Hi Al, I can't really look at this until I get back from my trip, which will be on Thursday. It's possible I won't have time to play with this stuff until next weekend (June 3rd).
My suggestions for useradd: Make sure that the home directory does NOT exist (if it does, you likely don't want to use the option to create the home directory - in fact, you likely want to just skip creation of the account in that case, as it would likely exist). Also, make sure that the command works out of RPM first (i.e. from the command line), then try it in a .spec file. If you're getting usage info from useradd when trying the install, it sounds to me like you have some invalid option or combination of options. Much easier to debug from the command line than to debug from RPM. I see your information on how to create an RPM - is this for an RPM or for an SRPM? And what was the reasoning for doing an SRPM vs. an RPM? (I'm far from an RPM wizard; I've used both, and strictly speaking, I suppose slimserver is more of an SRPM than an RPM - although I'm not certain this is true with the CPAN stuff. If the CPAN stuff has compiled code for C <-> PERL interfaces, then it's really a RPM, not an SRPM.) -- Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23594 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
