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?

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).

There was a problem in that the Apple-shipped cron-scripts use 'hostname -s',
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" .
