Subject: cdrom driver
Date: Mon, 25 Dec 2000 05:15:41 GMT
Hello,
I have momitsu cdm-j514. works fine with win98. I installed debian
2.2.17 and boot up shows hdb as cdrom atapi with some uniform version.
I am unable to mount it as I donot know how to mount it to what. I
donot have /dev/cdrom and donnot know how to make one as probably need
appropriate driver for it or may be in modconf/cdrom selection one
would be created on successful loading. I tried to install each cdrom
driver but all failed.
I checked on yahoo for momitsu and found that company is out of
business. could one guide how to get this cdrom drive to work with
linux/debian 2.2.17.
Thanks.

You need to un-install all the kde*, qt*, libmng* and flex* rpms first.
Yes you will come across many dependency issues, then you need to

If you manage to remove all the above mentioned packages, then installing

Welcome to Linux-land!
I have momitsu cdm-j514.

This means that Linux says "hello" to the hardware.
Now lets address the fleshware.
To mount it, first read 'man mount'.
It will tell you to prepare a mount point, usually a directory, lets
say
/cdrom. Then you have to tell the mount what file system to use when
addressing this device. So the command, as root, will be:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /cdrom.
I am unable to mount it as I donot know how to mount it to what.
Hope this answers you first question.
donot have /dev/cdrom and donnot know how to make one
/dev/cdrom is a soft link pointing to another device, in your case
hdb.
So in your case create one, like this:
ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom
It will create an entry in /dev directory, which will show like
@cdrom,
but will point to hdb.
And read the man pages.
Thanks.
Welcome.

There are two issues here, at least with respect to DVD and the DeCSS

Your objection is to the use of DeCSS because it infringes #1. It

They're trade secrets. That means that once somebody reverse engineers

Do you have a non american layout on your keyboard? If you do you can
have problems when booting into singlemode and such. The problem arises
when you have a password that includes characters like underscores and
such.
I had this problem in slack. I use non alpabetical characters in my
passwds
and the swedish layout that I use differs from the american. I did a
stupid thing
to my slackbox and it crashed. It wouldn't boot right so I tried single
mode, and
it didn'd let me in. Then I saw that the right keymap wasn't loaded and
I had to
find where my special characters was on the american keyboard layout.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
First update your kernel to the latest stable version 2.2.18, you can find
it in http://www.kernel.org.
Then configure your kernel and modules. One of the first options on the
kernel is selecting the CPU. I advise you to click on the help button on

I don't like KDE nor GNOME i think it's a cheap copy of Windows. I prefer

Hallo,
Ich beschäftige mich erst seit 3 Wochen mit Linux. (blutiger Anfänger)
Ich hab den Samba-Server und das Masquerading installiert,
um mit meinem Windows-Rechner auf's Dateisystem bzw.
auf's Internet zuzugreifen.
Der Samba-Server wird mit dem INETD-Dämonen automatisch gestartet.
Das Ganze funktioniert auch recht gut.(nach tagelangem Kampf mit der
Tastatur)
Nur der Samba-Server ist beim Download so langsam (ca. 150 KByte/sec. )
Beim Upload geht's schnell. ( ca 1MByte/sec.)
Ich hab eine 10MBit-Ethernetkarte (Realtec) drin,
aber das kann eigentlich nicht der Grund für die schlappe
Downloadrate sein.
Der Rechner ist übrigens ein K6-2 300MHz mit 128MB Ram.
Muss ich vielleicht irgendwo was an der Konfiguration des Servers
ändern, damit die Kiste mehr ausspuckt???
Für Ratschläge wäre ich sehr dankbar.

Hello everybody,
I have some problems using the gnu tar program on RedHat linux 6.2 with the --exclude
directive and
with --new-volume-script directive as well
It does not do what I want.
For the first directive (--exclude) I want to exclude a whole directory ; so I write
--exclude=/exclude/this/one but It does not work !! I had a look in the man pages and
in the info
pages but I dont understand quite well.
Could someone give me an example for excluding an entire directory like
/this/is/a/directory/I/want/to/exclude.
For the --new-volume-script, tar seems to not execute my script. Has someone ever used
this tar
directive and how ?
An example would be very useful for me.
Thanks

Who said I want it to "succeed on a wide scale"? All that means is that
it is going to look more and more like the OS's that I dislike. The more
an OS appeals to the "common man", the less it tends to appeal to me.
For years people have said, "The good thing about Linux tho, is that

1. This problem with RH is probably caused by the fact that KDE is using
Gnome icons and KDE icons. You can find the icon which will probably be in
the /usr/share/icons/... folders.
KDE under RH tends to use hicolor folder (if you have that option selected
in KControl panel) subfolder 32x32 (4 subfolders underneath each size
folder, ie 32x32, 16x16, etc). Cp to your /home directory and edit with
Gimp to 16x16, rename it foo_16x16.png and put it back into the folder and
use it.
2) PPP problem is probably caused because KPPP is linked to a file called
help console for whatever dumb reason. Go to /usr/bin/ and locate file. If
linked to help console - delete it. Do chmod +s /usr/sbin/kppp; ln -sf
/usr/sbin/kppp /usr/bin/kppp That should do it for you.

If you want to increase your system speed then put your swap on another

If this was the right driver I would have expected a message reporting the
card memory address, interrupt and its hardware address. As there is no
response I think that either this is the wrong driver or that the system
hasn't been told to use this module for eth0.
In /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules, depending on your system, there
should be a line that says "alias eth0 via-rhine" or whatever the module you
intend to use is. If this is OK I suggest you try some different modules. If
you provide some more data on the network card e.g. chipset, ISA or PCI, 10 or
100 Mbit I could narrow it down.
In the absence of more data try rtl8139 or ne2 or ne2k-pci. Someone else has
suggested getting the latest drivers - could be worth a try if nothing else
works.
I have a DFE-530TX+ (10/100Mbit) and it works fine with the rtl8139 module.
Good luck.

It's possible to install RPM's for KDE 2 as well as KDE 1, using
rpm -i , but this simply won't work unless they have been prepared for
installation in a different directory from KDE 1 or are marked
`relocatable'; in any case, they may well try to install some scripts
(/etc/profile.d/kde.*sh being particular culprits) that will break
your KDE 1.* installation.
I'd recommend installing from source, because performance will be
better and it's a safe way of making sure that your installation
of Kde 1.* is left intact. You need to install, in this order,
(i) qt = 2.2.1 (ii) kdesupport (iii) kdelibs (iv) kdebase. All apart
from (ii) are pretty hefty; expect the compilation to take a few
hours, even if your machine is powerful. Follow the instructions on
KDE's home page, and you shouldn't have any problems; use the --prefix
option to put KDE 2 in the right place (/opt/kde2 is sensible); you
may have to use the --with-qt-dir options to make sure the
installation finds the correct version of QT (I put mine in /opt/qt-2.2.1).

Well, you should have upgraded glibc at some point anyway (there was a

for KDE 2.

I am trying to use Linux as my internet gateway for a home network. When
I
bring the computer up, everthing looks good thru ifconfig:
lo - good.
eth0 - good (with internet address)
eth1 - good (with intranet address [192.x.x.x])
The problem is, when I try to PING anything, I get no response and time
out.
I have kind of fixed this problem, but would like it to work correctly.
What I've gotten so far is:
1. disable eth1(intranet) at boot.
2. After boot, lo and eth0(internet) come up good and I can PING the
outside world.
3. I then have to do the following command [ ifconfig eth1 192.x.x.x ]
4. I then take care of my IPCHAINS and can get to the outside from behind
the linux machine.
My problem is that when I try a NETWORK RELOAD, it doesn't work (I know,

Rick,
most likely the "edit" command is actually a pointer to a program called
"vi" I suggest you purchase a small unix book and do some reading on vi.
you can also type in "man vi" from the command prompt once you login to the
unix machine. this will give you a somewhat verbose and cryptic explanation
of the program.
good luck

Bash does do globbing.
However, if there is no match for filename*, that will be passed

Likewise if there is just one file which matches, and that is

And if filename* matches two or more files, each will be passed

After following the instructions in the CD writing howto (I think)
cdrecord --scanbus correctly sees the cd-rw and xcdroast will happily
burn CD's.
However, it cannot see the CD-ROM and thus I cannot configure xcdroast
to use the cd-rom as its reading device.
How can I correct this, so that xcdroast will see the cd-rom as a
reader, but the system will still automount cd's in the cd-rom drive?

You mean you want that account exposed to the slings and arrows of
outrageous crackers and spammers? They could then use your machine to
send out spam to the whole world and you would be responsable for that.
You should not run a machine like that because it is dangerous to you
and a plague for the rest of the users of the Internet. Try to figure
out a better way to accomplish what you need.

Subject: HELP: Linux instal won't recognize adaptec SCSI card
Hi,
I'm a Linux newbie and would greatly appreciate any help anyone can
provide on this. I'm trying to install Mandrake 6.1 on a new system
with a SCSI CD ROM drive (Toshiba 3701). I have an adaptec 1505 ISA
card which worked fine under windows. I boot from the floppy when I get
to the SCSI adapter screen I select Adaptec 152x. Autoprobe fails to
detect the card, as is expected since the 1505 card has no BIOS. When I
try "specify options" and type "aha152x=0x340,9,7,1" the CD ROM does
light up briefly but the install program reports "can't find device
anywhere on your system."
Any suggestions on what else to try?
Thanks,
Neal

Hello everybody,
I have some problems using the gnu tar program on RedHat linux 6.2 with the

For the first directive (--exclude) I want to exclude a whole directory ; so
I write
--exclude=/exclude/this/one but It does not work !! I had a look in the man
pages and in the info
pages but I dont understand quite well.
Could someone give me an example for excluding an entire directory like
/this/is/a/directory/I/want/to/exclude.
OK, This I can help with as I use it *all* the time.. You just need to adjust
your syntax a bit.. This is what I use for my full system backup - it will
show you a working syntax:
tar czvf /dev/st0 / --exclude /proc --exclude /mnt --exclude /dev
That example uses tar to create a zipped archive file on my tape drive
(/dev/st0) from the root directory onward skipping all information in /dev
/proc and /mnt..
Hope this helps!
-Linc.
Also, if the list of excludes becomes cumbersome, you can do something like this:
tar -cvvf /dev/nst0 / -X /home/rj/nobackup
and then create a file named "nobackup" that contains the files and/or
directories to be excluded:
/proc/*
/dos/*
/usr/lib/*
/usr/share/*
You can also build the exclude file dynamically with the "find"
command:
find /proc/ -printexclude.file
find /tmp/ -printexclude.file
[etc...]
Launch tar from a script that builds the exclude file, backs up
the system and then deletes the exclude file on completion.

Maybe permission of .rhosts is too liberal. It should be 600. 664

Are 'shell' and 'login' lines uncommented in /etc/inetd.conf (not sure how

Right. You won't save time on features you don't use.

It would save you a few bytes, but it wouldn't solve your problem. If you
run a Gnome desktop in 32M it _will_ swap. Gnome is a hog.
So what? The kernel is _not_ the bottleneck. Nor is the X server.
Gnome probably does not make a difference in functionality and most
people can do with out all the bloat. The OP should try a
light(er)weight window manager like fvwm or afterstep. And then keep
scaling down until the system reaches at an acceptable speed. 32 Megs
should provide plenty of room to run X without all of these memory
hogs weighing it down.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This note explains a solution to a LILO problem with a SCSI-controller
Adaptec AHA2940AU.
Linux had been installed on a system with three SCSI disks, connected
via an AHA2940AU controller.
The Linux resided on the third disk (bios=0x82), an 18 GB disk, in an
extended partition, starting above the 8 GB limit.
Fortunately, although the (SCSI-)BIOS dated from 1996, the AHA2940AU
supports LBA adressing in its BIOS.
After installation LILO booted fine from the boot floppy.
But when booted from disk, nothing at all happened.
The diagnostic floppy that comes with LILO 21.6 got stuck in the middle
of displaying EDD parameters.
After some investigation it was discovered that the BIOS has a bug in
the Int 13h function 48h: Get Disk Parameters.
This function returns without error (CY=0), but the buffer isn't updated
(hence, all 0).
In consequence, the diagnostic floppy and LILO itself got confused.
The problem could be solved by explicitly specifying the disc geometry
in the LILO configuration.
The geometry data was retrieved by means of the partition table
information displayed from /sbin/fdisk.
This is the /etc/lilo.conf file that solved the problem:
disk=/dev/sdc
bios=0x82
sectors=63
heads=255
cylinders=2231
boot=/dev/sdc5
map=/boot/map

by a Mylex controller. We are thinking to increse the total capacity of
this RAID. Can we just take the old drive out from the enclosure and
install the bigger capacity dirve in, then do the configuration? Is
there any information, such as configuration or whatever, in the old
drive we need to keep except our data . Did anyone do this before? We
are looking for suggestion and experience.
Thanks!

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've got a redhat 6.2 server that seems to have some bad quota
information. Each user gets a soft quota of 5MB. When I do
/usr/sbin/repquota two users show up on the report as exceeding their
quota, however, doing a find / -uid xx with the users uid, it only
returns 8k of files for each users. These users are obviously not
exceeding quota, although quota says they are. I recently did an
updated quota check, and still the same problem. We've also edquota the
users, and the same problem. One wild guess is that someone someone
else's quota information is being reported as theirs. Any one have this
problem, seen this problem? I'd really appreciate any help on this as
well. We also have two invalid users being report with repquota, but
there doesn't seem to be a correlation between the two.

The secret is most likely in the rungetty package, which is a getty
replacement that allows you to spawn programs. You may be able to do it
without, but I would investigate using rungetty.
Read the docs about starting minicom from the command line to dial the
number you want. Once you have that create a wrapper script that you
call from rungetty (i'd recommend making a wrapper script to make sure
that rungetty calls it properly).
call it dial, make it executable
#!/bin/sh
minicom [commands to autodial]
It's been awhile but I used to use rungetty on older pc's to spawn an
AS400 TN5250 screen, a lynx webpage that would allow pager messages to
be sent, and a perl script wrapper that would start and stop a TN3270
session.
Something like
1:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/rungetty /usr/local/bin/dial tty1
It is fairly straightforward, once you know how to start minicom
automatically from cmdline.

Does this blank PC have a CD drive? Slackware used to have a setup
where you could install a nice complete distribution from
floppies. When I first became aware of Linux all I had was a laptop
with a hard drive, a floppy drive but no CD drive (this was in 1995),
and a friend showed me an ad where you could get linux on 50 floppies.
It was a slackware distribution and I got it and installed it. When
you get a Slackware CD, I think there are instructions on how to make a
set of installation floppies from the data on the CD.
If you do have both a floppy and a CD drive on this blank PC, then the
redhat CD should have some images that can be xferred to floppy using
some DOS utility (rawrite?) or standard unix utilities like dd or
cat, and you can boot up from the floppy which would be able to mount
the CD (unless it's some strange, old proprietary hardware, not SCSI
or IDE), and then install the distribution.

You know, I never understood why people insist on -print on a find.
Us old-timers (from the early 1970s using the UNIX O.S.) insist on it
because, without it, you got no output (or an error message, I forget
which). As time passed, the necessity of -print was reduced (though not
eliminated), but old habits die hard. If you read the first edition of
the manual page, you would see why people, once they found a way to get
the program to work at all, never changed how they did it. Newer manual
pages are much better.
Even so, it's always safer to force an option rather than just using
defaults. Just my opinion, however.

Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2000 05:55:15 GMT
I've been completely unable to achieve communication between /dev/ttyS0 and
/dev/ttyS1 with a null-modem cable and it's driven me over the edge. I have
another win2k box with only one comm port which I've used to verify that the
null modem cable is working properly. however, even to the win2k box, the
neither serial port will send anything. The code below is written in
python, but should be legible. I've also attempted to send a file using
kermit, but it just keeps timing out.
I've verified the /dev/ttyS* files are rwx, though for some reason I haven't
been able to set the write bit globally. I've tried running as root, so I'm
pretty sure this isn't the problem.
Strange items:
- setting hardware flow control causes hang on write on the os.write( .. )
- setting software flow control hangs on the os.close(fd)
/proc/tty/driver/serial shows bytes being written but none being received
dmesg show both ports as being 16500 URT's
both com ports are enabled in BIOS
receive code is the same as the write, except for read and a signal timer to
abort.

If I have them enabled, going to a site with java (javascript is the
worst offender) will crash netscape. It locks up, turns grey and won't respond
to either mouse or keyboard. I have to go to an xterm window and kill it.
Sometimes it just crashes and disappears, but usually it does the above.
If I disable just javascript and leave java enabled, some sites with
java work, some don't. I've seen this problem with Netscape and java for some
time now, can't remember how many releases back.
I'm using Mandrake 7 at the moment, about to upgrade to RH 7.0, however,
so I'll see if that makes a difference.

Hi Dan, I don't know if my reply got through so sorry if it posts

Sounds like a routing problem. Since it's a firewall, i'm assuming
they're both on separate networks. Make sure you have two network routes,
e.g.:
- 10.10.27.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.128 U 0 00 eth1
- 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0
0.0.0.0 10.10.27.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth1
Yeah, I've tried this twice and I think that my setup is somehow wrong.
I have (example) the 128 IP lan block a.b.c.128 netmask 255.255.255.128
I want to subnet at 64 IP's, i.e.
lan block 1 at a.b.c.128 netmask 255.255.255.192
lan block 2 at a.b.c.192 netmask 255.255.255.192
I also already have a dedicated router at a.b.c.129
What I hoped could happen was that the external linux nic would be at
a.b.c.130 netmask 255.255.255.192
internal nic at a.b.c.193 netmask 255.255.255.192
This routing means that the linux box needs to use the dedicated router
as its primary gateway. This has never worked out for me, but I've been
assured that it is valid routing. It doesn't forward any traffic to the
router (and the router doesn't forward traffic through it to the
internal net.
Now that this is kind of off topic, sorry for that, but is this a bad
way to do it? Should I perhaps just replace the router at a.b.c.129
with the linux box?
Thanks in advance,

it starts with sg0

I have @home (cable) service and am setting up network access for my

an old PC, loaded RH7, and successfully enabled simple masquerading.
My wife now wants me to block all porn, violence, and hate sites. I
know that there are Internet filter programs for Windows that do this
(NetNanny, CyberSitter, etc) but have not found a program for Linux.
I believe I'd prefer a program that evaluates content "on the fly",

Is this practical? If so, would someone please point me to a suitable

I have RedHat 7.0 installed on my laptop, which I take back and forth
between work and home. At work, I'm able to send email via our SMTP
server. At home, I can connect to my ISP's SMTP server to send mail.
However, if I'm offline and send email, it _never_ gets sent when I
go online at either work or home.
I have both the Home and Office profiles configured and archive them
before switching profiles.
Do I need to configure sendmail or can I spool my email and manually
send it when I go online?

Did you compiled the serial devices for the kernel or as modules? I had a
similar problem when I compiled my kew kernel (2,2,16) with the serials
embeded in kernel, on a SuSe machine. When I "restored" the serials as
modules, the boot was normal. Do not forget to install all serial devices
(read the help, I don't remember the exact names :( ).

I just got finished building a new kernel 2.2.16. Upon booting it I got

those modules weren't included in this kernel.
Ok, I remove /lib/modules/2.2.16 and rerun "make modules_install" to
only have the modules I include in this build.
Now on boot I get a bunch of the following messages:
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4

I am trying to get Oracle 8i to load upon booting. I have a feeling
that my problem is a OS issue, not Oracle.
Well, it depends on what the definition of "OS" is :-]
I have placed a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d called oracle8i. When I run
"oracle8i start" logged on as su, it works perfectly. However, it
doesn't work upon reboot or shutdown.
You have a user named "su" with root privileges? Boy, that must be
confusing.
OK, I'm assuming you're not using Slackware here, because a Slackware
user should already know the answer to this question and writing out the
stuff for both Slackware and most other distros would take too long.
The main startup script (/sbin/init.d/boot or /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit) gets
its runlevel (X) from the kernel command line or /etc/inittab , then
goes to /sbin/init.d/rcX.d or /etc/rc.d/rcX.d and does something like
this:
for i in S* ; do
$i start
done
/sbin/init.d/rcX.d contains symlinks to the actual startup and shutdown
scripts, which are in /sbin/init.d/ . These symlinks are conventionally
named "SNNservice" and "KNNservice" where S stands for "start", K stands
for "kill", and NN is a 2-digit number signifying the order the services
get started or stopped in.
This complicated mess is referred to as the System V init-script layout.

When I print to my HP 1100 Ase there is 1/4" extra
space on the left and bottom margins. How do I
fix it?
I'm running Red Hat 6.2, using printtool to
configure my printcap. My printcap says:
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL ljetplus 300x300 letter {}
LaserJetPlus Default {}
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:\
:sh:
Additionally, HP says that it is a 600x600
resolution printer, but printtool will only select
300x300 when I pick "HP Laserjet" or "HP Laserjet
plus". When I just pick "Postscript printer" it
will let me pick 600x600, but then when I print
the PostScript test page, some ASCII PostScript
language text comes out at the top and then I get
like 4 blank pages. When I set it to "HP
Laserjet" I get the RedHat printtool PostScript
test page, but, again, with the margin's off.
Any help is appreciated.

I'm not sure if there is a commercial package available, but you could

Urgh. In case that you have the choice - get a different ISP. Now.
Try adding the "asyncmap 0xa" option to your /etc/ppp/options file
as an intermediate solution, but I'd strongly suggest getting an ISP
with a fair amount of clues. Having an asyncmap of 0xa is _very_
strange, and doesn't give me a lot of trust in ISP's operations.

What I do is pipe it through 'colcrt' which removes the special
stuff. Just text then. If you do it often, you could make a
special command script for it, like 'mangrep' or something.
Here's the top of the colcrt man page, piped through the command
itself so it won't look funny here:
COLCRT(1)BSD Reference ManualCOLCRT(1)
NAME
colcrt - filter nroff output for CRT previewing
SYNOPSIS
colcrt [-] [-2] [file ...]
---
DESCRIPTION
Colcrt provides virtual half-line and reverse line feed sequences for
terminals without such capability, and on which overstriking is destruc-
tive. Half-line characters and underlining (changed to dashing `-') are
placed on new lines in between the normal output lines.
Available options:
- Suppress all underlining. This option is especially useful for
snip
I also use this below to grep sentences, instead of just lines.
Might be of use. Uses gawk. Perl would probably be better for its
better regex's.
#!/bin/bash
##
#senten - run awk script to grep out full sentences. (joe)
if [ "$#" != 1 ]
then
echo 'usage: senten regex'
exit 1
fi
nice awk "BEGIN { RS=\".\" ; IGNORECASE=1 }
(/$1/){ print \$0\".\", \"\nxxxa---\" }" | less -M
cut here #
This uses the shell $1 for the regex, which is why it uses "BEGIN
instead of ', and the \'s to protect awk's stuff from the shell.
RS is the variable for record separator, if you don't want
regular lines ends for that. I

much swap you actually use, you'll know what is best for your style of
use.
"The rule" is completely counterintuitive to me. The more memory I have,
the less swapping my machine should do. Others implicitly agree with me
because, when people complain about too much swapping, they say to get
more memory. They do not say add more swap space. This machine has 512
Well, here is an old adage: "Theory proposes but reality disposes." A lot
of people agreed with Ptolemy, too, but he was wrong.
Not all of us can afford several hundred MB of memory in order to avoid
using swap space. And besides, modern systems like Linux no longer swap,
strictly speaking, they page. The term 'swap' is so well entrenched that
it is often used interchangably with 'page", but the techniques are
different. And, I don't care how much memory you have, sooner or later you
will either a) run a huge process using large amounts of data or b) run
many, many tasks simulaneously. Either situation will cause Linux to
employ Virutal Memory ("paging" aka "swapping"). Or, undesirably, you
might encounter an ill-coded application that creates a race condition
which causes Linux to page out of RAM and disk swap space. You will see
this, after you recover, in the messages file with references to VM
failures. If you happen to be running a desktop GUI like KDE you will
notice icons disappearing off your desktop while your CPU free time stays
at 0%. While attempting to install Corel Office 2000 their install script
produced such a situtation.
If you need swap space the best scenerio is to have it on a second drive,
not the one where /root or /bin /sbin or /usr/bin resides. And, if you
need or use more than one swap file you may want to 'nice' one to a higher
priority so that the kernel isn't switching back and forth between them,
because they are of equal niceness, while paging (which is what causes a
lot of disk thrashing. Also, make sure you haven't disabled or otherwise
changed your L1 or L2 caching, and that ALL your DMA channels are
functional. (Some cheap CPUs have reduced cache sizes or defective --
henced disabled-- DMAs.
Scot Maxwell, in "Linux Core Kernel Commentary" wrote:
"Memory is one of the most important resources that the kernel manages.
One characteristic that distinuishes one process from another is that two
processes live in logically separate memory spaces (threads, by contrast,
share most of their memory). Even if the processes are both instances of
the same program -- for example, two xterms or two Emacs -- the kernel
arranges for each process to see memory as if it were the only process
running on the system. System security and stability are improved when one
process cannot, accidently or maliciously, scribble over another's working
space.
The kernel, too, lives in its own memory space; this is known as kernel
spac, as opposed to user space, which is a general term for any nonkernel
taks's memory space.
There are various kinds of "memory":
Registers 32 bytes9ns
On-chip (L1) cache 16K 9ns
Off-chip (L2) cache 256K20ns
RAM XMB 70ns
HD XGB 9ms
As everyone knows, there is a huge DECREASE in speed between the last two,
but a huge INCREASE in capacity. Linux makes portions of that huge appear
to be memory by a process called 'Virutal Memory" (VM). Virtual Memory is
a technique of seamlessly blending access to RAM and disk, primary and
secondary storage. Applications see all of this memory as if it were
really there. It's not, that is why it is called 'virutal' -- but, thanks
to the kernel, applications can't tell the difference. To an application
it is as if we had a huge amount of RAM that is sometimes really slow.
Virutal Memory, in a sense, lies to a process about the address at which it
resides. Each process address space appears to begin at 0 and extends up
from there, making

c) it's too difficult to determine "objectionable" sites on the fly

d) something else?
All of the above. Every blocking package out there tends to block huge
numbers of sites that _shouldn't_ reasonably be blocked under the settings
they have, while simultaneously allowing through the majority of the
material that should be blocked. And they also have a nasty tendency to
block sites that don't at all fit the categories. For example, peacefire.org
has reviews and analysis of the blocking packages, and every one of the
blocking packages blocks it under all categories even though Peacefire's
pages contain _no_ material that would legitimately qualify under any
of their categories. If you want, check Slashdot's Your Rights Online
section for several pieces on blocking software ( censorware it's often
called ), including a number that hard numbers for what's blocked that
shouldn't be and what's not blocked that should.

No, your problem is probably that "vim" is a symbolic link to "gvim",
the graphical version of vim, while "vi" is a symbolic link to "vim57"
or whatever the text-mode version of vim is actually called. (A couple
of RedHat versions did this, for some reason.)
vim does not require color to work and will run even if the terminal
emulator is running in vt100 mode. However, vim will not work if the
terminal emulator is emulating a "glass tty" which might be the case if
you're using a brain-damaged Telnet client like TELNET.EXE. TERM should
be set to "linux" or "xterm-color" if your Telnet client can handle
those modes, or "vt220" if it can't handle those but can do some color,
or "vt100" if it won't work any other way.
If you must have gvim, you'll need to have an X-server running on the
machine you're telnetting from, and you'll need to export DISPLAY=IP
addr of machine you're telnetting from:0 before starting gvim.

The directory that your cgi-bin scripts are in needs to have the access
'x' permissions bit set for the user which runs apache. The script itself
will need to be at least readable by the same user, and any parent
directories will also need the 'x' bit set (e.g. chmod 751 /dir).

And to think how much cable and ADSL subscribers there are... Mail worms... damnable mail worms... (and the entrenched base of a hundred million microsoft desktops operated by clueless users). I'm curious: let's say a government system wants to just deny all access from (e.g.) the entire 24. netblock. Interesting proposition. I expect the government would just go to the owner of the block and say... "This here ATM link, and that one there, are down till further notice." That of course only in a "national emergency". What is the lowest level they can do this at? Any router. It would depend upon where one wanted the net broken, which routers would be required to be overloaded. Even if the router were not overloaded, there is a finite amount of traffic which can flow into and out of any router due to bandwidth limitations on the "pipes". Because IP and IP routing "tries" to find a path, and there are usually multiple paths to a destination, isolating a destination, would require a careful study of the network routes available before the isolation could be established via such an attack. Planning of which compromised hosts would be tasked and the tasking for each host would also be a prerequsite. Think of the network like a spider web, not like a tree, there will be "choke points" in the web which if cut, isolate a portion of the web. There will be "shortest" routes to those points and there will be "highest volume" routes to those points. In a sophisticated attack, all that information would need to be known prior to the actual attack. Now it happens that the attacker (even though he is distribuited in his attack infrastructure) is vulnerable to precisely the same sort of attack. His access can be turned off either physically (the ideal solution) or "logically" with a CDDOS (Counter Distribuited Denial Of Service). Taken to the logical conclusion, one envisions these armies of systems being dynamically tasked in a battle designed to control access to the infrastructure. Are we nearing that level of sophistication? I don't think so, but I'll bet people have been thinking along these lines for atleast a

Each script you run is started in a subshell, all shell modifications it

destroyed. If you want modifications to take effect in your current shell,
you must source the script.

Who parted? :)
I used to use "cp -a" to transfer all the directory from the old to the
new hard disk.
The next time I would used parted. You can get parted from www.gnu.org.
Here is the man page.
parted(8) parted(8)
NAME
GNU Parted - a partition manipulation program
SYNOPSIS
parted [options] [device [command [options]]]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the parted command. Complete
documenta
tion is distributed with the package.
parted is a disk partitioning and partition resizing program. It
allows you
to create, destroy, resize, move and copy ext2, FAT and FAT32
partitions.
This is useful for creating space for new operating systems,
reorganising
disk usage, and copying data to new hard disks.
Can you post/email your results if you use parted, because I am going to
use it on my next computer?

Linux Frequently Asked Questions with Answers
This is the list of Frequently Asked Questions for Linux, the free
operating system kernel that runs on many modern computer systems. The
kernel source code documentation says that Linux "aims for POSIX
compliance." Linux uses mostly free, GNU system utilities and
application software, although commercial programs are available also.
Originally written for 386/486/586 Intel/ISA bus machines, Linux
versions exist for nearly every hardware platform in existence that is
capable of running it. (Please refer to the question, "What Is Linux?"

Some programs use /usr/lib/terminfo instead of /etc/termcap. For these
programs you should upgrade your terminfo package, which is part of
ncurses.
The same is true for X terminal displays. If your distribution sets
the TERM to something strange like xterm-24-color, you can simply
reset it to a generic value from the command line:
$ TERM="xterm"; export TERM
10.3. INET: Warning: old style ioctl... called!
You are trying to use the old network configuration utilities. The new
ones can be found on
ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/Networking/PROGRAMS/NetTools/ (source only,
I'm afraid).
Note that they cannot be used just like the old-style programs. See
the NET-2 HOWTO for instructions on how to set up the old-style
networking programs correctly. Even better, see the NET-3 HOWTO and
upgrade your networking software.
10.4. ld: unrecognized option '-m486'
You have an old version of ld. Install a newer binutils package that
contains an updated ld. Look on tsx-11.mit.edu in
/pub/linux/packages/GCC/ for binutils-2.6.0.2.bin.tar.gz.
10.5. GCC Says, "Internal compiler error."
If the fault is repeatable (i.e., it always happens at the same place
in the same file--even after rebooting and trying again, using a
stable kernel) you have discovered a bug in GCC. See the GCC Info
documentation (type F1-i in Emacs, and select GCC from the menu) for
details on how to report the error. Make sure you have the latest
version, though.
Note that this is probably not a Linux-specific problem. Unless you
are compiling a program many other Linux users also compile, you
should not post your bug report to any of the comp.os.linux groups.
If the problem is not repeatable, you may be experiencing memory
corruption. Refer to the answer: ("Make Says, "Error 139."")
10.6. Make Says, "Error 139."
Your compiler (GCC) dumped core. You probably have a corrupted, buggy,
or old version of GCC--get the latest release or EGCS. Alternatively,
you may be running out of swap space. Refer to: ("My Machine Runs Very
Slowly when I Run GCC / X / ...")
If this doesn't fix the problem, you are probably having problems with
memory or disk corruption. Check that the clock rate, wait states, and
refresh timing for your SIMMS and cache are correct (hardware manuals
are sometimes wrong, too). If so, you may have some marginal SIMMS, or
a faulty motherboard or hard disk or controller.
Linux is a very good memory tester--much better than MS-DOS based
memory test programs.
Reportedly, some clone x87 math coprocessors can cause problems. Try
compiling a kernel with math emulation ("How Do I Upgrade/Recompile My
Kernel?") no387 kernel command line flag on the LILO prompt to force
the kernel to use math emulation, or it may be able to work and still
use the '387, with the math emulation compiled in but mainly unused.
More information about this problem is available on the Web at
http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/.
10.7. Shell-Init: Permission Denied when I Log In.
Your root directory and all the directories up to your home directory
must be readable and executable by everybody. See the manual page for
chmod or a book on Unix for how to fix the problem.
10.8. No Utmp Entry. You Must Exec ... when Logging In.
Your /var/run/utmp is screwed up. You should have
/var/run/utmp
in your /etc/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/*. See, ("I Have Screwed Up My
System and Can't Log In to Fix It.") Note that the utmp may also be
found in /var/adm/ or /etc/ on some older systems.
10.9. Warning--bdflush Not Running.
Modern kernels use a better strategy for writing cached disk blocks.
In addition to the kernel changes, this involves replacing the old
update program which used to write everything every 30 seconds with a
more subtle daemon (actually a pair), known as bdflush. Get
bdflush-n.n.tar.gz from the same place as the kernel source code ("How
Do I Upgrade/Recompile My Kernel?") and compile and install it.
bdflush should be started before the usual boot-time file system
checks. It will work fine with older kernels as well, so there's no
need to keep the old update around.
10.10. Warning: obsolete routing request made.
This is nothing to worry about. The message means that your version
route is a little out of date, compared to the kernel. You can make
the message go away by getting a new version of route from the same
place as the kernel source code. ("How Do I Upgrade/Recompile My
Kernel?")
10.11. EXT2-fs: warning: mounting unchecked file system.
You need to run e2fsck (or fsck -t ext2 if you have the fsck front end

similar application.]
[David Charlap]
8.10. How Do I Set the Time Zone?
Change directory to /usr/lib/zoneinfo/. Get the time zone package if
you don't have this directory. The source is available in
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/admin/time/.
Then make a symbolic link named localtime pointing to one of the files
in this directory (or a subdirectory), and one called posixrules
pointing to localtime. For example:
$ ln -sf US/Mountain localtime
$ ln -sf localtime posixrules
This change will take effect immediately--try date.
If the system uses Red Hat-style configuration files, the respective
time zone info files are /usr/share/zoneinfo and /etc/localtime.
The manual pages for tzset or tzselect describe setting the time zone.
Some programs recognize the "TZ" environment variable, but this is not
POSIX-correct.
You should also make sure that your Linux kernel clock is set to the
correct GMT time. Type date -u and check that the correct UTC time is
displayed. ("The Computer Has the Wrong Time.")
8.11. How Do I Get Dial-up PPP to Work?
This information is mainly for people who do not have a wrapper
utility like kppp or pppconfig, or are not able to get those utilities
to work correctly. If you need to manually configure PPP to dial in to
your ISP, you will need the following information:
* The port that your modem is connected to: /dev/ttyS0-/dev/ttyS3,
which correspond to COM1-COM4 under MS-DOS.
* The phone number of your ISP's data connection.
* The user name and password that your ISP gave you.
* The IP addresses of the primary and possibly secondary Domain Name
Service that you will use when dialing in to the ISP. This assumes
that you will not be using a DNS that you installed on your
system.
When you have all of this information, make sure that the programs
pppd and chat, at the very minimum, are installed correctly. In most
current distributions, they are installed in the /usr/sbin/ directory,
and you will need to be logged in as root to use them. In addition,
the following programs are also useful for configuring network
connections, determining network status, and diagnosing problems:
/sbin/ifconfig, /sbin/route, /bin/ping, /usr/sbin/traceroute.
These are the basic steps that you need to follow to configure PPP.
You must be logged in as root.
* Make sure that the serial port and modem are operating correctly.
Using a program like minicomm or kermit, you should be able to
send AT commands to the modem and receive the OK string in
response from the modem.
* Enter the primary and possibly secondary Domain Name Server IP
addresses in the /etc/resolv.conf file, using dotted quad
notation, with the nameserver label. For example:
order hosts,bind
nameserver 196.182.101.103
nameserver 196.182.101.104
The nameserver addresses in the example above are examples only.
They don't correspond to actual network hosts.
The first line, order hosts,bind, tells your networking software,
when it resolves network domain addresses, to first look in the
/etc/hosts file, and then use the bind service; i.e., the DNS
servers, which are specified on the lines that begin with
nameserver.
* Locate the chat script that PPP will use to dial the modem and
connect to your ISP. In many systems, this is either in the
/etc/chatscripts or /etc/ppp directory, and will be called
provider or something similar. You can store a chat script
anywhere, provided that you tell pppd to use it rather than the
default script. Refer to the chat and pppd manual pages, and the
information below, for details. Here is a sample chat script:
ABORTBUSY
ABORT"NO CARRIER"
ABORTVOICE
ABORT"NO DIALTONE"
"" ATDTyour_isp's_phone_number
ogin your_user_name
word your_password
This is a chat program for a simple, script based login. The chat
program uses the pair of strings on each line as a match/response
pair. When it starts, it sends the string
"ATDTyour_isp's_phone_number," where you have substituted the
actual phone number of course. It then waits for the string ogin
(a substring of the word login) and sends your user name. It then
waits for word (a substring of password) and sends your password.
If your ISP uses a different login and password prompts, and any
additional prompts, you will need to edit the script accordingly.

How Can I Boot Linux from MS-DOS? If LILO doesn't work, and if the machine has MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows, you may be left with a computer that won't boot. This can also happen on an upgrade to your Linux distribution. Re-installing LILO is the last thing that the installation does. So it is vitally important when installing or upgrading Linux on a dual boot machine, to have a MS-DOS or Windows rescue disk nearby so you can FDISK -MBR. Then you can go about using LOADLIN.EXE instead of LILO. This config.sys file is one possible way to invoke LOADLIN.EXE and boot MS-DOS or Linux. [menu] menuitem=DOS, Dos Boot menuitem=LINUX, Linux Boot [LINUX] shell=c:\redhat\loadlin.exe c:\redhat\autoboot\vmlinuz vga=5 root=/dev [DOS] STACKS = 0,0 rem all the other DOS drivers get loaded here. This creates a menu where you can directly jump to LOADLIN.EXE before all of the MS-DOS drivers get loaded. The paths and options are peculiar to one machine and should be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer. See the LOADLIN.EXE docs for options. They are the same as LILO, and options are just passed to the kernel, anyhow. [Jim Harvey] 4.14. How Can I Boot Linux from OS/2's Boot Manager? 1. Create a partition using OS/2's FDISK.EXE (Not Linux's fdisk). 2. Format the partition under OS/2, either with FAT or HPFS. This is so that OS/2 knows about the partition being formatted. (This step is not necessary with OS/2 `warp' 3.0.) 3. Add the partition to the Boot Manager. 4. Boot Linux, and create a file system on the partition using mkfs -t ext2 or mke2fs. At this point you may, if you like, use Linux's fdisk to change the code of the new partition to type 83 (Linux Native)--this may help some automated installation scripts find the right partition to use. 5. Install Linux on the partition. 6. Install LILO on the Linux partition--NOT on the master boot record of the hard drive. This installs LILO as a second-stage boot loader on the Linux partition itself, to start up the kernel specified in the LILO configuration file. To do this, you should put boot = /dev/hda2 (where /dev/hda2 is the partition you want to boot from) in your /etc/lilo/config or /etc/lilo.config file. 7. Make sure that it is the Boot Manager partition that is marked active, so that you can use Boot Manager to choose what to boot. There is a set of HOWTO's on the subject of multi-boot systems at the LDP Home Page, http://www.linuxdoc.org/. 5. File Systems, Disks, and Drives 5.1. How Can I Get Linux to Work with My Disk? If your disk is an IDE or EIDE drive, you should read the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/README.ide (part of the Linux kernel source code). This README contains many helpful hints about IDE drives. Many modern IDE controllers do translation between `physical' cylinders/heads/sectors, and `logical' ones. SCSI disks are accessed by linear block numbers. The BIOS invents some `logical' cylinder/head/sector fiction to support DOS. An IBM PC-compatible BIOS will usually not be able to access partitions which extend beyond 1024 logical cylinders, and will make booting a Linux kernel from such partitions using LILO problematic at best. You can still use such partitions for Linux or other operating systems that access the controller directly. It's recommend that you create at least one Linux partition entirely under the 1024 logical cylinder limit, and boot from that. The other partitions will then be okay. Also there seems to be a bit of trouble with the newer Ultra-DMA drives. I haven't gotten the straight scoop on them--but they are becoming a very common problem at the SVLUG installfests. When you can get 8 to 12 Gig drives for $200 to $300 it's no wonder. [Jim Dennis] 5.2. How Can I Undelete Files? In general, this is very hard to do on unices because of their multitasking nature. Undelete functionality for the ext2fs file system is being worked on, but don't hold your breath. There are a number of packages available which instead provide new commands for deleting and copying which move deleted files into a `wastebasket' directory. The files can be recovered until cleaned out automatically by background processing. Alternatively, you can search the raw disk

(if your MySQL installation is at /opt/mysql).
This file is needed (as you found out) for MySQL to run, and I don't know

I'm guessing here, but if you can use the "killall" command, you must be

At the prompt, type: ps -u username.
You will be able to see the process ID numbers (PIDs).
Then, type: kill PID (like a surgeon).

Alan,
IMHO linuxconf is a broken program, and is usually behind (time wise)
when it comes to keeping up with latest release software.
If a web interface is required, you are probably better off designing a
cgi script that runs over an ssl (https) connection. That way the old
and new passwords are not clearly visible, and security is not
compromised.
This option will still require a good deal of consideration regarding
security, but I believe it is better that the linuxconf alternative and,
for that matter, the telnet alternative you mentioned

rebooted with that. However, I can't get LILO to work. I reran lilo to
reinstall the boot loader in the MBR, but it still doesn't work (hangs
at LIL-). I also tried installing lilo on a floppy, but it hangs at

This wouldn't be too much of a problem except that the server, in
addition to the SCSI disks, has a large IDE disk which is not accessed
correctly unless the kernel is given some "append hda=..." parameters.
Of course lilo can do this.
Questions:
1. Why doesn't lilo now work? Does this mean the whole disk system is
headed South?
2. Is there some way of feeding the hda parameters to the kernel when
booting from a bootdisk?
why don't you provide us with your lilo.conf file? OTherwise there could
be many things wrong but yet we don't know b/c we don't know how exactly
lilo is configured. The layout of your partitions would also be helpful.

Hi,
I have a two harddisk stripe running fine under 2.2.18, but none of the
current 2.4.0 test or pre kernels like it very much.
After booting the 2.4 kernel, 'mdadd -a' complains that
/dev/hde1 and /dev/hdg1 (the partitions to be striped) don't exist,
even though fdisk -l lists them both. Stracing the 'mdadd' command
showed that the open("/dev/hdx1') commands did indeed get ENODEV errors
returned. This behaviour is consistent with the Raid options compiled
in or as modules.
I'm quite stumped at the moment, as I do not know where to look next.
Is this behaviour known? Can anyone give me a hint at what I may be
doing wrong?

Subject: Linux stucks on M700 when XF86 4.0.1 is running
Date: 1 Jan 2001 19:06:11 GMT
Hello,
I have installed Mandrake 7.2 on Compaq Armada M700 laptop. My M700 is
Pentium II 366 MHz, 64MB RAM, 24X CDROM model. The VGA is ATI Rage
Mobility.
XFree86 4.0.1 works good with my laptop. It automatically probes my
VGA and LCD, and I can use X without touching /etc/X11/XF86Config.
The problem is my laptop completely stucks after leaving my notebook
10~15 minutes. The screen is blank. Keyboard and trackpoint does not
work. There is no response of 'ping' to laptop. (So I cannot telnet
to my laptop.) Moreover, even the power switch does not work!!!
If I left my laptop with console mode (using Ctrl-Alt-F2 or something
like that), it does not crash. But the following error messages are
displayed every 5~10 minutes.
apm: set display: Interface not engaged
I have look through the linux kernel source. The message is come from
arch/i386/kernel/apm.c . But I cannot understand why this message occurs.
Does anyone give me the hints or solutions of my problem?
Thanks in advance.
-Sanori

Subject: troubles with lilo from rescuedisk (dont know how to handle device 0x00...)
Date: Mon, 1 Jan 2001 23:22:39 +0100
I ran into a strange lilo-problem:
I want to dual-boot a win2000 and w98-installation (each on its own
harddisk) and this seems to be unpossible with ms-tools, so I decided to
use lilo. After booting the system with a rescue-disk (suse7.0 and I also
tried suse6.0) I tried to install lilo from a proper lilo.conf to a
formated and mounted minix-floppy and test it.
But I couldnt write lilo.conf, because whenever executing
lilo -C /tmp/lilo.conf
I received the following error:
Sorry, dont know how to handle device 0x001020
(I'm not sure about the exact last 4 digits)
First I thought, my floppy or my harddisks are not recognized or such
thing. I checked the mounts, I checked the boot-messages .. no problem.
So I disabled the 'other'-sections and also the 'boot' and 'map'-line so
there should be no access to all these devices, but the error continues.
I could figure out, which device lilo means, but in my opinion the only
possible explanation is a problem with the ramdisk, where the rescuesystem
is booting from.
Any idea ?
thanx,
peter

I've been trying to upgrade kernels from 2.2.14-5.0 to 2.2.18 on a RedHat
6.2 system and have run into 2 problems. One is not a big deal but the
other is a showstopper.
The simple problem first:
2.2.18 does not load my scsi card driver (the aic7xxx) during boot even
though the module is in /lib/modules/2.2.18/scsi and modules.conf has the
line "alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx". It's not a major deal because insmod
aic7xxx works fine. But it would be nice to have it load automatically so I
could avoid the RedHat New Hardware screen everytime I reboot, which is
happening fairly often as I'm dealing with:
The showstopper:
Trying to load the Roaring Penquin pppoe client causes a very impressive
freeze. I have to reset the machine. I'm using the 2.5 version compiled
from the tar ball. Any clues as to what is going here? Are there fixes
available?
Thanks,
Seth

You mean "dynamic dns", where the ISP sends the DNS numbers during LCP?
Pppd supports this. If you are using Debian just run pppconfig and select
"Dynamic" in the "Configure Nameservers" screen. With other distributions
you may need to write the scripts yourself.

The only exception is that with SuSE the file name is .profile. That is where
I made the change.

I had a similar problem on RedHat 6.2.
I fixed it by putting the following line in .bashrc:

rename from *.png to *.png-old
rename from to *.png *.png-old

rename ??_??_???.png

I have a relatively simple plan that was working with Suse 6.1, now I
have installed Suse 7.0. All I want to do is let my #1 computer access
the internet through my #2 computer which is connected to the internet
via cable ISP. Now before I was using Squid Proxy server and added a
couple od ipchains that allowed my #1 computer through to the internet
with its IP Masqueraded, showing the servers IP instead of its own.
Suse 7 does not come with squid and I tried loading it off the old disks
and installing it but now the permissions are all not working and will
start and continue to run. I have tried configuring
/etc/rc.d.config/rc.firewal.config but I cannot seem to acces the
internet because I am using Netscape with proxy server setting that
needs
a port number to connect to.
Now this is where I am not sure how to configure what...
routing,ipchains,firewals,ip-forwarding, or anything. Sorry this is so
long but I wanted to have all the info needed to have an answer.

I have been trying some experiments with my system, and have been
finding weird behaviour of lilo which perhaps someone can explain.
I have Linux on my hdb drive, and want to transfer my hda to another

no reference to a exists. I run lilo to place LILO onto a floppy, which
boots into the hdb drive fine. I now remove the hda drive, and try to
boot from the floppy. I get the dreaded
01 01 01 01 01 01 .
I now plug that old a drive onto the master of the second ide ( ie make
it /dev/hdc). Now using the LILO on the floppy gives me LI and there
sits. Why? The LILO on the floppy should not care if the master on the
first IDE bus exists, since it needs only the hdb drive. And in
particular why in the world does it care in hdc exists or not.
You can probably get away with tricking LILO before you remove hda. Add:
disk = /dev/hdb
bios=0x80
then run rerun lilo, which will complain it's not a bootable drive. You
can ignore the message. Remove hda, reboot and cross you fingers :)

Shrug .. it depends how you want to run them. Servers don't normally go

SetUID scripts have never worked that way, as the Linux

Either your former setup included wrappers to call the scripts,
or you have been using "sudo" for it.
Agreed. But RH have done something new. It appears that suid programs
no longer can spawn processes that are also property of the program
owner. They revert to the real uid. (the workaround is to change both
reuid and euid when you go super user). I imagine that this is messing
up the suid shell that used to run his scripts.
Interesting. Thanks for the information. I'm wondering, though, whether
this really improves security that much to allow a broader access to suid
scripts. If the setUID script can be fowled into opening a root shell,
the whole concept would still be hosed , anyways. So is there really any
gain in allowing setUID scripts to be working? Apart from a questionable
need in a corporate environment, where the administrator might want to
run the same scripts as on all other UN*X systems, I can hardly see
any reason for allowing this to be working.

You must have missed it. Suse 7.0 comes with two versions of squid. From

Why do you not simply disable the proxy setting of netscape while you
have no proxy running?
Malware
I have a 4 port hub with 2 computers and the cable modem hooked to them,
I have only one NIC and need to have the other computers going through
the server somehow, and I got the CD's for Suse7.0 and they do not
contain Squid. I did download it from the site and install but it also
did not work because all the permissions were screwed up and would not
let it write to itsown cache and log dir.

Hello,
IMHO the 2 GB file size is max in linux 2.2.x. maybe the 2.4 series will
change that?
Anyway, if your logs get big, I would rotate them every day, with some
kind of script or logrotate, just beware
that you copy it and do a /apache/log/your_log, don't rm it, cause apache
logs to the inode, which will change if you just delete
the logfile and touch a new one. Apache won't be able to log then, until
you restart/reload it!
Small log files out of a daily base are much easier/faster to analize in
most sw.
Good luck

The first one is quite easy. When you configure your new kernel, there is a
loadable module support section. In there you must select kernel module
loader.
Then the kernel will load the module for you automatically instead of you
having to use insmod.
No clue on other problem.

With current stable releases of Linux on the 32-bit Intel chips (x86),

Current stable relase on 64-bit machines (Alphas for example) don't have

I believe that up coming releases for the 32-bit Intel chips (x86), the
2gig file size limit is removed. I believe it is a combination of libc
code and possible parts of the Ext2 fs code (I am not sure).
Are you not rotating your webserver logs weekly? If they still exceed
2gig / week, maybe you need to have logrotate the logs more often. I
believe that logrotate can be set up to rotate logs at any selected

Hi all,
I would greatly thank your help with this problem I've run through.
I'm administering a machine running Linux Red Hat 6.2. They've been
running ok for a long while. Then, due to some recently discovered
security holes I updated the kernel to the latest stable release
(namely, 2.2.18). So I downloaded the sources, unpacked, configured,
compiled and installed the brand new kernel. So far so good. Everything
was doing all right. Well, not so. I've found network is not going on so
well.
Right after booting everything is fine. But very soon afterwards the
network services to the machine start decaying. While I can do usual
telnet, ftp and rlogin, I prefer ssh. But after the kernel update, ssh
connections to the updated machine take an eternity to get on. That, in
the case I finally success loging in. Then if I start any remote X
Window application, the host will create the process (ps tells it) but
no window is showed remotely. Nothing has been changed in the client
machines, so the problem must be on the server, because everyuthing was
fine before. I haven't been able to find out much about why. All the
syslog is dumping in the messages file are messages like:
Jan 3 20:01:32 condor pam_console[802]: can't find device or X11 socket
to examine for 1
The same problem arises if I connect through telnet or rlogin and then
set DISPLAY (and xhost in the client machine): the application won't
work.
Worst, after some time running every network service in the server
is down. I mean, it doesn't asnwer telnet, nor ftp, in some cases, not
even a simple ping.
That's the problem. I would thank whatever suggestion on things to
check or try. I cannot figure out what's wrong, since I have NOT changed
neither the hardware nor the operating system setup.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings!
I had a similar problem with the 2.2.17 kernel. I fell back to the last
RedHat-issued kernel RPM which is (IIRC) 2.2.16.

FWIW, the change log shown for the latest Red Hat ncurses5 RPM makes it
appear that ncurses5 and ncurses4 aren't too different.
no - the correct answer is this:
The Redhat maintainer did not bother to read the release notes for ncurses.
The current version of ncurses is 5.2 (20001021)
There's an faq at

Install and use the equivs package to create a dummy package. Are you sure
that you need to, though? sendmail 8.11.1 is available in unstable. Put
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main
in your /etc/apt/sources.list, run 'apt-get update', and then run
'apt-get source -b sendmail' and apt will download the source and build a
.deb for you to install with dpkg.
You'll also want to install sendmail-doc.

Look in /usr/share/doc/portsentry-1.0.
Config files are in /etc/portsentry. Pretty self explanatory. I didn't change
much besides how it already came configured by RH, except the KILL_ROUTE
command.
I get that authorized scan too from att@home. Portsentry adds the IP address of
a machine susceptible of scanning your ports into /etc/hosts.deny. You can
configure it to send you e-mail when something happens, or to set up an IP
chains rule. You can see the actual commands portsentry executes in
/var/log/messages.

Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2001 02:00:44 GMT
Hi folks,
I am trying to print to a local HP 840C deskjet from my linux box. I
running red hat 6.1 with the 2.2.14 kernel. I do have an lpd running.
I have tried using the printtool in the control-panel. Unfortunately,
the printool auto detection does not detect /dev/lp0, /dev/lp1, or
/dev/lp2.
This is probably related to the fact that I do not have an lp
module running. I tried to use insmod to load it, but I got the
following error message:
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/lp.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Dan

I'm currently running Storm Linux 2000 (2.0.2 release) and upon
recompiling the kernel, right at the end I get an error saying that the
"as86 command not found" or something of that like. I've been searching
the packages on the CDROM and there apparently is nothing called "as86",
so it has to be part of another package that I'm simply not aware of. So,

RedHat 6.2 came with Enlightenment as the default window manager,

multiple monitors, and only Enlightenment is able to handle multiple

RedHat is a strong supporter of Gnome. The initial release of Gnome
recommended Enlightenment as it's window manager. However there were
many problems. Especially with the fact that both Gnome and
Enlightenment wanted to provide the same set of features. A
light-weight window manager meant to be used with gnome was needed.
That window manager was Sawfish (orginally Sawmill). Sawfish is now
the "gnome" windows manager. It's a much better fit for gnome than
enlightenment ever was.

Originally, "Rasterman," author of Enlightenment, came from Australia
to North Carolina to work for Red Hat Software, and planned to have
considerable integration between E and GNOME.
Things Changed; he left, to VA Linux Systems, and concluded that he
wasn't so interested in working with GNOME, nor GNOME with E.
I wouldn't read _too_ much into it; I doubt that either Rasterman or
RHS folk are burning each other in effigy, but there's certainly not
the "intent for cooperation" that there was two years ago.

Ie, does changing the type in the partition table do anything to the

back to HPFS, will the data on that partition have been altered in any

No danger, you can do this without any danger.
Just make sure you won't ever mistake them for other partitions.
(You could also choose a more exotic type I suppose, that will make
the difference more obvious)
Eric
The standard for hiding partitions type 0x01 to 0x0E is to add 0x10 to
the partition type (ID). An HPFS partition, which (as NTFS) has type
07 is hidden by changing the type to 17.
As far as I know OS2 does not recognize an extended partition type 0F.
This also could be utilized for hiding all logical partitions in OS2.
A problem related to OS2 is that in DOS/Windows extended partitions
ending cylinder 1024 or later must be type 0F, while OS2 does not
recognize this type.

Found the answer in another conversation on this group...
Clip from that thread:
===
If you've used linuxconf to modify the Apache webserver settings, it's
more than likely that the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file has a bunch
of
garbage in it that is preventing access.
Pay particular attention to the directory entries at the end of the
file. If you have entries similar to:
Directory
Options Includes MultiViews Indexes FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options
/Directory
Files
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options
/Files
remove them or comment them out of existence. The restart the httpd
daemon and things should be accessible:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
Sure enough I had used linuxconf this time and wandered into Apache
setup and shure enough there were a bunch of Directory xxx and
Files xxx lines there!
I commented them away and now I am able to see what I need to see!
Why in heavens name is linuxconf doing this???

Thanks for so much good advice (except for the guy that called me arse).
A lot of my problem is getting a feel for the way things are done, and you
all have helped.
Ah and you are right, I omitted the -f on my tar - makes a big difference. I
thought when I used it before that you could omit. This was under QNX. maybe
I just don't remember correctly. Obviously, I am not the UNIX guru, but I
like all good technology.
I will give the EMACS a try. If there is one thing I have learned over the
years, there is elegance in simplicity. I nice IDE is a thing of beauty
though, but there is more than a couple of ways to skin a cat.
I am in the process of trying to get apache running, so I can access and
search all my docs via http.
Thanks again.

Besides nntp, any other server services are not allowed for the @home

base to linux box.
Don't worry about what's allowed and what isn't. Essentially, they don't want
you using a "residential" connection for commercial uses, especially spam
generation. I use telnet, ftp and a small web site with not not much traffic
and have never had any problems. If they notice heavy traffic to/from your

If you have the boot disk you made during the install then you should be
able to boot with it and at the lilo prompt enter:
linux root=/dev/hdaX
# where hdaX is the correct root partition
If nothing helps, try to get a grub bootdisk from somewhere. Grub is
another bootloader with the advantage that it does not work with
blocklists as lilo. Instead, it knows about the ext2 filesystem
(and others as well) and can find the kernel via its entry in the
filesystem. Thus, any grub bootdisk can boot any linux computer
(really great).
You can find more information on grub at
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/
and although they declare it being unstable, it is very stable
right now.

slackware has bootdisk images on their site which are pretty great. rawrite
or dd "bare.i" to a floppy and you have an excellent rescuedisk, having a
scsi system search the apropriate bootdisk. alternatively you could use the
redhat installation floppy's and at the end switch console with alt-f2 and
then use that prompt to mount your rootpartition and repair lilo. I always
make a second entry in lilo to always have the old system still bootable
when updating the bootrecord.
btw I use solely Redhat and slackware only for it's neat bootdisks. Redhat
6.2 and 7.0 both should have nice bootdisks tailormade to your system,
although I prefer not to make those...

I hate to mention this, but have you looked at your /etc/shells file? If you are
using tcsh, for example, then you'll need to add it to your shells file in order to
be able to ftp into the machine. Either that or chsh to one of the shells that are

Motherboard or processor, if you've changed the RAM out. Just to make
sure, go to http://freshmeat.net/ and look up "memtest86" so you can
make sure it isn't the RAM. leave about an hour to do a full check.
I'd think this is a motherboard problem, myself... borrow a board or
processor, swap components, and see if the problem persists.

hacking on the Linux kernel, and getting paid to do it. That would be a

Linux kernel in their free time. I think universities should be doing a
lot more of this. I say this because Berkeley produced a fine unix

continue. I'm not saying run the colleges' budgets dry developing
Linux, BSD or whatever. Rather, unix open source development should be
fit in where ever possible. The result is that they would get a return
on their own research, that is, a great operating system for free.

I've been trying to upgrade kernels from 2.2.14-5.0 to 2.2.18 on a RedHat
6.2 system and have run into 2 problems. One is not a big deal but the
other is a showstopper.
The simple problem first:
2.2.18 does not load my scsi card driver (the aic7xxx) during boot even
though the module is in /lib/modules/2.2.18/scsi and modules.conf has the
line "alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx". It's not a major deal because
insmod
aic7xxx works fine. But it would be nice to have it load automatically so
I
could avoid the RedHat New Hardware screen everytime I reboot, which is
happening fairly often as I'm dealing with:
The showstopper:
Trying to load the Roaring Penquin pppoe client causes a very impressive
freeze. I have to reset the machine. I'm using the 2.5 version compiled
from the tar ball. Any clues as to what is going here? Are there fixes
available?

Typical business downsizing. I've always maintained that the best jobs
were with universities doing research. At CMU (Carnegie Mellon
University) in Pittsburgh, certain staff/research positions involving
hacking on the Linux kernel, and getting paid to do it. That would be a
decent job to have, seeing as to how a lot of people do hacking on the
Linux kernel in their free time. I think universities should be doing a
lot more of this. I say this because Berkeley produced a fine unix
distribution like this, and I don't see why the trend couldn't
Actually, it wasn't just Berkely. A lot of BSD development also
happened at Purdue, MIT, Carnegie-Mellon and U of Illionois (Urbana-Champaign).
continue. I'm not saying run the colleges' budgets dry developing
Linux, BSD or whatever. Rather, unix open source development should be
fit in where ever possible. The result is that they would get a return
on their own research, that is, a great operating system for free.

Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is already answered, but I would like an answer quicker than
looking through all the different newsgroups.
My problem is right down in the basics.
I want to setup an ftp server that will allow users to login to their own
directories to update websites etc. I don't want them to be able to go
above their own directories, but want to give full access to their own ones.
Any advice would be greatfully appreciated as the help files that I have
looked through are not very clear (maybe I just don't grasp the way they are
saying the stuff)

Just a thought, but how about :-
1) find where the fd limit is defined in the kernel source
2) change it
3) recompile the kernel
Worth a try I think. But what is more important to you / least risky -
complying with the 3000 fd where 1024 seems to work OK (but have you
load tested), or having a "unmodified" kernel source?

Red Hat Linux users seem to think the Red Hat release numbers have
meaning to the broader Linux community. "linux 6.2" almost certainly
means the stuff you get with the Red Hat Linux 6.2 package.

Needless to say, it depends on what you want to do with it. But,
"we" used run on a 486 with 8 megs of memory, and could even
run X, although 16 megs sure came in handy. With "Linux" trying

up enlightenment and Netscape and you're probably already swapping

I still use Slackware 3.3 (partially upgraded to 3.9) on a laptop

Subject: joining two lines of text
Hi,
I have a comma delimited text data base file I need to fix. The
problem with it is that the (now defunct) software that did
the export put a carriage return right in the middle of one of the
fields. So, I get two lines where I should only get one. Also,
since the export chopped the entry in the middle, I can not export
before and after and then fix it with a spread sheet! What a pain!
So I thought I'd ask if anyone knew if there was a sed or
other command that would let me join every other line together,
for example:
Before:
1234
5678
abcd
efgh
After:
12345678
abcdefgh
Many thanks,

Subject: Partition overlapped
Date: 05 Jan 2001 16:11:52 -0400
Hi,
I used the partition-magic to partition my HD. Then installed RH6.2
in it. When I installed the RH, RH complained that my partitions are
overlapped. But I didn't have any problems up till now, when I was
trying to install the vmware. Vmware also complained that my
partitions are overlapped and what's worse, refused to make use of
the win98 partition.
So I installed the gnu-parted and tried to resize and move around my
partitions a bit:
- - - -
(parted) rm 6
(parted) mkpart logical ext2 8292 16346
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0-19547.2 megabytes
Minor Start EndTypeFilesystem Flags
1 0.0502.0 primary ext2
2502.0 2502.3 primary ext2
3 2502.3 8291.4 primary FATboot
4 8291.4 19540.0 extended
6 8291.4 16347.4 logical
5 16347.4 19540.0 logical FATboot
- - - -
I thought the "partitions overlapped" really means that I shouldn't
have those .xx (decimal) starting and ending points. So, as you can
see, I readjusted the 6th to "8292 16346". But what parted gave me
was still "8291.4 16347.4".
So I'm totally lost here. Please somebody help me out. What is the
"partitions overlapped" really mean? and how can I get out of this
trouble? (hopefully w/o losing my previous info in the partition).
Thanks a lot!!!

Subject: ide-tape problems
I have 3 linux boxes. One has a scsi tape, which works beautifully. The other
two, however, have Seagate STT2A ide tape drives. I can get neither of them
to work. If I type
tar cvf /dev/ht0 /home
it lists a number of files, then I see
tar: /dev/ht0: Cannot write: Input/output error
tar: Error is not recoverable, exiting now.
The tape drive is never activated during this process. I suspect that the files
are going to some buffer or other, but when the buffer fills, the program
quits.
The tape drive is listed in my /proc directory under
/proc/ide/hdd
and under /proc/ide/ide1
After trying to access the tape drive, I get messages in /var/log/messages
like:
kernel: ide-tape: hdd - ht0, 1000KBps, 6*54kB buffer, 5400 kB pipeline, 110ms
tDSC
kernel: ide-tape: ht0: I/O error, pc = 34, key = 4, asc = f0, ascq = 36
last message repeats 75 times
Also, none of the 'mt' commands work.
Could someone please point me to the solution to this problem? I've run out of
ideas.

Hi,
I have a comma delimited text data base file I need to fix. The
problem with it is that the (now defunct) software that did
the export put a carriage return right in the middle of one of the
fields. So, I get two lines where I should only get one. Also,
since the export chopped the entry in the middle, I can not export
before and after and then fix it with a spread sheet! What a pain!
So I thought I'd ask if anyone knew if there was a sed or
other command that would let me join every other line together,
for example:
Before:
1234
5678
abcd
efgh
After:
12345678
abcdefgh
Many thanks,

Thank you to all who response. I've check the device major/minor number
and it seems fine. Nothing is wrong with fstab. Yes, it seems like Redhat 6.1
does include the floppy driver. I've checked my /var/log/dmesg and found
the following error:
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M

Anyone has any idea.

Hi all,
I've got a laptop running Linux. As it often runs from battery
I get the occasional power down with out a proper shutdown
before hand. This sometimes results in a screwed up disk.
I'm not complaining about the time to fsck, but I would like
to prevent the loss of data on the drive.
Has anybody tried the various journaled filesystems to overcome
problems like this?

Don't make a move before physically backing up your favorite files,

document
"The Linux Kernel HOWTO" by Brian Ward.
Follows is a nano-HOWTO that will take you thru the recommended
command lines
of a modern kernel rebuild party. Please read silently while I read
aloud:
A install your _current_ kernel source from your distribution's RPM
files.
B Get the new source from ftp.kernel.org, and put it in a directory
under
/home. _Don't_ put it in /usr/local; let the system take care of that
later
on.
C tar fxvz linux.9.9.99.tar.gz

F make menuconfig
E a character-mode UI pops up with a menu of options. Check that
advanced,
experimental or exotic things are turned off, and that things you
expect to

latter means
built-in. Prefer the former until you know what you are doing. Save

I think eveything stays in ram until it is full. Then the kernel
starts swapping out old stuff to your swap partition to make room for
new, and once the swap partition is full, it writes over the old stuff
in the swap partition to make room for the new stuff swapped out of
memory. That's if I understood the Linux Kernel Guide correctly. G.

The GNU fileutils would appear to heed the latter of two conflicting

file "bar", but "cp -f -i foo bar" would prompt before overwriting.

Nay, it doesn't work this way. The reason I noticed it was that I (as
many other humans) had an

Linux Frequently Asked Questions with Answers
This is the list of Frequently Asked Questions for Linux, the free
operating system kernel that runs on many modern computer systems. The
kernel source code documentation says that Linux "aims for POSIX
compliance." Linux uses mostly free, GNU system utilities and
application software, although commercial programs are available also.
Originally written for 386/486/586 Intel/ISA bus machines, Linux
versions exist for nearly every hardware platform in existence that is
capable of running it. (Please refer to the question, "What Is Linux?"
below.) This FAQ is meant to be read in conjunction with the Linux
Documentation Project's HOWTO series. ("Where Can I Get Linux Material
by FTP?" and, "Where Can I Get the HOWTO's and Other Documentation?")
The INFO-SHEET and META-FAQ also list sources of Linux information.
Please read them, and, "You Still Haven't Answered My Question!"

On recent Solaris systems, refer to the information in /etc/dfs/dfstab and the share(1M) manual page to enable volume sharing. In addition, the rpcinfo program can tell you if statd or lockd are available on the local or remote machines. The linux-kernel mailing list has on-and-off discussions of the status of the NFS subsystem, which appears to be changing rapidly. [Nicolai Langfeldt, Robert Kiesling, Anders Hammarquist] 4.12. Can I Use True Type Fonts with Linux? Yes. There are a number of True Type font servers for the X Window System. One of them is xfsft. Its home page is http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jec/programs/xfsft/. There are also instructions for configuration. People have reported success with other True Type font servers. There are links from the xfsft Home Page to them as well. You can also compile True Type Font support into your X server directly. Again, refer to the xfsft Home Page for details. 4.13. How Can I Boot Linux from MS-DOS? If LILO doesn't work, and if the machine has MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows, you may be left with a computer that won't boot. This can also happen on an upgrade to your Linux distribution. Re-installing LILO is the last thing that the installation does. So it is vitally important when installing or upgrading Linux on a dual boot machine, to have a MS-DOS or Windows rescue disk nearby so you can FDISK -MBR. Then you can go about using LOADLIN.EXE instead of LILO. This config.sys file is one possible way to invoke LOADLIN.EXE and boot MS-DOS or Linux. [menu] menuitem=DOS, Dos Boot menuitem=LINUX, Linux Boot [LINUX] shell=c:\redhat\loadlin.exe c:\redhat\autoboot\vmlinuz vga=5 root=/dev [DOS] STACKS = 0,0 rem all the other DOS drivers get loaded here. This creates a menu where you can directly jump to LOADLIN.EXE before all of the MS-DOS drivers get loaded. The paths and options are peculiar to one machine and should be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer. See the LOADLIN.EXE docs for options. They are the same as LILO, and options are just passed to the kernel, anyhow. [Jim Harvey] 4.14. How Can I Boot Linux from OS/2's Boot Manager? 1. Create a partition using OS/2's FDISK.EXE (Not Linux's fdisk). 2. Format the partition under OS/2, either with FAT or HPFS. This is so that OS/2 knows about the partition being formatted. (This step is not necessary with OS/2 `warp' 3.0.) 3. Add the partition to the Boot Manager. 4. Boot Linux, and create a file system on the partition using mkfs -t ext2 or mke2fs. At this point you may, if you like, use Linux's fdisk to change the code of the new partition to type 83 (Linux Native)--this may help some automated installation scripts find the right partition to use. 5. Install Linux on the partition. 6. Install LILO on the Linux partition--NOT on the master boot record of the hard drive. This installs LILO as a second-stage boot loader on the Linux partition itself, to start up the kernel specified in the LILO configuration file. To do this, you should put boot = /dev/hda2 (where /dev/hda2 is the partition you want to boot from) in your /etc/lilo/config or /etc/lilo.config file. 7. Make sure that it is the Boot Manager partition that is marked active, so that you can use Boot Manager to choose what to boot. There is a set of HOWTO's on the subject of multi-boot systems at the LDP Home Page, http://www.linuxdoc.org/. 5. File Systems, Disks, and Drives 5.1. How Can I Get Linux to Work with My Disk? If your disk is an IDE or EIDE drive, you should read the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/README.ide (part of the Linux kernel source code). This README contains many helpful hints about IDE drives. Many modern IDE controllers do translation between `physical' cylinders/heads/sectors, and `logical' ones. SCSI disks are accessed by linear block numbers. The BIOS invents some `logical' cylinder/head/sector fiction to support DOS. An IBM PC-compatible BIOS will usually not be able to access partitions which extend beyond 1024 logical cylinders, and will make booting a Linux kernel from such partitions using LILO problematic at

If you want to use a VC for ordinary login, it must be listed in
/etc/inittab, which controls which terminals and virtual consoles have
login prompts. The X Window System needs at least one free VC in order
to start.
[Note: The key sequence is actually Ctrl--Meta-- FN. On PC compatible
systems, the right and left Alt keys are really synonymous with the
keysymbols Meta_L and Meta_R. If the binding is different, you can
determine what keys produce Meta_L and Meta_R with xkeycaps or a
similar application.]
[David Charlap]
8.10. How Do I Set the Time Zone?
Change directory to /usr/lib/zoneinfo/. Get the time zone package if
you don't have this directory. The source is available in
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/admin/time/.
Then make a symbolic link named localtime pointing to one of the files
in this directory (or a subdirectory), and one called posixrules
pointing to localtime. For example:
$ ln -sf US/Mountain localtime
$ ln -sf localtime posixrules
This change will take effect immediately--try date.
If the system uses Red Hat-style configuration files, the respective
time zone info files are /usr/share/zoneinfo and /etc/localtime.
The manual pages for tzset or tzselect describe setting the time zone.
Some programs recognize the "TZ" environment variable, but this is not
POSIX-correct.
You should also make sure that your Linux kernel clock is set to the
correct GMT time. Type date -u and check that the correct UTC time is
displayed. ("The Computer Has the Wrong Time.")
8.11. How Do I Get Dial-up PPP to Work?
This information is mainly for people who do not have a wrapper
utility like kppp or pppconfig, or are not able to get those utilities
to work correctly. If you need to manually configure PPP to dial in to
your ISP, you will need the following information:
* The port that your modem is connected to: /dev/ttyS0-/dev/ttyS3,
which correspond to COM1-COM4 under MS-DOS.
* The phone number of your ISP's data connection.
* The user name and password that your ISP gave you.
* The IP addresses of the primary and possibly secondary Domain Name
Service that you will use when dialing in to the ISP. This assumes
that you will not be using a DNS that you installed on your
system.
When you have all of this information, make sure that the programs
pppd and chat, at the very minimum, are installed correctly. In most
current distributions, they are installed in the /usr/sbin/ directory,
and you will need to be logged in as root to use them. In addition,
the following programs are also useful for configuring network
connections, determining network status, and diagnosing problems:
/sbin/ifconfig, /sbin/route, /bin/ping, /usr/sbin/traceroute.
These are the basic steps that you need to follow to configure PPP.
You must be logged in as root.
* Make sure that the serial port and modem are operating correctly.
Using a program like minicomm or kermit, you should be able to
send AT commands to the modem and receive the OK string in
response from the modem.
* Enter the primary and possibly secondary Domain Name Server IP
addresses in the /etc/resolv.conf file, using dotted quad
notation, with the nameserver label. For example:
order hosts,bind
nameserver 196.182.101.103
nameserver 196.182.101.104
The nameserver addresses in the example above are examples only.
They don't correspond to actual network hosts.
The first line, order hosts,bind, tells your networking software,
when it resolves network domain addresses, to first look in the
/etc/hosts file, and then use the bind service; i.e., the DNS
servers, which are specified on the lines that begin with
nameserver.
* Locate the chat script that PPP will use to dial the modem and
connect to your ISP. In many systems, this is either in the
/etc/chatscripts or /etc/ppp directory, and will be called
provider or something similar. You can store a chat script
anywhere, provided that you tell pppd to use it rather than the
default script. Refer to the chat and pppd manual pages, and the
information below, for details. Here is a sample chat script:
ABORTBUSY
ABORT"NO CARRIER"
ABORTVOICE
ABORT"NO DIALTONE"
"" ATDTyour_isp's_phone_number
ogin your_user_name
word your_password
This is a chat program for a simple, script based login. The chat
program uses the pair of strings on each line as a match/response
pair. When it starts, it

$ setenv TERM console
for csh or tcsh.
Some programs use /usr/lib/terminfo instead of /etc/termcap. For these
programs you should upgrade your terminfo package, which is part of
ncurses.
The same is true for X terminal displays. If your distribution sets
the TERM to something strange like xterm-24-color, you can simply
reset it to a generic value from the command line:
$ TERM="xterm"; export TERM
10.3. INET: Warning: old style ioctl... called!
You are trying to use the old network configuration utilities. The new
ones can be found on
ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/Networking/PROGRAMS/NetTools/ (source only,
I'm afraid).
Note that they cannot be used just like the old-style programs. See
the NET-2 HOWTO for instructions on how to set up the old-style
networking programs correctly. Even better, see the NET-3 HOWTO and
upgrade your networking software.
10.4. ld: unrecognized option '-m486'
You have an old version of ld. Install a newer binutils package that
contains an updated ld. Look on tsx-11.mit.edu in
/pub/linux/packages/GCC/ for binutils-2.6.0.2.bin.tar.gz.
10.5. GCC Says, "Internal compiler error."
If the fault is repeatable (i.e., it always happens at the same place
in the same file--even after rebooting and trying again, using a
stable kernel) you have discovered a bug in GCC. See the GCC Info
documentation (type F1-i in Emacs, and select GCC from the menu) for
details on how to report the error. Make sure you have the latest
version, though.
Note that this is probably not a Linux-specific problem. Unless you
are compiling a program many other Linux users also compile, you
should not post your bug report to any of the comp.os.linux groups.
If the problem is not repeatable, you may be experiencing memory
corruption. Refer to the answer: ("Make Says, "Error 139."")
10.6. Make Says, "Error 139."
Your compiler (GCC) dumped core. You probably have a corrupted, buggy,
or old version of GCC--get the latest release or EGCS. Alternatively,
you may be running out of swap space. Refer to: ("My Machine Runs Very
Slowly when I Run GCC / X / ...")
If this doesn't fix the problem, you are probably having problems with
memory or disk corruption. Check that the clock rate, wait states, and
refresh timing for your SIMMS and cache are correct (hardware manuals
are sometimes wrong, too). If so, you may have some marginal SIMMS, or
a faulty motherboard or hard disk or controller.
Linux is a very good memory tester--much better than MS-DOS based
memory test programs.
Reportedly, some clone x87 math coprocessors can cause problems. Try
compiling a kernel with math emulation ("How Do I Upgrade/Recompile My
Kernel?") no387 kernel command line flag on the LILO prompt to force
the kernel to use math emulation, or it may be able to work and still
use the '387, with the math emulation compiled in but mainly unused.
More information about this problem is available on the Web at
http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/.
10.7. Shell-Init: Permission Denied when I Log In.
Your root directory and all the directories up to your home directory
must be readable and executable by everybody. See the manual page for
chmod or a book on Unix for how to fix the problem.
10.8. No Utmp Entry. You Must Exec ... when Logging In.
Your /var/run/utmp is screwed up. You should have
/var/run/utmp
in your /etc/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/*. See, ("I Have Screwed Up My
System and Can't Log In to Fix It.") Note that the utmp may also be
found in /var/adm/ or /etc/ on some older systems.
10.9. Warning--bdflush Not Running.
Modern kernels use a better strategy for writing cached disk blocks.
In addition to the kernel changes, this involves replacing the old
update program which used to write everything every 30 seconds with a
more subtle daemon (actually a pair), known as bdflush. Get
bdflush-n.n.tar.gz from the same place as the kernel source code ("How
Do I Upgrade/Recompile My Kernel?") and compile and install it.
bdflush should be started before the usual boot-time file system
checks. It will work fine with older kernels as well, so there's no
need to keep the old update around.
10.10. Warning: obsolete routing request made.
This is nothing to worry about. The message means that your version
route is a little out of date, compared to the kernel. You can make
the message go away by getting a new version of route from the same
place as the kernel source code. ("How Do I Upgrade/Recompile My
Kernel?")
10.11. EXT2-fs: warning: mounting unchecked file system.
You need to run e2fsck (or fsck -t

I hope this is not a stupid suggestion ;-)
If you want a LAN server, I suppose it has a network card?
You have 14 PC's, perhaps one of the can hold some of the linux
distribution. And perhaps also with a network card?
If so, you can perfectly install Linux over a network. I know you can at
least do this with Slackware and Suse (I never used RH) and with both ftp
and nfs-protocol.
The only thing you need then is a linux-boot floppy which can use the
network card.
I used to do this with the Linux Suse 6.2 distribution., the only thing
you have to set up is of course another ftp-server which makes the Linux
CD's available. This should not be that much of a problem if you have
several PC's.
Even more, you can install some distributions directly from the internet
on your PC. Takes a night or so, but it 'll go.
By the way, If you just want a LAN server, (and nothing else on it) you do
not need all the graphic and fancy stuff, just the basic packages A and N
and perhaps a few other things. This will all fit (slackware) on maximum
20 to 30 floppies. Could be worth to make such a set of floppies.
I have a blank PC (486 DX2-66) set aside for Linux. No Windows. HDD
partitioned into 2 partitions as requested in Red Hat booklet and
armed with Red Hat CD where do I go next. Thinks !! I might make a
boot floppy with RAWHIDE on the CD ??? Correct ??? Then what??? Don't
have any info on the monitor, never needed it before so why now?
PARTINFO and FIPS provide partition info. No I cannot afford a BLOODY
Pentium and I don't need another PC in the house, anymore and I'll go
bananas. So don't make any such stupid suggestions. I only want
initially a better LAN server system and I think Linux may be the
answer.

Jan 6 11:01:52 linuxpc sendmail[8647]: gethostbyaddr(192.168.1.1)
failed: 1
It looks like it is trying to use eth0 even though the correct one
(with gateway) is eth1. Why is this so??
How to change it?

Hello,
looks for me like a DNS problem, sendmail can't resolv it's own
hostname, set it up in /etc/hosts:
192.168.1.1hostname.your_domain.com hostname
If it doesn't help you can set it in /etc/sendmail.cf
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your
domain
Djhostname.your_domain.com
Don't forget to restart sendmail!
Good luck
Michael Heiming
Thanks,
my hosts file looks like this now (after changing):
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.30eagle2.x.comeagle2
192.168.0.1 linuxpc.x.com linuxpc # First ethernet card
192.168.1.1 linuxpc.x.com linuxpc # Second ethernet card
Please note two IP addresses with the same names. I can't think of any
way else to set it up because there are two NIC:s on the same computer
so they should have the same name, or not? To me at least it is one
host with several NIC:s and IP addresses.
But I have seen elsewhere that you can't have the same names but
different IP addresses in the hosts file.

delete partitions hda5 and hda6 , and recreate them in the right order.
print the EXACT CHS values of these partitions on to a piece of paper.
If you recreate them with these numbers (with hda5 and hda6 switched!) you
won't even lose data. A typo is disastrous though. Therefor backup what you
can before you begin this operation.

Hi,
I used the partition-magic to partition my HD. Then installed RH6.2
in it. When I installed the RH, RH complained that my partitions

partitions are overlapped and what's worse, refused to make use of
the win98 partition.
So I installed the gnu-parted and tried to resize and move around
my

I thought the "partitions overlapped" really means that I shouldn't
have those .xx (decimal) starting and ending points. So, as you can
see, I readjusted the 6th to "8292 16346". But what parted gave me
was still "8291.4 16347.4".
So I'm totally lost here. Please somebody help me out. What is the
"partitions overlapped" really mean? and how can I get out of this
trouble? (hopefully w/o losing my previous info in the partition).
Thanks a lot!!!

Overlap means the ending cylinder of one partition is the same as
the
beginning cylinder of the next. Let's have a look at what fdisk
sees. Do
fdisk -l /dev/hda partition.table and see if the partitions overlap
on
that.
hmm, no, seems to be quite right:

Look at the memory lines of top closely:

Swap: 333572K av, 72636K used, 260936K free 29316K cached
Specifically take note of the values for buff (buffer) and cached. Linux
caches and buffers files and data so if they are needed often, they can
be fetched quicker than going back to disk. The buffer and cache dynamically
change depending on what the current memory requirements are. If you load
a large program, the buffer and cache will be flushed until there is room
to load the program.
Taking the above, I apparently only have 1646K free...but in reality I have
1636 + 1308 + 29316 = 32260K free.
Another utility that may show this clearer is 'free':
[111%][infinitum][chris] free
total used free sharedbuffers cached
Mem: 62768 61396 1372 38052 1324 28252
-/+ buffers/cache: 31820 30948
Swap: 333572 72708 260864
[112%][infinitum][chris]
Look at the line "-/+ bufferes/cache:" ... this is how much memory you
actually have available and used.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sat, 06 Jan 2001 18:15:52 GMT
I don't understand this!
I have done three RH6.2 installs on this machine so far:
- Custom KDE where I deselected whatever I thought I would not need
- KDE workstation with everything left on and adding samba
- Server, here I did not get any options to fill in
(The reason for these installs was that some part of the system did
not work and i could not figure out how to fix it otherwise.)¨
In all of these cases my network cards (3Com 3C509 Combo) were *not*
detected and there was no network setup dialog. So I had to manually
add the eth0 and eth1 NIC:s and give them IP addresses after install.
In the first two cases there were GUI tools I could use to handle
this, but in the last case I had to use ifconfig to set the IP and
netmask. Big problems for me (newbie) to find all the right command
line commands to type in (I have read many HOWTO pages but it is not
right yet).
What I really cannot understand is how I set the ethernet settings so
that they stick! As it is now all is lost on a reboot, no ethernet, no
IP address, no netmask, gateway, DNS etc. All gone! THis was not so on
the workstation installs.
How can I make all of this stay through a reboot?
I want to be able to set these items (at least) for *each* ethx:
IP address
Netmask
Gateway
DNS servers
And all of this from the command prompt (all there is!)
PS is there any way i can get the KDE GUI installed on my RH6.2
server? I don't really want to reinstall as a workstation since I have
now added a lot of stuff to make Apache, FTP and Samba work like I
want and I have also added BackupExec agent and so on.

Hello,
I noticed the following behavior with rpm -qf filename and thought it
was a little bit odd. If I rename filename to something else or move
filename to another directory then rpm -qf filename still gives the
same output as long as I remain in hte directory from where I renamed
or moved the file. I was expecting file not found or something like
that. Where does rpm look to find the needed information? It seems like
rpm is somewhat unaware of changes performed manually. I am running

Are you running Samba independently, or through inetd or xinetd? If
you're starting samba via inetd or xinetd, there'll be a delay when you

The second error looks like it is trying to load r128.o which is the driver

I too think setting up these configs throught linuxconf is a great idea. Do
this then after look into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ cat the file
ifcfg-eth0 and see why you were better off letting linuxconf do the job.
then cd up one dir and cat network this would be easy to write but let
Linux do it for you.
An alternative would be to add the commands to the end of the
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file this is the last file read upon boot and the config
could happen there.

I have two NIC:s (3C509 combo) in my RH6.2 server. Since it is a
server install I have no KDE or any other GUI tools at hand :-(
I have had to add the two cards to mu /etc/conf.modules file in order
to be able to use the cards at all. But every time I start up Linux I
have to do the following as root:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.129
Only at this point does the network function.
It is becoming rather tedious work and I want it all done as a part of
the startup. How can this be done?
Every time I install a Linux before I did it as a workstation and I
could use the KDE tools for this. Then it was somehow entered into the
system permanently, but not now. I tried adding ifcfg-eth0 and
ifcfg-eth1 files to the network-scripts directory but then the
ethernet driver totally refused to start so I had to remove them..
I have read Linux Networking HOWTO and Ethernet HOWTO and several
other docs but I can't find a tip on this problem

A few questions.
Is the directory structure flat? do you have the image directories in one
directory, each of which only contains files and not subdirectories?
If I had files numbered 0-603 and there were a couple
files missing in the middle of that sequence (because they were no
longer needed and deleted), the program still added them to the end of
the sequence instead of filling the gaps.
This implies that you have files located in a temporary directory that
you want to add to a certain directory. Is that right? How do you
determine which directory the files get put in?
Or are you just wanting to resequence the whole thing at once? or are you
talking about a batch script that will be used in the future to add new
files?

Hi,
I am about to move a large amount of files from my Windows system to a
Linux box - largely graphic files. There are thousands of files in
hundreds of directories. I need to name them all sequentially with a
specific naming convention/mask/pattern. I am fairly familiar with DOS
but was not satisfied with the methods that were offered to me in
sequencing these files - all sorts of reasons. I have only just touched
upon the power of scripting in the Shell of Linux (specifically
Mandrake) and would like to carry out this task on this server.
My requirements: eg. A directory called 010B050A with the files called
010B050A_001.JPG etc - note the leading zeros and use of hexadecimal in
the numbering. (I also want to vary the amount of leading zeros
depending on the directory). I also want to leave the file extensions as
they are.
One major problem that was not easily overcome (by an OS batching to
date) was the ability of the program to be able to pick up missing
sequences. eg. If I had files numbered 0-603 and there were a couple
files missing in the middle of that sequence (because they were no
longer needed and deleted), the program still added them to the end of

I'll give you an objective opinion, short and sweet, KDE 2.0 is flat out
superior to GNOME as a desktop environment (from a user's perspective). I
honestly would like to say otherwise, because GNOME is the direct offspring
of the FSF, whose philosophy I admire and support, but that is the simple
truth.
Unfortunately, neither desktop yet has a decent office suite. KDE does
come with an excellent email client that supports mulitple email accounts,
filtering, etc., a very good newsreader, and an excellent browser--all with
a unified look and feel. Very fast, with good stability. Once GNOME
becomes equipped with stable versions of Evolution and Nautilus, I may
change my mind, though it will still be missing a good browser.

The solution was very simple: The access rights. That's what the error message

to get a shell you enter a '1' at their menu that appears when u dial in

Windows can do that, Linux can't it seems, at least not with my ISP.
i've called 2 times. They say PAP is PAP and supplying a username and

I'm working with BIG and CONTIGUOUS arrays (up to 16MB), that

From benchmarking profiles it seems that the system can not
allocate contiguous memory for these so, my guess is that it
breaks them up into pieces, which slows down the program. Is
there any way to defrag RAM w/o rebooting or am I being
silly?
I don't think there's much point in this. (But I'm no guru) The
malloc'd space will be swapped in and out again frequently.
There is no reason to expect that allocated memory will
necessarily be (or not be, either one) swapped in and out again,
even once.
It depends entirely on available RAM and system usage. If there
is enough RAM, it will never be swapped out.
I never looked into the code, but I don't think there's a
guarantee that contiguous RAM space will remain contiguous
after a swap.
What is "contiguous RAM"??? If that means one continious linear
address space (and no other meaning makes sense to a user
program), then most certainly it will always remain at the same
range of addresses, before and after swapping.
Anyway, you better ask in col.development.apps You're more
likely to find people there with knowledge on this issue than
here.

Check out the --setugids option of rpm. It will set user and group ids
back to what is in the database.
rpm --setugids -a
and step well back!
Hope that helps

The structure of the news spool has never changed. Go to /var/spool/news
and you will find directory trees built by replacing the periods in
newsgroup names with '/' (comp/os/linux/misc, for example). The articles
are text files with the article numbers as names. 'grep Subject: *' will
get you a list of subjects, and you can read the articles with a pager or
text editor. The first newsreader arrived on the scene pretty early,
though. ANews came with one.
...and didn't suspect it would come down to GUI someday.
I suspect that anyone who gave the matter much thought did.

If you mean contiguous in physical RAM, you can't get it and it has no
significance anyway because of the address translations inherent in the
system's memory management.
To clarify a bit, the address translations are done in hardware in the cpu
and have absolutely no impact on speed.

Dan's suggestion about file permissions got me peeking around. There were
some permission issues. Mostly, in the 'world' level.
So, I recopied the filesystems, this time... using --same-permissions in tar
and things worked fine.
Thanks for your help...

I recently duplicated a working Red Hat 6.1 system.
I duplicated the entire filesystem on a second hard drive in the same box
( so no hardware changed ), updated the fstab to point to new partitions
and
tried to boot to the new root partition ( using LILO: linux root=/dev/hda7
where hda7 is my new root partition)
I see everything start correctly, except for the "at daemon". This fails
on
the new system, but works fine on the old.
Any ideas why?
Thanks!

I received direct advice via email from David and it solved my
problems.
What was needed was properly formatted configuration files:
/etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
# HOSTNAME does not have to include the

HOSTNAME=linuxpc.domain.com
GATEWAY=192.168.0.129

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:

BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
#NETWORK=192.168.1.0
#BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
#GATEWAY=192.168.0.129

#BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
#GATEWAY=192.168.0.129

/etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 192.168.0.129 #ADSL Gateway
nameserver 10.0.0.1 #From ISP
nameserver 10.0.0.2 #From ISP
(My ISP is proxying the ADSL connection a bit further up the line so
therefore his DNS servers use private addresses too.)
Important entries:
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
Set one of these wrong and it does not work.
Thanks David!
