It could be any combination of possible reasons.
The daemon is actually working, so xinetd (and, optionally,

I assume autofs is working, and there are no ownership conflicts with
the UIDs and GIDs on the nfs-mounted directories matching what the

What is in /etc/ftpaccess - is it denying user logins for some reason?
Missing class or realuser/realgruop directives? Does /etc/shells
include these user's login shell?
If you are running this in a yp network services environment, that
that's another thing to investigate (are shell logins successful?)
To point to you in any definitive direction, more info is needed.
What are your log files telling you? The ftpd logs
(/var/log/{messages,secure}) are usually quite useful and might
(should) give you all the clues you need. Edit /etc/ftpaccess to turn
up the logging verbosity if you need to.
Good luck.

RH 7.0 AND LILO
Hi ! I have installed Red Hat 7.0. I have 30GB disk. I made extended partition 20GB in size. LILO I installed in MBR. For linux I made three partitions on extended partition: 5GB partition for system, 2GB partition for /home and 128MB partition for swap. Everyrhing seems to work OK. I have to kernels to choose from LILO during booting (2.2.16smp and 2.2.16). Unfortunately, any attemptions to add new kernel images to /etc/lilo.conf or even attemption to execute /sbin/lilo with original contents of /etc/lilo.conf fails . /sbin/lilo prints messagess that it is adding new images (Add ...- with original contents of /etc/lilo.conf I have two Add.. lines of course) but at the end it prints that it is not able to find any kernel images !!! Of course nothing is updated. What causes such behaviour of /sbin/lilo ? Than in advance for any response.

Re: when do environment vars get set?
Ok, a little environment talk. Note that I'm heavy Unix--been in it since '80--have written a login replacment for it (decades ago), etc. I haven't gone to actually read the login source for Linux, but all the docs are the same, and it's just such a basic mechanism that I'm certain it works the same as in Unix. Plus they're POSIX-compliant...or intend to be. First: Environment is in no way supported by the kernel. It's pure user-space stuff; totally in the shell. Remember that the environment is nothing exotic. It's an array in the shell; when you export something, all that means is that when you spawn a new shell, it copies those strings to the new shell's environment array. Look at documentation for execl and its variants--you can see that you, as the caller, give whatever *you* decide belongs in the child's environment to it by pointing to your selected array of variables. Getty--in whatever form it may take, e.g., mgetty, mingetty--gets first crack at the environment. Note that it actually is the program that issues the first "login:" prompt you see; it then spawns 'login', which asks for your password. Getty usually doesn't do much with the environment, although it _could_; read some source of your favorite getty or its replacement. Login, then, really is the first to get at things--it constructs an environment array per the man page. Note that they say that PATH is set to "/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:." for normal users, and "/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" for root users. It can state this because these are actual compiled strings in the source--go on, do a strings on /bin/login. (Actually, it's interesting--it looks like at least in RedHat 6.2 they took out the reference to "." for normal users...) So, coming out of 'login' things are pretty simple--just what they said in the login man page (plus whatever undocumented changes have crept in.) Now, depending on your shell, things get more complicated. Bash uses /etc/bashrc, ksh uses /etc/profile, csh (feh!) uses /etc/csh.cshrc AND /etc/csh.login. At this point, go read the scripts. Hope this has helped someone. I'm going for coffee and the snowblower...

That's not exactly correct, since the "execve" call explicitly supports passing of an environment array, and thus the environment is a critical part of establishing the process address space for the new program. Well, yeah, the kernel has to establish the initial memory for the process and create argc, argv, and envp from passed values. Since their concern was content, I simplified along that line, since the kernel never mucks with what's in the environment.

I've reinstalled Win98SE (Linux should be fine) but of course And then I reach for the (labeled) RH boot diskette to restore the system by rerunning Lilo and I find that my wife has overwritten it So, how do I restore the dual boot without a boot diskette?

Running RHL 6.2 on an Intel 486 with 32MB RAM and plenty of disk space. Trying to install tetex-1.0.6-11.i386.rpm, I get the message: "installing package tetex-1.0.6-11 needs 2Mb on the / filesystem" [snip] I *think* that I have 29Mb available on /. Is that wrong? No, that's right, give or take a bit. Could I make the space on /dev/sda2 available to /? Would mounting /dev/sda2 on / do that? Sure, but it would also break your system, unless you take the proper measures beforehand, and those measures are extensive enough that you might be better off reinstalling, or at least moving something other than /. I notice that your / filesystem also appears to include lots of stuff that I usually give a partition to, and which would be much easier to migrate. For example, /usr is often a large chunk of any system, and is probably where most of TeTeX is is trying to install. It's also a much easier chunk of the filesystem to migrate than the root is (no device nodes to worry about, for one thing). Here's how I'd go about moving /usr: [standard caveats about checking your backups go here; this is less risky than moving / but you could still leave your machine in an unusable state if this goes wrong. also be sure you read and understand all this before you start typing commands, as it might not solve your problem; explanation below.] Say you want to put it in /dev/sda2, now /build. First make sure /build really is empty, then cd /usr tar czf /build/usr.tgz . [-- note trailing dot] [chunk...chunk... chunk...] cd /build tar xzf usr.tgz [chunk... chunk... chunk...] Hopefully there's enough space in your /build filesystem for both /usr and the tarball; if not then you'll need to get creative. /usr might be safe to transer using "cp -rp", but tar is generally more thorough. Then edit your /etc/fstab, changing /build to /usr. Then reboot and test. If all goes well (be sure!), you can get rid of what's now in /usr. Reboot again, but at the lilo: prompt enter "linux single", assuming that "linux" is the boot label that you generally use. When you get the prompt: umount /usr cd /usr ls -l [you should see all the stuff that lives in /usr even though /usr is unmounted; this is your old /usr directory which still contains everything it did before, and you won't have any new free space in / until these bytes get marked free.] cd / rm -rf /usr/* mount /usr If all that goes well, exit from single user mode and you should have a lot more space available. NOW: this might not have helped. Since most the big chunks of your system probably live in /usr anyhow, you may have just moved the problem rather than solving it. You'll probably end up with lots of space in / and not much in /usr, so tetex might now refuse to install with insufficent space in the /usr filesystem; if it does install you may find that /usr is almost full while / is largely unused. To fix this situation more generally, what I'd do is reinstall the OS with a different partitioning scheme. / should be small. /usr should be a separate partition, as big as you can spare. I also like to have /var and /tmp separate from the rest of the root filesystem (automated processes shouldn't write to / if you can help it) but when space is short you don't always have that option. I don't know why so many people these days seem to want /boot in its own partition, particularly for a single-user box; in your case I'd leave it as part of /.

[WAY OT] DNS Registration Problems
Hi All, I have a question that really has nothing to do with Red Hat, or Linux for that matter.. but serious Linux users are often serious UNIX admins who deal with these things... so while the list may be wrong, the audience is right on target. I hope someone can help me out with this before I lose my mind! :-) For about a month now, we've been struggling with with how to change the IP address of our DNS servers. As a Web hosting company, we have countless domain names pointing to our DNS servers. We are in the process of switching network providers, and since we are a "small business" we have not at this point procured our own IP addresses from ARIN. We are thus using vendor supplied IP addresses for all of our services. Very simply, what we need to do is update whatever records (and at this point, I don't even understand which records) necessary so that not only are all our customers' DNS entries updated accordingly, but also any new customers can insert the new IP addresses into their domain name registrars' forms without the registrar balking. This seems like a particularly simple process; when we used to use Network Solutions as our registrar, it was my understanding that we needed only update the host form for our DNS servers with the new IP addresses and everything would work, and all domain names pointing to our servers would be updated automagically. We switched to Register.com due to NS's abhorrent customer service and impossibly difficult email forms interface. Alas, Register.com has now gone public and grown 8000% and while their simple Web interface still works well for our customers, their technical support is one of the most incompetent support group I've ever worked with (no offense to those who are actually clueful) -- NO support request takes fewer than 5 tries of asking the same question before someone actually understands it... and even then they have never once successfully solved a problem for us. We have nonetheless an open ticket with them that has been open for weeks. Each time, a different support rep. looks at our ticket and we get highly varying intelligence in their responses. Right now we are trying to first get our secondary DNS server moved to our new IP numbers. If you lookup dns2.imagineis.com, you'll see the forward and reverse DNS both point to the new IP numbers. If you do a WHOIS lookup on dns2.imagineis.com, you'll see the old numbers. Register.com claims they have updated the Shared Registry System with our new IP information, but have no evidence to support this claim. My guess is nothing has happened and we're still at step zero. SOOO... my question is.. how do I implement this deceptively simple change? What do I need to tell Network Solutions (if they are in fact still the only company who can help)? What do I tell Register.com? Is there a higher authority to whom I can bring this problem and get resolution? Is there another domain name registrar I can bring my business to who can actually take care of this from end to end? We've search the ends of the Internet looking for information on this and what little we could come up with tends to conflict directly with other documents or a registrar's documents or responses. Perhaps someone can even point us to some documentation which is (gasp) correct? Any help in this matter would be UNENDINGLY appreciated.

RH7 install failure
The system I am installing on is a Dell Optiplex GX110. It has a partition with WIN2K installed. I installed Linux on the system and it installed properly and ran OK. The problem was I had to boot from diskette. In an effort to allow LILO to boot the system properly, I reconfigured the partitions. I have the following partitions: partition 1: DELL utility partition, invisible to all OSes partition 2: 70 MB Linux partition, trying to define as /boot partition 3: win2k ntfs partition extended partitions: partition 5: linux partition 500 MB partition 6: linux partition 16 GB partition 7: FAT32 2 GB Partition 2 was originally a DOS FAT16 partition which I change to a LINUX partition to use as the boot partition. When I get to the partitioning part of the install, either automatic or disk druid, (both in text and GUI mode) the system unlaods and reboots when I hit the NEXT button. In text mode it shows signal 11 as the problem. The system runs win2k fine. I ran Linux on the box for two weeks before trying to change my partitions around. Any suggestions? The only problem with the first install was the inability to boot except from diskette which is what prompted the re-install.

re: samba and NT4 WS
A few things to check: 1. support for encrypted passwords on your network. All new Win98SE come with encrypted passwords enabled. If you are passing the password in clear text, you will get the error message you mentioned (share not found etc). Check you smb.conf file for the encryption. 2. the user who is connecting to the samba share, must have a valid user/group ID on the linux box and his info must be reflected in /etc/samba/smbpasswd. Check 'man smbpasswd' command to add users. To make this story short, read : http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/index.html It is a complete O'Reilly's SAMBA book online which will answer al your questions for free :-).

As a Web hosting company, we have countless domain names pointing to our DNS servers. We are in the process of switching network providers, and since we are a "small business" we have not at this point procured our own IP addresses from ARIN. We are thus using vendor supplied IP addresses for all of our services. Very simply, what we need to do is update whatever records (and at this point, I don't even understand which records) necessary so that not only are all our customers' DNS entries updated accordingly, but also any new customers can insert the new IP addresses into their domain name registrars' forms without the registrar balking. New customers should list your dns servers by name when they register a domain name.

gnome finding libs in KDE???
i've have KDE2 installed. and i'm installing gnome now. the problem (accually, i don't even know if its a problem) is that the installation instructions for gnome says to "download, compile and install the following packages in order.". well i started...i got audiofile, compiled and installed it to /usr/local/gnome. well, package X is dependent on some audiofile libs and files. well configure for package X is finding the audiofile files in /usr/local/kde2, not in /usr/local/gnome...!!! what do i do? thanks for the help! hopefully in a few more weeks i won't be such a linux newbie anymore and can figure these things out on my own... christopher P.S. i joined this mailing last night, and already yall have been really helpful. i've had around 4 major problems of mine answered already. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
shell and/or keymap has gone wierd on me(home/end/del printing ~), how do I restore settings?
Ok, the story goes like this: We have two identical redhat 6.2 servers. I personally use bash, almost everyone else uses tcsh. One day we woke up, and the home, end and delete keys weren't working on one of the servers anymore. Instead of going to the beginning or end of the line or deleting one character to the right, respectively, it prints the tilde (~) character. It's SUPER annoying because I use those keys all the time. I can get around it with ^a and ^d but it really bothers me what's worse is no one has done anything that should have caused this. The server has been up for like 45 days, and this happened all the sudden about a week ago. Oh I should say: these are co-located servers, we ssh to them, so it's not a local keyboard-keymap problem. I've tried using telnet instead of ssh, that doesn't help. Here's a sample output: On the working server: [root@csc004 httpd]# /bin/echo hi Here I have hit the home key after typing the command, then delete, once. As shown it properly removed the first character to the right - the beginning "/". Here's the exact same keystrokes on the broken server: [admin@csc003 remote]$ /bin/echo hi~~ As shown, instead of going to the start of the line and deleting, it just prints "~~" This happens no mater what user or shell, also we've tried sshing/telneting from different boxen in our office with various kinds of keyboards, all the same problem. Any ideas?

Imagemagick and Perlmagick
Hello, I am trying to install a perl module that will allow me to display images/thumbnails via perl. It is called Imagemagick and is at http://www.imagemagick.org.

arg, confusion with desktop/window managers!
ok, i got halfway through installing gnome when i realized that gnome is already installed on my redhat6.1 system! but i chose KDE as my desktop manager when i installed RH6.1. does redhat install both and just configure xclients to start kde if thats the one you choose? anyways, my real questions is... redhat installs kde and gnome when you install redhat on your system, well, i want to remove them both and install them from scratch (via compiling source) in directories that i choose. how do remove kde/gnome (the versions installed by redhat) completely (libraries and all) from my system?? the problem is that programs are finding libraries and files from the orginal kde/gnome installs, instead of the installs i did (/usr/local/kde2, and /usr/local/gnome)! thanks a ton for the help... christopher ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Almost everything with a configure script has an option to specify paths to where files are located. Those that don't have a configure script can almost always be changed in the Makefile. Type: ./configure --help | less to see all of the options. Sometimes you won't find anything specific to a particular set of files (like the audio packages). But, generally there are options that will allow for extra includes and extra libraries within the configure script. In this case, it's likely something like: ./configure --option_for_file_location=/usr/local/gnome The --option_for_file_location should probably be replaced with --with-extra-libs --with-extra-includes or something like that, anyway. -- Never argue with an idiot.

Re: Sendmail
Shanmuga Raj wrote: I am trying to understand how this works. any mail sent to the linux server from a workstation, is delivered to sendmail, as sendmail is the smtp server on port 25 (correct me if I am wrong). Then if the mail is local it is passed on to procmail to process local delivery to the local recepient. If the mail is remote, sendmail puts it the mail out que to deliver to the remote host. If, as you said, any local mail which is sent without a domian name is directly passed on to procmail for delivery, how is the mail delivered to procmail? bcs as I understand, all mails are delivered to port 25 which is the smtp server. Part of the sendmail configuration, or any mta's (Mail Transfer Agent) config I guess, tells it what program to use for local delivery. In the case of the redhat setup procmail is used as the mda (Mail Delivery Agent). At this point the port 25 stuff does not come into play. The mail is passed to procmail via some other mechanism. It is the MTA's job to get the mail to the correct machine. Not to put it into the user's mail box. The MDA does that.

RE: when do environment vars get set?
First: Environment is in no way supported by the kernel. It's pure user-space stuff; totally in the shell. That's not exactly correct, since the "execve" call explicitly supports passing of an environment array, and thus the environment is a critical part of establishing the process address space for the new program. But it is quite true that the kernel doesn't care what's *in* the environment. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
