Re: Is there ever going to any logic to the rpm updates version numbers??????

2001-11-15 Thread Leonard den Ottolander

Hi Vincent,

 That means that I'm following the patches for every RH
 version very closely since we auto-modify the base distributions on the install
 servers in order to provide pre-patched installable distributions.. (except for
 RH6.2, of course, since the new rh6.2 packages are built with rpm4 and this
 breaks the instimage directory on our install servers so we had to freeze
 rh6.2 at 2.2.17-14 and have the new installs patched afterwards)

 Just a side question. Did you (or anyone else) ever try to rebuild the 
instimage dir? Any good docs on this that you can recommend?

Bye,

Leonard.

Your system is telling you that you need a UPS.

Seriously, though, you are going to have this happen any time you do not 
properly shut down your system before turning it off. As in any modern 
operating system, there are files that are open and being accessed by the 
system all the time. A proper shutdown procedure allows for those files to be 
closed so that when the system shuts down, nothing is left hanging. IF, on 
the other hand, the system is just powered off, all those files that were 
open remain open, and when you boot up again, your system has to go through 
all of your partitions and check each file to be sure that it wasn't damaged 
by the loss of power while it was in a state that data could be corrupted or 
lost. The only way to prevent that is to ensure that your system keeps its 
power supply until it's been properly halted. And it sounds like that means 
you need a UPS, if you are getting power outages often enough to be noticed.

Seriously, though, you are going to have this happen any time you do not
properly shut down your system before turning it off.

If he has new hardware, he can just use the shutdown option on the login
screen, turn off the monitor, and walk away.

If he has older hardware, he might consider upgrading to the new ext3
journaling filesystem. A proper shutdown is still best, but if there is no
valuable data to be lost, ext3 is an option.

I have a PC functioning as an Xterminal that I'm going to upgrade to ext3
just so I can turn it off without doing a shutdown. The gdm login screen
for an Xterminal does not have a shutdown option, and if it did, it would
shutdown the main system, not the Xterminal. So I have to switch to an
alternate virtual terminal and start a reboot (Ctrl-Alt-F9, Ctrl-Alt-Del),
then wait for the shutdown to finish and the reboot to start before I can
safely turn off the box and monitor. It's a pain. I expect ext3 to allow
me to avoid this process.

Re: RAID 1 question

2001-11-15 Thread Leonard den Ottolander

Hi Justin,

 I'm wondering if anyone's tried to raid a fat partition on a dual boot
 system?  I know booting dos would throw the raid out of sync, would there
 be a way to resynchronize it after?

 Not sure what the point of this would be, but I guess it could be done. But 
after every reboot to linux the kernel will have to recreate the (whole) 
device (it will do this automatically).
 If you want to use this as a way to backup your dos system I would suggest 
you try to figure out another way (fe tar and gzip).

Another way to do it (thanks to Matthew Melvin
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]):

The ident command (which is part of the RCS package) can be used to extract
keywords and their values from a file. This can be handy for text files, but
it is even more useful for extracting keywords from binary files. 

$ ident samp.c
samp.c:
 $Id: samp.c,v 1.5 1993/10/19 14:57:32 ceder Exp $
$ gcc samp.c
$ ident a.out
a.out:
 $Id: samp.c,v 1.5 1993/10/19 14:57:32 ceder Exp $

SCCS is another popular revision control system. It has a command, what,
which is very similar to ident and used for the same purpose. Many sites
without RCS have SCCS. Since what looks for the character sequence @(#) it
is easy to include keywords that are detected by either command. Simply
prefix the RCS keyword with the magic SCCS phrase, like this: 

static char *id=@(#) $Id: ab.c,v 1.5 1993/10/19 14:57:32 ceder Exp $;

 Where do I start. (I have read everything that I can get my hands on but

 server I get my mail from and I have no problems with either Mac or

First, you'll need to decide on an email client. Whatever one you want
to use is up to you. Whichever one you choose, make sure you read the
man page, and maybe do some searching on how to configure it to do what
you want. Make sure /var/spool/mail/yourUsername exists. If not, become
root and do: touch /var/spool/mail/yourUsername. Change the owner and
group to you (not root) and chmod 660.

Next you'll need to set up fetchmail. Put this in ~/.fetchmailrc:

poll your.mailserver.com proto pop3 user yourUsername pass yourPassword

... and start by typing fetchmail.

Sendmail can be a pain to configure if you've never done it before, but
don't be scared off by it. It's still the best MTA out there, I believe.
This is where we need to know if you're on dial-up or not. When you
answer back, I can tell you how to set up sendmail, or at least point
you in the right direction.

Re: Private LANs FQDN

Set up a zone, for which your main server is primary.  You can do the same 
for the reverse zone for the private network.  Then, as long as you set 
the main server as the primary name server in the client machines' 
resolv.conf files, you should be ok.

 Also,  is there a better alternative then using xhost to be able to do

 what it is.

Well, I don't know why some things seem to run su root and others don't but I
think I can answer your second question. I use xauth to allow root to connect
to X. You essentially run xauth as you, look up what your current host key is
and then su root and add this key with xauth to root's list of keys. I am not
sure exactly what the naming convention is for those keys, I always take the
one saying .../unix:1 and it always worked for me.

It requires the data to be sorted so that identical entries are on

  sort  datafile | uniq  new_datafile

If you need to keep the duplicate data or allow for variations in case,
use some of the options described in the man page.

Well, given that the commands that you were given (sort, uniq) should do
the work you asked about, if you DO want to step through a file and terminate
when you reach EOF, the simplest  on the order of:

exec 0$1;
while read INLINE

If you didn't want to lose control of stdin, you can use file descriptors

Note that there's no way to assign that file descriptor to a variable,

Compaq Proliant DL360 portmapper hangs after upgrade to kernel 2.4.3

2001-11-15 Thread Matthews, John

Hello,

I have a Compaq proliant DL360 server running Red Hat 6.2 which has
been upgraded to kernel 2.4.3.   Upon boot up the machine hangs on starting
portmapper.  I re-compiled the kernel, disabling the Ethernet card and
everything works excluding network connections.  I am guessing I have some
problem relating to the Ethernet card or possibly some utilities which are
involved in network usage.  I read that Compaq PC's should use the e100
driver opposed to eepro100 which Red Hat uses by default.  I compiled and
installed the e100 driver and edited modules.conf so that it will use
that driver for eth0. I rebooted and the same problem existed, hanging on
starting portmapper.  I'm now beginning to wonder if I need to upgrade
portmapper to work correctly with 2.4.3.  I've never seen this problem
before and would appreciate ANY help or suggestions people on this list
have.

Probably the easiest way to get your mail running overall, and correctly is to go to 
the URL above, and get the perl script install-sendmail.  Follow the simple directions 
provided; it will a) configure sendmail so that 'doug@homenetwork' goes to the outside 
world as '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' or whatever you want, for multiple users, b) setup 
fetchmail to poll your mailbox at your ISP as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and deliver it to your 
local mail spool '/var/spool/mail/doug', and several other options that I've never 
needed to use personally.  After this, about the only things left to do is point 
Netscape at /var/spool/mail/doug for picking up the mail, and to add the fetchmail 
command to your dialup scripts.  My mail provider (yahoo!) requires 
pop-auth-before-smtp-send, so I just put a post-connect statement in my .fetchmailrc 
like:

POSTCONNECT '/usr/sbin/sendmail -q' 

This way everytime I run fetchmail, it gets my new mail and sends any outgoing.  Just 
configure Netscape to deliver outgoing mail to the localhost port 25.  Works like a

 Why do I get the following message when I log into a root account?

 The problem doesn't stem from my /etc/bashrc, /etc/profile,

It seems to be related to the latest util-linux update - there's a bug
report in bugzilla.

Looks like [EMAIL PROTECTED] has some updates that will hopefully fix
the problem and be officially released soon. I haven't tried them yet

440GX Errors

2001-11-15 Thread Bob Staaf

Hello all,

 I have followed the various threads relating to the apic errors on
440GX based machines.  I did not have any problems installing enigma
normally or using linux apic as suggested.  I would up booting the
installer using linux apic just in case.  Anyway, I am seeing a couple of
errors that I would like to know more about, one related directly to the
440GX bios.  The following are snippets from dmesg.  What is Unknow bridge
resource referring to and what can I do about it?  Has anyone else seen
this one?

lm_sensors and kernel modules

2001-11-15 Thread Nicolas Bock

Hi,

I tried to post this before, but I think unsuccessfully, so let me try this
again: I am trying to use lm_sensors to monitor my cpu's temperature. As far
as I understand the documentation of this program I will need some kernel
modules that can read out the sensor hardware of my computer. I don't know
though where to find these, as far as I can tell there are not in the
lm_sensors rpm. Does anyone know where I can find them? Do I have to get some
source from somewhere and compile the modules by myself? I know that they are
in the modules shipped with RH7.2, but what do I do if I have compiled my own
kernel?

Thanks already, nick

Re: Anyone get Oracle 8.0.5 installed on Red Hat 7.0-7.2???

2001-11-15 Thread Ezra Nugroho

Install it using kernel 2.2*, after that upgrade.

If it doesn't work, install it in 6.2, tar-gz the install directory, copy 
it to the 7.* machine and untar it.
After that you just need to copy the oracle scripts in /etc/profile.d and 
/etc/ld.so.conf.
Run ldconfig, and it's oracle is going to run.

One site you can read:
http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/
but it doesn't tell you much how to install 8.0.5 in  RH 7.*

At 01:09 PM 11/14/2001 -0800, you wrote:


I know there is the glibc issue which requires the patch and the relink 
against the compat rpm's.
However, this patch requires that you install Oracle first, then patch. I 
cannot get Oracle to
install at all. It dies in the link phase. I tried applying the patch to 
the install staging area
and this did not work.

Once again, I am trying to install Oracle 8.0.5 on a Red Hat 7.2 system. 
(I know I should be
running 8i or even 9i but are Pro C stuff will not work with 8i yet)

Give them internet names!  The extension can be anything you want.  For
example, foo.nelson is a valid FQDN as long your local nameserver is
authoritative for the .nelson domain.

Personally, I registered a name through the NIC and that gave me the option
of bringing it online later without changing all the host names.  So, for
exmaple, register patricknelson.org (assuming it's available), configure
all your internal hosts accordingly, and you're in business if sometime
down the road you want your internal hosts to have external connectivity.
Again, make sure your hosts have valid DNS.  I personally use bind 9 in a
split mode - lookups from the internal network get returned internal
addresses (ie, 192.168.) and lookups from the external network get rejected
(although you could have them return external addresses).

 Hey, Doug.

 Can you answer these for me?

 What type of connection do you have between you and
 the mailserver (dail-up, cable, DSL, LAN)?
 Can you ping the mail server you're trying to connect to?
 Can you telnet to port 110?
 Does running `fetchmail -v` with the following in your .fetchmailrc
 file do anything:
 poll SERVER proto pop3 user USER password PASS fetchall

 where SERVER is the name of the machine you're connecting to,
 USER your username and PASS your password.

Matrox G400 problem

2001-11-15 Thread Massimo Alonzo

Hi,

I've a strange problem with my Video card and I don't know how to solve 
it:

Recently I changed my pc's motherboard (from Asus P2B to Abit KG7-Lite 
using an AMD XP 1500 processor) and my video card is always the same, 
Matrox G400 (AGP) , but now games like Tux Racer or Chromium are really 
slow.

When I tried them with Asus P2B I had no problem.

What happened? 
How can I solve?


These are the installed packages:

XFree86-4.1.0-3
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.1.0-3
XFree86-tools-4.1.0-3
XFree86-devel-4.1.0-3

XFree86-xdm-4.1.0-3

I checked also the  bios and agp is enabled.

The items for NAT are included in that kernel, already.  If it doesn't 
work for you, and you're upgrading from ipchains to iptables/netfilter, 
then you should beware that NAT is done post-routing.  That is, setting 
your forward policy to DENY and adding rules for MASQ was OK under 
ipchains, but won't work under iptables.  For iptables, if you set the 
forward policy to DENY, then you must add rules in the forward table to 
allow routing for the host you want to masquerade *and* a rule to the nat 
table to masquerade them.

 I'm just not sure what is the best way to name systems on the private side

 problems with it.  Like NIS and SendMail.  What is the best way to name
 systems on a LAN behind a firewall that don't have internet names?

You can call them anything you like, but if you expect sendmail to
recognize them, you'll have to set up and properly configure a private
DNS server.  MX records are required for that to work.  Most other 
traffic (file transfers, logins, and whatnot) don't need that 
complexity; you can just populate /etc/hosts on your workstations and 
be happy.

passing options to ssh when used as rsync tracport

2001-11-15 Thread Bret Hughes

Is there a way to pass options to ssh when it is used as an rsync
transport?

for instance when I run :
rsync --rzLtvc --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh localfile remotemachine:/

it works but I have a situation with a machine that I need to be able to
use a different username on the remote machine.

something like:
rsync --rzLtvc --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh -l username  localfile
remotemachine:/

does not work.  it would also be nice to see some of the ssh messages
with a -v for troubleshooting.

Any tips appreciated.

Try the above command and see if you get the same results that I did.

Strange behaviour of dhcp client

2001-11-15 Thread Mariusz Pekala

Hello,
I have two interfaces: eth0 - configured by dhcp server (not mine - I cannot 
check its config and logs) and eth1 - with static IP.
When system goes up I see failures with eth0, but everything works mostly OK. 
The eth0 interface works. The only small trouble is that usually I canot 
renew the same IP address after a few hours - I got a new one, so (say) 
long-working downloads fail.
I have ipchains set with rather restrictive policy: everything that I don't 
need or I don't know is blocked (icmp is not blocked, incoming udp packets 
from ports bootps:bootpc are allowed, every incoming tcp connection is 
rejected). 
Do you have any clues what may be wrong? If I remember, these errors didn't 
occur some long time ago... 


Here is part of my boot log:

lis 15 16:02:31 localhost logger: punching nameserver [cut away] through

Then there's unfortunately nothing you can do about the short lease
time.  The server should, however, be giving you back the same address
you had if it's available, leading me to believe that you may be on a
very busy network that's short on leases.  In such a case, you'd
probably also expect to see occasional failures to renew, if there
were no leases available at the moment.  That might explain some of
what you're seeing.

You may be a good candidate for a download manager that can resume
when you go down and come back on a different IP.

I have ipchains set with rather restrictive policy: everything that I don't 
need or I don't know is blocked (icmp is not blocked, incoming udp packets 
from ports bootps:bootpc are allowed, every incoming tcp connection is 
rejected). 

You'll find iptables much easier to deal with in this regard.  Not 
necessary to poke so many holes.

Up at that level, you won't find many PC's used as routers.  The PCI bus 
is too much of a bottleneck for GigE routing.  Expensive switches and 
routers have bandwidth-rich backplanes not available in beige box 
computers.  You also aren't likely to find machines with hundreds of 
routes without requiring the kind of bandwidth that PC's can't handle.

In general, I can't think of a real middle ground.  In most cases, a PC
running Linux will either be more than sufficient or not even close.

Redhat 7.2 100Mbit SMC1211TX

2001-11-15 Thread Ashwin Kutty

Hi,

I had a machine with 7.1 on it and for my SMC1211TX 10/100 card the 
driver 8139too was being used and I used mii diagnostics to set it at a 
100Mbit Full Duplex cause I have that sort of a connection on my LAN 
line.. Now, that I upgraded to 7.2 it has set it to 10Mbit Full Duplex 
and using mii-tool I cant set it back to 100 Mbit.. I mean I run the 
command correctly and I get no errors to Force it but when I query the 
adapter via mii-tool after that it still says 10Mbit..

Anyone know of a solution to this problem.. BTW I have tried this on 
different machines, both with an upgrade and a fresh install.. I am 
guessing the driver and the libraries are being updated as well, but how 
do I set it to 100Mbit?

Any ideas would be great, thank you..

Subject: 440GX Errors


 Hello all,

  I have followed the various threads relating to the apic errors on
 440GX based machines.  I did not have any problems installing enigma
 normally or using linux apic as suggested.  I would up booting the
 installer using linux apic just in case.  Anyway, I am seeing a couple
of
 errors that I would like to know more about, one related directly to the
 440GX bios.  The following are snippets from dmesg.  What is Unknow
bridge
 resource referring to and what can I do about it?  Has anyone else seen
 this one?

 This second message also has me concerned, anyone else seeing this one?

 Thanks in advance for any help!  The server boots and runs fine but,
errors
 tend to get on my nerves no matter how small and I would like to know more
 about them.

I'm just not sure what is the best way to name systems on the private side

So it seems that I call my systems 
 a. hostname.localdomain but I'm not sure if that would work across my
private network
 b. hostname.privatedomain w/ DNS server which is more of a total TCPIP
solution

OK hmm...  Well I'm of course not doing a DNS now, but think that that
sounds intriguing!

I'm guessing here but what would I need to do and what would it look like.

1.  Get Bind and install it.
2.  Edit the bind so that I have a local private domain as well as my public
one (split DNS?)
3.  Edit the nameservers on the private network to point to this new DNS
server rather than the ISPs nameservers that they currently point to.
4.  Test!

Does that about map out the process?  So is it hard to set that up (should I
be afraid...very afraid)?  Any suggestions or comments from the trenches of
Bind Gurus!

  That looks a little odd, especially the repeated modprobes for block

  You didn't run kudzu or something did you?  Or have a backup

nfs mounted /usr/local: linux client, Solaris server - need help

2001-11-15 Thread Brian K. Jones

Hi all,

We have a setup that allows everyone to use the same binaries, which 
makes supporting and updating software a whole lot easier.  We build 
a /linux/local on a Solaris server that gets exported to the clients 
as /usr/local, and all's well. 

My question is this:  I've never set up this kind of thing 
personally, and I'm in charge of building the /linux64/local tree on 
the Sun box, which will hold binaries for the redhat-ia64 platform.  

Right now, I'm trying to just mount /linux64/local to some random 
directory on an Itanium box, and I'm planning to just install 
everything with some flag akin to --prefix=/linux64/local.  Will this 
cause issues with /libs?  What other issues do I need to look out 
for?  Anyone done this (I'm sure) ?  How do YOU add software to YOUR 
NFS mounted /usr/local?

Thanks for the input.

Re: Strange behaviour of dhcp client

On Thu 15 November 2001 20:02, you (David Talkington) wrote:
 Then there's unfortunately nothing you can do about the short lease
 time.  The server should, however, be giving you back the same address
 you had if it's available, leading me to believe that you may be on a
 very busy network that's short on leases.  In such a case, you'd
 probably also expect to see occasional failures to renew, if there
 were no leases available at the moment.  That might explain some of
 what you're seeing.

I was wondering if I should a little increase the lease renewal frequency in 
my client...

 You may be a good candidate for a download manager that can resume
 when you go down and come back on a different IP.

I mostly use ncftp/ncftpget and wget. The first one is able to resume 
downloads, the second I feel to like more (I don't know why) but it lacks the 
ability to use passive ftp (I have to temporary allow incoming ftp-data 
connections)

 You'll find iptables much easier to deal with in this regard.  Not
 necessary to poke so many holes.

It's in my shedule... for tomorrow :)
Before I start RTFM : is it relatively simple to translate the ipchains rules 
to iptables rules?

  I was just trying to suggest things that might try to load modules;
 I've seen console messages like these with older versions of kudzu.

  The most plausible explanation I can see is that some process is
 trying to read files in /dev/, such as some kind of backup, or maybe
 a misconfigured tripwire or other tool.  Each time a /dev/xxx file
 is opened for a non-existent device, the kernel calls /sbin/modprobe
 with {block,char}-major-XX to see if it can handle the device.

  Do you have any cron jobs running at that time, or has anyone run
 a manual process that might have opened those device files?


Bill,

 Its a fresh install of RHL 7.2.  I did a custom install with minimal
partitions and chose the web server package group.  There are no users other
than me and no one was running anything at the time.

I just discovered the cause of these errors.  They correspond exactly to

install of Enigma with all patches including kernel.  It is a VA Linux 2240

Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated!

Can you telnet to the machine normally?

If it times out, you've got connection issues. Possibly firewall. If it

Problem Tracker

2001-11-15 Thread Travis McCarter

Does anyone know of a web-based application that runs on Linux that will
enable me
to open and search problem tickets, such as for keeping track of helpdesk
requests?  I
would like to be web based so that I can access it from anywhere.  It would
also be a plus
if it was free or at least low cost.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: setting up email

2001-11-15 Thread Doug Piper

All of you have helped me solve a bit of the mystery. The POP3 server is at
quality.qadas.com. which is one of 3 IP addresses for qadas.com. One
question is why were you able to resolve 204.227.16.4 from qadas.com while
I need to use quality.qadas.com? Perhaps it is just the order of IP
addresses in my PPP setup?

Another question: I also tried telnet to 204.227.16.4 110 but was unable to
get anything. Maybe it was just the phone line or network problems today.

Unfortunately, today we are experiencing multiple  problems from Qwest
(Qworst previously US Worst) phone lines or something else so that I so far
haven't be able to get futher. I am sending this message on a Mac.

And then about configuring Sendmail?

Thanks,
Doug

 That's a pretty big clue.  But that does seem to be a POP server:

 Try the above command and see if you get the same results that I did.
 If not, my guess is that you've got a firewall in your way.

Which is a meaningless concept on UNIX.

Most likely he wants to know when he his the end of stdin (or whatever
he's reading).  There's only one input function in the shell itself,
being read, which fails at EOF. Thus one says things like:

while read line
do  echo The line was: $line
done

which will read lines until the read fails at EOF, and exit the loop.

Mailman - How is it doing this?

2001-11-15 Thread Darryl Harvey

I have a 7.2 installation,

I have installed Mailman, but do not want to run it yet and have not
configured it.

But in the cron logs I see entries like;

Nov 16 10:55:00 slab CROND[4628]: (mailman) CMD (/usr/bin/python -S
/var/mailman/cron/qrunner)
Nov 16 10:55:00 slab CROND[4629]: (mailman) CMD (/usr/bin/python -S
/var/mailman/cron/gate_news)
Nov 16 10:56:01 slab CROND[4706]: (mailman) CMD (/usr/bin/python -S

Nov 16 10:59:01 slab CROND[4818]: (mailman) CMD (/usr/bin/python -S
/var/mailman/cron/qrunner)


I want to disable this from running?  How do I do this?

I cannot find any entry in chkconfig for mailman, I find no entries in
any crontab file or /etc/cron.d

How do I turn this damn thing off?

Help please?

The log tells you that it's running with the mailman user
permissions.  Look in /var/spool/cron for a file called 'mailman' - that's
your cron.  I wouldn't just delete it if I were you, but instead *copy* it
elsewhere first, then log in as the user 'mailman' (or su to it) and type
in: crontab -r

That will delete all crontab entries for the user mailman.

IPtables log pharser

2001-11-15 Thread Kirk

Does anyone know of a good program to read the iptables logs from the
kernel, this stuff is hard on the eyes.
Example:
Nov 15 00:42:11 death kernel: IN=eth0 OUT=
MAC=00:02:b3:07:0b:df:00:00:00:01:00:00:08:00 SRC=210.114.174.131
DST=209.85.210.2 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=52 ID=5928 DF PROTO=TCP
SPT=4719 DPT=10008 WINDOW=32120 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 

I can read the logs but it can be very tedious, a nice perl program or
something to sort it out would be great.

Router/MASQ Questions or Workarounds??

2001-11-15 Thread Alejandro Calbazana

Hello,

I have my Redhat 7.1  and Win98/Win2k boxes set up nicely and just got a 
broadband (cable) connection.  

I have my Win machine behind my Redhat machine in an IPChains setup where my 
Redhat machine has a route to my ISP, functions as a DHCP server, and runs 
IPChains nicely - which forwards packets from win98/Win2k to the internet (IP 
Masq) and serves as a firewall. 

I do, however, have a few requirements that I'd like for see if I can get: 
set up to make my life a little easier:

1. I need to be able to use protocols such as CUSeeMe, IRC, FTP, etc... From 
my Win2K and Win98 machines to the outside world.  Under IPChains (even with 
the 2.4 kernel) I can not use such protocols since the modules for such are 
not available (although they seem to be available for older kernels!)  
IPTables does not even make this available to me.

2. I need to have my Win2k machine to access machines behind another firewall 
using SecuRemote to/thu a CheckPoint FW1.  Unfortunately, this dosnt seem to 
work (I am guessing it is due to the NATing that happens).  I understand that 
FW1 has a few encryption schemes - FWZ and IKE.  There is documentation out 
there for using it with IKE (which I have available to me), but I still have 
no success in getting this up and running...

I've considered on buying a router.  Although not 100% sure, I do not think 
that this will solve my problem as routers do some form of NATing (which is 
what I am attributing my problems to in the first place).

I've considered being a cheap ass and building a linux router from a paper 
weight desktop that I have, but I am not sure that this will help (although 
it would be pretty fun...) since all they do is some form of NATing (Freesco, 
Cyote Linux).

I've considered purchasing another IP, but again.. I'm a cheap ass...

Can someone offer a little direction on this?  Unplugging my patch cable and 
swapping it out from Redhat to Win2k just to use SecuRemote is getting old, 
fast!


Thanks In Advance,

Alejandro

I would guess that your X-server is not configured correctly in terms of
mouse. What type of mouse do you have? That X starts right after you boot has
to do with the default run level your system is using. You can change this
default in /etc/inittab. Take a look at this file and find a line that looks
somewhat like this one:

id:5:initdefault:

If you change the 5 into a 3 then you should be ok.
