Date: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 15:47:16 +1000
Hi, i have only just upgraded our RedHat 5.2 server to 6.0
the /etc/securetty file contained console ttys and ttyp0-5 so that we could
do a remote root login, but now it doesn't work
the reason is that when you do a telnet login to redhat 6, it gives you the
tty /dev/pts/0 (like solaris)
when i put pts/0 pts/1,etc into /etc/securetty it doesn't do anything (that
i can see anyway)
what do i need to do so that i can do a remote root login???

Ho un problema con Linux Red Hat 6.0: dopo aver configurato correttamente il
modem, la connessione non riesce perchè la periferica cerca di accedere alla
rete (almeno così è scritto). Come faccio a disabilitare questa opzione?
Grazie.

I had the same problem. After reinstalling the whole RedHat (radical

Basicaly put "kppp" is not written for the Red Hat Dastro and will not
work without major configuration change.
The easiest way I've found to setup pppd under RH 5.2 or RH 6.0 is:
# linuxconf { either under X or text mode take you pick}
- Networking
- Client tasks
Select PPP/SLIP/PLIP
Click the ADD button
Make sure PPP is selected
Click the Accept button
Fill in the following fields
Phone Number
Modem Port
Click the use PAP check button
Login Name
Password
Click the Customize button
Select Allow any user (de)activate the interface
Click the Accept button
Click the quit button on the PPP/SLIP/PLIP page
Select Name server specification (DNS)
Fill in the Name Server Information asked by this page.
Click the Accept button
Click the Quit button
Press enter on the next screen to apply the updates.
Now at the command prompt
$ /sbin/ifup ppp0 will bring up the connection
$ /sbin/ifdown ppp0 will bring down the connection
Under X simplily load the program "usernet" is a simple to use one to
get you started, though there are other choices out there.
RedHat 5.2 and 6.0 versions of the Linux Dastro's are simple enough,
even a MicroS*t user should be able to set it up.
It's a whole lot simpler then MS-Widows to install and setup.

I'm using kppp to connect to my ISP (MindSpring) on a Red Hat 6.0 system;
it works almost flawlessly. I've also successfully used kppp on Red Hat 5.2.
Make sure you have the latest version of kppp (from kdenetwork-1.1.1)
and ppp version 2.3.7 or 2.3.8, and that you configure kppp appropriately
for your ISP.

I ran the install for StarOffice 5.1 with no problems.
Everything chugs along and finished without complaint.
Now, there is no "Office51/bin/soffice" file. Really.
In fact, the only executable in the bin directory is
"setup.bin" which is not very interesting.
Where on earth is this file ?
find office_path -name 'soffice' convinces me it is really not
there !
Absolutely everything else seems to be in place.
There are lots of happily populated directories like bin, cde,
config and so on.
This happened with RedHat 6.0.
I did not choose any particularly strange options during
installation, except for not asking for kde or other special
interfaces.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.

I've been using Broadcast 2000 to record my LPs on a Red Hat 6.0 system;
it should also work on Caldera.
Broadcast 2000 has excellent editing capabilities that let you customize fade
