If "mount" does not explicitly tell you that it's mounted as "nfsvers=3" then it's V2. The stats show up in the V3 client data because your _client_ is V3 (which is backwards-compatible with V2).

We have installed RedHat enterpise V3 AS and it recognizes the memory without problem. We have trouble however finding the sata controller, REdHat does not find or recognize the device. The physical limit of our motherboard is 16GB RAM but as we have 2*4 banks of memory and 2GB chips are not on the market yet, we have installed 4GB. I do not know what the limit is that the opteron processor can address, but if you plan on installing a dual motherboard with 64 bit processors, the processors can probably allocate much more memory than can be put on your motherboard.

How can you get > 4 GB physical memory on 32-bit hardware? Are they talking about Intel's PAE? It'd sure be nice if you'd wrap your message lines at 72 characters or so. The AMD 64 chip has a 40-bit physical address space with a 48-bit virtual address space. The 40-bit address space gives you 1TB of RAM, the 48-bit virtual space gives you 280TB of address space. I rather doubt you'll find any motherboard in the near future that provides that kind of RAM support for less than thousands of dollars. I still don't know what AS3 on an X86_64 provides. If they use the full 48-bit address space for apps, then a process has access to 280TB of memory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "I'd explain it to you, but your brain might explode." - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From cyberxero at quicknet.nl Thu Apr 1 20:27:06 2004 From: cyberxero at quicknet.nl (Cyberxero) Date: Thu, 01 Apr 2004 22:27:06 +0200 Subject: Redhat Fedora Installation Error Message-ID: <001601c41827$b37afef0$0400a8c0@p3500mhz> Hello, I am having problems with my Fedora install, i tested the cd's and they are all good. this is the error i get, please help me.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I do indeed still have the system, but I must have had the problem with a previous release of SC. All those options are set to No on my system, except for Auto-AST I think. Try setting Alternate disk error handling to Yes and see if that cures it. If not, set that back and then try Yes for Skip auto then try yes for Int 13. You shouldn't hurt anything. > > > > > I called V-Com recently.

So far the best clue has been that if I put SC7 into a text mode instead of graphics, and then attempt to run the wizards for OS installation or for partitioning, a message pops up about a 'missing command interpreter'. I am currently waiting for a response from V-Com about what command interpreter they would be expecting at this point, but the emails I've received from them so far seem to indicate that some OEM installations of Windows (in this case a new Compaq 3GHz laptop with Win XP Pro on it) sometimes leave stuff out that would have been installed if you used M$ disks. V-Com has been pretty cool about helping. They haven't asked if I was a paying customer, and I've been getting may one response a day, so we're making headway, if a bit slowly. Anyway, with Rick's idea to try booting from the SC7 disk I was able to do the partitioning by hand and get Linux on the machine, so I'm in no big pain at this point. I also got X set up for the same native 1280x800 resolution that the machine uses under Windows so the display is just as sharp. Now, if I could only get DMA working on the hard drive I'd be in no pain at all... ;-) - Mark From cyberxero at quicknet.nl Fri Apr 2 16:52:38 2004 From: cyberxero at quicknet.nl (Cyberxero) Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2004 18:52:38 +0200 Subject: Redhat Fedora Installation Error References: <001601c41827$b37afef0$0400a8c0@p3500mhz> <406C8541.2080008@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <006b01c418d2$e8269d20$0400a8c0@p3500mhz> thanks for the replys guys, but the problem was the videocard, i replaced my S3 Trio 64v+ PCI with a Diamond Speedstar Pro ISA and added 32 MB more RAM, so this is the setup now: Pentium MMX 166 Mhz 64 MB RAM Diamond Speedstar Pro (ISA-Slot) and now it is installing fine :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Stevens" To: "Getting started with Red Hat Linux" Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 11:10 PM Subject: Re: Redhat Fedora Installation Error > Cyberxero wrote: > > Hello, > > I am having problems with my Fedora install, > > i tested the cd's and they are all good. > > this is the error i get, please help me. > > Thanx ! > > - Martin > > > > install exited abnormaly > > sending termination signals...done > > sending kill signals...done > > unmounting filesystems... > > /tmp/rhimage > > /proc > > /mnt > > you may safely reboot the system > > That's not the error, that's the termination message.

You have a problem with the default gateway. When you connect to the internet, your ISP's DHCP system sets up your IP address, netmask and default gateway. If you reboot and don't connect to the internet, you don't have any of that set up, so the two systems can't speak to each other. You didn't say how you connect to the internet. If you can give us an idea of the topology of your network, we might be able to offer some exact instructions on how to make sure it works whether or not you're on the internet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - 500: Internal Fortune Cookie Error - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri Apr 2 17:27:38 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2004 09:27:38 -0800 Subject: Redhat Fedora Installation Error In-Reply-To: <006b01c418d2$e8269d20$0400a8c0@p3500mhz> References: <001601c41827$b37afef0$0400a8c0@p3500mhz> <406C8541.2080008@vitalstream.com> <006b01c418d2$e8269d20$0400a8c0@p3500mhz> Message-ID: <406DA28A.6090903@vitalstream.com> Cyberxero wrote: > thanks for the replys guys, but the problem was the videocard, i replaced my > S3 Trio 64v+ PCI with a Diamond Speedstar Pro ISA and added 32 MB more RAM, > so this is the setup now: > > Pentium MMX 166 Mhz > 64 MB RAM > Diamond Speedstar Pro (ISA-Slot) > > and now it is installing fine :-) Ah, you could have tried a text-based install too.

You really need to look at the /var/log/maillog file to see exactly what's going on. If sendmail is calling a delivery agent, _it_ may be dying an passing its error back to sendmail, which does the final reporting. Hopefully the delivery agent will leave a trace in the log. Alternately, you can issue the same command from the command line, but add a "-v" to it and watch the delivery process take place. You may see what's happening. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "I'd explain it to you, but your brain might explode." - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From micros50 at computer.net Fri Apr 2 17:58:33 2004 From: micros50 at computer.net (mylar) Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2004 12:58:33 -0500 Subject: Fedora Installation CD's Message-ID: Is there any place I can obtain the Fedora Installation Cd's.

I just get > errors and the download fails. Simply download the .iso files via FTP in BINARY (or "IMAGE") mode and save them. Try going here with your browser: ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/1/i386/iso/ Click on each of the "yarrow-i386-discN.iso" links. When your browser asks you what to do, save them to some scratch directory somewhere. Once you've downloaded the images, use your CD burning software to burn the CDs from those .iso files. Make SURE you tell your software that the files are ISO images (that's IMPORTANT!). An ISO image is an image of the CD itself. If you burn the CDs and look at their contents, if you only see one file, you burned them incorrectly. > Do you have to be on the Linux box to do this or what.

Try this. Go into your BIOS and toggle the setting for "Legacy USB support" or something similar. That is, if it was off, turn it on. If it was on, turn it off.

(NB please give your postings a meaningful subject line!!) what do you mean, you don't see them? By this I mean, what have you tried? - If you mean, they aren't automatically mounted and appearing in your filemanager, then that is entirely normal. You need to edit your /etc/fstab file to allow your windows filesystems to be mounted when you boot. try this (as root) fdisk -l this should give you a list of the partitions on all your hard disks mount will show you the ones that are already mounted you probably need to add an entry like this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0 to your /etc/fstab file. The /mnt/windows directory must exist already. Create it if it doesn't. A word of caution. If your Windows Filesystems are NTFS you will be able to mount them, but not write to them. Writing to NTFS under linux is hazardous, particularly if you are using any of the NTFS special file permissions. once you have edited the /etc/fstab file you should be able to mount the FS without rebooting - simply type mount /mnt/windows as root.

Use the command #lspci -vv Search for your tv tuner card . In the first line it should give you the chipset of the card . Search for drivers for the chipset ( i don't recall which kernel you use but if your tv tuner card has a Bt848 chipset , your kernel already has drivers ) . There might be a need to add an options line in your /etc/modules.conf file if your tv tuner card doesn't get autodetected ( for example if you can watch tv but you can't change channels ) . Other than that i use xawtv in order to watch tv and for video capturing .

These appear as SCSI devices to your system, so if you have no other SCSI stuff, it may well appear to fdisk -l as /dev/sda most CF and Smartmedia cards use vfat filesystems. your fstab options, when you know which disk your reader appears as, will usually include 'noauto' and 'user' - to avoid your system trying to mount the cardreader at boot, and to allow ordinary users to mount and unmount the device without needing root access. > Also i have Digital USB camera , which i can use as a web camera so tell me > any program which can display live video from my web cam. google is your friend. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=USB+webcam+linux+program&btnG=Google+Search (the link will definitely wrap.) http://www.linuxlinks.com/Software/Graphics/Camera/ -- Stuart Sears RHCE/RHCX From steve.carr at fl.ngb.army.mil Sun Apr 4 19:03:41 2004 From: steve.carr at fl.ngb.army.mil (Carr, Steve M CW4 FL-ARNG) Date: Sun, 4 Apr 2004 15:03:41 -0400 Subject: Question on creating a boot CD Message-ID: I downloaded RedHat Linux ES v3.0 from the web site. Under "\dosutils" or "\images" there is no "rewrite.exe", "boot.img", or "supp.img" files as stated in the knowledgebase "How do I create an installation boot disk?" dated 03-28-04. How do I create a boot CD Disk from the downloaded "iso" files ? I created CDs from the "iso" files using a product called WINIMAGE. cd \dosutils rawrite.exe When prompted for a disk for the boot image, enter \path\to\boot.img. Then run rawrite again and, when prompted, enter \path\to\supp.img. The .img files are boot images and can be found in the images directory on the first Red Hat Linux installation CD-ROM.

I'm impressed: not only does it ship with 3 CDs containing Fedora Core 1 Plus (Plus meaning that it's updated to February 2nd) and a Mini CD Rescue Disc, it also contains a very detailed step by step installation and configuration guide. Plus a lot more Wide Open is bi-monthly and each issue will come with open source CDs, hopefully Fedora Core 2 will be in the next one.

The .iso files are exact images of the CDs and you don't need WinImage to use them. Your burning software should have an option to "burn a CD from an image file" or something to that effect. Select that option and specify the .iso file as the source. Don't bother with WinImage.

I've looked at it. There are a number of things that are going to prevent you from seeing any shares. There are two sections that are live, "homes", "printers" and "root". You won't be able to see anything in "homes" as it is not browseable and since you are probably connecting as a user on the Windows side that is unknown on the Linux side, you can't access it anyway as the allowed users ("valid users = %S") are limited to users that have accounts on the Linux machine itself. I won't deal with "printers" here, unless you actually need Windows access to a Linux printer. As for "root", you've set up just a path for that, but you've provided no other access information for it. How to fix? Well, that rather depends on what you want to do. If you can be a bit more specific about what you're trying to do, perhaps we can help. You may also want to enable "swat" on the Linux machine. It is a GUI tool that helps you configure Samba. To turn it on, edit your "/etc/services" file and make sure there is a line that looks like this: swat 901/tcp # Samba Web Administration Tool in it and that there's no leading "#" on the line. Then either edit the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file and change the "disable = yes" line to "disable = no" and "kill -HUP `pidof xinetd`" (yes, those are backticks) or simply run swat from the command line: "swat &". Then use the web browser on the Linux machine and access "http://localhost:901" and you should see the swat configuration screen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - A day for firm decisions!!!

If you want all users to write to the _same_ directory and you're not concerned with oodles of security, create the directory on the Linux machine and give it world write privileges: # mkdir /some/directory # chmod 777 /some/directory Then change your /etc/samba/smb.conf file's [homes] section to read: [homes] comment = Universal home directory path = /some/directory browseable = yes writeable = yes guest ok = yes create mode = 0666 directory mode = 0777 Then stop and restart samba: /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba restart Note that this allows ANYONE to write to /some/directory.

That is true. However, you _can_ use a Samba user-map file which would translate a Windows username (your 9-digit thingie) to a Unix username. The format of that file is: unix-username = windows-username "Windows Username" in other words, a Unix username, then an "=", followed by the Windows username. If the Windows username contains an embedded space, then enclose it in double quotes. To make this work, you need to create the Unix user accounts, then add: username map = /path/to/user-map/file to /etc/samba/smb.conf's [global] section, modify the [homes] section "path" entry to: path = /base/directory/%u and restart samba after this. You'll also need to create the smbpasswd file containing the user's Windows passwords. Each user can then have a separate directory under /base/directory. As an example, suppose you have the user-map file contain user31 = 923456 You can then create /home/directory/user31 and the Windows user 923456 will be able to mount "\\sambaserver\homes\user31" on their machine. The corresponding Linux directory is "/base/directory/user31". > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com > [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com]On Behalf Of Wesa, > Richard (GE Consumer & Industrial) > Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 3:40 PM > To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > Subject: RE: Linux Visibility on Microsoft Network > > > Rick, > Thanks.

As an example, suppose you have the user-map file contain user31 = 923456 You can then create /home/directory/user31 and the Windows user 923456 will be able to mount "\\sambaserver\homes\user31" on their machine. The corresponding Linux directory is "/base/directory/user31". > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com > [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com]On Behalf Of Wesa, > Richard (GE Consumer & Industrial) > Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 3:40 PM > To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > Subject: RE: Linux Visibility on Microsoft Network > > > Rick, > Thanks.

Let me bring everyone up to date. One day I was no longer able to SEND Emails through Ximan's Evolution I got the following error: Error while performing operation: sendmail exited with status 64: mail not sent The people on the Evolution help list suggested I upgrade from the standard Red Hat 9 copy of Evolution to the newest version. I did that and Ximan took over my machine - now I have an Ximan desktop with their choices of programs available AND my email still doesn't want to work. I've also found out my email doesn't work while under Mozilla. Don't know if this went away the same time the Evolution went away or after the upgrade. Rick suggested I try doing telnet to his mail server through port 25 (telnet smtp.#### 25) and that worked. So it doesn't look like port 25 is blocked. I've tried every option in setting up the email account in Evolution. I've deleted it and started over. Here is how I answered the questions: Server Type => SMTP Host => smtp.comcast.net Server requires authentication - I've tried this both on and off and all the variations on my login name (brad.mugleston & brad.mugleston at comcast.net) The one thing I haven't been able to do it give it my password I was expecting it to ask me for it but it appears to fail before I get that far. I do have the ability to send email from my machine - I use Pine. Any Ideas?

It seems all the windows users I know do this kind of thing all the time, and their stuff just works.

That is true. However, you _can_ use a Samba user-map file which would translate a Windows username (your 9-digit thingie) to a Unix username. The format of that file is: unix-username = windows-username "Windows Username" in other words, a Unix username, then an "=", followed by the Windows username. If the Windows username contains an embedded space, then enclose it in double quotes. To make this work, you need to create the Unix user accounts, then add: username map = /path/to/user-map/file to /etc/samba/smb.conf's [global] section, modify the [homes] section "path" entry to: path = /base/directory/%u and restart samba after this. You'll also need to create the smbpasswd file containing the user's Windows passwords. Each user can then have a separate directory under /base/directory.

I know that more recent Mozilla downloads from the Mozilla web site are built using the gcc32 compiler and require the ns610-gcc32 plugin. I don't think that this version of the plugin was available with the 1.3.1 JVM. I think you are going to have to install a more recent JVM from Sun, then link the JVM plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so to the plugins directory of the new Mozilla. -- Nigel Wade, System Administrator, Space Plasma Physics Group, University of Leicester, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK E-mail : nmw at ion.le.ac.uk Phone : +44 (0)116 2523548, Fax : +44 (0)116 2523555 From ottohaliburton at comcast.net Wed Apr 7 12:32:31 2004 From: ottohaliburton at comcast.net (Otto Haliburton) Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2004 07:32:31 -0500 Subject: upgrading from redhat 9 to fc1 or fc2 beta Message-ID: <00dd01c41c9c$6603d6a0$1e090018@C515816A> Has anyone upgraded from rh9 to fc1 or fc2 beta without having to wipe out rh9 to do so.

There are a world of things that need to be addressed with Samba and Windows access. First, if it's NT4SP3/W2K/W2K3/XP/98SE, then you must enable encrypted passwords in smb.conf. You must create the Unix users, then use the smbpasswd program to create the encrypted passwords that Samba will reference. If you use the user map, then that must also be prepared. You must set up the shares in smb.conf, too. After all that, you have to stop and restart nmbd and smbd. > Note on Samba, we normally tell samba to authenticate through a Windows > Domain controller here and map the user names out to user ID's. That makes things a bit easier. Really, if you're going to use Samba, use swat to set it up AND get a decent Samba book such as "Using Samba" from O'Reilly.

The file etc/xinetd.d/swat does not exist. The line in /etc/services should look like: swat 901/tcp # Samba Web Administration Tool The xinetd control file is "/etc/xinetd.d/swat". Here are the default contents: # default: off # description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \ # to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \ # connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser. service swat { disable = yes port = 901 socket_type = stream wait = no only_from = 127.0.0.1 user = root server = /usr/sbin/swat log_on_failure += USERID } Again, change disable = yes to disable = no and "kill -HUP `pidof xinetd`". Swat should now be listening. Try doing a "netstat -lpn | grep 901". You should see xinetd listening on TCP port 901 at that point, and swat should be ready to go. Note that "only_from" line, meaning you can ONLY access swat from a mozilla on the same machine that swat is running on. When you browse "http://localhost:901", you'll be presented with a login screen. Log in as the root user and you should be good to go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Do not taunt the sysadmins, for they are subtle and quick to anger - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed Apr 7 16:46:07 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 07 Apr 2004 09:46:07 -0700 Subject: Hardware Exchange from CDR to CD-R/RW In-Reply-To: <1081350474.2121.33.camel@redhat90> References: <1081350474.2121.33.camel@redhat90> Message-ID: <4074304F.3010503@vitalstream.com> Chris A Czerwinski wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to exchange my OEM CD-R for a Sony CD-R/RW (CRX140E) > > Will RHL9 (kudzu) recognize this new hardware when I reboot the system?

Keep in mind that most of these actually use "cdrecord" to do the actual grunt work--they provide nice GUIs to create the CD and ISO image, but cdrecord is what actually burns the CD. > Any pointers or suggestions that I need to be aware of > prior/during/after this hardware exchange? Try to jumper the new drive exactly as the old drive and plug it into the same cable. Generally, I make my R/RW drives slaves on the second IDE controller (secondary slaves), however your mileage may vary. If you plan to duplicate CDs, try to keep the CD and CD-RW on separate controllers. If a single controller has to deal with reading from a slow CD and feeding data to a fast, hungry CDRW, you may easily get a buffer underrun. One way to minimize that is to burn the CD at 1/2 the rate of the CD drive. In other words, if the CD drive is 24x but your CD-RW is capable of 40x, make SURE you burn at 12x or less. If the CD drive is faster than the CD-RW, then that doesn't apply. Another option (my preference) is to make an ISO image of the CD onto the hard disk, then burn the ISO image from the hard disk to the CD-RW. Hard disks are always faster than CD-RW so the buffer underrun odds are minimized. Fortunately, blank CDs are cheap so experiment away. Experience is the best teacher with this stuff. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - To iterate is human, to recurse, divine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From robertmcclure at earthlink.net Wed Apr 7 16:41:38 2004 From: robertmcclure at earthlink.net (Bob McClure Jr) Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2004 11:41:38 -0500 Subject: Linux Visibility on Microsoft Network In-Reply-To: <971323274247EB44B9A01D0A3B424C85080F5394@FTWMLVEM02.e2k.ad.ge.com> References: <971323274247EB44B9A01D0A3B424C85080F5394@FTWMLVEM02.e2k.ad.ge.com> Message-ID: <20040407164138.GA26014@bobcat.cumbytel.com> We prefer bottom-posting (AKA top-quoting).

For the most part, everything runs. There is a major problem however. I was running Samba 2.2.x. When I did the upgrade, I no longer had access to my home directory. After finally finding some useful documentation, it appears that 3.x is VASTLY different from 2.x. I THINK the issue relates to LDAP, but I don't know anything about LDAP, and I haven't gotten far enough into the documentation to make heads or tails of what's really going on. Can anybody tell me if there's a quick fix for the home directory issue? Secondly, I have video on the server, but it seems to be at the wrong sync rate(s), because of video artifacts on the screen. I use an old close out MicroCenter 14" monitor on a switchbox to access the server directly. Apparently no version of RedHat can probe it correctly, and finding the monitor spec.s is quite the challenge. I THINK I found a usenet post on Google Groups (in Russian!) with the right spec.s, but unless I'm mistaken the X configuration file has changed some too. It's listed as an "E447AU" on the back of the monitor. I ended up picking a Generic 1024x768 monitor just to get video. What do I need to change, especially to get the frequency right for the resolutions? Thanks in advance.

It's very difficult to debug this stuff remotely--especially with someone that's new to Linux. You are dealing with two very disparate systems and getting them to talk and share files isn't really difficult IF you understand the differences and what you want to do. I can probably set up exactly what you want by configuring it here and sending you the files needed (smb.conf, smbpasswd, etc.) to make it work for you. I'll need several items: 1. The Windows domain you want the server to join 2. The security model (user-based or share-based) 3. The name of the Windows domain controller if you want user security 4.

Your trying to accomplish in a week or so that takes regular people years to learn. I started with one computer running Linux - got it running, dialing the phone and doing email and surfing the web - was it easy? Then no, but I learned how Linux worked - sitting next to a Win95 machine Linux could run circles around Windows -for the things I knew how to do. Then I networked the two machines together - just to share one modem - A simple masquerade - with the help from this list I was able to get it to work, got the modem set up so either machine could just access the web and it would start the dial out process. Added to that so that just before I got home from work my Linux box would dial out and get my email and down load it so I could read it when I got home. It was great. Then I had the need (desire) to have the two machines share hard drives. Samba became my best friend/enemy then I changed one thing and it worked. Now my house is wired - 8+ computers all sharing drives and email. Running Win95 and Win98 and Red Hat 9. Was it easy, not really but it works great. Do I do this for a living - not even close. I guess what I'm saying is slow down, doing what you want to do isn't plug and play - even Windows to Windows machines - that's why you have a large support staff working full time just keeping things working. One thing you will find once you get away from Windows - Linux seems to be more stable (just don't upgrade it every time a new version comes out - you wouldn't do it if it weren't free so don't do it if what you have is working). Anyway, let Rick help you and you will be surprised at what you will be able to do ONCE you figure out what Rick did.

Something has that address in its ARP table or answers the bell. Keep in mind that lots of stuff is hidden if you're on a switch or VLAN, however, can you tcpdump it and see what's going on?

You can also check the "arp -e" output. Starting to look like a VMWare oddity? I've got other VMWare machines that are happy, so don't know why this one isn't.

In my experience, company IT groups are like the borg, but also slow, bloated, and at times, very unhelpful. Find the ones that are looking to the future, and thinking outside the box for help.

Your trying to accomplish in a week or so that takes regular people years to learn. I started with one computer running Linux - got it running, dialing the phone and doing email and surfing the web - was it easy? Then no, but I learned how Linux worked - sitting next to a Win95 machine Linux could run circles around Windows -for the things I knew how to do. Then I networked the two machines together - just to share one modem - A simple masquerade - with the help from this list I was able to get it to work, got the modem set up so either machine could just access the web and it would start the dial out process. Added to that so that just before I got home from work my Linux box would dial out and get my email and down load it so I could read it when I got home. It was great. Then I had the need (desire) to have the two machines share hard drives. Samba became my best friend/enemy then I changed one thing and it worked. Now my house is wired - 8+ computers all sharing drives and email. Running Win95 and Win98 and Red Hat 9. Was it easy, not really but it works great. Do I do this for a living - not even close. I guess what I'm saying is slow down, doing what you want to do isn't plug and play - even Windows to Windows machines - that's why you have a large support staff working full time just keeping things working. One thing you will find once you get away from Windows - Linux seems to be more stable (just don't upgrade it every time a new version comes out - you wouldn't do it if it weren't free so don't do it if what you have is working). Anyway, let Rick help you and you will be surprised at what you will be able to do ONCE you figure out what Rick did.

It's very difficult to debug this stuff remotely--especially with someone that's new to Linux. You are dealing with two very disparate systems and getting them to talk and share files isn't really difficult IF you understand the differences and what you want to do. I can probably set up exactly what you want by configuring it here and sending you the files needed (smb.conf, smbpasswd, etc.) to make it work for you. I'll need several items: 1. The Windows domain you want the server to join 2. The security model (user-based or share-based) 3. The name of the Windows domain controller if you want user security 4. What you want to do: a) All Windows users see the same directory on Linux b) Each Windows user gets their own directory on Linux You may want to send me this info off-list.

Bootproto=ehcp and onboot=yes The card attempts to get in IP address on DHCP and nada. It can't find one. The virtual NIC that VMWare creates, doesn't appear to be gettingout the real NIC. Weird.

Samba 2.x > used "security = share" by default, 3.x uses "security = user". Thanks for your reply. I solved both problems earlier today. I use my Samba as a PDC, so I already have "security=user". The problem was with this line in the [homes] share: "valid users = %S" Apparently, this is not permitted in Samba 3.x.

The video problem was apparently caused by Fedora either mis-identifying the video card, rather than the monitor, or using a driver that sucked. I switched to "VESA" for the video card and video is perfect.

I did like my circular slide rule - it never died on me. Heheheh! I had an HP45 in high school (I think it was 1974 when I got it). In college I got an HP21+, replaced it with a Corvus 500 (a cross between an HP45 and a TI SR71), and eventually an HP65 (wow! mag card program storage!). I also carried two slide rules--just in case. By the way, I still have all of those, except the HP21+ (sold it to get the Corvus). I flew to Albequerque in late '75 and picked up my MITS Altair 8800 (serial number 5), built it and beta-tested Microsoft 4K and 8K BASIC (loaded off paper tape, no less--and yes, I still have that machine). I also started managing the campus Data General Nova 2/10 mini (all of 32KB of core RAM) and directed the project that built a Xerox Sigma 7 mainframe from donated parts.

I don't think so, because there's no remote DC, just the SAMBA machine which is a PDC. Both clients are Win98SE.

Hard drive 1 includes three partitions, each partition having Windows XP on it. Hard drive 2 includes ONLY Fedora core 1. After installation of Fedora core I on hard drive2, I was getting GRUB menu (as usual) and then was able to boot into either Linux Fedora Core 1 or MS Windows. Then accidently due to some unknown reason, I was getting a problem on MS Windows XP of the third partition of hard drive 1. I fixed the problem on the third partion MS Windows. Now after repairing the third partition MS windows problem, what happened is that GRUB menu stopped appearing. Now a days, IF I want to open Fedora Core 1, then I MUST use a Fedora Core I bootable CD. If I don't use the Fedora Core 1 bootable CD, then GRUB manu does not appear and computer instead boots direcly into Windows boot menu. My point is that I want to have GRUB menu back "without using the Fedora Core 1 bootable CD" so that I will have option of booting either into Fedora Core 1 or MS windows. Would anybody help me bringing the GRUB menu back. I don't want to insert the Fedora Core 1 bootbale CD each time to open Fedora Core I.

You need to run grub so it can install its own bootloader in the MBR of you boot drive. Something like: # grub grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit # where hd0,0 is the first partition on the first drive. If this is not your boot drive then use the appropriate device (drives and partitions are number from 0 so the second partition on your second drive would be hd1,1.

This is a driver problem that is quite well known. Out of the box, neither RedHat Linux (neither 32- or 64-bit) nor Fedora grok SATA controllers. You can install Red Hat 9 or ES (32-bit or 64-bit) to the IDE drive first and don't forget to install the kernel source RPM. Then go to Promise's web site and download the appropriate driver. Build a new kernel with that new driver and you should be able to access the SATA drives. Granted this won't give you a root filesystem on SATA, but you can create one by copying your ENTIRE root filesystem to it, changing labels (or changing /etc/fstab) and trying a reboot. I'm expecting a new AMD64 and motherboard RSN (real soon now). It's an Asus K8V-DX (very similar to yours). I'll be installing FC1 on it.

I think most of the service processor cards function independantly of the OS, so it would stand to reason that you can configure the service processor. I've no idea how to configure the ibm service processor you speak of, but I do know that on the pseries you just connect a null modem cable to the serial port and run a terminal emulator at 9600,n,8,1 with no flow control. For documentation, I'd start digging through the info that shipped with your server. What you are looking for might be burried on dead tree or on cdrom in a pdf format.

You can use "--nodeps" or "--force" on the tcl RPM to force it to update. I don't think that'll break anything as the new tcl is backwards-compatible with older versions.

Eh, sorta. As the root user, do the following: 1. Enter the command: "cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts" 2. Enter the command: "cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:1" 3. Repeat step 2 as many times as needed, updating the number after the ":", e.g. cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:2 cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:3 and so on. 4. Edit each of the new "ifcfg-eth0:x" scripts. Each file should contain only 3 lines: DEVICE=eth0:x (replace "x" with the right number) BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (put in the right address) 5. Enter "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" and your new aliases should come up. They will come up each time you reboot, too. All of these pseudo-devices will share the same gateway and netmask. The network startup scripts look for any files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts that match the pattern "ifcfg-eth?:?" and uses the data in them to set up the aliases. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - To err is human.

Second, are you pulling these updates from Red Hat's server or a mirror? I ask the second question because up2date typically queries Red Hat's server for update availability, but may pull your updates from a mirror server. The mirror may not be in sync with Red Hat, meaning that it hasn't gotten the update data yet. The mirror operation is not instantaneous. Most mirrors fetch update data from Red Hat once or twice a day, so there may be a lag between the time Red Hat says an updates is available and the time it physically shows up on the mirrors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - We look for things.

I have following two concerns. As I had said earlier, I have two computers (AMD 550 Mhz and P4, 1.4 Ghz) each having Fedora Core I and multiple windows partitions. High speed internet works fine on Windows and Fedora Core 1 partitions of each computer. I have netwoked (Windows) both computers successfully through ethernet. However, I do NOT know how to setup network in Fedora Core 1. Would anybody give me some idea as to how to network these two computers for Fedora Core systems Another concern. I want to be able to: (1) view and edit windows partitions "from" Fedora Core 1 partition; and (2) view and edit Fedora Core 1 partitions "from" windows partition. Each Windows partitin in each computer is FAT32 type. Linux partition in each computer is standard by default (I think, ext2 type). Any help please.... Thanks again...

You didn't say how you ran the network on both computers--via ethernet or via a dial-up or DSL modem. The program Bob mentioned should show either "eth0" (ethernet) or "ppp0" (modem) if Fedora actually found your hardware. It's pretty good at finding ethernet cards. However, if you used a "winmodem" to do dial up, you may have a problem. Out of the box, Fedora has very limited support for winmodems. There are other drivers out there, but many of the modem makers won't release specifications for their chipsets, so an open source driver may not be available. In those cases, you're best off to go spend the $40 US and buy a real, honest-to-God serial modem. They work on ANYTHING. >>Another concern.

Fedora, as distributed, only understands VFAT (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) Windows filesystems. If you have NTFS filesystems you want to play with, you must either go get a pre-compiled NTFS module or rebuild your kernel and include NTFS support in it. Note that there are two different modules--one that's read-only and one that's read-write. I do NOT recommend the read-write module. In the past it has been known to corrupt the NTFS partition beyond the ability for chkdsk to fix it. I understand the newer ones don't do that, but I'm very wary of it. >>and (2) view and edit Fedora Core 1 >>partitions "from" windows partition. > > > Windoze doesn't believe any other partitions exist. Sorry. Right. Windows understands FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS. That's it.

It will attempt to log you in with the same username as you are currently using on the RH system. If you want to do a different username, say "ssh username at hostname" . think that should work. Again, this'd be with no emulation. Someone else can probably tell you about terminal emulation. Harold > I need to run a secure session to an IBM AS400 machine.

I previously had Mozilla 1.1 (i think). Now I have 1.4.2 but there appears to be a bug in Mozilla that when you type a string in the Url: box (white box at the top) and the "search for " choice appears clicking on it does nothing. Old behavior was that a new window would open containing search results on that string. Fix for this is to go into preferences and change your default web search engine, then the search behavior will work correctly. Before I discovered the above I figured I'd have to upgrade Mozilla beyond 1.4.2 and don't see how to do that easily.

The install seemed to go OK, but on restart, after I logged in as root it didn't do anything else. After google and reading a couple of times I came up with "StartX". That gave a screen full of error message. More google and reading... I came up with "redhat-config-xfree86", That was exciting until I realized that my graphics adapter (integrated SiS 650/740) was not listed. More google and reading... I downloaded a precompiled driver from Thomas Winischhofer's site (he seems to be widely accepted as a guru for SiS items). More google and reading... I have (I think) copied it into place, but when I run XFree86 it doesn't see anything different from before the new file. As I am typing arcane command strings, I am reminded of a time in yesteryear when a friend was showing me the command (by copying it carefully from the documentation) to save a file from his NEW Commodore64 to the hard drive. I found the XFree86.0.log file, it is pasted in below. It appears to include the data for my Sis video, but still no joy. It was suggested elsewhere that I should run up2date, get registered and update XFree86. On running up2date I filled in my email and name, said RH could have info about the PC, but did not fill-in further personal info (which was labeled as optional). When I pressed ENTER to continue, it seemed to, but stopped at 20% and eventually failed. I tried several times. The first time I had indicated that XFree86 items should be updated, on successive efforts I tried other combinations, including no updates at all. I'm sure the during install I said no source in updates (since I don't know squat yet about building anything). The PC can be pinged, it can ping other hosts on the LAN and on the Internet. I forgot to mention that the PC is setup to dual boot via grub, with Win2K on a different partition. The grub menu and Win2K are working fine. I have had suggestions to "start over with Fedora" or "go to Debian"). Other suggestions anyone... Is this fixable, or should I start over?

Actually you DO need a Linux swap partition. It serves a similar function to the Windows swap file. If I were you, I'd do some Google Searches on "dual boot". I don't think you know enough yet to make a meaningful choice. I think there's a dual boot HOWTO at linuxdoc.org (or linuxdocs.org). Also, I'm not sure that you're really going to need Partition Magic to do what you want. Personally, I've sidestepped the whole dual boot issue. I use separate hard drives in removeable drive carriers. That way, I don't have to deal with the problems that Windows always introduces. I just shut down and switch drives to switch operating systems. Works MUCH better for me. The carriers are very cheap, typically as low as $9.00 a piece, including all hardware. Buy two or three so that you can just swap carriers. Use others to swap data drives if you need to.

Since it fails at 20% (after building an update list) connectivity isn't the issue, what are other high probability failure causes? Since RedHat recognizes the user id, pw and email address, I think it may be registered, but since I have made several attempts to use up2date and ALL have failed at 20%, I'm not certain. Gene In case it is relative, X won't start and xfree86 is unable to successfully configure the adapter or monitor. The monitor is listed in xfree86, but is not recognized.

When I run redhat-config-xfree86, it never displays the "new" adapter information, it does list the monitor and have selected it, set the hsync, vsync, and given it the monitor dimensions nearly every time Any suggestions for fixing this, should I start over, or should I start over with a different version?

At least, this is > what I keep telling myself . ) FAT (FAT32, actually) is what you want to use for Windoze. Linux can read and write to that just fine. It can (with a module you must add yourself) read, but not reliably write to an NTFS filesystem. See http://www.rhil.net/ for more info. For Linux, ext2 is the "second extended" filesystem. ext3 is the journaling version of ext2. Linux (as with all unices) does not immediately write data to the disk. It keeps many buffers and a cache open so that disk I/O performance is high. That means that if someone kicks the power cord out of the wall, there is a whole bunch of stuff left hanging out in the breeze that the system must sort out and make some sense of when it is booted again. That process is called fsck - filesystem check. The ext3 filesystem keeps a journal of all pending writes, and _always_ writes it, so it has a "trail of bread crumbs" to follow when it is booted again after the aforementioned scenario. That said, start with ext2 for the installation because the install kernel is known to be fragile in handling ext3 filesystems. The installed kernel will work just fine, so you can convert to an ext3 filesystem after the installation.

You don't need PM or PC. Just install Windoze first (using FAT32 filesystem), but don't let it take the whole drive. Hold back as much as you want for Linux. Then install Linux, specifying ext2 instead of (the default) ext3. As previously posted, when the install is done, convert to ext3. Oh, and when you configure the boot loader, have GRUB written to the master boot record (MBR) on /dev/hda.

I teach linux at UCLA. Till now RedHat9 was our platform, but going forward they intend to adopt RHEL at my recommendation. I've invested time over the past year or two preparing software installations, demonstrations, presentation files and such on a RedHat system from which I teach. Reinventing those customizations on a virgin, clean-slate OS installation is a non-option (simply don't and won't have the time to reconstuct and repeat my work). Exploring RHEL CDs for the first time, I understand that "Support for upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Linux from a previous version of Red Hat Linux is not included with this product." Release Notes also refer to www.redhat.com/software/linux/advanced/ on this subject but I don't easily find that discussion there. I don't want to change my mind about having the University move to RHEL for my future classes, but am not yet clear on what my chances are to be able to manage it. It rests on ability to carry my earlier work forward rather than having to discard it. Anybody know the full story of what is and isn't possible in moving from RedHat8 or 9 to RHEL without starting over?

Since it fails at 20% (after building an update list) connectivity isn't the issue, what are other high probability failure causes? Since RedHat recognizes the user id, pw and email address, I think it may be registered, but since I have made several attempts to use up2date and ALL have failed at 20%, I'm not certain. Gene In case it is relative, X won't start and xfree86 is unable to successfully configure the adapter or monitor. The monitor is listed in xfree86, but is not recognized. The adapter "SiS 650/740" is not listed in xfree86 even though it is favorably mentioned in the xfree86 log file.

You may well be right, as this info was never supplied. If the OP was able to copy the contents of the disks I would assume that the disks were correctly burned (I have of course been wrong in the past). The CDROM route is certainly worth trying first...

RHEL is a purchase-only option - you pay for the RHN and Support contracts that come with it, although I have a copy and RHN subscriptions through work, so no support contract (boo hoo). The binary versions of the software are not available for download, although the source rpms are. I pointed out that I am using some of the betas because I opted for that channel in RHN - I have entitlements for it and can usually fix any issues that dodgy buggy software causes! Fedora is more or less what RH10 would have been if they had decided to go that route. It is freely downloadable in binary form and contains almost exactly the same software as RHEL3 does - some of it in later, more 'bleeding edge' versions. the kernels for Fedora are usually more recent than those for RHEL. Fedora Core2 is due out shortly (the Roadmap suggests May 17 for the final release version. I'm looking forward to it. Some of the additions look quite exciting. ) Get out more. see http://fedora.redhat.com for details. As a home user, I would probably plump for Fedora, as opposed to RHEL, especially if you are simply trying it out. Besdies, RHEL is *expensive* for home use... >I attempted this, I posted a message a few minutes ago on the experience. >Search for (gs010419a) in the subject line. > > yes, I see it. the rpm -Fvh didn't work then? you _were_ in the same directory as the up2date-...rpm files, weren't you? >I also attempted the edit of the /etc/X11/XF86Config file.

(the -w turns off automatic hard line-wrapping which can break config files) my offer still stands on the XF86Config file - send it to me off list and I'll see what I can do if you like! ie - what resolution do you want it to work in, what monitor you have etc...

Richard Sorry I didn't respond quickly, Richard. I've been busy putting out brush fires and getting beta code in some condition we can demo it in (secret: NEVER tell your marketing department what you're working on-- they'll sell the bloody thing WAY before it's ready). As to the security model--it rather depends on what your MS network uses: DOMAIN: Your users are vetted by a Windows domain controller (WDC) somewhere on your network. If you use this model, you will need to fill in the bits that tell Samba which WDC to use. USER: Each Windows user must ALSO have an account on the Linux box. The user will be authenticated by Samba. To use this, you must set up user accounts for each Windows user, enable the "encrypt passwords = yes" option in the Samba config file, and create a smbpasswd file on the Linux machine. Creating that file requires you to have the users' cleartext passwords. NOTE: If I recall correctly, your users' names all start with a digit which is not permitted in Linux so this mode may be unavailable to you. SHARE: Permission to access a given share is controlled by the access settings on the share itself. This includes things such as "guest ok = yes", "guest user = whatever", "authorized users = " (also requires the user accounts to be created and the smbpasswd file), etc. Again, if you can tell me exactly what you're trying to do, the users involved, the WDC (if you have one) and what client types (W98, ME, that sort of thing) you have, I can try to brew up a file that'll do what you want. I'd recommend you send it to me directly (don't post it to the list) and you may wish to encrypt it. I am including my public GPG key below. -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) mQGiBDtlxWARBACk+qhJ6hiwtCQepjNG1QoNpqSfbY0gBmSUIw0CmDBq42GUzCZU eMzGzumhN/hY0PRJHrNcs/+LvDZrNyEcR5o8wi6rZVSyYZjEEbx0y7f8J0Y8tKhL nhH4o9Fj/ruLiRAp4O90Rvsc8ZiqPnt8MCswlwh5kmYZ5kMG7Pty9nmwVwCgyR3A OqGwkhGpf50pJpKA9lAJxhkD/0drjTY30D1oIsIgEIfMhsYKeqS30Onw5Fah5GRe JAFQpiiNGQ6gIwhUyNj9tNXcS1O3r4Yw0t8LwJ4mjAlpsiV4cWAnsGPl4TTt/zGv /Ioz+fAo/5fcRYBXELteWcr/TLMd3ioPUjMgIzTZog/MhpJs4hgnr+JvrSBBhsuD /yJDA/9rWQGiIvUS3WqXJLxVesmvZFKDIVkzzcgsVg87E4bxE5Ag1iKKmYMpo4RT ZKP+KLjtWTWtcEq0MDGjil9cxXYComU/wtmCbN5HrolFe1P9O2bi/DjEg3LhJIVA VNuvt/OysIhP+PzYK4bYgGa5UjXaeC7lJaIOyFGz95sLu2RjDrQwUmljayBTdGV2 ZW5zIChPZmZpY2UpIDxyc3RldmVuc0B2aXRhbHN0cmVhbS5jb20+iFcEExECABcF AjtlxWAFCwcKAwQDFQMCAxYCAQIXgAAKCRAzBJWzyVE6p649AJ9GYII7226v8vmW auyXx44lwfSBHQCfSxZYDAOm3XLG5npB0LFtbGUkqsG5AQ0EO2XFZBAEAPQDDI6F DtAVroCYzVJPmQeNnn/z/JvSSTdWpj2EseoIcajjESE7BnX3r5z4rQ9TnxiXA9Ip CnJBuJc/yFW7x+fpkHbefKpssMjjPduKWETSDFfkF3KbukJm9nL0G1AqltyG+31v so/O5hwqdFjYb2NBouKtX+mOpj0Tzemk5f3jAAMFA/4uS5A+9V6UXCdBPVOeUydR NDFYkVUqZlXH187SwyLUTB7tE0m9kWV07xkLCIaTAAZYpUsctPPSixVavDlic5N2 ac48RwokIvXl1jBWxbhod4S2bBlcOEFjUx7djwGCogJwgYdPo79kYJtvHV6fNeKe 5ooRLIF/Jbdw+k/q2qotqohGBBgRAgAGBQI7ZcVkAAoJEDMElbPJUTqn5M0AnjKR 56wPEeMx7oqH3FgUKMVaEXBGAKCZ38mrv9fY3jn1Dn2yC0YRUPAhsZkBogQ4kofk EQQA3BP/+teI1bl17RqLEOaMv9VZEjm7pRlw6kO5qihyO1Ny1xIk+yjNBlaFqI09 bYcIaqOKtIUNoYM3o2B0iG2AGzx+3cOYtfAkhPhGWRFNt9Zevxw//sEh+Eyc8x8V xSegkpbC9SlWk3MFN/8EL8Anh4BMeRAirDbcWanDBtJoJhcAoMcfKiZ4/OueiunI bnO2lh+BtyzfA/9XnMlQ8i4xkhZEDWlJMPbXfnkEC1tmp9M87J95hEfIOyiJPHSa 6EvMe7Byqp4igT5MHEgbBObEmtLS4vx4dDPJEeLUt36DtyFpSYSC9mFknxPWTGqO /GUHI+aJb361EzNaGd88vv38bDUC/HTmnMsEhyXMg4CQltgRGWCj4RiIMQP/QosA aYTcZQ5aG2BqLg+cbDU8YXdfGgQZd52QfOw/fK68BkOv4YTiJx8+6Vb2QKMQvEWa Hq7wEE8LrDePl52zsz5rwMfZfTnYtjv/76fdVaHE5fDsw+eFfIUATqn0+DhyiS9S kVHny1pQBDSRmQQU6QAM9BRt68zlXZTLCQXTbHe0J01hdHRoZXcgSiBHYWxnb2Np IDxtZ2FsZ29jaUByZWRoYXQuY29tPohVBBMRAgAVBQI4kofkAwsKAwMVAwIDFgIB AheAAAoJEAB9T/kYwkLAfaEAoIRX1aummGDARNOlzpmZTreAgdtYAJ0XBIDapKzd B7liur+Dsj9xICWKUbkBDQQ4kofuEAQAp0GVQJ2lnJJrSvHYoqa0/Wv+TaGFC/L0 tbZsEcWUTfnALZqwwOldoSvkEPLkfe/dlSqTqT5rh7tZ3CFDm+NRou9hV7DdFrhL tK/KfSAS9rf+g5ikqbftSAfzJ9QYvunz6k1/uufvwmOox44eGVIk07RTGRRawXxL CnybWBz8k2sAAwUD/1PgNhH+ek46qUnW+xyPo5cxSQ3GJLehqOs3MWv4Rhkt/I6D NM314zq2M22/OsqvKl3X+FnFb9JSL/M4EhBWxYYOpYpCbM0nB3ANCLQNpYtjNFr/ n55kV62+lWt3wysZfxb5hWmo0u6W88nqVnTe04zqLdvepfqeChkISGqwzY8OiEYE GBECAAYFAjiSh+4ACgkQAH1P+RjCQsBqCQCgmLNjBbKkoqOrYgxJsj+1MHj3RYQA n2lIZBrcAy/zqb3vSUHECap2DR8I =uptT -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Whoever said "Money can't buy friends" obviously never brought - - donuts to the office. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From acline2 at cox.net Mon Apr 19 22:33:05 2004 From: acline2 at cox.net (Aaron Cline) Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2004 23:33:05 +0100 Subject: EL 2.1 install via PXE Boot and NFS Kickstart Message-ID: <408453A1.3030709@cox.net> Hi: I've been going round and round with a problem for the last few days and I'm hoping someone out here can help.

The proper driver to download from Broadcom is the bcm5700-7.1.22.zip (or whatever it's called). To build the driver, as the root user: 1. Download the .zip file to a scratch directory 2. Make sure you're running the kernel you're targeting AND that you have downloaded and installed the kernel source RPM. 3. Do "cd /usr/src/linux-2.4" 4. Do "make mrproper" 5. Do "cp /boot/config-(kernelversion) .config" Replace "(kernelversion)" with your kernel version, e.g. cp /boot/config-2.4.21-9.0.1.ELsmp .config (yes, that's "dot-config" in the "/usr/src/linux-2.4" directory) 6. Edit the Makefile in /usr/src/linux-2.4 and change the "EXTRAVERSION=" parameter to match the last bit you get from the "uname -r" command (get rid of the "custom" bit), e.g.: WAS: EXTRAVERSION = -9.0.1.ELcustom CHANGE TO: EXTRAVERSION = -9.0.1.ELsmp 7. Do "make oldconfig;make dep" 8. "cd" to the scratch directory where you downloaded the driver to. 9. Do "unzip bcm5700-7.1.22.zip" 10. Do "cd linux" 11. Do "tar xzf bcm5700-7.1.22.tar.gz" 12. Do "cd bcm5700-7.1.22/src" 13. Do "make" to build the driver. Watch for errors. If you get them, the odds are you didn't do the "make mrproper" in /usr/src/linux-2.4 before you did the "make oldconfig;make dep". 14. To test it, make sure you have done "ifconfig eth0 down" and unloaded the bcm5700 or tg3 driver that was loaded (use the "rmmod" command). Then, "insmod bcm5700.o". 15. If you get no errors, do a "lsmod" and verify that the bcm5700 module is loaded. If it is, try "ifconfig eth0 up" and verify you can ping your gateway. 16. If that all checks out, do "make install", edit your /etc/modules.conf file to make sure you have "alias eth0 bcm5700". Do a final "depmod -a" and you should be ready to reboot with the new driver. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "More hay, Trigger?"

Are you certain the display name is HostA:0.0? Sometimes they're just HostA:0 (no decimal point). On HostA, "echo $DISPLAY" and make sure HostB uses that ID.

On current RedHat CDs (> Ver 6.2) there is an /image/pxeboot/ directory. Inside that directory is a vmlinuz kernel and a ram disk. I'm trying to insert a module compiled with the method described by Mr. Stevens into the ram disk. I feel that I am doing everything mostly right, but I must be missing something. Here's what I've done: 1. Gunzip'd the initrd.img and mounted the resulting file using a loop device. 2. Copied out the modules/modules.cgz from the mounted initrd. 3. Decompressed the modules.cgz using zcat and cpio 4. Put my new module into the resulting directory structure. 5. Recreated the modules.cgz from the new data with my module. 6. Copied the new modules.cgz into the initrd mount. 7. Edited the pcitable and module-info in the module/ directory on the initrd mount. 8. I can boot from the kernel via PXE successfully but the module does not get inserted correctly. Unfortunately, no error is produced. I borrowed the above info from several web-documents that dealt with putting a third party driver onto a disk for booting. I'm guessing that the two processes are slightly different. Anyone have any experience with this?

Yes, if the 4GB partition for Red Hat actually exists and is NOT set currently as a linux partition (type 83), delete it and restart the install. Anaconda (the installer program) will try to reuse partitions set as type 83 (linux) and 82 (linux swap). If it can't find any, it tries to use unassigned space to create a type 83 partition in. In your case, it is actually complaining that it can't find any free space on your drive, which is true if you really have partitions set up that occupy the whole disk and none are type 83. If you delete the RH9 partition, anaconda will see the free 4GB and create a type 83 partition in it. Yes, it's a misleading error message. > > Additional Info: > Since my bootable IDE CD-ROM drive is failing, I am booting from a > floppy and installing from the RH9 CDs on the USB CD-ROM drive. > > System info: > Compaq 300MHz Celeron > 256MB memory > 8GB drive single partition for WindowsXP > 13GB drive 4 partitions > - 4GB for Red Hat 9 > - 500MB swap partition > - 4GB for Mandrake 10.0 > - 4.5GB for a shared /home for both Linux > Failing IDE CD-ROM drive > Working USB CD-ROM drive > > Txs, > \JonG > > > _______________________________________________ > 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 - - - - IGNORE that man behind the keyboard! - - - The Wizard of OS - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From goijiud at hotmail.com Tue Apr 20 17:16:59 2004 From: goijiud at hotmail.com (GoijI P) Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 13:16:59 -0400 Subject: xterm error question Message-ID: just found out telnet to hostA from HostB fails. could this be cause of xterm failure?. i checked some settings , not sure why telnet from hostB to hostA fails but other way it works. same thing with ssh. >From: Aaron Cline >Reply-To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > >To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux >Subject: Re: xterm error question >Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 17:28:25 +0100 > >Also, the portmapping service must be turned on.

In-Reply-To: <40855493.8050701@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: Rick, I am trying to install a linux partition. On the first attempt the partition was already a linux partition that was created by Mandrake's partition tool. I just used Disk Druid to format the partition to delete the old junk there. Later I used Disk Druid to delete, create, format and set the partition's mount point as the root. Same results. Another reason I am sure that the install program thinks it is a Linux partition is that install copies some install files to the partition. When I reboot in Mandrake and look at the partition, I find the partition as it should be, a 4GB linux partition with 20KB of used space. For someone reason the install is just getting confused about the partition size.

Uh, what? You're contradicting yourself there. Which of the following work? HostA --> telnet --> HostB HostB --> telnet --> Host A Also remember that, by default, telnet is disabled on Red Hat. You must enable it by use of redhat-config-services or ntsysv or by manually tweaking the xinetd.d files and sending xinetd a SIGHUP. For X to work, the portmapper must be running on the X server machine and you must not block the ports used via iptables (yet another security risk over and above using telnet). We HIGHLY recommend that you NEVER, EVER use telnet. It is an incredibly insecure protocol and one of the easiest to hack and break into a system. You should use ssh and use X forwarding under it. You only need to have the ssh port (port 22) open on your firewall to use it that way. All X data is therefore encrypted and passed through the ssh tunnel. FAR more secure. >> From: Aaron Cline >> Reply-To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux >> >> To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux >> Subject: Re: xterm error question >> Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 17:28:25 +0100 >> >> Also, the portmapping service must be turned on.

HostA and HostB are on the same network and not separated by a firewall? You want to run an app on HostB and redirect the output to HostA, but when you log into HostB and do export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0 and then run the app you get nothing (you also do a xhost + on HostA previous to running the app). You currently cannot telnet or ssh from HostB to HostA? You currently CAN telnet from HostA to HostB, what about ssh? If you can ssh from HostA to HostB, try the 'xhost +' on HostA then 'ssh -X user at HostB' , then run the app on HostB. ssh -X should work even if you are separated by a firewall, but export DISPLAY will not.

The telnet daemon is probably not running. If you read my post, you'll see that telnet is disabled by default. You can see if it's listening by doing "netstat -lpn | grep :23". If you get no output, telnet isn't listening and you'll need to use one of those commands I mentioned to start it (redhat-config-services, ntsysv, or manually tweaking the xinetd.d files and sending xinetd a SIGHUP). If you configured a firewall, you must also make sure your machine will accept connections from TCP port 23 and (optionally) UDP port 23. Again, if you can avoid it, NEVER, EVER use telnet. Use ssh instead of telnet and enable X forwarding in the ssh server if you need X clients on the remote machine to use the X server on your local machine. ssh is standard equipment with Linux. IMHO, telnet should be purged. And before you get confused, the concept of X server and client are reversed from what you normally think. The X server is the machine with the keyboard, mouse and display. The X client is the program that makes use of those, and is normally on the remote machine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "The bogosity meter just pegged." - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Apr 20 18:52:54 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 11:52:54 -0700 Subject: Disk space issue during install.

Or is it me ? Well, leaving the confusion issue out of it, when you deleted the Linux partition and told diskdruid to use that unallocated space, did you also tell it to make it "/" and to format it? Did you also tell it to NOT use the other Linux partitions (including the swap partition)?

I used Disk Druid to: - Delete partition - Create partition - format partition - set mount point of partition to "/". I did not tell Disk Druid not to use the other partitions (not sure how to do this). This may be the source of the problem. Nothing jumped out at me as something I had to do. I kind of got led down the golden path of setting the partition as root and going forward. If install was trying to use the swap partition, then this is an install problem as it clearly said the swap partition was swap when if formated it. The other partition to be come "/home" is the more likely canidate. The amount of free space on /home would make sense with the amount of extra space it was telling me it needed. \JonG On Tuesday, April 20, 2004, at 02:52 PM, Rick Stevens wrote: > Jon Goodridge wrote: >> Rick, >> I am trying to install a linux partition.

IIRC, the partitions the system will try to install to are marked with an "x" in one of the columns, but I won't swear to it (haven't done an install on a pre-formatted disk in a while). I suppose it is possible that DD is seeing another partition labeled "/" or "/home" and is trying to make use of it. You might take a look at the other virtual consoles (CTRL-ALT-F1 through -F4) and see exactly which filesystem is causing the problem. > On Tuesday, April 20, 2004, at 02:52 PM, Rick Stevens wrote: > >> Jon Goodridge wrote: >> >>> Rick, >>> I am trying to install a linux partition.

As far as I know, no. You're only allowed one "%post" in a config file. To get around it, you could put the commands you want to execute in the chrooted environment into a script that's on the target drive. Then you can "%post --nochroot" and do what you want. At the end, you could "chroot /mnt/sysimage /your-chrooted-script" to do your chrooted stuff. When that script ends, you're back in the non-chrooted environment. I think that'll work--but I've never tried it.

I'll try it > from the /spool/ folder. The top-level directory (NEVER say "folder" to Linux people ;-)) that up2date feeds is /var/spool/up2date. If you want to update RPMs fetched via up2date, as root: # cd /var/spool/up2date # rpm -Fvh *.rpm or # rpm -Fvh /var/spool/up2date/*.rpm The option "v" means be verbose. The "h" means to print hash characters as the update proceeds. The main controlling letter is: "-F" "Freshen". This means "update ONLY if an older version of the RPM has been installed". "-U" "Update". This means "replace older versions with this new one, and if an old one doesn't exist, install this one." This is a subtle behaviour that many people don't expect, so be careful. "-i" "install". Install this RPM if some version of it hasn't been installed yet. It will not install if a newer version has already been installed or if it conflicts with something else already installed. WARNING: Never "rpm -Uvh" any kernel RPMs unless you want to lose your current kernel. Only use "rpm -ivh" on kernel RPMs. This has bitten many, many people. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - When in doubt, mumble. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From acline2 at cox.net Tue Apr 20 23:07:05 2004 From: acline2 at cox.net (Aaron Cline) Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 00:07:05 +0100 Subject: Kickstart Post Commands In-Reply-To: <4085A5A5.4020502@vitalstream.com> References: <4085A002.8090306@cox.net> <4085A5A5.4020502@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <4085AD19.5090807@cox.net> Rick Stevens wrote: > Aaron Cline wrote: > >> Hey all: >> >> Can I do two areas of %post? >> >> I'd like to do '%post --nochroot' to copy some stuff from the >> network, and then some '%post' regular to do some driver compiling >> and installing. >> >> Is this possible? > > > As far as I know, no.

This happens after Host A is connected to Host B via telnet and after done setenv ,,, xhost + ,,,, xterm etc. i cd to path that an HostB executable is and try to execute it remotely from HostA's xterm session but i get "command not found". From Host B consol i run same command within same path , no problem. Tried "HostBexe" or "./HostBexe" from HostA, no difference.

All devices were detected and installed correctly the only problems I am having are with my PCMCIA network card (Realtek RTL 8139 based). Firstly on boot the kernel attempts to load the 8139cp driver which fails suggesting I use the 8139too driver. If after booting if I attempt to bring the interface up the 8139too driver gets installed without complaint. I do not understand why a different driver is selected here, can anyone enlighten me on this point? Secondly configuration by DHCP sometimes fails sometimes doesn't. If I bring the interface up using manual configuration then pinging any other device on my network yields anywhere between 20 and 70% packet loss. This will not even support a telnet session. Investigation into this problem has shown me that all my devices are being piled on IRQ 5 and believe this could be part of my problem. I tried adding exclude irq 5 to my /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia/config.opts file but this appears to be ignored. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me with either of these point? More details (lspci, dmesg, /var/log/messages) can be provided upon request.

I plan to reinstall linux on the new drive after I install it; I just don't want to screw up and lose access to my windows drive during the removal and replacement process.

It will eventually prompt you to "repair" the boot sequence. When it does this, Windows will now boot. Unfortunately, how the repair process works varies from Windows version to version, so the best advice I can give you is to search the MS knowledgebase (microsoft.com). I've done it a bunch of times; it's simple the 2nd time you do it. :0) Hope this helps.

It's just that this particular exchange is pretty indicative of, well, I guess what I want to say is, "Everything that's wrong with Usenet", but that's neither accurate nor fair. It's very difficult to follow a "conversation" when answers are given before questions are asked. It's very (time-consuming, expensive, tedious, annoying) unnecessary to read every word exchanged again (repeatedly) to then see 2 or 3 words added. It's very difficult to follow attributions and dialog exchange after a metric ton of HTML markup tags have had their abusive way with several divergent attempts at formatting. The (N)etiquette which has been adopted over years of internet exchange is not simply "how your parents did things". It speeds and clarifies the exchange of information. It's easier to read and understand text-only posts which originate with less than 70 characters so there is room to intersperse pertinent comment in a logical, conversational flow. I know that saying these things could generate some unhappy dialog and that's very unfortunate, but sometimes it just bears saying. There are some very, very knowledgeable folk out there, who are happy to be of help. But they are generally members of more than one or two mailing lists or newsgroups, and they are generally also looking for answers as well as giving them. And you can bet that most of them are also trying to keep paying the rent, so the answers only come when the job permits. So, when you've got an hour a day and potentially a thousand or more bits to read, ... The truth be told, it's rude not to follow what's recognized as standard posting procedure in mailing lists or newsgroups. But it's also counterproductive. If you have a problem and somebody who can solve it is never made aware of it because of the form your query took, well, nobody wins there, do they? Again, this isn't directed to Andy or Steve, and no offense is meant to anybody. But is it really impossible to take part in the 'net as the 'net would have you do it?

You might look at the dd command which will transfer a bootable image. If you have a spare hard drive same size or larger you can use dd or Norton Ghost (newer versions) to clone your drive. Recovery is then simply switching drives and restoring data. Norton Ghost will let you burn the drive image to CDs. It is then possible to restore a bootable system from the CD set. I've done this (CDs), for Windows recovery, but haven't tried it for Linux. I assume it (CDs) would work. -- Nix > > CW4 Steven M.

I don't know why the 8139cp is being selected since it's not listed in /etc/pcmcia/config, but the 8139too works for me just fine (granted that it's not a PCMCIA card in my machine but built-in on the PCI bus). Edit your /etc/modules.conf file and modify the "alias eth0 8139cp" line to read "alias eth0 8139too".

Judging by your description, you're booting up with the card in place already. Try booting with the card unplugged, wait for the system to come up, THEN plug the card in and see if it behaves differently. I rather believe that that file is only consulted if the card is plugged in after the machine is up, but I've never delved deeply into the sequence of events of PCMCIA card insertion. I have a similar config, but everything lives on IRQ 11 (eth0, wlan0, USB, firewire, audio accelerator and the cardbus bridges). I doubt that is your problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 Richard.Wesa at ge.com Wed Apr 21 16:22:24 2004 From: Richard.Wesa at ge.com (Wesa, Richard (GE Consumer & Industrial)) Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 11:22:24 -0500 Subject: Linux Visibility on Microsoft Network Message-ID: <971323274247EB44B9A01D0A3B424C85086ABEBE@FTWMLVEM02.e2k.ad.ge.com> It seems as though I must join the Redhat 9.0 server to our domain.

Nope. You can create a bootable floppy via "mkbootdisk". If you boot from that floppy after dying, you can then restore from a tape. The only way to make the disk bootable again is to restore /boot and /sbin (and /etc if you're using lilo), then rerun the boot loader install (either "grub-install" or "lilo"). You can also use many different ghosting programs to copy exact images of your running system to backup hard drives. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed Apr 21 16:32:10 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 09:32:10 -0700 Subject: last thing question In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4086A20A.2030203@vitalstream.com> GoijI P wrote: > well, since security is not an issue for my small network, i use telnet > (bad as something getting used to) to connect local HostA to remote > HostB.

A telnet login is NOT the same as a direct login. If you telnet to the machine and log in, the path will be different than if you logged into the machine directly from a console and the PATH variables will be set differently. In the telnet session, try "echo $PATH" and compare that output with "echo $PATH" from a console login. You'll see they're different. And if the program you want to run is not in the list of directories shown in "echo $PATH", the system can't find the program to run. You can get by this by, in the telnet session, running the command by specifying the entire path to the program: # /usr/bin/program-to-run or by: # cd /usr/bin # ./program-to-run (the "./" means "run a program in the current directory"). > From Host B > consol i run same command within same path , no problem.

Actually, you need to create a machine account for the Samba server in your domain: 1. You need to stop the nmbd and smbd daemons on the Samba machine (you can use swat to do this). 2. Use the "Server Manager" utility on the PDC to create a machine account for the Samba server. When the server manager asks for the machine name, use the NETBIOS name of the Samba server--NOT the FQDN DNS name (e.g. "HOSTNAME" not "HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.COM") 3. On the Samba server, create a machine password so the system can join the domain. If the domain is called "MYDOMAIN" and the PDC's NETBIOS name is "MYPDC": # smbpasswd -j MYDOMAIN -r MYPDC 4. Make sure the [global] section of your smb.conf file contains this data: security = domain domain logins = yes workgroup = MYDOMAIN password server = MYPDC (again, you can use swat to do this, but you must go to the GLOBALS display and set the view to ADVANCED). 5. Restart nmbd and smbd to get the Samba server to join the domain. P.S. I am working on your configuration. I should have it by Friday. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - When all else fails, try reading the instructions. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed Apr 21 17:09:02 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 10:09:02 -0700 Subject: last thing question In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4086AAAE.6050407@vitalstream.com> GoijI P wrote: >> or by: # cd /usr/bin # ./program-to-run > > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > > this is excatly what i did. i got "command not found".

Have you installed the php rpm?? If not please follow the instructions for option 1 detailed below. Samantha, OK, I'm no guru so if anything I say is wrong I hope that I am corrected by someone. RPMs are used to allow users to install software without worrying about compiling or setting up startup scripts etc. If you compile manually then rpm -q will not show the package because you have not installed an RPM file. The 2 procedures are independent i.e. you cannot update a manually compiled application with RPM and you cannot change compilation flags of an RPM. You have to choose one or the other not both. Therefore your 2 options are 1) remove your manually compiled version and reinstall the RPM version a) I'm not sure if there is a "make uninstall" option for apache and php if not you could try "rm -rf /www" as root b) if "rpm -q httpd" shows that it is installed run "rpm -e httpd" to be sure you now have a clean system c) Run "rpm -Uhv httpd-2.0...rpm" d) Run "rpm -Uhv php-4.3.4...rpm" e) If this is the same as my Fedora install the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf has a line along the lines of "Include conf.d/*.conf" you should therefore also find a directory /etc/httpd/conf.d containing about 6 files one of them being php.conf where you should find the appropriate LoadModule line. In which case all is well and you can start developing. 2) Make sure RPM isn't installed add change all relevant config files RTFM - FIRST READ THE FILES "./httpd_xxx/INSTALL" and "./php-xxx/INSTALL" these tell you *everything* you need to know to install apache with php support a) if "rpm -q httpd" shows that it is installed run "rpm -e httpd" to be sure you will not have any conflicts with your manual install b) probably wise to reinstall your manual compiled version if you have since had the RPM installed c) Edit the file /www/conf/httpd.conf to include the appropriate LoadModule entries as documented in the php INSTALL file d) You can test that everything works by executing "/www/bin/apachectl start" e) To control this via the services panel you need to create a script called httpd in the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory details of this file should be found in the httpd INSTALL file if I remember correctly (it's been a few months since I did this) f) All should be set up correctly I strongly recommend taking option 1. The only reason I would go for option 2 is if you needed a PHP module compiling in that is not in the RPM'd version but this is highly unlikely HTH Jon -----Original Message----- From: Samantha [mailto:sami379 at email.it] Sent: Donnerstag, 22.

I finally got RH9 to load by deleting the partition and letting install set up what it wanted in the free space. I ended up with a 100MB "/boot" and a 3.9GB root "/" partition. Does Red Hat require /boot to be separate partition from "/" ? Anyway I was able to install RH9, but it would not boot. Most likely I have something wrong in lilo.conf. linux on /boot went fine, but then I kept getting read-only on "/". I now have more serious problems. I decided to delete the install (it was a minimum install for testing anyway). I deleted the RH9 partition. Now my partition table has become corrupted. Disk Druid can't read it and bombs. I put osl2000 on the drive just to see if it could read the partition table. osl2000 saw the Mandrake 10.0 partitions, however, when I tried to boot Mandrake lilo gave me: "L99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99........." for about 1/3 of the screen and then died. So are there any partition wizards out there who can help ?

With Mandrake in the mix, the odds are that your RH system is trying to mount Mandrake's "/" (depends on if Mandrake set up filesystem labels and lilo picked up Mandrake's instead of RH's. > I now have more serious problems.

Sounds like a partition didn't start or end on a cylinder boundry. An "L" followed by digits usually indicates a geometry problem between what lilo thinks and what the BIOS reports.

Try giving us the output of "df -h". There is no way that "/" has 4GB of stuff in it--that must include all of the partitions mounted under it.

When I add the -i -n, it blows me off the system. If you must do this, use "ttyS1" not "/dev/ttyS1" (see the man page). Also, the use of "-n" will prevent the system from determining the parity character size, stop bit or end-of-line handling and will default to space parity, 7-bit characters, 2 stop bits, and CR eol handling (can you say ancient UUCP settings?). The software should open the serial port and verify that you have the farking dongle installed. You shouldn't have to do anything like spawn a getty to the serial port or log into the thing. It's just a "proof of purchase", anti-pirating geegaw. If you have to tell the software which serial port the thing is on, the first serial port (COM1 in the DOS world) is /dev/ttyS0, the second (COM2) is /dev/ttyS1. If you're telling us that you have to plug a serial terminal into the dongle and log in that way to use the package, hoo boy! I'd really get on the morons who wrote it and tell them that this is the 21st century and we like GUIs to develop code in. Requiring one to use a VT100 or ADM-3 over a serial port to use their software is spectacularly stupid. That is 1970's technology. 90% of the companies that used such silly things (dongles, key disks, etc.) are long-since dead.

Always reboot immediately after a kernel upgrade. That way you are sure to catch stuff like this. One of the biggest problems I have seen in my career are changes that people make on a running system that don't follow through and update the corresponding config files, regardless if the system is a linux box or a cisco router. :) Whenever you do major surery on a machine, it is always good to make sure it passes the reboot test and comes up configured as you would expect.

Of course this is not > always possible :\ It still surprises me how often experienced admins can get caught flat-footed by something like this. It's necessarily humbling. In fact, I'll admit that I had to eat one myself just the other day. A script kiddie on a windows box tried to get at two of my servers a few weeks ago. A quick check showed me that the only thing that got in were the log entries of the attempt and, after losing his trail in a pool of addresses held by a Korean ISP, I gave up and forgot the whole thing. Weeks later I rebooted one of the servers and when it was back up, I couldn't get in. NONE of my accounts were getting access. I flashed on the probe from before and started kicking myself about letting a root kit get past me or something equally stupid. Luckily, although it's a remote server, I have serial access to it through another server, and the ability to force it to reboot regardless of its condition via yet another server. (great farm, that) So, I figured I'd attach to serial, force a reboot to single user and reset the root password, push my logs off for later intense scrutiny and then rebuild the machine. I was grousing about the work and the delay to a project for which this particular server was rather important and pretty much whining "why me" to the world at large when my serial connection was established and I was presented with a prompt that I recognized but wasn't expecting to see. And then it clicked. That server was delivered with SuSE on it originally. I needed RH 9 on that particular box and when I'd installed it, I'd left the SuSE intact and bootable on a 10 Gig partition. It didn't get in the way and I didn't see any reason to kill it. Yes, well... during the build of the RH box I'd kept booting by talking to the loader during the boot, and had left the SuSE OS as default. I'd figured, if I'm interrupted or whatever, at least an unstable or unsafe system won't go up unattended. So, ages later, I'd forgotten all about not having changed the default boot image and was feeling a bit freaky when I couldn't get at my server. Humble is good.

Everything is ALWAYS under the "/" directory (that's why it's called "root" :-) ). The question is whether things such as "/usr" are simple directories or mountpoints where other filesystems are mounted. In my example at the bottom of this post, you can see that /usr, /var, /images and /work are separate filesystems. A similar table for the running system to yours would show: [root at prophead /]# du -hs 52G . [root at prophead /]# du -hs * 5.5M bin 4.5M boot 428K dev 42M etc 0 home (symlink to /usr/home) 35G images 85M lib 16K lost+found 4.0K misc 20K mnt 4.0K oldsys 4.0K opt 515M proc 1.9M root 17M sbin 52K tftpboot 684K tmp 12G usr 775M var 3.3G work So one would think 52G is in "/", when in reality, only 773M is actually in "/" (see my table below). The rest is in filesystems MOUNTED under "/". This is why you must be really clear about the differences between directories and filesystems. > I added another line for clarification. > Thanks for pointing out the confusion of the table.

But I would copy the small disk to the large disk, make sure it works by itself (boots, runs), the do an upgrade by booting the CD. Fedora Core 1 is precious little more than RH 10, so an upgrade is fairly painless. If you choose to install FC1 instead, don't restore /home until after the install is complete and you have created the users with the same UIDs as on the old drive.

Otherwise the overall layout and everything is pretty much the same under Fedora as it was under Redhat. For all intent and purposes Fedora IS Redhat, so Fedora Core 1 is basically what Redhat 10 or 11 would have been. As far as saving stuff I didn't have to in this case as it was a virgin install on this machine. Minimally you'd probably want to save your /home directories and anything else that is unique of containing specialized config files or data. You should have no problem with Fedora as is essentially is redhat. I am sure you'll like it. mylar On Sat, 2004-04-24 at 11:33, David Cartwright wrote: > I am about to go Fedora.

You didn't get me directly--you posted to the list ;-) There are some ADSL modems that work fine with Linux and some that don't, just as there are some winmodems that work and others that won't. Keep in mind that this is not just a Red Hat issue--it's a general Linux issue with manufacturers not helping an open source solution. If you can be a bit more specific, we might be able to help more.

It's not uncommon for gdm to have an issue like that. A restart of gdm usually fixes it. That can be accomplished by: 1.

Works fine, except for the video card I put in the stupid thing (bought an ATI Radeon 9600SE and didn't notice the "SE" on the box! DOH!) The card shows up under two PCI IDs: 1002:4151 and 1002:4171 and is identified as a Radeon 9600 AQ with a 350RV chipset. If you should decide to get one of these cards, be forewarned that the card is NOT supported under XFree86 4.3.0's "radeon" driver (Fedora and RH8.0/RH9). For 32-bit environments, ATI does have a pretty good driver on their website, so download and install it. For full functionality, you will need the kernel source RPM installed and (I think) configured (through the "make dep" stage), but you do NOT need to build a kernel for it. This will NOT work for the AMD64 version. ATI supplies part of the driver kit as a static library that has been linked for a 32-bit environment only. I haven't had time to see if I can come up with options to use to convince the compiler and linker to deal with this situation (e.g. build a 32-bit driver on the 64-bit system). Note that this card IS supported by the XFree86 4.4.0 "radeon" driver (only provides accelerated 2D operation). Building XFree86 is not a trivial task (I did it this weekend--just to see how good it is). This is just a heads-up, people.

I would have thought that the 4th SCSI drive would have been fdisk /dev/sdd a=1 b=2 c=3 d=4 etc... However, it's possible that if you manually set up SCSI IDs that one of two things happened: 1) You have the new drive on SCSI ID=2 and an older drive also on ID=2. In this case neither drive will work. Check to make sure they are not assigned to the same value. 2) If you assigned the drive manually to a high value, like ID=7, then the drive might be at /dev/sdg. Adjust the /sdX part as needed. 3) If the drive is automagically assigned its ID then you jsut have to fine it. NOTE: You cannout mount the drive until fdisk can find it, you partition it and probably you want to label it to keep things straight in the future. > > My confusion is that I already have partitions (devices?) that start > with sda... > > > # fdisk -l > > Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 6637 cylinders > Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes > > Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux Are these not partitions on the same drive?

OK, so that means I don't have the skillset to help. 1) If something is supposed to automatically find this drive and add it to the RAID without you doing anything then that sounds dangerous. 2) From your fstab below it is clear that you are making extensive use of labeled partitions. Only sda11 and sda10 are mounted by pure SCSI numbers. Everything else is mounted by label. You might try running sfdisk -s which should list the partitions of all disks it can find. MAybe you'll spot a new /dev/sdX number. Run it with the new drive powered up and powered down to look for differences. However, if the drive isn't partitioned at all then I don't think it's going to find anything. > > # cat fstab > LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 > LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 > none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 > LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 > LABEL=/opt /opt ext3 defaults 1 2 > none /proc proc defaults 0 0 > none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 > LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 > LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 > LABEL=/usr/local /usr/local ext3 defaults 1 2 > LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2 > /dev/sda11 /bb ext3 defaults > 1 2 > /dev/sda10 swap swap defaults 0 0 > /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 > noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 > /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 > > From rmckeever at earthlink.net Mon Apr 26 22:56:36 2004 From: rmckeever at earthlink.net (rmck) Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 15:56:36 -0700 (GMT-07:00) Subject: Default install mysqld Message-ID: <33352222.1083020197458.JavaMail.root@ernie.psp.pas.earthlink.net> Hi, I have installed the default WS 3.0.

But I have not found anything related to ftp > or wu-ftp. I am assuming you want to set up an ftp server here. I don't use ES 2.1, but in Redhat 9 vsftpd is what is used, not wu-ftp. The place the config file lives is /etc/vsftpd I assume that will be the same for you. There are two more files for access restriction that reside in /etc they are vsftpd.ftpusers and vsftpd.user_list > Please share your experience on how to set it up. please be noted that > whenever i try to initiate the ftp client connection, it errors out with > "Error: 10036, connection refused" For setup I would consult the documentation that can be found on RedHat's site specific to your installation and Googling for 'vsftpd setup RedHat'. The error sounds like you have an ftp server started already. Try the 'services vsftpd status' command and see if you get anything. This is assuming that vsftpd ships with ES 2.1. With no server running here I get the Error--- ftp: Connect: Connection refused. I hope this sends you in the right direction. I am just starting out on the learning curve in my spare time (Whats that?).

After the system > boots up, we can't find the drive to partition it. How do I find it? Examine the /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages files. In /var/log/dmesg, you should see something like this for EACH SCSI drive in your machine: (scsi0:A:0): 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz DT|IU|RTI|QAS, 16bit) Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAP3147NC Rev: 0105 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 blk: queue c4693818, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff) scsi0:A:0:0: Tagged Queuing enabled. Depth 32 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 SCSI device sda: 287132440 512-byte hdwr sectors (147012 MB) ^ |-- Take note of that Look in that bunch of messages to look for the vendor name and model of the drive you're looking for. If you don't see it, then there's something going on with your SCSI configuration. If you do see it, note own the stuff I indicated above. That's the name under "/dev" for the raw device (the above example is "/dev/sda"). Some SCSI notes: 1. On SCSI-I and SCSI-II (8-target) buses, typically the controller is SCSI ID 7 and you may NOT set a device's ID to that value. 2. On SCSI-III and later (16-target) buses, the controller is also usually SCSI ID 7, but may be SCSI ID 15, depending on the vendor. You may not set a device's ID to the same as the SCSI controller, EVER. 3. Verify your bus termination. The devices at the ENDS of the bus must be terminated, NOTHING ELSE may be terminated. Controllers are generally terminated and should be at one end of the cable. The drive at the other end should also be terminated and the termination disabled on all other drives. 4. If you must put the controller in the middle of a cable, you must get into the SCSI BIOS and disable the controller's termination, then make sure the devices at the end of the cable are terminated. 5. Make sure of your cable and its length. SCSI is rarely reliable if the cable length goes above 1 meter in length (~3 feet). Hope that helps a bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Death is nature's way of dropping carrier - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Apr 27 17:39:12 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 10:39:12 -0700 Subject: can't boot after a problem-less installation of redhat ES 2.1 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <408E9AC0.6060408@vitalstream.com> Naeem Shah wrote: > Hi All, > > I am trying to install redhat ES 2.1 to a P-3 intel pentium PC with 256 RAM > and 40 GB hd.

Disable apm at the boot command line. If you're using grub, add "noapm" to the end of the "kernel" line. If using LILO, hit "CTRL-X" at the RedHat screen and enter "linux noapm". If that solves it, add "noapm" to the end of the "kernel" line in /boot/grub/grub.conf for the kernel you're running. If you use lilo, edit /etc/lilo.conf and add: append="noapm" to the end of the stanza describing your kernel and rerun lilo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Veni, Vidi, VISA: I came, I saw, I did a little shopping. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Apr 27 17:39:57 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 10:39:57 -0700 Subject: having problem with FTP connection In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <408E9AED.7050504@vitalstream.com> Naeem Shah wrote: > Hi professionals, > > I am new to redhat.

My current ISP is offering a $A19.95 monthly 256K ADSL plan which is only $A3.00 more than I pay for a dial-up plan. Take into account the phone call savings and its almost par. Sounds too good to be true but this ISP has a pretty good track record. They offer a 'free' ADSL modem (which i guess is bound to be a USP device). Freebies usually turn out to be worth exactly what one paid for them so I am a little skeptical. You made a point previously that it is usually better to buy one's own modem in these cases > > If you can be a bit more specific, we might be able to help more. Is > there a reason you're going with RH8.0 and not RH9 or Fedora? Laziness! I have had the 3 CD set from my RH9 Linux Bible for quite some time but I just haven't thought it necessary to upgrade. My system is extremely reliable and does everything I need. I can though if necessary for reliability. I am waiting for FC2 to come out and then I am planning to change hats. I don't have an ethernet adapter in my machine but they are so cheap these days that I can easily install one. I guess the question I am asking is "Given the right modem does RH8 have any trouble connecting to the internet via ADSL?"

Essentially, the usb-serial will get loaded to talk to the modem, which makes the modem appear at the /dev/ttyUSB0 serial port.

There are some other considerations: I dont think reiserfs supports quotas for example. Also reiserfs doesn't seem to handle crashes very well - Ive seen text files turned into grabage after a crash.

Ah, a bit of information you studiously left out. If it's a hardware RAID and you're going to use this drive to make the array larger then yes, you need to add the drive to the array. We thought you were just trying to attach another SCSI drive. tar and cpio work just the same on Linux as on AIX, Solaris, HP/UX, you name it. You can back up to a tape or a CD or whatever you want. There's a backup system installed on your Linux machine called "amanda" that will do your backup for you. Do a "man amanda" for details. I use it to back up to DAT and/or DLT. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed Apr 28 16:52:28 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2004 09:52:28 -0700 Subject: Login Problem In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <408FE14C.1070202@vitalstream.com> brad.mugleston at comcast.net wrote: > Rick and gang, > > I lost the origional email so I'm going to repeat myself here. > > I changed the resolution on my screen and now the graphical login > screen is all waco -the characters are about 1/4 screen high. > > Rick suggested I do the following from a standard console > > "kill `pidof gdm`" > > "telinit 3" then "telinit 5" > > reboot > > I tried that and got an error on the "Kill" I did it with and > with out the single quote "`" (the one next to the #1 key).

Those cause the shell to run the command enclosed in the graves and return the data spit to stdout to the rest of the command. So kill `pidof gdm` first causes the shell to run "pidof gdm" (which displays the process ID of the "gdm" program). The PID is passed to "kill" to shut down gdm.

Thought you'd like to know before > you get whonked by this little gotcha. UPDATE: There is no way to force XFree 4.3.0's "radeon" driver to handle the card. On my ASUS mobo, the 9600SE shows up as PCI bus IDs 1:0.0 and 1:0.1. No amount of fiddling with the "BusID" options in XF86Config will get the card to work. If you set up "Device" entries for both BusIDs, the result is "No Device section for PCI ID 1:0:1". If you comment out the section for 1:0:0, you get "No Device found". The "ChipID" options result in "Not valid for this driver" errors. Grrrr! As I said, XFree86 4.4.0 worked pretty well and the radeon driver handles the card with no problem. There were some strange things with a couple of desktop applets (gkrellkm took way too much CPU for example and I'm not sure what's causing that--just could be a 32-bit app hitting a 64-bit machine). Building 4.4.0 results in just 64-bit libraries being built and I haven't sorted out how to get it to build 32-bit libraries as well. As a result, some things such as Mozilla (which is shipped as a 32-bit app) will not run as it can't find a 32-bit version of libX11m.so. To get around this, I downloaded the source for Mozilla 1.6 and tried to build it as a 64-bit app, but the build will not work as the source does not recognize any of the compiler predefines for the AMD64 architecture and quits in a huff. Tweaking that will take time (I'm not a Mozilla developer, so I have to analyze just how it's built and deal with each oopsie individually) and I don't know how much time I can devote to it right now (my daytime job has kept me hopping).

That looks like a difference in your sshd configurations or possibly a PATH or other environment setting for user "mark". Note that you were logged into both Jack1 and Jack2 as "mknecht" when you did the xdpyinfo commands, and you're going into them as user "mark" via the ssh connections. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Warning: You are logged into reality as the root user... - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From sendtoimtiaz at yahoo.com Wed Apr 28 17:44:08 2004 From: sendtoimtiaz at yahoo.com (IAK Tanoli) Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2004 10:44:08 -0700 (PDT) Subject: installed new hard drive - now can't find it In-Reply-To: <408FE950.10901@controlnet.com> Message-ID: <20040428174408.44610.qmail@web12907.mail.yahoo.com> well you can use same tar command to make archives of your important dir. and then transfer it to tape/disk/computer. for oracle database you might need to copy database dir.

Hi Rick, Thanks for responding. So you think it might be differences in Jack1's & Jack2's sshd_config files? I hadn't considered that sshd locally made any difference at all in this situation, but looking I don't see anything different about them. Only 3 lines are enabled: Protocol 2 UsePAM yes Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/misc/sftp-server I had been thinking that what was working here is a single sshd_config file on Wizard, and that possibly it's some part of either machine's ssh_config locally. However, nothing is enabled in either machine's ssh_config file. Is this "RENDER" extension something that has to be built into X? Maybe Jack1 doesn't have the right X stuff for rendering remote sites installed somehow? That level of understanding is beyond my meager skill set. For the sake of full discloser, these machines are not all Redhat and not all running the same versions of X or even the same kernel, so do not make assumptions of some sort of homogeneity. Maybe I built X on one of the Gentoo boxes recently with different settings? Or maybe some X-config file somewhere changed this for just one machine. I think I didn't say this before, but neither machine had this problem a couple of weeks ago.

Rick, I logged into Wizard from both machines at the same time. With two terminals open I execute 'env' and compare the two. No differences except for the port number in the SSH_CLIENT and SSH_CONNECTION lines, and that one says it's DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 while the other says 11:0. So, I'm still searching around for ideas. Thanks for the help so far.

I chose to install FC1 and not upgrade rh9 to Fedora...seemed easiest to me. Once I figured out how to restore windows boot from grub dual boot (fdisk /mbr), I removed small hard drive, inserted large drive, booted FC1 iso's and wallah! I did not know how installation would differ when I booted Fedora disk without an active boot drive which would technically be the case if I removed the Rh9 drive without first removing dual boot and restoring original windows single drive boot. Probably would not be any different but I preferred to go with what I was familiar with...if something went wrong with the installation I would not be certain the boot issue didn't contribute. The installation was problem free. One quick question. Your note above suggests (my limited understanding) that I need simply copy one linux hard drive to a second hard drive to make the second usable and bootable on the same machine. Seems too simple.

If it helps, you are not alone. I also could not make much progress with 4.3. Worked fairly well with the 4.4.0 binary from XFree86.org. This is on an eMachines laptop with Athlon 64 3000+ and ATI Mobility 9600 with 64MB. I just installed Mandrake 10.0 RC1 last night, and the version of X shipped with that supports this card.

The CDs don't care if you have a bootable drive or not. Once the boot loader (grub) gets on the disk, the only important thing is if your BIOS can find grub on whatever disk it's on. Look at your BIOS boot settings to see which order it tries to find boot loaders on. Odds are it will try the floppy, then the CD, then the first hard drive it sees. If you installed grub on /dev/hdb, then your BIOS won't see it. If you installed it to /dev/hda, then it'll work fine. > One quick question. Your note above suggests (my limited understanding) > that I need simply copy one linux hard drive to a second hard drive to > make the second usable and bootable on the same machine. Seems too simple. That sorta was. If they're identical drives, you _could_ do a "dd" to copy everything, but that is a bit simplistic. The best thing to do is to create partitions on the new drive, mount them one at a time, at, for example, /mnt/cdrom, then copy the corresponding original partition contents to the new drive's partition by doing: cp -ax /orig/mount/point/* /mnt/cdrom For example, if your original hard drive has partitions 1, 2, and 3 mounted as /, /usr, and /var respectively, create similar partitions on your new drive by using "fdisk /dev/hdb". Then make the appropriate filesystems on the new drive: mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1 mke2fs -j /dev/hdb2 mke2fs -j /dev/hdb3 You can then: mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/cdrom cp -ax /* /mnt/cdrom umount /mnt/cdrom mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt/cdrom cp -ax /usr/* /mnt/cdrom umount /mnt/cdrom mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt/cdrom cp -ax /var/* /mnt/cdrom umount /mnt/cdrom Once that's all done, you can make the drive bootable by: mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/cdrom chroot /mnt/cdrom grub-install hdb exit Your second drive should boot if you a) remove your first drive and b) jumper your new drive as "primary". Yes, it's involved. I've never actually done it in that exact way, but I have done it in chunks that amount to that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Veni, Vidi, VISA: I came, I saw, I did a little shopping. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Thu Apr 29 00:42:46 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2004 17:42:46 -0700 Subject: Login Problem In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <40904F86.5000200@vitalstream.com> brad.mugleston at comcast.net wrote: > On Wed, 28 Apr 2004, Rick Stevens wrote: > > >>brad.mugleston at comcast.net wrote: >> >>>On Wed, 28 Apr 2004, Rick Stevens wrote: >>> >>> >>> >>>>brad.mugleston at comcast.net wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>>>Rick and gang, >>>>> >>>>>I lost the origional email so I'm going to repeat myself here. >>>>> >>>>>I changed the resolution on my screen and now the graphical login >>>>>screen is all waco -the characters are about 1/4 screen high. >>>>> >>>>>Rick suggested I do the following from a standard console >>>>> >>>>>"kill `pidof gdm`" >>>>> >>>>>"telinit 3" then "telinit 5" >>>>> >>>>>reboot >>>>> >>>>>I tried that and got an error on the "Kill" I did it with and >>>>>with out the single quote "`" (the one next to the #1 key).

Surely this depends on what level of RAID you are using. RAID 1 for example does not add any new space, it just increases the number of redundant copies of a drive. -- Aj. Sys.

One drive goes down and the other drive is still there as it's a copy. I don't even know (or really care to know) what sort of RAID that is. If the drive is now accessable in the RAID environment, then I would suppose that fdisk should tell you that you have a larger drive? Does all of this RAID stuff show up as a single logical drive? Anyway, if you added 250GB, for instance, then somewhere fdisk should show you that this space is there. However it may not pe partitioned yet unless the Dell software did that for you automatically. Anyother possibility, I suppose, is that the drive is partitioned, and possibly even formatted, with a file system type that your kernel doesn't recognize. for instance, if the Dell software put NTFS on it then you might not be able to access it even if you can see the partition. Anyway, not being where the machine is it's pretty hard to imagine all the problems you might be having. Drop another note back with more info and I'm sure someone can help. Heck, if the machine was available for an ssh login mayby someone could help out that way. good luck, Mark From ajai at bway.net Thu Apr 29 16:40:01 2004 From: ajai at bway.net (Ajai Khattri) Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 12:40:01 -0400 (EDT) Subject: installed new hard drive - now can't find it In-Reply-To: <40912ABE.8050702@navarrocollege.edu> References: <408D7351.5070407@navarrocollege.edu> <408E99E4.6090501@vitalstream.com> <408FA801.1030901@navarrocollege.edu> <408FE950.10901@controlnet.com> <409123DD.1090602@navarrocollege.edu> <40912ABE.8050702@navarrocollege.edu> Message-ID: On Thu, 29 Apr 2004, Dana Holland wrote: > I don't know.

You should read up on RAID levels. Normally you would select the RAID type in the RAID card's BIOS. Anyway, here is the definition of RAID 5 (from the RAID how-to on tldp.org): "* RAID-5 * This is perhaps the most useful RAID mode when one wishes to combine a larger number of physical disks, and still maintain some redundancy. RAID-5 can be used on three or more disks, with zero or more spare-disks. The resulting RAID-5 device size will be (N-1)*S, just like RAID-4. The big difference between RAID-5 and -4 is, that the parity information is distributed evenly among the participating drives, avoiding the bottleneck problem in RAID-4. * If one of the disks fail, all data are still intact, thanks to the parity information. If spare disks are available, reconstruction will begin immediately after the device failure. If two disks fail simultaneously, all data are lost. RAID-5 can survive one disk failure, but not two or more. * Both read and write performance usually increase, but can be hard to predict how much. Reads are similar to RAID-0 reads, writes can be either rather expensive (requiring read-in prior to write, in order to be able to calculate the correct parity information), or similar to RAID-1 writes. The write efficiency depends heavily on the amount of memory in the machine, and the usage pattern of the array. Heavily scattered writes are bound to be more expensive." So, if your RAID array is configured to appear as a single volume, the size should have increased by (N-1)*S where N is the number of drives in the array and S is the size of the drive (all drives are usually the same size). When you are in the card's BIOS and have added the drive, the card will then start building that drive with striped parity data automatically (I have used RAID 0+1 with Adaptec cards and this is the what they do for me). -- Aj.

After installing XFree86 4.4.0 on my FC1 AMD64 beastie from source, I have a better feel for how the X system (and Gnome) starts up, Brad. There's a couple of files that may be causing this. They are: /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default /etc/X11/gdm/Init/:0 (a symlink to /etc/X11/xdm/XSetup_0) /etc/X11/xdm/XSetup_0 /etc/X11/Xresources It's most likely the last one. It should read: ------------------------------- CUT HERE ------------------------------ ! This is the global resources file that is loaded when ! all users log in, as well as for the login screen ! Fix the Xft dpi to 96; this prevents tiny fonts ! or HUGE fonts depending on the screen size. Xft.dpi: 96 ! hintstyle: medium means that (for Postscript fonts) we ! position the stems for maximum constrast and consistency ! but don't force the stems to integral widths. hintnone, ! hintslight, and hintfull are the other possibilities. Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium Xft.hinting: true ------------------------------- CUT HERE ------------------------------ You may need to recover these from a backup or you can reinstall the xinitrc, gdm, or gnome-session RPMs via the "rpm -Uvh --force" command. I hope that helps. And yes, building XFree86 from the source tarballs is, uhm, time consuming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - The light at the end of the tunnel is really an oncoming train. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From gerrynix at yahoo.com Thu Apr 29 17:40:29 2004 From: gerrynix at yahoo.com (gerry nix) Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 10:40:29 -0700 (PDT) Subject: scripting question In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20040429174029.98260.qmail@web21202.mail.yahoo.com> Ajai Khattri wrote:On Thu, 29 Apr 2004 jeffrey_n_Dyke at Keane.com wrote: > 2. is there a way to run exec without it exiting the current shell after > the command ends? exec replaces the current process with the one you are execing (so the shell is gone).

I realize that AJ is indeed correct, and exec is supposed to work that way, Which is why i asked if there was a way around it. Assuming no...So, let me get back to the first part of my question.

Does it have a size limit? Yes. Look for a "limit" option for the server or user in quesion in your ~/.fetchmailrc file. Either set this to "0" or use a "-l 0" on the fetchmail command line. Also note that your ISP may have a message size or mailbox size limit. It's possible they're not rejecting messages (which they should as soon as the SMTP server sees the "size" command or receives the message and determines that a 452 or 552 error should occur) but truncating them instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Memory is the second thing to go, but I can't remember the first! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Thu Apr 29 17:50:50 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 10:50:50 -0700 Subject: Fedora Unmount Problem In-Reply-To: <1083209375.6171.58.camel@manhattan.ruffe.edu> References: <1083164095.7161.8.camel@manhattan.ruffe.edu> <408FE1BD.8020501@vitalstream.com> <1083209375.6171.58.camel@manhattan.ruffe.edu> Message-ID: <4091407A.7010000@vitalstream.com> mylar wrote: > On Wed, 2004-04-28 at 12:54, Rick Stevens wrote: > >>mylar wrote: >> >>>I recently installed Fedora Core 1 on a Dell 4600 machine.

The current URL (as of 4/29/2004) is : http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/101_5771.html The system bios update and the cdrom driver update are required to solve this problem. I had to create a bootable USB flashdisk using a USB floppy (from a Sony Vaio) and a Win98 recovery boot floppy. Turn off the DL140 Insert the flashdisk in one USB port on the DL140. Insert the bootable Win98 floppy into the floppy drive and plug it into another USB port on the DL140. Turn on the DL140 If prompted, select to boot DOS w/o CD-ROM support Format the flashdisk : format b: Put the boot files and command interpreter on the flashdisk : sys b: Turn off the DL140 Remove the USB floppy drive On another computer that can access the USB flashdrive and read the zip files: Extract the update files onto the flashdrive Put the flashdrive back into the DL140 Turn the DL140 on. Follow the installation instructions for the updates. In this case is was to run BIOSF.bat and CD224V99.exe Way back on 14 Jan 2004 Travman said: Looking for a bit of advice, as I haven't run into install glitches like this since probably 5 years ago, so I'm a little bit rusty on diagnosing installs. Anyways, HP/Compaq just came out with some new DL140 servers, basically some nice, inexpensive boxes that in theory should be nice for some single task clustering type work. Anyways, HP supports these new boxes on Redhat 2.1 ES ( no official support on 3 yet ). Anyways, I've been able to install 2.1 on the machine without a problem. I've also managed to install RedHat 9 without a glitch. However, in trying to install ES 3, I continually run across a problem where the machine will lock up in the install process at the "/sbin/loader" part of the installation. The cursor freezes and a system notification light will turn on. (Basically, according to HP documentation, the light indicates a hardware problem). I initially, as the light indicated a hardware problem, contacted HP to see if there is a problem with the mainboard, or something else. They replaced that yet the problem persisted. So, I tried fiddling in the BIOS to see if there were any possible settings that may cause a problem, but there is not much to set. I also tried booting the install with the flags of "ide=nodma" and the noprobe option, both to no avail. Of interesting note, I found in RedHat 9, I was able to reproduce the red light error by inserting a cdrom while I was in X Windows. So the question is, am I stuck installing RedHat 2.1 ES on these machines? Is this purely a driver problem? Is there anything I can do to narrow down and find out specifically what is happening to cause this error to occur? I would really like to use RedHat ES 3 instead of 2.1, especially as we'll need to get a copy for each machine. While I think 2.1 will still be getting updates for some time forward, I'd rather be able to start with 3.0 instead of having to plan a quick upgrade path in the near future. Any help is appreciated.

Dana informed me that this is a hardware RAID5 setup. If you used Dell's utility and added the drive to the RAID volume, it's not really going to help too much as the "drive" (RAID cluster) is already partitioned and the partition sizes are set. What you _should_ have is unallocated space on the "drive" now. Assuming the "drive" is /dev/sda, you can "fdisk -l" and see the partition table. For example (this is an IDE drive): [root at prophead xinit]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 163.9 GB, 163928604672 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19929 cylinders <<---NOTE THAT LAST NUMBER Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 131 1052226 83 Linux /dev/hda2 132 5353 41945715 83 Linux /dev/hda3 5354 10575 41945715 83 Linux /dev/hda4 10576 19929 75136005 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 10576 11097 4192933+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 11098 11228 1052226 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 11229 19929 69890751 83 Linux You'll note that partition 7 (/dev/hda7) goes through the last cylinder of the disk. In your case, you should see some unallocated space at the end of the drive (e.g. the drive will have 25000 cylinders and the last partition ends on cylinder 23272, leaving 1728 cylinders unused). If that's true, you can use gparted and move things around to make that space usable. WARNING: parted/gparted are NOT for the faint of heart and it's VERY easy to completely hose your drive.

Could it be an APIC problem? Does "lspci" list the cards? If not, they're not being seen by the PCI bus. I doubt it's an APIC problem, but you can find out by adding the "noapic" option to the boot command line.

Hi Rick, I'm just closing this matter: I find out that *all* modules where'nt loaded. I tried all your above mentionned possibilities, nothing to do. I finally make an mrproper before building SMP kernel and it worked! As explained in SMP howto, APM has also to be disabled.

If this is the case I believe SpamAssasin is useless to you. If you wish to get SpamAssasin checking your incoming mail you need to (Assuming you do not have a permanent internet connection) 1) Set up fetchmail to retrieve email from the remote account and deliver it to your local sendmail account. Unfortunately the man page is not very accessible for beginners so I would look for a GUI tool. I used webmin to set mine up initially but now edit by hand when necessary. 2) Read this article (http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1770) it has a good explanation of what SpamAssasin does and how to set it up. (Un)fortuanately I have no experience of this as my ISP runs SpamAssasin on my mail before I get access to it. 3) Reconfigure evolution to retrieve mail from your local file system.

The difference is that the router/modem does all the ADSL stuff for you and you simply talk to it from an ethernet card like any other computer on a new network. It also gives you a firewall with port forwarding, NAT etc. I bought the Alcatel SpeedTouch 510 ethernet router/modem (which has a web interface for setting up) and have been _very_ pleased with it.

UTF-8 is flexible as it can contain both single and mulitbyte characters, though as the first bit of each character needs to be examined to see if it is a single or multibyte character it is not so efficient as a single byte system. The error message you got means that UTF-8 is not supported, only single byte character sets like ISO8859-1. You need to set the LANG environment variable to ISO8859-1 before calling Acroread. It may support other character sets too, I don't know.

There's no way to check for corrupt files because there's no way to know what's supposed to be in the file in the first place. The only way to detect corruption is to run some sort of checksum on them each time they change, and run the same checksum and see if the results match. A good tool for that is "md5sum" (which is used by the installer to verify that the CDROMs are burned correctly). Filesystems can be checked for _consistancy_ (structural soundness) by use of "fsck" before the filesystem is mounted, but it can't detect file corruption. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Lottery: A tax on people who are bad at math. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri Apr 30 18:52:41 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 11:52:41 -0700 Subject: vncserver In-Reply-To: <409227FA.5393.27D766@localhost> References: <409227FA.5393.27D766@localhost> Message-ID: <4092A079.3000703@vitalstream.com> Stewart Walker wrote: >> Are you simply referring to attempts on the port or actual vnc login >> attempts that fail? > > looks lie actual vnc login attempts to me.

Wait, you asked about vnc login attempts not samba attempts. Which are we dealing with here? I think vnc logins are logged in /var/log/messages or /var/log/secure. You can also check the "lastlog" command. Samba attempts are where you think they are (/var/log/samba). Note that if you're not behind a firewall that blocks outside access to your samba shares, you're asking for hack attempts and that may be what you're seeing. That's how a massive number of zombie machines are created and used in a DDOS attack--by stupid people sharing files under Windows and letting just anyone access them. If you're going to use any file sharing at all (Samba, NFS, whatever), set up a firewall with strict rules about who's allowed to do what. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Vegetarian: Old Indian word for "lousy hunter" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From g0pae at manordat.demon.co.uk Fri Apr 30 19:15:23 2004 From: g0pae at manordat.demon.co.uk (Chris Hewitt) Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 20:15:23 +0100 Subject: About Acrobat References: <409280EA.6040002@manordat.demon.co.uk> <1083344286.6741.8.camel@manhattan.ruffe.edu> Message-ID: <4092A5CB.3000109@manordat.demon.co.uk> mylar wrote: >It's uncanny.

The only I've not been following this thread so this may have been mentioned before (if so I apologise). If you are having so much trouble with file corruption that you are looking for a way to check for it then there is probably something fundermental wrong. I would suggest running fsck anyway, but it could be that you disc drive is on the way out. What filesystem are you using? ext2/ext3 are pretty robust, but ReiserFS is reported to be more liable to corruption that some others.

Very true. reiserfs is faster than greased owl droppings but you pay for that with filesystem fragility. Me? I like cast-iron filesystems.
