In general, you can find whether a command is defined by hitting C-h

Multi-interface problem

2000-12-14 Thread Matt Fahrner

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?

Thanks,

- Matt

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?

Before messing around with environment variables, check if configure itself

export CPPFLAGS
configure .

i.e. set the variable *before* running configure.

For the static libraries, I'm not sure wherther ldconfig picks those up
as well, but you could check.

EXT2 and Kernel 2.4.0-test12 w/ test13 patches

2000-12-14 Thread kwood

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.

Thanks

Kevin

PCMCIA driver disk

It does not have an internal CDROM drive.  I do have an Panasonic external

Is it possible to create a driver disk with pcmcia support so I can install

download the kernel and headers from rpmfind.net, install
then recompile.  I don't know if this will affect the module

Thanks Robert (and Kevin, Ray and others) for responding.

I have already tried this. I also tried installing directly to my /home

on RH 6.2. The package installs fine, but everytime I try to run it,
it aborts. I am attempting to install it on my computer at home, which

I am using RH 7.0 on a dual 733MHz, P-III w/ 256MB and plenty of disk
space. I have all of the updates except those from the last week or so.
I am running VMware, so I upgraded to kernel-2.2.17 at their suggestion.
Other than that, this is a stock RH7.0 system on RH7.0 certified
hardware (Dell).

 I finally upgraded our internal mail server to RH6.2 with all updates.
 AFAICT everything is working except that messages in the mbox file in

 This same behavior os present in outlook express on my partner's NT box

I downgraded to the rpm that comes with the rh62 distro and all is back to

Is anyone using the Imap-2000-2.6 from the updates/6.2 directory on redhat

xfs bombs w/o /tmp font directory

2000-12-14 Thread Carey F. Cox


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

  Reply to message from Charles Galpin on Tue, 12 Dec 2000, 20:01 -0500:
 
   I'd assume yes, but here is the info on the version I am using. 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.

HTH...

It got snipped earlier, and you must of missed it, but I said I do use

for some applications (like downloading rpm updates from redhat)

1. I can't figure out the option to get wget to retry when the server says
it's too busy to accept any more connections. -t doesn't fix this.

2. if you want to kick off multiple downloads (and yet still get

Try lftp. You will find it solves both of these most admirably. I can

Silly nit to be picked, here, but if the communication is to be

I mean, I don't know that there's a whole lot of packet sniffing from the
modem on your system to the modem on the NT box.

LOL!!

For people like me with faster than a modem connection I'd be worried...

For a modem to modem solution.. depends on the data if it's sensitive ...

 Silly nit to be picked, here, but if the communication is to be
 accomplished over a modem connection, why do you really need encryption?
 I mean, I don't know that there's a whole lot of packet sniffing from the
 modem on your system to the modem on the NT box.

 LOL!!

 For people like me with faster than a modem connection I'd be worried...

 For a modem to modem solution.. depends on the data if it's sensitive ...

Eduardo, I've got LS120 drives on most of my systems, so have dealt
with most of the problems.  Mounting the drives for use is not a problem
at all.  Just add a line similar to the following:

/dev/hdd1   /mnt/floppy autouser,noauto 0 0

where you replace hdd1 with the apprpriate drive designation and
partition number.  Commonly, like zip disks, they seem to come with
partition 4 under MS Windows/whatever; I normally use fdisk to 
create partition 1, type 83 (Linux native), and then run mke2fs to
format the partition.

I've had no success as yet using the LS120 drives as a boot device.

I don't know about your specific installation, but are you using the pcmcia

installation) there was a different disk that was used if you needed pcmcia
support.  One you have pcmcia kspport, I belive there is a place in one of the
installation options (expert?) that allows you to enter driver names for
hardware needed during installation..  Check the installation docs.  Lastly,
or perhaps firstly, is the cd supported under linux at all?  I am ignorant of
the status of these devices.  If not I would say you are toast as far as

Did you compile a kernel that you already had on the system with the
same version #?

If so, you need to mv /lib/modules/2.x.y /lib/modules/2.x.y-old
(where x and y are the kernel version numbers)

before doing a make modules_install.

Go back and do that and then rerun make modules_install and reboot.

I'd be surprised if the kernel compile HOWTO doesn't cover this.

As you can see, ther retry switch doesn't help you in this case. What is
happening here is the max number of anonymous connections has been
reached. hence my use of lftp  for this sort of thing. :)

 
  2. if you want to kick off multiple downloads (and yet still get
  feedback) you need to open multiple terminals.
 
 Use an ampersand "" preceded by a space at the very end of your wget
 command (the last thing you put before pressing enter).  It works with
 most commands.

No space is needed to put a job in the background. It will work with 
any comand since this is a feature of your shell. again, I said *with*
feedback. Try lftp, you will see what I mean.

I did go through the Linux Kernel HOWTO and it doesn't say

  Wolfgang Pfeiffer stated the following:

   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 ... :)

 It got snipped earlier, and you must of missed it, but I said I do use
 wget. All the time in fact. However there are two reasons I don't use it
 for some applications (like downloading rpm updates from redhat)

No, no, Charles, I read this part of your mail, saying you were using
wget, I simply thought it's a good idea telling others wget is good for
loading down html pages.

But in writing this somehow it seems to me I must have become the
high-priest for 'wget' ;) ... or something like that (... no, just kidding
... ). Seriously: I didn't want to say, this wget is the best and leave
everything else of the other download-tools behind you: I can only hope
nobody understood my last praise for wget this way. All I wanted to say is
what I found wget is good for: as I am new to Linux I cannot gauge most of
the other down-loaders that one could also probably find for Linux.

I don't doubt a second there are other tools perhaps being much better
than wget: I simply didn't have the time to learn them.

So I hope you all don't stop telling me what's good for for Linux ... :)
I still need your advice, whether there is a wget or not ...

And thanks for all the hints to other down-loaders in this thread ...

Til next time.

your new kernel will have this as its new version (which you

also, the new modules directory will reflect the EXTRAVERSION

   Eduardo, I've got LS120 drives on most of my systems, so have dealt

   at all.  Just add a line similar to the following:
   
   /dev/hdd1 /mnt/floppy autouser,noauto 0 0
   
   where you replace hdd1 with the apprpriate drive designation and

 Mitchell-

 I don't know about your specific installation, but are you using the
pcmcia
 supported installation disk?  in 6.2 (its been awhile since I tested the
7.0
 installation) there was a different disk that was used if you needed
pcmcia
 support.  One you have pcmcia kspport, I belive there is a place in one of
the
 installation options (expert?) that allows you to enter driver names for
 hardware needed during installation..  Check the installation docs.
Lastly,
 or perhaps firstly, is the cd supported under linux at all?  I am ignorant
of
 the status of these devices.  If not I would say you are toast as far as
 installing from it.

 Bret

Using Expert mode probably won't help you.  IMHO the problem is with PCMCIA
CDs that don't exactly match what RedHat expects of them.  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

Re: LS-120 newbie question

2000-12-14 Thread Rick Forrister


Eduardo, I should have also mentioned that mounting the ls120 drive
with a standard 1.44Mb floppy instead of a 120Mb ls120 disk means
you must do the mount on the entire disk; ie.: your mount line
would be:

/dev/hdd/mnt/floppy autonoauto,owner0 0

gibberish on ppp log-in

2000-12-14 Thread Bob Hartung

Moving along,
  Kernel rebuilt and modules figured out.  Now a new problem
that I have not seen with three prior ppp setups.  
   Upon logging into ISP with minicom or kppp I receive
gibberish [example **%*()((**%$].  Is this as simple as
having the wrong script for the terminal window - but I
haven't changed anything since new installation.
   Trying to use the ppp-on script after adding correct #'s
, passwords, usernames, etc. I receive the error that the
"serial line is looped back'in /var/log/messages.

   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.  I am
having more trouble now than I did with RH 5.0 when I knew
that I didn't know anything.

TIA

Re: How to increase file handles? [SOLVED]

2000-12-14 Thread Jonathan Wilson

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

2000-12-14 Thread Max Hugen

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"?

Any suggestions would be welcome!

Hi,

You can set up an intranet with your PC having the real IP address.
This PC must be connected to internet and it'll be the gateway of the other 
computers on the network. Then you will use ipchains on the gateway (running 
linux) to enable the IP asquerading of the over computers on the intranet. 
So all your computers can connect to Internet using the only IP adresse of 
the Linux running PC. Send me more details on your Internet connection and 
i'll send you a detailed plan that works. I have done it yet and it's what i 
use now to connect 20 computers using one IP address.

Compiler questions: architecture, kernel version

2000-12-14 Thread David Talkington


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.

 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.

HTH,
Dave

Best backup system/plan for maximum safety - what do y'all do?

2000-12-14 Thread Jonathan Wilson

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?

Thanks!

JW

glide on rh7?

2000-12-14 Thread Michael Jinks

Just came from the 3Dfx driver site, which is looking a little long in
the tooth these days -- for example their hint tables only cover Red Hat
up through version 6.1.  This leads me to suspect that a lot of the
information on that site is probably not applicable to version 7, not
least because of the differences between XFree86 3.x and 4.0.

So I was wondering, has anybody made a go at getting Glide to work on a
Red Hat 7 box?  I have a Voodoo 3000/AGP running on an SMP P-III system,
in case it matters.

Thanks for any hints,
-m

RE: RAID

2000-12-14 Thread Shanmuga Raj

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. The only way to recover would be a complete re-install and restore
from backups.

I am planning on purchasing an Adaptec Ultra 160 Single Channel RAID
controller.  Does anyone have any advise/pointers as to getting started with
this.  Are there any issue that I should be aware of?  I've never used RAID
before.  I going to be setting up 3 9.1 Seagate Barracuda drives on a RAID 0
configuration.  All comments welcome.

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.

SIGIO

2000-12-14 Thread Rubén Alonso


Hi to all.
I wish know if signal SIGIO works with an ordinary file descriptor.
If in a process i open a file and caugth SIGIO with
'signal(SIGIO,my_function)'
and i write to this file from other process, my_function will be executed?

I try this with sockets and it works, but with other file descriptors don´t.

Thanks.
