Please Help Red Hat 7.2 GUI not loading & Connection issue
Please Help
Let me start off by saying that I am a total idiot when it comes to unix. Please, if you would care to reply keep this in mind. Thank you.
I have been attempting to get my unix machine online to no avail. I have the rest of the house networked with 3 other windows machines into a cable modem. The service provides dynamic IP addresses and I have had difficulty linking the unix machine.
My first problem is on shutdown
I am having a failure
-------------------------
shutting down NSF statd FAILED
-------------------------
and now when I reboot, the GUI (gnome) does not start. The last thing I modified was the DNS Server (I believe)
Please help
I am running Red Hat 7.2
on a dell dimension xps h266
with ethernet card
Thank You

Hi All,
The scripts developed in AIX can be executed in Red Hat Linux too? Because, we are migrating OS from AIX to LINUX.
Will there be any differences in commands?
Thanks in advance!!!

refresh This action will refresh the hardware or software profiles of this
machine with Red Hat Network. This fucntion is called as
refresh(hardware) or refresh(rpmlist)
new_systemid This action is used by the RHn Backend to update the Digital
system ID of this machine with a new one.
update_packages This action will trigger rhn_check into running a package
update for a list of packages queued from the Red Hat Network.
rhn_check will use modules from the up2date client to download
the packages, solve dependencies and install the on the system.
