I stuck an "hcp logoff" option in /etc/init.d/halt, to log off the machine after
everything else was done. It works very well, and could easily be adapted to issue

To expand on #1, the last time I looked, the "final beta" had the 2.2 kernel, not
2.4.7. We've had problems with packages developed and tested on the 2.2 version, when
run on the 2.4 GA system.

Either way will do. The install kernel has the advantage that it's self contained,
doesn't need to be updated, and doesn't break, since it's rebuilt from "scratch" every
time you boot it.
It's annoying having to do the manual net config every time, but I could fix that if I
had the time.

What about /lib (and particularly /lib/modules)? You can't just switch kernels

Okay, that makes sense. The way Winbind works is it gets the RID from the Domain, and
assigns a UID number sequentially from a pool specified in smb.conf. It adds this

It looks like you have a line like:

Instead of a variable assignment, it's interpreting the command as a program call, and
rc.config runs in EVERY init script.

You can insmod the IBM drivers with the new kernel. We're doing it, and it works fine.
You have to use the '-f' option though, but only because SuSE changed the ID string
for the kernel. The 'new' kernel is still 2.4.7, just with a few fixes.

Aside from some (fairly glaring) technical inaccuracies, I can't see much I'm

You can use the original SLES7 kernel, which is 2.4.7, but you need the qdio and qeth

Also, SuSE, in their wisdom, changed the version ID string for the kernel, so you have
to insmod -f the drivers to get them to install.
