Re: [expert] how to set routing at boot?
Quick lesson in subnetworking, because I think the problem isn't your IPtables-settings but your network layout. 192.168.0.x is a class C network address. 192.168.0 is the network address, and the last number is the host-portion of the address. If all PCs have an address beginning with 192.168.0 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0 they are on the same subnet, and don't need routing. If you need to separate your LAN into difefrent subnets, use 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x etc... Creating a subnet with mask 255.255.255.255 isn't possible, because that way you don't have any broadcast/network-addresses. If you think this goes into the right direction, please give more details about your LAN and ask for more information :-) regards, Steven (CCNA) On Sat, 2003-06-28 at 20:47, SainTiss wrote: Well, what I *need* e.g. on the gateway is something like this: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 192.168.0.3 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 00 eth2 192.168.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 00 eth1 213.118.248.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 0 00 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 00 lo 0.0.0.0 213.118.248.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth0 However, by default those upper 2 rules aren't there, and instead there's a rule like this: 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U0 0 0 eth2 So in other words, by default ALL LAN traffic is routed through eth2, while obviously traffic with 192.168.0.2 should be routed via eth1.

Re: [expert] lilo ?? install 9.1
I think the MBR can't be of any trouble, because it is completely overwritten by the bootloader (as far as I know) It's only a small space, where a link to the rest of the booting files resides. Is it really possible to manipulate the MBR so that it can cause troubles with other OS' ? I know some windows-versions rewrote the MBR on startup, but I never experienced this with win2k. (I used lilo as bootloader) according to my personal experiences, winXP sucks bigtime. The only 'good' windows versions I know are NT and 2000 (NT, btw, wasn't developed by MS but bought from some other company, and 2k was NT + some extra features) Again, I could be wrong, but that's why I write this and hope for replies :-) Steven On Thu, 2003-06-12 at 22:07, richard bown wrote: Hi all I've had a real bad experience using a hard drive that previously had winxp on it.

If the former, I don't think that is possible - to change a filesystem generally requires formatting the partition to the new FS. If the latter (which makes more sense, in light of your comment about Partition Magic), then google for it.

yeah, I know...
a long search revealed that PERLPROXIED most be enabled in the init script
So i took a look and found this (in /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd):

PERLFILE=-f /etc/httpd/conf/httpd-perl.conf

which seems to be testing to make sure http-perl and http are there.. they
both are...
and if they are, to define PERLPROXIED
So that appears to be correct.
Then in httpd.conf I see this:

RewriteRule ^proxy:.* - [F]
RewriteRule ^(.*\/perl\/.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}:8200$1 [P]
RewriteRule ^(.*\/cgi-perl\/.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}:8200$1 [P]
/IfDefine
Which appears to do the rewritting to port 8200 that calls to /perl or
/cgi-perl are
supposed to do.
Since I know that mod perl is working fine when I specify port 8200
manually.. the problem would have to be the rewritting..
but it all seems right.. so I am at something of a loss here..

Re: [expert] pam problem
Found the solution, yeeha :-) I found entries to pam in ~/.gnome2/session I edited the file, but the entries came back immediately so i opened a tty, and did init 3 vi ~/.gnome2/session Deleted all entries refering to pam completely (indicated by the numbers at the beginning of the line) Changed the value num_clients (one more than highest client-number in file, because it starts from 0) init 5 And now it seems to be OK... I'm sure I didn't had to give such an explination at the [experts]-list, but maybe some less-experienced user like myself tries a search on this subject :-) Steven On Mon, 2003-06-02 at 01:36, Steven Broos wrote: Since I've tried to run harddrake, I have something strange with PAM.

Re: [expert] dependency problem...
I had glib and all the other needed packages installed, but not the (dev) libraries.I installed the libs this morning, and everything works perfect right now. Well, learning linux is trial and error, not ? :-) I'm familiar with it since a long time, but never used it intensively until now, so I still have a lot to learn. Anyway, thx for your help!

Re: [expert] Script help needed
So if I completely understand it, there is no .bak file in the beginning ? mv and cp don't see this file, so they assume the sourcefile is newer than the not-existing destination file.

I removed the port-replicator and its settings, but somehow drakconnects keeps popping them back up (it is not connected). As a result, the Xircom card comes up, but doesn't do DHCP.

[expert] dependency problem...
Hi there, I'm running Mandrake 9.1, with (I think) Gnome-2.2 As far as I know, Gnome-2.2 needs glib-2.2, or at least a very new version. So I suppose a fairly recent version of glib is installed on my computer. When I try to install gaim (or some other programs) I get an error that my glib-version has to be =1.3. I tried to install glib-2.2.0 myself, but it doesn't help. I tried to install other apps, but most of them don't want to configure because they can't find the right dependencies, which, by the way, has to be there! I tried putting the paths /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf, I tried to update some env.-variables (GTK...) but nothing works. I tried configuring programs with --nodeps, and yes, it compiles. But I can't run it... Does anyone has an idea how I can fix thix, so that every new installation can find the right dependencies in the future ? I use Linux since several years, but started using it as desktop system right now, so consider me a newbie :-) Thx in advance Steven
