  I just installed Redhat 7.2 and started up 
  Apache.  I can telnet into port 80 from the same machine, so I know 
  Apache is running but I can't browse even the startup page from another 
  machine on the network.  I can ping the server so I know it has an IP 
  address, I can't even telnet into port 80.
  What do I look for?  Is there a 
  firewall setup by default that doesn't allow traffic into the server?

Where is ktop?

[Stephen Rasku]

I used to have a GUI-based tool which would display the process table (like 
ps) but it would display the processes in parent/child order so you could 
easily follow parent/child up/down the process tree.  I think it might have 
been ktop but I don't seem to have that on my system.  Is there something 
else that does the same thing?  I am running KDE 3.0.0 on Red Hat 7.3.

You can't use the iptables rules you were given to forward packets from
one machine on a LAN, through the server, to a second machine on the
same LAN (assuming the same IP subnet).

The client will try to open the connection to your router
(1.1.1.1:8181).  The router will forward the packet according to its
rules by changing the destination and forwarding it on as normal.  The
server (1.1.1.2) gets the packet, but it has the original source address
on it... that's the trick.  The server (1.1.1.2) replies to the client
according to its normal routing rules.  If the two are in the same
subnet, it goes directly to the client, not through the router, and the
client has no idea what to do with those packets (client was talking to
1.1.1.1, but gets replies from 1.1.1.2, and thows them away as invalid).

In that sort of setup, userspace forwards are ideal.

find . -name '*.tar.gz' -exec tar zxf {} \;

That's what you're thinking, right?  Tar will be launched from the top
level directory, and while it'll get the full path to the tarball, it'll
extract all of the files at the top level.  That does not preserve the
directory structure, as the original poster asked.

Changing Files in multiple directories at once

[Joe Giles]

List,
I would like to copy one file through out multiple sub directories located
under one directory at once. How could I do this on the command line.

Example...

Document Root/MyFiles/ contains 4 sub folders. In each sub folder, I want
the file index.HTML placed in each folder from MyFiles down the tree.

How can I do this. I'm sure its elementary, I have just drawn a blank.

Thanks

No idea.  I assume that the actual entry order is that returned by ls
-f? Things I would try in the absence of further information is creating
a directory and then hardlinking the files from the original dir into
them in the order I wanted.  If that works then you can rm the orig dir
and mv the new one on top of it or I guess just mv ing the new onto the
lod would probably do unless someone has built some optimizations into
the mv command for files that are linked to the same file being mv ed
over the old ones. 

If indeed ls -f works to see the order of the actual directory lisings,
then this appears to work.  here are the results of a quick test on a rh
6.0 box.

[bhughes@compaq2 bhughes]$ mkdir bincopy

It appears that the order of the files are now in alphabetical order. 
permissions are not carried across though but you get the idea of my
lame hack.

Now for the obvious question, why do you care?  are you mad because php
won't buzz a directory in any sorted order?

RH 7.3 Install on Compaq 4000 ( Long)

[Don Nichol]

A Newbie Question

I am trying to install 7.3 onto a Deskpro 4000N.   Current setup is:
P233MMX, 192 MB ram,  8.0 GB HD, HP9100i CDRW, onboard 10/100, Slot 3-
10/100 D-link.

CD boots fine, install runs up to the point where it tries to open the
glibc-common rpm and then craps with the following error.

"The file /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/glibc-common-2.2.5-35.i386.rpm cannot be
opened. This is due to a missing file, a bad packet or bad media.  Press
 to try again."

I have checked the media,  have opened the ISO and have been able to extract
and view the RPM in question, tried 3 different cdrom drives,  I have had
the most success with the HP CDRW.  I have also re-downloaded the ISO from 3
different sites.  All with the same results.

Has anyone else seen this?

Don

If the restricted users are all on a certain subnet, you can block them
like this:

int=eth0
smtpserver=IP_Address_of_SMTP
pop3server=IP_Address_of_POP3
onlymail=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
ipchains --append forward --interface $int --source $onlymail \
 --destination $smtpserver smtp --jump MASQ
ipchains --append forward --interface $int --source $onlymail \
 --destination $pop3server pop3 --jump MASQ
ipchains --append forward --interface $int --source ! $onlymail \
 --destination ! $HOSTNAME --jump MASQ


Those rules should allow packets from the $onlymail subnet that arrive at
the internal interface ($int) to be forwarded only if they are going to
the SMTP or POP3 ports on the ISP's mail server. You may need to make some
adjustments depending on the rest of your ipchains setup.

tcp/ip over fiber channel

[Matthew Melvin]

Just on the off chance... anyone know anything about IP over FC and is able 
to point me at some resources?  I havn't really been able to find out much 
about it beyond 'you can do ip over fc' and nothing at all about how a linux 
box might go about using its HBA as a network interface.

Anyone?

You can use xinetd to do the port forward in userspace, which will work
for all nets, even when ppp0's IP address changes (making it much
simpler than iptables)

It would be difficult to extract the files to the correct location with

Perl is good for what's it's good for.  This task is clearly suited to
the shell, as are many others.  Perl is often overkill.

That'll extract all of the files to the toplevel directory, wrecking the
structure.

Unless your default policy is to drop connections, as it probably should 
be. I don't believe my rules work without jumping to the ACCEPT chain 
from the FORWARD chain.

If that's incorrect, please enlighten me. I need a good excuse to rewrite 
my firewall rules. ;)

I use port forwarding here without any difficulty. I forward port 8080 on 
the external interface to port 8080 on an internal machine. The rules I 
use are:

$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTERNAL -d $INTERNAL_NET \
  -p tcp --dport 8080 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $EXTERNAL -p tcp -d $EXT_IP \
- --dport 8080   -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.5:8080

Variables used above are:
## Variables ##
IPTABLES="/sbin/iptables"  

LOOPBACK="lo"   ## Loopback Interface
EXTERNAL="eth0" ## External Interface
INTERNAL="eth1" ## Internal Interface

INTERNAL_NET="192.168.0.0/24"   

INT_IP=`/sbin/ifconfig $INTERNAL | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \  
- -f 1`

EXT_IP=`/sbin/ifconfig $EXTERNAL | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \  
- -f 1`

If that doesn't help at all, I can send you my firewall script off list.

when you do port forwarding, it is not needed to put an ACCEPT chain for

Yup.
cd to the top directory of that structure, and
find .  -name \*.tar.gz -exec tar zxvf {} \;
ought to do it.

Of course it's possible. Assuming you aren't using XDMCP (not configured

You might also note that a lot of the spammers are using *relays* elsewhere

It works just fine, and isn't difficult, at all:

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport  -m state --state NEW -d

Re: Port Forwarding

[Teodor Georgiev]

hmmm... something like this:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING ! -i eth0 -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j
DNAT --to 1.1.1.2:80

means - forward all the connections  to port tcp 80 that DO NOT come from
your internal network (eth0) to IP1.1.1.2, on port 80

Kevin, skip home-brewed IPTables and use firestarter
(http://firestarter.sourceforge.net).  It'll write your IPTables for you
as well as NAT and Port Forwarding.  Check it out.

Edit directory entries

[Todd A. Jacobs]

I have a need to modify the directory sort order. I'm not currently trying

listed within the directory itself.

Does anyone know how I can actually modify the contents of the directory 
listing?

Port Forwarding

[Kevin - KD Micro Software]

Hi all,

I've spoken to a couple of people who tried port forwarding using iptables
and apparently it's not an easy task to accomplish. I've tried myself and
don't seem to have any luck whatsoever either (after reading numbers of
HOWTOs etc) so I'm asking here as a last resort.

Just to makes things easier, i'll try to give as much info as possible,
using the following example:
I would like port 8181 on my Red Hat box (7.2, kernel 2.4.9-34, let's say ip
is 1.1.1.1 (example only)) to be forwarded to port 80 on internal machine IP
1.1.1.2. I understand that machines on the internal network (eth0) would not
be able to make use of this, but as long as it works from the net connection
(ppp0) then that is ok. That's all I need. But, of course, if there is a way
where this would work for both then thats even better.

Has anyone actually managed to get this working right?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Re: tar -Rx??

[Sam Ockman]

Okay...here's some ideas.

The best way to probably do this is to learn how to use the find
command.  It's complicated but should allow you to do this without
shell scripting or Perl (which imho is always better than shell
scripting).  Even find by itself will give you what you were trying to
do with ls.

You could also try the poor man's version...which would be this.  I
can't guarantee it will work, and don't have anywhere to test it, but
it sounds like it should.

tar -xzf */*/*.tar.gz

Good luck!

Ah yes, this smacks of shell-scripting.  I can't give you a fast answer 
but if you don't receive replys here you might try the shell.scripting 
list found at http://moongroup.com/mailman/listinfo/shell.scripting.  Low 
volume and very good help.

...or based in the same country as the recipient, and assuming that country
has anti-spam laws similar to what I described.

Of course there are lots of cross-jurisdiction spammers, but it's a lot
easier to get people to send you money if you're in the same country. If
you could just reduce the spam from the ones in the same country as the
recipient, that would help a lot.

ISPs are drowning in spam. Many users are too. The only real solution is
to increase the cost of sending spam. Enabling recpients and ISPs to sue
is a way to do that. It's not perfect, but we don't need perfection.  A
significant improvement will do just fine.

tar -Rx??

[cbsled]

This is in the "There has to be an easy way to do this" category-

I have a directory which contains several subdirectories, each of which
contains over 100 subdirectories, each of which contains at least one *.tar.gz file. 
I would like to extract all the tarballs in the directories where they are now, 
and keep the directory structure intact. 

(If the people who set up the CD had tarred it properly, I wouldn't have this problem.)

I'm looking for a command or script which would work from the top dir like:

$ tar -Rxz *.tar.gz

would work if it worked that way, which of course it won't, since -R is an invalid 
option for tar.

In english: 
"Descend though all subdirectories from the present directory, 
and extract all tar.gz files right where they sit."

I looked at piping the output from ls, but it only outputs filenames, not the required 
paths,
so I don't even know where to start with writing a script.

Any ideas?

eth. connection WAY too slow...

[Michael Hegadorn]

Hi everyone,
  I'm having trouble with my linux box. I have a DSL connection and a
small LAN. Now, my linux comp has been really really slow lately
(maximum upload would only be 20k!). It only started acting up like
this on wednesday (9/4/02). I also tested the other computers to make
sure it wasn't the DSL connection, but their speed was fine.

I haven't installed anything or configured anything lately -- well, I
did just put more memory in, but it was acting up before I put it
inso it couldn't have been that..

Also, even if I upload a file to my local server (on the LAN), it
still only gets up to arount 10-20kbps.

Anyone have a clue??

Thanks
-Mike

PS: My download speed stayed about the same I think...it's just the
upload that's really really slow..

Can't answer your question without more information.

Are you trying to write a C (C++, whatever) program and want to know
how to use a serial port therefrom?

or are you wanting to use a terminal program with a serial port?

or are you wanting to do file transfers via a serial port? If so, using
what protocol, to/from what sort of system and software?

Or something else? If so, what?

The govt could help in this case. Something simple like requiring valid
return addresses and honoring requests for removal would go a long way.
Enabling recipients and ISPs to sue would also help. Most of these clowns

You can only edit your own crontab or the crontab of a specific user if
you use "crontab -e". The /etc/crontab file does not belong to a specific
user (root's crontab is /var/spool/cron/root) so "crontab -e" will not let
you edit it.

Mutt is the best mailer I've ever used. Pine is easier to learn, but mutt
is more powerful. The GUI mailers are either too slow or not powerful
enough for me. The combination of a character-based interface and a rich
set of keyboard shortcuts make mutt, elm, and pine faster than any GUI
mailer in the hands of a fairly good typist. Using both mouse and keyboard
is simply too slow. Mutt is so configurable that I feel confined when I
have to use any other mailer for any significant amount of time.

I suggest adding the list address to the mailer's address book with a
short name like "rhl" or "redhat". Any decent mailer can automatically
expand the short name out to the full address.

Redhat doesn't support it anymore, but it is still available from  
http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/linuxconf/  if you happen to like it.

Odd, the "-- " didn't work.  Anyway, the only way I can think to trouble 
shoot this is to do  packet capture and decode.  Many things can start an 
smtp session, email clients, any number of non-interactive applications.  
etc...

I dislike having the list software insert text into the Subject header.
There are already headers for that. Either List-Id (preferred) or X-Loop
(deprecated) would work for most people on this list. Procmail, Eudora,
Mozilla, Netscape, Evolution, and Outlook can filter incoming messages
based on any header.

Outlook Express and Yahoo can only filter on a few specific headers. I
don't know about MSN/Hotmail or any of the other webmail services.

Since you use elm, you might find this procmail recipe useful:


# Insert [RHL] into the Subject line of messages from the Red Hat List.
:0 f
* ^List-Id:.*
* !^Subject:.*\[RHL\]
| sed -e "s/^Subject: /Subject: [RHL] /"


Filtering into folders makes it easier for me to prioritize my mail
processing. Inserting text in the Subject header reduces the amount of
relevant text that is visible in the message list.

I have downloaded, compiled, and installed sendmail-8.12.6.
Everything is fine, except when using pine on local host,  the sender 
address is:

It should be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How do I get sendmail to drop the hostname?

Log in on the command line as root. Try running Xconfigurator. Try different

Have a look at your routing table then and default gateways for the

It is probably one of these.

IP forwarding is on as the .1.x network can talk to the internet via eth1 on

Any other clues?

how to install the newly revised sysklogd package

[Wai Iu]

I made a new version of sysklodg pakcage. It has been successfully packed
into a sysklogd-1.4.1-5.i386.rpm. The original package is sysklogd-1.4.1-4.
i386.rpm. I try to use the command" rpm -Uvh sysklogd-1.4.1-5.i386.rpm" to
update the old sysklogd-1.4.1-5.i386.rpm. When using tht command, the system
first hang on. Then I interrupt the processes. Then I run this command again.
The system gave me the following errors:
 
error: cannot get exclusive locak on /var/lib/rpm
error: cannot open Ppackages index using db3 -Operation not permitted (1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done timeout!
eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done timeout!
.
 
It just hangs on unitl I terminate the process.
 
Any Idea?
 
Thanks!

RE: Routing / Bridging problem

Hi Cameron

192.168.1.x (eth0) is the local LAN which has internet access via 10.0.0.220
and this works always has worked

Although there are other networks on x.x.2.x and x.x.3.x they are handled by
other systems

I have just implemented a new network at x.x.4.x. This is via a Radio wave
LAN bridge. This is being implemented via our Linux RH7.2 box using
IPTables. The .4.x network has been implemented as an aliased address on
eth0 with the .1.x network

The interface card is at 1.220 for the local LAN and 4.220 for the radio
LAN.

>From the radio network I can Ping 4.220 and get a reply. From the .1.x
network I can ping the .4.220 and the .4.253 and 4.254 radio link bridge
devices.

>From a PC at the other end of the radio bridge I can ping both  radio
devices and the Linux interface @ 4.220.
>From a PC at the other end of the radio bridge I cannot ping or contact

Redhat 7.2 with IPTables eth0 has .1.220 and an aliases address .4.220

That's really not such a great idea...do we really want the government 
getting involved in this.  After all, they're doing such a great job, as it

Re: x server error

[Szymon Lukasik]

Try to reproduce some logs and post it. Without more info helping you
would be difficult ... 
You can cut some parts of /var/log/messages collected during X
start (but this will give not too much).
The best in my opinion would be including /var/log/XFree86*.log file in your message.

Re: LDAP Deployment Question

[Jose Vicente Nunez Zuleta]

Hello guys,

Yes NIS is simple and "easy" to setup, but also has the following problems:

1) Is insecure: doesn't support encryption and depends on portmapper wich has been 
know to have security problems in the past with buffer overflows (you can improve the 
situation with a firewall and a good /etc/hosts.allow && /etc/hosts.deny policy, 
/var/yp/securenets). NIS+ tried to do it better but got stuck on Sun servers (and i 
don't know how many people uses it out there compared to plain NIS).

Also you need to be VERY carefull with wich UIDs you export (Redhat takes care of 
that, i think doesn't create maps for UIDs lower than 500, check the 
/var/yp/Makefile), otherwise you can have powerfull acounts scattered across the net 
(like root).


2) Is not well suited for Internet wide replication: If you have a large number of NIS 
clients, you have to run the ypxfrd daemon on every NIS slave if you wanna have a 
decent NIS transfer (if the maps are large). Ldap is more scalable on that regard.

3) LDAP has better support for other third party tools: Many web applications 
(Servlets, PHP) uses LDAP for authentication. This kind off support is not ofered "out 
of the box" for NIS (but you can work that out, using JNDI for example). Also LDAP 
support a "tree" like structure, something not possible with NIS (thats why NIS sucks 
as a replacement of a DNS server for example) wich only supports plain domains.

In my opinion NIS only works for very controled environments, wich modest requirements.

Just my two cents :)

JV.

LDAP is the more powerfull option availabe, but you won't be able to use any nice 
front-end like linuxconf, webmin, the Red Hat User Manager, etc. It'll take some time 
and effort to deploy LDAP specially if hou have not used it before...

NIS is a much easier setup and allow you to use most easy admin front-ends.

One more detail - don't pull up crontab in vi. Use crontab -e
It's safer, locks the file, and installs it when done.

Disagree.  Plain text only.  HTML only e-mail drives me nuts.  I use elm
to read my e-mail.  I'm currently telnet'd into my box (I only allow this
IP to get through the firewall :-) to read my e-mail.  Having HTML only
will cause grief if I respond.  Also, depending on how the HTML is assembled,
elm will refuse to display the message.

Most mail lists ban HTML e-mail in any form.

Agree.

It would also be great of RedHat put [RHL] on the front of the Subject line
on the main list, and other abbreviations in front of the other lists.  I am
on lots of e-mail lists and RH is the ONLY list that doesn't have this
indication, which mixes it up with all the other e-mail that I get.

This is simple enough that you don't need a script. A pair of entries in
/etc/crontab will do what you need:

30 08 * * 1-5 root service sendmail start
30 17 * * 1-5 root service sendmail stop

The format of the crontab file is described in crontab(5):

  man 5 crontab

Re: Netiquette

[Sam Ockman]

I almost hate to get into any conversation about netiquette, but let me
give one piece of advice that will make it easier for those of that use
the thread feature under mutt (or some other mailer).  [If you haven't
tried threading your email messages, try it...if you're mailer won't
let you, try mutt].

When sending a message to a mailing list, don't use the reply key
unless you are replying to a message.  If it's a new message use the
compose function.  Even if you change the subject and delete
everything, it still keeps the in-reply-to header in the message, which
messes up threading.  The reply function shouldn't be used as a
shortcut for typing in the address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

Thanks for letting me rant!  :)

IMO, there is *no* reason to use HTML on a mailing list like this one.
None whatsoever. Private mail and in some cases business mail is a different
story, of course.

I just installed Redhat 7.2 and started up Apache.  I can telnet into port 80 from the same machine, so I know Apache is running but I can't browse even the startup page from another machine on the network.  I can ping the server so I know it has an IP address, I can't even telnet into port 80.

What do I look for?  Is there a firewall setup by default that doesn't allow traffic into the server?

Re: "start menu"

[Mark]

About the "start menu" problem:
  rename the stupid thing. Whoever came up with the idea, years ago, of 
allowing embedded spaces was an idiot.

   Now, for a generalized answer, which covers filenames with unprintable 
characters, etc, do this:
 ls -i sta*
This will give you the inode number and the filename.
Then do
find . -inum  -exec rm {} \; 
to delete it, or 
find . -inum  -exec mv {} newname \; 
to rename it.

This is, of course, magic - if you know the True Name of something, you have 
control over it. In *nix, the True Name is the inode number.

Netiquette

[Mark]

Folks,

   I've now been on the list for a couple of weeks, and I get the digest, and 
it seems as though there are a lot of newbies, so, as a public service to 
make the list easier to read, and more comprehensible, here's some standard 
email netiquette:

1) delete the messages other than the one you are replying to.
2) set your email so that you send out text only (or, if you *absolutely*
  *must* have fonts, etc, html only); in any case, *please* make sure
   that you aren't sending out text *and* html, which drives the rest
  of us crazy.
3) All email tools let you prefix quoted material. The standard is, of course,
a ">". Several levels of them, along with the attribution at the top
(that is, who wrote it), lets us understand it as a conversation.

Hope this helps.

for handling mail spools there are a lot of different better solutions than
NFS + NIS.
In example - Sendmail/Postfix with Cyrus imapd.
Cyrus has the capability to run a "clustered" environment of imap servers.

Replacing NIS with Kerberos and LDAP:
http://www.ofb.net/~jheiss/krbldap/howto.html

OpenLDAP, OpenSSL, SASL and KerberosV HOWTO
http://www.bayour.com/LDAPv3-HOWTO.html

Directory administrator:
http://diradmin.open-it.org/index.php

The first two documents are good information on how LDAP is set up
(though you can make up your own mind whether or not Kerberos is worth a
little additional effort).  Directory Administrator is an excellent tool
for easily managing users in an LDAP directory.

IIRC, no.  It probably never will be.  There's very little interest in
the continued development of NIS or NIS+.  They're Sun's protocols, and
Sun has moved on to LDAP along with everyone else.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I stay away from ASUS 
motherboards. I have one (ASUS CL2) in a server, now. The thing 
originally had Micron RAMM in it, and it ATE 2 sticks of 256 (PC100) 
RAM in the first few weeks. Lots of kernel panics and very strange 
crashes of services and processes over a 3-4 month period, too. No 
common cause, ... until other people had similar "strange" behavior 
with that combination.

My advice to the list:  Stay AWAY from ASUS motherboards and 
Micron RAMM!!  Very bad combination that WILL make your reliable 
Linux box as bad or WORSE than a Windows NT server!

Switching to Samsung RAMM solved my problem with the kernel 
panics and crashing. Seems that ASUS does something to the 
programming of the boards. Dunno what, exactly.

Actually, userdel -r  will, according to the man page, will
also remove their home directory and their mail spool. BE SURE that
you don't want to save anything they've done, first. At various jobs
I've had, when one of the folks leaves, I tend to tar their home directories
first, in case they had some code or files that they forgot to tell us
about that we needed. Those tarred files I'd keep for six months 
or so, at which point we figured that we didn't need anything in 'em,
and then deleted them.

Re: corrupt partitiontable

[Sean Staats]

I don't think it is possible to restore partition tables.  If you memorized
the exact size of each partition, you could possibly just repartition
the drive with that information and hope for the best.  As far as restoring
the MBR, somebody may know a way to use /boot/boot.b to restore the MBR.
 If the partition tables are lost, then there is not point in trying
to restore the MBR.
Good luck

Except the original question included: "I need onboard video and
networking", nad it doesn't have them.  It needs to go into a very
short box (1U), there isn't room for a bunch of PCI cards.
