[expert-it] Due domande
Ho due domande da fare: 1) Come si fa a digitare il carattere " tilde " nella barra indirizzi di Netscape? In windows è sufficiente ALT+1+2+6 ma in linux non funziona !!! 2) Qualcuno ha già provato a spostare partizioni linux o a farne dei file immagine con Norton Ghost? Io ho provato con Drive Image ma sembra che abbia dei problemi con l' ext2. Grazie a chiunque vorrà rispondere Seba

[expert] IpChains problems in Mandrake 7.0
I am trying to configure a linux box to be a firewall / masqurading machine for access to the internet through a cable modem. eth0 is the external nic card (ip supplied by isp via dhcp), and eth1 is the internal network (using the 192.168.1.0 class C group). These are communicating properly. I have the firewall configured as follows echo "1" /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # clear all rules and start fresh /sbin/ipchains -F /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ # this prevents ICQ Time out problems /sbin/ipchains -M -S 7200 10 160 When I run the rc.firewall program, I get no errors. However, when I list the ipchains (ipchains -L), all of the above rules are listed under teh policy DENY, and I have NO access from a workstation (although I can 1-ping both the internal and external networks from the linux box, and 2- ping the linux box from any of the workstations) Suggestions ?? begin:vcard n:Brodie;Darcy x-mozilla-html:TRUE adr:;; version:2.1 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] x-mozilla-cpt:;-21408 fn:Darcy Brodie end:vcard

I dunno but I dislike linuxconf. Try to setup a self-made config (use the ipchains-HOWWTO or the TrinityOS docs) and put it under a name like rc.firewall and call it from rc.local.

Re: [expert] hard shutdowns
Hi Bruce, Civileme et al. I've just installed Mandrake 7.0 and found the same problem (with umounting file systems while shutting down). I'm not an expert [I barely make it as a newbie], but what I've found is that the problem is with my Floppy drive (and possibly CD drive if there is no CD in it). Before shutting down, I have to su login as root, umount the floppy and then it's okay. I've installed mandrake on my laptop and I'm the only user at the moment, so this is not a major problem (unless I forget -- which happens), but i guess I should find a neater solution. HTH. Dave OK 7.0 I have seen no problems here except I do remember someone's complaining about the shutdown trying to shutdown his computer and instead producing some interesting races of characters across his screen. I suggested he edit a file which was a symlink to another file and he did and the system kept reading the backup version of the symlinked script until he deleted it. SO next step is to check for any files in any of the subdirectories of /etc/rc.d that have a tilde (~) on the end. If there is one, something has been done with a script. After that, you might clue us in on what sort of filesystem you are running--processes and scripts take different paths for RAID for example.

[expert] Could my problems be Mandrake 7 security settings?
At 12:00 each night, my installation of Mandrake 7.02 makes a security check on all things. Sometimes it automatically changes ownership of files that it thinks are vulnerable or dangerous. Tonight at 12:00 it changed all my "Group Unowned Files" to "nogroup" and suddenly I get the error "alert: cannot start: unable to access queue directory" when I try to run the qmail rc file. So I manually make the directory accessible, then try to run ./rc again (from /var/qmail) and get this error: "alert: cannot start: unable to open mutex" Am I going to have to reinstall Mandrake with the lowest security setting to keep it from meddling in my qmail settings? What the heck is "mutex?" james

[expert] boot from raid
Hi, I'm setting up a RAID level 1 and I'd like to put the whole system on it. The raid how-to says "RedHat Linux 6.1 allows direct installation to a RAID device" /boot filesystem and all.

Is your CD-R a SCSI CD-R? I don't think so. It sounds to me like you have IDE SCSI emulation installed -- you need this to make your CD-R work in Linux. This is what is fooling XCDRoast into seeing your CD-R drive, and also the reason you can't mount it. You need to find exactly what block device the CD-R is appearing as. -Stephen-
[expert] Installing OpenSSH, Zlib, and OpenSSL
Hi List, I hope I am on the appropriate list for my questions, since they are regarding things other than installing Mandrake and configuring the desktop. I am very much wanting to utilize SSH, and have downloaded OpenSSH and the required Zlib, and OpenSSL. Before my embarking on this installation journey, I was wondering if anyone has OpenSSH running or knows if it will run under Mandrake Linux? What is the best location for installing all three of these programs? Is it best to have ones OpenSSH use PAM? Is the passphrase requester only required by GNOME? Also if you are as curious about your system as I am, don't bother trying to read /dev/urandom, it works GREAT though. :) Much thanks in advance, b/web Wade
[expert] Routing
Hello there! I ´m trying to configure a LAN router using linux with statics routes. The idea is to route between token ring an Fast-Ethernet subnets. My configuration is the following: 1 PC with two cards, one token ring card (IBM auto 16/4) and one fast ethernet (3com 3c905c). I installed Mandrake and loaded the corresponding modules without trouble. The card configuration is the following: route add 172.19.15.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 172.19.15.158 up (for eth0) route add 172.19.16.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 172.19.16.1 up (for tr0) I had also set: echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward The problem is that I can see from the ethernet subnet the token ring card of Linux, but only this card, not the rest of the machines under the token ring subnet, and viceversa, from token ring I receive an ICMP reply from the eth0 card of the Linux server but none of the machines under the ethernet subnet. Does it needs same parameter to make the internal routing between eth0 to tr0 and viceversa ?. Other problem is that when I configure the tr0 card, I try to set a mask of 255/24 but it doen´t take this parameter because when I check it whith ifconfig i get a mask of 255/16. Any idea ?, ..with eth0 I don´t have any problem related like this one. Thanks in advance for some help. Jorge Carminati.

RE: [expert] Firewall Rules
I have these scripts for a basic firewall that will set ipchains to
block all icmp's, open basic services, and open high ports as you need them.
Also when a port scan is preformed it will show all 65,000 ports as open.
You will have to edit the files to show your eth configs, but I
tried to make it painless. Also included is a flush script that will flush
all ipchains settings.

Before shutting down, I have to su login as root, umount the floppy and then it's okay. I've installed mandrake on my laptop and I'm the only user at the moment, so this is not a major problem (unless I forget -- which happens), but i guess I should find a neater solution. HTH. Dave The "neater" solution is to edit the shutdown scripts to call supermount disable once they get to superusr equivalence. and put supermount enable in /etc/rc.local If you are also using these commands on the fly, and you want the current setting to be restored next boot, you would need to set up an "if" to test whether supermount is enabled during shutdown and if it is then echo a 1 to a /tmp/. file to test next boot to reenable rather than the brute force method I just described. It all depends on how elegant you want to be. My own "neat solution" is a huge UPS and keeping my paws off the shutdown button unless I am swapping hardware.

[expert] Problems running BigBrother on Mandrake 7.0 as non-root
Hi all, I am having difficulty getting BigBrother to run on Mandrake 7.0. The issues is with the ps command. BigBrother uses this to monitor specific procs. Under other OS's executing ps ax as a normal user returns other users processes. There seems to be a difference on Mandrake as ps only shows the users processes. This appears to be related to the permissions on /proc which do not allow world read. So my question is how do I change the way ps works, or the permissions on /proc Thanks in advance Dave Cramer

Re: [expert] My complaints about MDK 7.0
I urge all the list members with complaints to take it to Mandrake! The purpose of this list isn't to trash our developers but to help users who need it. Telling the list that this, that and something else doesn't suit *you* defeats the reason Mandrake has a bug report. It is possible, after all, that other users do NOT have your problems with your system. Mandrake developers rock! They give us the hottest, latest bleeding edge technology available. Please, let's support them. Of course if you do not want a Expert users list, that is up to the list. Pj [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [expert] KDE taskbar menubar vanish after screensaver kicks in?
I have a similar(?) problem - instead of vanishing, the menubar get "fuzzy". This will occur after the screensaver, and also sometimes after hiding. It can be cleared up with a screen refresh, but once it happens it will recur every time the bar is hidden.

The issues is with the ps command. BigBrother uses this to monitor specific procs. Under other OS's executing ps ax as a normal user returns other users processes. There seems to be a difference on Mandrake as ps only shows the users processes. This appears to be related to the permissions on /proc which do not allow world read. So my question is how do I change the way ps works, or the permissions on /proc On other versions of Linux you are probably not running the "secure" kernel patch, as I'm assuming you are on Mandrake. If you lower the security level ov Mandrake (or probably just use some stock kernel source) then Big Brother should begin to function the way you want it to.

I've had some similar problems a long time ago, but they stopped when I learned how to exit programs properly. Sometimes I think ss problems are linked to how much memory I have. When I was running 64EDO ram I always had problems trying to run *fancy* ss, but when I increased ram and changed the type those problems disappeared. Just my thoughts on screensavers..

[expert] PPP troubles
Hi. I've been running Mandrake 7.0 on my laptop and a couple of machines here at work for a few months. But I tried upgrading my desktop machine at home from RH5.2 to MDK7.0 last weekend, and am dead in the water on PPP connectivity (been using it daily for 4 years on various versions of RH, but I haven't had to reconfigure for maybe two years). I did a clean install, and I am starting from scratch on configuration for PPP. Seems to be OK, but the symptom is that ping and DNS work just fine across the interface, but every other protocol I've tried (ftp, ssh, http, ...) sends packets out but never get anything back (according to tcpdump -i ppp0). I have some indication that packets come back occasionally from the machines I'm targeting, but never very quickly and never the right ones. The only difference from my old hardware configuration is that I've installed and configured a PCI ethernet card for a LAN. The ppp log does report some negotiation rejections when connecting, but eventually times out and quiets down. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I saw a thread from a year ago on the mailing list which mentioned identical symptoms, but it didn't mention the solution. I *know* it is something simple, but I'm just missing it. I can send lots of details if that would help. TIA - Thomas -- Thomas Lockhart Caltech/JPL Interferometry Systems and Technology
