Re: traceroute
Yes the computer is connected to a network, which is mine, and I do have a linksys router/firewall, but I can do tracert from my windows box ok, but not from Linux. Apples and oranges. Most if not all Windows traceroute clients use icmp whereas most *nix traceroute clients use udp unless you tell it to use icmp. FWIW, I have a Linksys router/firewall also and saw the same symptoms as you. Using the -I switch on traceroute allows it to work from Linux. As the a previous poster mentioned, this will force traceroute to use ICMP instead of the default in Linux UDP packets. /jft -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

When we try and make other partitions Disk Druid tells us that there could be problems with the bootloader, presumably due to this free space. Anyone got any ideas? Andrew Cannon, Nuclear Technology (J2), NNC Ltd, Booths Hall, Knutsford, The warning is due to the fact your /boot is going to be above cylinder 1024. Provided your computer BIOS can support booting (i.e. LBA mode) above this cylinder then recent versions of lilo and grub can work in this situation. For lilo you would need a line in lilo.conf that says lba32. For grub it is supposed to be able to automatically determine if you BIOS supports LBA and hence allow you to make use of your whole disk.

Just curious. Because if I make my hostname able.george.smth I am sure

Maybe I am wrong but it seems that this is what happened to me before..
It's shortened because 'hostname' is executed in /etc/profile:
HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`
/bin/hostname shows the fully qualified name on machines
configured with a fully qualified name.
[jft@zx750 jft]$ /bin/hostname
zx750.tadlocks.net
So in /etc/profile the line:
HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`
is actually setting the HOSTNAME variable to the fully qualified
name.
The way the default bash prompt looks is determined from
/etc/bashrc , note this line:
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne \033_${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}\033\\'
The part in we are concerned with is ${HOSTNAME%%.*}
This takes the HOSTNAME variable (set in /etc/profile) and then
drops everything after the first '.'.
Example:
[jft@zx750 jft]$ echo ${HOSTNAME%%.*}
zx750
and this is what you see in the bash prompt.
Hope this helps.

By default it does want to use NTLM to authenticate you, but I also believe you can allow it to use Basic authentication which would allow Mozilla, Netscape, etc to work with the Proxy Server. I think to change this on the Proxy Server you have to make the configuration change under the default web site in IIS and check off Basic as an authentication type. There's no way the original poster can use an MS proxy server on Linux? The above steps should allow a non-MS web browser to work through the MS Proxy Server. One thing to keep in mind though is that other non-web based services need the MS Proxy client to be able to use the Proxy service for access to the Internet. (this includes telnet, ssh, smtp, etc.). There is not a Proxy Client for non-MS machines. If the original poster must use an MS product then one could upgrade to MS ISA Server which allows clients on the local LAN to become NAT clients bypassing the need for a Proxy client.

That means no more security or any other RHN upgrades after that date. Really, is this true? Where is this at on the Redhat website?

Now, periodically, the machine will forget about the built int network card (IBM eepro100). When it works, everything works great. When it stops, I can't ping anything except the local IP address (not even my direct connected router). The only way I can clear it is to /etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop, then start. When the problem happens, the network card doesn't appear down, but stopping and restarting makes it work correctly. I've verified all the DNS and routing information. This is a DHCP box, so it's getting many of the network settings from the DHCP server (there are two other linux machines on the same network that work fine). Anybody seen anything like this? I have the same laptop and am running RedHat 8.0 also. I experienced the exact same behavior as you described. Apparently there is an issue with the power management of that particular NIC. Here is what I did to resolve the issue. First download the eepro100 diag utility from the following site: http://www.scyld.com/diag Once you have it you need to compile it (the commands are given at the bottom of the C source code). Once you have the resulting binary file named eepro-diag, run it with the -ee option. This shows the details of the eeprom. When it reports back it will most likely say Sleep mode is enabled and give you the switches necessary to disable it (-G 0 -w -w -f). Once you run the diag tool with those switches you will need to cold boot the computer to make the changes take affect. You can probably find some additional information by searching http://groups.google.com on 'eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done timeout'. Or look at a brief blurb here: http://www.tux.org/hypermail/linux-eepro100/2002-Jun/0064.html Hope this helps! /jft -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
