From: STMQ%MARIST@VM.MARIST.EDU (Michael Quigley) Subject: poeigl-1.11/login under PL5 Date: 28 Feb 1993 19:14:33 -0600
Dear Linuxers,
I am currently running 0.99PL5 with the login/init and getty stuff that
comes with the SLS 1.0 distribution. I am toying with the idea of upgrading
to the PL6 kernel, but I have a problem. First of all, I like the SLS login
program better than poeigl's. The SLS login program has many more features,
and I like shadow passwords. So basically I don't want to get rid of it.
Secondly, I can't get poeigl's login to work on my system. I don't think
it is handling the shadow passwords correctly.
Anyone have any ideas on ways I can migrate to the newer kernel?
Also, I received many requests for information relating to my experiences
with making a boot/root disk combination. I have built a kernel with tape
support and xiafs. I successfully used this setup to switch my system to
xiafs from extfs. I will be summarizing the proceedure to comp.os.linux in
the upcoming week.
One other quick question for you all. The init program that comes with SLS
is the SystemV init package that is available on most of the linux sites,
isn't? It has different runlevels and all of the features of that package.
