Re: [expert] access to remote tape drive
Sorry, my reply was in french, i must be tired :) Here is the translation : Hi, Default configuration of nfs server is to do "root squashing". It means that the uid of root is squashed to nobody when root try to acces to a nfs volume. If "nobody" is not allowed to access the volume, the server will reply "permission is denied". You can disable this security by adding the no_root_squash parameter. For more information, see man exports Sorry again for my poor english. -- Sylvain GIL - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Thanks, Bonjour, Le comportement par défaut du server nfs est de faire du "root squashing". Lorsque root accède à un fichier à travers nfs, son uid est squashé en un autre (nobody en général). Pour désactiver cette sécurisation, il faut préciser "no_root_squash". Plus d'info : man exports -- Sylvain GIL - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

It would be nice if the user who answer the question can give some feedbacks after receiving more than 5 replies. It will limit threads lenght and same replies.

First, what do the logs say ? Did you install tcp wrappers ? If your /etc/inetd contains line like : telnet stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd then the answer is "yes". If the answer is yes you have to allow connections in /etc/hosts.allow -- Sylvain GIL - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Ok, read the following :

>myhostname in /etc/postfix/main.cf
Your MTA postfix refuse to start because your hostname is not resolved
correctly. If it's not a valid hostname (i mean resolved by dns). You
can add a line in /etc/hosts with your ip address and your hostname.
If you are in trouble with mailer configuration, i suggest you to
deliver your mail locally with procmail. Here is what my ~/.fetchmailrc
looks :
-- cut here -
set daemon 60
poll pop
protocol POP3
username your_user_name_on_pop_server
password your_password_on_pop_server
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %s"
-- end cut -
With the following ~/.procmailrc, all your mail will be delivered to
~/Mail/inbox :
-- cut here -
:0:
* ^From.*
{
:0
Mail/inbox
}
-- end cut -

Take a look at the following lines, this is what i use to switch from
jdk1.1.6 to jdk1.2 . I did it yesterday, it seems to work.
-- CUT --
# =-=-=-=-=-= jdk classpath =-=-=-=-=-=-=
JAVA_CLASSPATH=/usr/local/jdk116_v5/lib/classes.zip:.
JAVA2_CLASSPATH=/usr/local/jdk1.2/jre/lib/rt.jar:.

.jar
java1 () {
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk116_v5
export PATH=$BASE_PATH:$JAVA_PATH
export CLASSPATH=$JAVA_CLASSPATH:APACHE_CLASSPATH
}
java2 () {
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.2
export PATH=$BASE_PATH:$JAVA2_PATH
export CLASSPATH=$JAVA2_CLASSPATH:$APACHE_CLASSPATH
}
# default setting is jdk1.1
java1
-- END CUT --
and the following in my /etc/profile
-- CUT --
