Re: minicom as root

Sorry for miss read your message. I do have no problem for

/etc/minicom.users ? How are you invoke minicom. $HOME/.bashrc or from
command line ?
 From console or on a telnet session ?

Recreate RAID w/ fdisk RH7.3

[James D. Parra]

Hello,

Wanted to add a couple more drives the IDE RAID under RH7.3, but can't the
OS to boot up. No problem though, it does dump me into a command mode to
fdisk the drives. The problem I am having is while in fdisk and after typing
't' to enter in the type of partition I want ('fd' for linux raid) I get,
'You cannot change a partition into an extended one or vice versa. Delete it
first.' I did delete it, but I get the same result.

Anyone have some good tips on how to recreate an ide software raid under RH
7.3?

Many Thanks,

HHHmmm. I'm still missing something because the above thing you told me is
completely logical and is in fact what I tried the first time. My steps are:

1> Boot from CD.
2> Select the drivers installation option
3> Insert drivers disk when asked.

But after this, it just jumps back into installation without picking up the
card. No screen showing me the card setting or anything, or the fact that
it's even found it, just the boot floppy light comes on, goes back off, and
that's it. Straight into installation again.

Am I missing a step?

Ed.

Re: help me

[K.Deepak]

Dear Mike,

   rpm.pbone.net  is an enchanting site for
searching rpm apart from rpmfind.net. a very neat, well desgined,
organized,  simple and highly powerful search engine.

The url for the same is http://rpm.pbone.net

Few lines about the site

"PBone RPM search" is specialistic tool for users of Linux operating
system especially for users of RPMable distributions. "PBone RPM search"
aim is to find name of rpm packet which contains file given by user. It
also supports "provides" rpm tag. With these properties system is
especially helpful for these users who install or compile new software but
for some reasons haven't installed all of the required librares or files
and  are not able to investigate what rpm packet is missing on their
system. Additionally one can narrow search down to a few releases or to
one Linux release. "PBone RPM search" is also designed for locate
RPM files on various FTP servers.Of course you have possibility to choose
one or more Linux distributions.


and believe me, you can search  rpm's in a easier manner than rpmfind.net

Try it out

Thanks
K.Deepak

It's a bug, I believe (one of several still left in the redhat network
manager when it comes to wireless and multiple interfaces).  Edit
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx (where x is the number of the
wireless interface) and insert the line

TYPE="Wireless"

Then rerun redhat-config-network and it should show you the wireless
options.

Got it.  Upon closer reading of man plugger, (which I gather is the
driver for all the helper apps), I find this line:

"Note that Plugger will check the first word of the command and search
your $PATH  for  that command. If that command is not found Plugger will
go to the next line in your pluggerrc."

I took this to mean that Plugger will not make use of a fully qualified
path name.  I also took it to explain why gv would always run, as it's
the next in line.

Soo.put a copy of acroread in /home/john/bin,
which is in my path, changed the helper command line to simply:

acroread %s

and voila!

Seems to me that not allowing for a fully qualified path...which BTW is
what adobe had suggested...is a plugger bug.  Agree?

going back to lower version of linux

[malathi kodi]

hi
I need some help regarding redhat linux installation.
I have upgraded my linux PC from 6.1 to 7.1.
Later came to know that 7.1 linux is not full, I got it free by purchasing a 
linux book. For everything I need to download again the packages. I read in 
the book, that this cd does not have complete packages.

Now I want to go back to my previous version 6.1, which I am not able to do. 
On reboot, it does not read the cd, manully also the installation is not 
popping up.
How can I reinstall linux 6.1.

Thank You

rpm info out of date

[Stephen Gevers]

I did an upgrade of 7.3 over 7.2.  The installation failed on the third 
CD after upgrading most of my system.  I manually upgraded the rpms that 
were on the third CD.  The login screen says Valhalla and uname reports 
the kernel to be 2.4.18-3.  I am also using KDE 3.0.  However, the RPM 
database still thinks I'm using 7.2 packages.  The RedHat Network shows 
the system as a 7.2 system my RPM commands show the kernel version as 
2.4.7-10 and the KDE packages to be at release 2.  I tried doing an rpm 
--rebuilddb, but the results of my rpm queries still show the old kernel 
and kde packages.  RHN wants to upgrade my KDE 2 packages (a bad idea, 
since I'm using KDE 3).  Does anyone have any idea how to get rpm to 
reflect the actual packages that were installed?  My best theory is that 
the RPM gets updated at the end of the install and since the install 
failed, it didn't get updated.  Help!

PAM problems

[Pappas, Nicholas C]

Support,
Hello, I have an odd problem.  From what I can see, PAM is in the
default install of Red Hat version 7.2.  At the current time, however, I
would like to use the traditional authentication mechanism to authenticate
our users (IE not using Kerberos or MD5).

Here is the situation, if our users have a password that is less than or
equal to 8 characters they get authenticated right away. If the password
length is greater than 8 characters (like any good password is) then the
authentication fails.  It seems to me that UNIX style password
authentication doesn't care about the characters beyond length of 8.  But
PAM sends the entire password string given to the decryption process and
this is what makes it fail.  In order for the users who have a password
longer than 8 characters to be authenticated, they must only put in the
first 8 characters (IE an incomplete password guess).  Not only is this an
annoyance to our users, it is just wrong.  If you would please let me know
how I can make PAM successfully 
authenticate a password longer than 8 characters without using MD5  I would
greatly appreciate it.  Thanks!

Sincerely,

Nick Pappas

Where do you expect to load the kernel from? And what CPU/Board? 

The basic process is to POST the board, load the kernel into SDRAM,
and run the kernel. Where you want to load the kernel from determines
the other initialization work you need to do. 

Alternately, have you looked at PMON? It may provide everything you
need for a MIPS-based system.

redhat-config-network & wireless

[Bart Decrem]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get my Orinoco wireless card to work with Red Hat 7.3 on my Dell 
Inspiron 5000e but
have been having trouble.  So today I figured I'd try playing by the rules and use the 
Red Hat
Network Configuration tool.  

I've got version 1.0.1 of redhat-config-network.rpm (the one that came with 7.3).  
When I click on
the Add button, I see entries for Ethernet, ISDN, modem, xDSL, Token Ring, Cipe - but 
not for
Wireless.  The Red Hat online documentation says that there should be an entry for 
Wireless
devices (I guess as of 7.2), but interestingly my Help file for redhat-config-network 
doesn't list
Wireless devices - I guess though that that is just a documentation oversight.

To make sure I didn't screw up my settings when I was experimenting earlier, I threw 
away my
/etc/pcmcia folder and reinstalled the Kernel-pcmcia-cs and wireless-tools RPMs. When 
I start my
computer, during the boot process it shows a line or two about Yenta and then gives 
PCMCIA the
green light.

If I do lsmod, the proper driver (orino_cs) shows up.  When I insert my Orinoco card, 
I get two
happy beeps.  dmesg shows the card as properly identified. 

So why can I not use redhat-config-network to configure my wireless modem?  

Is there another user-friendly way to configure my wireless card? Until today, I tried 
installing
Lucent's driver (wavelan2_cs) but I get confused trying to figure out how exactly I'm 
supposed to
edit the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts files (since there seems to be some configuration 
conflict
between how pcmcia-cs.tar.gz does things and the way Red Hat set things up) - so I'm 
trying to
simplify my life by going with the Orinoco_cs driver and the standard Red Hat GUI 
tools...

I'm not an engineer, so I'd appreciate it if you could help me using newbie-lingo :)

Thanks,

Bart

Redhat 7.1 Core file size limit

[Amrith Kumar]

With 'ulimit -Sc unlimited' and 'ulimit -Hc unlimited' I was under the
impression that there would be no limit on the size of a core file. However
with a process that allocates about 2900 MB (~3G) of memory, the core file
is getting truncated at INT_MAX bytes.

Is there any way to go beyond this and get RedHat 7.1 use largefile support
for core files. 

In particular, I'm looking for a configuration option and am very much less
inclined to rebuild the kernel.

Is this something that is known to be fixed in a later version of Redhat ?

A quick review of the 7.1 sources indicate that fs/exec.c is opening a core
file without providing the O_LARGEFILE option. Whether it can provide the
option (and whether it would then work) is something I've not tried.

Thanks for any assistance,

RE: 3com nic not getting initialized

Yes, we have tested every card in the 3 identical (RH) machines in other

I think I will have to give up on this OS as it takes way too much time
(=money) to screw around with these simple and trival yet vital functions.

Thanx anyway...

Acrobat is installed in the directory shown.

I also have run the script /usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/Netscape

They are correct.  "correct" in the sense that they are identical 
to other machines on the same exact subnet.  And those other machines (not

Blank in both cases.  Although you've sparked my curiosity: how

whichcd is a program that Michael wrote.

As for rxvt, it's on the third CD (but you might find it simpler

RE: Samba SWAT missing from Redhat 7.3? -- whichcd

[James D. Parra]

Hello,

*to add to this thread*

This is very helpful, but I couldn't find 'whichcd' after my install of
redhat 7.3. There seems to be a lot a packages not installed on the initial
installation with this version of redhat. Tried to use 'rxvt' and found it
also wasn't loaded by default either. Very odd decision making at RedHat.

Long shot, hoping for cupee doll: check ecn. 

[root@cadillac pstotext]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn
0

Though I would think this would be sporadic for some sites, unless
using something like a mini-router (maybe).

Long delays...

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

Okay, I no longer know what else to do.  I have two machines running RH7.3,
and several others running versions between 7.0 and 7.2.  None of them are
having problems except for the two 7.3 ones.

Whenever I want to make an outbound connection, say through lynx,
ncftp/ftp, it just sits there for a long time and eventually I get a message
back telling me it couldn't establish a connection.  Now, before you start
telling me to check my iptables settings, let me point this out:  One of the
machines has _nothing_ in terms of any firewall scripts, or iptables.  It's
basically wide open.  Except only port 22 has something listening to it, all
other services are shut off.  The other machine has an iptables setup on it
which is basically:

--

# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target prot opt source  destination
ACCEPT all  --  anywhereanywhere
ACCEPT all  --  anywhereanywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
REJECT tcp  --  anywhereanywhere tcp option=!2 \
 reject-with tcp-reset
ACCEPT tcp  --  anywhereanywhere tcp dpt:ftp
ACCEPT udp  --  anywhereanywhere udp dpt:ftp
ACCEPT tcp  --  anywhereanywhere tcp dpt:ssh
ACCEPT udp  --  anywhereanywhere udp dpt:ssh
ACCEPT tcp  --  anywhereanywhere tcp dpt:http
ACCEPT udp  --  anywhereanywhere udp dpt:http

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source   destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source   destination
ACCEPT all  --  anywhere anywhere

--


My resolvers are working fine.  In fact I can run dig/host/nslookup and get
instant feedback from my DNS servers.  Yet, I can't, for the life of me, figure
out why lynx/ncftp/ftp and others just time out and not do anything...on BOTH
machines.

This is a (custom) server setup, so don't ask me to run mozilla or any
other GUI program because they're just not installed.

rpm info out of date

[Stephen Gevers]

I did an upgrade of 7.3 over 7.2.  The installation failed on the third 
CD after upgrading most of my system.  I manually upgraded the rpms that 
were on the third CD.  The login screen says Valhalla and uname reports 
the kernel to be 2.4.18-3.  I am also using KDE 3.0.  However, the RPM 
database still thinks I'm using 7.2 packages.  The RedHat Network shows 
the system as a 7.2 system my RPM commands show the kernel version as 
2.4.7-10 and the KDE packages to be at release 2.  I tried doing an rpm 
--rebuilddb, but the results of my rpm queries still show the old kernel 
and kde packages.  RHN wants to upgrade my KDE 2 packages (a bad idea, 
since I'm using KDE 3).  Does anyone have any idea how to get rpm to 
reflect the actual packages that were installed?  My best theory is that 
the RPM gets updated at the end of the install and since the install 
failed, it didn't get updated.  Help!

The kernel does no defragging job, nor does the ext2 filesystem itself.
What really happens is that the ext2 filesystem is designed in such a
way as to prevent fragmentation from building up in the first place.

I'm not a filesystem hacker myself, but from what I've read I can tell
you that the system takes the following measures:

* When allocating disk space, the filesystem allocates several block at
once to increase the amount of contigous blocks belonging to a file.
Under light disk load conditions, there is no noticeable effect, but
under heavy disk load, when there are lots of processes requesting
filesystem space, it gets allocated more contiguosly to each file.

* When creating files, the filesystem code tries to spread them as
evenly as possible (within performance constraints) across the
filesystem space. This gives files room to grow contiguosly untill the
filesystem approaches 100% capacity.

Despite these measures, a filesystem can get fragmented. You can check
the fragmentation of a filesystem with 'e2fsck -n -f /dev/whatever'. If
you try it on a mounted filesystem, disregard the errors that will
appear, since they are meaningless on a mounted filesystem. Also note
that this takes a long time on large filesystems.

There is a tool to defrag ext2 filesystems whose name I don't remember
right now, but the techniques described above make it mostly unneeded.

Finally, make a note that these comments only apply to the ext2 and ext3
filesystems. Other filesystems behave differently.

I hope these helps you better understand the fragging issues in linux.

Cheers,

  In general you should never have to defrag an ext2 filesystem.  Ext2
will "defrag" itself in the course of creating and deleting file.

Defragmenting

[Alexander Shaw]

Hi everyone,

Not really a problem but would appreciate if someone can tell me if I'm
correct.

I'm a fairly new Linux user and in a quiet moment I suddenly thought about
defragmenting the drives on my RH 7.2 server. I did a search of the net and
from what I have read am I correct in assuming that defragmentation is an
integral part of the kernel and it happens automatically?

If I'm wrong, how does one degfragment a Linux system?

looked lately but I'm assuming this should say...
#!/bin/sh

If it does then the file is possibly corrupted.

One possibility is that you had unzipped/tarred it on a WinXX box then FTPed
it using binary transfer. This would put bad characters at the ends of the
lines and cause this error. Samba transfers could also do this.

You could check for bad characters using od.
od -c configure

If you see a lot of "\r \n" then it is in Win format (bad). It should be just
"\n"

If you simply untarred the source directly in place then you may want to
check the integrity of the download.


Have fun,

Re: disabling telnet display of host specific information in Redhat7.2

[Mike Burger]

Did you comment out all 5 lines?

#echo "" > /etc/issue
#echo "$R" >> /etc/issue
#echo "Kernel $(uname -r) on $a $SMP$(uname -m)" >> /etc/issue

#cp -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net
#echo >> /etc/issue

The third line is the line which adds the linux 2.4.9-31...the hostname 
probably just gets popped in there.

The 4th line, of course, is what copies /etc/issue to /etc/issue.net.

You might need to check other init scripts to make sure that nothing else 
is touching the issue and issue.net files.

Other than that, I'm afrid I can't be of much more help, probably.

That doesn't do it.  I already had rc.local edited, and have made sure that
issue and issue.net are empty.  But when I connect via telnet I get 

Linux 2.4.9-31 (hostname.domain) (14:01 on Monday, 24 June 2002)

Where's the Linux 2.4.9-31 and the hostname coming from?

RE: Newbie kernel question

[Kamal Jain]

Thanks to everyone who helped me with this.  When I re-ran the update
agent after installing the older kernel sources from CD, it offered to
get me the newer kernel sources.

I then just followed the kernel how-to and tweaked as necessary.  I've
learned that it's important to save your configuration if you've changed
anything, because there were a fair number of changes from the default
kernel installation, and doing a "make xconfig" starts you at the
defaults.

Now my system is running 2.4.18=5 with NTFS enabled in the kernel.  Can
NTFS support just be loaded as necessary by loading and unloading the
module at run time, thus avoiding adding it to the kernel?

Re: Raid Questions?

[Wesley Murphy]

Raid level one is a mirrored drive right?

That means that if you have set the raid up correctly, both drives are 
presented to the OS as one physical drive.

Partitioning would just be the same as a normal drive.


eg 


/boot   30Megs
swap512 Megs
/   8gigs
/home   12gigs

whatever

I find it's easier for upgrades if you have a boot and a root and a swap, then 
you shouldn't run out of space on the root when upgrading to RH 7.4 or RH 8.0 
etc...

Redhat 7.1 core file size limit

[Amrith Kumar]

With ulimit -Sc unlimited and ulimit -Hc unlimited, I was under the
impression that core file sizes are unlimited.

It appears that there is still a INT_MAX limit on file size.

Does anyone know of a configuration parameter that will up the maximum size
of a core file or cause the OS to use largefile support for core files.

Thanks,

Re: File/Directory Ownership..

[Jason P Holland]

groups are you friend.  create a webadmin group, add everyone who needs to
update web pages to that group, then assign the group permissions to the
files they need access to, such as /var/www/html or whatever.  or, you
could also use sudo to give "limited" root access to certain files and
commands, such as allowing only certain users to restart the web server, 
or edit httpd.conf.  if that is not ideal, you could also create sym links 
from the main html folder over the users home directories, and let them 
manage content that way, but i think groups is more ideal, and less 
confusing.

As far as I can see, the web admin only needs access to two diectorys
/var/www/
and 
/etc/http (whatever the http config files are in)

so make them owned by group web (for example and make him/her a
member of that group.

disabling telnet display of host specific information in Redhat 7.2

How does one get rid of the telnet identifier banner  in Redhat 7.2.  I

Raid Questions?

I have RH 7.3 and a dell poweredge server with 2 scsi drives and RAID 1. I 
am trying to install 7.3 on the server, but when I get to the partition 
section I am clueless about raid setup. Here is what it shows me on the

Mirror 0001). First of all, I have installed linux many times, but never 
with scsi or raid (don't really know anything about them other than basics). 
Second, I am trying to set this server up as a file server (samba). If 
anyone could help or walk me through the partitioning for RAID 1 on my setup 
I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

p.s.
shouldn't it show me two hard drives?

pam: disable strong passwords

[Surly Zek]

Hello,

I am trying to disable strong passwords for 1 server
only.  I am looking at the files under /etc/pam.d/ but
do not see how to do this.  I checked the online
documentation "for system administrators" at the pam
site.  It says to ask here since I am running Red Hat
7.x.  

I tried setting the minlen=1, but I still get
complaints about "password WAY to short".  I would
like to disable all password reqirments, I do not want
a minlen or for passwords to be checked against a
dictionary.   I also tried commenting out the cracklib
line under pam.d/system-auth, but then some commands
broke, such as "passwd", with token validation errors.
 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  
Please cc: me on replies.

Thank you.

Re: minicom as root

[John Telford]

The /dev/tty ports are set as follows:
crw-rw-rw-1 root uucp   4,  64 Jun 22 21:13 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw1 root uucp   4,  65 Jun 22 17:10 /dev/ttyS1

Still, minicom works using /dev/ttyS0 as a non-root user, but fails to
work as user root.

Is there a pam or some other security mechanism preventing root from
using minicom on /dev/ttyS0?

Thanks ...John

Samba SWAT missing from Redhat 7.3?

[Engstrom_Carl]

What happened to SWAT?

I couldn't find it anywhere in the standard installation of 7.3.  Was it
replaced with another GUI or did the folks at Redhat decide that smb.conf
was so easy to configure manually that any other tools were useless?

I looked for Ksamba and GnoSamba, but I couldn't find any that looked
worthwhile (read: were easy and straight forward to install on 7.3).

thanks

Yes, I see this problem all the time on a RedHat 7.2 box that we use to
train people on occassionally. I've not looked into the cause of the
problem, but if you right click on the desktop, launch a shell, you can...

$ panel &

File/Directory Ownership..

[Ted Gervais]

I am wondering about how I can set up good control over the use of 'root' 
and file/directory ownership without hurting too many people.

The situation is ,  our Club has a Computer that is maintained  remotely 
through a dedicated internet link and it seems everyone that has to do 
things on that computer wants ROOT access.  For example, the person that 
maintains the WEB page says he cannot do his amendment work etc., without 
root access.
It was my feeling that only ONE person should have ROOT access and the 
other (sub/administrators)) should have something less than ROOT 
access.  Maybe I am getting paranoid here but it seems too many funny 
little things are happening such that is done only by a person with root 
access that there is now a need for better control.

So, if we were going to take away root access from the WEB page 
administrator (for example) could he not still do all his work (remotely) 
with ROOT access?
In other words assign him a user name and password and maybe attach certain 
group permissions to that user name and have all his web page activities 
run off his user directory?  Something like that?? Or should we live with 
the confusion and political unrest that we are having now??  Too many cooks 
in the kitchen right now..

RE: sendmail hacking

[Sentinel Sentinel]

Sounds like you want to setup a mail hub.  Appendix A of the sendmail book from 
Oreilly books has a great example which should do the trick.

Basically setup your definitions as such:

D{REMOTE} masq.server.com
D{HUB} server.others.think.email.comes.from.com


Basically the "REMOTE" address is the hub you forward email's to.  This is where every 
email comes from.  The "HUB" is where everyone thinks your email comes from.  They can 
be the same server but in my case I split them up.

In ruleset #0 I setup the following rule:


R$+  $#hub $@${REMOTE} $:$1   forward to hub


I think that was basically it.  I don't often hack sendmail.cf.  The book while 
slightly out of date was EXTREEMELY useful.  I strongly recommend it!

  I just recently installed RH 7.0 on a machine with the Adaptec 1542.
 I had to use the 'drivers.img' file from the /images directory of the
install cd. Use rawrite to make a floppy image of the additional
drivers,  and when the install process can't find your card, use the
drivers from the floppy. Just select the  Adapthec154x series and the
default settings.   If you have to pass specific options to get the
card recognized, use the form:  
  aha1542=0x330 
   or,   aha1542=330

But it's really a dns problem, and there isn't a lot sendmail can do to
fix it.  So many spammers forge their email headers that many MTAs check
to make sure the IP matches the hostname.  The only way I know of to get
around it is to make sure the IP and hostname match.  Provided your ISP
isn't blocking smtp port 25 from your machine, a dyndns account will
allow you to email directly from your computer to any other MTA on the
net, just like you want.  I'm using it on my dialup connection now.  

Using dyndns is easier than it sounds.  You register for a free account
and pick a hostname under dyndns.org, and download a client that watches
for a connection on ppp0 or eth0.  Whenever the ip changes, the client
sends it to dyndns.org, and dyndns updates its zonefiles so that your
hostname matches your current ip.  The ddclient rpm is easy to install.
It starts at bootup like any other service, and I never have to worry
about it.  Except that I can now send mail from localhost.localdomain to
any MTA on the net.

Of course, you could also /sbin/ifconfig eth0 or ppp0, edit sendmail.mc

define(`confDOMAIN_NAME',`some_random_hostname.your_isp.com')dnl

generate a new sendmail.cf, restart sendmail, send the mail, comment out
the above line when you disconnect, and restart sendmail again.  There
is probably some way to automate this, but I'm sure dyndns is easier!

Dear All,


These lines would help you to truncate a file in the
/var/log  directory using syslogd and logrotate

I am using the maillog file as the example. Please add the following lines in
/etc/logrotate/syslog

/var/log/maillog {
   weekly
   rotate 5
   copytruncate
   compress
   notifempty
   missingok
}

You can call the command  /usr/sbin/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/syslog  to
invoke it at the time you want or please make it as a cron job.

After you truncate the file, if it's a log file, you should setup
logrotate and enable the "compress" option in /etc/logrotate.conf.
