Subject: [suse-sparc] NewBiew SUSE SPARC Linux

    Hi all,

    I'm a SPARC linux user from 2 years ago, really a RedHat SPARC Linux user :
    -(.
    From few month RedHat stop the support for SPARC, so now I run my
    SPARCClassic
    with an OLD RH 6.2, but many softwares are too old to use, so I want to
    made a new
    installation of SUSE LINUX 7.1 for SPARC. I boot with a tape, QIC-150 with
    the
    tftp32 image bacause my sun is floppy-less and CD-less, I install with
    Yast2
    [ very low :-( ] in text mode a "minimal" selection without X, after the
    NSF
    installation I install other software like Apache, PostgreSQL, DHCPD, SAMBA
    ecc.
    This SUN is my home server :-)

    I have some newbie question :

    1 - I want to use this box like telnet server but I don't be able to find
    the telnetd
    or a conf file to startup it, also in rpm files I don't be able to find one
    :-(
    Can any one help me to start a telnetd after a new sparc installation ?
    ... or I Must use SSH because in SUSE SPARC 7.1 there isn't a telnetd for
    sec
    reason ?

    2 - I dowonload only first 3 iso cd immage, only the bin cd without the
    source. Where
    I can find the Kernel source ? Can I download it from a ftp o web site or I
    must get
    the two iso source image ? ( I use 2.2.18 Kernel )
    I want to recompile the standard kernel to better performance

    3 - after the installation I try to made a new user with useradd command
    and with yast.
    No error message but this tools don't create the home dir for the created
    user. Why ?
    When I login with new user ... no homedir available so the user logoin
    direcly
    in / file-system.

    Anyone con help me ?

    Thanks.

    PS : I look that no netscape rpm are included into suse, why ? In rh I use
    Netscape
    on sparc linux with out core :-)
