Missing mii-tool...

[Mike Pelley]

Hi All,

I have net-tools-1.56-2 installed on a 7.0 (fully up2date-ed) box but I
cannot find mii-tool.  The man page is present, but not the tool.  What
is the easiest way of getting mii-tool installed?  Also, where did
mii-tool go?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Mike

Changing DUPLEX on NIC cards

[Joe Giles]

I have 2 3com NIC's in my server and I noticed (Using mii-tool) that one is set for HD 
(Half Duplex) and one is set for FD (Full duplex). Both cards are set and using 100 
mbit. 

First, will this cause problems with them talking to each other as I use one interface 
to forward packets to the other for MASQ? Also, is there a utility that I can use to 
change the Duplex?

Im running Red Hat 7.3 with the current updates including the new Kernel.

Thanks

According to HP  and the Linux Printing

The GPL helps to ensure that improvements are shared. The BSD License
makes it easier for improvements to be kept hidden. Many more people are
willing to share if they can be sure that the sharing goes both ways.

Re: Connecting on COM 1

[Mike Davison]

There is a Serial How-to. One reference is:

I use minicom to connect to a Cisco router over a serial line from a Linux

When I install a symbios card in a RH 7.3 system I had to recompile the

As you said, BSD is UNIX not Linux.  Has been around for 30 years I
believe.  It (FreeBSD) will run Linux apps and gui by their ports
system, and most everything will run which has been ported, or you can
build your own port.  In my opinion, BSD is mainly used by some for
webservers, mailservers, firewalls, etc, and not the desktop/workstation
because of the extra layer needed to run linux apps.  Linux kind of took
over in popularity big time, but of course the Mac runs BSD on it now.

best to check the freebsd.org website for a better understanding and

Re: BSD vs Linux ?

[Aly Dharshi]

Hello,

I hope that you are well.

> Recently there was some chat about "real Unix".

Hmmm ... By real unix I take it you mean the commercial ones ? From Sun, HP, 
AIX ?

> Was there any seminal comparative studies between FreeBSD (or even 
> NetBSD) and Linux ?

I am quite curious as to what you mean by comparative studies between the two 
? 
If you are trying to compare two OS's I am sure that a simple google search 
would yeild the desired results.


> BSD has been around a long time.

So has Sys V ... I mean that it all started at AT&T, the BSD's are all based 
of 
the BSD 4.4 Lite I thinks, where as Linux is more like a fussion of SysV and BSD 
I guess the best of all worlds ? Sure, why not.

> Why Linux ? Why not BSD ? Drivers ? Platforms and chipsets ?

Why Linux, I guess that its more popular, the BSD's aren't as old as you think 
I 
am sure that OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD are not that old. I remember that there 
was something that Jordan Hubbard was saying about why *BSD never became as 
popular as Linux see http://kerneltrap.org/node.php?id=278 and I am sure its in 
there somewhere. BSD I sometimes feel is a purpose build OS, for example FreeBSD 
would make an excellent www server, OpenBSD a wonderful firewall, the all have a 
wonderful network stack so to speak.

I guess that Linux caught on as it was a ground up OS unlike BSD which gets 
its 
character from BSD 4.4 Lite. I guess that there are things still left to be 
desired for example I undertand that commercial unices have a better UFS file 
system, including journaling. Linux and BSD have to make it there I mean in 
efficiency, ReiserFS and ext3 are quite promising, NFS is at v3 default while we 
in the Linux world have just found this technology with 2.4.x. Actually MS felt 
it would be cool to release things such as one of their compiler suites on 
FreeBSD as they have a "more" flexible license. That in my opinion is debatable. 
Platforms plenty, I regret that RH stopped their Sparc developement at 6.2, it 
would have been good, instead Gentoo, SuSE and Debian have prolly got a better 
niche in that area.

Drivers ... hmmm ... many manufacturers are waking up and smelling Linux so to 
say, people like 3Com, Nvidia, ATI (The do Sun's video cards) etc etc, but 
until then it was all done by the vendors such as RedHat et al, I would and 
still are. Unlike MS which has the hardware attention, but people like Dell and 
Co. are making good efforts.

> Are there anything one can do with Linux which one cannot do with BSD ?

I wouldn't say so. I think that if you can get Linux with a network stack from 
the BSD' we are in business. Otherwise they are quite good both of them.

> Does BSD manage kernel memory better and does Linux swap more 
> "aggressively" ?

What make you say this ?

> Is there a JVM for BSD ?  Does the Apache staple  run on BSD ?

Sure it does !! I am don't know if there is a JVM for BSD.

Google is your buddy :)

> The truth is out there somewhere.

Sure until then lets go back to Linux :) :) :)

Re: sendmail to postfix on 7.2

[Mike Burger]

It's no more involved than switching under any other version of Red Hat.

The thing to remember is to save/back up your aliases, your virtual user 
files, and anything else listing your allowed relays, etc.

The configuration for Postfix, itself, is very easy, and the aliases and 
virtusertables are very similar.

I expected to find unsatisfied dependencies, rather than missing files,

Normally.  A while ago a lot of people where spreading around advice to
just symlink the new library names to the old ones so that software
could run without installing the new libraries.  Seemed like a lot of
work to avoid a little to me...

The only 7.0 server that I knew of until now was today mostly upgraded
to 7.3 using apt.  The admin installed the openssl095a, openssl096, and
openssl packages from Red Hat Linux 7.3 (errata where appropriate) and
the old apache ran fine.  Since it's already not working, you can't hurt
much by trying to use the very latest packages for the very latest
platform.  ;)

Yes there is a specific configuration. I've never done it and I really don't
have too much of an idea, but I would assume it involves a NULL modem cable,
and running some sort of getty over ttyS0 or 1.

Doesn't the Linux Documentation Project have anything on this? I assume it
would?

Re: moving from adaptec to symbios

[Edward Dekkers]

I moved a redhat7.2 drive to a new machine. We went from an adaptec SCSI
adapted to symbios and now I cant get the system to boot (only a "cant find
INIT" error)
Does anyone know who to upgrade or change to symbios without doing an
install? Keeping the files on the hard drive entact is key.
Thanks,
Mike

---

Mike, please don't post HTML to the list - plain text only.

If you have access to the old PC it came out of it is (relatively) easy.

If not, it gets a LOT harder because we would have to create a new initrd
image containing the symbios controller driver on another Linux box.

Probably the easiest I can think of is move the Adaptec over as well, hook
the drive to it, let the system boot and make sure kudzu picks up BOTH SCSI
cards, and adjusts as necessary. You may have to tinker still with
makeinitrd I'm not exactly sure, because I don't know whether kudzu is THAT
smart. Then shut down, remove the Adaptec, hook the drive to the symbios and
all should be good.

I think

...

Maybe

.

Hopefully

;-)

Ed.

BSD vs Linux ?

[Arthur Chan]

Hi !
Recently there was some chat about "real 
Unix".
Was there any seminal comparative studies 
between FreeBSD (or even NetBSD) and Linux ?
BSD has been around a long time.
Why Linux ? Why not BSD ? Drivers ? Platforms and 
chipsets ?
Are there anything one can do with Linux which 
one cannot do with BSD ? 
Does BSD manage kernel memory better and does 
Linux swap more "aggressively" ?
Is there a JVM for BSD ?  Does the Apache 
staple  run on BSD ?
Questions upon questions...
The truth is out there 
somewhere.

wanted: RH7.3 mods to NFS + ipchains HOWTO

[blaise]

I am trying to set up NFS on a LAN of RH7.3 (2.4.18-3) boxes with their
ipchains firewalls running ("high" security, *not* trusting
other machines connected to their eth0 port).

The NFS HOWTO describes in detail how to get NFS through
an ipchains firewall by specifying which ports mountd,
statd, and lockd use.

I am starting mountd on port 32790 (from /etc/init.d/nfs),
statd on -p=32791 and -o=32792 (from /etc/init.d/nfslock),
and lockd on 32793 (from /etc/modules.conf).

Having done this, something is still broken.  For instance,
here is the rejection log when host nova (192.168.48.150)
tries to mount a partition on novus (192.168.48.151):

Aug 15 15:19:25 nova automount[1109]: attempting to mount entry /nofs/novus
Aug 15 15:19:25 nova kernel: Packet log: input REJECT eth0 PROTO=17
192.168.48.151:32790 192.168.48.150:715 L=84 S=0x00 I=0 F=0x4000 T=64 (#17)

Here are the relevant ipchains lines:

-A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -j ACCEPT -f
-A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 32790:32793 -p 6 -j ACCEPT
-A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 32790:32793 -p 17 -j ACCEPT
-A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 2049:2049 -p 6 -j ACCEPT
-A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 2049:2049 -p 17 -j ACCEPT
-A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 111:111 -p 6 -j ACCEPT
-A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 111:111 -p 17 -j ACCEP

Why is nova (...150) using port 715?  This port is surely blocked by the
ipchains firewall, resulting in the rejection.  Shouldn't it be using port
32790?  rpcinfo -p on nova shows that mountd is running on port 32790.  

Also, rpcinfo -p shows that "nlockmgr" is running on 32768.  Is this relevant?

Any help would be thoroughly appreciated.  Thanks.

Run "service ipchains restart" after you have made changes via setup or 
lokkit. If you still have trouble, try "service ipchains stop", which 
should turn off the default firewall.

Re: Intellipoint Mouse

[Emad Fanous]

to use the intellipoint, try doing this:
edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and search for the mouse 
section...then set protocol like below and remove or comment 
out the "emulate 3 button" line if it exists...make sure to 
back up your original before making these changes, though.

Section "Pointer"
 Protocol"IMPS/2"
 Device  "/dev/mouse"
 ZAxisMapping 4 5
 ButtonNumber 5
 Vendor AutoDetected
 Name AutoDetected
 Buttons 5

This works with my MS Intellimouse Optical 5 button.

password cannot be longer then 8 characters

[Bill Cotter]

Title: password cannot be longer then 8 characters







    Hi, we are running with some RH 7.2 workstations in a
    NIS environment.


    Some users have passwords that are longer then 8 characters.
    These users cannot log into the new RH 7.2 systems with their
    current < 8 password.


    If they change their password to 8 characters or less then they
    can log in.


    Does anyone know where this restriction is coming from ?


    Thanks in advance,

Sawfish window manager broken?

[Marc Audard]

Hi,

I managed to install RH 7.3 eventually. I have currently a problem
with sawfish: under Gnome, I use the sawfish window manager, but cannot
manage to configure it.

Every time I access the Sawfish tools (e.g., from the Gnome control center),
it keeps saying that sawfish is not running, while this is not the truth.

Does someone have an idea?

Thanks

Marc

a mouse issue

[Daniel Senderowicz]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with an X program (gremlin drawing editor)
that I'm trying to compile on a RH7.3 system. In one of its parts
it checks for mouse events, so for example if there is a ButtonPress
it will take certain action. If there is a LeaveNotify it will
suspend whatever was doing. The problem is that every time I push
a button the X server is saying that in addition to the ButtonPress
there is also a LeaveNotify which is not true, therefore whatever
action it should do it doesn't happen. The same program runs on a
BSD system without any problem. Is this something that someone saw?
Thanks in advance.

Dan

Tripwire Initialization

[Brian Lucas]

Title: Tripwire Initialization





Great newbie question:


I am interested in using tripwire on RH 7.2.  I run tripwire --init and get an error indicating that my config file is bad.  I just used twcfg.txt as the config file (renaming it to tw.cfg).  Is there a place I can setup this config file.  Isn't it just a text file.

The errors I get are "Invalid input stream format" and "Configuration file could not be read"

RE: ssh server installation problem.

[Peter Loveday]

Hi Bo,

Might be stating the obvious, but have you checked /etc/hosts.allow?
You'll need an entry in there to allow connections to sshd, as in...

sshd : ALL : ALLOW

This will allow connections from all hosts.

Regards,

Pete.

Sorry. I was thinking the firewall between campus network and outside.
Not my own firewall.

Yeah I see now that these are simply values to use once the arch is
detenmined.  I don't know how this is dome but I bet the guys on the rpm
list do.

what does uname -m return seemsl like it would use something like that
to see what sort of machine it is on.

That'll only work if he logs in... I thought he was looking for
something that enabled these apps to startup when the server booted.  If
that's truly what he needs then, all he need do is add the apps to
/etc/init.d/whatever and just have them start up as if they were daemons
right??

Trying to set the number of processes a process can create with ulimit -u 16384

[Stefan Lindström]

Title: Trying to set the number of processes a process can create with ulimit -u 16384





Hi !


I am trying to set up my Red Hat 7.2 server to meet the requirements for installation of Oracle database 9.2. One of the requirements is that the user Oracle should be able to create 16384 processes and the installation guide recommends me to use ulimit -u 16384 (bash command). But it doesnt work because the Oracle user is not pemritted to do that. Error message: 

bash: ulimit: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted


Which options to change the limit do I have ?


Greatful for help !

You have a firewall running on the server?

service iptables stop
service ipchains stop

will stop the firewall and let you test out that theory.

7.3 Installation problems on Compaq 1850R

[Jeremy McLeod]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of rebuilding an older (circa 1999) Compaq 1850R.
I'm attempting to install RedHat 7.3, but I'm running into a problem.
I can get past stage 1, and the point where it loads the SCSI controller
(sym-somethingorother), but when it tries to run anaconda, it just
freezes.  This is what I'm looking at now:

Running anaconda - please wait...
Probing for video card:   ATI Mach64 3D RAGE II
Probing for monitor type: Princeton

This is a dual proc Pentium III 600 with 256MB RAM and 3 9.1GB SCSI
drives connected to an LVD backplane.  Has anyone run into this problem
before, and if so, do you know of a fix or workaround?  I'm guessing it
might have something to do with the drives or the host adapter, since
this is the point where it usually goes into the partitioning phase, but
all diagnostics I've run with the Compaq-supplied diag tools turn up no
problems.

Bug in postfix from 7.1 powertools

[Martín Marqués]

There's an annoying bug in Postfix from the 7.1 powertools, and there doesn't 
seem to be any updates. Anybody know about this?

It's not that important, becuase this weekend I'll update to 7.3, but I can't 
imagine why there isn't an update, especially after seeing wietse say the 
prtoblem was fixxed in snapshot 20011127 (20011125 comes with 7.1).

Saludos... :-)

You may run into bios limitations on an old board seeing drives of that 
size - I have two
machines that will not see drives over 30G. Your mileage may vary...

That sounds a bit like a Promise chipset - we've never got raid-5 running 
on those.

That would be ideal and certainly a must for a production setup but if you 
are only
experimenting and playing with the config files then your original setup 
will suffice
as long as speed is not an issue.

That sounds fine. As long as the RedHat installer sees three drives, you'll 
be OK.

The only time I've seen something similar to what (I think) you mean is 
some onboard
raid controllers needed to be told they were raid in order to boot, 
although redhat treated
the devices as separate and therefore made a software raid on them. (??)

Just modify the first couple of lines to reflect your email address (I

machine you want to
receive pop-up alerts on, if you have one. Leave blank otherwise. Then

The 3 hard discs for this test are of 40G storage, 2M cache and 7,200 
rpm.  One problem remains unsolved is my old motherboard used only 
supporting ATA33.  I am considering using an available PCI RAID card (0, 1, 
0+1), if possible.  Whether it can help???  Or I have to purchase a new 
ATA133 controller for this test.  In such case each hard disc can be 
connected to a separate slot.

Kindly advise.

I recognize such a problem.  In such a case could I use the PCI RAID card 
to solve this problem, 2 ATA 133 hard discs connected to its slots (it has 
2 slots) and the 3rd hard disc connected to primary IDE of the 
motherboard.  Its BIOS boots the PC at start.

It becomes Hardware RAID + Software RAID in one PC.  Can it work?

Have you had any comments?

Lot of thanks for your assistance offered.  I will contact you to your

The software RAID monitor tool is only a perl script.  How to use it ?

A few points:-

1) The array will be bottlenecked by the slowest drive.
2) The total size of the arrays is dependant on the smallest drive.
2) Running two drives on the same interface will cause severe performance 
degradation.
3) The array with /boot on it must be raid0 or 1 - raid5 does not work for 
bootloaders.

4) This should be fine if you just want to experiment - there's a lot to 
work out with software
raid when it comes to configuration files and testing for and replacing 
failed drives without
losing data.

I run software raid-5 pretty much everywhere so throw me a line if you feel 
the need.
There's a software raid monitor tool at 
"ftp://ftp.nexnix.co.uk/pub/linux/scripts/mdmon";
if you should need it.

Thanks to Anthony (again) for suggesting using nohup to get round this
problem.

If I call test2.sh using

nohup /~/test2.sh &

it stays running when the user logs out.

Software RAID 5 and hard discs connection question

[Stephen Liu]

Hi all folks,

I am going to experiment software RAID 5.  Any folks on the list have 
experience and what are your comment ?

Proposed setup :-
Hardware available
2   ATA133 hard discs
1   ATA100 hard disc

1 ATA 133 hard disc connected to IDE (primary) slot of the motherboard as 
MASTER as parity 1 & 2 (block 3 & 5)

1 ATA 133 hard disc connected to IDE (primary) slot of the motherboard as 
SLAVE as parity 3 & 4 (block 1 & 6)

1 ATA '100' hard disc connected to secondary IDE slot of the motherboard as 
MASTER as parity 5 & 6 (block 2 & 4)

Will above connection be OK?   If hard discs of different spec are used, 
does it affect the RAID performance?

Your advice would be appreciated.   Thanks in advance

Stephen Liu

RE: still unable to have short passwords

[Gregory Hosler]

go to the directory:

/usr/share/doc/pam-0.75/txts (or html/)

and look at the document pam.txt (or pam-6.html)

hint. do a grep for short

cd /usr/share/doc/pam-0.75/txts/
grep -i short *

then view the document(s) listed w/ your favorite editor/browser, searching for
the text listed.

  If each of us have one object, and we exchange them,
 then each of us still has one object.
  If each of us have one idea,   and we exchange them,
 then each of us now has two ideas.
