Here are some "common" confusing errors that I keep on forgetting and
re-discovering.
- umask 002 # important! gcc fails when /usr/local/include
is drwxr-x---
- depmod - run this after making and installing a new kernel module
- ldd - run this on a binary to check for library dependencies, when
executable command fails due to missing shared libraries
- ldconfig - run this after installing new shared libraries and after
editing /etc/ld.so.conf
- console.perms - controls login/logout permissions, including devices
like /dev/dsp, see: man console.perms
These M$ Windows pitfalls are related for multiboot machines or for interoperating.
- samba - EnablePlainTextPassword
Start>Run
regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>System>CurrentControlSet>Services>VxD>VNETSUP
Edit>New>DWORD
Value
EnablePlainTextPassword 1 (double-click
name to modify 0 to 1)
- samba - smb.conf is /etc/samba/smb.conf in RedHat 7.2 or newer, not
/etc/smb.conf
- delpart.exe - DOS fdisk can't delete some non-DOS linux-style partitions
that it doesn't recognize, so find this tool on the web and use it.
