This should not be a problem. You just have to configure the services to listen on the desired interface / ip-address. for services that are run from xinet.d you must use the bind or interface keyword in the config file. man xinetd.conf will tell you more.

Re: [expert] compiling new kernel, keeping old kernel, how?
Hi David, All you simply need to do is add another stanza in your /etc/lilo.conf. For example, here's part of my laptop's lilo.conf: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.5-3mdksmp label=245-3smp root=/dev/sda3 read-only optional append=" quiet" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.5-3mdksmp.img image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.6 label=246 root=/dev/sda3 read-only optional append=" quiet" So let's say this one is yours. Near the top of the file, you'll see your 'default' line to reflect which kernel image will boot by default (by what label it has). So if you wanted to boot to the latter kernel image, just have '246' in your default line. Like: default=246 Don't delete your old kosher kernel, just add the new one. Know what I'm saying? And don't forget to run lilo when you're done modifying your lilo.conf!

[expert] compiling new kernel, keeping old kernel, how?
Hello everybody, I want to start off by thanking everyone who uses this list, especially those who answered any of my previously posted questions. I would like to compile another kernel, and be able to boot from it. I have pretty much no problem on the "how" of compiling the kernel. My question concerns the fact that I have a system that is currently in VERY good shape, with very few bugs/problems. I would like to keep my current kernel, as well as all of its dependencies/etc., seperate (and left where they are) from the new kernel. I would like to be able to choose from lilo to boot either kernel A or kernel B (I know how to add to LILO no prob); I would like it that, in the event that the new kernel seems to be incompatible/cause problems with/break some of my software, that I can just delete the kernel, map file, the deps, LILO entry etc. (for this, perhaps a log of which files were installed would be helpful... where would I find it/how would I make such a file during the compile/install process?) from my system, and then, because I kept all the files needed by my current kernel in their own seperate directory, I would be back in business with my current, stable kernel running my system again. Can someone please either point me to a decent doc that details the instructions of such an install, or post a response that includes a nice detailed description of how to do it?

Hi Leif, I think (and I very well could be wrong here) that all the 'make install' does is copy over your newly created kernel image and system map over to your boot directory and, as you said, creates the new stanza in your /etc/lilo.conf for the new kernel image. So do you actually have a /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9 and /boot/System.map-2.4.9? It could be that it's just saying that stanza's label is 'linux' and points to /boot/vmlinuz, which in turn may be simply pointing to your old kernel image. I don't know -- obviously I'm just guessing here, but if you've got /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9, then you've got your new kernel. So what was the problem, anyway? Would it just not fully boot with the new kernel image or what? Perhaps I should have asked that question first.

Re: [expert] what options was my kernel compiled with?
/usr/src/linux is a link that points to the proper kernel source directory in /usr/src. Beside /usr/src/RPM, you should have a linux-2.x (replace x's with kernel minor version number) directory which contains the kernel source. The "linux" link should point to it., so you can do stuff like "cd linux" instead of "cd linux-2.4.0" There's no need to have the link. It's just a convention, for "cd linux-2.4.0", "make xconfig" works just as well. BTW, in the kernel source code directory there's a hidden file. It's called .config (do an "ls -l" to see it). It contains the configuration data for your kernel. Back it up so you can copy it to .config should you mess up! "make oldconfig" will install the default kernel parameters. They're taken from another directory/file, but I don't remember where offhand. If you know how to read a Makefile, do a "less Makefile" in the kernel source directory and search for oldconfig (/oldconfig). That should point you to where the original parameters are.

Re: [expert] binfmt-0000 frantically trying to load
I'm answering to my own post here. I went to runlevel 1 to check if the problem was present, but everything was working fine without binfmt or anything. So, i tried loading each one of the init.d services, and the problem appeared after loading qmail. So, i traced it to a corrupt file in my qmail installation, one of the "run" files for programs monitored by the supervise system. One thing about supervise is that it's really persistent, so when it found the corrupt file it just kept trying to load it anyway :) The file was just a very long line of CTRL-@ characters, which is just weird because it was just fine yesterday morning. The only event was a, umm, unscheduled reboot by a nosy person, so it maybe was corrupted in that moment, which would be weird too as the partition is reiserfs. After discovering it, i recovered and replaced the given file, rebooted and everything went just fine, and my cpu cycles started being wasted again :) --- Microsoft: Writing viruses has never been easier!

[expert] binfmt-0000 frantically trying to load
Hi. I have this weird problem. Since yesterday, when i did the system pre-test for kylix open edition (it detected the loader bug so i need to upgrade the glibc, it's among some of the updates that i haven't downloaded yet because of size, about 15-16Mb on a sucky connection), the system started showing very high CPU usage (top shows between 0.0 and 0.1 idle time) all the time. Checking, i discovered modprobe running all the time, but not consuming much cpu. I then did a check on the system logs, and found this (snip of log follows): Sep 20 13:40:01 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt- Sep 20 13:40:32 localhost last message repeated 442 times Sep 20 13:41:33 localhost last message repeated 828 times Sep 20 13:42:34 localhost last message repeated 692 times Sep 20 13:43:35 localhost last message repeated 432 times It's between 400 and 900 times per minute as i've checked. The fact that it's trying to load shows that maybe a program with a non-elf file format it's trying to load, but i don't see anything like that. It's poisoning my logs and using-up the cpu time i should be wasting :) Seriously, i haven't found the cause to this, so i'd appreciate any suggestions. --- Microsoft: Writing viruses has never been easier!

Ah, well, it looks like you're missing the most important part -- 'make
bzImage'. That is the step that actually makes the kernel. Give that
one a go and see what happens. I'm surprised the 'make install' step
doesn't fail. Shouldn't it be copying over /usr/src/linux/System.map
and /usr/src/linux/arch/{arch}/boot/bzImage to /boot? I'd imagine that
if those files don't exist and it exits without any errors, that'd be a
slight bug (IMHO).
Anyway, hope that helps,
-Charlie

[expert] repeating shell script
Hi all, I have a shell script here, that looks through my web server error log, and looks for ip's that have requested cmd.exe, default.ida, root.exe and Admin.dll. if it finds then, it blocks those IP's via ipchains, and writes the ip address's to a log.. if it is run again, it will only add new ones that are not already on the log... I would like to run this thing every minute or so... (no point blocking servers if they have already moved on) how can I get this script to run every two minutes or so?? (it takes about 50 seconds to scan the log and do the job, but only because my error_log is huge at the moment.) any suggestions??? regards Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] xsetbg fails on Mandrake 8.0
I recently installed Mandrake 8.0 and it is missing a feature I liked in
7.0. Namely, the Symmetrical Mirrored wallpaper background mode, on
KDE. So, I figured I just use xv to set my background image. This
appears to work at first, but, when you move or close a window, KDE
overwrites the xroot image with it's own background. I tried Gnome, but
the xroot image never appears. This xroot problem does not exist in KDE
that came with Mandrake 7.0.
I was unable to find a mode to allow the xroot image to be displayed.
Can this be done on either KDE or Gnome?

Suddenly, your Linux box is just as open as a Win9x system with full-access shares on the drive. Yes, it's true that the *.eml files won't cause any harm by themselves on your Linux system. However, I would be very curious to find out what would happen if someone (like a web designer, who must test a website under several browsers) ran MSIE under Win4Lin or VMWare, and then (accidentally?) opened such a file on their Linux partition. Would IE still execute it with the permissions of the user? Curious. Dave PGP signature
