Wetmore" <aw2t+@andrew.cmu.edu> Subject: who,swap space,localhost Lines: 18 A few questions. 1) Once someone logs into a secure terminal they never get removed from utmp until another person logs in (so who always shows someone logged into console, tty1 (com1) and tty2 (com2). Is there a way to fix this behavior? 2) I have 6 megs unpartitoned on my harddrive. Is there an way to make this into 6 megs of swap space? Also, how much swap space is put in from install? I have heard people say 5, but others have told me 6. 3) How do I get localhost to work? I have it defined in /etc/hosts, but I don't think that anything is looking there for ip addresses, and our nameserver doesn't seem to have it defined. mail seems to have a lot of bugs though unless localhost works properly. htoaster
