X log in behavior/sawmill/rpm -Va
Evening. When I log into my user account, sometimes, X will blink, barf and throw me back into the X login screen. The log in works the second time. I am using sawmill in my user account. I had tried deleting session info for sawmill which seemed to work but now I'm not sure. The problem, for the moment, seems to occur with sawmill...I think.

6.2 problems
Hi all, I just installed 6.2 on a machine and have found a few minor problems to fix. 1.The first is networking when the machine boots and I log on and run ifconfig eth0 doesn't showup. However if I just look at the basic host info in linuxconf and then type ifconfig eth0 shows up and I can telnet and ftp on my intranet. I checked ntsysv and it shows that network should start automatically. In my log I found this message which may be the source of the problem ismod:Note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent than /lib/module/2.2.14-5.0/modules.dep If found the card and setup the addresses with the install but I used linuxconf to set the machine name so this may have caused the problem. 2. I would like lilo to default to dos as this machine is used mostly for scanning and printing photos I also use it to practice linux to linux and linux to windows networking stuff before I do them at work I tried changeing lilo.conf default=dos but it still booted linux. Smart machine. (I will be thrilled when corel Draw and my scanner work with linux so I can scrap windoze but for now...) 3. In xfce I get a huge square for a cursor. I tried to add Option "sw_cursor" to the configuration file but I either have the wrong syntax, the wrong place, or the wrong file as it doesn't help.

Java SUCKS!!
Has anyone else had this kind of problem? If I spend more than a few minutes on a site with Netscape that is java enabled or select more than a few java supported actions then java seems to go into an "endless loop mode" accessing the hard drive and tying up the cpu to the extent that virtually nothing else can be done. If the mouse cursor is in the upper left corner and I try to move it to the bottom right corner to change virtual desktops to use the kill command in a bash window, it can take over a half an hour because the cursor only moves about a half inch every 90 seconds or so! Quiting Netscape is the only way to get it to stop short of hitting the reset button. I have installed RH 6.2 from CD and selected everything I wanted and didn't need to reconfigure/compile the kernel. Even the display setup for X was correct. Netscape works fine until accessing a java enabled site. I've spent hours reading the faq's and tips at netscape.com/support/ and have tried several fixes/tips with no joy. :-( Can anyone help with this java malady? My poor hard drive can't take much more. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

How can I delete any and all 'core' files on my system without user

I've seen a script on certain Sparcs at work, it was done with 'awk' or
'grep - or both.. I just can't remember.
Do I start with 'find / -name core' or perhaps 'ls -R core' from the root
and then pipe this to 'grep' or 'awk' and format it as a command to delete
everything found.
Hope you catch my drift... I don't want those huge core files piling up on
my system as I play around with it crashing one program after another. So a
cron job once a day (night, actually) would do the job!

Re: Installation CD with Updated RPMS
Thanks! That helped. I also found this HOWTO very helpful (in case someone else is interested): http://imsb.au.dk/~mok/linux/doc/RedHat-CD.html Robert: Assuming you have a directory called 6.2 where you have the 6.2 downloaded to: 1) Add all of your new RPMs to the RedHat RPMS directory. 2) Make sure there are not 2 different versions of the same file. 3) While in the top level directory (/6.2) execute: ./misc/src/anaconda/utils/genhdlist ./ This will generate a new list of the expected RPMs to find on the CD. - Mike -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
Got 6.2 installed, what next? - long winded.
I just installed 6.2 on my server, and am now in the process of trying to lock the box down. I need to install the errata updates (which I have already downloaded), but I can't remember the command for the graphical RPM tool (Is it glint?) (I ask for the graphical, as I am doing everything from remote X)... I have tried running Bastille-linux on the box, but it chokes fills up the log until the partition is full... I will make an attempt to fix this (I may have some permissions set wrong). I have been looking at the services inet.conf files, it looks like there's a gob more stuff in there than there used to be. I plan on disabling everything, and then re-enabling the things I want, but maybe this is excessive - What I want is samba (internal interface only), apache (all interfaces), and some method of telnet and ftp (from all interfaces - I understand that neither are secure, so how do I go about fixing this? - What are issues I'll need to contend with for ssh?), POP from the internal interface, and smtp from all interfaces. I also plan to use this box as a masquerading router. Do I really need DNS for this? Linuxconfig seems to not work really well, so I suppose I will do this all by hand, so I could use all the help you friendly folks are willing to lend me - Be patient, my work has made me slow stoopid... After I have the machine locked down, I will obviously want to add IPCHAINS for the firewall masq - Where is a good resource for this? I also plan on installing port sentry (I had this up before) - does anyone know of a way to have sentry put locked out machines into the IPCHAINs scripts, so they aren't lost after a reboot (As I recall, it puts some things into hosts.deny, and others into temporary firewall rules)... I also plan on installing tripwire onto the system, but the version I have (sorry don't remember which) is a little buggy with some filenames... Is there a newer version, and where can I get it (sorry, I forgot)? The last thing I would lik to do is throw in an automated log checking daemon (or some such) so that I don't have to peruse a jillion MBs of logs each day... Preferably, this software would notify me by e-mail (random account) of anything unusual going on.. What's a good package for this. I have set up a couple systems in the past, but I have never tried to make the box so paranoid as I want to make this new install... (I had never had a problem with my installation until I was recently hacked).

I checked ntsysv and it shows that network should start automatically. In my log I found this message which may be the source of the problem ismod:Note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent than /lib/module/2.2.14-5.0/modules.dep If found the card and setup the addresses with the install but I used linuxconf to set the machine name so this may have caused the problem. A "depmod -a " will make the warning go away, however I doubt it's the problem. Are you certain that you are starting the eth0 interface at boot? In linuxconf there should be a little check box for it. Or check that you are running networking (ntsysv). 2.

I'm running RedHat 6.2, and after configuring Kppp i get an 'modem busy' error when I try to connect to my provider. Any ideas what could be wrong here? Could it be a hardware conflict with the other cards in my system? I have an identical modem in 3 different Linux systems, and have had it working under Redhat 5.1 - 6.2. I don't use Kppp though most of the time - I use diald to do dial-on-demand. I have the modem configured on COM3 (as it is working in Win2000). The other cards installed in the system are: - S3 Trio64 2Mb PCI video card; - Realtek 8139A PCI network card; - Yamaha SAX ISA sound card. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated as I'm getting pretty desperate here. First, make sure you do NOT set the modem for PNP operation. I have all 3 of mine setup for COM3, IRQ5. In the BIOS PCI/PNP setup screen for the PC, you will probably want to ensure the following settings: 1. Set "PNP OS Installed" to NO (the wording of this option could be different for your system. 2. Reserve IRQ5 for a "Legacy ISA" device. Again, the method for doing this could vary depending upon your BIOS. Now, if the modem is on a non-standard IRQ such as IRQ 5, you need to tell Linux about it. I do this in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file: # Setup non-standard serial IRQ's setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 spd_vhi That tells Linux that ttyS2 (COM3) is on IRQ5 - the default will assume IRQ 4, which is also in use by the first serial port (ttyS0 aka COM1).

Proxi Server
Hi, I want to install a proxi server in our net and was thinking on using Apache´s proxi capabilities. We have RedHat Linux 6.0. Could anybody give me advice on which software should I use. I don´t know about the performance of Apache. The proxi will serve mostly http requests for a large number of users. TIA.

Re: add ethercard

GNOME KDE Menus
I would like to reorganize my KDE and GNOME panel menus so that the Gnome and RedHat entries are integrated into the KDE submenus, and vice-versa. However, in KDE when I try to edit the RedHat or Gnome submenues, no entries appear other than the submenus. Can someone please inform me on how KDE is obtaining these entries so that I may copy them en-mass instead of creating all new entries?

ASUS K7V- a nice motherboard, is it linux compatible? (It has the Via Apollo Pro KX133 Chipset)
Speculation is flying on what mobo to get for the K7 Athlon platform. Asus recently released the K7V (http://www.asus.com/products/motherboard/SlotA/k7v/index.html) which is based off the VIA Apollo Pro KX133 Chipset (http://www.via.com.tw/products/prodkx133.htm), and has a lot of fancy whiz-bang features. Via's site is silent regarding linux compatibility. How well does Linux run on this board? Namely in areas such as stability, speed, and features support. Does kernel 2.2.x run it? What about 2.3.x? The linux sites I frequent had some good commentary on the the Asus K7M, but it runs the older AMD-750 chipset. Largely they were silent regarding the K7V, so I was hoping someone out there had some words to share.
