Hello all I am new to freevsd and a self taught hacker - thus I have large gaps in my understanding of everything computer related. In the mailing I was having the same problem as described earlier this year...

My freevsd.conf file had the $add_ons line in it twice so that wasn't the problem. Stepping through the process of creating a skel I discovered that during the generation of a new skel @bin_progs was defined. After digging around I found that the file /etc/vsd/freevsd.conf also defines the array @bin_progs. This error occurs because these files are left out of this array - they are not added to the skel. By appending 'mkdir' 'rm' 'su' to the end of this array it seems to stop these errors anyhow... Is there a reason for leaving these out? For current skels and servers I assume I must add these files manually. Or alternatively delete the whole mess and start over which is what I am doing. Am I missing something? Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. I have had a lot of problems in stalling this so I ordered the CD-ROM. If I can get it up and working it will be worth it. I am installing it one my home DSL line (Speakeasy.net - they encourage users to run servers) to host about ten domains I have as a reseller of a reseller of a reseller... >>>> I'm afraid so. Re-generate your skel & re-create your virtual servers. If you don't get a line like: Installing third party packages from vsd-genskel.pl then you'll run into the same problems again (but this shouldn't happen because of the $add_ons line in freevsd.conf).
