Your CD-ROM probably doesn't have a CD audio cable running to the sound
card.  In that case, Windows is playing the CD using CDDA.  You'd need a
similar player under Linux.  Unfortunately, I don't know of one.  

I have such a system; I just ripped all of my CD's to ogg, and play
those.

LILO won't run at boot

[Seth Brooks]

I installed Red Hat on a second partition (XP is on the first) and choose to run LILO instead of GRUB as the boot program.  However, whenever I boot up the computer, LILO doesn't run and XP just boots up (I have Partition Magic 7.0 and have tried to install BootMagic, but when I try to convert the partition with XP from NFTS to FAT32 I get an error message).
What do I need to do to get LILO to run at boot?

Silent audio CD's

[Richard Kimball]

I have a dual boot machine with XP on one drive and RH 7.3 on the other.  
When I play a sound CD under XP, everything works fine.  When I try to play 
one under RH, the CD Player app correctly identifies the CD and starts 
playing it, but no sound comes out.  I've checked the volume settings in 
GMIX and they're set high enough.  If I play a .mpg file I get sound.  Any

Re: Red Hat 7.2 server freezes...

[Mohd.Irfan R Khan]

first thing are u using a smp kernel ( i know it may be a stupid query)
Try installing and using it in  a text mode and check it out at the same
time check if ur hard drive cable is right as new hard drives are
ATA66-ATA100 and if u have mixed it up with some other hard drives as well
which of less capacity and might not be able to work properly.
try and give some more details of capacity of hdd and whether the cables are
ata66-ata100 compatible as well.

Hello Everyone

I have a RedHat 7.2 (2.4.7-10 kernel) server that has constantly been
freezing.  The machine will be on, but its as good as its turned off.  When
I go to the console, there is no video signal, and all I can do at that
point is a cold reboot.  I have replaced the NIC, changed the HD but to no
luck.  It is on a Dell 4300.  I am beginning to think that it may just be
some incompatibility that is causing these random freezes.  I am considering
upgrading to a newer kernel, or may be even upgrading to 7.3.  Has anyone
experienced such phenomena?

Any suggestions/concerns?

Re: installation problem

[Mohd.Irfan R Khan]

EVEN IF u do a reinstall ftp and telnet won't start  up on its own
you have to enable the service from /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and cp telnet to
ftp and
configure the ftp service by removing intelnet.d in ftp file as by default
there is no ftp file and telnet is disabled.

RE: Question on compiling

[S Peram]

Hi Gregory,
Thanks a lot for the immediate response.
My scenario is as follows:
Step 1: I've installed apache, php and mysql with 
1.# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache
2../configure --with-mysql \    --with-xml \    --enable-track-vars \    --with-apache=../apache_1.3.14 \
3.# make    # make install
4.# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \    --enable-module=rewrite \    --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
5. # make # make install
Step 2 :Now I've to add GD support with the following:
1. # cd /usr/local/src/php
2. #./configure --with-apache=../httpd --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-track-vars --with-gd=/usr/local/gd
3. # make # make install
4.# cd /usr/local/src/apache   # make   # make install
I was wondering whether Step 2 this will affect my previous installation in Step 1.
 
Your suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peram

Personally, I try the core pcmcia tools that come with RedHat 
(kernel-pcmcia package).  I'm pretty sure that Prism II based chipsets are 
supported by it.  From there it typically a simple matter to add the 
necessary parameters to /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts to enable your wireless 
connection.

Specific to your downloaded package, I'd ask the question to the wlan on 
their mail list.

Updating OpenSSl that was compiled from source

Hi all ,
Thanks for the replies, I just have one more humble request from you guys.
The openssl on my servers was compiled from source, is there any way that I can upgrade my OpenSSL 0.9.5a on RH 6.2 to the latest.
Since "rpm -qa | grep openssl" doesn't show any rpm packages.
I'd greatly appreciate your responses and suggestions.

wireless lan help desperately needed

[john]

Hi all,  can anyone help me.  I'm getting 
mega frustrated by trying to get a Linksys WMP11 wireless Lan connection to 
work.
I've installed the 7.3 rpms from the http://prism2.unixguru.raleigh.nc.us/ website, 
and they seemed to load OK.  Ican start the wlan0 OK during boot-up, or 
by typing /etc/init.d/wlan start,and the flashing light on the WMP comes on 
continuously.  However, I can'tmake contact with the router, 
192.168.1.1.  I think I've tried everything,but am obviously missing 
something.My wireless LAN works OK on Windows XP, and the various 
control panelreports tell me my machine is 192.168.1.100 and MAC is 
00-06-25-A7-5C-87 onan infrastructure network, using IRQ 11 channel #6 and 
my router is192.168.1.1.I domodprobe

After you start the panel, use the "save-session" command so that it will
run the next time you login to a GNOME desktop.

ls -h will be the same as ls, however ls -l and ls -lh should not show the

Re: Can I switch a rh6.2 in a rh72 without an upgrade?

[Bruno Negrao]

Thank you for answering.

If I choose to make a complete upgrade, what would happen with the other
installed software that I installed from the tar.gz source and compile it
with make?
Would these softwares function properly after the upgrade of all libraries
and stuff?

(I have a qmail+vpopmail+sqwebmail installed amongst other things)

Thanks,
bruno.

Copy the relevant configs:
sendmail: /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
apache: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
dns: /etc/named.conf /var/named/*

You can also work your own modifications into the new configs.  Diff is
useful for that:

diff -u /etc/mail/sendmail.mc /mnt/oldsys/etc/mail/sendmail.mc

If you recognize changes as your own, copy them into the new config.  If
you don't recognize changes, they may have been a change in the
defaults, and you can leave them alone.

Copy the relevant entries from your existing /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow
and /etc/group into the new files.  mail spools are in /var/spool/mail,
and can be copied to the new disks.

RE: persistent route

[rahul b jain cs student]

in order to make your routes permanent, you can add your route command to
the following file

/etc/rc.local

this file is called at boot time and hence any command present in this

Linux question on triple booting

[shannon rozeboom]

Hi
I am working on getting a triple boot installed on my computer.  I have 
already installed WIN98 and WIN2000 and am working on adding Linux.  
However, I am getting an error saying there is not enough space out of 
9538M. I have 1185M to work with. I have the boot files begining cylinder of 
256 and an ending of 268, size of 101M.  The swap file I have set at 753M 
from cylinder 1034 to 1129. The root is set from 1130 to 1215, size of 674.  
When I tried to reduce the swap and increase the root, it gave me the error 
i previously mentioned.   I am a student just learning Linux so be gentle.  
Thank you for you assistance.  Shannon McNair

Were you following instructions that told you to take those steps?  If

where are those instructs so we can start from the same page.

I'd like to do the same thing...well, sort of... but I got lucky for now
because the active directory domain I'm authenticating into is still
providing a PDC emulator for older (non-win2k) systems.  Thus the
authentication I'm doing against AD is actually not using kerberos at
all.

RE: Keyboard problems when connecting via switchbox

[Carl Boudreau]

Maybe the keyboard emulator of your KVM is different than your current keyboard 
driver.  The keyboard is constantly sending a signal to the mother board to ensure it 
is still there.  When you switch your KVM,  the KVM then in turn sends a signal to the 
motherboard,  it seems like the OS is seeing a different keyboard.  try changing you 
current keyboard to a standard 101 keyboard type. or another driver.

Subject: Keyboard problems when connecting via switchbox


Another problem on one of our somewhat exotic setups:

I just tried connecting a Red Hat 7.3 box to the keyboard and monitor via 
a switchbox (combined screen/mouse/keyboard; mice still connected directly 
due to lack of appropriate cables), where a different workstation - an old 
SGI O2 - is also connected.

Now, when booting with the Linux box active, everything would work fine. I 
could then switch to the SGI, and discovered no problems there either. 
However, when I switched back to the Linux box again, problems started 
occurring; the keyboard setup got messed up somehow. I could still type 
normal characters, but:
1. Alt/Ctrl combinations - including attempts to switch to a different VT 
via Ctrl+Alt+Fkey - failed.
2. Arrow keys did not work.
3. Auto repeat appeared to be switched off.
4. Caps Lock, Num Lock etc. had no effect.
5. Messages like

Sep 23 13:51:28 ringerike kernel: keyboard: unrecognized scancode (71) - 
ignored
Sep 23 13:51:32 ringerike last message repeated 4 times
Sep 23 13:51:33 ringerike kernel: keyboard: unrecognized scancode (5e) - 
ignored
Sep 23 13:51:34 ringerike last message repeated 3 times

were added to system log.

I got the same behaviour in text mode and under X, and found no way out 
except to reboot. I also tried again several times, with the same results.

Any idea why this happened?

RE: Active Directory Authentication via Linux

[Rechenberg, Andrew]

Are you trying to authenticate with pam_smb, Kerberos, or LDAP?  Do your
usernames in /etc/passwd match those in your AD?  Are you not using
/etc/passwd and using LDAP or NIS instead?  Do you get an 'invalid
password' error when you attempt to login?

Pam_smb_auth.so is fairly straightforward to setup if you have local
usernames that match those in your Active Directory.  It looks like
you've already setup your login PAM file.  What does your
/etc/pam_smb.conf file look like?

Also /bin/login has some issues with pam_smb if you're logging in
remotely (via Telnet, SSH, etc.).  The remote workstation from which you
login must have a reverse-DNS entry (i.e. your hostname can be resolved
by your IP address).  If it is not, login will seg-fault and your
session dies.

Our Linux box here at work has all user accounts in the Active Directory
and we use pam_smb to successfully authenticate users via SMB to our
2000 DC's

Let me know if you have any specific questions about implementation
details.

Regards,
Andy.

I have done the following to-date:

Ran authconfig and set SMB, LDAP, and Kerberos 5 all on with server

Slapper worm

Hi All,
I have a couple of Linux machines one running RH 7.2 with Openssl 0.9.6b and one with RH 6.2  OpenSSL 0.9.5 a.
If I need to upgrade my machines  to the latest version of OpenSSL 0.9.6e with respect to vulnerabilities of the slapper worm, I'm kind of confused on how to do that, since I've downloaded and compiled OpenSSL. Since I'm a fairly new guy to Linux, I'd appreciate if any of you gurus can clarify to me whether downloading and installing the rpm's  at http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-160.html will patch my existing installations of OpenSSL or is there any other way.

RE: RedHat 7.2 server freezes...

[Rechenberg, Andrew]

Does /var/log/messages show anything amiss?  

We had some issues on our Dell 6300 with kernels below version 2.4.16
and kupdated hanging during high disk I/O.  The load average would
skyrocket and then the server would be locked.

If you are having similar symptoms and nothing shows up in
/var/log/messages, and if you want to keep a Red Hat kernel, I would
download the kernel source RPM for the latest Red Hat kernel (2.4.18-10
I believe) and build kernel RPMS for your system.  Otherwise, download a
vanilla kernel from your favorite kernel.org mirror and compile and
update your kernel that way.

Hope this helps,
Andy.

Subject: RedHat 7.2 server freezes...



Hello Everyone

I have a RedHat 7.2 (2.4.7-10 kernel) server that has constantly been
freezing.  The machine will be on, but its as good as its turned off.
When I go to the console, there is no video signal, and all I can do at
that point is a cold reboot.  I have replaced the NIC, changed the HD
but to no luck.  It is on a Dell 4300.  I am beginning to think that it
may just be some incompatibility that is causing these random freezes.
I am considering upgrading to a newer kernel, or may be even upgrading
to 7.3.  Has anyone experienced such phenomena?  

Any suggestions/concerns?

Tinu

Hi Ed, ls -h shows the same thing a regular ls shows.  I haven't edited
anything on this system so ls is just ls.  Any other ideas?

Hello

Just thought I'd add a few words to the previous reply.

If you add the lines that " LINUX POWER " suggests then you
will be able to mount your cdrom with the command:

  mount /mnt/cdrom

I use debian at home myself but I believe that in order to
run the command:

  mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdc /home/sheng/cdrom

you usually need to be a root user - you can easily check
this of course.

The easiest solution is to get the gdk-pixbuf from rawhide or 7.3.

this is an install of 7.2 from CDROM to a toshiba

basically took all defaults.  had a network card
in the whole time but was not using it.

then on the first boot it got to "Starting pcmcia:"
and hung indefinitely.  taking out the card
did not help.  any advice appreciated

RE: Shutdown error (the old umount2 error) SOLVED

[Benjamin R. Mohilef]

The symptom was umount2 couldn't unmount /usr. We added a 
diagnostic mod to  /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt.  Adding a call to /sbin/fuser to 
find the offending pid(s) and then to /sbin/lsof to see exactly what files 
were preventing the umount we got:

 COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE   NODE 
NAME
... bunch of irrelevant stuff snipped 
S01halt 1065 root3r   REG3,3 30306528 214860 
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
S01halt 1065 root  255r   REG3,7 5575  96095 /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt

The file /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt incorporates /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. The 
/usr locale file turned out to be called up by /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions in 
the line which goes something like this:
   if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ]   . 

Somehow I had installed i18n (the international set). In the spirit of 
adventure, I renamed /etc/sysconfig/i18n to /etc/sysconfig/i18n.notnow. 

Several hot and cold reboots (with my rescue disk handy) indicated 
that the original symptom was fixed with no degradation of other 
programs after renaming the i18n file. 

This is certainly not the only way you can end up with  umount2 errors 
in RH or any other distribution. The error mesage you get is rather ..er.. 
terse (although it is definitely better than "Unknown Vxd Error: 
Windows Will Close Now"). 

If your filesystems are ext3, you may not suffer much of an annoyance. 
However, ext2 will run a  fsck on the errant mount on the 
next boot, and it is unlikely that you won't notice it. 

Here is one possible diagnostic mod to  /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt (this one 
assumes there is only one errant mount . Make a copy of 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/halt before making this mod . Similar code works for me, 
your mileage may vary.) :

RE: FIND command Locks up Redhat System

[Rechenberg, Andrew]

What kernel version are you running?  We had some issues with kernels
prior to 2.4.16 with regard to virtual memory and kupdated that would
lock up our database box (not Oracle, but still a database).  

If your database is running kinda hard and you start thrashing your
filesystem and you have an older kernel, that could be your problem.  

Also, do you run any kind of NIS or LDAP user information service?  If
your NIS or LDAP connection gets wacked, that can cause problems too
waiting for UID/GID information.

Regards,
Andy.

Best advice you've been given is to bring the system down and run fsck
on the disk.  If you find errors, you probably should update all of the
errata available for your system, especially the kernel.  7.3 was
released with a kernel that will corrupt its filesystem on SMP machines.

As for the other advice:
* find by itself is fine for /dev and /proc, you just normally don't
want to add "-exec grep" or "|xargs grep" into the mix.
* recursive symlinks won't be followed forever, the kernel will throw
ELOOP after you follow too many symlinks
* None of those problems should cause the system to lock up.

Also I was wondering whether packages from RH 7.1 and .2 and .3

Re: You may still be vunerable to the Slapper Worm

[Scott Sharkey]

James,

If you examine the SRPMs on RedHat's Site, you will
see that the patches for this exploit were back-ported
and applied when the exploit was discovered in July.  That
is why the RPM's pre-date the worm, which was apparently
written AFTER the exploit was discovered.

RedHat often back-ports security patches to earlier, generally
better-tested versions of packages.  Often it's safer to
back-port a security patch than to roll out a new, untested
version which incorporates the patch.

So, just apply the RPM that is on the RedHat site.

=Scott

Windows manager fails to start

[Chris Harris (cw)]

I am running RH7.3 with KDE3.0.3

Something has gone wrong with the setup of one user. KDE fails as it is
trying to start the windows manager; the system hangs completely, the
keyboard locks and the only way out is to hit the reset button.

Other users and root are ok.

Has anybody had a similar experience?
Where should I start looking?

Cheers
Chris

RE: Shutdown error (the old umount2 error) SOLVED

[Benjamin R. Mohilef]

(Repost - First Message Never Showed Up )

The symptom was umount2 couldn't unmount /usr. We added a  diagnostic mod to  
/etc/rc.d/init.d/halt.  Adding a call to /sbin/fuser to find the offending pid(s) and 
then 
to /sbin/lsof to see exactly what files were preventing the umount we got:

COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE   NODE NAME
... bunch of irrelevant stuff snipped 
S01halt 1065 root3r   REG3,3 30306528 214860
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive S01halt 1065 root  255r   REG3,7   
 5575  96095 /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt

The file /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt incorporates /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. The /usr 
locale file 
turned out to be called up by /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions in the line which goes
something like this: 
   if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ]   . 

Somehow I had installed i18n (the international set). In the spirit of adventure, I 
renamed /etc/sysconfig/i18n to /etc/sysconfig/i18n.notnow. 

Several hot and cold reboots (with my rescue disk handy) indicated  that the original 
symptom was fixed with no degradation of other programs after renaming the i18n 
file. 

This is certainly not the only way you can end up with  umount2 errors in RH or any 
other distribution. The error mesage you get is rather ..er.. terse (although it is 
definitely better than "Unknown Vxd Error: Windows Will Close Now"). 

If your filesystems are ext3, you may not suffer much of an annoyance. However, 
ext2 will run a  fsck on the errant mount on the next boot, and it is 
unlikely 
that you won't notice it. 

Here is one possible diagnostic mod to  /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt (this one assumes there 
is only one errant mount . Make a copy of /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt before making this 
mod . Similar code works for me, your mileage may vary.) : 

..
fi
sleep 8
remaining=`halt_get_remaining |sort -r`
+   garbage=`/sbin/fuser -m $remaining |awk -F: ' {print $2}'`
+   echo $garbage
+   for entries in $garbage; do
+   entry=`echo $entries |sed  s/[a-z]//`
+   echo "PID: " $entry
+   /sbin/lsof -p $entry |grep $remaining
+   ps ax |grep $entry | grep -v grep;
+   done
/sbin/fuser -k -m $remaining > /dev/null
sleep 5
   .

install of redhat 7.3 on ms-6547 atx Mainboard - Micro Star

[paul]

 

Has anyone installed red hat 7.3 micro star ms-6547 ATX motherboard(
known as 645 Ultra) with a Pentium 4, 1.8Ghz processor? Have you encountered
any problems? 

 

I would be grateful to know as I am planning to do so for a
dual boot with XP and would appreciate a heads up on difficulties….

 

Thanks 

 

RE: persistent route

[Rechenberg, Andrew]

Add your routes to /etc/sysconfig/static-routes.  If that file doesn't

wish to add in that file.

Hope this helps,

RE: Active Directory Authentication via Linux

[Brian Lucas]

Title: RE: Active Directory Authentication via Linux





OK, I'm the original poster of this message and here's what I discovered that ultimately made it work.


Using the PAM_SMB module, users that had complicated passwords with special characters failed SMB authentication.  I changed mine to something less complicated (temporarily) and everything went through without any problem.  I suspect that it's not "escaping" the password characters correctly.  Bug??

Thanks Andy and Javier for your comments.

You are right. I'm using SMB authentication. Not kerberos authentication. Let me explain how I got to where I am:


My first attempt at unified authentication was from a samba document which explained how to use winbind. This required winbindd, pam_winbind and hand tweaking of /etc/pam.d/*. I got it to work, but all usernames were in a format like "DOMAIN+username", which looked horrible when you tried ls or anything, not to mention typing it to log in to the system. So I sent it to /dev/null.

Next, I got hold of a document called "Authenticating Redhat 7.3 against the Active Directory". This document explained how to configure your RH box to authenticate with the kerberos component of an Active Directory Server. After following it step by step, things didn't quite work. So I sent it to /dev/null.

After some more googling, I came across a web page mentioned earlier on this thread (the pam_smb home page). this page mentioned /etc/pam.d/system-auth, which wasn't mentioned in the other docs I had read. I checked this file, and found the mention of authconfig. So I run it and everything worked so smoothly that I kept it there to show to my boss.

So to sum it up:


1. Samba's winbind method was a hassle.
2. Kerberos just plain did not work.
3. Pam_smb configured with authconfig worked like a charm.


Since my objective was not to (implement a technology) use kerberos to authenticate, but to solve a problem (use the Windows Active Directory to authenticate), pam_smb stayed because it solved my problem in an easy way.

Note to Redhat: This process should be better documented in the manuals, either the Reference Guide or the Customization Guide.

What rpm is based on is the version number and the provides/requires
information.  If you played by the rules, you should be okay.  If,
however, you used a Red Hat version numbering system and your version is
older than Red Hat's, your package will likely be updated.

What you should typically do is to not use the native installation
procedures.  Download a Red Hat source rpm, install the source, then go
in and change the source tar file, update the spec file, and build.
Then you'll have the right info in the right places.  

I think that you're currently in the situation where Red Hat does not
know that you've got Apache, SSH, or OpenSSL even installed (how could
it, if they're not in the rpm database?).  If you try to install another
package that has one of them as dependencies, the packages will need to
be re-installed.

If I was in your shoes, I'd back the system up, do a clean install, and
then re-apply the customizations.  Yeah, that sucks...

Probably worth a try: Get the Gnomehide RPMS:
gdk-pixbuf-0.14.0-8.i386.rpm
gdk-pixbuf-devel-0.14.0-8.i386.rpm
gdk-pixbuf-gnome-0.14.0-8.i386.rpm
from 
ftp://people.redhat.com/hp/gnomehide/7.2/RPMS/
and use the packages to upgrade your current gdk-pixbuf.

RE: RH Updates with manually-installed software?

[Trevor]

You should have used checkinstall
 when building from source.
In this case, I recommend against using RH update to update your RPMS.

http://rpms.arvin.dk/ has many up-to-date packages available.

I strongly recommend that you download the SRPMS and rebuild them against
your libraries on your RH 6.2 box or reinstall from scratch (7.3).

Apache, OpenSSH, and mod_ssl should be found on the rpms.arvin.dk's site.
Get the OpenSSL from RH's update page.

Good luck,

Re: ethernet card setup

[Gene Wang]

ok, solved it.  it turns out to be an irq problem. 
The bios didn't assign an irq to eth0, thus, by
default, irq is given a 0 or 255 value.  You can check
that under dmesg. you solve it by turning off PnP in
the bios setting.  just thought some of you might want
to know.

RE: Active Directory Authentication via Linux

[Furnish, Trever G]

I'm under the impression that you are using the "old" nt method of
authentication here rather than kerberos.  I would expect that as most sites
move to active directory they will eventually disable support for their old
authentication mechanisms in order to benefit from win2k and later's native
kerberos authentication.

If I'm reading this wrong and you are actually using kerberos with this
setup, please correct me...

Boot Up Problem

[Matt]

I'm new to linux and am having a problem.  
When i boot up i get the error that looks something like 
 
fsock.ex2
superblock could not be read or does not describe a 
correct ext2etc
 
now i think i know how to fix the problem however, 
it allows me to go into some maintance mode using my root password and to fix 
the problem i need to edit /etc/fstab
i try doing it with pico but it says i cant its

RE: configuring iptables to allow gamevoice

[Kim, Hyung M.D.]

The info I have is from the Gamevoice website (www.gamevoice.com).
According to the site, Gamevoice only uses udp.  I'll try adding an INPUT
rule.  I would not be surprised if a "helper" filter is needed.  The program
is made by microsoft:< and it may work similarly to msn messenger voice,
which does not work over iptables.  

I just wanted to use Gamevoice while playing Unreal tournament 2003.

Thanks

A few things:

1) Never hurts to add the inbound interface to your rule.

2) Are you sure udp is the only protocol involved in gamevoice?

3) Are you sure you only need to worry about one port? If there is a data
and a
control channel on separate ports, a "helper" netfilter extension would
likely
have to be coded.

Re: Dynamic IP Address from Cable - Help?

[Mike Burger]

YOu just need to set up /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (where X 
is the number of the ethernet interface connected to the cable modem) to 
BOOTPROTO=dhcp

The ipchains configuration should not be referring to an IP address on the 
external interface, unless there are mroe than one IP addresses being 
assigned.  If your brother's getting one IP, then just reference eth0.

As to how to set up the firewall, I could give you a script, but it's for 
iptables...when I went to firewalling, I got a little bit of help from a 
friend, and we went right for iptables, skipping ipchains.

Re: Can I switch a rh6.2 in a rh72 without an upgrade?

Not really...there are siginificant enough differences in the libraries

over.

RE: Dynamic IP Address from Cable - Help?

[linux power]

You must have 2 nics in your brothers maschine.
eth0 connected to ADSL modem and
eth1 connected to the lan.
I never make it or got an decent answer here on he
list using ipchains as firewall,One person said I
should use bridge, and another said not. Very
confusing.The third person said I should use nat
,masquerade and iptables, so finally i get it up and
running after much work.
1.st Check if your kernel is enabled for nat and
iptables.These modules should be loaded to perform
iptables firewall.

iptable_nat15092   1 (autoclean)
[ipt_MASQUERADE]
ip_conntrack   15788   2 (autoclean)
[ipt_MASQUERADE ipt_state iptable_nat]
iptable_filter  1696   1 (autoclean)
ip_tables  12384   8 [ipt_MASQUERADE
ipt_LOG ipt_limit ipt_state iptable_nat
iptable_filter]
Try modprobe ip_tables and see if you can install
it.If you can not you have to enable it in your kernel
and compile it. And that is a chapter of itself.So if
not you cannot install the required modules, you can
keep asking this list for an proper answer using
forwarding and ipchains. Bridge doesent help much.
But I srongly recommend iptables as firewall because
its easier to apply rules exactly for you need, and
google is full of examples.

Actually, I was not following any web page. I had been fiddling with several
methods of authenticating RH linux against windows NT/2000 servers when I
checked the actual contents of /etc/pam.d/system-auth and found this notice
at the top of the file:

[jgostlin@jgostling pam.d]$ more system-auth 
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.

So, I run authconfig and found the relevant options.

Never mind about it. My servers are Win2K in native mode. The step by step
process I used is the following:

1. Run authconfig (asks for root password, so make sure you are connected on
a secure line, like ssh or a vpn).
2. On the first page, make sure that no check boxes are checked (I might
change this advice regarding the "Cache Information" entry once I play more
with this beast).
3. Punch the "Next" button.
4. You probably already have "Use Shadow Passwords" and "Use MD5 Passwords"
checked from installation. Now check "Use SMB Authentication" and uncheck
"Use LDAP Authentication" and "Use Kerberos Authentication".
5. Fill your Workgroup/Domain name and your authentication server(s) (up to
two servers AFAIK).
6. Punch the "Ok" button.
7. Create local accounts with the same username as the windows accounts.
Leave the password field in /etc/shadow with an invalid entry (!!).
8. Test logging in on a second connection (or console).

You may have to change this a bit, since I did it on a 7.3 box and you have
a 7.2 system. Please let me know if you run into any problems, because I
have to set this up in some production boxes soon, and those are 7.2.

RE: Slapper worm

[S Peram]

Hi Trevor, 
Thanks a lot for the reply.
The following are the results of
# rpm -qa | grep openssl 
openssl-0.9.6b-8openssl-devel-0.9.6b-8openssl095a-0.9.5a-11openssl096-0.9.6-6
I've compared with the ones you have mentioned below and found that the ones I have are older versions.
I tried to upgrade the versions using rpm -Uvh openssl-0.9.6b-28.i386.rpm but I'm getting the following error:
openssl = 0.9.6b-8 is needed by openssl-devel-0.9.6b-8
Is it necessary that I remove all the old  installation of openssl using 
"rpm -e " and can i do that since I've a compiled version of Openssl .
and the reinstall again , if so will it have any effect on the running system.
I'd greatly appreciate your reply.
 
Thanks,
Peram

Were you following instructions that told you to take those steps?  If so,

I'd like to do the same thing...well, sort of... but I got lucky for now
because the active directory domain I'm authenticating into is still

AFAIK, the cable modem doesn't have any address (other than a hardware
serial number).  The cable modem just converts the cable signals into
Ethernet, the address that 'the world' sees is the address of your interface
that is connected to the cable modem.

You'll want to find a free DNS service such as:

Re: Logical Volume Manager?

[James Pifer]

Well, I'm not against a clean install of 7.3 and then copying the data
back, except for a few things. 

1) Never done it before, but that's never stopped me before. 

2) I'm running Sendmail, Apache, and DNS. I'm not sure how or what to do
to bring those back up without completely reconfiguring them.

3) Lastly, I don't want to have to recreate all my users. (mainly used
for POP3 email with sendmail; no home directories to worry about)

Any suggestions? Thanks,
James
