gateway to Gateway protocol
Hello Everybody, After having tested a lot of new distributions and Windows2000 I'm back in business with a working Linux workstation. The last 2 months have been terrible as I was more or less stuck with a w2k PC I had to use and Linux testing that was a mess. It's a major pain to be forced to look for a new alternative after having had a working setup tweaked to the upmost to fit my needs. On top of it some new distributions should really spend a few weekends looking at what they're releaseing and not get blinded by all the success and green bills people are waving at them. I haven't been able to stick my nose into Debian but would like to find out more about it. Anybody on the list using it everyday!?? OK, now to the question: Could somebody explain me what the gateway-to-gateway protocol is about (/etc/protocols = 3) and what is causing the following logs: Aug 8 08:50:38 wall kernel: Packet log: output REJECT eth0 PROTO=1 195.132.181.80:3 195.55.190.134:3 L=96 S=0xC0 I=28405 F=0x T=255 (#76) Zoran. ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Hopefully narrowing it down to /dev/sdX# helps. Just try: 'mount -t msdos /dev/sdX# /mnt/path_to_cardreader' on your ununsed SCSI devices, I think you'll find it in one of them.

I also got a disk with hundreds of RPMs. Now looking at the titles I simply have no idea what all these programs in the RPMs do.

Cupsd and my rant
Sorry about the earlier rant there guys. I think I have fixed the problem. I believe it is related to one or more of the memory leaks in cupsd 1.1.5, replaced it with 1.1.9 but the problem was still present. Went to /var/spool/cups and there were 3800 files of zero length all in a row. a quick rm after killing cupsd and then a restart and so far so good, things look good. Again my apologies.

The problem with the ide-scsi appearing so early in the piece eg the append line for god's sake, is that it screws the rest of your 'standard' /dev addressing for many other ide devices.

I ran Sybil for a couple of months and noticed that /dev/cdrom was pointed to the wrong device on install. As far as I know SirCam will not infect or affect Linux. I don't even think it'll drop it's payload file(if it has one). IIRC, it's just a vbs script that will infect MS Outlook.

This is NOT true of kernel 2.4.x and I don't believe the kernels are that different. could someone on a 2.2.x kernel (COL 2.4 eg / RH 6.x eg) PLEASE load up ide-scsi as a normal module and test it out by removing that damn append statement? I simply cannot believe such a brute force approach is required. On Caldera it *should* be as simple as placing ide-scsi as one of the first statements in /etc/modules/default. I wrote the very original SxS on CD burners if you remember and having the statement hdb=ide-scsi was at that time the only way to get the burner seen by the OS. However I remarked early in the piece after the initial install of Sybil that the staement wa sno longer needed and this was confirmed by Marcus. I have been meaning to change the SxS, although its not mine now. But at this present moment in time I cannot get the dvd or cdrom to be seen by the OS no matter what i do so it looks as if I have real problems with the present install, with so many things going wrong. Know its not possible but that Sir virus I got, things seemed to have gone wonky since then. -- 11:42pm up 16 days, 16 min, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 Running Caldera eD2.4 - Linux - because life is too short for reboots... _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: cardreader and sound on WS 3.1
I've noticed that if you use -t vfat with vfat, fat and msdos loaded, it will choose which one it needs. At least I think so. The problem with loop could be the order that it is being loaded in relation to other modules. If you have /usr/bin/play from sox, try play foo.wav and see if you get sound as root. If not, something is wrong with the sound modules you are loading for the sound card.

But I do not get sound hwhen I change from root to user. Got me beat and I also print as root but not user, never had an install with the beta (sybil) that I had these problem arise. Just on the verge of doing a complete reinstall, but thought that i would ask first. Mind you I always get problem no-one else has. -- 11:42pm up 16 days, 16 min, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 Running Caldera eD2.4 - Linux - because life is too short for reboots... _ Do You Yahoo!?
