I recommend using the mail command instead:

  echo 'Some text here' | mail -s 'Test message' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or
  cat sometextfile | mail -s 'Test message' [EMAIL PROTECTED]


If you need to send MIME attachments, try my sendfile script:

  http://www.pobox.com/~agreene/downloads/

It's pretty simple. The syntax is:

  sendfile filename recipient1[,recipient2]

It sends a single file to one or more recipients, using the MIME type
specified in /etc/mime.types or ~/.mime.types.

No. Prioritisation RedHat put into kernel is just stupid beyond belief.
"a = nice(0); iopl(3); b = nice(0);" must return same values for a and b.
As iopl() can be done only by root's apps, they can call nice() themselves
if they think that they need higher priority.

New nice() behavior is just pure crap invented by braindead engineer.
You must do:

  errno = 0;
  ret = nice(xxx);
  if (ret == -1 && errno != 0) panic("AIO: NOT IMPLEMENTED... ")

and it is stupid, as other parts of standard say that errno is
undefined when function did not fail. So nice() always setting
errno to 12345 on success is also conforming.

And BTW, I put new vmware update package on platan:
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update19.tar.gz.

As you can derive from filename, we finally have one update
package for all VMware versions here, beginning with
VMware Express, through VMware 2/3, ending with GSX 1/2.

VMware 3.2 support is tested on latest 2.5.41-bk (the one which
does not provide get_free_page anymore), GSX2 on 2.5.41, and
other systems... well, they worked before and I hope that I
did not break them. You can complain here, if it does not work.

Re: Samba

[Ted Gervais]

Thanks..

I have that installed.  It came with the RH8.0 files. However, it is a 
limited version of swat, in that in only allows you to see a few things and 
change the passwd but not able to edit the smb.conf file etc..  Maybe I 
need a new/annother version of swat??

Apart from that - this utility sure seems to be the right way to go..

Not currently being a VMware user, I'm afraid that I don't have the URL in 
question.  I'm going off of previous discussions, here on the RHL, where a 
few folks noted that they were having problems, and someone found a patch 
and/or workaround.

Re: Keyboard dead key problem

[Henry Pijffers]

Hello,

Dead keys enable one to type characters with Umlauts, circonflexes, 
the extra Scandinavian letters, etc. An o-Umlaut for example, is made 
by first typing a double quote (which doesn't appear on the screen, 
unless you type an extra space), and then the o, which results in the 
o-Umlaut (which I can't demonstrate right now, because my dead keys 
have disappeared...). The Danish  for example (the a with a little 
o on top of it) is done by typing RightAlt-zero and then a. Another 
one is the Danish o, with the slash through it, it's done by simply 
typing RightAlt-o. Those are some examples of dead keys. And I'd like 
'em back, cause I really can't type my language(s) very well without them.

regards,
Henry Pijffers

This is more of a question than an answer on this one.  Swat is a fine
tool but I saw an rpm once for a - 

redhat-config-samba package  

What the heck does that do?

I usually configure samba by hand and was just curious.

There is a problem with this, see the man page: "man 2 execve"
Near the end of the page is the following (in the Notes section):
  "Linux ignores the SUID and SGID bits on scripts."

This means you cannot create a script based SUID wrapper.  It can
still be 
done with a very small c program.  An example of one was posted to
this list
earlier today under this same topic..

RE: [RH List] Re: A Troublesome Little Problem with Syslog

[Rick Carroll]

Rob,
Syslogd does name lookups. (See man page for -x)
Probably the quickest way to find out if there is a lookup problem is to go to the log 
server and type:
getent hosts xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and see which name you get.
Is venus/aphrodite  defined (with the IP pointing to Aphrodte) in the system logger 
machine (/etc/hosts) or is it defined in DNS?  If so, is the reverse lookup zone for 
the IP address setup with the name Aphrodite or Venus?
And finally are you running name service cache demon (nscd)? (My man page does a 
marginal job of describing the behavior of nscd.)
If so, /usr/sbin/nscd -i hosts will invalidate and rebuild the host cache. 

Also, check /etc/nsswitch.conf to see what the lookup order is for hosts.

The more versatile networking becomes the more complicated problems with forward and 
reverse name lookups get.

Hope this helps.

Rick Carroll

It was re-booted I'm sure. That seems like it should be the trick though. 
I'll take an opportunity to re-boot it again, maybe later this evening, and 
see if that does the trick.

I do not have NIS running.

I got this one resolved last night. "Somehow" (and I'm still looking

Once I put that back, sshd started back up, and all is well with the world.

would die immediately, having no affect on your current process.
This would mean that your next call to system would start off in the
same directory you started in, no change.  If you want the change of
directories to have any affect on the environment your script is going to
run in you must do the cd within the subshell, eg. - within your script.
OR you could use a call to "chdir" within your program (see "man 2
chdir") to change the directory your current process is actually in.
that state would then be inherited bu the subshell which the "system"
call would spawn off.

"system" actually performs "/bin/sh -c ".  The assumptions inherent
here can cause problems.
The "system" man page actually warns against using it for SUID or SGID
scripts.  Here is the relevant text from the "man 3 system" page:


Do not use system() from a program with suid or sgid privileges, because
strange values for some environment variables  might  be used  to  subvert
system integrity.  Use the exec(3) family of functions instead, but not
execlp(3) or execvp(3).  system() will not, in fact, work properly from
programs with suid or sgid privileges on systems on which /bin/sh is
bash version 2, since  bash 2 drops privileges on startup.   

The  check  for the availability of /bin/sh is not actually performed;
it is always assumed to be available.  ISO C specifies the
check, but POSIX.2 specifies that the return shall always be non-zero,
since a system without the shell is not conforming, and it
is this that is implemented.


This is why I use execl.  My example (posted yesterday), was cut down from a
much larger program which had a specific purpose.  It can be made smaller, and
I like the way you presented the system call in your example.  I recommend
using the execl call but implement the small single purpose program in the
fashion you have constructed your example.

Black screen during installation of RD 8.0

[Alexis MOREAU]

Hello everybody,
Yesterday one my HD under Windows died (RIP) and I decided to make an installation with RH 8.0.
First problem : when Anaconda tries to go on installation screen, all become black, and everything looks like it was crashed.
So I launched the installation on text mode, and everything was OK, all products were detected (not for my iiYama screen, which was not seen).
Second problem, installation of XF86, I have a black screen too at the test step to see if all is OK ; my screen is not detected, but it is very strange to crash the computer. I must begin the installation again, because no XF86config file is created when everything is black.
Do you know what's going on ? I have a MSI mothercard with the chipset nForce 1 (nVidia), and a iiYama MT900 1600*1200 maximum.

Any comments?

Re: red hat 8.0 and vmware 3.0

[James Pifer]

FWIW, I have VMWare 3 running on Redhat 8 with the patch
vmware-any-any-update20 installed. The previous post talked about a 19
patch so I assume I have a later release. All the kernel talk didn't
make any sense to me, but what I can say is that my RH8 machine
performed horribly whenever I ran VMWare, even with patch20 installed.
My machine is an Athlon 1.2 with 1gig of RAM. I don't run VMWare on it
right now because performance was that bad. 

If there's a more recent patch or workaround (that I understand... :-)
...) I'd love to try it. I'd be happy to share the patch20 I have if
anyone wants to email me directly. 

HTH,
James

manually?? Have you looked at ntp ? Network Time Protocol allows you to 
setup a central time server at your location (man ntpd) that stays in 
sync with the atomic clock. You can then have all your clients sync from 
your site server. This is fairly easy (couple of lines in 
/etc/ntp.conf), and very reliable. I have 30+internal clients, and 
another dozen at two different sites all synced to within about .001 
second of one another.

You need to use the unsubscribe info that was sent to you at the time
you subscribed (and that should be getting sent to you about once a
month) or go to www.redhat.com and unsubscribe the same way that you
subscribed in the first place.  No one here can unsubscribe you.

SAMBA/CUPS print queue

[Graeme Coates]

Hi all,

Probably a quick question which I think may be configuration related:

When I try to view the print queue on my RH8 box from a Windows XP
workstation on the same network, I get an "Access denied. Unable to
connect." message, meaning I can't view the queue from WinXP, even
though I can print to that printer via SAMBA with no problems. This also
caused problems as if I print with the RH box off, it will queue the
items in Windows but never sends them later as it is always unable to
connect.

I'm thinking either I have a permission wrong, or my smb.conf is out of
line... any ideas?

smb.conf (relevant lines):

[global]
workgroup = HILLBURY
netbios name = ARIES
server string = Samba Server 
bind interfaces only = True
interfaces = eth0 192.168.0.1
hosts deny = ALL

RE: red hat 8.0 and vmware 3.0

[Christopher Lyon]

This link that Ed G provided has a bunch of patches including patch24. I
will see how that works out. As far as the performance issue I noticed
that it loves memory so the more you have in your system the better.
When I did that it was much better but I do have a Tyan 2460 with two
Athlon 1.9's ready to be installed so we will see how that works.

Hardware suggestions for R/H Workstation

[Gordon Ewasiuk]

Hi List,

I'm selling my Ultra 10 and looking to buy a high powered workstation to
run Redhat.  I'm inclined to do the usual "build your own" model and
select the best components(motherboard, CPU, ram, etc.) for the job.  Does
anyone have an suggestions about specific motherboards, processors, or
other components?   Are there any Redhat specific hardware sites?

Also, I tried to order a prebuilt system via the usual suspects - Dell,
IBM, HP, Compaq...but was surprised to find that NONE offered to install
Redhat 8 on a system.  Does anyone know of any system vendors that will
preinstall Redhat 8?   And what happened to the deal between Redhat and
Dell???

Offlist replies welcome.  Will summarize/publish to www site if there's
interest...

regards,

-gordon

Re: SAMBA/CUPS print queue

[Shannon Neumann]

This kind of depends on a couple of things.  First, I am going to assume 
that you are NOT using the Samba box as a Domain Controller for your 
Windows boxes.  Having said that, this problem comes up when you are 
logged on to the Windows box as an administrative user who does not have 
root level privileges on the linux box.  It has to with the specific OS 
calls that are used to access the print queue, which are briefly 
explained in the man pages.  Below, I have included the line you can add 
to smb.conf to correct it, as well as the relevant section of the 
smb.conf man page.


What you can do is add the following line to the globals section of your 
smb.conf to apply it to all printers:

use client driver = yes

Now, here I have included the relevant section of the smb.conf man page:

use client driver (S)
This parameter applies only to Windows NT/2000 clients. It has no affect 
on Windows 95/98/ME clients. When serving a printer to Windows NT/2000 
clients without first installing a valid printer driver on the Samba 
host, the client will be required to install a local printer driver. 
From this point on, the client will treat the print as a local printer 
and not a network printer connection. This is much the same behavior 
that will occur when disable spoolss = yes.

The differentiating factor is that under normal circumstances, the 
NT/2000 client will attempt to open the network printer using MS-RPC. 
The problem is that because the client considers the printer to be 
local, it will attempt to issue the OpenPrinterEx() call requesting 
access rights associated with the logged on user. If the user possesses 
local administator rights but not root privilegde on the Samba host 
(often the case), the OpenPrinterEx() call will fail. The result is that 
the client will now display an "Access Denied; Unable to connect" 
message in the printer queue window (even though jobs may successfully 
be printed).

If this parameter is enabled for a printer, then any attempt to open the 
printer with the PRINTER_ACCESS_ADMINISTER right is mapped to 
PRINTER_ACCESS_USE instead. Thus allowing the OpenPrinterEx() call to 
succeed. This parameter MUST not be able enabled on a print share which 
has valid print driver installed on the Samba server.

See also disable spoolss

Default: use client driver = no


I hope this helps.

Several answers:

RedHat Hardware Compatibility List:

http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/

I've found in the systems I handroll that so long as I double-check the 
HCL, I'm fine.

I tend to agree on Asus/Micron, and might I add AMD for the CPU. 
Intel=overpriced! I also agree that integrated sound/video, while cheap, 
is ... well... cheap.

We have used http://www.penguincomputing.com (not-a-paid-endorsement) 
for many of our server and workstation needs. Great hardware, good 
support, very competitive prices.

As far as Dell goes, they cancelled that several months ago due to a 
lack of interest. You can still get your Dell servers intalled with RH, 
or without an operating system at all. Installing RH on *most* Dell 
hardware is a breeze.

RE: Hardware suggestions for R/H Workstation

[Randy Williams]

Greetings,

I have had to search, but I have found that all the big vendors do, in
fact, sell Red Hat capable equipment (whether they are up to RH8 or not
is a question), but they do not put it on their front web pages due to
agreements with MS.  (That's not just my anti-MS attitude, that's what
I've been told by my Dell, HP and IBM reps..)

I have personally seen RH8 stuff on the Dell and HP websites, and I have
previously negotiated with Dell for two of their PowerEdge 2650 servers
complete with RHAS.

I know you won't need that much power, but maybe that will help your
search.  From the main website, find the search button and type in Red
Hat, see what you get.

Also, I have had great luck with SOYO and Epox parts using both
Intel/AMD processors and DDR/SDRAM.

Just my .02

I happen to be fond of Soyo motherboards, although beware of the Promise
IDE chipsets.  They can be a headache.  NVidia, while providing
binary-only drivers, has done an outstanding job of supporting Linux
with their video cards.  I haven't had a chance to try any of the new
ATI Radeon cards, so I can't vouch for them (I know Windows performance
is on par with the NVidia's, but drivers make a *huge* difference so
they may not do as well on Linux).  Integrated peripherials aren't
really a problem as long as upgrade paths are provided.  Beware of
motherboards with integrated video that don't have an AGP slot!  Yes,
they're out there.  HP is notorious for this.  


In fact, be very wary of consumer-oriented HP PC's.  They tend to cut
corners on every component (slowest RAM, no AGP slot, crappy video
chipset).  I had a HP Pavilion P3 800 with PC100 RAM in it (provided by
my employer) and no AGP slot.  I ended up sticking a PCI Voodoo 3 in it
to get decent video. It sucked.  Not to mention the fancy plastic case
was a nightmare to work in (RAM *under* power supply, anyone?).


Get the fastest DDR RAM you can (what is it 333 now? or has 400 hit the
market?) and get lots (256MB is *minimum* for a high-powered machine,
I'd recommend at least 512MB - it isn't that expensive).  Crucial seems
to be recommended a lot.

As for Athlon vs Pentium 4... I'm not sure that a consensus has been
reached.  They each shine in certain benchmarks.  I've been quite happy
with the two Athlon systems I have.  I think I'd go for price at this
point.  Given the fastest of either chip, I doubt anyone could tell the
difference in actual use.

I think the hardware vendors are just lagging behind.  I know HP was
still shipping RH 6.2 systems last year (!!!).  If you pick up a Dell or
HP with RH 7.x preinstalled, I don't expect you'll have any problems
installing 8.0 on the same PC.

Re: Hardware suggestions for R/H Workstation

[Tibbetts, Ric]

I think you can get Dell with Redhat pre-installed. But not at the 
consumer level. From what I understand, it's just at the business level 
(servers).

There are a couple of vendors out there selling pre-built Linux boxes. 
In fact, I was recently involved in helping set one up (it's not ready, 
so I'm not publishing the name of that one).

A couple of companies that are selling pre-built boxes:
*Disclaimer* I do not work for any of these companies, nor do I have any 
first hand knowledge of their products. I am presenting them only as a 
reference, and do not actively encourage anyone to buy their products. 
Before purchasing any products from these companies, you are highly 
encouraged to investigate the companies, and their products first!*

www.aslabs.com
www.penguincomputing.com
www.wallmart.com  (yup.. Wally-World sells pre-loaded Linux boxes. I 
believe that they're pre-loaded with Mandrake).

www.tlinesystems.com  (web site up, but not yet completed). Leave them a 
note of interest. Maybe it will motivate them to get it finished!

Best distribution wrt pkg management

[Chinmay Nadkarni]

I have been on Redhat 7.2 for well over a year now, but I dont like the 
package management system (rpm) that redhat provides (Two words -

I am thinking of trying some other distribution just for that. What are 
some of the other distributions to look out for ... I have seen some

There are tools to help with this.  I personally like apt-get, but you
can also take a look at Ximian's Red Carpet.  They greatly simplify
installing new applications and upgrades.  Apt seems better suited for
installing new software (provided you have a decent repository list to
provide the software) while Red Carpet is good for keeping up with the
stock RedHat stuff and Ximian enhancements.

I suspect you're going to have package management issues wherever you
go.  It's the achilles' heel of any package management system.  Ask
Microsoft (whence the term 'dll hell') if they've thought of a good fix
for Windows

Debian seems to be a crowd pleaser.  And the parent of apt.  Another
I've been hearing endlessly about of late is Gentoo.  Of course, the
further you move from a mainstream distro, the less user-friendly the
installs become and don't expect any nice tools like redhat-config-*.
Just a heads-up.

Check that you have mouse properly configured.  You should have a three
button mouse, or use three-button emulation mode.  You can modify your
mouse configuration by running, as root, '/usr/sbin/mouseconfig'.  Make
sure you select either the appropriate three button mouse driver, or
choose three button emulation mode to paste when clicking both buttons
at once.

Hope this helps.

I'll second this; I've got two of these, running an XP1600
and an XP1700 (with the XP1600 OCed without really trying
to 140MHz FSB (280 DDR).  These are "the bomb" to use a 
phrase, and 7.3 found everything.

I'm not sure if the Ultras are quite as good (my understanding
is they are better, but I haven't messed with them.)  I've had
both of these machines for over a year now, and am still tickled
pink with their performance.

I'd recommend going ahead and getting 512MB of RAM; you'll thank
yourself that you did.

Re: Black screen during installation of RD 8.0

[Ben Russo]

Alexis MOREAU wrote:

Hello everybody,

Yesterday one my HD under Windows died (RIP) and I decided to make an 
installation with RH 8.0.

First problem : when Anaconda tries to go on installation screen, all 
become black, and everything looks like it was crashed.

So I launched the installation on text mode, and everything was OK, all 
products were detected (not for my iiYama screen, which was not seen).

Second problem, installation of XF86, I have a black screen too at the 
test step to see if all is OK ; my screen is not detected, but it is 
very strange to crash the computer. I must begin the installation again, 
because no XF86config file is created when everything is black.

Do you know what's going on ? I have a MSI mothercard with the chipset 
nForce 1 (nVidia), and a iiYama MT900 1600*1200 maximum.

Best regards,

Alexis


Try to do some troubleshooting to rule out potential problems.
It sounds to me like the box may not be crashing, but that the video 
card is trying to drive the monitor in a refresh rate (not the same as 
resolution) that the monitor doesn't support, and the monitor is turning
off.

Can you use "CTRL F1" or "CTRL F2" key-press combinations to get back to 
a console after starting X and getting a black screen?

Have you tried configuring X for a Generig SVGA setting and seen if that
works?

You may find that you have to make a custom mode line for XF86Config to
get a refresh rate that works.

Tell us what your results are.

*flame alert*

IMHO, FreeBSD's Ports tree is the single most reliable package system 
available. It's awesome, it's flexible, it's easy. It's not Linux, but 
it's still great.

Solaris has a nice package system also, far superior to RPM and APT I 
think, but who wants to run Solaris these days?

You know, I first started using linux with Slackware, back when it came 
on a dozen floppy disks and everything was tarballs that you compilled 
yourself.

RPM's were a godsend for managing systems efficiently.  Dependency Hell 
is only a problem for people who haven't figured out why dependencies 
are such a good thing and how to work with RPM's efficiently.  I'm *NOT* 
saying that anybody is dumb or anything, just that the value of the 
dependencies is not obvious at first and a good explanation of it isn't 
easy to discover.  But you can avoid pulling your hair out if
you learn the tricks of handling it.

First of all, you get a basic RHN subscription for Free, and you don't 
even have to give RedHat any personal info at all...  So, when you 
install your box, run rhn_register, and then use up2date to get all your 
patches.

Second, you can use the command "up2date -i pkgname" to install a 
package that RedHat distributes, and it will automatically get the 
latest version, and it will auto-magically discover the dependencies and 
fetch and install them as well.

Third, install the rpmdb-redhat package and learn to use the
	rpm --redhatprovides $PKGNAME
to discover the name of the redhat package that includes what you are 
looking for, then you can install the packages with "up2date -i $PKG1 
$PKG2 ..."

Also, learn to use rpmfind.net to locate packages in RPM form that you 
need.  Freshrpms.net has a lot as well. And you can always google an RPM 
if you need to, but check your sources reputations and their GPG keys 
before installing an RPM on a box that is sensitive or in a production 
environment.

Many tar.gz source code packages that are downloaded from websites can 
be easily rolled into a binary with the rpmbuild -ta pkg.tar.gz

And if you can find a .src.rpm package from a similar distribution,
like a different version of RedHat, you can always install the source 
rpm, edit the .spec file and then rpmbuild it.

If you have different packages that require seperate versions of a 
library and are version dependant then you have to learn the difference 
between rpm -Uvh and rpm -ivh, and you might have to rpm --basedir an 
rpm and then tell your program how to find the library versions it needs.

Any programs that you install yourself (not using RPM's) should go in 
/usr/local or /opt, NOT in /usr or /etc.

-Ben.

FTP problem transferring files! (RH7.3)

[Hemstreet, Jeffrey L (Jeffrey)]

Title: FTP problem transferring files! (RH7.3)






I have a system that I recently installed Redhat 7.3 on.  I have this on a local

network (192.168.0.x) and have no firewall/ipchains.  This was a clean install,

and the machine seems to be running well except for this problem.

I have the telnetd running, as well as the wuftpd.


I can telnet fine in & out, and ftp can connect in & out.  (client & server)  Ping works 

across the network, as well as 


When I connect to a sun server, and try to download files, or an 'ls' then the

connection hangs.  If I download a file, it creates the file locally, but the size of

the file stays 0, and I have to kill the ftp session.

I CAN upload/download a file of size 108 that I created to test out.  For some 

reason the small file works.  I have tried turning passive mode on and off and 

playing with permissions, but once I got the small file to xfer, I thought it might

be something else.


I have tried to ftp from a Sun and from a PC with WARftp server.  Neither works, so I

don't think it's the Sun.  I have also tried both the ftp client and the ncftp client to

see if it was an issue with the client.  Both behave the same way.


Anyone have any ideas?  I am at a loss.  I was trying to ftp tcpdump so I can

look at other tcp traffic, and it would help to debug this issue, but since I cannot

download it, I can't run it 


Thanks,

jeff

Display Problems

[Tom Kovalcik]

We want to use Linux boxes as X-servers to run our Cadence CAD software. 
The software runs on Sun/solaris systems. The software requires "8 bit 
Pseudo Color" display setting. I am using Red Hat 8.0 running Gnome and 
Blue Curve Desktop (this also happened running KDE and the older Gnome 
desktops). I have the color depth set to 8 (required to get into Cadence at 
all). When I bring up Cadence, the desktop turns a speckled yellow. All the 
menus in the Cadence window have a bright lime green background color so 
that the text is illegible. Other Cadence windows offer varied but similar 
behavior. Does anyone have any idea on how to get Linux and Cadence to 
coexist happily? Do I need to change the Linux/X color palette?

Any insights would be appreciated. This is the only thing keeping us from 
changing 75% of our computers over to Linux.

Hey all,

that my man pages look really odd.  It's like there are extra, strange
characters in there that weren't there before.

sample from [man cp]
+++
 Mandatory  arguments  to  long  options are mandatory for short options
   too.

   âa, ââarchive
  same as âdpR

   ââbackup[=CONTROL]
  make a backup of each existing destination file

   âânoâdereference

   âf, ââforce

I use Putty as my ssh client and I don't think that I have changed any
switches since the upgrade...

Any thoughts?

If you have the hardware for it, you could just set the color depth to 16
bit.  That should avoid the issue nicely.  If that's not possible for
whatever reason, you will have to change the way the color palletes are
handled.  My knowledge of how X handles its color pallete is a bit dusty,
but the man pages should point you where you need to go there.  Good luck

Tell Putty that the character set is UTF-8.  It's in the
Windows->Tranlations section when you're connecting.

Re: FTP problem transferring files! (RH7.3)

[Will Mc Donald]

Does the user your FTPing to the Sun box as have a valid shell? If so the path to the 
default shell for that user needs to be in /etc/shells. If you don't have a valid 
shell on the Sun box then something like /bin/false will need to be in /etc/shells. 
That could be the problem.

Otherwise, (again assuming you have a shell on the Sun machine), can you read the logs 
on it? Is there anything in /var/adm/messages, /var/log/syslog or wherever the xferlog 
is? Can the Sun machine FTP to itself?

Will.

How do I remove a module from the kernel

[smusuvat]

Hi all

I've a host running red hat 8.0 and my kernel loads the qlogic san driver during boot 
time. I don't want the kernel to load this driver during boot. So I did the following 
steps
1. Did make menuconfig and unchecked the boxes related to qlogic under SCSI section. 
Recompiled the kernel and loaded the new kernel. Still the kernel loaded the qla2300 
module.
2. Commented out the line #alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2300 from /etc/modules.conf. 
Still the kernel loaded the module.
3. Checked the modules.dep file and deleted the qla2300.o file from the location form 
where it was supposed to load
/lib/modules/kernel_ver/kernel/drivers/addon/qla2200/qla2300.o:  
/lib/modules/kernel_version/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o
Still the kernel is loading the module...

So I don't know from where its picking up the driver and trying to load... Can anyone 
please guide me..

Thanks

RE: FTP problem transferring files! (RH7.3)

[Hemstreet, Jeffrey L (Jeffrey)]

Yes, I have a valid shell on both machines (different users on each machine though)
I can ftp to/from the sun box from my PC with WARftpd and Win2K ftp just fine.
And ftp has worked on the Sun all along without any issues.
(The PC and Sun are on different sub-nets as well)

There is nothing on the sun for logging I'm not the admin so I'm not sure what
logging is enabled.

If I ftp from the Sun to the Linux box, I get 2 lines for the ftp:

# /var/log/messages 

ftpd [1736]: wu-ftpd - TLS settings: control allow, client_cert allow, data allow
ftp(pam_unix)[1736]: session opened for user jh by (uid=0)



I can even put and get the 108 byte file, but when I try to put a 2MB file,
I get :
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for tcpdump-3.7.1.tar
<- hangs here, eventually times out -->

Where, for the small file I actually get a "226 Transfer complete"

With verbose/debug enabled on the ftp xfer, it has no additional information.. it still
stops at the same place.

RE: How do I remove a module from the kernel

[Rigler, S C (Steve)]

You need to do "mkinitrd" to rebuild your initrd.  It reads the information
from your /etc/modules.conf and adds the scsi ones to your initrd so they
get loaded at boot time.

I believe that when you build your own kernel that "make install" does this
for you.

This is not the Samba package from Red Hat. Try erasing it
with:

  rpm -e samba --noscripts --notriggers

Definately. And then apply Red Hat's errata packages for Samba.

Perhaps you could post the grub.conf/grub.map

How is machine BIOS configured?  Does it tell system to boot from SCSI?

Just a note, I think that the make install of the kernel functionality is

Re: time server & dhcp client (win2k)

[David Busby]

If you want your Windows clients to see the time server you must have samba
running so Windows can read the time from the Linux server.  On Linux if you
don't have NTP running you should, use one server on your network as the
Time Source (and have it sync with another tier one/two NTP server (see
ntp.org)
Then all your local Windows/*nix clients can sync with your NTP server.  NT4
you must run the `net time` command, W2K you can use the W32TimeService.

[OT] extracting text from binary file

[Stone, Timothy]

I've inherited several Quark files on Mac-formatted CDs.  I'm able to open them on my 
RHL server and transfer them via scp to a Cygwin-enabled Windoze for hex , or binary, 
inspection, in TextPad (a kickass text editor for Windoze BTW) and view the text 
contents, e.g. "Four score and seven years ago..." Unfortuately, TextPad does not 
allow me to "grap" or extract this text for cut-paste in a normal text (*.txt) file.

Is there a recommended hex editor in Linux that would allow me to select the text and 
paste it to a regular text file for editing? Maybe a Quark viewer?

Thanks in advance.

Warmest Regards,
Tim

Re: [OT] extracting text from binary file

[David Busby]

Can you use fgrep or grep that will filter for the regex
 for [a-zA-Z0-9] plus any other characters you want (comma? hyphen?)

then read your file, and out to the new file.
PERL could handle this nicely

Record from sound card to mp3?

[David Kramer]

I would like to record audio from my sound card straight to MP3 files if I 
can.  I guess I can do it in two steps, but I'm hoping it can be done in one.

I tried a program called Audacity that looked like it would work, but it seems 
to crash at the strangest times, even when viewing the help files.

This is a Red Hat 7.3 Athlon 650 system.

Thanks.

Re: removing samba

[John Nichel]

Was Samba installed by RPM?

Do a `rpm -q samba`

If Samba was installed via RPM, it will show you something like...

samba-x.x.x-x.x.x

So then you can just

rpm -e samba-x.x.x-x.x.x

Re: Hardware suggestions for R/H Workstation

[Edward Dekkers]

I'm surprised no-one had recommended Intel Mainboards?

Why not?

They are without a doubt (after 9 years of business and trying HEAPS of
others), the most reliable motherboards I've ever used (well, bar the
CC820 - but that's the exception).

Very fast and 3 year warranty (although not necessary - haven't ever had one
die).

Might want to consider those too.

Oh, and if this is the bcm5700 card then try using the commercial binary 
only bcm5700 module instead of the tg3, both modules have bugs, but when 
used with different switches and different NIC chip revisions sometimes 
one of the modules will work when the other doesn't

Re: eth0 is not bringing up

hi Ben,

The tg3 driver module is an open source driver for the Broadcom Gig 
NIC's and some 3com Nics as well.

The bcm5700 is a binary driver that broadcom provides.

I think that by default kudzu will prefer the tg3 module.
But for some Broadcom NIC chipsets (in combination with some switches)
the bcm5700 works better, for others the tg3 seems to work better.

I have many Dell servers with these NIC's and some don't work,
some work with the tg3 driver and some with the bcm5700

Well, first I would try changing the t3g in the /etc/modules.conf file
to tg3, and doing a depmod -a and then doing a service network reload.
Check the output of lsmod and see if tg3 is there?
If it is, test your network connectivity, if not, then
Try changing the tg3 to bcm5700 and doing a service network reload.
then do an lsmod and see if bcm5700 is there.
Then once again, if it is test your network connectivity.

Red Hat 8.0 - Thinkpad 600E - No Sound

[John Finlay]

Hi there, I've got an IBM Thinkpad 600E laptop which contains the infamous 
CS4610 sound chip. (Crystal Fusion Sound Accelerator) I understand that 
under previous versions of Linux, specifically Red Hat Linux, this chip was 
supported and worked. However I have just installed Red Hat 8.0 on the 
laptop, and even with the latest ALSA drivers, have been unable to hear more 
than the system beeps out of it. I've recompiled the kernel (2.4.20) many 
times, with many different options, tried various versions of the ALSA 
driver... Versions reported to work with this card specifically won't even 
compile under 2.4.20, so that's a dead end. Has anyone else attempted to do 
the same, and if so, were you able to get the sound to work? I'm blown away 
by 8.0 so far, the hardware support for other peripherals is fantastic 
(digital camera, Palm, scanner, etc.) but sound is a must for me as I use my 
laptop as my CD player (Well, mp3 player) while on the road all the time... 
I'de hate to have to continue using Windows for this purpose... ANY help 
here would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Strings is definitely what you want - and should be
on Cygwin as well as Linux. (unless of course you find
a quark native format reader)

As binary-capable editors go,
vim (www.vim.org) kicks more donkeys than most.
And you can get that in native Win32 as well as
all flavours of unix.

I didn't know there was a limited version? Did you connect with
the root account and password?

But if you are not running Samba then a proper ntp client like
automachron or the NIST client will do the trick rather than running
something via "NET TIME"

You folks are awesome.  One of the reasons I save every single
message.

Thanks to everyone for your hardware recommendations.  I'm going to
"roll-my-own" workstation using some of the vendors/products mentioned.

IO Errors, Always Physical Drive Failure?

[Luke Brown]

Hi All,

I have a redhat 7.1 machine which locked up and no refuses to boot the 
harddrive, it finds it in the BIOS but will not load an OS from it.

I have put the drive in another machine (rh8.0) and attempted to mount 
it only to get I/O errors. I have attemped to run an e2fsck on it, with 
a I/O again, tried to fix the superblock with mke2fs -B I/O again...

is any of this drive likely to be recoverable?
