Nope :) | by BluesByNight | 2002-10-03 13:36:53 |

ctrl+alt+f(whatever) (n/t) | by surgo | 2002-10-03 13:39:30 |
|
Nope. That's caught by the X server. | by Avium | 2002-10-03 13:44:25 |

Not the X server, linux itself. (Ctl+Alt+F7 is X) | by Freakazoid | 2002-10-03 13:47:28 |
|
I knew that. Honest. | by Avium | 2002-10-03 13:52:10 |

I've got other problems with RedHat. | by Avium | 2002-10-03 14:03:57 |

Text based tools? | by Snowdog | 2002-10-03 14:20:20 |
| *sigh* Yes, I know about useradd. |

But that was simply an example. I also know about passwd, userdel, usermod, ... and I also know that many, if not most, of the graphical tools are simply wrappers that eventually call the command line version with the correct options.
But that doesn't help with the more exotic configuration options that RedHat has put in place. Which file do you vi to change the IP address and netmask? Where do you set which services to run at start up? Yes, you can ln and rm the files into and out of the rc?.d directories but the tool keeps them in the correct order. There are other tools, but you get my drift.
Mandrake has the tools in both X and ncurses versions which make it simple to install and configure a server without ever starting X on the machine. I like this option. |
