I've resurrected a linux box that had RH7.something installed, current
kernel is 2.8.18. Anyway, the user accounts (all one of them) I had setup
before work fine.
I can't for the life of me add a new one though, because the password
doesn't seem to be getting handled correctly.
When I do 'useradd -g mailer -p test mynewuser', an entry ends up in
/etc/shadow that looks like
mynewuser:test:...... In other words the cleartext password is in the
shadow file. I can't change it or log in. If I …
[View More]specify no password (no -p)
it doesn't work either.
I've run the pwconv program, nothing seems to help.
Any clues? I played with this for two hours and couldn't make any sense of
it.
I did find an article on line where someone had the same symptoms and pwconv
fixed it, but I can't make it work.
Thanks.

Sorry a litte off topic, but i'm guessing there are some engineers on
here who might like the HP cacluators.
I'm looking for someplace local to buy a HP49G calculator. I need it
fast, so i can't order online.
Anyone have ideas?
thanks

My home DSL has been down for over 48 hours and it appears that it will be
down for several more days. (I spare you the gory details). I am concerned
about losing mail coming into various domains at that site.
That RH 7.3 machine runs mail/web/primary DNS for those domains.
I have modified the secondary DNS records for those domains (on a machine
at my office - also on DSL) with an higher cost MX record pointing to a
machine at the office also running RH 7.3 and sendmail, which I assume …
[View More]will
pick up and queue the mail. The DNS TTLs are reasonably short, fortunately.
I've done this following O'Reilly/Sendmail book 2nd edition, but its not
always crystal clear if you don't already understand it! Is there anything
else I have to do on the backup machine (pointed to by the new MX records),
particularly is there anything I have to do to its sendmail config files?
Any other pointers or "gotcha"s to this whole process?

There's no reason not to restart the WPILA, especially since it
provides meeting space here on campus. I'm sure it will be closely tied
to WLUG, of course.

I have an mp3 that i wish to burn to CD.
mp3 original is 22khz mono. Using the xmms disk writer i can output
this to wav, but the sampling is still the same.
To burn to CD, cdrecord requires 44khz stereo. Anyone know of an
easy way to get into the format i need?
Thanks

You know it's going to be a long day when you get up, shave and shower,
start to get dressed and your shoes are still warm.

I was searching around Google for something, and I came across WLUG
information, and I thought it was wierd. Then I noticed the URL:
http://wlug.org.nz/
They are, apparently, "the WLUG", versus our just being "WLUG".
