Re: strange error

thanks that solved the problem

permissions were:
-rwx--1 root root46224 Aug 28 13:16

but how did it happen i never entered the /lib dirctory as root

bye the way i am running squirrelmail as webmail and i have observed
that some of my squirrelmail users became owners of some randomly
choosen files in /bin and /usr/bin. i cannot doubt these users and
they do not have shell access.

Sounds like the permissions on /lib/libproc.so.2.0.6 have become mangled.
Go:
ls -ld /lib/libproc.so.2.0.6

It should look like this:

-rwxr-xr-x1 root root46224 Aug 28 13:16 /lib/libproc.so.2.0.7

(I have a slightly newer release than you). Basicly, there should be read (r)
and execute (x) permissions for all three permission groups.

First fix that, if that's what's wrong.

Then try to figure out what happened - permissions don't just "decay".
Have you perhaps been mucking around near that directory as root?

Also check that everything is ok compared to how the RPM database
thinks it should be. For example, here's what I did for this email:

[~/lnc]amadeus*> locate libproc.so
/lib/libproc.so.2.0.7

That told me where the library was.

[~/lnc]amadeus*> L `!!`
L `locate libproc.so`
-rwxr-xr-x1 root root46224 Aug 28 13:16 /lib/libproc.so.2.0.7

Checks the permissions.

[~/lnc]amadeus*> rpm -qf !$
rpm -qf `locate libproc.so`
procps-2.0.7-11

This tells me that the library comes from the procps RPM package.

[~/lnc]amadeus*> rpm --verify procps
[~/lnc]amadeus*> 

This checks the procps package against what is actually installed.
As you can see, it made no complaints, so my system is ok in this regard.

You can check your whole system this way:

rpm --verify -a

See "man 8 rpm" for an explaination of what the output means; it's a big
manual entry, so search for "VERIFY OPTIONS". Also, expect some differences.

Just thought I'd mention that this sort of thing isn't new.  The first time
I can remember hearing of something like this it was for the Appl II+,
a game with the title something like 'Real Life'.  It basically maligned

Such things are independant of open source software.

RE: How to & (submit jobs to background)

[Michael Oatman]

I was commenting more on that in SCO Unix and DEC 
and others, the way you run in the background is 
with a pipe ("|") immediately before the ampersand 
("&").  In other words, you "pipe" the command to 
the background (ie: sh%  | & ) in Unix,
like you pipe commands to grep or less.  

Obviously, this is not true in Linux, where one 
must not put the pipe, but merely the "&" alone 
after the command.

I wonder if there's a compendium anywhere of 
things that Linus changed when making Linux?

I would imagine it would be quite large.

Um, the above is correct.  Your drive is 100% full.  Remember that 5% is reserved 
for the super-user.  3238 - 5% => 3076

Start looking at some of the most common hogs:

/tmp
/var/log
/var/tmp
/var/spool
/home (in case someone decided to fill their directory)
/usr/local/apache/logs (or wherever you have it installed)

Re: / Is Full?

[Ed Wilts]

My common method of filling / is to think that I've got a remote volume
mounted a mount point and it isn't.  For example, I mount my backup volume
on /mnt/backups.  Obviously the directory is there, but if for reason the
volume fails to mount (eg, the server wasn't available when the mount
happened), I'd throw my backups into /mnt/backups anyway and fill the
sucker.

Since you've got a SCSI disk, you more than likely don't have a trivial
configuration so perhaps you could share some more info on what your fstab
normally looks like.

If you ever fail to start X, you could run level 3 - that will leave you in
full character mode with networking enabled and make it much easier to
troubleshoot than run level 1.

Re[4]: RH 7.2 CDROM issue, Dell OptiPlex GX1

[Michael Oatman]

Gene, that's weird you had to do something 
special to get Nero working.

I installed this RH7.2 system from ISOs dled from 
Gnutella and rh FTP and burned on Nero 5.5.4.0 on 
a WinXP Pro Corporate system using this relatively 
standard method:

Open Nero to "Nero Burning Wizard"
 check "Compile a new CD" > Next
 check "Other CD formats" > Next
 check "Create a CD from an image file" > Next > 
   Finish
Opens to "Open" dialog box, where you can browse 
   to an *.iso or *.nrg file > Open
Opens to "Nero Wizard [Burn CD]" window
 check "Burn" or "Test and burn" radio button
 uncheck "Create image" box (checked will simply 
   copy the image file to a virtual CD drive)
 select write speed
 click "Burn"
Opens to compilation burning window, which burns.

Aside from accidentally dling the second music CD 
from the artist "Enigma" from Gnutella, everything 
went fine for me (yes, I actually burned it and 
tried to put it in the CD-ROM when it asked for 
CD#2 during the install -- yes, I then went to rh 
FTP site to dl it!! ;)  The installation didn't 
mind waiting tho' oops!).

If you think that is going to keep that government out, you are dreaming.
All a user has to do is log into a site that it outside the range you

/dev/sda9  3238 30750100%   /

Obviously there is a problem somewhere. I would much rather not nuke it and start 
over. The filesystem on sda9 is readable, but when I move files off it, it doesn't 
report any free space as a result.
Any suggestions?

Somewhere out there there's a list called linux-c-programming...I
think it's one of the mailing lists pointed to on kernel.org (not
sure, though).  A Google search would surely turn it up.  I was on it
for awhile, and will probably rejoin it soon, as it was very helpful.

Re: WWW Visitor Blocking

[Chris Mason]

You can do it. Put a set of allow/deny directives in your httpd.comf.
However, you will have to work out the IPs that are allowed and denied.
I do this for one site I have, I don't want to government of one country
to see the content of this site. It's easy enough for this site as the
country only has two C classes and one ISP, but it ca be done if you
have enough time. ICANN lists all the IP bloacks and where they serve.

It's just a question of time.

Get the module here:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/R/RJ/RJRAY/Image-Size-2.96.tar.gz

Unpack and install:

  As you:
mkdir foo
cd foo
tar xvzf Image-Size-2.96.tar.gz
cd Image-Size
perl Makefile.PL
make && make test && echo YES

  If "YES", then as root in that directory:
make install

Then the script should just work if you put it in a directory in your $PATH
(eg /usr/local/bin or $HOME/bin) and set its permissions:

chmod a+rx imsize

It can't be done.  IP addresses are simply not managed in this manner.  If they
attempt to do so, they are just fooling themselves.

For example, I worked for a US company that was purchased by IBM.  Shortly we had
employees in the US, UK, Japan, and several other countries accessing the web.
Depending on where they logged in normally, where they logged in this time, and
what network configuration their local admin happened to be using,  they could
emerge onto the Internet at  five locations--two in the US, two in Europe, and one

Well, i don't know the exact syntax but i think that if you query with "whois" to the

Re: WWW Visitor Blocking

[Karina Gómez Salgado]

blocking access to a website by ip address is pretty simple with a javascript in
the webpage.

You can get the code for doing this in various free scripts sites. You can also
block directly in the apache configuration , with an .htaccess file.

You only need to know what ip classes are US classes.

Is it possible to block access to one's website by checking the IP
address?  For whatever political reason at a company I do consulting for, I've
been asked to deny access to their website to any visitor that doesn't
originate in the US.  Now I realize someone sitting in Australia could use some
proxy in the US to get to someone else's site, but they're not too concerned
about that.  They just want to outright block any IP that's not a US one.  This

Odd printing problem

[Ian Truelsen]

My printer stopped printing about a week ago and I have been trying to 
troubleshoot the problem since, but now I have hit a wall. 

Here are the specifics that I have tried so far: 

 - removed the spool directory
 - removed the printcap files
 - recreated the printer and started lpd
 - removed and recreated lp0 with mknod
 - set ownership of lp0 to root.lp, permissions to 0660
 - tested the printer both built in self test and on another machine (works 
with M$, I am afraid to say)
 - chnged the addressing and IRQ settings in bios to every possible 
combination 

Now, the current symptoms: 

 - at boot, printer is recognised and accessed (beeped) while checking for 
new hardware
 - boot up of lpd states no printers defined (both when printer is and is not 
configured in printtool), when it used to give two paragraphs of information 
about super io chips, etc.
 - when attempting to set up in printtool, the printer (Canon BJC-4300) is 
autodetected along with /dev/lp0
 - when attempting to print a test page error message states that there was 
an error trying to print test page
 - when trying to access via CUPS client machines, they stall on trying to 
contact printer, this did not used to happen 

So, as I say, I am stumped. Can anyone think of anything that I havn't 
tried? Any interesting responses from ouija boards? Consultations with a 
medium? A small? I'll try anything at this point. 

Thanks. 

Ian.

You start with /etc/named.conf.  Inside this file are pointers to the rest,

As another poster has already mentioned, handhelds.org is a good place to

Compaq iPaq 3650, using the pixil distribution. I've been meaning to try 
out familiar and possibly pocketlinux, but haven't had time lately.

Compaq is behind handhelds.org, and have agreed to repair any iPaq that you 
brick during an attempt to install linux on it, but you can't buy one with 
linux preloaded. Bummer.

Well, Windows cheats.  It doesn't actually print TrueType as you requested.
It will do a translation of TrueType fonts to comparable PostScript fonts.
For example, Arial could become Times New Roman.  There was a *long* discussion
on the Mandrake cooker lists a year or two back about KDE printing - a lot of
the CUPS work is done by a Mandrake employee, Till Kamppeter, IIRC.  How
solvable this problem is today I don't know - I haven't visited this issue in
quite a while.  I do know that the next major release of KDE was going to 
have a significant overhaul of the printing subsystem to solve problems like
what you're having, and to give all the applications true CUPS print 
requestors more in line of what you're used to seeing with Windows.

Ghostscript apparently allows the printing of TrueType fonts, but I don't know
how this is done which specific packages you'll need.

I'd probably start by posting at http://www.linuxprinting.org/newsportal/. 
You'll find Till there along with a bunch of other people who really know how
the printing stuff works.

Re: Re[4]: RH 7.2 CDROM issue, Dell OptiPlex GX1

[Gene Sais]

1st of all, thank you to all who responded.  Someone mentioned the linux iso site and 
I found the solution.  It was the CD burner software NERO.  I am using Nero 5.0 and it 
didn't support burning native ISO files.  However, there is a work around.  I followed 
these instructions and it worked:

GS> Brian - I think you are correct. I suspect its a bad burn. I am using

GS> On the CD's now:

This is wrong.

GS> Do I need to expand the iso files or can RH install using them?

The CD burner software you use should be able to "expand" them on it's own.

GS> PS. Do I need to use WinImage or WinISO, etc.?

No.

An ISO file is a single file representing the contents of a CD. All (that I
know of) CD burning software is capable of creating a working CD from an
ISO. Some have their own "Image" format as well.

I don't use Nero so I can not tell you the exact thing to look for.

What you need is something that says "Create CD from Image" or "Create CD
using ISO" or something along those lines. This will "expand" the contents
of the ISO properly onto the CD. You should wind up with the contents (once
burned) looking similar to the RH 7.1 you have (of course not exactly as it
is a different version). It should also be bootable at that point as well.

Have fun,

Except that this printer works just fine as a postscript printer with
Windows 95/98/NT/2K.  I'm not positive about this, but wouldn't the
printer have problems with large files with Windows too?  Since it's not
having problems with Windows it seems to me that the printer must have
truetype fonts.  How does the KDE printing system know whether it needs
to download the font definitions or not?

Hi Paul

First, I think you missed the fact that the problem is solved.

Second, I know how to tunnel X through ssh. This pc has no X libs, apps
or anything. An X gui is in no way appropriate for this task. Then I did

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ is the location of the scripts and

the fancy new gui dumps its crap then links them to network-scripts/ the

while I prefer doing it by hand, I'm not opposed to using a tool.
However this is a gui, and I need a console based solution (firewall).

I think the files you refer to above are a side effect or result of that
tool too, since I don't have them.

while I prefer doing it by hand, I'm not opposed to using a tool.
However this is a gui, and I need a console based solution (firewall).

I think the files you refer to above are a side effect or result of that
tool too, since I don't have them.

Thanks though, and see below for my fix.

The first question to ask is what would you have expected it do?  Your printer,
by the sounds of it, does not have truetype fonts in it.  So, if you want an
accurate printout, the font definitions *have* to be sent to the printer.  
Anything else is an approximation.

> I'd like to be able to print with the truetype fonts.

You've got two choices:
1) get a printer that has built-in truetype fonts
2) download the font definitions to the printer.

Welcome to the wonderful world of display vs printouts...

can't boot from floppy

[doug piper]

Upgrade from 6.0. 2 hard drives. Linux only on 2nd hard drive. Using
Grub. Using floppy created during installation from CD to boot into
Linux as I have always done with 6.0. I get the following error message:

"The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext 2
filesystem (and not swap or or ufs of something else), then you might
try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock.  e2fsck |
8193".
I am understanding this to mean that the floppy disk is bad or
installation didn't do it right. If the floppy is bad, how do I create
another one.
If that is not correct then how to I boot my machine. At this time, it
just hangs after the error message.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

RE: which log files should check regularly to ensure security

[Paul Hamm]

Install tripwire to be sure that no files are tampered with that you don't
want changed and you should find all the log files you want to check in
/var/log.  The most likely ones are messages, secure and httpd/error_log.
There are many systems to handle log monitoring logwatch and analog may come
in handy.  You can also secure your system with a firewall or by configuring
acls.

printing with truetype fonts on kde

[Carl D. Blake]

All right, now I'm really getting annoyed.  I recently installed
Microsofts truetype fonts from the windows98 CD I have on my RedHat 7.1
system for XFree86 4.1.0 (I know, I know - I feel dirty).  I did this
because when I did a recent up2date my XFree86 was upgraded to 4.1.0 and
all the fonts became pretty ugly.  Anyway, the fonts look pretty good on
my system.  Everything with the X display looks great.

The only problem now is that printing isn't working or at least it isn't
working for my browsers. Printing works for pdf files and for most
postscript files and text files.  However, when I use Konqueror or Opera
to print a web page the printer seems to choke on the amount of data
being sent.  I printed to a file and the file seems to have the fonts
embedded.  Apparently the printing system in KDE seems to think that it
needs to embed these new truetype fonts into the postscript files it
sends to the printer.  Embedding the fonts makes the postscript file so
large that the printer seems to choke on it.  The printer I'm using is a
HP LaserJet 6MP.  I'm using KDE 2.1.1.  Does anybody have any
suggestions?  I've tried changing the fonts back to the original fonts
and everything works when I do that.  However, the fonts don't look so
hot on my system.  I'd like to be able to print with the truetype fonts.

This used to be, incidentally, a common way to hide programs from
users in Unix.  The sysadmin would put Programs Not Meant To Be Used By
Mortals in /usr or /usr1, which was always mounted in multi-user mode.
They couldn't even FIND the programs.  (Unless, of course, they'd cracked

the is reminds me that when I fo\irst started palying with linux, and
was never sure if things were mounted properly or not, I do something
like

touch /mnt/floppy  NOT_MOUNTED

so if I did an ls on that dir I'd know immediately that a floppy wasn't
mounted. Of course when it was mounted I'd see the contents od the
floppy (or nothing). This applies to anything else you mount, including
over nfs.

[Timothy Lee Young]

Actually I was just thinking that I probably don't really need to upgrade
to the next version either; usually I do, but my system is more than
stable and suiting my needs.  

The only thing that seems appealing for a distribution to have is better
USB support so that I can have an easier time getting my scanner & smart
media reader to work.  Some of the new distributions have a utility for
helping with scanner setup, but I know if I played around with things
enough, I could get my Epson 1200u to work with my Red Hat 7.2.  The smart
media reader from SanDisk, I dunno about that one though.

Now that would be a great thing for Linux to have, true USB plug & play.
Anyways, I digress.

Actually (for me) it is never something new it is always having
something newer... always having the latest and  newest product that can
keep a person on edge for the next new release.. now with 7.2 it turned
out to be a great os, but knowing rdht they will come up with something
better.. and this makes waiting no fun.. make since??

Oh, I've been trying

and then I tried

and all sorts of variations.
Except the right one, it seems
When those didn't work I just minimized shell windows ;)

It appears that

FWIW, I choose b) when I had to make a choice.
One machine is DNS primary server for all my domains and the
other is DNS secondary and mail server.

CPU usage? It should be virtually nil.

[seyman@ns1 seyman]$ uptime
  3:03pm  up 84 days,  3:41,  1 user,  load average: 0.05, 0.03, 0.00

The increase in load-average is because I use ssh on my machines
and generating keys and comparing them uses CPU resources.

This is a Pentium 150MHz with 64Mo RAM.
It's DNS for 130 domains.

> 3) If the cpu usage (as per question 2) for my bind setup is to high, how do

I'ld recommend putting DNS on a server that does only that.

As rawhide is using a glibc-2.3-pre developement version and a snapshot of
gcc 3.1 I'd say that there is a major change in the components!

There's one parameter in the spec file to change so that it will

[OT] Three Questions about BIND

[Enrico Payne]

Hello, I have the following questions regarding bind on a RH6.2 server (BIND
8.2.3)

1) If I have many domains, and I want to split them between 2 servers
running mail and web serving, should I
a) Register the primary domain on the server that is running the
mail and web stuff or,
b) Should I keep 1 server running all the domains as primary, and
the other as slave?

2) What is the expected cpu usage for bind on a server that has +- 30
domains? (Mine currently goes from +-30% to 99%, but averages out at 92%)

3) If the cpu usage (as per question 2) for my bind setup is to high, how do
I correct this?

Great, thanks for the script. Where might I get the perl mod? I'm not so

Because CTRL-Z is the command to suspend a job, not to put it in the 
background for later retrieval.
