"rpm -qf /etc/inittab" shows you that this is a part of the package aaa_base. After reinstalling this package from your source media you should be fine. In case you don't know: There is an English SuSE Linux mailing list at suse-linux-en@suse.com.

Too much whisky or too many hours without sleep? ;-)

Oh, yeah. But why don't you mail to 'suse-linux-e'? This is the german 'suse-linux' list...

# rpm -qf /etc/inittab aaa_base-99.9.8-0 The easiest would be: insert your CD1, use 'mc' to open 'aaa_base-*.rpm' ('mc /cdrom/suse/a1/aaa_base<tab>.rpm#rpm') and then just copy the inittab out of the rpm to /etc/inittab. -dnh -- 'Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadn't thought of that', and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic. -- Douglas Adams, The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The easiest would be: insert your CD1, use 'mc' to open 'aaa_base-*.rpm' ('mc /cdrom/suse/a1/aaa_base<tab>.rpm#rpm') and then just copy the inittab out of the rpm to /etc/inittab.
Ist erledigt, er hat meine gekriegt (die war noch so gut wie neu ;-). Jan

Bei *mir*??? Wo denkst du hin! # rpm -qlv aaa_base | grep inittab -rw-r--r-- root root 2626 Dec 11 1998 /etc/inittab $ rpmqf distribution aaa_base SuSE Linux 6.2 (i386) *bg* Oh, ja, das sollte ich wohl angeben, zu 'rpmqf' siehe [1], kann man ein paar "schnieke" Dinge praktischer als mit rpm direkt machen ;) Ein paar Sachen (z.B. das mit den Arrays (in %files z.B.)) hab ich aber noch nicht getestet bzw. diese lassen sich wohl besser via rpm direkt verwursten. Aber fuer das uebliche ist ein 'rpmqf foo paket' leichter als ein 'rpm -q --queryformat "%{foo}" paket'... :)

Apropos: wie kann ich auf meiner HP Apollo 425 (HPUX 9.00) PDFs lesen? Argh, YKINOK! Ja, ist hier denn de.soc.subkultur.bsdm? HPUX, noch dazu 9.00 und ohne Compiler? Auf einer Kiste ohne CPU und ohne Speicher? Warum nimmst Du denn nicht gleich einen Abakus? Isst Du auch kleine Kinder mit Senf? -- KK in dasr
