[expert] Linuxconf Problem
This is a problem with Linuxconf on Mandrake 6.1, so with any luck it has already been repaired. I installed the dhcp server on my system, and everything appeard to run fine. Then I found myself rebooting from time to time, and noticed that, while the Sys V startup sequence said dhcpd started sucessfully, it was DOA after I had booted. H So I checked in /var/log/messages, and found out that linuxconf was shutting it down so that it could start it up with its own, incorrect, configuration. Which, of course, failed. I never did like Linuxconf, as it seems to have been written by a bunch of Redmondians with a "we're from Linuxconf and we know more about what you are doing than you do". Linuxconf appears to Windoz-ize my computer, i.e. take it over and do strange things I didn't want it to do. OK, fine, I found the place in Linuxconf where apparently you can diable Linuxconf's control over dhcpd, and tried do disable it. No go, Linuxconf was still killing off a sucessfully running daemon. So I said, screw it, and took Linuxconf out of my Sys V init, for all run levels. Now dhcpd starts at, and continues to run, after boot. Anyway, the Mandrake gurus might want to check to see if Linuxconf still has this bug, and if so report it to the authors of Linuxconf. I've never liked Linuxconf, and will probably kill it off and put webmin on or continue to administer my system the old fashioned way, with emacs and kill. -- -- C^2 No windows were crashed in the making of this email.

Re: [expert] X configuration still a pain in the ....
I've changed monitors several times due to demoing linux in different places. I use linuxconf to set the boot mode to 3 then when I start linux with the new monitor, I run xf86config from the console. When I have X running with startx they way I want, I use linuxconf to reset the boot mode back to 5, and I'm ready for the next demo. If I',m going to be using this monitor for demos at another date I save my config file with a name that IDs the location, then rename my original config file back and I'm ready for home use again.

It was me Charles During boot just after the kernel is uncompressed and the system checks your drives you will see the Line "Welcome to Linux-Mandrake. Enter [I] for Interactive Startup" You will then see a listings of processes as they are being started with the notation of either OK or failed. I thnk of it as the OK screen, at any rate as soon as you see this message enter shift I and you will go into interactive startup and you will have to answer Y(yes) or N (no) as to wheather to start each process. Just enter Y for each one untill you come to X and then enter N. When you get to the login promt login as root and you should be able to reconfigure X and enable it to autostart. It does work .

I try to avoid booting into a graphical login...I have seen it cause too many problems, one of which is what you're describing. When you change monitors, it is easiest to log into a terminal (init 3) and vi the /etc/X11/XF86Config (or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4) file(s) to reflect the new monitor's horz/vert frequency ranges. Save the chagnes and then startx. MDK has never configured my monitor(s) correctly, and I have always had to do this before running X.

[expert] Problem with tcsh init files
I'm having trouble using the tcsh shell. Specifically, the
shell init files have been giving me errors. I tried playing
around with them, but haven't had much luck. I'm used to these
files being in csh syntax, but the ones in the Mandrake
installation seem to be in bash format, and that seems to be a
part of my confusion.
To be more specific, I am currently getting these errors on
login which come from my /etc/csh.login file:
id: Command not found.
id: Command not found.
id: Command not found.
[: Command not found.
test: Command not found.
This is the /etc/csh.cshrc file:
# /etc/cshrc
#
# csh configuration for all shell invocations. Currently, a prompt.
[ "`id -u`" = "0" ] && limit coredumpsize 1000
if ($?prompt) then
if ($?tcsh) then
set prompt='%n:%~ \!> '
else
set prompt=\[`id -nu`@`hostname -s`\]\$\
endif
endif
if (! $?LOGIN_READ) then
source /etc/csh.login
endif
---
This is the /etc/csh.login file:
# /etc/csh.login
# System wide environment and startup programs for csh users
setenv LOGIN_READ 1
if ($?PATH) then
setenv PATH "${PATH}:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin"
else
setenv PATH "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin"
endif
# this line was also producing an error:
#limit coredumpsize 0
[ `id -gn` = `id -un` -a `id -u` -gt 14 ]
if $status then
umask 022
else
umask 002
endif
setenv HOSTNAME `/bin/hostname`
set history=500
test -d /etc/profile.d
if ($status == 0) then
set nonomatch
foreach i ( /etc/profile.d/*.csh )
test -f $i
if ($status == 0) then
source $i
endif
end
unset i nonomatch
endif
You'll notice I had to put code in at the end of csh.cshrc to
get csh.login read because in the original configuration it
was being ignored, while what I've read about the login process
led me to believe that it was supposed to be read by default.

[expert] installing ssh
Hi, I downloaded new openssl and openssh for my 7.1 os. I installed openssl etc, and when I went to install openssh I got the following unsatisfied dependency error. `rpmlib versioned unsatisfied dependencies <=3.0.3_1' When I downloaded the rpm's for openssh, it listed the required dependencies. openssl and zlib Both of which I have installed. Where can I find `rpmlib > 3.03_1? :) much thanks, mrweb Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Hmm, are you using IDE or SCSI? If you're using IDE, try putting the CD-Rom and CD-R on different "chains", so that one is on secondary master and the other on secondary slave.

[expert] Memory Size
A lot of earlier linux books indicate that the kernel does not properly understand memory greater than 64 megs unless you add a memory size statement to lilo or at a boot prompt. I am running Mandrake 7 on one machine with 320 megs of memory. Using the kde system info (memory) panel it gives what appears to be inconsistent and unreliable reports of the amounts of free, shared, and buffer memory on the machine. Does this reflect the need to have such a memory statement in lilo with Mandrake 7 or is it more likely something else (such as a bug in the memory info program) ? -- Regards, Eric Mings Ph.D. Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

I don't think it's CPU related: I am looking in the direction of interrupts etcetera. I narrowed down the problem to the following situation: it only happens when I do *data* burning *on the fly*, i.e. directly from cd-rom to cd-rw (audio on-the-fly would probably cause the same but I don't do that). It does not happen when I burn an image from HD. More suggestions? Thanks in advance Felix -- Let op nieuw mobiel nummer -- Ir F.K.K.

Re: [expert] Limit telnet access
"man login" will give you the scoop. The file /etc/usertty allows you to setup quite elaborate definitions of host, groups, and users that are able to login to the system.

Is is possible to disable the telnet remote access to certain users in a Linux system? I mean, to say what users can remotely access to the computer and who cannot.

Well, but that's very hardly noticeable. Sure, every program grabs as much of the CPU, memory, cache etc.pp. as it can get, but cdrecord definitely isn't the worst example. Here, I don't have any problems burning a CD and surfing the web. Maybe it is because I use SCSI, dunno.

Re: [expert] Sorting order...1 10 2 20 3 30

When listing > or sorting items by the command ls. kmail, or just about anything, numbers are > sorted by the first digit. That's nothing UNIX-special. What you just noticed is, that the numbers are sorted in an "alphabetical"/ASCII-way. Because 1 is smaller than 10, it comes first. And because everything starting with 2 is bigger than anything starting with a 1 it comes after that. If you have any influence, make sure that the digits are left-padded with zeroes, so that you have 01, 02, This way you'll get the sort order you want.
