[Cooker] BIND 9.1.0
I have seen information that BIND 9.1.0 supports Dynamic DNS, it is my understanding that you could run a service similar to what dhs.org provides with this. Is this true? If so how does one use this feature? I am having difficulty finding relevant information in the documentation.
[Cooker] New ppp RPM
Hello, This is my first time contributing an RPM, so please bare with me. I have updated the PPP RPM with the PPPoE patch to allow PPPoE with the 2.4 kernel. I also made a few fixes to the RPM. It's in the incoming directory right now. Thank you, Gary Simmons
Re: [Cooker] new kde 1_92 uploaded (20000730)
Has any work been done yet on integrating Mandrake's Menu system into KDE2? I'm running with the snapshots right now (2728 I believe) But my menus are all disorganized, a clutter of default KDE stuff + Mandrake menus plus utter junk too... Also the KDE Configuration Wizard doesn't work, it starts off at the first screen describing what it does, you hit next and you get a grey window with a finish button. Anyways that's all for now. -Gary Simmons On Sun, 30 Jul 2000, Christopher Molnar wrote: > I have just completed building a new kde 1.92 version.

[Cooker] gcc-gcj
I have ntoiced a problem with the gcj package... this problem occurs when
I compile gcj myself as well.
I wrote a simple hello world program, but gcj gives me the following
errors when i try to compile:
[darshu@midnight darshu]$ gcj -o hello hello.java
/usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I have attached the source code... the source works fine with any of the
java bytecode compilers, but simply not with gcj.
-Darshu
class hello
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}
[Cooker] Apache/Perl 5.6.0
Upgrading to Perl 5.6.0 broke my apache complaints seem to be about mod_perl actually... -Gary Simmons
[Cooker] Supermount an "unhide" on ISO9660
How can I get supermount to co-operate with the "unhide" mount operation on my CDROM? I need the option to see some hidden files on VFAT Joliet CDs. I can't figure out the syntax to add options directly to the filesystem in fstab with supermount. And although mount -o remount,unhide /mnt/cdrom looks like it works according to 'mount' it doesn't have the desired effect. -Gary Simmons
[Cooker] DHCP Configuration
The /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup script has a bug in it 117: if [ -n "$DHCP" ];then 118: echo -n "Determining IP information for $DEVICE via dhcpcd..." 119:if /sbin/dhcpcd -i $DEVICE -h $HOSTNAME ; then 120:echo " done." line #s are correct as of initscripts-4.72-10mdk Line 119 should be changed to remove the -i switch as instead of specifying the interface it specifies something called a vendorClassID. This change works fine and is required by all DHCP (cable modem) connections I have tested. -Gary Simmons
[Cooker] Crypto RPMS
Could we possibly get info on updates to the Crypto RPMS posted to the changelog list? And how about info on RPMS that get removed from the distrobution, I don't always watch rsync download and a notification that something has been deleted would be helpful. -Gary Simmons
[Cooker] mandrake_doc-en-0.2-4mdk.i586.rpm
There is a problem with the docs link on the [KDE] desktop. The page displayed is accessed at /usr/doc/mandrake/index.html ... since this file is actually a link to /usr/doc/mandrake/en/index.html (or I suppose whatever language you have installed) it is assumed that relative links in the HTML would go to there. They do not. All the links in the file point to the nonexistant /usr/doc/mandrake/001.html or whatever. I guess kfm and netscape simply do not resolve links properly. -Gary Simmons
[Cooker] kBeroFTPD
I know that kBeroFTPD has been removed from oxygen now. Someone had said that linuxconf can configure wu-ftpd graphically however it has very limited functionatlity compared to kBeroFTPD (i.e. no upload dir. configuration, etc.) I had removed kBeroFTPD as I had thought it was generating incompatible ftpaccess which would've been the cause of my problem of having anonymous users be able to upload but that has been fixed with the newest RPMS (which conflict BTW, both wu-ftpd-2.6.0-3mdk.i586.rpm and anonftp-2.8-5mdk.i586.rpm have /etc/ftpaccess that differ slightly and cause an error requiring --replacefiles on installation) Anyhow my point basically is that kBeroFTPD probably should stay in as it could provide users with a GUI alternative... unless there is a new version out "kwu-ftpd" perhaps?. -Gary Simmons
[Cooker] Problems with fsck
After updating oxygen to the current RPMS as of this time I have discovered that fsck after an unclean boot no longer works properly. When fsck tries to run on the root filesystem it says that it is already mounted and drops me to a root shell. So I ran fsck manually on all filesystems and rebooted. It still complains about root being mounted and drops me to a root shell everytime when checking if / is clean or dirty. I made a /fastboot for the time being to skip fsck but this is obviously a problem. -Gary Simmons

[Cooker] BeroFTPD
I noticed that Oxygen does not have a BeroFTPD RPM yet it has kBeroFTPD program for adminstering it... I grabbed a BeroFTPD RPM off of the Mandrake 6.1 distribution. Is there a reason it's not included in oxygen? -Gary Simmons
[Cooker] Another little RPM buglet
Another little problem here rusers-0.15-5mdk requires libproc.so.2.0.6 but no package provide it procps-2.0.6-4mdk.i586.rpm quite clearly does have libproc.so.2.0.6 in it but only shows up as providing libproc.so.2.0 I am inexperienced with anything to do with RPMS other than installing them but it seems that it's a quick little fix. -Gary Simmons
[Cooker] Detect 0.9.30?
Seems like a simple oversight here... [root@midnight RPMS]# rpm -F lothar-etherconfig-0.6.2-3mdk.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: detect >= 0.9.30 is needed by lothar-etherconfig-0.6.2-3mdk [root@midnight RPMS]# ls -al detect* -r--r--r-- 1 darshu darshu 103644 Dec 24 06:09 detect-0.9.29-4mdk.i586.rpm -r--r--r-- 1 darshu darshu 93083 Dec 24 06:09 detect-devel-0.9.29-4mdk.i586.rpm There is no detect-0.9.30 up accodring to rsync, so what's the scoop? messed up RPM or has detect-0.9.30 simply not been uploaded yet? -Gary Simmons
