Hi All, I have just installed redhat 7.2 and we use rcf 5.2.1 firewall script which isn't yet fully compatible with the 2.4 kernel. How would we go about downgrading kernel? I couldnt locate an 2.2 kernel. What is the best and easilest way ? Any help would be great Matt __

Tape writing format?

I have some Solaris servers we are migrationt to Red Hat Linux. What I was hoping to do is write the data that we want to move from the Solaris box to the new server to tape, put the tape into the Linux box and restore the data. There seems to be an incompatibility in the way the tapes are writt

Hi! -Start E.S- Create a directory. Put all the glibc related rpms from the updates in that directory. You should have: glibc-2.2.4-19.3.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.2.4-19.3.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.2.4-19.3.i386.rpm glibc-profile-2.2.4-19.3.i386.rpm -End E.S- $ I 'm on i686 so I ex

Exactly my thoughts. If odemba wants, there are commercial front ends for IPtables, but I don't think they're necessary. On Fri, 15 Mar 2002, Pieter De Wit wrote: > Why, what is wrong with ipchains/iptables ? > > -Original Message- > From: Keith Morse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent
