After all, I never ate any of Hoffman's brew, and even he did not quite know what he had Dr John The Night Tripper (repost for those that missed it) His name is Augustus Owsley Stanley III, and he was the son of a Californian Supreme Court Justice.

Re: AW: [expert] samba and ACls in 8.2
Le Mardi 23 Avril 2002 22:07, J. Craig Woods a écrit : Sylvestre, I am not the poster that originally posted that Samba came without ACL support but my question to you still stands *UN*answered. Although you were unable or unwilling to answer the question, I asked a very simple question: where is this samba.spec file your refer to? While doing an install of 8.2, I chose to have Samba installed. Now, my installed has completed, and there is no samba.spec file. I realize that if, after my OS installation, I decided to build and intall Samba, I would then find a samba.spec file. BUT after doing a complete OS installation with Samba selected, where is the samba.spec file? I contend that there is no such file. So how would I know what --configure-with options have been used on Samba? If you want to check the configure options samba was built with, then you have to check out the spec file in the samba SRPM. sorry about that. You can also ldd on the smbd binary for instance, and check that libacl is properly linked: [root@ryu root]# ldd /home/rpm/rpm/BUILD/samba-2.2.3a/source/bin/smbd libacl.so.1 = /lib/libacl.so.1 (0x40029000) libcups.so.2 = /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 (0x4002f000) libdl.so.2 = /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4004a000) libnsl.so.1 = /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4004e000) libpam.so.0 = /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x40064000) libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4006c000) libssl.so.0 = /usr/lib/libssl.so.0 (0x401ab000) libcrypto.so.0 = /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0 (0x401d8000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000) The originator of this thread stated that no ACL support was compiled into the Samba that was installed while doing the system install. I think I hear you saying, yes, it was. Again, my question is very simple, how would I know what samba is compiled with since no samba.spec will exist on the system?

[expert] Need help on Grub/Lilo reinstall
Dear experts: I had a GIANT memory fiasco. Installed some corrupted memory (booted fine, BIOS mem check was fine) but upon booting into the OS, the system crashd about about 5 minutes later leaving my primary hard drive irrepairably coss-linked both clusters and files. The good news is that I booted into the M$ OS on hda and my LM7.2 is still safe on hdb. I will ultimately have to reformat hda which will wipe out my grub boot loader. I need some advise on how to re-install grub after I re-format and re-load the M$ OS on hda. I think I understand grub enough to configure it after I get it installed, I'm just not sure about how to get the code into the boot record. Specifically, I don't know if its lilo first, then grub or vice versa. Yes, I can rtfm, and I have. Yes, I know /sbin/lilo installs the boot loader.

Charles You are correct. My reply was too terse and unclear. By looking in this area of the dmesg the explanations are to set the ide channels to higher values by adding correct information to the booting sequence. I have mine set to force the speed for the hard drive, a maxtor ata100. In the lilo.conf, in the append line, I've added ide0=ata66 to force the seting.. Works for me.

It is the bus speed for all pci devices and can perform at no higher than 33mhz. AGP slots and ide controllers (both of which are also pci slots) overcome this by use of additional chips and instructions to increase their speed, but the baseline still will remain at 33mhz. That is why if your MOBO supports only UDMA66 you can still use udma100 or even udma133 hds but at no higher level than udma66 unless you make use of an add-on controller card which contains the necessary chipset and instructions to provide for udma100/133.

Re: [expert] How to install Win98, RH 5.1 Mandrake 8.1 ??
Here's how I'd do it. first, take out the 10 gig drive. install win 98 on the 40 gig as the first partition (say 10gb). second, take out the 40gb drive, and install the 10gb drive. third, install rh 5.1 on it. fourth, reinstall the 40 gb drive as primary master, w/ the 10gb as primary slave fifth install LM 8.2 (not 8.1) on the 40gb drive, usings its boot loader to install on the 40gb drive, having it boot 98, LM 8.2, and being able to load the lilo for RH 5.1 on the 10gb. But I haven't had to do this at all, so I can only guess this would work (in theory).

Re: [expert] Quad processor and Mandrake
hahahahaha... disappointingly easy somehow doesn't come to my mind when it is easy. :) Well I got it home today. My wife was most displeased.

It has two DPT raid controllers! Another 2740 to run the cdrom drive. Apparently it is old enough that it wont' boot to the cdrom, but hey, for free I'm more than happy to boot with floppy!! :) I'm so excited. This is great! Now to find the time to set it up.

I found two Compaq Professional Workstation 5000 series at a local Charity store which had been picked by thieves, and on the day of the month when everything was 50% off I bought both. One had a dead mobo and was missing the CD and had 128M RAM. The other had a dead power supply and was missing the SCSI HDD and had 32Mb of RAM. Between them I picked up working Matrox Mystique 220 and an old ELSA 3D PCI card. One processor was loose in one case anfd the working Mobo had the processor 1 ZIF zocket lever missing. I found two PPro 200 512K cache matched step processors and put them in, jammong the faulty ZIF socket shut, put together one working machine with an IDE, a SCSI-3 drive and a DVD (turned out the CD was a DVD) drive, dropped in Mandrake 8.2 installed and did not even get asked if I wanted the UP or SMP kernel. I added a UP boot later so I can run on one processor in case my technique of closing the damage ZIF socket proves faulty, but it came up with SMP kernel from the install and was happily running both processors. My RAID was a software RAID0 between the SCSI-3 and an IDE drive, just to see if I could stress the comp and its filesystems. Everything is still working and the speed is better than my K6-2 350.
