[expert] 9.2 and BootDisk
Forgive me if this has been discussed. I tried it with 3 different machines, 4 different floppies. A Error Occurred. mkbootdisk failed or Unable to properly close mkbootdisk, No space left on device My problem is that I have dualboot scenarios..with winblows.and its boot loader HAS to remain the default for some internal reasons. So linux is at /dev/hda7 Usually I create a bootdisk during istall, and use it to get back in linux, after perform a dd of the bootsector. Is this a known problem? _Thanks Richard __ Do you Yahoo!?

[expert] Which Mandrake to Buy?
OK, I have some money, would like to support Mandy as much as I like using it. I am intending to upgrade an 8.2 machine (not updates for it anymore, even security, right?), who basic function is running 2 webservers, (virtual) and as an anonymous ftp server. The anonyftp files are on a promisetech raid array, hooked with an adaptec 29160 scsi card. The download version of 8.2 worked 100% for me. Now that i was considering purchasing the 9.2, I can see lots of versions out therePowerpack, Pro-Suite, Discovery, Corporate Server!! It is not for home usebut yet don't need all the business/selling language associated with the versions...all I need is a Good working Mandrake 9.2, whereby I can download updates without passwords!! as I have always done with 8.2. Basically same Freedom, but not Free ($0.00) We all understand the process consumes money! Which one should I go for? __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

RE: [expert] Which Mandrake to Buy?
OK, the consesus seems to be buying Mandrake Club membership, and most ppl prefer the download edition. (mandrake, maybe dont spend too much time making all those other editions...) I am just hoping Mandrake wont drop the ball on the downloaded edition, and stop offering updates, like Redhat did (kind-off)...thus only supporting the paid for editions.

[expert] PS hanging due to NFS?, Cant KILL
Hi All, I run an openmosix cluster using Mandrake, and had problems with PS hanging or whole system for that matter. It is still an ongoing issue for a while now, i took it up to openmosix guys, and response is that 90% of the time its network related, the rest 10% hardware! Tracing down the problem today via /proc, trying to read every cmdline for a process, it hangs on PID=25583. Ran strace for `ps`, hanged same location (log below) open(/proc/25583/status, O_RDONLY)= 7 read(7, Name:\tchange_missing\nState:\tD (d..., 511) = 463 close(7) munmap(0x40013000, 4096)= 0 open(/proc/25583/cmdline, O_RDONLY) = 7 THEN: cd'ed into /proc/25583 `ls` (look at exe output) lrwxrwxrwx1 stuart stds 0 Oct 28 14:16 exe - /targus/linuxfiles/stuart/patches/ver006/exp03/.nfs000a839e0001 (deleted) Not sure what that deleted line means, and all other procs don't have it. However, BIGGER problem is that this process 25583 cant be killed!! Not kill-9 or kill -KILL that helps. Its currently owned by root. Is there any other way to kill this sucker, other than a reboot?

I thought the difference between dualboot and multiboot was the number of systems? Dualboot= 2 different systems, multiboot = more than 2 different systems. Yes, dual does mean 2 - 2 exactly. But, multi means more than 1. So, the two terms can easily be confused when the actual count is two. The difference is multiboot uses some type of boot manager that is capable of switching among two *or more*, while dualboot is crude, normally incapable of more than two. AFAIK, IBM first made the distinction back before Torvalds' kernel was first used for GPL operating systems, sometime around 1987 I think, certainly by 1990. How can you run Win and Linux from the same boot partition? AFAIK, that's what win4lin is for. I've never trusted doze to share space with any other OS, and don't know how it works. What you can do is run doze (DOS 7+) and DOS (pre-v7) from the same FAT partition, or DOS and older OS/2 versions from the same FAT partition. I have several systems on my pc and each system is on it's own partition(s). All are started by LILO in MBR. What kind of boot is that, a dualboot or a multiboot? And if that is what you call multiboot, how does dualboot work? Dual means exactly two. You're using multiboot if you see a startup menu, such as LILO, which offers more than one partition to choose to boot from. For DOS/doze or DOS/OS2 dualboot, you use an active system switcher utility to switch active kernel and startup files just prior to using the other system to reboot from. Dunno how win4lin works, but prolly something functionally similar. I've been running Linux now for several years but never heard that distinction. But I'm always happy to learn.

I finally got my 9.1 Mandrake working
wonderfully as a server. All my
virtual web pages work wonderfully.. and now I
am ready to open an FTP
connection so I can finish uploading a ton of
files from a different
computer.
Only problem is, I don't know how to get FTP
to work in this version.
I've downloaded PROFTPD and tried to get that
to work, but after a few
questions to the PROFTPD mail list, and a few
days of searching Google
for
help, and reading the PROFTPD faq, I still
can't FTP to my new server.
The people on the PROFTPD mail list won't even
reply to my questions.
Should I even be using PROFTP? What can I do,
if even for a basic FTP
setup, to get FTP to work on my server? I'll
be glad to remove
PROFTPD
and use whatever works.
Any suggestions will be happily appreciated.

Subject: [expert] All I want to do is FTP
I finally got my 9.1 Mandrake working
wonderfully as a server. All my
virtual web pages work wonderfully.. and
now I
am ready to open an FTP
connection so I can finish uploading a ton
of
files from a different
computer.
Only problem is, I don't know how to get
FTP
to work in this version.
I've downloaded PROFTPD and tried to get
that
to work, but after a few
questions to the PROFTPD mail list, and a
few
days of searching Google
for
help, and reading the PROFTPD faq, I still
can't FTP to my new server.
The people on the PROFTPD mail list won't
even
reply to my questions.
Should I even be using PROFTP? What can I
do,
if even for a basic FTP
setup, to get FTP to work on my server?
I'll
be glad to remove
PROFTPD
and use whatever works.
Any suggestions will be happily
appreciated.
James

[expert] icewm exceed
I have problems with icewm I log in fine via exceed, only thing is there is no background!, only default fuzzy black-dotted screen of exceed. I am loggin in remotely, and I am on mdk9.0 On my other machine, where i log in locally (9.1mdk), it is all fine. I can use any theme i want (prefer xp), and the color is OK. With 9.0, loggin in remotely, regardless of them, i do not get a background coloronly the task bar changes when i change theme. Any ideas? I have been a big kde user...but after todays discussion, decided to jump into icewm. I like the way it loads so quickly, if only i could get it to look nice... _thanks Richard __ Do you Yahoo!?

[expert] One more try: xdmcp on two ip's??
Greetings, I have xdmcp running on my mandy 9.0, and using exceed on the desktop. Problem is it only advertises itself on the primary interface, while i have 2 NIC (2 separate networks). Is this the default behaviour, and if so, where can I allow both ips to be utilized? i.e. I can only login via xdmcp onto NIC1, NIC2 is not broadcasted. _Thanks once again in advance.

[expert] openssh-3.7p1 Mandy 9.0
Hi ALL, I have a problem with openssh-3.7p1 working on Mandy. It compiles fine, and I perform an install (on /opt/openssh-3.7p1). I can start it fine (link it up to /etc/init.d/..blah blah), so service ssh restart starts it OK. Problem is that then no-one can log in. Keeps complaining about bad passwd!! I have openssh-3.6p1 (compiled version) working OK, and I can log in with it, using same password. My problem is that I HAVE to use the latest and greatest out there, and YES, i know Mandrake has released an rpm patch for 3.6p1. But, with our internal scan, anything running a version identified as vulnerable, even if patched, is flagged. So i have always used locally compiled versions of ssh. Anyone else gone past this problem? Longing for a response/idea/suggestion/recommendation only on getting openssh-3.7p1 to work. _Thanks Richard. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Then you want 3.7.1p1.
But... and this is just a friendly warning...
3.7.1p1 has been causing a
lot of problems for various people, according to
discussion on the
openssh-dev mailing list. You might want to
ignore your scanner in this
instance and use the patched packages... it'll be
more reliable.
The latest and greatest is not always the
greatest.
Sorry, you want 3.7.1p2 (released today). They
turned pam off by default
and introduced two new vulnerabilities in 3.7.x that
weren't in 3.6.x.
How's that for wanting to stick with a patched
version?
(And people wanted 3.7 in cooker/updates... tsk tsk
tsk)

I'm on Bugtraq -- I get the alert once from
mandrakesecure, once from
Mandrake's message to bugtraq, and once from every
other Linux
distributor out there, in addition to the original
discovery argument.
Mandrake is typically pretty slow about updates
compared to RH and
Gentoo, but hopefully that'll change if/when they
hire Vincent some
minions :-)
I think all things considered, we aren't that slow.
If you're defining slow
by a few hours, shame on you, if you're defining it
by a few days, shame on
me.
I think we're fairly close to the other big players
when it comes to the big
updates.
And, also, keep in mind that RH and SuSE both employ
about a half dozen
security folks and, IIRC, gentoo doesn't have to
worry about compiling for a
number of different versions. Contrary to popular
opinion, it *does* take
time to properly compile and test packages on each
supported platform.
We also don't run our own server for updates so we
have to wait for
mirroring... RH can put the packages up and announce
it that minute, we have
to wait at least 1-2hrs before announcing or I get
flooded with you
announced it so where is it? messages, just due to
the mirroring process.
With all that in mind, I think this one-man
operation is pretty damn speedy.

Re: [expert] Complete system backup
Wow, Can go with mindi/mondo (urpmi mind) would take care of it. Or, in my case, buy a cheapo drive $30.00 gives u 40Gb nowadays, and tar cf /dev/hdb/root.tar / for i in /usr /var /opt /home /whateverfilesystem do tar cf /mnt/hdb/$i $i done So if hda dies, all u do is replace it, and boot with install disk, rescue mode, create ur new filesystems, and restore from backup drive only the files/directory into new location. then run lilo -r /mnt/hdb/ reboot with new drive. Works everytime for me. I even clone systems this way (primitive, but works!)

Best regards, Adrian - Original Message - From: Adrian Golumbovici To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 7:34 PM Subject: Complete system backup Hi all, Have an embarrasing question... I never did a complete backup of my system (I know I should be ashamed:) ) and most times I just restored it by hand step by step in case something foul happened. Unfortunatelly now my System has been running stable since last year and I changed/customized/installed so many things on my server/firewall that I am starting to shiver at the idea to redo everything from scratch if it would somehow fail... On the other hand, partial backup on such a customized installation would also be a pain as I would have to think of what things I changed and what should I backup and though I have a good memory, it would be almost futile to think of all the possible files I might want to backup. Also a partial backup might conflict if I would reinstall the entire OS and load the backup if the backup files do not fit the packages versions. So I was kinda wondering if there is such thing as a backup where to restore the whole system (including OS itself) you'd put the backup CD in and let it restore installer like. So without having to install linux first. This might also prove usefull later when I want to change the hdd of my server with a faster one. For now I have 3 older/slower hdds and because of that I am kind of limited with the partitions options. It would also be cool if I could specify by backup to ignore the current partitions/hdds, so I could restore all later on a single bigger hdd. So... Is there a way to make such a backup or am I running after windmills? :) Best regards and thanks in advance for your help guys, Adrian __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
