I did get a few of those, but also looked at the ones I though might matter before posting. The ones in /etc: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date.rpmnew /etc/X11/fs/config.rpmnew /etc/X11/XF86Config.rpmnew /etc/xinetd.d/chargen-udp.rpmnew /etc/xinetd.d/daytime-udp.rpmnew /etc/xinetd.d/echo-udp.rpmnew /etc/ssh/sshd_config.rpmnew /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.rpmnew /etc/php.ini.rpmnew I haven't ventured into the XF86Config yet but far as I know the rpmnew files mean my old settings are left in place.

Do you know anything about this (from recent log input in /var/log/messages): Mar 20 10:40:35 reader rc.sysinit: \ Setting default font (lat0-sun16): succeeded Is that normal as a default font... I don't recall ever seeing that in boot messages before. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
