[expert] Mdk as Server OS ?
Hi Folks, this request might be off-topic, but might not be. For years now - I have always used Mandrake for Desktop Usage - always bought the boxes, but RedHat for my home server - download edition. However - RedHat has become quite bad IMHO, especially the versions 8.0/9.0 are quite ugly for an old Linux-user who started with kernel 0.9x, and especially their company policy regarding customers the OS movement. The reason I'm asking - is that I actually love the script based up2date package, and the 7.3rh version - however - every month filling out their questions etc. to get my demo-account active - is getting on my nervs. I would pay for it - but don't know if paying for that, they will make as M$ - stop support for the old versions etc. letting me hanging in the rain. So - what I require - is a Server operating system that is not using any X-Interface for it's configuration. I would do everything by hand too - but don't care if a curses-based UI exists. I also require an automated Update system in place (I had written back in time one for automatically updating RPM's, similar to up2date from rh), but it would be nice to have that maintained by the distribution owner. Now - I do have a fairly well knowledge of Mandrakes capabilities, and for my Desktop - I have no problem using it. However - a Server means for me, that all my backups are going on it, it has to be reliable, needs to be secured - and the system needs to be supported for at least a year or 2. Mdk has gone the way of often updating the distribution - which is great as long as I don't use it for my server... but I don't know as of yet of an automated Security-fix installation option for mdk... I had done my own operating system back in time - and could do it again, but I'd first like to see if I can avoiding reinventing the wheel ... Anyone has a RPM based distribution to propose - that is up to date, stable, light and easy to maintain ? Preferably free, but I'm also willing to pay for it, if it's worth the money... I would like to keep the RPM based distribution, as I have a very long experience with RPM's (MD5 Checksums and PGP Signatures where actually contributed from me to RedHat by the time of RedHat 2 beta), and I usually also like doing RPM's, but don't like the way Debian packages are done (reason I staid with RPM). I'll have a new Server end of next-week, a Lex Light THIN Client 533 MHz 860A-3R53 Fan-less with 3Lan 10/100MBits, 1WiFi port, 256MByte Ram and 40GBytes Harddrive - barely bigger than an A5 format mini-computer - so I'll have something to play with... So - any hints/tips welcome ...

Of course, the CPU is rated higher than this board will do so it should be able to deal with any overclocking I do. Perhaps the AGP bus has problems?

Re: [expert] Problems after bios upgrade
Praedor, Is the bios set to auto detect? Another thought is you might have a weaker power supply than is needed- I ran into that a few times with new cpus. I don't think the kernel would cause your problem- it has to be a hardware configuration/bios setting. What bios did you say you flashed to? I think I have 5.6 on my ultra 2 (I'm presently on the Abit, so I'd have to change systems to check my bios). I'm pretty sure you can set the FSB in the bios under a specific section- I forget which at the moment. One quesion: Is your 2700+ a 266Mhz, or 333Mhz cpu?

I already know that if I simply select Load high performance defaults the system becomes unbootable - and I think it bumps the FSB to 133. I'll try again this evening. My memory should be able to deal with anything I do with this board, as it is rated for 333. My HDD is new enough that it should be able to deal with some variation in the PCI bus. Of course, the CPU is rated higher than this board will do so it should be able to deal with any overclocking I do. Perhaps the AGP bus has problems? One of the first things I tried after failing with high performance defaults was to simply set the multiplier to 15, which should have given me 1500 MHz on the CPU vs its current 1300 (for an XP1500+) but it refused to even post. I am not averse to underclocking my CPU for a while but it would be nice to be able to underclock it to a point NEAR the CPU's rated speed. praedor - -- Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense. -- Chapman Cohen Fingerprint: D170 2A02 B426 6AA0 5E68 3EDC 68AA FDB0 961E 4F18 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+5d5baKr9sJYeTxgRAmyCAJ9iEvvRX7uRuoPeM+qqfetl/a15gwCeKb4G kiwFXf/O4ORd1R1lY8VCrL4= =bzke -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

that all my backups are going on it, it has to be reliable, needs to be
secured - and the system needs to be supported for at least a year or 2.
Mdk has gone the way of often updating the distribution - which is great
as long as I don't use it for my server... but I don't know as of yet of
an automated Security-fix installation option for mdk...

I use Corporate Server 2.1 on all my machines. It's stable, secure, and

It's not free, but it works extremely well. CS2.1 is based on Mandrake
9.0+updates. It does the job very well here.

[expert] New Con Kolivas 2.4.21-rc7 kernel patch
For those interested, there's a brand new Con Kolivas -ck1 patch against kernel 2.4.21-rc7. I just tried it on Mandrake 9.1, and so far so good, except no supermount (if one cares). I just applied the 2.4.21-rc7 patch to 2.4.20 source (did mrproper first), then applied the ck1 patch, and then did make xconfig. I loaded the stock Mandrake 9.1 2.4.21-pre .config file, then I selected for my cpu (athlon), said no to some various hardware devices and options I never use or have. (wound up with a 1.1MB kernel image) Then did the usual: make dep make clean make bzImage make modules su to root, and: make modules_install make install Then I checked /boot and /etc/lilo.conf just to make sure all was correct. In my case, I removed the old 2.4.20-ck7 kernel and 2.4.20-ck7 /lib/modules, and lilo entries. Ran lilo again to finish up, and rebooted, Booted fine, and I'm now using the new patched preemptive kernel from Con Kolivas. Seems really responsive.

Re: [expert] Dumbest thing you have ever done as Root?
Well, I was trying to correct a few weird permission faults today in my mp3 server, when I sent a chmod -R 666 * at my home directory. It knocked out my KDE Desktop, and probably several other things, but luckily I killed it quick! could be out of topic, but if you chmod -R, you have directories, and 666 disallow access to directories... One other time, I pointed a chmod -R at another folder, and everytime I loaded KDE, it took much longer than before. Thank god that one is in my past. So, what's the dumbest thing you have done?

Re: [expert] apache rewrite regex
Your specific regex appears to not be correct (it's been a while since I've done PERL so I could be wrong). RewriteRule /perl\/dl.pl/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8200/perl/dl.pl$1 [P] should be RewriteRule /perl\/dl.pl(.*)/ http://127.0.0.1:8200/perl/dl.pl$1 [P] The // encloses the pattern you're looking for (the \/ notation escapes / so you can match path operators). Parens () delimit the pattern you're representing as $1 (if you have multiple parens, then subsequent pairs are represented in $2, $3, etc). That aside, I still don't think it will work because the default rewrite rule should have handled that case correctly. I don't know mod_perl so unfortunately I can't give you any direction on the root cause. -- -chort On Wed, 11 Jun 2003, Frankie wrote: Hi guys I am hoping that on this list is a regex/apache guru...

For years now - I have always used Mandrake for Desktop Usage - always bought the boxes, but RedHat for my home server - download edition. However - RedHat has become quite bad IMHO, especially the versions 8.0/9.0 are quite ugly for an old Linux-user who started with kernel 0.9x, and especially their company policy regarding customers the OS movement. The reason I'm asking - is that I actually love the script based up2date package, and the 7.3rh version - however - every month filling out their questions etc. to get my demo-account active - is getting on my nervs. I would pay for it - but don't know if paying for that, they will make as M$ - stop support for the old versions etc. letting me hanging in the rain. So - what I require - is a Server operating system that is not using any X-Interface for it's configuration. I would do everything by hand too - but don't care if a curses-based UI exists. I also require an automated Update system in place (I had written back in time one for automatically updating RPM's, similar to up2date from rh), but it would be nice to have that maintained by the distribution owner. I do this I create a cron job that runs every 24 hours doing urpmi.update -a then urpmi --auto --auto-select. This takes care of all of the updates auto-magically for me. And, since it's a cron job it mails me the results. One note I also add main and contribs to my urpmi database and disable the cd's, this way if it needs anything new ... it can get it. I've been doing this for about 2 years now without a hitch, and my boxes are never more than a day out of date. Beats the heck out of up2date. 4 servers running MDK and 9 desktops (small office) all of them do this, all are kept up to date. In two years I've had one problem and it was caused by backhoe vs fiber incident that cut my connection to a site in my urpmi database. Just for Fairness YAST in SuSe can do this as well although I haven't used it. But out of all the distro's RH is the most troublesome to keep up to date. (and the one with the most updates too. Mostly self caused.) James Now - I do have a fairly well knowledge of Mandrakes capabilities, and for my Desktop - I have no problem using it. However - a Server means for me, that all my backups are going on it, it has to be reliable, needs to be secured - and the system needs to be supported for at least a year or 2. Mdk has gone the way of often updating the distribution - which is great as long as I don't use it for my server... but I don't know as of yet of an automated Security-fix installation option for mdk... I had done my own operating system back in time - and could do it again, but I'd first like to see if I can avoiding reinventing the wheel ... Anyone has a RPM based distribution to propose - that is up to date, stable, light and easy to maintain ? Preferably free, but I'm also willing to pay for it, if it's worth the money... I would like to keep the RPM based distribution, as I have a very long experience with RPM's (MD5 Checksums and PGP Signatures where actually contributed from me to RedHat by the time of RedHat 2 beta), and I usually also like doing RPM's, but don't like the way Debian packages are done (reason I staid with RPM) Thanks for those... they are tremendously underused IMHO. Now if we can just get them to make boolean or available for dependencies I'd be in hog heaven. I'll have a new Server end of next-week, a Lex Light THIN Client 533 MHz 860A-3R53 Fan-less with 3Lan 10/100MBits, 1WiFi port, 256MByte Ram and 40GBytes Harddrive - barely bigger than an A5 format mini-computer - so I'll have something to play with...

I have my server running Mandrake 9.0. It runs httpd, samba, nfs, print queu
mgmt with cups and a few other things and it has been running for 155 days
now without an issue. I was gonna try and upgrade it to 9.1 last weekend,
but I found out I had to do a presentation this week so I didn't want to risk
it getting screwed up so I'll upgrade it after my presentation today.
You can set it to do automatic updates by creating an update source and using
urpmi in a cron job to keep it up to date. This is what I do.
I keep a local mirror of the update sources using fmirror. If I see in the
morning that there has been an update on the mirror, I check out the advisory
at mandrakeSecure and then wait a few days to make sure there isn't an issue
with the update. If there isn't, I run the commands urpmi.update --update
and then urpmi --auto-select --update This updates the hdlist files for
urpmi and then automatically updates anything that is installed. If you want
it to be automatic, you could set it all up in a cron job. Set it and forget
it. You also don't need a local mirror, you could update directly from one
of the mirrors. I just like having it mirrored locally because it is easier
to update more than one machine that way, plus I get notified via e-mail when
the cron job pulls down a new update.
What you did just put in here - is something I already do with the RedHat
System. However - I do have the Security Update-System hooked to the
rhn-advisory system, so that it triggers updates as soon as these are
available. As you said - you wait couple of days before applying the
patches, while I don't - and up to now - I have run pretty well with it
(Only thing that happens form time to time, one of the servers not
restrting correctly as Mysql or httpd - but that can be checked by
cron-job.).
Actually it's not that out of date it runs every day at about 4am
local.
cd /etc/cron.daily
vi updater
#!/bin/sh
urpmi.update -a
urpmi --auto --auto-select
then save it. I then ran urpmi.setup to get urpmi running right.
The in /etc/urpmi/ the file urpmi.cfg you'll see something like this.
Installation\ CD\ 1\ (x86)\ (cdrom1) removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS
{
hdlist: hdlist.Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1).cz
with_hdlist: ../base/hdlist1.cz
removable: /dev/scd0
}
add the line ignore
Installation\ CD\ 1\ (x86)\ (cdrom1) removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS
{
hdlist: hdlist.Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1).cz
with_hdlist: ../base/hdlist1.cz
removable: /dev/scd0
ignore
}
This ignores the disks and forces it to the net for all rpms. (make
sure you do this for all 3 cd's)
I'm now updated daily.. IF there is something critical I manually run
the cron job.
This does everything except kernels... this is good. I prefer doing
kernels by hand anyway.
James
PS: I do keep Mirrors of several Distributions, notably, Mandrake-9.1 +
updates, RedHat-7.3 + Updates, Knoppix, Texstar/Plf-RPM's - so I have
fairly enough data here. However - what I want is a System that is able to
intelligently and fast cope with Security issues, where I don't have
to on a regular base look at it (actually - the way I do it right now
using rh7.3) :(
Thx for your comments.
PS: I looked at the Mandrake Server-Packages... But I won't buy it - I
just don't want to put 1500,- Bucks as a private person into it.

9.0+updates. It does the job very well here.
Yep - I agree, but using CS2.1 for 750,- $ is a little bit too much for
what I want to do with it. It's allways a compromise between price and
what I'll get out of it. But - as I do only do some OS development I
publish under GPL for fun, I won't spend more than 200,- $ for the OS
I'm working with. And if I don't find anything that suits, I'll most
probably go to Debian - even if I don't like their packaging system.
Well, you asked for a solution...
Start making requests for a support-less version of CS2.1 for $200 or $250
and maybe you'll get it. You're paying that much for support included with
the product.
I wonder if Mandrake has some program for external Admins/Developers to
test their Server packages... I have quite a long experience with
servers and weird setups running Linux, also security related that might
help out (Check my homepage)... Anyone from Mandrake might want to comment ?
AFAIK, there is no such program. That kind of work is done in-house unless
you are certifying some external third party commercial app.

Re: [expert] Problems after bios upgrade
Praedor, The kt3 ultra with via kt333 chipset should do 133Mhz FSB (266) with no problem. What is your cpu voltage set at? Also, like I mentioned, your power supply might be marginal- especially on the 3v and 5v lines. John's point on another older card causing this is valid too, but then your multiplier on the board should kick in if that's the case to lower the FSB to the pci/agp cards. I've been reading (and did a lot before when I got my ultra 2)- these boards generally overclock very well, and you should not be having this problem setting it to 133. Take a look at your PS, and see what it's rated at. I've seen a weak PS cause many weird problems like this before.

Not sure if it does, but on my own wiki (linsec.ca) I have a few pages
translated to french and just prefix the page with Fr; ie. WebHome would be
FrWebHome. You'd have to go through and manage it (ie. there is no

The other option is to make an entirely new wiki named German, so you'd
have, for example Main/WebHome and German/WebHome and you'd just have to
attempt to keep the two in sync.
