Hadn't heard anything so I wanted to try again... has anyone else experienced the following or have any thoughts on what to do to correct it?There was a problem in that the Apple-shipped cron-scripts use 'hostname -s',
After installing coreutils, the fink version of su fails, apparently because it isn't properly getting account info from Panther. OpenSSH seems to also have this problem, as when I run the fink ssh daemon, I am unable to login remotely because all account/password combinations are rejected.
Any one else have similar problems with Panther or have thoughts on how to correct this? If it matters, I did a clean install of Panther (all Jaguar stuff removed first).
and coreutils' hostname doesn't know this option, hence sets the hostname to '-s'.
To verify that this is the only cause of your troubles, check first your hostname
(uname -n), if it is wrong ( '-s' ), reset it using the hostname command.
To prevent the trouble from reoccurring, you can either rename or remove
/sw/bin/hostname , or _ what I did _ replace in each of the 3 cron-scripts
(daily, weekly and monthly ) the command "hostname -s" in the beginning
by "/bin/hostname -s" .
