Hi all, I just installed a small system from a running system using |
| 2 |
sys-i686-20010406.tgz |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I made a fs, mounted it under /mnt and untared that bad-boy from my currently |
| 5 |
running system, did all the steps in the install doc, did an init 1, then |
| 6 |
chroot to the new system. I exited chrooted env, unmounted then booted cleanly |
| 7 |
to gentoo. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
This is when the fun began ( I love this stuff ) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The first and formost thing I noticed was that syslog spitting out errors |
| 12 |
everytime the logger tries to make an entry (it can't access |
| 13 |
/var/log/syslog.d/ dir) so I change the perms, now it says it can't lock the |
| 14 |
dir. So my syslog is still broken. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Next I try to add a user using adduser and that application won't even run, I |
| 17 |
get "PAM authentication failed" I did however change roots password and am |
| 18 |
still able to login. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I'd really like to get this running at _least_ to a point where I can start to |
| 21 |
tinker with ports. I don't mind some hacking but I'd think at least the |
| 22 |
authentication should work on initial install. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Other than these things everything seems to work fine, but I can't seem to add |
| 25 |
a user and don't think I'd like to run as root all the time. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
TIA |
