Re: [newbie] CC
tell me if i get this right, did you download the source of the gcc3.0.3? if that is the case then it wont work for you because you may have been trying to compile the compiler. if i understand correctly, you are like a dog chasing its tail because you dont have the compiler (its the problem in the first place) ;-) try to get the binary version or install the gcc from the installation CDs. or did i get my wires crossed somewhere? *grin* ciao!

Similarly, no other systems are welcome on the firewall--it must be dedicated to that purpose. doesnt the SNF page (i think it was in mandrakesecure) tell that you can do proxy servers, internet sharing, (i think there also was something about web serving) and all that? would you recommend that i download the 7.x distribution and do it from there? 2.2 was used because we had a reliable 2.2 kernel-secure at production time. Currently a stateful firewall version is in the makings using kernel 2.4 and iptables. 48M might be a performance hit, but it should work. If you are sharing a modem or a 128K DSL, you are unlikely to notice the hit. And don't laugh--I had 15 nodes at a busy government office sharing a 56K modem and it worked. thanks. Cabling? Get a switch if at all possible. attach all computers to the switch using cat5 ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors--do not use the uplink plug. If you have a hub, you can use that in place of a switch. Your internet connection is placed separately, from the internet connection of the firewall. im planing to get a 4-port hub. ill have to do a little more searching on that uplink plug thing, its more of a black arts to me right now. ;-) Addressing? Local IP addresses are important--unless you have a fair size of system, just keep them static thanks, im scared of DNS right now because setting up a network right now is pretty daunting to me. Addresses can be 192.168.xxx.something where the xxx is the same for all computers and between 0 and 255 and the something is different for each computer or 172.16-31.something1.something2 with a netmask of 255.255.0.0 and the 16-31 choice should be the same for all computers or 10.anything.anything.anything with netmask 255.0.0.0 The firewall is set up with some IP address and all other nodes have that IP as their default gateway. i read somewhere that the 192.168 (the netmask here should be 255.255.0.0 , right?) chain was reserved for home networks. ill just use that since i have no info on the 172 and 10 chains. Am i right in thinking that the firewall would have 2 lan cards, one for the outside connection and the other for sharing the connection thru the hub? im going to test it using dial-up (im still applying for the DSL connection), so that would probably mean that 1 lan card will suffice now since the modem will act as the outside interface. is my logic still sound? All computers should have the same DNS addresses, and the best settings are the DNS IP addresses given by your ISP. if the dial-up ISP has automatic DNS (i dont put any when connecting in my standalone box), then i can skip this part? i reckon i will have to do this _when_ i get DSL.

[newbie] problems in changing root password -update

You're seeing the eight-character password limit for systems that don't use MD5 password hashing. Try the password 'blacks00' even. My guess is it will still work. To get around it, convert your passwords to use MD5 hashing instead of the old DES hashing.

Re: [newbie] not enough space on tmp?
hi, be glad to contribute something ;-). if you look at the mandrake control center-boot-boot config-Advanced , there is a checkbox (sticky push button box? ;-) that should clean tmp at each boot but for some reason it doesnt work here. it is not recomended to just delete the locks in tmp as the program using it may still be active. if you want to do some cleaning just dont delete the hidden locks as a rule of thumb (i hope you are doing this while out of X since it depends on the .X0lock file to gain exclusive use of the display :0 or something like that). one interesting point that i read in ibm.com was the use of tmpfs as your /tmp. tmpfs is like a normal filesystem but instead of in the disks, the files are stored in memory (physical and swap). One drawback is that if you dont specify the maximum size of the tmpfs you may find yourself running out of memory and your system will resort to killing the biggest hog which usually is X. The good thing is that your tmp is really cleaned upon shutdown as all the files in tmp is on volatile memory. if you issue a mount command you will find that you already have a tmpfs on your system (i think this was only applicable to 2.2.x and above kernels) and it is mounted on /dev/shm. if anybody want to read the whole article, go to the MUO board and search the tips and tricks section for something like ibm.com or filesystem. if you can free some more space (from windows maybe? ;-) then do so with partition magic (or whatever tool you have), create a linux partition (choose what type) ang mount it on /tmp. sorry but that is the simplest route that i can think of but maybe somebody here can suggest a better idea. ciao!

Re: [newbie] not enough space on tmp? / archives for this list?
hi, i also met this during the installation of staroffice. tmp is usually mounted in the / partition. in my case i just gave / about 100MB and it was getting used up (the clean tmp at boot option doesnt seem to work). one work-around is to create another temporary tmp folder for your user (in your home directory if it has the space to spare) and set the TMP environment variable to point to that location so every program that the user does is placed there. when the opportunity arises (when you need to reinstall), add more space to your root partition or create a tmp partition suitable enough for big installations (a little bit overkill because the work-around provided above is more efficient since not all installations use up the tmp space.)

hi, i have downloaded komba2-0.72-1.mdk.i586.rpm ( i forgot if this is from the cooker or from the stable branch). using rpm -iv --test i showed that it needs libpng.so.3. a quick search in rpmdrake failed to yield a package containing this so file. i did a search in rpmfind.net and got the libpng3-1.2.0-3mdk.i586.rpm package which i have installed together with komba2 without any problems. the problem is that komba2 keeps on spewing up this message upon start-up libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.0 libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.12 libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.0 libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.12 libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.0 libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.12 libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.0 snip and a bunch more. the application runs but whenever i use it to mount a share i get a segmentation fault. i think it is safe to deduce that the problem is in the libpng that i installed. the question is where do i get a compatible libpng.so.3? i currently have my internet connection cut-off (only allowed during lunchbreaks 8-( ) so i have to rely on you guys. thanks! -- Programming, an artform that fights back. === Anuerin G.

Re: [newbie] very very very basic question about ls
hi navin, from what i gather this is what you want to do: you have a directory like this a-b -c-b -c-d -c-d-b and you want to change the permissions of all instances of b (sort of they fill a certain naming requirement, right?). if this is the case then you can use a recursive script that i got. it goees something like #!/bin/bash #note that this script is stored as $HOME/bin/recscript # $1 is the target directory cd $1 chmod +x b # or whatever files in there for entry in `ls` do if [ -L $entry ] then #this is a linkfile so I dont follow elif [ -d $entry ] then $HOME/bin/recscript $entry else # regular file. do whatever you want. you can even put # the chmod here if it would be cumbersome above fi done #end script ok so it may be a little brutish but it gets the job done (like removing core files, *.class files before archiving, and that sort). feel free to use it as you please. ciao!

hi, refer to my previous answer. there exists a xinetd executable in the /usr/sbin which is in the root PATH. you should execute the script located at /etc/rc.d/init.d / which is not in the PATH variable. if you enter xinetd restart then you are referring to the one in sbin. either you enter the fullpath of the xinetd script located at the init.d directory or just go there and do ./xinetd restart. ciao!

I am running LM 8.1 and issued the command as root in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ driectory. typing xinetd by itself gets no response. And I believe that xinetd is the default - for without it, ftp and other services cannot run... man xinetd shows that sending the signal SIGUSR2 will cause a hard reconfiguration... but how do you do that. I tried kill -SIGUSR2 xinetd but it does not work. pls advise. thank you. -- Programming, an artform that fights back. === Anuerin G. Diaz Design Engineer 25/F Equitable-PCI Tower ADB Ave. cor.

Re: [newbie] Ftp server
i dont think one is installed by default. you have to manually select the rpms from the installation discs. proftd and wuftd are great (im using proftd). i think the ftp services are boot-enabled once installed but I may be wrong so double check using Mandrake Control Center-Services.

[newbie] Re: Solaris issue
hi, no apology should be necessary as this is a 'community-help' site. its just that majority of subscribers here are using Mandrake and only a few have knowledge about Solaris/Unix Administration. you would generally find better and quicker response through other lists (maybe unix administration-oriented ones) or searching at deja.com or at any search engine. a colleague here suggested looking at /etc/defaultdomain sorry if i cant help you more. ciao!

Re: [newbie] netscape 6.2

It says to go to the directory it is installed in and run the program from the command line. Running LM Find Files and Gnome Search Tool under root do not seem to find the new netscape program. I see an install log, but nothing in it about Netscape 6.2 I can find. Questions: 1)how do I find where something installed to? either do a find /usr -name netscape to find the directory that netscape installed to but usually the executables are either placed in /bin or in /usr/local/bin. a faster way if the executable has execute permissions is to issue the command which netscape. if it returns the location of the executable then you can try executing netscape in a command line. fyi, the ampersand means that the application will run in the background and therefore free the console/terminal for other uses. 2)is there a way to install something like Netscape 6.2 under the LM Software Manager, so I can simply check it off and let LM8.1 do everything itself? unless you have a netscape rpm file that is compatible with rpmdrake. if you are using the latest version then its probably in a tarball. you can install this manually (make;make install from the unpacked directory) or you can try the checkinstall application (search for it in freshmeat.net) to have an idea what file went where. snip ciao! -- Programming, an artform that fights back. === Anuerin G.
