Actually, Maynard, you will be presently surprised. There is a lot of intelligence

Hi,
I do not know about the Redhat version of Staroffice, but if you do not
have a java runtime installed, Staroffice still works.
It just says that you would not have some java related support.

RE: proftpd problem

[Rob Finneran]

Hi Bill,

It's probably a firewall issue.
If your using iptables for your firewall (highly recommended over ipchains
for ftp stuff)
then be sure your firewall allows traffic on:

TCP 20 and 21
UDP 20 and 21

And that your iptables firewall script loads the following modules:

insmod ip_tables
insmod ip_conntrack
insmod ip_conntrack_ftp

Cheers,

Rob

Subject: proftpd problem



I've got proftpd-1.2.5rc1-1 installed on a 7.2 machine and it's up and
running.  Where the problem is is when I connect from my any machine behind
a firewall.  Here's what I get:

Current remote directory is /.
ncftp / > ls
connect failed: Connection refused.
Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode.
List failed.

I can pretty much do anything I want, put files, remove them, whatever, but
nothing ever shows up when I do an 'ls' which is a slight pain in the arse.

I know it's something to do with the firewall I'm behind (is there some
option when compiling the kernel in a firewall machine that can eliminate
this?), but the thing that really makes me scratch my head is that I can ftp
into other machines running this same version, but I don't have that
problem.

I've done a google search, but didn't come up with much.  Can anyone point
me in the right direction?

Thanks,

-Bill

Kudzu locking up the cd-rom?

[ravi channavajhala]

Hi All,

Recently, I upgraded my kernel from 2.4.7-10 to
2.4.9-31.  I can see the cdrom driver being loaded at
the boot time and updfstab marking the removable media
entries, with kudzu as one of the mount options in
/etc/fstab.  Well and good, but the problem is when
system reboots, the CD-ROM just wouldn't work, unless
I force a manual module probe, the CD/DVD drive is

HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-S200, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM

Currently, I took out the kudzu mount option from
/etc/fstab from /dev/hdc and it works good.  Anyone
running into similar problems?  Thanks.

2. I know the mysql server is running but how do i know it's accepting

Maybe something is wrong with the spanning tree algorithm in one of the
switches and they are not passes on routing info ??

Have you put the switch to switch connection into one of the "Working"
PC ports to see if that helps?  When you try to talk to one of the
remote hosts, does the link/data light flash on the port which links to
the switches together?   And one step further, does the link/data lights
on the remote switches PC ports flash ??

IE: Is the request getting out ?

  Subject: Updated openssh packages available
  From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory

  Synopsis:  Updated openssh packages available
  Advisory ID:   RHSA-2002:043-10
  Issue date:2002-03-05
  Updated on:2002-03-08
  Product:   Red Hat Linux
  Keywords:  openssh sshd channel
  Cross references:  
  Obsoletes: RHSA-2001:161
  -

  1. Topic:

  Updated openssh packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7, 7.1, and
  7.2 which close a remotely-exploitable vulnerability in sshd.

  2. Relevant releases/architectures:

  Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386

  Red Hat Linux 7.1 - alpha, i386, ia64

  Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64

  3. Problem description:

  Joost Pol has discovered an off-by-one error in all versions of the OpenSSH
  daemon (sshd) prior to version 3.1.

  This issue could allow an authenticated user to cause sshd to corrupt its
  heap, potentially allowing arbitrary code to be executed on the remote
  server.  Alternatively, a malicious SSH server could be crafted to attack a
  vulnerable OpenSSH client.  

  Users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages containing OpenSSH
  3.1, which is not vulnerable to this issue.

  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
  assigned the name CAN-2002-0083 to this issue.

  4. Solution:

  Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
  relevant to your system have been applied.

  To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

  rpm -Fvh [filenames]

  where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.  Only those
  RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are
  not installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you
  can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
  desired RPMs.

  Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many
  people find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,
  launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

  up2date

  This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
  RPMs being upgraded on your system.

  5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

  60829 - HIGH: Existing users will gain root privileges.

  6. RPMs required:

can not connet to mysql

[Jianping Zhu]

I have this following code and mysql server running.

 //Connect to MySql Server
   try {
 Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
   }
   catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Can not get class Name");
   }
   
   try {
c = DriverManager.getConnection //c is instance of Connection
("jdbc:mysql://jianping.dhs.org/evote?user=username&password=mypasswd");
  }
  catch (SQLException se){System.out.println("trouble to
connect");}//

When run this java code I get "Can not get class name" and"trouble to
connect".

What is the potential reason for this. my os is redhat 7.2
Any suggetion appreciated.

RE: [OT] Can't see computers on the other switch

[Rev. David P. Giffen]

One problem I had that I did realize at the time until I traced all my
cables to see what the problem was. I realized that I had pluged one of my
cables into the port that was shared with the uplink port and a cable in to
the uplink port. Once I moved the cable that out of the shared port
everything was upand running.

Re: [somewhat OT] pci ide card

[Ed Wilts]

The Promise Ultra 100 TX2 works like a charm right out of the box.  I used
it for host-based RAID-1 and had no issues with a pair of IBM 40GB ATA100
drives - this made for a VERY fast combination!
Although there are issues with 7.2 raidtools that should prevent it from
working, a fresh install will work if you set up the mirroring at install
time.  Just remember to update your packages as soon as you get 7.2
installed.

 Odd.

 Just a thought, but have you upgraded anything else, like perl, too?
The perl version has bumped from 5.6.0 to 5.6.1 in errata, which could
affect modules you've added, although it should only make a difference
if they were modules that have a binary component.

 What error are you getting from -MCPAN?  If it is failing to retrieve
a package can you see an error message (i.e. is it failing FTP, or to
locate the package, or ... ?)

 This looks like maybe the GTk version has changed.

 Can you do "ls -l /usr/lib/libgtk*" and tell us what you see?

Dunno, but FWIW I'm using a Promise Ultra66 and it works nicely. If you 
can find out what chip is on the Promise card you can look in the 
kernel sources to see if it's supported. There is support for multiple
Promise chipsets.

Yeah, actually, that's exactly what I did.  I built this box yesterday,
downloaded all of the RPMs locally, updated them and life is good.  I was
just looking for a way to keep up to date from now on.

Can you put up2date in a cronjob to download the packages?  I thought I'd
read that in the man page, but I just thought I'd ask to make sure.

The ataraid-list at Red Hat should be useful to you. Promise TX2 seems to 
have a bad rap. Other promise stuff reported doing very well using the 
software RAID. If you're willing to use closed-source (but stable and 
useful) drivers for specific kernels, Highpoint (www.highpoint-tech.com) 
offers IDE RAID. They also build it into some motherboards like Abit or Iwill.

For seriously good Linux support, see www.3ware.com; you can get one of 
their cards for about $300 instead of the $75 for others, but they are good 
and excellent, and have full hardware RAID rather than just software.

I think that might be part of the problem cause it might affect where
the python interpreter looks for the modules.

Do rpm -ql rpm-python to see if you have an rpmmodule.so in there.
Then do "strace /usr/sbin/up2date 2>trace; grep rpm trace" to see if python
can find this module. My guess is that python is looking for it in the wrong
place. 

If that is the problem, then upgrading rpm-python to match
your new python package might help. 

It might also help to just make a symlink from the place where you have rpmmodule.so to
where python is looking for it, I don't know if the version mismatch
will cause any problems though.

As a general rule of thumb I always upgrade all the python packages when
upgrading python-proper, it's been my experience that you get the least
amount of hassle that way.

This is still a weak spot. It now backs up your settings when a new

 Raw Hide has been including "alterrnatives" support; so whatever the

Re: Firewall script and user permissions

Create a link to it in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and/or /etc/rc.d/rc5.d, calling it 
something like S99firewallss.

The command would be:

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewallss /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99firewallss

or

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewallss /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99firewallss

Then, you would have your firewall script start at bootup, or init level 
change.

Hi Andreas, thanks for the reply,

Well, I do have rpm-python installed (rpm-python-4.0.3-1.03), but does it
have to match the version of python that's installed on the system?  I just
rebuilt the new rawhide python SRPM so I have the following python packages
installed:

python-2.2-7
python-xmlrpc-1.5.1-7.x.3
python-devel-2.2-7

Does the version of python-xmlrpc have to match as well?  That wasn't built

I want to build a box with IDE software raid, I need more ide interfaces.
Does anyone know a cheap PCI IDE card that works with RH 7.2?
How about Promise Ultra 100 TX2 ?

The import error probably means you don't have the rpm-python package
installed. Do rpm -q rpm-python to check.

Installing rpm-python will probably fix it.

up2date problems

[Bill Wagner]

I'm new to using up2date, but I've got a 7.2 machine with all of the updates
applied, running a custom 2.4.18 kernel.  When I run up2date, I get the
following error:

---
# up2date

This is happening with or without any options or packages assigned to it.

Re: [OT] Can't see computers on the other switch

[Francisco Neira]

Just in case... don't you have an aditional hub (4 port will be enough)
I'm trying to setup a test pod: place the hub with 2 crossover cables and connect the 
switches to them. Then with a PC connected to the hub, sniff the traffic between 
switches. Could be interesting to watch...

Another idea that comes is replacing one switch at a time with the hub. You have time 
to experiment, don't  you? ;-)

loopback filesystem full... but it's not? but it should be?

[Furnish, Trever G]

Anyone have any experience with loopback devices?  I think they're broken in
redhat 7.2 and I'd like confirmation / enlightenment.  I've seen erratic
behavior, including data loss and complete system crashes. :-(

I made one loopback device and of exactly 1 gigabyte and downloaded about
650 megabytes of files into it.  All was well.

I made another loopback device with another file, and all seemed well except
that I couldn't fill it anywhere near full.  On a 640MB file I ran out of
space after cp'ing in only 330MB worth of files.  This behavior was
reproducible and consistent.  Furthermore, the following command caused the
entire system to crash:

# updates2 is the mountpoint of the problem loopback device.
# 307200k is 300 megabytes
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/space/updates2/testfile bs=1k count=307200

After booting back up, wiping and recreating the device, and remounting the
second loopback filesystem the same thing happened again.

Booting again, and recreating the device, followed by attempting to mount -o
loop the device file again without using losetup first caused the system to
almost immediately crash.  Nothing in the logs, just sayonara.  Admittedly I
should've used losetup to associate the loopback device with a file first
(forgot), but it still shouldn't cause the entire system to crash, should
it?

'setenv' is used by csh, which you can use if you set your shell to
'tcsh'.

When using bash, set the variable like this:

I have three hosts on one switch, and they are all talking to each other

Subject: [OT] Can't see computers on the other switch


Hi!

OT but no idea where else to go...

I have a home network using two simple desktop switches; one a 4-port 
Linksys with 2-port printserver builtin, and the other an 8-port Linksys. 
The 4-port's "uplink" connection is used to hook up to a normal port on the 
8-port, and link lights show up properly when connected or disconnected.

Machines on each switch can see each other perfectly, but cannot see 
machines on the other switch at all, returning "Destination Host 
Unreachable" errors.

Any ideas on what might cause this? I've already tried three known-good 
cables, so I doubt that could be the problem...

Don't have $250 right now, and for the last two years I haven't had any 
problems with Linksys equipment. Plan to upgrade to better equipment anyway 
later, but for the moment must solve the problem rather than switching the 
equipment.

Makes no sense to me that the switches work well on their own but won't 
talk to each other despite showing link lights, etc.

However, if you're using Gnome, I'm guessing that the culprit is esd. If
so, you can try running realaudio using the esddsp wrapper:

Maybe Linksys took a cue from Cisco concerning auto-negotiation?  Who

I haven't used the Linksys switches. On the Netgear, the uplink port is
actually both a normal port *and* an uplink port depending on if the
button is pressed in or not. On mine I used the uplink port on both, and
had the button pressed on *one* of them.

If yours is setup differently, and your ip addresses and netmask are set
correctly (all on the same subnet?), then, well, a smarter man than me

Thanks for the shot. There are no buttons on the switches, but there are 
uplink ports (shared with normal ports, don't plug cables into both!).

Normal cables are for computer-to-switch communication; crossover cables 
are for switch-to-switch (assuming normal ports) or computer-to-computer. 
Uplink ports are a convenient way to crossover the connection so that you 
can use a normal cable to connect switch-to-switch. In order for this to 
work, you should of course only use 1 uplink port, and use a normal port on 
the other switch.

I'm 100% certain I've done this correctly.

What else could it be?

in fact, i've tried it from both
could this have anything to do with the fact that it's on a sparc64 box?

Re: rpm dependency..... NOT A GOOD IDEA

[Jonathan M. Slivko]

Are you doing this from a console terminal or from an Xterm? If your doing
it in X, that would explain why. Try doing it in a console terminal and see
if you still get that error.

Re: [OT] Can't see computers on the other switch

[Paul Greene]

Just taking a shot here since I have something similiar at home (though
using a Netgear hub and switch).

Is there buttons you can press to enable connections to another hub/switch
(so that you don't have to use a crossover cable)? Is there an "uplink"
port on each switch?

Use the uplink port on both, and push the "uplink" button on *one* of
the switches.

If there's no uplink toggle switch, then I believe you have to use a
crossover cable to connect the two switches together.

Re: rpm dependency..... NOT A GOOD IDEA

[daniel]

ok
i did the "upgrade install" option
and when asked to install dependencies, i said "yes".

BAD IDEA

not only does up2date still not work
  (it's installed but it's giving me errors (posted later)
but all of my perl modules have somehow disappeared
and i can't seem to install them through perl -MCPAN -e shell
it's telling me that it can't get the packages it wants
so in short, this only made things worse

here's the error i'm getting though up2date though:

[root@computername dir]# /usr/sbin/up2date -u
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 199 in ?
from client import Client
  File "/usr/share/up2date/client.py", line 14 in ?
import _gtk
ImportError: libtgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file

isn't gtk belong with X? not a commandline program?

[OT] Can't see computers on the other switch

[Rodolfo J. Paiz]

Hi!

OT but no idea where else to go...

I have a home network using two simple desktop switches; one a 4-port 
Linksys with 2-port printserver builtin, and the other an 8-port Linksys. 
The 4-port's "uplink" connection is used to hook up to a normal port on the 
8-port, and link lights show up properly when connected or disconnected.

Machines on each switch can see each other perfectly, but cannot see 
machines on the other switch at all, returning "Destination Host 
Unreachable" errors.

Any ideas on what might cause this? I've already tried three known-good 
cables, so I doubt that could be the problem...

Oh, right, there.  That's a tough call for a mailing list operator.  The
option in Mailman is "anonymous_list", which replaces the sender with the
list address, thus abscuring information about the sender.

With this option, senders can completely obscure their identities not only
from spammers but from everyone on the list.  It's not clear to me that
this is a good idea, because it obscures attributions (what gets filled in
for the author in the line

On Tue, 12 Mar 2002, Robert Canary wrote:

if Robert Canary doesn't appear in the To: field?), and because it
inhibits off-list replies.  Also, spammers would have to be subscribed to
the list to harvest this information.  In the archives, (which for this
list are restricted to subscribers anyway) the sender's e-mail *is*
replaced by the list address.

Some more detail would certainly be good. Where are you downloading
from? Redhat ftp? If so, try one of the many, many mirrors. That's the
problem...everybody hits the main site when a new release or new
errata comes out.

RE: Automatically configure ulimit -SOLVED

[Richard Wilson]

AFAIK
hard means that is the absolute max amount of (in my case) open files
soft means that the user will default to that amount.

So fo example my requirement was that the user account would have 8096 files
open, rather than setting the hard to 8096 and then requiring that the user
"ulimit -n 8096" from the default 1024, I put in the soft setting to 8096.
When I log on as a user and type ulimit -a I get the desired result.

Hope this helps 

Richard

Great, thanks.

Now can anyone explain the difference between "hard" and "soft"
limits?

Bullshit removed...

As you can see above, I use spamassassin to flag spam messages which are
then automatically sorted.  Those from proven spam sites go directly
to /dev/null.  Others like this are put into a holding directory for me to
double check.

I also do a virus scan of all incoming mail using mailscanner and regularly
pick up virus laden attachments.  The samba list used to be really bad
until they started scanning for both virus and spam.

Unfortunately programs like these fill a real need in today's world!

Printtool refuses to allow single digit aliases

[Russell, D (Duncan)]

Hello,

Has anybody else noticed that printtool does not seem to like printer alises
which consist of only a single digit.

We used to have our systems setup using aliases such as 1, 2 etc so we could
type;
lpr -P1 blahblahblah
to print, but whenever I enter a single digit alias it complains that the
only characters allowed are [a-z][A-Z][0-9] which single digits certainly
fall in.

Any help appreciated.

This is running under Red Hat 7.1 by the way.

Apparently, e-mail addresses don't appear in the attributions, but they do
appear in people's signatures (if people provide them there).  How would
you suggest that they be removed?  How wold you suggest that people
provide off-list contact information if all strings of the form

Negative, Mike. Default policies are configurable by the user. I have DROP for input

Re: sun sparc station 5

First of all, it's important to find out which *type* of SparcStation 5
you've got there. Basically, there are four: A 70MHz, an 85MHz, a 110MHz and
a 170MHz variant. The latter is using a slightly different CPU[0], which
causes problems with Linux. For example, you cannot install RHL 6.2 out of
the box on a SS5/170 (however, it does *run* on that machine, albeit not
100% stable). Also, as you can imagine, there are differences in speed.

I have a SS5/170 at home, running Linux. As mentioned, RHL 6.2 could not be
installed. I ended up installing Mandrake 7.1b instead[1] (Debian or SuSE might
be another option, but I haven't tried either of them on this machine - they
might also be more up to date than RHL 6.2). It was working, but not too
reliably - not something I'd use for a server.
Later, I moved that Mandrake 7.1b installation to RHL 6.2 [2], then upgraded
to Aurora 0.2 [3]. As for speed, I'd say the comparison with a P75 or P90 is
probably correct, however, in my experience, the Sparc seems to cope better
under load than an equivalent P75/P90 [4]. For lightweight sever use, they
should be absolutely fine, especially the 110MHz and the 170MHz version. As
a comparison: I have a SparcStation LX (which has less power) running as
firewall/NAT/dial-up "server" and it's doing nicely (though it's running
OpenBSD).
As workstations, they're probably a bit slow - one of the main problems would
be graphics (most of them only have an 8bit frame buffer, 24bit ones exist,
but are hard to come by). As X Terminal, I'd expect them to be fine.

Also, make sure you have enough RAM in them - SS5 RAM is not exactly cheap.
And you have to keep in mind that the internal disks are 80pin SCA connector
Fast SCSI - again, not quite that easy (or at least cheap) to get. You can,
however, also use external SCSI drives.


For more information about the SS5:

http://www.obsolyte.com/sun_ss5/

(http://www.obsolyte.com/ is a great starting point for information about
them olde Suns, besides Sun's own pages).

Also, have a look at the FAQs at that page and of course the
SPARC Linux FAQ: http://www.ultralinux.org/faq.html

And, last but not least: There's also a Red Hat-hosted mailing list
specific to RHL on Sparc... :-)

Cheerio,

Thomas

P.S.: And of course, there's always OpenBSD [5] or Solaris, if you decide not to
  run Linux on that box...


[0] "TurboSPARC" instead of "SuperSPARC"
[1] Debian or SuSE might be another option, but I haven't tried either of
them on this machine - they might also be more up to date than RHL 6.2

Apparently, e-mail addresses don't appear in the attributions, but they do
appear in people's signatures (if people provide them there).  How would

I run Red Hat 6.2 with all patches on several Sun SparcStation 5's, ranging 
from 70MHz to 110MHz and all with only 32MB of RAM and 1GB of disk. Each 
one is a DNS server, mail server, and central logging station for a small 
network (10-20 users), and they cost me less than $100 each.

The machines are *remarkably* stable, and run well for long periods of time.

Maybe... I'd be careful comparing processor speeds for different architectures.

Try it and see. I used one as a normal workstation for a few days, with

Re: star office install from rh 7.2 cd

[hanfamily]

I found this link to download it. Maybe you should download
it from here and ditch the version that came with RedHat.
Sun purchased StarOffice and is making it available for free (see
www.sun.com/staroffice).
It is about 65M to download, so you might want to just send them the
US$10 to send you a CDROM
Another option is go to Best Buy and buy it then you get a users
guide and cd. Not a bad investment when you can load it on all the
computers you want and have a book to hand to anyone who has a 
question. This is what I did

I installed a normal workstation:
KDE
mysql
apache
php

All this is running at the same time. Sure, I'm not getting the same
performance as my PII-266 but it doesn't matter. KDE works fine, mysql
delivers in connection with apache and php around 50 querys a day so it's
enough.

I have a CMI8330 sound chip driven by the commercial OSS drivers, and I
find that when I first start up the drivers, the sound volume will be
very low until I open gmix, and sometimes I have to fiddle with the
different volume controls (not just master, but PCM or CD volume
controls) to get full volume (and it's not just simply turning the
volume up, either. Just clicking on the slider or moving it an
infinitesimal amount will bring about a dramatic increase in volume,
after which the mixer operates normally). I know it's a different sound
card/driver than you're using, but perhaps the same magic solution
applies.

Alternatively, have you tried using the ALSA drivers?
