Date: Sun 27-Nov-1991 16:45:06 From: gt1111a@prism.gatech.EDU (Vincent Fox) Subject: 2 NS 2.1 annoyances: any fixes? I recently upgraded 2 cubes from NS 1.0 to 2.1 extended. There are two annoying things that occur after the upgrade that I'm hoping someone can tell me how to fix: 1) I login normally. But when I try to su to root, it hangs on me. Logging in as root works fine, it's just su that seems to be affected. 2) rusers never responds on either machine. It always gives me: cadnext4: RPC: Timed out Strangely enough rup works fine. I clicked always preserve during the upgrade and checked the files afterward. rusersd is enabled inetd.conf and such. I never had these problems before the upgrade, and the "always preserve" should have (and did as far as I can tell) keep all the on-site mods.
