I'm working with Mandrake 8.1

and doing the setup from the desktop apparently works.

After on the client I give the command :

route add default gw my_ip_connected_pc netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1

but I cannot surf the web on the client

Thanks in advance

This is becoming the "burn from hell" session! Is your friggin iso
corrupted? Did you run a md5sum on it? Have you tried mounting the iso,
before you burn it, to see what it looks like. This is basic shit, and
you should be getting a nice burn with the command you are using at the
CLI...

BTW when responding to the list, cut out all the crap we do not need to
see again. As Joe Friday would put it, "just the facts, mam". (Well I
guess I have dated myself now)...

Apparently?   Do the md5 sumchecks match or not?

see man md5sum

If corrupted, the fix is easy and quick.  Just download again on top of
the existing file using rsync.  rsync will recognise that you already
have the requested file and will go into a special "update in place"
mode using tranmitted and received local sumchecks to identify the
necessary changes.

see man rsync

Frankly, Beta2 is a disaster.  RPC doesn't work, updates kill Python, 
and all sorts of packages are missing.  Beta3 is in much better shape, 
but unixODBC packages are incomplete...

No, you submit bug reports to www.mandrakexpert.com unless you want to 
go into exhaustive detail about the bug every single time in which case 
you write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to become an authorized bugzilla 
poster.  We had to close it because we could not spend the time to sort 
the bugs(signal) from the technical assistance requests(noise)   The 
ratio had become unworkable, like 4000 reports for less than 200 real bugs.

That'd be great.  Well, I copied the mandrake cd1 file to windows to do
it that way and the file is apparently corrupted.  :-(  But my
experiences with people on this list have become enough to me deciding
to buy 8.2 when it comes out.  Or at least get a cd version off of

There's always TinyX. I've used it on a 4MB 486 laptop and a 16MB 386 (see

Um...guys? there is a version of Mandrake that came out for the 486. It was
released as Mandrake 7.0 about a year or so ago. I'll check my arc's for the
postings refering to it, but I think you can find it on the Mandrake
download pages as well. Unless, of course I'm totally full of it, which
"has" been know to happen now and then.

[expert] [OT] Monitor tests

2002-02-25 Thread Sridhar Dhanapalan

I just managed to acquire a second-hand Sun 21" monitor (which are rebadged Sony
Trinitrons). I have a six-month warranty on the device, and I wanted to use that
period to try to make sure that the monitor is is in good and working order and
won't fall apart after the warranty has expired. Are there any 'tests' that I
can subject the monitor to? So far, I have connected it in place of my usual
(17") monitor and I am using it for my everyday work. I have also fiddled with
the controls so I could get a good picture, and I have viewed a few movies on
it. So far, so good.

I have noticed two fine lines going across the screen which I can't seem to get
rid of. I have heard that these are normal for Trinitron (aperture grille)
monitors. Is this true? The lines are barely noticable, so I can live with them
if they are not a sign of impending failure.

TIA

[expert] printer setting ????

2002-02-25 Thread richard

Hi , after the old hp720c died, purchased a lexmark z53 as it has linux
drivers..Apart from being a bit noisy works well on the winblows
machine.
on this machine runnning 8.1 with the drivers loaded, its not printing,
even though its says it is.
syslog is showing each time I attempt to print "lp0: incompatability
mode"

Should the par port in the bios be set to EPP or ECP, as that s the only
thing I can think of .??
Theres  a lack of info on the lexmark site, and nothing in the blurb
with it, apart from basic winblows stuff

if you don't need to know until tomorrow, you could try:


echo `grep eth0 /proc/net/dev | cut -c8-18`-`sleep 86400 ; grep eth0 /proc/net/dev | 
cut -c8-18` | bc

(for data in)

and

echo `grep eth0 /proc/net/dev | cut -c19-28`-`sleep 86400 ; grep eth0 /proc/net/dev | 
cut -c19-28` | bc

(for data out)

It'll give you a negative number, but the magnatude is correct.  I'm sure there 
is a more elegant way, and when someone sees this hack, I'm sure they'll pipe up!

Well, no new computers are being based on ISA legacy cards or bus, so 
don't expect a lot of development in that area. ISA was always pesky and 
hard to detect, and manual interrupt jumpers were great for geeks and 
fearsome for everyone else, and PlugNPray was about equally 
unsatisfactory for everyone. The tools are there to manage the system 
with some effort, but are being discontinued in newer systems (as a 
general trend). For example, some boot and install kernels no longer 
have modules to support the 1995/96 non-ATAPI CD drives that were 
attached to ISA sound cards.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. A mature 6.1 system can serve very 
nicely on those older machines with the 2.2.19 kernel and perform better 
than the more modern stuff which is oriented toward more resources than 
one can conveniently add to older machines. I remember 6.1 in service on 
a Shuttle motherboard with two fairly large disks being the fileserver 
backup and the internet gateway and the mailserver for 15 office 
productivity machines running 7.0 or 7.1 for about a year without one 
single second of downtime and no reboots. Needless to say, one will 
learn a _lot_ more linux on 6.1 than on 8.1, and that learning is forced 
if one wants to use it. Of course there is a barrier in terms of 
updates, but we still produce updates for 7.2 which will generally be 
adaptable to older systems with a little poking in the SRPMS to correct 
for the old, non-standard directory structures.

My advice: Don't bother. If you must create an open authentication SMTP

Re: [expert] adaptec ava 1502-a

2002-02-25 Thread Brian Schroeder

I was able to get an old Adaptec 1522 card and 2G SCSI disk a few years
back, which I put into a pentium machine.  I had all sorts of problems
getting it to work properly.  There seemed to be conflicts with the sound
card and with the network card. None of the problems jumped out at me
and said "here I am", most were worked out by examining the /proc files
and by trial-and-error.  I was able to get some documentation from Adaptec's
web site, and spent a lot of time moving jumpers on the card.

Ultimately this did get me there!  At install time, Mandrake didn't auto-
sense the card straight away, but when I told it that it was there, it did
see it and picked up all the settings properly (eg. IRQ) without me having
to tell it explicitly.

This route may be worth you trying.

For others only...  Reducing spam for yourself is a separate issue...  if mail is for 
you, your mailer is a "destination", so is not an "open relay" for those messages.  
Warning: if *your* mailer is an open relay and *I* get spam via it, my very first 
reaction is to submit your IP to http://ordb.org/submit/  (no kidding :^)

This will prevent your mailhost (open relay) from delivering any more mail to me or 
anyone else who verifies via relays.ordb.org...

Yes, absolutely!  Those of us who use the ORDB will be protected from every new open 
relay you report...  :^)

The important thing to realize here is that the sooner the open relay is reported, the 
sooner the spam is prevented for loads of other users...

Not as a relay (those are stopped by not being an open relay); it's the attempts to 
*deliver* spam that have gone way down...  it seems that as open relays get shutdown, 
the spammers are less and less able to deliver their trash.  This is a much better 
solution than trying to report spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED] where it may not be 
addressed at all because the ISPs are likely getting more spam reports than they can 
handle.

The pages are not yet polished; I work on my pages as I find time...  I'm open to

This is what needs some polishing; it jumps to the conclusion without benefit of 
analysis...  I usually look at all the "Received" headers and mentally picture the 
path the spam took...  often, the spammer was on a dialup and delivered the mail to an 
open relay which then delivers it directly to my machine.  On average, the machine 
that delivered to my machine is the open relay; but for good measure, I submit 
intermediate mail hosts.

OK...  for this exercise, read the rest of the message from the bottom working up...  
Here is a big picture summary of the path followed by this msg:
1. 209.63.151.3  qvp0002(unconfirmed)  (spammer)
2. email.qves.com who did not put its IP in the header
3. newmx2.fast.net who puts 209.63.151.19 in header; but believes the HELO content 
(email.qves.com) which happens to match #2 -- good; but don't trust names.  This host 
does not provide an envelope-sender to #4.
4. mailstore1.fast.net
5. you pick it up from #4.

#1 is the spammer, #3 is your ISP; only leaves #2 as the *possible* open relay...

I tried SNF a couple of months ago as well.
Had the exact same problem. Sorry to say that I (after 2 days) gave up.
I managed to resolve the ping issue, and get client machines on the
internet, but I couldn't get FTP, SMTP, or POP to go thru the firewall.

If you're looking for a dead dog simple firewall, router, etc. try:
www.bbiagent.net
I had it up and running in 30 minutes. Its linux, and free.

I love Mandrake, but I couldn't get SNF to behave. Maybe someone on the

[expert] Anyone know about SMTP after POP?

2002-02-25 Thread David Guntner

Hi,

I'd like to be able to allow a friend of mine who has an account on my ML
8.1 machine to use my SMTP server for sending mail.  I'm running Postfix and
the POP3/IMAP4 server package that Mandrake supplies in an rpm.

Obviously, I don't want to open my mail server up to wide-open relay.  Has
anyone set up a system where they can use a POP3 login to authenticate the
IP address for a few minutes, so that Postfix will accept the relay from
that particular IP address?  (Known, I believe, as SMTP-after-POP
authentication?)

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated!

Thanks for this (I'm going to put some of it on a WikiLearn page as a

reading your pages.  Questions embedded below and afterwards.

So, I think you're saying that if I'm running my own email server on the
Internet, I can make sure it's not an open relay, thus minimizing spam
for others (and myself).

However, even if I'm not running my own email server, I can still submit
apparent open relay sites to ordb for testing and possible
blacklisting.  (Right?)

Ok, now I understand -- the number of attempts to use your machine as a
relay have dropped to a few every couple of days.

I've looked at both these pages, and the first one should be useful to
me as I try to configure postfix for my (local) server.

I've reviewed the second, but I really don't understand what the key
characteristic is that let's you decide which header represents the open
relay.  Or, do you more or less "assume" it is one of the first three
and (worst case) submit the IPs from the first three received headers
for testing?

If that's the case, I understand.  If there is something more to look
for, how about looking at the headers below and tell me which (if any)
of the headers represent an open relay, and how you determined that. 
(Aside, I don't know that this came from an open relay, I just wanted an
example we could talk about.)

OK.  

From what package should I get the /etc/dev directory that is missing

Or should I create it by hand, and if so what links should I put into it.

As you can see, I must have been successful on deleting the link (since

So until I figure out how to disable whatever process that recreates
link ln, rm, etc will not help me.

 I've just gone through a similar situation with an AVA-1505 card.  It uses 
ioport 0x340 and irq 10 (or 11, can't remember just now).  Try this at the 
command line, as root:
modprobe aha152x io=0x340 irq=10   (try 11 if 10 doesn't work).

  On my AVA-1505 card, the above works and "lsmod" shows that the module is 
loaded.  If I then do a "modprobe sr_mod", I get to use my SCSI cdrom.

  I automate the loading of the kernel modules, by putting the two modprobe 
lines as the last two lines in /etc/rc.local.  That is the only way I've 
managed to get them to work; specifically, they won't work from an initrd.  
But I'm going to try the "append="aha152x=." route next and see what 
happens.  
 
  This SCSI card was not picked up by the installer for Mandrake 8.2 beta 2, 
nor did the installer allow me to manually configure the card.   A 
post-install manual configuration is the only way that works.

I have never yet come across a grammar checker worth its salt. non-N
American speakers of English (and I image Phil is just such) should be
aware that N Americans (the US is worse) teach that there is a fixed
set of "rules" of English grammar; unfortunately, they can't agree on
the rules and you find people educated in different places who have
different views on "the rules".

The grammar checkers I've encountered were evidently written by people
who believed this and who also seemed to feel that one should never
write for anyone with a mental age in double figures.

Re: [expert] devfs, hdc=ide-scsi (Mdk 8.1) and the symbolic link /dev/cdrom

On February 25, 2002, you wrote:

I don't have a directory or a file named /etc/dev.  Did you /dev?

Anyways, it is impossible for me to delete the link:

  peter:/dev > ls -la cdrom ; sudo rm cdrom ; ls -la cdrom
  lr-xr-xr-x1 root root   16 Feb 25 11:46 cdrom -> ../cdroms/cdrom0
  lr-xr-xr-x1 root root   16 Feb 25 11:48 cdrom -> ../cdroms/cdrom0

and trying -f to ln does not help either:  

  peter:/dev > sudo ln -s -f cdroms/cdrom3 cdrom
  ln: creating symbolic link `cdrom' to `cdroms/cdrom3': File exists

So my assumption was that devfsd really insists on having the link due
to a configuration option.

Delete the links in /etc/dev and redo the links pointing to the correct
/dev/cdroms/

I always use mc to cd to the correct dir and make the links. You could
just do the links via a command line:  
ln [OPTION]... TARGET [LINK_NAME]
ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY
ln [OPTION]... --target-directory=DIRECTORY TARGET...

[expert] Mandrake SNF

2002-02-25 Thread Belkie, Dan

Hey Guys!
I loaded SNF on a new box this weekend. (very cool little util from what I
can tell)

On the SNF:
I can ping www.yahoo.com, and it replies. (so I assume all is good
with the internet connection on that box.

On a client machine behind the firewall I set:
IP: 192.168.1.9
NetMast: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.10 (firewall IP)
DNS: 192.168.1.10 ( I have also tried a live DNS servers IP)

I can ping the firewall from the machine behind the firwall, but if I
try to ping www.yahoo.com it does not work. However I CAN ping live
internet addresses from behind the firwall without a problem.

Can anyone guess what im doing wrong??
I thought maybe the firwall just blocks pings from the inside to the
outside, but my browser does not seem to be able to surf the net.

(I can get to the web admin)

on another not, I cant seem to get the DHCP server of the firewall to
work either, but I assume that is another problem, but I thought I
would throw it in in case it might be connected.

Thanks ALL!

Dan

Hi guys!
Thanks for the help,

But im looking for something that can remotely back up data from windows and
Linux boxes. Maybe just a simple FTP? I need to automate it and would prefer
not to have to set up automated FTP clients on each box.

Right now I only need data from 4 or 5 boxes (4 windows and 1 Linux), but
need to be able to manage about 25 or so in the future.


Thoughts?

Look into rsync.  It's what I plan to use for a similar purpose.  I have
some information here, including (I hope) a link to the rsync home page.

If you find some better resources, or want to make some notes for others

I think thee problem is that hda is not set as the first boot device
in the BIOS but that hdc Is.
So either the BIOS setting needs to be changed or lilo needs to be
installed to hdc.
