Printing

2002-07-17 Thread Kevin - KD Micro Software




Hello all,
 
The setup I have here is reasonably normal. I have 
the printer attached to a SCO OpenServer 5 machine and my Red Hat 7.2 box is setup to print there and has been 
working fine for the past year or so.
 
Ever since yesterday, for some unknown reason, 
printing from the Linux box will just not work. I can print from the SCO box (of 
course) and on the Windows PC (the Windows PC is setup to print directly to the 
SCO box) and have no problem. But nothing happens from the Linux 
box.
 
I've looked and looked and can't work out what is 
wrong with it.I've included the output of lpstat -t and the 
printer log file if it helps. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated!

Those are most likely subseven scans as Michael suggest. Linux 
should be safe but I would definately make sure subseven "or 
another trojan" is not installed on any microsuft boxes that use 
or have used the same IP address as your Linux. The one scanning
is most likely a child and you have nothing to worry about.

Easy way to install PHP

2002-07-17 Thread Kevin Breit


Hey guys,
So I am trying to install PHP 4.1.2 from RH73 onto a RH72 box.  When I
try to install the RPM, it complains about db3.  When I try to upgrade
db3, I get a whole slew of dependencies that db3 would break.
How can I fix this without breaking package management as well as not
installing RH73.

Problem with ext3 after upgrade

2002-07-17 Thread George Campbell


I attempted to upgrade to 7.3 from a previous version of redhat and chose 
to migrate the ext3, but I get an error similar to the following:

  "Mounting /proc filesystem
  Creating root device
  Mounting root filesystem
  ext3: No journal on filesystem on ide0(3,6)
  mount: error 22 mounting ext3
  pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed:
  Freeing unused kernel memeory: 220k free
  Kernel panic: No init found"

I've read that this is indicative of ext3 not mounting correctly and
thus not being able to find initrd.  I tried changing the entries in
/etc/fstab to ext2 so they would just mount without the journal
but I get the same error.  I also saw one suggestion that deleting
/initrd was bad so I put that back.

Does anyone have other suggestions to try and resolve this?

It won't send mail if there are no events to report, I don't believe.
Is this just one Monday and Tuesday, or does it never send mail on those 
days?

Try logging in via ssh on Sunday and Monday. You should get a mail 
reporting the login on Monday and Tuesday.

The main problem with your code is that bash doens't know the stuff in the

if [ -n "$(lsmod | grep $module)" ]; then
echo "Yeah.. that puppy is loaded"
stuff

[ -n "$(lsmod | grep $module)" ] && {

Re: Amanda Backups

2002-07-17 Thread Patrick May

I am on the AMANDA list that another poster mentioned. From what I
gather, AMANDA, in the latest beta, can do back-ups to disk (which is
what you would want to do in your "proof".

What exactly are you trying to back up that needs proving? Across the
network, even to SMB clients (Windows) can be done. I backup the local
machine (with the tape drive) and a Windows 98 client.

Having used AMANDA for a year now, and being on the list, I'm not sure
what AMANDA can't do. Well, the only thing I know that it won't do is
spanning a single file system across multiple tapes. You would need
multiple disk entries to back it up.

Re: Network problems

2002-07-17 Thread Edward Dekkers


Network problemsHi List
 I upgraded to Linux 7.3 from 7.2 and I installed samba but when I
try to connect to samba it gives me a network path error network not found
after following the technical pages for samba it appears that samba works
fine on the local machine but not from a windows machine using net view I
get an error 53 network path not found. In the testing I found that after
the upgrade telnet and ftp no longer work either and I was wondering if this
was related to samba not working. I have spent several days trying to figure
this problem out and have got no were I am hopping you can help. When I use
telnet hostname it says connecting to hostmachine than after a few minutes
it says could not open connection to host. when I ftp to hostname after a
few minutes I get a connection reset by peer. I can ping the pc and that
works ok I also found that my network printer no longer works either it is
sent to a jet direct on a windows network and it was working before I
upgraded. Do you have any suggestions on how I may fix this besides
reformatting and trying a clean install of 7.3? Or is it not a good idea to
use the upgrade path to 7.3?
Thanks Joe

No such luck I'm afraid. I wish Laptop manufacturers would simply build a
proper modem with a com port into the dang things, but any $$$ they can save
they will.

Unfortunately they use cheap soft modems a lot of the time. The argument
here is that the processors are fast enough nowadays to not suffer a big
performance hit from using one, and most laptops ship with the M$ software
anyways. Any other OS is 'out of the square', therefore not supported.
Strange though. If I'm paying AU$2700 for a laptop I'm sure I'd pay the
extra AU$50 to get a REAL modem in it, instead of the junk they put in.

> It's a PCTEL 2304WT V.92.

That's the chip I see a lot of in CNR Softmodems (or those cheap all-in-one
motherboards). I'm sure it's a winmodem. I can get a CNR one here for
AU$15.00. The price usually tells the story.

First of all, good luck with the driver. I really do hope you get it going.
If you don't you may want to go external serial or find a TRUE PCMCIA one.

OK here is the research if anyone is interested...

I found the app guname which gives a wealth of CPU information.  On the
first window it lists "Processor Type:" and then in the detailed
information/cpu it lists even more info.  With that info I've started a
list.  Note that there are missing AMD cpu's here, but I didn't have access
to them.  Also, just guessed on the Athlon.

kernel   cpu's supported

athlon - athlon
i386   - 386, 486, AM5x86
i586   - pentium, K6
i686   - pentiumII, pentiumIII, pentium4

Based on this I upgraded all RH73 systems with the corresponding kernel rpm
(and supporting rpms too), have not done any benchmarking but everything is
running great.

RAID tapes

2002-07-17 Thread Javier Gostling


Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is some way to do something similar to RAID 
on tape drives? The idea is to use several tape drives in a RAID 
configuration to give the backup/restore process similar benefits as 
traditional RAID gives to disk access (increased performance, 
reliability, etc). I figure several cheap DAT drives might have some 
benefits over a single higher cost drive in the same way as several 
small cheap drives in RAID have benefits over a single large expensive 
drive.

Cheers,

Yes, it sound like IRQ problem to me too.  Wonder what he gets when

virtual host cgi-bin problems

2002-07-17 Thread Chet Nichols III




Okay, the cgi-bins seem to be working fine if the 
site is a users web files and not a virtual host. However, if I try to access 
the cgi-bin of a virtual host, it says access denied. Is there a special rule 
for using cgi-bins if you're trying to access it using the virtual host and not 
the direct location? IE: user.domain.org is also domain.org/~user, but I can 
only access the cgi-bin if I do domain.org/~user/cgi-bin. If I try to do 
user.domain.org/cgi-bin, it says permission denied. Thanks in advance for the 
help!

Hi Jerry,

Thanks a lot for your response and help.

I am sorry I didn't look it up in the list archives. I will have a look at them 
tonight.

There are no messages concerning this device in the /var/log/messages.
Even tried using : ifconfig eth0 up & ifconfig eth0 tulip

If I use ifconfig, I am just getting basic information about lo (loop back 127.0.0.1 
and so on) and not eth0.

Network problems

2002-07-17 Thread Joe Reichmuth, PolyTechDev, GTD USA

Title: Network problems





Hi List
 I upgraded to Linux 7.3 from 7.2 and I installed samba but when I try to connect to samba it gives me a network path error network not found after following the technical pages for samba it appears that samba works fine on the local machine but not from a windows machine using net view I get an error 53 network path not found. In the testing I found that after the upgrade telnet and ftp no longer work either and I was wondering if this was related to samba not working. I have spent several days trying to figure this problem out and have got no were I am hopping you can help. When I use telnet hostname it says connecting to hostmachine than after a few minutes it says could not open connection to host. when I ftp to hostname after a few minutes I get a connection reset by peer. I can ping the pc and that works ok I also found that my network printer no longer works either it is sent to a jet direct on a windows network and it was working before I upgraded. Do you have any suggestions on how I may fix this besides reformatting and trying a clean install of 7.3? Or is it not a good idea to use the upgrade path to 7.3?

Thanks Joe

You didn't mention if you had checked the list archives yet:

http://www.prairienet.org/redhat

I searched for  Netgear tulip module

and got a good number of messages, including a couple of threads
that talk about Netgear installation problems.

It was mentioned that there may be 2 or even 3 different chip sets
that have been used and the correct module for the chipset you have
must be used.  However, you might assume that the disk that came
with the floppy would have the correct version.

It was also mentioned that a few people simply tried the card in
a different slot and it worked.

Do you get any error messages in /var/log/messages that might pertain
to eth0 or the tulip module loading?

Is it possible that you are experiencing IRQ conflicts?

HTH, for starters.

N/w Device Configuration -PSE HELP!!!

2002-07-17 Thread csp2201


Hi List,

This is my second post on the subject, as I could not get much response of help from 
list.  Please help me resolve this configuration issue.  I need to get this work asap. 
 I appreciate your time and help.

I have successfully installed RH 7.2 on my intel desk top, but having 
trouble configuring the Netgear Network card/device.  The drop down which 
contains the list of network cards while configuration the network card, 
doesn't contain the name of the Network Card I am having which is 
Netgear 310TX. Could you please help me configure the network card or 
point me to the resources which can help me do this.  

As per Red Hat HCL, this network card is supported by Red hat and on the website it 
mentioned that I need to use tulip module.  Tried using by adding an entry in the 
/etc/modules.conf like -- alias eth0 tulip.  But does'nt seem to be working. The 
floppy disk which came along with the network card does contain a directory by name 
Linux which contains a file my name tulip.

Thanks for your help & time.

Regards
CP

Re: Limited groups

2002-07-17 Thread Matthew Dodson

Finally I got this to work. After trying several different things I have
gotten my user in more than 32 groups. They can now belong to 256
groups.   I had to do some recompiles.

1. Downloaded Kernel Source - I am still running 2.4.9 with xfs patch.

2. edit the limits.h file in kernel source 
/usr/src/linux//include/linux/limits.h
change "#define NGROUPS_MAX  32" to whatever value you need

3. edit the param.h in kernel source
/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/param.h
change "#define NGROUPS 32" to whatever value you need

4. recompile kernel 

5. Boot to new kernel

6. Download glibc source rpm, I used  glibc-2.2.4-24

7. Edit limits.h and param.h for glibc. I found these in
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/linux/limits.h
/usr/include/linux/limits.h 

/usr/include/asm/param.h
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/asm/param.h

8. Install glibc rpm. 
This should install all files in /usr/src/redhat  

9. cd into /usr/src/redhat/SPEC

10. run rpm -ba glibc.spec
This will complie glibc and create the glibc RPM's

11. Install the new compiled RPMS. they should be located in 
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 or i686 etc depending on your machine.

After that your groups should now be limited to whatever you set the new
value to.

Intel MB D845EBG2 support

2002-07-17 Thread Gerard Gagliano


I am running RH 7.3 on a new machine and am having trouble with no sound and 
HD performance.  I'm running the stock 2.4.18-5 kernel.  The MB is an Intel 
D845EBG2 running a P4 2.26GHz.  Are these problem caused by lack of support 
for this MB?

TIA!
Gerard

Disk is a Maxtor 80GB ATA133.  hdparm shows the following:
/dev/hda:
 multcount= 16 (on)
 I/O support  =  0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq=  0 (off)
 using_dma=  0 (off)

 readahead=  8 (on)
 geometry = 9732/255/63, sectors = 156355584, start = 0
 busstate =  1 (on)

Note, no 32bit support, no unmasking of interrupts, no dma support.  I cannot 
set dma either.  It reports:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
 using_dma=  0 (off)

On sound, it is enabled on the MB.  KDE reports no such device (/dev/dsp) and 
says it will continue with the null device.

Re: Perl DBI:mysql

I think you're missing the server information in your script. If it's on
the same machine as the mysql server then localhost would probably work
fine.

ie
my ($dsn) = "DBI:mysql:databasename:localhost";
my ($username) = "username";
my ($pass) = "password";
$dbh = DBI->connect ($dsn, $username, $pass, { RaiseError => 1 });

Perl DBI:mysql

2002-07-17 Thread Starman P


All
i wrote the following perl script and tried to connect to mysql database:
# File name fig13.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use DBI;

$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:zipcodes","username","mypass");
if ($dbh) {
print "Connection successful\n";
}

then after giving execute permission, i tried to run it by:
# perl fig13.pl

I get error message:
DBI->connect(zipcodes) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through 
socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) at ./fig13.pl line 5

zipcodes is the database i created in mysql.
When i manually type
# mysql -u username -p zipcodes
I get prompt for passwd and when i tyep it, it takes me to the mysql promt.
So mysql server is running and that user has permission to acces "zipcodes" 
database.
What did i wrong or what can i do to make it work??

thanks for your help

Re: apache cgi-bin problems (clarified!)

2002-07-17 Thread daniel


as best i understand
your user pages have nothing to do with your virtual hosts
you can configure them separately


ServerNamewww.mydomain.com
ServerAlias   mydomain.com
ServerAdmin   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ScriptAlias   /cgi-bin/ "/home/username/cgi-bin/"
DocumentRoot  /home/username/public_html
...


the only flaw with this, (and correct me if i'm wrong) but doesn't
/home/username/ have to have permission bits of 755?

the way i've found around this is to set up symlinks in the user directories
to 'neutral' areas on the filesystem:


ServerNamewww.mydomain.com
ServerAlias   mydomain.com
ServerAdmin   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ScriptAlias   /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/username/"
DocumentRoot  /usr/local/apache/htdocs/username
...


$ cd /home/username
$ ln -s /usr/local/apache/htdocs/username htdocs
$ ln -s /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/username/ cgi-bin

this will maintain the permissions on the user's home directory and keeps
all your cgi scripts under one directory.  (makes for easy backups)

Ah..I forgot to mention the key part. I can get/access the cgi-bin through a
~user folder.. the problem occurs with virtual hosts. Example: A user has
their /home/user/public_html folder attached to a virtual host..and when I
go to list their cgi-bin, it says access denied. However, if I do
site.com/~user/cgi-bin, it lets me access it. Oddly enough, its technically

drwxr-xr-x2 usernameusergroup  4096 Apr 19 16:27 public_html

  Next, make sure the public_html directory is defined in Apache to allow

The scripts in /etc/cron.daily are all run at one time by a run-parts
command in /etc/crontab. If you want updatedb run at a different time,
you'll have to put the script somewhere other than cron.daily and edit
/etc/crontab to call the relocated script at the time that you want it to
run.

I think where I was having problems was here. I needed to delete (or

sitting there running up2date to keep all the stuff current and have the

but today i logged into the machine through ssh (only port 22 is open) and
checked my mail to find that logwatch had built up a considerable list of
emails...  but here's the hitch:  it sent me an email every day EXCEPT
monday and tuesday...  is that normal?  the emails i _did_ find showed
nothing odd, but every monday and tuesday just isn't there.  even though
there's a symlink to it in cron.daily.  is this supposed to happen?

Hi,

Ooops. Yes, it appears to be that way. I'm a newbie to PC based
machines (dell laptop), so I was thinking as if the system was
configured with an old-fashion serial line going to a
self-contained modem, rather than a piece of hardware needing
specific drivers.

It's a PCTEL 2304WT V.92.

I found a web site that has a driver called pctel-0.9.3. Is
anybody aware if that will work with RedHat 7.3? Is there any
alternative to it in case it doesn't?

Err, well in my case, the RH72 version worked fine, but the RH73 version 
was constantly dropping and restarting the connection. Installing the 
latest roaringpenguin fixed it for me. As always, YMMV.

Since the original poster does have roaringpenguin, I remember that when 
I first installed it, there was a problem with what configuration file 
it was using. I think I had some confusion with the configuration file 
created by RH prior to the installation of roaringpenguin. I don't 
remember exactly what it was though. I will try to poke around my

Hi, thank you very much for your assistance. I went through the suggested
steps, but now I have another problem.
"make modules" fails in compiling our source. The fact is that our source
did not chage since successful compilation on kernel 2.4.7-10 and redhat
7.2.
So, searching for what has been change between the 2 kernels, this is what I
found.
First, the failure occurs on a line trying to assign to current->nice on our
source code and the error states:
Structure has no member named nice.
Now: "current" points to task_struct structure defined in
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h.
On kernel 2.4.7-10 this structure did have a member named"nice', but now it
is omitted. There are probably other modifications to this structure.
Can anybody tell me how to modify our source code to meet these
modifications, or point me to a documentation, or website dealing with this
issue?
Thanks, Rafi.

"Mr. Proper makes cleaner than clean" or something like that was the slogan 
that is behind the "mrproper" option. It cleans also anything left alone by 
"make clean", e.g. your .config file.

You have to configure again after "make mrproper".

RH 7.1; Can't login at GUI screen; keeps resetting

2002-07-17 Thread Eric Rountree


Hello to all.

I'm in the middle of trying to set up a bunch of student lab workstations 
to be dual-boot machines: Windows 2000 / RedHat 7.1. These are IBM 
Intellistation E Pro workstations.

I'm currently configuring our "template" machine, from which we will take a 
disk image with RapiDeploy and copy it to all the lab machines (30 of 
them). I've tested the imaging, and dual booting does work on the target 
machines.

So much for preamble. Now I'm at the point where I'm tweaking the 
"template" machine to fit into our current network setup. I've banged my 
head against the wall with the NIS configuration, and finally got that to 
work (problem was RedHat's firewall software), so the RedHat machine will 
now find our yp hosts, passwd, group, etc. I even got the automounted file 
systems to work. The host that runs the NIS server and also houses the home 
directories is a Sun Enterprise 3500 running Solaris 8.

The problem I'm having is with the GUI login. I can log in as root okay, 
but if I try to log in as a regular user (i.e. one defined in the NIS/yp 
passwd file), it's a no-go. The screen goes black for a second, and then 
the login screen reappears. I can do this as many times as I want; the 
login screen always resets.

I can log into the machine via telnet or ssh, and everything works fine. My 
home directory is on one of the automounted file systems, but there doesn't 
appear to be a problem with that. I get full access to the directory, i.e. 
I can both read and write files.

My gut feeling is that the home directories being automounted is having 
some kind of impact on the GUI login, even though it doesn't appear to 
affect command-line login. However, my gut feeling does not seem to be 
telling what to try next.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks for reading.

I think what you want is actually perform with DNS and a redundant
server
(ideally on a separate network)

At the top of your DNS records you typically define the MX records and
set a
preference for each server, with the server that should handle the mail
receiving the lowest preference (typically 10, in case you ever need to
create a system with a still lower preference) with the backup server a
higher preference (say 40)

If you're to small to have redundant links, you might ask your ISP to
handle
this role (be clear that you are just asking for a relay, you don't want
them to hold it)

Best of luck

Have a look at "man pppoe.conf"  Probably the 2 parameters of interest to 
you are:

   USERCTL
  If the line  USERCTL=yes  (exactly  like  that;  no
  whitespace  or  comments) appears in the configura
  tion file,  then  /sbin/ifup  will  allow  non-root
  users to bring the conneciton up or down.

   PEERDNS
  If  set to "yes", then adsl-connect will supply the
  usepeerdns option  to  pppd,  which  causes  it  to
  obtain  DNS server addresses from the peer and cre
  ate a new /etc/resolv.conf file.  Otherwise,  adsl-
  connect  will not supply this option, and pppd will
  not modify /etc/resolv.conf.

You can share contacts via LDAP, but I don't think Outlook can edit LDAP
entries. You can use an LDAP client, but that's not nearly as good as
being able to update and save contact information in your PIM software.

FWIW, Evolution can do this.

Add this command to the end of the script:

  service [ipchains or iptables] save

That will save the rules to a file under /etc/sysconfig. That file is read
by the initscript that starts ipchains or iptables, whichever you're
using.

Then you can edit the script and run it and your rulews will always be
updated.

>Where is the place where I can put the static routes to keep it?

If I were doing this, I would put the commands in a script in
/usr/local/sbin and call the script by adding a line to the "start"
section of /etc/rc.d/init.d/network.

That would keep your static route configuration through upgrades (I put
/usr/local on a separate partition that I do not touch during upgrades).
I would just have to add that one line to the network initscript after the
upgrade.

This is sort of answered by the discussions of single bit subnets since
by definition there is only two address, the network and the broadcast.

from
http://www.private.org.il/tcpip-faq/faq-1.htm#private-ip

**

*  Can I use a single bit subnet?

The answer used to be a straightforward "no", because a 1-bit subnet can
only have a subnet part of all-ones or all-zeroes, both of which were
assigned special meanings when the subnetting concept was originally
defined. (All-ones meant "broadcast, all subnets of this net" and
all-zeroes meant "this subnet, regardless of its actual subnet number".)

However, the old definition of subnetting has been superseded by the
concept of Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR, pronounced 'cider').
Under CIDR the subnet doesn't really have an existence of its own and
the subnet mask simply provides the mechanism for isolating an
arbitrarily-sized network portion of an IP address from the remaining
host part. As CIDR-aware equipment is deployed it becomes increasingly
like that you will be able to use a 1-bit subnet with at least some
particular combinations of networking equipment. However, it's still not
safe to assume that a 1-bit subnet will work properly with all kinds of
equipment.

***

I get from this that is is probably not a good idea.  I guess if you had
control over every machine and program that might see the packet and the
were all CIDR aware (I usually see this as nework definitions like
192.168.0.0/24) then you might be ok.  Still not considered a good
procatice though.

Hi Mark,

Disclaimer: I'm writing this from memory and my memory's crap.

A good GForce3 is better than a cheap GForce4.  I bought a GForc4 MX but had 
problems with it (known conflict with some m/boards - MSI card and MSI 
m/board didn't even go together).  I was told to get a GForce3 TI as it was 
much better.  This I did, and I am VERY impressed with it.

As NVidia make the chipset and all the manufacturers then use those chips, 
they'll all be pretty much the same as each other depending on which chip 
they use.  The only differences will be in the dimensions of the board (very 
important as these boards are big and even on my full tower system I had some 
serious re-arranging to do), build quality (can't help here) and the size of 
the heat sink/fan used.

As the same NVidia drivers will be used regardless of which board you get, it 
won't make any difference when you come to configure your system which you 
choose.

Some of the manufacturers will tend to target a community that likes to
tinker and overclock their cards.  The cards may have faster memory
chips on them or bigger fans.  Some of the cards have no fans at all.
This was at least the case with the GF2 line.  I ended up choosing a
card that didn't have a fan since I didn't want to add noise and had no
intention of ever overclocking it.  You'll probably also find different
memory configurations amongst different manufacturers.

Lastly, check the vendor's web site.  Some offer up to date nVidia
drivers and some don't.  nVidia supplies just *reference* drivers and
does not support using them on OEM hardware - that's certainly true for
Windows drivers and I don't know if that policy has changed for Linux
drivers.

I'm having the same issue.  What I've got is a set of 300+ users that
need access to ~200 projects.  Each user may be a member of multiple
projects - >100 is not uncommon.  Each project must be protected such
that a user that's not a member of the project must not have access.

I'm currently solving this by putting each project in a unique group,
and then granting group access to the project.  Each user that needs
access then is made a member of the group.

To make matters worse, access to the project data is done via both ftp
and smb (and sometimes netatalk).

I'm open to ideas to how else to approach this.  On other platforms, I'd
use ACLs, but they're not really ready for critical production work on
Linux yet.

I have yet to find something that webmin does poorly.  Have you looked

As a user who regularly works with MS Word documents, let me be frank
about the OpenOffice compability - it ain't there yet.  You'll finds
lots of documents that don't translate correctly and these documents
don't even have to be all that complex.  MS Word Viewer displays these
documents just fine, as does WordPerfect Office.  Admitedly I've only
worked with OpenOffice on Windows but I expect the result to be the
same.  If you're planning on betting your company on Office file
compability, don't count on OO today.

Alternatively, use the web interface to Notes.  It's not great yet, but
it does work.  R6 is supposed to have a much better web interface but I
personally haven't worked with it yet.  I regularly use the R5 web
interface when reading my office mail from home - it's usable and gives
you access to the calendar and address book modules.  I don't believe
you've access to the rest of the Notes applications (at least I've never
tried to run our Notes apps through the web).

Given the mailing list you're using, I'd say the majority will probably
choose Red Hat Linux.  The why (for me) is that it is one of the
best-supported distros out there today.  It has a long history,
hopefully a long future, and although it isn't always bleeding/leading
edge, it is rock solid.  If you need security fixes, you can usually
count on Red Hat to be amongst the first set of vendors (Mandrake and
SuSe are also really good in this regard; TurboLinux is awful).

Installing a HP 5100c Scanner

2002-07-17 Thread dbonehill


I am trying to install a HP 5100c scanner on the parallel port. When investigating
for compatibility on the Web it was noted that I require modeules ppscsi
and epst. I have searched the web for these to no avail. Does anybody have
any idea on how I can get the scanner to work.

Hi Jay,

Here's a little perl script I use to create thumbnails for all images in a 
directory.  You could use this as a basis for what you want.  You'll need 
Image Magick and Image::Magick installed.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

use Image::Magick;

my $im = Image::Magick->new;

umask 0022;

# if passed filenames use them, otherwise do all
my @names = @ARGV ? @ARGV : grep { -f and -B } <*>;

for (@names) {# foreach name
  if (/ /) {  # if name contains a space
my $old = $_;
tr, ,_,s; # change spaces to _
$_ .= ".jpg" unless /\.jpg$/; # append .jpg if missing
! -e and rename $old, $_ or next; # skip file if rename fails
warn "renaming $old to $_\n";
  }
  next if /\.thumb\.jpg$/;# skip if this is thumbnail
  my $thumb = "$_.thumb.jpg";
  next if -e $thumb;  # skip if thumbnail exists
  undef @$im; # reset (part of) $im
  my $ret;
  $ret = $im->Read($_)# read file
and warn($ret), next; # or fail and skip
  $ret = $im->Scale(geometry => '100x100')
and warn($ret), next;
  $ret = $im->Write($thumb)
and warn($ret), next;
  warn "thumbnail made for $_\n";

You could remove all documentation, man pages etc to free up some
space.  Then use a web browser to lookup the man page online.  Clean
out all core and tmp files, etc. Get rid of old kernels you not using.

I usually put /usr and /usr/local on a separate partition.

Depends how you want to work, but if you want to get mail to linux boxes,
apart from a workstation operated 'pull' with fetchmail,  you could run
sendmail on them and deliver straight from the mail server. You'd have to
manage the dns entries properly. I run a similar setup on my (Windows based
- sorry!) workstation.

I steer away from auto configuration tools whenever possible - they are too
inclined to mess up the configuration that you really want*. Learn about the
conf files, and then edit them yourself. If you learn how to use vi it will
be well worth the effort.

* The one exception I make is to use mc files to configure sendmail
