newer versions of ssh offer an option called privledge seperation,
which uses a non-root account.

I think this was introduced in openssh 3.2, redhat 7.3 looks to come
with openssh 3.1

this feature can be disabled in the sshd_config, and is infact incompadible
with some PAM configurations.

Intel SR1300 + RAID installation issue

[Teodor Georgiev]

Hi list,

the following situation happens:

   Intel SR1300 server with Promise ATA IDE RAID.
   Intel provides drivers for Redhat up to 7.3. When loading the 7.3 drivers
everything is OK - I can see the hard drive and install on it.


  But with RH 8.0 the story is quite different. Without their drivers there
is a kernel panic right after detecting the hard drive (when the kernel
image of
  the installation CD is loading).

 If I put the drivers - I can not see the hard drive :(((

 Does anyone know a workaround of such a problem ( I have already written to
Intel, waiting for their answer) ?

 I do not want to stuck with 7.3.

or at least... if there is a good way to upgrade 7.3 to 8.0 (bear in mind, I
can NOT just install 7.3 and then put the RH 8.0 CD for an upgrade)?

What I think is about apt-get, but I first have to upgrade the RPM
package...


Waiting desperate for help.

if you installed from rpms then all you should have to do is 

service postgres start

the startup scripts on 7.3 will init the db and every thing if it needs
to be done.  All the config and data will be in /var/lib/pgsql unless
they changed it for 8.0

fwiw sshd runs as root and there is no user sshd on any of my redhat
systems 6.0 6.2 7.1 or 7.3  where did you get the sshd user info?

what version of openssh are you running?

on a 7.3 system:

[bhughes@compaq3 bhughes]$ grep ssh/etc/passwd

If the uid's are valid, that settles my curiosity.  Generally, you can't
add usernames that don't start with an alpha character... such names
break things like quotas (on some systems, at least).

I doubt it.  Tell me... you obviously have portmap running on the NFS
server, do you also have FAM running there?  If so, then FAM on the
clients should use that FAM daemon for its service, rather than polling
the NFS directories.  I don't know if that changes anything.

Also, are you mounting /home to the clients, or automounting their
individual home directories?  What file manager are the clients using? 
Are the clients viewing /home?

I said the "uid" attribute... but only if the queries were for invalid
uid's.  Since they're not, it won't help.  Don't bother.

You don't have a MX record for -- thedomain.com. You do however have an MX

I'd like to use postgres database to run a buletin board called phpBB2.

Re: RH8.0 ip_forwarding bug?????

[Joshua Schmidlkofer]

Shorewall is firewall package.  It provides canned config files to help
you get setup very quickly.  If you are using the iptables stuff that is
stock, I highly recommend that you disable it, and switch to something
with a few more features.

Shorewall is provided on RPM [among other formats], and installs it's
main config to /etc/shorewall. It runs as a 'service' from /etc/init.d. 
It is capable of handling small installations easily, and readily
handles with large installations and more complex needs.


Sorry if I failed to be a good advocate there.

SSHD User?

How do I create a SSHD User? 

I'm trying to fix my openssh on my RH 7.3 box.  It
used to work when I had 7.1, but when I upgraded, it
somehow failed, and I'm working to try and restore it.
 

When trying to start the sshd, I get the following
error: 

'Privilege separation user sshd does not exist' 

I am told that creating the SSHD User, and this is
done only in RedHat will fix this.  Again, how do I do
this?

Partition Check Hangup on Presario 1516US laptop.

[Abrahams Junkmail]

Dear Fellow Linux users:
 
Please help me out of this trouble.  I have a 
presario 1516 and on attempting to load RH8, it hangs at Partioion Check:  
hda:
 
I need linux to do work that pretty much feeds my 
family.  I have tried all sorts of things such as hda=noautotune etc but it 
will not load.  For the past two weeks I have been reading posts over posts 
and no one seems to be responding to my messages.  I have called compaq and 
they will not support it as it is a RedHat issue it seems.  The harddrive 
is partitioned using Partition Magic.  And have 13 Gig.  If I can 
install RH8, it will change my life in this new job that I am in.  Any help 
will be greatly appreciated.  
 
I have seen posts on ide etc but I do not know what 
to do.  My previous employer had give IBM laptop and it rocks.  In the 
new job I have this and I cannot do even 10% of my work with Windoos.  
Please help.
 
Thank you.

  Your issue is most likely you aren't loading the right driver for 
your scsi controller.   Look in /etc/modules.conf there should a 
scsi_hostadapter alias.  Be sure you either include it built into the 
kernel or load it in your initrd.

I did what you suggested and I do have two login screen now. However, 
when I logged in both sessions with my account, the system

1. after one session starts xmms, the other session, when logging in, 
   complains something like dsp is being used. This is not surprising.

2. I can start konsole in one session. When I try to do the same thing 
   from another session, it complains:
 
 There was an error setting up inter-process communication for

Has anyone had success building a custom kernel under RH8..?


  Your issue is most likely you aren't loading the right driver for 
your scsi controller.   Look in /etc/modules.conf there should a 
scsi_hostadapter alias.  Be sure you either include it built into the 
kernel or load it in your initrd.

You need to modify your /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file to create a second 
server. Uncomment (or create) the appropriate lines in the [server] 
section so that it looks like this:

[servers]
0=Standard
1=Standard

and then execute /usr/sbin/gdm-safe-restart. Once you've logged out of
your X session, gdm will restart with the new configuration. This will
create a second X server bound to virtual terminal 8. You can now switch
back and forth between them with CTRL-ALT-F7 and CTRL-ALT-F8.

I use this exact setup on my system at home, and it works quite well.

Red Hat's config file is for Red Hat's kernels. The stock kernel.org kernels 
do not have many of the "options" found in Red Hat kernels, so of course 
you'll get an error.

I'd suggest starting from scratch w/ a new config. Take notes on what was 
enabled in the Red Hat kernel config, but go fresh.

cups print problems (long)

[Bret Hughes]

Background:

Today was the day that I was going to figure out all the printing
related problems relating to a planned print server switch.  the old
server, rh 6.0 with a lot of upgrades does a lot and I am migrating the
serviced off if it slowly to a 7.3 box. 

I figured that it was time to wade into cups and see if I could get it
to work with both the Xerox Phaser 860 color printer and the old
workhorse HP lj 5si. 

after fighting for 3 hours trying to use the ipp protocol to the xerox I
punted and set it up using lp and at least it prints using the Phaser
850 ppd included with rhl 7.3. Now that I have it working as an lpd
based printer maybe I will try the ppd for the 860 that xerox provided. 
I now have cups running and can print to the xerox both locally and
remotely from a rhl 7.2 box running lpd.  I had to create the
/etc/xinet.d/cups-lpd file that runs the cupd lpd service.

the two queues I have set up are xerox860 and hp.

Issues:

1)  HP no worky

I cannot get anything but either blank pages (man man |lpr -dhp) or a
single very thin and faint line (print test page from cups web
interface) on the hp.  It is currently set up as an lpd printer at the
printer's ip address.  I also tried it as a socket/jetdirect printer
with exactly the same results.  The printer is about 75 feet from the
server in another room so testing via parallel is out of the question.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have read all sorts of stuff at linuxprinting .org and cups
documentation but can find no reference to blank pages on a 5si or any
related problem.

2)  Can't get Xerox to use ipp

3) I can't figure out how to use athe xerox suppied ppd file. 
cupsomatic pukes with an error "unable to evaluate datablob" due to the
fact that the ppd file has none of the COMDATA lines in it like the ones
from the cups rpms.  Basically the array used to store all the ppd
options is empty and that is what caues it to puke.



Curiosities:

I am used to printing man pages via command line with 

man whatever |lpr 

under the old spooler to the hp printer.  on the xerox it cuts off the
first couple of characters.  it works ok using 

man -t whatever |lpr.  

I dont understand the difference and can't test the hp right now to
isolate the problem.

I like the fact that cups allows me to control the printer better than
the old lpd spooler but man what a pain in the butt to set up.  I have
not even tried to print from a windows box yet but I suspect samba will
thorw me a curve or two when I get there.

Any tips/docs appreciated.  I managed to get lost in all the
documentation and am having trouble deciding what information applies to
my envisioned.

Thanks in advance,

Bret

It shouldn't matter too much.  The pam library attempts to bind as the
user, so only the LDAP server has to understand the hash.  SSHA should
have been sufficiently secure.

OK, lets say that you boot your server, and as a regular user you have
an X desktop open on display :0

Then hit "CTRL-ALT-F2" and log in as root and type "startx -- :1"
Then wait

If your users Desktop is at "CTRL-ALT-F7" then your root Desktop will be
at "CTRL-ALT-F8"

Poor performance, high disk queue on software RAID partition

[Rechenberg, Andrew]

Sorry for the cross-post, but I wanted to hit all areas which may be a
contributing factor to my issue.

I have a Dell PowerEdge 6600, quad Xeon 1.4GHz, HT enabled, 8GB RAM,
with a PERC3/QC attached to two Dell PowerVault 220S disk SCSI disk
arrays.  The PERC is doing hardware RAID1 across twenty-four 36GB 15K
SCSI disks (12 RAID1 arrays).  Due to limitations with the PERC
firmware, I am running Linux software RAID0 across those 12 RAID1
arrays, effectively creating a RAID10 array.  There is an ext3
filesystem on top of this md device (/dev/md0) in data=ordered mode.
The box is running a standard Red Hat 7.3 installation with updates, and
kernel 2.4.18-17.7.xbigmem

The database system running on this box is IBM (Ardent/Informix)
UniVerse.  The application running on top of UniVerse accesses 25-30
large files (1-1.8GB) on a consistent basis.  All ~400 users, plus any
batch processes, access these files, sometimes simultaneously (poor
application IMO).

Lately we've double the number of records in those database files and
now there seems to be some serious problems with disk I/O.  The system
is hardly swapping at all, but the average disk queue and the average
wait time for I/O are both WAY out of wack.  If I'm reading iostat
correctly some disks are waiting up to 6000ms for I/O!?!?!  There is
nothing in 'top' that shows any process consuming more than about 60% of
one CPU.

Some stats from my box are provided below.  The first iostat is since
the system booted.  The second iostat is a sample from a 'iostat -x 1
10'

Is there any advice from the gurus out there as to where to turn next?
Would FiberChannel HBA's and drives help out any?  Is there any
kernel/filesystem tuning I could perform to help out?  If anyone needs
any information which I have forgotten, please let me know.

Thanks for your help,
Andy.

Would you point me to more detailed info about this? I now know that
Ctrl-Alt-f1 ~ F7 are opened by default and my X:0 is at Ctrl-Alt-F7 but 
I do not know how to open another X-windows. 

Ultimately, when I start my machine, I would like to have 8 ttys opened. 
1-6 text mode, 7-8 X-mode. I can switch between them by C-A-F1 ~ F8 and  
log in from X:0 and X:1 with different user name...

Thanks.

In general this is okay. However if you grab EVERYTHING from noarch, i386, 
i686 (if PPro or higher), and if applicable, athlon, RPM may not be 
appreciative of that, depending on the version.

This only applies if the updates your're applying apply to more than the 
i386 architecture (i.e. openssl, kernel, glibc).

It's also not a good idea to rpm -Fvh a kernel update.

Rather -

rpm -ivh ..rpm (or -Uvh if you're brave like me)

Then rpm -Fvh *.i686.rpm if applicable. You may have to add some of the i386 
dependancies to that line to get that working properly (glibc comes to mind).

Then rpm -Fvh *.rpm.

For day to day updates, however, rpm -Fvh *.rpm works fine.

You need to download and install the latest kernel with ACPI support.

Try "CTRL-ALT-F1" and you can replace the F1 with any F up to 6 for 
text logins.  and F7 is usually your first X-desktop.

If you have X-windows you can always launch multiple X-terms.
You can even have more than one session of X-windows running at a time.
The first one will be on Display 0 (CTRL-ALT-F7)
The next will be on DISPLAY 1 (CTRL-ALT-F8)
and so on.

Screen is usefull if you have a single text based terminal window, or 
if you want to kick of interactive jobs and then disconnect from the
terminal and reconnect to the machine from somewhere else and reconnect
to the interractive session.

You can also do the same thing as screen, but with X-windows using 
vncserver

Again, you have not added an MX record for your domain name "thedomain.com".
You have an MX record for the domain "nsserver.thedomain.com." Which, for an
MX record is treated as a sub-domain, which you have not defined. Plus the
nslookup output does not match the zone definition your showing. Question:

1) Are you sure the zone file you have listed is loading?
2) Do you see any errors when bind starts? Check /var/log/messages

If you are on a local/high speed subnet and are not using your Linux 
workstation for games or multimedia, then a very cheap and easy way 
is with vncserver.

use "up2date -i vncserver"
Then edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers and add a line like:

VNCSERVERS="0:username" 

to the end of it.

chkconfig --list | grep vncserver
modify as appropriate and then run "service vncserver start"

>From windows go download the vncviewer for windows from www.realvnc.org
and install it on your windows box.


If you are looking for a more scalable and robust windowing system
then use X-windows, but you will have to get an X windows client for
windows.  I recommend Exceed, but it is expensive.

Apache server - Documentation not available Must use index.html.eninstead of index.html

[Jean Fleurant (root)]

 I've setup my Apache server and I can get the 'Test Page for the 
Apache Web Server On Red Hat Linux".

In this page, there are links which refers to local pages. For example, 
there is a sentence with a link to the Apache documentation:

The Apache documentation  has been 
included with this distribution. "documentation" refers to 
"/my_server//manual/index.html"

I've looked in the "/var/www/manual" directory and there is no 
index.html but there are "index.html.en" and "index.html.fr" instead. 
I've tried putting "/my_server//manual/index.html.*en*" in my browser 
and I get the Apache documentation but all the links do not work.

I've tried to add .en at the end of each link and they work.

What is my problem ?

Re: LDAP auth passwords

[Aly S.P Dharshi]

Gordon,

I agree, and after a test that the passwd utility does indeed change
the password the only question is that it encodes it as a {CRYPT} and I
want to use MD5 as my hashing scheme, how would one do it unless we had
to write a script that would actually do it that way. The ldappassword
utility does the change in SSHA not my choice of hash scheme.

Lest I re-invent the wheel let me know if there is a better way to do
the above ! Thanks

Cheers,

Aly.

Every GUI app that I've seen in Linux offers a Print to File option that
produces a Postscript file. Postscript can be readily converted to PDF
using the 'ps2pdf' utility that ships with most Linux distros.

Neigaard:

Søren,

One low plum is to edit your /etc/inittab to change your initdefault
to 3 (that is, not to fire up X automatically).  It can be useful to
have X, even on a server, but keep it shutdown except for when you
need it.  That will free up RAM, keep your caches cleaner, and save
CPU cycles.

Speaking of RAM, it is cheap these days, if you are lacking
performance, adding more RAM can frequently help.

*Are* you lacking in performance?  What kind of stuff are you going to
be serving and to whom (LAN or WAN)?

If you have less money, software raid can speed things up too.

Databases love lots of RAM.

I have heard of sites splitting out static pages to a separate (and
more svelte) web server, like boa, and only using Apache for those
pages that actually need Apache's flexibility.

Unless someone is giving you free bandwidth, the hardware it takes to
saturate a given internet connection is usually a lot cheaper than a
few months of paying for that internet connection.  Seriously compute
bount tasks are obvious exceptions to this platitude.

Probably you need to remove the ltmodem RPM, then update the kernel, then
get the correct ltmodem RPM and install it.  You might be able to force
the installation of the kernel with the command-line up2date, but you'll
still need to get the right ltmodem RPM and upgrade that.

That's one thing about up2date.  It can only help resolve dependencies
among Red Hat packages.  If you have third-party packages with
dependencies, you still need to manage them by hand (or use apt-get-rpm).

RE: dns mx missing?

[Larry Brown]

Sorry...the record for mx on the post was mistyped it is corrected to show
what is currently there now.

-

I've got a redhat 7.1 box and the mx record shows up in the dns file for the
domain.  However, the following is what nslookup reveals...

> thedomain.com
Server: thedomain.com
Address:1.1.1.1#53

a-t-m.com
origin = nsserver.thedomain.com.
mail addr = name.thedomain.com.

expire = 604800
minimum = 38400
thedomain.com   nameserver = nsserver.thedomain.com.
Name:   thedomain.com
Address: 1.1.1.1

No mx record shows. This was with nslookup, set type=any, thedomain.com.
Does anyone know why the mx record might not be given?  Just in case, the
following is the dns file contents for this domain...

# cat thedomain.com.hosts

Check what kernel you are running actually: uname -r

I simply cannot believe you. That really boots into the 18.8.0
kernel since there is not other linux kernel entry. However, LILO
must be re-installed each time the config is changed. That means, it
could be possible that you're still booting via a previously
installed boot loader.

Please check whether you really boot from /dev/hda (MBR) and
whether it is really LILO. 

Edit /etc/lilo.conf, change label=linux to something recognizable
like label=tux, then call "lilo -v", reboot and see whether the boot
menu will change to contain "tux".

Re: domain logins+"samba server"

[Joe Polk]

The primary function of Samba is to allow Linux servers and WIndows servers 
to share resoureces. They can do this by either simply being a "member" of a 
domain or a PDC. If they are a PDC, then domain accounts are created for the 
machines that wish to utilize it's resources. These are called trust 
accounts.  Linux machines can also share resources with the Samba server, but 
they don't necessary need Samba to do this. Other services such as SSH, 
Telnet, FTP, NFS and the like allow for interaction with the Linux server. 
However, Linux clients can still use Samba services just like a Windows 
client by using smbclient. Here is a link for Samba as a PDC.

I have about the same problem. It does not only happen with with .wav, but 
also with other sound files like .mp3, .ogg. For example, when clicking on a 
longer mp3 file (eg. a song), it will start out fine but then after a few 
second it will keep repeating some part of the song.

I am not sure what to blame or how to fix it. So any comments are welcome.

Re: How do I increase performance on my Redhat server?

[Ben Russo]

Go for the low-hanging fruit first.

1. Pick hardware that suits your needs...

For example, if you have a LARGE transaction processing database
then your disk seeks and writes are going to be a big issue.
In this case you would do well to invest in a Hardware Raid
controller with battery backed write cache and consider RAID 10.

Or, if your server is a Web Application Server, (a "slashdot"
like server, or ecommerce server)  then your CPU and RAM are
going to make a lot of difference since you can probably keep
most everything cached in RAM and your bottleneck will be CPU
for all the PHP and PERL and APACHE stuff.

If your server is doing file sharing, then your NIC's are all
important and you will want to carefully choose your Network
architecture (switches, NIC's) and pay special attention to your
Layer 0,1,2 setup.



2.  Make sure you have the latest BIOS and firmware installed for all
your hardware. (many a sys-admin I have seen not do this crucial step).
Make sure you have installed all the latest recommended patches and
"errata".  Get on the mailing list for your hardware vendors and
software vendors announcements.

3.  Read all the fine documentation for the services that you are
running. You may find that by turning off "fsync" in a config file or by
turning of reverse-lookups, or adding a "-" in the syslog.conf, or
setting noatime in fstab,  you are making a tradeoff in logging or worst
case scenario disaster preparedness that you can live with, but in
exchange you can get up to a 10 fold increase in performance.

4.  Carefully examine the processes that *YOU* write.  CGI programs, SQL
queries, SCRIPTS are often the bottlenecks in things and often they are
written very well, but are just not doing it the most efficient way.  I
have seen a developer think about what is being acheived and suddenly
rewrite an app and get a 90% reduction in some critical resource usage
like Disk or Network or CPU utilization by changing a couple of
algorithms or the sequence of (if then) statements.

5. Examine Kernel parameters like shared memory segments, bdflush
parrameters, and the priorities of your various processes (you might be
able to "nice" some background processes).

Stripping your box of unnecessary software and removing lots of kernel
module options  may make it boot faster, and may make it more secure in
certain scenarios, and it will definitely save a few MB or GB of disk
space and a few KB of RAM, but in most every case I have seen makes very
little dents in runtime performance.

After you have done these things then you need to consider what your ROI
is for further tweaking.  Often times tweaking to the nth degree causes
scalability and maintainability issues in the future and so it is easier
to think about a scaling methodology that involves bigger or broader
server infrastructure, and that will be cheaper in the long run than
trying to tweak the kernel config.

Problem updating Kernel through up2date

[Mike Palone]

Hi...

I recently upgraded from RH 7.3 to 8.0.  I've been using up2date 
successfully for pulling down updates until I tried to update -u to get 
the following updates:

RHSA-2002:262-07 - New kernel fixes local denial of service issue
RHSA-2002:206-12 - New kernel fixes local security issues

For these, I get the error message:

Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...
There was a package dependency problem. The message was:

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
ltmodem-kv_2.4.7_10-6.00b15-1requires kernel = 2.4.7-10

My kernel is at 2.4.18-14.  I do use the ltmodem, which I had to pull 
the latest source from linmodems.org and build it before my modem would 
work again. Not sure how this affects updating the kernel and why the 
dependency chain is seeing 2.4.7 still. Unclear on where the problem is. 
 Any ideas?  Thanks a lot in advance.

Mike

dns mx missing?

[Larry Brown]

I've got a redhat 7.1 box and the mx record shows up in the dns file for the
domain.  However, the following is what nslookup reveals...

> thedomain.com
Server: thedomain.com
Address:1.1.1.1#53

a-t-m.com
origin = nsserver.thedomain.com.
mail addr = name.thedomain.com.

thedomain.com   nameserver = nsserver.thedomain.com.

No mx record shows. This was with nslookup, set type=any, thedomain.com.
Does anyone know why the mx record might not be given?  Just in case, the
following is the dns file contents for this domain...

Looped sound with plugger

[Javier Gostling]

Hi all,
I installed the plugger package to make plugins work under mozilla, and
found that even though most common file types work as expected, when I
find a page with a .wav file on it, the sound comes in an endless loop.

My main use for sound in web pages is in having a mozilla window lying
in an otherwise unused workspace with my netsaint status page open, so
it will sound an alert when a service goes down. But instead it plays
the sound in the described loop, which, given the nature of the sound it
plays, is most annoying.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I already tried to explicitly give the
noloop option to the netsaint pages, but it didn't help.

Cheers,

Compiling 2.4.18 kernel - missing module-info file?

[Jeff Davis]

Ok, this is making me nuts.  I've compiled from source before, but it's 
been awhile (2.2 kernel, I think).  I'm hoping I've just missed something 
basic, but I haven't been able to find it yet.

I unpack the source (2.4.18), then execute the following:

make xconfig (modular kernel)
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

My box (proliant 1600, currently running 2.2.19) has the smartarray SCSI 
controller, and so needs (as I understand it) the initrd file to be able to 
boot.

Installing from binary RPM is not really an option given all the likely 
failed dependencies...

The kernel compiles without errors, but for some reason there is no 
module-info-2.4.18 file created, or at least I have been unable to find 
it.  grep-ing the source tree shows no "module-info" strings anywhere in 
the code, Makefiles, or Docs.  Likewise "find / -iname "module-info*"  only 
shows those files used by my current kernel, nothing for the 2.4.18 
version.  Usenet and web search have produced queries from other people 
with the same problem, but no solutions, which leads me to believe that the 
solution was so simple that they were embarrassed to post a 
follow-up.  Unfortunately, not simple enough for me to figure out ;)

So, am I missing something obvious?  Do I need to install an additional 
package to make this work?  modutils perhaps?

Thanks,

-Jeff

Sorry, but with a LILO config that contains just a "linux" boot
entry

  image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.8.0
  label=linux
  initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-18.8.0.img
  read-only
  append="hdb=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"
 
I simply cannot believe you. That really boots into the 18.8.0
kernel since there is not other linux kernel entry. However, LILO
must be re-installed each time the config is changed. That means, it
could be possible that you're still booting via a previously
installed boot loader.

Please check whether you really boot from /dev/hda (MBR) and
whether it is really LILO. 

Edit /etc/lilo.conf, change label=linux to something recognizable
like label=tux, then call "lilo -v", reboot and see whether the boot
menu will change to contain "tux".

Not exactly sure. My  connection has been shared with about 4 other neighbours
by a local phone company using homepna. I presume that the phone company uses
some from of DSL somewhere along the line. My nic is made Terton PCI T1M.

Since installing RH I have been using KDE. I just switched to the command line
and was shocked. I downloaded the kernel again and it took 258 seconds 
- although I got one strange message about "eth0: Runt packet"!

Can this really be so. Is it reallly the case that things so down so much if
started from within KDE.

Logwatch stopped working...

[clemens]

Up till a few weeks ago, LOGWATCH produced page+ of output
every day (most of it was complaints from sendmail about SPAM,
but it also listed my connections from 'outside' via SSH).

And then it stopped.

My assumption is/was that this is because I had updated perl/
tk/tcl, and (most likely the new version of tk/tcl was incompatable
with logwatch.

Ive since upgraded the system from RH7.2 to RH7.3, and no change,
I had HOPED that the upgrade would sort things out, but NO [ with
the upgrade ROOT should see the system (old) version of tk/tcl in
/usr/bin rather than the new one in /usr/local/bin, but it still
sees the NEW version of PERL.

DOES ANYONE KNOW what versions of perl/tk/tcl/whatever Logwatch
needs to run?  Id be happy to 'hard wire' them in If I could 
figure out which scripting language was causing the scripts to
fail...

sounds like theres another NFS server running on the system, try
issuing a restart. Did you happen to kill another nfs service before
starting it? killing with -9 a nfs server is very likely to cause
such a problem.

also check netstat -an  for any sockets that are in TIME_WAIT

Debian. I am generally satisfied with my new linux box. However I have
one problem. The speed of my internet connection is very slow or at least
slower than I believe it should be.

The machine had win98 on it when I bought it and I am dual booting.

I downloaded the linux kernel using RH and it took 615 seconds- about  44 
kbytes/sec.
I downloaded the linux kernel using win98 and it took 251 seconds - about 109 
kbytes/sec.
I have another linux box that I recently installed gentoo linux on. Again I downloaded

well, that worksed and assumming that lilo was run previously, you
should be running the new kernel.

what does uname -r report as the kernel version?  If it is not
2.4.18-8.0 then you should try to reboot again. then try uname -r again
to see if it took.

Check what kernel you are running actually: uname -r

See what kernel packages are installed actually: rpm -q kernel

Consider updating your package profile at RHN: up2date -p

Honestly - I'd recommend not turning off iptables.

Rather - run the canned script once, then do the following:

service iptables save

After that - the init.d process will read the saved firewall from
/etc/sysconfig/iptables and load it each time *before* your network
interfaces come up. If you're calling a script from rc.local, chances are
it's being started *after* ETHx is brought up which is leaving your machine
open/vulnerable for a brief time.

Unless the script creates a dynamic firewall each time it runs, there's no
real reason to circumvent Red Hat's tools. They're there for a good reason. :-)

I remember that when I install linux (especially Mandrake), I have a X-frontend 
but I can also view logs, commands with Alt-F2, Alf-F3 etc. What I need 
is similar to that but more. For example, I am constantly at work on my 
linux box but my wife would occasionally check her emails, doing some 
personal stuff on her account. Logging out and in will destroy all our 
applications so I would like to find a way to SWITCH between two live 
logged-in sessions. (If we have another desktop so that she can remotely 
log in to my machine, there will be no such need.)

Seems like the mta could be setup to not send these to mails sent to

FWIW I have found that the info pages on find to be very useful.  Way
more than the man page anyway.  There is an option -daystart that will
calculate the time difference based on the beginning of the day rather
than the actual time the script was run. IIRC -mtime does a *24 hours on

May be more thatn you neeed for this application though.

Accentuated characters going crazy on RedHat8.0

[Bruno Negrao]

Hi all,
I installed my Redhat 8.0 enabling deadkeys " á ç é " etc. I'd like to use
it to write in brazilian portuguese. The default language of my system is
english, but i installed the brazilian portuguese too.

When I log on my redhat8.0 system using my ssh client, if I try to use the
deadkeys(when editing with "vi"), what I got is something like this:

"Vocês estão recebendo a relação de número de contas de e-mails em cada
um de nossos domínios virtuais neste mês.
A relação é: "

A lot of strange characters appears in the place of the desired accentuated
letter!

When I use the ssh client to access a 7.2 or 7.3 system, this problem
doesn't happen. I'm having this same problem in my 2 redhat 8.0 servers. I
noticed that if i login in the redhat 8.0 console, this problem does not
occurs in vi. However, the ç character does not appear in the Open Word (i
forgot the name of the word similar product)

How can I fix it?

Thank you,

FWIW, here's how I do it:

- upgrade rpm
- upgrade glibc
- upgrade openssl
- upgrade kernel
- reboot
- run the command "rpm -Fvh i386/* noarch/*" and solve dependencies
  by hand until everything is updated.

No, none that happens to be straight from redhat.  

Which brings up the question.

There are a few configuration tools I would like to suggest for future
releases.

What is the appropriate mailing list or bugzilla section to do this?

printing PDF

Good Morning,

I am a Linux user and I need to find a way to create PDF documents
easy. Is there a way to output a text document from a program with
some formatting such as compressed print and then convert it to PDF? I
think I once saw something on the list about a printer definition that
produced a file in PDF rather than sending it to a true printer. Maybe
I was dreaming.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: up2date for stand-alone system?

[Will Mc Donald]

Assuming all the current errata are on your CD you should be able to just cd to where 
the errata are and...

# rpm -Fvh *.rpm 

... and this should upgrade/freshen *only* installed packages. There may be one or two 
dependencies that require sorting out by hand but shouldn't be too tricky.

Will.

up2date on a stand-alone machine?

[Ruff Scott M DLVA]

Good day,

I'm building a RH 7.2 system (legacy app requires this version) on a 686
platform and need to add all applicable RPMs.  This system is stand-alone,
thus, it cannot connect to RHN.  I have a CD with all the 7.2 erratta, but
have not found a good method of deciphering what order to install them.  Is
there a way I can run up2date on this stand-alone machine, or does someone
have another method to install RPMs in bulk that might work in this case?

Thanks very much for any/all suggestions.

Scott

up2date for stand-alone system?

[Ruff Scott M DLVA]

Good day,

I'm building a RH 7.2 system (legacy app requires this version) on a 686
platform and need to add all applicable RPMs.  This system is stand-alone,
thus, it cannot connect to RHN.  I have a CD with all the 7.2 erratta, but
have not found a good method of deciphering what order to install them.  Is
there a way I can run up2date on this stand-alone machine, or does someone
have another method to install RPMs in bulk that might work in this case?

Thanks very much for any/all suggestions.

This one frustrated me for about a day.

/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf  - you'll find it plain as day. I had to dig
through the source code to figure out where the directive was coming
from, then finally did a grep -r on /etc until it showed up. 

I'm assuming you already modified your php.ini

HTH,

problems with licq after an up2date

[Martín Marqués]

After I made an up2date (yesterday), upgrading all my system, I can't get
licq to work. In the update where all the qt and kde packages.

Isn't there an update for licq? Shouldn't there be one?

Saludos... :-)

Re: Problem with system time

[Steven G. Taylor]

To set the current time without using ntpd you can do this:


example: ntpdate clock.psu.edu

Then to save that into your bios clock you need to do this:


That will save it to bios so your time will be correct after rebooting.

NFS error, please help

[João Borsoi]

I'm trying to setup te firewall in one of my office's machine and I'm
having a strange error. When I start nfs it says:


Starting NFS services: [  OK  ]
Starting NFS quotas:   [  OK  ]
Starting NFS mountd:   [  OK  ]
Starting NFS daemon: nfssvc: Address already in use
   [FAILED]

I made the same setup on other two machines and got no problems. What
does nfssvc means?

I'm using RH 7.3 in all machines. I've set up hosts.allow, hosts.deny
and exports.I've started portmap and nfslock before starting nfs.

Thanks,
Joao.
