Hi,
The following problem has afflicted RedHat for a while.
Our /var/run/utmp file is slowly growing, seemingly without bounds. Our
system is RH5.1. This happened with RH4.2.
The file is now 300k in size. Obviously, certain system actions are now
getting slower.

Hi,
We upgraded our server from RH4.2 to RH5.1
Now, a few ftpd processes have stuck within a week of uptime.
strace -p on them shows they are stuck, possibly forever, reading from fd

Another ftpd annoyance is that it calls itself "sendmail" in "ps auwx".
I hear a newer ftpd fixes at

Hi,
Sadly the number of unaddressed security issues in RedHat Linux systems

Hi,
RH5.1 won't install from FTP on our 8Mb machine here. It gets to me
inserting the supplementary floppy then just dies paging the floppy for
ages, at a time shortly afterwards.
The memory requirements of the installer perhaps need reviewing?

Hi,
Installed RH5.1, thought I'd best make sure you all know about a couple of
irritating bugs so they don't bite you.
RH5.1 is looking good overall though.
1) INSTALLER CANNOT RESOLVE DNS ALIASES in "select ftp server" box.
Possibly true for NFS too. ie. "ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk" works

To drag this thread kicking and screaming back towards _solutions_ rather
