Just solved my own problem, seem that I forgotten to add the + entry into the passwd file, also installing the non-us des distribution solve the problem of changing passwd from a NIS client... Now just need to get the linux emulator to work...beside editing the config file adding in the options COMPAT_LINUX & options LINUX and recompiling the kernel, must I do anything else to get the linux emulator to work?? My recompiled kernel from the 2.1.5-RELEASE doesn't seem to work. Anyone got a clue?? -- ============================================================================== Lai Loong Fong | email: mailto:csclailf@nus.sg Computational Science Department | WWW: http://www.cz3.nus.sg:8100/~lailf National University of Singapore | http://s130016.pc.nus.sg
