- I am running version .98 of the SLS release of Linux. After playing with it
- for the best part of a week I have got almost everyting working correctly.
- There are however several questions I have:
-
- 1 - Syslog
-
- How do I get it working? What is the name of the file it outputs information to?
- There is no syslogd program included with the SLS release, just the binary
- syslog.
-
- 2 - Makewhatis
-
- This program is supposed to read the title information from all the man pages.
- Unfortunately it doesnt work as the directorys in the script are not the same
- as the actual man directorys. This is easily changed, however the gawk script
- included in tyhe makewhatis program also does not work correctly. As I don't
- know much about awk scripts can anyone help!
-
- 3 - Login
-
- The login program included with the SLS release does not log invalid attempts,
- retrys etc. Is there another version availibke which is more advanced?
-
- Thanks in advance
