I've recently installed RH 4.0 (aka Colgate) on my home computer (w/ all
available updates) and discovered these few problems (I don't include
those that have already been reported by someone else):
shutdown -f creates /fastboot, not /etc/fastboot (heh.. this is mentioned
in SysVinit docs) but rc.d scripts still use the old filename [here is a
quick&dirty "fix": ln -s etc/fastboot fastboot]
IMHO, hdparm should go to /sbin rather than to /usr/sbin, because it is
sometimes desirable to use it before /usr and everything else is mounted
(or, God forbid, fsck'ed) to speed up the system startup.
rxvt (2.18) no longer uses -font but -fn (this breaks some supplied
fvwm*rc*'s and TheNextLevel).
rxvt writes to wtmp even if it gets +ls (inconsistent with xterm and quite
annoying)... this is probably a bug in rxvt itself, I know.
Local login failures write strange things to the log:
Oct 28 13:15:04 Bobanek login: FAILED LOGIN SESSION FROM (null) FOR root, Authentication failure
Nov 1 22:04:44 Bobanek pam[137]: pam_get_user: no where to record username
Some details about the supplied PAM modules would be welcome.
P.S. Has RH any e-mail address for bug reports?
