Re: MySQL front ends, was: Re: no printing from kmail

2002-02-09 Thread Matthew Carpenter

By "Front End" do you mean something like Access has for it's own databases?  With 
most SQL RDBMS's you will find that the best front end for them is a GUI tool which 
allows you to send SQL commands in a simple way.  For this, I like KMySQL.  Other than 
that, you aren't going to find any "Access"-like front ends for real database servers. 
 Even Access won't allow you to create databases and tables on MSSQL servers.  You 
still have to use the tools for the DBMS, some of which are better than others.

Yeah, sure.  So I can have users "losing" entire directories.  I will never forget the 
time I was called frantically to restore accounting information to someone's server 
because it was "missing".  It being on NetWare I attempted a Salvage, but couldn't 
find anything to salvage.  Well Chief, to make a long story short, someone had dragged 
the directory into one of the surrounding subdirectories.  While Konqueror would have 
asked "Move, Copy, Link", Exploder didn't think to and simply moved it.  DOH!

Re: Fw: gandalf.eisnet 02/06/02:15.45 system check

2002-02-07 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Thanks, Llama.

The reason for 2.4.2 is because I attempt to stick with Caldera-stock
kernels.  Granted, I have not done any updates to this box since
install...  the reason is the reason for the last install (say that 10
times fast and it'll STILL sound impressively confusing).  It's a long
story but last time I upgraded everything the box no longer booted and I
have had too much to do to worry about it.  It'll take a few more times on
other boxes before I feel secure again . I have a feeling this has
something to do with a combination of things... partly having to do with
the Mandrake box being bounced, and partly having to do with the Samba
differences, and possibly kernel-related.

I'll have to do another stab at the upgrade process.  

Any ideas on the CDROM icons?  That flipped me out!

Thanks again.

Fw: gandalf.eisnet 02/06/02:15.45 system check

2002-02-06 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Please accept my apologies for cross-listing this.

I have trimmed where I could.  Basically the background info is like this:

I have a machine running COLS3.1 with KDE2.2.1 and configured to do multiple duties, 
among which is being a workstation at times.  Others duties include file/print, 
DNS/DHCP and mail-serving.  I am mirroring a DNS config of about 1000 TLD's and about 
10,000 domains total.  This machine connects to other Samba machines and runs Samba 
2.0.8.  the primary machine it connects to is running MDK8.1 and Samba 2.2.2.  The 
reason I mention this is that I have had occasions where filesystem oddities have 
occurred which look to have something to do with Samba-for instance, ll and df hang 
the shell.  This box sits at my house, which is connected to the corporate network via 
routed ISDN (Cisco).

Early this afternoon I watched the ISDN link fail from work as pings would drop going 
to this machine and to the router.  When I called my wife, she said the link lights 
were not lit.  I figured the telco had an issue and had the line called in.  

I came home to find the CH1 and CH2 lights still dark, and found this machine locked 
hard at the Matrix screen-saver (not moving of course).  Getting on another box next 
to it, I was able to port scan it and find all the appropriate ports answering but no 
services responding.  I attempted to ssh into it without any luck.  Upon rebooting the 
system, I logged into KDE and found my desktop covered with "?"-picted icons all over 
my screen and one overlapped group flashing (creating more) for like 5 minutes.  They 
were various CDROM icons with names like "CD-Drive 2yyuWjb.new" and "CD-Drive 
20FfVjb.new".  They were all 0-length files.

When I was able to get this to settle down and get them deleted, I noticed this email 
from gandalf (the machine that locked-up) from LogCheck (an AWESOME app, I might add).

Thank you for your time and I am sorry to waste your bandwidth.

Matt

ps.  Please note that some of the "shares" mentioned in the logs are valid Samba 
mounts, some are valid NCP mounts (NetWare), and some are actual files and softlinks.  
It looks like the machine bounced once before locking up.

Re: Fwd: SuSE noshow at LWCE NY 2002

2002-02-05 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Not that I am at all anti-GUI.  But there are and will ALWAYS be good
reasons for a CLI.  For instance, there are simple CLI tools which can be
combined in any number of ways to find information and
sort/cut/copy/mail/fold/spindle/mutilate/etc... which would take a long
time to create a GUI to do.  Oftentimes the knowledgeable mind wishes to
do something not commonly done but very time-saving and helpful (eg. 
manipulate a listing of a domain).  He can spend time thinking of an
extensible design for a GUI (which would allow him to add on in the future
as different needs arose), or he could understand the tools that already
exist (building-block tools) and go to bash and type: nslookup
ls amway.com > amway
exit
grep router amway

and have a listing of every listing in the amway.com network that has the
work "router" in it.  Now if he wanted to change the formatting or pipe it
into some other program or file, it's a simple couple key-strokes.  

Not that you couldn't do ALL these things in a GUI.  But in that 30
seconds it just took you to do all that, it would take at least a week to
write some code to do the same thing in a GUI and debug and extend and
create a system which would allow you to be creative and change the output
and routing/mangling next week.  It just doesn't make good sense.  Because
you may never do the same thing twice.  In order to build a GUI tool which
does all that you need, it would take you hundreds of times longer than
just using the tools for the flexibility that they offer.

error-checking is written into the code.  The biggest problem with Webmin
is that it is all done in perl.  I'd like to see the main system rewritten
using J2EE (at least servlets) on Tomcat.  I believe it would be much
faster (yes, Bevis, I said that Java would run faster than something).  I
was comparing SSH to the GUI admin tools of lesser-fortunate OS'es like
Windows Terminal Services and Remotely imPossible.  Things of that nature.
 Web GUI's are where it's at for GUI over the internet, although the CLI
is still much more powerful.  GUI makes it clean and neat and nifty... but
there ain't no grep, awk, perl, cut, {insert favorite CLI tool} in a web
GUI.  Note that Novell NetWare will is heading toward complete Web GUI
administration as well.  They have seen that light... and others.  Look
for Novell to treat Linux as a normal desktop OS.  I have heard relyable
rumors of Desktop admin tools for Linux Desktops in the very near future.

Re: Fwd: SuSE noshow at LWCE NY 2002

2002-02-04 Thread Matthew Carpenter

While I agree with some of what you said, Mike, I must add that as of
February 4th, 2002, GUI apps for remote administration are still infants. 
They are relatively insecure and bloated in their use of bandwidth when
compared with the their slick cousin, SSH.  Yes, you can get lost in
bash/etc... but that is because it is so powerful, as is the CLI.  GUI's
are great and I love to see more added to Linux all the time.  I fight for
Linux on the desktop and GUI-everything is what it is going to take.  But
when I administer remote clients (especially the poor souls locked into a
5 year contract with their 56k ISDN connection) SSH and the command line
is what I want.  Dated and trapped in a time-warp?  Perhaps.  Pragmatic? 
You betcha.

I've been pretty happy with Mandrake on my desktop.  I only wish they'd
stick a little closer to the normal menuing system.  I find mdk's
customized menu rather annoying.  One thing nice I've found about SuSE,
BTW, is that it includes FreeSWAN VPN solution in the box.  Caldera, RH,

DNS/DHCP Statistics

2002-01-20 Thread Matthew Carpenter

I recently put together a proposal to replace our DNS/DHCP servers with Linux running 
BIND/DHCPD with a Webmin GUI so non-unix types can still add an occasional name, 
etc...  After my hair unslicked from the "no chance in hell" response, I was requested 
to dig up some info on DNS/DHCP usage throughout the enterprise.  

I am looking for information regarding one or both of the following:  Who uses what 
software/vendor?  Statistics on what is the most used, etc... (like the NetCraft Web 
Server Survey).

Since I am the Linux evangelist in this case, I could use any support you can offer...

Thanks in advance.

I'm impressed with ATI!

2002-01-06 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Has anyone searched for "Linux" on ATI's web site?  I did and found a decent 45 
hits... one lead me to their Linux FAQ.  In the FAQ they answer a lot of questions 
honestly and fairly.  Where some vendors would simply state that their hardware has 
been known to work with Linux but they don't provide support, their FAQ gives quite a 
bit of details about where to find help, what does work and what is being worked on.  
While they don't directly support Linux (which of course would be better), the treat 
it much like they do.  They give links to OpenSource sites for support and 
suggest(mildly) that users contribute at XFree86.org.

As a strong Linux user/supporter, I like to see the kind of information that they make 
available.  I will definitely be purchasing ATI hardware in the near future, as I am 
interested in video capture and conversion.  AIW seems to be the way to go.  I am 
interested in others' input about this topic.

Thought I'd let you know.

Matt

Sorry to reply to my own post, but the issue WAS the [dos] file.  I copied and pasted 
the config into a new file in vi and lilo ran flawlessly.


Thanks anyway!

Lilo question (HW-RAID5)/Error

2002-01-02 Thread Matthew Carpenter

I have RH7.2 installed on a Compaq Dual-PPro with HW RAID5.  It's an old box (200MHz 
for each proc) but it seems to run ok.  I am attempting to update my lilo config and 
running into problems.  Here is my lilo.conf file:

prompt
timeout = 100
boot = /dev/ida/c0d0p1
map = /boot/map
install = /boot/boot.b
message = /boot/message
default = linux

image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10smp
label = linux
initrd = /boot/initrd-2.4.7-10smp.img
read-only
append = " mem=256M"
root = /dev/ida/c0d0p2

image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10
label = linux-up
initrd = /boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img
read-only
append = " mem=256M"
root = /dev/ida/c0d0p2

When I attempt to execute /sbin/lilo -v -v -v it gives me this:

[root@lngi56 etc]# lilo -v -v -v
LILO version 21.4-4, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger
'lba32' extensions Copyright (C) 1999,2000 John Coffman

Reading boot sector from current root.
Merging with /boot/boot.b
Device 0x4801: BIOS drive 0x80, 255 heads, 4110 cylinders,
   32 sectors. Partition offset: 73440 sectors.

   32 sectors. Partition offset: 73440 sectors.
Syntax error near line 2 in file /etc/lilo.conf
Removed temporary file /boot/map~



It doesn't seem to matter what line 2 is.  I've rearranged the lilo.conf file around 
in everywhich way...

Here's the last intriguing tidbit:  When I edit /etc/lilo.conf, vi puts the [dos] tag 
at the bottom of the screen  Would this make a difference?

Thanks all,
Matt

Re: IMPAP server configuration question

2001-12-15 Thread Matthew Carpenter

IMAP configuration, as I have found it, is nonexistent.  Either you allow it or not 
(though your inetd config) and you control access to the service (hosts.allow and 
hosts.deny, I suppose iptables as well).

It's essentially on or off.  If I'm wrong, please tell me otherwise.  I created a 
directory called MAIL off my user directory and it is where all my mail is stored, 
etc...  In Sylpheed (my IMAP client) there is a configuration "IMAP server directory" 
which I type in "MAIL" and everything works.  I believe Netscape has the same option.

Re: Linux Dial-up Server

2001-12-15 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Thanks guys!  I knew asking you was the right way to go.  Stew, Bruce, thanks.

On question- Bruce, does the Moxa require 2.4.16?  Or would a 2.4.2 stock W3.1 kernel 
do just fine?  When I do things for clients, I try to stick to the KISS principle and 
right now, that's COL3.1 with a modified Hunley update script.  The version I have 
didn't support 3.1, since Caldera threw in the additional "Server" or "Workstation" in 
their ftp path.  You'd think they didn't WANT the script to work, or that they don't 
pay attention to their install-base...  Either could be made arguments for.

Procmail not invoking as expected

2001-12-03 Thread Matthew Carpenter

I am using procmail in various Caldera server installs (3.1 and 2.3).  For some 
reason, procmail does not automatically invoke on local delivery although the cf, mc 
and m4 files would suggest that this should be the case.

ie. I'm running procmail from .forward, which is fine, but I was under the impression 
that this was unnecessary.

Thanks,
Matt

No, but the sendmail.cf file seems to have /usr/bin/procmail, which is correct.  I

Procmail

2001-11-30 Thread Matthew Carpenter

I am unable to get procmail to work!  I have re-m4-ed my sendmail.cf file
to include MAILER(procmail) and everything LOOKS ok.  I have a .procmailrc
file in the user's home directory, and yet I get no difference and no logs
of what isn't happening!  ARG!  Help?  This is running on COLS3.1 and does include the 
added bonus of using fetchmail.  REPEAT:  This is NOT the actual target of the mail.  
The mail is pulled from another server using POP3 using fetchmail, but fetchmail is 
supposed to connect to port 25 to deliver the mail just like it WAS the originator.

Thanks,
Matt

VI was written so you could BE on drugs and get out of the file without hidden stuff.

SPAM Denial

2001-11-28 Thread Matthew Carpenter

I'm looking for a little help turning on blackholing on my email server (running 
sendmail).  It looks like the m4 files are there for it, but I am looking for someone 
who has implemented it on eS or COL S3.1.  I am running both.  I'm planning to 
implement blacklisting as well as procmail to ditch any additional SPAM or junk mail 
which are legit but unwanted.

TIA!
Matt

Re: Opera 6 beta available

2001-11-27 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Speaking of which, does anyone have a recommendation for a good WYSIWYG HTML Editor?  
Not just what NetScape and Mozilla have, I am looking for something I can use to do 
things like FORMS, and it'd be a big plus to have something like DreamWeaver's 
capability of using Layers to place content, but with the capability of converting to 
tables.  While I realize that no Open Source HTML project has climbed to that extent 
yet, is there anything with the first requirements?  I have been unhappy with the 
"acclaimed" tools like Quanta since I am looking for WYSIWYG.

Re: router with one interface

2001-11-27 Thread Matthew Carpenter

On the machine that is configured for 1.2.3.5
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE

On the machine that is configured for 192.168.1.2, make its default gateway 192.168.1.1

SNAT is for Statically NATting the source address.
DNAT is for Statically NATting the destination address.
You may overload an ip address, but it acts as loadbalancing, not sharing.

Masquerading acts more like PAT (port address translation).  The MASQERADE-ing machine 
handles the address sharing.

What are the .12 and .13 boxen running?  How about nmbd, is it running ok?  What do 
the log files say (if anything)?  (/var/log/samba.d/* on Caldera).  

BTW-192.168.1.11 is most likely not the name of the machine.  Put the NetBIOS name in 
that location.  If you need to specify the IP address for some reason, use the -I

I don't have either of those files on either machine.  Due to the ambiguity of Client

Re: Remote X login (SOLVED)

2001-11-03 Thread Matthew Carpenter

I'm still not there yet:

I am attempting to start the remote X session in runlevel 5 by using the following 
command:

X :1 -query www.xxx.yyy.zzz

I see the following in response after all the X messages (screen size, refresh,etc..):

AUDIT: Sat Nov  3 09:07:11 2001: 1550 X: client 1 rejected from IP  port 
42502
  Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1


On the remote system, I see this in /var/log/messages:

Nov  3 10:18:56 gandalf kdm[5367]: server open failed for elandyl:1, giving up
Nov  3 10:18:56 gandalf kdm[31019]: Display elandyl:1 cannot be opened

Any Ideas?  It's like my local box is rejecting the remote system's attempts to give 
me a login screen.

My next step is to make this a part of the bootup (dual X, one remote).  Would this be 
best achieved by entering the following as the next line in Xservers?

:1  /X :1 -query gandalf (or IP address)

Thanks.

Caldera RPM Putting!

2001-09-20 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Where would I place Caldera RPMs?  I try to anonymous ftp to ftp.caldera.com 
but am unable (permission denied) to write any files there.  Anywhere?  I 
have Snort (and associated libpcap), althea, gtknw, ncpfs, and sylpheed on 
this machine, and much more on others, but I have nowhere to put them to make 
them available to the public.

When I did "rpm -Uvh kdelibs2-2.1.2-1.i386.rpm "
I got the messages.  What do they mean and will this bite me later?

CUPS Printing from Konqueror... Status 32!

2001-09-08 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Perhaps someone cann shine some light on an issue for me:

I have having an issue printing using CUPS from Konqueror.

SPECS:
COL Server 3.1 on a Celeron-450,
Canon BJC7004
CUPS
URL causing problem:
http://www.brasseagle.com/products/product_detail.asp?item_num=1410&cat=Markers

Problem: error_log shows the following (note the "stopped with status 32!"):

I [08/Sep/2001:13:45:06 -0500] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops 
(PID 5087) for job 16.
I [08/Sep/2001:13:45:06 -0500] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic 
(PID 5088) for job 16.
I [08/Sep/2001:13:45:06 -0500] Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel 
(PID 5089) for job 16.
E [08/Sep/2001:13:45:07 -0500] PID 5088 stopped with status 32!

This is a problem since I'm attempting to print out Christmas Gift ideas for 
my wife!   I haven't been able to find what that error message means...

Thanks all
Matt

Re: Pros/Cons - eServer 3.1 vs SuSE 7.2 Pro

2001-08-29 Thread Matthew Carpenter

eS3.1 (ISO):
Pros:
  free, powerful 2.4.2, https:Webmin, tried and true distro with security 
updates, etc

Cons:
  Threat of "DEMO" 30 day evaluation

eS3.1 Purchase:
Pros:
  all the listed pros above
Cons:
$699

SuSE Pro 7.2:
  Someone else fill in here, as I am unfamiliar with 7.2 (though 7.1 is 
pretty nice, but very different from COL)

Description:
I have been having a terrible time getting my NetWare client to work
on 
eD2.4.  I am in a large NetWare 4.11 network.  The interface seems
pretty 
intuitive, but when I log in, perhaps I'll get to access volumes for
a while, 
perhaps not, but it always (sooner rather than later) ends up not
letting me 
access the Novell volumes and my logs go berzerk.  I'm sticking with
eD even 
when Sybil comes out because Sybil lacks Novell connectivity.  The
NetWare 
client is what attracted me to Caldera a couple years ago.  Could
you please 
help me?  

Special characteristics of our network over which I have no control
are as 
follows (will change with NetWare 5.1 rollout later in the year or
early next 
year):
27 different partitions in our tree.
HUGE amounts of SAPs are propagated though the tree as well.

Thank you very much,
Matthew Carpenter

ps.  Is there a way to get the NWClient for Sybil?  I'd be willing
to build 
it and RPM it if you still keep it and support it.

pps.  Is there a reason that an eD2.4 box with the latest
Caldera-provided 
kernel and glib's wouldn't work with the NWClient?  I get the
following:

At 06/13/2001 01:28 PM you wrote - After compiling and installing
this new nkfs.o module, I get a Segmentation Fault when loading the
module.  I use the following command (taken from
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nwclient and used from the command line):
 /sbin/insmod /usr/lib/modules/nkfs.o  

Also, is anyone actively supporting the NetWare client?  I see that
this module is "Open Source" but does that mean that the client is?
Has this been announced loudly so that someone can pick up
management of the project?  What is the reason this client was
dropped?  Is Novell going to be providing a client from here out?

Thanks,
Matt

At 06/14/2001 02:32 PM you wrote - I did a make;make install and the
module at /usr/lib/modules/nkfs.o changed timestamps to yesterday
(the day I compiled).

I just now, went to the source directory and did an 
insmod nkfs.o
and it took.

Then I started the client and it seems to be working.
Thank you.  I'll close the case in a day or so.  Let me work with it
a bit. 


At 06/19/2001 09:57 AM you wrote - This is really odd.  When I
reboot, I get varied results.  It seemed to work the first time,
when I had to manually insmod nkfs.o.  Now that I have run depmod -a
and rebooted I do load the nkfs.o module when I start the client,
but now I cannot access any Volumes.  I can traverse the tree but
when I do a nwwhoami I get back that I have a connection to the
server I'm trying to access but I'm unauthenticated.  My logs show
this:

ipx is configure to auto_primary and auto_interface.

Before rebooting (the reason for it) I was able to read from the
volumes fine and was even able to mkdir a direct
