Leonard, Thanks for the url. It looks like I made a change in the "Lead" which, accroding to 'Maximum RPM' isn't used for much ... Thanks again Richard == Hi Richard, > I thought that rpm's --checksig ran md5sum and gpg on the entire rpm file > except the embedded signatures) but that

Byte 0x46 is an arbitrary byte I chose. I thought that rpm's --checksig ran md5sum and gpg on the entire rpm file except the embedded signatures) but that doesn't seem to be the case, else rpm --checksig would have 'seen' the change. Richard > > > > > > The rpm --checksig verification fun

rpm --checksig Broken

2002-08-01 Thread rruth
The rpm --checksig verification function appears to be broken. (I am using RH 7.3 and rpm-4.0.4-7x.18) I changed one byte in an rpm file using hexedit then ran rpm --checksig. rpm sitll printed out: "md5 gpg OK" Here is what I did: cp xchat-1.8.9-1.73.0.i386.rpm xchat-1.8.9-1.73.0.i386.rpm.org

passwd and password history

2002-04-13 Thread rruth
Anyone know of a passwd replacement that would add 'password history' constraints to choosing passwords? (ie. no reuse of passwords) Npasswd http://www.utexas.edu/cc/unix/software/npasswd/ looks like it does this, but I have not been able to compile it on a Red Hat 7.2 system. Or does anyone

Try commenting out (use a "#") the SYSFONT line in /etc/sysconfig/i18n Richard = I know how to change the console font size under LILO to something smaller (with 50 rows), but RH 7.2 changes the console font back to normal early inthe boot processs. How do I keep or change

The DC-390U3W DOES work on RH 7.1: It is just hard to INSTALL RH 7.1 using a DC-390U3W SCSI card. (I had to get a 'special' RH 7.0 driver image and use it during the RH 7.1 install.) After RH 7.1 was installed it was easy to build a new kernel with the SYM53C8XX driver which supports the DC-

Anyone have any experience loading RH 7.2 on a SCSI system with a Tekram DC-390U3W controller? Is it supported on the cdrom? Do I have to use the drivers image? (It's not listed in the certified hardware page) (I had rough time with RH 7.1 because neither the installer nor the driver image
