Re: Automatically install complied kernel

[S?en Neigaard]

This guide tells it all:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/ch-custom-kernel.html

As to you question, yes there is. At the end, just do a "make install"
and it will be added to GRUB.

Since Red Hat has announced an effective end-of-life of Dec 31, 2003 for
8.0, they have forced themselves to release early.  If they wait until 6
months after October - which would be March - they've forced all the
customers into a corner.  An OS install of the latest version (8.0 in
March) would only be supported for 9 months.  I realize they want to
sell Advanced Server, but this is IMHO blackmail.  As a business user of
Red Hat Linux, I'm going to have to seriously consider retiring Red Hat
Linux since I can't go without security updates 9 months after an
install.  I've still got mostly 6.2 systems in production and I can't
upgrade all my systems every 6-9 months.  It just is not going to
happen - the manpower simply isn't there.

Automatically install complied kernel

[Roger]

Hi, there

I am running RH8 linux. As I know, if we use LILO as boot loader, we can use
'make zlilo' as the last step during compling the new customized kernel.But,
now I am using GRUB as the boot loader, if there is a new command for
compling kernel to automatially install the new kernel to the proper place
after the new kernel is complied, just like 'make zlilo| bzlilo' command?

Any suggestion will be apprecaited.

xinitrc appears to be an if then script. I am still trying to read it. At least this 
is educational. I am still new to scripting.

The problem appears to be with the default WM (in RH 8.0?) not allowing
more than one desktop at the user level.

Logging on as a second user from the command line and starting VNC
server allows the user connection needed for now.

Several sessions of VNC server may be started as root.

In theory, localhost should always point to 127.0.0.1 - largely for
security reasons.

That means /etc/hosts should read:

127.0.0.1   localhost   localhost.localdomain
192.168.1.1 linux_box

One reason may be that some programs might reslove localhost to
determine which interface to bind to. In some instances, you want the
application to listen on (lo) only to make the service only accessable
locally (i.e. xfont server or perhaps a locally running version of
sendmail or mysql). If you specify in the conf that you want it to
listen on "localhost:6000" for example, you may be opening that port up
to your entire network if localhost resolves to something other than
127.0.0.1.

Another bad case example would be for client services (such as X) which
are supposed to work w/ those services bound to localhost in their
config - if they attempted to resolve localhost and got a real IP vs.
127.0.0.1, they may not be able to properly access a service if said
service was still listening only on 127.0.0.1.

While either/neither/both of these examples may be valid, the
possibility of them occuring does exist.

To touch on the original problem - if your loopback interface (lo) isn't
starting, that's a whole different problem. i.e. if localhost resoved to
127.0.0.1, but the machine wasn't able to "communicate" via that IP..
etc. etc.

Hope that makes some sense.

Re: Red Hat Ver 8

[westiepower]

I have just installed redhat v8 for a dedicated server which is being used
on a IRC network. It is connectd thru a router with 2 other computers which
run only on windows xp. The linux is strictly linux. All 3 connect to the
network fine with out any problems now.

Now my problem is when my server is linked and I log in from out side the
server , the server kickes me out from the irc client in about 3 mins by
dc'n me. the irc client is running on windows  and accessing the linus
server they the host.

Network cards have been chcked and config for the router has been checked
and all appears ok. Some one from the outside that is seperate from my
server can connect and has the same problem also, but not as bad. Its worse
with me. Basically , am unable to stay connected to the server. no error
show up other than what is on the irc client saying " connection reset by
peer".

I think it may be in a config someplace , but not sure where. Any one else
have this problem and if so, what did you do to correct the problem to stay
connected. Oh, but the way, this is running on a dynamic cable line.

Thanks,

Richard

Re: Red Hat 8.1?

I wonder what sort of new features we will see in that release, I figure
that there should be atleast some way in which the menus in Gnome can be
edited and there should be some decent applets ( shows where my
priorities are ) like sound monitor for Gnome. 

I hope that they update the server software such as LDAP to a recent
LDAP version. One example out of many ...

Cheers,

Aly.

General RH releases are on about a 6 month cycle. Since Psyche was out
in October, I expect the next one to be out in early spring 2003.
However, market pressures are what drives the release cycle (although RH
will deny that, I'm sure). So if you see the rest of the distros ramping
up, RH will have to follow. The exception to this is RHAS which is on a 
separate release schedule.

This is a UTF-8 locale issue. Actually, it's an application issue related 
to using a UTF-8 locale.

grep -A 20 "Distribution General Notes" 
/usr/share/doc/redhat-release-8.0/RELEASE-NOTES-i386

Try starting your application as:
LANG=C your_app

For example, man pages display improperly. I've created an alias in 
/etc/bashrc to work around it for now:
alias man='LANG="C" man'

kudzu and /etc/modules.conf question

[Hauser Marcel]

Hi all

I just subscribed to the list and i already have a question :)

ok here we go:

- i have a self compiled 2.4.19 Kernel without an initrd!

when redhat boots.. it starts kudzu... kudzu detects a BusLogic Scsi 
Adapter and configures it by adding:

alias scsi_hostadapter BusLogic

to /etc/modules.conf. so far so good :)

my actual question or problem is as follows:

i try to fdisk a scsi disk which is connected to the BusLogic Scsi 
Adapter by typing:

fdisk /dev/sda

and i get the following error message: unable to open /dev/sda!

isn't the kernel supposed to automatically load the BusLogic module with 
kmod (i compiled the kernel with kmod support !) ??

Could anyone please explain me what i'am doing wrong ?  How is the whole 
procedure supposed to be ?

Thanks for any help !

Marcel

Re: long bootup delay - sendmail and sm-client

[Michael]

Hi Michael,

You are right. It has something to do with the /etc/hosts file.
Apparently, I had only this:
192.168.1.1 linux_box
The alias wasn't declared.
And when I changed it to:
192.168.1.1 linux_box   localhost.localdomain localhost
The delay disappears altogether.
I had to compare this against another linux box that was freshly
installed.
I guess it was trying to resolve "localhost".

Thanks for your help.

Michael

Most likely, the machine can't resolve it's hostname. Do you have an
entry 
in /etc/hosts for it?
Something like:
$ head -2 /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.1 paradox.local   paradox

Real audio on a server

[redhat]

Hi all,

I have some mp3 files that I would like to provide 
as real-audio on a RH 8.0 web server.

What do I need to do that.

Thanks in advance.

named autoupdate question

[Gerry Doris]

I have a win2K laptop from work that I periodically use on my home system.  
I don't want to change any of the settings on the laptop.  It uses dhcp 
and always attempts to autoupdate my name server.

As an experiment I changed the named.conf file to allow updating.  Sure 
enough the win2k pc added reverse mapping ie. ip -> hostname but it didn't 
do the forward mapping ie. hostname -> ip.  

Is there something special that needs to be done to get the forward 
mapping working?

Have a look at the file

~/.xine/config

for

audio.driver:null

and change "null" to what you need. Try "auto" instead - should probe for
oss or alsa I'd expect. Edit this file while you're _not_ running xine,
otherwise it may undo your changes.

If this is what I call a "worthless winmodem" it may be hard to make
it work even if you do have the right driver module for it and for
the kernel version you're using.

However, the site you get it from SHOULD give you some documentation
regarding how to set it up. Unfortunately, there's no generic way
for such things. If the provider doesn't give any documentation then
you may be out of luck unless you run into someone else who's already
won the battle with the same (or similar) modem.

If it is a "real" modem (i.e., a real serial port with a real
modem on the other side of it that works without a bunch of 
software to pretend to be a modem) then there shouldn't be
any need for any drivers at all.

Me, I prefer a real external serial modem. Worth the extra cost,
because they simply work.

I'm not going to claim I know the problem but I did a little probing in google 
for your error message (getfh failed: operation not permitted) and it looks 
like people have come across this a few times before. Nothing I saw was 
definitive, but maybe it will give you some more ideas. So far I've found:

a bug in nfs-utils (upgrade to latest)
a bug in knfds (ditto)

someone did post a patch for knfsd (don't remember the kern version) and 
claimed that it did indedd fix the problem above.
exporting a share that's under an already exported share

and of course, all the things you've gone over already (my first thought was 
also the reverse DNS issue, as that seems to be the most common one)

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=getfh%3A+operation+not+permitted

anyway, hope this helps..

Here strikes one scarcley used aspect of Linux (actually of X11). As
proven by the Linux Terminal Server Project, you can have diskless
clients processing their workload in a central server. Such a server
would most likely make good use of RHAS' optimizations.

But the comparison is not against windows itself, but rather with WinXP
server running Terminal Services with the Citrix Metaframe addon. I will
have some hard numbers on the subject by the end of January, since I'm
writing my degree thesis on the subject.

Hey,


A quick easy fix would be to make their shell

/sbin/nologin

Not sure if thats on RH7.3 it should be though
otherwise you get the idea (give them a shell that is
not a shell)  

Now, I could think of a few ways as a user to get chsh
to run for me.  But, this is only a quicky to deny
access...


Otherwise look at the ssh config, only let one user ssh in
and dont run any other login services.  (rlogin telnet)

not 100% sure what your asking, but you can seperate the samba password
file and the local unix password file and tell them not to sync to each
other, thereby having user accounts only able to authenticate with samba.
since they wouldn't have accounts on the unix password file they would
not have access to any other services.

see the documentation for smbpasswd for details on how to this. It's been
a while since I seriously used samba.

But, yes it is possible if I understand your question.

When configured as "IMPS/2" or "ExplorerPS/2", the mouse makes

Can anyone help ?

put the domain wildcard back in, this one server stops being able to

Re: Space

[Manuel Camacho]

Hi!

My option would be to format the whole hard disk, because as I know Linux 
a little bit more everytime, I can think better about what partition 
strategy to use and what to and not to install. Of course, it depends of 
what you like. You may even just fdisk and ext2fs that partition, and use 
it for backup purposes (with an script such as the one of Bash 
programming howto). Or you may  even try another Linux version on that 
partition. But, as I wrote before, my option would be a complete fresh 
install.

Best regards,

-Manuel.

depends on how much stuff you have to restore on your linux box and 
how the drive is partitioned.

keep in mind that you can delete the windows partition and divide it
into partitions that can be uses on the linux side for instance if you
are running out of space on home you can create a monster home partition
and us that freeing the spce for other dirs on the same partition 

why dont you post the output of fdisk -l and mount so we can see how the
drive is set up now.

I thought that it was interesting too.  My guess is that there was a
marketing decision made to try and drive those folks that are server
based ( a guess that these are the folks who abhor upgrading machines)
to redhat advanced server since that is the long life cycle product. 
This is bound to reduce costs big time.  I guess they sort of like being
profitable.

Sort of a bummer since we use the distro for non server based tasks but
require considerable testing before rolling out a config.  I would think
that this will slow down the acceptance of RHL on the corporate desktop
as well for the same reason. Maybe there will be a corporate desktop
release to handle this, but not availible in binary unless you pay for
it.

Interesting times indeed.  As people (read corporations ) begin to
evaluate linux side by side with windows I wonder where the priceing has
to be before windows looks better.  Significant differences still exist
of course but thre eis a considerable difference between free and what
ever windows xp costs.

RE: NFS mountd : Someone whack me over the head please

[Matthews, John]

What does your /etc/exports file look like?  It's possible you are not
allowing client_2 access to your NFS share.


I've encountered problems with NFS time outs during boot up when the NFS
server fails to properly do a reverse name lookup.

Okay, I have a mistery on my hands and I've stared at this for a few
hours now without being able to solve it.  I have three machines, two of
them (we'll call them client_1 and client_2) are sitting on the same subnet,
and the third one (we'll call it nfs_server) which is sitting on a different
subnet.

client_1 can NFS mount stuff from the nfs_server without a problem.
However, client_2 can not, it's getting a 'Permission Denied' message.  Both
machines are setup identical except for their IP (obviously).  The
nfs_server is aware of both systems and can talk to them just fine.  So then
why can't I NFS mount anything?  I'm sure it's a stupid little setting I'm
overlooking somewhere, but dang it, I can't figure it out and it's driving
me bonkers.

On the client I'm getting this:

# mount -t nfs src:/mnt/src /usr/local/src
mount: src:/mnt/src failed, reason given by server: Permission
denied

On the server, I get this in the system log:
fargo rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from
client_2.domain.com:860 for /usr/local/src (/usr/local/src)  
fargo rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted  

What am I missing?

No need to download it. No need to go to rpmfind.net.

The package is on your install CDs.

Alternatively, run "up2date php-mysql" to fetch it from Red Hat

This will start to get really interesting with Red Hat's significantly
shortened end-of-life announcements.  It won't be long before vendors
like Promise can no longer say they support Red Hat Linux if the version
they support is no longer supported by Red Hat.  8.0 will be

RE: benefits of a Xeon?

[Matthews, John]

Kernel 2.4.19 seems to behave nicely with hyperthreading.  If you
use a kernel prior to 2.4.18 you will most likely encounter many problems.
We ran into a lot of problems at my company during the summer when we
received our first xeon server.  Kernel 2.4.16 was unusable with
hyperthreading enabled.  It would often lock up and yielded horrible, almost
unusable performance.

intel seems to think Linux still needs optimizing for Hyper-Threading.
(see http://www.intel.com/support/platform/ht/os.htm)  If this is so it
would be interesting to see a fully optimized Linux vs one that isn't.

Anecdotal note:  where I work we have a dual Xeon system that would not
behave until Hyper-Threading support was disabled.  HT is not necessarily
the root of the problem, mind you.  Disabling it got the system stable, 
though,
and right now nobody has spare cycles to poke at the system extensively.

It sounds much as if you didn't install the php-mysql package. It would
activate extension=mysql.so in the php.ini file via a post-install script.

the basic KDE GUI displayed. If *any* other window (console, konqueror, 
kword, etc) is open, the screensaver attempts to kick in--disk activity, then 
digital clock in the panel no longer updates--but the screen saver doesn't do 
its thing. Any keypress or mouse movement repaints the screen and the panel 
clock then updates normally.

In order to get the screensaver to display even without any windows open, I 
added these lines to ./kde/share/config/kdesktoprc under [ScreenSaver]:

Enable=true
Lock=false
Priority=8

Looks to me like there is some other configuration problem that's preventing 
the screensaver from fully working, but I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Is PHP compiled with the option to include mysql?
The configure command should be:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
if your compiling PHP from source.

I've got a nice tutorial on how to set this, if you want it mail me
off-list and I'll send it to you...

RH8 provides the "alternatives" system to switch between them. You can 
actually have both installed at the same time and select between them at 
will.

Postfix is silly/simple to configure. There is a somewhat dated howto 
for RH/postfix which I wrote a few years ago at:

http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/mail_news/mail.html

The postfix docs at http://www.postfix.org/docs.html are quite good.

I also run a mailing list called mailhelp which has years of archives 
available. Archives and subscription instructions are at:

http://moongroup.com/mailman/listinfo/mailhelp

There is a FAQ for the mailhelp list here (contains a lot of postfix 
info):

Re: Newbie: ppc/zaurus/palm <-- what would the best handheld PC?

[Carey F. Cox]

Geoffrey:

I have a Zaurus 5500 and I love it. It's a great pda. The Zaurus 
comes with a multitude of apps including a word processor, spreadsheet, 
and the usual pim tools. However, I would recommend purchasing pim apps from 
http://www.thekompany.com as they are much better than those that come 
with the Zaurus. There are also a lot of third-party apps, both free and

A good source for answers to a lot of your questions is 

http://www.zauruszone.com/

Go to the forums section and do a search for topics related to your questions.
The zaurus is one nice, compact and complete little package. You have a

and serial port. I heartily recommend it to all, especially those of us who

Processes dieing on me

[Poulson, Shawn]

Hello list,

I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem for a week now.  I have a row of Compaq 
Proliant 5500 servers all running Red Hat 6.2.  The install is basically 
out-of-the-box.

Background:
I build SAP R/3 servers on Linux using a home-grown perl script that uncompresses data 
files from *.csar files.  These files total >4G in size.  csar = another home-grown 
archive util, like zip.  The csar utility is not the problem; it has been in use for 
years on RH6.2 with these files and has not ever been updated.  Also, the refresh 
utility is also not a problem because it, too, has been in use for years.

Things that fail:
- FTP of the csar files from either NT or RH6.2 based servers using the basic ftp 
command line client.  It eventually stops with 'Killed' and returns to the command 
shell.

- Copy all csar files local to, say, /compress.  I run the refresh utility and have it 
uncomrpess from /compress.  It runs great, until about an hour into the uncompression, 
it dies with 'Killed'.

Things that work:
- I managed to get the csar files onto the server using smbclient and grabbing from an 
NT server's share.  Why it worked when multiple attempts at FTP failed?  I don't know.

This doesn't seem to be a network issue due to processes dieing.  I tried taking all 
entries out of /root/.rhosts to make sure something wasn't going in to do this.  cron 
is also empty.

This is a severe problem for me because these servers need to work very soon so they 
can be rolled into production.  I was hoping someone had some ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Looking for good PHP and MySQL installation guide for Red Hat 8.0

[Michael Pelley]

Hi All!

This is a slightly lame question, but I'm having all types of problems
getting MySQL to work with PHP on my Red Hat 8.0 box.  I'm installing
Apache/PHP/MySQL after the initial install.  While I ***think*** I've
gotten all the dependencies straightened out, PHP won't find the MySQL
directives.  I've added the extension=mysql.so to php.ini, but in
checking, there isn't a mysql.so anywhere.  I've tried de-installing and
then re-installing both MySQL and PHP but it doesn't seem to work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Cheers & Season's Greetings!

Mike

Can't mount SD card in Dazzle 6-in-1 USB card reader

[David Kramer]

If I put in a CompactFlash card, I can mount it as /dev/sda1

If I put in a SecureDigital card, it says:
[root@uni mnt]# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sd
mount: No medium found

fdisk cannot print the partition table either.

I tried two different SD cards, one is the normal vfat, the other is a 256MB 
Lexar formatted as ext2.

If it matters, the card is used in my just-arrived Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 
Linux-based PDA.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Cannot Mount Thumbdrive and Zip250 at the sametime

[Francisco Antonio Diaz Lopez]

Have you look at the /var/log/messages file when you plug or unplug the 
devices?

When I plug a USB device I always look at the message file like that:

#tail -f /var/log/messages &

In that way, the USB subsystem will tell me the file on /dev that the system 
use for that device, of course if the USB subsystem recognize it. 

Hope that help you.

This should work. Check that the partition on the zip drive is
really sda4 by running the command "fdisk -l /dev/sda" .

This won't work. For one thing, the sd?? devices indicates scsi
drives. For another /dev/sda is not a partition but a disk.
You will not be able to mount it.

Be sure that after compiling/installing alsa, you run the snddevices
script that comes with alsa.

Do a 'modprobe snd-via8xxx' and then run alsactl (alsa mutes everything
by default).

You cannot mount a drive: you must mount a partition.
So this has to be something like:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/thumbdrive

depending on how the drive was partitioned.

Take a look in /usr/lib/mozilla-/plugins.  There should be some
.so files.  These are the plugins and everything in this directory is
loaded when mozilla starts.

You could stick this in the /etc/sysctl.conf which is a RH-specific
config placeholder:

# Up the conntrack limit
net.ipv4.ip_conntrack_max = 16384

and then:

/sbin/sysctl -p

to read in the new config.

ahh, figured it out.  gotta edit nsswitch.conf...=)  cool, i'm finally done, 
thanks for all the help, Ashley.
 

   I'm glad you figured it out.  Sorry, I crashed last night which is 
why you didn't get responses from me.  You're right though, ypinit is in 
the ypserv package, even though you need it on the client machine as 
well - this forced me to install the ypserv package on all clients - 
quite annoying.  Whoever packed this up didn't think about /usr/lib/yp 
being something that the client needs, NOT the server.  The server only 
uses /var/yp.  Oh well...

   As for securenets, true, if it doesn't exist, you're opening 
yourself up for the whole world to access your files - which is why it's 
suggested you have it.  And you need at least ypxfrd running on the 
server so that the client can transfer modified files over.  Note that 
on my stock yp installation on my 7.3, the files in 
/var/yp/ were never refreshed when I added/removed users. 
I ended up adding  crontab that ran 'make -C /var/yp' every so often, 
coupled with the client machine running ypxfrd (from the scripts in 
/usr/lib/yp) to keep everything in sync.  That's another thing the 
ypclient package is missing, the crontabs that are in /usr/lib/yp - they 
don't get installed till you install the ypserv package, yet you need 
them on the client.

Re: Configuring modem

Hello:

I just downloaded a modem driver package from 
http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/ and ran it in Linux, but my modem still 
isn't detected, nor can I figure out how to get it to "work"

I'm new to Linux, so any tips would be great?


What kind of modem is it?
The software modems ("winmodems") aren't well supported
under Linux because the manufacturers won't release enough
information about the chipset to allow a driver to be built.
Can you interrogate it with Windows?

Redhat 8 terminfo problems?

[Ben Logan]

Hello, everyone.

I've just installed Redhat 8.0, and I'm having a pretty annoying
problem with my console-based apps.  I'm not sure if it is a terminfo
problem, and ncurses problem, or what.

The problem is that the characters used to draw frames (lines, boxes,
etc) are all messed up.  The colors are also different.  E.g., I have
a ANSI sequences in my prompt to color it, and it was very visible
under Redhat 7.1, but under 8.0, I can hardly see it.  The "links" web
browser and "centericq" are two other apps that won't display properly
anymore.  I messed with the terminal options in links, but nothing
will work correctly anymore.

In an attempt to fix the problem, I copied /etc/termcap from my Redhat
7.1 box and used it in place of the rh 8 one, but it didn't help.

Anyone else having similar problems, or know of a solution?  I've
searched the web and newsgroups, but haven't found anything.

Many thanks,
Ben

RE: Cannot Mount Thumbdrive and Zip250 at the sametime

[Chad Skinner]

I don't know anything about these devices, but they are devices. Mounting by
themselves they would appear as sda, but when trying to mount both would one
not be assigned as sdb?
