hi, i've noticed the following: [paul@fogarty paul]$ which id /usr/bin/id [paul@fogarty paul]$ which uniq /usr/bin/uniq [paul@fogarty paul]$ rpm -ql tcp_wrappers | grep libwrap.so /usr/lib/libwrap.so /usr/lib/libwrap.so.0 /usr/lib/libwrap.so.0.7.6 The problem with this is that: - id and uniq are required by init scripts, eg to setup IPv6 in the network init script, and portmap init script requires it too. - portmap resides in /bin but links to libwrap.so - which is in /usr/lib and may not be available. so would it be possible for: - the coreutils package to /truely/ be core, ie everything it installs should be either to /bin or /sbin. If needs be it should be pruned of utils which are not really core. - tcp_wrappers to install to /lib, not /usr/lib. This is a fairly important library, why is it installed to /usr/lib? thanks (from someone who boots machines from NFS, with /usr as a seperate export). regards, -- Paul Jakma paul@xxxxxxxx paul@xxxxxxxxx Key ID: 64A2FF6A warning: do not ever send email to spam@xxxxxxxxxx Fortune: Maternity pay?
