compile errors, what am I missing?
I upgraded the kernel from 2.4.18 to 2.4.20-18.7. I used rpm's and everything appeared to go ok. However, whenever I attempt to compile (make) anything, I get these errors. Here I am attempting sslproxy, but it does not matter. Always pthreadtypes and time comes up. I compared these header files with others on my various 2.4.x systems and they appear to be in good shape. Can anyone point me in the right direction here, recompile kernel, missing files, more source needed, bad gcc? /usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:48: parse error before `size_t' /usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:48: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union /usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:51: parse error before `__stacksize' /usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:51: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:52: warning: data definition has no type or storage class In file included from stdheaders.h:54, from sslproxy.c:14: /usr/include/time.h:179: parse error before `strftime' /usr/include/time.h:179: parse error before `size_t' /usr/include/time.h:181: warning: data definition has no type or storage classIn file included from /usr/include/sys/uio.h:29, from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:27, from stdheaders.h:55, from sslproxy.c:14: /usr/include/bits/uio.h:45: parse error before `size_t' /usr/include/bits/uio.h:45: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union In file included from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:35, from stdheaders.h:55, from sslproxy.c:14: /usr/include/bits/socket.h:232: parse error before `size_t' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:232: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union/usr/include/bits/socket.h:239: parse error before `}' /usr/include/bits/socket.h: In function `__cmsg_nxthdr': /usr/include/bits/socket.h:266: `size_t' undeclared (first use in this function)/usr/include/bits/socket.h:266: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /usr/include/bits/socket.h:266: for each function it appears in.) /usr/include/bits/socket.h:266: parse error before `__cmsg' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:271: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/include/bits/socket.h:271: parse error before `~' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:271: parse error before `)' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:272: arithmetic on pointer to an incomplete type /usr/include/bits/socket.h:274: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/include/bits/socket.h:274: parse error before `~' /usr/include/bits/socket.h:275: parse error before `>' In file included from stdheaders.h:55, from sslproxy.c:14: /usr/include/sys/socket.h: At top level: /usr/include/sys/socket.h:131: parse error before `size_t' /usr/include/sys/socket.h:136: parse error before `size_t' /usr/include/sys/socket.h:141: parse error before `size_t' /usr/include/sys/socket.h:149: parse error before `size_t' In file included from /usr/include/signal.h:322, from /usr/include/sys/wait.h:30, from stdheaders.h:59, from sslproxy.c:14: /usr/include/bits/sigstack.h:54: parse error before `size_t' /usr/include/bits/sigstack.h:54: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union/usr/include/bits/sigstack.h:55: warning: data definition has no type or storage class later, downsize -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

while expect is a grand tool, this is one area that continues to
frustrate me. I think that the solution is in the expect{} statement
for that logout portion of the script. I cant remember specifically how
I have dealt with that kind of problem, but try adjusting timeout
variable prior to the logout expect{}. Also might have expect look for
eof. The other possibility is that the session is closed prior to
getting to the logout. Also set log_user to 1 to see all the output.

Expect Tool problem
Hi all, I am using "expect" (TCL based) tool to automate some activities. By using "autoexpect", automating FTP activity, logging in to server and getting a file from it and logging out from server. As you know autoexpect is spawning another subshell for storing all ftp commands, that part is working fine. while using that commands script,which was generated by autoexpect it is giving problems.with that script, iam able to login and get that file but after that failing to logout. That is halting at that stage. In the man page of autoexpect, it says that "some scripts ignore key strokes that arrive quickly", for that we need to enable "conservative mode". I tried this option and also gave worst case sleep in between command sendings of expect script. But failed to "logout".

In a related situation I've backed up the server with dump and have a DLT with all the partitions backed up. I then proceeded to rm -r /usr and attempt to restore the /usr partition. (server is not on line yet) I found that when booting the RH AS 2.1 CD and selecting the "recovery" mode, it nicely mounts the partitions for me under /mnt/sysimage but I have no access to the tape drive as the device is missing (/dev/st0). I've tried "insmod st" and "mknod /dev/st0 c 9 0" and I get no errors but the tape device doesn't seem to be there. How do those of you running servers do bare metal backup and restore? I also tried booting a SuSE CD and I can see the tape drive with it but I can't mount the darn partitions with "mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 /mnt" The device is there but it says "not a proper block device". I've also tried "timos", a nice version of Linux for recovery purposes and it recognizes the RAID and SCSI controllers and the DLT tape but consistantly hangs during the boot process so I never get a command prompt. I can't seem to get there from here... Any help is greatly appreciated.

Drawing software with formula editor
Hello, A bit OT, but does anyone knows any drawing software that can put mathematical formula in the drawing? Nothing fancy with the drawing, just some basic rectangles, lines, poligons stuff (for more like schematics / diagram), and probably not anything too fancy with math formula either. Right now even, I just need to be able to put text, subscript and superscript in it. I've search and search, and haven't came up with anything. Open office drawing programs kinda suck, I can even align or have something like "snap to grid" to properly lay out my drawing, DIA cannot put sub/superscript in text, Kontour crashed on my too many times and I couldn't find a way to put sub/superscript. I would think that something like this should be available. It would be nice if it can export the drawing to eps/ps, for insertion to latex file, or to common raster format: eg JPEG, PNG.

But when I try and access it through: http://192.168.0.7:8080 I > am unable to bring anything up. Assuming your clients are on the same network segment, this won't work without also performing SNAT. By default, your routing tables dictate that all local LAN traffic gets sent directly, rather than through the default route. This means that any return traffic from the server to the client will be sent straight back to the client, rather than through the "forwarder" box. As far as your client goes, it's expecting to see a SYN/ACK return packet from 192.168.0.7, not 192.168.0.5. ## Example traffic: Client (192.168.0.10) sends packet to 192.168.0.7:8080 (source 192.168.0.10:, destination 192.168.0.7:8080) RedHat box forwards packet (DNAT) to Solaris server (source 192.168.0.10:, destination 192.168.0.5:80) Solaris box receives packet, sends response to Client (source 192.168.0.5:80, destination 192.168.0.10:) ## The Client is going to see the packet and drop it. Here's what you want to happen: Client (192.168.0.10) sends packet to 192.168.0.7:8080 (source 192.168.0.10:, destination 192.168.0.7:8080) RedHat box forwards packet (DNAT & SNAT) to Solaris server (source 192.168.0.7:, destination 192.168.0.5:80) Solaris box receives packet, sends response to Client (source 192.168.0.5:80, destination 192.168.0.7:) Redhat box reverses translation (DNAT & SNAT), forwards packet to Client (source 192.168.0.7:8080, destination 192.168.0.10:) Hope this makes sense. I run into this situation routinely, this is what some refer to as "reflection".

I've narrowed it down to PureFTP (http://pureftpd.org/index.shtml) and ProFTPD (http://www.proftpd.org) Which one should I use? _ Devon Harding System Administrator Gilat Latin America 954-858-1600 [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail is intended for the above named addressee(s), and may contain information which is confidential or privileged.

Re: Installing GRUB over NTLDR help (solved)
Hate to reply to my own post, but I found the problem. I didn't realize that grub-install was segfaulting. I had to use mkbootdisk to create a boot disk which I use to boot into linux, where I ran grub-install '(hd0)' which fixed everything.

wireless USB adapter drivers
I recently added a Netgear wireless router to my home network (Mac OS X). Since routers tend to have a common denominator, getting it to work with my Mac OS X/Linux mixed network was a piece of cake. The router kit came with a "free" wireless USB adapter (Netgear MA 101). Netgear has no information on getting this to work with Linux/Mac OS X/Unix. It's a wireless NIC. Just in a USB housing. Anybody out there with experience on Linux with wireless NICs in USB housings?

Thanks. I'm not sure I understand your problem but here it goes: "man syslogd" shows -x Disable name lookups when receiving remote messages. If your syslog is not resolving IPs to names, could it be running with -x flag ? Also check your /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

Iptables Help Needed
Hi Guys, I am trying to forward port 8080 on my redhat 8.0 box to port 80 on my solaris box and I have done the following so far: Made sure that I have a "1" in my /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward file and issued the following command: iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -d 192.168.0.7 --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.5:80 I have made sure that apache is running on 192.168.0.5:80 by directly access the site. But when I try and access it through: http://192.168.0.7:8080 I am unable to bring anything up.

Looks like you're trying to run the installer as a different user than the one you logged in as. I suggest you ssh to the remote machine as the user you intend to run the program as (oracle?).

Installing GRUB over NTLDR help
Hello, I tried installing w2k3 server on a second hardrive on my laptop. The install failed, but it installed NTLDR over grub. I used the RH9 cd as a rescue cd, chrooted to /mnt/sysimage and ran grub-isntall '(hd1,1)', but it didn't seem to work. I tried booting to a win98 disk and trying format /mbr, but that didn't work.

Xwindows freezes (computer) after non-root Gnome login
Hi, Don't know what I've done this time. In the last day or so, whenever I login as non-root at the redhat (9) login prompt, Gnome starts to load for about a second or two but then everything freezes (including mouse) before even the redhat splash screen comes up. This problem does not happen when I login as root, neither does it happen (bizarely enough) when I login as root, logout again and then login as non-root. So basically it only appears to happen if I try to login as non-root straight after booting or restarting the computer. I had a look in the XFree86 logs, and at the bottom I'm noticing a line: AUDIT: Mon Aug 18 13:22:29 2003: 1310 X: client 4 rejected from local host which might be related. Anybody have ideas or maybe a procedure for diagnosing the problem (new to linux and very clueless) cheers Stu C -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Logwatch actually has a separate RT314 mod but the format is terrible (it would be easier to start from scratch). One of these days there will be a default format for these log files.

RH9 and memory leak ?
Hi, I have installed a RH9 box on a Dual XEON 3Ghz, with 1GB of memory and two 36GB RAID 1 SCSI hard drive. The kernel is 2.4.20-19.9smp I have a big problem. I have today only one local sendmail running, and mrtg. Afer one week, I have a little message on the console: (CRON) error (can't fork) (CRON) error (can't fork) I watched with SAR what happened ... and I saw that there was not enough memory If I do a TOP, or PS, all processes are eating in total something like 1% of memory Very strange. Anyone had this problem ? Do I need to compile a new kernel ? -- Cedric -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Utilities like analog have a similar problem - the logged data is typically in numeric form and you want a domain name. I run dnstran on my system which runs through the log and does the dns translations and caches the results for analog. dnstran runs hourly (I think) and does a nice job. You might be able to use a similar approach for your log file.

Remote message domain resolution??
Some of you display astonishing ingenuity at finding solutions to the most arcane problems. Our RT314 log is routed to one machine and prints to "messages" with the "r"option. Using a tail I can get an idea of what's going on. It would really help if I could get domain name resolution. Before I resort to trying to write a script to parse the data, I thought I would see if I might be overlooking a simpler solution. Any ideas?
