Vincent, can you send me your httpd.conf and the files that you are having
problem with? It's really a strange bug, it must be such a small minor

Do this...go look and make SURE you don't have to add any extra software for it to work under Windows. Have you tried dialing out from a plain, F8 boot? (i.e. at the boot prompt, hit your F8 key to NOT load *any* drivers.) I'm not sure how you'd do this with LILO. Maybe just have a generic Dos / Windows boot floppy with command.com on it and boot off that? Anyway, once you've gotten to a no-drivers-loaded boot, type "echo atdt[some-phone] >comX" (where X=com port of your alleged modem.)

Re: [expert] vmware and cable modem IP assignment
You only have one ip address through your cable modem. Therefore, you can't use 2 ip addresses on your machine that are in the same ip addressing scheme as the cable modem ip address. Enable masquerading, and give yourself a 10.0.0.x or a 172.16.1.x or a 192.168.1.x address pool. Then enable IPV4 forwarding and IP masquerading. You will be using your linux box as a firewall/NAT translator, and it should allow you to surf the net from both vmware and linux simultaneously. bug On Mon, 17 Apr 2000, Daniel Woods wrote: > > I am not getting much help on this from vmware folks.

[expert] vmware and cable modem IP assignment
I am not getting much help on this from vmware folks. Although someone here might have run into the same problem given all this talk with private network and IP Masq. I have VMware working fine at work such that I can open up a linux or win9x guest OS and either of them *and* the host can access network functions (telnet, browser). This is most likely because DHCP allows me to have more than one IP assigned. However at home with my cable modem ISP only allowing *one* IP, it seems that when I use a guest OS, the host is frozen out of any network ability... and vice versa. The cable modem is currently hooked up directly to my PC with no IP masquing. The guest does appear to receive a new DHCP generated IP from the ISP which is different than that of the host. Is the problem indeed because of the ISP's DHCP allocation. Is there not a way for me to make the guest OS be given private IP numbers ? Once I were to setup IP masquing, would this then allow VMware to generate private IPs for the guest OS as well ? Thanks... Dan.
Re: [expert] OT: Perfect operating system

You had to press 'halt' then 'run' then 'load'.

I've seen it compared to gpm, but gpm is not a login manager either, because neither needs to run to login, as far as I'm aware. The only thing I recall about gpm is that it allows the use of the mouse in non X login, but doesn't prevent a person from logging in if neither is present. kdm is what was said to be used if using kde, which is a window manager and desktop. mike

OK... so the 786 is the PII and the 886 is the PIII. If the 586 is the original Pentium, where does the 686 come in? Is that the MMX-enabled series?

I specifically changed the order from the default (which is, of course, a Win-pseudo-modem) and they charged me for a real modem; the documentation (such as it is) also looks like it belongs to a real USRobotics/3COM modem. As I understand it, the modem gets configured to IRQ 10 during power-on by the PCI gubbins, so there's no way to control that. And it really does work perfectly without the network card in there; my understanding is that a WinModem wouldn't be accessible at all, since there wouldn't be a driver for it anywhere in the system.

Re: [expert] Samba Printing
By default (i.e., you don't choose any filter for the samba printer), printtool will use /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/smbprint, which uses smbclient to connect to the remote samba printer. You may need to debug this file a little bit to see if it does communicate well with the windows printer. Moreover, if you want to print ps file to the windows printer (which usually cannot print ps files), you also need to add some gs command before you send the file to the samba printer. On the other hand, if you choose your own filter, you need to add the smbclient command to the filter file (usually, ps-to-printer.fpi). For example, following is the modification I made to my ps-to-printer.fpi ( under /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/) file in order to print to my Epson Stylus 860 attached to Windown NT: . elif [ "$GSDEVICE" = "uniprint" ]; then echo "enter upp">>/tmp/print.log # Set default *.upp driver (your default printer upp driver here) if [ "$COLOR" = "" ]; then COLOR="stcany" echo "No filename for parameters given.

hi Ron and the mandrake-linux-community, have resolved the problem : rpc:program not registered portmap, nfs-utils and nfs-utils-clients was succesfully installed during update and/or install-process. But one of the bad bags, which has happend, was : nfs have been deactivated during installation/updateprocess. Sometimes the world is soo simpel - isn't it ? So the only thing I had to do after trying of about 2 or 3 times to reinstall portmap, nfs-utils and nfs-utils-clients with no success. Anyway, thanks to all for helping me and don't give away your joy on linux. By the way : there is nothing, which cannot be resolved with our great linux.

Hence, regardless of whether a symlink like this did work, it shouldn't be used for this purpose, imo. mike

But when trying to access the floppy, I > get a message Could not list directory contents. Is this floppy some > format that cannot be read by Mandrake? I don't think that Mandrake should have any problems listing the contents of the disk. Have you tried listing the contents from a dos boot, like into Win9x or NT? If you can list the contents there, then you can definitely list the contents with Linux, but the mount definition may need to be changed to specify the correct filesystem type. To check the latter, you can try mounting the floppy to ext2 and to vfat, if ext2 fails. If both of these fail, then haven't a clue. mount -vt vfat /dev/fd0H1440 /mnt/floppy mount -vt ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy mount -vt vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy You could use /mnt/a:, instead of /mnt/floppy. Doesn't matter, as long as the /mnt mount point isn't already mounted. The only time this can otherwise matter is if you try to mount without specifying the -t option and argument. If none of these mounts works, then haven't a clue. If any of these mounts works and you can't list the contents of the floppy disk, then haven't a clue. On the other hand, the above is based on the assumption that you're trying to list the contents of a Linux boot floppy, which should be listable. As for large disks, you might find some useful information through the LDP http://www.linuxdoc.org Check through the list of HOWTOs. You should find one on using Large Disks. Don't know if it'll contain the answer to your problems, but you should read the howto anyway. mike
Re: [expert] Frontpage extensions
John, Can you lend a hand, please? Scott runs Apache under FreeBSD. I don't understand *serverspeak*. Scott is paraplegic so physical tinkering with the sys is not possible by him. I asked him if he would dump FP if there was a viable workaround. He said in a second if the solution was compatible and secure. As far as I understand SSI (not much) he does use CGI-bin. Scott is a terrific guy that works very hard to give clients the best possible service and still keep the server secure. Apparently, it is a neverending task. Anything information, or anything you have time to do will be deeply appreciated by me. Scott too. Thanks for your time and consideration, Pj

This may have been through a user choice made during the installation process, or the default the Mandrake distribution which was installed. To an unknowing user, this could cause startx to look like it gives kdm or kde as the default. Only by reading documentation on this does a person realize that startx only gives or brings up what it's instructed to do so, through configuration files, e.g. ~/.Xclients. Without reading the documentation on this process, many newbies to X and the wm's can easily think that startx is to "blame". startx is a "front-end" and depends on configuration files, to know what to do. To learn about startx and configuring which wm's to use or have a choice of, people need to read the documentation on this, or wait until someone repeats it. True, startx doesn't decide what wm is to be used, but it can seem like it does for people who don't know what's actually going on. mike

Orlando Lewis wrote: > Where can I find the following dependencies and/or what packages do they > come with? I am using RH 6.1 > > libstdc++_libc6.1-2.so.0 > libcrypto.so.0 > > TIA That's a good question as far I'm concerned, because I'm also getting problems due to these as well as others, like libc.so.6. I have a symbolic link libc.so.6 to some libc.so.2.0.7 file, or something like that, but either this file isn't the correct version, although it looks like it should be, because the libc.so.6 messages always say either "(GLIBC_2.0)" or "(GLIBC_2.1)", and 2.0.7 is greater than 2.0. However, I read something yesterday saying that libc* packages should be removed, only leaving glibc* packages, but the documentation I've found on this, so far, doesn't cover this much more than this, and I'm a little concerned about removing the libc.5.4.* package until more thorough documentation is found, or someone can answer the question based on real experience. I'm also getting problems with libm, libl, and others, as well as libstdc++-libc6* and libcrypto*. I've searched considerably for the answer, but haven't found anything more than removing libc* and something very vague about symbolic links being wrong and needing redefinition, or the files being copied to the correct directory, and resinstalling some package(s). Haven't found any clear documentation on this and if I do anything of what I've found so far, then it'ld be by using very vague guidelines, so vague it leaves me wondering if who ever wrote the documentation is sure of what he or she is saying, or maybe it's just that they don't like to write, or can't translate experience or knowledge into writing, or don't want to because they wouldn't be getting paid. What ever the reason, I haven't found any documentation leaving me feeling reasonably confident; only leaving me feeling like I'm going by some person's ideas, while it being really, only trial and error kind of testing. However, one piece of documentation I came across yesterday said that this kind of problem is easier to avoid by avoiding RPMS and instead using .tar.gz downloads, and then running configure, make and install. Actually, this is the same piece of documentation first referred to, above. It said that RPMs are supposedly, considerably unreliable in this way, whereas downloading .tar.gz archives is considerably more reliable. Of course, one could always try these guidelines, or installing RPMs using the --nodeps (skip dependency checking) option, but I wouldn't do this without first backing up the system. On the other hand, it may not be necessary to backup the system, because if the --nodeps allows package installation and then apps don't work, then the package(s) can probably be removed without any problems. I don't know installation of RPMs well enough to be able to say this for sure, though. That's what I've found on this kind of topic, so far. The first referenced piece of documentation is in the Software Building HOWTO, which can be found through the LDP. I found it in the html HOWTOs, there. http://www.linuxdoc.org mike

RE: [expert] setting eth1 to 10mb
I haven't followed all your thread, but check the following Cable length: no segment over 300 feet (for UTP 10/100baseT cabling) or over 600 feet for 10base2 cabling (coax or thinnet). Remember the 543 Ethernet rule (max 5 segments, max 4 repeaters (hubs and media converters are repeaters too), max 3 populated segments). If you still have collisions you must suspect a bum hub (cheap hubs are notorious for collisions and other timing problems, I throw out about 20 cheap hubs a year). Only a packet analyzer will reveal the cause if this is the case. If you use one of the packet analyzers for Linux, be aware that only certain NIC cards support true promiscuous mode. You can also suspect a bum NIC card. It is common for a NIC to have a weak transceiver. Again, a packet analyzer would help. -Original Message- From: Ronald J.

I have not set this up yet, however I don't have a "Comp A" (yet). Right now Comp B (mdk6.1 - development machine) and Comp C (win98 - kids machine) will be hooked up to my new 100 Mps *switch*, and the modem downloads at up to 7 Mps (2 Mps upload - so they say). What is the recommended minimum speed/memory for Comp A ? Is a P75/90 with 64 MB enough ? Will this affect the speed noticed by Comp B and C when using the internet ? Does any of this not matter as long as Comp A's network card is at least 10 Mps ? If I wanted to have a web server running (or ftp, mail, news), can it be on Comp B instead of Comp A ? I know the ISPs don't like this. I take it that Comp A would have to have some kind of proxy server to forward the request to the private web server on Comp B. If I started to get many web hits, would the speed and memory of Comp A affect users, or is it affected by the speed of Comp B ? Does opening up Comp B's port 80 (web) create a security risk (or is it if you use a proxy server - recommendations) ? Any other pointers are greatly appreciated. I've been learning a lot about Linux from this list, even though I have over 10 years of Unix experience. Thanks... Dan.

[expert] apache help needed!!!
I'm having some serious problems with apache and they just started
today...
In my error_log file I keep getting:
httpd: exec of /bin/sh failed, reason: Permission denied (errno = 13)
In a SSI file (banner.shtml). It won't run any of my other CGI scripts
either, nor will PHP include statements work either. Does anyone know
what might be going on here? It was all working yesterday and now it
isn't and I haven't touched anything. I'm extremely confused as to why
this won't work!
For the PHP3 includes, if it's a local file
(ie. include("/home/httpd/html/text/footer.txt");) it works fine, but if
it's something like include("http://bla.bla/whatever.php3"); it doesn't
work anymore. I'm seriously confused here. I think it's a permission
problem, but I don't understand why it hasn't happened before
then. Everything is owned by root.root and the pages come up ok if I view
them by themselves, but as includes they don't work anymore.
I'm using the latest AES RPMs. Help!

At the risk of going further off topic:
BCPL was created c1965 by Martin Richards as an implementable subset
of Strachey's CPL.
B was essentially BCPL with {} for the block delimiters instead of $(
and $) (ASCII was fairly uncommon in 1965).
C was derived from B by Dennis Ritchie for the reimplementation of
Unix c1971.

The original Unix (spelled Unics BTW) was developed by Ken

And I can recall a benchmark of a dual CPU Multics system with c1MB
supporting 200 users. Compare to today's Unices Multics was a resource

[expert] Network card causes modem to disappear
I've tried to post this several times already over the course of the past few days, but I have seen nothing appear on the reflector. Haven't received any bounce messages either, so I don't know where the messages think they've been going. Anyway, apologies if you've seen this before. - A nasty problem 1. Running Mandrake 7.0 without any fancy modifications on a 733 MHz Micron box. 2. I can access the modem just fine (e.g. for PPP, etc.) The modem is on ttyS4 (COM5). [ Don't ask me, that's the way it came in WinDo$e, so I put it on ttyS4 for Linux. ] I have /dev/modem soft linked to /dev/ttyS4. 3. I add a Linksys Ether PCI II card (no other NICs in the box). 4. Suddenly I can no longer access the modem. At all. In any program. kppp, for example, says "searching for modem" and then "modem is busy". Even statserial doesn't work (complains about TIOCMGET not being supported, although of course it works fine when the network card is not in the box). 5. If I take the card out, I can access the modem again. 6. Even if I tell Kudzu not to configure the network card at boot time (i.e. the third option of the three that are presented), I STILL can't get to the modem if the network card is phsically inserted in a slot. 7. The really bad news is that everything works fine under WinDo$e. Actually, I suppose that's not really so bad, because it at least indicates that there's no fundamental hardware problem. So, any ideas as to how I might be able to have a network and a modem at the same time would be most welcome. Or even how to diagnose the problem. Oh, some extra info: The modem is on IRQ 10, and the network card is on IRQ5. The I/O addresses are also nicely different. And the network card appears to work OK (although I haven't "torture-tested" it, having been too busy trying to figure out why I don't have a modem any more). I have a separate serial port on COM1 (on the motherboard). It works fine regardless of whether the network card is in place. Doc Evans -- D.R.

Aside from the general niceness of complying with the traffic rules of the Internet, there is another reason to use one of the experimental networks. Suppose for a moment you used 15.0.0.0, which happens also to be HP's Class A network. Packets from your network addressed to any of HP's machines would never leave your network. This would make it difficult for you to send email to someone at HP. It would also leave you open to violating a fundamental rule of the Internet: no two machines may ever have the same IP address. Violating this rule will 1) have one or more sysadmins elsewhere on the net very annoyed at you, and 2) give both you and those sysadmins fits trying to diagnose various mysterious problems.

Undocumented, alas. I found some documentation yesterday which gave such examples and I believe that was in the LDP web site. This means that it's documented, except not locally. However, people can mirror the LDP, or download it, or copy it, to have it accessible locally, instead of always needing to hook up to the internet to get to the LDP. Wasn't sure how much I'ld use the documentation, but copied it to my local /usr/doc directory, organized the documentation by categorizing into directories to speed up searches, and it's been useful. Now, I just bring up kfm, as long as I'm using kde, and browse, locally. The only potential problem with that is needing to check once in a while to see if documentation has been added or changed, but most of the documentation is dated, which helps to make the checking fairly quick to do. I agree that it's quicker to use the extra option with tar, and that it may be more useful the way you described. I just haven't had the need to bother, and also wonder if the option is also available with tar on Unix, like Sun, ... One can always try and if it doesn't work, then read the man page, but what if it works, but does something different? Am not sure and I don't have a Unix system available to check. Just some thoughts; although, I don't think they'ld change the meaning or effect of an option for a Unix command, for this reason. The other aspect of copying the LDP and such documentation locally is (besides making sure not to infringe upon copyrights) creating a script or tool to provide one fairly consistent user interface and which searches man pages, info, and all other local documentation files, to locate documentation. This would create one integrated documentation search and display user interface, albeit the various types of documentation would be presented according to what ever tool or type of tool is otherwise used to view the documentation when it's accessed more directly, or directly. I have most of such a script already completed, but presently have higher priorities and need to create a gui front end, before this tool is finished. Also, maybe there already is such a tool, but I'm not aware of one; therefore, this tool is agenda'd, among other things which are also deferred due to higher or more urgent priorities. Without a tool like this, a user must try man, info, and if these fail, then bring up a browser, or use rgrep, to search through the many HOWTOs, FAQs, and other copied documentation. One integrated u.i. seems like a nicer approach. Then, whether people copy documentation from the internet or not, is up to each to choose. Documentation is definitely nice to have, especially up to date documentation, and free documentation puts icing on the cake. mike
