[expert] One NIC or two?
I've got a question here. What if any are the advantages of using two NIC's On the firewall we run here (FreeBSD) we are only using a single NIC for both directions. To the network and to the Net. (and we run video conferencing video so traffic is heavy) As I see it adding a second NIC only serves to add latency to the net access. Unless your traffic volume exceeds 10 or 100 mbs in any one direction (depending on your net speed) the card even in half duplex mode should be more than able to handle the traffic. I've asked this question before in other groups and no one could give me an answer that held water. Thanks hope this isn't off topic if it is please ignore and I apologize. James Well, I changed the topic to something appropriate. Let's say that you use One NIC and give it two addresses... If it has only one address, I am sailing by any firewall you set up on that box, BSD or not, because that means all your machines have network addresses reachable from outside. If not--and you have two addresses on the card, one for local under the "experimental" addresses which are reserved from use on the internet, like 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 176.16.0.0-176.31.255.255 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 and the other a real internet address. This means incoming traffic from the internet is recognized and processed , then retransmitted on the same NIC to the local station if not filtered out. This is equivalent to having two NICs since you have the latency. In fact this rig is sometimes called the "poor man's router". I would hazard a guess that this is the configuration of your firewall. It is more secure than attaching the interface to the internet router through a hub and attaching the locals onto the same hub. Now if your "firewall" is on a hub with the local stations and the hub also connects to the internet router, then Mr. Aloysius Blackhat out on the internet figures out your local subnet and configures a similar subnet on his end--working a similar "firewall/router" combo, and into your subnet he comes with an EASY CRACK--he's just another one of the localhost folks. I don't see any of these configurations getting away from latency, which is rather unimportant at the speeds we speak of and easily resolved with a little buffering. The internet has plenty of logjams that will affect your setup far worse. Civileme

Umm Well, the menu system was _Changed_ in 7.1 and to handle it you need to go to the menu and select documentation and read what the user manual and the reference manual say about it... You need to throw new menu items into a subdirectory of /etc to make sure they aren't wiped by an update--and the graphic edit get sets up items that will be erased on each boot. You may notice that the menu looks the _same_ in all WMs now. This is a featureg. And it will be more fun in the next distro, I wager, because it is confusing many, and the features added will likely be enhanced to provide superior functionality. For now, we users just have to learn something new. Civileme

Oh and by the way my current router/firewall is an old 486 notebook with only one pcmcia slot. So for the moment a "new Nic" card would cost me a new box. *sigh* there are reasons for not using my linux/bsd development boxes as a firewall. Perhaps the best is that our boxes behind this firewall change almost daily. (people load new OS's move boxes to their homes etc etc constantly) New company, small income. Tiny firewall. Actually I was only musing about my own impending DSL line. For a second there I thought I might get away with just the 1 card that's already in the box. G

Re: [expert] Post-upgrade blues
Running imwheel is not the problem, just running it after root has. If I boot the GUI as root, it automatically runs imwheel (haven't found the specific location to make it stop that yet), and when I leave the windowmanager, it leaves the pid file in /tmp. With the pid file there, imwheel won't run again, because it is convinced it is already running. No matter, I've given up on 7.1 and downgraded back to 7.0-2. It works more reliably for me.

[expert] link failure
I am having problems linking applications using gcc. If I compile a source file as: gcc -O3 -c fin.o -o fin.c and then link as gcc -o financial fin.o everything works fine. If however, I compile as: gcc -g -c fin.c -o fin.o and then link exactly as above, I get the error message: undefined reference to 'pow' or undefined reference to 'log' Yes I have included math.h - there are NO CHANGES to the source file between the two compiles. - I ONLY executed "rm -f *.o" to force the rec-compilation and linking from the "Makefile" Is this a bug in gcc compiler, gcc linker, missing libraries (my guess) or what? Has this happened to anybody else? If so have you solved the problem? Does anybody know what is happening here or what I am doing wrong
[expert] kernel compile - rpm VC tar.gz
Hi, I am a relatively experienced linux user, who is used to compiling custom kernels using tarballs from ftp.kernal.xx.org. I have installed Mandrake 7.0 to have a look and would now like to customize the kernel. The bottom line is, I would prefer to go via the tarball route rather than rpm's, but I'd like to know a little more about Mandrake before deciding. I gather from the rpm names (kernel-2.2.16-4mdk.src.rpm and kernel-linus-2.2.16-2mdk.src.rpm) that there is some customization done by Mandrake to the pristine kernel sources. How much, and do any experienced users out there have a feel for how *well* ? Also, there is a guide on mandrake.org which suggests updating the "kernel-headers" rpm ... I can't find this for V7.0 Can I use kernel headers and source from (for example) V7.1 to update the kernel in V7.0 ? If not, do I need any more than kernel-2.2.16-4mdk.src.rpm to update V7.0 via the rpm route ? Anyone have any experience to share re upgrading via tarballs (P/PPro/PII/PIII optimization ?)

[expert] What happened in 7.1???
Wow, why are s many things that were right in 7.0x wrong in 7.1. First, let me start out by saying that I currently have a Dell Inspiron Laptop. Let me say that I ran Mandrake 7.0 previously and have recently reformated and installed 7.1. Problem 1: I have a 3Comm 10/100 Lan+Modem PC Card (3ccfem556). Now when I first installed 7.0 before, the device was discovered and configured automatically during the install sequence .. no problems. When I installed 7.1, the installer did not recognize nor automatically configure the card. When I tried to use the Ethernet Config utility, the card was not even on the list of supported cards and I could not get it to work. But, this card worked flawlessly with the previous version??? Why is this??? Problem 2: When the sound module is loaded during bootup (sounds card is a Maestro) the bootup will hang and not recover, I will have to manually reboot the computer. THis seems to happen about every other time I boot into Linux. Once again, I never encountered this problem with 7.0. Problem 3: I also use a MicroSoft Mouse Periodically that is connected via USB on my laptop. Again, when I installed 7.0 it was automatically deteced and I was able to use this device during an X-session. Now, when I install 7.1 the usb mouse support is very flakey, it does not always work. It almost seems as if the built in mouse in the laptop is causing conflicts. Once again though, I never encountered this probelm with Mandrake 7.0. Let me also say that I have talked to other people who have encountered these same problems so this is not an isolated case. If anyone has any suggestions or helpful comments they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks =) Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: [expert] link failure
If I compile a source file as: gcc -O3 -c fin.o -o fin.c everything works fine. If however, I compile as: gcc -g -c fin.c -o fin.o undefined reference to 'log' Easy, I think. I noticed this also in HPUX. Usually, things like sin() and log() are FUNCTIONS, stored in libm.so. But some optimizers convert them in inlined code, direct FPU op-codes or something similar. Debug mode forces using library-mode, and O3 mode optimizes some calls. This works only for some calls, say if you use sin(), you don't need libm in optimized mode, but you will need libm for j0 (bessel and so on) both in debug and optimized code.

For weeks I have been plagued with errors when trying to install Linux on my new machine with it's Adaptec 2940U2W and Seagate LVD drives.

Unfortunately, no one seemed able to determine the actual problem. Besides installing 7.1, I had also: * Installed an active terminator on the end of the SCSI chain, LVD side. * Set terminiation to "auto" on the adapter, both Ultra and Ultra2 sides. * Enabled "term power to SCSI chain" on BOTH of the LVD drives I had installed. * Enabled termination on the CDROM residing on the Narrow/Ultra side.

[expert] Make certificates
I've been going through a demonstration on how to set up an ecommerce web site with Apache, PHP4, MySQL, and OpenSSL. The documenation assumes that you are compiling all of the above from source. The instructions advise that when you are compiling Apache that you should run "make cerificates" to create your own certificate. Alas, the Apache RPM came installed when I installed Mandrake. My question is, can this be done with the RPM installation, or should I download the source and just generate a certifcate without actuall installing? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks... -Chris
[expert] KDM Problems
A weird thing happened tonight... As I was logging out of X, when X tried to restart itself in an infinite loop. I was finally able to kill it, but when I rebooted it would just hang when it tried to start the X server. I booted into runlevel 3, ran X, and X loaded fine. I exitted out, went into runlevel 5, it hung again. I powered off the machine, rebooted into runlevel 3, ran gdm, X started and everything worked fine. I logged out, ran kdm, and it hung. So I have narrowed it down to a problem with kdm, but for the life of me I can't remember what package its in (or what the command line syntax is to grep through it). Can someone please refresh my useless memory? Thanks... -Chris

Re: [expert] parallel Port CD Burner
I did. I'm really glad that I've got a built-in CD-RW now, 'cause it killed the machine, but it works just fine. Go to the parallel-port page for information; it's been a while and I'm sorta rusty on it now. (Basically the parallel port devices all run either SCSI or IDE over parallel, so you load some parallel-port modules to give you an IDE or SCSI device, and from there it's just like having one that's not on a paralle port, except that it's about 1/10 as fast so you'll be lucky if you can burn at 1x without underflow. (That was my problem--I couldn't burn more than about 1/5 of a CD before I underflowed; that was on a P-166 but it had a cruddy parallel port; with the right sort of fast parallel port it's supposed to work a lot better.)
