(Operation not > supported) However, it creates /var/log/syslogd.pid. But that file is > empty. What can be the problem? After making another diskless distribution, I found out that the 'Operation not supported' error comes out because of calling flock() on nfs. For example: --------------- sendmail_submit: /etc/mail/aliases.db not present, generating cannot flock(/etc/mail/aliases, fd=3, type=6, omode=4002, euid=0): Operation not supported -------------- The same message (Operation not supported) comes when creating the pid file /var/log/syslogd.pid. The /var/log filesystem is writeable. Is it possible that flock() is not implementedon nfs? :-( Laszlo
