[expert] /dev/dsp ownership
On LM8.1 (with devfs) it seem that the first person to login and use the audio device /dev/dsp gets ownership of it with crw-- permissions, which seem correct to me. However, on logout, the ownership is retained and the next person to login can't use the audio device - even if they are in the audio group. I assume this is related to devfs. Is there a workaround for this (I'd like to retain devfs if possible)? More importantly, has it been fixed for LM8.2? I can live with it for a while if it has. Thanks, Nick.

I'd also like to add the following: ReiserFS apparently works best with a single partition, so the single / is not only easier, but probably most efficient for a home user. This does make upgrading a little more difficult though, since the /home partition cannot be formatted separately. For a server I try to allocate a large /var partition because logs and rpm files go there. If this was on the root partition and filled up it could bring down your system. Also, databases sometimes put their files there (e.g., mysql in /var/lib/mysql). Another thing to look into is the LVM system (Linux Volume Manager). It's a logical volume manager similar to Veritas that lets you dynamically allocate space. On Wednesday 27 February 2002 02:26, you wrote: Can anyone point me to a cookbook doc on partitioning?

Re: [expert] Optimum partitioning
One thing that almost all machines do, that often gets over-looked, is upgrade from time-to-time. Installing a new version of the OS or a different OS is always best done from scratch and of course you will backup before doing this, but you might be able to save some time if your own data in /home, /var/some/apps/stroage/path, /usr/local and /opt is kept in different partitions to the system stuff in /usr and /etc for example. If all goes well you won't need to format these partitions and restore this data - some applications in /opt and /usr/local may no longer be compatible, but they might be okay. You might choose only one of /opt and /usr/local; I have my own rules which mean I end up with both (smallish stuff in /usr/local, big applications in /opt/appname Nick.

Should /usr/local and /home be on the same partitions, separate ones? If its just your home PC then it dont hurt to make one '/' root partition and just let it all live it there. May not hurt, but only until you find yourself reinstalling, for whatever reason. Reinstalls are much easier when you don't need to scrap your /home. Make a separate partition for /home, and if using Grub to boot, make a separate partition for /boot as well. So, at a minimum, you want 1-swapspace, 2-/home , 3-/, and maybe /boot. If your Linux will be sharing a PC with other operating systems, I highly recommend Linux logical swap, / or /boot partitions be the first logical partitions on a drive, /dev/xdx5, /dev/xdx6 and /dev/xdx7. This avoids any need to emergency boot to fix /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst if you later alter your disk structure, such as resizing, creating and moving with Partition Magic. Space towards the start of a HD is the fastest, so that's where you should probably prefer your OS and program binaries to be located. Partitions are also faster if you don't let them approach filling up. This means you probably should allocate around 3 Gb minimum to / if keeping everything except /home and /boot on one partition. That way you should be able to keep your / from getting much more than 50% full right away. -- Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways. Psalm 128:1 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Re: [expert] Measurable Firewall Rules
I think we may need a little more clarification on what is wanted. It seems to me that what is being asked is: * I have three sets of things: a firewall, a server, and a bunch of clients. * both the server and the clients are behind the firewall * how do I set up the firewall to permit access to the server and still protect the clients? So far the answers seem to be addressing a different question that could be stated like: * How do I configure a machine to be a server and a firewall? Not the same thing For instance, for servers you need to permit incoming port 80, for clients generally not... It would appear that the firewall rules need to be aware of the destination IP address as well as the ports Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Mail server on home LAN
| Hello, | | I'd like to set up a mail server for two users on my home LAN. I have a | mail account at my provider and I created two aliasses. Now my questions | are: | | - Can I configure sendmail to send mail to the SMTP server of my ISP? You can set up the mail client to send through your ISPs mail server other wise, you can send mail through your local machine, if you have it running. If you're going to run a mail server then just send from your local machine. As long as it has an IP address with reverse look ups, then this is a very viable option. | - Is it possible use fetchmail to retrieve th email from my ISP and | process it with procmail (I 'd like to create two mailboxes on my LAN | and deliver the mail, depending on the alias, in the right mailbox.). With out a doubt. This is how most people go about downloading their mail. that way they can filter is with procmail or some other filtering agent. | - Where can I find info on setting up such a 'mailserver'? Check out man pages, or use config tools: man procmailrc http://www.procmail.org/ man fetchmail fetchmailconf (Must be done as root) | - If you can point me to the right direction, I would be very happy... You can set up your /etc/fetchmailrc by hand, as I have done, or you can use fetchmailconf to create it. Here's a quick example of how to set up fetchmail: set postmaster postmaster set nobouncemail set no spambounce set properties # This line is set if you're have fetchmail running at start up. # Tells it how often to run the daemon. set daemon 120 # Tell it where to look for the mail, and it's always good to tell # it the IP address of the mail address, of course the 10.10.10.10 # is just for example. poll mail.server.net via 10.10.10.10 with proto POP3 # Now give it user information. user 'userID' there with password 'passwd' is LOCALuserID here options fetchall warnings 3600 antispam 571 550 501 554 If you have more then one mailserver, you can then start over at the poll line, and add another mail server. None of this should take long in setup, or be too difficult to put in place. Procmail has a mailing list. It's gotten to be pretty good, so yo can check there for help if you can't find it on this list. Also check this link out, it can be pretty helpful. http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/ I've set up, and/or installed all of the above, feel free to email me directly if needed. Lastly, a very useful tool for gathering help: IRC. Check out www.openprojects.net/. Check out a IRC client, and logon to the #mandrake, and #mandrakeguru channels for help. There's often somebody there that can help, or at least make you think they can help! :') Hope this helps. tdh -- T.

Hello, I recently upgraded an 8.0 box PII-300 to 8.1 on a P4-2GHz. There are two problems. 1. When I try to load xemacs, it takes around 20 seconds to come up. This did not happen with 8.0 and it does not happen with emacs. 2. When I try to play some mpeg-1 files with mtv the video is jerky as if it was captured with a slow disk. Again, this does not occur in 8.0 on other systems. It makes me want to return to 8.0. Any ideas? TIA, -sen Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Have you checked out the free DDNS service at no-ip.com? They have a Linux

If you can't send something, that is an entirely different problem. That's a problem relating to postfix, not qpopper.

Of course, any messages that you might have from postfix under /var/log would also be helpful to give you more specific advice.

Re: [expert] formatting with ext3, Reiser
Jon, Yes, ext3 is a journalising fs and so are Reiser and XFS. Like everything in Linux, you have LOTS of choices, but all seem to work well, although you see the usual religious arguments over their relative merits. AFAIK, ext3 is as good a choice as any. Regarding the hang on USB shutdown...this is a known problem. Here's the fix copied from the errata page at Mandrake.com: Error scenario: The computer locks up when shutting down or when stopping the usb service. Why: In certain cases, the usb-uhci module is broken for some usb devices. Solution: Modify your /etc/modules.conf file and change the line alias usb-interface usb-uhci to alias usb-interface uhci. The change will take effect after the next shutdown and will prevent the usb service from locking up the computer. It worked for me!

Various sources will tell you that the NFS thing with Reiser is now fixed, but I have yet to see a definitive answer that says from this release xxx, it's fixed and certified. There have been lots of threads about which is best for what, but they all seem pretty damn good, so the old if it works for you be happy rule seems to apply. cheers Brian I thought ext3 was Reiser, no? Isn't ext3 a journalising file system? I have two drives formatted with ext3, which according to that HardDrake program is a journalising system. What am I missing here? Iquit running Linux for a while after running it for a couple of years because it was driving me nuts with all the niggling little problems I was having. I went to Windows 2000 and in a year and a half had only about 3 crashes. That's pretty damn good. This time I was determined to get everything working in Linux and so far it's coming along ok. It's taken 3-4 reinstalls to get things right, but using ext3 has helped because my system hangs on shutdown every time right after it shuts the USB ports down. With this system I don't have to wait 20 minutes for a filesystem check. In any case, I would love an explanation of the differences if you know, or where to go to find them.

[expert] Incompatibilty between Sis 900 ethernet card and kernels 2.4.x??
Hi I'm in the way of use a Linux MDK-8.1 box to route to a wirelees connection and to firewall it. So, I try to emulate it at home with 3 machines... I use one machine as a client, other one as the router-firewall [with two ethernet cards a Sis 900 and a Davicom] and the other one as the machine on the server of the company. The fact is: The client machine can ping to the router-one, and this machine can ping to the one who is not seen in the server. The joke is: The client should ping to the server through the router machine so I have to implement a router and a gateway to that machine. Here comes the fun!!! I've tried with MDK 8.1 and MDK 8.2 and in both cases when I ping from the client to the router one to the IP of the external eth I get an error like connect: Network does not exist or something like that. However, when I ping from the client to the router to the IP of the internal eth I get NO ERRORS The fact is : Is there a conflict between the eth SiS 900 and the kernel or is just a bad conf problem???

[expert] Security problem with PHP
There doesn't seem to be a list or address to report things like this directly to Mandrake. I'm posting this here in the hopes that one of the Mandrake employees on the list will forward it to the appropriate people within the company. http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/012002.html is the actual announcement of the problem. The version of PHP that I've last gotten from Mandrake is 4.0.6-5. The current release version is 4.1.2, and it's being recommended that sites using PHP upgrade to that version, which closes the exploit. There's a story about the problem at http://news.cnet.com/2100-1001-847092.html that discusses the problem a bit. If one of the employees who are on this list would forward this information to the right people at Mandrake, it would be appreciated. --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

(in fact it does it rather well I might add) The biggest limits are, installers that need 64 megs of ram, poor memory management in coding(the original Star office anyone), and the wait for kernels to compile (I cheat and throw the drive on a faster box) why not iptables... it doesn't take an Athlon 1800xp to run nat. I've got a p75 with 16 megs of ram working as my firewall. Since I rolled my own on that one I've got a 2.4 kernel and more running just fine. (hardly ever swaps even with the low mem.)
