If you dont know, then try reading the serial number or service tag from the back of the machine, then go to DELL's support web site and enter it there to get all the specs on your machine. -- _______________________________________________ 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 From uhorn at csir.co.za Fri Jul 1 06:54:43 2005 From: uhorn at csir.co.za (Uli Horn) Date: Fri, 01 Jul 2005 08:54:43 +0200 Subject: SCSI woes Message-ID: The card is a Adaptec AIC-7901.

It's not that the drive can't be seen, it's that no driver has been loaded for the SCSI controller. You should also check Dell's website to see if they have a driver disk for RHEL3 for that machine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Hello.

Hi Mike, Does it need to be sed or awk? Perhaps you could avoid headaches by just using cut a couple of times? $ echo $(echo 44.MR3M01J.AF_TBL_COL_1.2005-06-30.DAT | cut -f0-3 -d_ | cut -f3 -d.).DAT AF_TBL_COL.DAT Or if you have the string in a shell variable in bash you can make the transformation like this if you have extglob on. $ echo $FOO 44.MR3M01J.AF_TBL_COL_1.2005-06-30.DAT $ echo ${FOO//+(44.MR3M01J.|_[12]*[0-9-])} AF_TBL_COL.DAT John From inode0 at gmail.com Sat Jul 2 03:27:16 2005 From: inode0 at gmail.com (inode0) Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2005 22:27:16 -0500 Subject: Need help with sed or awk and regular expressions In-Reply-To: References: <20050701165840.82979.qmail@web30813.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: On 7/1/05, inode0 wrote: > $ echo $FOO > 44.MR3M01J.AF_TBL_COL_1.2005-06-30.DAT > $ echo ${FOO//+(44.MR3M01J.|_[12]*[0-9-])} > AF_TBL_COL.DAT Ack! That last hypen is leftover harmless cruft. All one needs is $ echo ${FOO//+(44.MR3M01J.|_[12]*[0-9])} AF_TBL_COL.DAT My first iteration was $ echo ${FOO//+(44.MR3M01J.|_[12].*([0-9-]))} AF_TBL_COL.DAT which may be a more clear expression to match the second part of the string to delete.

That seems to be the root of your problem. I've not used Oracle on RHEL so I'm not going to be the best person to answer that. There are specific linux Oracle mailing lists but talking to the support engineer about the changes I feel is best initially.

What is the ip address of the oracle server ? 2. Can you ping that ip address from a windows client ? The fact that you can get to the database from server itself would to me indicate the server is up and running. However that does not mean a client can reach it. anyway my 2 cents...I have not used an oracle server since SCO xenix Ted Potter tpotter at techmarin.com www.techmarin.com From mikerault at yahoo.com Sat Jul 2 15:41:25 2005 From: mikerault at yahoo.com (Michael Ault) Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2005 08:41:25 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Need help with sed or awk and regular expressions In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20050702154125.63430.qmail@web30802.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Excellent, so to pass in a list of file names to be converted you would pipe the results of the ls command through this?

Er, that smells suspiciously of bad RAM or a flakey bus. The EIP is a register in the CPU. If the RAM is bad or if a card is making intermittent connections to the PCI bus, you can get that error as the CPU will get very, very confused. Step 1: Open the box. Step 2: Unplug ALL of the PCI cards and plug them back in. Step 3: Reseat the RAM DIMMs. Step 4: If you're courageous, reseat the CPU(s), also. Step 5: Try booting it again. Step 6: If it still has a problem, try one of the other kernels. Step 7: If all's well in step 5 or 6, close the box back up. Step 8. If you had to use step 6, you'd better find out what's wrong with the kernel that won't boot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Consciousness: that annoying time between naps. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From brad.mugleston at comcast.net Wed Jul 6 04:24:38 2005 From: brad.mugleston at comcast.net (brad.mugleston at comcast.net) Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2005 22:24:38 -0600 (MDT) Subject: GTKAM Help Message-ID: I've got a new digital camera (Pentax) and have been using GTKAM to process from my old camera. I'd rather not have to compile the new version of GTKAM (installed from RPM) but the new libgphoto2 file has the drivers for my new camera (or close enough I hope). Can I install just the new libgphoto files or do I need to install the whole thing to get it to work? Now for the next question(s): 1 - if I can just upgrade libgphoto - how do I do it so I'm sure it doesn't (a) leave both copies there and (b) mess everything up. 2 - If I need to install from scratch what should I do (remove the old version (rpm -e) and install or what? I seem to have problems when I have to compile a program to get it installed. Thanks, Brad Mugleston, KI0OT There are 10 types of people in this world.

If you do use -e, then you'll need to do an install of the new version (rpm -ivh), since there's nothing to update any longer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - When all else fails, try reading the instructions. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From ajay197947 at rediffmail.com Wed Jul 6 11:09:53 2005 From: ajay197947 at rediffmail.com (ajay) Date: 6 Jul 2005 11:09:53 -0000 Subject: sendmail Message-ID: <20050706110953.26002.qmail@webmail28.rediffmail.com> hi folks i would be highly thankful if anyone can tell me how sendmail fetches mails from my .com server on internet i have redhat 9.0 and sendmail was working ok , since yesterday we are not receiving any mails from outside. i checked my .com server it's ok . there 's something wrong in my config files. specifically i want to know which configuration files, service is responsible to fetch mails from .com server. is it fetchmail/procmail. i really do not know , i tried a lot rolling my self in /etc/mail folder , observing .mc and other files there but i did not get any clue there. earlier i used to fetch using vpop3 (windows based) what i know in general to fetch mails from .com mail server we need following: username password mail server ip i know all these info , do not know which particular file and service is carring all these parameters. we have one pop a/c , and rest are all aliases under it help me.. i want to anything i will tell tell me where should i go and dig in /etc ! thanks in advance rgds ajay -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The first thing you need to find out is how the mail is supposed to be fetched. Perhaps fetchmail is running as root or some other system user, or it's running from a cron job. Or it's running as your mere mortal self either as a daemon or from a cron job. To find the cron job, as root, run crontab -l Then look in /etc/cron.d/ for signs of a file with the appropriate command in it. If there's a possibility that the fetcher is running hourly, look in /etc/cron.hourly/ for such a script. If nothing found, run crontab -l as your mere mortal self.

I'm using Fedora Core 4 x86/64 SMP. When I try to load the modules for my card, I get a bunch of errors, copied below. It seems like ndiswrapper doesn't work (at least using a 32-bit Windows driver) with a 64-bit kernel. Does anyone know of a solution other than downgrading my kernel to the 32 bit version? Alternatively, is there a mini-PCI wireless card that works without ndiswrapper? One that will work with the kernel I have? Either 802.11b or 802.11g would be fine.

Fetchmail is the tool that fetches email from the remote pop server . Fetchmail alters the recipient address so that sendmail is convinced that it is for the localhost and therefore should be localy delivered and then passes the email to sendmail . Now sendmail observes that the email should be localy delivered and passes it to procmail or whatever programm /etc/mail/sendmail.cf says is the Local Delivery Agent ( if i recall well , towards the bottom of sendmail.cf is a declaration saying MAILER(local) ) . So in the proccess of delivering email fetchmail then sendmail and then procmail play their respective role . > >>i really do not know , i tried a lot rolling my self in /etc/mail >>folder , Well don't touch those files because other things can be messed up there. The files in /etc/mail are the ones that help sendmail act as an Mail Transfer Agent . You would better go to the home directory of the user in question and search for a file called ".fetchmailrc" ( notice the preceding dot "." it is an otherwise hidden file ) . This is the configuration file for fetchmail and a good starting point.

See if you can find a 64-bit version of the .sys files for the card's Windows driver (not likely, but worth a shot). > Alternatively, is there a mini-PCI wireless card that works without > ndiswrapper? One that will work with the kernel I have? Either 802.11b > or 802.11g would be fine. There are some. Check www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ for some links. Note that a number of makers do not have open-source drivers for wireless, and some (are you listening TI and Broadcom?) won't even publish the chip specs to allow someone else to write one. In other words, don't get a board with TI or Broadcom chips on it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - To err is human, to forgive, beyond the scope of the OS - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed Jul 6 23:30:00 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 06 Jul 2005 16:30:00 -0700 Subject: sendmail In-Reply-To: <42CC4FD0.9000600@cha.forthnet.gr> References: <20050706110953.26002.qmail@webmail28.rediffmail.com> <20050706170213.GA28947@bobcat.bobcatos.com> <42CC4FD0.9000600@cha.forthnet.gr> Message-ID: <42CC6978.70202@vitalstream.com> Kostas Sfakiotakis wrote: > Greetings , > > Bob McClure Jr wrote: > >> Any chance you could beat your mail program into submission and make >> it wrap lines every 72 chars or so?

Well, really fetchmail picks up the mail at the ISP, buggers the recipient address, then passes it to the MTA listening on port 25 of localhost. Most often, that's sendmail, but it could be qmail or postfix or any one of a number of other MTA programs. The MTA is then responsible for delivery (via procmail or some other MDA). >>> i really do not know , i tried a lot rolling my self in /etc/mail >>> folder , > > > Well don't touch those files because other things can be messed > up there.

If you have a entry in syslog.conf something like this: kern.* /home/user/logs/user.log This should send kernel messages to the above file. Now, unless I set up logrotate to rotate the log file it will continue to grow? Is there any other mechanism that would rotate a log file just because it is in syslog.conf? The reason I ask is that we have a local application that writes log files that are being rotated and I can not figure out how (not in logrotate). I suspect a user is running a command occasionally associated with the application to manually rotate the log. Just wanted to see if I was missing anything. Also, there are no cronjobs.

Just download the cd's and boot and tell it to upgrade and after some time it finishes and you boot and you're done, do a update when you reboot and you should be done.

But my first try was with FC 3 and it did not work. In fact the upgrade did not even start. For some reason the boot script, for FC 3, did not recognize my keyboard. So if it?s all the same to you and if you?re having FC 3 trouble you may find it useful to upgrade to FC 4 directly. But, if you care about PHP versions and prefer PHP4 to PHP5, then FC 4 may not work for you because FC 4 is the first installation that comes bundled with PHP 5. ____________________________________________________ Sell on Yahoo!

The most common problem I've had on about half of the machines I've upgraded to FC2 and beyond from prior versions, is the need to add "acpi=off" to the boot line. One of my clients has two very similar Athlon-based servers. One requires it; one doesn't. In FC3, if it fails to boot without it, a message will tell you to try it. The only specific gotcha to watch for is, on several recent FC2-to-FC3 Postfix' /etc/postfix/aliases has been abandoned in favor of the more conventional /etc/aliases. Just change the applicable entries in /etc/postfix/main.cf, and you're up.

I'd use rescue mode on the FC4 CD to - build the partitions like I want them - cpio over the world from the old machine - adjust /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf, if necessary - chroot to /mnt/sysimage and run "grub-install /dev/hda" (or whatever your boot drive is) - boot the new machine to single user to verify that everything is kosher - upgrade the new machine to FC4.

Why use anacron? Check its man page. anacron takes into account the last time a job was run and any possible time that the computer may have been down. So if the current time is after a job _should_ have run (possible if the machine was down at the time the job should run), anacron will run it ASAP after booting. crond is unaware of "down" time and will only pick up from boot time, so jobs will not run until the NEXT scheduled time. As for log rotation, anacron sees /etc/cron.daily/logrotate, which reads in /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d and invokes logrotate to do the dirty work. Note that NONE of these use the contents of /etc/syslog.conf to determine which files get rotated and when. For example, if you do a daily log rotate at midnight and the machine happened to be off at that time, right after boot anacron will run the delayed rotation so each log file has only one day's info in it (well, there will be some cruft from the last boot in there, but that'll be minor). crond wouldn't do the rotation until the NEXT midnight, so one log file would have two days' info in it. Is that bad? Depends on what you're trying to accomplish--I can't speak to that. > Also, there are no cronjobs. No, anacron stuff won't show up in a "crontab -e" for any user. The "crontab" program only buggers crond's /var/spool/cron/* files. You must edit anacron's /etc/cron.*/* files manually. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If the enemy's in range...so are you! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri Jul 8 20:44:42 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 08 Jul 2005 13:44:42 -0700 Subject: FC2 to FC3 or FC4 upgrade In-Reply-To: <5bdc1c8b0507071313c422a7c@mail.gmail.com> References: <5bdc1c8b0507071313c422a7c@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <42CEE5BA.3030004@vitalstream.com> Mark Knecht wrote: > Hi, > I wonder what experience people here have with upgrading an FC2 box > to newer FCx revisions.

Generally, FC2 to FC3 or FC4 should be fairly painless, however going from something earlier (FC1, RH9, RH8.0, etc.) can cause grief since you'd be going from a 2.4 kernel to a 2.6 kernel. You may also run into gcc problems (v2.96 vs. v3.x), glibc issues and others. So, old 2.4-kernel systems should use fresh installs of FC2/3/4. Also beware that acpi/apms handling is RADICALLY different between FC2 and FC3. If your machine doesn't boot after the upgrade, add "acpi=off" to the boot command line. It appears that the 2.6 kernel also handles broken BIOS APIC setups better, so the need for "noapic" on SMP kernels for AMD machines isn't as necessary as it was. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri Jul 8 20:50:56 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 08 Jul 2005 13:50:56 -0700 Subject: mail relay In-Reply-To: <20050708113214.17741.qmail@webmail47.rediffmail.com> References: <20050708113214.17741.qmail@webmail47.rediffmail.com> Message-ID: <42CEE730.7020609@vitalstream.com> ajay wrote: > > i have one more major querry, may sound funny. > > i have redhat 9.0 server , mails are being relayed smoothly. > > it's pitty on me , i do not how , how it's being done , by smtp or mx > records. i am using sendmail. > > so pls. tell me how can i confirm this , which file should i check and > where in , what papameter is responsible for it. If they're being relayed by the RH9 box, then either the box is wrongly configured as an open relay (bad, bad, bad!) or you have entries in /etc/mail/access that specify what can be relayed and what can't. An MX record in DNS only says which machine is responsible for handling mail for that domain--it does NOT specify any relay information at all (although you can configure sendmail to permit relays if the MX record specifies that machine as the mail destination). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri Jul 8 20:52:54 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 08 Jul 2005 13:52:54 -0700 Subject: Revocery of Gurb password In-Reply-To: <20050708112358.58130.qmail@web54504.mail.yahoo.com> References: <20050708112358.58130.qmail@web54504.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <42CEE7A6.5080000@vitalstream.com> SoftNet Technologies wrote: > Hi All > > I want to recover password of grub on my pc, Please tell me to what > should I do.

Maybe before I start the change over it would make sense to set up those command line options, see the existing 2.6 kernel boot that way, do the switch, boot safely, and then put them back in? A few extra boots doesn't bother me that much. Thanks to all others who have taken the time to answer on this. I've downloaded FC4 iso's and will burn then this afternoon.

Do any patches > come into 2.4-20 kernel of Redhat 9.0? 2.4 kernels don't really make use of HT except by treating the chips as multiple CPUs. The 2.4 kernels for RH9 (there was no 9.0, just 9) are patched quite a bit when compared to the stock kernel.org 2.4.20 kernel. However, the HT bit really isn't there in the first place. Later 2.4 kernels do have NPTL (native Posix-Thread logic), but they don't do HT. You really should stop using RH9. It was end-of-lifed two years ago. Move to FC2, FC3 or FC4 (2.6 kernels that _can_ do HT). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If your broker is so damned smart...why is he still working? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From markknecht at gmail.com Mon Jul 11 17:20:50 2005 From: markknecht at gmail.com (Mark Knecht) Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2005 10:20:50 -0700 Subject: FC2 to FC3 or FC4 upgrade In-Reply-To: <42CEE5BA.3030004@vitalstream.com> References: <5bdc1c8b0507071313c422a7c@mail.gmail.com> <42CEE5BA.3030004@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <5bdc1c8b05071110206c69e9f7@mail.gmail.com> FYI all - I have been unable to move forward with this due to none of the CD passing the media test portion of the install.

Using k3b I had no problem burning at 16x. The media was created and the update went fine. I'm now writing from the machine booted into FC4. That's not to say I'm happy with the update. Unfortunately it appears that the update completely hosed all of my Gnome panels and menus. I now have a blank panel with no way to even log out of Gnome! Pretty bad choices the system made there. One thing that's a bit strange about this problem is that the 'Add to Panel' function obtained by right clicking the panel still has all of my previous menu items, etc. It's just that Gnome is not displaying the basic operations button normally in the bottom right. Does anyone know how to fix this? Without menus I'd say Gnome is pretty much not useful.

In my case I found an option called 'Main Menu' in the 'Add to Panel' section that restored all my menus the way they were before the upgrade so that problem is solved. I'm experiencing some other troubles that are not specific to this list but rather to other software and kernels that I ru.

If root's password, boot with the install CD to rescue mode (enter "linux rescue" at the boot prompt), let it find your installation and mount it on /mnt/sysimage. Then chroot /mnt/sysimage passwd exit exit Pop out the CD and it should boot normally. If some mere mortal's password, root can change it using passwd "man passwd" for more info.

FC4 (and 3 for that matter), by default come with Dovecot. It shouldn't be a huge load, but it does use maildir format as opposed to mbox format. The RH ones were based on c-client (Mark Crispin's code). It's been known as c-client, UW-IMAP and a bunch of other names. There are good notes in /usr/share/doc/dovecot-* on FC3/FC4 boxes, including a "REDHAT-FAQ.txt" document that tells you what you need to do to make it all go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - What's small, yellow and very, VERY dangerous?

Yes, absolutely simple, and AFAIK 100% correct for USB controllers, but not necessarily for devices. There are some devices which are USB 2.0 compatible but not 480Mb/S. The example I gave was a controller since I don't own any USB 2.0 devices. All my high-speed devices are 1394. Anyway, small points. All of these should work most of the time.

Virtually anything you find in the /proc/sys directory can be manipulated using sysctl. Find a parameter you want to change in /proc/sys and put it in the /etc/sysctl.conf file. The format of that file uses "." characters in place of the "/" used in the /proc/sys directory tree and assumes the ".proc.sys" bit (don't include it). The best source for this information is in the files found in the "/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-`uname -r`/Documentation/sysctl" directory, specifically kernel.txt, fs.txt and vm.txt. Note, however, that the items you want in there have nothing to do with sysctl, but are rather "ulimit" values (see "man bash" and look for the "ulimit" command under "BUILTIN"). You can view the currently active values by using "ulimit -a". They must be set by the shell using the ulimit command BEFORE launching the program that requires the new settings, e.g. #!/bin/bash # We need lots of open files, so... ulimit -n unlimited /path/to/program/to/run Note that "-n" is a suggestion. The actual number of open files is compiled into the kernel. Oh, and please get your mail administrator to take that incredibly stupid and unenforceable disclaimer off your mail messages. The simple fact that you're posting to a PUBLIC mailing list kind of removes any pretense of confidentiality, doesn't it? I also have much better things to do than drop everything and contact the sender of an erroneous message because _he_ screwed up the destination address.

Hmmmm, that's interesting. Have you done an "ls -la" and an "lsattr" on that file? Is it a regular or special file (e.g. pipe/fifo or device)? I suspect it's a special file, and scp can't deal with those (nor can most copy utilities). You really should look at using rsync to synchronize your systems. That's what it was designed for and it knows how to deal with special files, symlinks and the like. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - When in doubt, mumble. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From geg1 at earthlink.net Thu Jul 14 17:40:19 2005 From: geg1 at earthlink.net (Gregory E.

Any > ideas on what the problem is? Not all drives are SMART-compatible. Check the ouput from "dmesg" and the contents of "/var/log/messages" to see what's going on. To unlock it, delete the "/var/lock/subsys/smartd" file. I'd then try to run it in debug mode using "smartd -d" and see what it's doing. If it runs OK, then use "CTRL-C" to get out of it and run it normally by using the command "smartd". You can then check your disk by running "smartctl -i /dev/hda". If it looks like the drive isn't SMART compatible or if smartd dies in a weird way, then run "chkconfig --level 2345 smartd off" to disable it from running at boot time. smartd is a nice thing to have, but it isn't critical to system operation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - When in doubt, mumble. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Thu Jul 14 18:00:43 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2005 11:00:43 -0700 Subject: more usb In-Reply-To: <42D6A700.7020609@lbl.gov> References: <42D6A700.7020609@lbl.gov> Message-ID: <42D6A84B.1000507@vitalstream.com> chuck lawrence wrote: > Mark Knecht wrote: > > | cat /proc/bus/usb/devices and look at the "Ver=" entry.

No, the bus type itself should be displayed regardless on if you have devices plugged in or not. It looks like you have two busses now, both USB1.1.

Thanks! Next problem... I've never been able to get the menu driven httpd config in RH8 to work. I'm now trying it on FC4. I've only messed with it a bit, but it LOOKS like when I set up named virtural hosts, they work, but my default page shows up as an error page saying I need to request it with https.

Thanks! Glad to hear it. You'll also find that rsync is faster than scp, as it only transmits the differences between the machines, regardless of what they are. So, a two-byte change in a gigabyte file will NOT copy the entire gigabyte, but rather only the bytes that changed. Neat, eh? Can save SERIOUS time (we have to keep about 3TB of data synched ourselves between four storage arrays and we use rsync to do it). > Next problem...

I have an inherent distrust of those kinds of tools when it comes to text-based config files--simply because of the complexity of parsing the file and coercing it to live within the fixed parameters of the editor. I wish I could help more. Maybe someone else on the list has some experience with it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward getting - - medicated for it. -- Jim Evarts (http://www.TopFive.com) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From geg1 at earthlink.net Fri Jul 15 16:48:42 2005 From: geg1 at earthlink.net (Gregory E.

The error was "unable to register device /dev/sda on line 3 of /etc/smartd.conf", which smartctl says is the external hard drive (and not smart-capable). I guess it did not appear before because I added the external drive after the original RHEL installation, and the smartd.conf file is generated during installation. Commenting out the line in the configuration file solves the problem.

Sorry about that it says Spell-Checking file "/usr/bin/spell" not found The I was wrong about when I put the speller in as "/usr/bin/aspell" It says Alternate speller terminated abnormally (1) I did some checking and "/usr/bin/spell" is not on my computer Also, in Pine if you leave the alternate speller line blank it calls the "/usr/bin/spell" program.

This Linux novice has now gained another bit of knowledge the hard way, i.e. with a little embarrassment over my ignorance. Not only do I now know how to spot source RPMs but I know what to do with them, too, so again, tesekk?r. But before I could try your solution, for the third time my Linux system has crashed with kernel panics and file system errors that have again left me with a nonbooting system, so I'll need to reinstall Linux one more time. With my limited capabilities I can't tell if the problem is with my computer's hardware or with the Linux system software itself, but one thing I can do is this: I'd like to ask if any of you have also experienced major problems keeping Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 stable. I downloaded the installation files for the "Update 1" version of RHEL ES 4 and it has usually installed fine, but after a short time (a couple of days or a week) of doing anything with the system it crashes into uselessness.

How much swap space? Should be about 320MB. > It is trying to boot graphically. That may be too tight a space to fit a GUI, at least GNOME or KDE. Have you tried to boot to a text prompt? You can do that from the GRUB screen when it starts counting down to boot the default kernel. At that time hit "a" to append to the boot line, and then put a space and a "3", and hit return. If that boots ok, your installation is ok, but too small for a fat GUI. If it won't boot to text mode, check your memory. Boot from the RH 9 CD and put "memtest86" at the boot prompt. If that's the machine you're stuck with, consider a lighter-weight window manager such as AfterStep (what I'm using): http://www.afterstep.org/ AS has grown quite a bit over the years and may still be a struggle. I used to have 256MB and had to wait for apps to swap in and out. Now I have 512MB and don't have to wait.

Now , you have to do the following For the computers A,C,D,E go to the file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc there you will find a line saying define SMARTHOST('The Address of B goes here ' )dnl; Then after changing the above line you will have to rebuild sendmail.cf in order to reflect the change you made and restart sendmail . The above line means that they have to sent the email to computer B if it is to be sent to the Internet . After that you will have to go to computer B . Go to the directory /etc/mail Find the file access In this file you have to put a line which will say From : *.mydomain.com OK Again for the computer B In the /etc/mail directory you will have to find the sendmail.mc file and open it in there you will have to add or uncomment the line which says : FEATURE('access_db') after you change the sendmail.mc file you will have to rebuild it and restart sendmail .

You can "mark" the end of an archive (EOF) on tape and use mt options to "position" past the marks for the next archive.

With my limited capabilities I can't tell if the problem is with my computer's hardware or with the Linux system software itself, but one thing I can do is this: I'd like to ask if any of you have also experienced major problems keeping Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 stable. I downloaded the installation files for the "Update 1" version of RHEL ES 4 and it has usually installed fine, but after a short time (a couple of days or a week) of doing anything with the system it crashes into uselessness. The first thing you should do is boot off the first CD and run memtest86 on your machine. Many times this sort of instability is caused by flakey memory (Linux beats on memory much harder than Windows). You should also take the time to do a little maintenance on your machine. You'd be amazed at how often things such as this get caused by flakey connections between your cards and the buses they live in. Power down the box and open it up. Put on your grounding strap and remove and reseat every PCI card you have in your buses. I also recommend you reseat your memory DIMMs. If you have the courage, it may also help to reseat your CPU(s), but be CAREFUL on that. There are several other possibilities. You may also have a CPU cooling issue (which can make things REALLY queer). Make sure the fans on your CPUs are spinning at speed. If you have an infrared thermometer, use it to check the CPU temperature(s) while the system runs. You may also have a power supply that's starting to die. Check the voltages. I have a very nice multimeter (Extech Intruments 470) that has the infrared thermometer, a type K thermocouple input and full multimeter functions. I've used the thermocouple to monitor machines when the airflow design requires buttoning up the machine, but usually the IR measurement is adequate. That Extech has found and helped to fix many a flakey system (and we have over 1,200 systems). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 Mon Jul 18 17:03:23 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 10:03:23 -0700 Subject: Redhat fails to boot!

How can i check how much tape has been written and how much is free?

You'd need to move past the end of data filemark of the current tape to append things to it and you'd need to use the non-rewind version of the drive (/dev/nst0).

These stupid disclaimers are totally and completely unenforceable and are nothing but a waste of bandwidth. Posting a message to a PUBLIC mailing list really wipes out any pretense of confidentiality, doesn't it?

Thanks, Rick. That was something I wanted to find, a good Linux disk utility/tester. Just one question: do I need special parameters for memtest86? I ran it off the boot CD as you suggested, and now it appears it's repeating itself after already having gone through each of its seven or so tests. I make that newbie judgment by noticing once that after "Test" it read "98%" and was on "Test #7" but now it's back to 28% and on "Test #4" (I actually did catch it running Tests #1 and #2 again, too).

Thanks for your reply, Sam. I've done a variety of things before the crashes, from installing programs and updates to simply configuring the desktop, so it's hard to pinpoint any specific trigger. >If you are just running a default installation there > should be no stability issues with the OS itself. I'd like to think that, too, and with 4 being the latest, and presumably most perfected, release of RHEL ES, one would assume it's the one least likely to affected by system errors caused by faulty programming or coding. But I must say, I've been less than impressed with the quality of Red Hat applications as of late. Maybe it's just been bad experiences or ignorance on my part, but I don't see it outside the realm of possibility that RH could have put out a crappy, under-tested version and let bug reports lead to fixes that never should have been allowed to happen in the first place. That's why I wanted to elicit other people's experiences with RHEL ES 4 to see if there were systematic problems. >What is > your hardware?

I actually haven't had much time to investigate the hardware. I got the computer secondhand from a surplus at my wife's work. It looks like your garden variety networked, office PC with nothing too fancy installed on it, but of course it's just like buying a used car (pre-Carfax) or having unprotected sex (so I'm told); you can't know for sure the history or innermost workings of what you're getting in bed with.

This is definitely a file system or disk issue (I'll let the experts handle that); however, (and this may be an obvious question) are you shutting down your system properly, using the shutdown command or are you just pulling the switch when you're done? Do you get any power failures? This happenned to me after a power failure and before I installed a UPS.

Since there's no leading "/" on the data, it can't find your stuff. The correct way to do this is to "cd" to the parent directory of "home" (in your case, you want to restore stuff in /home, so "cd /"), then enter the command "tar xvzpf /dev/st0 home/user". If you want to backup whole paths, you MUST use the "P" option when creating the tar archive, "tar cvpPf /dev/st0 /home/user". > nothing comes out of tape even half and hour after. > > i will be thankful for your suggestion. > > also tell how can i also preserve ownership of data? > and can i use a file containing folder/file enteries inspite of defining > individual folders name with tar command. if yes what is that file > format and how to fit it in tar command ? Ajay, have you read the man page for tar ("man tar") yet? All of the information you want is in there. The lower case "-p" preserves permissions, "--same-owner" preserves ownership, "--preserve" does both. The "-T filename" causes it to read the data to back up or restore from "filename". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Life: That which happens while you search for the remote control. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Jul 19 16:59:33 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2005 09:59:33 -0700 Subject: stability of RHEL ES 4 (was: RE: trouble installing/running the Domain Name Service Configuration Tool) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <42DD3175.5010309@vitalstream.com> Ed McCorduck wrote: > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com >>[mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of >>Rick Stevens >>Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 1:01 PM >>To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux >>Subject: Re: stability of RHEL ES 4 (was: RE: trouble >>installing/running the Domain Name Service Configuration Tool) >> >> >>Ed McCorduck wrote: >> >>>Tesekk?r.

Just one question: do I need special parameters for memtest86? I ran it off the boot CD as you suggested, and now it appears it's repeating itself after already having gone through each of its seven or so tests. I make that newbie judgment by noticing once that after "Test" it read "98%" and was on "Test #7" but now it's back to 28% and on "Test #4" (I actually did catch it running Tests #1 and #2 again, too). memcheck86 will loop until you stop it, so what you're seeing is normal. If you look at its display, it shows which key to hit to stop it (I think it's "CTRL-C", but I won't swear to it). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Microsoft Windows: Proof that P.T.

I do a few reboots during the period, but the problems seem to crop up outside of those (i.e. programs suddenly freezing, bizarre characters on the screen in the middle of others etc.). Ok, this is very indicative of a power supply going bad or an overheating CPU. First, check the fan on the CPU's heatsink and make sure it's spinning at a good speed. Fans croak very often and a hot CPU is not a happy CPU. If the blades aren't a blur, replace the fan and/or heatsink (don't forget to use more thermal goop if you replace the heatsink). If that doesn't do the trick, I'd replace the power supply. It's hard to catch a bad supply, as you need to track its output using something like a recording DMM (fairly expensive for occasional use). New supplies are $50 U.S. in most places and it's probably cheaper to put in a new one than trying to analyze and/or repair the old one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Microsoft Windows: Proof that P.T.

That's because the boot loader (probably grub--could be LILO) couldn't load the ext3 filesystem module from your initrd image. Therefore it couldn't mount the root filesystem. If you power off the machine for a few minutes, I'll bet it boots again. If that's the case, check the CPU fan and power supply as I mentioned in another message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward getting - - medicated for it. -- Jim Evarts (http://www.TopFive.com) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From cutewang520 at yahoo.com Tue Jul 19 18:14:32 2005 From: cutewang520 at yahoo.com (Cindy H.

The fedora project is a part of Red Hat and is in _very_ active development. It is a true community distro, so -- no, there is no support. It's also free and overall a very good distro.

Spell now works but before it would bring up a listing of possible correct spellings and you would pick from the list. Now it just says that it's spelled wrong and you enter the correct spelling - which would be great if I knew how to spell..

Yes, as one of Rick Stevens' replies further on suggests, it sure looks as though I've got a power issue that is creating my woes. But no, I always shut Linux down the kosher way, when I can.

Obviously, I haven't used memtest86 very much, so could you tell me what I should be looking for on its report screen? If it finds anything amiss, will an error message just jump out at me?

This is how I solved the problem but unfortunately another occurred!!!! Little History: I was installing RHEL 4 on PII 400 MHZ machine but the after "Verifying DMI pool data" machine used to hang. SO I tried Smart boot manager, which did work but failed to find CDROM drive so I can install the OS. I found another solution on the Inet. Goto BIOS settings and disable 'External & internal CPU cache'. This will bypass verifying DMI pool data. What happened then: Now my computer successfully verifies DMI pool data and then hangs??? I have done following: 1 Checked md5sum of all ISO images that I have down-loaded 2 Checked all the cables (to HDD CDROM FLOPPY) 3 OS CD"s work fine on other machine (so car starts after I find where it is) 4 Used smart boot manager but it could not detect CDROM. So configured CD-ROM I/O ports to 1F0,3F6 5 Re burned the ISO images at speed 24X (previously I was burning it at 32X) What I am doing now: Cursing the box of course I am trying to use boot.iso file (from CD1) using USB flash drive. can anyone figure out what the hell I am doing wrong and how in heavens I do it right!!!!

Oh, man, there's too many to list. It's a complete restructuring. Memory handling is different. Loadable modules are different. The thread model is different.

I was getting the same errors recently, and I replaced my disk and re-installed RHEL. I was pretty sure it was a disk problem since I could hear _something_ in the case was not running smoothly. I don't get the same problem (yet) but I still hear the same or similar noise. The problem I see is that this on a dual boot system. So, if it was the CPU, why wouldn't there be similar problems with booting XP? If it is a bad disk, the grub partition is on the second disk with RHEL, so could a bad power supply only damage the RHEL portion and leave the rest alone? Even after the machine wouldn't boot into Linux, it would still boot to XP. In particular, I am wondering now if the power unit may be too small to run the extra disk.

(problem with /dev/root.old) Message-ID: <27ae921605072111455fc8373@mail.gmail.com> Hello, Our recovery procedures for RHEL v3 were pretty simple. We do nightly backups, and if/when we have to restore, we would restore to a secondary disk, then install grub. Here are my notes for v3... boot to CD linux rescue if automount fails... mount partitions read/write #mount -o rw /dev/sda2 /mnt/sysimage #mount -o rw /dev/sda1 /mnt/sysimage/boot install master boot record #chroot /mnt/sysimage #grub-install /dev/sda #exit (get out of chrooted env.) #exit (reboot) The problem is that with RHEL4, the automount is failing, so we have to manually mount the partitions. When we do that, we have a problem with /dev. The chroot'd /dev (which was previously /mnt/sysimage/dev) does not contain the block file sda. So grub-install /dev/sda complains that /dev/sda does not exist. When I look at what an automount does, it somehow mounts /dev/root.old as /mnt/sysimage/dev. Is there a way to manually do that, or am I missing something?

The only _reliable_ method for moving mysql data from machine to machine is via mysqldump/mysqlrestore or by using the replication tools in the later versions of mysql. Moving the data files around is not recommended--especially with a live database. If you can stop it while you move the binary files, then you're OK, but don't do it while mysql is running. BTW, the default location for the data files is /var/lib/mysql/name-of-database Inside each directory, the files are named *.frm, *.MYD, and *.MYI, where the asterisks are replaced by the table names. 10 tables yields 30 files (a .frm, a .MYD and a .MYI for each) > > THANKS! > > Harold > > > >>Harold Hallikainen wrote: >> >> >>>I'm SLOWLY bringing up a new server and moving stuff from the old to the >>>new.

You need to enable IP forwarding in computer-a to make it act as a router. For that, either do this: echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward or change the line in /etc/sysctl.conf that reads: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 to net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 and either reboot or use "sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1". For proxy operations, you should install and configure squid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward getting - - medicated for it. -- Jim Evarts (http://www.TopFive.com) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From jhonrp at pamapersada.com Tue Jul 26 01:49:23 2005 From: jhonrp at pamapersada.com (Jhon Ramawi Putra) Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 08:49:23 +0700 Subject: ADSL, Proxy & Bridge In-Reply-To: <42E52550.4000203@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com wrote on 07/26/2005 12:45:52 AM: > Jhon Ramawi Putra wrote: > > Dear Gurus... > > > > May be this is a beginner question, but any help will be appreciated. > > This is existing my network diagram: > > > > (.....Internet.....) --- [ADSL MODEM]-----[LAN Switch] ---- Desktops > > (192.168.0.1, etc....) > > 192.168.0.9 > > > > The ADSL Modem act as gateway. > > > > Now i want to configure my network to be like this: > > > > (.....Internet.....) ---[ADSL MODEM] > > ip : 10.0.0.1, net mask : 255.0.0.0 > > | > > | > > eth0: 10.0.0.2, net mask : 255.0.0.0 > > [Computer A] > > eth1:192.168.0.10 netmask : 255.255.255.0 > > | > > | > > [LAN Switch] ---- Desktops (192.168.0.1, etc ... with > > netmask : 255.255.255.0) > > > > The ADSL Modem is attached to Computer A via eth0.

Before i configured the bridge, i assigned each NIC card with IP. Then i read this in http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Ethernet-Bridge-netfilter-HOWTO.html : "But now they became part of the logical bridge device and therefore need no IP configuration any longer" and another tutorial said that i should not assigned IP address first to the NICs card before configure the bridge nor set DHCP for it. So, may be that was my fault :) Ok, i'll try to set it up again (end of this week...). Thanks Rick....!

Thanks Rick....! > > Best Regards, > Jhon Ramawi Putra > In your case you need Computer A to act as a router, not a bridge. A bridge sits between different segments of the *same* subnet, and provides a transparent link between the two. It may, or may not, have an IP address which is part of the same subnet. In your case you have two different networks on either side of Computer A, 10/8 on one side and 192.168.0/24 on the other side, so the machine needs to act as a router between these networks. Eth0 and eth1 are already setup to be part of each network, so all you need is to configure routing to route packets between eth0 and eth1 for these two networks. -- 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 cutewang520 at yahoo.com Tue Jul 26 20:00:58 2005 From: cutewang520 at yahoo.com (Cindy H.

You can change the kernel serial port settings to match the settings in the Phoenix BIOS, as Rick suggested. However, I think that it will be better to change the settings in Phoenix BIOS to match the settings the kernel expect (most probably, the settings in the non-Phoenix BIOS match the kernel expected settings), so you will not need to change kernel settings when move hard disk from one computer to another. By default the kernel will expect serial port working in the mode 9600n8.

You can change the kernel serial port settings to match the settings in the Phoenix BIOS, as Rick suggested. However, I think that it will be better to change the settings in Phoenix BIOS to match the settings the kernel expect (most probably, the settings in the non-Phoenix BIOS match the kernel expected settings), so you will not need to change kernel settings when move hard disk from one computer to another. By default the kernel will expect serial port working in the mode 9600n8.

Yes, putting the cache on RAID5 slows it down. It's kind of silly to put the cache on RAID of any kind as it's transient in nature and you can use your RAID for much better (and appropriate) things. You can think of the cache in the same way as the swap drive (if you use a separate drive for swap). Swap gets rewritten on reboot and gets overwritten when needed. If the swap drive dies, so what? Replace it and get on with life. The data that was on it isn't persistent and would eventually be overwritten by other requests anyway. The cache is exactly the same way. I wouldn't bother with RAID of any kind for cache or swap. It IS a good idea to put swap or cache on the fastest media you have. A farking HUGE RAM disk is best. Wide SCSI-3 with a fast controller is next, SATA next, with IDE bringing up the rear. The idea here is to have the cache keep the system from hitting the slower media in the first place. >>-----Original Message----- >>From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com >>[mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of >>Peeyush Maurya >>Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 10:19 AM >>To: ajay; Getting started with Red Hat Linux >>Subject: Re: squid >> >>Hi Ajay, >> >>SQUID on RAID wont crash the computer, but it wont perform >>that well.

The config file is /etc/dovecot.conf. Look through it and see if there's anything obviously not right for your installation, and then service dovecot start If it starts happily, give it a test. If it doesn't, check /var/log/messages for clues. If it starts ok, but something doesn't work right, check /var/log/maillog and then edit the config file as required. Oh, and you'll want to chkconfig dovecot on to assure that it comes up on the next boot.

Let "groupadd" and "useradd" do the dirty work: groupadd -r dovecot useradd -r -g dovecot -c dovecot -d /usr/libexec/dovecot -s /sbin/nologin dovecot The above is gleaned from the way the post-install script for the dovecot RPM set up my system. The "-r" tells it to use a numerical groupid and userid down in the system area (1-500, maybe it's 1000, now). "man groupadd" and "man useradd" for more explanation.

It looks like the group was still there, but the user was gone. Now SquirrelMail works! In reading docs last night, I saw something about a change in folder structure that I'll have to deal with. None of the folders copied over from the old machine showed up in SquirrelMail. They show up in Pine ok, though. But, I'm much closer now to having it work. Thanks!

Changes in Kernel Message-ID: <19266325.1122760976450.JavaMail.root@vms069.mailsrvcs.net> Hello I am not sure what level of detail you are looking for, but two things come to mind, that I have read recently. 1.) At www.LinuxDevices.com, a guy (Senior Product Mgr) for "TimeSys" has a couple articles on what's new in Kernel 2.6... Look for Articles by William VonHagen of TimeSys... I believe that he is an excellent writer and at the Expert Level of Linux. 2.) One of my Hero's is Greg Kroah-Hartman. He has written numerous articles for Linux Journal (www,linuxjournal.com) so check there or Google (search) for the name... He, too, is outstanding, is a heavy duty kernel guy, but writes really interesting stuff... paulc >From: Bassam ALHUSSEIN >Date: Sat Jul 30 16:34:27 CDT 2005 >To: redhat-install-list at redhat.com >Subject: Again ...
