Re: [expert] Weird automount message
Thanks Jack, sorry for the lack of initial info. I'm just wondering what the messages are. Server has been running fine for over 2 years and for some reason this showed up in my log and I was just curious. I looks like it is showing up on a daily basis now (well almost a daily basis).

Re: [expert] Increading /mnt/cdrom size?
Brian, I could have told you you were right a long time ago. I used to backup at night using a script what would smbmount a M$ box drive to dump my backup nightly until CDs were burned at the end of the week. One night following a thunder storm, smbmount failed and the quick script wasn't checking for a successful mount (i.e. no if (smbmount etc...) then...) so I ended filling up the /mnt/tripod directory on my server with about 600 megs of stuff from /home that I thought had been sent to the M$ box via /mnt/tripod. Talk about confusing. mount /mnt/tripod then ls /mnt/tripod returned the same thing as umount /mnt/tripod and ls /mnt/tripod. It took a few posts, but some soul was kind enough to finally figure out hey idiot, your smbmount failed and you filled up /mnt/tripod with what you thought was going to your M$ drive. So a quick umount /mnt/tripos then rm -f /mnt/tripod followed by a fresh smbmount /mnt/tripod was all it took. In short, just a long way of saying you got it right! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

I believe you are confusing how a directory tree is set up to interface with you as a user in order to help you find your files with the actual devices where files are being stored. No, I am clearly stating that the directory that is used as a mount point for the cdrom device is an actual directory and can exist independent of the device that is associated to it by the mount command up until the mount command redirects the mount point to point to the device file instead of a directory on the file system. If you simply go out and look at it yourself, you will see that until the mount command is issued for a cdrom, there is clearly a directory present on the root drive in the /mnt folder that you can access with absolutely no disc mounted in the cdrom drive. For that matter, I can simply enough create a directory directly under root called cdrom and alter the fstab with a simply edit and any cdroms mounted on the drive will then be mounted in the directory cdrom off of the root drive. I accept that after I mount the drive, I am no longer hitting the directory in the filesystem when I access the cdrom, but up until I mount the media, I am. Check your /etc/fstab. That defines your file system table and says where the directories in your directory tree are really located. Actually, no. fstab merely designates the device file and mount point for devices when the mount command is issued. Much like a mapped network drive in NFS, the actual directory that is used for the mount point actually exists prior to remapping the location to point to the network resource and does not actually point to the device until the mount command points the directory to the device. Experiment: As root, with no cd mounted, cp a file to /mnt/cdrom and you will note that the file is copied and then exists in /mnt/cdrom. It actually exists in memory. [EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]# ls -l total 9 drwxr-xr-x2 root root 48 Oct 23 17:49 cdrom/ drwxrwxrwx1 root root0 Oct 22 19:13 floppy/ dr-x--1 root root 8192 Oct 20 18:31 winxp/ Doesn't look like memory to me I don't want to get into a fruitless debate about this. I know it is a difficult concept. I'm only responding because I believe you are asking for problems if you treat all the places on the directory tree/interface as if they are actually all places on your hard drive. Neither do I. Why don't we agree to accept an answer from a disinterested third party. Linux does not have different letters for the drives. Linux integrates floppy, hard disk, CD-ROM ... (the common name for all of them is devices) into the directory tree. You simply plug the device in a subdirectory. The default directory for mounting removable media devices is /mnt/. There you create the subdirectories for all devices (e.g. /mnt/zip for the zip-drive), /mnt/windows/ for the WINDOWS partition. For the CD-ROM the directory /cdrom is as common as /mnt/cdrom/. Any needed directories can be created with mkdir. To access the CD-ROM drive you have to register it in the system. This happens with the command mount You can access the entire page at: http://www.linuxnetmag.com/en/issue3/m3mount1.html The blurb clearly states that mounting a device simply 'plug'[s] the device in a subdirectory that is either already created or is created when you issue

Re: [expert] refresh rate
Take a look at: Name xvidtune - video mode tuner for XFree86 Synopsis xvidtune [ -prev | -next | -unlock | ] ] [ -toolkitoption ... ] Description Xvidtune is a client interface to the XFree86 X server video mode extension (XFree86-VidModeExtension). When given one of the non-toolkit options, xvidtune provides a command line interface to either switch the video mode. Without any options (or with only toolkit options) it presents the user with various buttons and sliders that can be used to interactively adjust existing video modes. It will also print the settings in a format suitable for inclusion in an XF86Config file. Normally the XFree86 X servers only allow changes to be made with the XFree86-VidModeExtension from clients connected via a local connection type. Note: The original mode settings can be restored by pressing the `R' key, and this can be used to restore a stable screen in situations where the screen becomes unreadable. -- David C.

trying to figure out why Samba isn't working... two hours
looking for alternatives network transfer mechanisms... one hour
sneaker-netting the data with removable media... six hours
downloading pscp.exe and simply transferring the files... priceless
:-)
I mean, honestly. I've got nearly ten years of earning a living with
computers under my belt, I'm MCSE and LPIC-2 certified, and I've spent
over half my career working with networks and firewalls. I still can't
configure Samba properly on the first try, and usually not on the second
or third either. I know a couple of admins who are comfortable with
Samba, but most admins in my circle fight for hours and days to get it
set up and then stay the hell away from it.
Recommending that a newbie jump in and start hacking smb.conf and
smbpasswd is like asking Jack Black to win an Ironman :-)

Re: [expert] (OT)Mandrake and Advertising.
I appreciate your response, and perhaps I was presumtive in my 100% suggestion. I do see your point. So why don't we all just declare the clean elegance of linux code and distributions dead. Let's all say Hey, it's OK to start down the path of code bloat and incideous little processes running in the background to direct spam to my machine. Say yes, I like the idea of pop-ups and spyware polluting my browser and desktop. And say yes to all the inconvenience just so someone can put another almighty dollar in thier pocket. Get real! Many people look to linux to get away for just this type of annoying BS. Yes, I like and support mandrake. But I am UTTERLY APPAULED at the premise and idea of including incestuos slutty advertising in the mdk distribution. Mdk was a great distro long before the corporatization and focus on $ became its fixation. In my eyes, and I will say in the eyes of many others, the inclusion of unwanted and unsolicited ads, in any form, no matter how easily removed is unacceptable that will make mdk a distribution I would no longer choose to be a part of or support. Hooray for the marketing scum, they have finally found a way to pollute a linux distribution. I guess someone will get a nice fat check for that idea. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Mr. Rankin; I do believe you're making a fairly broad assumption there David, on little or no evidence. In fact I openly stated that I don't care what they do to *survive,* as long as it doesn't become intrusive. If that happens I won't wait to say goodbye; I'll be history and thanks for the memories.

On Faith in other words. So please try not to claim any form of poetic license since that's just a polite word for bullshit. I've also seen posts from some others that lead me to believe that they too would wait to see what happens. If we're running a distribution of GNU/Linux, and we are; and if we're advocating GNU/Linux to friends, family, and business associates, and it seems we all are, then why the Hell are we complaining if a survival mechanism for the distribution we all seem to treasure is instituted so that we can keep working with it and the company responsible for it? If none of us gave a shit we wouldn't be complaining so vociferously, now would we? My own personal mantra doesn't include whining about the way the world is. I'd rather devote my energies to making certain my own little corner of the real world improves. For everyone. For the people that are willing to listen to me around these parts, that improvement includes, and will continue to include for the foreseeable future, Mandrake Linux. If the management of MandrakeSoft have to take drastic steps to insure their corporate survival it must mean they want that as well. I'll say it once more for those that didn't get it yet; As long as whatever the 'Powers That Be' in MandrakeSoft Management do doesn't intrude on me, or those that I advocate the distribution to, I'll back them the way I always have.

Every user must have an account on your box, and the username and
password must match that on the windows box in every detail - it is
case-sensitive of course. The fact that it's asking for the guest

Webmin may not be installed - it isn't by default, I think - but it's
worth having.

Re: [expert] Slow SMB file transfers to XP`
Mates:
Here is another clue that may help get to the bottom of this. Back in
the 7.2 days when Samba 2.0X, 2.1X was comming out, the slow transfer issue
appeared with Win98 transfers. The 2 gig limit was also there. The slow
transfer from win to mdk was discussed as a packet fragmentation or
rabbit pellet packet fragmentation problem by Civileme. The Samba folks
also worked the issue. The issue was evidently resolved for win98, but the
same type of problem could have reared its head again.
I tried to do a archive search for this issue, but for some reason the
archive search daemon would not connect. Anyway, I would suggest an expert
archive search for packet fragmentation or rabbit pellet to get the
history of the issue. M$ may have changed smb just enough to recreate this
condition and the Samba folks may have some more work to do.

I think the op of this thread had the slowness going the other way.
Samba to XP is fast, while XP to samba is fast. In any case, it
always seems to be a problem with the configuration of the windows
machines, not the samba machines.
Windows to Samba was only half of my comment. An incorrect Windows
configuration doesn't explain a slow Samba to Samba transfer.
I would agree from smb to smb, but I really don't believe this is an
incorrect windows configuration issue. There is a fundamental issue
that
I believe Microsoft has done to deliberately break or slow samba. I
may
be wrong, but I've not seen a solution yet. I did read somewhere that

Brings up a good point. Specifically, how many hubs are we talking
about? Are there more than 2 hubs between the mdk and XP box? If it's a 1
hub small network, DNS and NETBIOS braodcasts shouldn't be that much of an
issue.

This illustrates my point perfectly. When you initiated the transfer on
the Linux box it took around two minutes to do the transfer, and you
called it fast (blast). I repeated that behavior in my own setup. I
got the same results when initiating the transfer on my Mandrake box
using Konqueror and command line (cp). I call it slow because when I
initiate the transfer on the Win2000 box, using Windows Explorer, I get
the same transfer done in under a minute. Why the huge difference in
speed?
A two minute transfer for a file that size may be fast compared to a
totally broken setup, but it is still half as fast as it should be. The
question is: what needs to be done to have file transfers initiated in
Linux get the same transfer speed experienced when they are initiated by
Windows?
The same thing can be said for transfers between Linux and Linux. It
experiences the same crippled transfer speed. The common thread being
the transfer is initiated on a Linux box.
Remember though, this particular network is on a HUB, i.e. half-duplex.
If there is any other sort of traffic what-so-ever it's going to be
noticeably slower (DNS lookups, Net-BT broadcasts, etc).

Re: [expert] Slow SMB file transfers to XP`
Well, you're right about there being something suspicious about the way XP does business. Browsing win98 clients is just slow as sh you know. That's even after the registry tweaks that are supposed to fix the browse problem. Secondly, MS crippled XP to allow no more than 5 simo network connections rendering it useless as an impromptu file server. I have XP pro at home, but it is also on the same box as linux rendering it useless to test the file transfer issue. There is an answer somewhere...and let me know when you find out what it is. -- David C.

Re: [expert] OT: router reboots
Also, Don't forget to check the obvious! Sometimes the little fans in the router or hub or switch quits and this can give you nightmares trying to figure out what is going on. I have had one die and the hub kept working fine until the traffic load got heavy which would cause the heat load experienced by the hub to rise which would cause it to die. May work for 2 days or 20 minutes depending on the traffic. Worth a check. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Franki raised that one, but my reply to him was one of the ones that went missing, never appeared on the list. Here is what I said to him: Hi, Franki. A little while ago I downloaded the latest flash for the router and the installation instructions, which were to flash it from within the web page. 'Mine not to reason why'. I thought, and tried it. It didn't work. I contacted their tech support, who said they would email alternative instructions. They did, and it didn't work. It did screw up everything that had been there before, though, so I had to go in an reconfigure it. There was a complication in that I couldn't get a connection, which my isp traced to a line fault, which BT denied, but a short time after it was working again. Then I rang SMC's tech support again. This time a guy asked me why I was trying to flash it. He rather rudely said it was pointless - it was not necessary with the revision I had got. You should have told him that it was none of his damn business WHAT you were doing with your own equipment, and that if you wanted to pee on it in the shower then that's exactly what you were going to do, and that the only input you would need from him at that point would be to recommend the best way to do the most damage. Their job, quite simply, is not to question what you are doing but rather to tell you how to do it. Many times a phone jock will tell you something either because they have read entirely too much BOFH lit or because they don't want to bother with the call cause they've got a personal call they'd rather be on. The first thing to do before you pick up the phone for tech support is to realize *what their job is*. Because 90% of the time, THEY DONT. They are not the equipment police of your house, their job is to tell you how to flash their shite equipment. Any other words out of their mouth are extra and not needed. Any chance for them to be arrogant and assume ignorance on your part is usually a chance they will take. In the past, in such situations, I have thrown out some ignorance bait and then fed the rope out quite a bit. Then at the appropriate time, I yank on the rope, pull them back in, and do maximum damage. I do what I can to discourage this type of behavior. Between that experience and the fact that it is impossible to release a range of ports for a session (ideally I would like it to be software triggered, but I'll do it manually if necessary) I feel that when I replace it, it will not be with an SMC product. If I may, I will also copy in my replies to Ronald and Miark, which also went missing. ---snip, I agree with Ronald that this is not a dhcp thing- I'll be honest, the first thing that occurred to me when you described your problem was that a security hole was being taken advantage of with your router. Most of the time when a firmware release is given on a router, it's to address a security hole problem. This reboot problem sounded to me as if you were being scanned periodically and the scan was locking your router up. This is why I recommended a firmware flash, so that you could begin analyzing the problem from a fresh and more secure perspective. Of course now we have phone jock assholes standing in our way of that. The objective is to get the router flashed with the latest firmware revision, and then reexamine the problem to see if you have any further lockups. If lockups still are happening after you bring the router up to the latest firmware release, then it's an equipment problem and the router needs to be replaced under warranty.

Re: [expert] What is sshd-restarter?
Greg, I also use PuTTy to access my server at work from home. I have resisted upgrading because, frankly, I'm really happy with my current setup. I get no connection errors while using PuTTy even in extended sessions. I can't speak to the cause and effect of ssh-restarter on the error you receive because it aint running in 7.2. But the bottom line seems to be that if ssh-restarter is simply a script that checks to see if sshd is running every 5 minutes, then the overhead of ssh-restarter is negligable. Perhaps you can check the script for a setting that will let you set it to run every 30 minutes instead of every 5 or maybe there is a -- nolog switch. I like the idea of having sshd restarted if for some reason it should die. It's kind of a safety net that insures ssh access will be available when you need it. Greg Meyer wrote: On Wednesday 02 July 2003 03:31 pm, David Rankin wrote: Greg, At least in 7.2 I have had sshd running for over 400 days without any stops.

As an anal accountant, I just hate it showing up in my logs every 5 minutes, especially when it is always running. Perahps there is a way for it to only make a log entry if it actually has to do something. I wonder also if it has anything to do with some of the connection errors I have been getting since being on 9.1. I tunnel vnc through ssh so I can access my machine from work. I find that 3 or 4 times throughout the day, PuTTy is giving me a connection error. Since I uninstalled sshd-monitor, I have not had this happen.

Re: [expert] samba
Wait, Wait, Wait
You don't need to disable the samba password. The way it works is to just
make sure the windows password ('95 OSR2 and beyond) is the same as the samba
password. The windows login (user name) should be the same as the unix and
samba username. Just make it simple. The unix, samba and windows logins and
passwords should be the same.

The windows box only has 2 users, both have a null string as a password,

When I login to this box as a user richard and the password is

I dont think linux likes null strings as passwords.
On the Linux machine you'll need to create equivalent samba users with:
smbadduser richard:richard
It will prompt for a password. Just press Enter to disable the
passwords.
But surely the login is the icing on the cake, I would expect with both
smbd and nmbd running, for windows to at least show this box in its
network neighbourhood,, it only shows its self WINBLOWS in MDKGROUP.
There are 4 interfaces on this box as far as the firewall is concerned
1 the public interface,, heavily protected
2 a slip link internal to the machine ...trusted
3 local.. again trusted
4 lan pretty open
OK, to verify that it's not a firewall issue, do the following:
On the Linux machine, login as the 'richard' user. Then type:
smbclient //FW-GB7TF/public -U richard
You should be prompted for a password. Press Enter for a null password
or Enter the password if it's not null. When the SMB prompt appears,
type 'dir'. You should get a listing of the local Samba share on the
Linux machine.
If you can't do this it tells us that something is wrong with the Samba
configuration. BTW, the FW-GB7TF name is from the config file that you
posted. Normally you'd change this to something more friendly. Please
also verify that you are indeed exporting a /public share with:
smbclient -U richard -L localhost
Look for the appropriate entries in the Sharename column.
If you can browse the share, go over to the Windows machine. In the
START|RUN dialog, type //FW-GB7TF/public. If you don't get anything then
it's almost certainly a firewall issue.
the windows box is on the latter.
I'm not seeing either smb,nmb or cups broadcasts on the lan interface,
but the firewall log show cups broadcast being dropped on the public
interface...stops the world using my printer :))
route -en shows 44.131.90.0 netmask 255,255.254.0 to the lan interface,
and the routing to that subnet is working.
However, as per my earlier mail when smbd and nmbd are restarted I see a
log message
samba is now logon server for workgroup MDKGROUP on subnet
44.131.90.129
thats the address on the internal LAN for this machine, subnet
255.255.255.255
I've missed something fundamental, but I cant see it

Re: [expert] Mandrake RPM updates
Well, I think the end of life stuff sucks. Yes, it's inevitable, but it still sucks. I for one haven't upgraded my 7.2 server (other than applying patches) since it was installed. Why? Answer: It works, It works, It works! It is inefficient to think about spending 3-5 days of a backup, HD format, re-install, reconfigure, reload, test, (fix what used to work, but now for some reason unexplained doesn't), QA and harden a new server when the one you have provides 100% of what you need (and believe me 7.2 is widely installed and has few shortcommings) So no, I don't repave each time a got to have a number larger than RH release comes out. If their is a needed capability that is offered in the new release, then I would. However, ssh, apache, php, mysql, pptpd, ipsec, samba (no XP clients), BIND 8, and the rest still work just fine under 7.2. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

PNIC2 Error Fixed [was Re: [expert] Network Card Recommendations]
The PNIC2 eth0 tx hung mystery has been solved. I though I would share the solution. Background: the eth0 error started showing up after a large thunderstom rolled through Texas around Christmas. The problem would come and go appearing mostly when the network was under high load due to backup. Sometimes the error would cause the hub to shutdown (so I thought). We'll, checking each connection at the hub revealed that the hub would crash when I connected the server to the hub. This combined with the PNIC2 eth0 message caused me to suspect the Linksys LNE100TX card in the server. So I found another one in Nacogdoches (no easy task in Nacogdoches, Texas). Replaced the card repowered the hub and all was well (I thought). I started the backup and went to lunch after watching for 10 minutes to make sure all was well. Got back from lunch - everything was dead again. Well, as it turns out, it wasn't the server network card, but it was a problem with the hub. The fan in the old CNET 8-port was dying and causing the hub to overheat. The LM server was the only machine on the network smart enough to log any errors. Being the server, it also carried the most traffic and would cause the hub to overheat once connected making it look like a server network card problem. Thanks for everyones help with this problem over the past few weeks. And, did I tell you, I only had to drive 60 miles to find a new 8-port! I would check each connection with the James Sparenberg wrote: Ran some throughput tests about 6 months ago... rough test nothing fancy 3c905's seemed to give me 45mbs real throughput... the linksys about 42mbps Honestly I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't stay with them the price/performance point is pretty solid from what I see.

Persico wrote: I've read the DNS Howto and I've installed the bind and caching server RPMS. What I do not understand is how DNS works with DHCP? In short, I have a DHCP server running on an Linksys Router. My XP boxes all figure out what their names are over netbios and the Linux box is running smbd and nmbd so it broadcasts its name to the XP boxes. However, for the Linux box to be able to get to the XP boxes by name, the local DNS server has to somehow ask the DHCP server what's going on, yes? Does anyone have a pointer to a doc that explains that interaction? http://www.isc.org I'd suggest starting with these folks. Dynamic DNS sounds like what you're looking for. I guess it took me a couple of hours to figure it out the first time but it really isn't all that complicated. Also, it isn't so much that DNS works with DHCP but rather, DHCP can be set up to update DNS so long as DNS is set up to receive updates from DHCP. There are rules set up for allowing your DHCP daemon to update the DNS server with each IP address it leases (and removing those entries when they expire). It's all pretty slick and works very well. I have set it up on probably a dozen systems now. If you used the ISC Bind (you probably do) and DHCP (you don't) packages I could probably set you with some template files I always use - makes it so I don't have to memorize everything. Maybe this would make a good addition to a howto somewhere... The fly I see in this ointment is in regard to the fact that your linksys router is doing DHCP on your network. You'd have to determine whether the linksys can be configured to do the updates. If it can't, you're pretty much stuck unless you're willing to take the DHCP services off the linksys and put them elsewhere (like on the same box that runs DNS). For more info you can also look at some man pages - best info of these two is in ISC's dhcpd.conf man page. man named.conf (requires the named (Bind) packages) look for allow-update man dhcpd.conf (requires ISC dhcpd package) whole section on dynamic dns Hope this helps. FYI, I've given up on DHCP and DNS dancing together. In the end, the learning curve was not worth it. I've dropped a seven line hosts file on my four machines. Problem solved, even if it is in a Kobyoshi-Maru sort of manner. :-) -- Matthew O. Persico Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com -- David C.

[expert] NEED HELP - kernel: eth0: Tx hung, 1191883 vs. 1191882.
I have been struggling with a weird message lately that hasn't appeared over the past 2 years until the past few weeks. I don't have any clue as to what this is actually telling me, but I would suspect that it may be the initial gasps of a dying LNE100TX network card (tulip driver). It may only show up once or twice every week. However, with my very limited kernel error message understanding, I'm at a loss. So experts -- Chime in! Setup: LM 7.2 Odyssey (2.2.19 kernel) Abit Kt7 mb AMD T-bird 800 Linksys LNE100TX (No hardware changes since Jan, 2001) Network: server - 8 port C-net hub [7 out to LAN 1 to] - 4 port Linksys cable/dsl router [1 LAN connection] - (the rest of the world/internet) No problems for over 580 days. Since 12/26/02 I have received the following message with varying frequency. It really hung on the 12/26, but after that I only see the message once maybe twice a day or week? Jan 3 11:28:22 Nemesis kernel: eth0: Tx hung, 1191883 vs. 1191882. Jan 3 11:28:22 Nemesis kernel: eth0: PNIC2 transmit timed out, status e400, CSR6/7 0100 / ebff CSR12 40a1d0cc, resetting... OK, this is Jan 7 and I haven't had the message since the 3rd, so: What in the heck does this error mean? Google says that it may be a tulip driver error, but that is no explaination as to why I would go 500+ days without the error and then have it magically (or a a result of witchcraft) appear? Does it smell like a hardware problem? When it occurs, I have noticed that my C-net 8 port hub acts flakey. After I disconnect all the clients, reset the modem, reset the router, reset the hub -- everything seems OK. So what gives? (I generally do a /init.d/network restart just to be on the safe side) Which resets without any errors. My real question is what in the hell is an: eth0: Tx hung message mean?

Re: [expert] DHCP duplicate lease???
Mark,
Your on the right track. I stumbled through the configuration process
looking for a great reference that would help, and finally found two sources
that held the key. (I have the hardcopies somewhere that I could dig out for
you and fax -- probably 40 pages) The configuration challenge is daunting,
but it has nothing to do with BIND or dhcpd. The challenge is just finding
the one or two docs that actually break the config down to simple english.
The actual setup takes about an hour if your slow like I am. (not a VI
expert, but I get by - just have to remember whether it is yyn or ddn) I
set up BIND and dhcpd to work together in my office along with everything
else under the sun on my LM 7.2 server (ssh, pptpd - vpn, ftp, pop3, imap,
smtp, samba, etc..) and I went to 436 days uptime without a single glitch,
moved offices and had to shut it down, and have gone nearly 180 days since
without a glitch (besides the time msec got pissy with me)
The point to be made is, that once you take the time to learn the animal
it really is a setup and forget process. My LM box is my law office,
serves 8 various M$ client machines, everyone from home via vpn, and I have
no complaints.
So what your trying to do is easily doable, you'll just need some help
getting the syntax right. I'm no expert, but I'm more than willing to send
you all my config files to let you digest them. I can't imagine setting my
system up any other way. The working DNS, dhcpd combination is so elegant
and efficient that it truly exposes how LM and Linux can hold its own and
actually kick the $h17 out of any propriety software on the market.
Like I said, I'm no expert, but I'll do what I can to hep!

It's
that simple. For LM, BIND and dhcpd work flawlessly once configured.
Your
dhcpd.conf should look something like this: (of course there are more
options and your internal LAN address may vary)
subnet 192.168.7.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
# default gateway
option routers 192.168.7.13; (** this is your Linksys Router

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name **whatever your domain is**.com;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.7.14; (this is your server
running B IND)
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.7.14; (ditto)
ddns-domainname **whatever your domain is**.com;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.7.20 192.168.7.100; **whatever works

default-lease-time 21600; (up to you)
max-lease-time 43200; (ditto)
# Adding zone information
zone **whatever your domain is**.com. {primary 127.0.0.1; }
note the . after the domain name in the line above -- syntax --
very
important!
}
Now if your running BIND, your named.conf should look something like
this:
// Filename: /etc/named.conf
options {
directory /var/named;
forward first;
forwarders { 205.218.118.1; 208.180.0.2;}; *** whatever yours
are
};
zone . {
type hint;
file named.ca;
};
zone localhost {
type master;
file localhost;
};
zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa {
type master;
file 127.0.0;
};
zone **whatever your domain is**.com {
type master;
file **whatever your domain is**.com (your zone filename that

allow-update{**whatever your domain is**.com;}; (**not the most

};
zone 7.168.192.in-addr.arpa {
type master;
file 192.168.7;

Re: [expert] Possible Hack? -- Change in Suid Root files found
Thanks James, I think the consensus is that msec lost its mind after the network errors. Weirdest $hit I've ever seen, but then again, I don't hold myself out as knowing the intricasies of msec that well.

I will be returning to the lists. I will have an email address that can handle list level traffic. 2. All of you are desperately needed to complete the push to get Mandrakesoft on a self-sustaining level. For the second one, here is the real story: Mandrakesoft started on a shoestring and a hope, originally as a spare-time project for one person. It was immensely popular from inception and soon MADE A PROFIT. Then arrived the venture capitalists They invested monies but wanted an international team of executives to manage the company. Such a team was acquired. Under that team, the expenses went up about 400% without a concomitant increase in revenue. The direction was modified from a linux distributor to an internet education company with a hook to linux. The soundness of that idea was never proven, as the dot.com bubble burst and investors worldwide went into full retreat. For Mandrakesoft this was a curse and a blessing. The curse was the negative cash position and high burn rate and the blessing was a return to being a linux company. Mandrakesoft has made huge strides in bringing revenue up to meet expenses and in cutting expenses. They tended to trust the word of others which has made their forecasts look overly optimistic several times. But now the break-even point, in the worst-case scenario, is in sight and in a few months. The short term still requires more cash than they have now, to get out that next release. In that next release will be a special piece of software I am contributing. With little to do since my layoff, I have designed a semi-intelligent linux binary installer that can handle most of what you are able to download. It even has hooks to look for things like WineX and to attempt to install windows executables if you have an emulator for them. But if you want to see that next release, consider a club membership or giving club memberships as Christmas gifts or buying stock at approximately the right price. (BTW, MIcrosoft stock which sells at Like $52 /share has 8 billion shares outstanding on a company that earns $25 billion a year in revenue BEFORE expenses-- I call that a heavily watered stock) Mandrakesoft stock is selling for what the company is probably worth. Remember its assets are PEOPLE and their products. People like Pixel and Gael Duval and Denis Havlik and Guillaume Cottenceau make the product and the company what it is. Mandrake also has a hidden asset in the loyalty of contributors, And they are finally selling the right way--software is free if you want it and rather expensive if you expect extensive support. So anyway, expect to see me return to the lists now that I have an email that will handle it without quota problems and (I hope) without any more crack attacks or DDOSes which is what originally set me to dropping my mailserver and forwarding to a hidden webmail host.

setup my environment for each new type of location... the unit is called
gypsy for obvious reasons.
Anyway... in NC, gypsy connects to my main LAN -- setup everything and
all worked fine in the default profile.
Next, in SC, gypsy connects to another LAN -- same parameters, except for
the DNS servers, so I setup profiles NC and SC.
Last night, I got around to setting it up for dialup... and there started
the descent into hell...
Summary:
* MCC/NetworkInternet is thoroughly confused with 3 profiles (not incl
default)
location interface status net_access
NC eth0 down connected
SC eth0 down connected
DialUp modem down connected

Re: [expert] Re: [newbie] clock help
Well, All windows machines store time in LOCALTIME. Linux can store time in hwclock in LOCALTIME or UTC/GMT. If you are running a dual boot system with windows set the Linux hwclock to LOCALTIME otherwise the clock will be off by your offset from GMT on one system or the other. (I'll bet your localtime is offset from GMT by 3 hours) Lyvim Xaphir wrote: On Thu, 2002-10-31 at 16:05, windwalker wrote: I Installed mandrake.

Re: [expert] Enemies Purchased by Gates
God help us. The poor misguided soul that is so easily led by a slick republican marketing campaign. The democrats have in fact fought zealously against allowing an expansion of executive office power contrary to what is claimed below. When you one day awake and can't afford health coverage for your family, find out that your once constitutionaly guaranteed liberties are gone, and that the retirement you thought you had has evaporated, maybe then the veil will be lifted and you will see that in voting (R) you have screwed yourself while thinking you were liking it all along. Don't fail to see the forest for the trees. The DMCA and CBDTA are not partisian issues. And, I guarantee you that a knee-jerk reaction considering it one will do you far more harm good with the ill-considered consequences that will follow. Lyvim Xaphir wrote: I've written before about the relationship between the Democrats and the Entertainment industry (RIAA, etc) and the havoc they are wreaking with our digital rights (DMCA [Digital Millennium Copyright Act], CBDTA [Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act]). For those of you who are new to the list since that time, consider yourselves now notified that your digital rights are under attack. The time is coming when Linux itself could be outlawed, along with all free software. The real enemy here is not copyrighted media that needs to be hacked. The real enemies are the (elected) LAWMAKERS, who will enact laws that will allow the Federal authorities (FBI, SBI, etc) to be used as an auxillary arm of Microsoft and the Entertainment industries. In other words, by using Democratic lawmakers to pass certain laws, they will have the power to totally control what software you run (Palladium) and also what OS's are legal to run (Linux vs Microshat). Future non-compliance of said laws will bring the Federal authorities down on you courtesy of the Democrats. Do not be fooled by rhetoric. The Democrats have historically been the party of slavery and in fact still are. Power is their end goal; make no mistake about it. SEE: http://wired.com/news/linux/0,1411,55989,00.html Tom Stonewall Daschle (Senate majority leader) has done everything in his power to stop anything approaching progress in the Senate. (Judicial nominations, economic bills, etc) Every bill that has needed to be passed to help the economy has already been passed by the House, and is now stalled in the Senate. Courtesy Stonewall. Therefore the primary goal of the Dems is not the health or safety of the nation at large, but rather the end goal of procurement of political power. Some inkling of their end goal is apparent when the record of their attitude towards Digital Rights is examined. Not only Digital rights, but basically anything that would help the individual rather than the Government is at risk. The worst thing that good people can do in this is to do nothing. This letter is primarily directed at Americans; although I do think that everyone else should be watching because what happens in America will affect the rest of the world. I urge those of you who value your digital rights and those of you who love Linux to please vote in November; and my suggestion is to vote these Democrat parasites out of office. Remember that the Democrats represent government intrusion, digital rights erosion, and TAXATION. When you watch C-span, don't be fooled by the liberal rhetoric or the subtle lean of C-Span to the left. The Republicans are not perfect by any means, but I can promise you that your individual rights will be more protected by the Reps than they will by the Dems. The Republicans have historically been the party of freedom, Abraham Lincoln and anti-slavery. And they still are. A good place to be further pro-active (other than voting pro-Republican in Novemember) is to visit the following site: http://www.eff.org/ Also remember: just about everything you see on television is engineered to make liberals and democrats look good. That is primarily how they maintain their power base (other than their death stranglehold on the public educational system.) My recommendation is to listen to Fox news, talk radio hosts such as G. Gordon Liddy, Neal Boortz, Laura Ingram, and Rush Limbaugh. (yes, Rush Limbaugh is a good source of information, contrary to popular liberal misinformation) and flush the rest.

[expert] Pine 9.0 -- The rest of the Story..
Mark, Thanks for the quick response, that's good information that I was not aware of. I'm certainly glad that Pine will remain part of the distribution even if it is shuffled to a different disk. Mark Crispin wrote: The issue with the restrictive license agreement boils down to one major issue: if someone wishes to distribute a modified version of Pine, they have to ask UW for permission first. Put another way, UW claims control over what is distributed with the name Pine. It's alright to distribute unmodified Pine; it's alright to distribute patches to modify Pine. But if you want to distribute a modified Pine, you have to ask first. One would consider this to be a matter of common courtesy. We contacted Mandrake about this very question a few months ago. In part, the answer from Denis Havlik [EMAIL PROTECTED] stated: [Pine] won't be distributed with a core distribution (download or GPL edition) in the future, but I don't think it can be completely dropped either. In fact, I'm 100% sure that we WILL distribute pine one way or another, because I'm the one in charge of MandrakeClub, and thus have a possibility to add rpms of 'non-free' software to MandrakeClub download area as long as I don't do anything illegal. Stuff we have in 'Club' downloads area should also end up on our 'Commercial CDs', so they will be distributed with our packs, and once the RPMs are done, every club member can download them. In case the licence allows it (pine licence does), they are also free to further dissemenate them in any way they see fit, so I don't think we'll see a real shortage of pine RPMs for mandrake in a near future. In other words, Mandrake told us that they will continue to distribute Pine as before, just not as part of their core GPL software distribution. In the Mandrake distribution which I have, there is a disk of non-GPL freeware which every person who purchases the Mandrake CD-ROM distribution gets. I assume that their plan is to move Pine to that CD-ROM. Pine will still included with Mandrake, just on a different CD-ROM. If Mandrake's policy has subsequently changed, they haven't told us. On Tue, 17 Sep 2002, David Rankin wrote: The following is from the mandrake mailing list. It would appear there are a LOT of pine users that will be alienated. 3. I could not locate the pine package anywhere on the disks. It's been removed because the University of Washington, its owners, introduced a homebrewed licence which is more restrictive than GPL or similar. (Mandrakesoft is _very_ strict on this issue). Now what motivation could you have for crafting a restrictive license agreement that would cause the major Linux distribution to drop Pine? Pine is a great mailer with a loyal following and its non-inclusion in the major distribution will be missed. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[expert] OT - Groupware solution?
Guys and Gals, I need your help figuring out if a groupware solution exists that will solve calendaring and address book needs at my office. My current setup is: Server: LM 7.2 Clients: (4) Win9X ME What I need is an application that will allow the Win machines to access a common calendar and address book for the firm on the server. I just need to be able to have the secretary and others add entries to the calendar or address book in a groupware fashion. Sort of like exchange and outlook. (not an option - hate both of them) The only catch is that I want the data on the Linux box to be able to be accessed from the Win workstations. It would really be great if you could sync a palm with the information as well. Evolution shows promise, but it doesn't have any sort of interface for the Win boxes that I know of. Mysql or postgress shows promise, but I haven't found a clean Win front end that looks like it would work. Right now we are simply using palm desktop on the secretary's machine with the common files stored on the server. This isn't a long term solution. I have also tried using an outlook folder in similar fashion with similar results. Does anyone know of any other projects that are underway that might offer a solution. What are you thoughts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E. RANKIN * BERTIN, PLLC 1329 N.

Re: [expert] Mandrake Timezone/Date Problems
Why not just install xntpd, run it as a daemon, and it will update every few seconds. From what I can tell it has a light footprint or demand on system resources. That doesn't solve the original problem though. Whatever the problem, it sounds like you need to do a: #hwclock --hctosys after you have reconfigured your system time to set the hardware clock to the correct time.

The Gigabyte got a strong review, but if a mobo doesn't have at least 7 slots, it's not interesting. Overclocking features are important too, which both the Epox and Enmic have.

Others have had similar problems, with no answers found (see below google query on addscreen screeninit I128) [Newbie]X 4.0.2 problems with I128 ...

I've XFdraked and xf86configed every conceivable way possible, 640x480 to 1280x1024, all color depths, generic monitors, chosen my NEC Accusynd 95F monitor, and nothing helps. With X4.2, startx bombs with the error Fatal server error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0 With 3.3.6, startx bombs (or hangs) with the error Fatal server error: no screens found I am out of answers. I don't think it would be productive for me to try to recompile the I128 server by hand (God knows it would never work then) DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OTHER THAN BUY A NEW VIDEO CARD I guess the real question is what changed in the I128 sever between 4.01 and 4.2? 4.01 is still working fine in LM7.2 on the same machine. X4.2 or X3.3.6 will not start under LM8.2 on the same machine. Out of answers, probably spent 30 hours digging into this and I really, really need help. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
