Sorry about that, fixed.

It shouldn't really be a problem -- I wouldn't exactly call Fedora 10 legacy unsupported code yet. :) If you need to pull in /etc/group and /etc/passwd, make sure you also pull in whatever version of libnss_files you need -- glibc loads them on the fly, so the usual library depsolving magic does not work. > I need an 'rpc' user for rpcbind anyways, so we could just put dummies > in for that, since I don't care who really owns that data -- it'll be > thrown away anyways. It might be useful to make grabbing subsets of /etc/group,/etc/passwd, and libnss into a function for dracut modules to call. How to do that in a sufficiently elegant fashion is a bit beyond me ATM. > Thanks, > Dave > -- Victor Lowther RHCE# 805008539634727 LPIC-2# LPI000140019 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
