Grendel was always a fun guy as well as being technically proficient. What you may not remember is that Grendel was staying in Sri Lanka the last time I remember speaking with him. With last weekend's events in South Asia I tried writing him this week at the last email address I had (kalum at delrom dot ro) but up until now have received email delayed messages up until now. Hopefully this is just due to Internet access being down. If anyone has up to date info on Grendel's whereabouts or other lists you may have seen him participating on I'd sure like to hear about him.

If you have some message, send a NEW message to the list...don't click "Reply" and change the subject. You screw up threaded news readers when you do what you did. As to your Samba issues, the first thing to do is check the log files in /var/log/samba to see if there are any clues there. If you just installed RH9, you may be running a firewall now (unless you selected "NONE" in the install dialog). The easiest way to check that is to do "iptables -L -n" to see if anything shows up. If you are running one, try disabling it by doing "/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop" If samba works then, you'll need to run "redhat-config-securitylevel" to modify your firewall setup to permit Samba (specifically, you must allow incoming connections to TCP and UDP ports 137-139). odds are that you now are running a firewall. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-install-list mailing list > Redhat-install-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list > To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: > redhat-install-list-request at redhat.com > Subject: unsubscribe > -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Batteries not included.

Very puzzling.... I lost track of this...which version of RH is this again? There was an issue with port numbers not being picked up correctly on some versions, but I can't recall which ones they are. If that's the case, you'll need to use port 80.

Alas, I find it is a bit dated and I must revise it Real Soon Now, but look at http://www.bobcatos.com/upgrading.html The second paragraph contains the link to the description of partition duplication. As I mentioned, it is dated in that it describes only the root (/) partition and not the separate /boot part. Also, it describes handling LILO and not GRUB. I'll revise it as soon as I get one of those round things - a "tuit", I think. These days I don't try to make an alternate stanza in grub.conf for the old partition, mostly because I've not been successful in crafting one that works. When I upgrade, I just tell it to construct a new grub.conf. If the upgrade fails for some obscure (and thanfully, rare) reason, booting to your old partition will still work, since rewriting the MBR is the last thing done. Besides, I want the grub.conf in the new partition to control things, not the one in the old one. Let me know if I need to clarify anything more. > -- > Tony Dietrich > ------------- > In Brooklyn, we had such great pennant races, it made the World Series > just something that came later. > -- Walter O'Malley, Dodgers owner Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. robertmcclure at earthlink.net http://www.bobcatos.com Wise men still seek Him.

The fonts remain sort of tall and skinny. I have a feeling that Open Office may have installed some new fonts, or changed what the system things the default font set is.

Very puzzling.... I lost track of this...which version of RH is this again? There was an issue with port numbers not being picked up correctly on some versions, but I can't recall which ones they are. If that's the case, you'll need to use port 80.

I'm on a KRUD subscription http://www.tummy.com/Products/krud/ and my December issue came with kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2. It ran OK, but there was no ide-tape module so my backups were non-functional.

You might want to install one of the Fedora Core distributions (I consider Fedora Core 3 ready for prime time, now.). All of the Fedora releases include the b44 (Broadcom 4400) driver pre- built. NOTE: The b44 driver is NOT for the Broadcom wireless chips. AFAIK, you still need to run ndiswrapper and the Windows XP/2000 drivers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Errors have occurred.

Looking back over the archives and bug reports, it appears that kickstart has never supported alternate port numbers. How do you get around this? Well, if the webserver supports host headers, you might try configuring the webserver for multiple sites, and direct the URL you're using for the install to a different DocumentRoot for the installs (in Apache, this is in the "" directive block). Alternately you might want to try using an NFS or FTP install. That will prevent a conflict between your live website and the installation subsystem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "You think that's tough?

Which version of Red Hat? If you use SATA hard drives, Red Hat never supported them without an external driver disk. The Fedora Core releases do support many SATA drives. Can you give us details about your system? We need to know the motherboard make and model, CPU type and amount of memory. If you use SCSI or SATA drives, we need to know what type of controller you are trying to use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Jan 4 19:38:16 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2005 11:38:16 -0800 Subject: updating without up2date In-Reply-To: <1A2959DFF019034BBA2F06532A8DFEDB05043F84@xch-nw-01.nw.nos.boeing.com> References: <1A2959DFF019034BBA2F06532A8DFEDB05043F84@xch-nw-01.nw.nos.boeing.com> Message-ID: <41DAF0A8.5020508@vitalstream.com> Waldher, Travis R wrote: > So, how do you go about doing this? > > I can't register my systems with that service.

Try installing yum or apt-get and updating that way: http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download.ptml Note that you won't be able to update any RHEL systems that way...

Nope. "secure" simply means that all requests for connections must _originate_ from the client on a privileged port (<1024). It does not provide encryption. > Basically, I'm looking for something to encrypt the data transmission > from an NFS client to an NFS Server. Theoretically, ssh can do that but I've never tried it. As far as the normal NFS suite is concerned, no encryption mechanism is available. Remember, NFS is a file system. Encrypting and decrypting activities will slow it down quite a bit. It might even make it somewhat unusable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Microsoft is a cross between The Borg and the Ferengi. - - Unfortunately they use Borg to do their marketing and Ferengi to - - do their programming." -- Simon Slavin - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From mauen at bostream.nu Tue Jan 4 23:06:10 2005 From: mauen at bostream.nu (Emanuel Mauritzson) Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2005 23:06:10 +0000 Subject: No Hard drives has been found In-Reply-To: <41DAEF3F.2000500@vitalstream.com> References: <41DA8D46.8050004@bostream.nu> <41DAEF3F.2000500@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <41DB2162.606@bostream.nu> Rick Stevens wrote: > Emanuel Mauritzson wrote: > >> I have a problem when i trying to install Red Hat. >> >> This message occur when i trying to install >> >> "No hard drives have been found you probably need to manually choose >> drivers for the installation to succed" >> --------------------- >> And after that >> ------------------------ >> No device drivers has been loaded for your system would you like to >> load any now >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> >> then i can choose a lot of devices but to me it only looks like >> networkcards devices >> so when i push done and enter the X graph mode.

Anaconda is the Red Hat Linux installer program. My question was aimed at what disk drive controller was being used. By what you said above, I can see that you're using the SATA controller on the motherboard. Red Hat Linux 9 doesn't support that SATA controller and Intel doesn't provide any drivers that will support it under Linux. You could put in a regular IDE drive and install to it, but I don't think that's what you really want to do. If you want to use the SATA hard drive, you will need to upgrade to Fedora Core 2 or Fedora Core 3, which does have support for that SATA controller. If you use Fedora Core 3, you'll be absolutely current. You should be aware that Red Hat Linux 9 reached end-of-life in April of 2004, meaning that Red Hat doesn't support it any longer. Updates are available from the Fedora Legacy project, but it's really quite an old operating system now. Fedora Core 3 (FC3) is the latest free version of Linux that's available which has any affiliation with Red Hat (Red Hat does a lot of the development of FC3, but it is NOT a Red Hat product). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Blech!

You might want to install one of the Fedora Core distributions (I consider Fedora Core 3 ready for prime time, now.). All of the Fedora releases include the b44 (Broadcom 4400) driver pre- built. NOTE: The b44 driver is NOT for the Broadcom wireless chips. AFAIK, you still need to run ndiswrapper and the Windows XP/2000 drivers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Errors have occurred.

You absolutely need to install the kernel source RPM and configure the kernel source. Put the second CD in your drive. Make sure it's mounted and enter: rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/kernel-source* Once that's done, change directory to /usr/src/linux and edit the file "Makefile". Look at the "EXTRAVERSION=" line and delete anything after the "=". The line should read: EXTRAVERSION= Then do the following: make mrproper cp /boot/config-2.4.20-8 .config make oldconfig make dep You should then be able to build the driver: cd /usr/src/RedHat rpmbuild -bb SPECS/bcm4400.spec Again, I really think you should drop RH9 and go to Fedora Core 3. The driver is already built for you in FC3 and it's the latest version of Red Hat Linux. Red Hat 9 is almost a year old and is no longer supported except through Fedora Legacy (http://www.fedoralegacy.org). If you must continue to use RH9, make sure you download and install yum or apt-get and update your system. You're running an ancient kernel. The latest Fedora Legacy kernel for RH9 is 2.4.20-37.9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If this is the first day of the rest of my life... - - I'm in BIG trouble! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rajeshb at frontline.com.au Wed Jan 5 02:02:49 2005 From: rajeshb at frontline.com.au (Rajesh) Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2005 13:02:49 +1100 Subject: network card driver install problem (broadcom) In-Reply-To: <41DB4132.3050404@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <0I9T009YUMYLXQ@starfire.frontline.com.au> Hi Rick, Thanks again.

Turned out the 128MB it came with wasn't enough memory to open Open Office so I bought an additional 256MB. However we're still having problems. He uses gaim to chat with his friends, but when we start it up there is a 3-4 minute lag before the program will start accept text. I type into it and it just sits for 3 minutes before it works. Even after it works it will once in awhile have these 3 minute lags again. At first I thought it might be the wireless networking having trouble but the whole time gaim isn't working I can browse the web just fine. I've shut off iptables using chkconfig --del. Any ideas what's causing this? I don't know where to look. There are no special messages in dmesg.

Kenyon, Jr.) Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2005 22:05:29 -0500 Subject: how to install two new linux versions on hdb Message-ID: I have a dedicated Redhat 9 system running as my development server on a home LAN. I use it mostly with tux, apache, and samba mounts. I just added a second hard drive - 60 Gig. I would like to install Fedora Core 3 - I have the cd's and Mandrake 10.1, both on the new drive, but I can't afford to risk anything happening to the functionality of the Redhat 9 system, at least not until I can reproduce its setup. Right now the second hard drive has not even been partitioned. I'm reluctant to take any risks that might interfere with Redhat 9 on hda. All my searching has only yielded dual boot setup that presumes that one of the operating systems is windows. So far I have found nothing on setting up two or three different linux systems on one machine. My experience is limited. My original system was a pre-loaded Redhat 6.2. Later I did a "wipe-out everything" clean install of redhat 9, with mostly everything, so it could be both a server and a workstation. Do I need to create partitions before trying to install? Do I need two new boot partitions, one for each version, on hdb? Do they both need to be near the beginning of the drive? Can the fc3 installation be told to "not mess with" hda? How about Mandrake 10.1? Can it co-exist with redhat? I still want to be able to run the Redhat 9 system, shutting it down only for temporary periods while I learn FC3 and Mandrake, and configure them to perform the same function that Redhat 9 does now.

Whenever I do a dual boot I go ahead and assume that I am going to screw something up. It is just safer to me than to pray that I don't, with all the quirky things that can go wrong. This is a sysadmin talking, not a developer, but I have a healthy respect for code and all the hard labor that goes into it. Personally I prefer to burn cd's since they are mountable right back where you had them before, one of many things I dearly love about Linux. Generally, I have seen a lot of people talk about doing dual boot with various os-es that are at differrent release points. I think that is wise. Like doing FC3 and FC2, then when FC4 comes out, blowing away one of the current ones and replacing it with 4. Note I say blow away and not upgrade; I personally prefer that since I hate having a speck of anything old still hanging around. Also the myriad posts of 'trouble upgrading FCx to FCy' convince me not to go that route, personally speaking. And by that time, I have moved on, moved my data, and there is nothing lost if I screw up the installation somehow. To answer a few questions directly: >>I use it mostly with tux, apache, and samba mounts. I just added a second hard drive - 60 Gig. I assume the install on that went ok? When you go into fdisk, do you see an hda and hdb for example? These _are_ ide drives we are talking about, right? >>I would like to install Fedora Core 3 - I have the cd's and Mandrake 10.1, both on the new drive, but I can't afford to risk anything happening to the functionality of the Redhat 9 system, at least not until I can reproduce its setup. What would it take to reproduce the setup? Tux/apache/samba are one thing, do you have a lot of code that would take weeks to re-do? If it were code, I would burn a backup. If it were regular old network services and stuff like that, I would just recreate it. >>Right now the second hard drive has not even been partitioned. I'm reluctant to take any risks that might interfere with Redhat 9 on hda. Not a problem. You can partition during the install process. >>All my searching has only yielded dual boot setup that presumes that one of the operating systems is windows. So far I have found nothing on setting up two or three different linux systems on one machine. I agree, it *is* kinda weird that there isn't more out there on this very subject. I have googled myself for it and come up empty. Nonetheless, dual boots are possible. I am more concerned about triple boots since I find the degree of usefulness goes down in a hurry with each successive os I load on a drive. For one thing, having to reboot is a pain! >>My experience is limited. My original system was a pre-loaded Redhat 6.2. Later I did a "wipe-out everything" clean install of redhat 9, with mostly everything, so it could be both a server and a workstation. The absolute best way to install short of an over-the-lan install. No 'legacy' junk to give you nightmares. Also this method allows you to skip versions, rather than fight headaches all the way from FCx to FCy to FCz. >>Do I need to create partitions before trying to install? No, the installer will allow you to do so. However it is smart to google and probably draw it out on paper ahead of time, so you have a good idea of what you are doing. >>Do I need two new boot partitions, one for each version, on hdb? Do they both need to be near the beginning of the drive? Correct me if I am wrong (anyone), but I think that your second install will detect your boot loader (preferably grub) and therefore allow you to add the second os into the list. Don't worry about drive geometry or partition placement too much; it's a virtual thing and the os takes care of the physical location. DO worry about hda vs hdb and where you are putting each new os! >>Can the fc3 installation be told to "not mess with" hda? Yes. This is what I mean by doing your homework ahead of time. If you do indeed (as asked above) HAVE an hda and hdb, then one obvious thing to consider would just be doing an install onto hdb ONLY so you would ONLY have the install happenning onto that physical drive. Then you will have the following: hda Redhat 9 hdb FC3 Let's say your hdb drive is pretty big (>40 GB). You could allocate 20 or so for FC3.

This will protect your RH9 system from being overwritten. When you configure the boot loader, you should see that you will have the choice of booting from one or other Linux distribution. As previously mentioned, I have never tried this myself. The only thing that might be a problem is that when it comes to selecting which OS to boot at the boot loader prompt, I am not sure how GRUB/LILO will handle trying to boot from the second IDE disk (hdb). -----Original Message----- From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Marc M Sent: 05 January 2005 04:05 To: diogenes at xenodochy.org; Getting started with Red Hat Linux Subject: Re: how to install two new linux versions on hdb On Tue, 04 Jan 2005 22:05:29 -0500, Ralph E.

Whenever I do a dual boot I go ahead and assume that I am going to screw something up. It is just safer to me than to pray that I don't, with all the quirky things that can go wrong. This is a sysadmin talking, not a developer, but I have a healthy respect for code and all the hard labor that goes into it. Personally I prefer to burn cd's since they are mountable right back where you had them before, one of many things I dearly love about Linux. Generally, I have seen a lot of people talk about doing dual boot with various os-es that are at differrent release points. I think that is wise. Like doing FC3 and FC2, then when FC4 comes out, blowing away one of the current ones and replacing it with 4. Note I say blow away and not upgrade; I personally prefer that since I hate having a speck of anything old still hanging around. Also the myriad posts of 'trouble upgrading FCx to FCy' convince me not to go that route, personally speaking. And by that time, I have moved on, moved my data, and there is nothing lost if I screw up the installation somehow. To answer a few questions directly: >>I use it mostly with tux, apache, and samba mounts. I just added a second hard drive - 60 Gig. I assume the install on that went ok? When you go into fdisk, do you see an hda and hdb for example? These _are_ ide drives we are talking about, right? >>I would like to install Fedora Core 3 - I have the cd's and Mandrake 10.1, both on the new drive, but I can't afford to risk anything happening to the functionality of the Redhat 9 system, at least not until I can reproduce its setup. What would it take to reproduce the setup? Tux/apache/samba are one thing, do you have a lot of code that would take weeks to re-do? If it were code, I would burn a backup. If it were regular old network services and stuff like that, I would just recreate it. >>Right now the second hard drive has not even been partitioned. I'm reluctant to take any risks that might interfere with Redhat 9 on hda. Not a problem. You can partition during the install process. >>All my searching has only yielded dual boot setup that presumes that one of the operating systems is windows. So far I have found nothing on setting up two or three different linux systems on one machine. I agree, it *is* kinda weird that there isn't more out there on this very subject. I have googled myself for it and come up empty. Nonetheless, dual boots are possible. I am more concerned about triple boots since I find the degree of usefulness goes down in a hurry with each successive os I load on a drive. For one thing, having to reboot is a pain! >>My experience is limited. My original system was a pre-loaded Redhat 6.2. Later I did a "wipe-out everything" clean install of redhat 9, with mostly everything, so it could be both a server and a workstation. The absolute best way to install short of an over-the-lan install. No 'legacy' junk to give you nightmares. Also this method allows you to skip versions, rather than fight headaches all the way from FCx to FCy to FCz. >>Do I need to create partitions before trying to install? No, the installer will allow you to do so. However it is smart to google and probably draw it out on paper ahead of time, so you have a good idea of what you are doing. >>Do I need two new boot partitions, one for each version, on hdb? Do they both need to be near the beginning of the drive? Correct me if I am wrong (anyone), but I think that your second install will detect your boot loader (preferably grub) and therefore allow you to add the second os into the list. Don't worry about drive geometry or partition placement too much; it's a virtual thing and the os takes care of the physical location. DO worry about hda vs hdb and where you are putting each new os! >>Can the fc3 installation be told to "not mess with" hda? Yes. This is what I mean by doing your homework ahead of time. If you do indeed (as asked above) HAVE an hda and hdb, then one obvious thing to consider would just be doing an install onto hdb ONLY so you would ONLY have the install happenning onto that physical drive. Then you will have the following: hda Redhat 9 hdb FC3 Let's say your hdb drive is pretty big (>40 GB). You could allocate 20 or so for FC3. THEN when FC4 comes out, you could put that onto the other half of hdb. For fault tolerance purposes, set up the same thing on both hda and hdb in case you screw that up in the future too. ANother thing: make sure you don't use up every bit of space unless you really want to. Sometimes it helps to leave a few gigs in case a partition becomes hosed or full or something, so you can go back into fdisk and hopefully recreate a new one. >>How about Mandrake 10.1?

If this machine is situated on your LAN, I would try giving it a static IP address (see /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/sysconfig/network). If this machine itself connects directly to the internet, it will try to obtain an IP address from your ISP's DHCP server. It's possible that when the DHCP server gives your machine an IP address, the lease time (the length of time that your machine is allowed to keep the same IP address) is quite short (maybe just a few hours). Once your lease is up, your machine must go through the whole process of acquiring an IP address again from your ISP's (or your LAN's) DHCP server hence you experience the delay every now again whilst the DHCP client (your machine) and the DHCP server negotiate a new IP address. If you can, go for a static IP and see if this helps. The one thing that does puzzle me re: your email below is that you say that you can still browse the web even when GAIM is having trouble. If this is a DHCP problem, no network services going out from your machine would be able to work since at that time your machine would not have an IP address.

Turned out the 128MB it came with wasn't enough memory to open Open Office so I bought an additional 256MB. However we're still having problems. He uses gaim to chat with his friends, but when we start it up there is a 3-4 minute lag before the program will start accept text. I type into it and it just sits for 3 minutes before it works. Even after it works it will once in awhile have these 3 minute lags again. At first I thought it might be the wireless networking having trouble but the whole time gaim isn't working I can browse the web just fine. I've shut off iptables using chkconfig --del.

Some systems have a BIOS setting you can change which will make the SATA drive appear as standard ATA IDE drives. I wound up having to switch to this mode for the install and then I had to switch back after the install in order to get Linux to boot. I've since installed Fedora Core 3 on the same machine and it recognized the SATA drives no problem.

I had thought about the DHCP idea, and that's why I attached the info about being able to browse. To me it doesn't seem as simple as the whole network being disconnected. (And the whole network isn't disconnected since I can browse. I was wondering about transport types? tcp vs. udp? Does gaim use tcp when talking to an AOL network? I think the firewall is disabled. chkconfig --del iptables and it no longer seems to be in memory, but it didn't effect the problem. This is a brand new machine. While it's mostly working it does seem to have a few issues like this one that are perplexing compared to my other machines. I did pump up memory from 128MB to 384MB yesterday but this problem was uneffected.

The URL for information is: http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/as/ There are really 2 variants of the server product, ES3 and AS3. The primary differences are: ES3: maximumm of 8GB RAM and two processors AS3: maximum of 64GB RAM and 16 processors There are two more variants of RHEL, WS3 (workstation 3) and desktop. WS3 is essentially ES3 without a number of the server software packages. Desktop is WS3 limited to a single processor (no SMP configuration) and 4GB of RAM. > Information on installation, configuration and linux system > administration would be ideal. All of the RHEL manuals are applicable to all four variants of RHEL. Online versions of the manuals are available at: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/ Hope that all helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Time: Nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed Jan 5 18:06:26 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2005 10:06:26 -0800 Subject: No Hard drive device found at Fedora Core 3 In-Reply-To: <41DBF425.3010901@bostream.nu> References: <41DBF425.3010901@bostream.nu> Message-ID: <41DC2CA2.2090302@vitalstream.com> Emanuel Mauritzson wrote: > Having problems again, > > Red hat 9 didn?t support SATA harddriver.

If you must have RH9 and SATA, you'll have to go to your SATA controller vendor's website and see if they have a driver disk for RH9. If they do, download it to a floppy following their instructions, then install RH9 using this command at the "boot:" command linux dd When the installer asks for the driver disk, pop the floppy into the drive and hit ENTER. You'd be much better off with FC2 or FC3, both of which have native SATA support.. RH9 is a dead operating system. It reached end of life in April of 2004. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Blech!

I've never used the DVD installation mode before. I suspect that there's no symbolic link between /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom in your configuration.

It is certainly possible to install FC3 on the second hard drive. Simply boot the first FC3 CD (or DVD) and select a "New Installation". When you get to the disk partitioning screen, make SURE you specify "hdb" as the installation target. If you do manual partitioning, make doubly sure you always specify "hdb" for the new partitions. The installation is easy. There is a danger here, however. Both RH9 and FC3 by default use disk labels in their /etc/fstab files. The danger comes in the idea that you will now possibly have two partitions labeled, for example, "/usr"--one for RH9 on hda, one for FC3 on hdb. When the system boots, which one of those will get used? It is impossible to predict. I have a way around it however. Read on. Installer authors, if you're listening...how about setting up the labels with the OS version included? E.g. "/usr-fc3" Sure would make life easier for the tyros out there. Here's my suggestion: Before you install FC3, boot up RH9 and modify the /etc/fstab file to use the actual partition names instead of the labels (e.g. replace "LABEL=/" with "/dev/hda1", etc.) You can get a list of what partitions are mounted where by using the "mount" command. Once you've fixed up RH9's /etc/fstab, you can then install FC3. When FC3 is installed, reboot RH9, mount the FC3 root partition somewhere and edit FC3's /etc/fstab file to use _its_ partition names and not labels. When that's done, unmount the FC3 root partition and reboot into FC3. They should both live happily together at that point. If that isn't clear, let me know and I'll give you some examples. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - To iterate is human, to recurse, divine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed Jan 5 18:41:48 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2005 10:41:48 -0800 Subject: bugzilla In-Reply-To: <20050105082314.A852C4BDAB@ws1-1.us4.outblaze.com> References: <20050105082314.A852C4BDAB@ws1-1.us4.outblaze.com> Message-ID: <41DC34EC.1010102@vitalstream.com> sandeep shivasharan wrote: > hi, > i am using Redhat 9 and want to install n configure Bugzilla in my company. > can anybody tell me the easy steps in installing configuring Bugzilla. > i have tried with documentation on Bugzilla.org and many other sites, > but still i am stuck with the same. > > almost all the required dependencies have been installed, but may be i have > configured something wrong n i am still not able to find n correct the same. > > any help in this regards would really appreciable. It sure would be helpful if you'd include just what errors you're getting. To the readers (not just you, Sandeep): When asking for assistance, PLEASE give us as much information as you can. Include the error messages you're getting as well as the commands you're invoking, etc. You don't take your car to the mechanic and say "it's broken". You tell him what's not working or what it's doing. We need the same kind of information to help you out. Remember that the folk here (including yours truly) are volunteers. We do this as a service to our fellow Linux users. It's very difficult to draw information out of you one question at a time. It's best to post as much information as you can initially. We can plow through that and find what we need to help resolve your problem. If there's something more we need, we'll ask. Remember, gang! Detail! We need details! ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say... oh, somewhere in there. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From markknecht at gmail.com Wed Jan 5 18:28:08 2005 From: markknecht at gmail.com (Mark Knecht) Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2005 10:28:08 -0800 Subject: new machine - problems with gaim In-Reply-To: <5bdc1c8b0501051027333e78dd@mail.gmail.com> References: <5bdc1c8b05010418312e04dbf8@mail.gmail.com> <41DC2E4B.9070002@vitalstream.com> <5bdc1c8b0501051027333e78dd@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <5bdc1c8b05010510285e156d4e@mail.gmail.com> Sorry.

As it happens (in my experience anyway) FC3 is at least reasonably intelligent with labels - it will detect if another partition already uses (for example) LABEL=/ and if so it should label your / filesystem /1 instead... I've dual installed serveral times over and it has always managed this. your method is definitely safer, though. :-) Stuart -- Stuart Sears RHCE, RHCX People don't change; they only become more so.

Are you using > your ISP's DHCP or one on your local access point/switch/router? Hi, OK, so I just booted the machine up and I'm writing this email from it so networking is working. When I first boot up wireless does not come up automatically. I was in a rush to get the machine wrapped up before Christmas so I made a script in root's account that starts wireless for me. Unfortunately this requires that I log in as root and run it by hand right now. I'd like to get that cleaned up in the next week or two, but it's only a minor annoyance. Here's the script: [root at Christmas root]# ./scripts/wireless Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.1rc14 Copyright 2004 Internet Systems Consortium. All rights reserved.

[root at Christmas root]# ps aux | grep iptables root 3361 0.0 0.1 3584 660 pts/0 R 11:17 0:00 grep iptables [root at Christmas root]# So it seems to be gone. I was refering to the local firewall, not the one in my router. However, all other machines here (Windows and FC2 anyway - I don't chat on the Gentoo machine) can chat successfully, and this machine can too once it starts working. One other issue I'm seeing (maybe this in Gnome related?) is that when I've been using the account for a while and then want to log out of Gnome, I go the the red-hat icon and choose 'Log out' and I get another wait of 5 minutes. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often. What's weird is that I can open a terminal and reboot the machine, or kill X, or pretty much anything else, but the log out dialog doesn't come up for maybe 4-5 minutes. What causes this sort of stuff? Weird... I understand that it's hard to say from your location. Just looking for ideas on debugging it. I thought it was purely memory related since the machine had only 128MB, but after adding an additional 256MB yesterday I don't think that's the problem. (Or hope not....)

Oh, hmmm. No CD burner. That's a problem. The 2.6 kernel is too big to fit on a floppy. If you have a friend with a burner, then I'd ask him/her to burn copies for you as a CD or DVD install is the easiest. If that's not feasible and if your BIOS supports booting from a USB drive such as a pen drive or jump drive, there is an image you can copy to it. Go to one of the mirror sites listed here: http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html and go to the directory for your architecture, then to the "os" directory, then to the "images" directory. For example, this will take you to the right spot in the web-ster mirror site: http://mirror.web-ster.com/fedora/3/i386/os/images/ In that directory, you'll see a file called "diskboot.img". Download that file. Insert your jumpdrive and make SURE it isn't mounted (unmount it if it automounts). Then do this command: dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sda bs=512 Replace "/dev/sda" with the actual device name of your jump drive. Note that this will overwrite EVERYTHING on the jumpdrive. The jumpdrive is now a bootable installation media. Boot off it and do a network install from the mirror site. Again, if you're using the web-ster site, the correct URL for the install is: http://mirror.web-ster.com/fedora/3/i386/iso/ Don't forget to update the system ASAP by using "yum -y update" as the root user. > where can i find it on the net? and what do you advise me in my particular > situation? It's all over the place.

Firewire and USB devices are treated as though they were SCSI devices, so they show up as "/dev/sdXp" ("sd" meaning "SCSI disk"). The "X" indicates which SCSI disk the system detected it as. The first device is "sda", the second "sdb" and so on. Different kernels will scan the USB, firewire and SCSI buses in different orders, so the name may vary. The "p" above indicates the _partition_ number on the drive. So, "/dev/sda" refers to the ENTIRE drive, while "/dev/sda1" refers to the first partition on the drive, just like disks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - To err is human, to moo bovine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rabend at linkline.com Wed Jan 5 23:50:04 2005 From: rabend at linkline.com (Bob) Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2005 15:50:04 -0800 Subject: To Guillermo Silva In-Reply-To: <20050105114744.91761.qmail@web30102.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: I have not solved it yet, but I willo let you know when I do. _____ From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of aitelmaati Badre Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 3:48 AM To: redhat-install-list at redhat.com Subject: To Guillermo Silva Hi , I saw your posting described in the link https://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-install-list/2004-June/msg00277.html, and I'm facing exactly the same problem.

The kernel that comes with the distro anyway) has any problems with StarOffice 5.2. I am currently on FC2 with kernel 2.6.6 because FC2 with kernel 2.6.8 clobbered StarOffice 5.2. Wouldn't run! I had to regress to kernel 2.6.6 to get StarOffice 5.2 working. Why worry with SO 5.2 you might ask. The simple answer is "I like it in preference to OO" Also, I have a whole heap of stuff written in SO 5.2 and want to stay compatible with some other users of SO 5.2 I have been sitting on the FC3 CDs for some time now but want to upgrade to Evolution 2 so now is probably the right time, BUT... not if SO 5.2 gets clobbered in the process.

Some new mommyboards seem to have one SATA controller (meant for 2 SATA hard drives) and one standard PATA controller meant for IDE CDROMS & DVD drives (although I've installed hard drives on it anyhow).

It'll kill off any shell not being run by root. A "kill -9" is rather abrupt, however. A normal "kill" (sending a "SIGTERM") is a better method, as it will allow the programs to exit cleanly, while the "-9" (SIGKILL) just pulls the rug out from under them. Besides, NFS clients don't log into an NFS server. They mount the exported filesystems. There is no "logging in" or running of shells involved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Very funny, Scotty.

For the umpteenth time, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (in any of its flavors, ES, AS, WS or desktop) does NOT support SATA drives. If your SATA controller maker supplies an RHEL driver, fine. If not, you're outa luck. Go to Fedora Core 2 or 3 for native SATA support. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Jimmie crack corn and I don't care...what kind of lousy attitude - - is THAT to have, huh? -- Dennis Miller - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Thu Jan 6 19:01:29 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Thu, 06 Jan 2005 11:01:29 -0800 Subject: No Hard drive device found at Fedora Core 3 In-Reply-To: <1104997701.10773.37.camel@manhattan.ruffe.edu> References: <41DBF425.3010901@bostream.nu> <41DC2CA2.2090302@vitalstream.com> <1104997701.10773.37.camel@manhattan.ruffe.edu> Message-ID: <41DD8B09.2030103@vitalstream.com> mylar wrote: > On Wed, 2005-01-05 at 13:06, Rick Stevens wrote: > >>Emanuel Mauritzson wrote: >> >>>Having problems again, >>> >>>Red hat 9 didn??t support SATA harddriver.

Is SATA going to be the wave of the very near > future ? Not necessarily. SATA is faster than any parallel IDE interface. It is almost, but not quite, as fast as fast, wide SCSI (SCSI-3). It's easier to cable up than SCSI and the cables can be longer. However, the drives currently are more expensive than IDE, but generally less than equivalent SCSI drives. IDE is SCSI, stripped-down to save money. ATA is essentially SCSI commands sent over IDE interfaces. SATA is a higher performance form of ATA. Personally, except for server systems, I see very little benefit of SATA over IDE. And since you can only have two SATA drives per controller (just like IDE), I don't think it's that great for servers, either. For most servers, you want something more beefy than a software RAID 1, more like a hardware RAID 4, RAID 5, or RAID 10 and they all still require SCSI. I find it funny that the hard drive makers are parallelling the MSDOS/Windows fiasco of a development cycle. When Microsoft essentially stole CP/M to create MSDOS, network code was already in the product (I know...I was one of the authors). Microsoft ripped it out, and now has spent the last 15 years trying to put back in stable network code. The IDE/ATA/SATA makers are attempting to get back to the speeds and flexibility that SCSI had 15 years ago and they abandoned.

I don't use SO anymore, but OO can save in SO format so it is backwards compatible with SO. At least I've had no problems working with old SO files. As to SO's compatibility with 2.6 kernels...that I don't know. I don't have SO installed on any FC2 or 3 systems. I still have it installed on my old FC1 system, but that's a 2.4 kernel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - The Theory of Rapitivity: E=MC Hammer - - -- Glenn Marcus (via TopFive.com) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From markknecht at gmail.com Wed Jan 5 18:37:37 2005 From: markknecht at gmail.com (Mark Knecht) Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2005 10:37:37 -0800 Subject: new machine - problems with gaim In-Reply-To: <41DC2E4B.9070002@vitalstream.com> References: <5bdc1c8b05010418312e04dbf8@mail.gmail.com> <41DC2E4B.9070002@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <5bdc1c8b050105103768d7b514@mail.gmail.com> On Wed, 05 Jan 2005 10:13:31 -0800, Rick Stevens wrote: > Mark Knecht wrote: > > In /var/log/messages I do see some strangeness: > > > > Jan 4 18:26:04 Christmas dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on sit0 to > > 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 19 > > Jan 4 18:26:04 Christmas dhclient: send_packet: Network is down > > Jan 4 18:26:23 Christmas dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on sit0 to > > 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 > > Jan 4 18:26:23 Christmas dhclient: send_packet: Network is down > > Jan 4 18:26:27 Christmas dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received. > > Jan 4 18:26:27 Christmas dhclient: No working leases in persistent > > database - sleeping. > > Jan 4 18:28:47 Christmas su(pam_unix)[3284]: session opened for user > > root by matt(uid=500) > > Jan 4 18:30:04 Christmas dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on sit0 to > > 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 > > Jan 4 18:30:04 Christmas dhclient: send_packet: Network is down > > Jan 4 18:30:12 Christmas dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to > > 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 > > Jan 4 18:30:12 Christmas dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on sit0 to > > 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 18 > > Jan 4 18:30:12 Christmas dhclient: send_packet: Network is down > > > > This sort of stuff is repeating a lot. > > It sure looks like the DHCP server is cycling a lot.

Close enough for most practical purposes but not 100%, which I need. > As to SO's compatibility with 2.6 kernels...that I don't know. I don't > have SO installed on any FC2 or 3 systems. I still have it installed > on my old FC1 system, but that's a 2.4 kernel. SO and the 2.6 kernels do not co-habit gracefully. In fact, I am not at all impressed with the 2.6 kernels and their compatibility and bug reports to the kernel folk are treated as though one is a complete idiot and comprehensively ignored. My bug reports to the kernel folk about 2.6 kernels and USB related problems resulted in me being told I didn't know what I was talking about, there were no USB problems, just incompatible hardware/bios, even though I and a lot of others suffered USB problems. As the 2.6 kernels have progressed through the various releases some bugs have been fixed and others introduced. 2.6 kernels might work just fine on the kernel developer's machines but in my humble opinion that is not good enough. New kernels should never be released until they have been comprehensively tested on the widest possible amount of hardware and users. Interestingly, there are no 2.6 kernels in the enterprise versions of RedHat I believe. Now that I have got that out of my system, the next question is, If I upgrade to FC3 and SO simply fails to load and run (a la 2.6.8 kernel), can I go back to an earlier kernel, say 2.6.6 or even earlier (2.4 for example) under FC3? And another question if I may, can Evolution 2 be installed under FC2 without major dependency problems do you know offhand? I know I can try all this and see but I would like to know what other's experience has been before I burn my bridges. If no one else has any experience of these questions then I have been known to jump blindfolded :-) Rick, all the best for the New Year, -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are three kinds of people: men, women, and unix. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From gnichols at tpg.com.au Fri Jan 7 04:18:29 2005 From: gnichols at tpg.com.au (Graeme Nichols) Date: Fri, 07 Jan 2005 15:18:29 +1100 Subject: USB drives mount question In-Reply-To: <41DC7F0D.7070704@vitalstream.com> References: <1104959889.3769.196.camel@KENS02L> <41DC7F0D.7070704@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <1105071509.4113.31.camel@barney.localdomain> On Thu, 2005-01-06 at 10:58, Rick Stevens wrote: > Ken Scott wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have several USB flash drives and a USB harddrive.

It also depends on the sequence in which you plugged them in and whether or not they were plugged in when you booted the machine. At least my machine, a Medion 8083 with a P4 processor running FC2, kernel 2.6.6 varies as I've said as did my previous machine, an Athlon 650Mhz running RH8. The partition number SHOULD always be the same regardless of which disk number it is recognised as. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Profanity is the one language all programmers know best. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From John.Rushe at axa-tech.com Fri Jan 7 09:08:30 2005 From: John.Rushe at axa-tech.com (RUSHE John (AXA-TECH-UK)) Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2005 09:08:30 -0000 Subject: FC3 and StarOffice 5.2 Message-ID: Interestingly, there are no 2.6 kernels in the enterprise versions of RedHat I believe.

Close enough for most practical purposes but not 100%, which I need. > As to SO's compatibility with 2.6 kernels...that I don't know. I don't > have SO installed on any FC2 or 3 systems. I still have it installed > on my old FC1 system, but that's a 2.4 kernel. SO and the 2.6 kernels do not co-habit gracefully. In fact, I am not at all impressed with the 2.6 kernels and their compatibility and bug reports to the kernel folk are treated as though one is a complete idiot and comprehensively ignored. My bug reports to the kernel folk about 2.6 kernels and USB related problems resulted in me being told I didn't know what I was talking about, there were no USB problems, just incompatible hardware/bios, even though I and a lot of others suffered USB problems. As the 2.6 kernels have progressed through the various releases some bugs have been fixed and others introduced. 2.6 kernels might work just fine on the kernel developer's machines but in my humble opinion that is not good enough. New kernels should never be released until they have been comprehensively tested on the widest possible amount of hardware and users. Interestingly, there are no 2.6 kernels in the enterprise versions of RedHat I believe. Now that I have got that out of my system, the next question is, If I upgrade to FC3 and SO simply fails to load and run (a la 2.6.8 kernel), can I go back to an earlier kernel, say 2.6.6 or even earlier (2.4 for example) under FC3? And another question if I may, can Evolution 2 be installed under FC2 without major dependency problems do you know offhand? I know I can try all this and see but I would like to know what other's experience has been before I burn my bridges. If no one else has any experience of these questions then I have been known to jump blindfolded :-) Rick, all the best for the New Year, -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are three kinds of people: men, women, and unix. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-install-list mailing list Redhat-install-list at redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: redhat-install-list-request at redhat.com Subject: unsubscribe ******************************************************************* This email originates from AXA Technology Services UK Limited (reg. no. 1854856) which has its registered office at 107 Cheapside, London EC2V 6DU, England.

For the records the changes to /etc/resolve are caused by the PEERDNS-yes line. Changing that to no fixes the issue. I am still not able to figure out KEY=open syntax in my ifcfg-wlan0 file. No matter what I've tried so far it always comes up in Security mode:Restricted, which is probably best for most people anyway. To get around this problem I added iwconfig wlan0 key open to /etc/rc.local and the system comes up correctly at boot. I tried chatting for a second with some robot and it seemed to work but will require the 12 year old's stamp of aproval to be sure. If anyone knows the syntax for putting key=open into ifcfg-wlan0 I'd sure appreciate a note.

I am a fairly new Linux user.. I have some experience, but assume I know almost nothing... I have set up and used a couple of different distros over the past 2 years or so, but I'm pretty much still a newbie. Anyway... I have a Dell Optiplex GX1 that I'm trying to set up. I originally had Mandrake on it, I forget which version (if not the latest than just 1 or 2 versions back). Problem was, networking was not working. When it booted the eth0 initialization would fail and it said something about a possible cable problem. Well, the machine was set up as a dual-boot with Windows 2000, so I booted to Windows and networking was working just fine, so I know the cable is fine. I decided that maybe installing the latest RedHat would take care of it. So, I installed 9.2, installing everything (as I always do because I frankly don't know what dependencies I might screw up if I'm selective!). The install went smoothly, it identified the network adapter correctly (an onboard 3Com, 3C905 I believe), no errors, seemed to be OK. But, when I booted, the same problem as with Mandrake happened. I got into a GUI (I assume it's KDE, I'm not really sure, it's all RedHat-branded) and selected the Networking option from the System Settings menu. I selected the device (which it says is inactive, logically) and clicked Edit. I noticed on the Hardware Device tab the Bind to MAC Address option. Now, I'm not sure if this is important or not, but I noticed there was a Probe button, so I clicked it. It came up with a MAC address, so my conclusion is that the OS is indeed talking to the network adapter properly. So, at this point I'm at the end of my knowledge. Any ideas on what could look like a cable failure to the OS but actually NOT be? The only remotely unusual thing I can think of is that we use Cat6 cabling here. Any chance that's an issue in some way I can't think of? Also, it is set up for DHCP. DHCP is active on the network, as evidenced by the fact that I can plug my laptop into the network using the SAME cable as this PC and I pull a DHCP lease and have access to the network. I'm at a loss and would appreciate any help you can give. Thank you!

You never could run FC2 with a 2.4 kernel...it didn't come with one, it came with a 2.6 kernel (2.6.8-1.521). You didn't say how you installed the new kernel, but that error is normally caused because you didn't build a new initrd or didn't specify it in your /boot/grub/grub.conf file.

The latest free Red Hatish Linux is Fedora Core 3.

Interestingly, there are no 2.6 kernels in the enterprise > versions of RedHat I believe. That's because EL is STILL based on Red Hat Linux 7.2. EL4 will be based on Fedora Core 2 with a 2.6 kernel. As to the USB compatibility issues, newer 2.6 kernels (such as the latest for FC2 and FC3) are far more stable with USB than predecessors. Also keep in mind that 2.6 kernels depend on udev and a new model of the hotplug software. There were teething problems and many people don't quite grok udev, device mapper and hotplug yet. > Now that I have got that out of my system, the next question is, If I > upgrade to FC3 and SO simply fails to load and run (a la 2.6.8 kernel), > can I go back to an earlier kernel, say 2.6.6 or even earlier (2.4 for > example) under FC3?

I *believe* it's running on Unix, but it also could be Novell. We've used both at one time or another, but I don't recall us ever using Microsoft for DHCP. > There is no Red Hat Linux 9.2.

Your right, I didn't realize it, it says Red Hat Linux relrase 9 (Shrike) right there at the logon prompt. My bad. Dunno where I got the idea it was 9.2 from. Oh, before I forget... another poster asked me for the output of ifup when set for DHCP... I'm a bit hesitant to try it now only because I've got it working as a static setup, and I have some actual work to get done (trying to test a webapp on *nix for the first time), so I may give that a shot tomorrow. I did in fact try ifup at one point, and to the best of my recollection it just gave me the "cable problem?" message. Not sure if there was a switch to turn on more verbose messages or not. I didn't want that poster to think I ignored his suggestion, just putting it off is all :) Thanks all!

If you're talking about the GUI login, that's part of the xdm or gdm display manager, not xterm. You need to have xdm or gdm on the remote Linux system to send its display to your local X server. This is done by uncommenting the "RemoteGreeter" line and setting it to "gdmgreeter": RemoteGreeter=/usr/bin/gdmgreeter on the Linux machine. After that, you'll need to restart X on the Linux machine. Once that's done, use Exceed to start an xdmcp session to the Linux box. The Linux machine should see the start request and put up the GUI login on your Exceed screen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "I understand Windows 2000 has a Y2K problem." - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From gnichols at tpg.com.au Fri Jan 7 23:26:38 2005 From: gnichols at tpg.com.au (Graeme Nichols) Date: Sat, 08 Jan 2005 10:26:38 +1100 Subject: FC3 and StarOffice 5.2 In-Reply-To: <41DEE2C6.5070401@vitalstream.com> References: <1104984896.3828.24.camel@barney.localdomain> <41DD9171.9060301@vitalstream.com> <1105071047.4113.23.camel@barney.localdomain> <41DEE2C6.5070401@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <1105140397.3764.12.camel@barney.localdomain> On Sat, 2005-01-08 at 06:28, Rick Stevens wrote: > Graeme Nichols wrote: > > Hello Rick, > > That's because EL is STILL based on Red Hat Linux 7.2.

OK. Thank you. (Embarrased blush!) I was aware of the modutils etc. stuff being totally different but, due to an overheating of the brain, I wasn't thinking clearly when I mentioned going back to 2.4 kernels. However, the main thing is that I can go back to any 2.6 kernel version. That's good.

I don't think that's recommended. There are a lot of other things on your system that are 2.4-specific, which would have to be replaced with 2.6-specific stuff.

Add new HD to the system with (40 GB for Win2K and 40 GB for RH9) Windoze may recognize the new drive an offer to partition it for you. It would probably be better to boot to Linux the first time, and then use fdisk /dev/hdb # assuming you put it on the primary controller as # slave I don't think it matters which one you put first, but partition it only for the Linux partition. Leave the rest of the drive as free space.

(If it doesn't, I can't help you.) Don't let it take over the Linux partition. > 3. My system should still boot from existing HD. No problem. > Sorry for lengthy description of my requirement.

To find out which RPM it belongs to, do rpm -qf /usr/local/sbin/fix_netstorage_route Then to get an overview of it, do rpm -qi Now that I think about it, since it's in /usr/local/sbin, it's probably not from an RPM. But it is a cron job, so you can, as root crontab -l and see if it's listed there. Before you remove it, you may want to see if there's a man page for it: man fix_netstorage_route If you determine you have no use for it, you can crontab -e to edit root's crontab and at least comment it out by putting a "#" at the beginning of the line. I'd do that until I knew I hadn't broken something. Hint: When doing things like "crontab -e", it runs "vi" by default. If you'd rather have it run some other editor (I prefer Emacs, myself), you can (before you run "crontab -e" export EDITOR=emacs or whatever your preferred is. > Jan 8 00:20:00 BAS-RedHat9-NOCP CROND[568]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/mrtg > /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg) That is the Multiple Router Traffic Grapher. You're probably not interested in it unless you are a networking guru. If it is run from crontab, you can turn it off as above. But, if not, look in /etc/rc.d/init.d for either mrtg or mrtgd. Let's suppose it's the former. You can turn it off with service mrtg stop And to keep it from coming up again the next time you boot chkconfig mrtg off And assuming it is part of the mrtg RPM, you can tear it off your system with rpm -e mrtg Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. robertmcclure at earthlink.net http://www.bobcatos.com Wise men still seek Him.

Fedora Core 1 is a 2.4 kernel-based release. Yes, you can use a 2.6 kernel on it, but you must install the 2.6-compatible modutils, fsutils and several other things. Once you go to kernel 2.6, you can't really go back to a 2.4 kernel easily. You'd be much better off simply installing FC2 or FC3.

I'm not sure I'm answering the question you're asking, but, my experience is if you are really 'sharing' the printer (samba), then to 'connect' to it, you have to put the whole share name: //hostname/printername and then it should work, unless you are using Windows XP Home, which isn't something that should be put in anyone's home, unless networking isn't needed... My opinion only.

Depends on how you're exporting the queue. There are two methods really: the old Line Printer Daemon (lpd) on TCP/UDP port 515 or the new Internet Printing Protocol (ipp) on TCP/UDP port 631. IPP is the preferred method now. You must make sure that you have your firewall open for whichever protocol you're using. Once you've done that, go to the clients and either reboot them or restart the print queues. If they're a Red Hatish linux, use printconf for them and check the "Browsed Queues" section. You should see the queues from the server machine there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Do you know how to save five drowning lawyers?

She wants to run Linux so of course she got me involved. We have FC2 installed and the wired interface working so I am writing this email from her new box. lspci shows the following device: 01:02.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01) This is another DWL-520 like in my son's FC2 machine, but it's a different controller. His 520 uses a Realtek 802.11b controller. So much for getting a card by model number... Anyway, kudzu recognized the controller and installed a driver. When it's modprobed I see the following in dmesg. orinoco.c 0.13e (David Gibson and others) orinoco_pci.c 0.13e (David Gibson & Jean Tourrilh es ) Detected Orinoco/Prism2 PCI device at 0000:01:02.0, mem:0xF2000000 to 0xF2000FFF -> 0x2201e000, irq:10 Reset done...................................................................... ................................................................................ ................................................................................ ......................; Clear Reset..................................................................... ................................................................................ ................................................................................ ................................................................................ ................................................................................ ................................................................................ ....................................; pci_cor : reg = 0x0 - 18197 - 17FA3 divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1 hermes @ MEM 0x2201e000: Timeout waiting for card to reset (reg=0x0000)! eth1: failed to initialize firmware (err = -110) divert: freeing divert_blk for eth1 eth1: Failed to register net device orinoco_pci: probe of 0000:01:02.0 failed with error -110 [root at localhost root]# Not good. I tried switching to ndiswrapper but the machine hangs totally and I have to pull the power plug when I modprobe that driver, so no ndiswrapper right now. Either way I've copied the config script from my son's machine to this machine and changed the IP address and hardware address to match the card, but I don't think I'm getting that far. My question is what is this driver that's getting installed? Is this a native Linux driver? Does anyone know what it's complaining about here? Thanks in advance.

This looks similar to the known bug with firefox and IvP6, where firefox tries to use the sit0/IvP6 interface in preference to eth0, even if sit0 isn't configured or in use. It then sits there waiting for the interface to time out before falling back to the eth0 interface. I've actually removed the sit0 scripts from my system atm. No problems so far. -- Tony Dietrich ------------- Thank you for observing all safety precautions.

I hope you get an answer. The machine I built yesterday is an FC2 machine but I'd rebuild it with FC3 if it meant I could get wireless running. I'm about ready to rebuild the kernel with larger stack sizes and try again with ndiswrapper. I'm getting desparate. I did find a lot of people having problems similar to my Prism problems in the Fedora forums but almost no one had answers.

There's several issues with Prism and/or Intersil chipsets. The problem Mark's running into is very common (I've run into it myself with an old D-Link DWL-120 USB->wireless card) and as far as I know, is only addressable with ndiswrapper and the Windows drivers on a 16K stack. The problem has to do with loading new firmware into the radio of the card. It's not reliable under the various 2.6 drivers and only marginally better under ndiswrapper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If at first you don't succeed, quit.

I'd say that I'll go back to the store and buy something else, but how can I have any confidence in what I buy? There was no way to tell the difference between the two revisions of this card while looking at the box. If I buy Netgear or any other reasonably priced brand then I'm subjected to the same risks and more wasted time. I'm far less worried about the money than the time. Or are you saying that my chances of success are >80% if I build a new kernel and set stack sizes to 16K? ndiswrapper would be acceptable since I'm using that on my son's FC2 machine also. If I should build a new kernel then I'd like to start with one of the config files in the configs directory. What would be the right way to move one of those files to /usr/src/linux? (I.e. - what do I name it when I move it and what commands do I have to run before starting my own extra configuration step?)

I'll look in the page you pointed me to a minute ago. However, and this has happened to me pretty much every time I've installed FC, is that I choose the Desktop installation to build the machine and it installs NO tools. I don't get gcc, automake, autoconf, etc., so I cannot build source and have to struggle through RPM to try and get the stuff I need. That's the state I'm in right now and trying to get beyond. It would be great if there was some macro command that said 'update this machine and give me the toolset required to build code', but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that AFAICT.

I don't have to go back and rebuild the system from scratch to get this stuff. Once I hear about yum, which seems to be what redhat-update is using. Can I use yum to get this handled more painlessly?

Actually source is a link to build in the same directory. Assumign that you want to you could either copy build to usr/src/linux-2.6.9-blah and then create a link to it using ln -s linux-2.6.9-blah linux or you could, I suppose, leave it where it is and create the link to there. The later worries me a bit as /lib/modules gets played with sometimes and you might lose config options that you make by hand. It's all up to you.

Here's the fstab entries: /dev/hdd /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 It appears that FC3 has moved the mount points for these devices away from /mount to /media? Is this an important direction all of Linux is taking or just some random thought someone out there had about confusing people for no good reason? The kernel is very new: [mark at dragonfly 2.6.10-1.737_FC3smp]$ uname -r 2.6.10-1.737_FC3smp I'm not sure what to do next and hoping this is so basic someone can tell me what to do in about 3 seconds.

I have setup NIS+ for all the Redhat Linux machines here. The NIS+ server is a Solaris machine. There is no problem to remote login to all the Linux machines with NIS+ account. But if I try to login any NIS+ account from Linux machine console, it complained about the account and password. I even tried to create a local account with same account name, but it complained that the account is existing. Is there anyway I can make it work so we can login from Linux console with NIS+ account?

Bummer! You need rpmbuild installed ("yum install rpmbuild"). If you want to create something like the old "kernel-source*" RPMs, then get rpmbuild and the kernel source RPM and: rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.10-1.737_FC3.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec cd BUILD/kernel* mv linux-2.6 /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-1.737_FC3 cd /usr/src rm -f linux;rm -f linux-2.6 ln -s linux-2.6.10-1.737_FC3 linux ln -s linux-2.6.10-1.737_FC3 linux-2.6 Note that the target is "i686" or "i386", not "x86" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If your broker is so damned smart...why is he still working? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri Jan 14 02:15:44 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2005 18:15:44 -0800 Subject: development packages In-Reply-To: <5bdc1c8b0501121715553be236@mail.gmail.com> References: <5bdc1c8b05011217003c2feca7@mail.gmail.com> <000301c4f90c$3cdd5b00$4601a8c0@C515816A> <5bdc1c8b0501121715553be236@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <41E72B50.6090706@vitalstream.com> Mark Knecht wrote: > On Wed, 12 Jan 2005 19:07:17 -0600, Otto Haliburton > wrote: > >>Mark, I don't know what you are doing, but I definitely did not experience >>what you are going through when I installed fc2 or fc3.

That's why you should either install everything or do a "custom" install. RH's concept of a "desktop" machine is pretty much a client machine...no development tools of any kind. > It would be great if there was some macro command that said 'update > this machine and give me the toolset required to build code', but > there doesn't seem to be a way to do that AFAICT. "custom" install, then make sure you include "development tools". By the way, Mark, you'll need to tweak the kernel to make ndiswrapper work with either the 724 or later kernels. You must edit kernel/sched.c and find the "task_nice" function. After the last "}", you must add a "EXPORT_SYMBOL(task_nice);" line. You must then rebuild and replace the kernel. Why the kernel guys don't export this symbol anymore is a good question. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - LOOK OUT!!!

After you're certain that nothing is broken, you can remove it. For instance when I upgraded from kernel-2.6.8-1.521 to kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2, my IDE tape drive no longer worked. So I reverted to the older kernel. > Is it safe to remove it, Yes, if it's not the currently running kernel. > and how do I do that. As root, look to see what kernels you have. rpm -q kernel Verify you are running the later kernel: uname -r Then remove the old kernel by including the version.

I'm unclear as to what your concern is for the Windows clients. The server has no effect on their security if it's a pure client-server model. It's up to the client to enforce its own security. If you're worried about the security of the server itself, ANYTHING is better than Windows. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If this is the first day of the rest of my life... - - I'm in BIG trouble! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri Jan 14 19:27:44 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2005 11:27:44 -0800 Subject: Still can't get the sound working In-Reply-To: <20050114190759.80621.qmail@web51003.mail.yahoo.com> References: <20050114190759.80621.qmail@web51003.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <41E81D30.4030202@vitalstream.com> Asmir Murselovic wrote: > Sorry to bother you guys, but I'm new to linux. > Can you tell me how to run amix or gmix? To run gmix and you are running the Gnome desktop, right-click on the speaker icon at the bottom of the screen and select "Open Volume Control". When the gmix window opens, make sure all of the sliders for PCM, Line, CD, Video, Phone, Aux, Capture and any other possible input sources are all the way up. To run amix, type in "aumix" at a command line. There are other mixers you can use at the command line: amixer (clunky) alsamixer (easier to use) Have fun. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "The bogosity meter just pegged." - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From askomursel at yahoo.com Fri Jan 14 19:53:32 2005 From: askomursel at yahoo.com (Asmir Murselovic) Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2005 11:53:32 -0800 (PST) Subject: Still can't get the sound working In-Reply-To: <41E81D30.4030202@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <20050114195332.98070.qmail@web51003.mail.yahoo.com> They're all up, but still no sound. --- Rick Stevens wrote: > Asmir Murselovic wrote: > > Sorry to bother you guys, but I'm new to linux. > > Can you tell me how to run amix or gmix? > > To run gmix and you are running the Gnome desktop, > right-click on the > speaker icon at the bottom of the screen and select > "Open Volume > Control".

True, but the correct choice of server CAN affect the security of the clients, if the server configuration and/or the availability of security-related packages is wrong. Assuming the server is the only window for its clients to the 'Net, and it is essential to permit such access, then virus-checkers, firewalls (iptables or whatever) and other apps like squid running on the server can make securing client machines easier for the on-site tech, since he can relax a little about these issues on the clients. (OK, I know a few desktop users that have little enough knowledge to be dangerous even then!) So I interpret this question as 'Which OS running in a server config has the correct mix of packages available to make it simple for me to build a machine that can help me secure my LAN from network threats, given that I have a whole bunch of vulnerable machines attached to the net used by people who couldn't care in the slightest whether they do something that might comprimise their system.' Answer. Dunno. Linux can do this. I worked with MacOS for about 3 days once. Didn't like it. Personal choice. So I can't do a comparison. I did do some Googling, since this question interested me for some reason, but couldn't see any site that addressed this issue impartially. The all seemed to be written by people that had an axe to grind for one OS or the other. > If you're worried about the security of the server itself, ANYTHING is > better than Windows.

Click on this tab and there are so little buttons. Clear all of those buttons and then exit. I was messing around with that and I activated all of the buttons and lost my sound and it returned when I cleared them all. You may not have to clear them all, but you can test it to see which ones can be activated. This may not be your problem. You might need to check the control panel to see if you have sound enabled also. And I still can't play cd's, but I'm working on that.

I'ts not a nusic tape but an instructional tape and by having it on the CD I could go directly to the parts I wanted if I broke it down into different segments (or so I think). So, I pulgged my tape player into my computer and started - sound is coming out of my computers speakers but I can't get any programs to record what I'm hearind (I'm running Red Hat 9 and trying to use "Sound Recorder" as it's the only one I could find). Then I started thinking about the process - once I have the files on my hard drive I'm not sure what to do from there. I like using Gtoaster to make a CD but will I be able to make an Audio CD with Gtoaster that will play as I want it?

Check out the manual for KRes, it points you towards experimenting with the aRtS bundle, which KRec acts as a front-end for. It allows recording from any line-input. Then either manually stop/start the tape, and create a new file for each section, or record the whole tape as a single file, then use one of the available editors to split that file up into various sections. Convert the files to the right format, then run k3b, which allows you to assemble audio tracks and burn them onto CD, complete with track info. If you use mp3 format, you can even run one of the id3 tagging programs to add tags to each track so your CD player can pick up titles and display them ie 'Chapter 1' -- Tony Dietrich ------------- I was making donuts and now I'm on a bus!

As I'm getting sound out of my computer speakers I would expect to get something recorded. Once you have an MP3 file how do you convert it to an audio CD file to record on to an Audio type CD so I can play it in my non MP3 car CD player? Yes I know I'm getting ahead of my self as I can't even get to the MP3 part yet.

I'm taking it that as most of these programs start with a "K" they are not GNOME so they are probably not loaded on my machine. Can you get more specific?

You may wish to edit them slightly too to remove any long gaps between tracks. you can use a graphical app if you wish to burn the CD but cdrecord -v dev=x,x,x -audio -pad directory/*.wav will do this for you. Obviously you need to use the correct device instead of x,x,x (cdrecord -scanbus will tell you this).

If so you might see what sound driver was loaded there to see if the 2.6 version of the same one is being use in the latest 2.6.10-1.9 one. Was your previous kernel a 2.4.x or an earlier 2.6.x kernel? If 2.4 there are a number of other differences which might be the culprit. Post some before/after details and others can better assist you with the problem.

There seems to be an issue with any 2.6.10 kernel and sound, depending on which sound card you have. If you check the archives for the fedora-list (https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/), you should see several threads involving that. One fix was to switch some special input from digital to analog mode (or vice versa), but I can't recall which card that was for. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - LOOK OUT!!!

After a few installs and HP support suggesting that /boot, and / need to be the first partitions, I looked at the advanced settings for the "Boot loader". Son-of-a-Gun!!! We have have this system ( and others ), connected to an EVA5000 via fibre channel. It turns out that for whatever reason RH wanted to put Grub on the the EVA connection. Funny thing is that the EVA was not configured to "present" any disks to this system, the system could only "see" the EVA controllers. Since the installer never gave me a choice to put Grub locally, un-plugging the HBA's forced the installer to put grub on the local disk. Arg. After that everthing installed and booted fine.

I've never heard of that specific problem, but RH9 did have some known printing issues. BTW, you didn't say if you were using CUPS or LPRng. > I heard that for the RH enterprise, there was a patch for this problem. Entirely possible, although RHEL is based on RH7.2. Have you checked the update base at Fedora Legacy for CUPS and/or LPRng updates (depending on which you're using)? > I have this problem with all my RH9 installations. That wouldn't surprise me. I would highly recommend you go to http://www.fedoralegacy.org and do a couple of things. First, install yum or apt-get from that site on your RH9 machines, then update your systems: # yum update cups* or # yum update lprng* -or- # apt-get -u update cups or # apt-get -u update lprng Remember that RH9 is dead (as of April of last year) and the only updates you can get will be from the Fedora Legacy group. You should also think about updating to Fedora Core 2 or 3 at some point.

You have to tell the machine to boot to run level 3 instead of 5. Then, if you want X, you do a "startx". Edit /etc/inittab and change the line: id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault: There is no way to prevent the GUI login if you boot to run level 5 as all of the default window managers (gdm, kdm, xdm) first put up a login screen. The only way around it is to either set up autologin or log in, "startx", then choose a window manager from there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Cuteness can be overcome through sufficient bastardry - - --Mark 'Kamikaze' Hughes - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Thu Jan 20 19:37:18 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2005 11:37:18 -0800 Subject: Intel 82801DB AC'97 Audio Controler Issue In-Reply-To: <20050120021059.16069.qmail@web51006.mail.yahoo.com> References: <20050120021059.16069.qmail@web51006.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <41F0086E.4070102@vitalstream.com> Asmir Murselovic wrote: > After a week of trying to fix this problem I'm still > wondering if anyone managed to get around or fix this > sound problem? > I have Intel 82801DB (ICH4) AC'97 audio controler, > which doesn't work under 2.6.10-1.9_FC2.i686 kernel, > but works under 2.6.5-1.358/kernel.

So, is there a way I can get it to serve up XDMCP without having to run startx or init 5? I've experienced (at least Redhat, probably others) machines not booting before if X gets screwed up and can't boot to the graphical display. I just want to avoid that without loosing the ability to use XDMCP.

I'll post it on fedora-list too, thanks for the suggestion. Now, I've installed the alsa newest driver which was recommended by ALSA's website. I installed it in /usr/include/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.5rc1 directory, as instructed by Alsa. When i rebooted Alsa-mixer wouldn't work at all. When I try to open "Volume Control" I get an error "Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found." If I try to start it from the terminal I get an error "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device or address ". What do I need to do? Do I need to install alsa mixer again, and if so, could you please, post a direct link to the alsa mixer package to download.

If you don't want to delete mailman but just stop it from running, check for files related to it by doing an "ls /etc/cron*" (those are system crontabs run by anacron). Odds are you'll find a script. Just delete it.

I've found it much simpler to install everything, even when doing a kickstart, and then have the kickstart remove the handful of "undesirable" packages after the fact then waste time constantly tweaking the list of installed packages when some developer wants something. It makes the default answer to any questions "if it isn't there it didn't come with the OS." A better question would be why does mailman do "things" even when there are no lists to do it to? -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | Public Key: dave at xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com/dave/gpg.html $ gpg --recv-keys --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net 4C032504 Mystery attachment? http://xdroop.dhs.org/space/GPG -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

You could make a script: ----------- 8< snip ----------------- #!/bin/sh eaglectrl -d startadsl ----------- 8< snip ----------------- and put in, say, /usr/local/sbin/connectme. Don't forget to chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/connectme Then you can make it executable from sudo by making this entry in /etc/sudoers (assuming your login is "othman"): othman ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/connectme Then you can start it up as your mere-mortal self using: sudo /usr/local/sbin/connectme Now, you can put that line in whatever script is involved with your logging in, possibly ~/.bash_profile, or your window manager startup script. That said, if you have a decent firewall running on your machine, there's little reason not to start up the connection when you boot and leave it up.

Ideally, each interface should be on a separate subnet or VLAN. It's not absolutely necessary, but if they're on the same network each one will see traffic from the others (unless your switch is clever with layer 3 switching--most cheap home units really aren't). If you want to do this, there really isn't any valid reason to have three interfaces in the first place. You really aren't segregating traffic. > Will they need to be different sub-nets to make this work? No, but you have to force routes to each host. If you put them on separate subnets, then the routing will take care of itself. > The output of netstat -r is here: > [root at cluster_master etc]# netstat -r > Kernel IP routing table > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface > 172.17.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 > 172.17.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 > 172.17.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 > 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 > default 172.17.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 You have all interfaces talking to the same network segment. It'll work, but it's pretty lame and you're really not segregating traffic. Since you're using non-routing addresses, why not use 172.17.2/24 for mail on eth0, 172.17.3/24 for Samba on eth1 and 172.17.4/24 for cluster on eth2? As to making sure each interface does what you want, as long as you don't change the order of the cards in your bus, the "ifcfg-ethX" scripts found in "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts" define the IP address and netmask for each interface.

There are two competing printing mechanisms under Linux...CUPS and LPRng. LPRng is the more, uh, "classic" Unix printing system. CUPS ("C Unified Printing System") is a greatly improved printing mechanism. Both use the same commands (lpr, lprm, lpq, etc.), however the commands have actually been renamed "lpr.cups" and "lpr.lprng", etc.) and symbolic links point to the actual commands. The links are changed as you select either CUPS or LPRng as your printing system. Which one are you using? Do "ls -l /etc/alternatives/print" and it'll show you what the symbolic link points at. Odds are it'll be "lpr.cups", meaning you're using CUPS. So, make sure you update your CUPS software. If you installed yum or apt-get as I recommended, just use: "yum -y update cups*" or "apt-get -u update cups*" to update to the latest release from the Fedora Legacy gang (remember, Red Hat doesn't support RH9 anymore). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - The world is coming to an end ...

That's the goal. The cluster machines should talk to each other (on their own subnet) through the gigabit layer 3 switch in the machine room. That should enable isolation from other traffic, right? In addition, I'll bind the second gigabit ethernet card to a different subnet, although it will plug into the same layer 3 gigabit switch in the machine room. This interface will be used for samba data serving to the local network. The layer 3 switch will uplink to the local network layer 3 gigabit switch.

If you are using runlevel 5, the GUI login, your local hook is ~/.Xclients and ~/.Xclients-default. The former usually calls the latter. My .Xclients reads: #!/bin/bash # Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher if [ -e "$HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY" ]; then exec $HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY else exec $HOME/.Xclients-default fi I think I would put in near the top of that file, after the #!/bin/bash line.

There are some howto's out there if you want a step by step approach but this is relatively simple. Now if you need to resize partitions then that can also be done with parted and some other partition routines.

Well am not sure if i understand your question , but i think you are asking on how to bypass the problem that appears when Windows overwrite the MBR with grub ( lilo ) and put their own which of course loads only Windows . In the above case you just boot from the first CD of your Linux distribution and select the rescue mode . After that simply chroot /mnt/sysimage and then simply reinstall grub . Usually entering # grub-install /dev/hda should do the work for you . There was never a question of reinstalling linux , the only question was of reinstalling the boot loader and only the boot loader .

Well, no, not if the NICs are on different subnets. As you add IPs in different subnets to the NICs, the route table will automatically be set up so that the IP on the machine is used as the route for that network. When you're all done, a "netstat -rn" should show each network using a different "Iface" part, with the "gateways" set up as "0.0.0.0". The default gateway will show up with a "gateway" as the IP of your default route and will have a "G" in the "Flags" column. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Never put off 'til tommorrow what you can forget altogether! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Jan 24 17:41:56 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 09:41:56 -0800 Subject: reinstalling windows on a dual boot In-Reply-To: <200501221723.57159.tyche@ica.net> References: <200501221723.57159.tyche@ica.net> Message-ID: <41F53364.7080706@vitalstream.com> tyche wrote: > was wondering if there was some way to reinstall wins**t on a dual boot one > drive system without having to reinstall linux You must make sure that Windows installs in its old partition on your hard drive (don't let it take over any other partitions).

This really should be addressed to Red Hat's support group, but we'll take a stab. Download and burn the CD images. Edit "/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources" and add a line such as: dir local-CDs /mnt/cdrom Put one of your burned CDs in the drive and it should automount. You can then run up2date. Since you've added a local RPM repository to its sources, it should work fine. I'm not certain, but you might be able to force up2date to look at the CDs without editing the file by specifying the "-k /mnt/cdrom" option: up2date -u -k /mnt/cdrom but I've never done it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - UNIX is actually quite user friendly.

There are two competing printing mechanisms under Linux...CUPS and LPRng. LPRng is the more, uh, "classic" Unix printing system. CUPS ("C Unified Printing System") is a greatly improved printing mechanism. Both use the same commands (lpr, lprm, lpq, etc.), however the commands have actually been renamed "lpr.cups" and "lpr.lprng", etc.) and symbolic links point to the actual commands. The links are changed as you select either CUPS or LPRng as your printing system. Which one are you using? Do "ls -l /etc/alternatives/print" and it'll show you what the symbolic link points at. Odds are it'll be "lpr.cups", meaning you're using CUPS. So, make sure you update your CUPS software. If you installed yum or apt-get as I recommended, just use: "yum -y update cups*" or "apt-get -u update cups*" to update to the latest release from the Fedora Legacy gang (remember, Red Hat doesn't support RH9 anymore).

All updates for Red Hat Linux 9 come from Fedora Legacy. You can get them by using yum or apt-get. > If I can get LPRng installed, how do I activate it? Just install it (you can use "yum install LPRng"), then use the Printing applet in System Tools to switch to it. There really isn't any good reason to switch to LPRng from CUPS. Your problem should possibly be squawked to the CUPS people. However, since you run an obsolete version of Linux, you may not get a lot of help. I really, REALLY suggest you go to Fedora Core 2 or 3 ASAP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Jan 25 17:52:09 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 09:52:09 -0800 Subject: Setting Different Password Lengths In-Reply-To: <155FD4A036C9A643B7745049D08EC2F54413B1@pntmail1.foremost.com> References: <155FD4A036C9A643B7745049D08EC2F54413B1@pntmail1.foremost.com> Message-ID: <41F68749.2050506@vitalstream.com> Stamper, Steve wrote: > RH7.2: > > I know I can edit /etc/login.defs and set the PASS_MIN_LEN, however it sets > this requirement for ALL users.

I don't think that you can specify a different length for one person's password from the one that's system wide. And be careful...if you use DES passwords, only the first 8 characters are significant anyway.

I used Sane for my dad's expensive all-in-one and it's worked fine, although it does seem to get buggered up by updates now and again. However it seems that I cannot find a new, inexpensive scanner supported by Sane right now. Two ideas: 1) Buy what we want and use it under Windows until Sane catches up, if ever. 2) Buy an HP for a bit more money and use the HP drivers. Seems reasonable, except it's a bit more money... ($40...) Probably will go with #2 as both my wife and son are now on Linux and I don't want to do anything that goes against their momentum.

The T65 has worked fine for printing and scanning. The problem with both of them is that they have both developed a bad pixel in the scanner so that there is always a fine line through the picture. I haven't checked repair cost, but I imagine it's pretty breath-taking. The all-in-ones are nice for saving desk space, but when one part of it goes bad, it's tougher to decide whether to fix it, buy a replacement for that function, or buy a whole new unit. Guess it depends on how much desk space you have. We don't buy HP stuff anymore. Sue has a nice Epson flat-bed scanner and an Epson ink-jet printer. The K80 is kept for incoming and outgoing faxes.

Guess it > depends on how much desk space you have. Well, in this case the printer will be printer #2. I don't generally need a fax, but there are times it's handy. What we need is a scanner. My son's in a school where papers are getting lost. He does the work. We see it go in the backpack. He says he turns it in. The teacher says she doesn't receive it. For a couple of days we drove to Kinko's and did the Xerox routine but that gets old even for an out of work guy like me! ;-) We want good enough copies that we can back up the statement to the school that he did the work and the problem is at their end.

The K80 is kept for incoming and > outgoing faxes. Heheheh! I use the Canon for scanning, a Lexmark Z53 for printing and a Zoom faxmodem for faxing. So I suppose my machine is an "all-in-one". Nice thing about the faxmodem...I can preview the faxes before committing to paper. Darned good thing, too, as 80% of the stuff I get is crap. I've gotten two "fax spammers" prosecuted because of that! I asked them to take me off their lists nicely three times. After that, I handed everything over to the D.A. (logs are SO handy for this) and he popped them. I think the fines were $200K and $400K. "You don't step on Superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind.

Depends on whether you're using sendmail, postfix or qmail--they're all different. If you're going to be toying with sendmail, make sure you get a copy of the "Bat Book" ("sendmail" by Costales and Allman, O'Reilly). It describes all of the stuff. For sendmail in a nutshell, do this as root: 1. cd /etc/mail 2. Edit "sendmail.mc" and uncomment the various "masquerade*" options you need by deleting the "dnl " bit in front and modifying the contents as needed. The lines you're probably interested in would look like this after you edit them: MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.com')dnl (note that the first quote is a grave, on the "~" key) FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(mydomain.com)dnl You also need to remove the "Addr=127.0.0.1," bit from the "DAEMON_OPTIONS" line: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl 3. Edit "access" and add "Connect:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx RELAY" lines as needed for the machines you are willing to relay for, where the "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the IP address for the client machines. 4. Do a "make" to rebuild "sendmail.cf" from "sendmail.mc" and build "access.db" from "access". 5. Restart sendmail via "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart" I REALLY, REALLY (and I mean REALLY!) recommend you peruse the bat book FIRST. The LAST thing the Internet needs is another bloody open relay server. What I've given you above is VERY cursory and you can get yourself into lots of trouble if you screw up. MAJOR POINT HERE! If you don't know what you're doing or you don't understand what I said above, go find someone who knows what to do. DO NOT try this if you have ANY doubts. If you do, the odds are you'll end up with an open relay server and then you'll come back to us complaining that you got blacklisted on SORBS or dnsbl.org. Ignoring our warnings will make us rather unsympathetic to your plight. I don't want to sound mean, but I run a mail service that handles 18M messages a day and I'm really, really tired of open relay servers (90% of which are Windows machines or badly-configured sendmail machines) spamming us or trying to propagate viruses. Fully 50% of the traffic we see is crap of that sort. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Consciousness: that annoying time between naps. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From karlp at ourldsfamily.com Wed Jan 26 22:39:26 2005 From: karlp at ourldsfamily.com (karlp at ourldsfamily.com) Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 15:39:26 -0700 (MST) Subject: Forwarding and masquerding In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <35538.207.173.117.242.1106779166.squirrel@ourldsfamily.com> > Hi, i installed a Red Hat Enterprise Edition 3 and i want to use this > server > as a gateway, so, my quiestion is: > How can i forward and do masquerading of the others pcs, i have to nics, > eth0 and eth1, so is there any aplication or script? > thanks.

I think RH9 used lilo by default, but I can't recall offhand. If you use lilo (indicated by the presence of an "/etc/lilo.conf" file), edit that file and look at all the "title=" lines. Find the one that matches up to your Windows boot setup. Next, find the "default=" line near the top of the file. Change the data after the "default=" to the label that stands for your Windows boot. Save the changes to the file and run "/sbin/lilo" to update the boot configuration. If you use grub, edit "/boot/grub/grub.conf" and look at the "title" lines. The first one is "0", the next is "1" and so on. Next, find the "default=" line and change the value there to the number that corresponds to the "title" line that matches your Windows stuff. For example, I have five "title" lines in my file, and the last one is for Windows. So I'd change "default=" to "default=4" (remember, you number them from zero, not 1). Unlike lilo (where you have to run "/sbin/lilo" to update your boot config), you do not have to do anything after editing and saving the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - It is better to have loved and lost.

There are a number of ways to do it.

This option should be placed into fourth field of that line. You may add also option "grpquota" if you want to use options for groups. Presence of this option will tell the iniscripts that disk quotas should be turned for that partition during system startup. Then run the calculation of current usage of disk by the users: quotacheck -acvug This program will try to remount root filesystem in read-only mode. Therefore you should not have any files open for writing at that time. Most probably you will have such files and will need to add option -m when run quotacheck. In that case calculation of disk usage will be donw on read-write filesystem (however, sizes of files written during the process of usage calculation may be incorrecly calculated for quota ourposes). Then turn the quotas on: quotaon -avug At this time you can manage user and group quotas with 'edquota'. Alexey Fadyushin. Brainbench MVP for Linux. http://www.brainbench.com After that ??

Anything else I can do? You're right, Z is zombie, D is "deferred" (same as uninterruptible sleep). Processes in "D" state are generally waiting for some form of I/O. If they're there for a long time (and they've used 5 seconds of CPU--that's a lot!), then something evil happened and I consider them zombies, but they're orphaned zombies. You can't kill them as they're stuck in kernel land. You still have to reboot.

The MAC address and ESSID (and everything else) looks pretty normal. Signal strength does look a little lower than usual. Possibly this is part of the issue. 5) If I run chkconfig --del iptables and reboot then it still doesn't work but the iptables modules are loaded into memory and iptables -L tells me the firewall is stopped. dragonfly was built about 2 weeks ago and has been wireless since it went live.

I have now found that if I take the network down and bring it back up then it works, at least for a while. The machine did hard crash after about 10 minutes and I had to power cycle. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown wlan0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup wlan0 and it works.

There is something really bad going on here. The machine is having a terrible time booting. One time it did some sort of kernel panic and said it wasn't syncing. I tried rebooting using both with and without noacpi. It's just having problems of some soft. I did run both iwconfig and ifconfig before and after the down/up stuff earlier. I didn't see any big differences. Managed, open, right key, right ESSID, right hardware addresses. If I can get the machine to boot I'll send along the info but it may not be in the next couple of hours unless I'm lucky. Look for something tomorrow morning for sure.

To use masquerading, put the following lines into iptables configuration (/etc/sysconfig/iptables): Into table nat, chain POSTROUTING put the following string -A POSTROUTING -s -j SNAT --to-source
This will do the masquerading. Then allow the forwarding of packets between internal and external addresses (table 'filter' chain FORWARD): -A FORWARD -s -j ACCEPT Or simply set the default rule of FORWARD chain to ACCEPT. Then reload iptables rules: service iptables restart Then switch on the forwarding in the kernel echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward And put appropriate line into /etc/sysctl.conf so the forwarding will be switched on after each reboot: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 Also I recommend to switch on the use of iptales helpers for at least FTP protocol. The list of helpers to be loaded at iptables restart is in file /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config, parameter IPTABLES_MODULES.

If there is no support for ABNT in the installer, then there isn't support. Red Hat does not support Red Hat 9 (there was no 9.0) any longer. I might suggest doing a google search on your keyboard to see if there is someone else that has dealt with that situation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the - - reader...who doesn't get it. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Jan 31 17:36:32 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 09:36:32 -0800 Subject: faint X screen In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <41FE6CA0.20902@vitalstream.com> Tapas Ranjan wrote: > On Fri, 28 Jan 2005, Rick Stevens wrote: > > >>Tapas Ranjan wrote: >> >>>Hi : >>> Though it is not a linux problem, but I thought to post it.

When you boot your machine and enter the BIOS setup (usually by hitting the DEL key), there may be an option to reset the machine. If there is, try it. If not, you may be able to do a hard reset, but for laptops that usually means a trip to the repair shop (they have to open the machine and install a jumper, then remove it). >>backlight did die, then getting it repaired can cost a lot of money >>if the machine isn't under warranty.

I will post that in another thread. Use "chkconfig --levels 2345 pcmcia on" to enable PCMCIA services. The startup script for pcmcia loads yenta_socket for you. As far as iwconfig, do the first two items you have above (or use "/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start"), then use "redhat-config-network" (RH) or "system-config-network" (fedora) to configure eth1 or wlan0.

I think I answered this in a previous posting by you. If this is related to your other question, PLEASE don't start another thread. Just reply to your own posting and put in an "UPDATE" line in the body. First, the vast majority of wireless cards under a 2.6 kernel are "wlan0" rather than "eth1" but yours many be an exception. We need more details as to what kind of card it is. Cisco makes a number of wireless cards and since we don't know what kind it is, we can't recommend which driver is the right one to use. We need the output of "cardmgr" or the contents of the "/var/lib/pcmcia/stab" file if cardmgr is already running. > Since I don't have a "usb" drive with me write now, I am unable > to send you the "iwconfig eth1" results.

You need to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 (or ifcfg-wlan0) file and make sure you have lines similar to: DEVICE=eth1 (or DEVICE=wlan0) ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp ESSID="youressid open" That is the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM for a wireless card. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - To iterate is human, to recurse, divine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Jan 31 18:09:41 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 10:09:41 -0800 Subject: Kickstart install @core only In-Reply-To: <9505500405013020212a61cc02@mail.gmail.com> References: <9505500405013020212a61cc02@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <41FE7465.5040606@vitalstream.com> Matt Higgins wrote: > I'm using kickstart with PXE boot to install a small <500 MB image. .. > I think I want to just install the @core package group but it seams > that @core is always sucking in @base which is pushing me over the > size edge.

No. core depends on base. There may be some things in core that causes more stuff from base to be installed than you truly need , but you would need a careful analysis to figure out what you can do without. You're much more likely to have a non-functional system if you futz with that and don't know precisely what you're doing. > 2. Could I simply install a set of rpms .. no groups .. all the rpms > in the core group say? You probably could, but because core depends on base you're still looking at a very difficult installation. If you're talking about a truly tiny installation, I'd recommend you go to something like tinylinux and stay away from any Red Hat or Fedora distribution. They weren't intended for embedded installations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Okay, who put a "stop payment" on my reality check? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From markknecht at gmail.com Mon Jan 31 18:11:58 2005 From: markknecht at gmail.com (Mark Knecht) Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 10:11:58 -0800 Subject: Cisco Aironet 350 wireless in FC2-2.6.5 In-Reply-To: <41FE725D.2030703@vitalstream.com> References: <41FE725D.2030703@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <5bdc1c8b05013110112fd60fc2@mail.gmail.com> On Mon, 31 Jan 2005 10:01:01 -0800, Rick Stevens wrote: > ESSID="youressid open" > Is this where that belongs? I've been sticking a command in rc.local as I did not seem to find documentation on this. I'll give it a try. Helpful. Thanks. - Mark P.S. The FC3 machine I was working on last Friday with wireless problems is back up and happy. I think I finally have guessed that the problem was possibly something that surfaced due to an SMP kernel (it's a P4HT machine) and the use of the release candidate for ndiswrapper. After I brought up FC2 I loaded the newest ndiswrapper and started having similar problems. I looked at my son's FC2 machine and found he was using the older version of ndiswrapper. I put that on my wife's machine and the network hasn't missed a beat for the whole weekend. Thanks for your help. I did reseat everything except the processor and ran memtest86 for a couple of hour with no failures. Didn't mean to imply anywhere that the idea was a bad one. It wasn't, but in this case I don't think it was the root cause. (Time will tell...)

I've been sticking a command in rc.local > as I did not seem to find documentation on this. I mistyped. "open", "on", "off", "restricted", and "[x]" are valid arguments to iwconfig's "KEY" option, so that should be on the "KEY=" line: KEY="s:yourkeystring open" The options for ESSID are an actual ESSID or the word "any" (for access to any network found). The startup scripts take whatever is on the line and feeds it to iwconfig after the keyword. So a file with: ESSID=myessid KEY="s:mykeystring open" would end up creating a line like: iwconfig wlan0 ESSID myessid KEY s:mykeystring open ... It's really pretty straight forward if you look at "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless". > I'll give it a try. > > Helpful. Thanks. > > - Mark > > P.S.

It's just when things get flakey, it's often something stupid like that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
