Subject: [newbie] Ip_chains, where?


 Hi. I'm attempting to setup PMfirewall. The first thing that goes wrong
 is it asks where ip_chains is. Its supposed to be in /sbin, but its not.
 I did check /proc, and ip_fwchains is there... so, any ideas?
 
 Thanks!

Re: [newbie] Telnet Ftp daemons

2000-07-13 Thread Sam Hunter

Make sure that telnetd and ftpd are installed.  You can do this by
putting the Mandrake cd in the drive, mounting it (mount /mnt/cdrom), going
into the RPMS dir (cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS), then trying to install the
rpm.  I can't remember what it's called right off hand, but try typing
rpm -i telnetab and tab autocompletion will probably find it for you.
The other thing to do is check your /etc/inetd.conf file.  There should
be two lines in them that start ftp and telnet, they will look something
like
#
telnetd -a lot of stuff
ftpd  -a lot of stuff
#
if there is a # in front of them (#telnetd) then they are commented out so
they won't run.  Remove the #, save the file, and type killall -HUP inetd
this should restart inetd and reload telnet and ftp servers if they are
installed.

Hi all !. I have the Linux-Mandrake 6.5, and I have a very special problem.
My daemons of Telnet and Ftp don't operate for default,  like do I make in
order to lift them

Thank you!!!




[newbie] Checking 386/387 coupling --failed

2000-07-01 Thread Sam Hunter



 I just built a new machine, using a 
celeron 566 processor. As you probably know this uses the coppermine core, 
and new p3 instruction set (it is basically a p3 with less cache). When I 
try to boot Mandrake on this computer I get a 
Checking 386/387 coupling (3) failed trying to 
reset
387 failed: trying to reset
over and over and over
If I remove the 566, and put in a celeron 300a the system 
boots fine, Mandrake installs without a hitch and all is good.
I've tried upgrading my kernel to 2.2.16, and then 
plugging in the celeron 566 with similar results. I've seen screen 
captures on numerous sites (while searching for an answer to this question) 
where people have booted with a p3. How do they do this??? Is there 
some special kernel switch or something I have to implement?

thanks for the help
