It was caused by Symantec partition magic and what I needed to do was only to add the line makeactive in the Grub boot for WinXp!! Now everything run good. But I have a couple of other problems with RHEL: It doesn't see the internal modem of my pc, neither the usb isdn modem! So I am not able to access to the internet. How can make it see them? The other problem is with the cd-dvd-drive. It seems that some cds are not readable but the problem is that I'm sure that these cds work because I can open them with WinXP, and they are the redHat installation discs!!! Anyway I wanna say very very Thanks to you all for all your reply, and I'll be waiting for your precious answers.

Last week I wanted to install Fedora 3 on a spare older machine but had trouble getting it to boot from CD. So rule out the CD. Plan B was a network install. If installation CDs are copied onto a different linux box, the target machine uses ftp to get access and the installation proceeds. The key to doing it is booting the target machine from a special floppy which gives it a network driver and ftp client, and launches the anaconda installer by somehow loading it from the server box. But I found that as of Fedora 2, this stuff got too big and no such floppy is available anymore. So I did the network install using RedHat 9 instead, which is now on the box, running fine. My question is, if I still wanted to get from RedHat 9 to Fedora 3 by an "upgrade" installation, could I do it? I would copy the Fedora 3 disks onto the ftp server machine. Now (unlike last week) RedHat9 provides me the needed ftp client platform, so I don't need any boot floppy for that. But how would I trigger the load-and-launch of anaconda from the server to get the installation rolling?

Linux will take care of the rest. well it's good and if you are unable to boot win i.e. can find your data. boot from linux and mount win partition in linux to recover data. if u can not mount it is very difficult to get data. ex:- mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt if your windows partition is hda1 with ntfs file system. rgds ajay > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > - 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. - > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > _______________________________________________ > 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 sysadmin at tivimtech.com Mon May 2 10:52:50 2005 From: sysadmin at tivimtech.com (ajay) Date: Mon, 2 May 2005 16:22:50 +0530 Subject: I need Help RedHat-Windows XP References: <4202030C00B1FB2D@mail-relay-1.tiscali.it> (added bypostmaster@mail-relay-1.tiscali.it) Message-ID: <004e01c54f05$16084a40$260210ac@tivimnet> ----- Original Message ----- From: Roberto To: 'Getting started with Red Hat Linux' Sent: Saturday, April 30, 2005 8:09 AM Subject: R: I need Help RedHat-Windows XP > Thank you very much for your reply. > I've just tried the commands you told me to use in the last part of you > reply, but nothing seems to be changed. > In fact windows xp crashes with a blue screen that say that Session Manager > Initialization has stopped in un unattended way, and so the system has been > closed. > In these conditions I really can do nothing, I am not able to reinstall > windows without erasing its partition and with that all my important data. > It's for this reason I asked you for a way to recover and save my Windows > files from Linux, that is now the only os I can start. > Thank you again > > Roberto, Italy > robgenna at tiscali.it > > -----Messaggio originale----- > Da: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com > [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] Per conto di Rick Stevens > Inviato: venerd? 29 aprile 2005 22.56 > A: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > Oggetto: Re: I need Help RedHat-Windows XP > > Roberto wrote: > > Hi all.

(bloody bouncing mouse buttons) Sorry about the blank post. If the Windows partition is in NTFS format, you'll need to install the NTFS module for Linux to access it. You can get precompiled versions at http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/ I believe Windows has a recovery mode you should be able to boot off the CD. I think you can do an update from there which should fix Windows but leave your user files untouched. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - It is better to have loved and lost.

RHL7.2 through RHL9 are based on 2.4 kernels. FC2, FC3 and RHEL4 are all based on a 2.6 kernel. The 2.6 kernel is too big to fit on a floppy any longer, hence the missing boot floppy. Now, there still is network stuff available, but you must use a larger boot media. CD/DVD is ideal, but failing that, and if you have a machine that has the ability to boot from a USB device, you can go out and get an el cheapo USB pen (jump) drive--64MB is more than adequate. You then copy the "images/bootdisk.img" from the CD to your pen drive and boot off of it. If you lack the ability to boot from a pen drive, you can download Smart Boot Manager from: http://btmgr.webframe.org/index.php3?body=download.html and install that to a floppy and boot the floppy. SBM will allow you to boot from many different media that your BIOS won't and will give you the ability to boot from your pen drive. Then do the normal network install. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 Mon May 2 19:02:04 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 02 May 2005 12:02:04 -0700 Subject: accessing internet using ftp, ping or http In-Reply-To: <200505012040.j41Ke9pR006680@sj-core-4.cisco.com> References: <200505012040.j41Ke9pR006680@sj-core-4.cisco.com> Message-ID: <4276792C.5050408@vitalstream.com> Pankaj Mandal wrote: > Hi, > > I have a problem accessing the ftp, ping from some machines (some 3 of > them) from a subnet. > > I am told that the particular subnet has access restrictions which > causes ftp, ping etc to fail.

Again, you have a firewall on your router and your network guys will have to allow access for your machines. FTP is tricky since on a standard download request, the remote side must open a reverse connection to you to send you the data you requested. Linux firewalls (iptables) offer connection tracking, meaning that the firewall will allow an incoming connection to be made IF it's related to one already established via an outbound connection (the famous "established,related" option to conntrack). The only ways out I can think of is to make sure you use passive FTP connections instead of standard ones--but that depends on your network people allowing outgoing FTP connections and they may have those blocked, too. The second is to use http-only downloads. Not all sites offer HTTP progressive downloads, however...some simply redirect you to an FTP site. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - I won't rise to the occasion, but I'll slide over to it. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From tpotter at techmarin.com Mon May 2 20:30:37 2005 From: tpotter at techmarin.com (Ted Potter) Date: Mon, 02 May 2005 13:30:37 -0700 Subject: OT - Re: fedora network boot without boot floppy In-Reply-To: <4276770B.2090702@vitalstream.com> References: <4275140A.1000105@dslextreme.com> <4276770B.2090702@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <1115065837.25611.43.camel@interjet.techmarin.com> On Mon, 2005-05-02 at 11:52, Rick Stevens wrote: > David Morgan wrote: > > Can an ftp network install from a server be triggered without a special > > network-install boot floppy or CD? > > > > Last week I wanted to install Fedora 3 on a spare older machine but had > > trouble getting it to boot from CD.

Do a google search with the model of the modems you have and add " +linux" to the end. See if there's a driver out there. > The other problem is with the cd-dvd-drive.

Then try it in interactive mode: ncftpget -u username-on-remote-system -p password-on-remote-system remote-system /some/directory/on/your/local/system * and see if you get any errors. You're screwing something up here. Either you're not using the right username and password for the remote system or you're telling it to look at the wrong directory on the remote system or trying to download to the wrong directory on your system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "The Schizophrenic: An Unauthorized Autobiography" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon May 2 21:50:22 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 02 May 2005 14:50:22 -0700 Subject: R:R:R: I need Help RedHat-Windows XP In-Reply-To: <4212FE75000F5634@mail-8.tiscali.it> References: <4212FE75000F5634@mail-8.tiscali.it> Message-ID: <4276A09E.8060609@vitalstream.com> robgenna at tiscali.it wrote: > Thank You! > I'm now looking for my modem's drivers but it's gonna be hard because it's > the internal one of my laptop, and I don't know it very well!

I suspect you either have an authentication problem or there's an issue with converting Windows-style permissions to Linux-style. We'd need to see the share definition in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file as well as the authentication bits from the [global] section. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Daddy, why doesn't this magnet pick up this floppy disk?" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From owenewo58 at hotmail.com Mon May 2 21:43:02 2005 From: owenewo58 at hotmail.com (wang) Date: Mon, 2 May 2005 14:43:02 -0700 Subject: mail command References: <002401c54a14$38b1b9a0$260210ac@tivimnet><20050426122704.GA6356@xdroop.com><00a801c54b0d$b807bca0$260210ac@tivimnet><426FB71D.2060303@vitalstream.com><000901c54ba0$9c676700$260210ac@tivimnet><42712346.1040108@vitalstream.com><002a01c54c77$a94333a0$260210ac@tivimnet><42729FB6.4030003@vitalstream.com> <1114858696.2106.26.camel@amdk63.homemanordata.nodom> Message-ID: Thank you Chris, > If is used to work, then something has changed to make it not work.

When you log into the SCO box, use the normal shell commands to set the terminal type AT THE SCO BOX'S PROMPT: $ TERM=vt100;export TERM;tput init (assuming a Bourne shell...modify as appropriate for C shell or Korn shell). The telnet client on Linux actually does ANSI (a.k.a. VT100) emulation with extensions (to handle color). The problem is that it sends "xterm" or "linux" to the remote end and SCO doesn't grok that. By telling SCO that it's really a VT100 or ANSI terminal and then doing the "tput init" (to reset SCO's internal emulation mode), both ends will be using the same escape sequences. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Swap memory error: You lose your mind" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ 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 robgenna at tiscali.it Tue May 3 16:29:19 2005 From: robgenna at tiscali.it (robgenna at tiscali.it) Date: Tue, 3 May 2005 18:29:19 +0200 Subject: R: R:R:R: I need Help RedHat-Windows XP Message-ID: <4263ADDB00033FC4@mail-3.tiscali.it> With "toch" I meaned a sort of sound I hear from the cd drive!

Enter this command, but where I show an "x", press CTRL-D and where I show a "y" press the backspace key: stty term x;stty erase y Those commands change the terminate key to a CTRL-D and changes the erase character from the DEL key to the backspace key. So, the whole command would be: TERM=vt100;export TERM;tput init;stty term x;stty erase y (again, replace "x" with a press of CTRL-D and "y" with the backspace key). > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com > [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Rick > Stevens > Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 11:08 AM > To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > Subject: Re: Asni emulator client for Linux rh8.0 > > > Francisco Ruiz wrote: > >>I have a text base application that runs on a SCO box.

You need to find out which drive your CD is first. Check the output of the "dmesg" command and see if you can spot it. Alternately, the normal IDE drive assignments are: master drive on primary IDE: /dev/hda slave drive on primary IDE: /dev/hdb master drive on secondary IDE: /dev/hdc slave drive on secondary IDE: /dev/hdd Once you know, try this command and see if the CD behaves itself: hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc Replace "/dev/hdc" with the appropriate device name from the above table. This disables DMA on that drive (some CDs just don't like DMA). If that works, you can make the setting permanent by editing the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. Find the entry for your kernel and add this to the end of the "kernel" line: nodma=hdc Do NOT put the "/dev/" bit in and replace "hdc" with the appropriate device name. The line should look sort of like: kernel /vmlinux-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet nodma=hdc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - A day for firm decisions!!!

Those "getpeername" failures are not good. Someone, somewhere is using bogus IPs (0.0.0.0). Check your DNS configuration. If you're not using DNS, then check the /etc/hosts file on your Linux machines and your c:\win32\system\lmhosts file on the Windows boxes.

You could use the public RSA or DSA key from ssh-keygen. The keys are generated the first time sshd is started. You'll find the DSA key in the /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub file. The RSA key is in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub. If you need to generate them WITHOUT starting sshd, use: ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key ssh-keygen -q -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key They're reasonably secure. After all, that's how sshd does non-password authentication. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - A day for firm decisions!!!

I'm sure this is pretty straightforward to someone out there. We've got an application that we'll be re-deploying on numerous hardware platforms (99% are RedHat systems). For Security reasons, what would be a pretty solid way at the OS Level to assign a unique system Id for that specific Hardware/OS Level, etc...Basically a type of Key to prevent unauthorized porting to a different machine. It doesn't have to be 100% failsafe, ease of use is preferred. Uname doesn't seem to give enough information at the Linux Level...Any simple scripts or comments well appreciated. ? Thanks, Al The OS part's easy... uname. The hardware is another story though. It all depends on how badly you want to prevent this from happening. You could use a MAC address from the NIC as a hosted, and verify that against the hosted your software knows about. Rick, is there a way to pull a serial number off the motherboard? Sounds like their life would be easier to use a COTS tool like flexlm though. Then just manage the license keys.

Enter this command, but where I show an "x", press CTRL-D and where I show a "y" press the backspace key: stty term x;stty erase y Those commands change the terminate key to a CTRL-D and changes the erase character from the DEL key to the backspace key.

Message-ID: <5bdc1c8b050505151442ce982@mail.gmail.com> Hi, To improve our network reliability we upgraded our router to a newer LinkSys double antenna device and added a wireless access point in the living room instead of using the an internal PCI D-Link card that had caused us so much trouble at that remote location. I'm now getting much better throughput between the router and the equipment in the living room which is great. We set that network up as 802.11g to get the performance. The router and the access point are set to 802.11g only. However, my son's FC2 machine is still using a 802.11g internal card and is running with ndiswrapper. (DWL-510G) I cannot get this card to connect to the new network. I've changed the ESSID on the new network so I changed it on the card. The card sees the network using the command 'iwlist wlan0 scanning' and reports back the correct new ESSID. The ifcfg-wlan0 file has new IP addresses in it, along with the new ESSID. It also has an entry called Bitrate which is set for 54Mb/S. I'd send the config file but the machine's not on the network so it's a bit of work. Nothing I've tried so far allows this device to connect. I haven't tried lowering the network to 802.11b speeds and testing as I need the g level throughput.

You could add a rule to /etc/procmailrc (or ~fax/.procmailrc) to parse and forward it. Assuming the fax account's username is "fax" and that "fax" is aliased to you, how about something like this in your $HOME/.procmailrc: :0 * ^To:.fax # Was it sent to "fax" AND * ^Submitted by:.* # Does it contain "Submitted"? { :0 fhw # Yes, parse rest * ^Submitted by: \/[^ ]* # Pick up who sent the job ! $MATCH # Forward the mail to them. } That should pick up any mail addressed to the user "fax" that also includes "Submitted by:" and forward it to whatever user is specified in the "Submitted by:" line. I won't vouch that this exact script works, but the concept is sound. See "man procmailrc" and "man procmailex" for details on recipes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 gnichols at tpg.com.au Sat May 7 03:03:59 2005 From: gnichols at tpg.com.au (Graeme Nichols) Date: Sat, 07 May 2005 13:03:59 +1000 Subject: APC Backup In-Reply-To: <41A1E9E1.8010508@greyoak.com> References: <41A1E9E1.8010508@greyoak.com> Message-ID: <1115435039.5754.3.camel@barney.localdomain> On Mon, 2004-11-22 at 08:30 -0500, Rob Crittenden wrote: > brad.mugleston at comcast.net wrote: > > I have an APC back-up system (BE-350U) It's USB when talking to > > the computer.

I switched to GMail as it makes my email available to me where ever I go. I decided that I don't get that much confidential email that I care about storing locally so I'm fine with letting Googgle do my backups for me. If there's somethign I don't want sitting on their servers then I download it and keep it locally only. If be 'we' you mean some sort of Enterprise solution then I know of nothing better than Evolution today. It's jsut that Evolution started to feel a bit like Outlook to me. It's getting more complicated and it wasn't clear to a dummy like me that they weren't trapping me in some sort of proprietary file format that would make it hard to get out someday. This whole email thing is such a can of worms, trying to stay in an open format, easy to move to other tools in the future, etc. It's not easy. Cheers, Mark On 5/7/05, Arden B.

It does sound like the LinkSys got fried. Here's what I'd do: 1) Unplug all the cables going into the LinkSys other than the one going to the cable modem. Power cycle the cable modem and the LinkSys. 2) Using an upstairs computer plug it's cable into each port of the LinkSys. Check whether you get a link light on any port of the LinkSys when only using one port. Check the computer's link light also as you change from port to port on the LinkSys. If anything lights up then that's a positive step. If nothing lights up then it's probably the LinkSys. We can proceed when the results are a bit clearer. One question - you said that the 'Xbox works'. In what way? Is it getting to the Internet? That would say some part of the LinkSys is working.

You'll need to get it exported in vCard format and put it on media or in a partition that Evolution can get at (floppy, CD, FLASH, fat32 partition or ntfs partition if you have the ntfs filesystem module). I refuse to use Outlook or any of its kin (Express, Exchange, etc.), so I don't know if it can do vCard exports or not. If it can't, try exporting it to a PDA such as a Palm Pilot or Visor, then use the Pilot Conduits to get it into Evolution. NOTE: The Tapwave Zodiacs are NOT supported as yet on Linux. We're working on it--they sorta work on pilot-link 0.12pre2, but none of the standard desktop stuff (gpilot, etc.) talk to that version of pilot-link yet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - It is better to have loved and lost.

To run it each day at 3 a.m., edit root's crontab and add a line such as: 0 3 * * * /usr/sbin/up2date --install >/dev/null 2>&1 Note that by default, up2date will NOT install kernel updates or kernel-modules updates.

If you use standard MDIX cables (orange pair on pins 1 & 2 on both ends), make sure you have the downlink cables plugged into the "uplink" ports on the other four switches. Note that the "uplink" port is usually tied into the last port on the switch and has the wire pairs on pins 1/2 (usually the orange pair) and 3/6 (usually the green pair) swapped. In other words, you can use the last port OR the uplink port, but not both at the same time. It just saves you from buying a "swapped" or MDI cable. For those who want to know... Standard (MDIX) wire colors (used for switch to computer connections): Pin Connector One Connector Two --- ------------- ------------- 1 Orange/White Orange/White 2 Orange Orange 3 Green/White Green/White 4 Blue Blue 5 Blue/White Blue/White 6 Green Green 7 Brown/White Brown/White 8 Brown Brown Flipped (MDI) wire colors (for switch to switch connections): Pin Connector One Connector Two --- ------------- ------------- 1 Orange/White Green/White 2 Orange Green 3 Green/White Orange/White 4 Blue Blue 5 Blue/White Blue/White 6 Green Orange 7 Brown/White Brown/White 8 Brown Brown An "uplink" port does the MDI flip for you so you can use a standard cable, but use the "uplink" port on ONE switch ONLY.

I'd leave that off or set it to "auto". Set to 'auto' I never get more than 11Mb/S.

The 54Mb/S setting doen't make it. Even when I choose that the setting still shows up as 11Mb/S. I've set the router to now allow bot 11b and 11g. It gets the device connected but slows down transfers between other machines. I'm disappointed. Bummer. Anyway, thanks for the ideas.

You install it under Windows, it imports everything automatically, and then you copy the profile of Thunderbird to Linux, and everything will be ok. I did this and it works very well and it looks nice, nicer dan Evolution. I even have the impression that you can share the profile of Linux and Windows. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Scott Mertens Sent: zaterdag 7 mei 2005 17:42 To: Red Hat Install Subject: Outlook to Evolution Does anybody know a good way to get Outlook contacts to Evolution?

I have a domain registered at a registrar and hosted at a provider. The provider has given me primary and secondary DNS names and ip addresses. I have entered those at the registrar's site.

I now have a new company which has built commercial web pages for me, and I need to make them active. This company says I need to change my DNS addresses with my registrar to make this work. Is this correct? They will then take over hosting the domain (become my NEW provider)? They do NOT do any email, so if I make the DNS server changes at my registrar, will my email break? If not, then I'm not sure I understand how any of this works. I thought that my provider (ISP) puts up A and MX DNS records which allow resolution of my web pages and my email addresses.

The only changes in DNS should be A records for the entries you need to point to the new IP addresses. Provided the domain name is still the same that is. If it's an entirely new domain, then you need to change the A records for that domain. Been there a few times.

Can someone help please? Message-ID: <4281A742.5050702@tpg.com.au> Hello, I have the following UPS device on my FC3 system and I am trying to find the device name for USB devices and I am having no luck at all.

From dmorgan1 at dslextreme.com Thu May 12 03:13:57 2005 From: dmorgan1 at dslextreme.com (David Morgan) Date: Wed, 11 May 2005 20:13:57 -0700 Subject: ananconda upgrade won't mount partition Message-ID: <4282C9F5.5060907@dslextreme.com> I want it to upgrade a copy of RedHat8 but Anaconda can't mount the partition it's in, even though other software does. The target hard disk: /dev/hda1 - RedHat8 (whole filesystem) /dev/hda2 - swap Whenever RedHat8 boots hda1 gets mounted ; you can also mount it under knoppix. Anaconda detects RedHat8's presence and asks if I want to upgrade rather than do a fresh install. Saying yes gets error message: "Error mounting device hda1 as /: invalid argument", the conjecture the partition probably isn't partitioned, and an OK button to reboot (no choice). At that point, if I use the anaconda feature to get an install log (ctrl-alt-F4) I see it tried to mount /dev/hda1 on /mnt/sysimage. Then if I use the anaconda feature to get a root prompt (ctrl-alt-F2) and execute "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/sysimage," it mounts fine. But it's too late to proceed. The OK button will only reboot. This happens with multiple installation disksets (RedHat9, Fedora2, and Fedora3). And with 2 different hard disks, the second a functionally identical (rsync'd) copy of the first. It happens with whichever diskset, on either hard disk. How do people perform upgrade-type installations? Any ideas what's wrong in these cases of mine? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

No one seems to have an answer to any of the questions I have lately. I must have B.O. :-) I have managed to get the name of the device and driver required to get this working on my FC3 system with my APC Back-UPS CS 500 USB UPS The device (on my FC3) is /dev/hiddev0 and the driver is genericups. If that driver doesn't work on your system there are several different drivers you can try. A good set of instructions can be found in 'man genericups'. I believe my UPS is a 'contact closure' type rather than a 'smart' type. Thanks go to Arnaud Quette from MGE UPS Systems for all the driver and device information. He was extremely helpful. Now, I haven't actually set it up yet. Just as I was about to do so my UPS fell over with what appears to be a dodgy relay. I accidently bumped it and the output power disappeared. The UPS reckoned it was entirely happy with itself and all was well. :-) I have a new one on the way. Hope this helps you. Let's know how you go.

The name is from Tolkien's Pits of Angband (compare elder days, elvish). Has been described as "Moria on steroids"; but, unlike Moria, many aspects of the game are customizable. This leads many hackers and would-be hackers into fooling with these instead of doing productive work. There are many Angband variants, of which the most notorious is probably the rather whimsical Zangband. In this game, when a key that does not correspond to a command is pressed, the game will display "Type ? for help" 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time, random error messages including "An error has occurred because an error of type 42 has occurred" and "Windows 95 uninstalled successfully" will be displayed. Zangband also allows the player to kill Santa Claus (who has some really good stuff, but also has a lot of friends), "Bull Gates", and Barney the Dinosaur (but be watchful; Barney has a nasty case of halitosis). There is an official angband home page at http://www.phial.com/angband and a zangband one at http://thangorodrim.angband.org.

I have the the router set for both 11b & 11g. The wireless bridge is set for 11g only. I have one FC2 PC which is showing in it's readouts that it's set for 11b but when I copy files between the bridge and the router I get anywhere from 1.3MB/S-1.7MB/S. The high end of that range (13.6Mb/S) is above 11b speeds so I tend to believe that that I'm getting 11g but it's running slowly. Either that or the numbers are not accurate enough to make a calculation like that. No rush at all on answering.

I partition all my disks so that I can have two operational partition sets, / and /boot for each, plus singles of /home, /usr/local, etc. Then I copy the current operational / and /boot to the spares, adjust /etc/fstab and mount points from the perspective of the spares, and then upgrade that set.

What kind of partitions are on this drive? If in doubt, boot your install disk in rescue mode (put "linux rescue" at the boot: prompt), and then run fdisk -l and report the result. Is the whole drive allocated for Windoze? If so, you will need to shrink one or more of the partitions to provide space for Linux.

You can look at them by typing mail on the command line. You can also look at these messages by importing them into Evolution.

Remember that wine is just a Windows API/wrapper around Linux. You will not get the same performance you would running IE under Windows as a native application. Is there a reason you need IE? Firefox is considered the best replacement and there's a native Linux implementation of it (it's what ships with FC3). Most people I know are dropping IE in favor of Firefox for security and performance reasons. If you're visiting websites that are IE-specific, you really should badger the admins of those sites to open them up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Brain: The organ with which we think that we think. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon May 16 16:53:50 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 09:53:50 -0700 Subject: Connecting to VNC hangs my system In-Reply-To: <27ae921605051207293afbda1b@mail.gmail.com> References: <27ae921605051207293afbda1b@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <4288D01E.2080309@vitalstream.com> Shane Presley wrote: > Hello all, > > Using Red Hat ES v3, with all up2date packages. > > I setup VNC to use my root X desktop....using these changes... > > in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers > VNCSERVERS="1:root" > > in /etc/X11/XF86Config > To section Section "Module" add > Load "vnc" > To section Section "Screen"add > Option "passwordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd" > > This worked on other RHEL v3 systems.

In the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers, you've told the system to share display 1--which also causes another vncserver to be spawned to handle that display. You now have essentially two X servers, an X/vnc (on :0) and a vnc-only (on :1). Then you tell vnc client to connect to display :0. Uh, that's not right. It shouldn't lock up, but it's not right. If you wish to share the main display (:0), just use the stuff in /etc/X11/XF86Config (or /etc/X11/xorg.conf for FC2/FC3/RHEL4). Leave the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers stuff commented out and do NOT run the "/etc/rc.d/rcX.d/Sxxvncserver" startup script (you can use "chkconfig --levels 2345 vncserver off" to disable it. It's also a good idea to only permit VNC except as an ssh tunnel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon May 16 17:10:31 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 10:10:31 -0700 Subject: Funny kernel panick error In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4288D407.6080306@vitalstream.com> Waldher, Travis R wrote: > The following is all the error I get.

Yes, that's a hardware glitch. In a uniprocessor system, there are several possible causes. One is a dirty CPU socket. Another is a misaligned PCI card. A third is a hosed interrupt controller (APIC). First step: Power down and open the box. Second, check the PCI slots and make sure the cards are aligned well. If you have a card that doesn't line up exactly correctly with the pins in the socket, lots of weirdness can ensue, and if you've moved the box, the chassis can rack enough to cause an issue. Try reseating all of your PCI cards. You might want to reseat your RAM while you're there. Third, try reseating your CPU. Try to get memtest86 to run. If none of that helps, your APIC or support circuitry may be cooked. There's not much you can do about that unless you're fairly skilled with desoldering and replacing surface-mount chips. At that point, it may be time for a new mobo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - LOOK OUT!!!

My ups.conf consists of: [apcusb] driver = hidups port = /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0 desc = "APC Backup-UPS" The other files are more or less system-generic (e.g. acl's, stuff like that). I have the USB hid and input drivers loaded. I'm running kernel 2.4.29. My installation is/was Red Hat 7.2 but I've manually updated mosted of the packages. Output of upsc looks like: battery.charge: 100 battery.runtime: 600 battery.voltage: 13.4 driver.name: hidups driver.parameter.port: /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0 driver.version: 2.0.0 ups.mfr: American Power Conversion ups.model: Back-UPS 500 FW: 6.5.D USB FW: c1 ups.serial: JBxxxxxxxxx ups.status: OL I should note that I briefly messed around with the newhidups driver in NUT 2.0.1 and wasn't able to get it working. Falling back on the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" policy I'm sticking with hidups and NUT 2.0.0, at least until I break down and install Fedora.

Any suggestion will be helpful. First off, NEVER reply to a message and change the subject. If you're starting a new discussion, post a NEW message. What you did is called thread hijacking and it screws up message threading and the archives. Does /mnt/cdrom (after doing the mount) have permissions that allow the user running the package manager access to the images? Try opening a terminal window, click in it and become root via the "su -" command, then run "redhat-package-manager" as the root user and see if that works. If so, then you have a permissions issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a - - rigged demo. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed May 18 16:57:20 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 18 May 2005 09:57:20 -0700 Subject: need a technical solution please .

You don't say if you're getting an error message or not. Note that the "system.pool" file MUST be a pool config file, since that's what the "-c" flag specifies. The config file format is available at: http://www.pointer.gr/documents/Red%20Hat%20Cluster%20Suite/rh-gfs-en-6.0/rh-gfs-en-6.0/s1-pool-createconf.html > what is the problem here and how can i solve it and result to a pool > written to the /dev/pool. > > it write to me that it is unable to open the whole partitions created > by lvm from (lvma-...lvmo) > each time i use this command. > > and after that i cannot assemble them too.

Not really. That's the internals of ndbm. If you were to recode NIS to use a different database backend, then you could. You might be able to get around it by using makedbm with the "--no-limit-check" option to create the database file first. I won't swear to that working, but hey, it's possible. BTW, this is one of the reasons LDAP was created with the RFC2307 fields. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say... oh, somewhere in there. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From Travis.R.Waldher at boeing.com Wed May 18 18:43:07 2005 From: Travis.R.Waldher at boeing.com (Waldher, Travis R) Date: Wed, 18 May 2005 11:43:07 -0700 Subject: ypserv, groups and ndbm Message-ID: > -----Original Message----- > From: Rick Stevens [mailto:rstevens at vitalstream.com] > Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2005 10:46 AM > To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > Subject: Re: ypserv, groups and ndbm > > Waldher, Travis R wrote: > > Ok, we hit a line limitation with NIS, 1024 characters.

For all intensive purposes the clients should have no problem reading them? Or do the clients also use the ndbm database to read the files in? LDAP is an option... and I will begin looking at converting NIS to LDAP. But I will hopefully be out of this pit of a place and group and working somewhere better before the opportunity to convert would arise.

A hash overflow in ndbm or something of > that nature? I don't think so. As I said, I have very little experience with it. The man page says: --no-limit-check Don?t check for NIS key and data limit. As to its ramifications, there probably aren't any. I suspect that, because Linux' ndbm implementation is layered on top of gdbm, the 1K limit really doesn't exist and makedbm, by default, tries to emulate Sun's behavior. YMMV, caveat emptor, etc. Remember: "If it's stupid and it works...it ain't stupid!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - When in doubt, mumble. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed May 18 23:22:43 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 18 May 2005 16:22:43 -0700 Subject: fonts In-Reply-To: <1116450396.2764.4.camel@localhost.localdomain> References: <1116450396.2764.4.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <428BCE43.5020200@vitalstream.com> Fred Grant wrote: > Since you folks are mostly engineers and the like, maybe you can help > me.

Where I work we receive tests in data format via ftp and flash memory chips that are mailed. The raw data is zipped, when we get it our techs interpret the data and create a report. Now we have the original zipped file +-50mb, The processed file +-85mb and a report at about 5 meg. Until recently we have just moved the finished files compressed on a "tank" machine in the office. We have filled 4 80gig drives. More and more tests are coming in now and im running out of room to put stuff. I was thinking of a Network Area Storage device but then I got to thinking we are eventually going to fill it up too and backing up all this may prove to be quite a task. So now im guessing I should look towards a library / archival setup. Here is where things may get complicated. I can't just on a whim archive stuff. The data is for cardiac testing patients, we are required to keep all the files for at least 7-10 years. My technicians will need to go back 4-5 months at any time to get the information if requested by insurance or the ordering doctor. We were quite small, performing maybe 4-5 tests a week, my boss bought out another company and we are now processing 75+ tests a week. Anyone have any idea of a ready-made solution?

We are a big NAS user (we have over 30TB of NAS storage on-line spread across about 10 Network Appliance F880s for speed reasons). NAS is nothing more than a large, network attached disk drive. The one nice thing about NAS is that you can usually expand the storage on it easily WITHOUT having to shut your systems down to do it. Most use a fiberchannel daisychain to connect storage shelves (which contain the various drives) to the NAS head. The drives are typically hot swappable--which means that you can add drives to a given shelf and grow the filesystem onto those drives on-the-fly. This is certainly true of NetApp and EMC (we have experience with both). I'm sure you can do the same for the various IBM, DiskStor and other NAS systems. NAS is, of course, not anywhere near as fast as native drives, but it doesn't sound as if speed is an issue for you (it is for us, hence our plans to replace the NAS system with a block storage system). Note, however, you will have exactly the same issues regarding backup and archiving as you have with a directly-attached disk. All you've done is move the disks from inside the computer to a box somewhere else and reduced the number of archive/backup cycles (or lengthened the time between them) because you can dynamically grow the disk. Most NAS devices include a SCSI port that you can attach a tape drive or library to directly and have the NAS device do the backup (most have some piece of software that does that) or you can back up the data over the network using something like Veritas or Amanda. Historical archiving is always an issue. There are a number of solutions for that (I mentioned Veritas and Amanda). And, yes, you'll need to set up a database system that tracks the tapes, CDs or DVDs. Most commercial backup solutions include that, but you'd need to build one for Amanda. That's not horrible. You can easily write a script that parses the log from Amanda to inject data into the database. You can also pre-label the tapes and do cronological backups based on the file's ctime (creation time). One of the problems you run into is the backup time itself. If you're trying to back up once a day, you obviously need the backup job itself to take less than 24 hours. Depending on how much has to be backed up, you may need something like ADIC's PathLight, which actually backs up to disk at first (very fast), then the disks are despooled to tape. Remember that there are lots and lots of companies offering various backup/archive programs and solutions. Obviously, the problem is complex or they wouldn't be in business. You know your needs best. You need to draw up a requirements document describing at least: 1. What time periods of data need to be available immediately (the last 30 days, the last two months, the last six months, whatever). 2. How fast the data is growing (this determines the on-line disk requirement) 3. How available the archived data must be (e.g. you can get to any archived data within four hours). 4. Any other requirements or constraints you may have. Once you have that, you can then start looking at commercial or open- source solutions.

Uh, depends on which webmail product you're using. FC3 comes with SquirrelMail. Both it and the other big one (Horde's IMP) use PHP to access the IMAP mail, so you need the php-imap RPM installed (and any dependencies it may have). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Errors have occurred.

I?m just wondering where I can locate these if they are still around. Jeeze! 7.0! 2.2 kernel and the lot! Ewwww! Generally, Red Hat doesn't remaster CDs, so any vulnerabilities should still be present in the .iso files. In other words, if you install the 7.0 ISOs, you'll have a non-patched 7.0. All of the security fixes come in update RPMs. The only case I can recall where RH did remaster the CDs was in the case of the 7.1 (or was it 7.2?) "respin", and that's because the .iso images themselves were corrupted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Never eat anything larger than your head - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon May 23 16:22:04 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 23 May 2005 09:22:04 -0700 Subject: Media check fails on disk3 RHEL-4 In-Reply-To: <45680d1e05052307146dd96364@mail.gmail.com> References: <45680d1e05052307146dd96364@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <4292032C.70808@vitalstream.com> Kim johansen wrote: > When i run a media test on disk3 for RHEL-4 i got FAIL all the time. > > filename: RHEL4-i386-AS-disc3.iso > md5sum: ff57b0f2c1323ca093f86f214c08a070 > > The md5 checksum is okey. Okay, the .iso _file_'s checksum is fine. How about the MD5 checksum on the burned CD? Put the CD in the drive and use: md5sum /dev/cdrom You should get the same checksum as you get from the .iso file. NOTE: Use the raw DEVICE name "/dev/cdrom" for this.

The orange light should tell you something. My guess is that the select logic on the drive went blooey (highly technical term). It happens. There must be a hole somewhere. It should be near the margin of the drawer or near the eject button. I don't think I've seen a drive without one (well, once way back on an Apple Lisa's floppy drive--and then the holes on floppies or CDs with electric eject mechanisms became somewhat mandatory as the Lisa had a penchant for eating floppies). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "You think that's tough?

You have to copy the .iso files to the NFS volume, NOT the deconvolved files. In other words, you should have three "xxxxx.iso" files in the NFS directory. If you don't have the .iso files, you can use the "dd" command to create them. Put a CD in a drive (DON'T mount it--you just want the raw device), then: # cd /shared/directory/on/nfs/server # dd if=/dev/cdrom of=shrike-i386-discX.iso where "X" is the disc number (1-3). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - BASIC is the Computer Science version of `Scientific Creationism' - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From fruiz at tsitrucks.com Tue May 24 17:32:07 2005 From: fruiz at tsitrucks.com (Francisco Ruiz) Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 12:32:07 -0500 Subject: Wine on rh 8.0 Message-ID: <004401c56086$825a3040$cc08a8c0@dallas69> I have installed wine on a HR 8.0.

Both of the older programs are inherently insecure as they send everything over the wire in clear text. ssh encrypts all data (including the username and password during login) and NOTHING goes over the wire as cleartext. ssh can also be used to "tunnel" insecure traffic inside the encrypted ssh session and thereby lend its security to insecure traffic (a good example is tunneling X window traffic). ssh (the client program) and sshd (the server) are included with virtually all Linux distributions. > b) Under the heading Where can I get the SSH program? , It then suggests that SSH client is available for windows 98/NT/95 > > (No Windows 2000 for users waiting to migrate to Linux? ) > > followed by the comment > > 'Freely available on the Internet, you may have to do some digging' ????? There are any number of Windows 2000 ssh clients. "putty" is free and readily available (do a Google search for it). It's fairly bare bones (runs in a DOS window), but it does the job. As for commercial programs, SecureCRT is very good. It's not horribly expensive but it is a GUI-based program and possibly easier for your Windows user to handle. If you wish to control the GUI of Red Hat from your Windows machine, take a look at TightVNC (again, google for it). > c) I have looked for the referenced 'Resouces page' I have searched for the RedHats own SSH download > (surely they must have one if their courses rely on it?) and have, so far, found neither. > > > My initial questions are > > > 1) Is SSH shareware? Do RedHat rely on 'Download.com' etc to facilitate their courses? OpenSSH (the version that comes with Linux) is free (www.openssh.org). putty (the Windows client) is also free. SecureCRT (the other client I mentioned) is commercial. > 2) Where is the web page supplying a RedHat offical support email address (can't find that either!) If you purchased Linux from RedHat, you should have a minimum 1 year support agreement with them. Depending on the license you bought, this may be limited to email or web support only, but you should have received instructions on how to access those resources. Generally, web support from Red Hat is available from this URL: https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/ Note that THIS forum is NOT an official Red Hat support site. While the occasional Red Hat employee posts here, for the most part, we are just Red Hat users, like yourself. Many of us have years of Red Hat and Linux experience under our belts, but we are NOT Red Hat employees and can't speak to "official" Red Hat policies. > > I am sure Linux is the way forward, but my first impression of RedHats Web site / Elearning, is pure frustration. Windows isn't easy, either, first buck out of the chute. I'm sorry you've had some issues, but go over the documentation you got from Red Hat when you purchased the licenses. I'm sure you can call them at USA, North America: 1-888-REDHAT1 (1-888-733-4281) Worldwide: +1-919-754-3700 and they're tell you what's available and how to get in touch with whomever. In the mean time, keep tuned here and we'll try to help as much as we can. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Artificial Intelligence usually beats real stupidity. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From tonymoey at linuxmail.org Wed May 25 17:07:56 2005 From: tonymoey at linuxmail.org (moey tony) Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 01:07:56 +0800 Subject: post-NFS install problems Message-ID: <20050525170756.5940E21AFF9@ws5-6.us4.outblaze.com> > Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 10:05:16 -0700 > From: Rick Stevens > Subject: Re: post-NFS install problems > To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > > Message-ID: <42935ECC.7000103 at vitalstream.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed > You have to copy the .iso files to the NFS volume, NOT the deconvolved > files.

My computer has a partitioned harddisk of 40 Gbyte. 10 Gbyte is for drive C, 10 Gbyte for drive D and the rest for Linux RH9. Windows XP was installed in drive C. After installing Windows ME in drive D, the Grub does not work any more and I can not use Windows XP and RedHat9.. Now I want to use Windows XP, Windows ME and RH9 together and therefore I install grub with grub-install. With RH9 installation CD, I come to linux rescue mode and have the prompt sh-2.05# I will type the command: grub-install [OPTION] install_device but in the manual, install_device can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename. My problem is : I do not know the name of GRUB device or the filename of system device. Could someone help me please to tell me what is the GRUB device name or system device filename. How should I name the GRUB device or the system device? I want to know whether the device map file exist. In manual, the file is called: /boot/grub/device.map I typed: vi /boot/grub/device.map but it was empty file. How could I look at the file? Thanks in advance for your answer.

I have an x335 running RH Release 9 "Shrike", dmesg says it has 2 Intel Xeon CPUs, 3.2GHz, and another system, same release, running 4 2.8Ghz Xeons. Is that what you're looking for?

I think our setups are somewhat different then. I don't use a virtusertable here. Usually, we just create an alias for outside users that points to their outside email address and we are done. We have a couple users that are working from home so that is how we do it. What we do in other cases, is set up the pop account locally for the user. Have them check mail on our server. But they send mail from their home ISP whatever it may be. Which works very well for users with dynamic IP's. But the error message you are getting. Which server is rejecting the message? I am assuming it's the remote mail server. Perhaps turn up the logging in sendmail to get more data. Usually you can determine some of the issues by the error message. Usually you will see an error code as well. Then you can search sendmail's site or google etc for that error message and maybe find out why it's being rejected.

I can't seem to find the "new" build process documented anywhere. :annoyed: It's very much the same. Building 2.6 kernels is a little easier than 2.4 kernels. You don't need the "make dep;make clean" steps for 2.6 as you did for 2.4. A simple "make [x|menu]config;make install" does it. If you want to build modules, then "make modules" will build the bzImage and modules. If you intend to use the old config file, then cd /usr/src/kernels/2.6-whatever (edit Makefile for the correct version number) cp /boot/config-whatever .config make oldconfig make install If you're building outside the source tree, then you'll need to install the kernel source RPM, copy over the config file from /boot and do the "make oldconfig" to configure the kernel. You should then be able to build your module. > My goal here is to build some bcm5700 and bonding network drivers. It should come with bcm5700 drivers (well, the tg3 version) and bonding.

As I noted in my previous post, 2.6 kernels are a bit different (not a lot, but some). I've not seen RHEL4 up close (well, I've seen CentOS4) and they adhere to the FC2 and FC3 way of doing things. That means that there is no kernel-source-whatever.rpm. You have to download and install the kernel source RPM (called "kernel-version.src.rpm"). Once you've installe that, then you have to do this: cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpmbuild -bp --target=i386 kernel-2.6 Once that's done, there is a full kernel source tree in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6. What I usually do to make it look more familiar is to: cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6 mv linux-shortversion /usr/src/linux-longversion "shortversion" is usually something like "2.6.11" (the major release number). "longversion" would include the patch level ("2.6.11-1.27"). From that you can do the normal 2.6 kernel build by: cd /usr/src/linux-longversion (edit makefile and correct the "EXTRAVERSION" bit) cp /boot/config-longverion .config make oldconfig --OR-- make [x|menu]config make modules --OR-- make bzImage --OR-- make install ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 mostafa_vafa2004 at yahoo.com Fri May 27 17:17:52 2005 From: mostafa_vafa2004 at yahoo.com (mostafa vafadar) Date: Fri, 27 May 2005 10:17:52 -0700 (PDT) Subject: installing lan card Message-ID: <20050527171752.28860.qmail@web32813.mail.mud.yahoo.com> hello dear everyone i am mostafa vafdar. i am from iran. i want know that how to install the lan card in linux. thank you. good bye. --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?

Well, now you know the fine art of getting 2.6 kernel sources installed. I partially quote from the Fedora Core 3 release notes (which was also present in FC2 and since RHEL4 is based on FC2, these also seem to apply to RHEL4): "In order to eliminate the redundancy inherent in providing a separate package for the kernel source code when that source code already exists in the kernel's .src.rpm file, Fedora Core 3 no longer includes the kernel-source package. Users that require access to the kernel sources can find them in the kernel .src.rpm file." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Microsoft is a cross between The Borg and the Ferengi. - - Unfortunately they use Borg to do their marketing and Ferengi to - - do their programming." -- Simon Slavin - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri May 27 22:22:50 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 27 May 2005 15:22:50 -0700 Subject: RHEL4.0 - modprobe.conf In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <42979DBA.9060803@vitalstream.com> Waldher, Travis R wrote: > Ok...

Note what driver the "alias eth0" line says, then do your "lsmod" again. Look for the "mii" module.

Would it be under another name? That's odd. Perhaps they're not mii-friendly. Try "ethtool -i eth0", "ethtool -i eth1", etc. to see which drivers are used for what. Now that I think of it, I have this on an FC2 box (also a 2.6 kernel): [root at xyclone root]# lsmod Module Size Used by forcedeth 18881 0 floppy 58097 0 sg 34145 0 No "mii" listed either, and forcedeth is the network driver: [root at xyclone root]# ethtool -i eth0 driver: forcedeth version: 0.30 firmware-version: bus-info: 0000:00:04.0 Weird. I'll have to investigate that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If this is the first day of the rest of my life... - - I'm in BIG trouble! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rdieter at math.unl.edu Sat May 28 10:17:05 2005 From: rdieter at math.unl.edu (Rex Dieter) Date: Sat, 28 May 2005 05:17:05 -0500 Subject: Which rpm does contain BerkeleyDB on RH9?

Hmmmm. I think our setups are somewhat different then. I don't use a virtusertable here. Usually, we just create an alias for outside users that points to their outside email address and we are done. We have a couple users that are working from home so that is how we do it. What we do in other cases, is set up the pop account locally for the user. Have them check mail on our server. But they send mail from their home ISP whatever it may be. Which works very well for users with dynamic IP's. But the error message you are getting. Which server is rejecting the message? I am assuming it's the remote mail server. Perhaps turn up the logging in sendmail to get more data. Usually you can determine some of the issues by the error message. Usually you will see an error code as well. Then you can search sendmail's site or google etc for that error message and maybe find out why it's being rejected.

This is easy. Just enter into /etc/aliases karuppan1: then run newaliases. And if you want to add for the user to relay mail from your server you would make an entry in /etc/mail/access like as follows. " RELAY" Then you do a makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access providing that is how you have your sendmail set up, to use hash.

Message-ID: I've learned a few things this Memorial day. 1) lsmod - the "used by" column isn't as signifigant as it used to be with the 2.4.x kernels. This actually changed after the 2.5.48 kernel and up. If lspci shows the devices, and they appear to be functioning. As in, the interface comes up and you can use it. That is good enough.

I requested Redhat to document those changes, including their replacement, OR fix the lsmod command to work the way it always has. 2) modules.conf is now modprobe.conf. The "below" nomenclature no longer works: "below bonding e1000 bcm5700" The "options" feature appears to work the same, but I won't know for ure until I get past #3. 3) The bonding driver.

There is an entry in /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.EL-smp-i686/include/linux/if_bonding.h that controls this. The snag is, I'm not 100% sure where I modify it with the 2.6 kernel. The best documentation I've found implies that it would work on a 2.4 kernel. I've got a call in to Redhat for this, but I'll be upset if they tell me it's a development problem and I don't have development support. Even if I do find the part of the header file I need to modify... how do I build it? It's built as a module, not in to the kernel. But there is no bonding.spec file that I could find, as is there is no rpm source to build from either. So, do I recompile the kernel and the module change is picked up at the same time? I don't know yet. I could get the bonding rpm from elsewhere and build it like normal, but I would rather use what Redhat shipped so they can't pull a "well that wasn't ours so it's not our problem" should there ever be a problem in the future.

You need to install the kernel source RPM, do your "rpmbuild -bp" stuff, move the source, copy over the config, edit the Makefile and do ye ol' "make oldconfig". Then edit the /usr/src/linux/include/linux/if_bonding.h, change the size and do a "make modules" ("make modules" forces a "make bzImage" automatically). You can force the NEW bonding module to be loaded by doing an "insmod /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/bonding/bonding.ko", then set up your interfaces as you wish and give it a try. If it works the way you wish, then you can copy the new bonding.ko module to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/bonding/bonding.ko and be done with it. > I could get the bonding rpm from elsewhere and build it like normal, but > I would rather use what Redhat shipped so they can't pull a "well that > wasn't ours so it's not our problem" should there ever be a problem in > the future. That is an issue, and one of my major gripes with Red Hat. I have run several systems with two or more bonded virtual NICs and they work fine. Why Red Hat limits it to a single device is a bit bewildering. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Hello.

Except now that below is no longer a feature that can be used. I need to know that the problems I had 2 years ago(?) with interfaces arbitrarily being loaded with the wrong drivers is fixed.

Odd. Better yet, I looked at an EL 3.0 system, the if_bonding.h file includes the same entries. It appears I may have focused on the wrong problem (the header file) or something else has been modified and that setting now has relevance. So far Redhat's answer is... either a mis-configuration on my end, which is possible, but IMO doubtfull. Unless features changed and weren't documented otherwise it's a bug in the module. "recompiling it should not be an option".

"below" simply tells modprobe that bonding uses e1000 and bcm5700. I don't know that the e1000 entry was necessary, but kudzu likes to bind the tg3 driver to Broadcom chips when the system is configured. Essentially anything you could do with "above" or "below" can be accomplished using modprobe.conf's "install" command. See my comments further on (I almost said "below" :-)) for details. >>>3) The bonding driver. Apparently, someone decided that no one > > would > >>>ever want to use more than 1 interface.

Actually, some time this week I'll be configuring up some systems that will require two bonding interfaces. These will be done on both ES3 (2.4 kernel) and CentOS 4 (2.6 kernel--essentially a whitebox ES4 distribution) systems and I'll get some hands-on with those. > So far Redhat's answer is... either a mis-configuration on my end, which > is possible, but IMO doubtfull. Unless features changed and weren't > documented otherwise it's a bug in the module. "recompiling it should > not be an option". Well, humph! You should have stuff such as this: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0: DEVICE=bond0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=www.xxx.yyy.zzz NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond1: DEVICE=bond01 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: DEVICE=eth0 MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1: DEVICE=eth1 MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2: DEVICE=eth2 MASTER=bond1 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3: DEVICE=eth3 MASTER=bond1 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet Then, in /etc/modprobe.conf: alias eth0 bcm5700 alias eth1 bcm5700 alias eth2 e1000 alias eth3 e1000 install bond0 /sbin/modprobe -a eth0 eth1 && /sbin/modprobe bonding alias bond0 bonding options bond0 mode=x,miimon=100,primary=eth0,etc. install bond1 /sbin/modprobe -a eth2 eth3 && /sbin/modprobe bonding alias bond1 bonding options bond1 mode=x,miimon=100,primary=eth2,etc. You get the idea. The "install" lines above the "alias bondX" lines force the ethernet modules to load before the bonding driver does, and this is how you accomplish what "below" used to do. If you look at the logic, it makes up a shell pipeline where the "modprobe eth0 eth1" has to be done BEFORE the "modprobe bonding" is run. Ah, the logical "&&" operator rears its ugly-but-useful head! Note also that the bonding driver won't load unless drivers for BOTH cards that make up the bond are loaded. If either fails, bondX won't be created. BTW, the reason you may have to use the install command is that the "ifup" commands are run based on the ASCII sort order of the "ifcfg-xxxx" filenames in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, and "bondX" comes before "ethX", right? (NOTE TO Red Hat and/or kernel guys: Someone really oughta fix that ruddy /etc/rc.d/init.d/network script so bonding devices are brought up last--or at least after all of their respective slaves are alive!) FWIW, the current "readme" for bonding should be in /usr/src/linux-whatever/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and should have all the gory details--yet another good reason to have the kernel source installed if you have the space to do it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - You know you've landed gear-up when it takes full power to taxi. - - -- Chuck Yeager - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue May 31 21:14:44 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 14:14:44 -0700 Subject: how to host multiple sites on apachee In-Reply-To: <34087.207.173.117.242.1117571429.squirrel@ourldsfamily.com> References: <000701c564d3$4d14e820$9f278304@eniac> <003101c564eb$fed08de0$260210ac@tivimnet> <34087.207.173.117.242.1117571429.squirrel@ourldsfamily.com> Message-ID: <429CD3C4.1090106@vitalstream.com> karlp at ourldsfamily.com wrote: >>thanks brandms , i will see in these .conf files and dig docs and mauals >>at apachee website . > > > I host multiple sites via a single IP address and instead of 192.168.1.1 i > put a '*' in the config files.

More specifically, you must have a "NameVirtualHost *" line in httpd.conf to enable named virtual hosts. Then you can have multiple ServerName www.domain.tld DocumentRoot /x/y entries.
