You cannot have the same IP listed twice. But you can use any other
127.x.x.x IP instead. Try making the second one 127.0.0.2. Note
that
because of multiple listings for the same IP, the lo interface below
is
missing its IP and I am surprised that pppd works at all.

If you fix your /etc/hosts then ifconfig will fix itself and this

Subject: Cant create a partition with disk druid?? (newbie
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:47:21 GMT
From: Eric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi Trent,
I still do have some ideas on what you can check, make sure that the
/boot partition doesn't crosses the 1024th-cylinder of /dev/hdb, so
make
it small (15M) and at the start of the disc. If that doesn't work,
you
can try fitting it on /dev/hda by resizing the partition(s) there.
You
would still need only some 15M there and all the other partitions
could
still be on /dev/hdb. Just a thought, can you create a /home on
/dev/hdb? If you can do this that's a sure hint that you're dealing
with
the 1024 cylinder problem. (check the setting in your BIOS too, is it
set to LBA?)

^^^
Just some extra info, if this does look any different on your system,
change it to this partition-type. The type of the extended partition
must be windows ext'd and not linux extended. Otherwise windows
probably
isn't able to find any logical partition in there, because it uses
the
partitiontypes to assign drive letters to the different partitions.
That's also why some people have (inaccesable) linux partitions
showing
up in windows. So use linux ext'd only if there are no windows
partitions inside the ext'd partition, otherwise use windows ext'd

Sorry. I wasn't thinking. Of course it should be uncommented.

From: "Brad Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi,
I recently got ADSL from my phone company, but all they support (and
sell
anymore) is USB or PCI internal modems. Everything I have seen about
making
ADSL work with Linux has been based on using an external modem with
an
ethernet interface. Can't afford it right now, gotta try to make what
I have
work.
I have not been able to find any drivers for the 3060 card. Is there
anything like it I might adapt?
Trying another tack, any chance I could run windoze in an emulator,
run the
ADSL drivers under that, and somehow get a connection out to Linux?
Any ideas?

In fact, you can install all the required package at the same time. I
use RedHat 6.0 too and I just upgrade two machines' kernel to
2.2.16-3
few days a ago. I did not have any problem with the installation.

I want to work with a team on the same files with the same rights.
What is
the best way to do this ?
What I do now is: I am the owner and give rights to the group.
Whoever they
can't use chmod to change user rights to make a file executable, or
when
they make a new file, I am not able to write into it ?
So would like that the group is the owner and not a user when a file
is
created in a certain directory. Is something like this possible ?

Well, since the same system worked before adding a secondary NIC,
chances
are good that this doesn't have anything to do with the problem. It
could
be a cable problem, though (maybe inadvertently pulled off of its
socket).

Try unplugging the NIC for the cable modem, and try again. If it
works now,
you'll have to move around the PCI cards until all cards get an IRQ
of
thier own. Disabling the NIC alone won't help you, since it's the
system's
BIOS that assigns the IRQs onto the installed PCI cards/slots . The
AHA2940
series doen't really like sharing interrups.

Do you have the following line UNcommented in /etc/inetd.conf:
login stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.rlogind
Did you set up an .rhosts file in your home dir of the box you are

Is this really true? Surely it just means that /dev/cdrom is pointing

Start minicom, and enter

That should do it.

Put it in /etc/rc.d/boot.local if it should start before any runlevel. Or put it

There was a compilation error related to 2.3.x kernels. It was fixed by the
0.5.8a release. In the meantime there is a 0.5.8b version. Get it.

Subject: redhat kernael upgrade
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 13:31:08 GMT
I have just upgraded a system from 2.2.12 (which has been running fine
for some time) to 2.2.16 and had numerous problems getting the system
to boot in the first place. Eventually I loaded the SCSI drivers into
the kernel and not as modules as the error messages seemed to imply
that the SCSI module hadn't been loaded. The system then booted up. But
it seems that none of the other drivers which are still loaded as
modules are actually loading (the network drivers for example). So I'm
sure I've got a 'loading the modules' type problem. I checked that I
have all the right versions of programs as mentioned in the Changes
file, but now I am a bit lost. Is this a known problem? Anybody had
similar problems?
Mark.

Hi,
I know it may be simple question for you.
In the inet script, the line contains
******************
if [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ]
then
exit 0
endif
*****************
I am always getting syntax error "[: = " unary operator expected.
But the same inet script is running in Redhat 6.1 box ok. The error I'm
getting from Mandrake 7.0
I'll really appreciate any help from you guys.
Thanks,
-Rajat.
