The dhcpd.leases file on the dhcpd server has an entry for test box that is identical except that it shows a.b.c.s for the IP while the test box itself has a.b.0.s (notice the 0 instead of c). The entry has a different IP address than the machine did with the previous NICs, so it had to of worked properly at least once. Also there are no entries with the a.b.0.s in the dhcpd.leases file while at the same time the machine grabs its info without reporting errors. Something else that I noticed is that Mandrake's RPM manager reports that I have the original dhcpcd client on the machine. I am wondering if something else got updated and messed things up or if there is something else going on that I haven't thought about yet. I also thought that it is a little ironic that this very same NIC I am having problems with now had been dishing out IP addresses to my network until about 55 days ago when I decomissioned my AMD K5-75 (due to the motherboard flaking out).

Guess you really didn't notice they both suggested the same thing (ops, include me and Civ also)? James gave you a nice tip that apache should be configured to actually follow symlinks, but if I remember it well that's the default behaviour. Wooky Almost, the other guys suggestion was close but scary. His method created a symlink directory named as the default server doc file itself! ...and at the root of the directory tree! Making the server useless to serve other docs properly. He would have to change the default from index.html to default.html, index.php, or something to that effect.

[expert] Finding Files in MDK 8.2
Hello List I have just installed MDK 8.2 in VMware and cannot find where wmware-linux-tools are located (after doing the preliminary install from vmware itself. In every previous linux distro that I have used I would have used locate wmware-linux-tools. However, for some reason I cannot fathom, that wonderful tool (i.e. locate) has been left out and find is hardly a reasonable substitute. I just finished reading 3 pages of docs on find and it seems a little...complex. 2 Questions: 1) Is there a reasonable substitute for locate other than find? 2) Does anyone know where the install.sh script for vmware-linux-tools gets burried on 8.2? TT There are other programs like whereis, slocate(oops! that is actually locate), and find should be did like so: find /dir -name 'my.slf' -print substitute /dir for the directory you are trying to look in and it will recursively read every sub folder in that directory tree. Of course replace my.slf with the search that you are seeking (ie *.bin, mandrake-re*, and README) Don't forget the single ' quotes.

YOu are right about getting the drive to at least behave like a cdrom drive first. Because once he has it doing that, he can then install the appropriate drivers for cdwriting depending on his hardware. I use ide-scsi as that is what supports my hardware. When you make the cdrom dev (ie /dev/hdd) from scratch for the first time, use MAKEDEV not mkdir. But that shouldn't be necessary if you have devfs installed and running or if diskdrake already has it as /dev/hdd. You might have to recompile your kernel for that support if it isn't present. After getting the drive to at least behave like a cdrom drive, load the appropriate cd writing modules, after doing modprobe ide-scsi (in my case), run the command cdrecord -scanbus. That should detect your cd writer and with that information, you should then be able to do as you were once able to do.

Re: [expert] cannot recompile kernel on 82 (rpm --rebuild)

I am intimately familiar with all the options. I am interested in rpm --rebuild kernel, because I am interested in rebuilding the default mandrake 8.2 kernel, with one new patch applied. I intended, after checking that --rebuild worked (which it didn't, and which it should have), to add the h323-newnat13 patch to the kernel.spec file in the rpm, and generate an mdk82-default kernel + h323 nat patch. I realize that this is a rather advanced concept, as I am in the process of generating a custom distribution derivative of mandrake (just as mandrake is derivative of redhat). Normally I read the cooker mailinglist, but since this was a problem with the 8.2 kernel, and not the cooker kernel, I assumed this was the place to ask. All I want is to generate the mdk82 kernel rpm, in the same way it was generated by mandrake. I definately assume that they generated it with rpm --rebuild, and not by hand as you suggested. I just recompiled the secure kernel because I want to put it on my Pentium 133 firewall. Look in linux/arch/i386 for the various Mandrake configurations for intel and compatible architectures. Then it's the old make mrproper, make (x|menu|old)config, make deps, etc. It took some time, but wasn't hard. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

It dehumanizes those who achieve it, and makes difficult their commerce with just plain folks, in whom good old common sense has not been obliterated by mere book learning or fancy notions. This popular delusion flourishes now more than ever, for we are all infected with it in the schools, where educationists have elevated it from folklore to Article of Belief. It enhances their self-esteem and lightens their labors by providing theoretical justification for deciding that appreciation, or even simple awareness, is more to be prized than knowledge, and relating (to self and others), more than skill, in which minimum competence will be quite enough. -- The Underground Grammarian Linux 2.4.18-6mdk i686 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Re: rsync problem (was beta2 to beta3)
Randy Kramer wrote: ... Part of the issue is that the directory must be specified relative to something. I think it is relative to something like the rsync working directory, which may be different than the ftp working directory. Thus the path you specify in an rsync command may need to be different than the path specified in an ftp command. (And I may be all wrong about this -- I was very confused at the time, and, clearly, still am.) If I had to take a flying leap at this point in time, I'd try deleting /pub from the path in your command -- that seems to be what I had to do at the carroll.cac.psu.edu site. If anybody can clarify this, it would be greatly appreciated, and I would be happy to revise the appropriate paragraphs on the WikiLearn page. (Or, since it is a wiki, you can register and revise them yourself.) regards, Randy Kramer I had to do the same thing. I removed pub from the directory in order to get it to read from carroll as well. Why this is the case is beyond my understanding at this time.

[expert] procmail qmail config
I know I should try to do some work initially with this before asking the list for any inputs, but I ask that the list forgive me, I have a small network with one computer handling the routing and firewall. I would like to add another feature to my linux server. I would like it to have a mail server to collect all of my mail outside of my network and store it internally on it's media. My problem: I have one computer setup with all of my email being pop authenticated to mozilla's messenger. When I hop to another computer, I can get new mail on that system, but I can not access my old email because it is physically on the other computer. Then it came to me... why not have all my mail on one computer? Can it be done? Will it only produce the same effect as before or is there really a solution already out there that would allow me to read saved (old) and new email from any of my networked computers? That is why I didn't try yet first and choose to rather ask the linux mandrake community if there was such a program and if there is, how to configure it to work the way that I want? tia altoine Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Simply pick one of your computers to be the main computer for the purposes of mail, then share your ~/home/mail directory (or Mail, or whatever) on the network. On the other computers, simply point your mail client to that shared directory. One disadvantage -- the computer you designated as main should always be up when you are using any other computer to look at mail, so all the mail gets to and stays in that shared directory. (I do this in Windows, and I even (for a short period) read the mail on the Windows main computer using Netscape 3.0x on Linux.) The next way is somewhat similar, except set up an imap server on that main computer, then read your mail from the other computers using an imap client.

The computer that I want to grab and share all my email from will and always is up (it is my router/server). Isn't there an inherent flaw or security issue with imap?
