Turns out it was a disk space problem. I decided to bite the bullet and do
a full install of linux since I really needed to repartion my disks. I
kept the 2nd disk in the system since it was the /home mount. After the
clean install, I was able to upgrade linuxconf with the file I had
previously downloaded, and it worked fine and got rid all the problems I
had seen in the RedHat 5.2 version.
So thanks to both responders. You were right on the money.
I had (have) 2 new problems, not necessarily linuxconf related. I had to
manually add the mgetty-sendfax RPM because I have a dial-in modem for
accessing the server from home. I suspect there is a better program than
mgetty, but I haven't found anything to tell me what the preferred utility
is. Anyway, I manually installed the RPM and configured it as I had done
in the past, and got my dial-in working again. While I'm on this subject,
it doesn't appear that there's a linuxconf module to handle the
configuartion of ppp dial-in, just ppp (client) dial-out. Is there a way
to do this directly in linuxconf?
The second new problem is that my mailserver doesn't have the pop function
working anymore. I looded in the log and found that it wants a pop3d
utility which isn't on my system. I am now researching that, but I'm
surprised that that problem was not solvable through linuxconf.
Thanks again for the responses
