Hi, It looks like you have some messed-up permissions... Check the permission for /etc/rc.config.d/* ( should be 644 for each file, or -rw-r--r-- )
This incident brings up some interesting questions: 1) Why is root limited to membership in only 32 groups. (I never added, changed or removed root to any groups. SuSE did that out of the box.)
This is a limitation of Linux.. I guess it will change in the future - in hpux it did :-)
2) If, during SuSEconfig execution (or kernel booting), there are files that root doesn't have access to, what user does? I thought root was GOD.
Even root is not allowed to execute or source files that are chmod 000 :-)
3) How can my email get out if KMail keeps telling me it can't connect with my ISP. I've got sendmail selected as the protocal. SMTP won't even work. Is the mail sneaking out via the localhost?
Even "localhost" uses sendmail to send the mail ( it creates a temporary file with all the correct headers, and then uses "sendmail -t" to send it. So sendmail has to be correctly installed. ) Also.. it looks as if your box is running the post-install setup script every time you boot... Check the /sbin/init.d/ scripts to find out why ( it should be run only once... ) Regards, Tor Sigurdsson -- ______ /---------------------------------------\ \ | Þór Sigurðsson | Tor Sigurdsson | t | | Netmaður | Network Specialist | o | |-----------------------------------------| s | | tosi@rhi.hi.is | i | \---------------------------------------/_____/ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
