I actually have two kind of dumb GRML questions, and I haven't joined the GRML list yet to ask them. Actually, I have three: 1) GRML says that my user account can't execute a su to root. Specifically, if I type su I get: Sorry, user davros is not allowed to execute '/bin/su' as root on dalek. I've run a GNU/Linux for a long time and never seen this. What do I need to change to fix this? (BTW, yes, I have GRML on my HDD) 2) I changed /etc/network/interfaces to define eth0 to have a static IP, but whenever my machine reboots (and maybe at some other time) it goes and asks my router for a dynamic one. My network definition specifically says that eth0 is a static IP, though, and if I drop eth0 and re-establish it (ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0), I get the static IP I asked for. What am I missing? 3) I've got something really messed up somehow. Well, not a show stopper, but annoying nonetheless. During an upgrade, I got a problem with a package called open-iscsi which monitors SCSI devices or something (I don't have any). I can't install it and I can't remove it, because dpkg tries to start the service and gripes about a module that isn't there...and I can't determine what I need to install to get the module so I can get rid of the error and go on with life. Specifically: Removing open-iscsi ... Stopping iSCSI initiator service: iscsiadm: can not connect to iSCSI daemon! iscsiadm: exiting due to configuration error failed. Removing iSCSI enterprise target modules: FATAL: Module scsi_transport_iscsi not found. failed. invoke-rc.d: initscript open-iscsi, action "stop" failed. dpkg: error processing open-iscsi (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Starting iSCSI initiator service: FATAL: Module scsi_transport_iscsi not found. succeeded. Errors were encountered while processing: open-iscsi E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Looks pretty ugy. Where did I go wrong? -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV: Executive In Training!
