[newbie] help with pure-ftpd installation
Hello Mandrake godz, I am running Mandrake 8.2. A uname -a shows 2.4.18-6mdk i686 I am attempting to install pure-ftpd. I ftp'ed the file into /var/tmp. When I run rpm -i pure-ftpd-1.0.13-1.i686.rpm I receive this message. libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by pure-ftpd-1.0.13-1 wu-ftpd conflicts with pure-ftpd-1.0.13-1 I rm'ed /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd and tried to install pure-ftpd again, but it still says there is a conflict with wu-ftpd. How can I uninstall wu-ftpd ? Also, for the libc.so.6 message, is it just a matter of finding this file, downloading it, and putting it some where on my linux box ? If so, where do I put it ? I have no gui so everything is being performed via command line.

[newbie] problems with glibc install
Hello Mandrake godz, I am attempting to install glibc-2.3.1-21. When I run rpm -i it tells me I need glibc-common 2.3.1-21. I have tried, but to no avail to find an rpm for glibc-common 2.3.1-21. Can anyone point me in the right direction so that I can find and dl this file ?

RE: [newbie] help with pure-ftpd installation
Title: RE: [newbie] help with pure-ftpd installation OK, I have gotten past the glibc conflict. However I am still having probs with the wu-ftpd conflict. I have rm'ed /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd and I have run rpm --rebuilddb and then rebooted just for good measure. I still get the conflict with wu-ftpd when I try to install pure-ftpd. Any other ideas ???

So, update the data base and then try the pure install. HTH Dennis M.
[newbie] help with unistallation of wu-ftpd
Hello all, Me again. I swear I will leave everyone alone if I can just get this freakin ftp server up and running. :) I am running Mandrake 8.2, but do NOT have access to a gui. Everything must be done via command line. I need to remove all aspect of wu-ftpd from this system. I have rm'ed /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd, ran rpm --rebuilddb and rebooted. The system still thinks that wu-ftpd still exists. I am trying to install pure-ftpd and I get the message that is conflicts with wu-ftpd and so the install fails. Does anyone know how I can remove wu-ftpd from my system via the command line ? Also, prior to 8.2 I was able to run the command ntsysv to see a list of programs that would initialize at system boot. That command no longer works. Does anyone know of a command that will perform a similiar function ?

RE: [newbie] interfaces not coming up
Hi Brian, Yes, I also tried setting a Static IP. That does not work either. It really just seems that the Ethernet cards are not properly initializing. I am beginning to wonder if Linux is just not compatible with some of the hardware in the HP Kayak XM600. Also, lol, well I guess that means I can shut down dhcpcd on all of my other systems hehe, thanks for the tip. I thought that dhcpcd was dhcp client daemon.

I have installed Mandrake 7.1 on other systems with these same models of cards and never had a problem. The cards are detected correctly and I set them to use DHCP. The only log entries that I have found that pertain to the problem simply say that eth0, and/or eth1, failed to receive a valid response from a dhcp server. However, I can plug another system into the same interface I am using on my router for the system I am having problems with and I can get a dhcp address no problem. I am at wits end with this system. I have tried Mandrake 7.1 and 8.2. All to no avail. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Also, I have set dhcpcd to run at boot. /pulling hair out now Any ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks, Duke Duke, Well dhcpd is for serving dhcp requests from other nodes, so that isn't going to help here. Have you tried setting a static address for either card to see if at least the interface will come up? If that works, we will know that it's a dhcp specific issue. If it doesn't, we'll know - well - something else ;-) Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Cool, thanks for the reply. I have not heard of Webmin, but I will look into it. Thanks again for the help.

I am about to install 8.2. The machine on which I am going to install this upon will be used Primarily as a server. Because of this my instinct would be to install as little as possible and perform admin functions via command line only. To ease the burden of typing (I type slow) I would like to install 8.2 so that it boots to command line only mode, but if I would like I can easily start the gui whenever the needs arises to perform said admin functions. Of course once I am finished I would like to kill the gui and return to command line only. I am positive that this is possible. My question is this: Lets say I am running command line only in Alt-F1 and do an Alt-F2 and fire up the gui there. Once I logout and return to command line only will that actually get rid of all the processes needed to keep the gui alive. In other words, I do not want to sacrifice server performance just so I can have the usefulness of a gui. So once I exit the gui will there be any background processes that continue to run ? Or, will there be anything left running that would not be there if I had never installed it with a gui in the first place. hah, now I am starting to confuse myself. :) If you start X from the command line (e.g. via a command like startx), you should be fine: once you log out all X-related processes are terminated. An alternative is not to use X at all on the server, but to manage it from another machine using Webmin. This is included in Mandrake, and it allows you to manage the server remotely via a web browser. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan HTML needs a rant tag. -- Eric S.

[newbie] Help with CRON
Hello all, Quick one for you I need help with cron on Mandrake 7.0 I want to schedule a script, using cron, that will run every Saturday at 11:59pm. Now on Solaris I would do it like this 59 23 * * 6 /my/script.sh /dev/null 59 = minute 23 = hour * = day of the month * = month of the year 6 = day of the week However, my search for cron help on Linux brought me here. http://linuxdoc.org/LDP/lame/LAME/linux-admin-made-easy/using-cron.html Here the format is as follows: minute hour day month year command Following this format how do I tell it to happen only on Saturday at 11:59pm. While I'm asking, how about this /etc/cron.daily, hourly, monthly, weekly ? The doc says just to drop your script in one of these directories and it will be run. When ? hourly, I can guess; but daily, monthly weekly. I mean will something in /etc/cron.weekly run the first second of each new week starting on Sunday ?
