Re: [expert] tcsh question

[Jeffrey Twu]

Hi Alex,

This is what I have in my .cshrc file:

if ($?tcsh) then  # are we using the tcsh shell?
  set autolist  # list files on ambiguous filename completion
  set autologout = 360  # 360 minutes idle logout
  set prompt = "{%T}<%n@%m><%B%~%b>[%h] "  # make prompt extra-nifty
  set who = "%B%n%b %a  %U%T%u  %l %B%m%b"
# display format for log of user entry/exit from remote system
# To turn on, use "set watch = (1 any any)"
# ... where 1 is minute interval, any user, any terminal
  if ($?savehist) unset savehist  # don't keep .history file!

  bindkey ^W backward-delete-word  # bind ^W to delete last word
  limit coredumpsize 0  # disallow memory dump files ("core")

  if (`whoami` == "root") then
set prompt = "{%T}<%BROOT%b@%m><%B%~%b>[%h] "  # You are root
  endif
endif

Let's say you wanted to watch specific users instead of
everyone.  Then you do this instaed of (1 any any):

set watch = (1 yermom any yerdad any yersister any)

[expert] tcsh question

[Boddhisatva Troutwaxer]

Does anyone know how to set the "watch" variable in tcsh so I can
watch others log in?
According to what I've seen one just types "set watch=( 
)"
where number is the frequency with which one would like to check logins,
name is the username of the person you're tracking (though it supposedly
can be set to "any") and port is, for example, tty0.
My eternal gratitude to anyone who can give me some good advice.

Re: [expert] cups and the netgear ps110/ps113 printserver

[Neal Lippman]

I haven't tried that particular printserver, but I am using cups with a 
Linksys 3-port printserver. The Linksys unit has a built-in lpr server. 
Configuring it under cups was just a matter of using the MDK configuration 
tool to add a new printer. I added a "remote" printer, specified the 
printserver's IP address and port (the Linksys print server calls its ports 
L1, L2, and L3), and cups handled it without any further effort.

One thing to keep in mind. I have used both Linksys and HP printservers, and 
found that the trickiest part is setting the IP address they will use. The HP 
printservers required that you talk to them with IPX to set the IP address. 
The Linksys website gave instructions for determine the MAC address of the 
printserver from its serial number and then using rarp to assign it an IP 
address. You may want to ensure that the Netgear printserver documentation or 
web site provide enough info so that you can assign it an IP address without 
resorting to windows-based software bcause the method of assigning the IP 
address isn't spelled out.

[expert] Linux-Mandrake 7.2 on Inspiron 4000

[Jeffrey Twu]

Hi folks,

I recently got an Inspiron 4000 from Dell, and ran into video
problems.  I chose standard 1024x768 laptop display for the monitor, and
1024x768 with 16-bit color resolution, and accepted the default graphic
card it selected.  The test looked perfectly fine.  On the reboot,
however, once it launched X, everything went fubar.  I rebooted and when
it got to X again, the screen went a different kind of fubar, and I
rebooted again.  After this reboot it went to grub command-line (it
somehow lost the boot choices I had set up).  I had no idea what to do
from here (who wants to read grub manuals), so I proceeded to clean out
the disk again and re-install Windows 2000.

Anyone know what the correct choices are for the Inspiron 4000
for Linux-Mandrake 7.2?  Thanks in advance.

Jeff

[expert] Upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0 Beta???

[Scott Patten]

I'm sorry if this has been addressed on the list already.  I have not seen 
it and have not been able to find it in the archives.

I know that in the past there have been issues with upgrading from one 
release to another.  I want to know if this is again the case with 8.0.  I 
have a box running 7.2 and I want to try 8.0 Beta.  I know the risks 
involved with beta software.  I'm not too concerned about that right now. 
I just don't want to install from scratch right now.  I want to attempt to 
upgrade _if_ the system is designed to do so.

Any thoughts on this?

Thank you,

Scott Patten

[expert] Updating tio KDE 2.1

[Ron Stodden]

I think I published here a technique for updating from KDE 2.1 Beta2
to KDE 2.1 final without using nodeps or force, which generated some
interest.

I have now used this technique to update a Mandrake 7.2 virgin
install KDE 2.0 to KDE 2.1.

The attachment is the console log of that operation to assist those
with doubts or hesitation.

Notes:

1.  This was performed in a su terminal window opened on the
unsupported/kde-2.1 tree.

2.  The addition of the apmd and ppp RPMs is not shown, since they
were performed from a second su terminal window opened on the 7.2
RPMs tree.

3.  Otherwise every step of the process is shown, except the final
reboot.

4.  After the reboot, the KDE panel came in one line high, quickly
fixed by logout of KDE and log back in again.

5.  After reboot, some panel items were lost & replaced with a
useless KDE gear.   This is easily set right by K -  Configure Penel
- Add - Button, then moving them back into place.

[expert] AA fonts and kedit or kwrite or txt files

[Praedor Tempus]

I am generally pleased with the antialiasing from qt2.3.0 in kde2.1 but I am 
having problems with kedit and kwrite that appears associated.

The problem is that the actual text in the app window is shifted upward 
beyond the menu bar at the top (the cursor resides partially under the menu 
bar) and the text is also invisable.  I can type and type and the cursor 
moves but nothing appears - this is in both kedit and kwrite.

Now for text files.  If I use konqueror to browse my home directory and 
select a text file, it opens it up in the internal konqueror viewer but the 
text is totally dicked.  Instead of text, the page renders as a bunch of 
almost random dots or speckles.  Totally unreadable.  If I open up gedit, it 
is fine and the text file is fine so this is restricted to qt and kde.

I already did the "fix" suggested in the cooker list, downloading the 
truetype font gz file and the XftConfig file.  This allows me to properly 
select arial, etc, fonts, which work very well for everything except kedit 
and kwrite and the internal konqueror text viewer.  One font that is 
impossible to select is fixed font.  It stubbornly remains Adobe Sans serif 
MM which is royally screwed.  If I knew specifically what particular font 
this was amongst those loaded on my system, I would delete it outright.  It 
is utterly useless and hideously mis-rendered.

Has anyone upgraded to qt 2.3.0 and managed to retain kedit and kwrite 
useability?  How about being able to view text files via konqueror?  If 
so...HOW DID YOU DO IT?

I believe Windows likes to be the first partition on

[expert] SPARC SILO setup problems

[Gary Costanzo]

I'm trying to install the 7.1 beta LM on a SPARC IPX workstation.  This box 
previously installed RedHat 6.2 and SUSE 7.0 without problems.

Everything proceeds well with the LM install in text mode.  However, the unit 
will not boot from the SCSI drive.  SILO can't find a boot image.  If I use 
fdisk and create a sun disk label I get a bad disk label when I try to boot.  
If I use fdisk and just create 3 partitions (/boot, swap, and /) making sure 
I don't start on cylinder 0, it still can't find an image.

Are there any known problems with the IPX box and LM?  ANy suggestions?

thnx

[expert] Ports needed? and config for security.

[Franki]

hello linux people...

I have a small question...

I am making up my firewall manually, figure I can do it easier by just
making an executable file with my ipchains rules rather then use a
specific firewall product...

here is what I have so far... (I am basing the rules to allow only these
ports.)

HTTPD   port 80
SMTPport 25
POP3port 110 (limited to internal network address's)
SSH port 22
SSL port 443
WEBMIN  port 1

As you can see, I use the server only for http for pages and perl and mail,
the rest are for configuration/remote access ect..

what other ports must I open for standard server use?  I don't run DNS, have
a static dialup IP and host multiple virtual domain names in apache and
sendmail. to get around the pop3 unencrypted password issue, I have setup
sendmail to readdress all emails from specific address's to go to other
ISP's for collection,, (meaning that I don't use pop3 to collect my email
when not on the internal network.)

do I need any other ports??

Also, what rule can I use to disallow all other ports other then those I
have mentioned without doing all ports and DENY
ie is there a rule that will close all ports not listed in other rules? (as
opposed to specifically denying ports.)

Any help/suggestions would be MOST appreciated... I want to stich up my box
as much as possible.. I am paranoid :-)

sent the message ONCE, with both lists in the to-field (newbie & expert), and 
that stupid mail-sorter at linux-mandrake.com sent the message twice to the 
expert-list and no mails to the newbie-list. So i had to resend it to the 
newbie-list only by hand later. Have a look at the headers.

I replied to your msg in the newbie-list btw :)

[expert] LILO problem with LM7.2

[george . jones]

I just istalled LM7.2 on my new drive (20GB). It's got a 13GB Win98
partition and the rest for LM7.2. The install goes fine, but LILO doesn't
install. I tried with every distro I own and the same thing happens, LILO
refuses to install. In order to get the thing to boot, I installed FreeBSD
4.0, and it's bootloader installed. I re-installed LM7.2 over BSD, but
again, LILO won't install. The BSD loader is still there.

Any clues why?

Re: [expert] sudo update (RPM) dependency problem

[John Wolford]

I guess you verified that it wasn't referring to a file that already exists, right? 
That is,
/etc/pam.d/system-auth really doesn't exist, right? If that's true, then you would 
think that rpm
would report to you a *package* that it depends on, not a file. Anyway, it's a good 
bet that
system-auth is part of the pam rpm package, so maybe you need to update (or install?) 
it, and then
see what it says. Obviously i don't know, but those are my ideas...

SSH was written by Tatu Ylonen as a replacement for telnet.  It was 
originally released under a non-commercial license and then the licensing 
was changed as ssh went commercial.  The protocol was known a free (as in 
beer) replacement was written (I think the effort was started by Theo De 
Raat for the OpenBSD project).  OpenSSH is based on an older release (the 
original 1995 release) of SSH, but has maintained compatibility with the 
SSH product.  For more about the OpenSSH/SSH question, search ZDNet, 
Slashdot, The Register and some other tech news sites as this distinction 
has recently hit the news.  Ylonen is attempting to enforce the 1998 
trademark on SSH, so this particular topic is floating about the internet 
currently.

Re: [expert] openssh / ssh ?

[Dave Sherman]

Actually, there is a difference. ssh is a binary-only commercial software 
that used to be open source but is no longer. openssh is an open source -- 
and free, as in both "speech" and "beer" -- application which is compatible 
with ssh. I believe the compatibility is hovering in the high 90% range, or 
maybe they are 100% now, I don't know.

[expert] Updateing the beast that is Mandrake - or - CLI shenanigans!

[Gabriel Fortuna]

Howdy Chaps!

I got Mandrake 7.2, and apart from the odd hardware crash my baby is, 
well, my baby! I absolutely love LM7.2, and I'm salivating for the 
final release of 8.0. Anyhoo, during that time, I'll admit, I've been a 
bit slack on the whole Update-Your-OS thing... I dont wanna do it 
through X, I'd rather setup a cronjob to do it at say... 2 in the 
morning when there is bandwidth to spare.

So this leads me to the actual purpose of this mail: is there a way to 
run Mandrake's update tool through to CLI?

TIA

Re: [expert] CD-RW - how do I get it working?

[Bill Kenworthy]

Can you do an "lsmod" and post the results along with those from
"cdrecord -scanbus".  A list of your modules.conf would also be handy. 
CDRW is a can of worms if you install it into an already running
Mandrake system!  Also have you run the script from the howto to check
your setup (basicly what I requested above), and checked the /dev/cdrom[
01] link is pointing to the correct place?  I recently added a Sony 140E
which now works well, but it was close to being installed in a windoze
machine just to get a working setup after quite a few hours of work.

[expert] aurora doesn't remont / rw

[Erik Günther]

Hi I have a SMP mashine (P3 800) that crached last night and started to
reboot. But for some unknown reason (for me anyway) aurora didn't remount
the rootpartision rw and ofcause faild to start and faild to start any
other program.

Why dosen't aurora try to remonte root-partions? and what do I do about
it?

The reason that my mashine vrached is probobly that I tried the new NVIDIA
driver (0.9-767). The mashine do boot in "failesafe"-mode bat ofcause in
singel-CPU mode. But the aurora isn't used in "failsafe"-mode.

[expert] linux's installation

[Klar Brian D Contr MSG SICN]

I have been having a heck of a time trying to install Mandrake 8b on my
PII with 2 hd's. hda (was) all win, while hdc was all linux. I have tried
with Mandrake 8b and Redhat 7.1b, and get the same ending. It
appears that they do not like to be installed on the second drive
properly. Mandrake 8b will refuse to make a good boot disk, and lilo
wont install correctly. Redhat will work, but only from floppy.
When I installed either one on hda, flawless installation. Is there some-
thing with a newer version of lilo maybe? Mandrake will not set up my
Matrox G450 for nothing, and the version of X4.02 does not give a 450
choice, whereas the Redhat version of X gives a choice #374 is 450.
I know I need to get the driver from Matrox site, and I did try with both
distros. Only Redhat would give me a usable X.

Any insight to this problem appreciated.

Robert,

It does indeed sound like the trouble is with Postfix. I've found lately
that Postfix with mandrake 7.2 has exibted strange behavior which is why
I went back to Sendmail. Try uninstalling Postfix, then reinstall the
package. If that doesn't straighten things out, then you might also want
to consider switching to Sendmail. Before you can install Sendmail
though you will have to have Postfix uninstalled. Sendmail should work
for you right out-a the box.
