Dear sir or madam, Recent updates have been causing more problems instead of solving problems : - Update kernels from the 2.4.20-13.9-family caused kernel-panics, eth0 hangups at shutdown, Audigy soundcards going silent etc. (Question : I have experienced all of this so why was all this not seen prior to release ? This is supposed to be Red Had Update and not Rawhide.) - Update for the Xinetd-2.3.11-1.9.0 super-server effectively hinders/breaks down carefully crafted rexecs/rlogins/rsh permissions which I need for my OpenMosix-cluster. The first line of problems can be dealt with by installing the 2.4.20-13.9.1-line of kernels from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/testkernels/ (thanks Arjan) or by reinstalling the 2.4.20-9 update kernel. The workings of the Xinetd super-server can be restored by doing a force install of the original RH9 Xinetd-2.3.10-6. The problem with this is that an update is supposed to be a upgrade in security or bugfix so that means you should really apply the update, but what if then nothing works as it should ? Has the functionality of the super-server been transferred elsewere ? If so why have we not been told so in the errata ? Regards John Pover
