Yes. Using the standard directions you end up with a new kernel called "NNNcustom" on the Grub menu so there is no damage. However if you try to boot that kernel it doesn't work. I may try a different config.

You (not you specifically, but people in general) don't ping webpages, you ping DNS records. > Well, not exactly ping is a program that sends an ICMP message (echo request) to a machine. as with most (all?) tcp/ip networking programs if the host given as an argument is not recognized as an ip address, a call to a name resolution routines like gethostbyname() is made to map a host name to an ip address. This is where DNS comes in. a typical linux host configuration will look in the file /etc/hosts an if not found will ask the dns server defined in /etc/resolv.conf for the ipaddress of the hostname. It can take a while for the name resolution to time out. > Try 'ping monolith' or 'ping http://monolith' and see what you get.

The relay_based_on_MX feature is not needed. 1) Add an entry to your mailertable file: mydomain.com esmtp:[ip of primary mail server] 2) Then add mydomain.com to /etc/mail/relay-domains. Whatever you do... do NOT add mydomain.com to /etc/mail/local-host-names. 3) Rebuild the mailertable database and then restart sendmail FWIW: There is a second option (this is what I do). Use the DSMTP mailer. 1) add mydomain.com to /etc/mail/mailertable: mydomain.com dsmtp:[ip of primary mail server] 2) add my domain.com to /etc/mail/relay-domains. 3) Rebuild the mailertable database and then restart sendmail The difference is now sendmail will queue all e-mail for mydomain.com instead of trying to deliver to the primary (which is down). Plus the normal sendmail queue runs will be ignored for e-mails that were queued with the DSMTP mailer. i.e. No DSN's are issued should your primary be down for an extended amount of time. There is an added step to using the DSMTP mailer. To release the queued e-mail from the backup server, you will need to issue an ETRN against the backup mailer server from the primary when its backup and running. I simply have a cronjob do this once an hour. Example: Using the supplied etrn.pl script supplied with the sendmail source... from the primary: etrn.pl backup.mydomain.com mydomain.com Steve Cowles --__--__-- Message: 3 Subject: Sound From: Skip Morrow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 14 Jun 2003 00:28:15 -0400 Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Once and for all, I'd like to have my sound card working *right*.

I used to live solely for the RedHat, but after RH 8.0, I had no choice but to find something else for my "workstation" purposes. Now, on the other hand, I love to put RH on every server I get in my grubby little hands, so I haven't quite left the flock - I sincerely believe that RHL works wonders on servers and is a better product for that purpose...but for a workstation, there are way too many performance issues, sound/multimedia issues and other niggling issues that prevent me from mucking around with it too much. Mandrake 9.1 is turning into a quite a multimedia/sound package - and generally, 90% of the time picks up all your sound/multimedia devices on the first go; and I'm personally more than impressed with it's sound reproduction and performance for doing things as complex as sound engineering and DD recording...(aside from the usual MP3 playing and DVD playing and the likes).

The relay_based_on_MX feature is not needed. 1) Add an entry to your mailertable file: mydomain.com esmtp:[ip of primary mail server] 2) Then add mydomain.com to /etc/mail/relay-domains. Whatever you do... do NOT add mydomain.com to /etc/mail/local-host-names. 3) Rebuild the mailertable database and then restart sendmail FWIW: There is a second option (this is what I do). Use the DSMTP mailer. 1) add mydomain.com to /etc/mail/mailertable: mydomain.com dsmtp:[ip of primary mail server] 2) add my domain.com to /etc/mail/relay-domains. 3) Rebuild the mailertable database and then restart sendmail The difference is now sendmail will queue all e-mail for mydomain.com instead of trying to deliver to the primary (which is down). Plus the normal sendmail queue runs will be ignored for e-mails that were queued with the DSMTP mailer. i.e. No DSN's are issued should your primary be down for an extended amount of time. There is an added step to using the DSMTP mailer. To release the queued e-mail from the backup server, you will need to issue an ETRN against the backup mailer server from the primary when its backup and running. I simply have a cronjob do this once an hour. Example: Using the supplied etrn.pl script supplied with the sendmail source... from the primary: etrn.pl backup.mydomain.com mydomain.com Steve Cowles -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list --__--__-- Message: 22 Subject: Re: dma_intr crc error booting kernel From: Angelo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: RedHat List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: Date: 14 Jun 2003 14:45:33 +0200 Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Il sab, 2003-06-14 alle 03:44, pnelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ha scritto: > try setting ide=nodma in your grub.conf or on the bootup command line. > > so the kernel line whould look like: > > kernel /vmlinuz-<your version> ro root=/dev/<your part> ide=nodma it worked! 10x do you think that i can re-enable dma after boot... now my box slowed down really a lot... after booting with dma (except that error messages) all worked good or maybe i can update something (kernel? hdparm?) to solve this keeping dma enabled bye --__--__-- Message: 23 Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2003 20:44:09 +0400 (EDT) Subject: do I have to pay for xmms ?

I next changed the user's UID to 501: # usermod -u 500 501 ; Thanks Jerry Maldonado! Then, I applied your suggested method to convert all the files marked as UID 500 to 501: # find / -uid 500 -exec chown 501 {} \; That resolved the UID problem. However... On logging back in as user, I experienced a problem I didn't expect: GID would also be off. It was still set to 500. So, I changed the default group for the user to anything but its own named group, then deleted the group that I needed the GID changed on. I recreated the group, but with the GID as 501. Then I set the user to default to this newly formed group. Now, I had to change any file on the system that was tagged as GID 500 to 501 under that same group name. I used a modified version of what you gave me to do that: # find / -gid 500 -exec chgrp 501 {} \; It took a while, but when it was through, I had changed all that could be changed over to the new GID. Incidentally, I should mention that as the screen scrolled by with files that were changed, I saw that 'chgrp' was trying to modify the GID to those files on the server mounted as a share on this PC. Unfortunately, it failed to do so. A permissions issue over the network? If I were to do this again, I think I would make sure that no shares are mounted. Everything seems to be as it should be under the user's new identity. LinNeighborhood automatically sets my predefined shares almost immediately, something I had re-invoke manually each time, even though set to automatically do so. It would seem the mission was accomplished and a success. Thanks to you, Johnie (and to Jerry Maldonado for showing me how to use 'usermod'.)

Mostly because of a lack of information on this specific problem out there, but the solution is relatively simple. (The trick is to look for info on file locking and MS Access databases). I presume you're currently running it on a windows machine, and want to instead store the data on SAMBA under linux. Step1: Install Samba (If you haven't already) Step2: Set up your smb.conf how you want it Step3: Create a SAGE share in the smb.conf like this: [sageline50] path = /home/netapps/sageline50 writeable = yes browseable = no create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/*.ldb/*.LDB locking = yes share modes = yes ...obviously replacing the path and share name above as appropriate. I found this worked well for me - you'll want to do some tweaking, specifically with permissions to stop people fiddling with things they shouldn't, but at least it works :-) Step4: chkconfig smb on (if you haven't already) Step5: /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start (if you haven't already) Step4: Copy your sage data files from the windows machine to the samba share you just created Step5: Map drives from your windows clients to the new samba share (you'll need to ensure that usernames are the same on the client and redhat server). If you don't have users on the server (and don't want to), you can always set up the above share as a public share. You'll need a line like: guest user = ftp ...under the [general] section in smb.conf, and you'll want to add the line: public = yes ...to the share definition shown above. Step6: Change the Sage shortcuts on the windows machines so that the target is specified as: c:\path\to\sage\sfw.exe x: ...where x: is the drive letter you used to map to the sage data on your redhat server. The crucial lines in smb.conf for sage are: veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/*.ldb/*.LDB locking = yes share modes = yes I found that unless these were in there, Sage would only allow access to one user at a time.
