Ciao a tutti. Ho un problema che si era presentato poco tempo fa ma che non sono riuscito a risolvere: la connessione con ppp mi cade durante la fase iniziale dell'autenticazione con il server.

[newbie-it] Scuse, ringraziamenti informazioni
Prima di tutto è giusto chiedere scusa se l'altro giorno mi è partita una e-mail al gruppo ( mount partizione ntfs) con la richiesta di conferma lettura... ...umilmente scusa!!! :-) Poi voglio ringraziare quanti hanno iniziato a dedicarmi un pochino del loro tempo! edinfine...alcune richieste... ...come avete capito sono proprio all'inizio di una lunga e faticosa scoperta: il mondo linux. Dove voglio arrivare? Beh...nulla di particolaregestire con semplicità reti locali di medie dimensioni...principalmente server linux e pc client windows (purtroppo!). Come curiosità, principalmente. Gestire smtp interna, utenti, sicurezza...stampanti e poco di più! Non ho fretta e so che sarà lunga!! Vi chiedo se avete link da consigliare...magari in italiano...che iniziano a spiegare linux da zero ( da copy e format del dos...per intendersi!) o anche filosofieed altro. Infine...se qualcuno ha voglia, lancio questa piccola sfida!!! :-))) Cosa potrebbe convincermi a investire tempo in linux? Cioè, che vantaggi potrebbe portarmi ad avere un server linux, piuttosto che windows Non vi chiedo di farmi l'elenco delle cose che in windows non vanno (quelle più o meno si conoscono) ma preferirei cosa linux ha di veramente utile! Non vuole essere assolutamente una provocazione, ma uno stimolo per convincere altre persone ad investire lo stesso tempo! Grazie a tutti Francesco

Per far riconoscere il lettore cd a x-cd-roast devi fare in modo che anche questo device venga emulato scsi, così come succede per il CDR.

I did declare it as a removable source though. i just did this with an old 8.0 cd and the 8.0 packages are showing up in the 'installable' list, Lucky you, wanna trade places? if you unmount the cd, insert another. mount it and add as a source with a differnet name then using the same mount point doesn't matter as software manager is aware the source is removable media, as for ftp://rpmfind.net it appears that even though it mirrors the RPMS directories for 8.1 and 8.2 it doesn't mirror the rest of the distro files, Which basically means it doesn't hold the RPM's I need for Mdk 8.0? try defining an ftp source with the url: ftp.ciril.fr/pub1/linux/mandrake/8.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ and the relative position of the hdlsi file as ../base/hdlist.cz I did it with 8.0 substituted for 8.2 in the above whilst I had to su to use the software manager and was off line and entered everything except a username and password.

Re: [newbie] Problem with ISP DNS address lookup
Hello Gerald, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I realise it should show the local IP address, but should it be that of the locally assigned ppp port provided by the ISP's DNS server, or that of the ethernet card which I can't see relevant to this. When I ping the external server port, it displays my local ISP assigned IP address which I assume to be correct. But when I try to ping any external, valid IP address it displays the addres of my ethernet card. The resolv.conf file looks like: domain acay.com.au # my ISP search rob.com.au acay.com.au nameserver 203.88.255.99 #kppp temp entry nameserver 203.88.240.88 #kppp temp entry My ISP tells me these are correct.

[newbie] What's different with cron?
Hi, Some time ago a kind soul sent me a set of backup scripts which do a wonderful job of automating a weekly full backup and daily incremental cycle. They even restore! Proved that a fews days ago when I had a disk crash. These are launched as root of course, so after having run them a number of times from a console, and checked that everything worked nicely, I put the command in root's crontab. I have since found though, that when run in this way most of the directories specified are not backed up at all and it seems to vary from day to day. So something is different between saying: /bin/launch-bkups from a console as root and putting: 00 23 * * * /bin/launch-bkups in root's crontab. I've looked in /var/log/cron - logs there don't report anything abnormal. syslog shows no errors. Where else do I look, or can anyone point out the obvious to me?

However, the response was that the 'device or resource is busy'. I tried umount -f /dev/hda5 but without any success. I am trying to unmount all linux partitions on my hd so that I can move them from one place (sector) to another (sector) using 'parted' which is included in the rescue mode.

Perhaps it's because I'm ftping to it using it's name of linuxbox.localdomain.com instead of it's IP address but I think it results in the same conclusion either way! I can ping, and telnet at *any* time with no problems, internet or no internet... Thanks in advance for any help!

If that's not feasible, you should be at least saving changed configs, and your /Mail and bookmarks files folders. I'm an advocate of having a spare partition (/stor/) that I keep config files and a copy of /home in. Then I don't bother with havin a separate /home partition. MOF, I do fresh installs to one big 'ol '/' after re-formatting it. A re-install may not be neccessary tho. Try just putting in the 1st CD and doin an upgrade. A lot of times that'll fix things you messed up, without rewriting (most all of) your changed configs, or your mail and bookmarks, or anything else in /home. If a re-install is needed, you can save your /home dir (don't format it), or like in my case, I just move back in stuff from my backup /home.

I created a directory '/home/shared' to use for a shared nfs/samba mount point. (/home is the only partition I have large enough for the shared area, plus I can back up the shared directory along with home directories by simply backing up /home.) I changed the group ownership to 'shared' and assigned the appropriate members to the 'shared' group, and issued a 'chmod 770 /home/shared' to allow the 'shared' group full access to the folder. At first the members of the shared group could access the directory fine, however after a while the folder was no longer accessible and I noticed that the permissions had reverted back to '700'. The directory was accessible again but the permissions reverted back to '700' shortly thereafter. What could be causing the permissions to change on their own?

I then added it and clicked on reload lists and the source I had just added wasn't even probed before it filled the trees so I went back to defining the sources and saw that the entry I had just added had disappeared. forgive me if i am confused but you mention being offline and adding sources, this should work for the cds - not sure why it's not working for you, but you need to be online for adding remote sources using software manager since it fetches a copy of either hdlist.cz or synthesis.hdlist.cz during the add source process and if it can't fetch them this will fail, I think it is time to reinstall personally but I know someone who has been getting me to change hundreds of files for configuration of this and that just isn't going to be happy. :( Asides from that I am not able to do a backup yet as my NIC isn't working. SHIT!! so I end up losing some very important email from my 'stable system. if you have the 8.0 cds and you installed from them then you should have had them automatically set up fro you as sources in software manager, doing an upgrade as suggested elsewhere would add them as sources again (this can lead duplicate entries i delete any sources listed before upgrading from cds), if you installed online then again that install source should have been set up for you, i think an upgrade is worth a try before reverting to windows - though a backup beforehand wouldn't go amiss! your very last try might be to remove rpmdrake and urpmi and related dependencies plus the /var/lib/urpmi/ and /etc/urpmi directories and then upgrade, perhaps these many config changes you mention have broken something? bascule -- The wages of sin is death, but so is the salary of virtue, and at least the evil get to go home early on Fridays.

Re: [newbie] Unisys, Microsoft to launch anti-Unix ads
UNISYS is getting desperate. It seems they aren't selling as many 16/32-way Windows servers as they thought they would. For some reason companies aren't over-eager to replace their well-established big-iron UNIX infrastructure that processes millions of dollars in transactions every day with with a product that hasn't yet been conclusively proven as being reliable from a company that has little experience at the 'enterprise' level. (e.g. Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter. UNISYS has lots of experience there, as well as being, oh, how shall we say it... 'An expensive trap that ties you to an inflexible system that requires you to pay for expensive experts and makes you struggle daily with a server environment that's more complex than ever.' Remember, this is the same company that quietly waited years while .GIF became the predominant graphics format in the web and then all of the sudden announced that they had a patent on the compression algorithm and demanded everyone pay royalties. UNISYS is a dinosaur whose day has long since passed. They have been unwilling or unable to evolve to meet the needs of the changing business climate. They will soon be extinct.

[newbie] POP server need telnet daemon?
I understand that you can test a mail server (both POP and SMTP) by using telnet on the appropriate port. Does that stand to reason that you need telnetd running in order to make the mail server work?

Re: [newbie] copy all
su cd / tar cvf foo.tar * --exclude /mnt/* cp foo.tar /mnt/other_drive cd /mnt/other_drive tar xf foo.tar Sorry, can't check this, as I only have a few hundred MB left on my hard disk! All the better to use a pipe, then. The above is OK but you have to be able to store the tarball somewhere. That's OK (and I've done it many times) when you have relatively small partitions and enough space to store a few hundred megs in /tmp while you switch everything around. In fact, I took that approach while I was moving partitions around and formatting everything for reiserfs recently. Usually you'll do something like: tar -cf /path/to/where --exclude /mnt/* | (cd /mnt; tar -xf -) That way, everything in the first tar is piped to the subexpression on the other side of the pipe. You need the parentheses here because you want the other process on the other side of the pipe to be in a different subdirectory than the process on the left hand side of that pipe. And voila :) no intermediate copy lying around. Robin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
