How to compare RPM versions?
Is there a simple way to find out which RPM version is newer? For instance I have a bunch of RPM files with the same RPM name but with different version numbers. Doing a numeric comparison doesn't work in all cases since some versions contain letters like "x", "p", etc. And doing a string comparison doesn't work either when you have numbers like "9" and "13" which would result in "9" being greater. Is there a simple method to find out which RPM version is newer?

First, new rpm available again, using another server:
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rpms/xf86ttfontool-0.1-15.i386.rpm

I have an rpm containing the 32 bit versions, rather than downloading via
a script. I'll make it available at some point.

The license for the 32 bit versions is quite similar, and also seems to
allow redistribution.

By default mii-tool with no device argument tries eth0 -7, hence the

I found the fonts in several locations:
http://unixlab.cs.put.poznan.pl/pub/Windows/TTF-fonts/
http://nuoriso.hel.fi/__files/ms_truetype_core_fonts_for_the_web/Win95-98-NT/index.html
I just now found a mirror of the MS font site.
http://web.archive.org/web/2420210719/http://www.microsoft.com/opentype/fontpack/default.htm
Time to modify xf86ttfontool again, I think.

capability for these fonts. Less than neighborly of them. ;)

The older rpm with the non functional download URL has been downloaded

mentioned that it isn't working. :)

Weird Network problem
List, I am running RedHat 7.3 with all the current patches and the current Kernel. I have 2 NIC cards (100baseT HD/FD for both) and I use IPCHAINS with MASQ. Now, initally, the network works great. But after about an hour (sometimes longer, sometimes shorter) the network seems to simply slow down. Like a buffer is filling up and not releasing. I can initally ping a host on the internet with 32 ms, and an hour later, it up to 3402 ms. When I run one NIC, this doesnt happen. Only with 2 NICS (That, BTW, both run fine in the same system seperatly) does this happen. Maybe MASQ needs to clear a buffer or something. When I restart the network (/etc/init.d/network restart) it all goes back to normal... Any ideas as to why... Let me know if you need any further information.

I also do not get any messages if I run "slapd -f slapd.conf" from the command line. Any have any ideas why this occurs? I thought init scripts were always run as root. Also I have my rootpw in slapd.conf encrypted. Would this be acceptable if my permissions were 740?

You may want to give this a read... http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2000/09/28/LinuxAdmin.html?page=1 You don't mention what type or how much RAM is in the machine. I would look to that as the best place to start. But since it is older hardware (well, not real old but everything always advances), your RAM might be a little slow or not enough. Remember that you are trying to process everything all the cards see, it is very RAM intensive and if it has to go to swap even a little bit it will die down a lot. You may also want to ensure that the cards have set to Full duplex and max speed. Many times the cards will negotiate wrongly with switches and go to the lower speed. You might have to force them high. Doficulty of that will be driver dependant. Good luck. -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.

RE: LinuxConf - seems to have dissapeared with 7.3
I think this question is not so easy to answer as it might seem. There have in fact been some problems with LinxConf in the past, but in it's defense I think that was more the case because there have been so many changes in configuration files etc when you build a utility that does as much as it does it can become cumbersome keeping up with the development inherent in the different distros. Case in point was the shift from Redhat 6.2 to 7.0. Does anyone not remember all the grousing about Redhat's changes in 7.0?? I installed Linuxconf on 7.3 and it works great for me.

There were quite a few, and I'm sure that was a major force for dropping it altogether. It was still on the CD on 7.1, maybe 7.2, but it wasn't installed on any install except an "everything" install. It was mentioned that it was going away. Now it has. But, just like many other things that used to be included and no longer are (xv among them), one can still locate and install them. Linuxconf is still actively maintained for Redhat.

That would be a good place to start looking for lockups. I've seen those things cause lockups on a number of machines, including one of my own. I am able to safely run most by manually running xscreensaver at startup. But I couldn't find any way to turn some of them off in either desktop without turning them all off. With xscreensaver they can be controlled individually, and it can even be made to run whatever KDE screensavers are installed in any WM: Gnome/Sawfish, KDE, IceWM, FVWM, XFCE, etc. -- Plagiarism saves time. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

One point I neglected to point out. Linuxconf is actually comprised of several RPMs if you want the full GUI. Here's a description of the packages from their Redhat download page. linuxconf: This is the main package. Everyone needs it. You do not need any X library to use it. linuxconf-gui: This is an optional GUI front-end. It works on any distributions gnome-linuxconf: This is another GUI front-end. Pick this one or linuxconf-gui. It works on recent distributions. Note that many distribution ships an outdated version of gnome-linuxconf. linuxconf-lang-XX: This provides the language translations English is included in the first package. linuxconf-devel: This provides the tools and libraries needed by module developpers. linuxconf-lib: This is the runtime for independant utilities using the Linuxconf devel toolkit. linuxconf-util: This a a set of optional utilities, shellmod, for one. linuxconf-X: This contains various modules useful to configure X (mouse and keyboard) HTH Anthony On Fri, 2002-08-16 at 18:41, Anthony Abby wrote: > This is the kind of answer that is really of no help to a new person > trying to learn Linux.

You haven't done the RPM update that's part of RH 7.2. You're also
installing the wrong version of apt-get. The -fr8 release is for RH7.3.
Go back to apt.freshrpms.net and get the right version, and install the

If package A splits into A and B, and A now has a dependency on B that it didn't before, rpm -F will not catch it. up2date will. Before you say this is very theoretical, let me point out that I've seen this happen *many* times with Mandrake's betas as applications were split between the app and its related libraries.

Need help splitting PS file
I need to split up my Postscripfile in pages.
How can i do this the best way.
I have problem when i use psselect.
I'm sending my document with an network printer to my server and there
the printspooler sends it to my script where i want to split up the ps file
into
the seperate pages that are sent.
Now i loop over this row for i times (where i is the number of pages).
psselect -p$i ${psfile} > ${pspage}.$i
The first page works fine but the next pages dont work, i can send them to
the printer but not convert them with ps2pdf then it complains on the ps
file format.

Re: ssh server installation problem.
Thank everyone for the help. The problem is from the firewall. I knew
that I missed something very basic. I checked allow.hosts etc but
... I do not know gnome-lokkit.
BTW, no manual page, online ssh-server tutorials mention firewall. :-(
Thank you again.

You shouldn't have _any_ mail going to root. While there is not really a lot of e-mail based virii available for Linux, it is considered good practice to ensure that nothing comes from an outside source to your root account. Obviously the invidual in charge of the machine usually has (and should) a seperate account for their regular usage, so you should have all mail for root sent to that address. It is as simple as putting a new alias in /etc/aliases and running newaliases. Obviously when using an alias you can send it anywhere you like be it another local account or some remote one. -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.

You wil hopfully need to grant access to the remote box with something like xhost +ip.of.remote.machine BTW if you were using ssh which is WAY more secure if you have the updates you can configure it to do the X forwarding thing automatically.

This is just plain wrong. FreeBSD makes a great workstation and can run all the window managers you can think of that run on linux. OpenBSD and NetBSD are also perfectly good for the desktop. I run FreeBSD 4.6 on one of my desktops with XFree86 4, Blackbox, and KDE 3.
