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.
