Hello,
Just a quick question. What is /etc/hushlogins and what is it used for?
...
Mine is a nearly empty file, it only contains a newline character. What is peculiar is that the file was created in 1994 Same here:
% ls -l /etc/hushlogins -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1 1994-01-08 15:30 /etc/hushlogins
Also note the source of this file, the package "aaa_base":
% rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/hushlogins aaa_base-10.0-28
On the other hand, "/etc/login.defs" comes from "pwdutils":
% rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/login.defs pwdutils-3.0.4-4.2
As a quick side question, what is the difference between --whatprovides and --file (-f)? Looking at the man page, it seems like whatprovides is a more general case of --file? What sort of other things besides files could you look for? -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.
