Hello everyone,
I tried qemu with fedora core 5 (with all the updates/security fixes to
the core build) and even qemu did not want to run on core 5. It said that
there are known issues with glibc 4.x (which just happens to be what is
installed on a core 5 updated). I also tried the 1.8.2 version of the
rescue cd source code and still got the login incorrect errors.
Anyway, I have just built a test box of mandrake 10.1 (the last version
before the name changed to mandriva) and I did a quick build of the bacula
rescue cd, and I was able to log on using a normal user account and then
su to root.
Bottom line seems to be, that if you want the rescue cd to work, don't use
fedora core 5.
Thing is sh is a symlink to bash, as it is in FC5 so I now know that it
was not anything I omitted to do or messed up.
I have not yet tried to restore the fc5 server from the mandrake rescue
cd. Have yet to correctly make the static bacula. The test was just to
see if I could actually login before spending too much time.
I am even considering changing our proxy server over to mandriva/mandrake
if the restore does not correctly work.
Regards,
Christopher Gregory.
