[leaf-user] Problem after power outage
Hello, I had a power outage yesterday morning, my leaf box wasn't affected because it's on a UPS. However my external modem is connected to the surge protector part of the UPS, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working. It was working fine prior to the power outage. I've plugged the modem in the power light comes on. When I reboot the leaf box, during POST 2 lights flash - Auto Answer Carrier Detect if I remember correctly. After that I get nothing. Typing 'pon' which should dial the modem doesn't do anything, however when checking /var/log/ppp.log it lists 'date time firewall chat[18478]:' on each line then - abort on (BUSY) abort on (NO CARRIER) abort on (VOICE) abort on (NO DIALTONE) abort on (NO ANSWER) send (ATZ^M) expect (OK) ATZ^M^M ERROR^M is there any way to figure out whether ppp0 is pointing to the wrong place or determine whether nothing is being sent to the modem or not? I'd hook the modem up to another computer, but the only one with a wide COM port is another linux box I'm unsure how to set that up either. any ideas or help would be appreciated Patrick --- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!

[leaf-user] AE editor on Bering distro
Hey, I was wondering... I like that 'ae' editor in the Bering distro. Where can I find that? I'm wanting to put it on my other machines (mandrake, slack) for quick editing on things. thanks Patrick --- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!

Re: [leaf-user] 1680 floppy is not working for me! :(
This might have been the problem when I was using the gui (KDE in Mandrake), but when I had started using my leaf box, a couple times I had tried to mount /dev/fd0 it caused all sorts of problems generally wouldn't allow me to even read the floppy if it even mounted. Ever since then the only way I mount floppies via console is mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1680 (or 1440, etc). Thanks for the suggestion though :) Patrick - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Patrick Teague [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 2:36 AM Subject: Re: [leaf-user] 1680 floppy is not working for me! :( On Mon, 7 Oct 2002, Patrick Teague wrote: Hello, Hi, I've encountered this problem too, and my mistake was that i mounted with /dev/fd0, and, the corect way is to mount it with /dev/fd0u1680.

[leaf-user] Problem with grsec Protection Fault
Hello, I keep getting these grsec messages during bootup they're always at different times, mostly when it's at the point of loading ppp, dhcpd, shorwall, dnscache, or weblet. I'm wondering if this has to do with the order they're loaded in syslinux.cfg or some such? It's always at least 1 of these usually 2... They're always packages that are listed at the end of the syslinux.cfg LRP=root,etc,local,modules,ppp,dhcpd,shorwall,dnscache,weblet here's 1 of the grsec messages, the Protection Fault message shows up occassionaly. Sometimes after it has finished booting it mostly works, but most of the time, especially when at least 2 packages give the grsec message, it can't do much of anything. When it does it on ppp package it can't dial. Even going to the console entering pon it says pon: not found. If it does it on shorwall there's all sorts of problems. grsec: signal 11 sent to (sed:24895) UID(0) EUID(0), parent (linuxrc:17503) UID(0) EUID(0) grsec: more signal warnings, logging disabled for 30 seconds The current solution to this problem is simply to continue rebooting until all the grsec messages stop appearing. But this can take anywhere from 2-10 reboots average is around 5. If it was consistently the same package I would simply figure it's a problem with the package or that space on the floppy, but it seems to change with each reboot. Any ideas as to what the problem is? Patrick Teague --- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?

In your first posting, you mentioned you had trouble with the CompuServe setup example not working for Earthlink. After setting up for Earthlink, do you have suggestions for improving or adding to the docs? Jacques is really good about incorporating suggestions. Maybe having connection info on how to connect to several different ISPs for examples or perhaps more information as to what exactly is going on. I used to be able to do all sorts of things with modems under dos, but it's been so long I can barely remember anything. I do remember there being an AT setting that most modems had that allowed you to set the volume (S0, S1, etc or S=1, S=2, etc). Would this be an extra AT command just prior to ATDT? or would this be a part of ATZ? I can't remember whether ATZ is the reset or part of the setup... I seem to have lost my USRobotics CD case with all sorts of useful AT commands :( If I have time somewhere between now sometime I'll see if I can find generic AT commands send them Jacques' way as extra info to include. thanks for the help :) Glad to help. I just read the PPP configuration information from the URL above. It seemed to do a fair job of describing the differences between the Compuserve example and providers using PAP like Earthlink. I am probably biased from having some Linux PPP experience though. If you have suggestions for improving the docs, send them to the list. Jacques is good at incorporating them. Ok, now I feel like a complete idiot... I only read that 5 or 6 times over the last 2-3 weeks. I must have been asleep when I glanced over it again the other day. Then again that wouldn't surprise me with this new job... we're setting up a new warehouse, 6am-6pm Mon-Sun is standard, I drag home fall asleep on the computer :) However, I'm not sure what exactly PAP or CHAP authentication is I only have a vague idea of what the windows RAS server is. Prior to asking all my questions I did check out the earthlink site to see if it contained any useful info... only thing I found was windows, been there, been hacked.

[leaf-user] Problems with Linksys Ethernet Card
Hello, I have a Linksys 10BaseT/BNC Ethernet Combo card (I think it's LNE2, it's definately PCI) I was hoping to use for my DSL connection. So far the only info on the appropriate drivers I've found has suggested using tulip. However, tulip works fine to get my newer Linksys 10/100BaseT LAN Card to work, but for some reason it can't detect the older one. I've tried loading tulip multiple times (having it listed 3 times, including various places inside /etc/modules) but that doesn't work. I've tried to have it load all of the other network card modules listed under PCI ethernet cards that doesn't work (figured it wouldn't, but thought I'd try). I've checked redhat mandrake hardware listings, not sure if any of the other distributions have hardware listings that might list the modules required (mandrake sadly does not). Working from 6-5 mon-sat doesn't help either :) thanks for the help :) Patrick --- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.

[leaf-user] Problem with 2.4.x kernel Linmodem drivers unknown IRQ conflicts
Hello, I've been trying to get some Linmodem drivers to work correctly with Bering 1.0-rc3. The drivers work on my p350 with RedHat installed with both the 2.4.0 2.4.9-13 kernels. After compiling I end up with 2 files - pctel.o ptserial.o. I've put both of these in /lib/modules made changes to /etc/modules (is this the right place?). I've tried listing them before the network module (tulip.o, which it does load), between the network module the ppp modules (slhc, ppp_generic, ppp_async, ppp_deflate), after the ppp modules. Going through syslog it seems to do some strange things, but syslog looks the same no matter where I list the 2 modules - ... VFS: Disk change detected on device fd(2,44) Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre9 (Nov 6, 2001) PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0e.0 IRQ routing confliect for 00:0e.0, have irq5, want irq 11 eth0: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at 0xca81b000, 00:03:6D:14:4B:88, IRQ 5. CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California PPP generic driver version 2.4.1 PPP Deflate Compression module registered .. This is on the exact same system I've been running RedHat on (I wanted to test it on a system I knew worked). My only problem is I'm unsure where RedHat has the startup modules listed or else I'd check that to see how it loads these modules in what order. eth0 is a LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card the drivers disk has tulip.c (I did not compile this though, I used the tulip.o in the Bering Modules tar). I've also tried to view 192.168.0.254 because the weblet module is running, but I get an error saying it can't find the server. 192.168.0.254:80 brings up an invalid syntax error, pinging it times out.
