RE: ext3 to ext2

[Darryl Harvey]

I have found that if you edit the entries in /etc/fstab and change from ext3
to ext2, two things are still apparent.

1/. The journal file still resides on each partition.
2/. The journal module is still loaded and running

So maybe tune2fs will stop these from occurring ??  Dunno...

IE: Taken from a system running ext2 partitions which was swapped back to ext2
from ext3 by editing the /etc/fstab file..

18 ?SW 0:14 [kjournald]

And the filesystem;

it would be nice to recover the .journal file entry space :-)

Good I don't want dynamic updates. And this Client IP has no authority to send
updates to me.

This is what needs to be done,   How do you tell it to stop this ??

By default it should be off, I see nowhere where they have turned it on.

Any hints ??


Maybe something else is running the nsupdate command ??

What do they mean ?

Is someone trying to do dynamic DNS to me (These logs are from a secondary DNS
host) but the IP it is coming from is NOT authoritive for any domains, and it
has no access to transfer zone files from me, in fact as far as I know
(Because I have contacted them) it is set up as a caching nameserver only..

Any ideas on how to stop this ? (They are very co-operative and wish to help)

You don't need an application,

Quick Question on VNC?

[Darryl Harvey]

Sorry if this is a stupid Q or not, but I cannot find it in any archive.

Can I run VNC server as well as X-Windows Server on the same box ?

Is that plausible?  Run X-Windows on the console and run VNC for remote 
clients?

And if that is just the way it is meant to be, then I wish they would make 
that clear in the docs..

Whaddayareckon?

When I log in to Gnome as a normal user (not root), it works just fine,
however, there's beeps (more like warning blips) coming from my PC speaker
every 4-6 seconds.

Logging in as root presents no problem.

This happens AFTER log-in (not an X problem I suspect).

/var/log/messages gives me zip.

I've googled, but nobody English speaking has the problem. I think I can see
some hints to the problem in the international non-english websites, but no
comprende.

Something obvious?

This IP is not a trusted IP on my network, and it is not a primary/secondary

But this refers to rather old versions of RedHat (pre 7.1).  The poster
specifically asked about 8.0, and for this the answer is yes.  I have
ATA 100 and 133 controllers (both Promise chipsets - they can be made to
work, but aren't recommended, BTW) in my RH 7.2/8.0 boxes.

This is from my 7.3 Box;

Dec 31 18:36:11 cascade kernel: hda: 78165360 sectors (40021 MB) w/2048KiB 
Cache, CHS=4865/255/63, UDMA(100)

Cache, CHS=7297/255/63, UDMA(100)


So, I guess the answer is YES !!!

Windows weirdness.

[Darryl Harvey]

I am having trouble getting my X-Windows up and running.
Machine:  RedHat 7.3
A bit of history;   it used to work.  My machine crashed (Lightning Hit on
Phone line) and it was rebooted, all seems ok, except for two things.
X-Windows does not start up on my remote workstation.  (I use Exceed on a
PC) X used to work just fine and AFAICT no config fiels have been changed..
The Linux box has full network connectivity and no errors on boot up.

But When I try to connect to X from a remote terminal, I do see this in
/var/log/messages and it has me baffled.

Nov 27 20:30:42 cascade kdm[3151]: Hung in XOpenDisplay(169.254.0.0:0),

Nov 27 20:30:42 cascade kdm[3151]: server open failed for 169.254.0.0:0,

Nov 27 20:40:04 cascade kdm[3075]: Display 169.254.0.0:0 cannot be opened

Why is it using 169.254.0.0:0 ???  The machine  I am coming from is
192.168.8.10, and the IP on this machine is 192.168.8.200.

Where is it getting the 169.254.0.0 address from ??
Any clues  to help me on my way ?
(If I log in via SSH, manually set the DISPLAY variable and then execute an
xterm, the window pops up on my workstation, so the PC (AFAICT) is working
ok)

Thanks

some file(s) were deleted but the process(s) using those files have
not closed the files. So the space is not freed. du reports only on
the files it can see, df reports on the actual space(something like
that).

you can use lsof to see what processes are using /var, once you
restart them(or if you wnat, try to track down which process(s)
are using the file(s) that were deleted, possibly by you?) restart
only those processes not all of them and the space will get freed
immediately.

either that or there is some filesystem curroption, very very
likely that the issue is what I mention first though

You don't have anything mounted under /var do you. I say a message go across
the list a while back stating that if a directory has files in it they are

du does not compute with df ?!?!?

[Darryl Harvey]

Hi,

I am running a RH7.2 system, My /var partition is getting a bit full, but
when I run some tests to find out where all the files are I can't seem to
account for all the space /var/ is saying that it is consuming.

When I do a "df -h"  I get the response of;

[root@slab /]# df -h
FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1  2.9G  135M  2.6G   5% /
/dev/md0   15M  4.3M  9.6M  31% /boot
/dev/md3  8.7G  1.5G  6.7G  19% /home
/dev/hda9 1.0G   33M  957M   4% /tmp
/dev/md2  4.8G  2.7G  1.9G  58% /usr
/dev/md4  984M  777M  157M  84% /var
none  250M 0  250M   0% /dev/shm

Note: /var says 777M consumed.

But if I perform a "du -ach /var" I get the result of;

[many filenames deleted]
160M/var
160Mtotal

So my question is, where has the remaining 617M gone ???

I have traversed down each  directory in /var and cannot locate anything.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Darryl

Use something like wingate as a proxy/port forwarder.

RE: RH7.3 freeze!!!!

[Darryl Harvey]

I had a very similar problem.  I blamed RedHat, I blamed my SCSI card
and in the end, it was my power supply.

Changed the power supply and the machine has been up ever since.

The way I isolated it:

I left the machine in BIOS mode (IE: don't boot an OS) left it for as
long as it took, and it re-booted, and/or locked up.

The newer machines (CPU's and Hard disks) draw more power..
Older Power supplies may have dried up Filter caps..

YMMV, but check that.  It has happened to me on two machines over the
last three months.  Weird..

Darryl

Changing mouse

[Darryl Harvey]

Probably a real simple question, but;

I wish to change the mouse on my system.  Although the new mouse works,
the pointer is "off centre" by about 5mm to the actual "click site".

So, the question is, how do I change the mouse driver, and is this a
known problem (being off centre) that is easily fixed?

Rgds,
Darryl

The contents of mine;

NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
# If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian,

And YES, there was a bug somewhere where the loopback was not configured

I add this, go down to init 3, then back to init 5, and I still get the

I try to find apm.o, but nothing is found

depmod -a does not complain,  but I still have a problem..

SCSI Cards ?!?!?

[Darryl Harvey]

I am using an Initio 9100UW and it is giving me nothing but grief.


bash-2.05a# cat /proc/scsi/INI9100U/0
The driver does not yet support the proc-fs


bash-2.05a# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
   Vendor: HP   Model: 4.26GB A 50-S65A Rev: S65A

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00
   Vendor: Seagate  Model: STT2NRev: 6A51
   Type:   Sequential-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 02



Maybe it is settings, but it is not intuitive.  The old Advansys Cards were 
great, and now you can't get them.  I chose Initio because they took over 
Advansys (or Connectcom).


I cannot use the tape drive properly as the SCSI card keeps resetting it's 
bus and the tape drive locks up..

For completeness, here is my PCI info;

bash-2.05a# cat /proc/pci

So if I can't find an Advansys card, what should I use ?
What SCSI cards do you all recommend?

Anyone ??

Which NIC to install?

[Darryl Harvey]

I need to replace my old and trusted 10Mhz NIC with a 100Mhz variety and
was wondering what experiences people have had with "100Mhz" NIC's..

Are some faster than others, Does a $20 Card work as good as $100+ type
card ?? (IE: Do I get more bang for buck?)

Any gotcha's for the unwary or can I safely go and buy a Cheap
D-Link/surecom (to name just two) and be safe knowing it will work and
work well.

Oh Yeah, PCI NIC's I am referring to.

Thanks

SCSI to IDE - How??

[Darryl Harvey]

Hi,

For some reason unknown to me, my system is running slow and the suspect
is the SCSI drive which is impacting on system performance.

We have decided to remove the SCSI card (initio 9100UW) and switch to an
IDE disk.  So now we need to know how we can accomplish this..

The SCSI drive is a 4.1Gb drive, we will probably install a 20Gb or 40Gb
IDE drive.

We can mount the new drive before we remove the SCSI or cp, tar/untar
under linux, or we could do a dd or something similar (Maybe ghost)?

Suggestions on the process to accomplish our task would be most welcome,
or pointers to a HowTo ?

TIA
Darryl

IDE settings idebus or UDMA100 ???

[Darryl Harvey]

When my machine boots I get this;

[Taken from dmesg]
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 89
VP_IDE: chipset revision 6

Note the line "Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with 
idebus=xx"
Should I be setting any idebus parameters somewhere ?

cause the hda line says: "hda: 78165360 sectors (40021 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, 
CHS=4865/255/63, UDMA(100)"
which is UDMA 100Mhz...

Is all ok here ???  or should I be settings some parameters to make th 
emost of my UDMA 100Mhz drive ?


Thanks

As David Said, it may be networking.  I just did a 7.3 install and
although it detected everything and ran fine, it was very slow.
I finally traced it down the the WRONG network card driver being
installed (assumed) during install, and it had heaps of errors.  Once I
installed the correct driver, it worked great.

In my case a simple check with "ifconfig" told me I had networking
errors (High error count on the eth0 interface).  

You may want to look into something similar.

using "@group_name" in smb.conf

I need to add a group of users access to a file share that I am sharing

In smb.conf I am using something similar to;

[accts]
   comment = Accounts Dept Share
   path = /usr/local/share/accounts
   valid users = @accounts
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no
   create mask = 0765


The valid users line says who can access this share.
I know the @accounts  = the accounts group.  How/where do I add the
actual valid usernames to this group?

Within smb.conf, or as a file (Where does the file sit and what is it
called (accounts ?)

Help!

RE: POP and IMAP through NAT

[Darryl Harvey]

Your mail server is probably doing a reverse IP lookup to find the real
DNS name for the host your are coming from.

Some providers do NOT map this and hence this can cause a delay as the
DNS tries to find one..


Solution(s), 

1/. Turn off this feature in the mail server
2/. Get a reverse name assigned to your IP(s).

Just so you don't feel too bad about this, I posted this message around
the office (Well I got a laugh out of it), and back came this reply!!

--
Heh - I did something like this.

Had a win2k install that would make the horrible beepbeepbeepbeep 
catting a binary file sound, and lock up the keyboard till I rebooted. 
It was very intermittant. (would go a week without happening, then one 
day I could get no work done at all.)

I swapped over the keyboard, mouse, soundcard, and disconnected the
scanner, unloaded all TSRs and utilities etc. Then I noticed my
second keyboard (the one under all the books) was still plugged into
a remote USB hub. When knocked, the books were depressing and holding
keys down.

The SCSI controller and/or disk is playing up (Locking up the whole
system) so I wish to remove it from the unit all together and just run
with IDE. (I do not need to benefits of SCSI, so it can be takenout)

What is the proceedure to get the system and booting ability across to
the IDE drive?

I am using GRUB (Which I am not as familiar with as Lilo)

The only way out of it is a reboot (Press the reset button).
And the log files show nothing, No erros, just empty (IE The system just
stops)

I am running the latest RH kernel 2.4.9-31 and all the latest RPM
upgrades.

I have checked and the initio BIOS is the latest available too..

As far as I know I have disabled ALL power management stuff. (but maybe
I missed one?)

This machines doesn't actually do much 90% of the time, but it does need
to be up 100% of the time..  And it's usage will only increase...

Can anyone give me some ideas as to what I may be able to tune to stop
this happening?   Or what info can I supply to maybe help diagnose ??

TIA

Athlon kernel Vs. Normal Kernel ??

[Darryl Harvey]

If I have an Athlon CPU, what advantages do I get from running the
Athlon kernel ??  Is it more stable? Faster? Optimised??

What disadvantages do I get if I do NOT use it and stick with the
standard kernel???

Thanks

Re: using ntpd...?

[Darryl Harvey]

Also,

Make sure that you run ntpdate first to make the clock within spec for ntpd 
to then maintain it.

If you are running RH7.x, there should be a file called 
/etc/ntp/step-tickers  which has the names of your time servers on it (Not 
yours, but the ones that you use)

This will then automatically run ntpdate when "service ntpd start" is 
issued, or upon reboot.

Otherwise, just run "ntpdate ntp_server_name" as root, then start ntpd 
"service ntpd start"

All should be fine.

RE: postfix rpm + mailman rpm = GID error

[Darryl Harvey]

I had the same problem. I too changed the owner of the alias file and it
all worked fine...


-rwxr--r--1 mail mail  591 Mar 25 11:11
/etc/postfix/aliases.mailman
-rwxr--r--1 mail mail12288 Mar 25 11:31
/etc/postfix/aliases.mailman.db

(See the owner of this file is the GID of the one mailmail expected..)

Works like a charm.. Postfix does issue a warning, but it is only a
warning, not a fatal..

RE: [OT] Can't see computers on the other switch

[Darryl Harvey]

Maybe something is wrong with the spanning tree algorithm in one of the
switches and they are not passes on routing info ??

Have you put the switch to switch connection into one of the "Working"
PC ports to see if that helps?  When you try to talk to one of the
remote hosts, does the link/data light flash on the port which links to
the switches together?   And one step further, does the link/data lights
on the remote switches PC ports flash ??

IE: Is the request getting out ?

Mailman and postfix GID error??

[Darryl Harvey]

Has anyone set up mailman and Postfix on their RedHat box??


I am getting the dreaded GID error, and have read the mailman help file as 
to the fix, It suggests rebuilding mailman with;

./configure --with-mail-gid=thegid

If I am installing from a Redhat RPM, I cannot do this...  I have altered 
the postfix option of:

default_privs = mail

and this allows me to use mailman, but it may have some effect on postfix 
and privs??

Can anyone enlighten me to if this is ok, or if I need to un-install the 
RPM and install mailman from source and configure with my options.

Thanks
Darryl

Hi,

I am after a fax solution to replace my WinFax Pro server. (If I can get

So what Fax options do I have under Linux, and can remote clients (linux

RE: How to submit jobs to background

[Darryl Harvey]

CTRL-Z stops the process and gives you control,

Just type "bg" (No quotes) and the process goes into the "background".

You can switch processes at any time by typing "fg process_id"

And/or see running jobs by typing "jobs".

That will help you.  Although all output will be mixed on your screen.

man bash (or whatever shell you are using) then search for fg, bg, jobs
etc..

Rgds,
Darryl

Re: 7.2 keeps crashing

[Darryl Harvey]

Just change it in /etc/fstab and remount it. That easy, even if it was
originally installed as ext3. The only thing missing in that case is
lost+found. If you upgraded to ext3, that's already there.

Re: 7.2 keeps crashing

[Darryl Harvey]

My brand new install of 7.2 kept dying after about 4-6 days.  It would just 
slow down, crawl along and then stop..  No crash, just grind to a halt and 
just stop..

I turned off journaling by going back to ext2 partitions and it has been up 
ever since. (Going on 60 days now in a heavily used environment)

I still have no idea why it would crawl to a halt, there wer no error 
messages..  but changing the filesystems from ext3 to ext2 fixed the problem.

Go Figure.

I have a setup that is currently running under raid1.

I want to stop the raid and use it as normal disks again (especially the 
boot device)

Every time I issue "raidstop --all"  or "raidstop /dev/md0 /dev/hda1"
it come back saying either "nothing to do!!, or "device or resource busy"

[root@slab root]# raidstop /dev/md0
/dev/md0: Device or resource busy

[root@slab root]# raidstop --all
nothing to do!
usage: raidstop [--all] [--configfile] [--help] [--version] [-achv] *




How can I turn off this raid and use the disks as per normal again?

Question about ext3 journal file.

[Darryl Harvey]

How big is this file ".journal" meant to be.

On my disk it appears to be around 33Mb.  Seems a little large to me??

Maybe not?   I would expect it to be small with the latest changes in
it.

Where can I find out more?  I have search for info on ext3, but found
nothing useful.  Pointers??

Thanks

7.2, etx3, RAID1 Grinds to a halt! - Why?

[Darryl Harvey]

Howdie,

I have a fairly new 7.2 installation.  It runs as a server supplying
services for Web (Apache), Mail (postfix), Database (MySQL), and DNS
(Bind 9.x)

This machine runs fine for about 5-6 days, then it grinds to a halt with
the response slowing way down. Eventually it stops responding and a
reboot is the only option.

Resources seem ok when this happens.. although last time I saw it
slowing, I noticed several CROND processes in the process list, but
could not determine what it was actually doing..

The system logs show nothing out of the ordinary, nor can I find any
reported fault anyway within the system

Typically a re-boot solves it although on one occasion, the GRUB stage2
file was corrupt and needed a re-write.

The system is RH7.2 (running kernel 2.4.9-13, using ext3 file system and
also Software RAID1.

Can anyone shed some light or point me in some direction.  I really need
this box to be more reliable..

As a side note (OR even just to try and eliminate one aspect),
How, or can you convert a ext3 file system back to ext2 ??

Any known issues, help or pointers appreciated,
Darryl

2 questions (GRUB & RAID)

[Darryl Harvey]

After a disk crash and a hard time getting my system back online, I have 
two questions that could have saved me a lot of time.


1/.  When using Grub as the boot loader.  How do you boot into single user 
mode (like the old lilo "linux single" command) ??

2/. If I have a raid partition set up, can I turnit back into a normal 
partition (IE: Non RAID) to enable me to extract data off the disc.

IE: in a RAID Mode, if one disc fails, can you get data off the good disc 
without installing a second good drive and re-creating all the raid 
partitions again?

Any help with these two will save me hours next time,

TIA
Darryl

Are you really running linux on a Sparc ???  
You sure your not using a PC ?

Just don't know many "newbies" that would be running a Sparc

Worth asking anyway..

Did you try using the "./" command before the application name ??

IE:   ./rp8_linux_sparc_cs1.bin.

To tell the OS to use your current directory for the location of the
file ??


Otherwise tell us what you are doing (With examples)

Mailman - How is it doing this?

[Darryl Harvey]

I have a 7.2 installation,

I have installed Mailman, but do not want to run it yet and have not
configured it.

But in the cron logs I see entries like;

Nov 16 10:55:00 slab CROND[4628]: (mailman) CMD (/usr/bin/python -S
/var/mailman/cron/qrunner)
Nov 16 10:55:00 slab CROND[4629]: (mailman) CMD (/usr/bin/python -S

/var/mailman/cron/qrunner)
Nov 16 10:59:01 slab CROND[4818]: (mailman) CMD (/usr/bin/python -S
/var/mailman/cron/qrunner)


I want to disable this from running?  How do I do this?

I cannot find any entry in chkconfig for mailman, I find no entries in
any crontab file or /etc/cron.d

How do I turn this damn thing off?

Help please?

How did I set what up?  The ppp0 line to auto dial ??  Just manually setup 
the ppp config files..  the main one is ifcfg-ppp0  this tells the system 
to dial on boot (As mentioned below)



Put the entries in my static-routes file as you mentioned, but no luck, if 
I drop the ppp0 line, the routes disappear and don't come back..  (unless I 
add them manually)

Re: Static Routing question

[Darryl Harvey]

Hi Gary,
It is a persistent link using pppd with ppp-watch to keep the link up



IE: the box boots, it dials the connection.  the line ONBOOT="yes" is 
present in ifcfg-ppp0

This box is NOT running X, it is a server with a modem line as a private 
link to a second network.

I assume those files are being called, they have reference to stats-routes 
in them, but I don't know the format for the data to put into 
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes

Selective Network stop/start - ppp-watch??

[Darryl Harvey]

I am running an old laptop as a gateway machine.
It is running RH v7.0and the Ethernet and modem ports are on a Xircom 
PCMCIA card.

The only way I can get it to automatically (on boot) dial the ISP and 
connect is by pushing the pcmcia loading sequence before the network is 
configured.  and then I have to reset the network from the rc.local file to 
make it all clean and fix the routing tables.

My question are;

1/. Is there a better way of achieving what I am trying to do?

2/. How can I reset the ETH0 port without resetting the ppp0 port?

3/. If I issue the command /etc/r.d/init.d/network reload, it stops and 
starts ALL network interfaces.  Can I specify which interface I want to 
stop/start (IE: just reload ETH0) ??

And how do I make sure ppp-watch is invoked ??  Should that happen by 
default if the ONBOOT=yes option is specified with in the ppp0 options?



Thanks
Darryl

Hi,

I have had a look at the code in 
/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib/checksum.S

but I am no code writer and wouldn't know if the syntax is right or not 
(Nothing obvious anyway)

Anyone else had compile errors or can point me to a fix ??

I have updated gcc, glibc and other relevant packages to Rh7.0, I have also 
upgraded the kernel to 2.2.17 (As you can see above)

This also happen with the stock kernel from a fresh install. I am trying to 
compile on a Compaq Armada 1500c (if that matters). but other wise it is 
running fine and I have no problems.

It's Specs;

Pentium 166
48Mb RAM
Floppy,

10/100 ethernet/ V90 modem PCMCIA card (Xircom)


Question is, Will Linux install (via FTP) easily on this beast, will I have 
nay problems with drivers /utilities here?

 From the MAN page, I get the example;

 ALLCDROM = NOPASSWD: /sbin/umount /CDROM,\
/sbin/mount -o nosuid\,nodev /dev/cd0a /CDROM

Any user may mount or unmount a CD-ROM on the machines in the CDROM 
Host_Alias (orion, perseus, hercules)
without entering a password.  This is a bit tedious for users to 
type, so it is a prime candiate for
encapsulating in a shell script.


So in your sudoers file, you need the entry;

ALL ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/mount, /sbin/umount

** This will allow ANY user to run the mount & umount command without the 
need for a passwd.
This is in it's simplest form and is open to lots of nailing down and 
improving.


## NOTE: use visudo to edit the /etc/sudoers file

Hope this helps
Darryl

Use sudo.  That gives you better control and an audit log should you need it.

RE: why linux gets such a bad rap ...

[Darryl Harvey]

Try this another way.

Put Linux on a machine, then try to install Windo$e (any flavour) as a dual 
boot box.

You can't can you...

Windo$e  insists that it is the only OS on the machine.. (or primary OS if 
you want t get technical)
Windo$e will install fine, but it will wipe the other OS boot info along 
the way.

Now is that Linux's fault  ?

surely it is...  Bill can't be  wrong, nah!!

RE: why linux gets such a bad rap ...

[Darryl Harvey]

I guess maybe we are also missing another point.

Why is this Linux's fault??

Maybe it is Microsoft aversion to two operating systems that makes it so 
hard (if it is).

Linux and Lilo are quite comfortable with one, two three or four (or more) 
boot devices or OS's.  So are other operating systems.  But is 
Microsoft??  Nup, they insist on being the primary boot device.  Maybe we 
should point the finger at Bill instead of Linus...

Makes more sense to me.

If you are rebuilding /var at each boot, maybe that is why..

Man runlevel says;

-
RUNLEVEL(8)Linux System Administrator's ManualRUNLEVEL(8)

NAME
runlevel -- find the current and previous system runlevel.

SYNOPSIS
runlevel [utmp]

DESCRIPTION
Runlevel  reads  the  system utmp file (typically /var/run/utmp) to 
locate the runlevel record, and then prints the previous and current system 
runlevel on its standard output, separated by a single space. 
If  there  is  no previous system runlevel, the letter N will be printed 
instead.

If  no utmp file exists, or if no runlevel record can be found, 
runlevel prints the word unknown and exits with an error.

Runlevel can be used in rc scripts as a substitute for the System-V 
who -r command.  However, in newer versions of init(8) this information is 
also available in the environment variables RUNLEVEL and PREVLEVEL.
-


So if you are writing the file /var/run/utmp when you re-create /var, you 
have your answer.

Rgds,
Darryl

There is nothing in here that says postfix has a problem, but your box 
certainly has a problem.

I would be fixing all the other problems before even looking at postfix.

Besides, postfix logs all it's messages to /var/log/maillog.
check there to see if postfix has a problem.

Have the mail received by a single account on your system and use a 
".forward" file to send it on to other accounts.

It would be the easiest way to do it.

Re: linux guy cant get w98 networking going

[Darryl Harvey]

When the Win9x box is up, from the Start:Run option, type in 
"winipcfg"  (No quotes obviously)

and hit return, you should get a window pop up and tell you all the Win9x 
IP settings.

Make sure the subnet mask is correct.

At least that way you can confirm the settings of your network card.

Also from a DOS prompt, type in " route print" to see the routing table, 
make sure the table is correct.

 From DOS ping the interface on the Win9x box..  It should work.

At least we have a starting point.

Come back if more help needed.

All you need to do is create a ".forward" file.

In this file you have the contents of;

\localusername, [EMAIL PROTECTED]


\localusernameshould be your username on the machine that has the 
.forward file.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] is the remote email address you wish to forward the 
message to.

Both accounts will get a copy of this message.

Add more address by separating with a comma.

Else subnet the address range.


 router
 192.168.1.254  (Mask 255.255.255.128) \
   |\ 1 network of 128 IP's
eth1:   192.168.1.129  (Mask 255.255.255.128)  /
 Linux Server
eth0:   192.168.1.1 (Mask 255.255.255.128)
   |
 Wkstns: 192.168.1.2 -> 192.168.1.126  (Mask 255.255.255.128)


Should work fine too.

Either way, you need to alter one address of the NIC's..

Re: BIND Problem

[Darryl Harvey]

You need to add an entry in /etc/named.conf to tell your name server where 
to get info if it can't find it.

 forwarders { 204.127.160.2; 204.127.129.2; };


This should fix the problem.

nslookup only loads one nameserver when you invoke it;

IE; [root@rehanna /root]# nslookup www.compaq.com
Server:  rehanna.ilmtech.com
Address:  199.1.1.2

*** rehanna.ilmtech.com can't find www.compaq.com: Server failed


See the line that says "Server: rehanna.ilmtech.com"

Anyway, I suggest you get and read DNS & BIND if you want to know all about 
nslookup and bind. It is too deep a subject to cover here.

Just add the forwarders line within named.conf and all should be ok..


Rgds,
Darryl

Re: Installing Rh 6.2

[Darryl Harvey]

Use rawrite from the Cd and make a boot & installation disk.

Disk images should be on the disk somewhere, can't remember exact location

One of installation options is for a network install.  It works quite well.

Eddie,

In my cisco router, I have the following configuration;

logging facility local4
logging 192.168.210.25<-- IP of my log host.



in my /etc/syslog.conf I have the following entry;

# Cisco Logging
local4.info/var/log/cisco.log


Works a treat for me...

Make sure you start your syslogd with the -r option to enable remote logging.

I just tried this and it worked fine for me.

The syntax I used;   tar -cvzf test.tar.gz -T files.lst

My tar version;
[darryl@slab darryl]$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.17

RAID under Linux?

I am thinking about putting in a RAID controller.

I see there are a few IDE RAID controllers (IE: FastTrack, FastSwap and 
Adaptec's AAA-UDMA)

Has anyone had any experience with any of this under Linux??

Any suggestions to do or not to do ??

(Lilo.conf)

GLOBAL OPTIONS

password=password
   The per-image option `password=...' (see below) applies to 
all images.

PER-IMAGE SECTION

password=password
   Protect the image by a password.


see man lilo.conf for full details.

make a /boot partition that is within the first 1023 cylinder boundary of 
the disc
(40 Megs should be more than enough)  then it should work fine.

sendmail filter rules??

[Darryl Harvey]

This is probably not the correct list to ask on, but I am after some 
sendmail config help?


I am temporarily going overseas, and I want to re-direct any mail received 
from a particular domain (IE: my work) to me at temporary email 
address  where I will be.

So will sendmail allow me to configure it to monitor the incoming mail and 
if any mail from "*@work_domain.com" comes into my server, it will send a 
copy locally and also re-direct it to me at a second email address.


IE: just like the .forward options, but not for every email, only selected 
ones.

Thanks

From LocalTime to UTC (GMT)

[Darryl Harvey]

My box is currently running local time, but I am starting to think that I 
should have the hardware clock set to UTC (GMT) and use the OS to convert 
that to local time (AEST)


So, is it a simple measure to change the hardware clock, change my locale 
settings and that's it?  Or do I need to do something else?
