Re: Problem with Samba

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

i'd already done it.. the problem is if you kill the PID connection to other 
shares are also lost i.e. Samba for all connections jusk creates a single PID.

Stop the database, backup the data in oradata, then move the data to /home
and make a symlink to it:

cd /home
mkdir oradata
cd /opt/app/oradata
cp -a * /home/oradata
cd ..
rm -rf oradata
ln -s /home/oradata oradata

RE: DSL connection on LAN with RedHat 6.2 server has failed.

[William Dolphin]

Does the RH6.2 server itself have an externally visible internet address?
If so what ports are visible to the internet?
It has a static IP address assigned by the DSL ISP. What ports may be 
visible, I don't know.

Are you saying you have never applied any security patches?
I've not applied any patches. The RH6.2 server was setup by someone now 
long gone who left no documentation. It's not been altered since.

I'm no sysadmin (obviously) -- just the only guy who comes around this 
office who knows anything beyond the power switch, so I got roped into 
trying to troubleshoot this.

Looks like I need to get them to bring someone in with real expertise. . . .

Many thanks for everyone's help.

All Good Wishes,
William Dolphin

Increasing partition size

[Sudhakar list]

Hi, 
I'm using RH Linux 6.2 kernel 2.4.2.
I've got two file systems, /opt and /home.I don't 
have much space in /opt but I've about 10 GB on /home.
Oracle installed uses /opt and I'm out of space on 
/opt.
Is there any way I can use /home in such a way that 
whenever oracle writes some files /opt/app/oradata it is actually writing in 
/home and therefore my /opt is not being filled up.
 
I'd appreciate your comments and suggestions in 
this regard.

See if you can view it in ImageMagick:

  display filename.mag

If that does not work, try the GIMP.

If either one will view the file, then you should be able to convert it to
TIFF or JPEG. If not, then you may be stuck buying a third party app to
convert the images.

Use smbstatus to find the PID of the smbd process that is accessing the
share, then kill that process.

As you can see, some of these binaries seem to be absolutely foobar'd, 
displaying what looks like inode information rather than attributes.

An rm on them fails, with an 'operation not permitted'.

I can't shutdown the box to run fsck on the partition (it's remote 
and it's uptime is important).

Can anyone suggest some things to try? I'm braced for really obvious 
suggestions that I should have already tried :)

Evolution: Send later by default?

[Kevin Krumwiede]

I used to use Ximian Desktop.  The "pure" version of Evolution
apparently uses "send later" instead of "send" by default, because
that's what it did and I never thought about it.  I'm used to it being
that way and I want to configure the RH version the same.  But there
doesn't seem to be a place to change the behavior of "send", and there
also doesn't seem to be a way to replace the "send" button on the
toolbar with a "send later" button.

Am I just SOL here?

You don't grep the /etc/passwd directly if you have LDAP but you can generate

How can I query a system to find the next availabel uid/gid number. 
Greping the passwd file will not work as this system gets its user info

Try /etc/init.d/named stop
  The scripts in /etc/init.d/ (really /etc/rc.d/init.d) are used to start
and stop "services" (daemons).
If you `cd /etc/init.d/` and then `ls` you can see all of the good stuff.
Also `setup` will give a nifty UI for this stuff.  If all else fails you can
kill any process with `kill [process id]`, the Process ID can be found with
`ps -e`.  Or you can try my favourite "kill `pidof named`"  (no quotes!).

I haven't done this before  but my suggestion is to look at the
http_access directives in squid.conf

#  TAG: http_access
#   Allowing or Denying access based on defined access lists
#
#   Access to the HTTP port:
#   http_access allow|deny [!]aclname ...
#
#   Access to the ICP port:
#   icp_access  allow|deny [!]aclname ...


try

http_access allow password

and remove the other http_access rules, the main one is probably
http_access allow all

(don't remove it, just comment it out)

be sure to restart squid..

OT password required in squid

[Toto Gamez]

Hi,
I installed squid-2.4.STABLE6-6.7.3 new to it and Im trying to have a
certain IP to allow to browse the internet as the same time enter a
password. I already setup IP to browse the internet and it works fine, my
question is, "how can this allowed IP enter a password before they can
browse the internet.
I checked on the squid.conf  and found about "ncsa_auth". i added the ff
lines in my squid.conf

authenticate_program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/passwd
authenticate_children 5
acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED

but it doesn work client can browse the internet without any  password. Ismy
conf correct or do I missed something
How can I go about it and can you give me some examples


Thanks

Regards,
Toto

Ed, you are bound to get some developer hate mail over this one. Linux
is linux - a global development effort. To say that RH is more of a
packager than a developer outfit is a smack in the face of all the RH
developers who code for RH and donate that code back to the commons.
Which is about 100% of it as far as I can see. I know what you are
trying to say, but I think the message came out a bit twisted.

We have had the same issues with 3COM.   Netgear seems to work
just fine too!
 

for what its worth, and just to throw a monkey into the wrench...  I had 
a 3c905c for a long time and never had a problem with it...  ran from 
6.2  (that did require some work) through 7.3.  

I would ask this, how are your IPs assigned on this network.  Sounds 
like it could also be a case of the DHCP server having a lease time out, 
and that particular machine not renewing its lease.  which means that 
the server will, after the timeout period, no longer have a valid IP or 
will have no IP at all...

We used to get calls a lot from people with cable modems that had the 
same issues... their connection would drop at certain intervals and 
never come back up... turns out that hte cable provider assigned all IPs 
via DHCP, and at somewhere between 3am and 5 am, every subscribers IP 
lease would be renewed, and in some cases, the client machine would not 
update itself... and hence, drop the connection.

so waht happens if, after the machine drops off your network, if you do 
a service network restart???

Han Solo:  "Fast?  Yeah, she's fast.  She made the Kessel run in

Which makes sense only if the "kessel run" is some kind of benchmark
other than a DISTANCE benchmark, i.e., if they're benchmarking something
whose ultimate goal is to be achieved over some variable distance,
and 12 parsecs is a record-setting distance. But of course, even that
doesn't make much sense, it's just a bit of flotsam/jetsam on the sea
of stupid movie lines.
 

Oddly enough, and still off topic, there is a reason that Han Solo said 
that.

Strictly star wars speaking, the kessel run was a smugglers run from the 
planet Kessel to a point out in space.  Now, the problem with this run 
was that there was a place in the vicinity of the system that Kessel is 
in called the Maw, which is basically an area that contained numerous 
black holes that created gravitic anomolies that made it impossible to 
jump to light speed (as it were in that universe).

Until the point at which Han and Chewie, in the Millineum Falcon broke 
the record on the Kessel run, ships went a certain path (read arc) 
around the maw.  and the length of that arc varied depending oh how 
close a ship came to the maw so, the closer you flew to the event 
horizon, the shorter your distance from one point on the arc to another. 
Hence the parsec quantifier.  basically, the trip from Kessel to the 
safe point normally took something like 15 parsecs worth of distance as 
the ships had to travel a pretty good arc around the area of black 
holes.  Han did it in under 12 parsecs, meaning that he had cut it that 
much closer to the maw than anyone else had ever done.

by the way...  whats wrong with using parsecs as distance?  that is what 
they are...

1 parsec = 3.09E13 km = 3.26 lightyears.

Of course, picturing a 12pc arc and a 15pc arc with the same start and 
stop points would make a good example to look at, but in astronomical 
terms, that would mean that hte typical (and 15 is just a guess) parsec 
trip would be roughly 9.27e13 km longer than the record setting run that 
Han did...

or in other words...

the normal trip is about 463,500,000,000,000km and Han's trip was 
roughly 370,800,000,000,000km long, saving roughly 92,700,000,000,000km

roughly of course...  my astronomical math is a little rusty... I havent 
really used it in ages..

I took a bit of a shortcut, and rather surprisingly, it appears to work.

I have Sun's j2re prm package installed. I downloaded and extracted the 
blackdown java compiled with gcc 3.2 and copied just the plugin to 
/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/ns610/javaplugin_oji.so

I removed the existing libjavaplugin_oji.so link in 
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, and created a new one pointing to the new 
plugin (javaplugin_oji.so). Seems to work fine.

did you check the wine compadiblity database?

what version of wine?

this comment claims the enterprise version works good:

http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=94&versionId=1325

there are 2 other comments about the standard visual basic which
say it does not work:

http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=94&versionId=130


perhaps one of the commercial versions of wine will work better,
or, worst case, VMWAre, win4lin or similar emulation/virtualization
software.

Re: wine

[David Busby]

That error message is a Windows Error Message, the real error code is found
after masking off the high order of that "DWORD" (their name).  So you get
an error code of 0x, which is 65535.  Windows error code 65535 is not
defined.  So now it looks like some bug in Wine (which version are you
using?) or VB (very possible) is where the error is.  Of course if this
error is from an "Add In" module for VB6, (i.e Resource Manger,Setup
Packager,etc) then the problem is almost 100% in that "Add-In", theres many
bugs there. Do you have SP5 applied to your VB6?  I would start there.
Perhaps wine has put some nice message in your logs?

Re: Starting and stopping bind

[David Busby]

Try /etc/init.d/named stop
  The scripts in /etc/init.d/ (really /etc/rc.d/init.d) 
are used to start and stop "services" (daemons).
If you `cd /etc/init.d/` and then `ls` you can see all of the 
good stuff.  Also `setup` will give a nifty UI for this stuff.  If all 
else fails you can kill any process with `kill [process id]`, the Process ID can 
be found with `ps -e`.  Or you can try my favourite "kill `pidof 
named`"  (no quotes!).

one thought this thread reminded me of..last year I had a system
with 2 x 3COM 3C905B cards in it .. Typically 3COM 3C905B is among
my favorite card, I have several systems that have NEVER had a problem
(btw I only have 1 redhat box, everything else is debian, with home
brew kernels). But this one system started acting up once I maxxed
out the ram(1.5GB, board supported 1.5GB max). Every once in a while
the system would drop off the network totally. There was a buncha
errors in the kernel log, and resetting the network interface
(/etc/init.d/network restart in debian) always fixed it. Ended up
having to put a serial console on the thing so I could reset it
from remote. Ended up replacing the cards with intel cards after
a few months, and the problem stopped, though the system was only
up for perhaps a month with the intel cards before I had to take
it down(for other reasons).

I don't have copies of the kernel messages anymore the system
is long since ripped apart and allocated to other systems.

check the kernel log again next time it happens. I know you
said you didn't see anything in the log :) but still, run
dmesg >/root/kernel.log and post it on a website or ftp so
people can check JUST incase!

But my other systems with 3COM cards work flawlessly, Probably
2 dozen of em. Infact I've had more problems on the eepro side
then on the 3com side which is why I favor the 3com, specifically
3C905B/3C905C (*NOT* the 3C905C-TXNM or whatever it is, the half
height card).

just another data point.

Aterm and colorized directories...

[Peter N. Spotts]

Folks,

A silly question, but how does one configure ATERM to invoke colored
type when listing directories after giving the dir command? I seem to
recall on another distribution, which shall remain nameless, bringing up
a terminal and running dir would give a display that used color to
distinguish between directories, data files, executables, etc. Or has
that feature gone the way of the dinosaurs? Running man aterm yielded
lots of command choices, but no clear guidance.

Best regards,

Pete

does it drop off and come back eventually by itself? or no? what
does

ifconfig show when it drops off? what kind of network card? is
the link

light on when the system is 'dropped' off the network or not?

Re: Version 7.1 or 7.2 Shared Program Text

Thanks Nate.

 I would feel better but one of our client machines
just had a panic yesterday reporting that it could not fork due to
memory.  We have only 64 users and 2GB of RAM.   The same
machine with a 2.2 kernel has more users, shows different TOP
output (800,000K of shrd memory), and has never had a similar
panic for over a year.

this is normal. 2.4.x doesn't report shared memory in a way that
is reportable by top/free/snmp. The kernel does have shared memory
support, without such support I think most programs would cease
to function :)
/dev/shm (tmpfs filesystem) seems to be the future, it provides
SYSV shared memory, but from what I read, not many things use
SYSV shared memory yet.. POSIX shared memory is provided elsewhere.
I am uncertain how to measure shared memory on a linux 2.4.x system.

run google searches for 'shared memory linux 2.4' and 'shm filesystem'
and some variations if you need more info. but the information your
seeing is considered normal, and there is shared memory support in
the kernel. so no need to panic.

Well at first I did have a problem where that server couldn't make
connections outbound but that was quickly resolved.

I tried updating CPAN by doing an "install Bundle::CPAN" but it also
thought that CPAN was up to date as well.

I didn't notice any differences in permissions after renaming the old file
and letting CPAN recreate it.

Hmmm

RE: System Drops off Network

[Dan Donathan]

I find that odd (though believable) that on of the most popular network
cards in existence has a problem in RHL 8. I remember having problems
with NICs in RHL 5 or 6, but 8?

I suppose I'll try a different brand (Netgear's always been good to me),
but part of me wants to try and stick it out and figure this issue out.

	ifconfig show when it drops off? what kind of network card? is

Re: Difference between Mozilla 1.3 gtk2 and xft?

[Michael Mansour]

Hi,

Yes, I tried it out and it is fast.

I moved back to Mozilla 1.3b though, since I liked the
j2re rpm release (which SUN supplied on their website)
and is compatible with Mozilla 1.3b.

I didn't have any issues with running Mozilla 1.3b
either - not to say that I had any with Mozilla 1.3 -
just that when going to the Blackdown project site,
and downloading their j2re 1.4.1-01 compiled under gcc
3.2, it was a bit of a pain to install due to the
"tarball and follow instructions" to install that and
the web version.

I like the RPM version better, it's cleaner and
requires less "leg work" when upgrading.

I emailed both Sun and Blackdown as to whether they'll
release an RPM version for j2re 1.4.1 compiled under
gcc 3.2 under Red Hat 8.x... no reply yet...

this is normal. 2.4.x doesn't report shared memory in a way that
is reportable by top/free/snmp. The kernel does have shared memory
support, without such support I think most programs would cease
to function :)

/dev/shm (tmpfs filesystem) seems to be the future, it provides
SYSV shared memory, but from what I read, not many things use
SYSV shared memory yet.. POSIX shared memory is provided elsewhere.

I am uncertain how to measure shared memory on a linux 2.4.x system.

run google searches for 'shared memory linux 2.4' and 'shm filesystem'
and some variations if you need more info. but the information your
seeing is considered normal, and there is shared memory support in
the kernel. so no need to panic.

Version 7.1 or 7.2 Shared Program Text

[Joe Lewinski]

Hello,

I have a 2.4.7-10 #1 kernel that appears to not share program

See the output of top below:


  7:03pm  up 5 days,  5:57,  8 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

64 processes: 63 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped

CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% system,  0.0% nice, 100.0% idle

Mem:  2059904K av, 2049084K used,   10820K free,   0K shrd,   56740K
buff   
Swap: 2096440K av,   0K used, 2096440K free 1546160K
cached 


Notice the "0K shrd" (meaning ZERO K).

Is there a tunable parameter that enables / disables the kernel to
share program text?

Thanks in advance,

Re: Backup MS SQL Database

[David Busby]

To get MS into a PG database I had to use the MS-SQL Enterprise Manager that
allowed me to "Script the Database".  This made some non SQL92/99 compliant
scripts for the schema of the database that I then had to edit to work with
my PG install (7.2.x).  Then I used some VBScript code to connect to both
databases and drag the data across.  I hated every minute of it.  It was not
very efficient but it did get the job done.  Every time I see a post like
this it reminds me to work on this code I started that would create the
necessary PgSQL Schema code from an MS-SQL DB.

Your English is perfect - better than some of the requests from native
English members!

Check for /sbin/mii-tool.  It's part of the net-tools package and
allows you to force the NIC to 10mbs at either full- or half-duplex.

SUMMARY: Changing the mount point?

[Richardson, Robert]

Title: SUMMARY: Changing the mount point?





Hi,
Ed Greshko hit it on the head (thanks).
He suggested that I change the second column of the /etc/fstab file.
Since I had not added any data to these filesystems his instructions were
easy to follow.


I completed the following steps:
1. umount /usr/local
2. service nfs stop   <-- /export is to be nfs mounted.

If you have not added any data to /export and /usr/local it is a simple
matter of editing the /etc/fstab file to switch the mount points in the
second column.  If you have already put data in either of these locations
you just have to add a step copy the data.


After you do thatjust reboot.

[Sort-of OT] linux converter for .MAG format?

[Michael Pelley]

Hi All,

This is sort-of off-topic, but if any group would know, they probably are
here ;-)

Anyway, I have a huge number of FileMagic .MAG scanned images that I'd like
to either convert directly to PDF or, if that isn't possible, to have it
convert to some *good* (i.e., high quality) format that I can use to get to
PDF.  As I've been burdened with a huge number, I'd like to be able to do
this in a batch mode.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Mike

if nothing on the system has changed(that includes the system not being

It drops and does not come back until a reboot. Will check on ifconfig. NIC is a 3Com

does it drop off and come back eventually by itself? or no? what does
ifconfig show when it drops off? what kind of network card? is the link
light on when the system is 'dropped' off the network or not?

check to be sure ip_forwarding is enabled
redhat 6.2 I think comes stock with 2.2.x kernel, so
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
if it says 0 then:
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
also check your firewall rules:
ipchains -L -n

Re: DSL connection on LAN with RedHat 6.2 server has failed.

[William Dolphin]

I'm willing to try anything, but it was working with current
settings but now is not.
No router, just a pair of "dumb" switches. The server uses the
DSL gateway, but sets a different one for the computers on the
LAN.
The gateway IP for the internal computers is currently set for the LAN
(i.e. xxx.xxx.xxx.1, with workgroup computers as xxx.xxx.xxx.131, 144,
etc) 
If I reset the internal computer's gateway to the DSL IP, I don't think
they'll see each other.
Or am I missing something?

System Drops off Network

Hello All,
 
List newbie. Excuse any faux pas. 
 
I have a system that ran Windows 2000 and all the trimmings. Now that RHL 8.0 is 
loaded, it randomly drops off the network. The system doesn't lock and I can't seem to

Re: Mounting SMBFS from fstab

She was part of a user made group(that already had permission to every

wouldn't use it for the samba mounts so I just added her to the  users

Problem with Samba

hi all, 
i'm using samba 2.2.3a on rh7.3. my samba server also is a dc.i've made a share for my

when i access the share from my client(win2kpro) it accesses it well but again when i 
try ejecting 
the cd i get a message saying, device or resource busy. i checked the processes and 
found that 
the samba server creates a single process for each user. so, i access data on to my 
server from a 
share named STUFFS as well as access my share CDROM, to eject i've got to 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb 
restart my smb server which also kill the STUFFS process.  
note: under linux to linux it's working fine..

DSL connection on LAN with RedHat 6.2 server has failed.

[William Dolphin]

Hi all,

I'm a linux dunce trying to straighten out a sudden internet connection 
problem for a LAN server running Red Hat 6.2.

Small mixed LAN (win/mac) on Linksys dumb switches was fully operational 
and stable, no hardware or software changes. DSL connection went down 2 
days ago. Server reboot fixed, but went down again yesterday and won't come 
back.

DSL works on direct connection to workgroup computer. Workgroup computers 
work on LAN. Server can ping from internet IP to DSL gateway IP and to 
PacBell DNS IP. Workgroup computers can ping server network and internet 
IPs, but not DSL gateway or PacBell.

RedHat tech support refuses help. RH knowledgebase no help either.

Any suggestions?

Many Thanks,

William Dolphin

  OOps, I spoke too soon. while plain rpm worked, synaptic still caused RPM to
 segfault "error:sub-process /bin/rpm returned a segmentation fault"
   Any help?

Thanks Ed  

I got it to work.  I had to put in slightly different parameters.
/dev/sda1   /mnt/usb-keyvfatnoauto,user,rw  0
0

I don't understand the reason for the difference.

Changing the mount point?

[Richardson, Robert]

Title: Changing the mount point?





Hi,
I have just installed rh 7.3 and realized that I configured two mount points
in the reverse order that I wanted.  I actually wanted /export to have 
120GB of space, and /usr/local to have 10GB of space.
My df output is:
Filesystem 1k-blocks  Used Available  Use%    Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2    8064048    875736   6778680   12% /
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 197546 23755    163592   13% /boot
/dev/cciss/c0d0p6  119659156 58552 11354    1% /usr/local
/dev/cciss/c0d0p5   10079868 32828   9535004    1% /export


I really want it to be:
Filesystem 1k-blocks  Used Available  Use%    Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2    8064048    875736   6778680   12% /
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 197546 23755    163592   13% /boot
/dev/cciss/c0d0p6  119659156 58552 11354    1% /export
/dev/cciss/c0d0p5   10079868 32828   9535004    1% /usr/local



How can I permanently switch these two mount points without a re-install?

really don't think so. but the MS SQL admin interface has a tool that
allows you to dump the database to a text file, which can easily be
backed up. Not sure what the tool is called since I've never used MS SQL
but one of my co workers did and thats what he did for backups.

similar to mysqldump.

what I would do ...

1) logout from all terminals
2) login as root at the console(no X preferably)
3) make a subdir under each of your current mount points e.g.

mkdir /export/usrlocal ; mkdir /usr/local/export

move the files from /export to /usr/local/export (excluding the usrlocal dir
of course)

move the files from /usr/local to /export/usrlocal (excluding the export
dir of course)

umount /usr/local
umount /export

next mount the devices as you want them to be in their new positions
mount  /usr/local
mount  /export

cd /export ; mv export/* .
cd /usr/local ; mv usrlocal/* .
rmdir /export/export
rmdir /usr/local/usrlocal

edit /etc/fstab to reflect the changes so next time you boot it
comes up the way you want.

thats it.


sound complicated? maybe.. there may be an easier way to do it
but thats what I'd do.

of course backup any data you want to keep before doing this
operation just incase something goes wrong.

   I just did a google on the problem, though, and found this page...
www.rpm.org/hintskinks/repairdb  and followed the suggestions there, i.e.
  rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db001
  rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db002
  rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db003

(yes, I had 3. All appeared to be corrupted gibberish)
 then,

 rpm -vv --rebuilddb

 then tested rpm with a package of icons I had laying aroundand guess what? It 
worked!

RE: Palm m105

[mjb]

check your permissions on /dev/pilot or, if /dev/pilot doesn't exist, to
/dev/ttyS0 (the port commonly called com1).  If you are not root you may
not have access to that port.

The permissions on that port may be set to only allow root rwx access. 
Use the chmod command to grant permission to your user account.

while it is quite rare in my experience these days, it is possible
that your wtmp/utmp(I forget which, or both?) could be partially
curropted. That results in skewed output from w/finger/who.

did that person from spamhaus.org send the original spam to you with
full headers? If not, ask them for it, it's standard procedure when
reporting spam to include such information.

another thing to check is netstat, if the system is not heavily
trafficed running netstat -an may show if there is another user
logged into the system(perhaps an intruder). Of course if the
system is compromised for whatever reason all bets are off.

setting up a log server is a good idea. also, not completely
related but may help.. a month or 2 ago I was troubleshooting
a friend's mandrake box who was relaying spam. turns out his
cable modem's NAT implimentation was broken. He had his real
(static) IP in the lists of systems to allow relay, but inbound
connections to the system ALL showed comming from his real
IP instead of the IP of the remote host. Resetting the modem
would fix the problem, but a few minutes later it would start
occuring again. Since he didn't need his real IP in that list
we removed it. He's since migrated to another router model.

luckily his ISP was friendly(rr.com), and didn't cut his account
off or do anything other then warn him about the open relay. even
though technically I think he is not allowed to run a SMTP server
on that kind of connection.

that's normal. it means the user is logged in via X11 display #0. Nothing
is in the from column because the user is on the local console.

as for listing the IP, that is odd how it does not do it for your SSH
connection.. do any of the other commands show the IP? I use 'w'
normally but 'finger' should show the info as well.

there's probably a way to turn it on so it starts on boot but I don't
know what the 'official' redhat 'way' is to do this.

not directly related, but on my systems when I want to share a CD,
I make an ISO image of it, and mount the image via loopback. That way
the contents of the CD are available through the image, on samba, and
you never need to eject a CD. I've had up to 30 ISO images mounted on
linux(this usually requires tweaking the kernel source, I think the
default limit is ~8).

otherwise check this page out it may help:

this is a "known" issue.

that's normal. it means the user is logged in via X11 display #0. Nothing
is in the from column because the user is on the local console.

as for listing the IP, that is odd how it does not do it for your SSH
connection.. do any of the other commands show the IP? I use 'w'
normally but 'finger' should show the info as well.

Didn't rxvt also get updated recently?  Could that be the culprit?
Search your rpm listing by install date to make sure.
#!/bin/bash

rpm -qa --queryformat '%{installtime} %{name}-%{version}-%{release}
%{installtime:date}\n' | sort -g | sed -e 's/^[^ ]* //'
