Re: NFS export error message

[Matthew Baxa]

 Finally!  It looks like the daemon just got into a weird wedged state where it 
wouldn't reexport something.  After a restart of the daemon, all is well.

RE: another user admin

[Travis McCarter]

If you want another user to have full root privelages, you can edit the
/etc/passwd file and manually create a user with the UID of '0'.   This will
in fact make another user a root user.

In RH you can run the utility "setup" (minus quotes) as root & directly
configure your network, besides
the files are stored in /etc directory:

/etc/HOSTNAME  ## For hostname
/etc/sysconfig/ ## For ip, gateway, etc.

So this seems to be a fdisk related bug rather than a cpqarray driver
issue. It must be so as fdisk seemed the only messed thing in all of it,
disk druid worked right, fdisk insisted in seeing a bunch of partitions
with "borders" messed.

fdisk as in fed disk :)

The above rpm installs a script called fetchmsttfonts (as well as a 
utility to extract  MS .cab files). When run, it downloads Microsoft's 
true type web fonts, extracts them, installs them, and adds them to the 
fontservers path. 

I've found them useful. Additionally, the commands in the script can just 
as easily be used as a guideline for installing additional truetype fonts.

I've got to agree about sound.  Since this same driver supports alot of SB cards, it 
should be looked at.  I have the same problems as you when start RtCW.  I too, 
disabled sound support in KDE to fix some of my lockups.  When an event happened in 
KDE and I was playing a game, that would usually mean a lockup or garbled sound.  I 
have not just become Windows free, but Linux dependent with all the features and open 
source programs out there.  And I think if the 3D gaming area improved (and it has 
greatly over the past year) then we would see a lot less dual-boots and a lot more new 
users.

I've seen the sudo command mentioned before. I don't know whether it is just 
a peculiarity of my 7.2 install, or whether it is a part of a package that I 
don't have installed, but I don't have the sudo command on my system and no 
man entry for it either. 

Should it be included by default in the a 7.2 installation?

I couldn't agree more. Other then a few minor problems, the 7.2 upgrade

It works fine here as well. I created a spec file for MPlayer v0.50, if 
anyone wants to create their own rpms. To use it you need the specfile, a 
minor patch to make the config script stop complaining about gcc 2.96, 
and the source from the developers site.

The specfile and patch can be found here:

http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rpms/mplayer/

The source is available here:

http://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-0.50.tar.bz2

You may also want the Win32 codecs:

http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/w32codec-0.50.zip

To create rpms: (assuming a standard rpm build environment)

Put the specfile (mplayer-0.50.spec) in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
Put the patch (mplayer-0.50-gcc_version_patch) and the source 
(MPlayer-0.50.tar.bz2) in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/

Build the rpms with:

rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/mplayer-0.50.spec

After compilation, install the new rpm with:

rpm -ivh  /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/MPlayer-0.50-1.i386.rpm

Doubtlessly there is as you can can run management services, a la MMC,
from remote pc.  I haven't researched this myself.  One thing you may want
to consider is installing cygwin on the w2k machine to give yourself some
standard unix functionality: ssh, X windows, and the like.

On the original question, I've seen a single command shutdown tool for
w2k, but can't remember what it's called.

I was wondering about that...So it's actually 192.168.1.0, correct? That 
should (obviously) be changed on the Doze box, but isn't it already 
configured on the RH box? (BTW, I had already tested it with the correct

Hello,
i am trying to adapt a installation class.
I have anaconda-runtime installed.
my distribution is in /home/ftp/pub/redhat/
Then i do:
cd /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/
./buildinstall /home/ftp/pub/redhat/
And everything is fine.
But as i don't have anaconda installed (i have just anaconda-runtime), where do the 
scripts 
found the files that goes in /home/ftp/pub/redhat/RedHat/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/ ?
(i removed the file /home/ftp/pub/redhat/RedHat/base/stage2.img)

Can i modifie a file describing the installation classe ?

Red Hat 7.2: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

[Douglas Bollinger]

For a few years now I've been using Linux with a headless box and
off-and-on on a dual booter with Windows.  Windows, however, was always
the primary OS on the dual-booter.  With the introduction of RH 7.2, I've
decided to go crazy and try using Linux full-time as my desktop OS.  It's
been a few weeks now of using RH 7.2, so I thought some of you might be
interested in my trials and tribulations.  Since this is the Red Hat list,
I'm going to keep things Red Hat oriented with discussion mostly centered
on the 7.2 release, as well as some programs I found to greatly add to the
desktop experience.

The Good:

Grub:  Grub is really cool.  I was looking forward to tryng this new 
bootloader, and so far it's been interesting to play with.  Some people
seem to think it's "lilo light," but if you read the docs you'll find it
supports a shell with a number of built-in commands.  Not having to run
lilo -s after a kernel change is sweet!  It looks pretty in graphics mode
to.

Ext3:  Unfortunately, I got plenty of lock-ups to try out the new
journaling feature of the standard ext filesystem (see below).  Works great
so far.  Also appreciate how easy it was to change my /usr/local partition
from ext2 to ext3.  A few people were puzzled why RH didn't use Reiser, but
after seeing for myself how nice ext3 is to work with, I completely
understand.

Mozilla:  Glad to see this is the default web browser.  The version
included in 7.2 is a bit long in the tooth, and it looks like a
bugger to upgrade with all the dependcies, but at least it's stable if
sluggish.  The traditional Netscape is old, buggy and almost useless
nowadays.  Hopefully Mozilla will continue to get speedier as it matures,
although I think it will always be a memory hog.  I got half a gig; not
worried. :)

Of course, all the usual library and system upgrades that make a decimal
point upgrade importnat.  On the whole, I would say 7.2 is another good RH
.2 release.

Before I get into the other stuff, here's some other resources I found
useful or important for the ultimate desktop experience:

www.deja.com

I'm so glad this resource is back online.  Don't run Linux without it!

http://enigma.freshrpms.net/

Check here for lotsa good RPMS to help round-out the desktop.  Almost all
the programs below have RPMS available here or at their own websites.

Sylpheed

http://sylpheed.good-day.net/

This is a _very_ good email client if you are looking for a light, fluffy,
easy-to-use workalike of Outlook Express in Windows.  Seems very stable
already; I've only experienced a few very minor bugs.  Red Hatted folks,
this should be part of your distro!

Pan

http://pan.rebelbase.com/

This is a GREAT newsreader.  Pan is included with 7.2, but it's a few
revisions old and since every revision changelog since then has the line
"Lotsa bugfixes" it's a good idea to run the latest and greatest.  I read
alot of USENET, and Pan works well enough to avoid making me miss Gravity
too much.

Multi Gnome Terminal

Offhand, I'm not sure the address of the home page, but make sure you grab
this at freshrpms.  When playing with KDE a bit, I really appreciated the
tabbed, multi-terminal that they use.  This is a version for gnome.  It
should be the default, because once you use it you won't want to go back to
have x-terms scattered throughout your desktop.

MPlayer

http://www.mplayerhq.hu

Despite the fact that the developers _REALLY_ don't like RH's 2.96 gcc, it
works fine on my system.  It's the best general video player I've found in
Linux: it's fast and play's all kinds of files other linux viewers can't.
You'll have to compile it, though, no RPMS around.  Don't forget to enable
the GUI, it's pretty slick.

Thanks to vlc, ogle and xine, I now have more DVD players in Linux than in
Windows. LOL!

The Bad:

The Licq gnome plug-in is buggy.  I had problems with garbled text and
general unstability.  The solution was to rpm -e RH's licq, grab the newer
gnome-licq plugin and build my own licq in /usr/local.  Now it works fine.
I suppose I should file a bugreport on this and maybe RH will offer an
updated RPM.

A minor thing:  I forgot how ugly regular X fonts look!  I had to steal the
TT fonts from my Window's font dir ASAP to make web pages readable.  It
would also be nice if RH would actually document how to install TT fonts,
since they are so necessary.  Sure, they mention it in the manual but go on
to say it's a too indepth topic to cover in the manual.  C'mon, it's only a
few commands in the shell!  I had to dig through the HOWTO's so I could
recall the couple of commands you need to get the TT fonts working.

There are a few other things I could gripe about, but nothing really
important.  I'm saving my griping for the next section. :)

The Ugly:

Wow, is the emu10k support really f*cked-up in the 7.2 kernels!  It's
absolutely horrible!  Besides all the popping and cracking, it may have
been responsable for some serious system instability.  Here's the whole
story:

Now you guys have me thinking, and that is always dangerous.  I have for
sometime wanted to track the actual filename and location where a particular
package was installed from and logging it never actually occurred to me.  What
would be the downside to writing a shell script wrapper that would concatenate
to a  log file some of that information and the output generated by rpm.

Some thing like:

#!/bin/sh
# usage:  logrpm [optionstorpm] path/to/rpmfile
outlog="/var/log/logrpm.log"
#send all stdout to file
exec > $outlog
echo $(date)" beginning installation using commandline args as follows:"
echo $*
echo "current working directory is $(pwd)"
if ( eval rpm $*) then
echo "rpm command completed sucessfully"
else
# print url of output log incase we run this in cron and wnat to get a
mail that willl point to the machine it is on
echo " rpm command failed.  see http://$HOSTNAME/$outlog for details " >
/dev/stderr
fi

This untested but something I wil probably work on given a little time I am
sure there are bugs there somewhere shell globbing might work but not sure and
the redirections might or might not be correct I can never remember


Hmm.  might be the start of something.

Sounds like that needs to be in bugzilla.  Have you created a bug report or

You cannot use MX records pointing to CNAME's. Use MX records pointing to A 
records only. By the way, A records point to IP addresses not CNAME's.

Constructive criticism: get some good help, or get someone else to do your 
DNS. If it's "urgent" and you *need* to have it working, but you don't know 
how to do it, there is something very wrong in your approach.

Missing asprintf

[Thiago F.G. Albuquerque]

Hi,

The functions asprintf and vasprintf are missing in my system. They are
mentioned in the info page, but not in the man page, and they are not in
stdio.h. How can I fix this?

Thanks,

It's not strictly your problem, unless you are the one responsible for building
the Domain Name Service (DNS) records for 'powernethk.com'.

First, some (simplified) DNS terminology about records in the zone file:

 -An 'A' record is a DNS address record.  It should always refer to an
  IP address.

 -A 'CNAME' record is a Canonical Name record.  It should point to the name
  of an 'A' record.  Think of it as an alias for an 'A' record.

 -An 'MX' record is a Mail Exchanger record.  It usually should point
  to an 'A' record; it _may_ point to a CNAME record (although this
  causes additional nameserver lookups).

NOW, qmail isn't complaining--it looks like named is.  The first is a
warning that the MX record in the zone file for 'powernethk.com' points
not to an 'A' record, but to a CNAME.  This shouldn't be rejected.

The second warning is probably the killer.  Named is complaining that the
'A' record for 'mailhost.powernethk.com' does NOT have an address-it points
to a CNAME. This is bad.  There MAY be a valid 'A' record pointed to by
that CNAME, but since nothing's being sent, I doubt it.

Go over the DNS records carefully, or complain to the hostmaster of that
domain.

Cheers & G'luck,

Do an fdisk -l /dev/hdb and look at the output. If there are any + at
the end of the Blocks numbers, the geometry is bad and it won't boot
from lilo.

I used boot floppies for ages because I let RH autopartition once a long
time ago and it ended up with that problem. I finally got sick of it a
couple of weeks ago, wiped it all and manually fdisked it all until all
of the + went away. Now it uses lilo just fine.

There are ways.

There are plenty of Win32 programs out there that will do just what you

I totally agree with Harry.  I just recently experienced this with a drive
that was in the process of failing, but wasn't dead yet.  I pulled a fresh
drive out and installed RH7.2 on it, got it all ready to go, then halted
the box, and added my old drive as a slave.  Guess whose rootfs got
mounted  The OLD drive!

All my boxes have since been converted back to the "old", but 100% reliable
method of specifying device nodes rather than volume labels.

This connection is just a file share. You cannot use it to give any 
commands to the Win2k box other than file management commands (read file, 
write file, delete file).

[OT] RH linux => samba => win2k shutdown

[Harry Putnam]

Hoping someone here will know about this without much contemplation:

I have a home network with 5 machines. The main machine and dsl
connection is on a RH 7.1 install.  I have samba installed but don't
really configure it for serious work.  In fact no config at all. Just
whatever defaults are set in an rpm install.

Using `out of the box' smbclient, I can connect to my wifes win2k box
with: smbclient //NAME/share -U administrator 

That gives me a password prompt and allows me to enter and stomp
around in the win2k file system.  This minimal access is all I really
want but I would like to be able to shut down the win2k remotely.

Is that something that can be done with this minimal connection?

Yes, I have seen that problem with Roswell beta (and 7.2, as well) on
Prosignia 500 with Smart2/P controller; fdisk from earlier RHL
version (we tried from RHL6.2) worked fine.

So my colleague who installed Roswell (or Roswell2) and then RHL 7.2 on
that machine, and who wanted fdisk to control where each filesystem is
located, mounted a floppy containing fdisk from RHL 6.2 during install and
used it to setup partitions.

Is LABEL syntax in fstab really a good thing?

[Harry Putnam]

Just relating a recent experience I had that caused me to take a hard
look at the change to using LABEL syntax in /etc/fstab that occured
some time ago.

I happended to be booting up a spare disk as 2nd master having
unhooked the normal 2nd master.  As it happened that spare disc had
once been in use and had a linux file system on it resembling those in
my normal installation.  However some of the named partitions were on
different devices.

Example: I use a partiton called /anex on several machines, its not
always on the same device on each machine though.  In this case
/anex was on /dev/hda11 in the normal install.  However the spare disk
I had temporarily hooked to 2nd master, had /anex on /hdc9.

When I booted up, the wrong /anex got mounted causing lots of
confusion for a while.  I wondered if the LABEL syntax was what
allowed that to happen, so edited /etc/fstab to use the actual device
names as in the past.  On reboot the correct /anex got mounted.

I thought I understood the proposed benefit of having LABEL syntax but
now I see at least one situation where it could have caused serious
damage or other mishaps.  Is it really a bad thing to nail down the
devices being mounted to specific OS devices?

It may cause some small inconvience somewhere, but it seems that
having nailed down devices has got to be the clearist way to go.

[Matthew Baxa]

I am trying to add an NFS share to my cluster of computers, but I keep getting an 
error that says Invalid argument

the line in /etc/exports looks like this:
  /storage  milo(rw,no_root_squash)

When I try to run 'exportfs -a' it tells me I have an invalid argument on the new 
line.  This directory is not currently exported nor are any of its subdirectories.  
Any ideas?
