Re: RH8 mail client to HotMail

[Alan Harding]

If its a script that you need to go and get your email then I recommend
Gotmail located at

http://www.nongnu.org/gotmail/

going directly into text install

[Manuel Camacho]

I am installing RH8.0 on my old laptop.

It has no network card, no modem, no floppy drive, and does not boot from
CD. So, I copied dosutils, images and isolinux directories to the windows
partition, booted windows in dos mode, and ran autoboot.

The problem is that I go directly into graphic install, and I require text
mode install (no, for some reason I am not getting the option to choose).

Can anyone point me how to work this out?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

-Manuel.

Your points are valid. However, nothing of what I have said is meant to
imply that either is a better tool than the other, or that either tool
is in some way inferior.

For users with the (not too complicated) knowledge to manage their
updates properly, it is obviously a viable solution to use both for
their respective packages.

BUT...

When you run an office with 15 people and none of them know whether
their computer has four or six cylinders, you choose specific paths. And
in my case, one of those paths is to say that those who use Red Hat are
told and taught how to use up2date and are given written instructions
with pictures should they choose to consult it.

Adding a second update manager to the mix would lead my users straight
to "But Windows was simpler" and me straight through the roof.

Now I just wish Red Hat would issue an update for Evolution! 8.0 is at
1.0.8-10, gnomehide is at 1.1.2-1, and I see Rawhide is way ahead at
1.2.1-4. Can we get a little help for the rest of us here?

Not entirely, Red-carpet doesn't do kernel updates. The choice really
isn't there for kernel updates.

What specifically have you heard that makes you think that? Seriously.
Maybe I'm not getting all the posts, but so far, the only complaints
I've seen are problems running Ximian customized packages instead of Red
Hat customized packages of GNOME. none of that is due to the packaging
tools, but that Ximian and Red hat use different versions of libraries,
and make customizations, as does Ximian.

If you run the Ximian modified GNOME desktop and RPM, you need their
packages, whether your update tool is RC, up2date, or ftp and rpm on the
command line.

I teach this stuff, so that is why I want to see the arguments; nothing
personal.

But again, you are consciously deciding not to mix them by doing
different updates with one or the other. This does _not_ qualify as
peaceful and harmonious coexistence in my book.

I, on the other hand, would like both myself and my people to use a
single tool if possible. But, far more importantly, I would like to
minimize human error when someone inevitably updates the wrong thing
with the wrong tool.

All I've heard today still makes me feel like I shouldn't mix them.

You'll want to add a time server to /etc/ntp/step-tickers, so that the

Hmm... I thought it was the other way, but I guess that makes sense.

Re: Configuring Linux 7 as client to Windows Server

[mklinke]

Krishna,

What kind of server?  Assuming one of the most asked questions I'll take 
a wild guess at "smb."  If I'm correct, take a look at 'man smbclient' 
to see if it fits the bill.  If I'm not correct, you'll have to fill us 
in a little more concerning what you want to do.

Pkg install hangs near end of install

[Danny Towler]

 
I quite frequently find that the installation of packages hang right near the end. I'm using the RH8 GUI installer. Many such failed installs are of packages from RHN.
 
Having hung and subsequently killed off, no other rpm commands can be run - either via the GUI or the command-line rpm command. They hang too.
 
Does anyone know the cause/fix to this?

usb intellimouse ceases functioning on custom kernel

[Jordan Weber-Flink]

I was recently running redhat8 with kernel 2.4.18-19.8.0.
I have two mice, one is an old microsoft wheelmouse I keep 
plugged into my ps/2 port so that my bios doesn't scream
when I boot. The other is an intellimouse optical usb.

Both were working fine (although the ps/2 was just sitting 
on top of the case) until I recently compiled a custom kernel.
The only thing I changed was that I added ntfs support as a 
module.

Now I can mount my ntfs drive but the intellimouse doesn't
work. It lights up, permanently, but won't move the mouse
cursor on screen. The old mouse works fine. What should I do?

Thanks,

- Jordan

i think what he's looking for is something that works like outlook express

in what folders etc.  it'll even send email through it.

i'd like to know if something like that exists too actually

Re: telnet problem

[Michael Mansour]

Hi Mike,

As part of the default Red Hat 8.0 install, telnet is
disabled (this is not bad considering it's not secure
and more and more people implement ssh).

You'll have to go to the:

/etc/xinetd.d

directory and edit the "telnet" file, modify the:

disable = yes

parameter to "no", then stop and start xinetd (or send
a "killall -HUP inetd").

You'll then find telnet will work.

Michael.

Try installing the rpm from the command line.  You should at least get
some more informative error message.  

$ cd /path/to/rpm
$ rpm -ivh 

or

$ rpm -ivh *.rpm 

if there is more than one you want to install.

RE: Linux Newbie

[rvelez]

OK I went and did some searching and an command prompt I did:

[root@phyche dev]# insmod maestro
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-19.8.0/kernel/drivers/sound/maestro.o
/lib/modules/2.4.18-19.8.0/kernel/drivers/sound/maestro.o: init_module:
No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
  You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

I looked in dmesg and the last thing in their was:

spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.

So I am thinking here that there is an IRQ conflict. Is this possible?
Any ideas. I have searched and searched and haven't found anything to
helpful. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again

It is a real bug.

I know it's bad form to reply to yourself, but some more searching turned
up Bugzilla Bug 57998, opened 2002-01-04 (!!).  It's apparently been
around since 7.2, anyway, so I guess I shouldn't hold my breath waiting
for it to get fixed.

A, in my previous life (before retirement), I remember in Solaris,
there was a file in a /etc/? directory, that you had to edit to allow
root telnet access.  A regular user works OK, but by default, root does
not.

I have no idea if this a similar setting for Red Hat

I'm more than willing to disable IPv6, but I'm not sure where or how.  I
tried "sysctl -a | grep ip' earlier, and every name it returned started
with "net.ipv4" which I took to mean that IPv6 wasn't enabled.

I've been rustling through the online docs, and found this in
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-6.95/sysconfig.txt:

NETWORKING_IPV6=yes|no
Enable or disable global IPv6 initialization
Default: no

So if IPv6 is enabled, I've no idea how to disable itI just downloaded
the Linux IPv6 HOWTO from ibiblio.org, and according to it if IPv6 is
enabled the file /proc/net/if_inet6 should exist.  It doesn't.

I've just about decided this is a real bug...

Thanks for the help.

I'm not entirely clear on what you're looking for but there is gotmail

Re: HELP---How to diagnose the NIC on PC?

[Michael Mansour]

Are eth0 and eth2 the same brand network card?

Do you know the type of the integrated eth card?

The most important thing here is that you load the
drivers for your network card (whether compiled into
the kernel or as modules).

Make sure your kernel supports your card because if it
doesn't ie. if you haven't compiled in support, then
you'd not going to get this working.

Not a no-no, but definitely not for newbies.  The patches *are* there, but
you need to get them, patch your kernel, build it, and install it.  Gives

with regards to using sendmail... you have a choice of using the mailertable
feature or the local-host-names file to determine where mail for your domain
is delivered. If you want e-mail delivered locally on the same system that
sendmail is running on, then add:

mydomain.com 

to /etc/mail/local-host-names.

If you want sendmail to relay all e-mail for mydomain.com to another masq'd
system for final delivery (like an exchange server), then add:

mydomain.com: esmtp:[ip of other mail server]

to /etc/mail/mailertable.

I also run a masq'd mail server behind my firewall. I had to add the
confDOMAIN_NAME entry to my sendmail.mc file to get certain MTA's to accept
e-mail from my mail server.

RE: Difficulties with APM on Dell laptop

[Lon Lentz]

  If the problem is because RedHat has not included ACPI in their distro,
there is the option of downloading a vanilla kernel from kernel.org and then
patching it with the acpi patch(es) (I believe the project is available from
sourceforge). You would lose any RedHat kernel additions though.

If you look at both fstab and mtab, you'll find
exactly what the partitions refer to. You can match
them up from the mtab file.

Labelling, as the man page suggests, is for making
"the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI
disk changes the disk device name but not the
filesystem volume label".

> What if more then one partitions exist with that

I haven't tried that, but I would assume it'd be human
error, you should always use different LABEL names
when labelling partitions.

Yes, just make sure that whichever / parititon you're
booting is actually your root partition.

RE: Mail is refused due to domain

[Chris Mason]

Thanks, Steve, hopefully that will work. 
Short of using a smarthost, which I can do, how do other people configure
mailservers so that they deliver internal mail internally and can relay to
external MTA's also?
I know most mail servers are not so anal about reverse lookups, so my setup
will generally work, but I want to have it perfect if possible.

Masquerading an e-mail envelope vs. the EHLO negotiation between the MTA's
are two different things. Sendmail (like most mta's) is going to make a call
to the resolver libs to determine the FQDN (canonical domain name) of the
host its running on at startup. It's this name that is used during the EHLO
negotiation with the remote MTA. IF the masq'd canonical domain name is not
resolvable by the external MTA's resolver libs, then (if configured) the
remote MTA could reject your e-mail.

With the above in mind, try adding the following to your sendmail.mc file.
Change mail.mydomain.com to a resolvable FQDN. i.e. a FQDN that resolves
from an external source.

define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `mail.mydomain.com')dnl

It might. RH released an errata kernel yesterday. Have you tried it yet? I 
have heard of breakage on that card in some of the newer kernels. I don't 
know which versions though, I just remember it being in the pcnet32 driver. 
Some Google searches may be in order. If it persists after installing the 
latest kernel from RH (or if you've already installed it), I would put this 
in Bugzilla.

I think the problem is that IPv6 is enabled by default in the newer (since 
7.2?) kernels. Since the kernel will run through IPv6 first and then fall 
back to IPv4, you would need to have IPv6 style hosts in the /etc/hosts file 
for it to respect that properly. But this is from memory, so there may be 
some innaccuracies.

I would say to disable IPv6 if not needed or make sure you have IPv6 hosts in 
the /etc/hosts file. That should resolve the issues.



Hope it helps.

RE: red-carpet and up2date on same machine

[Alan Harding]

I must admit that for the last year or so I have been running red-carpet
and up2date.

Red carpet is used for all my package updates, and it has never given
any problems.

Up2date is run only to do kernel upgrades. 

works for me

Since you're talking about /var/www that's the second branch.
What are the ownerships and permissions on /, /var and /var/www ?
One of the chdir(/var/www), the getcwd() once there, or the second chdir()
to what getcwd() returns is failing.

Is /var/www a symlink to somewhere less accessible?

You could have the PHP script setup an at job to run the perl script in a 
couple of minutes. The 'at' command will exit quickly and atd will run the 
perl script when the time comes.

This is a kludge and may not scale well. A database trigger would be the 
best way to go, but I don't know if you can setup a trigger to run as a 
background task, disconnected from the current connection/query.

You could add a column to the database that records the time when a 
notification was sent out. Then a perl script, running under cron, could 
periodically check the database, send notifications, and update the 
database with the notification timestamp.

Of course it can't talk to the nameserver, it's a non-existant domain behind
a firewall.

The question is, why does it want to? Why doesn't the mail server present
itself as a company.ocm as that's the masquerade?

Looks like aol.com is unable to communicate with your name servers; it's 
probably trying a reverse DNS lookup. You'll probably want to cross-check 
your nameserver logs, to see whether or not there's a problem there.

See if telnet service is really up:
netstat -a

If telnet is up, then check if there are any iptables or ipchains rules 
denying the connection:
iptables -L or,
ipchains -L

Hope this helps

PostgreSQL Triggers/PHP

[David Busby]

List,
I've got a PHP script on a web site that allows for insertion of data
into my PG database.  After data is inserted I need to have a PERL script
executed that will message many other hosts (sort of like replication).  The
PERL script can take a few minutes to execute.  How can I have the PHP or PG
execute this script, but not wait for its completion?  I can't have the PHP
script lag for 2 minutes, how would I make a trigger in PG fire off a PERl
script for every insert?

SuExec Problem under RedHat 8.0

[Edward Muller]

I am trying to get a script to work for a client. I need to run the
script with suexec.

I get the following error in my suexec.log file...


[2003-02-05 16:00:10]: cannot get docroot information (/var/www)


I've worked with suexec in the past, but I've never run into this one. 

/var/www is accessible by both the apache user and the user you the
scripts should run as.

Anyone know what stupid thing I'm missing?

Yup.  The newer cables - and you should have got one with either the
drive or the controller - are required for the newer stuff (ATA-66 and
better).  I should mention it's an 80-wire cable, not an 80-pin cable.
The connectors are the same as before.  Here's an article describing the
details on the new cables:
http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/if/ide/confCable80-c.html

To quote:
"The 80-conductor cable was first defined with the original Ultra DMA
modes 0, 1 and 2, covering transfer speeds up to 33.3 MB/s. The cable is
considered "optional" for those modes. However, for any Ultra DMA modes
above mode 2, the 80-conductor cable is mandatory."

Cheers,

Looks like aol.com is unable to communicate with your name servers; it's 
probably trying a reverse DNS lookup. You'll probably want to cross-check 
your nameserver logs, to see whether or not there's a problem there.

Its an Inspiron 2500 (PIII Celeron 900, I think)
Having been following the advice about enabling it in the kernel given
by someone earlier, I've found the option for ACPI under the "General"
section on the kernel config, but its greyed out, indicating (I think)
that its not available. Is that right? If I'm wrong about this, I'd be
more than happy if anyone can tell me how to enable it.

Its a bit of a pain, as I have no idea about the state of the battery. I
have to periodically boot into XP  to check
its not about to die on me when I'm out and about.

I've only been using RH for a few days, but already its become my
primary OS, its way better than Windows. If I could just some sort of
indication about the battery, I'd be 100% converted. And thats saying
something, considering my main job is Solaris support.

The asterisk means the clock has been declared a system peer--in other 
words, you are synchronized to that server. See 
/usr/share/doc/ntp-4.1.1/ntpq.htm for more info.

I can't find any reference to an = sign, though, so I'm guessing that it 
means your clock isn't in any of the other states. You may need to do some 
more research on this one.

You'll want to add a time server to /etc/ntp/step-tickers, so that the 
clock is brough up-to-date before attempting kernel time discipline. That 
will solve the problem of a bad hardware clock.

Asuuming you have installed everything with RPM or up2date, then just do
"rpm -e kernel.old.version", and the kernel will be removed and the grub.conf

F1 function key interference in X terminal window

[Billy Davis]

We have upgraded a text based application that 
previously ran in an X terminal window under RH7.3, to now run under 
RH8.0.  We use the F1 function key in ALL of our programs, and that was NOT 
a problem under 7.3.  However, under 8.0, when we press the F1 key, we get 
a HELP window instead of what we wanted.  How can we make this Fkey work 
like it did under 7.3?
 
Thanks,
Billy

Just one:  Try reading what I said again and doing that.  Open your file
manager from the desktop where it's already running.  Browse to the
location that LinNeighborhood has told you it's mounted the shares.

If you want LinNeighborhood to launch your file manager you need to go
into its preferences and select something reasonable, like:
nautilus $MOUNTPOINT
(if you're using GNOME)

Aside:  It would help everyone if you'd try to follow directions more
closely.  You'd have saved yourself a lot of time, and us a lot of
repeating answers if you'd got some of the early commands right.  I'm
guessing you read mail in an ugly variable width font, and that's why
you couldn't see the space between -f and /var, but if you'd cut-n-paste
as I suggested, you would have got the command right and seen your
mistake.  A little bit of attention will get your problems solved much
faster.

Mail is refused due to domain

[Chris Mason]

Good people of the esteemed Redhat list...

I have a mail server, loki,  for my intranet.
The intranet uses company.home as the network domain.

The mail server has an external IP forwarded by the firewall and receives
mail for the domain company.com

Sometimes, rarely, when a user sends mail external domains, the mail is
refused.

Example:

The original message was received at Wed, 5 Feb 2003 11:33:30 -0400 from

Usually, but not always. You *can* set up VNC to share control with
multiple clients, or to set up unpriveleged (e.g. no mouse/keyboard
control) client connections. You can even decide who would win the "fight"
if a client and console are both in contention (the default is to share,
but you can specify that one or the other gets control). In many regards,
VNC is *much* more flexible than X.

Yes, that's it.  The laptop is the only one that has any trouble, and
that's only when talking to the FreeBSD box. All of the machines are
connected through a Linksys 5 port Workgroup Hub.
On the laptop:

# /sbin/mii-tool eth0
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
#

The builtin ethernet card in the laptop is an AMD 79c970, if that makes
any difference.

OK, I just tried running ethereal on the FreeBSD and monitored the dialup
line.  The RedHat boxes are sending  queries to the nameserver for the
host I'm connecting to, and of course getting a 'no such name' response. 
So for some reason it's doing an IPv6 name lookup.

Good idea -- I should have thought of that myself:).  I get the same
results using telnet, so apparently something in glibc is always trying to
do an IPv6 name lookup.  I just did a little more playing around with
ethereal: with 'hosts: files dns' in nsswitch.conf, there is *always* an
attempt to do an  query, which fails.  If I change it to 'hosts: dns
files', there is first an  query which files, and then an A query
which fails.  Sounds like a bug to me. Can anyone else verify this?

It's not that I'm concerned about the disk space.  It's just that I prefer
the 'Keep It Simple' philosophy wherever possible, and kerberos is a
rather complex piece of software that I'm not using yet can't get rid of
-- it's just another potential 'failure point'.  I'm not losing any sleep
over it, though.

Thanks for suggestions/comments.

Yes. VNC is totally independent of the X servers on either box. They use 
different protocols, different ports, and different UNIX-domain sockets.

An easier method would be to use xargs:

Aside from the general advice to pay lots of attention to optimization

How about the Intel compilers for Linux?  There are other commercial
compilers for Fortran, but I can't recall at the moment who produces them.

Lin Neighborhood ???

[John Salamone]

I must say I am new to linneighborhood so please bare with me. Let me make
sure I have this straight. After I open up the linneighborhood window, I
should see my workgroup name and as I branch it out I should see my
computers connected to
my workgroup. As I branch it out further, I see the partitions associated
with my win98 machine. The next step I took was to mount each partition as
the following /root/mnt/comp name/C/ and  /root/mnt/comp name/D/. I then
clicked on edit tab selected group master and entered workgroup : My group
name (example SPORTS) and master: workgroup (the actual word WORKGROUP). I
still can't access my partitions.

Before I click on my C partition, should the folder be in an open status? A
matter of fact, all of the files are in an open status. Am I doing anything
wrong or do I have to take additional steps? Please let me know. Thanks!!

ntp again

[Patrick Nelson]

RH72 and RH73 up to date systems.  Having problems again.

Have a RH72 server (mytimeserver) that gets its time data from the internet
with a ntp.conf like:

  server time.nist.gov
  server time-nw.nist.gov
  driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
  authentication no

Then I have RH73 clients that access mytimeserver for time data with
ntp.conf files like:

  server time.npn
  driftfile /etc/ntp/drift

Running ntpdc -p mytimeserver shows:

 remotelocal st poll reach   delayoffsetdisp
 ===
 =time.nist.gov   1  512   377 0.08646 -0.001785 0.00931
 =time-nw.nist.gov1  512   377 0.05180 -0.00 0.00662

Running ntpdc -p mytimeclient shows:

 remotelocal st poll reach   delayoffsetdisp
 ===
 *mytimeserver2  128   377 0.00165 -0.000115 0.00095

Not sure what the "=" and "*" are.

The problem is one of my systems doesn't seems to be updating time data.
This seems to happen when the systems reboots and doens't have a good
hardware clock time.

Running ntpdate -u mytimeserver fails for what I can only figure is a large
difference in current system time to actually time.  I have to use rdate -s
time.nist.gov;hwclock --systohc to get it synced up correctly.  Then I seem
able to have ntpd keep up.  Anything I'm missing here?

Are you using an 80-pin cable between the drive and the controller?  If
not, replace the cable first.

Which model Dell is this?  Have you tried linux-laptops.org or the Yahoo
dell-linux group (I don't recall the exact name of that).

The Latitude C6xx machines support both ACPI and APM, and APM worked for
me out of the box (modulo some minor quirks).  Linux has some ACPI
support, but it is not turned on in the Red Hat kernel config and Red Hat
does not include the ACPI utilities in their distros.  I don't think
everything necessarily works in Linux's ACPI yet, though.  Of course,
Dell doesn't support Linux on their laptops, but it does work reasonably
well.

sintax is more like:

then
   bla bla bla

so ";" is the equivalent of a new line.

I think several lines are not quite right:

the script will only echo first time it finds the string, if you have

It would write it like this (although yours almost works):

if [ -z "$pid" ]; then
echo "not running"

echo "$pid is running"

This would handle characters that would normaly have to be escaped a
little better and provides a non-zero error level if your process


isn't 

running. You could then use this script within other scripts if you 
wanted, like this:

--- CUT ---

if ! /somewhere/checkpid ; then
dosomething
fi

--- CUT ---

Although, I think the only thing wrong with your script is that it
doesn't have a "; then" after the "if [ xxx ]" statement.

Good luck!

Thanks for you advice, i gave it a go but still no luck :-(

I might be wrong but i dont think its because of my firewall because the
windows computers have no problem connection to the shared folders.

I think it's something to do with the command i am using to connect.
what command do you guys use to connect to the printer ?

\\hostname\printers
?

thanks for your help though.

That was one of the first things I tried, but it didn't resolve the issue. 
Your diagnosis makes sense, but I didn't see any other locks on the 
files. Next time it happens ( if it happens again ) I will see what a 
trace reveals. I have a gut level feel that this could be the result of 
a race condition somewhere.

Re: Samba printer sharing problem

[Raymundo M. Vega]

Are you running iptables? what about killing it and test?

I had similar problem, i have an external firewall so there was no
risk if i tun off iptables.

I'm having some problems sharing my printer with samba. The printer
works fine locally, but whenever I try to connect to it from a windows

the parts of my /etc/smb.conf concerned with printing look like this

   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   load printers = yes

   printing = lprng

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   printer = raw
   browseable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   printable = yes


And my /etc/printcap looks like this

:af=/var/spool/lpd/Print/Print.acct:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/usb/lp0:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:

Seen as its an access denied error i though it could be to do with the
permissions of /var/spool/samba but they are set drwxrwxrwt which as far
as i know is correct.

The ip of the server  is 192.168.0.2. and from the windows machine I am
trying to connect by typing \\192.168.0.2\printers 

I am new to the world of samba so if I'm betting i've made an obvious
mistake somewhere along the line.

Thanks in advance,
Adam

If you mounted your shares, that's it.  You're done. You don't have to
go and change preferences after something works.

However, LinNeighborhood is not configured, by default, to open up a
window and show you the contents of those folders.  Open a file manager
window from your desktop and browse to the location that you mounted the
shares.  You should see your windows files there.

Re: Why doesn't this work in cron?

[Jeff Bearer]

for anybody who cares, here is the working way I came up with.

SHELL=/bin/bash
YESTERDAY="date +%Y%m%d -d yesterday"
* * * * * root echo $($YESTERDAY)


I'm not sure if that works in sh or just bash so I put the shell
variable just to be safe.

after this point all you need to do is go to your /root/mnt/comp name/C
directory and all your files from the win98 box "/C"  will be there.

unless you configure linneighborhod to launch your filebrowser, it will not do 
it by itself.

Re: question on linneighborhood

[John Salamone]

Ok, I tried that and changed it to no. I must say I am new to
linneighborhood so please bare with me. Let me make sure I have this
straight. After I open up the linneighborhood window, I should see my
workgroup name and as I branch it out I should see my computers connected to
my workgroup. As I branch it out further, I see the partitions associated
with my win98 machine. The next step I took was to mount each partition as
the following /root/mnt/comp name/C/ and  /root/mnt/comp name/D/. I then
clicked on edit tab selected group master and entered workgroup : My group
name (example SPORTS) and master: workgroup (the actual word WORKGROUP). I
still can't access my partitions. Am I doing anything wrong or do I have to
take additional steps? Please let me know. Thanks!!

Well they are competition. RedHat wants you to pay for RHN, Ximian wants
to you pay for RC premium services. ;^)

Seriously though, look at what they do. They download and install RPMs,
and do dependency checking. Neither of them munge the RPMD DB in a
particular way that screws up the others (That's RPM's job ;) ).

If you have a problem between conflicting packages, you'll have a
problem between conflicting packages. If you have a conflict between
Ximian's packages and Red Hat's that problem will exist independently of
the tool used to download and install them. That's why you pick one
desktop package set and use it. Jumping back and forth will be a
problem, but it is a human error, not one related to the use of the
tool.

They both suffer from the same problem: namely that if it doesn't know
where to get a dependency, it barfs.

IMO, if they don't tell you *why*, get it from them.

Those are my thoughts anyway.

I'd classify that as a problem between the Ximian Desktop and packages
and Redhat's desktop and packages, not red-carpet and up2date.

It is possible, in fact, if you are running RH8.0 you can't subscribe to
a Ximian desktop channel. :)

If you're not up-do-date on the Windows server, you may have to set:
encrypt passwords = No
in /etc/samba/smb.conf on your Linux box.

The problem has to do with the locking of some files... You don't have
to reboot to fix it.  You just have to remove /var/lib/rpm/__db*.  After
that, most people recommend that you rebuild the database, but I don't
know if it's strictly necessary.

Just to be clear:  You have one Red Hat Linux 8 machine on your desk,
and another that is a laptop.  One of these communicates with the
FreeBSD box at a normal speed, and the other at only 14K/sec.  Right? 
How is the laptop connected to the rest of the machines?  If you run
  /sbin/mii-tool eth0
on the laptop, what does it return?  Perhaps it thinks the connection is
full duplex, when it is not...  That doesn't quite explain it, but
that's where I'd start looking.

Don't know on this one...  It seems most likely that ssh is doing some
additional work.  Are you sure the lookup is for the name of the server
you're connecting to?

Use telnet to connect to the server's ssh port and see if the machine
does a DNS lookup when the name is in /etc/hosts.  If so, then the
problem is probably in glibc.  If not, then the problem is that ssh is
doing something that you (and I) don't understand.

No.  Do you think that ~1.5MiB of disk space is worth the effort to
produce a distribution without it?
