OK so after browsing through the book Gordon suggested, I got an idea.  So I
tested it out and it worked within the environment that I need it to.  Here
is the way I did it:

user="pnelson"
cvslocal="/usr/local/cvsrep"

mkdir .bon
chown $user:cvs .bon
cd .bon
su $user -c 'cvs -d $cvslocal co bon/il'
cd bon/il
vi il.txt  <-did some editing and saved changes
su $user -c 'cvs -d $cvslocal ci -m "Update change"'
cd ../..
su $user -c 'echo "y"|cvs -d $cvslocal re bon'
cd ..
rmdir .bon

Thanks to Gordon, Harry, and Bill for the help!

Hi,
Found an executable Xinstall.sh on the Norway ftp.  Appear to have
XFree86 4.2.0 installed now.
Still can't get my Radeon 7500 video card to work.  If anyone can give me
the proper settings, driver, etc,  I would really appreciate it.  

Thanks

Re: star office install from rh 7.2 cd

[Willem van der Walt<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]

Hello,
I once had a simelar problem.
mount the cd by hand.
umount /mnt/cdrom
mount -tiso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom
Do ls and look if the setup file is there.
If not, there should be a directory like Linux. cd to that directory and 
ls there to look for setup. If it is there, do ./setup from there.
regards, Willem

I set up a Samba server and enabled it as a WINS server.  The server
works fine and I can see the directories on the local Windows network.
The computer that I use to dial in is pointed to the WINS server, but I
still cannot browse the Network Neighborhood.  I can use the "Find
Computer" and then see the Windows computers, but I can't see the Samba
server.  I can ping the Samba server however and I don't have any
IPCHAINS blocking it. The computer that I use to dial in gets listed in
the Samba server's win.dat file, so it evidently knows it's there.  What
could be wrong or is this just impossible?

Re : sendmail book

[somasundaram mohanraj]

hi

If you do stay with sendmail, I stronly urge you to
use M4.
Here's how to do it on a RedHat system:
First, create your mc file:

# cd /usr/lib/sendmail-cf/cf
# cp redhat.mc myconfig.mc
# vi myconfig.mc


If you want to try sendmail,
you should really consider to get the sendmail book
from O'Reilly, I would not have
been able to do anything useful with sendmail without
that book. The documentation
on sendmail is rather non-existing, at least I have
not found anything on the net
which describes sendmail comparable to the book. Once
you understand, how sendmail
works, it is really easy to setup and maintain. You
can do about everything you can
think of using sendmail's configuration file.


Thanks

Raj

Installing XFree86 4.20

[Billy R Nordyke]

How do I get an executable of the Xinstall.sh script?   I've downloaded
all the files from XFree86.org but the Xinstall.sh downloads as text as
does Xinstall.bin.  The names are changed to Xinstall.sh.htm and
Xinstall.bin.htm.
I first fried to install them manually but had problems and figured it
was quicker to reinstall RH 7.2 without the X and then install the new
4.2.0 clean.  Couldn't get my ATI Rage Fury Pro card to work so bought 
Radeon 7500 as Trond suggested.  I have the 4.20 files in a temporary
file all ready to go.

Thanks

Printer partially works

[bbales]

Hi, list,
I'm running RH7.2 on 800 MHz Athlon with SIS motherboard and Canon bjc6000 
printer.  Gimp prints a pretty fair picture in full color, but I can't print 
text.  "lpr test.txt"  gets me nothing.  If the printer is turned off, I get 
a message "lp0 offline" in var/log/messages, but if the printer is ready - no 
message at all.

/var/spool/lpd/bjc6000/bjc6000.acct  has the following jobstart and jobend 
information logged for each attempt:

Hi Daryll

Keep postfix using 'mail'. All I did to solve this was the following.

1. put your mailman aliases in a seperate file. In my case
/etc/postfix/mailman.alaises, by adding it to the alias_maps and
alias_database lines.

2. run newaliases to generate /etc/postfix/mailman.alaises.db

3. set the gid of /etc/postfix/mailman.alaises.db to be 'mail'

It should then work. From my use, the gis bit sticks, so you only have to
do it once and subsequintly running newaliases (thus generating a new .db)
retains the gid of mail.

Re: Lilo question

[Paul Greene]

So, nothing was obviously wrong with the lilo.conf file? (just to make sure 
the lilo.conf file was eliminated as a potential problem or not)

I downloaded the src file from the NSA website, used the 7.1 Redhat version 
they said was the version used for developing selinux (just to avoid any 
complications because of differences between versions), and followed some 
fairly explicit step by step instructions from their documentation. I 
didn't get any error messages during compilation so it looked like 
everything went ok there. I downloaded the file that was supposed to 
contain the source code tree, and all the patches and modified utilities.

This was the description of the kernel I downloaded -

"Download a 2.4.17 based kernel with the LSM (Linux Security Module) patch 
applied and the SELinux module merged, the checkpolicy policy compiler, an 
example policy configuration, the setfiles file labeling utility, an 
example file_contexts configuration, and the complete source for all new 
and modified daemons and utilities."

compile error 2.4.9-31

[Bob Hartung]

Hi all,
   I have downloaded 2.4.9-31 from rh7.2 updates.  While trying to compile 
a new kernel I continually have a failure in the networking code.  I have 
run (in order)
 make mrproper
 make xconfig (saved the changes to a file and saved & exited)
 make dep clean bzImage

I get the errors on the snipped attachment.  Can someone help me with info 
on where to go now.  (The last kernel use the DEC Tulip driver for 21040 
chips without any difficulty).

Thanks!

Lilo question

[Paul Greene]

I'm trying to play with the NSA selinux kernel and am having trouble 
getting the system to boot.

The Redhat version is 7.1. When the lilo boot menu pops up it gives me a 
choice of "linux" (the standard kernel) or "selinux" (the NSA selinux 
kernel). If I select "selinux" the line "booting selinux" pops up, but then 
the system starts rebooting, and comes back around to the lilo boot menu 
again. If I choose the standard kernel, it boots just fine.

So, starting with first things first, since I'm not too "lilo fluent", I'm 
not completely confident I have lilo setup correctly. The file system 
layout is as follows:

/dev/hda1   /boot
/dev/hda2   extended partition
/dev/hda5   swap
/dev/hda6   /

Does anyone see any errors in the following lilo.conf? (everything is the 
same as the standard lilo.conf added during install except for the selinux 
section).

You need to use rpm -Fvh which updates only those RPMs which are currently

Mailman and postfix GID error??

[Darryl Harvey]

Has anyone set up mailman and Postfix on their RedHat box??


I am getting the dreaded GID error, and have read the mailman help file as 
to the fix, It suggests rebuilding mailman with;

./configure --with-mail-gid=thegid

If I am installing from a Redhat RPM, I cannot do this...  I have altered 
the postfix option of:

default_privs = mail

and this allows me to use mailman, but it may have some effect on postfix 
and privs??

Can anyone enlighten me to if this is ok, or if I need to un-install the 
RPM and install mailman from source and configure with my options.

Thanks

If you've downloaded ijbswa, it is /etc/junkbuster/re_filterfile.
Actually the ijb.actions file does more kinds of stuff. The

want to do most of the cookie, ads/banners/popup configuration with
the ijb.actions file (formerly blocklist). If you downloaded the
RH-7.x rpms, there is HTML docs there too that explains most of this.
You can talk directly to the proxy at http://i.j.b/ if its running,
and do a certain amount of configuration there too.

Re: newbie kernel help

[Caleb Chaplin]

Heh, ok here's the thing.  I'm in no rush to get my other machine setup
as router/server/firewall/juijitsu-master quite yet (though that's the
idea for later on); hence my mention of looking at different modem
modules.  Firstly, I'd just like to compile a fresh kernel from scratch
to get out some old bloat, maybe introduce some new bloat, and generally
just play around with optimization.  But as it is I'm stuck, not at the
drawing board, but at the store trying to find where the drawing boards
are sold.  If you catch my drift.  

Here's a list of what I've already tried:

- unpacked the 2.4.18 kernel into /usr/src (an otherwise empty
directory)

- make xconfig (mostly getting rid of stuff I was pretty sure had
nothing in common with my hardware setup).

- make dep

- make clean (just to be sure)

- make bzImage

- make modules

- make modules_install

- depmod -a

- the howtos seem to end at this point; some mention a lilo command (I'm
using grub).  One mentioned copying the system.map file to /boot, which
I did but wasn't sure if i had to name it appropriately.  Also, my /boot
directory contains a number of initrd-2.4.x-x.img files which are named
after various kernel releases (as updated via up2date).  And I'm not
sure to get one of these for the freshly compiled kernel.

Any suggestions?

p.s., the modprobe command returned "command not found", which seems a
bit odd.

Set the repository up as a normal user, not root.  For lots of
information on cvs, read the cvs book here:
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/

Buy it if you plan to do a lot with CVS.

I'd switch to opera, if it were to have less bugs.  It has trouble displaying
many sites I visit.

Sounds like you're rebuilding your house because you can't find the 
good scissors.  :-)

What module do you think you need, and why?  Just about everything 
under the sun is available in a stock Red Hat build.  'modprobe 
' is the usual way to load it.

newbie kernel help

[Caleb Chaplin]

Kind of an embarrasing question here.  I'm trying to modify/optimize the
stock kernel that shipped with redhat; I've used up2date to get the
kernel to 2.4.9-31 (i think that's the latest) but i'd like to make some
small changes - and generally learn more about some of the kernel
options. 

However after digging around and looking at various kernel howtos I'm
stuck early on; each one mentions that I should begin with the source in
/usr/src/linux (or wherever) but that folder is empty on my machine -
I've got nothing in /usr/src.  I'm assuming that the kernel headers and
stuff are elsewhere but I have no idea where they would be.

All I want to do is try loading some different modules (for my cable
modem) but I can't even find the directory where I should begin.  And
even so, is it safe for me to just run 'make xconfig' in that directory
or will it leave me with a "blank slate" afterwhich I'll have to choose
all the correct options? 

And one last question: I know I'm supposed to copy over the System.map
afterwards but what about the initrd.img and module-info files; where do
I copy those from?

Sheesh, so many questions at once!  I'd really appreciate any help I
could get.

Nope that doesn't work.  The commits seem to work but then there is an error
of the nature of:

  cvs commit: Examining .

Further commits give worse results:

  cvs commit: Examinig.
  cvs commit: Up-to-date check failed for 'il.txt'
  cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first! 

OK so I added the checkout to the list thinking that maybe I need to be
checking it out as the same user...

 su pnelson -c 'cvs -d $cvslocal checkout bon/il'

That has errors too:

  cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot make directory bon: No such file or
directory

Make sense seeing I'm in a root permission dir...  Arg...

So me thinks that maybe a better description of what I'm doing might shed
some light on someone being able to help me with my solution.

I have a root run admin script that I want to use to track the changes to
documentation.  The program is meant to be run as a "su -" call I have many
scripts that utilize the root user (and only the root user) in this way and
this script incorporates many off these other scripts.  This "no root
commits" is idiotic to me, but I never get into those root flame wars.
However, I need to be able to commit as some damn user so that I can
implement this darn script.  Anyone have any other ideas?

http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net

This a continuation of the old Junkbuster, with a lot of enhancements.
Quoting from docs:


In addition to Junkbuster's traditional features of ad and banner blocking and
cookie management, this is a list of new features currently under development:


  * Integrated browser based configuration and control utility (http://i.j.b).
Browser-based tracing of rule and filter effects.
   
  * Blocking of annoying pop-up browser windows.
   
  * HTTP/1.1 compliant (most, but not all 1.1 features are supported).
   
  * Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files,
and generally a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax over
previous versions.
   
  * GIF de-animation.
   
  * Web page content filtering (removes banners based on size, invisible
"web-bugs", JavaScript, pop-ups, status bar abuse, etc.)
   
  * Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
   
  * Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads).
   
  * Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
   
  * User-customizable HTML templates (e.g. 404 error page).
   
  * Improved cookie management features (e.g. session based cookies).

Maybe, but sounds more likely that DISPLAY is incorrect on the target.  
Since those are private IPs, we can't tell from this post.

Instead of messing with xhost, just connect using ssh, and this is all 
done for you.  Just make sure ForwardX11 is enabled for the client 
(ssh_config) and that X11Forwarding is enabled on the server 
(sshd_config).

Yep, check out webwasher for linux which will run on a proxy, even kills

The DHCP bit shouldn't have anything to do with it.  I suspect that you have
firewall rules blocking access to port 6000 ( :0.0 => 6000) from other

As designed.  If any child program could alter the values of the environment
setting in their parent process, chaos could ensue.  Imagine for a moment that
I convince you to play my game called "rogue"--and then change your session so
that your path is altered to find different commands.

Re: Netscape screwup

Cameron Simpson responded:

I found my problem.

A while back, and I totally forgot that I did it, someone posted a bunch of
as site URLs, which were then put into your local host file and redirected
to your localhost 127.0.0.1 address.

Well, Netscape doesn't like that.  It effectively strips off the URL and asks
my web server to supply the ad page, which it can't.  I think opera gets around
the problem because the ad request starts another page, which would contain
the error.

After removing all the entries, things are much better.

I might think about this.  Looking at squid, it wants lots of disc space to
do its caching, space I really don't want to give up for that.  If squid
can be configured to run really tiny for cache and not cause a performance
hit on my box, I just might do that.

But, if I am reading everything correctly, it doesn't make the ads pages
that pop up go away, it just replaces them with a small gif, or whatever you
want.  That means those popups will still pop up :-(  Either way, I still
have to close them.

Isn't there a fast and smart program that can be placed between the browser
and the net that read the HTML coming back to the browser that removes the
ad links from the incoming web page, replacing them with "nothing?"

You can't, and don't need to. After a process dies its details are left
around in the process slot so that its parent can use the wait() system
call to collect this status. Otherwise, it's consuming no resources
and isn't a problem.  All it means is that the process has not yet been

Re: MSN, IPTABLES and NAT

Best advice - forget NetMeeting.  If you search through the MS
knowledgebase for NetMeeting and firewalls you will find that NetMeeting
needs the other end to be able to establish a data connection back to you
... on any port.  So, to be able to use NetMeeting you need to have a
pretty open firewall.  Microsoft's bottom line in the knowledgebase
articles is that if you have problems, just remove the firewall.  My
position is that is backwards - just remove NetMeeting.  It is ridiculous
that they cannot create an app that can establish the back end data
channel on one, and only one, port.  Until that happens, NetMeeting and
secure networks are at different poles.

Re: Netscape screwup

Browsers tend to be sensitive to improperly written HTML.  IE used to be

will find a tag that is not ended properly or that has a syntax error.  A
good webmaster would test against all browsers, but few do.  I always send
complaints to webmaster@xyz  when I find these situations ... if they are
going to put up a web page they should make sure it works with all

Print Driver & Ghostscript question

[Robert Jones]

I have finally decided to replace my 1987 dot matrix printer with
something a little more modern. After some looking, it appears that the
HP940c would probably represent a decent tradeoff 'tween budget and
needs/wants.  But before I rush out and buy any printer, I want to know
it's gonna work on my system -- Redhat 6.0 with a 2.2.16 kernel.

I downloaded, configured and compiled the driver, hpijs-1.0.3
successfully.
I downloaded ghostscript 6.53 and configured and compiled it
successfully after also downloading the jpeg source. Neither package has
been installed (make install) yet.

I guess that what I'd like to know are 1) Any bad reports on the HP940c?
and 2) Am I in for any nasty surprises if I install ghostscript 6.53 on
top of 5.10-7 that came with RH 6.0?

lilo & multiple disks

Hi Folks, I'm running 6.2 (on /dev/sda) now and I've installed 7.2 on a
separate disk (/dev/sdb)so that I can configure it before changing over. I
don't want to install grub until I have 7.2 going (priorities).

Lilo works well with partitions on one disk, but I have multiple
disks. How can I get lilo to boot the 7.2 partition on the second disk?

This is a minor question since I do have a boot floppy for 7.2, but I'd
like to know how to do this anyway.

Yeah. If it's what I've seen before then there are two bugs here.

The first bug is from the losers at doubleclick. They has transcribed a
URL in the HTML source with embedded whitespace. (It varies - sometimes
embedded spaces, but usually some cockup with a leading or training
newline in the HREF="..." part). This is TOTALLY ILLEGAL.

The other bug is from netscape. Regardless of the crap found in the HTML,
netscape shouldn't be _asking_ for a URL with embedded whitespace. An
HTTP request for a document (or image or whatever) looks like this:

GET URL HTTP/1.1

and some header. The "URL" part may not have whitespace. Even if the
clueless HTML author has put in a space the browser should discard
it, or complain, or percent-encode it per the practice with other
characters. Netscape doesn't do that.

So the upstream server (the proxy or the real target host) is getting
this rubbish in the HTTP request and, not being psychic, failing to
return what you ask for.

By the way, your pain can be lessened with this tool:

 Restrictions on doing things as root are usually there with good
reason, I'd try to figure a way of avoiding it.

 Can you not run the root stuff in one screen/terminal and the cvs
stuff in another?

I hope someone gives you a better answer.  I posted that question on
gnu.cvs.help a while back and learned there is a technique for
compiling cvs with out that block against root commits.  I tried the
advice given and it never worked for me.  Even recompiled on two
machines so both had had theh flags set. But that was actually remote
committing but not a pserver.  A ssh setup. 

On the local machine I sudo from user to root and don't see that message
comeup.  You'd probably find several discussions at www.groups.google.

Plug in +root +commit and aim it at gnu.cvs.help  Maybe even insert
the author .. `Larry Jones' answers hundered of questions there and
has handled that one a few times.

Sorry I couldn't find the old messages now.

The sudo thing is tolerable though.  All it takes is installing sudo
and looking at the file provided /etc/sudoers.  You'll see what to
edit right away.

Then when commiting.  As a user you'd say:
 sudo cvs commit ...whatever.

Oh, here is a hefty thread from google groups that may help:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&threadm=x7snalrguj.fsf%40reader.newsguy.com&rnum=5&prev=/groups%3Fas_q%3Dcommit%2520root%26as_ugroup%3Dgnu.cvs.help%26as_usubject%3Dcommit%2520root%26hl%3Den

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&frame=right&th=1535771fdbcf9f8&seekm=m11yi7tuz2.fsf%40reader.newsguy.com#link1

Boy those are some heavy duty addresses eh?
In case that is broken by mail plug in subject `cvs commit as root'
On the newsgroup I mentioned.

Many Thanks
