[expert] Name Mangling with Samba?
Weird backup problem -- Thank god I've been buring CD's occasionally (much more often now). Setup: Server LM 7.2, 2.2.19 kernel Samba 2.09 Computer used for backup WIN95 (I know, I know, that's the problem, but it has a tape drive) Tape backup Conner Travan 3 drive - floppy interface Backup Software Conner (now Seagate) Backup exec History: Used the tape drive to full/incrementally backup all data on a weekly/daily basis. The tape worked like a charm when the network was all peer-to-peer M$ machines. Replaced the overworked secretary's d-drive data repository with the server (see above). I have the firm's data share mapped as F: in the Windows world. I continued to use the Conner tape backup to backup all data. (Used to be backing up peer-to-peer from secretary's D: drive, mapped as F:, Now have the [Rankin Bertin] Samba share mapped as F:. The backup works great -- almost. It seems that the file names copied from the Samba share that get 'recorded' or stored on the tape are mangled to an 8.3 or .yyy format. This doesn't happen if I back up information from a WinXX computer. What is really weird is that the Conner backup exec software "catalogs" the files with their full file name, but the actual filename as it exists on the tape is mangled to 8.3. I'm stumped. There is no way to correlate between what is 'indexed' and what gets 'stored' on the tape. Admittedly, I don't think this is a Linux or Samba problem. (Anyone else using a similar backup scheme, better try a restore test) The Problem: The problem is that if I try to restore a file, the restore component of the Conner software can't find the file on the tape. This is because the backup 'index' contains the full - long file name, while the actual tape catalog contains the mangled 8.3 or .yyy version of the file name. Now don't get me wrong, I know the data is being written to tape, but can you imagine the amount of time it would take to untangle 200 meg of 20k files that all start with ltr-*&$%.doc, when it should say ltr-smith 20010608.doc, or whatever? (without the statistical bs, lets just say there are over 5000 permutations for any one given file) So the question to be resolved is: (1) is there any way to stop the name mangling; (2) if not, is there any Linux application that will talk to this tape drive that will allow me to move it to the Linux box to get around this problem; or (3) if not, what is the best (and cheapest) tape drive I can get to stick in the Linux box (no SCSI) that I can build a cron tab to run the backup for to get a bullet proof backup each day. Why you ask? (1) I like to sleep; (2) The bock stops here (not often enough); (3) You know your in trouble when: (a) You would be disbarred (castration is cruel and unusual punishment unless your in Mississippi) for not being able to account for your client trust; (b) The IRS would wan't your 2nd born in settlement - no questions asked; (c) You look around and there is not ONE TYPEWRITER TO BE FOUND; and (d) Due to the paperwork reduction act, a squirrel couldn't build a nest with the paper records to be found around the office.

[expert] Can't make nut-0.44.3 into RPM
I need help. (Sincerely) I downloaded nut-0.44.3.tar.gz and I read the information required to build an RPM from the tarball. rpm -ta nut-0.44.3.tar.gz I have an AMD k6-233 w/Mandrake 7.2 2.2.19-4 kernel. Something really strange happens. When I execute the rpm -ta command, it starts to build. It creates the source tree in /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/nut-0.44.3. A file is created in /var/tmp/rpm.tmp-27557 with the contents of: *** #!/bin/sh RPM_SOURCE_DIR="/home/RPM/SOURCES" RPM_BUILD_DIR="/usr/src/RPM/BUILD" RPM_OPT_FLAGS="-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -s -march=pentium -ffast-math -fexpensive-optimizations" RPM_ARCH="i386" RPM_OS="linux" export RPM_SOURCE_DIR RPM_BUILD_DIR RPM_OPT_FLAGS RPM_ARCH RPM_OS RPM_DOC_DIR="/usr/share/doc" export RPM_DOC_DIR RPM_PACKAGE_NAME="nut" RPM_PACKAGE_VERSION="0.44.3" RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE="1" export RPM_PACKAGE_NAME RPM_PACKAGE_VERSION RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE RPM_BUILD_ROOT="/var/tmp/nut-0.44.3-root" export RPM_BUILD_ROOT set -x umask 022 cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD rm -rf nut-0.44.3 /bin/gzip -dc /home/RPM/SOURCES/nut-0.44.3.tar.gz | tar -xf - STATUS=$? if [ $STATUS -ne 0 ]; then exit $STATUS fi cd nut-0.44.3 [ `/usr/bin/id -u` = '0' ] && /bin/chown -Rhf root .

The build dies with the error: ** [root@Skyline SOURCES]# rpm -ta nut-0.44.3.tar.gz Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.18275 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD + cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD + rm -rf nut-0.44.3 + /bin/gzip -dc /home/RPM/SOURCES/nut-0.44.3.tar.gz + tar -xf - + STATUS=0 + '[' 0 -ne 0 ']' + cd nut-0.44.3 ++ /usr/bin/id -u + '[' 0 = 0 ']' + /bin/chown -Rhf root . ++ /usr/bin/id -u + '[' 0 = 0 ']' + /bin/chgrp -Rhf root . + /bin/chmod -Rf a+rX,g-w,o-w . + autoconf /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.18275: autoconf: command not found Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.18275 (%prep) ** So it looks like autoconf is my problem. Yes, I admit its a problem, because I don't know enough to fix it I need help. What's going on here? Well to keep pressing on, I may have out smarted myself, because I figured that as long as the source tree was there, I should be able to just build it manually, (./configure, make, make install) Well, the ./configure and make seem to have worked as they should.

There are drivers being written for the 160 Ultras, and the newer aic7xxx.o module should control it (and mess up any CDROM you have attached at the same time).

Maybe only a few ... but an important few (who obviously includes me!). Seriously, text based browsers are in use in various forms for handicapped people as well, and with Lynx you can check alt tags, and other "access" features etc. Also lynx/links are great if you want something very fast and can also be used for things like the initial ximian install scripts (which is probably not important for a viewable web page!).

Re: [expert] Create a link (shortcut) to my html dir
Hello Instead of creating a link to another directory, you could edit your httpd.conf file to point to your html directory of choice directly. Simply change the "DocumentRoot" variable to /home/ozzy/html Alternatively, if you want to have several users (ie a web address of your.domain.name/~yourname/) create the directory public_html in your home directory or whatever you set the UserDir variable to be. Hope this helps!

Actually I just put in a geforce 2 yesterday because my old voodoo 3 just doesn't have the oomph to handle tribes2. The nvidia card set up with no problems here - what kind of difficulty were / are you having? Recommendations based on my very limited experiences: If you are not playing Tribes 2, then the voodoo 3 will work fine but there are problems with changing resolutions while in runlevel 5 (same problems that the nvidia cards have?) so you have boot to runlevel 3 and then startx. A bit of a pain perhaps but the card handles Q3A and UT with no problems. The matrox g400 is my recommendation if you aren't overly worried about 3d. it works great, is reasonably stable (ymmv) and can also handle Q3A, UT, and SoF with no problems, although a game with lots of people might result in unacceptable framerates. Both those cards can easily do a 12?? x 10?? desktop at 16 bit. Sorry, i don't have any experience with any other cards except the nvidia i got yesterday, so cannot say how the matrox or voodoo compare with ati or other cards. If you are planning to play Tribes 2, i would suggest sticking with the nvidia - others might work, but not as nearly as well, from what i've seen. -- Chris and Yoshiko Spackman www.openhistory.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] (English) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Japanese) "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered.

Re: [expert] Harddrives slowness moving to MD 8.0 from previous MD 7.2
OK your kernel is crippling itself because it is not able to confirm the flavor of VIA chipset you are using. I am pasting this from a post I made regarding this very item. Many folk have reported sluggish performance on their Mandrake 8.0 installations. Here are some reasons: 1. See the article on MandrakeForum. If you have a K6 with a VIA chipset, there is your explanation. Also holds for some others--this was an engineering decision made on the basis of this: http://www.au-ja.de/review-kt133a-1-en.html 2. If you want to change that behavior, first choose whether you want reiserfs and full usb support or not. If you do not care and don't mind a possibly significant risk to your data, then put in CD2 open a terminal(superuser mode) rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/kernel-linus2.4-2.4.3-2mdk Open Mandrake Control Center Go to Boot Configuration and choose LILO or Graphical LILO Modify your linux boot change the boot image to vmlinuz-2.4.3-2mdklinus close reboot You will then have all the performance kernel2.4 is capable of delivering, though you might be able to improve it further by consulting man hdparm and tuning any ide drives you have. You may also have significant risk to your data, but that is another story. If you do not, or are willing to take the risk and really want reiser, there is also kernel recompilation to consider.

Re: [expert] Fwd: Two internet conexions
Francisco Take a look at something called schemes. I've never used them, but that are for doing exactly what you want. I have the same situation as you; one laptop that oscillates between work and home. Since the offices dhcp to assign IP numbers et al, I set up a small dhcp server on my hme Linux box (firewall) and now my laptop is simple set for dhcp. No matter where I plug it in, it gets all the right info from the appropriate dhcp server.

[expert] Harddrives slowness moving to MD 8.0 from previous MD 7.2
Hi, I've been happily using MD 7.2 in my box and now I'm trying moving to 8.0. Everything seems to work properly but my hard drives that run extremely slowly, 2 MB/s. For exemple, from the comand:"/sbin/hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda" I get: "/dev/hda: setting using -dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: operation not permitted using-dma = 0 (off)" I've tyied to install it several times, upgrade de kernel, but nothing works. With MD 7.2 I used to get 16 Mb/s Does anyone has same suggestion. Thank you in advance.

Dear folks, is the second time I put this message in the list; I am starting to think that it is impossible to do that but, hear is the question again. I have for my laptop two possible internet conexion, one in the University (a lan conexion), where I work, and other at home (a cable modem conexion). Using Mandrake Control Center I have to profiles, the default, with the characteristics of my home conexion, and other named Facultad (Faculty) with the data of the University and IP conexion. Of course I would like to easily switch between both profiles, to use each one in the appropriate site. How can I do that?

I would like to get something that can offer close to the performance of the geforce 2 mx with roughly the same $100 price tag! Thanks for any suggestions, John W ---
[expert] 3C905B-Combo network card
Hi, is anyone able to use a 3Com EtherLink 10/100 PCI 3C905B-Combo NIC with LM8.0? Mine is connected via 10Base2 (thinnet) with BNC connectors, works perfect under windows, but not at all in LM8.0. I can't ping my gateway or anything else, I get "Destination Host Unreachable" all the time. I am thinking, could it be because the card chooses the wrong interface, say 10BaseT instead of 10Base2? The "3c59x" module loads fine (but gets me nowhere), but I can't find out if it accepts any options, such as the interface... The newer "3c90x" does not load at all. It gives: [root@botik 3c90x-1.0.0]# insmod 3c90x Using /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz Warning: /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz parameter switchdelay has max < min! /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters or if I try to set media to 10Base2: [root@botik 3c90x-1.0.0]# insmod 3c90x media_select=3 Using /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz Warning: /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz parameter switchdelay has max < min! /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz: unknown parameter type 'M' for media_select Has anyone been able to load the "3c90x" module, especially with this card?

[expert] via-rhine network cards
I have two dlink viarhine network cars in one of my machines (pci). The dlink website even tells you how to set them up in caldera open linux. However in both mdk 8 and 7.2 the hardware adresses for both cards are always 00 00 etc. The module loads fine, and ips etc are all assigned to the cards correctly, however nothing works at all. No pinging or anything. They are both on differnent subnets so that isnt the problem, and it doesnt work even when there is only one in the machine. Any one got the same/similar cards and know how to fxi the problem? Thanks in advance Tom

[expert] Evolution question
Hi, all. I've just switched from kmail to Evolution (because xfce seems to have "issues" with kmail). It's a fine little Outlook-like app, but I am having one problem: When I delete a message, I can't expunge it (and remove it from the message list). I get the following error: "Error while 'Expunging Folder': Folder mismatch, even after synching'." Has anyone seen this problem? I'm not sure it's fixable (being a beta and all), but I'm just wondering. Also, when I type a message in a compose window, I can't see the cursor. The letter show up once I start typing, but that's the only way I know where the cursor is.

On next boot it will ask what video mode you want. Tell is you want to see the choices. If the number you noted isn't in the list, that was your problem. Next choose the a mode that you think suits your fancy. When you are sure which mode you like best, change the lilo.conf vga= entry from ask to the number of your favorite mode, and run lilo again. From then until you change something else, it will come up in your favorite mode each boot. For testing to see which mode you like best, set up lilo with a runlevel 1 option and test it there. That will save a bunch of reboot time while you are making up your mind which non-80X25 is best for you. -- A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.Proverbs 29:11 NKJV Felix Miata *** http://mrmazda.members.atlantic.net/

For instance, if I want to download Apache source to a server, I use lynx http://httpd.apache.org/ Then, I can navigate to the mirror list and download right there. :) I don't use lynx for normal browsing, though, that's what Galeon is for. It all boils down to "right tool for the job". Regarding lynx users complaining about visiting sites with graphics / flash - They aren't complaining that it has those things. Just that the ONLY way to use them is through flash or by reading the images.

As for the virus thingy, VShield looks at the execution of the code, and it could very well look like a virus to Windows.

[expert] security
is there any security measure (script/device) that may prevent computers in my home network to communicate with each other? I used to have a working network, but something happen that terminated the communication betwwenthe 2. I think it happened after installing linx-bastille. i think i removed bastille, however, i am unable to tell if when i removed bastile it reset all files taht it changed. My windows and linux machines have all appropriate settings and the nic cards appear to work, but when i try to ping the other machine it doesn't get anything back Both, windows and linix, can ping themselves, the localhost, and external networks such yahoo or mandrake, but they can't ping one another. I tried everything, from changing setting and all of that. Again, the setting in both machines are correct according to all documentation i've loooked at (mandrake's tutorials, MUO's how-to, and the 5 linux books i have.). all setting are correct. So i have to assume the there is some sort of security issue inplace preventing thse machine from talking to one another I'd like to know if anyone can suggest which security files to look at and change to see if that is what is preventing these machines from pining each other Thanks in advance for your assistance

I have gftp-2.0.8-1.2-mdk installed but it won't launch.

I think this is something that upgraded last week when I did a bunch of upgrading using Mandrake update but since I haven't tried to use it for the last few days I'm not sure if the upgrade is related to the breakdown or not. If it matters, I have also tried reverting to the original verions released with 7.1 but that won't work either although it crashes with a bunch of entirely different errors.

I use it sometimes, but I'm not sure how popular it is. It hasn't reached the full release yet. It's only on version 0.9.

There may be a problem with the firewall, or an intermittent alternate path around the firewall. Assuming the number of hops between [A,B,C] and D is less than 9, you can try "ping -R"** from D and when the replies start coming in, see if the recorded routing information is as expected... Also, compare the responses to see if you are getting different routing on the individual pings. ** won't work through a LinkSys Note... traceroute is not the same... it tries to discover a path from X to Y by probing 1-hop deeper on each attempt; but may not discover all the alternate paths which may exist, or find intermittent paths. "ping -R" records the path (outbound interfaces) it really took as a packet "to" and the reply "from" which may be different paths since routing is not guaranteed to be symmetrical. HTH, Pierre

Either get more IP addresses from your ISP for the mail and Web servers, use a small hub between the servers and the ISP's router/modem/whatever, or you can put a third nic in your firewall and using ipchains rules forward packets, by port number, to the proper server(s).

Once an RPM is installed, the filename one used to install it is no longer relevant (or even known by) the RPM database. Query an RPM file to see what package it provides: # rpm -q kdebase-devel-2.1.1-13mdk.i586.rpm kdebase-devel-2.1.1-13mdk Note there's no ".i586.rpm" at the end. So, to delete, you delete the package name, not the filename associated with it.

To remove a package you'll need to use the name the package is known by in the rpm database - not the name used by the distro managers to keep things straight on the cd's. In this instance, your command should probably be... rpm -e kdebase-devel-2.1.1-13mdk ...to remove the package.

[expert] bizarre remote access/network problem
I have a bizarre problem that I hope someone may be able to give me a clue in the right direction to solve. Setup: Work: I have 3 Linux-MDK8.0 PC's on my desk at work. All connected to same switch. A,B,C all have public static IP's can all ping each other and ssh into each other. Home: I have a 4th MDK8.0 computer, "D", at home with a publc static IP over an ADSL connection. Symptom: A,B,C can all ping and ssh into D. When I go home, D can not ping A,B,or C. Bizarre: If I leave a ping running from home for about 1.5 hours, A,B,C start responding to my pings. If I close all ssh sessions and stop pinging for approx 1 hour, and then try to ping from D again, the pings fail. If I get one of A,B,C to respond from D, I can ssh into it from D, then ssh to another computer of A,B,C, and then it will start responding to pings as well. Details: PC "A" is a Dell machine i bought and put Win2k/Linux on. PC's "B" and "C" are machines I built myself and have identical hardware. As I always customize the install, they have slightly different software loaded. They are running only Linux. PC "D" I built myself and is different than the other computers. It is dual boot Win2k/Linux. Troubleshooting: I replaced the existing Hub when the problem started with a new switch. >From D, I can ping 2 different Windows 2000 computers connected to the same switch in my office. Port Sentry was initially disabling me so I removed it from all computers. I want the problem to go away before I start more on security. I cleared all /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny entries. I can't find any logs that show my pings being blocked, but I admit not knowing everywhere to look. I formatted/reinstalled Linux on all 3 computers at work. I can telnet from home into an old Sparcstation at the switch at work and ping A,B,C from it. I've replaced all network cables at work with brand new ones. I know they work because I can access the internet from A,B,C. I've verified that A,B,C won't respond from an another external location besides my home. Help! I have to get these working. B,C will be web/email servers that won't be much good if I can't ping them from outside my office. Thanks to anyone who can help! -Brian

Interestingly, make modules does not build supermount.o; it kinda ignores that subdirectory it seems. doing a make in that subdir also fails. Thus, I can't enable supermount. It also turns out that the things in /etc/fstab that are of type VFAT are also not loaded; things like /mnt/win_c and /mnt/win_d are not mounted. typing mount -av also totally ignores those lines. While building the kernel, I did specify VFAT amongst the file systems. -turgut -- EgeNet Internet Services: http://www.egenet.com.tr All of Turkey Online: http://find.egenet.com.tr

[expert] rescue of scsi
Hello, I seem to have a corrupted bootloader, so I booted up the installation cdrom with linux rescue The aic7xxx.o module gets loaded, but I don't know how to mount my root partition and re-run lilo. The partition is on /dev/sda5 I tried mount -t ext2 /dev/sda5 /tmp lsmod shows that aic7xxx is there. But it tells me it does not recognize /dev/sda5 as a valid block device and suggests insmod driver. Any ideas? TIA, - sen
[expert] Performance Issues
Many folk have reported sluggish performance on their Mandrake 8.0 installations. Here are some reasons: 1. See the article on MandrakeForum. If you have a K6 with a VIA chipset, there is your explanation. 2. If you want to change that behavior, first choose whether you want reiserfs and full usb support or not. If you do not care and don't mind a possibly significant risk to your data, then put in CD2 open a terminal(superuser mode) rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/kernel-linus2.4-2.4.3-2mdk Open Mandrake Control Center Go to Boot Configuration and choose LILO or Graphical LILO Modify your linux boot change the boot image to vmlinuz-2.4.3-2mdklinus close reboot You will then have all the performance kernel2.4 is capable of delivering, though you might be able to improve it further by consulting man hdparm and tuning any ide drives you have. You may also have significant risk to your data, but that is another story. Civileme
[expert] Compiling LM8.0 kernel for SCSI system
Hello List, I have a friend with a new scsi system with a 1.2g athlon and usb mouse and keyboard. During install of LM 8.0 it found Symbios 53c1010-33 ultra3 scsi adapter (Tekram). He tried to recompile the kernel for his Athlon cpu but when he gets to the scsi section of the kernel in make xconfig he finds that this scsi adapter is not an option, even though it has been found on install and the kernel out of the box works fine. Also the recompiled kernel no longer finds the usb keyboard or mouse, though they are found on install. Anyone any ideas on how to recompile a scsi kernel for LM8.0, please?

[expert] Perl problem: print $x; does not work, only print $x,"\n";
Hi, I recently upgraded to Mandrake 8.0 (using the perl distrbution which is part of Mandrake 8.0) and found a strange problem: perl -e '$x=1; print $x;' does NOT print anything. But perl -e '$x=1; print $x,"\n";' and perl -e '$x=1, print $x; print "\n";' do work. On any other system I use (including Solaris, HP-UX, WinNT, Win2000) perl -e '$x=1; print $x;' works properly. Did anybody else observe the same? Is there a solution to this problem?
