[newbie] Squid reverse proxy OWA
Hi, I have squid set up as a reverse proxy sending request to my machine with Outlook Web Access on it. Squid seems to be working ok as I can get test pages from the OWA machine no problems from an external address but I am having problems accessing the OWA itself from external addresses, it brings up the log in box and then ticks over untill I get request was cancelled in both frames of the OWA window. Whats also strange is that I can access OWA through squid fine from an internal address, although it does bring up the log in details twice... So what I'm thinking is that when accessing from an external address the authentication gets messed up somehow. Has anybody got Squid and OWA to work correctly and if so can you see where I'm going wrong? Squid is latest stable version: squid-2.5.STABLE6 OWA is Exchange 2000 Cheers Dan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Dhcp client issues with samba server and others
I have a laptop that's is running dhcp since i move around a lot with it. For the most part everything works fine except for some services. Notably samba and ftp. From what i can gather is these services are requiring an ip addy which is not available at the time they are started from the rc5.d path. If I then login as root and restart the services everything works fine. The error message i get from somba nmb service is no local interfaces. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Beware the PD virus
Only problem is that this virus will spread by targeting the 'weak' among the population. These people get so infected that one starts to seriously consider removing them from the gene pool, for the good of the others. -p rikona wrote: Hello , There is a virus that goes around occasionally and causes a lot of trouble. Is is usually spread via email, and since it is sent as plain text it seems to be able to get through all antivirus programs. It is one of the few computer viruses that seem to infect humans, and indeed, the symptoms often show up first in the human, not the computer. One of the first symptoms is that it makes people want to reply to the email, and thus spread the virus even further - it is an insidious virus. As with other viruses, some people suffer the effects much more than others. It causes some people to behave in very odd, sometimes violent ways. Since AV programs do not stop this virus, it is up to each of us to try and stamp it out. So, if you get a suspicious email that looks as though it contains the 'Political Discussion' virus, make sure you DO NOT make the infection worse by sending a reply to others, especially if you are feeling upset or otherwise affected by the virus. If you simply cannot control yourself, it is better to quarantine it to, say, the OT list. People on that list should be aware of the dangers, since the PD virus, and others, are often likely to infect that group. Unfortunately, it is a common virus on Internet email lists.

[newbie] samba security premissions.
I am trying to configure samba (from mandrake 8.2) to allow everyone to read a share but to allow only me to have write and delete premissions. I managed to successfully connect to the share from a windoze 2k machine using my samba user/password. The linux,it's a laptop, and win2k machines are on different domain/workgroups. I noticed that no conections ever show up in the all conections list nor in the one for the share as well. I would really like to know where to look to see a login/activity log. I'm attaching my .conf file as well. The win2k machine is on a microbully network with a win2k server running as a pdc and the laptop is on the workgroup that runs at home. I have never been able to do this type of configuration so i'm hopping it's just something simple. I use webadmin for my system maintenance. # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed # here.

I was really pleased to get such a quick response. I went to work on the machine last night and I tried the Xtart thing and it failed, so I guess that means that the chipset is not supported. I happened to have a newish Slackware disk with me so I installed it to see how it would cope with the savage and it just defaulted to the Vesa server and that worked fine, even with KDE 3.1.0. I put the same setup on Mandrake using XFdrake and it worked fine there too, no surprise. I don't really undrestand why Mandrake doesn't default in the same way after not finding a suitable driver. Does the vesa server mean that the card is not being used properly (or at all). I would think its fine for an easy peasy newbie friendly installation if it just defaults to vesa so at least people can have a look at the desktop and be happy that the installation has gone ok. People who want to get the maximum out of their graphics card will soon find out if it's not being used properly and can go and fix it. I still didn't open the case, the computer is not mine so I'll avoid doing that until I really have to. Thanks once again for the help, hope I can be of help to you sometime. Ciao, Daniel Hutton
[newbie] Savage drivers
Hello, I'm installing Mandrake for an association that I'm part of and I'm having trouble getting x configured on a dual boot pc with a newly installed Madrake 9.1. I got all the graphics card info from windows which tells me that the graphic card is; S3 Grphics ProSavage DDR with 32Mb memory and a "S3 P4M266" chip set. I didn't open the box to check it and the documentation doesn't say what the card actually is. >From the position of the video port it looks like the grafics card might be inetgrated into the motherboard. X just won't start. I've tried all the savage drivers but none of them pass the test during installation. I skipped the X set up during installation and then went and tried again with XFdrake but still no luck. I've tried both the versions of XFree86 offered to me during installation. Using XFdrake I checked that the monitor is set up ok and it has used values which exactly match the values in the manual so I'm pretty sure the autodetect has worked well for the monitor. Sorry if this is a tough one but I'm really stuck. Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Ciao, Daniel Hutton P.S I love 9.1, it's first time I've tried Mandrake and I've already put it on 3 computers.

Ive run xmms from a shell and nothing is printed to screen. Im using Mandrake 9.1 on a Mac. Ive just found out that my Xmms hasn't found any audio plugins or output plugins.

RE: [newbie] chmod and higher security level

It's Mandrake's security program "msec" that's doing this to you. I fixed it by going to /usr/share/msec and editing the perm.? file (where "?" is the number corresponding to the security level you are using) and commenting out the line that says "/home/*". It's this particular line that says all directories in /home should have a certain level of permissions. If you comment the line, msec won't change the permissions of subdirectories of /home. (When you look at the entire file you'll probably get the gist.) The command "rpm -ql msec" will list all the files in the msec package, if you want to poke around (as I like to do). - Kathy On Thu, 2003-03-06 at 09:18, Griffiths, Daniel wrote: > Hi All, > > This may be a silly question but I have been searching the net for a while and not > found an answer.. > > I have mandrake 9.0 and installed choosing the higher level of security. > My intention is using the system as a web server for a few different sites, the > files being located in the /home//public_html dir and a user set up for each > site i.e. /home/site1/public_html.

Yes You will probably need monitor and keyboard for install and initial setup.

[newbie] kernel panic during install when formatting swap partition on PowerMac 8600
I'm trying to install Mandrake 8.2/PPC on a Powermac 8600/300 with 2x4GB SCSI hard drives and 192MB RAM in it. I've tried installing onto both drives, but I get the same error either way. The problem I'm having is that I get a kernel panic when the installer gets to the point of trying to format the swap partition. If I don't create a swap partition then it goes through that step just fine, but obviously I wouldn't bother continuing in that case. The weird part is that I get a similar crash when trying to install Yellowdog linux as well, but it's only the swap partition that causes a problem. I've already tried a low-level format of the drives, and I've tried putting the swap partition in different places on the drive. I also ran the Yellowdog version of parted and tried creating partitions manually - everything goes fine until I actually try to create the filesystem on the swap partition, then it blows up. Actually, if I create a really small swap partition (~10MB) then it works OK, but 128MB or larger doesn't. I haven't done any testing to determine the largest successful swap partition I can create a filesystem on. Any ideas? This has been driving me crazy for a week now.

I guess this means I haven't come across it before but I would just like to know why the unusual arrangement. Are any of these devices true scsi devices, because to get writer programmes in linux to recognise most ide devices scsi emulation is employed , and indeed that is what hda=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi does for you, though I add them to the append= line in each stanza , rather than globally at the beginning. However I note that even in the append= line for each stanza you have something different, that is, hda=ide-scsi hdd-scsi, rather than hda=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi, and I believe this is incorrect, and since it is the later entry in the whole business of reading your lilo.conf entries I'm guessing these are the ones it is trying to implement.

Daniel,
First...I'm hoping that it was a copy and paste error, but you are
missing the 'i' on image=/boot/vmlinux on the first (default) entry.
In addition, the default entry is the only one with the append= line
that does not read append="devfs=mount hda=ide-scsi hdd-scsi"
('quiet' keeps you from seeing all the 'goodies' load--I prefer to see
that everything is loading o.k., so I have removed it.)
Without those ide-scsi and hdd-scsi entries, your system is going to
have problems 'seeing' them. I would suggest that you modify the
append= line in your first (default) entry to read either:
append="quiet devfs=mount hda=ide-scsi hdd-scsi"
or
append="devfs=mount hda=ide-scsi hdd-scsi"
Either way, once you have made the change and saved the lilo.conf file,
at a (root) command prompt, type 'lilo' or '/sbin/lilo' (without quote
marks). You will get a return of the new lilo configuration, so you
know it 'took'.
Then do a normal shutdown and restart...your CD drive should then be
available as a CDROM and a CD burner.
(BTW: I have found eroaster to be very reliable and much easier to
configure...personal opinion, of course.)

Is there a work round? Yes. The distribution Mandrake Linux 9.0 (dolphin) was installed on a PC. The drives were designated by the OS as the following: hda: DVD-ROM drive. (Connected to motherboard IDE controller.) hdc: LS-120 floptical drive. (Connected to motherboard IDE controller.) hde: 80.0 GB HDD. (Connected to PCI IDE controller.) hdg: 15.3 GB HDD. (Connected to PCI IDE controller.) In Windows XP Professional the drives were designated as: Drive A: LS-120 floptical drive. (Connected to motherboard IDE controller.) Drive C: 80.0 GB HDD. (Connected to PCI IDE controller.) Drive D: 15.3 GB HDD. (Connected to PCI IDE controller.) Drive E: DVD-ROM drive. (Connected to motherboard IDE controller.) No solution to the unconventional Mandrake Linux 9.0 drive distribution was found. The details were the following.

When an attempt to access the floppy-disk drive for the ATA controller's device drivers was made, there was an error message that stated that the floppy-disk drive could not be mounted. Mandrake Linux 9.0 CD-ROMs were purchased from The Linux Emporium (http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/). The PC was booted from the first Mandrake binary CD. Both hard-disk drives were detected along with the LS-120 floptical drive which had the installation configuration written to it. The Mandrake Linux distribution was installed. The drives were designated by the OS as follows: hda: DVD-ROM drive. (Connected to motherboard IDE controller.) hdc: LS-120 floptical drive. (Connected to motherboard IDE controller.) hde: 80.0 GB HDD. (Connected to PCI IDE controller.) hdg: 15.3 GB HDD. (Connected to PCI IDE controller.) In the Debian 3.0 boot argument "floppy=thinkpad" produced the error message: "Could not find kernel image: floppy=t.him" (sic). Another boot argument "bootfloppy0" produced the error message: "VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER request_module[block-major-2]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device "fd0" on 02:00 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00" and then the system hung.

[newbie] Chkrootkit shows nothing?
A few days ago, I got some KWrited docs popping up on my Mandrake 8.1
desktop ("Security warning: World Writeable files found" followed by a long
list of files located on both hardrives). I am a linux newbie and assumed
the popups were the product of some kind of monitoring utility that I had
inadvertently installed.
Although I have a simple workstation setup (except for the extra partitions
and triple boot aspect to it) and installed 8.1 with medium security, I went
back into the control panel and re-set it to medium security and the Kwrited
popups stopped appearing.
>From the lists of files displayed, I assumed my machine had been compromised
and that I would have to partition, reformat, reload the win98, mandrake 8.1
and Redhat 5.1 partition in order to make things right. I downloaded
chkrootkit and ran it while booted to the main HD/ Mandrake 8.1 just to see
what was up. Surprisingly it showed nothing. I'm not sure why that is. I
am not familiar with chkrootkit and may have failed to run it so that it
searched all of the drives.
Can anyone tell me how to run it to seach RH 5.1 or the win98SE partition?
Can that be done from 8.1 on the other drive as I attempted? Does it check
comprehensively or does it only check the drive/OS that it is booted to?
Secondly, is it possible that, despite the KWrited popops that occured on 2
different occasions, my machine is unnaffected?

Re: [newbie] Postfix error message
Thank you for your help. I did check the diskspace and it has plenty of space available. However, I figured out the problem and I would like to share with everybody here. Two days ago I install a guestbook cgi in my Apache web server. One thing I did not know is that every time when someone signed the guestbook, it will sent a notice email to the web master I set up in the Apache setting. The way it send the email is put a message in /var/spool/postfix/maildrop Unfortunately, this folder is not own by Apache and it did not allow world to write in the directory. So, how do I solve the problem? I change the permission to world writable. I know it probably is not a good idea for security reason, so I am looking if any of you expert can give me some advice.

[newbie] Help me with Mandrake 8.1 bootloader and other problems
I installed Mandrake 8 on my computer that I recently put together from scratch. I chose to install the text-based LILO. When it booted up, it got to the "LI" and it hung right there. I downloaded Mandrake 8.1. During the install this time, it said "Installation of bootloader failed. The following error occurred: Syntax error near line 6 in file/etc/lilo.conf" So when it went back to installing the bootloader again in the install, I chose to install GRUB. GRUB worked fine. So I thought, I'll see if I can install LILO now that GRUB works. I went to Mandrake Control Center and installed LILO. Lilo did the same thing again and stopped at the LI. So, I booted from the floppy, and installed GRUB again from the Mandrake Control Center. Now GRUB doesn't work. It hangs after displaying "GRUB GRUB" on startup. I can boot fine from the floppy though. Is there another way to re-install the bootloader? Is there a way to install Mandrake without changing my current configuration? I have some more general questions: How do I adjust the volume in Mandrake Linux? I'm running KDE. The startup sound always blasts out of my speakers when I login. Is there a "Task Manager" in Linux, like there is in Windows2000? I typed "top" but there are too many processes to display in the window. How do I see all the processes? When it crashes, what do I do? Hit the reset button? It crashed, and I didn't know what to press. Is Kmovie buggier than hell? It won't play most of my music videos, and if I choose to open another movie file when I'm playing something, it crashes. Is there a better movie player for Linux? Why can I only use traceroute when I'm logged in as root? How do I allow normal users to use traceroute? When I click on the "Home" icon in my home directory, it goes to "/mnt/cdrom2" for some reason. When in Konquerer, and I click the Home icon, it goes to my home directory though. How do I make it so when I click the desktop icon, it goes to "/home/ddeham"? Finally, I know this is asking a lot, but is there any way I can watch TV with my ATI All In Wonder Radeon card in Linux? Answers to any of these questions would be appreciated. Thanks, Daniel Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
