For all of those who replied to me about my chkconfig problem I thank you. My issue was that when I tried to change the run levels for named to 345, the script did not seem to be changing. In other words, I would run chkconfig named on or chkconfig -levels 345 named on but when I then ran chkconfig -list, named was still turned off on levels 345. Many people sent me emails saying that I had to restart named or the named service in order for named to start. I actually knew and understood that but could not understand why the config was not changing. What I eventually did to get this working was to change a portion of the init script that I was using at the time. Initially the script had # chkconfig 55 11 at the top. I had changed it to # chkconfig 345 55 11. Now I thought that that should work but when I tried the aforementioned chkconfig -levels 345 named on, it would not work while that line was in the init script. Once I took it out and tried again . all was well. I am still not really sure why this worked this way but that appeared to be what was wrong. On another note, I have another issue that is driving me a bit mad. I am running webmin-1.140-1 with Red Hat ES 3.0, openssl-0.9.7a-33.4, perl-5.8.0-88.4. I am trying to set up ssl encryption for Webmin and I get the following error: The Net::SSLeay perl module does not appear to be installed on your system. To install the OpenSSL library and Net::SSLeay, follow these instructions <http://www.webmin.com/ssl.html> from the Webmin website. Alternately, you can have Webmin download <http://ebony.zuka.net:10000/cpan/download.cgi?source=3&cpan=Net::SSLeay&mod e=2&return=/webmin/&returndesc=webmin%20configuration> and install the required Net::SSLeay Perl module for you. The error message from Perl was : Can't locate Net/SSLeay.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libexec/webmin /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) So, first I try to do this thru the Webmin interface and I get the following errors: Executing Makefile.PL && make .. sh: line 1: Makefile.PL: command not found Installation of Net_SSLeay.pm failed. Check the output above and try installing manually. You can also install the module from CPAN with the command perl -MCPAN -e shell So then I try it with CPAN and I get the following: SSLeay.c:6832: `SSL' undeclared (first use in this function) SSLeay.c:6832: `s' undeclared (first use in this function) SSLeay.c:6832: syntax error before ')' token SSLeay.xs:3408: `SSL3_RANDOM_SIZE' undeclared (first use in this function) SSLeay.c: In function `XS_Net__SSLeay_get_server_random': SSLeay.c:6848: `SSL' undeclared (first use in this function) SSLeay.c:6848: `s' undeclared (first use in this function) SSLeay.c:6848: syntax error before ')' token SSLeay.xs:3415: `SSL3_RANDOM_SIZE' undeclared (first use in this function) make: *** [SSLeay.o] Error 1 /usr/bin/make -j3 -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible **note that there is a ton of similar errors preceding this snippet here** I read that Net::SSLeay was not compatible with openssl-0.9.7a-33.4 but only 0.9.7b. These are all installed via rpm and so this is the only version available. I can install this stuff from the tar ball but for ease of updating and maintenance I had elected to use as much rpm as possible. Can anyone help me out here (sorry for the long message) Cheers Dave _______________________________________________ LinuxManagers mailing list - http://www.linuxmanagers.org submissions: LinuxManagers@linuxmanagers.org subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.linuxmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxmanagers
