One would _hope_ that an update/upgrade would be kind enough
to not mungle with rc.local -- but that turned out not to be
the case, at least with RH versions though 6.0 ...
Those antecedent versions to RH 6.1 recognized that rc.local
was a 'config' file:
$ rpm -V initscripts
S.5T c /etc/rc.

I suppose the code that makes an issue file with the Red hat release
and kernel version could go in a script under /etc/rc.d/init.d,
perhaps called makeissue, and that scrip

Yup, just change where it munges the issue file in rc.local.

When I am in X, at 1600x1200 with a Matrox Mill2 AGP, and a
19" Viewsonic G790, smaller fonts that would otherwise look
fine underwindows (about a 10pt or 12pt courier) are
indistinguisably blurry, its starting to REALLY bother my
eyes, and I was curious how I could correct this
blurryness? I thin

I'm a FreeBSD guy who's new to Linux...and I need to be able to compile my

pam_console is a PAM module that provides access to programs and
devices when users are logged into the console. This means that you
don't need to set devices to 666 to allow normal users to use these
devices. After all, if you let the whole world read your audio
device, they could eavesdrop on

Something is very annoyingly changing permissions on /dev/cdrom and
/dev/dsp to 600, when it needs to be 444 and 666 to allow me as a

Can somebody tell me who the bloody culprit is so that I can bash it
