Hello,
1) My Linux-Mandrake 6.0 (which is claimed to be RHL 6.0 with
enhancements) can't shutdown properly. The command I used is "shutdown
-r now". The shutdown process hanged up in the middle. A line reads
unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ...
(I haven't jotted down the address).
The line is followed by many bracketed numbers. The last line of the
error message(?) reads
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/S00 halt: lines 1: 1155 Segmentation fault
halt -i -d -p
The linux system was freshly installed. I didn't change any
configuration after installation. In fact, the first thing I did after
installation was to try to reboot the system. What are the possible
causes of the failure?
2) During installation, I chose NOT to install lilo. However, on Windows
98, Norton AntiVirus told me that the master boot record had been
modified. Why?
Cheers, Hankel

Did you give arguments like
-o uid=503,gid=100,umask=002
to the mount program or have you a line like
/dev/xxx /yyy ntfs noauto,user,uid=503,gid=100,umask=002

man mount and friends should help explain these arguments

Linux Gurus,
Does anyone know how to configure a printer on LINUX?? All I know
is the printer's IP address. Can anyone help?
I have RedHat6.0
I've downloaded a printcap file which I place in the /etc directory.
This seems to do the job only when I print from the console, i.e.:
lpr <filename>
but in ineffective when I try to print from applications like
StarOffice.

Thanks for the tip. The web page you pointed me to had me do this to fix

I know about the print filters, and used printtool to set my printer to
a Postscript printer. I even sent the raw PS file to the printer from a
non-Linux machine. The result is the same: all my Postscript-generating
apps produce printouts that look like 300dpi output was sent to a
printer capable of 600dpi. They are not jagged -- resolution enhancement
takes care of that -- but are not as well formed as Windows print
output.

Microsoft challenges hackers to break into Windows 2000
In a controversial move, Microsoft Corporation has made one of its Windows
2000 Servers on the Internet available to hackers, inviting people to
attempt to break in. The goal: To make Windows 2000 as industrial strength
as possible. The company says it is looking for any "magic bullet" attacks
that can kill it, and has asked hackers to follow some simple rules so that
they can determine the validity of any attacks. Since the server went online
Tuesday morning, it has yet to be hacked.
Feel you've got the right stuff? Head on over to
http://www.windows2000test.com and find out.
Note: At the time of this writing, the server was unavailable, but its
expected to be back up soon.

you'll find some entries like fd0u1722 etc..
do a 'mke2fs /dev/fd0u1722', that should do it, I guess.
IMHO, all of those fd0s point to your first floppy drive
(a.k.a. Window~1/Doze a: drive) , only it reads/writes in
a different format by the device name you called it.
It worked for me, when I was trying to do a tomsroot

Don't have access to my linux machine now, else could
have specified the mknod parameters for creating this

What would be the advantage of using B-trees? They are a rather complicated
structure. The system of using the inode to store the pointers to the first few
blocks, and a system of indirect and doubly-indirect blocks works well enough.

If it prints from the console, you are already doing better than I am.
I have Slackware, but when I enter lpr <filename> it tells me that it
can't get the official name of the local machine, whatever that means.
The machine name is everywhere.

Subject: Howto check if Port # is block by ISP?
Date: Fri, 06 Aug 1999 12:37:25 -0400
Hi,
I am connected to the Internet through a local ISP: NetZero.net. I can
surf the Internet with NetScape 4.6.1. I can even send e-mail to anyone
through the ISP's stmp server. However, when I tried to setup my other
e-mail account from a third party e-mail provider, i.e. mailandnews.com,
I could not send out the e-mail and the sendmail responded with "Network
Unreachable". Having said that, I did the following to test if the ISP
has blocked the smtp port:
1. "telnet mailandnews.com 25" produces the following error message:
telnet mailandnews.com 25
Trying 199.29.68.160...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
2. "telnet mailandnews.com 23" produces the following error message:
telnet mailandnews.com 23
Trying 199.29.68.160...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
So, it looks me that the ISP has blocked the smtp port. Can anyone
please confirm that what I have done above is correct? Also, is there a
way to by pass the blockage?
I certainly appreciate if you could kindly respond through e-mail.
Thanks.

I tried the "--nodeps" option and the whole X window freezes while it was
installing the rpm files. I had to do reset on the machine to start the X

Subject: bash scripting problem in efax for RedHat 5.2
Date: Thu, 05 Aug 1999 11:13:22 -0700
I am trying to set up fax services using the efax RPM for RedHat 5.2. I
have a problem with the efax /bin/sh script:
cd $FAXDIR # the lpr spool directory for printer
'fax'
cfile=`tail -1 lock`
cfile=`cat $cfile`
num=` echo "$cfile" | sed -e /^[^J]/d -e s/.//`
host=`echo "$cfile" | sed -e /^[^H]/d -e s/.//`
user=`echo "$cfile" | sed -e /^[^P]/d -e s/.//`
cat - >> fax$$ # save in a file
l=`$FAX send "$num" fax$$`
The script changes to the /var/spool/lpd/fax directory, grabs the
current cf* file from the lock file.
(This is were it breaks)
It tries to cat the cf* file. From what I can tell, it never gets the
results of the cat command. Could someone tell me why this would be
true. I've tried more variations than can be described here, but none of
them seem to work. Is there something strange with the RedHat 5.2 BASH
shell?
I have spent almost two days on this little bit of code and am no closer
to a solution than when I started. Any help would be gratefully
appreciated.

Most of the unbranded 486 boxes used marginal motherboards, and a lot
of them were "overclocked" or used memory too slow for the job.
Turning the clock rate down is usually the easiest way to make
such a machine reliable. Look for a socketed oscillator module
twice the nominal speed of the CPU, and try one 10-15% slower.
The turbo button will probably not help because it's not really
switching the clock rate, it's adding wait states or extraneous
bus cycles or something.

How did you set up the printer in the first place? Linuxconf or Control
Panel are good places to start. I also use RH 6.0, and haven't had any
trouble when using these tools. If you know the IP (or server name) and
the printer name, that should be enough info to find it. What it does
when it gets there is another story. Using someone else's printcap can be
a dangerous thing, since they are highly customized.
In any case, if you are able to print from the command line but not from
some software package, it seems logical that the problem is with the
software configuration. Perhaps it's trying to print to
lp0 instead of lp1. Hard to say without more info.

a..
b.. Partition and make filesystems on the drive (fdisk, mke2fs, mkswap)
c.. Mount the filesystems and make a few directories
# mount /dev/hdb1/ /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/mnt /mnt/proc
d.. Copy everything over to the new drive
# cd /
# ls | grep -v proc | grep -v mnt > everything
# (tar cf - `cat everything`) | (cd /mnt; tar xvpf - )
e.. Change /mnt/etc/fstab and /mnt/etc/lilo.conf to reflect the new boot
device.
f.. Run lilo to install the bootloader on to the new drive
# lilo -r /mnt

Hi, to all Linux-users,
Would be very grateful for any advice.
Question: How to successfully transfer a complete bootable Linux-system
to a new harddisk,
and later removing the old harddisk from the machine
Have been successful so far in doing:
1) Setting up the new drive as slave
2) Copying the windows98 on the new Primary Partition with
Disk-Wizard
3) Creating and Formatting new portions on the new drive (native
82) and swap (83)
swap (250MB) native 12000MB
This the status quo now!!!!
Now I guess. Problably I have to mount the new native /dev/hdb3
on a new directory ????
How can I then transfer (they told me to use cpio) all the data to
the new native partition??
so that I can make it bootable and can reinstall lilo for
dualboot.
Finally the old harddisk should be removed.
I thank you all so much for any help!!!!!
Especially what are the parameters for cpio
Is it
cpio copy-pass /dev/hda3 /* /dev/hdb3 /* ?????
Ownership and permissions must be the same in the new version
dev/hda3 ( my original system with all data)
dev/hdb3 (my empty new system partition)
Thank you so much gentlemen!!!!

Subject: mod_perl and Apache in RH6.0
Date: Fri, 06 Aug 1999 16:31:07 GMT
I'm fighting with apache_1.3.6 and compiling mod_perl in.
Now, I can build mod_perl-1.21 without a problem, but when i go to build
apache with mod_perl statically, it doesn't work.
I do this, to configure apache (and i have to chroot apache)
$ cd ../apache_1.3.6
$ ./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/jail/apache \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a
The configure works without a flaw if i don't add perl (minus the
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a), but if i do attempt to
add libperl.a, i get this:
Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.6
+ using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout)
+ activated perl module (modules/perl/libperl.a)
Creating Makefile
Creating Configuration.apaci in src

+ id: Perl/5.00503 (linux) [perl]

+ adjusting Apache build environment
+ enabling Perl support for SSI (mod_include)
+ doing sanity check on compiler and options
** A test compilation with your Makefile configuration
** failed. This is most likely because your C compiler
** is not ANSI. Apache requires an ANSI C Compiler, such

Aborting!
Now, i think this indicates that i need to rebuild perl, but if so, i'm
not entirely sure how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
