Preparing for a Network Installation: Setting Up the Server
The last step for exporting the directory is incorrect. It should read:
Next, make /location/of/disk/space accessible to the installation program (for example, exporting it for NFS installations) by editing the /etc/exports file and adding the line:
/location/of/disk/space *(ro)
Finally, run the following command to make /location/of/disk/space available as read-only to each system to mount:
/sbin/service nfs reload

Establishing a Wireless Connection
The version of the Red Hat Network Administration Tool that shipped with Red Hat Linux 7.3 did not include wireless connection in the configuration wizard. An enhancement errata will be released soon with this feature.
| Reference Guide |
The Kerberos chapter of the The Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide refers to a graphical application called gkadmin on several occasions. Unfortunately, the gnome-kerberos package which shipped with Red Hat Linux 7.3 no longer contains this application.
To manage kerberos realms, use the kadmin command instead.
The sentence regarding kadmin in step 3 should read as follows:
| Using kadmin, add a host principal for the workstation on the KDC. |
Boot Process, Init, and Shutdown
The path to the keytables mentioned in the /etc/sysconfig/keyboard section is incorrect. The correct path to the keytables for x865 machines is:
| /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386 |
NFS Server Configuration Files
Under the /etc/exports section, an incorrect statement was made about wildcards and IP addresses in the NFS server configuration file. It should read:
wildcards — Where a * or ? character is used to take into account a grouping of fully qualified domain names that match a particular string of letters. Wildcards are not to be used with IP addresses; however, they may accidentally work if reverse DNS lookups fail.
Common Sendmail Configuration Changes
command to regenerate /etc/mail/sendmail.cf was inadvertently left off in the original version of the documentation. The correct command is:
| m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf |
| x86 Documentation CD |
The index-en.html file on the x86 Documentation CD refers to "translated HOWTOs; HOWTOs in HTML, text, and PDF." This statement is incorrect. The LDP HOWTOs and FAQs are not on the Red Hat Linux 7.3 Documentation CD. Several complaints were received concerning the correctness of the LDP documentation as well as the difference in procedures between the LDP documentation and the official Red Hat Linux documentation. Thus, it was decided to no longer provide the LDP documentation on the Documentation CD.
| PDF Versions |
The PDF versions of the manuals on the Documentation CD did not open properly in Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.05 running on Microsoft Windows 2000. For details about the problem, read Bugzilla bug 65753. The PDF versions on this website fix this problem. They also include some bug fixes.
