I tried them a few weeks ago. I did not notice any difference in the 
quality of picture. The strange thing was that when I logout I had to wait 
for a ten seconds for gdm to give me the login screen. When I switched 
back to standard RH72 drivers everything came back to normal.

Boot problem- root already mounted(?) and inits

[Brandon Dorman]

Hey guys,

Some of you may  remember my grub and windows problem of a bit ago.  Well 
following that I reinstalled yesterday, and everything worked fine for 24 
hours until i went in windows to do some final cleanup... so I thought.

Upon reboot, I was greeted by hell.  After it initialized the USB 
controller, I got something like this:
"mounting root filesystem in read/write mode...   [error]/ mounted 
already or bad option

then later on in the boot it would tell me it couldn't write to stuff like 
gpm and stuff, then at the end of all the error messages, up came:

init: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for five minutes"
(and it then went to say the same thing for 2, 3, 4, 6, 5)

If I could boot into it somehow I could get the logs in /var/log/syslog and 
/var/log/messages but i dont know the bootimage.  This is a stock RH 7.2 
box.  Thank you very much, I sure hope we can fix this without me 
reinstalling again.

-Brandon

How does one go about changing the apache rpm source and recompiling

the source rpm so one can produce the custom rpm ?

This is caused by MySQL's authentication mechanism. It will, I believe, give
you the same error whether you are using perl or php or the mysql client on
a remote machine.

In order to log into the server from a remote client you will have to grant
access to a user from the client. You can also grant access to a user from
anymachine, but it would be most likely be more secure to limit access. Look
at the mysql docs for the GRANT command and it will explain the process
better that I ever could.

Re: samba: connecting to W2K from RH Linux

[Lewi]

first, you can try to specify username to connect to winbox with option -U
and check the sharing permission in winbox, what permission they have to allow some to 
connect to, because samba without specify a username, take your active login to 
connect, and maybe the username doesn't match with winbox has.

Sure. It all depends on what you're running and how long it's been doing
it. I had an old P150 with 96M that almost never swapped. I now have a
P400 with 384M that is currently using 41-42M swap. I also have tons
more running now than I used to have.

I've currently been up 14 days. I usually don't start using any swap
until sometime late in the first or near the beginning of the second
day. I keep an x-session going all of the time the thing is running and
I have gobs of services, firewalling, firewall monitoring, log
monitoring and so on.

Yes, but my machine isn't swapping. ;)

A minor storm with a few inches of wet heavy snow this morning knocked 
the power out for several hours. (Ended an uptime of ~120 days in the 
process.) Since the machine has been up only a few hours, it hasn't 
needed to start swapping.

What does 'free' report?

Disclaimer:
I haven't done it, and I'm not an expert by any stretch of the 
imagination.

That said, I believe you should be able to do it via the configure 
options in the apache spec file. specifically:
$ grep suexec apache.spec
--enable-suexec \
--suexec-docroot=%{contentdir} \
--suexec-uidmin=51 --suexec-gidmin=51 \
--suexec-caller=apache

You can modify apache.spec, and then 'rpm -bb apache.spec' to rebuild the 
apache rpm.

Hope that helps,

The best way is to go to redhat.com and download ALL the errata for
7.2. One of them will fix this problem. The others fix a variety of
other problems, some security, some just functional (like the whole
series of printing updates).

Over the last few weeks this has been asked many times, and others have
posted a temporary workaround for it (which I don't happen to recall
because the first thing I did was get and install all the errata).

good luck!

samba: connecting to W2K from RH Linux

[- -]

Hi all,

I see a lot of messages about samba going around.  I also have a problem 
with samba and can't really figure out. Hopefully someone more experienced 
can point me out what I've been doing wrong. Anyway, I've set up samba 
server on RH Linux 7.2 and my w2k box can see the share from Network 
Neigborhood. However, when I do:

#smbmount //w2k_box_name/d /mnt/win

it prompts for a password.  Since I haven't set a password to get into my 
w2k box, I put empty password and then get

"26491: session setup failed: ERRDOS -ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)  SMB 
connection failed."

I think I'm misssing some configurations on w2k side, but I'm not sure.  Any 
inputs are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
kero

And to add to these wise words by David, another good reason to stick with
Perl is the DBI/DBD modules. Why? Well as great php is, it sucks when it
comes to database abstraction. If you use standard SQL, switching from
MySQL to Postgresql (or say Oracle) will be far easier using Perl than
php.

By all means learn php for your next project.

I have tried it at the command line and from the specification in

I have tried these options for the Win98 d: but to not avail.  I
can mount the c: drive easily.  This is not the case for the d:
drive located on /dev/hda10

The message I am getting is:

type fs incorrect, option incorrect, superblock incorrect on
/dev/hda10 or too many files system mounted.

This is strange since with the same options I mount the c: drive.
The fs type is exactly the same for /dev/hda1 ( c drive ) and
/dev/hda10 ( drive ) 

I have

/ /dev/hda2
swap  /dev/hda3
/usr  /dev/hda5
/usr/local/dev/hda6
/var  /dev/hda7
/tmp  /dev/hda8
/home /dev/hda9

The win98 stuff is on ( this is not mounted automatically ):

/dev/hda1/mnt/win98
/dev/hda10   /mnt/data


I have just reformated /dev/hda10 is case there might have been a
problem there. Everything looks fine on that side.


Any idea what is wrong?

This is not part of my partition table.  I do not have a second
hard drive on that machine.


The exact error message I get is 

type fs incorrect, option incorrect, superblock incorrect on
/dev/hda10 or too many files system mounted.

However, I can mount /dev/hda1 (win98 LBA fat 32) without these
problems. 

I really would like to use that part to share data between
Win9x/Linux 

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jake,

You should apply all the available updates, which will fix the problem.

For the time being, 'depmode -ae' should also fix it.

There is a script named "fax" that works with efax. It was included in my
RH62 and RH72 setups. It's simple. To send a fax, just create a Postscript
or text file and use the command:

  fax send PhoneNumber FileName.ps

The Print-To-File feature of X productivity apps create a Postscript file.
There are graphical front ends to efax, but the included fax script works
well enough for the occasional fax that i've never bothered to use the GUI

Re: Squid + IPtables + FTP

[Patrick Lankhorst]

Now that I'm redaing my own post, I realise I 
didn't put my actual question in it.
 
Browsing FTP sites with IE doesn't work when the 
firewall is down (squid's still up) but downloading files from FTP servers (ftp.rpmfind.net for instance) is working 
allright.
It's as if browsing FTP sites is handled by the 
masquerading bit of IPtables, though I told IE to use the proxy server. I hope 
someone can figure this one out.


  Hi,
   
  I have a strange problem: I have Squid 2.4 
  running, and an IPtables firewall, both on the same RH 7.2 box. The box acts 
  as a router for 1 win box. When both squid and the firewall are running, I can 
  access every FTP site I like. However, when I stop the firewall I can't 
  reach any FTP site anymore. IE waits for about 2 mins. then it seems to reach 
  the FTP-site, but then, after 30 secs., comes with a timeout message. When I 
  start the firewall script again, everythings fine again.
  IE on my win box is configured to use the proxy 
  for all protocols.
   
  Notes: The firewall is configured for 
  masquerading (due to games not working through the proxy) and when i stop the 
  firewall script the last two rules are:
   
  iptables -F INPUT
  iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
   
  Thanx

Ok, that makes more sense.  Sorry if I'm dense, but all that talk
about PHP lost me, because it wasn't part of your question or problem
as you stated it.  No one will argue about the above in principle;  
there are very good reasons for using a database instead of text
files.  Performance, extendability, maintainability will certainly be
better served; security maybe, though that depends on your situation 
and needs.

To address the question as it now stands, the answer is, yessir, if
you're already proficient with Perl and have a lot of code already in
place, you absolutely can stick with Perl, and do not need to learn
PHP just to move your data out of text files and into a database.  Of
course, your job will be a lot easier if your code is well written in
discreet functions, so that you can just replace those portions which
reach for a text file with new functions that query a database.

And nope, you do not need to do anything to Apache to make this work,
though you eventually may want to add mod_perl if performance becomes
a concern.

To that end, I highly recommend a book by Paul DuBois called "MySQL
and Perl for the Web".  (This is the same guy that wrote "MySQL" for
New Riders.)  This book has a wealth of details and examples of
exactly what you need right now.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Cheers -d

Re: MySQL

[Jake McHenry]

Ok, well, it's not my choice. My boss told me on Friday that he wan't to be
using a MySQL database because it would be better. I don't ask questions.
Right now, the perl scripts that I have wrote, write all the info to a plain
text file. I know by using MySQL it would be more secure, but there are no
reasons that I know of why it sould be more secure. I have our network
locked down pretty tight, and the only people that have access to the actual
text file is my boss and I. If it would be easier to just stick with what I
know, perl, that would be great. When I compiled apache last time, I didn't
include any perl options, so would I have to recompile it to add the DBI
functions?

answers to questions ...

1) the user enters data (general info, cc #, flight plans, etc.) and it
writes it to a plain text file.
2) it's not using MySQL
3) Just so that it uses MySQL, all the data we currently have, and future
data, needs to be converted into a MySQL database.

Thanks,
Jake

ipfwadm

[fred smith]

Yes, IPFWADM, not IPchains or whatever is newer!

I'm still running an IP Masq box here with a 2.0.36 kernel. I'm trying
to add some ipfwadm rules to punch a hole so sendmail can work thru the
"firewall" with my ISP. (I've been using uucp for years, now I'm switching
to a fixed IP address and ETRN.)

So I dig up the firewall-HOWTO and read the section on IPFWADM and see
there are two examples there for doing what I think is what I want to do.
Here's what the HOWTO shows:

#allow incoming email
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 -D 192.1.2.10 25
#allow email connections to outside email servers
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 192.1.2.10 25 -D 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535

I've modified that slightly by putting: 1) the address of the smtp server
at my ISP where these two rules have "0.0.0.0" and the internal-to-my-LAN
address of the machine where sendmail actually runs (it's not running on
the ip masq box itself as a security measure) where the example shows
192.1.2.10.

When I submit those two rules to ipfwadm I get back an error message 
(sorry I don't have the exact wording) about "multiple commands" (or
"too many commands", and I get it once for each of these rules.

I don't have a clue about what it's complaining about. Each option I'm
using is listed in the ipfwadm man page. The only thing that looks
perhaps weird to me is that for the -b option, the man page says:

   -b Bidirectional mode.  The rule will  match  with  IP
  packets  in  both  directions.  This option is only
  valid in combination with the  append,  insert,  or
  delete commands.

I'm not entirely certain I follow this.

Is there someone here who understands IPFWADM (rather than doing a
cookbook thing like I'm forced to do in lieu of knowing what I'm doing)
who can help enlighten me as to 1) what's the problem here, and 2) how
to really do what I want to do?

Thanks!

Fred

suexec in user dirs should work without any specific configuration
directives;  that's got nothing to do with --suexec-docroot.  The
thing to be aware of is that there doesn't seem to be any way to
change DOCROOT at run time, so choose --suexec-docroot carefully.  
Whatever's compiled into suexec is the way it's gonna be, and suexec
will only work under that parent dir.

I would love for someone to correct me on this if I'm wrong, but I 
can't find anything in the docs about it.

You only flushed the INPUT table; you probably also need to clean out 
FORWARD and/or OUTPUT.

Ok, hold the fone, phriend.  This is all very vague and makes no 
sense to me.

Please answer these questions, for your own benefit and for ours: 

1. What goal does your application currently accomplish?

2. What goal does it not accomplish that your boss would like to 
accomplish?

3. What exactly are you being asked to change to in order to satisfy
#2?

So far in this thread, I haven't even been able to figure out what
you're trying to do, let alone why you think PHP will help you!  
Maybe what you meant to say was "convert it to PHP", instead of
"convert it to MySQL"?  If so, the answers to #1 and #2 above will
help us a lot, even if the response turns out to be "you don't need to
do that".  Perl is perfectly capable of talking to MySQL.

Re: Matrox G400 resolution problem

[Hidong Kim]

Hi,

I don't have any experience with the G400.  But I thought Matrox cards
worked really well with Linux.  We have several machines here with
Millennium IIs and G200s, and they work great.  In fact, I remember a
few years ago when the G400 came out, I read an article on the Internet
about how good Quake on Linux looked with the G400.  Have you tried a
different monitor?  That's the only thing I can think of at this point. 
I'm all tapped out of ideas.  Good luck,

Squid + IPtables + FTP

[Patrick Lankhorst]

Hi,
 
I have a strange problem: I have Squid 2.4 running, 
and an IPtables firewall, both on the same RH 7.2 box. The box acts as a router 
for 1 win box. When both squid and the firewall are running, I can access every 
FTP site I like. However, when I stop the firewall I can't reach any FTP 
site anymore. IE waits for about 2 mins. then it seems to reach the FTP-site, 
but then, after 30 secs., comes with a timeout message. When I start the 
firewall script again, everythings fine again.
IE on my win box is configured to use the proxy for 
all protocols.
 
Notes: The firewall is configured for masquerading 
(due to games not working through the proxy) and when i stop the firewall script 
the last two rules are:
 
iptables -F INPUT
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
 
Thanx
Patrick

um, i know.  but for windows folks, using mtools is a simpler solution
if you don't want to teach them about mounting and unmounting, and
the mtools commands are conveniently similar to the corresponding
windows commands.

that's not what i'm after here.  the goal is to show people how to,

if it turns out to be even easier/better in linux, that's a bonus.

I'll try to pull up some pointers for you.  An even better document would
be listing things you can only do really well in Linux.

Re: MySQL

[Jonathan Bartlett]

use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("CONNECTSTRINGGOESHERE", "whateveryourusernameis",
"whateveryourpasswordis");

my ($x, $y, $z);

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("Select X, Y, Z from whatever where something =
somethingelse") || die("error preparing statement");

$sth->execute || die("error executing statement");

while(($x, $y, $z) = $sth->fetchrow_array)
{

}

$dbh->do("insert into whatever (a, b, c) VALUES ('valuea', 'valueb',
'valuec');



You can get more info by doing 

perldoc DBI

You can find out what your connect string should be by reading MySQL's
driver docs (perldoc DBD::MySQL maybe, I forget).

Anyway, the preceding code was from my head, and probably has errors.
Also, you can get DBI errror meessages from the variable $DBI::errstr I
believe.

Did you try

It still may not work, but it looks like that particular error is
caused by trying to mount an ext3 filesystem as ext2.

Hope you get it worked out,

Webmin has a module that allows you to do this.  You connect to the system
via port 1 using your browser, and then launch the ssh module for a 
regular shell.  I suppose it's not as secure though because the connection
takes place via the Webmin daemon, and I ignore if that connection is secured
at all.  My guess is that it's possible to use SSL for Webmin too.

Re: MySQL

Ok, I'll look into using my existing scripts, only adding the MySQL to it.
What will I need to change/add in the scripts to access the database? Will I
need to add any other packages? Currently, this is what I have installed...

perl-5.6.0-9
groff-perl-1.16-7
perl-DBI-1.18-1

MySQL-3.23.47-1
MySQL-devel-3.23.47-1
MySQL-client-3.23.47-1
MySQL-shared-3.23.47-1


Are there any docs on webpage scripting and MySQL? How do I access the
database from the webpage?

Thanks again,

RE: Email Problems[Solved]

Title: RE: Email Problems[Solved]





Gregg,


Thanks for the input on this problem but the new ipchain rule didn't help. I put logging on all of the rules that I thought applied and only the outbound rule was ever logged even though I could see the traffic going back and forth on the modem. The problem turned out to be the values I had set in the MTU/MRU values in the PPP Options file. I had them set around 572 and when I increased them to 1500 everything started to work.

After I get the other Firewall tools up and running I may tackle converting the ipchains rules to iptables rules.


I like to thank eveyone on the list who has helped me with getting my Firewall this far. It is truly amazing how much better the support is from this list than many of the "Professional" support lines I deal with.

Re: MySQL

[Jeff Bearer]

PHP is easy to install as a RPM (requires apache was installed as a rpm)
or from source.  If you build it from source, you can compile it as a
apache module and as long as your apache was configured with DSO support
then you can plug php into it.  you can also configure PHP directly into
apache, this requires that you recompile apache.  If you benchmark the
two the later will be faster, now if it's noticable, I don't know.

Once you download the PHP source the install doc has good directions on
how to compile apache and php.

But like Brian keeps saying, it shouldn't be too difficult to add mysql
hooks into you perl app.

Hello Jake:

   

Go to www.php.com for the information your seeking. Next,  I think 
that you have to set up a user account for

winxp. Also, go to mysql.com for the information your seeking.  You might want to look 
at Nusphere Mysql,  that company offers mysql, php, and perl in one package that work 
together.

Partition Image
 by François Dupoux - Wednesday, September 13th 2000 12:17 EST

About: Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX utility similar to Symantec's Ghost. This 
uility saves partitions in the EXT2, Reiserfs, NTFS, HPFS, FAT16, and FAT32 file 
system formats to an image file. The image file can be compressed with gzip or bzip2 
in order to save disk space, and it can be split in order to fit onto a series of 
floppy disks. This program can be useful for backup purposes. A boot/root disk is also 
provided, allowing you to run Partition Image without Linux installed on the hard disk.

Re: MySQL

[Jake McHenry]

Should I keep the perl-DBI rpm that I installed for this? Will I need it for
anything with PHP? Does anyone recommend any specific version?

Re: Help with copy.

[Dale Kosan]

I think the dd comand is what you want, something like "dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb 
bs=1024" This would make an exact copy of /dev/hda on /dev/hdb with a block size of 
1024. Some one will correct me if I am mistaken.

Re: help all of my os gone

thereis only one second that smoothwall formated my hda, (i hope so)
but while i'am watching that mk2fs with linux is so fast even on the large space,
i think the data can't be deleted so fast, 



i don't remember exactly size of my each partition, 
now my hda look like this
  cfdisk 2.10f

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2,
   or too many mounted file systems
i have formatted all partition on hda with ext3
what i can do now? if i dont remember it exactly.

where i can find information about this?

It depends on how far into it you got. If it fdisked the drive, you can
maybe recover it by fdisking it again into the layout that was on it. If
it formatted the drive, chances are slimmer, but you might be able to
recover some with fdisk and a few other tools (too lengthy to explain
now, and I'm not necessarily the expert on those tools). If it started
writing, you're probably SOL on recovery.

There are a few others that do the same thing as smoothwall (wipe it all
out and write). This needs to be a lesson: _ALWAYS_ research those
all-in-one firewall/gateway/router/server packages because most of them
use the same trick of wiping it all out.

Sorry I can't be of more assistance. Maybe with a little more
information

Re: Keyboard entry of Extended ASCII Characters

[Ben Logan]

At the Linux console, you can do the same thing mentioned on that
site, except that you don't need the leading zeros.  For example,
ALT+49 results in a '1' being printed.

Under X, you might find http://www.leune.org/various/compose/ helpful.
I found out that I didn't need to do anything but

xmodmap -e 'keycode 78=Multi_key'

Even though the ScrollLock line didn't appear in my XF86Config-4 file,
it is apparently set by default.  If that works for you, you can add
it to your .xinitrc file (or .xsession if that's the one you use).

You might also want to take a look at
http://www.uni-ulm.de/~s_smasch/X11/input8bit.html
which appears to cover the topic pretty thoroughly.

HTH,
Ben

Thanks, that's good to know.  I rarely used it so I won't miss it. :)

Agreed.  I usually run into trouble when I try to setup something
completely from scratch, but if I already have something to go on, I
would much rather hand-edit the config files.

I was somewhat worried that 7.2 was going to be less friendly in that
regard.  Given the GUI-centric trend, I have this fear that they are
going to phase out the shell scripts and text config files in place of
something which can't be so easily tweaked.  I don't mind "user
friendly" GUI frontends as long as that's all they are.

Regards,
Ben

using linux in a microsoft environment

[rpjday]

  something i've wanted to do for a while is write up a 
document listing the various ways/tools to start using 
linux apps in a microsoft environment.  not a detailed
description of every tool, just a brief paragraph or two,
followed by a pointer to more info.

  to begin, one could list simple things like mtools to 
access dos floppies, "xpdf" to read PDF documents,
cdrecord/xcdroast to burning CDs, and working up to 
office suites such as star office, samba for file/print
sharing and so on.  no detailed install/config info,
just pointers -- a place to get started.

  i recall, some time back, running across an article 
someone had written that looked a lot like this -- how
to start replacing MS software with corresponding
linux apps, but i stupidly misplaced the pointer to that
article.

  are there any good sites/articles out there along this
vein?  this is just the kind of document that would interest
a number of my clients.  and if i can't find docs just like
this, then i guess i'll just have to write one. :-)
