- kill all rpm processes
- rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__*
- install rpm-4.1-9 from ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj/test-4.1/

rpm-4.1-9 doesn't fix the problem for me, but it's an improvement.

Search through https://bugzilla.redhat.com for more info.

This is a known issue with 8.0. 
This should fix it::
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* 
rpm --rebuilddb

Faulty RPM on rh8

[Kevin Breit]

Hey,
I have a mostly new Red Hat 8 install (two days).  When I do rpm -Uvh
anything it just sits there and doesn't do anything with the rpm.  Same
goes for anything that uses RPM.  How can I fix this?

Tripwire Report via Mail

[Allen Wayne Best]

hi all:

i am having a most curious problem with tripwire on one of my servers. it 
will not mail the report to the GLOBALEMAIL recepient. the server and 
workstations work fine. the two servers are near identical, one being the 
fall back for the other. their configuration files (twcfg.txt) are identical. 
i have done ./twinstall.sh and tripwire --init -c twcfg.txt -p twpol.txt 
numerous times in an attempt to get the mail to work. Cron run-parts and 
LogWatch both run fine and mails the reports on both machines. just a 
weirdness with tripwire.

/usr/sbin/sendmail exits.
all the mail configuration is fine... in fact, this is the same machine as my 
mail server. no problems there. it had been working find up until about two 
weeks ago. nothing had changed on the server in that time frame! curious. any 
suggestions are most appreciated.

The RULE project's installers can help install the 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0 
releases on machines with as little as 8M of RAM.

I used the RULE "Slinky" installer to install the 8.0 release on a Toshiba 
Satellite Pro 420CDS. (P100 w/ 40M of RAM.) Then I added a minimal 
version of XFree86 using the Xkdrive servers and the fluxbox window 
manager. It's actually fairly responsive. Less than 5 seconds from 
"startx" to a usable desktop.

As an added data point, I just completed an upgrade to 7.3 on my home
firewall box a IBM P90 with 32mb.  Text mode install went fine.  I can't
imagine running ANYTHING less than 16MB and not sure how you would get
it installed other than one of the micro distros.

although looking at it now it really runs pretty lean,

Of course this is a firewall only with sshd about the only service other
than ipchains, soon to be iptables and will probably do the ipsec deal
again that I had running under 6.2 on the same box.

Thanks!  I fixed it by creating my patch based on the latest source rpm,
editing the spec file, and then rebuilding the rpm.  It seems to work
like I want it to so far.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!  My maillog is cleaner
now.

Re: Newbie wanting to use adsl connection with Redhat 7.3

[Doug]

Well, if your rh box is connected directly hooked to the adsl router
then hub, then the IP should be the one supplied by the isp..  
the ip you have listed below is a private net ip, which you don't want
to use.

Windows weirdness.

[Darryl Harvey]

I am having trouble getting my X-Windows up and running.
Machine:  RedHat 7.3
A bit of history;   it used to work.  My machine crashed (Lightning Hit on
Phone line) and it was rebooted, all seems ok, except for two things.
X-Windows does not start up on my remote workstation.  (I use Exceed on a
PC) X used to work just fine and AFAICT no config fiels have been changed..
The Linux box has full network connectivity and no errors on boot up.

But When I try to connect to X from a remote terminal, I do see this in
/var/log/messages and it has me baffled.

Nov 27 20:30:42 cascade kdm[3151]: Hung in XOpenDisplay(169.254.0.0:0),

Why is it using 169.254.0.0:0 ???  The machine  I am coming from is
192.168.8.10, and the IP on this machine is 192.168.8.200.

Where is it getting the 169.254.0.0 address from ??
Any clues  to help me on my way ?
(If I log in via SSH, manually set the DISPLAY variable and then execute an
xterm, the window pops up on my workstation, so the PC (AFAICT) is working
ok)

Thanks
Darryl

Newbie: Kernel Framebuffer Logos

[Geoffrey Lane]

Something I've been wondering for quite some time, I love the little logo
 that appears ontop when you are loading the installation program... I heard
 someone call it a "Kernel Framebuffer Logo" on a website but no reference on
 how to create an image to use it or how to "install" it... I'd really love
 it if someone would help me out and tell me if it is possible and if they
 would tell me how it's done. I'd appreciate it soo much...
I've also heard that there was a tux included in there, and to be honest that
would be perfect...

Thanks in advance

In the corresponding rpm package. The daemon names are the file
names. E.g. for wu-ftpd, it would be wu.ftpd or in.ftpd (with
wu.ftpd being a link to in.ftpd). For OpenSSH, it would be sshd.

Btw, it's hosts.allow, not hosts.access.

It is impossible with syslogd, because there is no facility called
"ipop3". See "man syslog.conf". You could make it log to a less
used facility, e.g. local0.* to local7.*. It would be done by
changing a single line in c-client/env_unix.c from

openlog (server,LOG_PID,LOG_MAIL);

to

openlog (server,LOG_PID,LOG_LOCAL0);

Syntax question

[Ragnar Wiencke]

Hi guys.

I've been reading all the man pages but there are some
questions I didn't get answered. The hosts_access man page
says this.
 All other lines should satisfy the  following  for­mat,
things between [] being optional:
 daemon_list : client_list [ :
shell_command ]
   daemon_list  is a list of one or more daemon process
names (argv[0] values) or wildcards (see below).

My question is this: Where can I see the names of the daemon
processes as they are supposed to be written in the
hosts.access and hosts.deny files?

Thanks in advance,
Ragnar W.

Re: glibc 2.3 causing compile problems?

[Rikard Bostrom]

Hi,

The reason the program didn't compile had something to do with
bzip2. If I installed the rpm bzip2-development it worked like
a charm... same thing if I downloaded the bzip2 source code
and compiled that. I think it's stupid that the bzip2-development
package wasn't installed in the first place, as I selected all the
development packages in the install. But bzip2 isn't even listed
there, so I had to install it manually.

I really don't like RedHat's package tool in 8.0, is there an other tool
out there I can use?

Actually, the requirements are on the Red Hat web site (after a bunch of
whining by people like me).  I believe the current requirement (but
haven't confirmed it) is 64MB ram for text mode, and 128MB for
graphical, with 192MB recommended for graphical.  A Pentium or better is
required.

There is *no* safe version of Red Hat Linux that can be installed on a
386 with 8MB Ram.  All versions that old have serious security holes.

I believe your best bet at this stage is to replace the hardware with
something manufactured in the last 5 years.  Even a 5-year old system -
which was typically a Pentium 200 or better - can be upgraded to 64MB
Ram.  I finally got rid of a 7-year old P166 with 48MB earlier this year
for $20.  A friend gave me a PentiumPro 200 with 64MB to give to another
friend a few months ago.  eBay has multiple systems that meet the
requirements with a Buy-it-Now price of around $40-50 (which is around the
price of a Red Hat Linux box set).

Hi Michael,

I'm both able and willing to patch it, but I'd prefer to see a patch
that simply moved the logging facility from mail.* to ipop3.*.  That
would allow all the logging to still continue, but move them to a
separate file with a new entry in syslog.conf.  Is this difficult?  I'm
not much of a C programmer...

Thanks,

Would anyone know of any good tutorials for setting up sendmail, to allow
sendmail to forward incoming mail to another smtp client.

I believe I have set it up correctly but you know, it never quite works out
that way.


Thanks

Even 7.x, which may run on a 386 will be severely starved for
resources on an 8-meg machine. Red Hat's installer likely won't have
a chance of running on 8 megs, not even in text mode. You may wish
to look up the "rule" project, they have an installer (I haven't
tried it, so take this with salt) that may work for you, though.

But even if you DO get 7.x installed on a 8 meg 386, you 'll find
yourself thinking of the end of the world as you wait for anything
to happen. Besides a slow CPU, it'll be swapping its little brains
out. YOu won't even be able to do 'ls' in a text console without
a swap storm.

Unless you're a serious masochist, you'll want to skip installation
of all GUI-related stuff and just use it as a text-mode unix clone.

Does this 386 by any chance have 30-pin SIMM sockets in it? I've got a 
good-sized pile of 1-meg 30-pin simms around if you would like to
have some more.

Most likely, your XF86Config file specifies a frequency configuration
for your monitor which is Ok for the 17" monitor, but out of range of
the 15" one. Get the manual of the 15" monitor, check the frequency
range and fix your XF86Config. X should discard modes which don't fall

I thought this was a problem as well, but if you wait a minute or two 
the graphical login SHOULD show. I use a 15" monitor and have my 
resolution stuck at 1024x768. I think the blank screen is just the 
monitor adjusting for the (relatively) high resolution. IF your 
resolution is at that, give it a few minutes.If it's stuck any longer, I 
have no clue.

64kb is the most common that I've seen.

depends how many disks you have. You don't mention how many you have

Again, depends on how many disks. Raid 10 would probably be best if
the controller supports it and if you have enough disks. I have a redhat
7.3 system at home here and it runs on a Mylex Acceleraid 150, with
5 Ultra 2 9.1GB[1] drives connected to it. they are in raid 5 with 1
hot spare. It works fine for the / partition.

Good luck, I had a IBM ServeRAID a while back and it was very picky,
it would POST about 60% of the time in an older P2 system, but in a newer
P3 it would never POST. Maybe the card was bad(friend got it offa ebay
I think).

Newbie wanting to use adsl connection with Redhat 7.3

[Joseph Teo]

hey list,

I just got a external dynalink adsl router connected to a hub with 2
computers coming off.  I can ping all machines in both windows and linux
environments.

Currently, I have got my adsl connection working perfectly in windows but in
Redhat 7.3, i'm clueless in what i'm suppose to do in configuring the system
so that i can surf the net within linux.

 I changed the ip address on my machine to correspond to the one in windows
with the correct subnet.

my settings are:  IP:  192.168.1.20
 Subnet: 255.255.255.0

i setup a default route to my adsl router which is 192.168.1.1.

Is there a command in linux which i'm suppose to configure and go through?
What else am i not doing or have done wrong?

Joe

Are you able [and willing] to patch the imap package and build a
non-logging ipop3d? If so, feel free to insert attached patch into
the package spec file and rebuild it. ipop3d would then not log
anything any longer (=> a real nasty hack). Alternatively, one could

System Requirements

[Bastiaan Welmers]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find the system requirements / advised system
properties
for any release of RedHat Linux? For example, until which version can I install
on
an i386 8MB Ram? Now I'm using 5.2 but it just doesn't work fine, lot's of
programs don't
work with old glibc and kernel versions...
I can see that release 7.3 has a kernel for i386 architecture, but 8.0 no
longer(needs mathematical
co-processor).

However, memory requirements are more important I think

Thanks, Bastiaan Welmers

syslog.conf puts the mail.* logs to /var/log/maillog.  The issue is that
ipop3 uses the same facility.  Somebody else (and I accidently deleted
the message before I replied!) said he checked the source and all the
logging is hard-coded so I'm stuck.

Creating a new Partition for Windows

[Guilherme A. Mendes]

Hi,

I need to install Windows (because of Adobe Photoshop unfortunately) in my
RH 7.3 PC.
I never did it, I just did the inverse, first installed Windows, after
installed Linux.

How can I create a special partition to Windows and so install it without
delete my Linux files?
I need to resize the partition, is it possible ?

Thanks
Guilherme A. Mendes

You need to enable SSL for the virtual host and the computer has to be able to catch calls on port 
443 (the default). The Apache Users List would be best for this question, though.

The directive SSLRequireSSL forbids access unless HTTPS is used for the

You shold use directive 'SSLRequireSSL' in your httpd.conf file among
the configuration directives for the directory with your webpages. 
Also, you cah use that directive in the .htaccess file in the directory
with your
webpages.

It seems log_type does only work for xinetd itself. Looking at the
source code of ipop3d from the imap package, all logging is
hardcoded. :(

ISOs 4 and 5 are source code rpms.  You can safely ignore those for

Minimal install will only need the first CD
Default will only require the first two (don't quote me on that).
Custom will need anything between one and three CDs, depending on
what you chose to install.

The fourth and fifth CDs only contain source. They arn't needed
for installation.

I did that and the file is being created, but the entries are stil
ending up in the maillog.

# default: off
# description: The POP3 service allows remote users to access their mail \
#  using an POP3 client such as Netscape Communicator, mutt, \
#  or fetchmail.
service pop3
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait= no
user= root
server  = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
log_on_success  += HOST DURATION
log_on_failure  += HOST
log_type= FILE /var/log/ipop3
}

Here's a typical sequence of what's in the maillog:
Nov 28 09:55:03 www ipop3d[9502]: pop3 service init from 192.168.0.4

problems setting up NT Mailserver inside linux firewall

[Lisa]

I'm setting up a linux firewall and moving an 
NT Mail server onto a new network  behind this firewall.
The machine where the firewall resides has one 
internal interface and one external interface. Dummy ip addresses are 
used for machines on the LAN inside the firewall.
 
 At the moment, we have just changed the 
mail mx record to correspond to the new network address .
 
In my firewall I have a rule that maps any traffic 
destined for the mail address to the internal mail server dummy ip.
When I email from the mail account to any external mail addresses  and vice versa it 
doesn't work.
 
can anyone help me as I have no idea what to do.

I was having the same problems until I realived that 8.0 builds with gcc
3.2 only.
Now I update the cvs trees and apply my patches for gcc 3.2.
Redhat does have a compatibility rpm for gcc 2.96 (err something like that)
ie. binaries that were compiled with gcc 2.X are able to run on 8.0 but
the building compiles for 3.2.
The long and short, re-work your tree for 3.2 or use another build box (/w
2.9X).

Hi all,

Hmm - perhaps I have. My laptop with rh8 will start thrashing the

I let it go until gnome-terminal died - then I could carry on working

Recovering from a disaster...

[Shaw, Marco]

Going for my RHCE in a few weeks...  Always wondered:

1. Are there any gotchas in a corrupted software RAID filesystem?  For example, 
/dev/md0 is an RAID1 MD device, and either the 1st superblock on /dev/md0 or maybe the 
underlying /dev/sda1 partition is zero'ed out.  How does one go about fixing it?  Will 
a simple fsck here work?  But in the above case, is fsck run against md0 or sda1?

2. If one knows that /dev/md0 is in trouble (composed of /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1), but 
/dev/sda1 is fine, can one, upon boot, simply change LILO/GRUB from trying to mount 
root from /dev/md0 to /dev/sda1?  My guess is no, since the disk label is different.

3. I also wonder about LVM (now with RedHat 8.0)...

A typical scnerario could be LVM sitting on top of MD, and have to recover from some 
kind of disaster.

A co-worker just screwed up a system I suspect was setup with a combination of LVM and 
MD.  I may have too quickly tried mounting /dev/sda2 (root on on disk), and maybe 
should have tried mounting /dev/md0.  After trying to mount /dev/sda2 (with an raid 
autodetect type), I think mount complained about invalid options, so I proceeded to do 
an fsck on /dev/sda2, only to have mention something about the superblock (yes, I 
should write all the errors down), so I tried fsck on something like the
superblock at 32768, and it started up... And ran... And ran.  Result aftewards: all 
/dev/sda2 contains now after an attempt to mount it is "lost+found"!  :(

Re: No Sound

[Ira Childress]

Had a similar situation with a Dell Latitude Notebook.  Sound was(is)
working fine with RH 8.0.18-14, but doesn't work with 18-17 (not sure if
18-18 works or not - haven't gotten around to testing that yet).

Don't know if this is pointing you in the right direction, but it might
be something to keep in mind.

gnome terminal memory leak in 8.0?

[rupert]

Hi all,

If I start up gnome-terminal in redhat 8.0 it gradually
consumes all of my memory and swap space until my
machine is unusable. I can watch it doing this using
'top'. My current solution is to use xterm as my
default terminal.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

Also, out of interest, why is there no redhat 8.0
specific list?

Thanks for any help

Recommendations for RAID configurations

[Søren Neigaard]

I have just got hold on a IBM ServerRAID, and I would like to get
Redhat up and running on it.

As I understand it, I should set the RAID Stripe-size to something
close to the operating system's I/O request size, but I don't know
what that is. Can someone give me a recommendation for this?

My RAID controller supports 8KB, 16KB, 32KB and 64KB.

Any recommendations for RAID arrays, should I make 4 arrays (SWAP, /,
/usr and /temp), or what do you recommend?

What about RAID level, I was thinking RAID-5, but I have been told
that this is not a good idea for the / partition, but I don't know
why?

Wee since this is my first RAID, I hope to hear from you, and get some
good input on this :)

Sound like some kind of firmware update happened.

Have you looked on Yamaha's web site for problems like this?

I think you need to tell update that the packages are already updated
since you did it outside of the tool.  I have not used it but looking at
the docs should help.

Menus

[Ira Childress]

Way too many entries in the menus (GNOME Desktop)! I've looked
everywhere for a way to remove some of the entries and I can't find it. 
I'm sure it is very simple, but it IS NOT right-click delete.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd suggest "log_type = FILE filename" and then rotating that file

Probably you installed the src.rpm files instead of the binary rpms.
A pretty common newbie mistake.

If you disagree, show a session log of how you upgrade the packages
on the command-line:

  $ script 
  Script started, file is typescript
  $ su -
  # rpm -Fvh mozilla*.i386.rpm
  # rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.18-18.8.i686.rpm
  ... (and so on)
  $ exit
  Script done, file is typescript

rh 7.3 gimp incomplete according to gum

[Willem van der Walt<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]

Hi,
My wife is working through the gimp users manual GUM and
Grokking the gimp, another book on gimp.
The gimp programs are installed from the rh-7.3 cds.
The problem is that some of the features discussed in the books are not
available in this installed version.  I at first thought it is only the 
odd
plugin and have downloaded and installed two plugins from the gimp plugin 
page.
I am now starting to think that I might be missing some or other rpm.

If need be, I'll get the source and compile, but  do not want to do the
download for nothing.
Is there perhaps a extra set of plugins that I can get in one file to 
install?
Any ideas?
regards, Willem

Does rpm -qa show them?

The kernel may be installed, check to make sure /boot/grub/grub.conf has
the correct kernel entry for your system.


rpm -qa does not show them.

Connecting to an internal LAN machine running apache from outside the firewall using iptables

[Lisa]

 
 I was wondering if someone could help me with 
the following as I am new to linux:
 
I have a firewall with 1 external  n/w 
card and 1 internal n/w card. 
 
A number of machines on the LAN are on this 
firewall.  I have apache running on one of the machines inside the 
firewall.
I have one other person who dials in from home 
(outside the f/w using dynamic ip)
He wants to be able to connect to the instance 
of apache which running the internal machine.
 
I have tried using DNAT to route any traffic coming 
in from his range of ip address to the internal machine, port 80.
This doesn't seem to work. I have opened up port 80 on the firewall .
 
Eventually I will have to put in a rule that allows 
packets from any external address to be sent to this machine using port 
80.
 
Could some help me with either of these 
problems
 
I'm using redhat 7.2
 
I'd be very greatful

RE: VPN masq

[Cameron . Davidson]

 RH7.3 works out of the box with iptables for a single internal
PPTP client to an external server (MS jargon). But probably not
well for multiple simultaneous connections.

But is is still not clear which protocol is required
or which direction
is initiating the connection from the original poster.
I guess masq implies connections initiated internally.

If you are using PPTP and you are actually paranoid
then you will be dropping forwarded connections by default
and need to accept on your forwarded outgoing chain
  ...  -p tcp -d $PPTP_SERVER --dport 1723 -j ACCEPT
  ...  -p 47 -d $PPTP_SERVER  -j ACCEPT

But IPSEC will be something different.

Me too. I have been puzzled by similar behaviour recently also.
All I did was replace a server that was a P133/64MB (2.2 kernel)
with a P-266/192MB (2.4 kernel) and interactive response
got SLOWER when it was busy.
It seems to be related to the OS gobbling up all spare ram for
cache/buffers (I don't understand the distinction between the two).
I've noticed this, not just on Linux, but on win2k also. NT4 seemed
even worse.
And I suspect win98 was doing the same until
I used Cacheman to constrain it.

Whenever I do a lot of file output all ram gets allocated, then if I
try to start a program, it gets stuck waiting for the stuff to get flushed
before there is even any ram to read the code into.
It feels like the OS decides to empty ram before it reads anything,
but I have no numbers to back this up so it is probably just
the competition for disc access causing inefficiencies.

Cameron.

I hope you mean 255.255.255.0 for the subnet? 255.255.255.255 is for a single
IP address. It'd be blind luck that any machines could talk to each other
if they all had a netmask of 255.255.255.255

Okay, sorry about that. To clarify, I've got 4 computers each is set up with
IP addresses ending in 1, 2, 3 or 4. The subnet is 255.255.255.255. Now, 2,
3 and 4 will ping and rlogin to 1 and 1 can ping/rlogin to 2, 3 and 4. BUT,
2, 3 and 4 won't ping or rlogin to each other. Whenever I try and ping 2, 3

Thanks for the help.

OK, now I'm confused. I've been semi-following this thread and all answers
given to you seem correct. This last P.S. has confused me. OR you are
confused.

SMB has NOTHING to do with IP Networking, and EVERYTHING to do with Windows
networking. I've never used NIS.

Now the real question is: What EXACTLY do you mean 'talk to each other'?

Talking to each other is as simple as using 'ping' to test responses. Are
they at least doing that? If not, anything else you want to do is moot until
that is fixed.

If you want to get peer-to-peer going it's a TOTALLY different story and
doesn't really relate to your original post.

Please post back and clarify clearly what it is exactly you're trying to do.

Internet Explorer is tied to the operating system and therefore is
pretty much already running when you call it - that's why IE starts so
fast on Windows systems.

Star Office is very slow at loading. It's also only at V1.0
I suspect the Star Office coders are fixing functionallity issues more
right now rather than looking at shortening the startup time.

I'm not familiar with Quantra so I can't comment on that.

Mozilla doesn't take anywhere near a minute to load on my system (900
MHz Athlon w/ 128 mb ram)

As far as outlook running "all the time" - I have Evolution started when
I start my XSession (I use WindowMaker) - thus, it too is running "all
the time" - no problems.

Evolution does take a little while to start, though - perhaps because I
use WindowMaker and not gnome (it's a gnome app - and some shared
libraries it uses probably get loaded when gnome starts - but I don't
use gnome).

But I have it set to start in the second workspace, so it doesn't bother
me - but is there whenever I need it.

I'm sorry - I find that a wee bit hard to believe.
I did php/MySQL web devel on a IBM Thinkpad 600 (233 Mobile PII - I
think 160mb ram - might have been 96) and it worked just dandy.

I ran apache on it with mod_php and I ran MySQL on it.
I used Mozilla to view the output of my code and NEdit to write the
actual code.

You can get a .pats file for NEdit that does php syntax highlighting.

Then again - I wasn't using gnome or kde. They took too long to startup.
I used straight up WindowMaker.

You might want to use a lightweight window manager - though with a P4
and your ram - I don't think that's your issue.

Make sure you have DMA enabled - sometimes its not enabled - and it
*really* speeds things up, especially if you swap.

Got news for you - when apache and mysql are idle, not doing anything
(responding to querries) they don't use squat of your ram.

But I'm real curious - what did you do to "reduce the amount of RAM that
mySQL and Apache uses" ??
