Maybe this isn't what you are looking for, but . . . 

xpp knows how to print jpg files (don't know about tif's). have you
tried that?

This may be the key.  I've got an Asus mobo with intel chipset i815 I
believe (Celeron CPU).  In my case winninetyweight and Mandrake8.1 both
don't see the mouse when I go through the switch.  Actually gpm does if I
activate it, but it only see's it in the sense that the cursor sits in the
upper right corner.  If I move the mouse it blinks various areas of
highlight on the screen, generally making a useless nusiance of itself.

[expert] Photo Printing

[Ric Tibbetts]

Ok, I'll try changing the question.
Since I can't seem to get gimp to print (it processes the pic, it just
never seems to send it to the printer. I'll take suggestions on that
too).

Is there another package out there that can print photos? (tif files
usually).
Currently, I have to reboot into windows to do this.
The set up detected the printer just fine, and I ran a test print (the
photo), and it came out great. but gimp refuses to send anything to the
printer. So bag that.

I know the printer works. I just need a graphics package that will allow
me to print photos.

Any suggestions?

TIA!

Re: [expert] kvm switch

[Tim Holmes]

I have a Belkin OmniView, or OmniCube.  (I'd crawl under the desk to look
but it's dark down there, and well... I'm lazy! lol)

I've not had a problem with the scroll wheel for my mouse.  I have a
Kensington Expert Mouse Pro.  The only problems I've had, has been with a
Mandrake 8.1 box that I used to have on the KVM.

I currently have:

FreeBSD
Mandrake 8.0
Solaris
Windows2K Professional

The Solaris box has it's own keyboard and mouse, so maybe that's a bad
example, but it is hooked up to my monitor.

But the other three use the mouse wheel with out incident.

Personally I love the switch I bought.  I've suggested it a number of times,
and other friends have bought them for home use as well.

Sounds like the reverse to me ... that he got permission from his
employers to add entries to the corporate DNS server, pointing at his
home LAN.

ok, I'm stumped.  I have the same switch only in the two port version and 
my wheel won't work - are you sure you didn't do anything at all to enable 
it?

There is Ximian Gnome for Mandrake 8.1, and it comes with Mozilla 0.9.7 . It's an overkill just to get mozilla, but it also updates other software.
I don't know if that helps.

I actually did download the source, build and install it.  I got it from the 
djbdns website.  The source is strikingly bereft of 
documents/intructions/readmes.  I made it without difficulty and installed 
it, and it even created the proper accounts.

I haven't used it yet.  I intended to start playing with it once I managed to 
get tinydns up and running properly (my IP address remains the same for long 
periods, but that is dependent upon how late I get to work/school, how many 
others are on, etc, since it is DHCP-based.

For the moment the default DNS servers are from the registration body 
(eName).  I have the capability to alter them, I just haven't gotten there 
yet.  I am trying to work out what, exactly, I need to do (or if running 
tinydns is part of it at all).  It may be as simple as getting my local 
network guys to put me in their servers...but I am about to move to another 
location soon with a DHCP network there too.  I had hoped to have a mobile 
solution.

Re: [expert] Mailserver and dhcp

[David Rankin]

Well., it depends:

If his host (edomains) is using IP forwarding to direct people to his domain,
and, Praedor has to tell edomains what IP to forward his domain to, then yeh, I
think there is a problem. My setup is similar (but with a fixed IP). I have a domain
and my host provides IP forwarding and sets the MX record on information I supply to
the host to direct the world to my server. I run BIND 8 as a caching only DNS on my
side so I'm not propogating my domain/IP out to the master DNS servers. That's what
my host does. If Praedor has to provide his host with this same information, then I
don't understand how his local DNS will be able to change the IP forwarding
relationship that was initially set up with edomains.

I'm still learning though, so If I'm really missing something here, please feel
free to flame me. I guess if Praedor simply registered his domain and is not relying
on anyone else to provide IP forwarding and MX record updates, then a "full blown"
DNS run locally should do the trick. (That just means port 53 is hanging open
permanently)

David,

As stated earlier, I do not use tinydns (or whatever is is called) but
in my effort to purvey some assistance to Praedor, I have suggested that
he simply run his own name server. With this method, he could keep his
ip info current in both the master zone and reverse lookup zone. He
could as well keep the MX resource record up to date. Do you see a
problem with this approach?

[expert] Mozilla 0.9.7 for mdk 8.1?

[Steve Kieu]

Hi

I am looking for mozilla-0.9.7 for mandrake 8.1 ; if
any one knows where or compiled it sucessfully from
cooker source pls let me know. I try to compile from
source but it gave me segmentation fault when it
nearly finshed the compilation. And binary package
from cooker depends a lot of other package that I dont
want to install. It is critical, as I heard that the
versions < 0.9.7 have security bug...

Thanks a lot

Yes...  *BUT*...  the reporting device must be configured to log with this
facility...  Jose reposted some of my earlier comments which should
help...

Think of it this way (all from memory :^):

1. logable event occurs
 
2. event log entry gets sent to logging host (may be same) with:
   facility:  (kinda like a port number)
  auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, kern, lpr, mail,
  news, syslog,  user,  uucp
  local0-local7
   priority:  debug, info, notice, warning, err, crit, alert, emerg
   message:  some string

3. logging host determines which (if any) log file(s) to post the message

4. it gets logged...  with the logging host's date, time, etc.  If the
reporting host want to log the time, it must include in the text of the
message.

Ok. I believe what you want is:

(If you are in front of host1)

To sync files from host1 to host2:

cd yourdir
rsync -avuze /usr/bin/ssh . user@host2:/dir/

To sync from server2 to server1:

cd yourdir
rsync -avuze /usr/bin/ssh user@host2:/dir/ .

In other words:
rsync [options] srcdir [user@]host:destdir

rsync [options] [user@]host:srcdir destdir

Hope this help.

Re: [expert] Mailserver and dhcp

[David Rankin]

Praedor;

I'm not sure I understand, but..

I think the issue here is getting your domain name host, edomains if I recall,
to update the IP associated with your domain name when you get a new IP
address assigned. It doesn't matter if you update your local DNS on your box
with the new dhcp IP when it changes because the rest of the world will still
be resolving your domain to whatever IP the domain name register was
forwarding your domain to when it was last updated. I would check with
edomains (or whoever your host is) to see if you can change your IP forwarding
and MX record by script. If so, your in business. The only downside is there
may be a bit of lag time between the changes made and decimination of that
info through the primary DNS system.

Hi Frank,

You might try 'rsync -vve ssh  ' and see if that works for
you.  Or you can add -r for recursive functionality.

Re: [expert] syslog and remote machines

[bascule]

so, looking at this example and reading 'man 3 syslog' which tells me:
 facility
   The  facility  argument  is used to specify what type of program is 
logging the mes­
   sage.  This lets the configuration file specify that messages from 
different facili­
   ties will be handled differently.
---snip---
 LOG_KERN
  kernel messages

   LOG_LOCAL0 through LOG_LOCAL7
  reserved for local use

it would appear that 'local' is sort of like a reference number or a tag that 
can be defined by me and that i can use up to 8 different ones?

the question remains, the man pages don't give an example of how use 'local' 
in /etc/syslog.conf to set the facility for a host, and if i do does this 
mean that all messages from say, my ftp box will lose their identity as 'ftp' 
or 'kernel' messages and now be simply 'localN' messages?
i'm trying to sound as though i know what i'm talking about but i suspect i'm

Configure your cisco router with the following:

no logging buffered <-- logs to server rather than in memory
logging trap debugging  <-- sets level of events to log (debugging = all)
logging facility local6 <-- sets facility
logging 192.168.1.123   <-- logs to host 192.168.1.123

Then, in your syslog host:

/etc/syslog.conf:
# Cisco logging
local6.*  /var/log/cisco  <-- I use /home/logs/RouterLog
  to avoid filling /var

Forgot to mention that the above log file must exit before restarting the
daemon; can be created with:  touch /var/log/cisco (assuming that's the name you
used in syslog.conf...

Note:  localN in cisco must match localN in syslog.conf

Make sure syslogd is installed; then in /etc/init.d/syslog's start section:
daemon syslogd -m 0 -r 
^^  add this or it won't work.

Restart syslogd with:  service syslog restart

stripes the drives at the hardware level and the partition is created on top 
of that.

In my case, I've got an Abit KT7-Raid mobo with an onboard HPT370 raid 
chipset.  Although I can "raid-0" a dos partition perfectly, Mandrake 8.0 
Linux was unable to see an HPT370 Raid array, and I was "forced" to go to 
software raid.  Which was not really a problem, since I've been doing that 
for the last three years anyway.

I've seen nothing to make me believe that the HPT370 array I have is natively 
recognized by Mandrake 8.1 kernel.  Somebody please tell me different if they 
know something new.  I certainly don't berate my status quo, since software 
raid outperforms hardware raid; the matter is of academic interest only.  The 
upshot here is that in your situation, I think you're in the same boat as I, 
since the above devices don't seem to be advertising native raid support 
within the kernel.  The situation may change for you if you check the 
manufacturer's websites for driver info.

The Mandrake 8.1 install routine allows for setting up a raid array in the 
partitioning section of the install routine.  This is probably the easiest 
method I've ever seen for setting up a raid array.  I still prefer using 
fdisk and setting the partitions up manually, setting them to type "Linux 
raid autodetect", and then setting the boot partition to what it needs to be.

Well, your install script is not creating all the files it should as it
is obviously getting called.  You might try building djbdns from source
and I think you'll have better luck (but it doesn't come with an init
script, so you might want to hang onto yours if you want to use it).  Or
try someone else's djbdns RPMs.  Just out of curiosity, where did you
get yours?

Actually, I think you'd want to use dnscache for doing your local stuff.
Here's a paragraph from the front page of djbdns.org:

---
Tinydns does authoritative nameserving via UDP only; it does not do
recursive nameserving, nor does it answer TCP queries (axfrdns does
that). The only hosts that should ask tinydns for a host are recursive
nameservers, such as those found in /etc/resolv.conf, like djbdns or
bind. Tinydns should never be listed in /etc/resolv.conf. Tinydns
interoperates properly with every authoritative and recursive nameserver
I know of, and supporting all the standards needed to do so.

Hrm, you've got me here.  I don't know anything about dhcp-dns, but I
was simply commenting on your having the IP of the box on which you were
running tinydns listed in your /etc/resolv.conf.  I'll have to take a
look at dhcp-dns though as I might be able to use that too.  How do you
like it?

Ok, so you've registered your own domain and you're just wanting to run
your own services, right?  I'm just not familiar enough with this part,
but you had to list two validated DNS servers when you registered that
domain, right (your ISPs DNS servers?)?  How are you going to get your
machine who's assigned an IP dynamically to be authoritative for that
domain if it's not either of the ones listed in your whois info?

The message means that umask is part of the bash man page. Do a 'man

I have the lower end 4 port model, unfortunatly, and it does just a

run exists in the /service but not in root and not in env.  The install

RE: Re: [expert] What firewall to use in MDK 8.1

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Well; What are you default rules for your firewall, sensibly they should be something 
like this:

iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP

This will close all inbound connections to your box. (Be carefull not to enter this 
from the command line if you are mounting NFS, I did and it locks your machine!) We 
now need to flush all existing rules by doing:

# flush the NAT tables
iptables -t nat -F
# flush filter table
iptables -F
# flush user-defined rules
iptables -X

Set up masquerading:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

Allow the loopback interface:

iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

Allow internal ethernet i/face:

iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT

Set up those already established inbound/outbound requests,

iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i  eth0 -o ppp0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j 
ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -o eth0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j 
ACCEPT

Do the icmp bit:

iptables -A OUTPUT -p ICMP --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -o ppp0 -p ICMP --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT

Now set up the rules for those services you want to open. Do some firewall reading for 
that. As I said, I am not an expert, but I understand the basic, If anyone can add to 
thisyour welcome. But I would be suprised if the port 139 was still open from the 
exterior.

Have you been able to get the wheel to work though?  I've bypassed the 
mouse port on the switch as others have suggested to get the use of my 
wheel, but when I run the mouse through the switch the wheel stops 
working.

LOL... yeah, I guess I should've been more specific.  There's almost 
always going to be an answer relative to the amount of money you want to 
spend.

[expert] Problems during system reboot

[Sedat Yilmazer]

Hi

 I have a Mandrake 8.0 running on a Compaq Deskpro EP with 4.7GB HD and
64MB RAM. 

 After a cold start it boots up ok, but if I do a reboot it goes down,
starts booting again but dies at HDD check as seen below. If I power it
down and then up, it starts booting againg without any problems.

 Is there a parameter to set to enable rebooting a Compaq Deskpro EP?

James,

Would you be so kind as to explain what you are saying here. I am not
sure if you are saying you had to get permission from your employer to
run your own name server at home. I think I am missing something here,
and this has engendered a degree of curiosity...

Thanks,

[expert] Printing to a USB Printer from Gimp

[Ric Tibbetts]

This is not fun. ;)

I have an Epson Photo 785EPX printer.
It prints just fine. Except when I try to print from Gimp (of course, it
will print text just fine, but try to pring a photo quality pict...
HAH!).

Ahem.

What I'm seeing in the logs is:

<->
Jan 31 00:11:07 darkstar kernel: hub.c: USB hub found

Jan 31 00:11:10 darkstar /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no drivers for USB

<->

So it detects it, then seems to drop it. BUT: I can still print from an
"lp" command. I don't get it. What am I missing here?

Thanks!
