1.5GB RAM seen by BIOS, but only 1.0GB seen by 2.4.0-test9 @ RH7.0 !?
I have three 512MB PC133 dimms in an AMD T-bird 950MHz / Abit KT7 system running RH7.0. All 1.5GB are recognized by my BIOS, but only 1.0GB is recognized by linux. I compiled kernel 2.4.0-test9 with HIGHMEM4G=y: > # CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set > CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y > # CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set > CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y > CONFIG_MTRR=y I tried appending various memory sizes during boot, but if I use anything greater than "mem=1000M" the kernel hangs during boot after the line: > Freeing unused kernel memory: 192k freed I compiled the kernel with kgcc. The appropriate lines from /usr/src/linux/Makefile: > HOSTCC= kgcc (snip...) > CC= $(CROSS_COMPILE)kgcc I have tried several tweaks to eliminate the possibility that this is a hardware problem, such as lowering my FSB speed, CPU speed, removing interleaving, and increasing DRAM delay. I see no change whatsoever. Can anyone suggest a way I can get linux 2.4 to use all of my RAM?

How to create a chroot login?
I want to put a single user in a chroot jail from the time he logs into my machine. He will be logging in via SSH. Since normal users can't use the chroot program, I think I will have to give him an SUID program to run. Can anyone recommend the right way to do this?

Alpha vendors?
I'm looking for vendors that sell SMP Alpha servers. This will be for a high-volume database server running on RH6.2. Any recommendations? Dave -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
Re: Removing Qmail...
Matt> Just curious, is it reasonable to assume that I could follow Matt> the qmail install FAQs backwards (more or less) to remove Matt> qmail and switch back to sendmail? Well, I consider moving from qmail to sendmail to be unreasonable, so I would answer "no" to your question... Why in the world would you want to do that?

That's just based on my personal experience Mike> of maintaining several significant sized networks on which I have had Mike> Sendmail, SMail, MMDF, QMail, and Postfix running. Hi Mike, I think I probably agree with you about the "better maintained" aspect of Postfix vs. qmail, but I am suprised that anyone would evaluate it as less stable than Postfix. Can you tell me why you have found Postfix more stable than qmail? Thanks, Dave -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
network print setup Q
local printer (hostname "print") works fine: lpr "file" prints OK.
/etc/hosts.lpd has workstation hostname in it.
restarted lpd.
on workstation, used printtool to set up remote printer at host
"print" with correct spool name. but workstation doesn't print. lpq
prints the following:
[root@ws /root]# lpq
ws.example.com: Warning: lp is down: sending to print.example.com
ws.example.com: Warning: no daemon present
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1stroot 15... 625 bytes
no entries
[root@ws /root]#
things I tried:
1. put a "+" in /etc/hosts.lpd on printer -- no change
2. put FQDN of ws in /etc/hosts.lpd on printer -- no change
3. put IP of ws in /etc/hosts.lpd on printer -- no change
4. put short hostname ("ws") in /etc/hosts.lpd on printer -- no
change
5. put IP of printer in /etc/printcap on ws -- no change
I tried restarting lpd a bunch of times, no luck.
any suggestions?
Dave

Why doesn't rescue mode create disk devices?
RH6.2, PII-400, 4 IDE HD, 2 SCSI HD I had a root partition SNAFU, and I would like to mount it under the rescue mode. I booted from CD-ROM and ran "linux rescue", which booted fine, recognizing all my drives. But when I got the bash prompt, the drives are not in /dev. I have used other rescue disks in the past that have automatically created those disk devices for me. How do I add these devices with the RH6.2 rescue mode? Is there an automatic method?

Re: ssh and 6.1
steven> I also have a raft of 6.0 systems which I use ssh to connect with. steven> Since doing the 6.1 install I can no longer do X passthrough via ssh to steven> any of the other systems.

If so I'd sure steven> appreciate some pointers. Works fine here. My guess is you have a hostname/resolver/DNS problem. The X forwarding appears to rely on coherence between your hostname and your resolver, although you would never know it just from the useless error messages. Check your /etc/hosts, HOSTNAME, /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/resolv.conf, and nslookup. Dave -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
easy demand dial in rh7.2?
Has RH implemented some switch in the PPP configure GUI for configuring demand dialing? I have read the various demand dial HOWTOs for pppd, diald, and wvdial, but they all seem to circumvent the RH7.2 configure scripts. I'd like to do it the way RH meant for once... They've made so much automatic that I can only assume there is a simple way to do this already implemented. Please send clues this way.

Re: postfix or qmail
I'm a qmail junkie so take my reply with a grain of salt. Jonathan> I finally decided that Jonathan> 1. it seems more people use postfix Not true as of this spring, when a huge survey found qmail's share of mail service domains to be about 100 times larger than postfix's. Jonathan> 2. I heard from at least 2 places that the qmail people do Jonathan> not stick to all the RFCs, if they feel the need to change Jonathan> something(though admittedly, I cannot confirm nor deny Jonathan> this. It might actually be a /good/ thing that they don't, Jonathan> but we've moving from NT to Linux so I thought I'd stick Jonathan> with the RFCs) DJB (the author of qmail) is rabid about sticking to the RFCs. If anyone doesn't stick to the RFCs, it's sendmail. You have nothing to fear in terms of qmail compliance. Jonathan> But most importantly, postfix is a complete drop-in Jonathan> replacement for sendmail. I.e. it does not break things that Jonathan> require sendmail. Most qmail users, including myself, see this as a feature for qmail: the sendmail way is the hard way. Users new to an MTA (basically anyone that has to ask which one they should use) will have a much easier learning curve with qmail configs than with sendmail configs.

SCSI adapter recognizes external or internal but not both !?
I have an Adaptec AIC-7850 SCSI adapter, to which I want to attatch an internal Plextor CD-R drive and an external Nikon scanner. My problem is that the scanner is not recognized if the CD-R drive is connected. I think that connecting the CD-R to the internal SCSI bus is somehow defeating the external bus. Is this supposed to happen? Is this because this is a single bus card? Can anyone recommend a PCI SCSI adapter that will support an external narrow bus and an internal narrow bus at the same time?
