Fix your DNS so that nslookup returns a name for that IP from the reverse
lookup zone, or at least make sure that you have names for your Win95 and
98 IPs in /etc/hosts.

That's ok if you have Red Hat. I directed them to the Debian source

It'll take script kiddies ages to to sort that out.

I have a copy of the commercial version of Red Hat 5.2 Deluxe, which
includes a great deal of extra apps. If I install the free version of 6.2,
will it only overwrite the existing files that are being upgraded, making
it a version 6.2 Deluxe, or would it completely replace version 5.2 Deluxe?
In other words, would it upgrade to 6.2 Deluxe, or would 5.2 Deluxe
become freebie 6.2?

Sure, I use cdparanoia to rip Cds to wav, then bladeenc to create MP3s
from those.
Both work in batch mode, so they're handy for running overnight.
I got the recommendations from the MP3 howto at www.linuxdoc.org.

You are correct about the CD being able to retract the tray via script.
I have no trouble making it work, but I'd still prefer not to have the
tray be ejected. The machine that does the backup is in a guest
bedroom... If I open and close the tray in the middle of the night, it
may wake up guests. If I do the backup during the day, it may interfere
with other uses of the machine.
So. Does anyone have any ideas on how to reload the TOC of the CD
without ejecting the CD?
Thanks

Subject: hda: lost interrupt
Date: 1 Sep 2000 12:01:30 GMT
Hi all,
I have RH6.2 installed on a laptop equipped with TOSHIBA MK6015MAP, ATA
DISK drive. Kernel upgraded to 2.2.16-3. From time to time I get
following kernel messages:
Aug 31 13:00:05 gplap kernel: hda: lost interrupt
Aug 31 13:00:05 gplap kernel: hda: status error: status=0x58 {
DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
Aug 31 13:00:05 gplap kernel: hda: drive not ready for command
Usually the machine starts to behave badly, so I have to reboot.
Sometimes, it recovers by itself, reporting:
Aug 31 16:30:59 gplap kernel: ide0: reset: success
and then it works fine.
I've browsed the usenet but nothing I've found seems to be relevant.
Most "lost interrupt" reports regard CD-ROM drives. One was
about a HDD and the reply suggested to switch off (U)DMA for the
drive. But when I try "hdparms /dev/hda", it responds with:
...
using_dma = 0 (off)
...
dmesg shows:
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1100-0x1107, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1108-0x110f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
but I do not know exactly what does "pio" mean.
any hints would be appreciated.
regards, Michal.

If only the partition table is damaged, you will be able to access the
partition again if the entry is made correct using Linux fdisk.
Note that if logical partitions are lost (which is not reported in
this case), the extended partition tables must be made correct in
first attempt, since writing an extended partition table to a wrong
location can damage data.

The partition tables should be made using the same geometry
translation as the BIOS uses. You can set the translation for the
tables in the extra functionality mode.

Do you ever hibernate (save-to-disk)? I began to get this problem
after I started using the hibernation facility on my laptop (also RH
6.2, same kernel). After hours of searching, I stumbled on a post by
someone who solved the problem - the solution is to uncomment
HDPARM_ON_SUSPEND and HDPARM_ON_RESUMS in /etc/sysconfig/apmd, which
sets all hard disk parameters to safe values before hibernating, and
wakes the disk up on resuming.
Of course, this solution isn't documented anywhere (at least, it
wasn't in any of the places I looked). Moreover, the
/etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/apmscript that uses this variable doesn't
actually use the value of HDPARM_ON_RESUME that's set in
/etc/sysconfig/apmd; if you want to use any hdparm settings other than
the very safest ones, you'll have to modify the script yourself.
If your problem isn't related to APM then I'm afraid I can't help you...

Subject: Data coruption on IDE Drive
Hi;
I have a Tyan based System with IDE Drives which installs correctly. The
NIC in wrong recognized as 3c509 instead of
3c90x but this is easy to change. I have transferred several large Files
to this machine (verified that the archives are ok!)
and get CRC errors from bzip2 and gzip (linux kernel archives) . The
problem is that it's possible for one file to be correct (gzip
--test) and minutes later the same test fails. Sometimes it works
several times in a row sometimes it doesn't at all. I think its the
IDE transfer that corrupts the Data ...
PS
The install from CDROM seems ok - XWindows runs and no signs of
corruption are visible. I changed the IDE Cables and
tried to install from the 2nc IDE BUS. Same result. Solaris which runs
on the 2nd Channel , 2nd Disk works perfect - so the
Hardware seems ok. This may be be triggered only by 'fast' transfers (vs
CDROM to Disk) ??

Yes, it is sorted. From the manpage:
Pathname Expansion
After word splitting, unless the -f option has been set,
bash scans each word for the characters *, ?, and [. If
one of these characters appears, then the word is regarded
as a pattern, and replaced with an alphabetically sorted
list of file names matching the pattern.

Bernd

The original poster just said he wanted to support a large
population. He never said anything about them being particularly
active users. If you have 500,000 accounts but the user-base doesn't
send or receive much mail, one machine is quite possible (although
having been through this sort of problem in the past I'd not want to
run it on anything less than 10 machines - and even that might be a
bit tricky to work reliably.)

Again, we don't know what his requirements are, so POP3 may not come
into the equation (but if it does, you're quite correct.)
On the MTA front, I'd go for either Sendmail or Postfix. Sendmail's
big and cumbersome, but it will do pretty much everything you'd need.
postfix is much smaller and easier to use, but more limiting with what
you can do with it. I'd avoid Qmail if at all possible - it has
definite problems when things get that large.
