(no subject)

[clemens]

Some time ago I had LOGWATCH working just fine (this is RH7.3).
Then I updated some things (perl, tk/tcl, ...) and I havent
heard from logwatch since.

Tonight I played with it a bit, putting printf statements in the
logwatch perl script, and it doesnt die, it runs thru from top
to bottom, but no output.

I uninstalled/reinstalled it, still no luck.

I put perl back to 5.6.1, no luck.

Does anyone have ANY ideas, Im frankly at a loss.
I have it working fine on 5 other machines, and like I said it USED
to work on this machine, but zip, nothing, no output at all.

Re: RH8.0 - Altering Security Level

Matthew

etc/xinetd.d/swat is configured as

#chkconfig: 35 20 80
#description: SWAT

service swat
{
disable = no
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = localhost

log_on_failure += USERID

I have run chkconfig (and added the swat lines above as result and still no

:-(

As to firewall tools, any suggestions for a reasonably straightforward

At a guess, it looks like it can't find all of the kernel headers. Kernel
source and kernel headers are in two separate RPMs.

Under older Red Hat releases yes I would agree, but I've looked for the 
kernel-headers rpm for Red Hat 8.0, but no go, I can't find any on the CD's 
or on their ftp updates site.

I need to compile a new kernel because the default kernel they give doesn't 
support some of my hardware, but I'm baffled as to why this thing doesn't 
work, even though I've compiled linux kernels for well over 8 years.

No, not quite. Consider:

ln foo bah  # link to second name
umask 2 # just to ensure
vim foo # and go :w!

If your hypothesis were correct there would be two distinct files now,
the "foo" one with a mode 664. (Which is a core reason I loathe apps
which do the unlink/new-file thing.) A quick experiment reveals that vim
leaves them linked with the perms ok. So it must in fact be tweaking the
permissions to add write, rewriting, and putting the permissions back.
Which is sort of ok in my book.

Still, I use nvi mostly, and expect to have to tweak perms if I lock
myself out - I will have done it for a reason, after all.

/var/run/console

[Michael A. Peters]

Relevent Config Info:
Red Hat 8.0 up to patch level.
Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard
Running 2.4.21pre4 (copied the athlon config from the Red Hat kernel
source to .config and ran make oldconfig to configure - I need a newer
kernel than Red Hat's 2.4.18 or even 2.4.20 because I have an nforce2
chipset and the IDE performance is suctacular due to lack of a driver
for the nforce IDE controller - and I needed to patch the 3com driver
for the onboard 3com nic)

I recently did a couple updates to my system:

1) edited /etc/fstab to mount /var/run and /tmp as a tmpfs volume:
none/var/runtmpfs   defaults 0 0
none/tmptmpfs   defaults 0 0

2) installed nVidia drivers for my GeForce4 (compiled on my system)

I *believe* my problem didn't start after step 1 but started after step
2
When attempting to startx I would get an error - and this would be
logged in /var/log/secure :

Jan 31 01:09:52 mpetershomenetwork pam_console[968]: Could not open lock
file /var/run/console/mpeters, disallowing console access

I put a band-aid on the problem by adding this to /etc/rc.local :

if [ ! -d /var/run/console ]; then
/bin/mkdir /var/run/console
fi

I would like to know, though, what the REAL problem is - just in case
there are other issues I need to fix as well.

Thanks for any help.

Yes, you should be concerned at least slightly because with your
clock running unreliable, "make" may not be able to determine
dependencies correctly. This can result in things like previously
compiled object files being mixed into a new build.

Not true. Linux kernel source and headers are _both_ in the
kernel-source binary rpm.

Look once more. fdisk has a menu where you can change the partition
type.

Though, I would recommend using GNU parted on system where it

Latest (stable) linux kernel???

[Cannon, Andrew]

Hi all,

I want to update the linux kernel on two machines. One is an Athlon
(Thunderbird 1.1GHz 200MHz FSB) and the other is a 400MHz Celeron (actually,
there are four machines in this cluster, all 400MHz Celerons).

What are the latest Kernels for these machines, and where can I find them?
(I've tried the Red Hat web site, but a search for "kernel" brings up
nothing...)

btw, I'm running RH8.0 with the 'out of the box' kernel.

Thanks.

Andy

P.S. If they are RPMs is installation as simple as rpm -i (install-options)
'new-kernel' or is it more difficult than this?

/etc/sysconfig/iptables is where your firewall rules would be
stored. The files is created when you configure your firewall
OR run "service iptables save" manually (which writes the rules
based on what the iptables-save program prints).

If you don't have that file, most likely you don't have any firewall
rules activated. With the exception that maybe you played a lot with
your system and managed to enable the old ipchains-based firewall
system. I would consider that unlikely, but only you can tell what
you've done to your system.

Huh? It doesn't make any sense to add those two lines there. All
you would need to enable SWAT is to run

  # chkconfig swat on

and optionally (to make sure xinetd is running, too):

  # service xinetd start
  # chkconfig xinetd on

Then have a look at the output of:

  netstat -tpan | grep 901

What does it give?

Sometimes Oracle doesn't want to install directly from the CD - then
there's normally a shell script to run, that makes a temporary directory
tree with symbolic links to the CD. As far as I remember, the reason has
often been that when you mounted the CD on certain OSes, all the file
names would be in upper case.

So, my suugestion is to look for information about this in the READMEs
and other release files on the CD; perhaps there is a script to run
before you start installing.

you can always find the latest RH-approved updates at
http://updates.redhat.com.

if you want to live a little more dangerously, you can try
the more experimental stuff at http://rawhide.redhat.com.

and if you want to go for the gusto, there's www.kernel.org.

Fetchmail problem with demand dailing

[Roland Hill]

Hello List,

I have started getting the following error in the fetchmail log:

fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)

The consequence is that mail is not retrieved for my home network.

My modem is configured to demand dial (via wvdial) and I usually start
fetchmail with fetchmail -d 7200.

I have read the man pages and it appears that fetchmail "times out"
while waiting for my ISP to be connected and the DNS resolved. It
assumes that the POP server does not exist.

If the connection is already up, then fetchmail works as intended.

My suspicion is that resolving my ISP's DNS is taking a little longer
due to my primary DNS pointing to my DNS cache and my secondary DNS
pointing to my ISP. This slight delay appears to hang fetchmail. I have
had fetchmail working perfectly and the implementation of DNS cache is
the only thing I can think of that I have configured recently that may
cause a problem.

As a new user I would appreciate any ideas on how I could solve this
problem. Can fetchmail be "told" to wait longer before hanging?

Regards,

Roland Hill

Re: Quota

Consider a case
where user a has quota 0f 90MB

And now suppose user a puts 70Mb in the folder owned by the group
Now if user a exceeds 20Mb in his own  home drive, he gets the quota

So what I realise is that users quota is counted for that particular group

Phoebe: problem with installing Oracle 9i

[Jon Haugsand]

I am not sure where to,  and even _if_ I should, report a problem with
installing Oracle 9i on RedHat beta distribution Phoebe.  Maybe
someone here can comment?

After filling out the configuration screens in "runInstaller" of
Oracle 9i the screen hangs at 0%.  When looking into the log, I find
it hangs on the following:

Calling action unixActions2.2.0.6.0  createLink
source = /home/oracle/jre/1.1.8/bin/.java_wrapper
destination = /home/oracle/jre/1.1.8/bin/jre
overwriteExistingLink = true

Java, yes, but isn't this a glibc issue?  Trying out 'ldd

"Broken pipe" during rsync, tunneled over ssh: Help!

[RD Egeland]

I'm running rsync tunneled over ssh in a cron job (the error also occurs if 
run manually) to send nightly backup files to a remote server, and I've got 
troublesome problems with either rsync or ssh.  Has anyone had similar errors?

The rsync command in my cron job is:
rsync -e ssh -avz /mnt/claws/backups/mail/mail\@foo.com-`date +%A`.tar.gz 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/backups/foo/

Uploading machine (.com):
RH 7.3 with
openssh-3.5p1-1 (I upgraded)
rsync-2.5.4-2

Downloading machine (.ac.uk):
RH 8.0 with
openssh-3.4p1-2
rsync-2.5.5-1

Error which comes out quite regularly (usually less than 10M into the 
upload, but sometimes not at all):
rsync: error writing 9 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Broken pipe
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(464)


Greek to me.  At first, I assumed this was due to intermittent connectivity 
(I am using a cable modem and D-Link firewall router on one side), but the 
connection (amazingly) is quite rock-solid.  I've read about bugs in ssh, 
and notably, I notice that ssh connections to the 7.3 machine are dropped 
occasionally, sometimes with "bad network packet size" (or something like 
that).

So I believe this could be due to SSH problems.  But before I upgrade SSH 
using the sources, I figure I'd ask if anyone has been through this before.

The 2 comment lines were the ones suggested when I read the man page for
chkconfig (as I didn't know what it was until then).

I ran netstat as suggested and got no output.  I ran it again without the
grep.  I ran 'chkconfig swat on', restarted xinetd and ran netstat again
with same result as below:

Windows to Linux

[Jonathan Hardisty]

Hi

I've been working with Windows systems for the last 12 years and I'm very
new to Linux. Are there any resources that explain/help the move from
Windows to Linux?

Things like..  What is the equivalent to Windows Explorer?
shortcuts keys
Where to find the windows equivalent of x?
etc.

I don't know if kernel headers is the problem of not, but they are 
included on the CDs.

$ whichcd -v 8.0 kernheader

Searching for kernheader...
CD-1:glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20.i386.rpm
SOURCE-CD-2:glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20.src.rpm

The package name changed between 7.x and 8.0.

No. The chkconfig man page doesn't suggest to add anything like that
to an xinetd service config file. chkconfig uses lines like that at
the top of SysV init scripts. However, since no such lines were
missing anywhere, there was no need to add them manually. I don't
why you did that. I have the impression you have messed up several
config files.

These last three lines above look to me like inetd syntax, not like
valid xinetd syntax. I think you may have messed up more files.

I would suggest you take a look at /var/log/messages as what xinetd
logs when it is started. For instance:

  # service xinetd stop
  # tail -f /var/log/messages &
  # service xinetd start

For running Samba SWAT you don't need to edit any files manually.
Just install the samba-swat package (and its dependencies) and run
"chkconfig swat on". That would do the right thing in
/etc/xinetd.d/swat automatically. However, all that is fruitless
when you mess up config files by editing them manually. If you don't
manage to repair the config files, consider reinstalling some key
packages, such as xinetd, samba-swat, and so on.

Re: Windows to Linux

[Joe Polk]

You might want to check your local bookstore. There are some books that are 
aimed specifically at the Windows user looking to venture into Linux. You can 
consult the various HOW-TO's and do Google searches on various questions, but 
if you want a good consolidated reference, a good intro to Linux book might 
prove best. Many times Linux How-To's don't really address a particular 
feature from a Windows perspective. Here is a link to an article that may 
also help:

Microsoft Exchange equivalent?

[Marius Andreiana]

Hi!

I've searched for a free ( as in speech ) equivalent of Microsoft
Exchange on freshmeat, sourceforge and google, but without success. I've
found only proprietary products so far: IBM's Lotus Domino,
Hewlett-Packard's OpenMail, Bynari's Insight Server and Suse's Open
Exchange.

Is there any free software that comes close to this?
Thanks

RE: Microsoft Exchange equivalent?

[Larry Brown]

I do not know of an open source solution.  I've made the same searches in vain.  
Bynari gave me problems getting their system to work smoothly.  It would lock the 
computer while it made its downloads so if there was a lot of mail it would frustrate 
you.  They may have fixed that problem but my client was very displeased at the time.  
Domino was the best fit for the Linux platform that I found, problem being their 
pricing was comparable to the exchange product and my client was already used to 
Outlook and didn't want to lose any functionality by using Domino's Outlook simulation 
client and they didn't want to learn the Notes client.  I don't have any history on 
the HP product.  It looks like a decent product, but it was fairly new to HP when I 
was looking and they weren't really advertising it very strongly.  It have been 6 or 8 
months since I was looking.  If you do find an open source solution, please share your 
find.

found only proprietary products so far: IBM's Lotus Domino,
Hewlett-Packard's OpenMail, Bynari's Insight Server and Suse's Open
Exchange.

Is there any free software that comes close to this?
Thanks

Re: "Broken pipe" during rsync, tunneled over ssh: Help!

[Alexey Fadyushin]

I had similar problems some time ago. Such an error message means that
the
SSH session terminated when rsync expected it to exist and tried to send
data
through SSH. Most probably the problem with rsync is the same as with
the
occasionally dropped ssh connections to 7.3 machine. I recommend you to
upgrade SSH
(note that the problem could be with the SSH on any of two machines).

RE: Microsoft Exchange equivalent?

[Ivaylo Toshev]

Just MS Outlook.
I use Ximian Evolution with Ximian Connector, but believe me - its not
usable. You can see calendar, tasks and Contacts, but you cannot see
TimeSheets for example and ofcourse Forms and others.
Ximian Connector uses https access to OWA ( Outlook Web Access), so you
can use it only with MS Exchg 2000 with OWA started on it. 
But again it is slow and i dont like it. True Exchg. Client will be that
client who can speak MAPI and for now this is just MS Outlook, and you
can start it with Wine ;-)! 

I've cheked and Oracle Collaboration Server, but its Linux client is
UGLY !!! Absolutely not usable! It is pure Motif App.
Oracle's client for Windows is guess what: Connector for MS Outlook.
Bynari Server: Connector for Outlook !
SuSE OpenExchange - MS Outlook !
SO... ?
The answer is : MS Outlook !

DVD images on loopback

[Gary Stainburn]

Hi folks,

here at work, we receive a catalogue every month that takes 3 CD's. 

I take these these CD's, copy them the files on a local filesystem using 

dd id=/dev/hdc of=catalogue-1.iso bs=1024

and then mount them via loopback devices.  These filesystems are then shared 
via Samba to a number of Windows PC's

The supplier of the catalogue is looking to replace the CD's with a single 
DVD.  Will I still be able to share it across the network in the same way?

It's NOT free, but check out the Ximian site.  I think in all other

I've used FreeSWAN extensively and currently recommend against it to
my users unless they absolutely need IPSEC for some reason.

IPSEC is considerably more complex than most VPN technologies in ways
that are counter-intuitive.  IPSEC tunnels are not just virtual wires,
they also include access controls.  For example, consider:

  net1 --- gateway1 -- {internet} -- gateway2 --- net2 --- net3

A FreeSWAN tunnel between gateway1 and gateway2 can allow net1 and
net2 to talk to each other, but that same tunnel will not allow net1
and net3 to talk to each other.  Communication between net1 and net3
would require an additional tunnel.  In fact, full connectivity for
this case would require 6 tunnels:
1. net1 <--> net2
2. net1 <--> gateway2
3. net1 <--> net3
4. gateway1 <--> net2
5. gateway1 <--> gateway2
6. gateway1 <--> net3

IPSEC has other complexities too.  They are useful when you need them,
but they easily get in the rway when you don't.

Networking issues

[Art Ross]

I'm encountering an intriguing problem with a recent set of RH
installs.  The problem is occurring with the RH7.3 and RH8.0
platforms.  Let me describe the situation.
  The machine I'm using for the RH7.3 and RH8.0 installs is a DELL
Inspiron 8000.  I've had no problems with this laptop when
running RH7.1 and RH7.2 but now its decided to be difficult.  During the
process of trying to isolate the problem, we've successfully
made the laptop work with the full version of RH7.3 from downloaded ISOs
but not with an ISO version of RH8.0 and a RH7.3 version that came with
the RH7.3 Bible textbook.  Now here the results of many tests with the
none working
installs.


   * The working version of RH7.3 can access members of the home network
 and websites by name.
   * The nonworking version of RH7.3 can access members of the home
 network and cannot access websites by name.  This leads me to
 believe that the hosts lookup is working fine.
   * The nonworking version of RH7.3 can ping machines on the home
 network and on the web by IP numbers successfully.

Here are some actions taken thus far that may shed some light on my
situation.


   * I've taken the /etc/hosts/, /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf
 files from the working version of RH7.3 and copied them to the
 nonworking version of RH7.3.  Also, the routing table in the
 working version of RH7.3 is replicated in the nonworking version of
 RH7.3.  These efforts changed nothing.
   * The machine which I'm working with has the same fixed IP address on
 my home network for all installations of Linux.
   * None of these identical installs are ever simultaneously operating
 on the network.
   * The RH8.0 version that will not work on my home network with a
 fixed IP, but works just fine on the network at my employers.   The
 differences are that the employers network uses a DHCP server.  The
 machine works just fine when configured to DHCP.

At this point any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I'm still
brainstorming but running out of ideas.
Best Regards,
  Art

RH 8.0 doesn't like USB mouse on laptop

[cmorgan]

For my second install of RH 8.0, I chose a Sony PCG-R505TEK laptop.
Not a whole lot works following this install, so I'm sorting through
the various nonresponsive hardware entities.

First up is a cheap USB wheel mouse (made by DEXXA).  It worked poorly with
the original kernel that came with the RH 8.0 CD set.  When I upgraded to
the latest kernel via Red Hat Network, I see this in /var/log/messages when
I plug the mouse into a USB port.

kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 4
kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=4 (error=-110)
kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 5
kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=5 (error=-110)

This mouse works just fine with Win2K.  Do I need to cut over to a
more recent 2.4.X kernel?

Current kernel is: 2.4.18-19.8.0 .

Thanks in advance.

Sendmail

[Caleb Groom]

I'm having problems setting up a mail server for my internal domain. 
Sorry for being so verbose but I don't know how else to explain it all. 
:)

Red Hat v8.0

Server: server.mydomain.org
Client: client.mydomain.org

server.mydomain.org is has DNS, DHCP, FTP, Apache, and NIS working
correctly.  So far so good.  Next is getting sendmail to act as the
mydomain.org mail server.

-

Here's the dig on my DNS:

# dig mydomain.org mx | grep MX
;mydomain.org. IN  MX
mydomain.org.  86400   IN  MX 10 server.mydomain.org.

Ok, so we see that I have an MX record for the domain.

-

I've installed the following RPM's:

sendmail
sendmail-cf
sendmail-doc
m4
procmail

-

I made these changes to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc:

MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.org')dnl
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl
EXPOSED_USER(`root')dnl
dnl This changes sendmail to only listen on the loopback device
127.0.0.1
dnl and not on any other network devices. Comment this out if you want
dnl to accept email over the network.
#DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
FEATURE(`relay_based_on_MX')dnl

After I made the changes I did:

# m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
# service sendmail restart

-

# sendmail -d0

Here's the /var/log/maillog entry on the server:

What step am I missing?  Why is server refusing the connection?

correctly.  So far so good.  Next is getting sendmail to act as the
mydomain.org mail server.

-

Here's the dig on my DNS:

# dig mydomain.org mx | grep MX
;mydomain.org. IN  MX
mydomain.org.  86400   IN  MX 10 server.mydomain.org.

Ok, so we see that I have an MX record for the domain.

-

I've installed the following RPM's:

sendmail
sendmail-cf
sendmail-doc
m4
procmail

-

I made these changes to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc:

MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.org')dnl
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl
EXPOSED_USER(`root')dnl
dnl This changes sendmail to only listen on the loopback device
127.0.0.1
dnl and not on any other network devices. Comment this out if you want
dnl to accept email over the network.
#DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
FEATURE(`relay_based_on_MX')dnl

After I made the changes I did:

# m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
# service sendmail restart

-

# sendmail -d0

ssh prefers having the line to itself and since theoretically nothing else is 
occurring while you are transferring, try this:

rsync -e ssh --blocking-io -avz /mnt/claws/backups/mail/mail\@foo.com-`date 
+%A`.tar.gz 

I do the same regularly and it is rock solid.

It seems you may be confusing two separate methods of service 
configuration.  One method to start a service is via the SysV init 
method:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/ref-guide/s1-boot-init-shutdown-sysv.html

and the second is via the xinetd mechanism:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/ref-guide/ch-tcpwrappers.html

If you are using the SysV Init method the service you want to use will 
have a configuration file in the /etc/init.d directory.  These services 
can be controlled via the "chkconfig" utility to determine if and at 
what run levels the service will run at.  The service will typically be 
running in deamon mode when you start your computer up and you'll be 
able to see them in the "ps" listing even when the service isn't being 
used by someone or something. 

If, on the other hand, you are using the xinetd mechanism then the 
control files for the service you wish to use are in the /etc/xinetd.d 
directory. Each file controls a specific service as the names of the 
files suggest.  Unlike the SysV Init method services will not start up 
when you reboot your computer.  The only time a service will start is 
if the xinetd deamon sees that the service is needed.  If the service 
isn't being used by someone, a "ps" listing will show that the service 
is not running.

These two methods of controlling services are are not normally used at 
the same time, you generally choose one or the other to control your 
service.  If you are trying to configure both methods for the same 
service you're probably doing something wrong. 


The lines in your note above:

> #chkconfig: 35 20 80
> #description: SWAT

are chkconfig control strings for the SysV init method an have no place 
in a xinetd control file.

Configure up2date (the personal user version is free) and then do:
# up2date -l 
If you see a new kernel, and it's probably marked to be ignored, do the
following:
# up2date -u -f kernel*

This will safely install the correct kernel for your system.  The old
one will be left intact in case you ever need to go back.

While you're visiting up2date, apply the rest of the updates too.  The
vast majority of them will be security releases.

That's it.  Nice and simple.

Dell preloaded servers

[Bret Hughes]

My brother is about to order a dell server with RedHat installed. He has
a choice of 7.3 and 8.0.  I have not used 8.0 primarily because I am not
one of those cutting edge kind of guys and I have avoided x.0 versions
of RHL since 5.0 kicked my ass so hard it still has a bruise. That was
really early in my Linux use though.  I am assuming that Dell would not
sell it with 8.0 pre-installed if there were stability problems. My
brother pointed out that that come with windows so that may not be a
valid argument :)

Does anyone have experience with RHL preloaded dell servers on either
version?  It is the Professional version with all the docs and media.

How good is dell RHL support if there is such a thing.

He is looking at two channel raid controller, 3-36 GB scsi disks 512 RAM
and 2 GHz xeon single processor to start.  I believe the server he is
looking at is SMP capable but only has one processor to begin with.

He is in a time crunch and the box is going to be installed as a samba
file/print server on an existing NT domain since all his brand new XP
desktops are not playing nice with NT 4.0 servers and smokes on the test
samba box we installed last night. I told him if he did not hear from me
to get the 8.0 install.

Any tips appreciated

Bret

looks like that is the libc6 headers, the headers that libc was

Re: Windows to Linux

I highly recommend this book (vendor neutral):

LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell
 by Jeffrey Dean, Jeffery Dean
 
Take a couple of weeks and read it very slowly.
This will give you good, strong, and necessary skills to run
Linux in a business environment.  There will be a HUGE learning
curve for you.  You NEED to have the fundamental skills.

Then you will need to learn Samba.
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/SambaIntro.html

You will ALWAYS have Windows desktops to support and samba
allows you to run linux and serve windows desktops.

Happy reading.

Re: Phoebe: problem with installing Oracle 9i

If a 3rd party product won't install, report it to the 3rd party.  In
this case, you would contact Oracle.  Whether or not they'll support
your installation on a beta release is doubtful though - that depends on
your relationship with Oracle.

If Oracle in turn decides that they're doing the right stuff and that
Red Hat broke something between Psyche and Phoebe, they should report
the issue to Red Hat.  Frankly, I'd be surprised if someone from Oracle
hasn't already tested this (or perhaps Oracle is concentrating on
Advanced Server and doesn't care about Psyche at all, I don't know).  It
could be that Oracle is going to totally beta releases and wait until
Phoebe is released, and then tweak their installer or report bugs.  This
really depends on their release philosophy.

SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!

[Rodrigo Pereira]

People,

I installed Red Hat 7.3 on my Compaq Evo.  It recognized my
peripherals.  The problem is to set up the ACPI.

I don´t know exactly what are the step that I have to do to make ACPI
works.

My kernel is 2.4.19.  I patched my kernel with the ACPI patch and
recompiled it the ACPI options. After that I make bzImage, modules,
modules_install and install.  That worked fine.

Then I downloaded acpid RPM with the acpi daemon and installed it.  When

I tried to start it, calling acpid, the message above was thrown:
acpid daemon: acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event

The directory /proc/acpi doesn't exist.   Some places tell about the
directory /proc/sys/acpi it doesn't exist too.   I did look at the Linux

ACPI Howto () and  from there I learned
that there are  supposed to be at least 4 more  executables whose names
begin with acpi, but which don't exist.

What I did wrong ??  What is missing ?

I appreciate your help.

Regards,
Rodrigo.

A7N8X users -

[Michael A. Peters]

Hi-
I have a customized kernel rpm for the A7N8X motherboard.
It patches the 3com driver so that the onboard 3com nic will work, and
has support for the nforce IDE controller so that disk access is much
better.

I have an instruction page on how to install it, but I have never used
grub, and would appreciate someone who uses grub to write the grub
update part of it for me.

http://homepage.mac.com/mpeters/A7N8X/

The kernel is a 2.4.21pre4 and the configuration is based upon Red Hat's
configuration for athlon systems, with the added support for the SATA
raid controller (not tested by me) and the nforce2 ide controller (I get
MUCH better drive access performance now).

Anyway, I have never used grub, and need grub update instructions.
And I need to see that it works for more people than just me.

Thanks,
Michael

Re: RH8.0 - Altering Security Level - SWAT

[Ashley Kitson]

Michael

Thanks for persevering.  I ran the tail on messages as suggested.  It turned
out that the server= line in the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file is pointing to
something that doesn't exist (it reads server=/etc/xinetd/swat i.e. itself).
The log message shows that the server doesn't exist.  That got me to digging
about trying to find something else with swat in the name.  There is no
other item anywhere in the system so I figured that swat wasn't installed.

I then tried to install swat from disk three of the RH8.0 distribution and
got a message that it requires samba 2.2.5  It turns out that I have version
2.2.7 as the Red Hat auto updater updated samba last week after the initial
system install.  So, I've now deleted samba, re-installed it from the
distribution disk and guess what?  It doesn't ask for disk 3 to install
samba-swat.  It just installs the common and client pieces from disk 2.

So all along, swat was never installed.

It gets better though..

I've tried to install swat from disk 3 again having just installed samba
2.2.5 from the disks and it still reports that it needs samba 2.2.5 to
install and will not install the swat files.  I've downloaded the samba
2.2.7a-1 Redhat Binary RPM from the samba web site and tried to install that
but again it does not install the swat files.

I've downloaded the source for 2.2.7a and read the doc about SWAT and it
definitely says that a binary, some image files and a help file should be
installed.  Being new to Linux, I'm not confident about compiling my own
stuff yet so do you or anyone else have a copy of the swat binary and
associated files I can have/ get to?

Kind Regards

NTP Problem

[Kent Borg]

I am having problems with ntpd on Red Hat 8.0.  


I have an 8.0 client on which ntpd can't get the time.  I have an ntpd
running on my basement server (RH 7.0) and it used to supply time just
fine before I upgraded my client, also I told my DSL router box to get
its time from my basement server and it managed it just fine.  So I
think the server is working.

As for the client, I don't have any firewall blocks set up on it:

  # iptables --list
  Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
  target prot opt source   destination
  
  Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
  target prot opt source   destination
  
  Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
  target prot opt source   destination
  #

I can do ntpdate from this 8.0 machine:

  # ntpdate borg.org
  31 Jan 12:24:38 ntpdate[12401]: adjust time server 192.168.100.2 offset -0.039216 sec
  #

But nptd isn't happy:

JRE Problem!

[Shirad Salaheddine]

Title: JRE Problem!





I am installing Red Linux Advanced Server (2.1) on a Dell PowerEdge 1650. We have another machine that is also Dell Precision 410 where the Oracle Installer is running with no problem. Could it be that there is a problem with the PowerEdge Server and JRE because I have re-installed Linux on another Dell machine, the successfully was able to run Oracle with no JRE problem ?!!

Rgds,

Perhaps the following sites can help.  I don't know of any that gives tips

http://www.freshmeat.net   <-- software repository.  Download and go.

I've been working with Windows systems for the last 12 years and I'm very

modprobe/insmod/depmod question

[Jake Colman]

I need to insert a new module into my kernel.  I'm not sure exactly what I
need to do to make the module known to the system.  I know that depmod is
called in rc.sysinit and it uses modules.conf.  I imagine I need an entry in
that file but what should that entry be?

Currently, modprobe fails to locate the module.  insmod _is_ able to load the
module.  Once loaded, modprobe does not complain.  What is the correct way to
load the module when needed using modprobe.

The modules in questions are ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp.  I want to load
them as part of my firewall script startup and unload them when the firewall
is stopped.

Thanks for any help!

No doubt a good book--the reviewers rate it highly. But as I learned 
throughout my college career (and again in post-graduate classes) there is a 
*huge* difference between studying to learn and studying to pass the exams. 
If the original poster wants to learn Linux, as opposed to passing the 
certification exams, I'd recommend "Linux Administration Handbook", by Evi 
Nemeth, Garth Snyder and Trent Hein (Prentice Hall).

Please note that I am *not* trivializing in any way the effort or benefit of 
the certification exams, merely pointing out that there is a difference 
between passing an exam and having a thorough knowledge of a subject.

SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!

[Rodrigo Pereira]

People,

I installed Red Hat 7.3 on my Compaq Evo.  It recognized my
peripherals.  The problem is to set up the ACPI.

I don´t know exactly what are the step that I have to do to make ACPI
works.

My kernel is 2.4.19.  I patched my kernel with the ACPI patch and
recompiled it the ACPI options. After that I make bzImage, modules,
modules_install and install.  That worked fine.

Then I downloaded acpid RPM with the acpi daemon and installed it.  When

I tried to start it, calling acpid, the message above was thrown:
acpid daemon: acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event

The directory /proc/acpi doesn't exist.   Some places tell about the
directory /proc/sys/acpi it doesn't exist too.   I did look at the Linux

ACPI Howto () and  from there I learned
that there are  supposed to be at least 4 more  executables whose names
begin with acpi, but which don't exist.

What I did wrong ??  What is missing ?

I appreciate your help.

Regards,
Rodrigo.

Re: "Broken pipe" during rsync, tunneled over ssh: Help!

[RD Egeland]

Jack,

Thanks for the tip.  Unfortunately, it didn't seem to solve the 
problem.  Neither did upgrading all the openssh packages to 3.5p1-1 
(!)  I'm starting to suspect a bug in rsync, based on some further browsing 
on the rsync listserv.  Argh!  Quite a mess.  rsync would be great if it 
didn't have this bug.  Such cryptic output, too.

I'll keep my ears up for any other suggestions and let everyone know if I 
get 'er fixed.

ssh prefers having the line to itself and since theoretically nothing else 
is occurring while you are transferring, try this:

rsync -e ssh --blocking-io -avz 
/mnt/claws/backups/mail/mail\@foo.com-`date +%A`.tar.gz

I do the same regularly and it is rock solid.

I'm using latex to create my online documents, and I want to control

Just MS Outlook.
I use Ximian Evolution with Ximian Connector, but believe me - its not
usable. You can see calendar, tasks and Contacts, but you cannot see
TimeSheets for example and ofcourse Forms and others.
Ximian Connector uses https access to OWA ( Outlook Web Access), so you
can use it only with MS Exchg 2000 with OWA started on it.
But again it is slow and i dont like it. True Exchg. Client will be that
client who can speak MAPI and for now this is just MS Outlook, and you
can start it with Wine ;-)!

I've cheked and Oracle Collaboration Server, but its Linux client is
UGLY !!! Absolutely not usable! It is pure Motif App.
Oracle's client for Windows is guess what: Connector for MS Outlook.
Bynari Server: Connector for Outlook !
SuSE OpenExchange - MS Outlook !
SO... ?
The answer is : MS Outlook !

Sendmail and m4: odd issue

[Joe Polk]

Okay, on a clients server I needed to make a change to the sendmail.cf. So I
made the changes to sendmail.mc like a good boy and m4 sendmail.mc >
sendmail.cf. The server wouldn't listen on the external port so I went into
sendmail.mc and commented out the appropriate line like so:
# dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
Then I m4'd the mc ot cf again. This didn't work. The server still wouldn't
listen externally. I checked sendmail.cf and it appears that the line that mc
should have changed didn't.

The line reading:
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA

...should read:
# O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA

Why would m4 fail?

The # isn't a comment character.  Use dnl to comment it out.
Once you rebuilt your config file and restarted sendmail, try to telnet
localhost port 25 to start, and then from the client, just telnet to
server port 25 and see what happens.

Because a comment in m4 is "dnl" not #. i.e. add

dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

in your .mc file. Then recreate you .cf file.

Re: How to run X over SSH?

[Joshua Schmidlkofer]

Leo,

 I am sure that someone else covered this - you need a local X server. 
Cygwin, or Hummingbird, or one of a hundred others.  Then you run putty,
and say: 'startkde'.. or whatever the gnome startup is.   You have to
run software locally that is capable of recieving the X protocol.  On
Linux, you run 'startx', but that runs _native_ code that receives and
sends the X protocol.  You need an X-Windows emulator for Windows.

what commands are you running to load it? 

modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
modprobe ip_nat_ftp 

should work. don't put the .o when using modprobe.  Modprobe will
install all prerequisite modules whereas insmod only tries to load the
one specified. 

I have never seen them in modules.conf

dhclient breaks NTP in Red Hat 8.0. Patch it with:

Re: How to run X over SSH?

[Raymundo Vega]

What you need is a Xwindows package running on your laptop,
after you have it, then login on the server (putty with
Xwindows forwarding? ssh -X if you run one unix flavor)
and then in the server shell:

echo $DISPLAY
xterm &

the echo command should display something like: localhost:0.0
if the result of the echo line is something like :0.0
the xterm will be displayed at the monitor on the server.

Consider that it is possible that your server is *not* running
Xwindows and in such case the result of echo is an empty line.

hope this helps

Leo,
I think you should describe what X programs you want to run and why
you need to tunnel the X. Perhaps there are other ways of doing it.
for example VNC might be suitable.

If you have a slow connection somewhere in between your client and
server then it won't be a very pleasant experience,
although X will generally be faster than VNC.

If you are going to go the trouble of installing cygwin to get the
XFree-86 server then you might find you can get some of the X
applications to run directly on the PC (possibly still as X clients).

You could try the demo version of X-Win32 from www.starnet.com.

Cameron.

It's rarely ssh. Rsync has a history of subtle bugs, and thrashes the
link enough to sometimes expose bugs in the underlying TCP layer.

Upgrade both ends to rsync-2.5.6 (which has some bugfixes over 2.5.5) and
seem if things improve. You can get it here:

Hi Nat,

looks like that is the libc6 headers, the headers that libc was
built against. I wouldn't reccomend trying to compile 2.4.18 with
2.4.7 headers ..

nate


I've looked at this, and the glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20.i386.rpm is the rpm 
which gets installed on a default Red Hat 8.0 installation.

There's no such kernel-headers*.rpm which accompanied earlier releases.

My continued work on this has been to remove the second CPU and pop a 
terminator into slot 2 of the motherboard (for now, I really don't need the 
second cpu anyway). I still get the following error when trying to compile 
the kernel:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target 
`/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0/drivers/pci/devlist.h', needed by `names.o'.  
Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0/drivers/pci'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0/drivers/pci'
make[1]: *** [_subdir_pci] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0/drivers'
make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2

I'm starting to think I should go back to the kernel which came with the 
default install of RH8 and see how that goes.

I don't know, I'm open to ideas from people.

Michael.
