Use gdmconfig or edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf to add a second X server. On
some boxen, you may have to manually specify a specific VT for each X
server, but usually just defining the second server is enough.

boot to the first disk with 'linux rescue'.

Once it mounts your volumes hit Alt + F2.


type in:

chroot /mnt/sysimage

type 'bash -login'

type 'grub'

then: {If you boot off of /dev/hda1}

grub> root (hd0,0)

grub> setup (hd0)



Note:

Partition numbers in grub start at 0, instead of 1.

You can have two default routes, with the linux Policy routing - ship;s
stock w/ almost all distro's, and works pretty damn effectivly. 


http://lartc.org/howto/

http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html


You will have to use policy routing, and it is not a simple matter of
setting static routes.   I have the Multiple Provider example because I
have two DSAL providers, and I have policy routing enabled to allow
connections from either, and the connections [of course] must remain on
the circuit/ip that the connection arrives on.

  Make sure that the glibc-common rpm version number matches the
version number for the glibc rpm package. If you have applied any
Errata Updates for 7.3, the glibc-common rpm package from the cd may
no longer be exactly compatible with your existing glibc package. You
can check each with:

   rpm -q glibc
   rpm -q glibc-common

The version numbers should match.
  Once your /usr/share/zoneinfo files are fixed, try running:

setup

and selecting the proper timezone through that utility.

 Regards,

   Tom

Problems with SSH Forwarding

2003-01-20 Thread Kevin Breit

Hey,
I'm trying to do SSH forwarding into work.  This worked earlier today,
which is why I am perplexed.  I have:

ssh -f -P -N -L 1234:irc.company.com:6667 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I run that, I get:

bind: Cannot assign requested address

Could not request local forwarding.

after I enter my password for the remote box.  I am pretty sure nothing

samba and dhcp

2003-01-20 Thread Hidong Kim

Hi,

Can a machine getting its IP address by DHCP run as a Samba server? 
I've set up several Red Hat machines as Samba servers.  They all have 
static IP addresses.  I want to have a Red Hat 8.0 laptop which gets its 
IP address by DHCP running as a Samba server.  I usually start Samba 
with "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start".  When I do this on the laptop, it 
says that smb and nmb start OK.  But when I do "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb 
status" on the laptop, it says that smbd is stopped and nmbd is running. 
 When I do "smbclient -L localhost" on the laptop, it says that 
connection is refused to 127.0.0.1.  Thanks for any suggestions,

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions, reinstalling glibc-common with rpm -Uvh

For a while...

At first the clock in the panel didn't change, but I started to write an
e-mail the hour was increased by one. So instead of 2:20 AM it was 3:20
AM.  (Yes I know I should get some sleep)

So I started dateconfig and corrected the time. Only the dialog box
closed after pressing apply (not ok).
I logged out og Gnme and logged back in, only to find that according to
the panel-clockand date that it was 1 AM.  So I started dateconfig from
the command line and I noticed something strange: shutting down the 
ntpd failed.

Now the /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels file is corrupted again...

So there has to be something else wrong as well...

Any suggestions?

(I'll try whatever you might suggest tomorrow morning, I really need to

RH 8.0 not using NIS for /etc/aliases

2003-01-20 Thread Red Hat

Title: Message

I cannot for the
life of me get Red Hat 8.0 to use NIS for alias resolution. Our master NIS
server is Solaris 8. The aliases are defined there and work from all solaris
clients. When I try to send mail to an alias on the RH8.0 machine, it says user
unknown.
Here is the aliases
definition on the NIS master:
weblogic_team:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here is
/etc/nsswitch.conf on the RH 8.0 client:
aliases: files
nis
I rebuilt the
aliases database on the RH 8.0 client (/usr/lib/sendmail -bi) I am not sure if
this is necessary (it is not on the solaris clients)
I have restarted
ypbind several times. ypbind is working, I can su to users only defined in
NIS.
Is anyone using NIS
for alias resolution?

When using rpm to install or remove packages you need to

Most definately true, however, I do have an old Seagate 1.2Gb here which is

You're welcome.  I've seen the question on several other lists also.
1.  It could probably be added to /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile.  I didn't
use those files because I only have a couple of users on the machine.

2. My guess is it would have to be brought to Redhat's attention.  I
haven't told them and I don't know if anybody else has either.

Thank you.  In my case locale (unsurprisingly) produced "en_GB.UTF8".
$LANG
was exactly the same (including the .UTF8) and $LC_ALL was undefined.  I
set
them both to en_GB via .bashrc and this seems to fix the problem (in
fact
just setting $LC_ALL to en_GB sorted it, although en_GB.UTF8 didn't
work)..

2 further questions:

- How can I get these environment variables set correctly for all users
without having to alter every .bashrc?

- Since I've done a pretty vanilla build and others obviously have the
same
problem, is there a fix needed to something, and if so who needs to
know?

At the prompt type "locale".  Odds are there is a .UTF8 at the end of
whatever will be displayed.  Take everything before the .UTF8 and add
the following to you .bashrc file.
If "locale" produced "en_US.UTF8", then add "en_US"

export LANG=en_US
export LC_ALL=en_US

Logout and log back in, it should fix it.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/18/03 08:15 AM >>>
   

I've installed Red Hat Linux 8 on a Compaq PC from scratch.  I use the
KDE
desktop (I haven't got Gnome installed at all), and I've selected the
Windows Look and Feel using the desktop

My problem is that most Man pages (e.g. man iptables) don't display
properly
in a terminal window.  Hyphens and possibly other characters display as
empty squares.  This also happens if I run a terminal window using PuTTY
via
SSL from a Windows client over the network.  It doesn't happen with a
non-graphical interface at RunLevel 3, and it didn't happen at all
before I
upgraded from RHL 7.2 to 8.0.

I've applied all the available patches using Up2date, and the problem is
still there.  I've also seen it on a completely separate system
elsewhere,
again with RHL 8 on a PC server with a network terminal session from a
Windows PC running PuTTY.  I don't know what desktop was in use on that
server.

This seems a fairly basic problem, annoying rather than critical, but of
course you never know what it may conceal.  Any solutions?

When it is documented in the Release Notes, and the question
is still prepeatedly asked and answered through the archives
on this list on about a 5 day cycle, why should anyone repeat

You're awesome man!!  I hadn't thought to look there.  Extra lines
included:
USERCTL=no

NETWORK=(the network I had manually configured but later set back to
dhcp)
BROADCAST=(the broadcast address for that network)

I removed all of these lines, as they weren't there after initial

look in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth? (? is the interface #)
for a PEERDNS=no setting if it is there comment it out or remove it and
you should be good to go.  That is the only thing that comes to mind

The usability of the software in Rawhide varies greatly.
It will range from quite stable (just before a new distribution is
released) to uncompilable (just after the release of a new gcc,
gnome, kde and/or glibc).

> So we should avoid software from this "Rawhide" category?

Unless you like living on the edge or you really, really need
the latest version of a particular package, it's probably
best to avoid using these.

In any case, Red Hat doesn't support them. If it breaks, you
get to keep both pieces.

i have this problem also, using redhat-8.0 and kde-3.1-rc6 compiled from

I have decided to go with shorewallon a box I will be putting up tonight

third interface and have multiple vpns to manage as well.

I have mad it through the doc and think I understand it but I guess we

A couple of things to consider.  does your dhcp server sit on both
lans?  if not your router will need to be configured to pass the bootp
stuff or what ever it is called.  seems like there is a program that
will do that as well, yep look at man dhcrelay.

The man pages are pretty good as is the treeware dhcp book I bought to
both support the project and to get a definitve reference.

My concern is that this machine is an NIS and Samba

I'd consider buying new disk(s) and do the fresh install on them. Then

I'll run through the steps/components at a very high level:

1.  Configure fetchmail to pull your mail from as many accounts as you
want and dump it to a local mbox account.  For example, I am pulling
hotmail, my work account, and my ISP account and dropping them all into
my local user account.  Make sure you start fetchmail with every reboot
by adding an entry to /etc/rc.local.

2.  Install Evolution and point it at the local mbox account.

3.  Install the apache webserver with SSL support (RPM or tar ball).

4.  Install the SquirrelMail RPMs.

5.  Edit /etc/xinetd.d/imap.  Change to "disable = no".  Run "service
xinetd restart".

This will allow you to do everything you want, but you do have to
remember to close Evolution before you leave the house.  Otherwise, it
will continue to pull the mail out of the mbox account and hide it in
its own files.

Additionally, if you have you own static IP and registered domain, you
can easily activate ipop3 and create your own e-mail addresses (i.e.
user.domain).

There are tons of good documents at www.tldp.org that will help, but
none of them are going to give you step by step.  Just let me know which
pieces you would like assistance with and I'll help.

As with everything PC related, there are multiple ways to accomplish
similar things, so if anyone knows a better way, please share.

I hope this helps,

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Currently I pull e-mail in from my ISP's POP3 server and put it into an
mbox folder on my computer so that I can read it from either Evolution
or Mutt.

The next thing I'd like to do is set up an IMAP server on my computer so
that I can...

1.  Pull mail in from my ISP's POP3 server as before;

2.  Read my mail with Mutt when logging into my computer remotely
with an SSH client;

3.  Read my mail with Evolution when I'm sitting at my computer; and

4.  Install Squirrel Mail onto my computer so I can read my mail
via Mozilla (or *gasp* IE) when I'm at a remote computer that
I can't SSH from.

I know this is possible, for all things are possible with Linux.  But
how can I get started?  I've read the RH documentation but it seems a
bit thin on getting started with this sort of thing.

Re: kmail in rh8

2003-01-20 Thread John McCain

I have identified and rectified my stupid.

I thought I had installed the full KDE package when I installed Rh, but
I found that this is not so.  As a result of installing something in the
past, I had a mishmash of pieces of KDE, but not enough back end pieces
to run kaddressbook.  I reinstalled kmail and kde-base and chased down
the dependencies by hand.

Got it fixed now.  Thanks.

This was indeed the issue.  During the MailCanner install I was prompted
that ExtUtils::Makemaker needed upgrading. so I ran the
upgrade_makemaker.sh script and the MailScanner install proceeded just
fine.  

After the dinking with the SpamAssassin install I went back and forced
an upgrade to the redhat perl rpm since that is where makemaker lives. 
After that, the spamassassin src rpm built just fine.

 I emailed Julian (MailScanner author) and he said that getting these
paths right is one of the reasons for the Makemaker upgrade. He also
indicated that no one else has had these problems on 7.3 that he has
heard of.I told him I would let him know if I found out what happened.

Has anyone else experienced probelms with rebuilding src rpms after the
MailScanner install?  

Has anyone else been prompted to upgrade the ExtUtils perl module?

Definetly some funky stuff and if I can save someone elese from having
these same problems by helping Julian get it right, I would like to.

Any tips appreciated.

man screen

It allows you to run a process and jump in and out of it at will. It
gives you the command prompt back to run something else without
interrupting the first one. You can start one remotely and jump into it
locally. Or vice versa.

RH8 and Routing

When I enter 'route -n' , will the result of that be representative of what I 
find in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0?? Or at least should any 
route statements found in that file be in the ' route-n ' query??

If so, that is not what is happening here.

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling

In an effort to improve communications with the development community,
enable Linux users to test bleeding-edge technology, speed development,
and improve the quality of future Red Hat Linux releases (as well as to
end world hunger and eliminate human conflict), Red Hat will be 
releasing
development versions of the Red Hat Linux Operating System on a regular

Dubbed "Raw Hide," the releases will have version numbers independent of
Red Hat Linux's version. Raw Hide 1.0 will appear on ftp.redhat.com on

RE: DNS Problem! I think?










I’d say you probably don’t
have dns servers configured.  Are you getting your ip
via dhcp? 
Take a look at your /etc/resolv.conf, this is where name server information is kept. Is there
anything in this file?

 

When you say you cannot ping computers on
the web, are you trying to ping via dns name or IP?  Meaning if you can’t ping www.yahoo.com, can you ping 66.218.71.89?  If you can’t ping the IP address,
there may be another problem lurking.

 

As far as the delay you experience when ssh’ing into machines that you have name resolution
via /etc/hosts, take a look at /etc/nsswitch.conf.  My guess would be on the line that
begins with “hosts” (for example my line reads “hosts:  files   nisplus  dns) dns or nisplus is probably listed
before files.  And you may be trying
to reach a dns server that doesn’t respond
before it times out and references /etc/hosts.

Subject: DNS Problem! I think?

 

I have a laptop, Dell Inspiron 8000.  I've
purchased two HDs for it.  Like all laptops I only have one HD in the
laptop at a time.  I 
originally installed RH7.3 on one of these HDs and everything works fine. 
Well, I had the need to install RH7.3 on the second HD. 
Upon completing the install, I checked my networking and received the following
results. 
  

·
I can ping anyone by IP
number.  This includes computers on my home network as well as on the
Web.  The response time is normal and correct.

·
I can ping computers on my home
network by name and the lookup is from the 'hosts' file.

·
I cannot ping computers on the Web
from this machine.  The ping times out and I receive a message stating the
web address was not reachable.

·
Also, when I try to ssh into other
machines on my home network by hostname there is a large delay time.  When
I conduct an ssh by IP number the delay disappears.


Since I had an identical working install of RH7.3 working.  I begin 
swapping the network configuration files from the working 
version to the nonworking version.  These files include  /etc/hosts, 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/resolv.conf.  To 
no avail, I still have the same problem.  Does anyone have a clue? 

Since the original install of RH7.3 I increased the
amount of memory in the Inspiron from two 128MB bars to two 256MB bars. 

This one has me stumped.  Any help will be
appreciated.

Re: Making IMAP happen

2003-01-20 Thread Scott Harrison

You likely need to recompile mutt with more options,
e.g. ./configure --prefix /usr/local/mutt --enable-pop --enable-imap

Then, the command would be:
/usr/local/mutt/bin/mutt -f imap://IMAPSERVERHOSTNAME

In my ~/.muttrc, I find myself doing:
set imap_user YOURUSERNAMEONYOURIMAPACCOUNT

Note that I have not been able to get RedHat's stock mutt RPMs to do imap.

Spend some time examining the rpmdb-redhat package and the
corresponding rpm option aliases --redhatprovides and --redhatrequires.
Additionally, you can define your own aliases which access the
separate RPM database via the --dbpath option.

  $ rpm --redhatprovides /usr/include/time.h
  glibc-devel-2.2.5-42

Fw: Garbled Man Pages in Red Hat Linux 8

2003-01-20 Thread David & Kate Baird

Here's the answer to my original question, which raises 
a couple of other issues - what's the most elegant workaround,
and should there be a fix?

Does anybody from RedHat read this list?

I think that the 700*10448580 is closer to the actual thing because they 
say that with "overburn" a CDr will hold approximately 720 MB worth of 
data.  The multiplication comes closer to that.

/etc/localtime is a symling to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels  but
that file is empty!:
[M8ram@localhost M8ram]$ ls -lh /etc/localtime

[M8ram@localhost M8ram]$ 

I guess that's not the way it is supposed to be?
Brussels is the only file in /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe that has 0 as
file size!

Apparently trying to cat one of those files is bad idea! My xterm got
completely messed up!

Any suggestions on getting my timezone file restored?

2003-01-20 Thread Art Ross



I have a laptop, Dell Inspiron 8000.  I've purchased two HDs for it. 
Like all laptops I only have one HD in the laptop at a time.  I
originally installed RH7.3 on one of these HDs and everything works
fine.  Well, I had the need to install RH7.3 on the second HD.
Upon completing the install, I checked my networking and received the
following results.
 


I can ping anyone by IP number.  This includes computers on my home
network as well as on the Web.  The response time is normal and correct.


I can ping computers on my home network by name and the lookup is from
the 'hosts' file.


I cannot ping computers on the Web from this machine.  The ping times
out and I receive a message stating the web address was not reachable.


Also, when I try to ssh into other machines on my home network by hostname
there is a large delay time.  When I conduct an ssh by IP number the
delay disappears.


Since I had an identical working install of RH7.3 working. 
I begin
swapping the network configuration files from the working
version to the nonworking version.  These files include 
/etc/hosts,
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/resolv.conf. 
To
no avail, I still have the same problem.  Does anyone have a clue?
Since the original install of RH7.3 I increased the amount of memory
in the Inspiron from two 128MB bars to two 256MB bars.
This one has me stumped.  Any help will be appreciated.

Jason,

I am doing this right now.

What I have is a qmail email server that accepts all messages. Scans them
for spam using spamassassin/razor and then forwards them to my exchange
server which has a virus scanning system on it. This was very easy to do and
setup.

The main resources I used were www.lifewithqmail.org this is to do the basic
setup of qmail. Then I used
http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/webmail-server.htm as another
resource to fill in the holes for the qmail setup and the plugin for
spamassassian.

I am working on my own documentation on how to get this done. Once I have
something I will let you know.

Thanks,
Mark

That's the way I also wanted to go - Mandrake -> Redhat.  Although I

with Redhat and are there apt "databases" out there for Redhat?

As all the urpmi tools, urpmf only uses the urpmi database and thus also

Has Anyone Seen This?

2003-01-20 Thread Rigler, S C (Steve)

At my company we are in the process of deploying some Linux workstations
to replace some SGI machines.  The majority of these machines will be on
ATM (using Fore PCA & HE cards), and for the longest time I was believing
that this was something related to the ATM networking.

However, this morning I observed a Linux machine on ethernet causing this.

At any rate, here's what I am seeing:

If a Linux machine is rebooted after having been up for a few days or
booted for the first time, the SGI machines will log the following message
to their SYSLOGs:

WARNING: ARP: got MAC address on el for BCAST IP address 0.0.0.0

The SGI's are the only machines that log this (other Linux machines don't
log anything and neither do our Sun machines).  All of our machines have
static IP addresses.

Has anyone seen this?

What are the permissions to the resolv.conf file now?  How did you edit it? (vi or emacs or
from an app for chaning it)

Hey
all,

 

I’ve
been running RH8.0 on my IBM T23 laptop for a few months, and everything has
been working great, even the lucent winmodem that comes installed in the
laptop.

 

Until
recently when I needed to connect to a network without a DHCP server to test my
VPN connection.  I used the
“neat” program to add a dns server to the list so that I could
connect to a hostname.  That’s
where the problem began.  Because
now, after removing that entry that I manually added, dhcp will not update my
dns server list.  I’ve tried
many things, cleaning out all entries from resolv.conf manually, rebooting,
connecting via different methods (wireless eth1, Ethernet eth0, and dial-up)
but no difference.

 

Any
ideas on how to fix this without a re-install?  It makes it a major pain when moving
back and forth between work and home, and the t-mobile hotspot service I just
paid $20 for won’t work either.

 

 

Thanks
a bunch in advance.

Making IMAP happen

2003-01-20 Thread Richard S. Crawford

Currently I pull e-mail in from my ISP's POP3 server and put it into an
mbox folder on my computer so that I can read it from either Evolution
or Mutt.

The next thing I'd like to do is set up an IMAP server on my computer so
that I can...

1.  Pull mail in from my ISP's POP3 server as before;

2.  Read my mail with Mutt when logging into my computer remotely
with an SSH client;

3.  Read my mail with Evolution when I'm sitting at my computer; and

4.  Install Squirrel Mail onto my computer so I can read my mail
via Mozilla (or *gasp* IE) when I'm at a remote computer that
I can't SSH from.

I know this is possible, for all things are possible with Linux.  But
how can I get started?  I've read the RH documentation but it seems a
bit thin on getting started with this sort of thing.
