I'm at the moment about to install fedora (core2) on a load of public lab machines for students to use. Before I do so I'm having a quick look at the environment and have put core2 on a couple of machines, one with a fresh install and the other by upgrading from 8.0 to Fedora core2. I was just checking things when I notices that these 2 binaries were different sizes: /usr/bin/ypbind. I at first thought that they belonged to different RPMs but when I ran 'rpm -qf /sbin/ypbind' I saw that indeed they had the same version of the ypbind rpm. The strange thing is that the machine that has the 'correct' size of binary is the upgraded machine, whereas the newly installed machine has a binary that is a different size to that reported by the RPM database. Here's what output from the new machine: [root@lx7 root]# rpm -qf /sbin/ypbind ypbind-1.17.2-1 [root@lx7 root]# rpm -qlv ypbind-1.17.2-1|grep /sbin/ypbind -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 31512 Feb 24 2004 /sbin/ypbind [root@lx7 root]# ls -l /sbin/ypbind -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34404 Feb 24 2004 /sbin/ypbind What's going on? Can someone explain this discrepancy? Thanks in advance, Ross -- Ross Macintyre (raz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx)
