I installed OpenSSH 2.1.0 from source on a newly installed RH 6.2 system.
I can ssh out from this box, but ssh'ing in (even from localhost) yields
the following syslog messages
May 10 17:07:38 duslvs1 sshd[1166]: Failed password for ahopkins from 127.0.0.1 port
632
May 10 17:07:50 duslvs1 last message repeated 2 times

I know the password is correct and I am using whatever default PAM settings

I don't know how things would work in that direction, but they
work fine in the opposite direction. I have taken a VALinux
system and done a straight upgrade to a later version of
RedHat without problems.
As VALinux departs more from RedHat, we can expect some inconsistencies
to creep in.

I have a 2.5/5 GB Colorado tape drive, which is think is basically
the same except for the size of the cartridge it uses. The
instructions are not to clean it.
There may be something wrong with the tape. Otherwise you
should consult Colorado (HP) about maintenance for the drive.

Subject: "can't open...module.dep" +lilo trouble
Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 23:26:44 GMT
hello!
i just installed slackware7 on my puter. a skeleton install. less than
300meg, no X. it came with kernel 2.2.13
i got kernel 2.2.15 and installed it. (my NIC works now:) woohaa!)
i did:
make clean
make dep
make menuconfig
make bzImage
make mrproper
and i get this error when i boot linux (its among the last 15rows):
Updating module dependencies for Linux 2.2.15
can't open /lib/modules/2.2.15/modules.dep
but it doesn't seem to cause any havoc. (except my keyboard isnt
working very well... but i guess thats something else, or?)
of course i don't even have a /lib/modules/2.2.15 file.
there is a ...2.2.13 with a modules.dep in it though.
and thats the only "modules.dep" in the whole system (afa find knows
anyway).
what should i do?
i know i compiled my kernel with a few things as modules.
MUST there be a module.dep?
if so, what do i do?
and lilo...:)
lilo worked ok when i had mandrake7.
win is on hda1(5gig), linux is on hda2 <hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8> (7gig).
when slack installed lilo during the distroinstall it hanged. like this:
"LILO _" and waited a few sec's and then booted linux.
tab didnt work.
i experimented a bit and found out that it solved the problem if i
put "prompt" before "delay 70".
now tab works, and it shows me a normal prompt.
BUT, it waits forever.
it doesn't choose the default (linux) after 7sec's... it just keeps on
waiting.
this is my lilo.conf:
boot = /dev/hda
map = /boot/map
prompt
delay = 70
image = /vmlinuz
label = l
root = /dev/hda5
read-only
other = /dev/hda1
label = d
anything wrong with that?
lilo -v reported version 21
where can the problem be???
thanks in adv / alex

I get the same as you, or similar, doing a uname --version
gives me "uname (GNU sh-utils) 1.16", it possibly just use

Over here (RH 6.0) it seems to indicate that it's set at the time of the
install. But even for a value of 0.21 it gives a depth of 24. What is
a colormap in this context, I know what a collour map is in POV-Ray but

Get your list into a file like:
$ dpkg --list > a_text_file.txt
Then print a_text_file.txt the way you'd normally print a text file.
I don't use Debian and have never printed from linux, so the above
is just an idea and shows you how to put output from a program into
a text file.

Unfortunately, anything I can see of Scientology's behaviour seems to

It is not at all obvious that being unwilling to tolerate Scientology

I bought a new processor fan once. It was noisier than the old one,
so I put the old one back in. It's now much quieter than it was
before I bought the second one. Isn't hardware fun?

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">

I recently downloaded "cdrecord" and it said that if I wanted to use my
CD-R, I need to load the module "ide-scsi" so that a scsi host is emulated.
I've tried this from the LILO boot up, ("hdb=ide-scsi"), in my LILO.CONF
file with "append", and at the prompt using "insmod". However, my
CD-R is still seen as just any other IDE device (although it did pretend
that my IDE Zip drive was SCSI). Does anyone have a possible solution
for this? So far, I'm guessing that some cd drivers are compiled
directly in the kernel and that their detecting my CD-ROM drives, but I
don't know how to stop it -- but I don't even know if thats the problem...

Subject: mkisofs syntax question
Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 00:12:13 GMT
Hullo all.
I would like to invoke mkisofs in a manner similar to:
mkisofs -options -o somefile.img /usr/local/foo /usr/local/bar
such that the results would be equivalent to:
mkisofs -options -o somefile.img /tmp/staging_area
where /tmp/staging_area contains:
@foo -> /usr/local/foo
@bar -> /usr/local/bar.
The syntax I am currently using probes all of the directories
given on the commandline and 'flattens' out everything such
that every directory in /usr/local/foo and /usr/local/bar are
in the root of the iso filesystem.
Also, acceptable would be an iso filesystem where the full
paths are replicated as input on the commandline and the
root of the iso filsystem would contain /usr.
I'd like to avoid the creation of a staging area (either with
symlinks or bulk file copying).

Thanks for your response, Bill. I am currently running under Windows 95.
I thought I had the software, but it does not seem to expand the
directories and files. Nero states that it does not currently support
Rock Ridge extensions, but I suspect that cannot be the only thing I'm
doing wrong, since many others would have been caught in the same trap.
Neil mentioned something about EZ CD Creator, and I have heard of it
being that easy, but I don't have that software. Guess I'm just lucky...
If the linux disc (5.2 Red Hat) has a dos or windows util to burn discs,
please let me know, as I do have that disc. I just want the latest
version :-> Also, do I need a separate boot image, or is that part of
the red hat 6.2 disk image?
Thanks again.

Subject: Large file support (>2GB) on 2.2.x kernels (NT vs. Linux FTP)
Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 19:07:30 -0500
I've lost track of the current wisdom regarding large file support on
2.2.x kernels. Even after sifting DejaNews and some Linux sites
I am confused...
1) Are there patches for 2.2.x kernels to enable LFS in the kernel?
2) Are there patches to enable LFS in glibc on 2.2.x systems?
3) To what extent is LFS in glibc transparent to apps?
4) If not transparent, are there patches to allow wuftpd/cat/etc
to use LFS?
5) And to what extent are the answers different for 2.3.x systems?
6) And does anyone understand what of all this is really in RH6.2EE?
Background:
We are working up to proposing to replace a WinNT 4.0 (Intel 32bit) box
with Linux, but the customer is transferring larger and larger files
using FTP, and has just gone beyond 2GB files. They are generating
and consuming the files on Solaris boxes which handle >2GB files just
fine.
Our FTP box is part of a collection and distribution system, and for
several reasons we would like to move away from NT. But it is not
feasible to suggest to the customer that they split/cat files on the
Solaris systems just to move them thru the FTP waystation. We need to
allow transparent use of >2GB files thru the FTP box.

Subject: Sharing a DSL connection with Linux
Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 00:43:56 GMT
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this question - even
if just to point to some other source where this question has already
been answered, as I'm sure I'm not the first one to ask it!
I'd like to share my DSL connection among a small network of computers.
Here's what I *DO* know what to do. At home, I have a network of 2
Windows boxes and 1 RedHat 6.2 Linux box. The DSL connection comes
through a DSL modem and into a network card on my "main" box running
Win98. From a second network card on that box, I have a line running
to a hub. From the hub run connections to the other machines on the
network.
Using Win98's Internet Connection Sharing, this makes for a
satisfactory arrangement. The "main" Win98 machine receives the DHCP
address from my DSL provider, and the other machines on the network are
hard coded to a 192.168.0.x private address.
Here's what I *DON'T* know how to do. At our church, a network of 5
Windows machines and 1 RedHat 6.0 Linux box which has a DSL connection
but is (at the moment) isolated from the rest of the network. The
Linux box serves as the webserver for our church's website - it has its
own domain name and assigned IP address through DSL.
I'd like to share the internet connection with the network of Windows
machines. I imagine I can probably do this in a way similar to what I
wrote above; the Linux machine would have 2 NICs - one for the DSL
line, one to join the hub that the rest of the network uses.
So:
1) Is this possible? And if so,
2) How do I go about setting it up? What's the Linux equivalent of
Windows Internet Connection Sharing?
3) Or is there another way to accomplish what I want, while still
allowing the Linux box to have the assigned IP address? (all other
machines will have private IP addresses)
Thanks to anyone who can either tell me how, or point me in the
direction where I can learn this on my own!

I followed your instructions exactly. The result is that when
I ctrl-x to send message , it is sent immediatly to my sent box. Even
with the phone plug out of the wall. And reading the mail , it is
"reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] " .... my name does not even appear.
Something wrong somewhere.....

mkisofs -options -o crud.iso /foo/=/usr/local/foo/ /bar/=/usr/local/bar/
That little trick for mkisofs is easy to miss... handy sometimes
though. HTH.
