I am unable to subscribe to that list,hence redhat list..
Are there any other mailing lists for ldap support?
If you could tell me,it'd be great!

WINE (was Re: Trouble downloading Moneydance.)

[Micah Yoder]

I'd be interested in knowing what other mainstream apps people have
successfully run under Wine recently.  I know, there's the winehq
database, but vague comments, old records, and inflated ratings make it
rather useless.

Personally, I've been playing Stardock's Entrepreneur game, and it runs
pretty much PERFECTLY!  It did crash once, but I've played it for
several hours so that's not TOO bad.  I have no native 'Doze DLLs.  I'm
using Codeweaver Wine on Redhat 6.2.

I tried downloading a few Windows shareware programs, but the installs
generally failed, needing some kind of MSxxx.dll.

Mozilla Bookmarks Manager not so managable

[Vidiot]

Have you ever tried to manage your bookmarks with Mozilla?

Sucks, doesn't it.  I have lots of bookmarks.  I went to use one that
no longer works and was going to delete it, but can't, with lots of
manual searching.

The order of events was to bring up the manage bookmarks dialog page.
Then I did a search.  BTW, the search facility in Mozilla sucks as well.
With Netscape, a search for a work can be done anywhere in the file.
With Mozilla, the searches are limited to certain fields, and a single
filed at that.  Stupid idea.  I found a link via the search on used it
to go to the site.  The site is no longer there.  The site brought up
a 404 page and another page.  Closing the page crashed Mozilla :-(
In any event, after getting back to the search list, I discovered there was
no way to delete the entry from the search list.

How the Hell do the maintainers of the software expect anyone to be able
to find an entry in a large list in order to be able to delete it?  Someone
certainly didn't think about this one.  The Netscape method of managing
bookmarks worked great.  They changed it and broke it.

Now to try an report this as an error in bugzilla.

If anyone knows how to find and delete bookmarks, other than using a text
editor on the raw file, please let us know.

Thanks.

It gets read into a login

1. At the time of login.
2. When one types 'source /etc/profile'
3. When it's read in by a script, but then it disappears when the script
finishes running.
4. At boot. Actually it's #1 above because it isn't used until one
actually logs in. Crontab doesn't use it, processes don't use it, scripts
don't use it unless called (really rare and not advised). Only logged-in

There was an interesting discussion on this issue on the kernel mailing
list:

  http://kt.linuxcare.com/kernel-traffic/kt20001225_99.epl#5

Because of changes that Microsoft is making to NTFS in W2K and Whistler,
you seem to be better off using a shared VFAT partition, even for read-only.

The inclination among kernel developers tended toward removing NTFS
support from the mainstream kernel entirely.

I just checked on my system, and it seems to me that the "NTFS read only"
choice is _not_ enabled by default in the kernel.  By the way, there was a
recent discussion in the linux-kernel list about the read-write option.  Do

'Doze-2K can do vfat or ntfs. It's selectable during install. It seems
you chose the latter.

The kernel supports ntfs but, doesn't usually support it stock (I don't
think so, anyway). You can recompile and add it as a builtin or a module.
Or, you can reinstall 'Doze and choose vfat.

I haven't personally used it. But, a friend bought and installed it and
says he was told by M$ that he should choose vfat unless he's on a 'Doze
network because of various options and services he wouldn't otherwise
need.

Hi Harry,

NT 4.0 and W2000 both use NTFS.  Linux can mount NTFS but you have to
recompile the kernel.

A better option is to set up a fat partition and install W2000 on it.
Either way, you will need to install Windows, than Linux;  Windows will
overwrite the entire MBR.

Thanks for the tips Hal.

The alias was there alright so still can't see why it isn't being
`found' but something of a moot point now.

I needed to get this machine running in X so went for the big
`Hammer'.  Removed all XFree packages then ran an upgrade install.

Why does the upgrade replace so many things that are the current
version?  But any way... It cured my problem so I'll never know for
sure what the derfugalty was.

2.2.16 Kernel & that "other" filesystem

[Harry Putnam]

I finally broke down and got my wife a separate computer.  She wants
nothing to do with linux.  Now we have a `his' and `hers' setup.

No more reboots for my machine.

This new machine is running windows 2000 the NT version.

I wanted to put a small linux installation on it, for my own use when
necessary, so installed 7.0 on a third drive.

Not knowing much about windows:
I hadn't realized that win2000 NT runs a different filesystem, not vfat.
Also doesn't seem to have a handy way to get the underlying dos OS. 
Doesn't have an `fdisk' either.

I was even more suprised to find that the 2.2.16-22 kernel with 7.0
doesn't grok the win2000 filesytem and can't mount it.  Linux fdisk
reports it as: 
ID  system
7   HPFS/NTFS

Attempts to mount it tell me the kernel doesn't support it.

Checking the `documentation' with kernel source package:

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/
There is documentation for both:
hpfs.txt  ntfs.txt

HPFS is apparently for OS/2, and the `ntfs' option returns:
mount -tntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos2000
mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel

However the documentation file sighted above talks as if it should be
able to mount this filesystem. At least readonly, and doesn't mention
a need to recompile the kernel.

Anyone here know if this is the correct `type' and if the kernel
should support it by default?

man pages - how to capture to text file with proper formatting

[Bob Hartung]

Hi again,
  There are times that I would like to print some of the man
pages to read through when away from the computer.  Is there
a way to capture a particular man page to a text file that
will have proper formatting?

TIA

Here's another brainstorm...

Have you run fsck?  you might have a corrupted filesystem.  the only other
thing I can think of is if root's UID has been changed.  open up /etc/passwd
and check that root has UID 0 (root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash).

I may be way off on this, but is root affected by 'sticky' bits?  you might
try 'chmod 777 {filename}' to give everyone full access and then delete

 I have no experience with Solaris nor it's bootloader, but you should make 
sure the Solaris bootloader is installed on /dev/hdd1.
 Another scheme would be to reference /dev/hdd, and put "solo" on that MBR.
 Hope this helps,

them.  I never even thought about doing this but I will probably use it now :)

If you mean proxy settings, you can tell your browsers to get their

makes it easy to centralize things.  There's a brief tutorial on this

lilo tri-boot question

[Kirk]

Hello,

Im setting up a tri boot system. Im running into a snag. How to boot
Solaris 8 with lilo. I have solaris on hdd, here is my lilo.conf


default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
other=/dev/hdc1
label=FreeBSD
table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/hdd1
label=solaris

the table command returned errors this way doesnt, but will not boot into
solaris, just hang. I could not find anything in the man page regarding
Solaris. Linux and BSD boot just fine.

Any hints or pointers to some docs regarding booting  solaris with lilo
would be greatly appreciated.

You should use "/etc/rc.d/init.d/named reload".  This will update named's
running configuration while keeping all the lock files and flags updated.
If you want to do it manualy, without changing the pid of named, use
"/usr/sbin/ndc reload".

Harry-

This is the behavior I see when I have the irq for the serial port screwed
up.  I takes a long time to get anything working and certain parts of the
connection time out before the modem responds

make sure the serial port is setup correctly using setserial /dev/ttyS?
(where ? is the number of the port)  I was using an internal modem from a
different machine and the port was setup to use irq5 or some thing like that
and I had a lot of trouble with it until I realized what was happening.

Once you know the settings you can use set serial to set it:

setserial /dev/ttyS0 irq=5

or something similar, I forget the exact command  I used.

An irq conflict will also cause this sort of behavior.

BTW I use minicom to trouble shoot stuff like this since I get a feel for how
well the modem is responding.

Re: International keyboard and Gnome

[Manuel A. Camacho Q.]

> Do you happen to have a link to any online document on this issue?  I'm

Nop.

But what I did is as follows. I used kbdconfig until I got the kbd set
as I wanted in text mode. As my keyboard is a Happy Hacking one, it does
not have Spanish keys "per se", such as "ñ" or accents. It is an English
pc102 keyboard, actually.

What you have to do is edit /etc/X11/XF86Config . Go to the Input
Devices Keyboard section, and at the end you will find the actual
commands used for the setup of the keyboard 

   XkbKeycodes "xfree86"
   XkbTypes"default"
   XkbCompat   "default"
   XkbSymbols  "us(pc101)"
   XkbGeometry "pc"
   XkbRules"xfree86"
   XkbModel"pc102"
   XkbLayout   "us_intl"
EndSection

This make it work as an Spanish kbd. Similar process should work for any
other kbd setup.

YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THIS EVERY TIME YOU RUN XCONFIGURATOR OR ANY
OTHER XFREE SETUP TOOL.

-Manuel.

I don't know if there is a way to do this with rpm or not, does not look
like it from the options listed in the man pages.  As mentioned though, this
can be done with mc.

from within mc, drill into the rpm.  It will be opened in a virtual file
system.  Drillinto the cpio.contents file and viola! the files contained in
the rpm are open for your perusing pleasure.   I believe you can copy them
to where ever you want.

As to how mc does this I do not know but there ought to be a way to

 Did you make the windows partition bootable? Use a dos floppy and issue a

 I guess you'll have to set your BIOS clock. You can do this via the BIOS

You could first set your systemclock using "ntpdate ". You can find a

nope, no good without an external (ethernet) modem either.

His current choices appear to be

1. get an external modem, and he can do what he wants after that
(linux/linksys router/windows/whatever).

2. add another nic to you me box, use me as your NAT box (and live in

FWIW, I have used the linksys product and like it, but it falls short of a
linux box when you start getting "fancy" with your net config.

Also. I too thought about using a *bsd for my new firewall decided a bsd

7.0 comes with both. You have 3.3.6 X server packages installed.

This is the socket for xfs, which probably is not running at this
point, thus no socket there.

It is a common font, and I beleive actually an 'alias' in the misc
font directory on Redhat. This could mean either the font (or dir) is
not there, or is corrupted, or more than likely since the font server
has bailed out, X just can't find any fonts at all. I believe this is
a built in fallback, and X assumes any sane system will have this
font, so it tries it as a last resort.

Most common causes of xfs failure like this is the filesystem where
/tmp is, is full, or something wrong with permissions on /tmp. I'd at
least look at those possibilities.

Look in the fonts.alias file in the above dir for 'fixed'.

RE: ADSL Network

[Johnson, Richard (NY Int)]

Your best bet would be to look at Linksys's product line. They have a 4 port
and a 8 port router/hub/firewall combo for DSL and Cable modems. The 4 port
device allows you to connect up to 254 devices to 1 DSL line. (Obviosuly, by
casdcading Hubs off of one another.) To configure the box simply requires a
browser, it is not OS specific.

Just Trying to be a Team Player.

Hello Good People:

I hope everyone is still having a very good Christmas holiday. I guess I
am because I got the present for my October birthday just in time for
Christmas. My ADSL was hooked up a little over a week ago. Now I'd like
to network all my computers together including sharing the ADSL. What I
have is a Compaq Presario 700 mhz Celeron with Windows ME and an
internal TI ADSL LAN adapter on Ameritech (Prodigy) DSL, a 566 mhz
Celeron generic computer and a 486DX50 and a couple of printers, a
flatbed scanner and a digital camera.

I've noticed that I can get 10/100 tx PCI nic's for $4 and up and 10/100
tx 5 port hubs for $35 and up. I've also heard that the best firewall OS
is OpenBSD and I'm currently running Red Hat 6.2, waiting for 7.2 to be
released. Since I'm so new to all this, I'd like to get a little advice.

What I want is a Linux network connected via a hub to Windows boxes and
Red Hat X.2 boxes connected to ADSL through a Linux firewall (or
ipchains). Ok people, I'm sitting down and got my seatbelt on so let me
have it. What is wrong with this setup and what would you do, you don't
need to be gentle.

Thank you and Happy New Year.

That modem won't work with Linux. You'll need an ethernet modem. Then
you can setup the network however you like.

Good point; also, in reference to the (apparent) need voiced in the
original question, any tinkering with the PATH that affects daemons
like apache and its spawn will require some other work.  But I still
consider rebooting to be a last resort.  I love big uptime numbers.

> The only problem I have with sourcing is that it tends to duplicate the

Though I am happy with the traditional simplicity of the PATH mechanism,
it might be cool to have a more structured tool to manage it.  I generally
use a script for my own login environment, and hook it into my shell 
session via an alias. But I generally don't try and set that up for the
system.

Such a tool might provide neat features like, for example, checking the
contents of the canonical "system" path and reporting on changes since
the last boot. It could provide a privileged API that packages could use
at install time to extend the PATH appropriately without resulting in a
big redundant PATH.

Manuel,

Do you happen to have a link to any online document on this issue?  I'm
referring specifically to a Spanish keyboard, since that's also my native

P.S.: Sending this message to the list because I'm sure other people would

Oh, "a friend".  If I had a nickel for every time I saw that  I bet
your friend writes bad C++ code and doesn't like that 2.96 has proper
C++ support. :-)

In fact, 2.95.2 is less stable, more buggy and all around, not good for
anything (IMHO) other than C code.  The C++ support is terrible.

kgcc == egcs 1.1.2, what you've been using for a while in previous redhat
releases.  The fact of the matter is that egcs and gcc 2.7.2.3 are the 
only "reasonable" choices for kernel compilations.

: Why all this madness... why not stick to standards?

Um, they ARE actually.  2.96 adheres to standards much more closely than
2.95.2 does.

The warnings are harmless. They indicate bad/unportable code in the kernel
(2.96 is much more aware of standards than any other version).

> A friend told me to switch back to
> gcc 2.95.2 because it is more stable..

Don't. gcc 2.95.2 is known to miscompile kernels.
If you want to play it save, use egcs 1.1.2 (installed as kgcc). Using
2.96-69 (make sure you install the update) generates working kernels (such
as the one I'm currently running).

> Why is RH going with a NON release gcc??

Because it's better. It fully supports C++ (unlike all prior
versions), is ISO C99 compliant, generates better code, and (at least the
version from updates) is LESS buggy, and because we don't want to use very
different compilers for different architectures (2.95.x or egcs 1.1.x on
ia64 is a no-go).

> Why do we need to run 2.91.? of kgcc to compile new kernels...

2.95.* is badly broken. Stabilizing it would have been as much work as
stabilizing 2.96.

> Why all this madness... why not stick to standards?

There is no such thing as a standard compiler.
Most of the perceived "bugs" in 2.96 are actually broken code. It isn't
supposed to compile broken constructs that older versions silently
accepted (because they didn't follow standards).
If you want to stick with standards, get 2.96. ;)

Ldap User authentication

[Vineeta]

Hi,
   I have installed Openldap on my linux box and it works great.Now,I
have a requirement that only users having accounts on the server should
be able to access the LDAP information through their clients
i.e.Netscape e.t.c. after proper authentication.
I tried various combinations as follows:
(1)access to *
by dn=".*, o=Orgainsation name", c=IN" read
by * none

(2)access to dn=".*, o=Orgainsation name", c=IN"
by dn=".*, o=Orgainsation name", c=IN" read
by * none

but to no avail...

I need this for my organisation since it can't be released otherwise.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Vineeta

Set fontpath - no startx

[Harry Putnam]

Note: Running Redhat 7.0 with these X packages
XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6-33
XFree86-xdm-4.0.1-1
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.0.1-1

XFree86-devel-4.0.1-1
XFree86-twm-4.0.1-1

NOTE: X installation was running well before the problems described
below occured.

It all started with an attempt to make 100dpi fonts be the default.
We used to do this in XF86Config, by rearranging the list there.  

That changed some time ago, but not clear how to adjust that list now.
The chkfontpath tool looks like a likely candidate since it does allow
reshuffling the order with `--first' and `--add' flags.
Or the xfs `config' file in /etc/X11/fs/config.

Chkfontpath is one of those excessively cryptic, unixy tools with no
manpage, so no way to properly learn how to use it.  `chkfontpath
--help' gives a helpful usage statement to be sure but still plenty of
room to misunderstand.

I attempted to reshuffle the list with it, which seems very cumbersom
and brain dead.

The result was that I now can no longer `startx' getting several error
messges, font related.  An extract from `startx > startx.file 2>&1'

oXFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System

That first line seems a little curious since the main distro package I

This would seem to indicate that the FontPath has been set.  The 
(**) means it was supplied, I think.

Having trouble finding what this `fixed' refers to [more below on
this].

 omach64ProgramClkMach64CT: Warning: Q < 10.6667 X connection to
 o   :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Boilerplate I think..

A full recursive grep of /etc/X11 like:

`grep -r 'fixed'  /etc/X11' returns this information:

   /etc/X11/WindowMaker/WMRootMenu: ("Rxvt", EXEC, "rxvt -bg black -fg
   white -fn fixed"),

I'm not running WindowMaker but Gnome/sawfish

   /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources:XConsole*font:fixed

This looks likely, but I haven't fiddled with this `Xresources' file.

   /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc:+ "Mail"
   MailFunction xmh "-font fixed"

Not running fvwm2 or xmh

   Binary file /etc/X11/X matches

This is probably hard coded, so not a likely source of my problem.

My X installation was working well before I started messing with the
font path, I'm a little lost here as to how to proceed.  Things I've
done so far include:

Re-installed all XFree packages.., Re-configured XF86Config

But I still get the same messages when startx is run.
