I'm no expert about pam, but I would say pam is no service or daemon
(there at least is no start/stop script),
I'd say it's more like a database that tells applications where to find
modules that have authentication functionality.
Just my opinion, as I said I'm no expert.

The simplest solution I can think of is to locate the files which are
not found , and include the path in your makefile. If you are not able
to locate the files, then comment out the #include statement. but that
would be an overkill, since it would mean that you have wrong set of
files.

what you can do is to do a " ps -ef | grep httpd", which should list out
the httpd process running. If you see that the process is post-fixed
with module names as SSL and other stuff. you can kill all the httpd
process, and then restart them with hand by typing "httpd" and then try
. if this works , fine but can be a security related issue. it is better
to properly configure the file. command as follows.
bash% killall httpd
bash% <path>/httpd

If you have upgraded all of the utils/software that needs to be
upgraded (check src/linux-2.4.x/Documentation/Changes) then
when you run a "make modules" and "make modules install"
everything will work afterwards.

Subject: problems installing rh7.0: error reading partition table
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2001 11:01:53 -0600
Hello
I am installing RH 7.0 (standard boxed set) on a PIII with 512 MB RAM. The
machine has a Seagate Cheetah 18 GB SCSI hard disk and the SCSI card is an
Adaptec Ultra160 29160N. I wiped out the OS that came installed on it and
only want to install Linux. I have the latest aic7xxxx drivers from the
redhat site but I am getting the following error message:
"An error occurred reading the partition table for the block device
/tmp/sda. The error was: Device not configured".
I can't seem to find this error message anyplace and no one from redhat has
gotten back to me. Does anyone out there have any clues for me or had
anything like this before? This SCSI card is supported as far as I know and
searches on deja reveal that other people have been able to make this work.
Sorry if this is a newbie question.
Thanks,
Tony

Subject: LILO, boot problems
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2001 17:55:07 GMT
I recently recompiled a kernel and after running LILO my computer can
no longer find the hard disk. I am running Mandrake 7.2. When I do an
install/upgrade it can find my hard drive again. What do I need to do
to avoid problems like this in the future? I have a 20GB Western
Digital drive on an older Dell P90 with an updated BIOS that allow
the drive to be seen. It is set up as LBA I believe.
I was able to boot from the floppy bootdisk. I looked at my lilo.conf
and it looks like it should work. It got to the lilo screen a few
times and allowed me to choose to boot to linux. When I rebooted again
with no changes it wouldn't find the hard disk again.
Please help me. I have been working on this for several days.
As an alternative, how can I make a boot floppy that has my "append"
parameters? I have to ne2000 cards that need to get loaded on boot.

Dunno about NT. For windoze XX there is a freeware utility called XXCOPY
that works with doze booted into the GUI. For Linux I'm sure there's a
DD or other howto that explains the procedure. I use Partition Magic for
doze and OS/2. PM with Linux is tricky but doable.

You don't need root permissions for that. Simply set the umask to 000
(see "man umask") in the defaults for your login shell, by ading a line
"umask 000" to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc or ~/.bash_profile, whatever
is read at each login.

Subject: Linux on second Hardrive

Hi guys,
slight problem: I have a NT box with an 18 Gb hardrive full of Windows
based GIS data which I cannot afford to lose; I am trying to install
Linux to run an analysis program off a second Hardrive (18Gb)because the
data needs so much space; I am installing RH 6.2 from Cd's; in
the Disc Partitioning phase in the Disc Druid partitioning window it
reads:
<not set> sda1 15M 15M Oxde
<not set> sda2 17343M 17343M OS/2 HPFS
<not set> sdb1 23M 23M Linux native
<not set> sdb5 17414M 17343M Linux native
<not set> sdb6 70M 70M Linux swap
How do I set the mont points for a Lilo Dual boot ?
I read through all the Linux documentation but it does not say how to
deal with two hardrives !?
I hope somebody will help me because I am a little bit under pressure
here.
Thanks,
Andreas

Your BIOS probably has a series of setting that define when the screen
blanks and when the HDD spins down during idle times as separate from the
APM settings.
