Re: USB hard drive with Linux?
if you have no scsi, it will be /dev/sda you may need to modprobe usb-storage first, and of course the usb filesystem will need to be mounted. /home/greg# mount -v | grep usb usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) after that it should work just fine. -G On 22-Oct-02 Jonathan Gaudette wrote: > How do you find out what usb device your hard drive is connected to?

Informix and Red Hat 7.3
Anyone running Informix 9.21 on Red Hat 7.3 ?
I'm sure I had a working setup when I first installed Red Hat 7.3. Haven't used
it for awhile. Wentr to retry the Informix server last night, and realised that
it wasn't starting (and hasn't for quite some time).
My Red Hat 7.3 is quite up to date (all erratta applied). Not sure when
Informix stopped running. When I run oninit, it tells me:
oninit: Fatal error in shared memory creation
When I strace oninit, I see
writev(2, [{"oninit", 6}, {": ", 2}, {"relocation error", 16}, {": ", 2},
{"/opt/informix/lib/libpthread.so."..., 33}, {": ", 2}, {"symbol __on_exit,
version GLIBC_"..., 90}, {"", 0}, {"", 0}, {"\n", 1}], 10oninit: relocation
error: /opt/informix/lib/libpthread.so.0: symbol __on_exit, version GLIBC_2.0
not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
which is supposedly fixed by renaming /opt/informix/lib/libpthread.so.0 - I
tried renaming /opt/informix/lib/libpthread.so.0, and oninit will get past the
library load problem, but will still fail to startup, with the same error
message (and with no clue in the strace - apparently the "fail to create shared
memory" is coming from a sub process.
Anyone having luck with this, or ran into the problem, and have a solution ?
thx, and rgds,
-Greg

calendar question
Hi, I'm looking for a replacement for outlook calendaring. (not so much personal calender management, more on the global level). for example. we have a shared conference room in out organization. Presently there is a calender used for arranging the booking. People who want to use the conference room, will pull up outlook, pull up the calendar for the conference room, and put their name in the time slot that they wish to book. I'm looking for a Linux based replacement for the above. Will evolution's calendering do something like this, or is that strictly "personal calendaring" ? (and what's a good "global calendering" solution ?) ---------- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 17-Sep-02 Time: 13:36:12 If each of us have one object, and we exchange them, then each of us still has one object.

Re: Whats in my kernel?
I believe the kernel config file is /boot/config-##.##.## as installed when
you installed the kernel.
I believe that you can use this option file to build an exact duplicate of the
installed kernel.

upgrading a floppyless / cdromless system
he dependencies, and you need to add the dependency lines to /mnt/initrd/modules/modules.dep (use grep and >> to do the dependency update). 10) Next is the tricky part. You need to copy the actual module(s) from the drvnet /mnt/drvnet/modules.cgz file to the initrd /mnt/initrd/modules/modules.cgz file. Note that these 2 files are cpio archives, created with crc: Note: you can determine the type of archive by doing this: # gzip -dc /mnt/drvnet/modules.cgz > modules.foo # file modules.foo modules.foo: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with CRC) This tells you the type of archive, and the man page will tell you the necessary switchs for extraction/recreation. First unpack the the drvnet archive: # gzip -dc /mnt/drvnet/modules.cgz | cpio -idmuv Then delete all files except your driver. In the case of natsemi, there is only one driver file I need. This is what I did. (note the cpio archive is unpacked into the directory 2.4.18-3BOOT for RH7.3 - for your distro this might be different). # cd 2.4.18-3BOOT/ # mkdir tmp # mv -i * tmp mv: cannot move `tmp' to a subdirectory of itself, `tmp/tmp' # mv -i tmp/natsemi.o . # rm -rf tmp/ # cd .. Next unpack the initrd modules cpio archive on top of this: # gzip -dc /mnt/initrd/modules/modules.cgz | cpio -idmuv Finally, create a replacement modules.gz as follows. This will pack up a cpio archive, and compress it. # find 2.4.18-3BOOT/ | cpio -o -H crc | gzip -9 > modules.cgz Now replace the original /mnt/initrd/modules/modules.cgz with this new archive: # cp modules.cgz /mnt/initrd/modules/modules.cgz 11) unmount the floppy images, and compress the initrd. # umount /mnt/initrd # umount /mnt/drvnet # gzip -9c initrd.img > my_initrd.img 12) Finally copy the vmlinuz and initrd.img files to the target system. (If you had to create an updated initrd image, be sure to use that one instead.) Create a boot entry. A lilo entry would look like this: image=/boot/vmlinuz-RH7.3_install label=RH73_Install initrd=/boot/initrd_nc.img-RH7.3_install note that I renamed the vmlinuz & initrd images to something more appropriate for me.

So Gregory needs to check > whether anything is changing the default signal handling for SIGCHLD > before he calls waitpid(). The code is kinda of a library function, so it needs to temporarily inhibit the main program's SIGCHLD handler. The initial attempt at doing this was to install an SIG_IGN handler, but this of course has race conditions. I have found that installing a private signal handler mostly solves this, but there is still the possibility that the signal handler will be called BEFORE the fork returns (back to the original problem, eh :), so the signal handler will just save off the wait()'ed pid/status, and the parent will do a pause loop while the sig handler's returned pid != the child pid as returned by fork. So long as there are not more than one child process that can die, this works. The proper action would probably be for the parent to block the signal, and then do the fork, and the child/parent enable the signal in their respective threads. But using "signal()" I don't see how to issue a block / unblock. I think I need to upgrade to sigaction in order to programmatically block/unblock specific signals. -Greg -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 18-Apr-02 Time: 15:11:16 If each of us have one object, and we exchange them, then each of us still has one object.

programming question.
Hi all, this is only slightly off topic. I know that there are alot of good programmer types here, so here goes. scenerio: program forks/execv's another task, then does a waitpid() to reap the exit status. sounds relatively straight forward. with today's faster cpu's, and the fact that they can do alot more in a typical "timeslice", combined w/ cheaper (and therefore larger) ram sizes (so that a process being forked/esedv'ed might actually be in the disk cache), it is actually quite possible for the forked/execv'd program to start and run to completion _before_ the parent process issues the waitpid(). WHen that happens, the waitpid() returns an ECHILD error, and the exit return status is lost. So I guess my question is: what's the properway to spawn a task to ensure that you will definately trap the exit status. Experianced programmer here. just looking for some hints/suggestions. thx, and rgds, -Greg ---------- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 16-Apr-02 Time: 14:54:46 If each of us have one object, and we exchange them, then each of us still has one object.

Other differences between sending as mail and ftping (other than the ones already mentioned) include: sending as mail will force all transfers thru /var/spool/mqueue, which might not be setup to take on such a daunting filesize. Next the file is copied to the users inbox, so there must be an allocation of space in that directory/partition as well. There will be need of space to save the decoded attachment to (plus the fact that some decoders make use of a temporary file). That is to say that even if you use the mail reader to decode the attachment "invisibly" for you, please realize that the mail reader physically decoded the file, and saved it on disk in some temporary file, thus (at the minimum) doubling your disk space requirements. most e-mail users will save mail (really dumb for attachments that are files located on the system elsewhere), so you need the storage space there as well. When users use ftp, they control the final destination, and there is no intermediate directory (like /var/spool/mqueue) requirement, and there is no double (or worse) copying. ftp, and mail are NOT the same. sending large files by e-mail requires considerably more resources. -Greg > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Hidong Kim > Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 11:00 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: OT: really big e-mails > > > Dave Reed wrote: >> >> >> I've seen it cripple a Solaris mail server when someone (on the IT >> staff no less, but not the person in charge of the Unix machines) > > I can sympathize with this situation.

network packet errors - how to track down ?
Hi, I'm seeing the following in my syslog: Nov 16 12:59:57 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 367264051, dropping request Nov 16 12:59:57 camelot kernel: svc: short len 4, dropping request Nov 16 12:59:58 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 367329493, dropping request Nov 16 12:59:58 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 367395115, dropping request Nov 16 12:59:58 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 367460481, dropping request Nov 16 12:59:58 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 367526053, dropping request Nov 16 12:59:58 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 367591557, dropping request Nov 16 12:59:59 camelot kernel: svc: short len 4, dropping request Nov 16 12:59:59 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 367657089, dropping request Nov 16 12:59:59 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 367722725, dropping request As you can see, I'm getting 4 or 5 of these per second. Needless to say, my syslog is filling up. I've determined that the "svc:" is being logged by the the RPC services support withing the kernel. I've determined that these logs are a result of some incoming packets. That is to say if I walk over to the router that routes the packets to the server, and selectively unplug the lan points, the messages will stop when I unplug a certain lanpoint. Unfortunately, that lanpoint is the corporate feed into our router. All the PC's in our department (that connect directly to the router) seem to be quite ok. I am suspecting that the svc error might be a result of some PC with an improper netmask (but I'm only guessing). My question is: is there any way to get the IP # of the offensive packets ? is there any way to monitor the packets on the local lan, and display the IP numbers, and header ? I am presently running Red Hat 7.2, all eratta applied Kernel version: 2.4.9-13 (also happens on 2.4.7-10) Thoughts, hints appreciated. -Greg ---------- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 16-Nov-01 Time: 13:24:38 You can release software that's good, software that's inexpensive, or software that's available on time.

if you have errors on the drive, mounting the drive and writing to it
can destroy no only what you add, but also whatever you already have there.
I would concentrate on the cause of the errors 1st.

It means that due to the sizes you specified for the partition, fdisk needed to allocate part of a cylinder (and the rest of that cylinder is waster/unused). This is your clue (when you are running fdisk) that you might want to increase the size of the partition, to be able to claim the rest of the cylinder. (it's essentially free space that otherwise goes unused). -Greg -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 22-Dec-00 Time: 11:24:04 On the contrary of what you may think, your hacker is fully aware of your company's dress code.

Is there a way to do that and keep all the symlinks too? 2 ways come to mind: in either case mount the cd (to /mnt/cdrom in this example), and have a directory on a partition with 650 (or how much ever) disk free: 1) cd /mnt/cdrom; tar -cpf - . | (cd ; tar -xvpf - ) or 2) cd /mnt/cdrom; find . | cpio -pdmv as I recall, one of these sets the owner of symlinks incorrectly, and the other preserves the owner, but pragmatically speaking, that's a non-issue.

This file (/etc/sysconfig/clock) gets read by rc.sysinit and sets things up during the boot process. hence a reboot is necessary if you wish to see what it will do "the next time you reboot". and, as I recall, timetool does not deal w/ the UTC/ARC settings, so if they are wrong, they will continue to be wrong. this is from memory from a long time ago. it is possible that timetool has been either updated or fixed, but I suspect that this might not be the case. > MB > -- > e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Bart: Hey, why is it destroying other toys?

RE: Strategies for NFS systems?
You are being much too vague for useful response to be generated. for example, give an example of an rpm that has the problems that you are talking about. I suspect that it will be an rpm that would be better installed to each system anyways. typically a distribution is installed to each client. all 3rd parrt s/w is installed to either /usr/local or /opt, and the packager generally realizes that they are 3rd party software, and will usually configure themselves to /opt if the above is properly done, then the server exports /opt and/or /usr/local and the cliens all nfs mount /opt and/or /usr/local stuff in /usr, /lib, /etc, etc, are not meant to be exported. rgds, -Greg On 23-Oct-00 Michael Jinks wrote: > Greetings. > > RPM and NFS are both great tools for simplifying network administration, but > I see an apparent conflict and I'm not sure what the "standard" approach is. > > Suppose I want to install an rpm package for use on the network.

The electoral college is required _on the first round of voting_ to vote for the canditate that they represent. After the 1st round vote, if there is not a winner, they are free to choose their vote. Due to the nature of the electoral college (all the votes from a particular state go to 1 candidate, and are not split as they were by the general populace), it is possible for a candidate to carry large states (with large electoral vote count) by a small majority (or even a plurality if there are more than 2 candidates), and lose smaller states, totally, end up with less than majority (or plurality) of the vote, yet be a clear cut winner in the electoral college. not very easy to orchestrate, but it is possible. and off topic :) rgds, -Greg -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 20-Oct-00 Time: 09:26:02 If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...Oh, wait a minute, he already does. -- ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

went thru a IP range number change in our department, and instead of using
linuxconf, I found it easier to
$EDITOR `grep {key text, such as old IP} \`find /etc -type f\``

RE: [OFF TOPIC] Dell PowerEdge
We have a PowerEdge 2400 and several Optliplexes, all came w/ Linux pre-installed. if you decide to re-install, there are a few rpm's that Dell supplies on the disk, that are not on the cdrom. things like x config files, and sound driver for their onboard sound. much of the stuff is in /del as I recall.

I have no idea. you might want to check this out yourself if you are considering using one of these. for me, that fact that they did this, and then, against all logic refused to admit that there was a problem (even thou 100% of all that product was affected), until the class action suit was brought against them, that is reason enough for me to give them a miss, especially when there are alternatives in the market that are rock solid, and have no such problems. rgds, -Greg -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 04-Sep-00 Time: 10:18:26 If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...Oh, wait a minute, he already does. -- ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I'm assuming that /home is on it's own partition (you might clarify this). when you say "no more /home", could youy explain what you mean by that. The partition is still on the disk, correct ?

I used to be able to communicate in both directions. i.e. I used to be able to mount W95 shares on RH6.2, and I used to be able to mount Linux shares on W95 (actually this still works). Under W2k, neither direction works. I initially suspected the plain text password (encryption) thing, so I hunted down the registry entry for W2K and applied that fix. still nada. anyone got this working ? rgds, -Greg -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 07-Aug-00 Time: 09:16:01 If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...Oh, wait a minute, he already does. -- ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

If you are saying that you boot and end up at a "#" primpt, then that strongly suggests that you did not boot cleanly. i.e. some major error was detected, and displayed on the screen. We need to know _what_ that message is. You can use Page Up/Page Down to scroll the screen, if necessary. -Greg -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 21-Jul-00 Time: 13:19:34 If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...Oh, wait a minute, he already does. -- -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

That was what I was afraid of. 2 questions: 1) I note that the libstdc++ include directory is: /usr/include/g++-3 is it possible to install this alongside the egcs include directory (/usr/include/g++) without problems ? 2) is it possible to install both libstdc++ libraries, the old one for compatibility, the newer one as default ? thx, and rgds, -Greg > -- Juha > > > > -- > To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" > as the Subject. -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 06-Jul-00 Time: 10:35:50 If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...Oh, wait a minute, he already does. -- -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

start with du.
as root:
cd /home
du -s *
This will tell you were the bulk lies. Then go into that directory
and repeat the du.
I also wrote a script that will do a du in a directory, and sort the
results, giving you a sorted list of usage.
#!/bin/bash
du -s * | awk '{printf("%6s %s\n", $1, $2)}' | sort

GCC compiler problem on RH 6.2
Hi, I've got a development system I am setting up at work, which will be based upon RH 6.x, probably 6.2 in doing some preliminary testing I have learned that the gcc compiler supplied with 6.1/6.2 (have not tried 6.0) fails to compile our C++ application (and our application us sufficiently large enough that recoding it is out of the question). RH 6.x uses ecgs 1.1, and the compile problem seems to be specific to ecgs (possibly ecgs 1.1). I know that gcc 2.7.2 works fine, and I have tried compiling under gcc 2.95, ad that seems to work fine as well (though we haven't done any testing at all on the image). Does anyone know what issues might be involved with swapping compilers on a RH 6.x system, either forward to gcc 2.95, or backwards to gcc 2.7.2 thanks for any thoughts/feedback, rgds, -Greg -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 05-Jul-00 Time: 15:12:46 If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...Oh, wait a minute, he already does. -- -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

You say that you haven't made changes to config files, and then you cite that /etc must be on root. you're not saying that you shifted /etc to a non-root partition, but you're alluding that that is what you did. If this is the case, then boot from a rescue floppy, or a rh6.2 cd in rescue mode, and mount / and whever you put /etc, and copy /etc back to the root partition. by the way, make sure that /bin, /sbin, /lib are also on root, or you'll still have problems. If you really did move /etc, then you might want to consider a reading of the linux filesystem standard where things like this are spelled out. rgds, -Greg -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 30-Jun-00 Time: 10:00:39 If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...Oh, wait a minute, he already does. -- -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

What the heck did that? do you use the online help ? that pops up a new netscape as I remember. also, if you "close" the last netscape window _instead_ of "exit"ing, then netscape does not exit.

tcl/tk, Tix, and BLT
I note that in RH6.2, Tix has been integrated into the tcltk build, but blt is done separately, _and without tix_ After an install of the respective tcl/tk, tix, and blt packages, you have a tixwish (built out of the tcltk package), that includes tix and tcl/tk, and you have a bltwish, build from the blt package, linked against only tcl/tk, i.e. without tix. so if you have a program that uses both tix, and blt, the installed set of wishs do not suffice. (I had to rebuild the blt package, and manually edit in calls to Tix_Init in the appropriate places). I'm just curious: why wasn't blt built as part of the tcltk bundle, (as tix was), or alternately why wasn't tix enabled in the blt build ? (My initial guess is that the 1st probably makes the most sense...) -Greg -- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 26-Jun-00 Time: 10:04:03 If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...Oh, wait a minute, he already does. -- -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
