Re: RH question
Paul, I did a search on google for your file and I think I found it: http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/rhnsd8.html It seems to be part of Red Hat's up2date system. Hope this solves your mystery.

Yeah, I would have tried that, but as I mentioned in my original post, as soon as the first rpm -qf returned, the system was rebooted out from under me.

What's the /etc/sysconfig/rhn subdir for, and what's in there (other than the systemid file :) It's the redhat network stuff for doing up2date and the auto-update features. RHN (RedHat Network) registers your machine architecture, version, hardware and packages (optional on each, I think), and when you run up2date, it knows what relevant updates to give you.

Re: RH question
I'm guessing the rhn subdir is for the Red Hat Network programs. When you sign up for up2date, you're signing up the Red Hat Network. My RH 8.0 machine does not have that subdir, but I've also never even run one of the rhn apps on it. I update using wget and a NFS-mounted directory from my server. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

We have a lot of 7.3 and 8.0 machines none of which this subdir exists on. This is the first 9 machine I've seen, and it was just loaded.
