Re: reinstallation of windows

1998-04-09 Thread Bug Hunter
If you can get booted into linux, runing /sbin/lilo will read /etc/lilo.conf and write the MBR. Reboot after this and walla! If you want the Windows/dos boot info back on, run, from dos, fdisk /mbr. that will put the win95/dos boot on mbr. bug On Thu, 9 Apr 1998, Lai Chi Wai wrote: > Hi

Re: handling lots of POP acounts

You can simply add a line in /etc/passwd, with the shell set to /dev/null, and run 'passwd' as root to set the password in their passwd or shadow file. this will give them a mailbox but no shell account. bug Nils wrote: > I'm going to set up POP accounts for above 200 different email accoun

Re: Inetd problem? - HELP!!!

1998-04-09 Thread Bug Hunter
If you have an "official" readhat 4.1 or 4.2 cdrom, you can get the binary of inetd off of the cdrom and copy it to your hard drive, then kill inetd and restart it. also look for /etc/inetd.conf and make sure it is in good shape. from that point on, I would compare ls, login, telnet, b

In that case, you can set the shell properly in password. If you run the "adduser" script that Redhat supplies, then in /etc/skel, you can change .bash_profile to put and "exit" command at the end of the profile script. This will be copied to his directory. If you do this, then if a use

Re: Installing on second HDD

I suspect the df check is not checking the linked /opt directory, it is checking the drive the link is on. And that drive is probably full. Try this, temporarily (as root) rm /opt mkdir /opt umount /apps (unmounting /hdb1) mount /dev/hdb1 /opt install the code revers

I'll second that! It works well, and when combined with mrtg, it allows you to get a historic view of your network traffice density through routers. You can also get cpu load information and graph it. If you have dial in users, you can (using mrtg) graph the number of users online at any on

ip_alias, how to put in modules.conf?

1998-04-07 Thread Bug Hunter
Redhat 4.2 has ip_alias.o module, which allows multiple ip addresses on one ethernet card. I can insmod it by hand and it works. I've looked at the modprobe documentation, and got the ethernet driver to install automatically at boot. I did not understand how to cause ip_alias to be insta

pam installation problems solved

1998-04-05 Thread Bug Hunter
It turned out that pam was already installed, just behind the times, even though libpwdb.so.0 wasn't anywhere to be found. I was able to upgrade pam in 2 steps, and then wu-ftp installed. Interesting. Rather than reporting that an earlier version of pam existed, it complained about the libr

I tried to get the latest wu-ftp to enable a machine of mine to allow ftp out for netscape's CD ROM, among others. The wu-ftp 2.4 on redhat fails, requiring pam. I got pam 0.57 out of updates. It failed, requireing libpwdb.so, and pamconfig, and pwdb. I found pwdb, but not pamco
