Re: Update for RedHat 7.1

[Carsten Langgaard <carstenl@mips.com>]

I now tried to installing the bigendian RedHat7.1 RPMs and I noticed the
following.

/etc/localtime is lacking in glibc-2.2.4-11.2.mips.rpm (but it's contain
in the little endian version).
All the timezone information is lacking under /usr/share/zoneinfo in
glibc-common-2.2.4-11.2 (but it's in the little endian version).

I can't changes the root password, I get the following:
# passwd root
Changing password for user root
New UNIX password:
/usr/lib/cracklib_dict: magic mismatch
PWOpen: Success
