NFS Problem After Upgrade to 7.1

2001-04-29 Thread Ed Alexander
(Please excuse this e-mail if this problem has been discussed. A search of the archives came up with nothing relevant.) I did a fresh install of 7.1 this weekend. Under 6.0, I never had any problems doing nfs mounts from my Solaris boxes (SPARC Solaris 7); however, under RH 7.1, the system hang

For an answer to your first question, try running /usr/bin/aumix. (man aumix) It will set all audio levels, work interactively, or save your setup in an rc file to be read at boot time. HTH. Cheers, Ed At 05:12 on 08 Mar 2001, Jerry Human wrote: > > I have setup sndconfig in RH 7.0 and can

Drew, As rday said, this is harmless and probably a good thing to leave set. If you simply don't want to see cron related messages in your var/log/messages file, edit /etc/syslog.conf and change the line that writes to /var/log/messages to look like: *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none

To find the source of the error message, try running the firewall script manually with the -v option: sh -v rc.firewall > /tmp/some.file You can then look through the output file to see where you have a file missing. HTH. Cheers, Ed On Thu, 4 May 2000 08:38:38, Burke, Thomas G. wrote: > No

Re: Why does modifying /etc/rc.d have to so complex

2000-04-18 Thread Ed Alexander
Philippe, When switching to a given runlevel, scripts are executed in alphanumeric order by their names within the /etc/rc.d/rc#.d directory. For example K0..., K1..., etc., then S0... S1..., etc. So, to ensure a script is run at the proper time in the sequence, simply name it so that it fa

Paul, AFAIK, tcpdump will let you look at packet headers and also capture packets and save them to a file, but it won't let you look inside the packets. Go to freshmeat.net and get 'ethereal'. It'll let you look inside packets in real time, capture them to look at them off-line, or look insi

Tom, I had the same problem on my RH 6.0 system. I could ping the time server, but rdate would hang. On my end, it looked like the request went out and nothing ever came back. No time out or anything--it just waited until I killed it. I never found a fix for rdate, but did find that ntpdate w

Resource Manager for Linux?

2000-01-22 Thread Ed Alexander
Is there a resource manager available for Linux? I'm looking for something similar to the Solaris Resource Manager. Primarily, I want to be able to limit the maximum amount of CPU a given process can use. For example, when I run setiathome, I give it "-nice 19", but it still grabs about 98% C

David, Simply run xvidtune from an xterm. Adjust position with the right, left, up, down, taller, wider, etc. buttons, clicking on "apply" to see the changes. When you have it set the way you want, click on "show" and the new settings are displayed to your xterm. Then edit your /etc/X11/XF8
