Re: [expert] weird less problem
Just for info purposes,the problem with less was apparently caused by having the instruction : setterm -powerdown 30 in /etc/profile.i have no idea why that statement resulted in the symptoms I had ,but once I removed it everything was back to normal.Is there another way to shut off an inactive monitor from the command line?

Mandrake's hardware database lists both the mouse and the video card in question as being reported as compatible, but not actually tested.

Re: [expert] Problems with 8.1 RC1, Anybody else?
Plenty. I was lucky I got it to work at all, and only on the sixth try with RC1 and gobs of tries with the betas. Installer no longer lets you test X before proceeding to create an unusable /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and proceed to exit install step. Takes so long to boot that the screen goes blank before it finishes. Spends several minutes just locating dependancies. Supermount is fubar. /mnt has floppy and floppy1 and floppy2 files, & I only have two floppy drives. One of my login names makes the tty logging in on go to sleep and it can't be killed from another without a 5 minute wait. Network Connection Wizard came up on each of the first several boots, even though I tried to run it to completion each time. Looked like startx was allowed to proceed in runlevel 3 and didn't work too well that way.

[expert] Need help with postfix virtual domains
Hello all, I have a small server with virtual IP address, call them mainhost.com first.org second.org mainhost.com has an MX record in DNS; the other two don't. When I set them up a couple of years ago, I used qmail and was able to send/received from local user accounts under all three domains. I've upgraded to a new machine with LM 8.0, and found qmail would no longer accept mail to the virtual domains, but would send. I'm trying to use postfix, and have had some limited success with both "mainhost.com" and "first.org", but "second.org" won't receive mail no matter what I try. All the users are real users on the system, no virtual ones. I'm trying different things with /etc/postfix/main.cf. Can anyone outline what the difference is between myhostname, mydomain, and mydestination? Do I have to use /etc/postfix/virtual, or can I just modify main.cf? Any help is greatly appreciated.

[expert] supermount patch for non-MDK kernels
Hey,
I am and have always been a Slackware user, and I kinda
enjoy it. One think I miss is the supermount thing. The
supermount diff found on the net is for 2.4.0, and like
50 hunks are unsuccessful with k2.4.8, and I am a bit
too lazy to manually apply every hunk there is.
So, I was wondering, maybe one of the Mandrake developers
could send me a supermount diff that works with recent
2.4.x kernels, so I could apply it against my kernel?
Thanks in advance,
T.
PS. I've seen MDK8 and I must say I am impressed *grin*
Seriously. I think it's great for workstations or newbies.

[expert] Help with postfix and virtual hosts
Hello all, a couple of years ago I set up a small server with a few virtual IP address, sort of like: mainone.com -- has a MX record in DNS alternate.org -- has no MX record in DNS. I had set up qmail with virtual hosting and was able to send and receive email from accounts at "alternate.org" without a problem, although I remember it taking a while to figure out how to do it! Now I've replaced the machine and upgraded to LM 8.0, but I can't get qmail to work. Postfix seems a lot simpler to configure, and it works right with "mainone.com", which has the MX record in DNS. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to do virtual domains so that I can send/receive from "alternate.org" like I could with qmail, or do I have to get the DNS record changed for alternate.org to add an MX record. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[expert] iptables firewall
Machine details: Mandrake 8.0 Linux Version 2.4.3-20mdk 434MHz Intel Celeron (Mendocino) Processor, 256M RAM Network interface to Internet: eth0 Network interface to Intranet: eth1 Hi I am facing problem getting my iptables based firewall working. If I use only the /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall.inet_sharing-2.4 rules which were generated by mandrake's drakgw, NAT works properly. Here is what those rules do: begin rc.firewall.inet_sharing-2.4 #!/bin/sh # Load the NAT module (this pulls in all the others). modprobe iptable_nat # Turn on IP forwarding echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # In the NAT table (-t nat), Append a rule (-A) after routing (POSTROUTING) # which says to MASQUERADE the connection (-j MASQUERADE). iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE # Allows forwarding specifically to our LAN iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT # Allow dhcp requests iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p udp --sport bootpc --dport bootps -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp --sport bootpc --dport bootps -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p udp --sport bootps --dport bootpc -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp --sport bootps --dport bootpc -j ACCEPT # Allow dns requests iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p udp --dport domain -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp --dport domain -j ACCEPT end rc.firewall.inet_sharing-2.4 How ever if I use my own firewall with NAT enabled, it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong. Purpose of my firewall is to keep only ssh, http, https & smtp ports open to outside world. Keeping all the ports open to my intranet. But when I use my firewall, NAT doesn't work!

Re: [expert] Installation on a DEC Alpha 4000
Hi I've got an Alpha 500au WS running 7.1 and had an 1000. I am surprise than you cannot boot the CD. I can boot it on an Alpha 1000, 2100 and the 500 I use the srm. At the prompt you type the cdrom address with this option -fl 0 Ex >>>b dqa0,0,4,0 -fl 0 it should boot the CD. The next problem is not to forget to create a small 10 Mb fat partition, to copy milo and the kernel image. because if you use ARC to boot your box you will need a boot partition to boot from. Now from srm you should be able to use aboot, but I don't use it, then ???. The other thing to check is the image you're using. According the type of Alpha box the kernel is different ensue the boot floppy. The symptom for a wrong image can be a lockup, kernel panic ,or nothing !!. Let say you manage to install the system. Do not enable X at startup, you're better to stick to good old prompt for now. I had enough problem with X locking up all over the place. It is best to configure the system first. Another cause of lockup at the installation. The system wants to go graphic but the alpha does not like it. Now there is a flag at bootup to switch the installation in consol mode Hope that help a bit Andre John Haywood wrote: > > (If this doesn't classify as 'expert', then I dunno) > > I'm trying to install the Alpha version onto a DEC Alphastation 4000 (twin > processor, 512-meg RAM, 3 x SCSI cards, Storageworks array, 2 x NICs), using > the floppy images (this box doesn't boot from a CD-ROM), but each time it > halts after the second insertion of the root floppy (seq = root floppy, RAM > disk, root floppy), with a 'please try passing an init=' message at the end. > > Has anybody any advice on what parameter to feed to the kernel, and how to do > this from the SRM console at boot time? > > The alphalinux.org doesn't seem to be up at the moment, so please don't point > me there!! > > TIA > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] X version for S3 Trio3D?
I have various problems with X. It crashes periodically; there is a pronounced screen flicker on my monitor, even though I have forced the vert. refresh rate to 85 hz; I cannot get the DPMS (energy star) settings to work properly. Mandrake 8.0 installed the 3.3.6 version of XFree86 on my system. Since version 4.1.0 is also included with this distribution I cannot understand why this is so. Checking http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status28.html#28 I see that the S3Trio3D (which I have) is specifically mentioned as supported by 4.1.0, but not by 3.3.6 IIRC the Mandrake installer did not give me any option about which version to install; so - 1. why did it install the older version? 2. should I upgrade X? - and, if so, what is the recommended procedure?

Re: [expert] closing ports
The self-scan port page i vsitedis the one on the linux-mandrake web site under demos - internet sharing - ip masquerading. if you follow this demo, almost the very last page there is a link to the self scan page. that's teh one i used. for security reason i can tell you which ports the self sacan page told were open. tried using several ways to close them (linuxconf, etc) there still open. gory.org wrote: > What is the URL of the self-scan page, BTW? > > On Fri 21 Sep at 14:12:56 -0700 [EMAIL PROTECTED] done said: > > I visited the self scan page and there are some ports open. how to close > > ports?

What I would do (no guarantees that this will work) is just wipe it and reinstall it... rpm -e rpmdrake rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/rpmdrake-.rpm I can't remember if rpmdrake has been patched, so check MandrakeUpdate afterwards or go to a mirror and download and manually install any updates you find. -Eric -- arctic bears - email and name services 25 email addresses@yourdomain CA$11.95/month DNS starting at CA$3.49/month - domains from CA$25.95/year for details contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://www.arcticbears.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I also discovered since posting my message that kpackage still works. So I can still use rpm graphically (although rpmdrake is such a nicer interface); it therefore seems to be rpmdrake that's confused, rather than anything related to rpm itself.

Reiserfs was to blame (was Re: [expert] binfmt-0000 frantically trying to load)
On the ongoing saga of these problems, it seems like it's reiserfs the one to blame for this. I got a reiserfs kernel panic starting qmail today, so i backed up the /var/qmail tree, removed it and restarted it from the file. The given file (/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-qmqpd/run) was like last time, so i had to restore it again. It seems that those warnings about qmail and reiserfs were right. Posibly i'll get a new harddisk soon and probably upgrade to 8.1 when available, and when the time comes, i won't have /var in a reiserfs partition... BTW, will 8.1 come with XFS support? it seems like that one is much better than reiserfs. --- Microsoft: Writing viruses has never been easier!
