Today I upgraded my server to RH9.0. For some unexplained reason, while I was applying updates from RedHat the server crashed and now my RPM database is toast ("rpm -q glibc" says that glibc isn''t installed and rpm -qa generates 100''s of error messages; this is after an ''rpm --rebuilddb''). Tomorrow morning, I will be backing up my server and reinstalling the OS -- the following systems will be down indefinitely: lists.shorewall.net mail.shorewall.net www1.shorewall.net ftp1.shorewall.net -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy Shoreline, \ http://www.shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
