Multi-interface problem
You're probably going to just tell me to upgrade but... Anyone seen this? We have a RedHat 6.2 system with stock kernel with two Intel Etherexpress Pro 10/100 cards: alias eth0 eepro100 alias eth1 eepro100 "eth0" has the IP and MAC address of: 172.16.128.79 00:B0:D0:21:A3:7F and "eth1": 172.16.130.79 00:D0:B7:44:2D:41 Note the mask is 255.255.254.0 so they're on different subnets. The weird thing we're getting is that sometimes somehow our Cisco which is connected to both subnets is learning both IP addresses against the MAC of "eth0", eg (from "show arp"): Internet 172.16.128.79 1 00b0.d021.a37f ARPA FastEthernet3/1 Internet 172.16.130.79 190 00b0.d021.a37f ARPA FastEthernet3/0 ^^ || Wrong! Should be: 00d0.b744.2d41! meaning packets that should be bound out "eth1" must somehow be leaking out "eth0" and causing the Cisco ARP table to get maligned. Since most hosts off-net of either of these nets use the same Cisco to route to this host (and the host is multihomed in the DNS), the Cisco when forwarding the routed packets wrongly thinks it knows the correct arp for the 172.16.130.79 (eth1) address and then doesn't try to arp up the address. This in turn causes it to forward the packets against the wrong MAC which are then ignored since they don't show up against the correct interface/MAC combination. The only guess I have is something to do with interface naming confusion (which I vaguely remember reading about somewhere) or a kernel bug. Any guesses, advice, etc?

DMA(Ultra66) Have Kernel 2.3.3 but error on compile Ok well I installed Linux on my machine: P-III 500mhz 128mb Ram 20gb HD 1gb HD Both are connected to the Promise Ultra66 DMA controller. And so now I have to type linux ide2=0x10e0, ide3=0x10d4 into lilo every time I boot. I read that I should get a Dev kernel in the 2.3.x range. So I downloaded 2.3.2 and extracted it and everything. I know I have the complete file but when I go to compile I get an error. make config works just fine. I go through that just fine. But make dep; make clean; (-those work) make zImage; (also tried make bzImage) but it comes up with an error like: can't open errorno.h in a directory. I can post the exact message if needed. But what could be causing this? And is there an easier way other than patching 20 times? I'm running RH 6.2 w/ the 2.2.14-5.0 kernel. What can I do?

EXT2 and Kernel 2.4.0-test12 w/ test13 patches
Hey there guys and gals, I have question for you. I finally figured out how to get a kernel to compile on RH7.0 last night (Whooohooo!). Problem I am having is that I went bleeding edge and downloaded the 2.4.0-test12 kernel and then applied the test13 patches to it. The problem I am having is that the kernel doesn't seem to recognize any of my logical partitions in the extended partition on my drive. Not much of a problem when dealing with a RH system only, but this is a dual boot machine and my / partition falls into /dev/hda5. I used the kernel-config from 2.2.16-22 as a base and then made some changes, like removing sound cards I didn't need, isdn and the like. Am I missing something to make this happen? Have I turned off an option or do I need to also shut something else off? If anybody has a working config that is running on an IDE based system, I would love a copy. I then can use it as a base. Any help would be appreciated. I lacked to mention that the kernel did see the first three partitions.

xfs bombs w/o /tmp font directory
Because of difficulties in getting StarOffice to work on my RH7.0 system at school (see separate post entitled "StarOffice aborts on rh7.0"), I decided to try installing it on my home computer to see if I had the same problems there. What I found is that I couldn't install it because I didn't have enough space on /tmp. Well I had some old redundant partitions laying around and decided to convert on to /tmp. When I remounted the old partition as /tmp and started X-windows, it aborted with some error message about unable to find fonts and unable to connect to socket 7100. Fortunately, I hadn't removed the old /tmp, but had simply mounted over it. I umounted /tmp and was able to start up X. I tried various combinations and restarted the xfs server with no luck. I had tried to copy over all of the old /tmp to my reused partition, but I noticed that the file, /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100=, wasn't copied. I looked at the directory listing... srwxrwxrwx1 xfs xfs 0 Dec 13 13:50 /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100= and noticed that this is a socket. This seems to be the only difference between the old /tmp and my new reused partition /tmp. This leads to several questions... 1) Is there a way of recreating this device? 2) Why doesn't the font server recreate this device automatically? 3) If the font server truly requires this device, shouldn't this be put under the /var tree and not under /tmp? 4) Shouldn't one be able to completely erase /tmp and still have everything functioning upon reboot? I really need to increase /tmp space so I can go ahead with my install of StarOffice. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks, Carey -- == Carey F.

Try here first http://ftp.yars.free.net/projects/lftp/ [ ... ] Thanks Charles, in the meantime I think it's possible the one I found is a Polish-Language version ... near the end there: duch.mimuw.edu.pl ^^ [ ... ] I'll try tomorrow to find another version ... (too late at night now ...) I found a 'lftp' version in the meantime in English (Red Hat on my machine is in English ... although I really would have preferred the polish(ed) version, because it seems being very fresh ... I guess a polish language version probably will not be compatible with my English Red Hat version on my box.) But let me point to this: 'wget' does ftp *and* http -- I find it very useful for downloading html-ized manuals: wget is able to follow links on html-pages and then download them ... perhaps a bit complicated for beginners as I am, but once understood it seems to be very fast and extremely useful for people wanting to let jobs being done by the machine that otherwise would have to be done by humans ... :) If you want to test it: to download a wget manual, you could try doing this with the following command (the following 2 lines are *one* command ...) wget -l 20 -t5 -r -L -np -nc -nh http://www.gnu.org/manual/wget-1.5.3 /html_chapter/wget_toc.html With the last command to download this complete manual shouldn't take you more than about 30-60 seconds with an ISDN line ... :) ... and for the sake of security of your machine: if you please check the options of this command in man wget: I'm still a beginner with Linux ... You probably will not find the '-np' option in this man page ... the GNU Wget Manual says: --- `-np' `--no-parent' Do not ever ascend to the parent directory when retrieving recursively.This is a useful option, since it guarantees that only the files below a certain hierarchy will be downloaded. See section Directory-Based Limits for more details. --- And Charles, thanks again for your hint for 'lftp' ... I'm curious to study man lftp the next days. Here's my two cents worth: I haven't tried lftp, but there's many packages that provide this type of service; i.e.: ncftp, gftp (by Gnome), etc. Sometimes ftp sites mandate regular ftp for passive protocol reasons. Although, I'm looking forward to seeing how lftp works; therefore, thanks for the links. As for the Polish version, you'll get prompted with Polish language. Now for wget, it suggests using .wgetrc for default settings, but the documentation said (long ago when I last read it) that wget gets finicky about additional command line options once .wgetrc is configured (paraphrasing). So, I made the alias below in ~/.bashrc and an option can be added to alias wget when the command is executed. If pppd is disconnected, normally I only need "-c" with alias wget. Also, you can run many alias wgets as you which, http is not a road block, there's less overhead, so things run faster. (Note: all quotes below are mandatory.) You can use "tail -f" with quotes around the log filename to view each execution of alias wget's progress. alias wget='wget -v --follow-ftp --glob=on -N -r -l0 --tries=0 --no-parent -k -o "log - $(date "+%r %Z -:- %A, %B %d, %Y")"' Ultimately, it boils down to one thing -- whatever gets the job done.

Dave, That was it! Now I wonder why in the past, since RH 5.2 I have never had to rename the original modules directory under /lib and I have recompiled every kernel since 5.2 when installed? Oh well, another lession learned. I did go through the Linux Kernel HOWTO and it doesn't say to rename the original /lib/modules.x.y.z before making modules (See Part 9) There may be a more complete older HOWTO out there or another HOWTO alltogether that address this point.

I have an Addonics 24x PCMCIA CD that RedHat 6.2 and 7.0 won't use, even though the driver module it requires is loaded (ide_cs.o - pretty generic). By switching to tty4 (boot up the PCMCIA boot disk and hit alt-ctrl-F4) I can see that card manager sees the CD on the PCMCIA bus, and even identifies the hardware. Then I see error messages like this: DEC 14 04:51:59 cardmgr[14]: fopen(stabfile) failed: No such file or directory It looks like it tries three times, then gives up. My PCMCIA CD maps to /dev/hdc, and that may be the problem. I don't know if RedHat thought to include support for PCMCIA CDs which do that. No worries though - if you really want to put Linux on your laptop, the Debian 2.2 CD comes with floppy installation images. Make the floppies, install (PCMCIA support is included in the default set) and you're ready to go. I had to edit the Debian fstab file to change the CD device to /dev/hdc, but after doing that everything worked fine - mount /cdrom brings up the CD. (The editing fstab requirement is what makes me think that RedHat's problem is with ide_cs.o drives.) If you really need RedHat on the laptop and you have enough drive space you could install Debian 2.2, copy the RedHat directory from the CD to a partition, and then install from the hard drive. Or nag RedHat about their PCMCIA boot diskettes. Cheers, James ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

These are probably unrelated, but I have looked in the pppd HOWTO and three Linux books without being able to figure out the serial line looped back error. SLIP support is compiled in the kernel as I will eventually [maybe] be able to return this machine to a diald server at the office. Thanks again to all for all the helpful information.

Re: How to increase file handles? [SOLVED]
from an older post (also this article: http://www.byte.com/column/BYT2829S0006 ): The settings you want are in /proc/sys/fs/file-max and /proc/sys/fs/inode-max. By default they're 4096 and 7680 respectivly. To increase them just echo the number you want into the file... echo 8192 /proc/sys/fs/file-max echo 32768 /proc/sys/fs/inode-max ... for instance. You can do that at run time - no need to reboot or anything it will take effect immediatly. Redhat provide a fairly simple way to set this automatically at boot time. Add the lines... # Set maximum file and inodes fs.file-max = 8192 fs.inode-max = 32768 ... to /etc/sysctl.conf and they'll be set each time you boot up. An recent releases anyway - i'm not sure when sysctl.conf was introduced to redhat. I as understand it file are the number of acutal file handles that can be open but inode is the number of file descripters of all kinds.. pipes and sockets ect ect. At least... i think so. :/ Also of interesy to you may be /proc/sys/fs/file-nr and /proc/sys/fs/inode-nr. This shows the highwater mark, the current count and the max.

RPM and Bzip Chasing Tails - Still
First, sorry I'm posting "out of thread", but I haven't figured out how to reply to a specific msg at the list's http site... Many thanks to David Talkington and Wolfgang Pfeiffer and others for your comments. We have tried running the rpms together, but still no go. From the log of our telnet session (an abbreviated version is at end of email) you can see that the RPM install wanted bzip 0.9.0c-2 or greater, we have only 0.9.0c-1 installed. And the Bzip rpm kept insisting on a later version of RPM. Perhaps someone can see what we're doing wrong from the log file below, or do we have to try to get earlier versions of the rpms and "work our way up the version chain"?

Compiler questions: architecture, kernel version
Hello all -- Please let me qualify the following by saying that a) I'm not C-literate, and b) I'll be perfectly happy with links to FAQs, or a more appropriate forum to which to direct these questions. If I wish to compile a binary on a fast machine and transfer this binary to another box of lesser architecture and an older Linux kernel, what steps are required? (I'm restricting my scope to Intel processors here.) For instance, if I build ssh on an i686 with 2.2.17, and want to run this binary on an i486 with 2.2.14, what must I do? 'man gcc' suggests that the -b option is relevant, but it also says "This is useful when you have installed GNU CC as a cross-compiler", suggesting that there is some other configuration to be done to gcc before I should try that ... and that doesn't address the issue of kernel version. Similarly, if I'm compiling someone else's source on the aforementioned i686 and I want the binary to be optimized for that processor, need I do anything special? The man page says this about the -b switch: "When you do not specify `-b', it normally means to compile for the same type of machine that you are using." However, it has been suggested to me that some extra flags to gcc in the makefile may be required to make this explicit. I'd like some general guidance on this before I start mucking about.

Thank you for any suggestions. A cross-compiler is for entirely different architectures (like compiling a i386 binary using a SPARC machine). You're just looking at different variations of i386. Unless you are invoking gcc with various -m options, the code should run on any Intel chip. If you want to learn how to optimize for a specific architecture (which will prevent it from running on an earlier architecture), try: info gcc (or use emacs) and follow the links: invoking gcc, submodel options, i386 options.

Best backup system/plan for maximum safety - what do y'all do?
Howdy, Now that we've spent a good deal of time setting up our system of servers, it's occurred to us that we should be dome something more rigorous then once a week manual "cp -a /etc /backup/$DATE" First off, we do NOT want to buy a commercial app like Arieka or BRU. We want to use Free Software, and will write it myself if we can't find something good enough. Also I'm NOT going to use tape. Hard drive space is cheap, and so are CDs. And faster, IMHO. That said, I've had a good look over freshmeat and found more then enough apps/scripts that use tar, cpio, ssh and various compressions... enough to satisfy me. So what I'm really concerned about is not the tools to do this with but the methodology of it. I can think of several considerations: 1. At least some level of backup needs to happen every day, i.e. at least a back up of /etc to a local tarball. 2. Though we have lots of space and can get more, we can't keep archives forever. There probably should be some sort of trailing increments (whatever that means..) like every day for the past 4 weeks, every other day of 2 and 3 months ago, Sunday and Wednesday of 4 and 5 months ago, once a month for a year back after that. Or whatever. maybe some sort of versioning system like CVS 3. We need to be able to get single files back out of the archive without a big to-do. You know, like if someone edit's Apache's conf file right before they leave and we find out the next morning that it's screwed up and we want to go back a day. This is my primary reason for not wanting to use tapes, and wanting to use hard disks. 4. We have local workstations/servers and remote (co-located) ones. We'll probably swap data - both local back ups and remote backups need to be stored BOTH locally and remotely. Why? Well, if our office were to burn down, for instance, all of our local data would already be stored in town. If our ISP burns down, we'll have all of our server data stored locally. 5. we need to be able to do a very quick reinstall if, say, a hard drive totally fails, or a cracker breaks in (in both cases it would require starting from scratch). 6. We've thought about combining a "honeypot", as they are some times called, with a back up box. (A honeypot, as I understand it, is basically a box that is not running any services at all. Once a night (or whenever) it makes a connection to remote machines to collect log files (and I'm thinking back up files). All ports are closed and no incoming connection is ever accepted (it would be a local box with only direct keyboard control - no telnet or ssh). 7. It HAS to be automated. We've found that anything that waits for human intervention doesn't get done reliably. 8. It needs to have some sort of failover/failproof -ness. Something like it emails 2 other servers whenever the job is complete. Something should run on the other servers that checks for that email every night. If they don't receive the email they can email the admins and/or page their beepers. 9. (kind of a repeat) We MUST be able to do a quick restore of a whole drive in case of emergency. I've never had to restore a whole drive before, but I've been around people that /thought/ they had a back up system going well, and after a disk failure, they found out the hard way that they didn't really have a way to restore a whole drive. That's no good. What's the best solution - some sort of drive image we can dd back onto the drive? That would take a LOT of space. The idea here is we need a total restore - we don't have time to reinstall Linux form our distro CD then manually copy the files we need out of our backups. Any and all advise is very much appreciated. I'd really like to hear from people who have working backup systems. Is there anything I forgot, or does anyone see something wrong with anything I said?

RE: RAID
If your server is running any critical applications and downtime is a concern, then you should configure a RAID 5, with RAID 5 you will get (n-1) i.e 18GB in your case. In case of a single drive failure you can easily replace only the failed drive, and your Array will auto rebuild itself. With RAID 0 you will get 27GB of storage, however, there is no Fault tollerance. In case of a single drive failure your entire array data will be lost.

So what I'm really concerned about is not the tools to do this with but the methodology of it. OK, here are some reccomendations. STRONGLY consider RAID. be it hardware or software. RAID 1 at a minimum, RAID 5 preferred. With either of these, you get the high availability you desire. after that, all other backups are a cakewalk. The only time whem you would need significant downtime, given a nice RAID 5 setup, would be the cracker possibility you mention. since at that point, there isn't anything short of a ground up reinstall that is acceptable. As far as that goes, You could consider setting up /usr, /etc, and any other rarely changing mountpoints on a Read-Only device. Many drives can be seat as such atthe hardware level. This dramatically reduces the damage a cracker can do, as far as infecting system data. of course, if you update system programs and data frequently, ths could cause some downtime as you would need a reboot to add it. in that event, consider mounting them read only. Less protection, but greater flexibility. You indicate you have plenty of options of backup packages from freshmeat (long live free software and it's developers!), so I'll assume you have a plan for that. I personally would set a timelimit as to how long backups are stored. perhaps a weekly system image could be done, with user backups done weekly as well? Once amonth (depending on size constraints of course), you could archive them to CDs or CDRW (cheaper in the long term). Well, that should give you some ideas. Remember the RAID option, IMO, it is your best option when combined with regular backups. Bill Anderson PS: BTW, when doing those backups, you may wish to remount the given filesystem read-only to protect against users adding data, or the backup itsself corrupting the original data somewhow. If you specify a time that this will be done, and ensure your users are notified, they will gladly accomodate you. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
