The problem would be if yum checks it's db to see if it has previously installed /usr/bin/false and find that it hasn't. In that case it won't wok. Why don't you try it and see what happens.

I had no trouble copying it or linking it. ln -s /bin/false /usr/bin/false ls -al /usr/bin/false lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 5 17:47 /usr/bin/false -> /bin/false So that's a quick workaround Tony ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

My CentOS 5.1 machines don't have this, and this is the same list of yum install items I always use when setting up assp. Any idea what to do? jlc Wierd, I just confirmed the issue. There is not a /usr/bin/false, but there IS a /bin/false on a stock 5.2 install. You might check in the rpmforge forums/list archives for some mention of this problem. I thought I might be able to symlink /bin/false to /usr/bin/false (a kludge, I admit) or copy /bin/false to /usr/bin/false, but neither seems to work for me.
