You could try it in a test environment, build the kernel module and xorg module and distribute that and the libs that get replaced using rdist or rsync to your other workstations (or to one other workstation in a test environment). They are a binary only module and therefore have little support from RH but you may be able to get support from nvidia as well. Unfortunately I've not used the tablet so that and its drivers are unknowns to me. Hope that helps.

Message-ID: <20051102191454.98128.qmail@web33508.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Hi All, How can I add a route on a RHEL3 Linux machine: for example, I like to route to host CDIOC1 (134.79.185.200) via RTR-SLCCP2 (172.19.55.6)? I tried the following, but it doesn't work: On command line: route add -host 134.79.185.200 gw 172.19.55.6 dev eth0 To activate at reboot: Create a file /etc/sysconfig/static-routes that contains one line in the form eth0 host 134.79.185.200 gw 172.19.55.6 eth0 Thanks, JC __________________________________ Yahoo!

If starting sshd doesn't work, you could still use this trick to try a variety of other things that people have described (starting/enabling telnet, generating reports that might suggest why it's not working, etc.) You could even write a script/daemon that would check very frequently for new files uploaded into another directory, which would basically give you capability to run whatever command you want. If that description isn't clear, let me know, I'll send a mock-up of the kind of thing I mean.

Can I install this somehow and fix the problem, without deleting hard drive. You basically have three choices at this point: 1) Boot from rescue media and reinstall the previous glibc. 2) Attempt an upgrade to a newer release of the OS over the existing install. You will want to take care to choose the upgrade option and NOT format any of the existing partitions. This may work but is not guranteed. 3) start clean with a new install assuming you have recent backups of your data and config files. Before trying either 1, 2 or 3, you might want to make sure you have a backup copy of your important data. -- Matthew Galgoci GIS Production Operations Red Hat, Inc 919.754.3700 x44155 From mario-a-cova at ptinovacao.pt Tue Nov 8 18:56:09 2005 From: mario-a-cova at ptinovacao.pt (Mario Cova) Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2005 18:56:09 -0000 Subject: Monitoring script Message-ID: <75D349FBF7C131408F5061B7168072C301E31FBE@INOAVREX06.ptin.corpPT.com> Hi!

What matters is the SATA controller. I still doubt whether RH9 would recognise any SATA controller unless you install a rather recent kernel (atleast 2.4.23 IIRC). In any case why do you want to install RH9 now? Its obsolete. Get Fedora Core 3/4.

Based on my web searching, I was afraid that it wouldn't work but was looking for some confirmation. The goal for RH9 is some consistency on our network. We run FC2/FC3 on all of our opteron systems (production servers, actually) but run RH9 on our Intel boxes. The system that I need to load is an Intel box, so I wanted to stay consistent. But I guess I'll go with FC3 instead. OTOH we are looking at going with RHEL (4, I think) for our new cluster that will run Rocks. So yet more RH diversity on our network. :-) Thanks again, Debbie On Fri, Nov 11, 2005 at 12:49:50AM -0800, John Rumpelein wrote: > Absolutely right -- at risk of getting thrown off the list ;) , CentOS > is basically the same as RHEL without commercial support.

So yet more RH diversity on our network. :-) If you want stability and consistency Have a look at CentOS. It is a rebuild of RHEL. As such there will be a much longer useful life expectancy. RHL anything is LONG past its expiration date for any new installations.

If you have root password get in single user mode and clear up some space. As you mention, no root password, then you need to boot in rescue mode using a rescue CD. the first installation cd can be used as a rescue disk. most probably, you should should be able to reclaim some space from /var/log. --saurabh From davidwilk at gmail.com Mon Nov 28 20:24:35 2005 From: davidwilk at gmail.com (David Wilk) Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2005 13:24:35 -0700 Subject: dhclient and dnsdomainname (hostname -d) Message-ID: Howdy all, I help administer a RHEL3 server and dhclient-script is a bit flakey and will not always set dnsdomainname.
