[expert] IPtables question
I'm wondering about the functioning of IPTables on my LM8 install. I have two ethernet cards: eth0 is external and eth1 is internal. Using nmap, I get: [root@mozart root]# nmap -sT my external IP: 6000/tcp openX11 among other entries. When I do: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 6000 -i eth0 -j DROP the command is accepted, but nmap still shows port 6000 as being open. Any idea what's going on?
[expert] Fw: NVidia (and KDE) bug - another possible fix
-Original Message- From: Simon Naish [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue, 05 Jun 2001 16:42:03 +0800 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: NVidia (and KDE) bug - another possible fix OK this is kind of supposition, but it is based on finally getting those pesky NVidia drivers to work with any user, and then playing around with the result for a while, so here goes.. The fix IS the Gnu log in page, at least on my system, but the reason isn't hugely obvious at first (at least not to me). If you got yours working like this try something, log in, play game, log out, log in (same account or different one), try and play game. Im betting it wont make any difference what so ever that you are using the gnu login, your NVidia driver wont drive, you just get that rather pants seg fault and not alot of info, other than the app just tried to initialise a window. NOw this suggests to me that the bug is definetly in the NVidia driver, not KDE's log in. So why wont KDE's log in work(?). Well I reckon it's to do with the way that the KDE login seems to fire up the drivers at least twice, you definetly get at least one splash screen, and that as the above paragraph explains, kills the driver. So there is a bug in the NVidia driver, Id be willing to bet it was a memory problem when it's shutting down, maybe there is a system wide variable that isnt being reset, or a memory leak somewhere, the point is this isnt kde's login, (although there are issues to do with why is it restarting the driver) it seems to be pretty likekly that the real culprit is the driver. Hope this helps any one, if you're having these problems, check out www.littlewhitedog.com they have a great article and a forum full of people tring to fix this problem. cheers Si -- ___ Get your free email from http://www.mail.com

I guess this is directed primarily at Civileme, but anybody directly connected with Madnrake will do - any idea when the 8.0 Power Pack is going to ship?

But when I try to connect to a dalnet server in IRC, I can't do it, because it says I have to be runing ident (which I am, but I'm assuming that ident can't get through the router's firewall).

Take a look in /etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime for the : # Disabling supermount if not here if [[ $(uname -m) != sparc* ]];then if grep -q '^\/.*supermount.*' /etc/fstab \ ! grep -q '[[:space:]]supermount$' /proc/filesystems \ ! modprobe -n supermount /dev/null 2/dev/null [ -x /usr/bin/perl ];then action Disabling Supermount /usr/sbin/supermount -i disable fi fi section (the above is from 8.0). With LM 7.x, 2.2.x kernels put 'supermount.o' in a slight different directory location than the 2.4.x kernels use. So the first time you boot a 2.4 kernel, the script doesn't find the module, and overwrites /etc/fstab, and disables supermount. You'll need to edit mandrake_everytime to correct the location of the supermount module, and then run 'supermount -i enable' (see man supermount), restart. With 8.0, it looks for supermount so all this shouldn't be a problem.

[expert] Nvidia hell
I have taken all the steps to get the Nvidia drivers working. I tried the rpms because I was lazy, I tried the src.rpms because thats what real men use, and I tried the tarballs because that what everyone else uses. I have LM 8.0 installed on: AMD K6-2 500 ASUS P5A mobo 256 MB ram 15 Gig WD HD 1.0-1251 NVIDIA Drivers Hercules Prophet 2 MX PCI (yes PCI) I made the proper additions to the Xf86config-4 file I set the runlevel to 3 and boot to a console. I am able to run games like Chromium but anything more advanced than that locks up my box like windows after you move the mouse. Tux racer and Quake 3 never get past the splash screens and I hear the sound but it is locked tight.BZflag never starts though it tries and open universe worked on my old diamond stealth 2000 2MB card. I have become an expert at issuing fsck and resloving filesystem problems I must say. I hate to use the old cliche but all works great in windows. Might this be related to the fact the card is PCI? I have invested more time in trying to resolve this than it took to rebuild the engine in my 76 280Z!! TIA, John W

Re: [expert] Xchat and firewalls
The Linksys router just does NAT and port forwarding... I think the problem is that the linksys is trying to NAT the identd service, which is most likely causing some problems.

I'm using it as a server for internet, files, and apache is bound to my internal interfaces (ports closed to the outside world for that). Anyways, it seems that squid is running away. Just out of the blue I looked over at my modem and the traffic lights were flashing like made. When I ran top it mentioned kapm-idled and squid were running at the top of the list. I shut squid down, and the strange traffic just stopped... I strated it back up and same as beforee. the traffic lights are going mad... Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

If st21s (.54) isn't up, none of the other local machines can ping any others. Seems like this should not be so. Also, the IP Masquerade mini HOWTO says: Configuring OS/2 Warp 6.Set the same DNS (Nameserver) Address that your Linux host uses in 'Hosts'. I currently have no DNS addresses in the OS/2 hosts file. Is this consistent with what you wrote above? You now need to setup ipmasq on st21s to allow OS/2 to communicate through it. So, I'm still not where I need to be. Maybe closer I hop. I guess I'm still short on understanding the gateway concept and how it is implemented. gateway is just another term for router in this context. You now need to setup address translation (NAT aka ipmasq)... Is ipmasq just a nick for IP masquerade and/or NAT, or an actual Linux executable (which I don't see in /sbin)? I found the IPCHAINS IP Masquerade (mini full) HOWTO's.

However, I'm absolutely unsure about whether what I've done is a desirable way to reach that end, or whether I should be doing more than I have. If all I needed to do is what I did do, why didn't I find a simple example anywhere that simply states howto? Surely a configuration much like mine is common. Thanks again!

eth0
In detail:
192.168.53.254 is the host ip of the 'inside' (secure) network. Both the
netmask (255.255.255.255) and the flags (U = route is up, H = target is a
host) are correct for this device. It is reached through eth1.
192.168.53.0 is the sucure network. Again the netmask and flags are
correct. This is also reached through eth1.
24.156.70.0 is the outside (unsecure) network and again, netmask and
flags are fine. This network is, however, reached via eth0.
0.0.0.0 is the 'default route' or the 'gateway of last resort'. When no
other route is appropriate, data are sent here. This is the only entry that
has (or needs) a gateway address and that address is supplied by @home
via dhcp. Its netmask is correct for 'the universe' (everything) and the flags
indicate that it is up and that it is a gateway.
Now notice that I have defined 1 host, 1 gateway and 1 local host and 2
networks while you have defined 2 hosts, 1 gateway and 1 local host and 1
network. Forgetting localhost, I have 1 network defined for each interface,
one host and one default route. Damn, this seems to be going on and on!
Anyway, I believe that your ifcfg-* files are still incorrect and that you do
I'd like to know. ;-)
not need the the ifconfig statements in rc.local. I could be totally wrong
here; I'm the first to admit that I know NOTHING about ppp. It could also
be a function of the version that you are running. All of my Linux
experience is the RH 6.x and MDK 8.0 (although I have been networking
with various Unices since the early 80's).

use this one to focus on command line stuff, but like the default MDK

[expert] append= mem=2048M
When I append this to my /etc/lilo.conf it doesn't work. My system only shows 897M of memory, when it has 2gbs. Any ran across this problem before and know how to fix this ? Thanks !! -- Scott D.

RE: [expert] append= mem=2048M
There are people on the lists using 1.5 gig of ram successfully, so you might ask in the newbie list as well, I have seen it discussed on there not that long ago... if they can get 1.5, it stands to reason that it should handle 2... or at least more then 897 rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alexander Skwar Sent: Thursday, 7 June 2001 2:07 AM To: Scott D.

Uhm, I think to use that much memory, you need to use the -enterprise kernel that comes with 8.0. Don't know for sure, though.
