Probably due to my own stupidity, the host name of the remote machine is Ernie.schroder.com. This may be my problem. when I try to run the script, I get: snip Performing backup... Ernie.schroder.com: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) snip Is this a syntax error or due to my hostname? Suggestions? I havn't used rsync that much but check out rsyn's man page and especially the --rsh parameter. You should propably add someting like --rsh=ssh to the rsync command.

(I didn't enable anything on the HDs yet) Perhaps did you mis-config your kernel. Look in IDE/ATAPI options to see if you enabled the driver corresponding to your chipset. What chipset ? My motherboard chipset is nForce2, but I don't see it listed anywhere (maybe it is another chipset ?). Thank you. I have nForce2 and it uses one of the amd chipsets.

[gentoo-user] How to configure xdm to accept connections from other boxes?
Hi, I'm trying to configure xdm to accept connections from other machines in the network. I've done it once to a Mandrake box but I do not have those conig files available and I'm not getting very far with the default gentoo ones. This is what I have done: - I commented out the last line in xdm-config: !DisplayManager.requestPort:0 - Removed comments from these lines in Xaccess: * #any host can get a login window * CHOOSER BROADCAST #any indirect... Is there some other things I need to set up? (Like permissions or..) Jussi Sirpoma -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

A little bit of Googling around yielded that as recently as April 2003 there were Windows XP driver updates for that chipset having to do with hard drive controllers. I wonder if the installation process has provided you with equivalent Linux drivers? Or do equivalent Linux drivers even exist yet? Is there a kernel option for NForce chipsets like there is for AMD, Via, Intel, etc? Or are you using a vanilla kernel configuration? I have an MSI board with NForce2 and it seems that the NForce2 IDE controller is based on (or is) one of the AMD chips. A quick look shows me that I have at least CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74XX=y in my .config. Best Regards, Jussi Sirpoma -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Testing memory
Hi All, Does any of the gentoo packages contain tools or other ways to test the memory. I have had problems compiling some of the larger packages (bug 20600) and I would like to verify that at least the memory is working as it's supposed to. Best Regards, Jussi Sirpoma -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The memtest86 was just what I needed. The memory was not the problem but running the test caused the cpu temperature to rice to ~60 C (140 F) after only 7 minutes of testing. So it seems that my problem is overheating. Jussi Sirpoma -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
