Are you saying my question is not appropriate for this list?  This is the
largest knowledgable Unix user base I know of. In my experience, if a
program exists, someone here will know about it, have a beta copy of it, or
know when it is t2o be released. This is typically knowledge that may not be
mentioned on a manufacturer's webpage or whatever resource "post a question
lotus" refers to.

iBCS & Informix Online 5.0

[Azhar H. Chowdhury]

Dear All,

I want to install my Informix Online 5.0 (SCO UNIX Version)
on RH 6.0. I heard that I can do that though iBCS, please
let me how to do that. 

Floppy is the media of Informix (Which one I have), When I run
tar xvf /dev/fd0. It's didn't find any tar file. Do I need to
give any extra parameters to extracted the files from floppy?

Thanks in advance,

Azhar Chowdhury

Have a look at "dia" for a VERY crude UML program.

I have also seen "kuml" (which is written for, you guessed it, KDE). Kuml
appears to be (will be) a far better UML program, but it is in very early
stages; at least when I checked two months ago, it was.

cheers,
Hossein

Using the .Xdefaults entry is better than using the command line option.

Quick Cracked maybe ?

[Greg W]

Hi all

Can anyone identify why or what may give or create this situation/s

logtest on FTP shows 
  Deleted   0 file(s)
  Transfered   1 file(s)
  /sbin/rmt c

What may  /sbin/rmt c be ?   ideas ?  hard to know who transferred it,
(mmm) have rmt but no rmt c  .

what situation will create a.pwd.lock  file in /etc, specifically
when doing what, or issuing what command, and from where  (like in shell or
from a web server etc...)

I have double checked all files like hosts.allow , passwd , shadow ,
inetd.conf , /tmp with no noticeable changes, am wondering if its some y2k
thing, or if its the worst case scenario.


(above is on same box, was only one left on over new years, FTP is wrapped
and limited to only specific ip/service )

some other q's

What will su to xfs under normal operating conditions ? 
 Does anyone get unexplained restarts of sysklogd ?  or is it rock solid
and will only be an attack that will stop it ?


is there any new exploits that are in the beta stage or specific due to y2k
:-)

Can supply heaps more info if needed, off the list...

Add the following to your ~/.Xdefaults file:

! Uncomment the following line to bypass the startup licence page.

! Equivalent to using the '-no-about-splash' startup flag.

Quote off.

I haven't used it, but WordPerfect 8 for Linux has an html editor in it.
WP8 was available a few weeks ago for ~$5.00.  It may be a little higher now,
but what was advertised was the full package, including a 728 page manual.
I have no idea whether the downloadable version has that feature.  Obviously
Corel is cleaning the shelves for the Linux/Unix versions of Office 2000.
That will be great when it comes, since it will probably have a lot of 
glitches and gripes fixed, and it should have the whole suite with it,
including Quattro, Presentations, etc.  I hope they make Corel Draw available,
but it may be prohibitively expensive.  Even Presentations is a usable
graphics
package, but it's certainly not Draw.  --doug

ssh2 is different from ssh1. I'd recommend using ssh1 as 2 isn't really
finished yet for UNIX.

ssh2, from previous experience, doesn' support the traditional .shosts
instead you have certificates. Documentation is scarce too.

RE: DNS Service Request

[Jamie Carl]

Were you enquiring about a service that just hosts a domain name?

If so, then you have to choices..  In both cases you must have the
domain name re-delegated to the DNS service provider.

There is a service out there called dynamic DNS, which means when
a computer logs onto the internet it sends it's current IP (which 
changes) to the server and the domain name then points to that IP.
If that's what u want then look at http://www.dyndns.org or better
still http://www.justlinux.com.

If you are after a service that will actually host your website AND
domain for free (with advertising) or at a small cost (to lose the
ads) then check out http://www.freeservers.com

Hope this helps.

HMMM. Looks like a file /usr/include/asm/errno.h is missing. Normally this
is linked to a file in the kernel source tree.
Have you made any modifications to the kernel source tree? If you have the
kernel source
installed, here's one way to get it back:
cd /usr/src/linux
Now, run through a make config but don't change any options. After that,
do make dep then make clean. This will cause the kernel source to relink

Getting rid of the netscape splash screen [about:]

launch netscape or netscape-communicator with the following switch:

>netscape -no-about-splash

In Gnome, I had to use the menu editor as root (rather than as my
regular user) to add the "-no-about-spash" to the command string.  Not
sure what the procedure would be in KDE, but assume it's much the same
thing.

trying to build an RPM

[Erik]

Hi,

I downloaded a RPM for a GLX driver.  I am trying to rebuild it for my
video card so I can play quake III.  i did an rpm -i and then went to
the spec file. added a few lines for my card (I was instructed to do
this on the loki newsgroup for q3).  I then ran rpm -ba glxspec and
I get errors when it trys to build my rpm.  This is what i get when I
try.  Can anyone help?

Upgrades for a 486

[Doug McGarrett]

In your message to the Redhat list, you wrote:

Quote on:

2) Processor upgrades - I cannot afford to turn this old machine into a new
system with a replacement motherboard and processor.  I can, however,
afford
one of the processor replacement upgrades (e.g. from 486DX2-66 to
P133MMX).
Do such upgrades really work (understanding they won't bring things
completely up to date)?  More importantly, will they work with Linux?

Quote off.

Have you actually compared prices?  Every one of the so-called upgrades seems
to be quite a bit more pricey than a low-end MB and an intermediate or AMD
cpu.  Also, I tried one of the older upgrades from a 486-66 to -130, and the
speed didn't seem to improve much, if at all.  

For example, in January Computer Shopper (p287) you can get a Pentium Socket 7
MB with a K6-2 PR400 for $135.  I don't think you can come anywhere near
that with an "upgrade."  The trick may be to find a MB your old memory will
work in. . . .

Also, in the metro NY area, there are computer shows about once a month some-
where not too far away.  If you live near any major city, that's probably
true where you are.  There are usually better deals at the shows than in CS,
and you can physically check to see if your mem chips will fit.

Good Luck, and Happy New Year to all!  --doug

ssh2 w/o password for root (was rsh for root)

I've done this (well, I'm using ssh2, and I've enabled host-based
authentication according to the man page), and set up a .rhosts file
for root allowing root to connect from the local machine (host2).

Now, at this point, I should be able to secure shell without using a
password, but I'm still getting prompted for one. I'm sure it's
something trivial... Here's the output of ssh -v:

> ssh -v host2

debug: hostname is 'host2'.

Any ideas?

YAY2KP

[Wayne Dyer]

(Yet Another Y2K Problem)

I used to use 'nist' to sync my system's time.  This is NOT the Perl script
of the same name to be found in Freshmeat, it's a compliled executable.  I
don't know where I originally found it, but either *it* or the server it
pulls from by default is not compliant.  It returns the current time, but
it sets the system date to the current day and month, *1910*.

I was experiencing lots of oddness until this was fixed.  Fortunately, the
accompanying call to `hwclock` to force the system date into HW was
failing.  At the time, I assumed this meant either hwclock was goofy or my
system's BIOS was goofy.  This *may* have been the cause of a strange Java
lockup that involved a Java clock that read my system time and may have caused
Gnome's panel to stop coming up.  That's most likely from the system date
being changed so radically in mid-stream, not from odd-date sensitivity.

Fortunately the BIOS is OK and `/sbin/hwclock --hctosys` restored the
proper system date.

I don't know where I got this, I can't find it anymore, but beware.

sniffing at your port 1080

[Ed Schernau]

Very likely people are looking for poorly configured, poorly
administered proxying software.  There are a remarkable number
of WinX products which can do this, and with a few mouse clicks,
magically share an Internet link.  Many, like WinGate, aren't,
or weren't terribly secure.

1080 is for SOCKS (http://www.socks.nec.com/). Don't think there's a
vulnerability there... well, not a documented one at least. Normally, people
use SOCKS to enhance security, as a type of firewall. Been thinking about
implementing that here actually.

I'm not 100% sure that portsentry is a good solution. It seems to react to a
lot of legitimate traffic.

shift-click and save it. Or right-click and choose save as. Both methods

[Richard KHOO]

Is that scsi or ide? (don't know if this is relevant - unfortunately I so
not have scsi) If ide, can your bios autodetect hard disk drives? Shoudld
be unless your motherboard is really old. Anyway, I would go into bios,
run the autodetect facility and re-boot. Also you may want to try
switching on/off a few times. I have a machine which would die if I leave
it off for a few days and I have to do that to encourage the hard disk to
spin up.

Oh? sorry. Its on disc one of the RH 5.2 (original RH) set. There are

Reported Bind Exploits & Other Stuff

[Chuck Mead]

Recently there have been a pile of RH6.x boxen cracked by various, nefarious,
persons. The general concensus appears to be that Bind is the culprit so far as
the exploited weakness goes. I can't say for sure myself as I have not been
cracked though I do have some folks sniffing around port 1080 on my firewall
lately:

socks   1080/tcp# socks proxy server
socks   1080/udp# socks proxy server

Most recent snoop:

I don't know what they're looking for... my guess is some Mickeysoft garbage
which I don't have but I don't know for sure.

In any event I have grabbed and built the latest src.rpm version of bind from
rawhide.  There have been crack reports and discussions on several lists I'm on
where the general concensus is that you need to be at Patch Level 5 with bind
8.2.2 to prevent this from happening.  The rawhide rpm is at patch level 5.  
Anyway, I installed it this morning, have run it all day and it's stable as far
as I can tell so I consider it safe to use in spite of the fact that it comes
from rawhide which is supposed to be fairly bleeding edge.  I have built this
rpm for i586 and i686 and cp'd the i386 rpm's as well as the src.rpm to
server.moongroup.com in /pub/bind-update so you can go get it via anonymous ftp
if you want it!

Keep up with the security releases if you aren't already (updates.redhat.com)!  
It's important to your boxen's security and your ability to sleep peacefully at
night!  Turn off all non-essential services in inetd and do not run
NFS/NIS unless the box it's running on is behind a secure firewall.

Also... If you are not already running portsentry do yourself a favor and go get
it!  It may save your box some day!

RE: Misc hardware questions

[Patrick M. May]

Well, go over to Slashdot.org.  I'm not really sure how well.  Look for the
program DeCSS for a start.  Just to note, the DVD CCA (Copyright Control
Authority) is hauling a bunch, well trying to, of people into court over
that program. A Temporary Restraining Order was denied by a judge in Santa
Clara County, California (San Jose) last week. I'm sure you can get the
source code in any number of ways: floppy, paper, tee-shirts were suggested,
you name it. Check Freshmeat, or Slashdot.  Many people were posting it
there.

Re: lost printer device

[Glen Lee Edwards]

I've been using RedHat since about April, '99.  Since then there have been
2 major upgrades.  I can't afford to experiment, so I've let the
developers and the those who go where those with brains don't go try out
the new releases.  I'm planning on upgrading when 6.2 comes out.

>From a marketing perspective, when one upgrades this frequently, it
doesn't always pay to advertise new release dates.  The stores here have
both 6.1 and Mandrake 6.5 (based on RedHat 6.0) still sitting on the
shelves. Speaking as a former retail manager, I wouldn't appreciate having
a product on the shelf that is outdated within a couple of months after it
first came out, especially if the wholesaler began advertising the next
release about the time the current one finally hit my shelves.  Tends to
defeat sales.

I found that the spec file tries to use the -mtune=%{arch}
 (or similar) for i[56]86 archs. I removed that for i686 and it compiles fine.

H... Not necessarily true.  There isn't enough info to give a good 
answer.  If this is software raid, then probably not.  If this is 
hardware raid then maybe.  

There's two parts to this:

  1) can a device be added to the raid group and the raid group extended
 across it.

 a) for software raid, if you're using LVM (Logical Volume Manager)
then yes you can add a device, if not then no.

 b) for hardware raid, depends on the manufacturer.  My Mylex 
Acceleraid allows additional devices added after the raid group
is built.  Other Manuf. do also. 

  2) is there a way to extend the file system
 
 a) there is a utility called ext2extend (I think that's the name)
thatallows a file system to be expanded or contracted.  Note that
it's beta (alpha?) but seems to work.  See Freshmeat for the current
rev
1.06.  I seem to remember another, but cann't remember the name
right now.

This may not do you any good in this instance, but you might consider some
of the possiblities these present in your future planning.

Stuck on Firewall & Proxy HOWTO

[memoryx]

I've walked through the HOWTO and everything seems fine except it isn't
working.  I'm using RedHat 6.1 for the firewall, ethernet side is
172.16.x.x, internet side is ppp0 and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.  From the firewall I
can ping anywhere I want in or out of the company.  From a Windows 9x pc
using the firewall as the primary gateway I can ping both the intranet and
internet side of the firewall (specifically mentioned that you should not be
able to do in the HOWTO).  I have attempted to turn off filtering through
"echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and toggling the Network Packet
Filtering button under the Control Panel, Network, Routing both on and off.
Then I thought maybe that was just a fluke and attempted to turn on packet
filtering using echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.  Still no luck.

What am I skipping?

DNS Service Request

[Perry Blalock]

Hello,

After 5 years of operation, I am about to shutdown my ISP biz, I just
can't do it alone any longer.

I haven't offered it up for sale to anyone, but if interested drop me a
line at [EMAIL PROTECTED] - I'm closing down the last connection on
28 February 00.

The real purpose of this post is that I still need some DNS service
after I shutdown my own name servers.  I do recall seeing a service on
this mailing list, some time ago, that offers this service.  If you
know of any service that offers DNS, could you please let me know.



  

Best regards,

RE: IRC

If memory serves, the irc command line syntax is:

irc nickname server

So, "irc M1K3 irc.core.com" would connect you to irc.core.com with the

But I haven't done much IRC in a long time, so no promises!

Tried that too.  Sambe basic line.  I'm getting:

portfw: setsockopt failed: Invalid argument

I've compiled the kernel with CONFIG_IP_TRANSPARENT_PROXY=y.  I've also
compiled support for masqerading - which is already working.  I'm

Re: Graphical Web browsing from the console??

[Mark Price]

I can't look right now to get the name, but if all you need is a low-functionality
gui web browser, the kde file manager (the one whose icon is a picture of a file
folder) would probably be good.  You can probably get it to work in just about any
window manager if you have the kde libs installed on your box.

Re: Y2K [vs Award BIOS]

[Carey F. Cox]

Thanks Fred!

I downloaded the software and all appears normal.

The reason the original bios fix wouldn't work for me is because it 
overwrites the mbr, where I have lilo (boot loader). Thus lilo 
would not be available to boot both (either?) OSes. 

Fortunately, the software you suggested works as advertised.

cdrw problem

[matt boex]

just installed my yamaha cd-rw.  everything worked
fine, i burned a data cd no problem.  next time i turn
the machine on, i try to delete a cd and xcdroast says
there is no cd in the tray.  i look in
/var/log/messages and it says the "tray is open or..."
(don't have the exact error but will send).  tray was
closed and cd was in.  

what changed-

the only thing i can think that i did was before i
turned off my machine the first time, the tray would
not open.  i did a eject command, then it opened.  

any ideas?

(will send the whole error when i get home.)

AFAIK, there's no non-destructive way to create a software RAID array.  If
you have several filesystems (like /, /usr, /home, etc.) you could mirror
them in sections by, say, backing up /home, making it a RAID filesystem and
restoring the contents to the newly-created RAID array.  You'll probably
still have to reinstall from scratch in order to mirror / though.

RH 6.1 SCSI woes....

For the stock RH kernel 2.2.12-20 and the lastest rawhide kernel 2.0.13-0.9,
I get a lot of these error messages when accessing my /dev/sdb1 disk
partition:

Someone told me that there is a bug in the Adapted 2940 controller code
which did this.  This is a 9Gig SCSI-2 disk so I think Linux can handle
that.  Anyone have any ideas to remedy this.  If not, I'll just have to use
IDE disks.

Bugzilla is good but I'd think the folks on the rpm list would love to hear

RH 5.2 ---> 6.1 Upgrade (Driver Disk)???

[Lawrence Houston]

Red Hat USERS:

Attempts to upgrade from RH 5.2 to RH 6.1 are failing on the following
system: 

   486-66/VLB/32MEG
   NO IDE HDs, ATAPI CD-ROM [Master on Secondary]
   BusLogic (VLB) BT-445C (2 1GIG SCSI-2 HDs) [0x330,11,none]
   Adaptec (ISA) AHA1542B (2 Tape Drives & ZIP Drive) [0x334,10,6]
   Cirrus Logic 5428 (VLB) Video
   2 NE2000 NICs [0x340,0x300 12,5]

 WIN95A installed in first 40% of SCSI Drive #1
 RH 5.2 uses second 60% of SCSI Drive #1 and all of SCSI Drive #2

First prompt after entering a LDLINUX Command-line asks for a "Driver
Disk" (which to my knowledge NO longer exists for RH 6.X).  Cancelling the
request for a Driver Disk I eventually get into a "loop" between
rebuilding of the RPM Database and "Preparing for Installation" (an
unknown "Task")!  The application of RH 6.1's RPMs never even starts??? 

Any ideas: I have successfully completed several upgrades/installations
   with RH 6.1's "Original" and "Upgrade" BOOT Disks within VMWare
   VMs and upgraded RH 6.0 on a PII-300/128MEG/Dual 7.6G UDMA?

I don't know anything about genscript but this is an issue with the Perl
time functions which seemed until a few days ago (i.e., to those who had
not RTFM)  to return two-digit dates but in fact returns 100 for 200, 101
for 2001, etc.  If it's open source and perl-based, the fix may be easy
enough; just add 1900 instead of doing what it's doing now.

ethernet question

[mike butler]

Just set up a small network at home. Works well. One thing that is curious
is that when I run Xsession on my win95 box (using exceed) I get messages
like this on my RedHat box:
    eth0: tx interrupt but no status
Everything works ok but I'm curious as to what this message might mean.

There are four viable options that I am aware of.

Ice (included with the distro)
BlackBox
Window Maker
XFce

Ice is probably the smallest footprint of the lot.

*sigh*  Unsurprisingly, it says that when I upgraded util-linux, I
didn't upgrade it far enough.  Apparently the times I did previously try ldd
login were on a different machine, to see what the newer version would want.
That was enough to fix login, but then I discovered passwd was still broken,

I found a bug in rpm yesterday that keeps you from building an rpm from
scratch if your spec file has a ChangeLog entry in it that from any time

NOT ipfwadm but ipmasqadm

I am running 2.2.13 : works great with it. 

Don't look too much for docs in the package : there isn't that much and that is why I 
appended the command line below.

This adds a port forwarding: 

/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 24.92.01.01 80 -R 192.168.0.1 80

This will remove it :

/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -d -P tcp -L 24.92.01.01 80 -R 192.168.0.1 80

My son's old 486 (DX4-100) exhibits the 2094 date also. Is yours
perhaps one of the cheap PC-CHIPS motherboards like his?

There's a package that supposedly fixes tht problem, and it is available
for both Windoze and Linux. I've "fixed" my son's system by using the
Windoze version, though I've not yet needed the Linux version. It's named
y2kwa22, and the Linux version is available as: Linux_Y2KWA22.zip.

Don't have the URL right in front of me, but if you visit freshmeat and
search there for y2kwa22 you'll find it (that's where I found it).

Re: [UPDATE] i686 Redhat compilation

[Svante Signell]

Good decision,

I have recently compiled half of the Rawhide-19991229 distribution
with gcc-2.95.2-3, running kernel-2.2.13-0.9 and using glibc-2.1.2-17
without problems. Please also forward the most recent .src.rpm
packages to RawHide.

Note: 
- glibc still does not compile for i686: Complains on linux kernel
headerfiles. (It does with the Mandrake development distribution)
- util-linux omits several important binaries when compiled for i686, eg login. 
- Anyone interested in the log (i386/i686/root/noroot) of compiling
RawHide from sources?

Re: RAID for existing drive?

AFAIK, there's no non-destructive way to create a software RAID array.  If
you have several filesystems (like /, /usr, /home, etc.) you could mirror
them in sections by, say, backing up /home, making it a RAID filesystem and
restoring the contents to the newly-created RAID array.  You'll probably
still have to reinstall from scratch in order to mirror / though.

ok, it's time for boot disks 101.  there is obviously some confusion
between a "boot disk" and a "rescue disk".

if you want, you can build a *bootable* boot disk using the "mkbootdisk"
command.  this would represent the first stage in emergency procedures.

the rescue disk (the kind you can build from the now-obsolete
rescue.img image from 6.0) is *not* bootable.  it is, in fact,
a compressed ext2-type root filesystem that can then be loaded
into RAM so that you can run a minimal linux system without
using the hard drive.  this rescue image does in fact come loaded
with all of the /dev entries you need to access the hard drive.
the boot disk lets you load a kernel and boot only to the point
where you now need a root filesystem, and that's what the second
(rescue) disk provides.

i can provide more detail if you want.

The fact that it is automatic is the advantage.  Suppose you have emacs 19
and 20 installed.  dpkg *AUTOMATICALLY*  creates a diversion for emacs19,
so it doesn't get obliterated by the emacs20 package.  RPM would just refuse
to install emacs 20, saying it conflicts with emacs 19, or would force you
to upgrade, not permitting both versions to be present at the same time.

That's what it has to do with package management.  And no, /etc/alternatives
does not appear anywhere in the $PATH var.

/usr/bin/emacs -> /etc/alternatives/emacs
/etc/alternatives/emacs -> /usr/bin/emacs20
(as an example)

/etc should always be a locally mounted fs, so this works.

And no, nobody stops you from doing this on any other unix machine.  You
just get to manage the whole thing manually.

When you manage 1 or 2 machines, it's not a big deal, but when you manage
50 or 100, anything that automates any task saves you that few minutes,
times 50 or 100 machines.

3 Y2K problems...

[Michael H. Warfield]

Hey All!

Adding to the discussions of what did and did not fail the Y2K
rollover.  I've encountered 3 Y2K glitches.  At least one is a package
with RedHat.

Mutt has a Y2K bug in dealing with messages containing a 2 digit
year.  If the date in a message says something like "Jan 1, 00" Mutt is
going to see it as "Feb 7, 2036".  If the date says "Jan 1, 2000" then
you are not broken.  Mutt 1.0pre3 is on the RedHat CD's.  It still exists
in Mutt 1.0 release.  There is a fix in the Mutt CVS that was posted on
Jan 2.  

For those of you using CBB (CheckBook Balancer) there were a couple
of last minute glitches and it may still old registers with two digit
years and show the current year as "100".  CBB is in some RedHat contrib
repositories.  Fix for the problems are in the CBB sources repository.


Printing with "genscript" reports the year as "100" in the fancy
"-G" headers.  Not sure if it's a genscript problem, a ghostscript problem,
or a problem with a postscript printer.  I suspect genscript.  Don't know
if "enscript" on the RedHat CD's is similarly affected.  If not, time to
change.  :-)

RE: RH5.2 won't boot now

[Ward William E PHDN]

Steve,

Try setting you clock in your BIOS back to 1990, same date and time.
See if it boots.  If it does, then everything is ok, adjust the time
in your startup script, and have it reset the date to 1990 on exit
everytime.  You will get some ... odd ... error messages about a file
with a date modification in the future, but as long as it's not
externally connectable, you shouldn't have too much problem.

Subject: RH5.2 won't boot now


Howdy:

I guess I should have been more zealous about it, but it looks like my
oldest motherboard (running RH5.2 in my ip-masq gateway) is not y2k
compliant.  I can boot it up in single-user mode (runlevel 1) or from a
DOS floppy, but it won't boot in runlevel 3.  It gets all the way up to
the "starting runlevel 3" part and then dies.

The board is a FuguTech i430FX chipset board, Award BIOS 4.50g, Pentium
100, UMC I/O chip.  I tried three different versions of the Award flash
util (5.0, 5.33, 6.25) but it doesn't recognize the flash chip and
dies.  I found the MrBIOS flash util 29C010.EXE, but it's not the right
one.  Anybody know where I can get the other one? (28F010.EXE).  Anybody
know which one is for what chips?  I'm pretty damn sure it's a flashable
BIOS, so I'm lost.

Anybody have any other tips for me please?

Thanks in advance, Steve
