Re: [expert] How to install firewall?

Yeah, be sure to read _carefully_ the license.  What a rip!  Try
something that is actually free, like Freesco (www.freesco.org).  Runs
on a floppy, or from the hard drive.  Basic floppy install takes less
than 10 minutes if you have all the information you need, and no oddball
hardware.  Otherwise it takes 15 ;)

[expert] Firewire for Linux?

2000-06-13 Thread James

I have 2 computers.  A PC that is my main box and, a shiny new G4 mac
that dual boots OS 9 and and Yellow Dog Linux.  I am at the point of
trashing OS 9 and going completely Linux on it.  Here's my question.  I
have a 10 GB external firewire Hard Drive that I'd like to hang off my
PC(I know I should've gone SCSI).  I've confirmed drivers for Windows NT

possible to hang the external and use it in Linux, or do I need to leave
it on the G4 and use it as Network storage?  Any help would be
appreciated.

Re: [expert] Defrag counterpart in MDK

2000-06-13 Thread Monte Milanuk

there is a program called 'defrag' which does what you want.  There are
a couple of caveats, though.  

A)  Pretty much un-necesary w/ a decent filesystem like ext2 (what 
 
about ReiserFS?)
B)  You have to unmount the filesystem you want to defrag before you   
 
start.  You can't defrag on the fly.  That may work on a   
 single-user
system like Win9x, or NT/2k where remote users don'tactually log on
to the server like in *nix, but in a multi-user OS, it's generally
considered a bad Idea.

You cannot "login" like the WinX machines do.  To add the Linux computer to

 Add your Linux box NETBIOS name to the domain.

 Configure Samba, I'd recommend SWAT or Webmin.

 smbpasswd -j DOMAINNAME
 I cannot remember it the above it the exact syntax.  Check the doc /usr/doc
 the information is located there.
 Restart Samba

 Goto Freshmeat or Linuxberg to find software to browse ala "Network

 If you have problems with nmb starting remove the WINS configuration from

Not quite,what you are talking about is fsck - file system check,

[expert] Suggestion

2000-06-13 Thread Irwan Hadi

My friend wants to make a linux server with Oracle 8i, which can be 
accessed for students with windows client, for an Oracle Class. The 
hardware is a dual P III 800 Mhz, with 1 giga RAM , and RAID 5 controller, 
with 5 X 8 giga = 40 giga total.
Is there any idea what to install on the server, so students with windows 
client can access it ?
I'm planning to install Samba, Mars NWE (there is an existing Novell Network).

Is there any problem with the ODBC then ?

Beside that, can the server boot directly from the RAID devices, or should 
I use other storage with is not connected to the RAID Controller ?

Thanks.

[expert] Ducking the DUL

Hi!

I'm on a dial-up connection with Mandrake 7. Following Civilme's
inspirational email which came through on the digest yesterday, I
decided to bypass my ISP's smtp set-up and send mail out there
myself.  The ISP's outward post system is erratic to say the
least, and if it goes wrong this way I know who to blame...

Freeserve is pretty big in the UK and they will not accept mail
from my humble machine.  

Can anyone tell me 

A. What I need to do to fix this, if it is fixable.

B. Where to find a good guide to Networking that an idiot like me
can understand - ie really simple.

TIA

Maybe, presumably the DUL list doesn't contain *every* ISP's dial-up

[expert] Problems with Rage Pro 128 w/7.1

2000-06-13 Thread Norman Carver

We have two brand new Dell machines here that
are identical except for mouses and monitors.
I installed 7.1 and chose to try XFree 4 and
everything worked fine.  The other machine we
have had nothing but problems with trying to install
Linux (neither the COL2.4 nor RH6.2 graphical
installs worked).

Did an mdk7.1 install on the problem machine and
chose XFree 3.3.6 instead since the owner wanted
less problems.  Ho, ho.  However, when the machine
boots mdk, it hangs when X is starting.

I was seeking advice about how to best approach
this.  Obiously, we need to try to change the
X configuration.  Is there a way to prevent mandrake
from going into the graphical startup (xdm/kdm) during
the bootup?  (Could neither kill X nor get to console
once it attempted to start up.)  Once we can get
a console, any suggestions on what we might tryu?
(The machine's owner isn't willing to spend lots of
time fussing, and, well, it isn't *my* machine.)

Also, doesn't the boot disk that is created during
the install allow you to boot up so that you can
mount the system on the hd and work on it?  I thought
that was the point of the rescue option, but that asks
for an image disk to use for the root filesystem.
What is it looking for?

Thanks,
Norm

[expert] helium - my fault!

Hello experts

I beg you to forgive me for my outbirst in "helium - deeper inhalation".

In a moment of insight I thought that my harddrive might be faulty. I
lifted everything over to a new drive and checked the originals with
gftp. Some of my files were corrupted and a format with check showed a
much smaller harddrive. It is dumped.

I will try to not write mails in that state any more.

[expert] Invisible mouse pointer with XFree 4.0

2000-06-13 Thread Olivier Dugeon

Hi,

I just install Mdk7.1 with an G400 double head video card. Under XFree
3.3.6 all work fine. But under XFree4.0, the mouse pointer are
invisible. xsetroot -cursor (font or bitmap) give no error but no

What's wrong? 

My mouse is an MouseManPlus from Logictech (well found by XFree 3.3.6
and imwheel)

1) Is it possible to modify the install options after the disk is

happens to include a browser. If you don't believe me, take a look at the
Windows SDK. Many functions now have in the quick reference not only the
operating system and version where they run (e.g: NT 4 SP6 or later) but
the version of IE where they are present. Other functions have features
that are only available with certain versions of IE. Welcome to DLL Hell,
squared.

And then there is the definition of an upgrade: trading old bugs for new.

I don't think it is just a library issue. For one thing, I believe in
order to be POSIX compliant, you have to be able to seek from any point in
a file to any other in one function call (which is why I immediately
looked at the man page for lseek). To do that for a file of size greater
than 2 GB, you have to have a way to indicate more than 2 GB to the lseek
function, and that means either using a single 64 bit value for the input,
or using (as NT does) two 32 bit values (yucch).

It can be done, obviously. However, either solution would break a lot of
existing programs, so it is the sort of thing to do only at a major
revision.

[expert] Backing everything up

2000-06-13 Thread James

I'm trying to find the best method for backing up my vital files from my
server to a writable CD.  I am using Mandrake 7.02 and I am wondering if
there is a common procedure for backing up things like pop3 mail users,
settings, linux configuration, or any other thing I can't think of right
now. 

Manually selecting files to back up is very tedious, and I'm hoping
there is a better way to do this.. and even if I wanted to back up my user
settings (like users that only have pop3 accounts) manually, I wouldn't
know how to do this while maintaining their status.  How do I do that?

Thanks.
