I am not really knowledgeable on that subject, but I have read that doing soft mounts is bad, because in some cases it may result in file corruption.

Like: /dallas ripley(rw,root_squash) An such line says you want to export to ripley. But I assume you want to export to the whole 192.168.230.

detect caracter set of a text
Hi, I have several problems with non utf-8 encoded texts, and I would like to know how to detect which encoding it is. Is there a utility usefull for that ?

Re: Wrong view of ä,ö,ü
Hi, > I installed redhat 8, some programms shows the ö,ä,ü ... wrong. (vim, > perl output) > What can I do? If this is the problem I describe, this should only happen with files created with older versions of redhat. I think this is linked with UTF-8 being the default encodind, now. To overcome, you can, either set LANG=C before launching your application or convert your files encodings with iconv. Your encoding is surely latin-1. If it is not, I have no clue on how to do to detect the encoding of a file. It is a bit strange that vim doesn't recognize the right encoding, as in my case it did.

I haven't a definite answer, but you should try su - instead of su. I know su - emulates a login and su doesn't. For example when I do a su LOGNAME is still my user name, with su - it is root. Maybe something like that is creating trouble. Pat ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Thus you end up with something like if [ -n server:/mnt/root on /mnt/root/. ] This is an incorrect syntax for [ -n ]. ( [ -n server:/mnt/root ] should be fine, but here you have too many arguments).

And also 0600 0600 root.root According to the pam_console man page list, /var/run/console.lock and /var/run/console are important, that's why I posted that in my previous post: /dev/console is in mode 600 owned by root /var/run/console.lock is present in mode 600 owned by root /var/run/console contains a file with name the name of the user currently logged, owned by root with perms 600 I think it shows that the user has his rights given by pam_console.

after upgrade to 7.2 X don't start console ownership problem
Hi, Maybe this should go on redhat-install-list ? I have just upgraded my redhat box from a 7.0 (with lots of 7.1 and 7.2 rpm) to 7.2. I start X from the console using startx. I did it without problem just one time. Now I can only start X as root. As a user, I get: Fatal server error: PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server. Perhaps you do not have console ownership? I searched a bit on the web and I found my problem risen a lot of times, but I haven't found a solution. /dev/console is in mode 600 owned by root /var/run/console.lock is present in mode 600 owned by root /var/run/console contains a file with name the name of the user currently logged, owned by root with perms 600 Any idea ?
