Re: groupadd -o???????????????

2000-08-24 Thread Julie

From: Mike A. Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Three mentions of "-o" being used, so the manpage author
 obviously knows a great deal about this "-o" option.  It appears
 that he wanted to keep this secret information to himself though
 as there is no actual explanation as to what -o does.

"-o" is the "override" option for non-unique GID checks.

And last time I looked, I was a "she".

[summer@possum summer]$ rpm -q rpm

This is the only 3.0.5 I have here.

There is a 9.6x somewhere on RedHat's ftp site. I think the problem is 
fixed in this rev. The 7.6x revision had the wrong %configure/%makeinstall 
setup for RH6.2 in /usr/lib/rpm/macros, if you look in there you can 
probably edit it yourself to fix it. Eg. just use --prefix with 
%configure/%makeinstall definitions in there.

I had kudzu-0.68-1 and kudzu-devel-0.52-3 installed. Upgrading
kudzu-devel to 0.68-1 solved the problem. Still kudzu-0.68-1 does not

VGA card configuration problem...

2000-08-24 Thread Bharat Bhushan

Hi,
I am not able to configure my vga card in Red Hat Linux 6.2.
It is SiS 630 which is present in the database of  linux which i configure
with the help of xf86config utility, but after configuring it,  my STARTX
doesn't work properly..
I am getting problem as i had upgraged my system from P1 to PIII with
onboard agp card of SiS 630,previously i had SiS 6215 which was already
configured on my system properly.
Can i any one help me in configuring my VGA card or can send me the driver
or necessary files if any needed for the same.

Thanks

Re: rawhide: compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.src.rpm fails to compile

2000-08-24 Thread Matt Wilson

compat packages have to be built in the environment that they prodive
compatibility for.  In this case, compat-glibc-6.2 has to be built on
a 6.2 system.

As for the other stuff, you have some strange mix of a pinstripe and a
rawhide, it seems.  Pick one or the other, install Everything.

All packages except kernel (actually, kernel should work now),
anonftp, and MAKEDEV are built as non-root here at Red Hat.  We do
massive system rebuilds all the time for toolchain regression tests.
It doesn't make sense that you see problems.  We can't reproduce it
here, and as our package rebuilds work fine here we don't care much
that your --rebuild doesn't work.  If you have some foo package that
doesn't rebuilt, figure out why.  If you think it's a significant
problem in the package, make a patch and submit it to bugzilla.

We don't have time to go through each report and say, "update your
kudzu" and so on.

Matt

God, please *STOP* this issue!!!
It's really not worth these 80 posts I see in my mailbox.
I'll never believe typing 'C-h i' is difficult to anyone who uses
emacs ( or needs, say, full gcc functionality ). 
I can see there's 5.4M of info and 21M of man pages on my HDD.
And I'm bilingual. 
When I want some knowledge on basis options/functions I use man pages.
When I want some in-depth info I use ,yes you guessed , info.
That's good.
And when we talk about new users - any major distribution provides bunch of
basis info during install time in a form which is much more suitable for
them.
That's also GOOD.

Take care.

Probably a compression protocol, which is rejected by your end.
This is normal and harmless, as ppp is essentially a negotiation
process at the LCP (link control protocol level).  To find out more,
turn on debugging in pppd, and make sure syslog is capturing all
local2.* messages (I have all my logs also sent to /dev/tty12 so
that I can easily watch them happen dynamically, way cool).

This is normal. The versions of ppp in more recent redhat distros
include the ability to negotiate the remote DNS server, and ppp can
be configured to re-write /etc/resolv.conf based on this.  (The same
information can be captured as environment variables in
/etc/ppp/ip-up).

Re: chmod problem..

2000-08-24 Thread John Summerfield

 How do I recursively SGID a directory tree, but only hitting the
 dirs, not the files?
 
 In other words, I want:
 
 chmod -R g+s dir/
 
 But no files SGID, just the subdirectories?
 
 Can I use the "X" permission somehow?  I never understood it..
 
 Or should I do something like:
 
 find dir/ -type d -exec chmod -R g+s '{}' \;


or
chmod g+x $(find dir/ -type d  


which will invoke chmod once only

Re: RTL8139: where in menuconfig?

As it turns out, 2.2.16 from ftp.kernel.org has the RTL net driver marked

Possibly you have either:
1. A not-from-redhat copy of the kernel source that is for some reason
missing this driver, or more likely

2. You have not said yes on at least one of the config options required for
ethernet support (and as such have no option to compile network device
drivers since you can't use them).

I have the kernel source for 2.2.16 installed from the
kernel-source-2.2.16-3 rpm package and it's present in my config menu.

I can send you the whole config file for one of my boxes if you want,
although it will be set to compile that as a module, since I mostly use
Linksys (tulip chipset) cards. Also if you're not using exactly the same
source code package my config file may fail to produce a usable kernel on
your machine.

Re: Driver disk creation - where do I find the .config file that was used to create the driver disk vmlinuz file?

2000-08-24 Thread Leonard den Ottolander

Hi Dan,

 - compile the .h and .c from dandelion.com in the linux src tree.  (make
 modules)
 - take the resulting DAC960.o file and gzip it. copy the DAC960.o.gz to
 /mnt/floppy and rename it modules.cgz.

 That procedure is not correct. cgz stands for .cpio.gz, so it is a gzipped 
cpio archive. What you want to do is decompress the existing modules.cgz, add 
your new module to it and make it into an gzipped archive again, something 
like:

a)cp /work/modules.cgz /work/modules.cpio.gz
b) gzip -d /work/modules.cpio.gz
c) cpio -i -F /work/modules.cpio --list  mod-list
d) cpio -i -F /work/modules.cpio -d
 This creates the file mod-list and the directory containing the modules.
This directory contains the driver files.
e) copy your module to this directory
f) You must add the added drivers to mod-list
Reconstruct the archive:
g) cpio -o  mod-list  modules.cpio
h) gzip -9 modules.cpio

 You now have a usable modules.cgz.

 - create a modinfo file like the following:
 Version 0
 DAC960
   scsi
   "Mylex AcceleRaid 352 DAC960"
 
 But then what do I put in the pcitable file?

 In the pcitable file you make an entry with the module name, a descriptor, 
and both manufacturer and device ID. These ID's are shown at boot by the bios.

 Concerning the end of your subject line "Driver disk creation - where do I 
find the .config file that was used to create the driver disk vmlinuz file?", 
I think the kernel image is probably the same image as in the package kernel-
BOOT-##. You can find the standard config files in the source tree 
(/usr/src/linux/configs). You most probaly need the kernel-BOOT config when 
compiling modules for a driver disk. For your installed system you need the 
"full" driver though. I don't know how RedHat usually handles this, but you 
might have to post install the full driver by hand.
 You can also check the kernel-BOOT package to see if there is a precompiled 
module you can use.

Bye,

Leonard.

 P.S. I wrote a kind of rough mini howto on how to edit a (net)boot floppy, 
which is rather appropriate to this situation (if you know how to fill in the 
differences). I'll send the question and my answer to it to you off list.

You can't do this. You need to do an installation for every 
user you want to, you can not share the same installation for 
different users, unless until version 5.1 of StarOffice.

In this case, you have to install staroffice with /net option, so 
staroffice is installed in your computer. Then, for every user who 
needs staroffice, you have to run a script (I don't remember its 
name) in order to install configuration files. This is explained in 
the install documentation.

RE: SSH configuration ?

2000-08-24 Thread Roy Harrison

Thanks for the info on root.

The reason I'm using SSH is that we have DSL users with dynamic IP's. A: 
Our telnet wrappers are useless and B: even if it could be used, it's 
unencrypted.

I was under the impression that with secure shell you could generate a key 
on the sever that would have to be given to the work station before the 
work station could access the server AND you would have control over who 
gets that key. I see the exchange of keys taking place here, but it's being 
done with out any directive from me.

Maybe I've been barking up the wrong tree with this.


Thanks Again

Roy

Network problems

2000-08-24 Thread jprice

I am a new redhat/linux user, so please excuse my ignorance.  :)

I'm trying to setup a home LAN with my Win98 box housing the internet connection, and 
the Linux
box (RH 6.0) having access to the internet and housing a web and email server.  I 
realize that the
Linux box would make a better server all around, but until I get more familiar with 
the OS, I want
to leave that to my Win98 box.

I'm having problems getting my two boxes to talk to each other.  Here is my current 
config:

Win98 box:
IP:  192.168.0.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0

Linux box:
IP: 192.168.0.2
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1

I have also added "192.168.0.1 boxname" to the /etc/hosts file.  I am unable to ping 
either way.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Also, what would be the best way to setup internet sharing?  I have the original 
Win98, so I don't
have built-in internet sharing.  Will I need to use a 3rd party software package or 
something?
Whatever the method, I will need to be able to forward incoming data to my linux box 
based on
ports.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Network problems

2000-08-24 Thread Dusty deBoer

I know this sounds obvious - but is the physical network working? Do you have link 
lights on your network cards on?

Then - the hosts file in Windows is in C:\WINDOWS\hosts - no extension, just hosts. 
Probably not one there already.

You can't ping either box from either box? Using ping ipaddress or ping hostname?

hosts.deny is in /etc/hosts.deny; hosts.allow is in /etc/hosts.allow on your linux box.

As far as internet connection sharing on the Windows box, I've used the Internet 
Connection Sharing built in to my version of Win 98 - but it might be just the second 
edition. I really didn't have any trouble setting it up - the windows box was 
192.168.0.1 and the linux box was 192.168.0.2 just like yours. When the modem was 
dialed in, and the linux gateway set to 192.168.0.1, everything was available via the 
linux box. (Although I did have to set nameservers on the linux box). Also, I do 
remember that I had to restart Windows several times after installing this stuff to 
get Windows to work with its ip address.

dunno if any of this will help...

-Dusty.

key that is used to encrypt the data.  I believe this happens first before any

check to see if the host is who it says it is compared to the last time. Or,
if this is the first time you should get a Host key not found sort of message
and asked if you want to continue.  I belive at this point the host key is

I may not have this down perfectly but I believe this is very close to how it

(I'm no expert so don't quote me... but...)
Your ip networks (192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0) should be independent of your domain 
name - xyz.foo.com.

For example, 192.168.1.10 could be www.xyz.foo.com, and 192.168.2.10 could be 
ftp.xyz.foo.com . And, I don't know why both of these couldn't be on the same box - 
"ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.10; ifconfig eth0:2 192.168.2.10" to bind both ip addresses 
to a box. Now, as far as routing between networks - I don't know how you would do 
that...

The mappings from domain names to ip addresses are done on your DNS server.

Also, instead of using the host names make sure you use exclusively the
IPs.  It's always better to troubleshoot network problems that way
first since that way you leave possible problems affecting name resolution
out of the picture.  

Finally, how did you physically connect the Win98 box to the Linux

Not familiar enough with Win98 in that sense, but you shouldn't have any

believe a lot of people use Wingate or something similar for this purpose,
but I don't know how good it is.  I heard it is quite insecure.  Why don't
you do a search in a place like http://www.tucows.com?

Re: Network problems

2000-08-24 Thread jprice

Yes, the physical network is working.  I have a triple boot on this system 
(Win98/Win2k/RH6.0) and
the LAN works fine in both Win98 and Win2k.  So, hardware-wise I should be fine.  I am 
unable to
ping either way using either the IP or the boxname.

Speaking of boxname, how do I name the linux box?  I'm a bit confused as to what to 
put in the
domain box in linuxconf.  I also noticed a similar box in the config section for my 
adapter -
"primary name + domain."  Again, I'm not sure what to put in there.

Thanks for the info on the files...

FYI - internet connection sharing is only included in Win98 Second Edition and Win2k.  
:(

Jason

 I know this sounds obvious - but is the physical network working? Do you have link 
lights on your network cards on?
 
 Then - the hosts file in Windows is in C:\WINDOWS\hosts - no extension, just hosts. 
Probably not one there already.
 
 You can't ping either box from either box? Using ping ipaddress or ping hostname?
 
 hosts.deny is in /etc/hosts.deny; hosts.allow is in /etc/hosts.allow on your linux 
box.
 
 As far as internet connection sharing on the Windows box, I've used the Internet 
Connection Sharing built in to my version of Win 98 - but it might be just the second 
edition. I really didn't have any trouble setting it up - the windows box was 
192.168.0.1 and the linux box was 192.168.0.2 just like yours. When the modem was 
dialed in, and the linux gateway set to 192.168.0.1, everything was available via the 
linux box. (Although I did have to set nameservers on the linux box). Also, I do 
remember that I had to restart Windows several times after installing this stuff to 
get Windows to work with its ip address.
 
 dunno if any of this will help...

 I do not have a hosts file setup on the windows box.  Where would I put it?  I did 
not realize
 windows knew how to use a hosts file...  :)
 
 Yes, networking it started.  I'm not at home right now, but I have run ifconfig and 
it showed both
 the 'eth0' and 'lo' interfaces.
 
 I am not familiar with hosts.deny - where does that sit?  I'm assuming that since I 
haven't
 touched that file at all that would not be a problem...

Re: Network problems

2000-08-24 Thread jprice

Yes, I am sure the eth0 interface is up and running.  When I do a 'ifconfig' it shows 
up with the
proper IP, etc.  I will attempt to ping the loopback when I get home.  As for the 
webpage, I don't
have Apache installed on the linux box yet, I was waiting to get the networking up 
first.  Unless
Apache is installed by default (std. Workstation install), I can't check that.

I have tried pinging using both IP and name with no luck either way.

The 2 boxes are connected via a switch and 2 10/100 NICs.  The linux box has a triple 
boot
(Win98/Win2k/RH6.0) and the LAN works fine in both other OS's.  So, I don't think it's 
a hardware
issue.

Someone earlier asked me if I had the routes setup properly.  I haven't a clue.  Any 
thoughts?

Jason

 
 Are you sure your eth0 interface is up and running?  Can you"ping
 127.0.0.1" from the Linux box and obtain the replies?  Can you open your
 browser, point it to "http://127.0.0.1" and see the homepage from your own
 server?  Please, post the exact error message that you get.
 
 Also, instead of using the host names make sure you use exclusively the
 IPs.  It's always better to troubleshoot network problems that way
 first since that way you leave possible problems affecting name resolution
 out of the picture.  
 
 Finally, how did you physically connect the Win98 box to the Linux
 box?  Ethernet, I suppose?  How?  Try to describe it.  
 
 
  Also, what would be the best way to setup internet sharing?  I have the original 
Win98, so I don't
  have built-in internet sharing.  Will I need to use a 3rd party software package 
or something?
  Whatever the method, I will need to be able to forward incoming data to my linux 
box based on
  ports.
  
  Any help would be appreciated.
  
 
 Not familiar enough with Win98 in that sense, but you shouldn't have any
 problems downloading the Internet Sharing bit from the Net, I suppose.  I
 believe a lot of people use Wingate or something similar for this purpose,
 but I don't know how good it is.  I heard it is quite insecure.  Why don't
 you do a search in a place like http://www.tucows.com?

Re: Network problems

2000-08-24 Thread Dusty deBoer

You might see what /sbin/route gives you ... although I tried this on a box at work 
and the command doesn't exist. So I must have something on my home machine that I 
don't have at work. If the route command works, you can check your gateway that way - 
your gateway should show up as a line labeled "default", mask 0.0.0.0 at the bottom of 
the list, interface eth0 in your situation. Also, is the ip address that's bound to 
eth0 192.168.0.2 ?

 Hi All,
   Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to have two networks

 If yes, then please explain me how to set this up . My all the servers are
 Linux RedHat 5.2
 
 Any help would be highly appreciable
 
Yes, you can. You need to have one machine that can see both
networks. One machine doesn't have to see ALL networks, but you have
to have a shared machine for each network that you want to add. i.e.
say you want to have 192.168.0.x, 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x. Unless
you have a machine that sees all three networks at once (probably
three separate network cards) none of them will be aware of the other
networks. However, if you have ONE machine which is your "central
gateway machine" which can see all three of the networks, you can
always send things through the central machine ('gatekeeper') to any
of the other networks... i.e. (please forgive the bad ascii art! G)
("Gatekeeper")

+ +
+ +

|   |   |
192. 168.0.1   _|   |   L   192.168.2.1
  |
192.168.1.1

Anything on the 192.168.0.x network would have to go through
the eth0 (for example) of "Gatekeeper" to get to the 192.168.1.x or
192.168.2.x and vice versa. As long as your "gatekeeper" machine has
a route statement making eth1 the default gateway for 1.1 network and
eth2 for the 2.1 network, everything will be on separate networks
only reachable via the "gatekeeper" machine.

 Thanks Brett.

 It's starting to make sense. I don't like that the first time anyone can

 that once the server has the remote's key, I can then remove that key from
 the authorized key file and have some control over who comes back again. My
 question is, isn't this how they got on to start with...there was no key in
 the authorized file and SSH put it there automatically? or, am I as is
 typical missing something?



 Roy.

You can disable the ability to login with only a password as well as a pretty
flexible host.deny/allow setup as I recall.
Look in the sshd man page.  It is really quite complete and does a pretty good job
of explaing the options.

To disable the use of password only athentication, look for the
passwordauthentication= yes in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and set it to no.

Hope this helps.

Samba Newbie alert!

2000-08-24 Thread Frank Carreiro

Ok.  I'm running Samba and have used swat (samba gui tool) to configure
my smb.conf file.  After I startup the daemons I can see the server from
my NT client however I am prompted for a user account and password when
I try to attach to a samba share.  I've tried administrator (from the NT
domain) and root (from the unix box).  I'm simply unable to get in.  If
I setup "map to guest" and select "Bad User" then I can get in.
Thinking I am not authenticating to the PDC properly.

What I would like to do is basically have my NT users (4.0 and 2000) map
to my samba share and authenticate through my NT domain controller (PDC)
without creating an account on the unix side.  Is this possible?  I'm
getting the impression samba requires a unix account which would defeat
what I'm trying to build.  A NT/UNIX single login solution.

We tried NIS but that is going with two login databases.  I'm really
interested in maintaining one if possible.

Any ideas on what I've missed?

Here is my smb.conf file.  It's pretty basic.

They were never down.  The order was stayed before the deadline.

The login issue is a software problem.  As mentioned in a previous post,
you need version 1.3.11 to fix it.

Re: Samba Newbie alert!

2000-08-24 Thread Frank Carreiro

I remember seeing a reference to the "password server"field.  I'll check it
again.  Didn't see that in the smb.conf file.

Already have the account on the PDC and smbpasswd ran successfully.  It stated
I had joined the domain.

I'll keep looking.  I'm really hopefull of an all NT domain solution with
samba.

BTW, I noticed the smb.log file is complaining of no UNIX passwd reference to
my user account.  Boy I hope I don't have to do that..

 You'll have to setup the "password server" field.  In addition, you'll need
 to make a computer account on the PDC for your samba server and then run the
 "smbpasswd -j DOMAINNAME -r PDC" command while the samba services are down.

 Now about your "can I run this w/o a corresponding UNIX account?"

 Subject: Samba Newbie alert!

 Ok.  I'm running Samba and have used swat (samba gui tool) to configure
 my smb.conf file.  After I startup the daemons I can see the server from
 my NT client however I am prompted for a user account and password when
 I try to attach to a samba share.  I've tried administrator (from the NT
 domain) and root (from the unix box).  I'm simply unable to get in.  If
 I setup "map to guest" and select "Bad User" then I can get in.
 Thinking I am not authenticating to the PDC properly.

 What I would like to do is basically have my NT users (4.0 and 2000) map
 to my samba share and authenticate through my NT domain controller (PDC)
 without creating an account on the unix side.  Is this possible?  I'm
 getting the impression samba requires a unix account which would defeat
 what I'm trying to build.  A NT/UNIX single login solution.

 We tried NIS but that is going with two login databases.  I'm really
 interested in maintaining one if possible.

 Any ideas on what I've missed?

 Here is my smb.conf file.  It's pretty basic.

 Thx

how to look at files in *.img files

How can I mount and look at the files contained in the
intallation images for redhat?  I can't seem to mount them

Re: how to look at files in *.img files

example for 1.44MB image file:

dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

You must be root (have full permissions for the floppy disk device)
boot.img is the image file (or whatever it happens to be named)
/dev/fd0 is your floppy disk drive
bs=1440k says that the block size is 1.44MB. This option (for this
exact application of dd) doesn't usually make a difference and can be
ommited (from my experiences).

Then just mount the disk:

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

Same way you mount an ISO image w/o actually burning it... IIRC, it
would be something like (and people, feel free to jump in and correct

Re: Network problems

2000-08-24 Thread Dusty deBoer

Um - yeah. Your problem is that you can't see 192.168.0.1 from .2, and/or vice-versa; 
not gateway problems. Sorry for misleading you! 

And the resolv.conf file - "man resolver" says that a line starting with "nameserver" 
should give the ip address immediately after it - so if the nameserver you want to use 
is x.x.x.x, put "nameserver x.x.x.x" on that line, or enter x.x.x.x in linuxconf.

But - that probably still isn't what's keeping you from seeing the other machine. 
Since you are seeing both eth0 and lo in ifconfig, the driver for your card must be 
loaded OK (did it display ip addresses with both eth0 and lo?). 

You can ping 127.0.0.1 from the linux box? 
You can ping 127.0.0.1 from the windows box? 
You can ping 192.168.0.1 from the windows box? 
You can ping 192.168.0.2 from the linux box? 

-Dusty

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/24/00 01:37PM 
I guess I hadn't saved the default gateway setting in 
linuxconf.  Regardless, that wasn't the problem.  I changed it and it 
didn't help...  :(

Here's my route output:

Destination Gateway  GenmaskFlMet  Ref  Use  Iface
192.168.0.2#   255.255.255.255   UH  0 0   0 
 eth0
92.168.0.0#   255.255.255.0U 0 0 
0eth0

0   0 lo
default  Shag0.0.0.0 UG  0 
0   0eth0

Shag is mapped to 192.168.0.1 in /etc/hosts.

I notice in linuxconf that there is an 'Error' tab that says "Invalid line 
2 in /etc/resolv.conf".  In my resolve.conf, I have two lines:

search localdomain
nameserver

Any new ideas??

Yes, I am sure the eth0 interface is up and running.  When I do a 
'ifconfig' it shows up with the
proper IP, etc.  I will attempt to ping the loopback when I get home.  As 
for the webpage, I don't
have Apache installed on the linux box yet, I was waiting to get the 
networking up first.  Unless
Apache is installed by default (std. Workstation install), I can't check that.

I have tried pinging using both IP and name with no luck either way.

The 2 boxes are connected via a switch and 2 10/100 NICs.  The linux box 
has a triple boot
(Win98/Win2k/RH6.0) and the LAN works fine in both other OS's.  So, I 
don't think it's a hardware
issue.

Someone earlier asked me if I had the routes setup properly.  I haven't a 
clue.  Any thoughts?

Questions about mounting filesystem, groups and permissions

2000-08-24 Thread Gary Nielson

I am trying to understand how to deal with users, groups and permissions
with directories that are mounted via nfs from a remote server. I am
mounting a subdirectory under Irix 6.5, using the xfs filesystem, from
Redhat 6.2. 

The uid and gids mean different things on the remote Irix box, so I am
getting the group "games" listed when I list all the files in the mounted
directory, but when viewed locally on the Irix box, the group is "users."

On the Linux system, I have chmod'd 2775 all the directories used by a
group called "product" so that each user, when creating a file under this
subdirectory structure, will create a file with a user named "product" so
everyone else in that group can read and write it.

I have been looking at the man page for mount and am trying to figure out
if I am going in the right direction in looking and setuid and setgid, for
example. Is there a way to fool my Linux box into reading users and groups
off the mounted Irix box to comply with the "products" group under
Linux? Is this making any sense? I want everyone in "products" to be able
to read and write files and for the world to be able to read them. 

I confess to being confused about all this and would appreciate any
guidance.

Gary I have been struggling with this too.  Wat I have come to find out
mainly from this list but from reading aand rereading the docs, is that
NFS sends the userid groupid in all requests.  That is the numeric value and
NOT the username and groupname.  I was told that this is just the way it
works and that I need to set up NIS to keep the passwd files in sync.  I have
done som prelimiary reading but have not had the chance to actually install
NIS yet.

Hope this helps.

Okay, I can't even begin to tell you how stupid I feel right now.  I almost 
want to make up some fix that I had to apply to get this to work.  Turns 
out, I mistyped the IP address for my Windows box.  I had it set to 
192.160.0.1.  Doh!  Feel free to call me whatever names you can come up 
with...  :)  Your message lead me to discover this - the windows box 
couldn't ping itself.  Thought that was odd and explored further.  Man, I 
feel dumb...  :)  Granted, I didn't have the default route setup 
previously, so this wasn't all for naught...

Thanks to all who helped.  :)

As for the nameserver, I don't have an IP for the one I use.  I have DNS 
disabled in my TCP/IP settings.  Can I use my windows box as the DNS by chance?

Also, any thoughts on how I can share the net connection?  As mentioned 
previously, Win98 std. doesn't have net sharing included.

Um - yeah. Your problem is that you can't see 192.168.0.1 from .2, and/or

And the resolv.conf file - "man resolver" says that a line starting with 
"nameserver" should give the ip address immediately after it - so if the 
nameserver you want to use is x.x.x.x, put "nameserver x.x.x.x" on that 
line, or enter x.x.x.x in linuxconf.

But - that probably still isn't what's keeping you from seeing the other 
machine. Since you are seeing both eth0 and lo in ifconfig, the driver for 
your card must be loaded OK (did it display ip addresses with both eth0 
and lo?).

You can ping 127.0.0.1 from the linux box?
You can ping 127.0.0.1 from the windows box?
You can ping 192.168.0.1 from the windows box?
You can ping 192.168.0.2 from the linux box?

I guess I hadn't saved the default gateway setting in
linuxconf.  Regardless, that wasn't the problem.  I changed it and it
didn't help...  :(

Here's my route output:

Destination Gateway  GenmaskFlMet  Ref  Use  Iface
192.168.0.2#   255.255.255.255   UH  0 0   0
  eth0
92.168.0.0#   255.255.255.0U 0 0
0eth0
127.0.0.0 #   255.0.0.0 U 0
0   0 lo
default  Shag0.0.0.0 UG  0
0   0eth0

Shag is mapped to 192.168.0.1 in /etc/hosts.

I notice in linuxconf that there is an 'Error' tab that says "Invalid line
2 in /etc/resolv.conf".  In my resolve.conf, I have two lines:

search localdomain
nameserver

Any new ideas??

 You might see what /sbin/route gives you ... although I tried this on a
 box at work and the command doesn't exist. So I must have something on my
 home machine that I don't have at work. If the route command works, you
 can check your gateway that way - your gateway should show up as a line
 labeled "default", mask 0.0.0.0 at the bottom of the list, interface eth0
 in your situation. Also, is the ip address that's bound to eth0 
 192.168.0.2 ?

 Yes, I am sure the eth0 interface is up and running.  When I do a
 'ifconfig' it shows up with the
 proper IP, etc.  I will attempt to ping the loopback when I get home.  As
 for the webpage, I don't
 have Apache installed on the linux box yet, I was waiting to get the
 networking up first.  Unless
 Apache is installed by default (std. Workstation install), I can't check 
 that.
 
 I have tried pinging using both IP and name with no luck either way.
 
 The 2 boxes are connected via a switch and 2 10/100 NICs.  The linux box
 has a triple boot
 (Win98/Win2k/RH6.0) and the LAN works fine in both other OS's.  So, I
 don't think it's a hardware
 issue.
 
 Someone earlier asked me if I had the routes setup properly.  I haven't a
 clue.  Any thoughts?

Yeah. You'll need to use dd to copy to a floppy, though, as
the previous person said. Then mount it as type vfat or
msdos (I typically use vfat, since it covers both fat16 and
fat32.)

OTOH, if you don't want to write it to a floppy, my
instructions will be what you want to use. :-)

IDE installation moving to a root RAID (hardware RAID) - bootup problem: Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init = option to kernel.

2000-08-24 Thread Dan Browning

I'm trying to load RedHat 6.2 on a server with a Mylex 352 card.  I've been
unable to create a drivers diskette because the driver requires 2.2.16 (rh62
is 2.2.14).

So I gave up and just decided to install to IDE, load the new
kernel+drivers, then move /root and /boot over to the raid device.  After
making the kernel and doing all the right mtab and fstab things and doing a
"# cp -R -x / /mnt/slash", and a "# cp -R /boot /mnt/boot".  Then changing
lilo.conf to have the new root device of /dev/rd/c0d0p1, it comes up with
the following during bootup:

Warning: Unable to open an initial console
Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init = option to kernel.

What is the init = option, and how do I use it?

Plus, how do I create a initial ram disk (initrd)?  And do I need one even
though I compiled the raid card drivers into the 2.2.16 kernel (not as
modules)?

Thanks for your help,

When compiling the kernel, make initrd, I think is what you
need.

I can offer an answer on the initial ram disk at least.  mkinitrd
/boot/initrd-2.2.16.img 2.2.16-3 should do it.  Substitute whatever kernel
version/name you are using of course.

The init thing is an option you can pass at the boot prompt.  I think
something like linux init=/etc/inittab might work?  Anyone know more?

X 4.01 upgrade

2000-08-24 Thread Bret Hughes

I am about to embark on an upgrade to XFree86 4.0.1.  I am
currently downloading the rpms from a rawhide mirror.  Is
there anything other than geting all the 4.0.4-0.43 rpms
that I need?  That seems too easy.  What about gnome stuff?
Will the surrent Gnome I have from a brand new 6.2 install
work?

Any tips appreciated. I have been having trouble with the
moongroup archives today for some reason.

Re: Staroffice installation

with

I've done this in 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2. Run the install as root
(so.whatever.bin /net) and put it in a central location (I use /opt/staroffice). Then 
when a
user starts the program (/path/install_dir/program/soffice) it will run the
install script if necessary. The user should do a workstation install, which
requires less than 5MB diskspace.

I usually do two other things as root:

  1. Create a script in /usr/local/bin that has a single command: 

   /opt/staroffice/program/soffice "$1"

That way the 'soffice' command is in a normal user's path.

  2. Add a menu item to the Applications menu in GNOME that calls
StarOffice.

running sshd

2000-08-24 Thread Jonathan Wilson

Howdy,

I'm "migrating" to Red Hat from SuSE, and I'm not sure how to make sshd 
run(on it's own, at boot time).

 From inetd?

Any pointers would be great.

Thanks,
JW

P.S. it's ssh from www.ssh.com  - not openssh
