Re: samba or NFS mount
The samba server is designed to make a Unix server look like an NT server to WinTel boxes. The samba client (which is what you need) is used to "mount" WinTel shares on your Unix client. Haven't used it in a while but it was rather arcane a few years ago, but pretty easy to get the hang of. If you are running a GUI (and I assume you are if you are viewing spreadsheets) it should probably be pretty straightforward.

Re: w/c RAID on a SQL box
RAID 5. Easy to set up, fast, and reliable. Uses more disks, however. RAID 1 is, I believe, mirroring. With that, all info must be written to two different disks. With RAID 5, the disks are "striped" (not really, but I don't remember the real name for it) and part of each byte, with a checksum, goes on each disk. So, your disk writes are actually being written to multiple disks, so they are faster (in theory). And, if one disk fails, you can recover because the failed disk can be rebuilt fro the others.

The only files with non-zero length are dmesg, faillog, installer.log, lastlog, messages, setuid.changes syslog, wtmp and xferlog.

syslog not logging to files
Syslog is not logging to files. It simply displays the output on the active terminal. Funny thing is, it does record when I start and stop syslogd, and it still does its "marks". Attached is syslog.conf. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks Rod syslog.conf
Re: APC UPS-Pro 650 anyone ?
I tried using PowerChute but it is not set up for Debian. If I remember correctly, it makes some assumptions about the location and version of certain libraries that works only with RedHat, Suse and a few other releases. Same problem you had. I contacted APC and they will not support under Debian. Have you tried using apcupsd or upsd? These appear to work better. Again, I'm running from memory but I believe they were written by looking at the signals that come into the computer from the UPS since APC doesn't release the specs. To be honest, I have not had a chance to try them, but they come with very detailed documentation. You might have to wire your own cable, but I know that upsd supposedly works, although not with all the bells and whistles that powerchute has. FYI, APC continues to guard its communications specifications as proprietary information. In last months "Linux Journal" it was announced that TrippLite has released full spec's on their communications parameters, though visiting their web site I was not able to locate them. But, I'm thinking that my future purchases will be TrippLite. Rod > > Hi, im using PowerChute fromn APC.

sendmail or bind problems
I am running sendmail 8.9.3-23. I host several small web sites. One of my clients is sending mail and the receiving server denies it because it says "Relaying Denied," I assume because my client is coming from my mail server (tully.dailydatainc.com) but has their return address (brion-enterprises.com) in the "From" field. I am using one IP address for everyone. Any ideas? I can send the headers if necessary. Thanks, Rod -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: what'll make a good mysql server
Can't say for sure, but I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you "need all the speed you can get." Two stats for you. First, I have my accounting package on MySQL. Around 1M total, and it runs very nice on a 166 with 64M of memory and an IDE HDD. Second, I took some IIS logs from a client and put them into a MySQL database to run some stats. A little over 500,000 rows, I believe it was around 9M or so. On a 300Mhz machine, 64M DRAM, SCSI HDD, it ran unimaginably slow. Just remember that CPU speed is not nearly as important as your I/O and memory. Also, if inserts are slowing you down, look at your indicies and ensure you don't have any you can live without. Indicies are great for select statments, but they kill you on inserts and updates that update the keys. BTW, if you will ensure the buffers for the instance of MySQL are set higher than the standard install, it will speed your response times more than fancy new hardware or upgrades. Look at tuning the database before you spend a lot of money on hardware. You might find it is fast enough if you set aside a couple of meg for buffers and increase your threads, etc...

RAID 5
I am trying to get RAID 5 up and running under potato. I have four 4.5G SCSI drives (sda-sdd) that were originally set up as a RAID device on this same machine under RedHat. Now, I'm very confused as to whether to use raidtools or raidtools2. raidtools2 says I must patch the kernel, but I can find no patches for the 2.2.17 kernel that comes with potato. I actually hoped that the kernel was already patched since it came with the RAID 5 module. I have tried it with raidtools and raidtools5. I have the RAID 5 module installed. I get errors about "read_ahead not defined" in /proc/mdstat, and all four devices are listed but show they are not used. Have tried to make the raid device with raidtools and raidtools2. No luck. Not sure I'm doing the raidtools creation correctly, but have created /etc/raidtab from the samples, modified for my configuration. Any help is appreciated. Rod R. W. Rodolico Daily Data, Inc.

Re: How do I start | stop a daemon under debian
startup daemons are set up as follows: (usually) a script is created in /etc/init.d. As an example, MySQL is controlled by the script /etc/init.d/mysql A soft link is created from the run level directory that you want to start the daemon. These directories are /etc/rc0.d through /etc/rc6.d. There is also rcS.d. By convention, the link is named 'S' or 'K' (depending upon whether you are starting or killing the daemon) followed by a two digit number, followed by the name of the script in /etc/init.d. During the boot up process, these are processed in ASCII sort order, ie all ones beginning with a 'K' are processed first, in order of the two digit numbers after it. For example, you might create links in rc2.d, rc3.d, rc4.d and rc5.d to start MySQL. The following lines would do so: ln -s /etc/init.d/mysql /etc/rc2.d/S20mysql ln -s /etc/init.d/mysql /etc/rc3.d/S20mysql ln -s /etc/init.d/mysql /etc/rc4.d/S20mysql ln -s /etc/init.d/mysql /etc/rc5.d/S20mysql which would start MySQL whenever you entered those run levels. Since you want MySQL to shut down before the computer is shut off, you would add a "Kill" script to the appropriate run levels as follows: ln -s /etc/init.d/mysql /etc/rc0.d/K20mysql ln -s /etc/init.d/mysql /etc/rc1.d/K20mysql ln -s /etc/init.d/mysql /etc/rc6.d/K20mysql for a discussion of run levels, see the man page on init, ie type "man init" at the command line. Anyway, the scripts in init.d accept a parameter whose value tells the script what to do. The minimum should be to accept "start" and "stop" as parameters. Any link starting with a "K" calls the script with "stop", any link starting "S" callsthe script with a "start." That's how it works. To answer your question, simply remove the links from the rc?.d directory. Or, to temporarily disable a script, I will sometimes create a dummy script and save the original one. Such as: mv /etc/init.d/mysql /etc/init.d/mysql.original echo #! /bin/bash > /etc/init.d/mysql chmod 777 /etc/init.d/mysql in effect creating an empty script to be executed. Then, if I want MySQL back, I simply mv /etc/init.d/mysql.original /etc/init.d/mysql and it runs like it originally did. BTW, I'm not 100% on the run levels, but this explaination has worked for me so far. Rod > How do I start | stop a daemon under debian ? I have Debian 2.2 Potato.

Re: AMD Duron CPU & Debian
Just as an aside, I will use nothing but SMC EtherPower II 10/100 NIC's. More expensive than 3Com's, but they run on anything, they are faster than hell, and the Linux driver (epic 100) has been around for a long time. And, you don't have to worry if 3Com is going to get all sticky about releasing enough info to build a good module in the future. Far as I know, SMC has always published their spec's, or something as I remember using an SMC on an old 486 a few years ago and had the module to install it under Slackware. 3Com hacked me off when the 905 hit the scenes and no on could write a module for it because there was no tech info on it.

Fwd: Re: Virtual Addresses on new server Fixed
For your information if you are using the new kernel and virtual ip's (ip aliasing) Thanks to Brian Moore, I was able to get rid of invalid netmask/broadcast/etc as possible causes. Turns out the new setup for networking, using /etc/network/interfaces, does not add the host to the routing table. Therefor, each interface must have a separate "up" command to do this. The problem is now fixed due to A) correct network and broadcast numbers (thanks again) and B) by adding the line: up /sbin/route add -host 216.62.82.??? eth1:? in the /etc/network/interfaces file.

Now, the way these numbers work: IP number:216. 62. 82.121 Netmask: 255.255.255.248(binary 'and') -- Network: 216. 62. 82.120 That means that only the 'leftmost' bits are considered. Draw it out in binary (at least the last octet) and you'll see the magic. The broadcast (at least on modern systems -- there was a period of confusion in the olden days where broadcast was sometimes the "all 0's" host instead of the "all 1's") is the network with the "host" portion of the address set to 1's. To see the broadcast, invert the netmask to: 0.0.0.7 in this case (ie, the 0's become 1's) and do a binary 'or' with either the network (computed above) or a the host... ie, set the proper number of 'low' bits to 1.

Fwd: Re: Virtual Addresses on new server Fixed
For your information if you are using the new kernel and virtual ip's (ip aliasing) Thanks to Brian Moore, I was able to get rid of invalid netmask/broadcast/etc as possible causes. Turns out the new setup for networking, using /etc/network/interfaces, does not add the host to the routing table. Therefor, each interface must have a separate "up" command to do this. The problem is now fixed due to A) correct network and broadcast numbers (thanks again) and B) by adding the line: up /sbin/route add -host 216.62.82.??? eth1:? in the /etc/network/interfaces file. I've attached a copy of mine if anyone is planning to upgrade and uses virtual ip's Rod >X-From_: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed >Feb 21 16:27:53 2001 >Resent-Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2001 16:27:52 -0600 >X-Envelope-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 09:07:18 -0700 >From: brian moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: Virtual Addresses on new server >Mail-Followup-To: brian moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] >User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i >X-Uptime: 9:00am up 56 days, 18:55, 1 user, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 >X-Moon: The Moon is Waning Gibbous (81% of Full) >X-Fingerprint: 9934 9836 64C9 2B72 C4E7 A1A1 377F CE24 8832 2B51 >X-GPG: 1024D/88322B51 at http://www.cmc.net/~bem/bem.asc >X-Vile: yes >X-11: R6.3 >X-10: yes >Resent-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >X-Mailing-List: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archive/latest/4221 >X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Resent-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >On Sat, Aug 19, 2000 at 01:45:35AM -0500, R.

Virtual Addresses on new server
I have five IP's with my DSL (very, very small ISP). On my current server, I have all five working. However, when setting up a new server, two of the five are not visible. My range is 216.62.82.121 - 125, with 126 being the gateway. This is defined as the last three bits of the range, ie 0111 1xxx. I have set up a netmask of .248 ( 1000), and a broadcast of various values ranging from .7 ( 0111), .127 (0111 ), .135 (1000 0111). The addresses that work are 121-123 (0111 1001 - 0111 1011), ie I only get in trouble when the third bit is set (goes to 1). Any ideas? Obviously, I do not understand broadcast values as I have been playing around with them a lot (I also used .255 once). From what I've seen and read, I really don't think that is the problem, though. All these addresses work just fine on the old box ( 2.0.38 kernel ). I am having problems with potato ( 2.2.17 kernel) I have set ipchains to accept everything. I am attaching /etc/network/interfaces from the new box, and /etc/init.d/setvirtual from the old one. Note that the latter is something I kludged together. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: IDE RAID
The software RAID that comes with the 2.2 kernel does IDE and SCSI. Works pretty seamlessly. Only problem is, you must make sure the partitions are set correctly as it must load the drivers before it can use the RAID device. I usually put /home on a RAID and move my web sites, database, etc... over to /home.

Fwd: only POP3
I give individual accounts e-mail only access by giving them a standard e-mail account but setting their home directory and their login shell to /dev/null or /dev/false. So, an entry in the passwd file looks like this: user1:x:101:103::/dev/null:/dev/null Which gives them and e-mail account, but no other access. Rod Hi there! I have a short question: What's the way, if I would like to provide only e-mail service to the users? No telnet, ftp account, only POP3. It works with giving a fake shell in the passwd file, but how would you do it? Should I create definitely a shell account? thanx: aboy R. W. "Rod" Rodolico Daily Data, Inc.
