This normally means that /etc/login.defs was not exactly as it was originally installed. Because you, the sysadmin, may have modified it instead of overriding the login.defs file and destroying your changes, it writes the new login.defs file to login.defs.rpmnew. Now you should diff the two files and decide that to keep. The best approach is usually to identify your own change, make the same change in the .rpmnew file, then mv the .rpmnew file into place. -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
