OS Update 5.0 for the RaQ3 contains bind-8.2.3-C4.i386.rpm bind-utils-8.2.3-C4.i386.rpm However, it does not contain the init script for bind (/etc/rc.d/init.d/named) or the links in the respective runlevel directories (/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/). If you uninstall the Solarspeed bind-8.3.3-2, then your bind will be missing the init script and will therefore not start. So the suggested approach is this: Leave the bind-8.3.3-2 aboard. Then install OS Update 5 and once that is done you install bind-8.3.4 from Solarspeed. That worked for me on a few RaQ3's when I applied OS Update 5.0. If you want to be really on the safe side, you could choose this approach: 1.) Uninstall the Solarspeed bind-8.3.3-2 by running the uninstaller located somewhere in /var/lib/cobalt/uninstaller/ 2.) Reinstall the original Sun Cobalt bind for the RaQ3: rpm -hUv ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/products/raq3/RPMS/bind-8.2.3-C1.i386.rpm rpm -hUv ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/products/raq3/RPMS/bind-devel-8.2.3-C1.i386.rpm rpm -hUv ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/products/raq3/RPMS/bind-utils-8.2.3-C1.i386.rpm (You should not run this bind for a longer period of time, as it is pretty old and missing a few backported patches which were included in later PKGs and/or OS Updates) 3.) Apply OS Update 5.0 4.) (Optional) Install Solarspeed's Bind-8.3.4 -- With best regards, Michael Stauber [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix/Linux Support Engineer _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
