RE: Using RJ45 crimp tool

[Mark Neidorff]

How to actually use the tool itself:

First, I have 2 crimp tools.  One I bought long, long ago and another that 
I got for free with a spool of CAT5 cable.  The free one looks good, but 
doesn't make a reliable cable.  The one I got long, long ago really works 
well.  There is a quality difference.

Here's what I do... Strip off a couple of inches of the outer insulation
off of the bundle pair.

Get the wires in the right order, but as you are
doing that, work them, work them, work them so that they are straight,
flat and parallel. (This takes some time.  Be patient.  The time spent
here is well spent)  

Now hold the wires so that the bundle in the right order is flat and
sticks straight out.

Cut the wires so that they are all the same length.  Make your cut as
perpandicular to the wire as possible.  (A straight cut is important).

Now pick up an RJ45 plug and slide the wires into the plug.  Now push them
further in.  Now push them still further in.

Look through the plastic of the RJ45 plug and make sure that they are
pushed all the way in!!!  If not, keep pushing.

Slide the plug into the matching opening in the crimp tool (it only goes
in one way) and squeeze the handles of the crimping tool very hard.  
Squeeze them several more times to make sure that you have a good
connection.

Use a cable tester to check the cable and you are done.

Re: hp laserjet 1200 series

[Mark Neidorff]

Patrick,

Could you give me a little more information.  I have a LJ1300 which is 
also postscript capable.  I have it set up as a postscript printer under 
lprng (redhat 7.3 wouldn't allow me to use the latest cups +foomatic and 
friends).  Depending on the documnet, I can print one page OK, but then 
the second page and beyond get garbled.

Thanks,

Mark

Well, I got an e-mail notification from them with links to the files

Re: /var/log/message error question

[Mark Neidorff]

I'm assuming that you are running rp-pppoe for your pppoe connection. I 
recently switched to britsys.net ('cause they give me a static ip for 
very little more than I was paying for dynamic) so I don't use pppoe 
anymore, but that error means that the connection was dropped for 
inactivity (something wicked).

Re: Newbie: iptables, gui firewall suggestions

[Mark Neidorff]

I didn't want to try to learn the internals of iptables (blush). I found a 
gui frontend to iptables called "guarddog" that is really easy to use. 
Guarddog uses /etc/rc.firewall as its script.  I never used redhat's 
firewall, so I'm not sure where it is located.  Go to 
www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog and take a look.  It will meet your 
needs (providing you can live without redhat's firewall).

You have my sympathies. I've had problems getting my shiny new LJ1300 to 
work properly in linux.  Did you install CUPS when you installed 7.3? If 
not, its on the CDs (but I don't know which). The latest version of cups 
is 3.0 (AFAIK), but it won't work with 7.3--you'd need to upgrade GLIBC 
which would break lots of other things.  If your printers are supported 
directly in CUPS, you should be all set.

There is a utility that is installed with CUPS to switch between lprng and 
CUPS.  If yo try to run the CUPS configuration program, it will tell you 
what to do.

Another thing to try is 

www.hpoj.sourceforeg.net

Take a look for your printer(s).

Well, having said all of thatsome instances of the "are you sure" 
syndrome can be eliminated.  If you get it when you use the rm,cp or mv 
commands, take a look at your aliases.  You can change those.  For other 
programs, I agree its just annoying.  I use xcdroast to burn CDs.  I 
really like it, EXCEPT that it always asks me if I really want to quit. 
There's nothing that I can do about that one, except .

Yes.  It depends on the needs of your system.  Can you identify one 
directory in the /usr partition that is taking up most of the space on 
your 15 Gig /usr partition? perhaps /usr/src? (If it is /usr/src, do 
you really need to keep all of that stuff on live storage, or can it be 
archived to CDRs?)  BTW, you can use the du command to tell you how much 
space each folder occupies.  Just  a thought.

In order to use a symbolic link, the new disk drive will have to be 
mounted somewhere.  Its more round-about than the direct method.

Cisco Router

[Mark Neidorff]

I'm in the process of switching ISPs. One that I'm considering offers a 
Cisco 687 DSL router.  When I went to the Cisco site, I saw that this 
router is unsupported and past "end of life."  Is this a bad choice based 
on being past end of life or is this router a solid product that should 
give me no problems?

Thanks a lot,

How many ip address question

[Mark Neidorff]

What an enviable position to be in I'm about to switch ISPs and one of 
my choices is how many static IPs I want.  So, of course, it depends on my 
network.  OK, my network physically 1 linux box to which 7 other computers 
attach.  I want the linux box to be the firewall and mail server for the 
network, so each of the 7 other computers can have an ip in the 192.168. 
range.  I'd also like to be able to run a web server and a caching dns 
server.  Of course, I get 1 static IP for free, and each additional one 
costs a bit per month.  My question is how many IPs would I need to make 
this all work?

 
Thanks,

Mark

I agree that that folder is "strange." (Never noticed it, but it is in the 
log file.)  I also don't know how it got there.
I should have specified that the above came from the system 
/etc/procmailrc output.  All recipes seem to work OK.  Here is the 
/etc/procmailrc file:

Procmail (???) error

[Mark Neidorff]

I don't know what I changed...it must have been something that affected
mail delivery within my local domain.  I run a mail server on my linux box
and using procmail, it successfully receives and sends mail across the
Internet for me and my family (on 192.168.1.x).

But when I try to send mail to other computers on my local network, the
mail does not get delivered.  What happenes is that the mail "sits" in
/var/spool/mqueue along with a ".lock" file.  I can force the mail to get
delivered by rm'ing the .lock file repeatedly and checking for delivery
with mailq.  When the mail is finally delivered, I must manually "killall
procmail" and then rm all of the files in the /var/spool/mqueue directory.  
Once I do that, mail delivery resumes as normal.

My analysis of the procmail.log file is that at some point in the delivery
chain the ".lock" file isn't being removed and things stop there.  There
doesn't seem to be anything wrong in /var/log/messages or
/var/log/maillog.  

Is there anything else thatCan anyone see how I can fix the problem?

Here is a "small" excerpt from my procmail.log file that shows the 
problem when I (mark) send an e-mail to another user on my local network 
(merri).  Thanks for any help,

Mark

Whose crontab is running this command?  Check to make sure that user has 
permission to execute the script and all of the programs that are called 
by it  Also, how about giving cron a hour and minute to run the

I'll say "no" its not OK all the time.  The /var filesystem is there for
"variable" data.  /usr is there for "static" files.  Many people feel that
/usr should be mounted read-only (and on many large systems /usr is on a
remote system that is read-only) since things on that partition shouldn't
change often.  That's the theory.  If I had to get through the night on a
system that's running out of space, I'd sym-link into /usr space as a
temporary fix also, but I'd also look for a new or additional hdd since 
they seem to be cheap right now.

Looks to me like someone/some-process tried to shut the server down (run 
level 0) on June 19th, but for some unknown reason the kill script for the 
sshd never completed (hung?) and so the shutdown stopped there. If it is 
important, you should check the logs for June 19th to see what happened 
during that shutdown.

Printing problems RH 7.3

[Mark Neidorff]

Hi All,

Well, when printing works, its easy.  When it doesn't...

I'm running a Redhat 7.3 system and got a new HP LaserJet 1300.  I tried 
setting it up with cups, but in order to get the newest drivers to work, 
I'd have to upgrade so much that I would have to upgrade to RH 8 or 
9--something I'm not willing to do at this time--so I tried setting the 
printer up with LPRng.  

I chose the laserjet 1200 (closest printer?) and the postscript driver.  
The ascii test page prints properly, but the postscript test page does not
print at all.  If I 

$cat ascii_file | lpr

it prints properly.  

If I try to print a web page from Mozilla, the light on the printer 
flashes and flashes, but doesn't print.  The same thing happens when I 
try to print the postscript test page.  I have VMWARE 3.2.0 installed and 
updated.  I have win98 running as a virtual machine and have installed the 
"laserjet III+ poscript" driver.  Things print almost perfectly from the 
virtual machine.  (I use the vm for quicken.  I can print 2 full pages of 
checks, but I seem to find a random character error here and there and 
when it gets to the third page, I get a postscript error printed.

I have also tried the generic postscript driver and the raw device driver 
to no avail.  Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to get the printer working 
properly in linux?

Thanks,

Mark

Or, to put it another way...if you have your kernel sources installed, the
Nvidid install program will compile the necessary modules for you.  BTW,
its just in general a good idea to have the current kernel sources
installed.  Every once in a while you will need to compile something that 
requires that you have the kernel sources there.

RE: Adsl, pppoe, network card

[Mark Neidorff]

I use a linksys card and each time I upgrade I have to re-compile the
drivers (tulip and pci-scan. AS I recall, the tulip from netdrivers may
not work. If that is the case you have to go through the Linksys site.)  
I can't remember if my source code came from the netdrivers package or if
I got it through a link on the Linksys web site.  I do recall at one point 
in compiling the drivers gettting an error in the compile.  I commented 
out the offending line(s) in the source code and then the driver has 
worked flawlessly.  As usual, YMMV.

Re: easy question

TANSTAAEQWithout more information about your system--RH version, 
internet connection type, firewall, etc. I can only make a guess. Check 
your /var/log/messages file when this occurs.  Your firewall could be 
blocking your access to the net.  Or, you could not be connected even 
though you think you are.  Or, you could have the dns server set 
incorrectly. Or..

CUPS printer installation problem-failed dependencies

[Mark Neidorff]

Hi All,

I think that I'm making the much harder than need be...or that it can't be 
done.

I have a RH 7.3 system and I've gotten a new HP Laserjet 1300 printer. OK, 
so I checked and found that there is a driver for this printer on the CUPS 
site. I download it only to find out that I am missing a component which I 
must get with a new version of ghostscript.   Ghostscript won't 
install cause it needs GLIBC_2_3 and mine is glibc_2_2.  OK, fine.  I'll 
just build ghostscript from source...but when I try to do that, it tells 
me that in order to build ghostscript, I need gimp-print-devel. So, I dl 
the source of gimp-print-devel and rpm tells me that ghostscript-devel is 
needed by gimp-print-devel. And, of course, ghpostscript is needed by 
ghostscript-devel (another failed dependency). 

Normally, I'd put everything on one rpm command line and let rpm figure 
everything out (as good old rpm should) but some packages are src and 
others are "regular" rpms.  

I worry about upgrading glibc because the upgrade may break many things. 
My questions then are:
1. Will upgrading glibc break things as I fear?  (If not, then I do that 
and the install should work)
2. Failing that, is there a way to get the ghostscript, gimp-devel, etc. 
install to work?
3. the CUPS driver is a postscript driver for this printer.  If I don't go 
with CUPS, what alternate do I have for printing with my new printer?

Thanks for any thoughts,

Mark

Re: Which ethernet chip on MB of HP pavilion 762n

[Mark Neidorff]

Thanks.  I did just that, but it only gives me codes.  Here is what I got:

BUS NUMBER 0

d function 0 1 29 30 31
vendor ID8086  8086   8086   8086   8086
Dev.   ID1a30  1a31   24c2   244e   24c0
Sub V  ID1462     1462      
Sub D  ID5790     5790      
Class Code   0600  0604   0c03   0604   0601

Then there is also a BUS NUMBER 1 and 2 with more devices.  Here is what I
am guessing... Bus 0 is the motherboard, bus 1 is agp and 2 is pci (these
are just guesses.  Please correct me if I am wrong).  "Sub V ID" is a
'vendor sub-ID' and "Sub D ID" is a 'device sub-ID'.  Where can I find
tables for these ID numbers?

Thanks,

Mark

Which ethernet chip on MB of HP pavilion 762n

[Mark Neidorff]

I'm trying to set up the above mentioned computer. It has an MSI
(Microstar) motherboard.  I need to find out what driver to use for both
linux and  win98 (client request) for the on-board ethernet
controller. Any help is

Well, since lilo is text based, the best you can do is ascii-art. You use
the "message=" directive. See 'man lilo.conf' for details.  I never tried
the ANSI escape sequences, but it may be worth a try depending on which
VGA mode you boot into. The lilo prompt comes AFTER the message file is
displayed, so you are limited to 24 lines.  I used to display an ascii art
file of a road leading into a sunset over mountains.  It wasn't great, but
better than a bare "lilo:" prompt.  (BTW, using the message file is how
Red Hat puts their boot messages on the screen when you install Red
Hat. So, given that, I guess that ANSI escape sequences are
supported. Perhaps look at the lilo.conf on the install boot diskette
for an example.)

dumb cp problem...help please.

[Mark Neidorff]

Well, this should be dead easy...and I've read the man & info pages, but I
still get this problem:

I'm upgrading from 6.2 to 7.3.  I have both installed and running on
separate HDDs on this computer.  I want to copy all of each user's files
from the old system to the new.  I have the new drive's home directory
mounted as /mnt/new.  So, I want to 
cp /home/user/ /mnt/new/user

I used this command from either the /home directory or from the 
/home/user directory:

#cp -rvp /home/user/.* /mnt/new/user

and what happens is below /mnt/new/user I get all of the files (and
sub-directories)being copied from the /home directory.  

Now I know that I'll have to run cp again to get the files that are not
"dot" files, but that's not the issue.  The problem is that I get all of
the other user's files on the system being cp'ed into /mnt/new/user.  

Help, please!

Re: crontab

[Mark Neidorff]

Aha!  I just checked my system and now I understand the confusion (you
didn't even know there was confusion).  My version of linux has both cron
and anacron installed.  What you say is true for anacron, what I say is
true for cron.  For a long time, I couldn't figure out why my changes to
cron using crontab -e were being "ignored."  Turns out, of course, they
weren't. anacron was running the same things as cron was.  Using webmin
showed me both running. I closed anacron and problems went away!

Re: Filter mail

[Mark Neidorff]

If your user has outlook as the mail client, you may be able to go into it
and do what you want...but that will be on the user's machine, and the
user can change it back.  Assuming that you are running a mail server
(sendmail), why not add a procmail/formail recipe to handle the subject
string.  See the man pages.

Well, if you edit crontab with:

#crontab -e

then changes go into effect in a very short time.  Cron reads its config
file at the top of the minute.

Re: conflict-of-interest/legal issues with MS donations to publicschools

[Mark Neidorff]

Well, I'd look at it differently.  School boards always look at the
current bottom line--what does this cost me **NOW** (becuase in a year or
two I might not be on the Board).  Your requests will fall on deaf ears
until such time as it will save the district real current money. And then,
of course, you have the problem of the investment in training, etc.  Do
you see my point?

Probably not.  If you left sendmail alone for a couple of minutes, it
would have timed out (while looking for a hostname) and continued on its
merry way.

In general it is **A GOOD THING (TM)** to turn off all services that are
not needed by your system.

Re: mount question

[Mark Neidorff]

You need to see which partition xp is on.  Let's guess that it is on the
second (slave) IDE channel and xp is on the third partition. Also, let's
assume that you want to mount it at the /mnt/c folder.  Then the command:

#mount -t vfat /dev/hdb3 /mnt/c

will do it.  

Notice:
  The "#"sign because this has to be done as root.
  -t vfattells linux that is is a windows partition.  (If the xp
partition is listed in /etc/fstab then you don't need this)
  /dev/hdb   the "b" for the second (slave) IDE channel
  /dev/hdb3  the "3" for the third partuition
  /mnt/c where the file system will be mounted.

I don't use xp, so I'm guessing the vfat is the correct type for xp. If
the mount fails, then look at "man mount" to see the supported file system
types.

How to send a pop up message to windows?

[Mark Neidorff]

Hi all,

I know its dead easy to send a message from one linux workstation on a LAN
to another linux workstation, but suppose I want to send a message from a
linux workstation to a windows 98 workstation.  What should I use on the
linux worksation and what should be running on the windows workstation? An
example of what I want to do:  have a message pop up on the windows
workstation saying "the server will be shut down in 5 minutes."

Thanks for any thoughts,

Mark

Before committing to sendmail, take a look at postfix and qmail.  (I have
modest needs compared to yours, so sendmail works for me)  According to
what I have read here and on the mailhelp mailing list (www.moongroup.com)
both of them are supposed to be much more efficient than sendmail.

Which server you pick is really up to your budget.  Which one you need
depends on how many emails are sent & received by the 350 users.  Since RH
linux can be moved from one computer to another with virtually no changes,
I'd try to find a working pc somewhere and get the mail up and running for
the 350 users.  See what the load on the pc is and then decide whether you
need more horsepower.  Assuming the load is high, look for where the
bottleneck is and address that issue before buying new hardware.  Same
goes for when you bring the students on board. I would do it a group at a
time (not all 5100 at once) and assess server load after adding each batch
of students.

That, of course, is the ideal answer. If you have a budget that you
**HAVE** to spend then get the most horsepower that you can afford now and
fuggetaboutit.

RH 7.3 should be just fine.  Otherwise the same answer as above.  Once you
get the first 350 users up and running, see what the load on the server
is.  Read the web page on the advanced server and call RH sales if you
have additional questions.  Ask to speak to a technical sales person.

Hi,
I checked the redhat web site, and I have been watching this list, but I
haven't seen mention of the mailing list for the released 8.0.  What is
the name of the list?  (I assume that the subscribing is the same as

Re: write access to iomega jaz drive

Do you have iomegaware (iw) for linux installed?  If so, is it putting the

Re: Installing Redhat distribution from CD

[Mark Neidorff]

Hi David,
First, **please** turn off html formatting in your email.

Now to your question,  rpm has a built-in checker that will check to see
if you need to install other packages in order to install the one you
want. this is called dependency checking, and it happens
automatically. Sooo, if you want to install Nautilus, as root run the rpm
command.  It will tell you that you need to install gnome and a bunch of
other stuff to make it work.  Install that stuff, then Nautilus.  You
don't need to install everything, as a matter of fact, you shouldn't
install everything.  Just install what you need.

Re: Computers for Kids, slightly off topic

Jon,

I have had a bunch of old computer equipment sitting in the
garage. Yesterday, after much research, I found an environmentally
conscious recycling firm--Advanced Recovery
(www.advancedrecovery.com)--who would take the equipment and brought it
down there.  I was surprised to see how much computer equipment was
there. (I have no idea of condition, cause its not my business) Apparently
many corporations piled their old equipment up on skids and shipped it
there.  

I don't know if this is hepful or not.  It appears that the raw materials
are certainly there for the project.  Problems that I forsee...Sorting out
all of the stuff...how to dispose of the non-working(or too
obsolete) stuff...where to warehouse it all(yes, you will get lots & lots
of old stuff. It takes up a lot of space.  You can't be choosy)

What is signal 15?

[Mark Neidorff]

Hi all,

Recently I've started getting a signal 15 error.  Is it bad hardware that
would cause it?

Details--I have a RH 6.2 system (updated).  Occasionally when I run
mozilla 1.0 or vmware (to run windows) the application will just
terminate.  I noticed in the vmware log that a signal 15 was caught.

I've also experienced a few spontaneous X windows reboots.  This has all
occured over the last 2 weeks.  This AM, when I turned my monitor on, the
screen was "dimmed out"--not totally black, I could still see everything
on the "desktop", but it was all muted.  The brightness knob had no
effect.
I also noticed, during one of these X reboots that I got this message in
/var/log/messages:
kdm[937]: Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 2816

Any ideas?  More info needed?  Could a flaky monitor do this?  Flaky video
card?  Failing ram?  (Things that go "bump" in the night? )

Many thanks,

Mark

nvidia cards--which manufacturer?

[Mark Neidorff]

Hi all,

I'm shopping for a new video card and have (more or less) setteled on one
with the nvidia geforce4 chip.  From the nvidia site, I notice that the
video cards are made, not by nvidia, but by other manufacturers.  On their
site they list: ABIT, Aopen, Asustek, Chaintech, eVGA, Gainward, Jaton,
Leadtek, MSI, PNY Technologies, Prolink, Visiontek and XFX. I looked at 
a comparison on Anandtech and didn't notice anything noteworthy there. Any
opinions on these card makers? ...or am I missing something???

Re: RE DSL IP ROBBERY

I disagree.  I signed up for a connection to the Internet and

blocking ports is just plain insulting. 

Assuming that I am a responsible citizen (which any administrator needs to
be on ANY network) on the Internet, what I do with my bandwidth is my
business.

I did NOT sign up for X hours or for Y Gb of traffic. If I choose to run a

Re: lilo delay=zero??

[Mark Neidorff]

What you are trying to do is the equivalent of removing lilo. The delay is
so that you can choose your OS.  So, either leave a small delay (and use a
boot disk to boot into win98)or remove lilo.

lilo & multiple disks

[Mark Neidorff]

Hi Folks, I'm running 6.2 (on /dev/sda) now and I've installed 7.2 on a
separate disk (/dev/sdb)so that I can configure it before changing over. I
don't want to install grub until I have 7.2 going (priorities).

Lilo works well with partitions on one disk, but I have multiple
disks. How can I get lilo to boot the 7.2 partition on the second disk?

This is a minor question since I do have a boot floppy for 7.2, but I'd
like to know how to do this anyway.

Thanks,

Mark

The need to reboot is not OS specific, so I think that it is hardware

Re: Blown BIOS, no boot

Sounds like something is really wrong with that machine. Hmmm, was the

rechargable?  Is the voltage the same?

What you are reporting sounds like something is intermittantly connecting
& disconnecting.  Perhaps it won't make a good router?

sendmail: getting mail from both isp's mail server & my mail server

[Mark Neidorff]

Hi folks,

I have a working mail server (sendmail 8.11-6) that gets all mail for
neidorff-dot-com. Now I'd also like to get mail from my isp. I tried
setting up a user and running fetchmail from that user via cron. The user
is 'mailserv' and the script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
su mailserv -c "fetchmail -s"

This runs, goes out to the isp and brings the mail in, BUT, procmail hangs
and all mail after the mail from the isp stays in the queue until I kill
one procmail process for each email received from the isp. (Does this make
sense?)  

The process I have to kill looks like this:
procmail -Y -a -d mailserv

There is another procmail process:
procmail -Y -a -d mark
that delivers the mail once the first one is killed.
Is there a change in sendmail I have to make, or somewhere else? Or is
ther other informaiton that I need to provide to get help with this
problem?

Thanks,

Mark

you should have a program called "lilo" (LInux LOader)on your system or on
your distribution CD. Install that, follow the instructions in "man
lilo" and you should be all set to dual boot.

Quick note:
1. Make a boot diskette.
2. Boot from the diskette to be sure that it works.
3. Install (what I assume to be) windows.
4. boot from diskette and configure & run lilo.

You need to do this becuase windows will overwrite the "boot
record" where lilo stores the boot information.
