Gil Gil, you should provide more details in your message for us to be helpful! A cut and paste of the output of shell commands, in particular, could help understand what's going on on your machine. Does ping 127.0.0.1 work? You should see something like 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1:... repeated on the screen until you press CTRL-C. Understand that telnet is composed by a client (invoked as # telnet) and a server (named telnetd, note the final 'd'). Normally the server is _not_ installed by default. On MDK9.0 the server package is named telnet-server-krb5-1.2.5-1mdk To make sure the server is installed, type # urpmi telnet-server-krb5 You should get a message like everything already installed. I installed the telnet server on my MDK to check. First of all, it's a xinetd service, so it will not normally be shown by ps (I was wrong on this regard in my previous message). xinetd is a daemon that monitors the incoming calls on all ports and starts the registered services on request. So, try this: # service xinetd start Do you get an OK? To double check, type # ps -ax | grep xinetd you should see two lines. Then, go to /etc/xinetd.d and do an ls. Do you see there a file named telnet? This is the telnet server configuration file read by xinetd daemon when it detects an incoming request on the telnet port. Open it with a text editor and check that it contains the line disable = no (it means that the telnet server is enabled). Finally, open /etc/xinetd.conf and check that it _does_not_ contain any only_from lines. If it does, delete them. There's not much more to telnetd configuration. good luck, raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 25 February 2003 09:36, Raffaele Belardi wrote: Raffaele it seems that i can't start telnet service when i do service telnet start i get ok but in mcc the status is stop hosts.allow and hosts.deney are empty.

Others can supply the info and links, but I will give you one... http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt2214_54.html#2 Basically WD disks are bad juju for linux. The real problem here may be one of mathematics, though. WD has this penchant for producing single-platter disks with one rack of heads each side (weigh it on a scale against competitive products and you will find the WD disk lighter) This means that the track number may be overflowing what Kdiskfree has available for track numbers with a resulting problem in viewing the disk. At one time the linux kernel would carve up big WD drives differently than the BIOS would with results that were just fantastic, but no other drives had ANY problems. This was true in Mandrake 7.1 and 7.2 for certain, but was corrected in kernel 2.2.19. Now, stop trusting kdf and let's see what dmesg says. Post the results and we'll see what the kernel says about free space. If there is still a problem, most likely the kernel's math will have to be adjusted for the most recent WD cheapness shortcut and another item will have to be added to the kernel's internal blacklist of cantankerous drives requiring special handling.

Others can supply the info and links, but I will give you one... http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt2214_54.html#2 Basically WD disks are bad juju for linux. The real problem here may be one of mathematics, though. WD has this penchant for producing single-platter disks with one rack of heads each side (weigh it on a scale against competitive products and you will find the WD disk lighter) This means that the track number may be overflowing what Kdiskfree has available for track numbers with a resulting problem in viewing the disk. At one time the linux kernel would carve up big WD drives differently than the BIOS would with results that were just fantastic, but no other drives had ANY problems. This was true in Mandrake 7.1 and 7.2 for certain, but was corrected in kernel 2.2.19. Now, stop trusting kdf and let's see what dmesg says. Post the results and we'll see what the kernel says about free space. If there is still a problem, most likely the kernel's math will have to be adjusted for the most recent WD cheapness shortcut and another item will have to be added to the kernel's internal blacklist of cantankerous drives requiring special handling.

Thanks Gil Audio cds are not browsed. You need to open a cdplayer. XMMS is very good, though some people need help changing a plugin to make it work on their system. Try it. If it doesn't play your cds, go to Derek's linux page www.jennings.homelinux.net and read the section there. One warning, though, the article implies that it only is needed if you have no audio cable attached. This is not so. For some of us the cable may be there and still need this fix.

A possible reason: ppp will not connect if you have default gateway already set when ppp is asked to connect. And you probably have default gateway already set.

It's a pain in the keister to have to remember to change the address when one only wants to reply to the post _on the mailing list_ in order to try to help. Most of what I've learned regarding the uses of ISOs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs etc in GNU/Linux came from the page at the link below or is linked from there. It's a good place to start. http://www.cpqlinux.com/cdrw.html Eroaster is a front end for cdrecord. It only reads IDE devices that are 'SCSI emulated' and you'll need to add IDE-SCSI to append the stanza in: /etc/lilo.conf that shows your CD-ROM. eg.: hdx=ide-scsi where 'x' is the a, b, c, etc of the drive. All of the editing you want to do there has to be done as super user (su) or root. In your case you should add hdc=ide-scsi for your cd-rom to the append lines. This will sometimes cause it's own troubles too. Once you add the phrase to the append line that's there open a terminal and as su (root) type: sbin/lilo -v then at the new prompt: reboot -n. You should be able to have eroaster recognise the cdrom as a read device after that reboot. Hopefully. If I've made any errors I'm sure one of our list-mates will correct me. Or just find (in any mirror's contrib directory) k3b and install and use that instead for copying disk to disk. This is a link to one place you can find it: ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/9.0/contrib/RPMS and you can use the KDE package manager to install it so it'll appear on the menus. I'm absolutely _not_ certain if any of the above will do you any good since it's not the method I use. If I need to copy a disk I just copy it to a hard drive (any of the 4) and burn the copy from there. Small relatives are bad news on any CDs that aren't backed up; even though they never seem to touch the ones that have been copied and can't get at the originals. When I hear Shiny Frisbee!!!
