[expert] rc.local question
Greetings, Tonight I rebooted my machine (due to an electrical outage) and noticed that rc.local isn't functioning properly. Here's some detail: As part of my system startup, I start a system monitoring program. In /etc/rc.local I have the following line: /usr/local/bin/check >/dev/null 2>&1 & I know that rc.local is being run because I added some trace statements to it, i.e.: echo before >/tmp/status /usr/local/bin/check >/dev/null 2>/&1 & echo after >> /tmp/status Prior to 8.2, the program would start and run detached, just like I wanted. Now, in 8.2, the program isn't running. Any ideas why this isn't working any longer? Thanks. David Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I'd say we're both better off with Pureftpd, but I'll be damned if'n I kin figure out just how to configure for individual users apart from anonymous users. So far, I've noticed that Pure uses PAM for authentication which is awesome because you don't have to muck about with users permissions if they're already on your system. AND, if you need to add another user its spelled out rather clearly in the "virtual users" README setup. The part I'm a bit unclear on is how, without creating *new* users, we can setup "other" filesystems to make accessible to the ftp server without having to create a user that is connected to it. And I love the fact that it chroot, (jails) things by default, so there isn't any hair-pulling to get that taken care of. -- daRcmaTTeR -- Registered Linux User 182496 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

VIRTUAL USERS
Since release 0.99.2, Pure-FTPd supports virtual users.
Virtual users is a simple mechanism to store a list of users, with their
password, name, uid, directory, etc. It's just like /etc/passwd. But
it's not /etc/passwd. It's a different file, only for FTP.
It means that you can easily create FTP-only accounts without messing
your system accounts.
Additionnaly, virtual users files can store individual quotas, ratios,
bandwidth, etc. System accounts can't do this.
Thousands of virtual users can share the same system user, as long as
they all are chrooted, and they have their own home directory.
So a good thing to do before using virtual users is to create a system
user for this. Of course, you can use any existing account like "nobody"
(but not root), but it's better to have a dedicated account.
Let's create an "ftpgroup" group and an "ftpuser" user.
Linux/OpenBSD :
groupadd ftpgroup
useradd -g ftpgroup -d /dev/null -s /etc ftpuser
Then, all maintenance of virtual users can be made with the "pure-pw"
command. You can also edit the files by hand if you want.
Files storing virtual users have one line per user. These lines have the
following syntax :
:
Fields can be left empty (exceptions: account, password, uid, gid, home
directory) .
Passwords are compatible with the hashing function used in /etc/passwd
or /etc/master.passwd . They are crypto hashed with blowfish, md5,
multiple-des and simple des, in this order, according to what your
system has support fort.

RTFM on Pureftp and you got it licked.

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with NFS on Mandrake 8.2. Both the client and the server are running 8.2. I can succesfully mount the NFS file system but I can't cd to that directory.

What do you think? The dns resolver on the client end will randomly pick one of the "AUTHORITY" servers. The end result is that your server will still get on average 1/3 of the requests, so no, it's no ok. You need to remove that dns server from being listed as authoritative. Blue skies...

This is what's defined in /etc/modules.devfs: # RAMDISCs alias /dev/rd rd This means that when something attempts to access /dev/rd/*, devfs effectively sends a "modprobe rd" to the kernel, the kernel loads it, the module starts running, and the module creates the devices. The symlinks being created is being done in one of two places: 1) by the module loading (I don't think so) -or- 2) by the installer at boottime. In the case of #2, one of the configuration options of devfs is that it stores a copy of manual changes in /lib/dev-state. Change the symlinks in /dev and those changes should magically appear in /lib/dev-state. Then those changes should persist through reboots. > I've tried to look through the makedev files/devfs config files, but I'm > unable to find where the config would be to change these links just to disc0 > etc...

Also, you are away that you're limited to three bits with the Mylex driver, right? So the highest partition number you can have is 7.

took less than 10 minutes to download and install. Now I just look at a
travel dvd about Paris, France.
One thing bothers me a bit: When I start ogle from a terminal I see
lots of lines floationg by while the dvd is playing. Those are debug
messages about resyncing, framerates and stuff.
Can I avoid those by using a cli argument with ogle? They don't seem to
cause problems, though.

Re: [expert] Mandrake Timezone/Date Problems
> when a system drops to 'save energy sleep mode', then is awoke, > there should be a routine that checks for shutdown time from osc, I guess that would be more useful for laptops than desktops. I don't use laptops and have so infrequent access to them and am wondering if there's sufficient clock 'drift' on them compared to desktops, or even compared to smart clocks in other appliances. (i.,e there are smart clocks out there that pull time from WWV codes or whatever other trusted / reliabvle sources the technology supports) so you never have to reset them from a power outage. Personally, running ntp to a reliable host (aka tick.usno.navy.mil) like USNO atomic clocks or others is decent enough, and my clock doesn't drift that much. But for desktops it sounds like it would be easier just to run ntp more frequently; laptops are less likely to be connected to the network than desktops, and they are more likely to need a 'sleep' mode. Of course, if you want to be geeky, you could get your offset from your GPS receiver and ditch 'standard' time completely: the gps would figure your current mean sun time or what have you, correcting a mingte for each 17 miles travelled, all automatically :). > if linux is going to rule world, it is going to have to > wake up with world and tell correct time. Interesting point. When I first started using linux (1994?) it was the only OS I knew of (besides BSD) that would autocorrect for daylight savings. Prior to that, I had to set the DOS/windows clock twice a year. Nowadays, other devices (such as my VCR) autocorrect for DST; that's pretty modern technology. My microwave still has to be reset after a power outage though :(. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

That cuts off "local" almost totally with no advisement that it is doing so. You have to open ports like 109:111 for nfs in /etc/Bastille/bastille-firewall.cfg by placting them between the quotes on the line that says TCP_LOCAL_SERVICES="" And are you using the internet connection sharing? (probably not since it works the other way, with eth0 looking local and hard-wired to 129.168.0.1 and eth1 looking at the internat. And if you are using reiserfs on 8.0 the time lags on nfs are legendary, in the neighborhood of weeks after a short time of operation. That was a problem with the Reiser issued with that release.

[expert] unable to read write enabled floppy disk
I am using Mdk8.2
I can read a write protected floppy disk.
I cannot read from a write-enabled floppy disk. Nor ls the contents, nor
write to the disk.
This is the line in /etc/fstab :
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount
dev=/dev/fd0,fs=vfat,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,sync,codepage=850
0 0
The floppy mounts ok, but when I try to ls the floppy I get:
ls: floppy/: Input/output error
If I try: less -f /dev/fd0 :

plus some more stuff. I assume therefore that the hardware is working,
and that the disk is not corrupt (it works on a windows laptop).
If I try and cd into the floppy directory:
bash: cd: floppy/: Input/output error
Can anyone help please?
many thanks
