You have a working identd running: pidentd-3.0.14-5 from disc #2. # chkconfig identd --list identd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off # service identd status identd (pid 638 637 636 635 633) is running...

Yes, they conflict because the installer of your identd package doesn't like to remove /usr/sbin/in.identd before creating a new link. > Can both be uninstalled and then re-installed? Can this be fixed? You're probably chasing into the wrong direction. But of course, you could "rpm -e pidentd" and then try your self-compiled stuff. Would be nice of you, though, if you described your problems with the identd that ships with Red Hat Linux 7.3. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9xQhv0iMVcrivHFQRArBdAJ9ymvCNrxaODzvslD534ZVhy++zVgCgiHyt 159A1ONFcj7jpfjGKE9Xipk= =93VL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
