Re: Error on harddrive when booting
Sorry, no help on the Compaq, just an idea on how to bypass pressing the "F1". Maybe you can set your BIOS to boot ignoring all errors or whatever. I had a similar problem on an older 486 but it had the ability to boot through selectable errors in the BIOS, like no keyboard, whatever. It didn't "fix" the problem but it would just report the error to the console and boot right up. You may be able to do something similar on the CompaQ. Tom >I've got a problem.

Re: inittab weirdness?
Jeremy and Russell; Thanks for more pieces of the puzzle. The offending code is actually in /etc/pcmcia/serial. the chattr +i /etc/inittab command nuked the behaviour but I'll edit that script to fix it when I get to the console on the laptop The relevant lines in /etc/pcmcia/serial: echo "S$NR:12345:respawn:$INITTAB $DEVICE" >> /etc/inittab fgrep -v $DEVICE /etc/inittab > /etc/inittab.new mv /etc/inittab.new /etc/inittab Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions, tips and pointers. And in case no one realized it the command in an earlier post "for i in `find /dir`; do ls -l &&cat $i|grep string;done" was a tongue in cheek joke, but it would find the string and the file its in. Thats the coolest thing about the Linux command line tools. Being able to obtain the same results by varying methods. Thanks again.

Re: inittab weirdness?
List; Well, I have not totally figured out how this is happening. What I do know is that /etc/inittab gets altered when the /etc/init.d/pcmcia script is run. After a bit of looking around in that file, I realized my skill is not refined enough to see what mechanism actually alters it. But it definitely happens at that point. Just FYI Thanks Tom

followup: inittab weirdness?
List; In regards to /etc/inittab being altered to spawn a getty on ttyS3 on reboot. Tried the egrep -r (through the entire filesystem) and ttyS3 shows up in /dev/mem, /dev/core, /dev/kmem/, /etc/inittab and in /var/run/stab, some docs,/usr/include/asm/serial.h and in the logs. Thanks for the tip, Chet! Much cleaner than "for i in `find /dir`; do ls -l &&cat $i|grep ttyS0;done" I am leaning towards it being PCMCIA related as one other person on the list noted the same thing on a laptop.

Re: whois *server*?
.. >A search around failed to turn up an obvious whois server, either as part >of Debian or even just source code - did I miss something? .. Neale; I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I modified the finger gateway cgi script to do a web based whois from cgi-bin on the webserver. The finger gateway script came in the cgi scripts with Debian. I just changed finger to whois. seems to work well. Here it is: <---begin script--> #!/bin/sh # I don't know who wrote the "finger gateway" script I hacked this from WHOIS=/usr/bin/whois echo Content-type: text/html echo if [ -x $WHOIS ]; then if [ $# = 0 ]; then cat << EOM WHOIS Gateway Whois Gateway This is a gateway to "whois". Type a domain name in your browser's search dialog. EOM else echo \ $WHOIS "$*" echo \ fi else echo Cannot find whois on this system. fi cat << EOM EOM <--end script-->

Re: System clock
Is this what you need? mail:~# /usr/sbin/rdate time.nist.gov Sat Apr 8 16:02:16 2000 is how I sync my clock(s). Actually I sync one that way and the rest sync off of that one. I am in the Midwest in the USA and system time gets synced with that command. I just realized noone else tossed this out as a solution. Be aware that a drastic change in system time might cause some strange crond activity following a sync. $.02 Tom
Re: Webserver stats for customers
I use webalizer with crond and a script that calls seperate config files for each domain. Like this: webalizer -c domain.a.conf webalizer -c domain.b.conf webalizer -c domain.c.conf and so on. Then use custom configs for each domain. I will note each domain needs its own logfile but you should be doing that anyway. Maybe not the best or most elegant method but it works for me. I am doing it this way with about a dozen domains. Tom

?? about tcpdump output..
Greetings, list;
I have been seeing this output from tcpdump on eth0 on one of my machines.
2.0.37 kernel,eth0:(ISA) NE2000, Debian 2.1 (Slink) current with
upgrades.
21:57:07.372776 0:50:54:98:e1:36 0:50:54:98:e1:36 loopback 60:

and on and on every 10 seconds or so.
I never noticed this before now it concerns me. I have another, very much
the same box (HW & OS) that does not show this output.
Is this normal or is something amiss?
TIA
