Just how you tell root can be tricky - if mail's working *you can open the smtp port), or if sendmail's installed, it's pretty easy. Otherwise, perhaps something installed in the initscripts to let root know when mail's working. The first case covers post-install conditions; the second if it's done during system-install. ___ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list

These days, I set up a 24-32MB /boot partition when needed to make sure the kernel is located within the first 1024 cyls. I allow more space in /boot for SMP systems or systems which need special drivers where I would tend to have multiple kernel versions that I want to boot. I have even had a case where "/boot" was on a partition of /dev/hda and "/" was on partition of /dev/hdc and it works fine. Access to swap is entirely a Linux not BIOS matter so it conforms to Linux not BIOS restrictions. In other worsds there is no 1024 limit for swap. There are there three things who must conformd to BIOS restrictions: the boot loader, the kernel and initrd.

Re: rawhide: kernel vs glibc
You're getting this kernel out of the preview/ directory? Any glibc package with ".2.4" at the end of the release is built without any support for kernels older than 2.4. This makes glibc faster, as it does not have to figure out what kernel is running to determine which kernel interfaces to use. You should not install the glibc-2.1.92-14.2.4 package if you are planning on running 2.2 kernels on your system. The headers in this case are not what matters.

Nick, Try creating an empty file /etc/inetd.conf Install the .rpm and let it write it's line to your inetd.conf. From there you will have to reflect what fam wrote in inetd.conf in your xinetd.conf file. For the last part you're very much on your own, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what xinetd needs to correctly launch fam if you already have the corresponding entry in inetd.conf.

Thx Nick Hudson If you're trying to install the equivalent of the File Allocation Monitor (FAM) daemon in IRIX, then it's looking for the inetd.conf file in order to add an entry there since that is the way the daemonis usually ran. Again, as some other people said, I don't think it would work with Red Hat 7 due to the fact that this release uses xinetd instead of inetd. By the way, since you asked in your original message what inetd is... it's also called the interned daemon or superdaemon. You can configure it to automatically start certain daemons when the system gets a connection through a certain port. For instance, whenever your system gets a request via port 23, inetd will spawn the telned daemon to reply to that request. Why use it? Well, that way you don't need to have the telnetd daemon running in the background constantly and can save some system resources. Another advantage: TCP wrappers. The inetd daemon checks the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny file for security settings, etc. That's basically it, although there are some other things that could be said about it, of course. :) --- Nitebirdz -- pgp = Pretty Good Privacy.

Re: Network cabling
Hi Gustav,
Re; established standards, sure. First the key is not the wire color,
while that's more a less a standard, there are certainly cables using
different trace colors than the ones I provided. The real issue is
pinouts, and how they are interconnected. Each end of connection has a
transmitter and a reciever. One uses pins 1 2, the other uses pins 3
6. Transmitters must connect to recievers and visa versa. So, if you were
to connect two NIC to each other pins 1 2 on NIC A would have to connect
to pins 3 6 of NIC B, and pins 3 6 of NIC A would connect to pins 1 2
of NIC B.
There are cables connected exactly like this.
NIC A
NIC B
1 -- 3
Xmitter {
}Rcvr.
2 -- 6
3 - 1
Rcvr.{
} Xmitter.
6 -- 2
However:
Rather than use crossover cables as shown above, the convention is for NICs
to be wired as shown and Hub to be reversed: ala'
NIC
HUB
1 -- 1
Xmitter {
}Rcvr.
2 -- 2
3 - 3
Rcvr.{
} Xmitter.
6 -- 6
The connections between a Transmitter must be "balanced". Balence is
provided by twisting the two wires so that each wire in the pair picks up
"approximately" the same amout of ambient electrical noise from the
environment. That way the noise arriving at a the reciever, know as the
Common Mode Signal can be rejected, and only the "real" signal is received.
So you need two pairs of wires. A second benefit of twisting the wires is
that the impedence of the pair is controlled, about 100 ohms in CAT5. By
matching the output impedence of the transmitter to the cable and the input
impedance of the cable to the receiver, the deliverery of signal power from
transmitter to receiver is maximized.
The signal is without polarity, so while it might seem that pin 1, of a
pair, should go to pin 2 on the opposite end and pin 2 to pin 1, this is
not neccessary and allows cables to be wires "straight through. 1 to 1, 2
to 2, 3 to 3 and so on.
You may find some networks wired with two pair cable, it's cheaper than 4
pair CAT5. It works, but it does violate the media standard for Eithernet,
(802.3).
You may also find systems wired using the telecommunications (telephone)
industry color codes, (EIA/TIA-568).
Pair 1TipWhite/blue
Ring Blue
Pair 2TipWhite/orange
Ring Orange
Pair 3TipWhite/green
Ring Green
Pair 4TipWhite/Brown
Ring Brown
This will also work fine, just ensure that you have pairs between pin sets
and are using appropriatly certified wire for thespeed at which you want
the circuit to operate. Buy CAT5, and you will be doing that. In other
words don't accept UTP-3, UTP-4, UTP-5, or STP-5.
Of course, while installing the cables, you will want to ensure you do not
exceed the "recommend" pull force of 110 Newtons, per standard SP 2840A.
Please recognize 110 Newtons (about 25 foot pounds) is only a
recommendation as it has not yet be accepted as a "standard". :))
Hope this helps,

Tom,
I have been doing my own cables for a while. My primary reason is that I
get them in the lengths that I prefer. I don't need to use a twenty feet
cable where a twelve feet cable would do.
I have always been following the instructions in a users guide I
received when I bought a hub from Linksys. That's so far been my only

I noticed that in the guide I have, they have inverted the use of pins 4

But can you confirm that your explanation adheres to established

RH 6.2 and Ultra 66 problem
I have been running RH 6.0 and used the setup scrip provided by Promise for 6.0. I wanted to upgrade to 6.2 but the same script did not work with 6.2. After looking for a while I found the method to use in the mini "How To for Ultra 66" This worked fine. (It involved issuing the command "Linux ide2=XX ide 3=X before booting Linux). I have successfully put this command into LILO so I don't have to enter it with each boot, everything seems to work well except: RH 6.2 runs a LOT SLOWER than 6.0 did. Is this the nature of 6.2? Or is something else wrong which I need to address? Or do I need to patch the 2.2.14 kernel? (if this is the case then I need some advise, I have found a lot of patches supplied by /hederick/ but which one? and how to apply it?

[Fwd: gcc 2.96 comment from GCC steering committee]
Sent to the bash list. Anyone else see this? Did RH 7 ship with gcc 2.96? I wonder how big a deal this really is? Bret Art Wildman wrote: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-announce/2000/msg3.html It has come to our attention that some GNU/Linux distributions are currently shipping with ``GCC 2.96''. We would like to point out that GCC 2.96 is not a formal GCC release nor will there ever be such a release. Rather, GCC 2.96 has been the code- name for our development branch that will eventually become GCC 3.0. Current snapshots of GCC, and any version labeled 2.96, produce object files that are not compatible with those produced by either GCC 2.95.2 or the forthcoming GCC 3.0. Therefore, programs built with these snapshots will not be compatible with any official GCC release. Actually, C and Fortran code will probably be compatible, but code in other languages, most notably C++ due to incompatibilities in symbol encoding (``mangling''), the standard library and the application binary interface (ABI), is likely to fail in some way. Static linking against C++ libraries may make a binary more portable, at the cost of increasing file size and memory use. To avoid any confusion, we have bumped the version of our current development branch to GCC 2.97. Please note that both GCC 2.96 and 2.97 are development versions; we do not recommend using them for production purposes. Binaries built using any version of GCC 2.96 or 2.97 will not be portable to systems based on one of our regular releases.

Re: procmail
Luke, I don't know anything about sendmail, but /etc/mail/* is explained by sendmail documentation, right? The most current source is /usr/lib/sendmail-cf/README, which is located on your box. /etc/mail/access isn't mentioned in the official Sendmail manual, which is based on Sendmail 8.8. But I have a question, what if faked domains like 'backwire.com' are only used for one spam/broadcast session? IOW, is there a way to use other more constant or consistent parts of the mail header information in /etc/mail/access, like 'Received: spammer's ISP addr', which is not as likely to change? It has a limited ability to do this. The following instructs sendmail to search the message id for the addresses listed in /etc/mail/access. If found then the directions you include for that specific address are followed. I don't know of a way to instruct Sendmail to search the entire header for a string. Add the following to your /etc/sendmail.mc file: LOCAL_RULESETS HMessage-Id: $CheckMessageId SCheckMessageId R $+ @ $+ $@ OK R$* $#error $: 553 Header Error Then remake your /etc/sendmail.cf file from sendmail.mc and restart Sendmail. Also, if you use the blacklist recipient feature in sendmail.mc: FEATURE(`blacklist_recipients') You can keep mail from going to specific users on your system: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 550 Jack is grounded for hitting Susie This will bounce all mail to Jack until you un-ground him. *Plus* blacklist recipients also keeps local users from sending mail to addresses listed in /etc/mail/access. So if you don't want Susie to be writing letters to snake, just put "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and both incoming and outgoing mail addressed To/From "snake..." will be blocked.

Re: [Fwd: gcc 2.96 comment from GCC steering committee]
Yes it did ship with the 2.96 gcc. Or at least that is what is on the distribution I installed. Paul Anderson Bret Hughes wrote: Sent to the bash list. Anyone else see this? Did RH 7 ship with gcc 2.96? I wonder how big a deal this really is? Bret Art Wildman wrote: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-announce/2000/msg3.html It has come to our attention that some GNU/Linux distributions are currently shipping with ``GCC 2.96''. We would like to point out that GCC 2.96 is not a formal GCC release nor will there ever be such a release. Rather, GCC 2.96 has been the code- name for our development branch that will eventually become GCC 3.0. Current snapshots of GCC, and any version labeled 2.96, produce object files that are not compatible with those produced by either GCC 2.95.2 or the forthcoming GCC 3.0. Therefore, programs built with these snapshots will not be compatible with any official GCC release. Actually, C and Fortran code will probably be compatible, but code in other languages, most notably C++ due to incompatibilities in symbol encoding (``mangling''), the standard library and the application binary interface (ABI), is likely to fail in some way. Static linking against C++ libraries may make a binary more portable, at the cost of increasing file size and memory use. To avoid any confusion, we have bumped the version of our current development branch to GCC 2.97. Please note that both GCC 2.96 and 2.97 are development versions; we do not recommend using them for production purposes. Binaries built using any version of GCC 2.96 or 2.97 will not be portable to systems based on one of our regular releases. If you encounter a bug in a compiler labeled 2.96, we suggest you contact whoever supplied the compiler as we can not support 2.96 versions that were not issued by the GCC team.

Re: Re: 3d support
well, Jason no offense taken...but before you say something like that try
reading the message more carefully...the drivers at linux.3dfx.com are
based on xfree86 3.3.5 like I said the first timerh 7.0 has xfree86 4.
something or other...I was asking would they still work...not where they
were...but thanx for all your help
:
: I am trying to play quake 2 with rh7.0...I thought rh7.0 came with 3d
: support..I am running a voodoo3...with lots of mem and speed.
: I looked for drivers but they are based on xfree86 3.3.5 and rh7.0
has
: xfree86 4 will they work or am I missing how this works??
No offense, but you haven't been looking very hard.
If you go to the 3dfx site, and go to the drivers area, it points you
directly to http://linux.3dfx.com/...

Re: [Fwd: gcc 2.96 comment from GCC steering committee]
Anyone else see this? Did RH 7 ship with gcc 2.96? I wonder how big a deal this really is? How big a deal it is? Well if it's producing incompatable object code, then RH7 is truely screwed :) (if gcc 2.96 is what it's been reported to be, then that's *the* thing which will kill the whole distro.. since the whole distro might have been compiled with it and there's no upgrade that'll fix it yet) I dunno why the object code would have been changed.. the format usually gets stuck with and it was doing fine as it was :/ ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Printing problems w/ RH7.0
Hi, I have a problem that used to work on earlier RH systems. I just want to find out if it's me, or if it's a bug (before file a bugzilla report)... I have a remote print queue on a HP-UX system. I run print tool. The result printcap is essentially identical to a working RH5.2 system: ps:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :rm=hawaii:\ :rp=ps:\ :lpd_bounce=true: The last line is new, otherwise it is identical to a RH5.2 and a former RH6.2 system. The print queue is the "ps" queue on remote server "hawaii" (which is running HP-UX) When I print a job, and tail /var/log/messages, I see the following: Oct 9 13:18:08 amnesia (Worker - Remote)[20235]: ps: Remote_job: fstatb failed - Bad file descriptor Oct 9 13:18:08 amnesia (Worker - Remote)[20235]: ps: Remote_job: close(4) failed - Bad file descriptor This, almost certainly, is related to my problem, but I'm not sure how to interpret it. Which file descriptor is bad, and what am I supposed to do about it to get my print jobs printting ? Just as a sanity check, I changed the print server to a RH5.2 one, and i still get the same error message. thank, and regards, -Greg -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 09-Oct-00 Time: 13:13:36 If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...Oh, wait a minute, he already does. -- ___ Guinness-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/guinness-list --End of forwarded message- -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 09-Oct-00 Time: 13:43:52 If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...Oh, wait a minute, he already does. -- ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
