[Cooker] Good News... LIDS Enhanced Mandrake Kernels Available
Good news folks. I have finally patched and successfully complied and installed the LIDS Enhanced Mandrake Kernel without removal of any patches that currently exists. I will be sending to kernel maintainer the patches for the LIDS and the accompanying program with it so that he can incorporate it into the 2.2.17 release and I will look into the 2.2.18 version as well, provided he got available for 7.2 release. Anyone intersted in 2.4.1 LIDS Version, let me know and I will look into it and perhaps produce a new patch for it to be sent to the maintainer for use. -- Linux Administrator & Consultant Russell "Elik" Rademacher

RE: [expert] Patch File problem
Nevermind my previous post about help for the patch problem. I finally figured it out and got it to compile this time around. I will let you folks knows the current status on this patch of the IDS to the 2.2.17 kernel package later on today, after I complete the compliation and testing to ensure it works without any problems. Once done..then I will post the patch to Chmouel for him to merge into the kernel tree for the 2.2.17 update with LIDS Addition. -- Linux Administrator & Consultant Russell "Elik" Rademacher
[expert] Patch File problem
Okay...perhaps someone can assist me on this little problem. I have this tulip.c file which I need to patch with a new patch file..but it seems it just fails everytime, no matter how it matches. So... anyone can assist on this? Here is the patch and the target area. It also have a problem with the 2 parts of the ide.c patch as well. But everything else is patched cleanly without any problems after fixing the patch to fit after the whole set of patches that is setup with the kernel.

If anyone can get those three areas fixed, which it keep failing, then I appreciate it. Chmouel Boudjnah, I have included the modified patch for the 2.2.17 tree which you have made extensive changes and patches to it. It all patches cleanly except for three areas. If you can check them out and see what to be done to make it work, then let me know so I can continue on it and then continue the LIDS intregration and perhaps submit back to you the final version along with the LIDS setup. -- Linux Administrator & Consultant Russell "Elik" Rademacher lids-0.9.11-2.2.17.patch.bz2
[Cooker] LIDS Patch into the Kernel?
Have anyone considered patching the Secure Kernel with the LIDS from http://www.lids.org for Linux? I am thinking of patching the secure kernel files with that and then compile it to see if I can implement a new system to contribute back to the Mandrake for it. Dunno if we have released the 2.2.18 version yet, but I am looking into patching the 2.2.17 version at this moment and try it from there to see how it works and see if it is worth while addition and to make Mandrake stands out from other distros by having it part of the standard features. Don't get me wrong...it got wonderful stuff, but we need a good IDS system in there and frankly... I cannot seems to find one that is good for host by host basis, not network version. Snort comes to mind, but I cannot afford to setup a spare box to do the monitoring of all servers from remote box, when I can do something about it on host basis. -- Linux Administrator & Consultant Russell "Elik" Rademacher

[expert] Crontab Broken in 7.2?
Is the Crontab broken in the Mandrake 7.2? For past few days after I installed the new crontabs for one user and another as other, it simply do not run at all. Here is the entry that I set up in the crontab as follows: Elik's Crontab: 25 13 17 * * tar -zcpf /home/elik/archives-backup/2798-Monthly-`date '+%b'`.tar.gz /home/bt2798/2798/backups/`date '+b'`* 20 13 17 * * tar -zcpf /home/elik/archives-backup/3056-Monthly-`date '+%b'`.tar.gz /home/bt3056/3056/backups/`date '+b'`* Bt2798's Crontab 22 13 * * * /bin/sh tar -zcpf /home/bt2798/backup/bt2798-`date '+%b-%d-%a'`.tar.gz /home/bt2798/2798/data/ So..after few days of checking the directories... they do not have it.

[Cooker] Suggestion Idea for Mandrake 7.3 or 8 depending on how it goes
Have anyone thought about using the Two Kernel Monte, which is basically a kernel Module which allows Linux to load another kernel image into RAm and restart the machine from that kernel without doing reboot? I think this would be ideal way for adding enterprise level to the system without shutting the system down by utilizing that item. What do you all think about this? The info can be found here: http://www.scyld.com/software/monte.html Would this be feasible for Mandrake to lead the area by adding little interesting enterprise level like Solaris have done with their version 8 which allows them to reload the kernel without cold-booting the machine or warm-reboot? -- Linux Administrator & Consultant Russell "Elik" Rademacher
RE: [Cooker] YOU DID IT TO ME AGAIN!! FIX THE SENDMAIL PACKAGERIGHT NOW!!I c
Jeez Brian. Why you have to be so upbeat on the Sendmail? If you checked, Mandrake preferred Postfix over the Sendmail for lot of reasons and used it as default. If you have problems with Sendmail, why not just compile a new one for yourself and install it. It is not that hard to do it anyway, since I used Sendmail, Qmail and Postfix and I liked the Qmail and Postfix over Sendmail anyday. So just try and do that method and do it that way? Or get the Source RPM version of Sendmail and check the specs and fix it before having it built and compiled. That what most true administrators and linux gurus would do if the released packaged RPM version is not 100% perfect. -- Linux Administrator & Consultant Russell "Elik" Rademacher > > WELL I GOT NEWS FOR YA!!

[Cooker] Cold Fusion Installation on Mandrake 7.1 and 7.2
Hello all. I am wondering if anyone have successfully installed the Coldfusion on Linux which is apparently designed for Redhat 6.2 only? For it look for specific libraries to have it run properly, and frankly, I thought I solved those problems by getting the specific libraries which is the egcs++ and libstdc++ libarries from Redhat 6.2 files and it seems to stopped the bitching of mis-match libraries linking, but it still refuses to run, insteading giving me the lovely core dumps so far. Frankly, I would love to run the Coldfusion on Mandrake, but there is just no way that I am touching Redhat with the long stick even just to run the ColdFusion. Any help on this? I tried to get it working on 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 and no success yet. Hopefully someone else can help, since it is needed.

[expert] /USR Files underneath Wiped after Power Outage
Now I got a problem here, and I am wondering if anyone have experienced something anything remote to this. I have built the 7.1/7.2 Beta Server and it been running for about 2 days, when we had a power outage. So... when the power came back on, and I rebooted the machine, I noticed that one partition, the /usr seems to be wiped entirely. Reason is that when it started the init script bootup, it will spawn like crazy and stops there and I have to boot into it as single user mode to see what the problem is wrong. Anyone got this similiar problem here, since I got that kind of problem with 7.1 back then on my workstation few times and I thought it is a freak of nature. But now...having seen the same thing on production server, it make me wonders if there is seriously wrong with the distro or something that I have in place. -- Linux Support & Administrator Russell "Elik" Rademacher DelhiNet Web Services, Pvt Ltd. ___ Why pay for something you could get for free?

Reason is that I was building a new Mandrake Webserver using 7.2-Beta3 and noticed that Frontpage will not work unless this specific library is in. So...how about fixing that little item? I am going to give to Jean the updated Frontpage RPM Package which will work with the 7.2 Apache due to little change in the user ownership. -- Linux Support & Administrator Russell "Elik" Rademacher DelhiNet Web Services, Pvt Ltd. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2000 3:19 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Cooker] ld.so.conf > > > Gepper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > [...] > > > > /usr/X11R6/lib > [...] > > > /usr/X11R6/lib > > > > > > those blasted /usr/X11R6/lib's just keep coming ! > > our XFree86 specialist seems to have some pb with grep: > > pixel@leia:~>rpm -q --scripts XFree86-libs | head -4 > postinstall script (through /bin/sh): > if grep "^/usr/X11R6/lib$" /etc/ld.so.conf >/dev/null 2>&1; then > echo "/usr/X11R6/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf > fi > > i think adding /usr/X11R6/lib when it's already there is not the > right thing to > do ;pp > > > > > > > Owen > > Scared me that /usr/lib wasn't listed in my config, and you seem to have > > two ;) > > you don't need /usr/lib, see ldconfig(8) > > ___ Why pay for something you could get for free?

[Cooker] FP Extensions Support Update
Hey Jean. I am wondering if you are considering replacing the default patches and such that came with Frontpage for Unix in favor of the Improved_Mod_Frontpage, which I been hearing that is much better. Plus, that there is a update release of the FP 2000 for Unix as well. Any chance of seeing the updates for those? If you need a hand, let me know and I see what I can do. -- Linux Support & Adminstrator Russell "Elik" Rademacher DelhiNet Web Services, Pvt Ltd.
[expert] Status of Using the Mandrake 7.0 / 7.1
I figures I drop in a line about the current status of using Mandrake for production servers. I am currently using three servers, with the following configurations as follows: Pentium III 500Mhz, 256 Meg of Ram, 15 Gigs Drives. Here is what I have configured on those three bad ass monsters: Apache 1.3.12 - Provided by Jean with the MySQL Database, PHP4, formerly 3, Perl, Frontpage, Tomcat 3.2-Beta4, IBM Java 1.1.3, Qmail 1.03 with Vpopmail and Qmailadmin and SSH. And the result? I currently have over 6482 domains hosted on all servers, with 1142 on Unixhost 1, 1328 on Unixhost2 and 5392 on Unixhost3. If you are wondering why I have such a huge number on Unixhost3, it is due to the fact that Unixhost1 and 2 are moved servers from leased servers to our home brewed server and transferred the files over from there, which include removing Sendmail crap and other custom crap for clean installation. Unixhost3 is built from scratch and built up from there...and it is humming along nicely on Unixhost3with 8 high volume websites on Unixhost3, which averages around 40,000 hits per day on those specific sites and overall, 900,000 hits per day for everything combined on Unixhost3. Now...do you think that is little unbelievable or not? It was not possible with Redhat back then, but with this Mandrake system, I was able to cram so much and still have it run along with such aplomb with no problems at all. Now I am currently building a new server with 700Mhz system with 384Meg of Memory and 30 Gig drive to handle even larger influx of websites and to move some high traffic sites off to there. Anyone dare claim even bigger piece of pie of what Mandrake can do? I think mine is nuts, but works like a charm though. Hell... even my boss and the co-location facility who hosts it is amazed by it. :) So in words... keep up good work guys! --Linux Support & AdminstratorRussell "Elik" RademacherDelhiNet Web Services, Pvt Ltd.
[Cooker] PHP4.01 and JServ Comments
Ouch... So... how long do you think we need to wait and which packages are needed to be fixed for the PHP4.01 version to be considered stable so that I can put it in the 7.0 and 7.1 Mandrake Servers. I noticed that some mentioned about upgrading the Perl to 5.6 which is not a problem for me. But I want to make sure that the MySQL modules itself along with perl is working before I upgrade those. Other than that... everything else seems peachy on the servers. Just waiting for the upgrade of the PHP from 3 to 4 so that I can considered this done. BTW... I noticed that some people have mentioned problems with the JServ module under Apache. I got it working, after recompiling the JServ module with the -DEAPI gcc setting to make it work properly under the Apache 1.3.12 Mandrake version. And it works nicely. So... I might consider making a RPM package but I do not know how to do it in the first place. So...any pointers or such is helpful so I can make one and release it to the Cooker for anyone who is interested in it. It works with SSL and everything else that I got. I am thinking of trying to see if I can get TomCat to work, but frankly...their setup is nuts. Total departure of the regular Autoconf and Build setup in favor of whatever they are making. But I think I can get it working in a bit after I figure out how they make their modules. Also... for the Java System, I am using the IBM 1.1.3 JDK version in case you are wondering how I got the JServ to work. -- Linux Support & Adminstrator Russell "Elik" Rademacher DelhiNet Web Services, Pvt Ltd. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chmouel Boudjnah > Sent: Monday, August 28, 2000 11:02 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Jean-Michel Dault > Subject: Re: [Cooker] mod_php-mysql bad > > > Sylvain COTINEAU <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > OF !! > > I'm not the only one ! > > Someone in cooker team can do something pleaaz ! :-( > > I beleive we have to wait the return of the JMD jedi :-( > > -- > MandrakeSoft Inc http://www.chmouel.org > San-Francisco, CA USA --Chmouel > >
[Cooker] MySQL Client Program Problems.
Hello Guys. I am not sure if you know about this but I use the mysql_setpermission files quite often. However...the RPMS that I have gotten recently which is 3.22.32 version, it have client version of 9.38 or something. Now...here is the problem I came across when I tried to use it. I type in the command to start and after giving the correct password, this is what I get back. [root@unixhost1 bin]# mysql_setpermission Password for user to connect to MySQL: Can't make a connection to the mysql server. The error: Protocol mismatch. Server Version = 10 Client Version = 9 at /usr/bin/mysql_setpermission line 65, chunk 1. [root@unixhost1 bin]# I cannot figure out how to solve this, but I really need this fixed ASAP, since I use them to do the quick add of the mysql databases for our customers and after this upgrade...well.. I am really up the creek here. Any help is appreciated.
[Cooker] JServ or Jakarta
Okay guys. I been at the hair end and frankly, I would like to propose a challenge to all for this little dilemma. If anyone have successfully complied and have the JServ or Jakarta running on Mandrake 7.02 using the Secured Kernel Version, I would like to offer that winner a year free of WebHosting with 250 Megs of space on our server with no strings tied except for adult content stuff. That means you can put many domains or such under the allocated space of 250 Megs on it. So to make this happens, I would like anyone who have successfully installed the Mandrake 7.02 and the JServ with the Apache additions that is found at http://coruscant.netrevolution.com/pub/AES/, which includes the following: SSL, Extranet, MySQL and such, except for the Streaming Server. So. if anyone can get that to work, I need all the documentations and steps on how this is accomplished so I can verify it and have it running on the server. When it is checked out, then that winner will get that prize. So...if anyone take it up, get cracking on this. If you have any questions, please send those questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you and hopefully, we can get this resolved. The rules of the contest is very simple and clear. Not on Redhat, not on Debian or anything but on Mandrake 7.02, the latest version there is, with Secured Kernel Version running on it.>
[Cooker] FYI: Secure kernel install
Hello. Have anyone noticed that if you are using the Secure Kernel version, you cannot go beyond 56 IP addresses on one network card? Not sure if this is the feature or not, but I was able to cram up to 200 IP addresses on one network card, but not with 7.02 Secure Kernel version. Anyone have simliar problems with this?
[Cooker] Jserv and Java Problems
Have anyone have any success compiling the JServ and making it work under Mandrake 7.0 using either Blackdown, IBM or Sun Java binaries from 1.1.7 to 1.2.2 at all? Reason is that I got it installed and when I tried to run it, it just do not run at all, which is baffling me...and I haven't got any help from Jean-Michel on this subject or either people at Java Apache, which all says recomplie the Apache and use it. And frankly, I have done all of that, and nothing still works. That is the biggest problem here. I know it worked under Mandrake 6.1 but not under Mandrake 7.0. So... how about some invegistating to see what we can find to squash this problem.
[Cooker] Apache - JServ Problems
Hello all. I currently have problems with the Apache Server with the JServ added to it. It seems that it does not like each other due to the fact that the JServ do not work with the Apache as it is. Have anyone have any success on making the JServ work with the Apache at this time, with any documentations on this? - This mail sent through IMP: http://web.horde.org/imp/
