 Hi folks,

 Aug 18 17:31:33 logan in.rshd[4471]: rsh command was 'ls'
 
 The server receives a Permission Denied message. The command was simply rsh
 logan ls. I also tried rsh -l root logan ls. However, if I just try a simple
 rlogin or rsh logan, I can connect and run commands to my heart's content.
 
 Any ideas why I can open a session to the machine with rlogin/rsh, but I cannot
 execute a remot command with rsh?
 
 Thanks!

By default, you can't rsh to root@linuxbox. It's most secure.
But you can enable this (you should use ssh instead of rsh):

Firt, you must be able to rsh with standard user
Second, for the root case, the explanation is in /etc/pam.d/rsh:
#%PAM-1.0
# For root login to succeed here with pam_securetty, rsh must be
# listed in /etc/securetty.

Thanks Laurent. I had found this, however I wasn't sure how to add rsh to the

tty6), however I still could not gain access. Am I using the wrong syntax or
do I need to restart some service after making the change to /etc/securetty?

Just adding 'rsh' should work. Did you check if rsh works with another user ?
If not, check /etc/xinetd.d/rsh. It musts exist, and should not be disable
(see disable parameter in the file).

I was out of town and just catching up...  

I have a Sony Mavica.  My reasons for this choice is no reliance on any port
type; it uses standard floppies.

But the real benefit of this choice is seen when out in the field...  unlike
the port-based cameras, I can keep shooting without the need to find a
compatible computer to upload images to free up space to continue shooting...   
If I run out of film, no problem...  just pick up more floppies and keep
shooting...  besides, this lets me keep the floppies like I would negatives or
slides without risking losing all in a HD crash.

Another benefit was that I already had a Sony Digital video which uses the same
battery...  so now, I can be recharging one in my car (using an inverter) and
thus have virtually no camera downtime.

Just wanted to point out that there are non-technology issues to picture
taking...

Re: [expert] Upgrading WINE

2001-08-19 Thread Praedor Tempus

It's a safer bet to uninstall the codeweavers version first, then install the 
new version.  If you are going to change providers, you may also see a 
different set of paths for installation so that if you leave the previous 
version on your system you may end up with a mishmash of libs, etc.

If you were upgrading from one winehq version to another, then fine, but you 
are switching variants of wine so...just ininstall codeweavers first and 
avoid any potential problems.

Before you jump you may want to try out Polarbar (www.polarbar.org). It's a
completely Java based mailer that is full featured and naturally cross platform.
It will run with either 1.1.8 or 1.3.x Java clients and there are many users
running on multiple platforms. I run Polarbar on both Windows 2000 and Linux.
There are even a large number of OS/2 users since Polarbar was based on the Java
based JStreet Mailer from Innoval, maker of the popular OS/2 mail client Post
Road Mailer. 

Since I use a mapped home directory - the same one from both machines - I have
all of my messages available wherever I am. Polarbar stores mail as individual
pop files making it very easy to access messages even outside of the mail
client.

Checking the man page for sercuretty, it seems to indicate a single entry per

BUGS in BETA 1 and FIXES so you can test better

BUGS KNOWN AND FIXES:p
1-Printer Test files are missing--because Printer install is completely
accomplished during installation by PrinterDrake and because any later
install is also by PrinterDrake,the installation of printers is not
possible, because these packages are needed.  Download ''printer-testpages''
rpm from Cooker./p

p
2-Menus for all your window managers will be spotty and incomplete.  There
are two ways to fix
this without a new RPM.  /pulli

a.  Delete the following three filesulli
 /usr/lib/menu/kdepim-kandyli
 /usr/lib/menu/kdepim-korganizerli
 /usr/lib/menu/kdepim-kpilotli/ulli
and run (as root) update-menus logout and loginli
 If you are unable to get a terminal running in KDE to do this
 hit alt-F2 and type konsole without the quotes.li

b.  (For tinkerers)ulli
/usr/lib/menu/kdepim-kandy has an extra double quote ()
fillowing%c in the line--delete itli
/usr/lib/menu/kdepim-korganizer has an extra double quote
following korganize--change it
 to the letter ''r''li
/usr/lib/menu/kdepim-kpilot has an extra double quote following
kpilo -- change it to a ''t''./ulli
 Then run update-menus, logout and login./ul

 Hi!

 I did no problemswith installation, but my menues were also gone. So
 I could not do any real test. I was doing a fresh install on

Re: [expert] rsh - Permission Denied

2001-08-19 Thread Erik Kaffehr

Hi!

I think that you need an entry 

host root

in the other machines /root directory

So if you would like to do rsh from ngk to champion

I would add the line

ngk root

to the /root/.rhosts

file. The file should have 644 permission I think.

And using ssh may be a better idea if you have anything like connection to 
the internet without a firewall.

Regards

Erik

 Hi folks,

 I'm trying to use rsh from my LM7.2 server to connect to my LM8.0f1machine
 and I'm receiving the following on the LM8.0f1 box:

 Aug 18 17:31:33 logan in.rshd[4471]: rsh command was 'ls'

 The server receives a Permission Denied message. The command was simply
 rsh logan ls. I also tried rsh -l root logan ls. However, if I just try
 a simple rlogin or rsh logan, I can connect and run commands to my
 heart's content.

 Any ideas why I can open a session to the machine with rlogin/rsh, but I
 cannot execute a remot command with rsh?

 Thanks!

[expert] /var/lock files empty.

2001-08-19 Thread Tom Walsh

Hello,

This is odd!  I did a new install of Mandrake 8.0, finally finished
re-installing most of my software (kylix, StarOffice, m68k-elf tools,
etc).  I now find that kermit creates an empty /var/lock/LCK..ttyS0
file, it is zero length.  Another program, one I wrote and run under
Mandrake 7.2, also is creating empty lockfiles.  Curiously, minicom is
creating lockfiles with the correct data in them.

I did install this system with Medium Security..  Is there something
new under 2.4 kernel based systems / glibc 2.2.2 that is now required to
write data to the lockfile dir?

Right now, I am hacking the minicom sources apart trying to see what it
could be!  Anyone have any ideas?

Puzzled,

TomW

[expert] adding stuff to Mandrake's kernel

2001-08-19 Thread Al Niessner


How do I get the configuration used to build the kernel that installed
with the Mandrake 8.0 system and which make rule is the correct one?

I installed the kernel-sources rpm from my 8.0 distribution set. Then I
added ACPI -- using 'make menuconfig -- because my new laptop uses that
standard instead of APM and the APM support in the Mandrake kernel does
not work with ACPI. The kernel I get in return is huge compared to
/boot/vmlinux. So, how do I get the configuration used to generate the
vmlinux that is installed? That kernel works well and I do not want to
chase thousands of silly problems in kernel tweaking land in order to
get ACPI added.

Thinking that the .config supplied with kernel-sources was the one that
make vmlinux-2.4.3-mdk20, I removed the RPM and then reinstalled and did
a 'make dep vmlinux' and got a kernel that is 2.2 MB vs the 833 KB. To
add insult to injury, it does not boot either.

I then tried 'make bzImage' which gave me a 5.5 KB kernel that does not
boot because it is missing a signature.

That leaves me with the question. What configuration and make rule did
the folks at Mandrake use in order to create vmlinux-2.4.3-mdk20?

I would have thought that the Mandrake folks would have supplied the
configuration with the sources or at the install time in
'/usr/src/linux/.config-mdk20'. Oh well.

Have you tried adding cyclops to the /etc/hosts file on logan?  It looks
like it's trying to lookup cyclops on logan, and is timing out before
allowing you to connect--I've seen this behavior before with both telnet
