Sweet Success
I just want to relate the happiness I have over the successful installation of yet another RedHat server for a small business customer of mine; They were in need of a low-cost, dependable server machine to be used as a file server and a printer server - a machine on which they could load a high-end architectural/accounting package; originally they were faced with spending upwards of $6000 (for a MS type box, of course); my total drop in cost for the box ended up being $2200 - loaded with RH9 + updates, Samba, MySQL, using SENDMAIL/FETCHMAIL/PROCMAIL + SpamAssassin, F-Prot and ClamAV - as well as being the gateway for an 802.11b 2.4ghz network in our area. Actual software load and configuration was one evening here at home - about 2 hours total; drop in on site with client machine configurations was one day. Done deal. No dramas, no sweat, no problems. Even had time to show the admin how to use VNC to access the server desktop; script was setup to backup to CDRW once per week. EZ as pie. Had this have been a Windows box I would have spent three days with it - for one thing or another - I'm used to that crap, and the monstrous size of the patches/updates/fixes. So, for anyone with any doubts, it's really easy - it's really simple. Plus, the customer was more than happy to know that they have IMAP/POP functionality, a proxy (privoxy) and a firewall - without license fees and BS associated. They even have a nice big round RH sticker on the front door now...(couldn't say No to the admin - was her idea). -- Wed Aug 20 16:35:01 EST 2003 16:35:01 up 2 days, 19:01, 1 user, load average: 0.29, 0.16, 0.05 - |____ | illawarra computer services| | /-oo /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | || | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 - * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * The Martian landed his saucer in Manhattan, and immediately upon emerging was approached by a panhandler.

RE: Input/output error
As I do not have any physical access to the server, I touched /forcefsck and reboot the server. Surprinsingly, I didn't find any fsck related logs in the different log files (boot.log, dmesg, messages.log). The fsck must have been performed since the /forcefsck has been removed. Do you know if this is logged elsewhere ? Tom Running any command that requires write access on the disk (touch /tmp/foo for instance) results in Input/output error. The only way I've found so far to get back to normal operation is to hard reboot the machine. After the reboot, the system works fine for a day/week/month and the same problem occurs again. Tom, As a first step towards solving this you need to run a manual fsck against your filesystem to see if there is anything wrong with it. Some filesystem corruption may be triggering the problem you're seeing. I'm pretty sure other people have seen the exact same problem as you.

RE: Input/output error
Running any command that requires write access on the disk (touch /tmp/foo for instance) results in Input/output error. What's dmesg say at that point? If you can't run dmesg, look at the messages log after you reboot to see if the kernel logged any errors prior to the reboot. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything relevant in the logs. My hosting provider claims that it has nothing to do with the server itself and that it is due to a software misuse. A few Linux admins told me that this could be related to a disk hardware or driver problem. Disk errors seems the most likely thing to me. Everybody seems to agree on that point but my hosting provider :-( Thanks, Tom -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I'd suggest you either upgrade to the most recent errata kernel and try his RH9 rpms, or use the source rpm to build your own packages: http://prism2.unixguru.raleigh.nc.us/kernel-wlan-ng-0.2.0-7.src.rpm Once you download/build them, simply install the kernel-wlan-ng, kernel-wlan-ng-pcmcia, and kernel-wlan-ng-modules packages.

Re: Sweet Success
Let me say upfront that I like Linux in general, and RedHat in particular. And (heresy!) I like MS products. 2 questions: -- what about the architectural/accounting package? -- who will maintain the OS and other various software updates? As far as dependability - when properly configured and used as intended, MS Servers are _very_ reliable. Cases in point: -- I have a Windows NT Server which has been processing our HTTP, SMTP and POP3 for more than 5 years. Total downtime is measured in hours, all of it in upgrading the web server software (not MS) and MS patches. We don't use it for anything other that what I spec'ed it for - a server. -- I have a Windows NT Server, used for user network authentication and print server. It's been in place for more than 5 years, less downtime than the web server. Again, it's used as intended and for nothing else. -- I have another WinNT Server, used as the Backup PDC, as the system console to our iSeries, and as an FTP server. Similar downtime as our other servers. The only time we've had trouble with any Windows box is because of lame users who install the latest worm or virus. Linux is less prone to that problem for now, but will not remain so as Linux desktops become more prevalent. And unmaintained Linux servers have a big ol' target on them, which will only get bigger over time. As for cost: did you (or the admin) consider Microsoft's Partner In Development program? It runs about US$1000/year, and gets you the latest Windows Server software, workstation software (XP these days), Office software, etc. With licenses for multiple installs of the non-Server software.

Moving partition
First off, I have a RAID array where I installed RedHat. I have the following partitions: /dev/sda2 as / /dev/sda1 as /boot /dev/sdb1 as /newRoot I have copied the / partition to /newRoot and want to mount /dev/sdb1 as /. I have tried editing grub.conf to point to /dev/sdb1 and modified /etc/fstab to change the mount points, but when booting after making the changes I get the following error: mount: error 6 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root (/sysroot,sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 freeing unused kernel memory: 304k freed kernel panic: no init found. try passing init=option to kernel Now the new drive is on a Promise SATA controller on the motherboard and I had to compile the driver within RedHat to get it to work properly. I think the reason for the error is that the driver for the new controller where / will be is not compiled into the kernel. Any suggestions on fixing this will be greatly appreciated.

What would you suggest or suggest avoiding? Funny you mentioned it, I've been dealing with just this issue today. I have a client that purchased a Dell PowerEdge 600SC server with internal IDE Travan 20/40 drive. The drive sucks. Others concur. Stay away from Travan drives unless you really enjoy beating your head against a wall. I can't really recommend anything without knowing your data/administrative requirements. For example, my client, a physical therapist, has around 5G of uncompressed (mainly binary) data. This isn't going to compress much, so it's unlikely that it'll fit onto a single DVD-R/W disc. Yes, we could dump it into split images and span media, but that's going to require him to perform the daily/weekly swaps. The other alternatives include hardware RAID and other type drive technologies. I'd love to see him use an external RAID setup, but that's not cheap. Neither are tape drives, but the short- and mid-term investment makes more sense. It's unlikely that he'll ever need the capactity of multiple external RAID drives. A new 20G DLT or DDS drive is more appropriate, but is still bound to set him [at the *very* least] $400. You can probably get some better deals on eBay, but you're not getting any warrantee. On the other hand, if it's a small amount of data and/or you can swap media yourself, CD-R/W would be a nice alternative. I still use it to backup my server and firewall configurations at home and office. You can get a super-speedy CD burner for less than $100 these days.

The site ran for 2+ years without even a minute of downtime. Patches were added without a need for reboot.

The only time we've had trouble with any Windows box is because of lame users who install the latest worm or virus. And the reason that virii/worms is so prevalent is time's up ... MS has made almost 0 effort over the years to protect against such things. They have actively encouraged the proliferation, IMO, by being so nonchalant about the issue and shipping OS's with known multiple vulnerabilities open by default. BG is making noises now about 'trust-worthy' computing, but it has been only a couple of years since he publically stated that MS would not provide technological solutions to the problem because it was a social issue and should be addressed by society as such. Outlook and IE are nothing but virus propogators; those who use them will get infected unless they do daily updates, and then there is still a risk. Linux is less prone to that problem for now, but will not remain so as Linux desktops become more prevalent. And they will maintain less prone since there is more protection in the OS against the proliferation of such things. As for cost: did you (or the admin) consider Microsoft's Partner In Development program? It runs about US$1000/year, and gets you the latest Windows Server software, workstation software (XP these days), Office software, etc. With licenses for multiple installs of the non-Server software.

What you are asking is, how can one control the use of such features? There are two philosophical positions: 1) such features should be under the control of the client, so each client can choose to use, or not use, the feature, or 2) such features are for the good of the community and all users must make use of the feature. In the first case, the control of the feature is via the printer control panel on each client. Use of the feature then becomes a training issue. In the second case, control of the feature moves to the server or to the printer! If the server the location one wants to set the control, then the server needs to be set to prepend the appropriate control codes to the print stream to enable/disable the feature. How this is done is dependent on which printing system is on the server. In the worst case scenario, one must write a print filter and associate it with the queue. Not all that difficult. But IMO in the case mentioned, if one wants to enforce use of the duplexer the best fix is to set the printer to duplex all jobs. No way for anyone to subvert the intent (if the server prepends control codes to my stream, I can have control codes embedded in my stream to counter what the server does). And yes, I have done duplexer control of an HP4050TN printer through a SAMBA shared Linux print queue.

fix the problem. The box is running on the REDHAT AS channel (using
RPM's I compiled from SRPMS) and the system is virgin RedHat RPM's.

kernel (it has been up for about 200 days). I have many other boxes
that are 100% identical to this problem system that are not having any
problems at all.
When logged into BADBOX I type
rsync -e ssh -r SMALL-DIR [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp
and it works fine as long as the SMALL-DIR directory has less than 2
dozen files and the files are less than 32KB in size.
As soon as I do rsync -e ssh -r BIG-DIR [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp
I get the following output:

files are there except for the BIG files.

RE: Moving partition
Well, first of all I don't see why it would be giving errors about ext3 partitions, but that's besides the point if you have copied the partition. You need to reinstall GRUB to point to the new partition. On sdb1 or sdb1. I don't remember the command it is something like grub-install /dev/sdb1. You can look it up in the GRUB manual. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:redhat-list- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christian Fredrickson Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 1:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Moving partition I have read the MAN on parted, but I don't see how this could help.

Re: What backup solution for direct-attach?
I'm looking for recommendations on backup software, scsi controller, and tape drive for use in backing up a single redhat server. I'd prefer something free but it needs to be low-overhead and reliable - hoping to keep cost low (aren't we always?). What software, controller, and tape drive works for you? What would you suggest or suggest avoiding? Funny you mentioned it, I've been dealing with just this issue today. I have a client that purchased a Dell PowerEdge 600SC server with internal IDE Travan 20/40 drive. The drive sucks. Others concur. Stay away from Travan drives unless you really enjoy beating your head against a wall. I can't really recommend anything without knowing your data/administrative requirements. For example, my client, a physical therapist, has around 5G of uncompressed (mainly binary) data. This isn't going to compress much, so it's unlikely that it'll fit onto a single DVD-R/W disc. Yes, we could dump it into split images and span media, but that's going to require him to perform the daily/weekly swaps. What I do is have two IDE drives in the machine, and then backup from one to the other. I know that if there's a catastrophic incident, say a fire, the data is gone, but it fits the ease of use and quickly back online criteria. And, of course, I just don't have the cash for a tape drive. :( Ben -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

You must create a symbolic link from the /etc/init.d/scriptname to /etc/rcX.d/SNNscriptname, where the X is the runlevel to run the script at bootup and the NN is the numerical orcer to start the scripts (the lowest numbers are started first).

Of course that is not to say I haven't been able to mis-configure a box from the command line.

Re: Sweet Success
Rick, The whole point of my previous post was to question the TCO of a Linux solution, not to say that Microsoft is any better or that Linux is any worse... True, MS Servers need to be patched from time to time - as do any other server offerings. These days MS Servers can download and install their own patches, with little admin intervention (I said can - I didn't say should); nothing new there. I was writing self-updating shareware more than 20 years ago. I personally have steered clear of IIS, opting instead for other web server software, and recommend that my customers use alternatives as well. Not having to deal with the issues involving IIS and Microsoft's FTP and Exchange servers has saved me untold amounts of time and money, even though we do use MS Server OSes. As for my downtime: aside from upgrading the web server software, an hour or two tops. Include the web server software upgrade - 8 hours at most. My other servers - a couple of hours at most. Over 5 years. To borrow a phrase from Ron Popeil, system administration should not be a set it and forget it enterprise; regular monitoring and patch installation is a fact of IT life. Ignoring recommended patches - whether from Redhat, Microsoft, IBM, or whomever - will bite you in the CPU one day. My concern is with _who_ will do the OS maintenance; if we have a knowledgeable person on-staff who can handle it along with their other duties, no problem. If we need to outsource that maintenance more TCO to be factored in. Never once has it been suggested that I recompile the Windows OS to get maximum performance from my computer; many's the time I've read re-compile the kernel in response to a question about Linux performance. I read stories where someone has seen a performance increase after replacing Windows with Linux, I personally have yet to see it. Anecdotally (ie, with no benchmarks) my Dell Latitude is about half as speedy running in Linux as it in Windows. To get the same performance from Linux, would I need to get a faster computer? Something else to factor into the TCO. You're implication about the size of our servers is spot on - we use little boxes for little jobs, big iron for big jobs. All covered during system analysis and requirements planning. It may be worth mentioning that we're not a Microsoft-only shop; we make use of whatever hardware/software makes sense for us, our customers, and the application at the time. I've no doubt that Linux will one day be in that mix. However hardened the OS may be, history has shown that Linux is not immune to attack - nor is any other OS that we can mention. Those who think otherwise are delusional at best. Clever hackers abound, and go after whatever they can get their grimy packets into. Some OSes are more secure than others. But if you get enough hackers going at an OS, they'll find a way in. For me, and probably 90%+ of the admins out there, it's far easier to recover from a security breech in a MS-based system (or network) than a Linux-based one. Why? Because it's what we know - and therefore is likely to be the least costly alternative. It would be _very_ expensive for me to try and figure which of the Linux config files _might_ be corrupted after an intrusion, and only slightly less expensive for me to hire a Linux expert (such as yourself) to clean up the mess. The Linux software may be free, but the services certainly are not. From $60 or so per hour for one-man shops to $185/hour or more for IBM Global Services, the costs add up and should be factored into any decision vis-a-vis platform dependence. I did qualify the PID program with if you qualify. Many are able to qualify, but don't for whatever reason(s). For small shops, it can be very tough to qualify for the MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network). An alternative, but still restricted, is the MS Action Pack Subscription ($299 to $399), aimed mainly at IT developers or consultants who will sell MS products, or solutions based on MS products (a custom Access database app might qualify). If you're in the IT business, work with customers who use MS products, and don't participate in this program - you're either wasting money or using borrowed software. True enough - customers still need to purchase their own copy of the software. That software also needs to be factored into TCO considerations as well. And as we all know, MS software is not cheap. Even Windows-based shareware can be expensive. In Linux, I use OpenOffice, Evolution, and various other freeware. Upgrading those to take advantage of new features is oft-times kludgy, requiring crossed-fingers and upgrades to other packages, ad infinitum. The Linux-based office suites are adequate for my needs, but anyone who considers themselves an MS Office power-user will likely be sorely disappointed in the Linux alternatives.

Trivial command line in Linux, done on running machine; registry key addition and reboot on NT. re-compile the kernel in response to a question about Linux performance. Of course. Distributions come with kernels with lots of stuff stashed in their that most folks never need. Slim it down, get better performance. If I have many similar computers, I recompile once and then distribute to many. Rather efficient.

In most cases I can scan their machines and find backdoors open on obscure ports, registry keys left in place that open other vulnerabilities, etc. 90%+ of Windows admins recover from incidents using a cookbook method: install this patch, reboot, run the virus scanner, delete all infected files ... blah blah blah. They do not understand enough to know that one penetration often engenders other intrusions, and the damage can be much broader than the simple situation they believe they have under control. Yes most admins are more comfortable fixing Windows problems, but that is because they do not understand the problems and are delusionally comfortable with following a cookbook. I stand by my statement about viruses and worms - as Linux desktops become more prevalent, so will the Linux-based malware. Why desktops? Because that's what the uninformed (1) will be using and abusing; the same type of problems we see on Windows desktops will be seen on Linux desktops. Yes, there will be malware, but the OS will provide *much* better protection and the scope of the problem will be less than what we have seen from the never-ending parade of stuff hitting the MS world. Not allowing users to change system configs (aka registry keys) and not allowing them to open all devices and ports, like most Windows user can, protects the machine, the network, and the world from most malware. There have been multiple attempts to introduce virii and worms into the *NIX world; so far only a few have succeeded (e.g., the Morris worm from the mid 80's); the *NIX world learned and moved away from giving services and users the types of access needed to propogate these beasts. - rick -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Some people might tell you that you should keep at least one older kernel on the system, in case something is wrong with you current one, and you need the older one to fall back on.

The admin is rather clue-ey and could very well take over doing the up2date herself - which would be even better. -- Thu Aug 21 08:10:00 EST 2003 08:10:00 up 3 days, 10:36, 1 user, load average: 0.04, 0.11, 0.06 - |____ | illawarra computer services| | /-oo /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | || | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 - * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * !07/11 PDP a ni deppart m'I !pleH -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
destroyed glibc!
A user, (who will no longer get root privileges) has totally messed up glibc, and the system no longer boots. All that he mentioned was something about libcommon and libc (glibc?). I can boot RedHat 9 into rescue mode from the CD-ROM. Since the hard drive is mounted to /mnt/sysimage, installing RPMs is difficult. What can I do to recover the system! Thanks, nw -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
