Topic: e-smith configures itself as windows PDC

[Reggie Williams]

I installed 4.0 final and was sure to make the selection NOT to act as a PDC for my windows nt domain.
WhenI boot my nt server, I can not run the user manager on my domain because e-smith
is acting as the PDC. What can I do to correct this?

Please ensure that you have applied the updated e-smith-base RPM from ftp://ftp.e-smith.com/pub/e-smith/e-smith-4.0/updates/.

You need to log in as root (see the FAQ on www.e-smith.org if you don't know how), and apply the update using:

wget ftp://ftp.e-smith.com/pub/e-smith/e-smith-4.0/updates/RPMS/noarch/e-smith-base-4.0.12-28.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uhv e-smith-base-4.0.12-28.noarch.rpm
/sbine/e-smith/signal-event console-save

exit

[The wget command takes a single argument, the full URL of the RPM on the ftp site. That command is broken into three lines as I type it into the textbox, but I guess it will look OK when I post it.]

The first two lines works as suggested. The third line (/sbine/...) gives an error:

No such file or directory.


Any suggestions ?

[John Sadie]

Realised it should be /SBIN/... nor /SBINE?..

Still gives an error though -

Can't open directory /etc/e-smith/events/console-event

Any further suggestions ?

(The first two lines of the original suggestions seems to have done the trick, though.)

No, it should be /sbin, not /sbine - Linux is case sensitive.

You typed "console-event" where you should have typed "console-save".
