This report lists the problems I found with the Slackware (3.0 I think)
distribution installed at wwhcn.cnet.windsor.ns.ca by Global Linx.  

Note: these are things that were going wrong with CSuite and do not
necessarily represent problems with Slackware or the installation.  They
are configuration incompatibilities with the Distributed CSuite-1.0-Beta1
that were not referenced in the distribution documentation.

1. PROBLEM: no user 'nobody'
 + SOLUTION: RUN adduser
	- PROBLEM: no group 'nogroup'
	- + SOLUTION: added 'nogroup' to /etc/group
	- vipw, remove shell for nobody
2. PROBLEM: no mailq service
 + SOLUTION: edit /etc/services and add the line
	mailq	174/tcp
3. PROBLEM: permissions on /var/spool/mail (drwxr-xr-x)
 + SOLUTION: chmod 3775 /var/spool/mail (permissions on csuite)   
	- note: permissions on chebucto are drwxrwsrwt - why the diff?



Gerard MacNeil, P. Eng.
