Or "man bash".

Sure you can pipe to loops. Just remember that the loop will be in a subshell
so any variable settings won't have effect on the main shell. Thus:

a=1
ls | while read -r file; do a=$file; done
echo $a

will say "1". Usually if I need the loop to have effects on variables
I do this:

a=1
ls \
| { while read -r file; do a=$file; done
echo $a
  }
echo $a

which will print "foo" and then "1" (if "foo" were the last listed
filename).

Hi Russ,

If you didn't see a constant barrage of text streaming past when you got to the
login screen, then you probably do not have a runaway process on your hands. I
wish I could help but this one smells more like some kind of potential hardware
problem such as bad RAM rather than software.

If you do a "ps auxw | grep dhcp" you should see some dhcp daemon running.
I forget what it is, but in the man page for it, you should find a "-D"
command line option which turns that function off. You should be able to
find the config file for your dhcp somewhere in the /etc/sysconfig
structure or find more info in the man page.

# chkconfig --list

should show nfs and portmap running at runlevels 3, 4 and 5.

does "exportfs -a" show any errors on the nfs server?

what does "rpcinfo -p nfsserver" from the-other-host say?

Never tried it that way, but as "man ssh" tells us:

  ssh implements the RSA authentication protocol automatically.  The user
  creates his/her RSA key pair by running ssh-keygen(1).  This stores the
  private key in $HOME/.ssh/identity and the public key in
  $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub in the user's home directory.  The user should
  then copy the identity.pub to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys in his/her home
  directory on the remote machine (the authorized_keys file corresponds to
  the conventional $HOME/.rhosts file, and has one key per line, though the
  lines can be very long).  After this, the user can log in without giving
  the password.  RSA authentication is much more secure than rhosts authen-
  tication.

Which always worked for me.

I don't understand must I specify eth0 and eth1 ?

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 172.2.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE

eth0 : connected to the Internet with lease line ( IP address from ISP )
eth1 : connected with HUB and other client ( NAT + DHCP ), but the IP is
private...

So, if specify eth0, then what will happen ?

Thank for your help !

I've had excellent luck with Dell 2450's (2RU form, vs, the

Try booting from a windoze boot disk and doing fdisk /mbr.  IIRC, winnt 
bootloader doesn't play nice with Linux at all.  Once it is wiped you 
can install another bootloader of you choice.  If you use Lilo, boot 
from you Linux boot disk after you wipe the MBR then run /sbin/lilo.

How did you install MySQL?  RPM?  Source?

HHmm. I have to politely say that I didn't like your comment one bit Brian.

Are you sure sendmail is off in the runlevel your system is set to boot to?
With all due respect... I find this hard to believe.

1) Have you changed the hostname of your system lately? 
2) Is your systems resolver libs set correctly? i.e. DNS timeouts

The most common reason sendmail hangs at system startup is it cannot
determine it's FQDN and do a reverse lookup on that FQDN. A good starting
point would be to run:

AFAIK, Redhat has limited support (read-only) for NTFS. I would recommend
using FAT32 (VFAT) for sharing data on a HD between Linux and NT.

edit your /etc/nsswitch.conf so your "hosts:" line looks something like
this

hosts:  files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns

and in /etc/hosts, make sure you have your hostname appearing in your
"127.0.0.1" line.

RE: Personal Server Specification Recommendations

[Brad Alpert]

Heck I guess I'm nuts, but when I wanted a strong linux server, I went
to Ebay and bought a *server*.  I got a Compaq 1850R with 2 9.1 10k Wide
Ultra2 drives, hardware RAID 5 with write acceleration, 500 mZ PIII CPU,
and 128mB ECC RAM.  I paid $565 + freight for it.  I bought 2 more
matching drives for a hundred bucks apiece on Ebay, matched RAM from
Crucial for $55./256mB, a redundant power supply on Ebay for $37.50, and
a Compaq 15/30 DLT internal tape drive for $85 (Ebay again).

Then I downloaded and installed all the Compaq agents and got it
reporting out on port 2301 and alerting via snmp traps.

So I have about a grand in this machine and it's the real deal, and I'll
never have to worry about flaky drivers, incompatabilities, or component
failure.  It runs my web, DNS, ftp, internet connection, everything
needed to provide domain services for incoming and it's my proxy server
for getting out from my internal network.

I have nothing against workstations.  I have a half-dozen here at home
and I use them ruthlessly, but as workstations.  When I need a server, I
buy a server.

Just my two cents.

Brad

A little short on the info:

Are you using Masquerading too?
Where will the smb and imap (I guess that's what you meant, you said
LookOut port) connections be coming from? Are you the client or the
server?
Have you tried turning on logging ("man iptables") and seeing where they
get lost?

Try something like this if it's imap you are after:

iptables -A INPUT  -i ppp0 -p tcp --sport 143 -m state -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o ppp0 -p tcp --dport 143 -m state -j ACCEPT

This info may be wrong: take it with a grain of salt.

Unless I mis-understood the man pages on this, the only time you can
enable large-file support isn't in the kernel, it's in the filesystem
layout, specified in an option to the mkfs command. This means you can
only enable large-file support when you create the filesystem.

I *HOPE* somebody tells me I'm wrong on this btw, it seems to be a rather
brain-dead limitation. I'd love to know how it's done any other way.

DSL modems cannot "dial" an analog device, so it can't be done
directly. You can still use a dialup/analog modem with ADSL, if you
wanted to do it this way. The only problem is how to handle default
routing if you wanted both active at the same time. Othewise, you
should be able to dial out, disconnect, and maybe re-initialization
the previous networking if it got clobbered. There are some sites (I
think pay sites). efax.com used to do this.

Look in /etc/host.conf. There will be a statement there that looks like 

order hosts,bind

... which means that names should be resolved from the /etc/hosts
file, and then via dns. If "BIND" is first, that's why you're not
checking the hosts file.

How to set hostname so it's not dhcppc?

[Daevid Vincent]

Just installed RH8 on my notebook which uses DHCP to get on my
LAN/internet. This in turn keeps asigning my notebook name to be
"dhcppc6" -- which aside from being asthetically unappealing, also
causes X/Gnome to give a warning each time it starts. How can I set my
notebook's hostname to be say, "localhost" or "dell" or something and
STAY that way? I've tried "hostname localhost" and it sets it for that
session but then gets reset. Ugh. I "grep 'hostname' /etc/" and saw
rc.sysinit has some stuff, but didn't seem obvious where to change?

DÆVID.

No offence, but you probably don't: you probably want to LEARN HOW TO do those 
things, not actually DO them. There's a difference. You can learn how to 
design web site, do backups, and puzzle through MySQL without having to 
provide the service to others.

Three words: Hardware Compatibility List.  Depend on the pool of
experience and expertise at your local LUG.

A better idea: run to your local recycling center and get a machine that 
someone threw out because it couldn't handle M$. The price is going to 
be a LOT better ;-J.

Neither. I use a dynamic dns service (http://www.dyndns.org, but there are 
lots of others) and a free script that updates the DNS for me if my IP 
changes.

Issues: the internet is designed to work with a group of trusted computers
which are available 24/7/365. If you seek to join that club, be prepared 
for phone calls at 3 AM, from system administrators in far corners of the 
globe, who will be glad to help you solve your mail aliasing problem 
RIGHT NOW.

Concerns: be careful what you ask for. If you like 3 AM phone calls, 
that's OK, but if not, well, fetchmail is your friend.

Legality: IANAL. Just do it. Remember that stopping is a LOT harder 
than starting, so watch what you start.

HTH. YMMV, and almost certainly will ;-).

rh8 security: nfs & ssh

[Sam Steingold]

upgrading to rh8 broke nfs and ssh:

1. I cannot mount nfs:
   I have two machines on my lan (using a linksys router).
   both have identical /etc/exports:

/ 192.168.1.*(rw,async,no_root_squash)

   and /etc/fstab:

the-other-host://mnt/the-other-host nfs user,exec,intr,rw   0 0

   this setup worked with rh7.3 but now I get "permission denied".
   I have nfs-utils-1.0.1-2 installed.

2. ssh now requires a password to login:
   I have identical ~/.ssh/ on both machines (on local disks), and I
   use ssh-agent and with rh7 I was not asked password when I said
   "ssh the-other-host", but now ssh asks me for the password (and lets
   me in when I type the login password - not the ssh passphrase).
   I did not modify the stock /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and I suspect that
   there is a magic incantation that would work, but the man page only
   told me how to disable password auth - and although I am happy to do
   it, it does not help me to login without it.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my previous questions.

At most, two simultaneous users. That wouldn't seem to be enough to 
exhaust resources. I will check the session status next time it wedges, 
but I'd be very surprised if excessive close_wait states were the 
issue...especially since SquirrelMail opens and closes imap sessions, 
rather than re-using them. I'll definitely verify the netstat tables,

Subject: large file support

I have been struggling to get large file support in RH 8.0.

It seems to me that everything I try to do fails due to there being no
large file support compiled into the utilities that come with the OS -
eg ftpd, gftp, cp, rcp bla bla.

Is there a version of RH that I can download which has everything
compiled with large file support? It would be so much easier for those
of us who routinely deal with files in excess of 2GB.

That's not the problem.

Even if you are at level 3, you need the ctrl key to get away from the X
display.  And if you are in a virtual console, the ctrl key doesn't hurt
anything, even if it isn't strictly necessary.

Get a copy of Knoppix (knoppix.com).  It is a free CD image that has a
complete Linux on it that runs from the CD--no need to touch the hard
disk.  Download it, burn a CD, bring it to Best Buy.  If it can make
the hardware do good stuff, then likely Red Hat will too.

Yeah.  I should be on the installation media (cd or whatever)  But what
you REALLY should do is download all the open* rpms from
updates.redhat.com or a nearby mirror. and install them.  

Place all the files into a directory and do

rpm -Uvh openss*.rpm

I should install the ones you dont have and upgrade the ones you do. 
This will also get the openssl stuff.

Then get all the updates for your version and hardware and upgrade

Thanks, but that's not the problem.  The virtual consoles are really
broken.

> Make sure you also have mingetty installed,

Would mingetty be installed when I first boot the computer, and then
after some amount of time become mysteriously uninstalled, only to them
be mysterious reinstalled when I reboot the computer?

ps shows that at least some of the mingetty's are running:

   % ps auwwwx | grep -i mingetty
   root 926  0.0  0.1  1316  336 tty3 SNov12   0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty3
   root 927  0.0  0.1  1316  372 tty4 SNov12   0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty4
   root 928  0.0  0.1  1316  336 tty5 SNov12   0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty5
   root 929  0.0  0.1  1316  336 tty6 SNov12   0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty6

Strangely, there is no mingetty running on tty1 or on tty2, but I just
get a black screen if I try to switch to *any* of the virtual consoles,
even though there is a mingetty running on some of them.  If I try to
run a mingetty on tty1 as root, it just exits leaving the following
entry in /var/log/messages:

   Nov 15 18:27:17 gaffa mingetty[421]: /dev/tty1: cannot open tty:
  Operation not permitted

The "runlevel" command says that we are at runlevel 3.  The contents of
/etc/inittab look correct:

   # Run gettys in standard runlevels
   1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
   2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
   3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3

Other than the entry mentioned above, there are no errors containing
"mingetty", "tty", or "spawning" in /var/log/messages.

That's because your laptop requires acpi.  I'm not sure if Redhat has
incorporated ACPI in their latest kernels or not so you'll have to do
some checking.

Upgrade to the latest available redhat kernel and see

Re: Apache VERY slow on Red Hat 8.0 and there's no $PHPSESSID inPHP

[John Nichel]

Try $_COOKIE[PHPSESSID]

You have a newer version of php on your RH8 box, and "register_globals" 
is turned off by default now.  Be sure to check the manual for the 
$_GET, $POST_, $_SERVER, etc. arrays.

Raúl Santos wrote:
Hi everyone.

I installed the Apache RPM that comes with RH8, along with mySQL and PHP.
It's working but there's one small big problem. Actually, there's two.

The first one is speed. Apache couldn't be slower to respond - I suspect
it's
apache's fault because it's slow even when I don't start mySQL, so it
shouldn't be mySQL's fault, right?

Anyway, I point my browser to http://127.0.0.1 but I only start to see
something about
10 seconds after! Is there any reason for this? I didn't change anything
important - the only thing I changed was to prevent the httpd and mysqld
services from running at startup. Anyone has any idea about what's wrong?

The second problem is in PHP. $PHPSESSID is always empty! I'm working on a
website that has an admin control panel and I use sessions to control the
logins. In windows it works fine, in my company's webserver it works fine
too,
in my Linux instalation, $PHPSESSID is always empty and that screws up my
login
system. Any ideas about this one?

Thanks in advance!
Regards from Portugal,

Raúl

Has anyone looked at the Microtel range at walmart.com?  Since they are
available with Lindows or Lycoris, both of which are linux-based, it's a
pretty good bet that linux drivers are available for all their hardware. :)

$199 will get you an 800MHz VIA C3 / 128MB / 10GB box.

Both.  You may notice that Red Hat's mailman implementation is quite
old and in fact, they haven't even updated to the latest secure releases
that are available via up2date.  Makes one kind of wonder...  They're
running 2.0.1 and the RHN has 2.0.13.

In any case, mailman does have options to detect infinite loops like
this but even the current production releases miss a few.  In the beta
releases, the detection is supposed to be better and more cases will be
caught.

I've seen cases on my own server where an Exchange user caused an
infinite loop.  Exchange doesn't reply to the message but creates a
brand new out of office message instead.  Sigh...

RE: Almost there... (getting rid of spam)

[Glenn Goodspeed]

James - After you install MailScanner, you should turn Sendmail off using

chkconfig sendmail off

MailScanner, as part of its own start and stop routines, seems to start and
stop Sendmail.  To restart MailScanner and Sendmail use

service MailScanner restart

I'm not using SpamAssassin, so can't comment on that.  Maybe you could check
the /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf to be sure you're not contradicting
your SpamAssassin setup.  You might also check mail for root to see if
you're getting any clues.   -Glenn.

/etc/SpamAssassin/spam.assassin.prefs.conf for testing. Now that it's

Yes, it is really the end user's fault.  It's not our job to take care

IPtables / IPchains

[Tobias]

Good day!

I have now a network with a redhat 6.2 box as a gateway to internet using 
IPchains according to this guide: 
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/mini/Home-Network-mini-HOWTO-1.html

Then I heard that 'IPtables' would be better and eaysier to use and I found 
this site: http://shorewall.sourceforge.net/ And found that quite 
interesting.

Resently my neighbour connected to my network to use my internetconnection. So 
I thougt it was time to look over my firewall and internetsharing.

What I want to do is just give out certain IP-adresses and maybe decide how 
much traffic thta are allowed to pass trough (bandwith that is, not amount).

Example:
Internal IP: 192.168.1.10
Blocked ports: 58-68
Allowed bandwith: 200 kb/sec.

Internal IP: 192.168.1.20
Blocked ports: 58-70
Allowed bandwith: 200 kb/sec.


And these are the ONLY IP's avaible to use in the network.

Is this possible?

Regards
Tobias

RE: Personal Server Specification Recommendations

[Chris Mason]

You don't say wheter the server will have internet, a real IP, a static
IP, or what.
I have done what you are doing, I have a box that is on my internal
network, with a gateway that does NAT. I call the network mason.home and
the windows workgroup HOME.

As for the hardware, I would buy a good quality motherboard that is not
one of the cheapie integrated systems. Don't worry about processor
speed, I have a Pentium 600 running our office and we do huge files,
tons of projects, IMAP mail, and it never has a problem.

I have a 20 GB hard drive for the system and 2 x 80 GB IDE drives, one
backups up the other nightly. I would probably go RAID now but this was
an add on so I didn't.
The most important issues if you are building a Linux server for your
home office use is data safety and reliability. Speed is largely
irrelevant as you can't put any real load on it. Use good quality Linux
compatible hardware that had drivers in the kernel and you won't waste a
ton of time getting things to work.

If you have any samba issue email me, I've been through it all.

If eth0 is your outgoing connection, the masquerading rule above

  iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 172.2.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE

In a second attempt, the iptables source package contains the code
for the "ippool" program and the "pool" userspace extension module.
It's not compiled in with Red Hat Linux and I'm not familiar with
that part of iptables, but it might be of use to you.

Re: Personal Server Specification Recommendations

My Redhat8.0 Server is an old Compaq Presario 5660.  It has a PentiumII
450MHz processor, 192MB RAM, and a 12GB hard drive.  I added a Linksys
LNE100TX network card, adn swapped tghe original DVD-ROM drive for a
standard CD-ROM.  This machine is my production server which I to host my
website, email, etc., and is more than powerful enough to handle the load
I throw at it.  I have also used it as a file server, ftp, ssh, dns, and
dhcp without any trouble at all.  And while it is my "business" server, it
also happens to be in my home.

Also, having said all of that, for quite a while, I was accomplishing all
of those same tasks with a 200MHz Pentium with 96MB RAM and a 4GB hard
drive.

  Try 'xvidtune'. It comes as part of the XFree86-4.0.1-1.rpm on my
RH7.0 distribution. 
It allows you to 'tweek' your display settings - left, right, wider,
taller, etc. Set your Windows display, start  X in Linux, and (as
root) run xvidtune. Save your settings. Done.

Really turning off magicdev huh?

Does that make desktop workstation use feel any more responsive?

!
!
!
!   ... and continuing my stream-of-consciousness lifestyle ...
!
!   i just today suggested to my local LUG about trying to promote
! linux in the local public schools, either through the schools themselves
! or higher up at the school board level.  (this is in kitchener-waterloo,
! ontario, canada, in case any followup depends on the country in

!
!   one respondent mentioned that he thought it would be difficult
! to do this in his rural school system, as MS and compaq/HP had
! already dumped a pile of software and hardware on the schools,
! with the effect of creating a computer lab and classes obviously
! designed around MS products.  because of that, he thought it would
! be nigh impossible to get linux in the door.  (he claimed that all
! of this was at no cost, and i haven't yet heard whether that
! represents just the initial cost, whether it covers future
! licensing, or what).
!
!   i vaguely recall this sort of thing happening elsewhere, and
! it seems to raise serious conflict-of-interest issues.  in
! establishing a MS-only lab and curriculum in a public school,
! one can argue that taxpayer-funded, public facilities are
! being used to promote one corporation's interests to the
! exclusion of others.
!
!   i asked him to, if it was possible, approach his school or
! school board and offer to, at no charge, install linux on one
! or more of those PCs, to see the response.
!
!   if they say sure, terrific, we're in.  if they say no, that's
! probably because they've entered into some sort of exclusionary
! agreement with MS, and that's where the sh*t really should hit
! the fan.
!
!   even if both the HW and SW were donated, the entire infrastructure
! supporting it (school facilities, teacher time, etc.) is publicly-
! funded and this should raise some troubling legal issues.
!
!   does anyone have pointers to similar cases, how to approach

large file support

[Max Waterman]

I have been struggling to get large file support in RH 8.0.

It seems to me that everything I try to do fails due to there being no
large file support compiled into the utilities that come with the OS -
eg ftpd, gftp, cp, rcp bla bla.

Is there a version of RH that I can download which has everything
compiled with large file support? It would be so much easier for those
of us who routinely deal with files in excess of 2GB.

Max.

RE: SSH question.

[Rigler, S C (Steve)]

A "connection refused" message is indicative of either the port being blocked or 
closed.  When you say you "opened the port 22" does that mean that you enabled access 
in your firewall config?  If so, then the next place to check would be to make sure 
that there is actually a service listening on port 22:

At a prompt and as root do "netstat -tpln | grep 22"

If sshd is running the you should see something like:
tcp0  0 0.0.0.0:22  0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN  
928/sshd

If not, then sshd is not running.  Chkconfig it on (chkconfig sshd on) and start it 
(service sshd start).

phpbb and mysql -- impossible?

[Craig Iffelberg]

I have scrounged through mysql's web site, it was a mess,
dis-organised, docs made no sense.

I tried to have a go at it anyway, only to find that even
when turning on mysql server, the thing says it can't
connect to the database.

How do I get mysql to work? Is it broken?

I just don't understand how to make it go.

I want to set up a message board, phpbb, and it
all goes fine until the install, then it chokes itself and
punks up.

How does one go about activating mysql and making
a database for phpbb?

Please go easy on me, as I know nothing about mysql,
the docs made no sense at all to me, I wish they would
just tell you what to do and quit using all this darn
foo.bar.butt.crack stupid terms that mean nothing,
and just say in plain english what I have to tyupe
in my bash shell to set the stupid thing up.

I even tried web min, still didn't work, I just don't
understand it I guess, is it just for nerds or can
the average person use it?

I know enough to get an email server up and running,
and I got a web server up too, but that is all, and I don't
know what is up with this version's apache, it doesn't
know the meaning of "permission allowed" the darn thing
denies you access to all php or cgi and won't run if you
held a gun to it's head.

Thank you to all who can help.

Craig.

Re: rh8 and speed

[greg]

When I go into the system monitor program, where it gives me a list of
running prgrams, there are only two programs that are using system
resources constantly, they are gnome system monitor (the program I am
using to view the stats), and X.  X is reported as using 79.6m of
memory, and with regard to %cpu, all I have to do is use the scoll bar
on any particular window, and the %cpu figure goes up from 4% to nearly
50% without doing anything else.  Just moving the scroll bar!  System
monitor does the same thing, but uses less cpu%, but between the two,
moving a scroll bar uses up 50%+26% = 76%.

Everything else is using 0% cpu, and much smaller ammounts of memory.
Total memory usage stats are 236m of 249 (with the system just loaded
and my email program open, and system monitor, and swap usage = 0 of 2.1
gig.  So it is not using the swap yet, but still running very slow.

Re: ssh / https problems

[John Nichel]

I have this same problem on a 7.2 box, but it's for all network 
connections.  I just figured it was a hardware problem (since it's an 
old socket 7 motherboard with a 233AMD processor), even though I 
replaced the nic twice.  The box has just been sitting in the corner for 
a few months now (I don't have a spare monitor for it, and it got to be 
a pain in the ass disconnecting a monitor from one system to hook up to 
that one).  I'd be interested in hearing any possible solutions for this.

Mike Whorley wrote:

I've got a rather nasty intermittent network problem on our Linux server 
that is degrading the services it offers.
Basically, we only allow HTTPS and SSH access to the box. After a 
certain amount of time, the server simply refuses to accept either type 
of request. Prior to this, would have been working fine.

Any connected SSH sessions are immediately terminated when the problem 
occurs.
The cure is to go to the console and restart the network service.

The problem is intermittent but does tend to occur most days. We are 
running red hat 7.3.

I'm very new to Linux with an SA background in HP-UX, are patches 
available for Linux that may address problems like these ?

Can anyone recommend any checks ?...there are no clues in the messages 
file.

They should be required to have a /properly configured/ o-o-o reply.  What
does their company do when two of their users' are both out, and something
triggers a firestorm of o-o-o messages between them?

That's one clue-free IT department.

Basic structure is the same. I suppose the book is about BIND.
However, if you are new to setting up dns, so that whatever program you use

Once your local dns cache wrongly thinks www.cnn.com is 1.2.3.4, it will
keeps saying so until the time to live for that record expires (for
www.cnn.com is 5 min) or you restart the dns cache (supposing that it will

You may have to install/deinstall some rpms and try different

I like CUPS I used the switch printer application to turn off LPR.
Then you need to do the restart.

I used samba to let my linux machine see the printer on
