named, linuxconf, .sh scripts
I'm having 4 continuing problems with my RH6.1 install. 1. named does not automatically execute on reboot. I have to do this manually /usr/sbin/named not a big deal and I could tie this into a script but isn't this supposed to start automatically under RH6.1? 2. I can't access my pop3 servers.

My system went into weird mode and I ultimately lost my mail spool file, containing over a thousand messages. It might still be in /tmp. I deleted it so Elm would restart, not knowing what the system was screwed and the spool file got erased. One of the e-mail messages was about a program to restore erased files. I think I'm screwed but I need to try. Please post info on the program and where to get it. And no, it isn't on tape, because the damn 8mm tape drive has failed. Thanks.

Re: configuring PHP on a RH 5.2 machine
Yes, I've done that but I'd like to have it load directly in Netscape. This shouldn't be this difficult :-) and I'd like to learn something in the process about Apache/PHP configuration - I just can't find anything that explains the setup. Also, if I'm going to use PHP at work, I think I'll have to use it as a CGI program since they use SWS, not Apache. I really have spent time looking at the PHP site, their mailing list archives, and the Apache web site, but can't find anything that tells me what I need to know.

Re: Group Email
while putting my daughter to bed, I realized that I'm sure to get a half
dozen people telling me that there are still cases that this will fail
for. Of course, the only proper way is to compare the group to the third
field in the passwd file. That's when I realized you said userid, not
username, so this won't help. sorry.
This is where I switch to perl :)

configuring PHP on a RH 5.2 machine
I wanted to try learning PHP so I downloaded both the latest version 3 release and the 4.0Beta3 release and tried installing them using the standard: ./configure --enable-discard-path;make;make install I've got a php.shtml file that contains: where first.php is a very simple php file form the tutorial that works fine when I run it from the command line. But when I try to load the page php.shtml file in Netscape, all I get is: /home/dreed/HTML Content-Type: text/html No input file specified. So it looks like (to me) I've got Apache configured to work with exec cmd, but I must have something wrong with the php call or configuration. Can anyone tell me what I need to do or point me to specific documentation? All the documentation I can find assumes you have PHP installed an Apache module. I understand the performance reasons for making it a module, but for now I just want to experiment with it. Thanks, Dave -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

Just another guess, but maybe the periodic output from top over your telnet connection is keeping the connection open. Whatever is timing out the telnet session would be looking at activity, and if top's output satisfies the activity criteria, it would keep the connection open. To test this theory, try running netstat -ct That will cause netstat to update each second and also only output the tcp info for a much shorter display. See if that also keeps telnet alive.

Re: Group Email
Ok, I made little modification because if you were looking for a group id,
say 10, and a person's group id was 100 it would include them (I just added
the -w option after the first grep). Now, how can I make it so it doesn't
include a user who's userid is the same as the groupid I am looking for ?
Here is the code I have now:
#!/bin/sh
TMP=`mktemp /tmp/group.XX`
grep -w `grep "^${1}:" /etc/group | cut -d: -f3` /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1
> $TMP

No. Login to the laptop, then telnet/rlogin/ssh to the other machine. You can have as many connections, etc., as you wish. They will be running from the remote machine, but displaying on the local machine. You may need to run some extra programs somewhat differently (for example, you may need to start programs from the command line vice via a Gnome button), but otherwise everything would be the same. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2000 6:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Starting an Xsession on remote computer On 14 Jan, Ward William E PHDN wrote: > I really don't understand what you are trying to do.

Re: cannot remote print
I found printing problems frustrating too, especially the error messages from lpd. The folks here on the list helped but ultimately I read everything I could find and tried different things. You could find a Linux consultant to pay, I think there are paid help desks too. And network printing may be more the forte of people in comp.os.linux.admin.network. My problem with remote printing turned out to be DNS related, I believe. When I put IP addresses into hosts.lpd, everything worked. Since everything worked under 5.2 but not now, I assume it is something to do with 6.x. The only issue I'm aware of is problems finding the printer. But you say that ripley can print fine. So that's not it. lpd messages would be in /var/log/messages but you could grep for lpd in the log directory. Here's a long shot: Did you click 'restart lpd' in the printtool? As long as we're grasping at straws, you might try rebooting the computers if that's convenient. Are the print files created in the spool directory? If you diff the old and new printcap, are they the same or what's changed? -Alan --- Alan D.

Re: [OT] All secure server's are broke?
It's largely bunk anyway. The "find the private keys" bit means that encrytion keys are known to have higher entropy than any other type of data, so it is possible to identify "suspicious" data segments either in core memory or in a file system in a disk. The act of doing this is easily detectable in that some weird process will be consuming huge amounts of CPU time and/or disk I/O as it tried to determine likly data segments with suitably high entropy. The real question is whether this technique is practical, not whether it's possible. Possible, yes, practical, NO.

Re: cannot remote print
Hi, Steve and Alan, I tried logging out and starting the X session as root, deleting the current printers and reconfiguring with printtool, on both the server machine and the other two machines. It still doesn't work. All three machines have the same user accounts with the same user ids. But I'm not running nis. I wasn't when remote printing was working under 5.2. Which log files should I check? I don't see any strange messages in /var/log/messages. I've been trying to figure out this problem for weeks now. What do people usually do when they need serious Linux support? Red Hat tech support is no use here.

partitioning with diskdruid: not enough space
Hi !!! Just got a nice big harddrive (20GB) and installed on the first 10 GB a win98 system with eleven partitions (i like driveletters so much), one primary and ten as logical drives in an extended partition. Now i want to put Linux on the space left, i am using Halloween IV, a german distro basing on RedHat 6.1. The installing process uses diskdruid to create linux partitions, i have no problem to create a swap partition (120 MB), but i can't add any other partition properly, i always receive the error message 'allocation error, not enough space to create partition'. But there is defenitely enough space. My first thought was that there is a limitation to the number of partitions on a drive, but even decreasing the number of the windows partitions didn't help. What am i doing wrong ? I know that i had the same problem back then when i installed RedHat 5.2 on my second puter, figured out somehow but forgot again. What does this error message mean ? Is fdisk as picky (i could hook the drive to my other system then) ? -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

What should go in the "user name" and "registration" fields of my installation? I've tried various combinations of my registration username, my e-mail address, and the product id number.

Um, this is standard Top behavior (no joke, every Unix box I've ever used!). It's compiling information, so what you are seeing is incomplete the first few seconds. If you lower your top threshold time down to the lowest number, you'll see it begins updating faster, so it's not missing that 99% as long... As for your REAL problem, I have no idea.

cannot remote print
Hi,
This is a problem that's driving me crazy. I have a network of three
Linux machines. When I was running Red Hat 5.2, I could print over this
network. Since upgrading to 6.0, I cannot print over the network. I
just upgraded to 6.1, and the problem persists. The three machines are
ripley, weaver, and jonesy. ripley has the printer. I can print fine
on ripley. I configured the printer on all three machines using
printtool. Here's ripley's /etc/printcap:

Not bad, but not robust either. It breaks easily. How about the
following:
#!/bin/sh
TMP=`mktemp /tmp/group.XX`
grep `grep "^${1}:" /etc/group | cut -d: -f3` /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1
> $TMP
grep "^${1}:" /etc/group | cut -d: -f4 | sed 's/,/\
/g' >> $TMP
cat $TMP | uniq
rm -f $TMP
This way, you also get those users who's default group isn't the one you
requested, but are a member of all the same.

But I will rebuild the kernel if that's what it takes. /dev/random is generated from mouse events, disk IO, keyboard activity etc. This is intended to create "more random" numbers. The behaviour of /dev/random is to wait for new events before delivering. That is why there is the alternative, /dev/urandom. When /dev/urandom runs out of events, it defaults to pseudo-random numbers, and so will never hang.

Re: two NICs cause a problem
<-begin quote-> The next problem involves trying to add a second card (a netgear card, forget the name but it uses the tulip driver). I wanted to add the second FA-310TX ? card so I could connect my laptop to my desktop system sometimes to permit both internet access to my laptop at home and for the exchange of files between my desktop and laptop (now running RH6.0 until I can upgrade to 6.1). With the 3com driver compiled into the kernel and the tulip used as a module for eth1, it doesn't work. As soon as I add the netgear, my 3com wont work. Trying to activate the 3com on eth0 results in the same situation as trying to use the 3com driver as a module - initialization fails. Letting kudzu detect and setup the netgear also results in an entry being made to conf.modules in which both eth0 and eth1 is aliased to tulip. <-end quote-> Try spec'ing the cards in lilo, ie "ether=10,0x6000,eth0 5,0x4000,eth1" to preserve the correct sequence.

In the NIS Howto there is included at the end a C program to test the getpwnam function, and this produces a segmentataion fault unless one comments out the lines which retreive the uid and gid information, although this is true for local users (who can log in) as well. Retreiving name, password, gecos, directory, and shell stuff all works fine, though the passwork field is always an x, even if I'm not using shadow passwords.

RE: Fwd: RE: Re: IPNAT
First off, there's no such thing as an invalid IP ;) However, if you're referring to IP ranges which are designated at private IPs (i.e, 10.*, 192.168.* and 172.16/12), there are a couple things: ipfwadm (I believe) and ipvs (which I use). Both, AFAIK require a kernel patch, but will allow you to redirect traffic from an Internet address to an internal (private or not) address. You then add ipchain's MASQ to the ipvsadm configuration and blammo - your private IPs can be accessed and routed back to the Internet. yukon On 13-Jan-2000 Michael Gatti wrote: > Hi Everyone > > Thanx for the reply but what I'm looking for is a software that does > Network Address Translations, my ISP gave me 4 IP addresses and I > configured a linux server to run as a firewall leting all computers > of my internal network access the internet through Ipchains, but what > I want is that when a user from the internet request one of the IP's > my ISP gave me my Linux server running NAT translates that valid IP > address to one of my servers with a non-valid address and forwards > all incomming request to that valid IP to him, as if he had the valid > IP address himself.

RE: SW RAID Q:
At least as of raidtools-0.90... The problem stems from how the raidtools determines which drives to use for the RAID plex (I won't go technical here). But, basically if you get in a situation in which your drive configuration changes (i.e., add or remove a drive), the raid detection attempts to determine how the drive IDs of the disks have changed. In my experience, this sometimes is wrong and RAID plexes will not come up completely and will be downgraded. This can be a particular pain with 90GB plexes which take several hours to resync. Things which help: if a drive fails, always replace a bad disk with the same ID and always keeps your drives sequential (i.e., SCSI ID 0,1,2,3). Another things to do it to upgrade your raidtab file with new IDs if drives get rearranged and rewrite the superblocks (this cannot be done with the off-the-shelf raidtools).

I've got a serial board (Byterunner, 2 ports, 16c550 uart chips) which has jumpers to double or quaduple the clock rate so that the speeds you choose will be multiplied by either two or four. I've got a modem that claims to work at 230400. But when i set the board to double speed last night could not get reliable communications with the modem. If anyone has knowledge of how to do this I'd appreciate pointers. Thanx!

I downloaded it yesterday and played a bit - looks promising. The only drawback I can see so far: You sure need a lot of patience to run its setup program on a 386... :-} Cheers, Thomas -- "Look, Ma, no obsolete quotes and plain text only!"
