Mondo (GPL bare metal recovery cloning tool)
Howdy, Dunno, about yours, but finding Mondo site certaily made my day. Great stuff for Linux. IMHO, it's well worth checking what's happening at project Mondo http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/ This is almost too good to be true, and if anybody you out there ever administered HP-UX and know what Ignite-UX is good for, you would almost kill to get that for Linux too ;) Those of you who haven't had opportunity to experience HP-UX features of host cloning, /dev/vg00 system backups and disaster recovery preparation procedure (simple as make_recovery -A -v with Ignite-UX) on DAT tape, the Mondo and goal seems to be the same but burning bootable recovery CD-R/DVD-R/tape/nfs etc. ie. the support of backup media is wider than with Ignite-UX. I bet, once the word spreads out, it will soon one of the most used backup, recovery and installation tool ever. I can't really imagine that any of the major distributors, including Red Hat, just can't afford leaving it out from a distro. The way it's usually is that once you try Ignite-UX with HP-UX you will rarely after that even consider installing from scratch, unless absolutely necessary (ie. new HW or new model you have to install and once prepare a bootable tape with Ignite-UX, after that you just boot from tape and customize or let it automagically build your already prepared environment) just great, and after while you think how did we ever manage without it! :-) riku ps. Sorry about, being a bit flashy, but this kind of tool is definitely a killerapp for sysadmins, and I would like guys at Red Hat not to sleep over it. pps.Well, if I could make a wish it would be that LVM gets standard feature and with a HP MC/ServiceGuard for Linux port would encourage HP to port more apps, like Online Diagnostics etc :) -- [ This .signature intentionally left blank ] ___ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list

Just something that's always evaded my comprehension. I always use the 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 range for internal networks.

Re: [OT] Subnets and Classes
**Disclaimer - all self-tought** Simple answer, you should have been fine having a server on 192.168.0.1/16 and a client on 192.168.1.1/16. (/16 is another way of writing 255.255.0.0) When sending an IP packet, the sender compares it's IP and netmask with the IP and netmask of the receiver, and if the results match then it tries to talk direct. If they don't match then it uses it's routing tables to find out who to go through, and repeats the same process. Comparing IP/masks is a simple logic AND operation. 192.168.0.1 255.255.0.0 = 192.168.0.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.0.0 = 192.168.0.0 = match and should talk fine Using a class 'C' mask would give 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 = 192.168.0.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 = 192.168.1.0 = no-match needs routing There is no *magic* about class 'A' 'B' or 'C' netmasks, other than they split at byte-bounderies ( an typically that they have defined IP address ranges). There is nothing wrong with using the 192.168. Class B range as multiple class 'C'. Here we use the class 'A' private range 10. as multiple class 'B' subnets, one per physical site to aid routing and reduce the broadcasts that travel down the WAN lines. The netmask is purely a way of describing the number of bits - starting at the left - that signify how much of the IP address is network and how much is node. 128.0.0.0 = /1 = 1000... 255.0.0.0 = /8 = ... (Class A mask) 255.255.0.0 = /16 = ... (Class B mask) Hope this helps Gary On Wednesday 20 February 2002 9:41 am, Edward Dekkers wrote: Just something that's always evaded my comprehension.

Comparing IP/masks is a simple logic AND operation. 192.168.0.1 255.255.0.0 = 192.168.0.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.0.0 = 192.168.0.0 = match and should talk fine Using a class 'C' mask would give 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 = 192.168.0.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 = 192.168.1.0 = no-match needs routing There is no *magic* about class 'A' 'B' or 'C' netmasks, other than they split at byte-bounderies ( an typically that they have defined IP address ranges). There is nothing wrong with using the 192.168. Class B range as multiple class 'C'. Here we use the class 'A' private range 10. as multiple class 'B' subnets, one per physical site to aid routing and reduce the broadcasts that travel down the WAN lines. The netmask is purely a way of describing the number of bits - starting at the left - that signify how much of the IP address is network and how much is node. 128.0.0.0 = /1 = 1000... 255.0.0.0 = /8 = ... (Class A mask) 255.255.0.0 = /16 = ... (Class B mask) Hope this helps Gary On Wednesday 20 February 2002 9:41 am, Edward Dekkers wrote: Just something that's always evaded my comprehension. I always use the 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 range for internal networks. Usually the first 9 reserved for servers (.1-.10) and the rest clients. From all the documentation I've read this is a Class B network (16 bit), and to use it I should netmask 255.255.0.0. I was at a customer's the other day who uses the 192.168.1.x range. I put a pre-prepared Linux box (RH7.2 if it matters) down there, with my usual 192.168.0.1 ip set-up, but the clients just would not connect to it. Not even ping it. The client's netmask WAS set to 255.255.0.0, so my question is this: Can a client at let's say 192.168.1.x with netmask 255.255.0.0 connect to a server at 192.168.0.1 with netmask 255.255.0.0? I've never pondered this before because as I said, I normally use the 192.168.0 range only, but in this case, I had to change the server to 192.168.1 range to make it work, when, from what I understand, I shouldn't have had to. In the end it's all good and works, but why not with the 192.168.0 range? I realise it's a different sub-net, but the mask should take care of that no? Can anyone please kindly refer me somewhere that explains in plain English what I'm misunderstanding?

Alex,
You will want to look at /etc/logrotate.conf and
/etc/logrotate.d/mysqld. If you installed MySQL properly, there may
be an /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld file existing. This is what it looks
like on my system:

postrotate
[ -e /var/lock/subsys/mysqld ] /usr/bin/mysqladmin flush-logs || /bin/true

}
You will also want to look at the logrotate --force command in the
manpage for logrotate.

Re: rcp, nfs or ftp?
The most significant differences are in terms of security. NFS has none.

Re: [OT] Subnets and Classes
Any documentation that states this is a class B network is wrong. It is a class C. Here is the breakdown... Class Netmask Network Addresses A 255.0.0.0 0.0.0.0- 127.255.255.255 B 255.255.0.0 128.0.0.0 - 191.255.255.255 C 255.255.255.0 192.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255 These are the defaults. This explains a lot. After reading this, I stepped back to my original reference below which I saved years ago from the internet: --- Section 3: Private Address Space The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private networks: 10.0.0.0- 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 We will refer to the first block as 24-bit block, the second as 20-bit block, and the third as 16-bit block. Note that the first block is nothing but a single class A network number, while the second block is a set of 16 continuous class B network numbers, and the third block is a set of 255 continuous class C network numbers. --- I actually misread it. When it specifies here 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255, AND that it is a 16 bit block, I thought it was a class B as I seemed to have 255 * 255 combinations of addresses. But it specifically says on the last sentence it is actually by default a Class C. A bit confusing as I though a 16 bit block meant B Class. My only excuse is I tried to read and understand it while I was still a newbie years ago, and it 'stuck' in my head. HOWEVER. Do Linux Servers/Win Clients actually KNOW this, or should the netmask of 255.255.0.0 override this as the other kind repondents have said? OR is the only way around it to add the route line to the Linux server (yes, the Linux server acts as gateway to the Win clients)? I guess next time I'll just try it both ways.

[:)] (Unless they happen to be SCSI.) Heh, in which case all this ide-scsi stuff wouldn't be necessary. [:-)] So how do I set the kernel to unclaim the cdrom for the scsi module? (change the symbolic link right?) Many thanks. I think what the document was talking about was turning off the ide-cd driver support. This is the driver you are using if you are mounting a CD using the device file /dev/hd*. When you use ide-scsi, you have two sets of device files to use, depending on what you are doing. Mounting a CD uses block device files, and these are /dev/sr* or /dev/scd* (I notice that RH 7.2 only has the /dev/scd* files), and use the sr driver. By the way, if compiled as a module, the sr driver becomes the sr_mod driver. Programs like cdrecord (and I think some audio CD players) use character device files, and these are /dev/sg*, and use the sg driver. Since by convention the cdrom block device files are expected to be named /dev/cdrom*, again by convention these will normally be made symbolic links to the appropriate real device files. So one way to be sure that the ide-cd driver does not grab ahold of the cdrom, is to simply not compile in the ide-cd driver. If you have done this, and the ide-cd driver is still grabbing the cdrom, then you did something wrong in the compile or kernel installation step:-) After all, if the ide-cd driver is not in the kernel, it cannot attach to the cdrom. By the way, you can tell that the ide-cd driver is attached to the cdrom by the second set of messages in /var/log/dmesg mentioning hcd and hdd. You can also leave the ide-cd driver compiled into the kernel, but tell it not to attach to the cdroms with the lines in /etc/lilo.conf like: append=hdc=ide-scsi If you have put those lines there, and the ide-cd driver is still grabbing ahold of the cdrom, then you made a mistake somewhere with lilo. In any case, if I were in your place, since you already are somewhat familiar with the process, I would simply go through the kernel config / compile / install again, turn off ide-cd, and make sure I did not skip a piece of the process. And then go through the lilo config process again. Duane ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

This does lead me to a question. Great, I think you'll be happier this way. Especially if you're like me and sometimes type something stupid. :) When you're doing things on your system where you need to get to files etc, is it just standard practice to su to root to get more permissions, etc? That's what I do. I use sudo for the few things that I want everyone else (in my family) to be able to use but that require root access. For example, burning CDs or getting pictures off the digital camera. I also set sudo up for a few relatively harmless things that I do often, like miscellaneous mount commands--it saves some typing. A friend had sudo setup so that he could get a root shell without a password. I don't do that because I consider it a security risk...if my account gets cracked, the intruder doesn't even need to know the root password.

I don't have the time to check and see what the latest Red Hat RPM kernel file available on their servers is. In any case, if you are referring to the pristine source from kernel.org or one of their mirrors, take a look at the README file once you extract the tarball. You have all the directions there. On the other hand, if you have the RPM kernel you should install it using the regular 'rpm' command although most likely you'll want to make sure you run it with the 'rpm -ivh' options instead of 'rpm -Uvh'.

Autostart stuff in my tray

Can anyone give me an idea where they're started please?. Also, I use a nice little program called Tuxcards http://www.tuxcards.de (very handy for collecting/organising those little bits of usefull info from this list ;-)) which I autostart and have running all the time.
