 - One onsite box mounting both storage boxes' nbd devices in raid1 and
   receiving/performing backups

Doesn't the fast fiber connection cost on a monthly basis?  So you go from
a fixed cost solution to a monthly cost.  It might be cost effective to
start but for how long will that remain true?

Abiword 2.0.aaarrrrrghghghhghgh

2003-09-19 Thread mark
Well, I've been *trying* to install AbiWord 2.0.

Emphasis on the trying. It is *very* trying.

I try the SuSE package, and get
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.0.9.6 is needed by abiword-2.0.0-SuSE.ulb.2
libnautilus.so.2 is needed by abiword-2.0.0-SuSE.ulb.2
libssl.so.0.9.6 is needed by abiword-2.0.0-SuSE.ulb.2
   when I have openssl 0.9.7a installed, which is both libcrypto and libssl.

The gtk package complains:
error: Failed dependencies:

   when I've installed fribidi-0.10.4-66.i586.rpm

Has anyone got any suggestions, other than considering it completely amateur 
and a disaster, and going back to 1.0.4?

log message for HD crash, is this hardware failure?

2003-09-19 Thread Reuben D. Budiardja

Hello all,
My harddrive crashed when I got in this morning. Right now, manually running 
fsck /dev/hdb never finished, I would get read error (short read, etc), 
bad/duplicate something, and then the screen will scroll with all kind of 
numbers (like the screen of a terminal on the Matrix movie.. :) )

I can mount the drive though, although some data can't be read. I guess my 
only solution is to try recover whatever can be recovered from there and 
re-format the harddrive. 

But my question , is this a hardware/HD failure? because if it's, it might not 
be worth it to use the HD again, better just replace it, since the server is 
our development database server. Here is the log from /var/log/message. I 
asked help to interpret this. Thanks for your help.

Apache Issues

2003-09-19 Thread Michael Gargiullo
Hey all,

After upgrading one server to httpd-2.0.40-11.7.i386.rpm via up2date,
the webserver now only answers Error 400.  The only change was this new
package (No config changes).

I host 3 domains on this box, and none of them answer...  

Anyone have any ideas... I've already tried looking for a obvious signs
of an attack without any.


Sidenote:  How any of these have been cropping up in your log files?

It's great to see that show up in the webstats for the CEO etc... Then

I mean, monthly cost is the same as fixed cost because it's fixed? It
doesn't change period to period (a period being one month in this case).

setting up NTPd

2003-09-19 Thread James D. Parra
Hello,

I have ntpd running on three machines; one (primary) internal server
pointing to a stratum 2 server on the net, and the other two pointing to the
internal primary server. When I issue ntpdate on all three machines I get
the following error; 18 Sep 17:13:44 ntpdate[14942]: the NTP socket is in
use, exiting.  If I use 'rdate -p' on the two internal servers pointing to
our primary internal NTP server I get a 'connection refused' error. The
'rdate -p command works when pointing to the stratum 2 server.  The daemons
are running on all three machines.

How can make our primary internal ntp server accept connections? And, how
can I ensure that all the clocks on the internal machines are in sync with
one another?

Thank you in advance,

pinging a name vs. number

2003-09-19 Thread Timothy Stone
List and network gurus...

I recently had a coworker tell me that we should *always* ping by 
*name*, *not* by number. The reason as explained is because the 
resolution takes place at a higher level on the OSI stack. And pinging 
the number does nothing but tell you that the 'connection' to the 
machine is okay.

Huh?! Isn't pinging by name just the same as pinging by number, only 
adding a step for the name resolution?

% ping 10.0.0.5
+-++---+
| work station  - | 10.0.0.5
+-++---+
% ping myserver
+-++---+
| work station  - | myserver
+-++---+
   |
   |
+-+
| DNS/WINS  # myserver = 10.0.0.5
+-+
I added WINS here because, well, we have a Windoze LAN and the server in 
question is a remote Exchange server.

I think what my esteemed MCSE colleague was wanting to explain that 
pinging is not as effective as telneting to the check the service in 
question.

My understanding of the our network is that many times it's not our 
remote Exchange host, but the connection between us that is the problem, 
and pinging by name or number is just fine as a test.

For instance if I wanted to check my webserver to see if it was up I could

%ping mywebserver   #OR

%ping 10.0.0.10 #mywebserver

But this tells me nothing about the HTTPD service. So I would be better off

%telnet mywebserver 80 #OR

%telnet 10.0.0.10 80   #OR

%curl -I http://mywebserver#via cygwin of course

Telnet|cURL would tell me both things: the webserver is up and the HTTPD 
is answering connections.

Would any one mind elaborating on the pinging a number v. name for me? 
Or is she right?

Thanks in advance.
Tim

promail folders and filters

2003-09-19 Thread christopher j bottaro
hello,
i have a linux account at school.  to check my mail, i can ssh into one of the 
linux machines at school and just type mutt.  problem with that is that i'm 
on like 20 mailing list and my inbox is just a huge mess.  so instead, i use 
kmail from my home machine to log into the pop server and download all my 
emails and use filters to put them in different folders.

my question is if i use procmail to filter my mail into different maildirs on 
my school machine, will i still be able to download them all on my home 
machine using kmail and using pop?

i.e. my school machine puts all my mail into $HOME/mailbox.  if i use procmail 
to filter mail from mailbox to different maildirs, will i still be able to 
get them all when i check my email from home via pop?

RE: setting up NTPd

2003-09-19 Thread Marvin Blackburn
ntpdate requires that the socket be open locally, so you have to shutdown
ntpd before running it.
ntpdate -d will bring back results either way, but will not reset the local
clock.

Once you get the time synced with ntpdate, just restart the ntpd.
You can put the ntp sever in the step-tickers file and it will sync time at
each reboot then start ntpd.
See the init.d script.

Hope this helps.

 Hello,

 I have ntpd running on three machines; one (primary) internal server
 pointing to a stratum 2 server on the net, and the other two
 pointing to the
 internal primary server. When I issue ntpdate on all three
 machines I get
 the following error; 18 Sep 17:13:44 ntpdate[14942]: the NTP
 socket is in
 use, exiting.  If I use 'rdate -p' on the two internal
 servers pointing to
 our primary internal NTP server I get a 'connection refused'
 error. The
 'rdate -p command works when pointing to the stratum 2
 server.  The daemons
 are running on all three machines.

 How can make our primary internal ntp server accept
 connections? And, how
 can I ensure that all the clocks on the internal machines are
 in sync with
 one another?

 Thank you in advance,

Re: pinging a name vs. number

2003-09-19 Thread Mike Burger
Whether you use the named address in your ping command or not,it's always 
going to ping the numeric address.  The only thing using the name will do 
is show you that DNS is working.

Your esteemed colleague is, after all, an MCSE.  Unfortunately, I've 
only met one or two who could actually speak on routing, etc., in any sort 
of coherent manner.

 I added WINS here because, well, we have a Windoze LAN and the server in 
 question is a remote Exchange server.
 
 I think what my esteemed MCSE colleague was wanting to explain that 
 pinging is not as effective as telneting to the check the service in 
 question.
 
 My understanding of the our network is that many times it's not our 
 remote Exchange host, but the connection between us that is the problem, 
 and pinging by name or number is just fine as a test.
 
 For instance if I wanted to check my webserver to see if it was up I could
 
 %ping mywebserver   #OR
 
 %ping 10.0.0.10 #mywebserver
 
 But this tells me nothing about the HTTPD service. So I would be better off
 
 %telnet mywebserver 80 #OR
 
 %telnet 10.0.0.10 80   #OR
 
 %curl -I http://mywebserver#via cygwin of course
 
 Telnet|cURL would tell me both things: the webserver is up and the HTTPD 
 is answering connections.
 
 Would any one mind elaborating on the pinging a number v. name for me? 
 Or is she right?
 
 Thanks in advance.

No. POP just checks the inbox. If you use procmail to filter your mail

Does kmail support IMAP? IMAP will let you see those maildirs from home.

IMHO, if you're regularly checking your mail from multiple locations 
and need folders, IMAP is the only way to go. If kmail won't do it, 
switch to something that will.

Hi Christopher,

If the syntax highlighting files are installed but just not being used,
it might be as simple as typing:

:syntax enable

If they aren't installed or VIM has been compiled without syntax
highlighting support you'll have to do some reinstallation work.

The syntax files which describe what to highlight for each file type
are in $VIMRUNTIME/syntax which on redhat 9 is:

/usr/share/vim/$VERSION/syntax

The online help for vim is really quite good.  When using vim
type:

:help syntax

and you'll get oodles of info.

Good Luck,

Re: 3Ware escalade 6800

2003-09-19 Thread Steve Lee
I just found out the problem.  I wanted to write back and let everyone
on this list to know what I have discovered.   3Ware no longer supports
the escalade 6000 series.  There for the card will not work in a 
RAID 5 mode on linux using RedHat 9.  According to the tech support, they
haven't worked on the drivers for the 6800 for 2 years.  What that tells
me is that i would have to buy new escalades every so many years when
the on i have purchased for $650.00 can still do the job.  I don't think
i will be buying anymore 3ware on my budget.   


what i did to test.   You can still install redhat 9 if you use RAID 0, 1, 
10.   So i went a head and installed redhat 9 using 2 40Gb drives in RAID 
1.  then i went ahead and setup 3 200 GB drives using RAID 5.  Linux 
crashes when you try to fdisk the RAID 5.  thats it.

Well, that's the whole point of ping.  i.e. can one system reach
another via ICMP.

It is true that using a name instead of an IP address will also force
name resolution.  However, you may confuse your debugging efforts if
there is a problem with name resolution.

For example, now that Verisign has screwed with the TLDs your name
resolution may not be correct.

For example:
 traceroute -n verisignissleazyashell.com
traceroute to verisignissleazyashell.com (64.94.110.11), 30 hops max, 38
byte packets
 1  172.16.128.1  0.696 ms  0.737 ms  0.737 ms

watchdog update in syslog

2003-09-19 Thread Parker Richard-A19798
I have RedHat Advanced Server for clustering.

I have some clients that have their syslogs pointing to the two upstream clustered 
servers.

What I see when I open up the /var/log/messages file on the servers is;

Sep 19 17:34:08 host01 kernel: 0x254ae fbd736.c 498 fbd_ioctl : watchdog update

There are two of these every 10 seconds. I have 20 clients.  This makes for a ton of 
messages in my /var/log/messages file.

Is there a way to filter out this message from the messages file?

If what you want to do is bypass kmail and only use mutt on your school

procmail to distribute the messages to the appropriate mailboxes and use
fetchmail to retreive the messages from the pop server. If you want to
use kmail also, then just set fetchmail to keep the messages on the
server. You won't be able to use kmail to read the already-distributed

Whew. Thank God. I don't have to tell how frustrated I was when I became

What is this person talking about? Don't ping by number?! Has she lost it?

I bothered my for several days and I had to post.

Needless to say, her suggestion may get her in trouble one day. Pinging 
by name may interfere with her debugging one day if WINS is down. And we 
have no /official/ internal DNS--I set up one on my Linux staging 
server, drawing some serious fire from the MCSE in question and recent 
whispers of marginalizing it when some new W2K domain controllers 
arrive. Oh well, I can surf to internal machines by name...she can't; 
refuses to use it, though 12 others in the department are. Maybe my DNS 
has cooties. ;)

Wait... Doesn't fixed cost mean it's the same each period, whatever that

I mean, monthly cost is the same as fixed cost because it's fixed? It
doesn't change period to period (a period being one month in this case).
Do I have the wrong idea?
Mixing things here. Fixed means the same every time, variable is used 
for costs that rise and fall. Usually one-time means one time (duh), and 
recurrent or recurring is used to describe periodic.

a) There is no such animal as RHL 9.1. There just isn't.

b) I would personally reboot from the CD given the choice.

c) Of course, given the choice I would make a full backup, do a fresh 
install, and restore my data.

RE: setting up NTPd

2003-09-19 Thread James D. Parra
Thank you, this does help.

I do have one question, though. You mentioned the time sync will occur after
a reboot. I need the synchronization to occur several time a day without
ever rebooting. How can I achieve this?

Thank you again.

James

ntpdate requires that the socket be open locally, so you have to shutdown
ntpd before running it.
ntpdate -d will bring back results either way, but will not reset the local
clock.

Once you get the time synced with ntpdate, just restart the ntpd.
You can put the ntp sever in the step-tickers file and it will sync time at
each reboot then start ntpd.
See the init.d script.

Hope this helps.

 Hello,

 I have ntpd running on three machines; one (primary) internal server
 pointing to a stratum 2 server on the net, and the other two
 pointing to the
 internal primary server. When I issue ntpdate on all three
 machines I get
 the following error; 18 Sep 17:13:44 ntpdate[14942]: the NTP
 socket is in
 use, exiting.  If I use 'rdate -p' on the two internal
 servers pointing to
 our primary internal NTP server I get a 'connection refused'
 error. The
 'rdate -p command works when pointing to the stratum 2
 server.  The daemons
 are running on all three machines.

 How can make our primary internal ntp server accept
 connections? And, how
 can I ensure that all the clocks on the internal machines are
 in sync with
 one another?

 Thank you in advance,

 James

 How about openoffice instead??  www.openoffice.org

 Try it.

I don't suppose you read my entire post.

I use it. I also congenially *loathe* it, since it was written by and for 
people who buy the latest, greatest power/game machines. For the rest of us 
who can't afford to buy a new machine, it takes nearly a minute to load, 
and eats the system, and runs like an 80286 (assuming you know what that 
is).

Abiword, on the other hand, on the same system, loads in (measured) 8 
seconds, and runs fast.

If you noticed, I *also* tried the abiword-gtk* package, and the

have been.

Btw, *if* I read the info at rpmfind correctly, the frbidi0 package is

package should be necessary.

And why can't it find libcrypto and libssl?

Specying an interface in Sendmail

The ntpd service will immediately synchronize with the servers listed in 
/etc/ntp/step-tickers when the SERVICE is restarted; this does not mean 
rebooting the box but rather issuing the service ntpd restart command. 
This is only so that the time is properly synchronized right from the start.

From then on, the ntpd service follows a complicated algorithm of 
scheduling queries to ensure that your clock is always in sync. Do not 
worry about it... the clock WILL NOT be synchronized once a day. It will be 
sync'ed probably once a minute for 10 minutes, then once every five minutes 
for 4 hours, then once every 15 minutes for 10 hours, and so on. (Not real 
numbers, just an example.)

While this is going on, ntpd will change the value of /etc/ntp/drift, which 
is an internal correction factor for whatever error is in your hardware 
clock. With this correction, the ntpd service can use the hardware clock to 
keep accurate time for longer periods between synchronizations without 
losing accuracy. The result: low network traffic and very accurate time all 
the time.

Just place one or more valid servers in step-tickers, configure ntp.conf, 
restart ntpd and quit worrying. You can later check that things are OK with 
ntptrace localhost.

Lots of ways to do this of course.  One simplistic way is to

The user will be emailed a report only if any filesystem has greater

routing challenge

2003-09-19 Thread Asbjorn Hoiland Aarrestad
Got a challenging routing problem, and perhaps some of you can help me.

The network is as follows.
We have 12 standalone nodes with wireless lan cards. The nodes are 
placed on a line, and the average distance between each node is 400 
meters. With good wireless cards, that means that we can reach two or 
three node neighbours on each side of a node. (the nodes will be placed 
in the middle of nowhere, security is not the issue since the biggest 
security risk will be the ice and polar bears. This also means that 
putting up tp-wires is not an option)

on each side of the line of nodes, there will be a server. There will 
only be people at the first server (beside the first node) The nodes 
will be collecting data, and we want to transfer the data to the server 
beside the first node. But we also want to be able to telnet into each 
of the nodes to be able to do maintainance (so we don't have to use a 
snow-mobile and get very cold each time there is a problem on one of the 
nodes)

Any ideas on how to make a good enough network, enabeling us to 
communicate between the nods and the servers?

Re: Specying an interface in Sendmail

2003-09-19 Thread Lists

The default config file in RH9 instructs sendmail to listen only on the
loopback interface.  To change this modify /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and
then restart sendmail.  e.g. service sendmail restart.

Both methods below will modify sendmail.cf to listen on ALL interfaces. 
Modifying it to listen to a specific interface is left a an exercise for
the reader.


1) Modify sendmail.cf directly.

Find the line:
   O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA
Change it to read
   O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp, Name=MTA


2) Modify sendmail.mc, then generate a new sendmail.cf with m4

Find the section in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc that reads:

dnl #
dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on the IPv4 loopback
address
dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices. Remove the
loopback
dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet.
dnl #
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

Modify the mc file as specified in the comments and generate a new
sendmail.cf.  (There are plenty of docs out there on how to do this.)

  how do i get syntax highlighting like on my redhat-9 system at home?

 Hi Christopher,

 If the syntax highlighting files are installed but just not being used,

 it might be as simple as typing:
 :syntax enable

 If they aren't installed or VIM has been compiled without syntax
 highlighting support you'll have to do some reinstallation work.

 The syntax files which describe what to highlight for each file type
 are in $VIMRUNTIME/syntax which on redhat 9 is:

 /usr/share/vim/$VERSION/syntax

 The online help for vim is really quite good.  When using vim

 type:
 :help syntax

 and you'll get oodles of info.

 Good Luck,
 Sean

Re: routing challenge

Asbjorn Hoiland Aarrestad [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Got a challenging routing problem, and perhaps some of you can help
 me.
 
 The network is as follows.
 We have 12 standalone nodes with wireless lan cards. The nodes are 
 placed on a line, and the average distance between each node is 400 
 meters. With good wireless cards, that means that we can reach two or 
 three node neighbours on each side of a node. (the nodes will be
 placed 
 in the middle of nowhere, security is not the issue since the biggest 
 security risk will be the ice and polar bears. This also means that 
 putting up tp-wires is not an option)
 
 on each side of the line of nodes, there will be a server. There will 
 only be people at the first server (beside the first node) The nodes 
 will be collecting data, and we want to transfer the data to the
 server 
 beside the first node. But we also want to be able to telnet into each
 
 of the nodes to be able to do maintainance (so we don't have to use a 
 snow-mobile and get very cold each time there is a problem on one of
 the 
 nodes)
 
 Any ideas on how to make a good enough network, enabeling us to 
 communicate between the nods and the servers?
 
 

Hi Asbjorn,

Sounds like a fun project.

The first thought that springs to mind is that you treat each node as 
a separate network.   Essentially a network of 1 with each node having
a fixed IP address on its own subnet. Then run a routing daemon on each
node that discovers its neighbours and shares that route information
with each of them.  This should give you some resiliency in the face of
a single node dropping out.

Obviously this is rather too complex to describe in detail here but you
should take a look at routing daemons such as Gated or Zebra.   Zebra is
easier to setup and should do everything you need.   Actually Zebra has
recently been forked as Quagga so the place to start reading might be:

Good Luck,

RE: Specying an interface in Sendmail

2003-09-19 Thread Craig Herring



open 
sendmail.cf under /etc/mail
find 
the line that has :
DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA
and 
add

DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Addr=1.2.3.4 
Name=MTA
where 1.2.3.4 = ip of your eth0
restart sendmail

You can also put into the sendmail.mc file 
but then you have to rebuild the .cf file typically by running 'make' in the 
/etc/mail directory... Another way is to use Webmin and it can do it 
for you.

questions about building custom kernels.

2003-09-19 Thread Jack Lupton
I have never built a custom kernel before.  In trying to follow the
instructions under the RedHat Customization Guide I am not getting far. 
It starts out saying to copy the configuration file from
/usr/src/linux-2.4/configs directory to the /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config. 
These directories are not present on my Linux box.  I am currently
running the  2.4.20-29.9 kernel.  Where are the configuation files for
RedHat 9?  Why do they tell you to use directories that aren't present
from a typical installation?  Do I now create those directories?  Okay,
then move the configuation file to the new directories?  First, I must
download and install the source RPMS.  Will this create the missing
directories?   Seems like the instructions should include this.
Also, the SRPMS available for downloading are dated March, 03.  Don't I
need the current sources since I have done all the updates to my system
since installing.  BTW I downloaded the ISO for installing, but did buy
the RedHat subscription service.  Why aren't current sources available? 
Or, does it not matter?  I am missing something here - basic
understanding, I guess.

Re: IPChains with RH 9? Protocol not available

2003-09-19 Thread jsarachaga
Yes, iptables is way more versatile than ipchains, and ipchains 
is no longer supported in the redhat kernel by default.

As far as i know, with iptables you can filter packets based 
on IP flag combination (a great feature), can limit the amount 
of packets received to prevent log file flooding (another great 
feature) etc.

I recommend using IPTables.org firewall, it's a great iptables 
based firewall, it's modular and well supported, even more, the 
writer gives a less-than-a-minute support on most cases.

You will see all the GIPTables features when you read the config 
file.

 Lots of ways to do this of course.  One simplistic way is to

 59 * * * * df -h | awk '$5  80  NR  1'

 The user will be emailed a report only if any filesystem has greater

 the email can be sent wherever they like.  One downside to this method

None of those have anything to do with rawhide, which is what
Michael said.   Why haven't you tried the rawhide packages?  
Took about 60 seconds to install abiword here.

rpm -ivh abiword-2.0.0-2.i386.rpm  fribidi-0.10.4-3.i386.rpm \
libwpd-0.6.2-1.i386.rpm


 Btw, *if* I read the info at rpmfind correctly, the frbidi0 package is
 
 supposedly only for *development, and shouldn't be needed, only the
 frbidi

 And why can't it find libcrypto and libssl?
 

Perhaps because you're trying to use rpm packages from another
distribution rather than those released from RedHat ?

 I do have one question, though. You mentioned the time sync

 The ntpd service will immediately synchronize with the

 /etc/ntp/step-tickers when the SERVICE is restarted; this
 does not mean
 rebooting the box but rather issuing the service ntpd
 restart command.
 This is only so that the time is properly synchronized right
 from the start.

  From then on, the ntpd service follows a complicated algorithm of
 scheduling queries to ensure that your clock is always in
 sync. Do not
 worry about it... the clock WILL NOT be synchronized once a
 day. It will be
 sync'ed probably once a minute for 10 minutes, then once
 every five minutes
 for 4 hours, then once every 15 minutes for 10 hours, and so
 on. (Not real
 numbers, just an example.)

 While this is going on, ntpd will change the value of
 /etc/ntp/drift, which
 is an internal correction factor for whatever error is in
 your hardware
 clock. With this correction, the ntpd service can use the
 hardware clock to
 keep accurate time for longer periods between
 synchronizations without
 losing accuracy. The result: low network traffic and very
 accurate time all
 the time.

 Just place one or more valid servers in step-tickers,
 configure ntp.conf,
 restart ntpd and quit worrying. You can later check that
 things are OK with
 ntptrace localhost.

You would need to install the ipchains RPM and turn off or uninstall

Red Hat firewall config tools to help out any more.

Note that iptables is generally a much more powerful and flexible

Installation

2003-09-19 Thread Shariq Ali
Hello everyone,

I have downloaded java runtime environment for Redhat
linux 9.  But the file name ends with rpm.bin.  Can
anyone please tell me how to convert this file into an
executable file so that I can install it?

Thanks.

Re: adobe acrobat 5.0.8 and redhat 9

2003-09-19 Thread Earl Eiland
I had the same problem.  This worked for me:
Include these lines in your acroread
LANG=en_US
export LANG

Thanks to Danilo Augusto for this fix.
