Hi all,
I am new to Linux. I just install two Redhat 4.2 linux servers. But have
many problem here. I think there is a problem with some configuration file.
1. I export a dir to other one but it can not be mount. the
/var/log/messages always tell me that "Jun 3 16:22:47 ib nfsd[203]: Access
by unknown NFS client 192.1.1.1". Is this a problem with "tcpd"? Do I need
to modify the files "hosts.allow" and "hosts.deny"? Must I use "tcpd"?
2. When I use rlogin on a AIX box to them, the /var/log/messages always tell
me
Jun 3 16:24:19 ib pam_rhosts_auth[6795]: allowed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
as root
Jun 3 16:24:23 ib syslog: PAM authentication failed for in.rlogind
Jun 3 16:24:25 ib PAM_pwdb[6796]: (login) session opened for user root by
root(uid=0)
Jun 3 16:24:25 ib syslog: ROOT LOGIN ON ttyp0 FROM fax
and need to type the root password twice. What is "pam"? How to config it?
3. Every time I reboot the machines, the time is changed to UTC time. Why?
Can anyone point me how to fix this?
thanks in advance

You would have to be insane to implement any significant database app
without transaction support. I spent weeks trying to recover data out of an
older non-transaction based system when the system failed. Transactions are
critical to ensuring the integrity of your data.
Apache also causes databases to be heavily multi-user even if they are
running and the same machine with Apache. Each of Apache's multiple
processes (there may be hundreds) looks like a separate user to the database
engine. Transactions are a necessity for sorting this out.

The tar xvf <file.tar> command should un-tar the file and set up some
sort
of a directory structure that contains the contents of the tar file. cd
to that
new directory and look around. There is almost always a README or
INSTALL
file with instructions on how to install. Usually the install consists
of ./configure, make,
and make install.

Hi all,
I've just installed rpm-3.0 on my machine. I changed the optflags in
rpmrc to
optimize for pentium (-O2 -mpentium) when building src.rpm files.
However,
--showrc does not register this change but merely shows optflags = -O2
I'm at wit's end. Ideas? Thanks.

IRC and ICQ are TOTALLY differnt concepts. ICQ is for sending messages
back and forth, and does NOT require you to sit and watch the chat go
by. You can have messages sent to you, and you don't have to answer
them right away, because they're not getting pushed out of the way by
others. IRC is a CHAT program. Totally different.

Subject: Raid 1 mirror in RH 6.0
Date: Thu, 03 Jun 1999 11:12:29 -0700
Hi,
I have been trying to set up a Raid 1 mirror using Redhat 6.0 using
stock kernel and raidtools that are included on their CD. I have tried
to follow the Software How-To & read all the newsgroups etc. including
linux-raid archives. I am not a newbie to computers but I am to linux. I
can follow directions if they are correct, I have read in the newsgroups
or have been told by RedHat (using 30day phone support) many conflicting
directions.
I would like to use stock RH 6.0 kernel & raidtools as this is what I
purchased from them with Raid 0,1,5 support.
Has anyone been able to make this work, and if so how?

I think we're getting closer now. A bug that corrupts a database is
professional, but one that wipes data on a hard drive is unprofessional.
I just want to know where to draw the line, because professionalism is very
important in my line of work. This sort of guidance can be invaluable.

You might consider getting a used MB/CPU. Most of your old hardware

One thing you can do as an option if you
are having Windows on the same machine is
to get the modem's init string from the dial up
inside Windows. You can enable the modem
logging and it will create a file called modem.log.

I tried kernel-source and -headers-2.2.5-21,
upgraded glibc-devel to 2.1.1-6 and egcs to 1.1.2,
but I still got the same problem....
I really don't have a clue.

You need to have make installed and some other rpms too espically the
kernel-headers*.rpm, kernel-source*.rpm, make*, binutils*rpm and most probably
few other rpms.

Didn't SUSE put YAST under the GPL?

I have read that SUN is working fast and furious to make JDK 2 run on
Linux; think I read this in InfoWorld.

All right - mystery solved...
It turns out it's using another copy of crontab
(/var/spool/cron/crontab.mail)
I can
crontab /etc/crontab
but apparently I can no longer change /etc/crontab and have crond
automatically adjust its behavior (or it can't anyway?)...
