In RH 7.3, this was easily overcome with a little script that hooks into Window Maker's menu structure. It would automatically display evertything that was installed "the official way" on RH 7.x (i.e. used the same menu files as official RPMs and would therefore show up in KDE/GNOME). If anybody is interested, I'll make it available.It's based on the kde2wm.pl, which can be found on the web. If RH8/9 still use the same menu structure as RH7.x, that script will work on those as well.

Re: Ideas for a BIG project!
So far, I think the best sollution for the development problem will probably be the NEW Red Hat: http://rhl.redhat.com/about/ It will accelerate development of the operating system and applications by allowing developers to participate in the project and will reduce the release cycle to as little as 4 month while still emphacising security and stability, as most of the packages will be eventually included in Red Hat's enterprise products.

I've heard discussion that it will be possible to purchase different levels of support from RH for those who feel they need it. That would be in line with the stated objective of becoming more a service and support oriented organization. There's also been discussion that the planned process will include availability of security and generalized updates for RPM's maintained as a part of the iso's. They also, apparantly, intend and hope that the new model will provide a larger base of software packaged as RPM's, and updated on a more frequent basis. The gist of what I'm seeing on several lists I participate in is that the goals are to provide even more capability and baseline to the general users. The expanded capability and baseline will be filtered and stabilized even more to provide the commercial product lines that will be continued into the future. I've not seen anything to even hint that Red Hat intends to abandon their commitment to open source software. best rickf -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I've got a RH 8 box doing DHCP serving and DNS serving for my local network. The DNS is also set up to cache and forward queries for hosts outside my network. When a Windows box (2000, NT, ME, or XP) comes along, it gets assigned an IP address by DHCP. It also shows up with its IP address in the DNS for the local network. When a RH 8 box comes along, it gets assigned an IP address by DHCP. However, it does NOT show up in DNS. This drove me nuts for a while, and I spent a lot of time looking through documentation and web references. I finally "solved" the problem by setting all of the Linux boxes to have fixed IP addresses, and manually added them to the DNS server. I am not happy with this "solution", though. Any fix to get Linux boxes with floating DHCP assigned IP addresses to appear in the DNS tables would be appreciated. Apparently this can be done by BIND - although I've never gotten it to work. Also, there's another DNS daemon out there (dnsjb or something like that), which is apparently smaller than named AND supports dynamic updating through DHCP, however, I've never tried it, because there wasn't enough testimony to say it was good, great or even secure. There's also scripts available on the web which scan the leases file and update DNS accordingly - I also have never gotten THAT to work. Part of the problem is I don't understand enough about BIND. The concept of creating different 'zones' and stuff is all beyond me. I'm using it as a caching nameserver only and that seems OK. I'm way too good at breaking things to risk screwing things up.

I can't think of anything on a SCO box I can't do with Linux.

They know that once it is identified, it will get rewritten and their multi-billion dollar extortion effort will vanish in the blink of an IP. But from reading the claims, they seem to believe that they own the *idea* of Unix. I just wish that IBM would stomp on them soon. The waiting is not helping anyone at this point. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

No, they're not being arrogant; they're trying to stay in business, provide a good product line & services, and cut losses. This has been discussed elsewhere, and the bottom line is that a very high percentage of people running RH Linux releases buy _NOTHING_ from RH. They just download. Development, testing, and packaging of boxed sets costs money, and doesn't usually even pay for itself at this point. So what can they do? People who can't/don't want to download the ISO's and spin their own CD's will have to work through cheapbytes or one of the other groups that provide a cd set for about $5.00. They currently have to relabel RH to another name, but that's the only change made. In the future they may not even have to do the renaming; they may just have to pay a small fee to provide the ISO's without name changing. This would be a good thing. RHN is also supposed to continue, so you'll be able to get about the same level of support for your free/cheap installation. best rickf -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

You should be able to get into single user mode via grub.
-At the grub menu hit "e"
-chose the line starting with kernel, add "single", and hit enter
-hit "b" to boot
If you can't do this because you have a grub password you can't
remember, or something. Use the redhat install cdrom and type "rescue"
at the initial prompt before the cdrom boots.

IF you have been hacked, you should just backup your data and reinstall.
Are you sure theres no other way you could have lost your /etc/passwd
file? That's basically the problem - /etc/passwd is either missing or
corrupted - and thus it can't find the root user. I don't think shadow
has much to do with it.
If you can copy /etc/passwd from a good RH machine of the same version,
and then run the passwd command from single-user mode, you should be at
least in a little better shape.

Solaris<->RH8 Backup
I need to backup a Solaris 8 system (actually parts therein) to a RH8 box. I am currently doing that using a simple scp (secure copy) script. The RH8 filesystem is ext3. Question 1) When I copy the files over (all normal files), they occupy 2-3 times the space. Why? Question 2) is there a cleaner way to do this? I read recently where someone suggested rsync. I am investigating whether that is an option on the Solaris side.

Alternatives to KDE/Gnome?
KDE seems to run better than Gnome w/RH9 (for me - YMMV). Nevertheless both environments seem to have gone way over the top. There MUST be alternatives that are less ponderous. I'm much more interested in efficiency and speed than pretty displays, animations or other visual effects that add nothing to usability.

Re: Root is GONE
IF you have been hacked, you should just backup your data and reinstall.
Are you sure theres no other way you could have lost your /etc/passwd
file? That's basically the problem - /etc/passwd is either missing or
corrupted - and thus it can't find the root user. I don't think shadow
has much to do with it.
If you can copy /etc/passwd from a good RH machine of the same version,
and then run the passwd command from single-user mode, you should be at
least in a little better shape.

Sound in RedHat 8.0.
I posted this issue some time ago but got no answer, that could help me resolve it, so, here I am again, in hope of getting some better help this time: No matter what I do, I cannot get any sound out of my system, except for the various dings & clicks of the user interface in Gnome. I am trying to use the CD & audio players in Gnome or in KDE but nothing is heard (although the applications seem to work O.K.). I am confident that my sound card (ESS Maestro3) is recognised by the OS at boot time, since the system log mentions its name and configuration (identical to those derived under Windows XP). As an additional proof of evidence, I get the sounds of the Gnome UI. The only thing, that troubles me, is the following messages (in various parts of the system log): modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-3, modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0, modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1. I strongly suspect that the roots of my problem are in these messages. What do they mean and what should I do in order to resolve this?

Problem with Perl -MCPAN...installing extras
Hello everyone. Im using RH 9.0 I was trying to install some additional perl items with perl -MCPAN today when I came across a problem and im unsure how to fix it. I was trying to install: Archive::Zip when I received this error: CPAN.pm: Going to build N/NE/NEDKONZ/Archive-Zip-1.06.tar.gz Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Warning: I could not locate your pod2man program. Please make sure, your pod2man program is in your PATH before you execute 'make' Writing Makefile for Archive::Zip Makefile:88: *** missing separator. Stop. /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible I thought I saw a link before that has a fix for the pod2man program, but I dont recall the link. Anyone know how I can fix this problem? I am also noticing that this is happening with other items I try to instal as well. Thanks.

Load Balancing & Round Robin
What would I need to setup two Apache servers to serve the same domain name using load balancing & round robin? Each user session must be limited to one server.

I do this all the time (as do a lot of web based services) by authenticating using PHP scripts. You can have sessions in PHP that time out after a period of inactivity and if someone else tries to use the page they will have to re-enter the username and password. You can allow access to other resources only through the script, though that may not be possible with some services. I've done this also. In this case, I also include META "refresh" tags on all pages to "refresh" the client page, but the "refresh" actually presents a "you have been logged out" page, just the same as if the user had clicked the "logout" option of my menu system.

Thanks to both of you. I first ran "rpm -ivh" from the shell and it got as far as GUI- went through the prep stage and then aborted with no error or other messages. I downloaded Red-Carpet and installed (went smoothly). Red Carpet ran the install and reported that timidity was already installed.
