Some more info :-
If I enter the wrong password, the window reappears and asks for it again, but 
if I enter the correct password the window goes away, but the drak tool does 
not start.  So the problem seems to be *after* authentication.

Also.  I have now installed Gnome.  Does the same thing :(

please send your /etc/fstab (the one which includes the root mount
point!)

[Cooker] Bug Report 9.0 - NFS Mount point tool corrupts /etc/fstab

2002-08-13 Thread Derek Jennings 

Apologies if this is already known, but it is such a nasty bug I thought I had 
better raise it.

Using yesterdays Cooker I used MCC to add an NFS mount point. The detection of 
remote shares  and the mounting worked fine.

Only trouble is when it added the entry to /etc/fstab it also deleted the 
first line of the table which happened to be my root mount point.  Nasty!

I have replicated the problem. It has now done it twice in succession.

Thanks
