Create a small background process in %pre. E.g. %pre mount whatever to get my / if not mounted mkdir /tmp/ssh cp /mountpoint/etc/ssh/* /tmp/ssh umount /mountpoint while : do if [ -d /mnt/sysimage/etc/ssh ] then sleep 10 # let ssh rpm finish any post work cp -f /tmp/ssh/* /mnt/sysimage/etc/ssh break fi sleep 1 done & This will loop forever until /mnt/sysimage/etc/ssh exists as part of the ssh rpm install. Then the files will be copied over. I am doing something similar for remote monitoring. > -----Original Message----- > From: kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Crow69 > aka thedude > Sent: Monday, December 01, 2003 4:52 PM > To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: preinstall section - how to backup ssh keys? > > > I'm trying to backup the ssh keys on a server to be > rekickstarted but I am > having trouble.
