[cobalt-users] RPM/SRPM for nfs-utils-1.0.1-3.9 now available



FWIW, I just tried building 1.0.1-3.9 on my RaQ 4. It built ok, but failed during the upgrade attempt due to no "/sbin/nologin"... which is apparently provided by util-linus... which is a Cobaltized RPM on the RaQ 4...

In looking at the .spec file, nologin is required when creating the NFS user... I guess the .spec file could be edited and change the new user shell from "-s /sbin/nologin" to "-s /sbin/badsh" (lines 89 and 94 in the .spec file). And then update the 'prereq' list to remove /sbin/nologin.

I could do it, but then it's no longer a "plain" RPM and some people have issues with getting RPMs from "unknown" sources. So if you want, you can build your own RPM - juse make the changes I listed first.

I made a RaQ 3/4 RPM and SRPM which are at http://www.cobaltfaqs.com/download/ (with MD5 sigs as well). All I did is what's listed above - removed the /sbin/nologin prereq, and changed the shell for the new NFS user from /sbin/nologin to /bin/badsh.

I've got to dust off the RaQ 2 and then I can make RPMs for the MIPS as well... unless someone else wants to do it and send 'em to me to post.
