How about Gentoo, Tim? It's fast & easy after the "pain" of the base

iptables log analysis

2002-09-19 Thread m.w.chang


anyone got an *existing* script that could list
the ports being blocked by iptables in /var/log/messages
plus the number of hits. like this:

# chkhit /var/log/messages
port,hits
25,10
139,1
6112,20
#

sorting is not important.

I think I need to use perl if I am to write one.
can I do it with bash+utils only?

you are correct. SuSEconfig is the culprit. and with the 8.0, there is no more

I've compiled gcc-2.95.3 and it works. And the gcc compile process is s'posed 
to be smart enough to account for "broken" gcc's. It compiles the new gcc 
with the old gcc in stage1. In stage 2, gcc is rebuilt with the gcc built in 
stage 1, in stage 3, gcc is built with the new gcc in stage2. Stage2 and 
stage3 files are then compared.

2002-09-19 Thread Jerry McBride


Tim,

If you suspect your gcc or glibc  is broken in some manor... what makes you
think you can recompiled a new version and produce a correctly working copy?

My advice is... go back to the distribution cd, re-install all that you suspect
is broken. If you reinstall glibc, it's best to shutdown and restart before you
do much else with your setup...

That said, I found the kde 2.2.2 source tarballs at ftp.rutgers.org. If any one
here needs or would like a complete copy, just ask.

I'm recompiling the sources with the newer objprelink-2 and using the combreloc
of ld... this ought to be a pretty fast binary, even on very old hardware. I
hope... :')

Cheers all.

Well, 2.95.3 doesn't solve the problem.
According to http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/glib-linux-archive/0110/0007.html, I 
need to get the latest 2.95.4pre source and apply the referenced pathc. 
Problem is, that link is rather dated, and, well, the patch will likely not 
work on 2.95.3 source code. 3.1.1 should fix my problem, but I *still* can't 
get that to compile.

Use SeSE7.2. Yast and SuSE Config are root functions. Only way they can
be run is by the system administrator or a user with root permissions or
password. Thus the Yast/SuSE.conf problem is not a system problem but a
system administrator problem.

grub splash screens revisited

2002-09-19 Thread Klaus-Peter Schrage

All of you who neither like the black & white Grub text screen nor the Red Hat 
splashimage may d/load some improved screens here:
http://schragehome.de/splash/
The splash screens are designed to be compliant with Grub's line placement and 
not to render unreadable its messages. If you notice any problems, please let 
me know.
To use the screens, best put the *xpm.gz file(s) to the /boot/grub folder and 
add a line like this near the top of your /boot/grub/menu.lst:
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/sxs_logo_***.xpm.gz
((hd0,1) = /dev/hda2 is the partition hosting my /boot directory, YMMV).

Of course, these images are published under the Open Splash Licence which is 
not yet written.

During a SuSE install with YaST2, there is an option to save your 
settings on a floppy.  Supposedly, you can later use this to do 
unattended installs on other  machines.

I believe what does the undoing is SuSEconfig, instead of YaST2.  After 
installing or changing something with YaST2, it runs SuSEconfig or you 
can run it yourself.  You can also disable it and you won't have to 
worry about it messing with your changes.

Tigerdirect is a ground breaking company.  They were one of the first to

Believe the word is supposed to be himself (one word) not his self. As
far as Love, he was there long enough to leave behind his copy of "Sam's

 From what I've read, there are potential problems with 3.2 and KDE/QT. 
But, it doesn't matter, 3.1.1 wouldn't compile for me and I suspect that 
3.2 wouldn't either. I took Doug's advice and compiled/installed 2.95.3 
last night.

My compelling reason to upgrade the compiler is that, according to most 
of the information I found, an upgraded compiler was required for 
compiling with glibc-2.2.5. I upgraded glibc to 2.2.5 because I was 
having compile problems, kept getting atexit errors that seemed to be 
attributed to a problem with glibc.

As of right now, it looks like I'm on the path to finally fixing my 
system. gcc-2.95.3 installed beautifully last night, and 'make World' of 
xfree86-4.2.1 completed without any atexit errors. Today, my project is 
to do a 'make install' in X and see if I can get that to work. Then, to 
find out if *that* finally fixes the problem I'm having with 
OpenOffice.org-1.0.1 crashing X.

But, as I said, that's only the way it looks *right now*...

Regards,
Tim

You have no compelling reason to upgrade the compiler unless you just
like to tinker.  That being said, why 3.1.1 when 3.2 is the more or
less stable version of the new compiler?
