I'm inherently lazy, and I hate typing. All these solutions work, but
what's wrong with suing to root, typing 'vi /etc/issue', typing '!!clear'

trademarked by Larry Wall).

Hi,
I'm not sure what causes this problem but I've run into it once or twice
before. Possibly, your routine is looking for /usr/include/ctype.h and
what it's getting is /usr/include/linux/ctype.h which is different. If
your /usr/include/ctype.h file contains the #include_next ... line,
it's
Linuxconf handles mailertable databases? I am not talking about
sendmail.cf here. Even if Linuxconf DID handle it, poking in the routing
information for 50 sites by hand from uucp maps is rediculous when you
just run a single command (pathalias) that configured the routing table
for you.

Can you send the .rhosts in both hosts to the list?
As I remember it, the rshd is very picky about the way you specify
the hpost name in .rhosts. I think is has to be the same string

Configure the kernel by running make config in
