1999-08-17 Thread Alex Shnitman
not there it shouldn't wait for a root password like it does now, but just fail and continue booting. Is it possible somehow? Thanks in advance! Please, CC me on your replies, since I'm not on this list. Thanks. -- Alex Shnitman| http://www.debian.org [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL

in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ a script like so: #!/bin/sh if [-x /usr/sbin/runq]; then You forgot the spaces - [ is actually a program (check /usr/bin/[) so its name needs to be separate from the -x parameter. Same for the closing bracket which needs to be a separate parameter. -- Alex Shnitman

alien or rpm?

1998-10-22 Thread Alex Shnitman
Hey. I was wondering, what would be a better idea, to install an RPM package by converting it first to .deb with alien, or just by using RPM directly since it's there? -- Alex Shnitman [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN 188956 http://alexsh.home.ml.org -- PGP key here http://www.debian.org

(from the author's site), build it and you'll have the newest mkisofs which you can copy over /usr/bin/mkisofs. For some reason hamm comes with a pretty old mkisofs, and there's no newer one in slink. -- Alex Shnitman [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://alexsh.home.ml.org

with the way shadow passwords work in Solaris and in Linux. However, on an adjacent Slackware box it works flawlessly. What can be the problem?
