Re: MySQL front ends, was: Re: no printing from kmail
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. begin "David A.

Re: Fwd: SuSE noshow at LWCE NY 2002
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.

Re: Fw: gandalf.eisnet 02/06/02:15.45 system check
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
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. begin forwarded message: Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2002 15:45:04 -0500 From: "root" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: gandalf.eisnet 02/06/02:15.45 system check Security Violations =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Feb 6 13:25:57 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find gandalf/.directory failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:25:57 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:25:57 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:25:58 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //gandalf failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:25:58 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:25:58 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //SOFTWARE failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:25:59 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:25:59 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //SOFTWARE failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:25:59 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:25:59 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //GZ08 failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:25:59 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:25:59 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //GZ08 failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:25:59 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:25:59 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //linunity.pdf failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:25:59 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //linunity.pdf failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //IS01 failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //IS01 failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //silentm failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //silentm failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //WW29 failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //WW29 failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //mgc failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //mgc failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //FIREWALL failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3 Feb 6 13:26:00 gandalf kernel: smb_lookup: find //FIREWALL failed, error=-5 Feb 6 13:26

Re: Fwd: SuSE noshow at LWCE NY 2002
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.

Re: Fwd: SuSE noshow at LWCE NY 2002
I agree whole-heartedly with everything you just said. Webmin and webmin-like tools are excellent and will get even better as better 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
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.

I'm impressed with ATI!
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.

Re: IMPAP server configuration question
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
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
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.

SPAM Denial

Re: Opera 6 beta available
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?

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 option.

Re: Remote X login (SOLVED)
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.

Was this just enabled in eD and eS? I know that I never had to do that back then... All I had to do there was uncomment the "*" line in Xaccess.

Re: AVI files
The file may be in DiVX format, which is encoded and labeled AVI. On Windows I believe you have to install a shim to run this kind of file.

Consequently, we have changed the status of your incident to SOLVED. If your incident is still UNRESOLVED, please use the link below to reactivate the incident and update it with additional information. --- 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?
