Hi,
May I know what is the function of TABLE .TBL in the RPMS folder in Red
Hat 6.2 cd?
I need to know because I'm removing the packages from my version of Red
Hat. And I upgraded the kernels rpms.
Thanks in advance.
ps I'm running out of time.

Subject: sendmail and alias file
I have a Linux 6.0 running as a mail relay station but it seems that the
alias file is not working at all.
All mail flows straight through the mail relay to the mailserver without
any interference.
Only mail directly entered on the mail relay will use the aliasfile.
Anyone any suggestion?

Hello everybody!
I recently installed the latest version of Mandrake and still can't get an
internet connection with kppp. The linux.org site says my modem should be
recognized and I get it to dial out with the mini terminal option under kppp
but for some reason it hangs when I try to establish a connection via kppp.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks,

Subject: loading modules
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 11:03:41 GMT
I have a problem loading modules after upgrading from kernel 2.2.12 to
2.2.16. I cannot boot up from the SCSI drive if I try to load the
driver as a module (having created the initrd file), but if I load the
driver directly into the kernel it works fine. Also the network card
driver will only load if it is in the kernel as opposed to a module.
The /etc/conf.modules file is OK, works under 2.2.12 anyway.
Anybody experienced similar problems?
TIA
Mark.

Thanks for the anwsers,
However, I still have some questions:
1: I don't exactly understand what the s bit does to help me sharing files ?
I thought that it only takes care that all programs are executed with the id
of the users if the s bit is set ?
2: I could use the umask for every user such that when they create a file,
write rights are given to the group. However I don't want this to happen for
every file, but only in one directory. How can I do that ?

Does anyone know anything about printer drivers and more importantly

The company said tough luck -- this works only in Windoze so I am trying to
find some kind of alternate/compatible drivers or some way to build one.

I've downloaded a new driver for my soundcard, and need to recompile the
modules. I looked in the /usr/src directory as instructed, but find no
"linux" directory, only "linux-2.2.13" placed there during my Mandrake 6.5
install. This directory has only an "include" sudirectory, and NONE of the
make files etc necessary to "make modules". How can I compile the new
module? I've read that I shouldn't have to recompile the kernal to install
a new module...true?

Yes, it's a bit different. If you take a look at /sbin/init.d/smb
you'll see the following lines:
# Determine the base and follow a runlevel link name.
base=${0##*/}
link=${base#*[SK][0-9][0-9]}
# Force execution if not called by a runlevel directory.
test $link = $base && START_SMB=yes
test "$START_SMB" = "yes" || exit 0
If you typed "rcsmb start" START_SMB will be set to yes anyway. Else,
the value defined in /etc/rc.config will be used. If START_SMB is not
yes, the service won't be started although the links are present in
/sbin/init.d/rc?.d.

You mean "group group.byname" in one line, separated by white space,

Hi !
I have troubles to no end with getting the XF86_SVGA Server (resolutions
more than 640x480, more thean 16 colors) to run on my system:
Asus K7V Motherboard with Apollo Pro 133A Chipset
supports 133Mhz FSB, AGP Pro Slot, ..
AMD K7 Athlon 800 MHz
SuSe Linux 6.4 (Kernel 2.2.14)
I think the rest is not important.
What did I do so far:
I installed XFree86 4.0 as described on SuSe homepage -> no problem
I downloaded Drivers from the NVidia Hompage
Build version .093
tar (not rpm) for non-redhat users
I installed the drivers
A module "NVdriver" is now linked to the kernel
Still i cannot get the SVGA server to run.
Can Anybody give me a detailed description of eactly how to "install new
display drivers" in linux?
Has anybody succeeded in installing a Geforce(2) in linux? How EXACTLY
(please detailed step by step, As you have probably noticed, I am a
complete nerd!)?
Thanx

It depending on how you built wu-ftp. I think by default, and if you're
using tcp-wrappers, it will log to the DAEMON facility, so check
/etc/syslog.conf.
Otherwise, and this is how I have wu-ftp setup, it may be logging to the FTP
facility, and you may not have syslog configured to use this at all. Try
adding
ftp.* /var/log/ftp
to your /etc/syslog.conf file, then HUP syslogd and see if your ftp logs
start getting written.

You first need to specify what kinda cluster you'd like.
For a hot standby failover/ha cluster you don't need a lot of
raid-stuff. A Y-scsi cable and 2 SCSI controllers are enough.
For a parallel-cluster (high performance calulating cluster) you don't
need a HA file system.

/usr/src/linux is usually a link to the appropriate /usr/src/linux*
directory. In your case, /usr/src/linux should (would) link to
/usr/src/linux-2.2.13. You can add the link yourself, or not.

Old DOS fdisk did not handle non-MS partitions well. If your DOS
fdisk cannot see/handle non-MS partitions, you can get DR DOS--which
will-- or make a linux rescue/boot floppy (from net sources or your red
hat cd) and get linux fdisk to delete the linux partitions.

I have the same problem and if you set the settings

the current XFree 4.0 on Mandrake 7.1 has been
compiled without DPMS support.
Some other posts had suggested to add options DPMS
