Re: citrix on linux
On Thu, 15 Mar 2001, chris asano wrote: Thanks Tom. I'm looking to run server apps. Let me give an analogy. I want to run Word or Excel on a server. It is installed fully on the server. The only thing I have is a dumb terminal with a web browser. If you are looking for something to serve windows apps like word or excel look at something from menta software called WinToNet. I will be evalating it as a potential replacment for our citrix servers. Somehow I doubt it though. If the application is written as client server per X, then of course you can run X Windows. What Citrix does is allow you to take any (desktop) application and effectively make it client-server without the application being rewritten for such. On the Windows world, there is one caveat. To be certified as Citrix compliant, i.e. work reliably with Citrix, the application needs to be compiled with a library that Citrix provides. Otherwise no recoding. I only mentioned PC anywhere since it is similar in the effect that you can access applications runnning on another computer and that most people have used it or know of it. My objective is to write applications in Powerbuilder or Java that run under Linux but are deployed on the web via Citrix like Lunix clone. Because the Java or PB runs on application servers, I can control the environment. Obviously, I would rather not using Windows for the app server. When issues arise, I can manage the system. With thousands of clients, it's impossible to manage the deployment of complex web applications. I've got lots of experience with that. Not sure I understand what you are trying to do here. I do not know what powerbuilder is. If they run under linux and you do not want a bunch of web clients why not just use Xwindows. Set up a bunch of XTerms and now you are in control of the environment. Since this has nothing to do with redhat devel I suggest that if you wish to discuss this further we go to private email or if you want to stay on a list move this discussion to the guinness list (your choice). -- ..Tom Cluelessness: There Are No Stupid Questions, But There Are [EMAIL PROTECTED] LOTS of Inquisitive Idiots. :-) ___ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list

Now that I've actually tried the latest version I have installed, I'll have to amend my previous comments at least somewhat. I can get the taskbar set in a fashion I can use. But, I have to use large icons/small menus and set the number of icons across the bar to a suitable number. It would be better if I could make the icons smaller and add more icons there but, I maxed it out with smaller icons and still had some blank real estate along the edges. Still better than I recall it being before. Just a quit check of the default key shortcuts shows that some of the ones I wanted are installed by default. I don't know when this happened but, it wasn't available to me the last time I tried it. It may or may not have something to do with deleting all old preferences before trying it again. There are still a couple of shortcuts that I'll either have to relearn or hack at (time permitting). Would like if a few features were available as options.

Re: nslookup can't find server name
That's what I thought...the initial "can't find server address 127.0.0.1" isn't coming from the external server...it's coming from your system. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address, also referred to as "localhost"...your system. That error comes up because A) you have 127.0.0.1 listed in your resolv.conf and B) you don't have named running on that machine. Remove 127.0.0.1 from /etc/resolv.conf, and that part of your problem will go away.

There are a number of alternatives, Applixware(???) comes to mind. Do a web search, maybe at freshmeat or tucows. I've installed Corel's WordPerfect and Sun's Star Office, but Star Office seems too integrated to me. Does anyone know of a product like star office that does not have its own desktop, but rather utilized the gnome desktop or KDE. I would like a word processor, spreadsheet, etc. that all work well together and easily? Abiword seemed like a good start for a word processor, but I have not kept up on it either. (I guess one thing I hate about star office is the desktop, if I wanted something that looks like windows I'll boot up 98 and start office.) Well, that's you isn't it? The easiest way for Linux to get on the desktop is to provide a Windows front end with more stability and performance. You and I and others on the list might not shy away from new experiences. The masses in general don't want things to change and are not interested in new applications.

Re: inetd
This could be any number of things. I know I see these kinds of messages when certain Windows telnet clients log off. Of course, I also saw these error messages back before I updated to the latest inetd in up2date. You might also double check the max number of instances in inetd.conf. I have a situation where users execute commands remotely on my linux server through rcp and rsh, and with the default of 40 instances / 60 seconds was causing my users to be rejected with these messages in the logs. I ended up increasing the max to 400, and that, combined with the eratta updates fixed my problems. The inetd man page explains the max instances pretty well. So, basically, it depends on what process is running that is generating these exit statuses. It could be nothing to worry about, or it could be a really nasty problem.

samba shares problem
To all, I am hoping that someone can give a lead or answer to my problem. I have two RH linux servers with 2.2.16 kernal and kimberlite failover. Both are configed using Samba 2.07. The smb.conf file is in the cluster directory on both servers. Locks and log files are on shared disk space. What I am seeing is this. Occasionally, and sometimes after failover, my Samba shares become inaccessible to clients that have had drive mappings made. Initially the mappings work fine, then, after failover or any network interruption, the user gets a error that the network name is no longer valid. If I create a new share or recreate an existing share, the user is fine. I can even create a new share below the current one and the user can map to the new one but not the existing one. Also, this is not a general occurrence as I can go to a different Win box, in the same and different subnets, and access the existing shares. I have not seen this on a RH linux server with the same kernal and Samba but not in failover. Cannot say if that is the problem piece but I am looking as to why that might cause a problem. Can anyone answer or at least point me in a good direction? I'm about to break out my sniffer and start looking at packets.

I agree with you Chad. if I wanted something that looks like windows I'll boot up 98 and start office.) I don't like SO5.1 (which i assume you are refering to). The good news is that SO 6.0 doesn't have this file manager thingy though it does insist on taking you into a wp doc first. The bad news is that lots of things don't work. Clicking on help does nothing, trying to "SaveAs" an excel file crashes out of the program and I can no way to set up my printer. Its the usual bugger to install as well. It does seem to load faster than the previous version though. I think they have released a beta so that we will bug test it for them.. I'm quite happy with WP8 (as long as I don't spell check my documents -which hangs the system) but I could really use a decent linux spreadsheet (don't anyone say gnomesheet). I colleague installed applixware suite on his system and that looked quite good. NH. Well, that's you isn't it?

Re: Bugreport, what's being done?
Hi Trond,
Also I seem to have the option to assign this bug to someone. Should
I do this, or leave it as new?
Don't do that (now, if someone were just bright enough to realize that
"severity: high" in 99% of the cases isn't the correct level for the
bug they just submitted...)
Well, I had some doubts about the severity level. This bugreport is about the
fact that init logs every message with level LOG_INFO. So not a bug in the
strict sense, but I chose severity level "low" instead of "enhancement"
because I feel this behaviour needs improvement and "enhancement" might not be
looked at in the near future. Maybe I should even have chosen "normal".
Another thing, do you think the report is less closely examined since I
posted using Win-98 ;)?
FYI, this is bugreport #29406. Although the patch I wrote seems to function
on my system (only added a true loglevel parameter to the code for the log
function) I have some questions as for the appropriate log level to use. Fe,
the kernel uses LOG_WARN for "normal" messages. I feel this to be the
appropriate log level for most init messages as well ("entering runlevel").
Also I am not sure if a segmentation fault should be logged with level LOG_ERR
or higher.
Thanx for your interest,
Bye,
Leonard.

Gary,
To have one DNS server use a specific DNS server or servers
instead of going to the root servers when it doesn't have the
information, you need to tell it the servers to use in your named.conf
file. In the option section, you need:
forwarders {
exY IP;
ISP DNS1;
ISP DNS2;
};
For example, I have:
forwarders {
216.227.56.20;
216.227.112.50;
216.227.0.100;
};

The problem is that your local name server doesn't have a reverse DNS
listing for 127.0.0.1, so when it trys to look up its own name when it
is answering on 127.0.0.1, it doesn't get an answer. One way to fix it
is to add one more zone file to your /etc/named.conf file.
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
notify no;
type master;
file "db.127.0.0";
};
and the db.127.0.0 file could look like this:
$TTL 1d

Do this from /home. This *might* fix it. Maybe someone else will have a better idea though... I'd try this as a last resort. ;-) John ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: [TLUG]: chkconfig
I'm running RH 6.2 and and I want to add a startup script for apache in the init.d dir, so I copied the apachectl script to the init.d dirthen I ran chkconfig --add apachectl I received back: service apachectl does not support chkconfig anyway, so I renamed the apachectl scirpt to httpd and tried again and I received the same error service httpd does not support chkconfig why can't chkconfig add these script names??? What you need is an apache or httpd sysv script. apachectl is something entirely different, which is actually what the sysv script is likely to use to do it's job. Redhat should already have included httpd as a script that you can chance the runlevels of if apache is installed. You can't just add random scripts to init.d. It won't work.

Dual domains on Postfix
I just set up a Postfix mail server on RedHat 7.0 (with qpopper and dracd) for one domain. I also administer another domain which I want to see handled by the new Postfix server. Does anyone have any good suggestions regarding a clean and efficient setup for two domains? I could add another NIC and keep the IP and ISP's MX records for mail.domain2.com or assign a virtual IP accordingly. I am mostly wondering about merging the necessary settings for domain 2 into domain1's configuration files. What's the best logical setup? (BTW, the same users exist for both domains, they simply pick a primary account, the secondary forwards at this time). Thanks!

1 gig memory
Hello- I've got a system with 1 gig of memory (to go with the 1 gig processor). I've edited lilo.conf to include "append="mem=1024M"", run "lilo -v", and rebooted. When I run "free -m", the system only shows 895(? 885 ?) meg, and not 1024. What am I doing wrong? Or, is there a limitation in the kernel?

Re: Dual domains on Postfix
You don't need to add a second NIC for this. I'd go ahead with the virtual IP for the web hosting part, set the MX to point to your mail server, and then use Postfix's "mydestination" and/or "virtualmaps" options for the virtual domains' mail requirements.

Thanks for your time. What your friend is doing should work (it works for me) -- off the top of my head, I can think of two reasons why it might not be working: one of the two "exec..." lines is not commented out, or the ownership/permissions of the .xinitrc file do not allow the user running "startx" to read the file. What happens if he edits the .xinitrc file, and completely removes all lines except "exec startkde" (if he can't edit it, then the ownership/permissions are wrong)? Does kde still bomb? If so, then there is probably something wrong with his kde installation. You and your wife each have your own use account, right? So make your .xinitrc file read "exec startkde" and your wife's .xinitrc file read "exec gnome-session". __ Larry Grover, PhD Assoc Prof of Physiology Marshall Univ Sch of Med ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
