- A few questions.
-
- 1) Once someone logs into a secure terminal they never get removed from
- utmp until another person logs in (so who always shows someone logged
- into console, tty1 (com1) and tty2 (com2). Is there a way to fix this
- behavior?
-
- 2) I have 6 megs unpartitoned on my harddrive. Is there an way to make
- this into 6 megs of swap space? Also, how much swap space is put in
- from install? I have heard people say 5, but others have told me 6.
-
- 3) How do I get localhost to work? I have it defined in /etc/hosts, but
- I don't think that anything is looking there for ip addresses, and our
- nameserver doesn't seem to have it defined. mail seems to have a lot of
- bugs though unless localhost works properly.
