Ok, my linuxconf doesn't seem to want to start up. I'm running linux in runlevel 3 and I SSH to my linux box and open windows through Xwin32. Opening other windows is not a problem but when I try to open linuxconf& it gives me this error.

[root@syr-24-161-XX-XX /sbin]# ./linuxconf&
[1] 1078
[root@syr-24-161-XX-XX /sbin]# Error message from remadmin :Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to syr-24-161-XX-XX.twcny.rr.com:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

I added /etc/init.d into my root path would that cause a problem since there is also a linuxconf in there? Ex.

[root@syr-24-161-XX-XX /sbin]# linuxconf
Usage: /etc/init.d/linuxconf {start|stop}

Another thing, when I shut down my linux box it always fails when shutting down xfs. Here is an excerpt from my bootlog.

Oct 24 00:00:39 syr-24-161-XX-XX xfs: xfs shutdown failed

Could these problems all be related somehow? How do I fix it, I need to run linuxconf :(
Thanks in advance

linuxconf is not installed by default on the RH 7.1 or 7.2. But it is available on the CD or RH FTP site.
Have a great day.

It's definitely installed. Everytime Linux boots it says linuxconf hooks running or something to that effect.
