Ok, why did redhat write a script to backup your files to tape, but
did not write a script to restore them???
Just curious! [grin] I am having a hard time restoring a particular file
from my tape.
I used: tar -xvf /dev/nst0 dir/filename
but it doesn't seem to work!
Thanks for you time!

the case just rename your old kernel before copying the new one, then

Hi,
Tried loading RedHat Linux 4.2 on Intel's YM430TX motherboard (Made in
Taiwan though) which has a PentiumMMX/166 MHz in socket 7. The motherboard
has PCI as well as ISA slots. The machine came loaded with Win95 (OSr2)
and I wanted to wipe that out with RedHat Linux 4.2.
The boot disk gives P
This happens when a program is launched in a directory and that

I think that it is the tcpd wrapper that does reverselookup, and not the
telnet or other utilities. Try removing the tcpd from /etc/inetd.conf,
ofcourse you will be loosing some security features.

Are you sure that there is not a lock file somewhere that you have to

At work I set up SMB on a Linux file server. I found out that I had to
recompile the PAM stuff in order to make SMB work with user
authentication again after I upgraded to glibc-2.0.7-6. The
pam_unix_auth.so that's used for SMB seemed to be SEGV'ing with the new
glibc.
