Newt/Slang and non VGA tty's.
Hi All, I have been using libnewt to build various system administration utitilities, and things were working pretty good until I went to Phoebe. Where I have problems is when I run the programs in a non-vga tty (such as an ssh sessioin or accross a serial port). I found an interesting work around, in that if I set my TERM var to vt400-8 it seems to give me a fairly nice gracefully degraded view, but not perfect. My questions are two fold: 1) Does anyone on the list have any experience with libnewt on a non vga tty and what did you do to get it to look nice? 2) What is libnewt (really slang) supposed to work on? Is it only really supposed to look good on VGA or is there some preferential terminal type? 3) Lastly, I actually get different results when I run my program as a users shell as opposed to running it from the shell. What might be up with this? Thanks...james ___ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list

März 2003 02:29 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Is RH8 Ever Going to be Updated? Thousands of patches and kludges later RH8 is functional but well behind the curve. Anyone know if/when RedHat intends to release a significantly upgraded version? (I am sick of wasting time trying to get things to work, or fixing things the updates break.) Feature Wish List: 1. Integrated xsane with complete feature support for common scanners, including the Memorex MEM48U. 2. Integrated E-mail client that includes at least the features of MSIE. (Beonex Galeon fall short, e.g. neither auto-completes addresses and neither of the address books function reliably.) 3. Integrated dial-up/modem monitor that accurately displays connect, data flow, and other information. (None of the apps I have tried work properly. e.g. the icon shows up but the status lights are unreadable and the pop-up fails -- so no info.) 4. Integrated image and video display apps. Have GIMP and GNOME running, hacked in MTV for MPEGS, but nothing working for AVI, etc. Quite frankly it seems absurd to have to chase down all of this stuff for a product I bought (yes, I bought it) that was represented as a complete M$ Windows alternative. 5. There is more but I have either hacked-in apps, learned to expect a lesser product for the sake of not using M$, or given up expecting certain things to work for the same reason. (Oh, StarOffice 6.0, paid for that as well, still doesn't integrate properly -- not sure if I should blame Sun or RedHat but sure know I should not have to spend hours getting two commercial Linux products to talk to each other!

The 'mount' command doesn't automatically recognize vfat or msdos filesytems, but does ext2; see: man mount But, if you have an /etc/filesystems file, 'mount' will read the filesystem types listed from there and try to correctly decipher if what you're trying to mount is one of those. It seems to work well enough on my RH 7.0 machine. My /etc/filesystems file: ext2 nodev proc nodev devpts iso9660 vfat hfs Check out the documentation for details. Best, Tom You might try moving 'vfat' to the top of the list of filesystem types in /etc/filesystems; before iso9660 or ext2. The 'mount' docs do mention that the order may make a difference. I don't use vfat32 on my Windows machines, but rather vfat16 or msdos, so can't verify that mount automatically works with both the 16 and 32 types.

I ran up2 date on it to update the sendmail after the 3 March exploit became known. I kept the old files as is in /etc/mail.

The problem I have is that if the openLDAP server is down, it takes ages... like 5 minutes, to login as root or to do anything which checks authentication... to me it should be checking files for this first before ldap... but that certainly does not seem how it is... I will have a replica openLDAP server soon, but I would like to understand this fully... does anyone know how to fix that.. .or know anywhere where there are people that know how to fix this?

Re: openldap strangeness
Hello Bill, The /etc/nsswitch only defines the name services to use and their order ie. usernames, servicenames, etc. (Not Auth!) LDAP can do all of this and a lot more(as u well know). Once the nameservices are setup u must still use authentication to permit access. If you are using the RH RPMS then use the 2.0 admin guide it will steer u in the right direction for the recommended storage of only user data within the LDAP directory and the setup of the pam files to use the local passwd for root.(talk about your run-on sentence) (Make sure that u BACKUP pam.d first!)

Re: Sharing home and mail directories
On Sun, 2003-03-16 at 21:39, Matthew Saltzman wrote:
I have a small home network, and I'd like to share home and mail
directories so that a user logging in on any machine in the network sees
the /home/userid directory from his/her own machine and
/var/spool/mail/userid from a common server. I think I have the basics,
but I'd like to make sure I've got it right before I break something I
care about. I'd like not to use NIS at the moment, though I may get into
that later. There aren't so many machines or users that I feel the need
for it at this point.
NIS is not the only way to share the user database. LDAP, Hesiod,
Kerberos and SMB are all supported by RedHat Linux. At the simplest
level, you can setup a cron job that pulls
/etc/{passwd,shadow,group,gshadow} from one central server periodically.
For your purposes, the important thing is to have all users map to the
same userID on every machine on your network.
For a home directory, I know that the machine it lives on must export it
in /etc/exports:
/home/joeuser 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync)
You would be better off exporting the entire /home directory.
To get it mounted when the user logs into any machine, I would have that
user's entry in /etc/passwd be:
joeuser:x:500:500:Joe User:something:/bin/bash
but what about something reflects the fact that the directory is to be
mounted from the remote machine on login? Or am I off base here?
It is the local mount point. It is recomended to make the local mount
points mimic the local mount points in the NFS server.
For the mail files, I have the server export /var/spool/mail as:
/var/spool/mail 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync)
and I mount it with the entry in /etc/fstab
server:/var/spool/mail/var/spool/mail nfs \
auto,hard,intr,rw 0 0
This seems straightforward except for one thing: root's mail file is now
network-mounted so all mail to root on any machine will go to the same
mail file. Thus (1) I won't be able to tell which machine generated
the mail, and (2) since I'm not NFS mounting /root, when I read that mail,
the mbox file it ends up in will depend on which machine I'm logged into.
Is there a way around that difficulty?
As for your concerns,
(1) Yes you will, because each machine's mail system will add headers
which will tell which machine generated the message.
(2) There is nice little program called unison that is similar to rsync,
but does bidirectional synchronization. You could use it to sync
/root/mbox periodically. You could solve both problems instructing your
MTA to use procmail as an MDA and create a /root/.procmailrc stating
that delivery should go directly to /root/mbox instead of
/var/spool/mail/root. If you do this, remember to change the value of
$MAIL.
Much more of a concern is the problem with mailbox locking. The mbox
format is quite bad at handling race conditions. For this reason, I
would recomend you investigate on MTA and MUA software that has support
for the MailDir message format (IIRC, postfix and mutt both have support
for MailDir). If you configure your system so that mail is delivered to
$HOME/MailDir/..., you won't even have to export /var/spool/mail.

Re: grep an exact match
Depends on what you are expecting. grep 'something1 ' (space after 1) will match only that. grep 'something1$' will match something1 at the end of a line grep 'something1[ $\.' (space, dollar sign and backspace period) will match something1 followed by either a period, as in end of sentence, or a space, as in it is a word separated by a space, or at the end of a line. Add a space to the front of 'something1 ' to match something1 represented as a word separated by spaces. It all depends on whast you are expecting.

From man grep: -w, --word-regexp Select only those lines containing matches that form whole words. The test is that the matching substring must either be at the beginning of the line, or preceded by a non-word con- stituent character. Similarly, it must be either at the end of the line or followed by a non-word constituent character. Word- constituent characters are letters, digits, and the underscore.

Re: Practice Exams
I agree. I am studying for my LPI instead of RHCE for some of the same reasons. Paying so much money for something that has frequently updated isn't prudent. I may be showing my ignorance, and updates may be less expensive. However, I think RH needs to re-think it's strategy. I think they do have the right approach to the test itself, testing hands-on and weeding out the photographic memory types is good for the certification. It will, however, be hard to attract the masses to this exam, and perhaps that's what they want. The LPI is attractive in many respects. I've found in my job hunt (currently looking, anyone?) that I'm being advised to have familiarity with many distro's. I found this surprising. I even had one guy tell me, Get your hands on Gentoo and some of the other desktop distro's. That kinda floored me, but also excites me. It's good to see companies wanting a broad knowledge.

There's an RHCE Exam Cram book by Kara Pritchard. It's a little out of date in it's coverage (often the case with printed study guides), but does exactly what you want: gives you an overview of the test process, and some guidance about passing. The problem is that the Red Hat-isms change from version to version. That might not matter too much on the hands-on, depending on what the task is, but Red Hat has been known to shift packages and config files between versions, so learning *how* to problem solve is probably a better strategy than learning how to solve a particular problem. Personally, I'd recommend taking the LPI exams instead. They have a little less prominence, but they don't expire the way the RHCE does, they cost less, and they're vendor-neutral. You can pass LPI by being familiar with Linux in general, and not have to learn all the -isms for a given distro (other than RPM and APT package management). Personally, I refuse to pay almost $800 as a single pass/fail unit. If your employer is paying, then give it a whirl; if you fail, you'll know what you need to study for the next time. But if you're paying out of your own pocket, I'd steer clear of RHCE and go for an LPIC instead. -- Guvf gntyvar jnf rapbqrq jvgu gur ebg13.fu fpevcg, ninvynoyr ng uggc://jjj.pbqrtabzr.bet/fpevcgvat/fubjfpevcg.cuc?fpevcg=ebg13.fu be sebz n furyy-fpevcgvat nepuvir arne lbh! - ROT-13 Encoded Message -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
using diff, cmp, comm, etc.
Title: using diff, cmp, comm, etc. Hello all, Take a look at the following script (alteration of the one Anthony Greene was kind enough to offer up to me). My question: is there a way to use something like diff, cmp, comm or such to return a list of the differences (line by line) between 2 files? The current script simply sends the current directory listing, my preference would be to send the only the differences between the current and previous copies. # Compare the previous and current directory listings. if cmp -s /etc/ftpradiolsnew /etc/ftpradiolsold then # The FTP radio directory listing has not changed, update listing only. rm -rf /etc/ftpold cp /etc/ftpnew /etc/ftpold else # The directory listing has changed, send an e-mail notification update listing. cat /etc/ftpnew | mail -s updated FTP radio spot list [EMAIL PROTECTED] rm -rf /etc/ftpold cp /etc/ftpnew /etc/ftpold fi Feel free to make any other suggestions (improvements) to what I've done here...it's kinda crude, but it does what I want (almost).

I'm beginning to wonder where the times are were things were either released when ready (isn't Linus still handling this - or at least trying to?) or released early and released often. Both have their merits. Linus only weighs in on the release of the stable kernel and then Red Hat usually picks it up in the next release of the distribution. But if you keep up with the it should be called GNU/Linux debate, you would probably also catch on to the fact that the kernel (the only piece that is truely Linux) is only part of what can effect the stablity of a distribution. There is also the GNU portions that also tend to be the foundation of almost the entire distribution as well. This include GCC and GLIBC. With GCC 2.96, it was clear that RH *forced* a release early since the C++ team didn't release often enough. But, I agree that both release methods have merits and I frequently find myself returning to RawHide to rebuild critical production RPMs because the standard distribution didn't contain the features we needed. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Basically you just :
1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Format tab.
2. In the Send in this message format list, select Plain Text or HTML, and
then click OK.

Two problems with Redhat on a laptop.
Hi all, I think this is the correct place for my questions. If not forgive me. I have sucessfully installed Redhat 8.0 on my Sony PCG-FX401 laptop and it is working beautifully. However I have two outstanding issues. 1) The XFree86 XVideo extensions do not seem to be available. How can I install these? 2) My wireless card (Netgear MA401) aparrently requires a later release of the orinoco_cs module than is currently available with Redhat kernels. Do I need to move to a stock kernel for this or is there an alternative method? Thanks in advance.

Load what modules?
The parport module is loaded by: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
The ntfs module should be loaded on demand when you try to mount an
ntfs filesystem (with mount /foo /bar -t ntfs ..., or an entry in
/etc/fstab), and I've no idea what /proc/scsi/imm is supposed to do.
If you are trying to load an scsi_hostadapter something like:
'alias scsi_hostadapter imm'
would be the syntax, but I've no idea if that is correct for your
system. I take it this is for a zip drive? You might try a google
search for imm and modules.conf to get the correct entries.
Actually, a google search suggest the following entries might work for a
zip drive using the imm module:
alias scsi_hostadapter imm
alias block-major-8 sd_mod
Hope that helps,

Scenario : Serveral authors/publishers/whatever uploading new/different material to a centralized source. This material then needs to be deseminated to multiple other individuals and kept syncronized. Should also have the ability to be queried for differences. If this fits what you are trying to do, have you considered using CVS? It has serveral advantages over what it looks like you are doing now. 1. It can be fully automated on all sides. 2. It keeps track of everything that happens. 3. It can be tunnelled through SSH for added security. 4. It works.

Anyone know if/when RedHat intends to release a significantly upgraded version? (I am sick of wasting time trying to get things to work, or fixing things the updates break.) Feature Wish List: 1. Integrated xsane with complete feature support for common scanners, including the Memorex MEM48U. I didn't know they even made scanners. 2. Integrated E-mail client that includes at least the features of MSIE. (Beonex Galeon fall short, e.g. neither auto-completes addresses and neither of the address books function reliably.) Well I'd not be suprised to see that a WEB BROWSER falls short of the features of a MAIL CLIENT. Why do you think a web browser should auto-complete email addresses and have an address book? For HTTP addresses, Galeon does do auto-complete. Evolution (and EMAIL CLIENT) does have address books and auto-completion. MSIE is not a mail client either. Maybe try an email client for email. ;) 3. Integrated dial-up/modem monitor that accurately displays connect, data flow, and other information. (None of the apps I have tried work properly. e.g. the icon shows up but the status lights are unreadable and the pop-up fails -- so no info.) 4. Integrated image and video display apps. Have GIMP and GNOME running, hacked in MTV for MPEGS, but nothing working for AVI, etc. Quite frankly it seems absurd to have to chase down all of this stuff for a product I bought (yes, I bought it) that was represented as a complete M$ Windows alternative. Not really, an *alternative* is not a *clone*. 5. There is more but I have either hacked-in apps, learned to expect a lesser product for the sake of not using M$, or given up expecting certain things to work for the same reason.

What do you mean when you claim that SO doesn't talk to Linux and vica-versa?

Re: Sharing home and mail directories

I have a small home network, and I'd like to share home and mail
directories so that a user logging in on any machine in the network sees
the /home/userid directory from his/her own machine and
/var/spool/mail/userid from a common server. I think I have the basics,
but I'd like to make sure I've got it right before I break something I
care about. I'd like not to use NIS at the moment, though I may get into
that later. There aren't so many machines or users that I feel the need
for it at this point.
NIS is not the only way to share the user database. LDAP, Hesiod,
Kerberos and SMB are all supported by RedHat Linux. At the simplest
level, you can setup a cron job that pulls
/etc/{passwd,shadow,group,gshadow} from one central server periodically.
For your purposes, the important thing is to have all users map to the
same userID on every machine on your network.
Yes. In this case, maintaining /etc/passwd and /etc/groups by hand is
adequate for my needs. Sometime when I have more time I'll look into some
of these alternatives.
For a home directory, I know that the machine it lives on must export it
in /etc/exports:
/home/joeuser 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync)
You would be better off exporting the entire /home directory.
To get it mounted when the user logs into any machine, I would have that
user's entry in /etc/passwd be:
joeuser:x:500:500:Joe User:something:/bin/bash
but what about something reflects the fact that the directory is to be
mounted from the remote machine on login? Or am I off base here?
It is the local mount point. It is recomended to make the local mount
points mimic the local mount points in the NFS server.
I see how this would work if all user directories were on a single server.
In my case, Joe User's primary home directory is on his desktop and Jane
User's primary files are on her desktop. But I want Joe to see his
primary home when he logs into Jane's machine (or any other one on the
LAN) and the same for Jane. If I just export /home from Joe's machine and
mount it on Jane's, I'll mask her primary home directory.
I'm thinking there might be something that can be done with the
automounter. So the behavior would be:
Joe logs into Joe's machine and gets the local /home/joeuser.
Joe logs into Jane's machine and it automounts Joe's /home/joeuser
via NFS. When Joe logs out, the mounted home directory is
unmounted.
Jane's userid behaves the opposite.
Can that work?
For the mail files, I have the server export /var/spool/mail as:
/var/spool/mail 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync)
and I mount it with the entry in /etc/fstab
server:/var/spool/mail/var/spool/mail nfs \
auto,hard,intr,rw 0 0
This seems straightforward except for one thing: root's mail file is now
network-mounted so all mail to root on any machine will go to the same
mail file. Thus (1) I won't be able to tell which machine generated
the mail, and (2) since I'm not NFS mounting /root, when I read that mail,
the mbox file it ends up in will depend on which machine I'm logged into.
Is there a way around that difficulty?
As for your concerns,
(1) Yes you will, because each machine's mail system will add headers
which will tell which machine generated the message.
(2) There is nice little program called unison that is similar to rsync,
but does bidirectional synchronization. You could use it to sync
/root/mbox periodically. You could solve both problems instructing your
MTA to use procmail as an MDA and create a /root/.procmailrc stating
that delivery should go directly to /root/mbox instead of
/var/spool/mail/root. If you do this, remember to change the value of
$MAIL.
Ah, that would do it. Thanks.
Much more of a concern is the problem with mailbox locking. The mbox
format is quite bad at handling race conditions. For this reason, I
would recomend you investigate on MTA and MUA software that has support
for the MailDir message format (IIRC, postfix and mutt both have support
for MailDir). If you configure your system so that mail is delivered to
$HOME/MailDir/..., you won't even have to export /var/spool/mail.
Interesting. In this very low-traffic environment, I don't think I'm
taking much of a risk. But I imagine that I could also set up the LAN so
that all mail delivery on the LAN is through the server. (I'm currently
using sendmail.)
Thanks for your suggestions.
