Hi,
I wanted to know that I used the option of Linuxconf command in Linux 7.1 but I am not able to run that command in Linux 7.3. How should I use it in linuxconf command in Linux 7.3.
Bye.
Manish.

Unfortunately linuxconf is not supported anymore. Red Hat said that they removed this utility because it was buggy and that now people should use all the individual commands that do the same functions. What I did was download an older RPM for linuxconf and installed that one. It seems to work fine.

Hi: If Linuxconfg is not supported in the RH7.3 release, you could try logging into Webmin. Use ANY browser on your Linux machine, and type "https://127.0.0.1:10000" into the address line of the browser. When your login screen comes up, type in 'root' and the password for root. ONLY root can really use Webmin for any setup and configuration changes, but it has all the tools you need to do the same jobs as Linuxconfg. It may look intimidating at first, but after you have used it awhile, youcome to LOVE it. Read the manual for Webmin first, and explore it. As long as you don't commit any changes, you can look and see what it will do for you. Good Luck!
