RE: HELP !!! raid 5 problem
thanks to all for the info. I am backup and working after rebuilding - now I am looking for a way to monitor my array. I have looked at raidmon - does this monitor hardware? Is there a specific monitor for my specific controller - "Compaq smart array 431 (chipset - sym53c896) Thanks, Doug -Original Message- From: Dominic RIVERA [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 3:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: HELP !!! raid 5 problem You should be able to hotswap the drive and then verify integrity before the system goes down. Obviously in some cases you won't be able to like when the drive fails when the system is powered down. Sometimes it is possible to reconstruct a raid-5 array that has, but I'd be very careful fomr this point on out, you're in some seriously dangerous territory. One problem you *might* be running into that you may be able to fix is if you're manually assigning scsi id's to the drives. Linux assigns device names based on the order that they are found, so if you put in a new disk in a different place, or if your new drive was discovered in a different order then your array might be trying to reconstruct itself wrong. Your comment about ls not working makes me think you had more than just a single driver error. Were you booting off of a raid5 array? You shouldn't be able to put your /boot partition on (software) raid5 as far as I know. What drive was it that failed, your boot drive? Did you install lilo/grub onto multiple disks? Any more information about your config could be helpful. -Dominic Dominic Rivera (503) 947-7308 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/14/03 12:32 PM >>> Simpson, Doug wrote: >I have a compaq proliant ml 350 that is running RH 7.0.

The whole purpose of RAID is to avoid data loss. If 1 drive out of 5 is lost, the RAID set can still reconstruct the missing data using parity information, however, you will suffer a large performance loss for this. The rebuild process should have no affect on the integrity of the raid set, just a performance hit. Something is either configured wrong or faulty. -CC -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
HELP !!! raid 5 problem
I have a compaq proliant ml 350 that is running RH 7.0. It is RAIDed to 5, however, one of the 4 drives crashed yesterday. We hot swapped the old for a new. Rebooted and crossed our figures. The LILO screen comes up and then flashes into a text screen saying "LOADING LINUX ...". It does this about 5 or 6 times and then stops on the "LOADING LINUX ." screen. We cannot access the machine. We can see the drives flashing and it looks like the one drive is fgoing through the rebuilding process. With a 4 drive RAID5 we should still be able to get in - no? Yesterday when the drive crashed the machine was not very usable - ie. could not run "ls" or "find". This is a bit strange for a RAID5 setup. Compaq/hp has told us to wait 20 minutes a gig for the rebuild - 6 hours. We are wondering if this six hours will be wasted time. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. We think the boot sector is corrupt and that is why it will not boot. So we are waitning fo rhte stripping to finish and then fix teh boot sector. Anyone?

smartmontools
I just had a SCSI drive failure on one of my RH boxes. This one is running 7.2 and a RAID 5. A user contacted me to tell me that they could not get to their shared drive. I would like to set something up that would contact me if the drive dies. I have setup a Nagios server but it is only telling me if the server is off line (which it was not). I would like to monitor the SCSI drives themselves. I found the SMARTMONTOOLS and the SMARTSUITE. I tried it on my own box. Does any one use these utils and could you tell me if you like them and if I can set them up to send me info? Or does anyone have a plugin for Nagios that may do this monitoring? Or any other insight would be great. Thanks, Doug "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then Success is sure."

Re: WEBSITE HACKED PREVENTION URGENT
Vijaya, I am not sure what country you are from but if your site has sustained monetary damages (traceable damages) of $1000.00 or more you should also report this to the FBI. Other than that, I would be very leery of using that windows server until it has been completely reformatted. Whether or not you go with Linux or back to Windows is up to your requirements. I know that I worked in a place that required we use a Win2K server for a web site and it eventually got hacked into by some Chinese group. The NSA has published an exhaustive booklet on hardening Win2K boxes and I would recommend downloading that PDF document and going through it...if you are planning on staying with Win2K. The biggest difference between the standard install of server 2K and Linux is that Windows defaults everything "ON" to make it easier to get up and running while Linux requires you to turn on what you need to get it running. The reason that I say you should not feel comfortable with that existing Win2K server is because you do not know if a root kit has been installed or your kernel modified. You don't know what hidden directories you may have on there. For all you know, your corporate server may be serving out illegal materials - i.e. child porn or warez software - or both. I would get another server in place ASAP and take that one down for careful analysis and choose my fate from there. A rash decision one way or the other may land you in a worse predicament down the road. Hope that helps.

Thinking of switching to Linux (from Mac!) and have a fewquestions
I am seriously thinking of switching from Mac OS X to Linux for several reasons. One is I just don't like being "captive" completely to one company for all my hardware and software. I like the freedom and choice available in Linux. Another is I have been having serious problems with Apple hardware quality lately. Anybody interested can read about it in my personal blog at http://injapan.net/.1c3eecb8 I'm not completely inexperienced in Linux. I also have a Linux box running Redhat 9.0 which I use for a forums server. And I have used both Gnome and KDE somewhat, and have installed Linux several times on different machines. So I'm not worried about that so much. But I've never used Linux day-to-day as my main workstation and have a few questions: (1) Can somebody recommend a good quality, not too heavy, not overly expensive notebook computer for day-to-day work in Linux? (2) Do Linux and most Intel-based notebook computers support multiple (external) monitors, either as a second monitor or as a mirrored monitor? I often give presentations and need to connect my notebook computer to a display projector. This is trivially easy with my Mac, and I was just wondering if it would be as easy with Linux? (4) I do my work mostly in English, but with a lot of Japanese mixed in. Is setting up Linux to support Japanese reading and also input not-too-hard? I've tried doing this before in previous versions with mixed success. Are there sufficient applications which support Japanese, such as a good email client? Thanks!

Re: Could not start kdeinit?
Well, I found the cause. Actually, a friend came over and looked at it and he found the cause. I had upgraded this system from RH 7.4 to RH 9.0. Apparently when you do that some old shared libraries were left that conflicted. I would have never in a million years found that. Anyway, he found it by manually issuing the "kdeinit" command and reading through the error messages (which don't appear when you start up from login). He deleted the conflicting libraries and KDE started up fine. doug On 8/10/03 5:20 PM, "Sean Estabrooks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Doug, > >> >> It seems to be broken for all users.

I can't start up KDE. When it first starts, a little, plain, X-window-like error dialog appears that says "Could not start kdeinit". Then things spin about a bit and I am back at the login screen. If I change my session to Gnome I can get in again. I reinstalled all the KDE packages (30 in all) from the Redhat 9.0 CD-ROM, but that didn't change anything. Anybody else have this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks, doug -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
RE: Equivalent to SuSE's YAST fo package management?
I know what you are talking about with YAST2. I used SuSE for several years and really liked it. I ended up with Red Hat because that seems to be the standard in the US. YAST was a very functional tool that allowed you to do quite a bit. I get frustrated with what seems to be a limitation with RH. I overall like RH but it will be a long time before RH is a usable desktop for average users whereas I see SuSE gaining ground more quickly.

I use it to remotely manage several servers. I can make sure that critical updates are handled in a timely fashion - even when on vacation. As far as the skipped packages - some people don't want the latest kernels as soon as they come out - I commend Red Hat for defaulting to NOT install the latest and greatest when it comes to the kernel (as we saw problems two kernels ago). By the way, I was disgruntled at the "pay 60.00 for basic support" to Red Hat like many were - until I found out that I now have preferred download status for new ISO's, updates, etc. It's $60! I have four servers, two of them are critical - I use the $60 update function, the other two are demo versions and will likely stay that way.

Re: Help! Monitor won't wake up from monitor sleep mode.AnythingI can do?
Just to let you know, all's well that ends well. My server software (Web Crossing - great software - and there is a free version now too!) allows server-side scripting. So I was able to execute a Linux "reboot" command via the scripting software and safely restart. I guess I could probably create a "safe terminal" app in Web Crossing server-side JavaScript if I wanted to take the time. :-) Anyway, the monitor was *not* dead. So even though I tried two separate monitors, that was insufficient information. The signal was just not being delivered. It's probably a bug in the screensaver, which I have now turned off. I guess my next step is turning on SSH services so I can login remotely when needed. Is that really safe? :-) Thanks everybody, for all your suggestions. doug -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Unfortunately - and this was bad on my part I guess - I didn't leave *any* way to get into the Linux server except directly. My thinking here was noble - until I understood the security issues involved I didn't want to allow any access except via server system I am running, which just uses 80 (http), 21 (ftp) and 25 (SMTP).

Help! Monitor won't wake up from monitor sleep mode. Anything Ican do?
I usually keep my Redhat 9 display turned off. When I need to see it, I turn it on, jiggle the mouse and it wakes up from its energy-saving mode. But right now the display won't wake up. So I can't see the Linux system at all. It's running ok, but I can't access it. There is no remote login permitted - I always do everything right at the console. I don't even know if I am currently in a shell or not. Is there anything I can do? I tried cntrl-alt-backspace to restart X, but there was no reaction. I tried unplugging and plugging in the monitor itself, but that didn't help. I hate to just power down and power up, because that is always slightly risky for the server software I am currently running. Besides, if the problem is that the graphics board failed for some reason, after starting up I couldn't get in to do anything. Right now everything is running ok, but I do need to get into the system to run backups, etc. Anybody have any suggestions? Any secret Linux "wake up display" keystrokes or anything like that?

Re: rh-l] tv cards
I have not even attempted to install a tv function on Redhat 9. I looked into it about two years ago and gave up - never could get it to work - but I was on SuSE at that time.

RE: netvault
This is the first problem. I have set the backup to stop and start a service /etc/init.d/atria. The stop works and the backup commences to success, but When it tries to start the "startup" script it fails. It has failed many ways, depending on how I right the script. It either starts the service and then just hangs (NetVault that is). The job does not finish and I have to "abort" the job. The technical people have given me many ideas but they have not helped. The script does work if I run it on it's own. Here is the script as I ran it last night. I started using bash and the support suggested c-shell. They also suggested the /usr/Netvault6/util/shexec part and the "exit 0". #!/bin/tcsh ### # script for starting services after backup /usr/Netvault6/util/shexec "/etc/init.d/atria start" exit 0 The second problem is when the program tries to start a backup it IDs a blank tape as "BAD" and then fails. The error message points to the scsi card. I reboot the server and NetVault sees the "BLANK" tape as "BLANK" and I can do a backup. Last night I even manually kicked off the backup myself and it was fine. Have you seen any of these problems? The scsi may not be NetVault. I am just trying to narrow this one down to something. I can send more info and logs. Just seeing if anyone has any ideas.

I ran a program called gq on redhat, which allowed me to connect using ldap to the exchange server and told me that information. The second area to fill in is where it asks you for the name of what you want to call it, I believe it's the last question it asks you. I chose Global Address List, that way it was familiar to users. Once that's done, type d and hit enter, which should bring you back to the configuration options again. Now, in squirrel, the only place you see that address book is when you compose a message.

In fact I find it a rather strange configuration that would set the default route through the ipsec interface. can you post the output of ipconfig /all, route, and tracert ipofpopserver from one of the windows boxes when connected? That is probably the best way to ensure we are on the same page. I just DLed the the user manual for ssh sentinel v 1.4 is that what you are using?

RE: please help POP3
The remote clients are MS OSs running SSH sentinel. I connect to the internet and then connect to the Freeswan gateway. When I am connected to the VPN gateway all my traffic goes down the tunnel until I disconnect the VPN tunnel. The SSH client (ipsec) takes over the connection and directs all traffic to the gateway. Do you know a way to configure the SSH client so that it allows traffic out to the internet without going through the IPSEC tunnel? This of course would be an answer. Any help would be great.

RE: Monitor Shakes....
5-7 turns...
take a ferrite core ( they come in all shapes and sizes,
the ones that look like a doughnut are the ones I use) and
wrap the power cable tightly around the core 5-7 times (do not
overlap the cable. Each turn must be against the ferrite). This
makes an inductive coil with a section of the power cable. The ferrite
in the center of the coil will remove most unwanted
interference from the line.
These ferrite cores are relatively cheap and can be found
at most electronics shops (Radio Shack etc.)
A good link (but deals more with TV Interference) can be quite
helpful with a number if interference problems.

The link will cover a lot of topics so get a good cup of coffee.

RE: Monitor Shakes....
It has been fun to watch this thread. Assuming this is not a plasma or lcd display and since you have found out that lowering the refresh rate to 60 solves the problem, we can assume that this is a power issue. (Unless you live in Europe then we have another problem ;) ) A CRT screen is extremely sensitive to a magnetic field. That is why you will always find a degauss button or function on the monitor. This button applies a charge to a ring around the picture tube degaussing the tube, giving it a much cleaner image (and one that doesn't shake as bad). These screens are very sensitive to magnetic fields (magnets or magnetic fields created by electricity or electrical energy). The circuitry is also very sensitive to RF energy (that created by transmitters as small as cellphones, microwaves, PLC's, the list goes on). But RF energy is not constant like electrical interference. When the microwave quits running then the problem will go away etc. That is why I think that yours may be more related to electricity or a magnet pull (AC in high voltage lines over the house can create a magnetic looking problem as well.) If you have a high voltage line over the house you may want to consider harnessing that energy by (h, nevermind that thought is illegal anyway) The first comment you mentioned is probably the best one you have. Put a choke (ferrite core) around the signal cable on the monitor. It may already have one or two (big fat round things close to the end(s) of the cables). If those are there, then you may consider putting one of those on the ac cable as well. (5-7 tightly wrapped turns around a medium size ferrite core will get rid of any signals on the power line you have coming through). Many power supply circuits are not designed well enough to remove strong signal problems on the ac line so that may be an option. In the meantime you may want to keep an eye out for something electrical close by. As for the UPS, try running on the UPS and kicking the main breaker off in the house and see if it goes away. These are really fun to find. Good Luck..

After moving into a new home, my monitor has developed this odd "quiver." There are these slow undulations in the screen that are there even if everything else in the room (everything except the computer and the monitor, that is) is turned off. They even continue to appear when I pull the UPS out of the wall so everything is running of batteries instead of wall power. The monitor refresh is at 65Hz. I can use xvidtune to modify the frequence down to 60Hz at which point the undulations disappear. Looks like a beat problem with the line frequency. My wife's iMac has the same problem except I can't change her refresh rate to eliminate the quiver. Anyone have any clues how I can eliminate this apart from the refresh rate?

Here is the problem I think you are going to run into. Not only are you going to have probmes seeing the menu but if you minimize the desktop (which you should be able to do in your scenario) and then max it back up your start bar will now be behind the desktop. This is because they are two different X programs. In KDE the start bar can be started as "kicker" and I run it seperately. I don't need the desktop for any reason since I do not have any icons populated there. It is a good way to access all of your programs. In the meantime you may be able to move (with the titlebar of the start bar - if available) the start bar up a little. As for a setup to do this automatically I will wait for other answers as well.

It should be in your iptables. Since I don't run the GUI I can't help you through that. However, if you are root you can go to the shell and run ntsysv and deselect the "iptables" option and then close out of that and run "service network restart". Now you should be able to do anything you want. But keep in mind if this is connected to the Internet you now have your pants down. Iptables are great but it can be a bear to manually configure correctly. This is the quick way to unlock the security. I always start with the install as no security and then manually configure the iptables according to what I need before I ever stick a cat-5 cable into the card. iptables and ipchains are extremely valuable tools.

More on lm_sensors
I had some more time to kill on sensor config today ;) and I had success! I cannot find the how-to that got me running on the LTSP Server again, unfortunately, but I recall running /prog/detect/sensors-detect depmod -a and sensors -s although not necessarily in that order. Funny thing is that on a whim I copied the settings from my duallie ( dual Intel P3 on an Acorp motherboard) and ran them on my dev pc (AMD cpu and Epox motherboard.) VERY different systems, but the sensor turns out to work the same! sensors-detect never did find the chip on the AMD pc, but with the i2c info entered it works fine. NOTE on i2c: with RedHat 8 it is built into the kernel although I don't think the chip support is complete yet; with 7.3 I had to download and compile i2c from the lm_sensors site to get it working.

lm_sensors
I have recently upgraded some machines to RH8 (from 7.3) and I have a definite problem with lm_sensors in RH8: it just will not work! On the first pc I thought it might be a problem with the sensor chip, so I tried windoze for a day, and the chip was fine. I gave up on that one (for now) and did the RH8 install on my LTSP server since everything else looked good; this machine has been running LTSP in RH7.3 for quite a while now, and lm_sensors installed and worked perfectly the first time, yet in RH8 I can NOT get any sensor data at all. Anybody else messing with sensors?

Alternative Shell Menu for RedHat Linux
Hi Folks, I am looking to create an alternative shell menu, using open source software similar to pdmenu which was designed for Debian GNU/Linux. Does anyone know of, or can recommend, any shell menu type programs which are relatively simple to install and easy to configure with a moderate level of unix knowledge? I would certainly appreciate the help, either privately or on list.

RPM's
Hi all, I have a quick question about rpm's.. I want to install the alsa sound system, freshrpms.net has the rpm's for this but it only has the 2.4.18.18 kernal rpm, and i'm running 2.4.18.19 kernel. I guess my question is can i just issue a rpm rebuild to bring it up to date with the 19 kernel?

radius/wireless
Has anyone setup a radius with a wireless access point. I have a 3com 8000 access point and a Cistron Radius. It has been a while since I worked with the radius, but I do not see a dictionary.3com in the raddb directory. Do I need this to get the access point and the radius to work. Maybe I should build a different radius. Any thoughts?
