Basic Kernel Question

[Jay Kelly]

Hello All,
I keep running into a problem everytime I upgrade my kernel. Before I
upgrade I can place a floppy into the drive and type mount /dev/fd0 /floppy
with no errors. After the upgrade I do the same command I get an error about
needing to specifiy the file format. What am I missing when I upgrade my
kernel. Also I would like to add a basic firewall to just protect itself. I
dont need ipmasq I just want to close all ports except one. What will I need
to add to the kernel?
Thanks everybody

RE: Syslogd

[Jay Kelly]

Yeah after a few minute(maybe five at the most) the system boots fine. I did
recently change my ip on the bow so maybe I missed something for the DNS
name server thats casue it to hang now. I do notice that when I send or
receive mail on it its slow also. Oh yeah this box is a name server and mail
server. I will have to look into that more..
Thanks

Boot single user and attempt to start the daemon in debug mode from the
command line.  man syslogd for more info.

Startup hangs are very often DNS resolution timeouts.  What happens if
you give your system five or ten minutes to boot, does the hang clear?

SendMail Problem

[Jay Kelly]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello Group,
I have Sendmail running as a MX'ed mailserver. I had a problem with
sending mail out from a client with a error "relay-denied" amd I fix
it by adding the ip addresses of my clients. When I try to have mail
sent to me I am unable to reteive it. The maili never shows up an the
mailbox appears empty. I tried running sendmailconfig again and
noticed a error after completing the configuration.
Informatiom: ConfUSERDB_SPEC Soucre file not found /etc/mail/users
I tried touch /etc/mail/users and then put a users in /etc/mail/users
and ran sendmailconfig again. This time I had a error:
makemap: /etc/mail/users.db: line 1: no RHS for LHS neutec.

How can I add all my users to the sendmail userlist? I assume this is
why I am unable to receive mail for all my accounts. I cant even
receive mail if I mail from root to a user. What Have I missed?
Any help would be appreciated

IRQ conflict with soundcard

[Jay Kelly]

Hello all,
Im trying to get the soundcard to install. Im using kernel 2.2.16
and am installing a SoundBlaster 16. I have enabled the options in
the kernel and selested them as modules. I cat /proc/interrupts and it shows
the sound card on irq 7. Then I want to the isapnp.conf and remove the 
# from in front of irq 7. Then I ran isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf and it
came back with no errors. I then tried to reboot and then I see:
soundBlaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
SB 4.13 detected OK (220)
-- sb: Interrupt test on IRQ7 failed - Probable IRQ conflict.

So then I ran the cat /proc/interrupts and I didnt see any conflicts.
What am I missing here. I tried the mail archives and HOWTO but
was unable to find anything really usefull.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok group,
I want to add a sound card (SoundBlaster16) and want to make sure I

should I choose? My sound is a old Soundblaster 16 ISA card. And 
should I select module or build it in the kernel ? Last time I tried
to get the sound going I couldnt so any tips would be a great
help.

Running Samba as a PDC

[Jay Kelly]

Hello Group,
I have samba running as my Domain Controller and Im using Windows98
machines for clients and everything work fine. But I have ran into 
a small problem here. I want to name my domain something different
from my workgroup. Everything I have read says that the workgroup
name will be the domain name for windows users. So I have something 
like "neutec" for a workgroup andneutec for a domain name in
windows. So is there
any way to add a different name domain to samba without changing
the workgroup. If I change workgroup in the smb.conf to the 
domain I want, I can no longer see the samba server in Network
Niehorhood. Not a big deal but I would like to get it working.

Thanks Guys.

samba Passwords

[Jay Kelly]

Hello Group,
Well thanks to the list I got Samba working for the most part.
It seems I didnt have the smb.conf configured right. I have a shared 
directory that I can access fine but when I try to access the
/home/user directory I am promt for a password. I then enter
the password but it fails. I looked in the smbpasswd file but its
empty. So I tried "smbpasswd neutec" but after entering the pass I
receive an error that it failed to add it. So my first question is
how to add new users to Samba ? And I read somewhere that if I want to
share a CD-Rom I will need to add something to the fstab file. What
do I need to add there ? I cant find the man page on this. And for
my last question, Does anyone know where I can get some info on
setting up Samba as a Domain Controller?
Thanks again guys for all your help.

Kernel upgrade

[Jay Kelly]

Hello Group,
I decided to upgrade my kernel from 2.2.12 to 2.2.15 and ran into a 
problem. This is what Im doing.
I extract the kernel while im in the /usr/src/ directory. Then I 
made a directory /usr/src/linux-2.2.15 and then cd /usr/src/linux-2.2.15
and ln -s linux-2.2.15 linux.
After doing that I cd /usr/src/linux and run make menuconfig. That
seems to work fine and I save the kernel. After saving I use
make deb;make clean;make bzImage;make modules;make modules_install.
and that seems to compile fine. Now here is the problem.
I cd /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot  then
cp bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.15 but I get file or directory does not 
exist. Apparently the vmlinuz-2.2.15 isnt there. I can see the old
vmlinuz-2.2.12 but thats it. I have compiled many systems this way
before. Any idea's on what Im doing wrong? Im running potato if
that helps.
Thanks again

up my server for attacks? How much security will be lost doing this?

I am having the same problem here. I looked at ssh.temlates and didnt
find any errors as you stated in your previous post. Where else can I
look to fix this. I am getting the exact same error message.
Thanks

DPKG ERROR

[Jay Kelly]

Hello Group,
I was trying to install ssh and would get an error
 "E:  Sub-Process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).
So I thought to upgrade DPKG (oh yeah I was running slink
and upgraded to potato when this started to happen). Well
after trying tp upgrade dpkg I got the same error message.
No matter what I try to install with apt-get install I get
the same error message. How can I fix this? I have posted
some of the error message befare but I will resend some of 
them.
thanks group

Mounting Floppy

Hello Group,
When I try to mount my floppy I use '/dev/fd0 /floppy' and receive
'you must specify filesystem type'. I am running Potato with kernel

upgrading to Potato or upgrading my kernel? How do I mount the 
floppy now?

SSH

[Jay Kelly]

Hello Group,
I just installed ssh using apt-get install ssh and after it was installed
ssh says your identification has been saved in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key. Your
public key has been saved in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub. Now the question, in
the past I have used ssh_genkey command to generate my RSA key. if I do that
now should I delete all the other keys. I want to use Tera Team Pro on a
windows machine to connect via a secure shell. Everytime I try to connect
after copying the key over I still am not able to connect. I use genkey the
copy it over to authorize_keys and take the identity key to my windows
machine. So what are the steps needed to make this work?
Thanks

/dev/hda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY.

[Jay Kelly]

Hello Group,
I am having a problem getting my Potato box to boot. I just installed a Half
Life Game server and it has been working great all day. I tried to read my

filenames. So then I did a reboot and when it comes to checking /dev/hda1 I
get another error:
/dev/hda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY.
so how do I fix this? Was this coaused by Hale Life I installed? And how do
I run fsck?
Thanks guys

Fetchmail/exim will throw your mail away silently if you don't have
'localhost' in your local_domains.  I assume the same would happen if
sendmail didn't have 'localhost' in $=w (though I've never tested this).

What's in your /etc/mail/local-host-names file?

Lost Mail??

[Jay Kelly]

Hi All,
Is it possible to tell sendmail where to store new incoming mail. Im using
sendmail along with fetchmail and after my mail is retrieved from my isp, I
cant seem to find it. I use mutt to read my mail and have mutt looking in
/var/spool/mail/neutec but there is never any mail there. Fetchmail informs
me of receiving new mail so Im pretty sure its on my machine somewhere. Has
anyone ever had this and if so what needs to be changed to fix it?
Thanks Guys

Module error

[Jay Kelly]

Hello All,
I have just recompiled my kernel and after the compile I have a few module
dependencies errors(ERROR MESSAGE BELOW). Im using kernel 2.2.15 with
potato. What did I miss in the kernel setup. I selected DECchip Tulip
(dc21x4x) PCI support for my nic cards(which are working fine). For
Filesystems I selected MSDOS, UMDOS, VFAT, and ISO and for Network File
System I have selected NFS filesystem support, NFS server support and SMB
filesystem support. WHat did I miss. I have recompile a couple of time but I
get the same error. After selecting what options I want for the kernel I do:
make dep;make clean;make bzImage;make modules;make modules_install and then
of course copy it over and run lilo. Thanks for your help. If you need more
information please email me. Thank you again

Three Nic cards Not working

[Jay Kelly]

I have a question on network cards. Im wanting to add a third nic (eth2) to
my potato box. All three cards are using the tulip drivers. eth0 is a
Netgear eth1 is a Kingston and eth2 is a Linksys. When I any combination of
the two cards install they both work, but when I install the third it
detected a boot up but kills eth1 and eth 2. As soon as I remove eth 2 eth 1
begins to work. I assume its a memory or irq conflict but im not sure
because is detected at boot. Has anybody have any suggestions. I never did
this before and am at a loss.
Thanks Jay

Hello Im running Potato for a firewall with ipchains. I would like to

/sbin/ipchains -A input -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d $MY_IP 139 -p tcp -j REJECT

Why is this now working??

linux box to download mail from my ISP and store it until I log on. When I
use a program such as Outlook I use "mail.pacbell.net" for incoming mail and
"postoffice.pacbell.net" for outgoing mail. When I send a email I would like
it to say [EMAIL PROTECTED] Where will I put this information? Also where
do I setup my login and pass for my ISP so I can download mail. I have been
trying everything with no luck. I would really really appreciate if someone
would help me on this.

Compile problems

[Jay Kelly]

Can someone tell me the steps needed to compile a kernel. I am having
problems with Unresolved symbols. I first run 'make config' and select the
option I want. Then I use'make dep' 'make clean; after that I compile the
kernel with 'make bzImage' then I use 'make bzlilo; The 'make modules;make
modules_install'  and reboot. Evertime I get some kind of Unresolved symbol.
And help would be great..
Thanks

compile error

[Jay Kelly]

Hello All,
Quick question. When I compile my kernel 2.2.12 I use "make dep" the "make
clean" then "make bzimage or make bzdisk" and I receive an errror at the end
of the compile:

make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
as86 -0 -a -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s
make[1]: as86: Command not found
make[1]: *** [bboot.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [bzdisk] Error 2

So what do you guys think? The whole reason Im compiling is to remove an
error I have when boot with the modules and adding ip-masq.
Thanks Guys

Kernel compile problem

I am having problems with recompiling my kernel. I had kernel 2.2.12 and
recompiled it to thw same 2.2.12 but to include ip_masquerading. Now when I

Hello Guys,
I'm currently using Gnome and starting it with "startx" I changed the

or Xwindows. Any idea's how I can accomplish this?

It's probably trying to run 'gnome-session' and failing, since that
isn't installed.  'apt-get install gnome-session' will get you that,
for a kind of minimalist GNOME environment.  What you probably really
want to install is the 'task-gnome-desktop' package, which contains
nothing in and of itself but depends on the standard GNOME desktop
tools.  You also might want 'task-gnome-apps' or 'task-gnome-games'.
Looking at these packages in dselect (hit 'i' while that line is
selected) will show you what they depend on if you don't want to
install the task package but do want some of the other things.

Same deal, but it's gdm and not xdm.  I assume that you want to
manually start gdm after a console login; otherwise, something with
ordering 99 is as close to "after the machine is booted" as you can get.

On slink it's /etc/init.d/network, which is set up nicely
IFF you identify and configure your network card during
installation.  A fairly standard example is attached;
if you don't have one customise this one then place it
in /etc/init.d and run

# chmod a+rx /etc/init.d/network
# update-rc.d network start 40 S .

pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf

Once get the information from pnpdump, it should be at the end of each
device configuration set.

A note, you may have problems with isapnp say that there are fatel
irq, and io errors, even if you know that that address is not being
used.  To fix this, add (ACT N) at the beginning of each device
section.  Let me know if you have problems.

> 3) How do I make sure the isapnp is run at bootup?

If there is a working /etc/isapnp.conf, it will be used at bootup.
There is a script that runs it.  This is for sure for potato.  I can't
remember if this is true for slink.

Good Luck

Sound Question

[Jay Kelly]

I am trying to setup a SoundBlaster16 sound card, I have recomplied the
kernel for sound and pnp support. Now I see the howto is telling me to:

Use pnpdump to capture the possible settings for all your Plug and Play
devices, saving the result to the file /etc/isapnp.conf.
Choose settings for the sound card that do not conflict with any other
devices in your system and uncomment the appropriate lines in
/etc/isapnp.conf. Don't forget to uncomment the (ACT Y) command near the
end.
Make sure that isapnp is run when your system boots up, normally done by one
of the startup scripts. Reboot your system or run isapnp manually.

1) after using the 'pnpdump' how do I save it to the /etc/isapnp.conf.

2) Where do I uncomment the (ACT Y) command? I didnt see it.

3) How do I make sure the isapnp is run at bootup?

could you say _precisely_ what you have done (commands, output)?

the normal procedure to configure and compile a kernel is:
- download the kernel source
- cd /usr/src/linux
- "make menuconfig dep install modules modules_install"
or something similar.
