Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL4-Reference Guide Version: rhel-rg(EN)-4-HTML-RHI (2004-09-30T17:13) 1.4.2 Runlevel Utilities Error Type: incorrect command location Priority: medium /sbin/ntsysv is now located at /usr/sbin/ntsysv [ no symlink exists either, this old location was correct in RHEL3 ] [ appears elsewhere in rhel-rg, search for /sbin/ntsysv throughout ] [ ntsysv referred to inconsistently within the rhel-rg with and ] [ without path prefix ] 2.6 Grub Commands, Paragraph detailing "kernel" option Error Type: consistency Priority: low paragraph should probably refer to "root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00" not "/dev/hda5" or "hda5" and examples should be "kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-1.523 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00" to be consistent with Section 2.7.1 et al. Removal of references to kernel version 2.4.21 throughout. 3.2.1.14 The /var/ Directory Error Type: typo Priority: ultra-low "System log files, such as messages/ and lastlog/" probably should be changed to "System log files, such as messages and lastlog" because these are filenames not directory names. 5.3.9.3 /proc/sys/kernel Error Type: non-default option referred to Priority: low Under "cap-bound" (and other sections) of the documentation says "For a valid list of values for this virtual file, refer to the following installed documentation: /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build/include/linux/capability.h." The file referred to is part of the kernel-devel package which is not part of the default installation set. The statement should include a reference to the kernel-devel package 5.3.9.4 /proc/sys/net Error Type: reference to unsupported option Priority: ultra-low "such as appletalk/, ethernet/, ipv4/".. should change to "such as ethernet/, ipv4/".. RHEL4 does not support appletalk and even though this is only an example people who use appletalk may go looking for appletalk elsewhere in the docs. 14.9.4. Useful Websites Error Type: Specific version number should be made generic Priority: ultra-low "samba-3.0.3"... replace with "samba-<versionnumber>"... For reference RHEL4 ships with 3.0.10. 17.1 TCP Wrappers Error Type: Bad example in Note section Priority: medium The Note for determining if a network service users TCP wrappers is outdated as most RHEL4 service are dynamically (not statically) linked with TCP wrappers. The example "strings -f <binary-name> | grep hosts_access" won't detect all services which use TCP wrappers. Perhaps ldd <binary-name> |grep libwrap would I believe catch a high proportion of wrappered services but neither method is 100%. 19.5 Configuring a Kerberos 5 Server (paragraph numbered 1.) Error Type: Old URL used Priority: low The official home page for NTP has changed from http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp to http://www.ntp.org 20.6 Requiring SSH for Remote Connections Error Type: Old reference Priority: ultra-low redhat-config-services change to system-config-services I think this has happened everywhere else in the docs. A.3. Ethernet Parameters Error Type: Old reference Priority: ultra-low modules.conf should be replaced with modprobe.conf Document Wide: You could consider search for "2.6.8-1.523" and aim to replace them with "2.6.9-5.EL" throughout as that's the kernel version RHEL4-U0 shipped with but I realise its almost always used as an example.
All requested changes have been made except for: 5.3.9.3 /proc/sys/kernel Error Type: non-default option referred to Priority: low Under "cap-bound" (and other sections) of the documentation says "For a valid list of values for this virtual file, refer to the following installed documentation: /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build/include/linux/capability.h." The file referred to is part of the kernel-devel package which is not part of the default installation set. The statement should include a reference to the kernel-devel package >> Can you suggest an appropriate package? Another change not yet made is this: Document Wide: You could consider search for "2.6.8-1.523" and aim to replace them with "2.6.9-5.EL" throughout as that's the kernel version RHEL4-U0 shipped with but I realise its almost always used as an example. >> Are there kernel changes between updates that make such changes difficult >> to maintain properly?
