 When I check the memory status within KDE Control Center or just by the

 the physical memory is beeing filled up to 100%. After that the virtual 
 memory starts to grow. 
 
 Examle: I copy some files from a cdrom to the harddisk - the physical memory 
 increases. When I now delete the just written files again, the memory 
 consumption decreases again. That's really weird, isn't it? 
 
 Does anyone have any idea what the reason for that could be? 
 
  - The same problem occoured after I recompiled my kernel (2.4.2-2).

When moving your home directory, you may need to get rid of old config
files in your home directory which contain hardcoded paths that
start with /home/...

When posting to public mailing-lists, please also wrap your long

 Forgive me for not yet being a kernel expert.  Before I do this what

It configures the kernel source tree with the kernel configuration
settings from file .config in kernel root directory. The interactive
alternative is to run make menuconfig (or make xconfig).

 Where does it get the config file from?

File .config, e.g. /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config

 Does it grab the config file that matches the running kernel?

No. That is a manual step.

  cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config

[I don't cover package tools like Yum or APT-RPM here.]

First of all, install the rpmdb-redhat package which contains a
complete RPM database of what is shipped with Red Hat Linux. When that
package is installed, rpm tells you the names of any packages you're
missing upon installation of a new package, provided that the package
is on your install CDs. Additionally, you can add option --aid which
would try to add any missing package automatically in order to solve
dependencies. It requires that you keep all rpms in current directory,
though.

 You wouldn't need to.  Under stock kernels, make oldconfig will ask 
 you for the settings you'd like, individually.  Under Red Hat's patched 
 kernels, make oldconfig will try to find a prepared config that 
 matches your arch, indicated by /boot/kernel.h.  In either case, if 
 .config exists, then you'll only be asked about new configuration items 
 (which there should not be any of, if it uses one of the prepared configs).

Isn't make oldconfig non-interactive?

An existing .config file takes precedence and need not match the

 So much for the old it is better to install a kernel than upgrade it I
 guess.  The iptables changes are not backward compatible?

It is my impression the user did not apply all errata packages up to
these two. IIRC, Red Hat's advisories say you should apply all errata
packages before you try to install the most recent ones.

Removing the old iptables temporarily might be a work-around, too. It
might need --nodeps as a last resort.

PGP/MIME or cleartext signatures are common practice, especially among

spammer or idiot has abused a valid e-mail address again and sent
junk/virus to lists or individuals.

By signing messages automatically I want to make sure that recipients,
who only know me from mailing-lists, are sceptical when they receive
an unsigned message with my address/name in the headers. That seems to
work. [Instead of receiving complaints, I am notified about abuse of
my address occasionally. :)]

I disable signatures where people know whether a message is from me
actually or whether headers are fake.

Depends on what package repositories you point apt-rpm at. If, for

Hat's errata packages, you wouldn't get them. Or if you enable
repositories which contain packages with higher package versions, that
would override the packages found in other repositories.

You forgot to create the initrd image for your custom kernel. Instead,
you took over the old initrd for the 2.4.20-20.9 kernel.

 I have two rpm questions.
 1.  On redhat 9 by forcing installs etc. i got rpm to a state where it 
 hung.
 With some difficulty i killed it. It now does not even want to do a query.
 I tried rebuilding the database with rpmdb --rebuilddb.  It also seemed to
 hang, (I left it over night).
 What should i try to fix this?

Remove the locked temporary files, *then* rebuild the database for
safety reasons:

  rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
  rpm -vv --rebuilddb

 2.  We have a Redhat advance server.
 The administrator had not up to today activated the rhn_register/up2date 
 setup.
 When he tried, he got the errors related to the ssl Certificate that 
 expired.
 I told him to download the new rpms and install them.
 He got those and ran md5checksum on them successfuly.
 When one gives any rpm command envolving these downloaded files, rpm 
 responds by coming
 back to a prompt with no output.
 eg. rpm -ihv rhn_register*rpm just comes back to a prompt without any 
 output.
 rpm -qip rhn_register*rpm does the same.
 Please help?

Tell him he should get the binary rpms, NOT the *.src.rpm packages.

And of course, the downloaded packages must be in the current

would also get back to the prompt without any output. So, make sure
the files are there before the wildcard '*' is used.

 Okay, I have been beating my head regarding tripwire. First off, let me
 thank Bret Hughes for his twpolclean.pl. That decreased my error count
 due to files not on the system. 
 My question though has to do with the Change Time. I back up my systems
 every night and that appears to change a time. I added the -a to the
 rule set, but I still get the following:
 
 Modified object name:  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-cipcb

 * Change Time  Sun Oct  5 22:46:15 2003Mon Oct  6 22:46:24

 This basically renders tripwire useless as it reports on every file that
 gets backed up. What am I missing here?

Examine the files with the stat utility. What does the Modify
field say? If your backup technique updates the modified/changed
timestamp, you cannot monitor that attribute with Tripwire.

The -a rule checks file's access times. Any file's access time is
updated when it is read/accessed. You certainly don't want that for
files which get backed up frequently, because the backup process would
update the file access time. The -a rule makes sense only for archived
files which should not be accessed at all, but which you keep on the
hard disk nevertheless.

 Basically I want search for key terms only after stripping the HTML from the

 viewgfwegagrgrwja.
 
 The sed trick strips out all html-like tags.  Cool.  Except I'm trying to
 figure out a way to un-do the stripping if the words I'm looking for isn't
 in the body of the message after all.  So far the stripped message gets
 delivered to the mailbox regardless.
 I need to do something like this:
 
 preserve_copy_of_message_here
   :0fwb
   | sed -e :a -e 's/[^]*//g;//N;//ba'
   :0B
   * (v'agra)
   {
 OBSCENE_=adult-trap
 :0
 /dev/null
   }
 if OBSCENE is set, then do nothing cause message went to /dev/null, else
 send the original message to the mailbox.
 
 Any ideas?

Not a straight-forward implementation, just an idea. 

A problem certainly is that you modify the message right away. One 
technique to avoid that is to pass the message text to a subshell for
analyzation, insert a custom header (e.g. X-Procmail: some-flag-here)
into the original message and pass that one back to procmail. All
recipes are processed again, and you can check the custom header on
what to do with the message. Similar to the following unchecked
recipes:

# Pass 1. Analyze the message body of message which don't contain
# an X-Procmail header. Set the X-Procmail header, then return the
# complete message to procmail.
:0
* ! ^X-Procmail:.*
{
SPAM_FLAG=$(sed -e '1,/^$/ d' | your-de-html-analyzer-here)
:0HB
| formail -A X-Procmail: $SPAM_FLAG -s procmail
}

# Pass 2. Process messages which have an X-Procmail header.
:0
* ^X-Procmail: OBSCENE
/dev/null

Of course, pass 2 can contain nested recipes, too.

 About 2-3 CDs and reasonable timely updates for security issues, no

 I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong but the workstation version is NOT
 equal to the old Redhat Linux.  It sounds like the WS version is missing
 all of the server functionality that was in RHL.  It also costs $179USD
 which seems high compared to the boxed version of other distros like SuSE.

You're mistaking Red Hat Professional Workstation with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux WS (Basic Edition).

 Because not everyone subscribes to all three lists and I want to get the

 have.

There's no way to avoid further cross-postings now. Because postings
like that, which are ripped out of context, confuse the reader. Taking
a discussion to a different list where no related discussions take
place and where you miss the comments from Red Hat employees, is a bad
idea. The right place where to discuss the future of Red Hat Linux
would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and maybe [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(but that is devoted to the test release and less to general
discussion). Not even considering those subscribers who consider
cross-postings rude.

 The poster said:
 
  Unless something has changed recently..very recently...having apt or
  yum work to do dist-upgrade like behavior is not something thats
  getting a lot of Fedora Core development attention. You can
  certainly try to do it, becuase both yum and apt have the ability to
  do this sort of thing...but if it goes wrong...your bugs might not
  be a high priority. Bug testing effort is best spent on issues
  developers want tested...and to-date I haven't seen much interest
  from the development side to make upgrading between releases with
  apt a high priority. 
 
 I am trying to plan for what action will need to be done due to the demise of
 RHL. Some have suggested that Fedora will be a logical replacement. Others
 have said that yum/apt might be used in place of up2date. Still others have
 suggested that redhat network will be migrated to Fedora.

Uhm. No idea where you've taken those rumours from. And I still don't
see what this has to do with the subject line and the quoted part
above. If you have questions, I'd rather open a new thread. It seems
you've subscribed just recently without skimming over the archives.

Anyway. Let's get a few things straight. First of all, up2date is part
of Fedora Core 0.94. There is no indication that it would go. RHN
channels are available as well. RHN will also serve Fedora Core final
release plus Updates with the usual priority access for paid accounts.
As you can read at http://fedora.redhat.com it might be that a Fedora
Extras RHN channel will also be an option. Would make sense to make
available at RHN as much good stuff as possible.

Up2date itself already supports apt/yum repositories. An enhanced
redhat-config-packages tool is planned (as one can read in the
installer screens). There are no plans to replace up2date with apt-rpm
or yum. (Where did you hear about such plans? Any quote available?)
But those alternative package utilities will be helpful for building
and necessary for accessing 3rd party repositories (even though
up2date supports apt/yum, too). That's why yum has been added to the
distribution already.

 The overall tone of the discussion does not seem consistent with Fedora being
 a redhat linux equivalent product.

I still fail to see what this has to do with the subject line and the
quoted message. There are concerns that the planned product life cycle
of Fedora Core (see http://fedora.redhat.com) is not enough. Yet it
remains to be seen whether the community won't support the product for
a longer period. There are concerns that Fedora Core -- compared with
Red Hat Linux -- will move closer to the bleeding edge and result in a
less stable distribution. Most of this is speculation. Some of the
documentation suggests that the modified update strategy will result
in more bug-fix updates (in form of new packages) compared with the
Red Hat Linux (which has been seeing mostly back-ported security
fixes). This can also turn out to be a good thing.

 If that is the case, then one might want to
 start a serious look for a replacement.

But there have been several related discussions already on the
fedora-* lists. Why take this to other lists in form of a confusing
reply?

 I need a stable 12-18 month release supported by something like up2date. It
 use will not be in a production environment, but it is not intended to be
 bleeding edge either.
 
 Some have suggested that we wait to see what develops. The exchange, however,
 seemed to imply that waiting might not be a good strategy.

I think you've misunderstood that exchange completely. It explains
that so-called dist-upgrades with apt-get, yum or up2date have not
been a supported upgrade path and are unlikely to be taken into
consideration. Hence if such a dist-upgrade fails for you, it's your
problem (apart from that, there won't be any phone/web based support

This is because by default, the kernel is on the package skip-list.
You can configure the RHN Update Agent (up2date) to install kernel
updates automatically.  But normally you would tell the tool
explicitly to install a new kernel when you run the tool manually. In
the graphical user interface it's a checkbox, in the command-line tool
it's option --force (or -f), e.g. update -u -f kernel.

With Red Hat's most recent iptables packages, you would add iptables

with the MASQUERADE target extension. 

With older iptables packages you would load additional iptables

 OK, the real log files tell me the job was run at 4:08.31 and 'su news'

 There IS a job in cron.daily called inn-cron-expire.
 
 This seems to be causing it.
 
 Not being a bash expert - what does this thing do? Anybody know?

See:
 
  rpm -qf /etc/cron.daily/*

You have the inn package installed. INN is a Usenet news server.

 It seems to check chkconfig to see if innd is active, then performs the su.
 
 However, innd is NOT active on my PC (I checked with chkconfig --list, 
 it's off on all runlevels), so why does it still perform the su?

Because the package has installed a daily cron job file into
/etc/cron.daily. All executable files in that directory are executed
by crond.

 I know it's old and probably iptables is better, but the ipchains script is a

 The result of lsmod also included. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unload all Netfilter modules, such as ip_tables. Also note that the
ipchains module in the 2.4 kernel series is NOT the good old ipchains
implementation which you might know from the 2.2 kernel series. It
is just a very limited compatibility implementation. Depending on
what ipchains features you need, your legacy code may fail.

I think I've answered a similar question recently. The answer is in
man 5 crontab. That manual explains that the format of a crontab
edited with crontab -e is different from what you see in
/etc/crontab. In particular, the sixth argument (the target user) must
not be included.

 /bin/sh: line 1: root: command not found
 
 
 
 
 This is what I have in the crontab file(when I type

  Specifying a custom MDA such as in your case is dangerous. For
  instance, if your disk is full, procmail has no way to bounce a
  message. You would lose mail. Additionally, you override the default
  delivery mechanism (local sendmail) and hence lose the target user
  marc setting. Since you run fetchmail as root, formail and procmail
  process the messages for root. As I've recommended earlier, run
  fetchmail manually to debug your config file. Unless it works, don't
  even consider running it in daemon mode. You probably need
  to add procmail option -d marc if you insist on using procmail
  as the MDA.
  
  As a side-note: if at all, I would move the formail digest-split
  into marc's ~/.procmailrc rule file.
 
 I understand about 50% of that explanation. (Did someone say newbie?)
 I found this recipe file on the web and used it because it works if I
 start fetchmail up manually. The problems started after trying to
 implement the startup script.
 
 Now that I look at it closely, I don't even know what formail is. I
 want to keep using procmail, because it does such a good job of sorting
 my messages. I suppose it's just fortuitous that my ~/.procmailrc file
 works at all, thanks to this random file I found on the web.
 
 Is there a way to change this recipe file to use procmail without the
 problems you mentioned (overriding the is marc, etc.)?

Yes, the answer is in my previous reply. Adding -d marc as
options to /usr/bin/procmail should fix it.

Nevertheless, the rest of what is written above, applies. 

Let me rephrase. By default, fetchmail passes retrieved mail to the
sendmail server on localhost. By doing that, sendmail takes over the
final transfer and can also handle delivery errors gracefully. On the
contrary, in your fetchmail config file, you override the default
delivery style and specify a mail delivery agent (procmail) to be used
directly. When procmail fails to store the message, it has no means to
return/resubmit the message to the mail system.

formail (read man formail) is a mail re-formatting utility. In your
config file it is used to split digest messages into individual mails
(before passing them to procmail which would deliver them to your
mailbox). One would run formail in $HOME/.procmailrc and not in a
fetchmail config file.

Can you reproduce it with the most recent OpenSSH package as shipped

 The problem: my computer is only downloading email from my pop3 account

 My setup: fetchmail - procmail - mutt.

Your description is highly confusing. So, you have an e-mail account
somewhere which is connected to the Internet permanently. That server
account receives messages 24/7 and offers a POP3 service. On a
different computer (your client) you use fetchmail to connect to the
POP3 server in order to retrieve the messages. Now, who polls your
POP3 mailbox when your client is turned of?

[...]

Concerning your fetchmail daemon startup script, disable it and
poll your POP3 mailbox manually to debug your problem. Also verify
the contents of /etc/fetchmailrc.

Run rpm -Kv on the package. If it is reported to be BAD, it is bad
and you need to look for a server which offers a good package for
download. If you believe the server offers a good package, try a
different download tool. RPM can also installs packages from FTP/HTTP.

No, read up in man fetchmail on how to specify the target user

 Any ideas?

Specifying a custom MDA such as in your case is dangerous. For
instance, if your disk is full, procmail has no way to bounce a
message. You would lose mail. Additionally, you override the default
delivery mechanism (local sendmail) and hence lose the target user
marc setting. Since you run fetchmail as root, formail and procmail
process the messages for root. As I've recommended earlier, run
fetchmail manually to debug your config file. Unless it works, don't
even consider running it in daemon mode. You probably need
to add procmail option -d marc if you insist on using procmail
as the MDA.

As a side-note: if at all, I would move the formail digest-split
into marc's ~/.procmailrc rule file.

 Perhaps you may have been including the version number of the
 package that you were trying to remove, example:
 
 # Try to query the package tcpdump:
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] MySQL]$ rpm -q tcpdump
 tcpdump-3.7.2-1
 
 # Now, to remove the package, do not include the version part:

Sometimes you do need to include the version part, e.g. upon erasing a
specific kernel. Actually, including the version number does no harm
whatsoever. 

The usual mistake done by newbies is to specify the package _file
name_ instead of the package name.

When the package name is not part of the package file name, instead of
searching the package name in rpm -qa --last |less, you can query
the file if you still have it, e.g. like this

  rpm -qp foo-1.0-1.i386.rpm --qf %{name}\n

to print the internal package name.

No, the version number is not the reason why his attempts have failed.
rpm expects a package name, not a file name. But you can include
version-release.

 $ rpm -qa | grep emacs

 Redirect the output to /dev/null  Cron uses /bin/sh as its shell so your

That way you would lose any error output from fetchmail which is most
likely not what you would like. Instead, run fetchmail in daemon mode
triggered from a cron job. That is, create a cron job that starts
fetchmail in daemon mode once a day or several times a day to make
sure that after a reboot your user's fetchmail daemon will be started
again. For that cron job, feel free to redirect stdout/stderr to
/dev/null. In daemon mode, fetchmail submits notification messages
about major errors such as ongoing connection failures.

Huh? Consider replying below quotes. That would make sense.

 this is what i tried at the grub prompt:
 
  root (hd0,5)
 -- filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
  kernel=/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=/dev/hda6

Make it: root=/dev/hda7

(hd0,5) = /dev/hda6 is your /boot partition
(hd0,6) = /dev/hda7 is your / partition

See here:

It's a harmless bug.

 Well, it started when I was unable to remove an rpm, so I tried
 rebuilding the rpmdb. I did some searching and apparently there is/was a
 bugtrap on this, but that it has been closed even though no real fix is
 available. That could be incorrect information. 

Terminate/kill all running rpm processes or package tools.
Then run:

  rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
  rpm -vv --rebuilddb

rpm should be able to erase packages again.

  Just out of curiousity, what do you get when you gzip such a huge

 Sorry to take so long to respond.
 
 Didn't have another Linux machine at hand, so I gzipped it (took all of six 
 seconds) and transferred the compressed file (down from 1.18GB to an 
 expected 53MB) to another drive. Gunzipping the file resulted again in a 
 1.18GB file.
 
 Color me baffled.

Okay. What else can you report about the integrity of the WAV files?
When you load them into a somewhat capable audio player, is the
displayed playtime correct? In that case, the internal file size in
the WAV header would be correct. What do you see at the end of the
files when you display them in a hex-editor (e.g. khexedit)? Could it
be that they have ~1 GiB of zeroes at the end?

The version of Firestarter as packaged by Fedora Linux

 I could not open the file with khexedit, since it complained about 
 insufficient memory (I have only 256MB of RAM in this machine). But the 
 theory of it actually having spaces or zeroes at the end does not seem 
 logical: what on God's green Earth would tack on 1GB of zeroes at the end, 

rsync

 and if so, why does ls -sh report the file size correctly?

ls -sh is like du -h and reports disk usage in blocks.

 If this space 
 was indeed being used, then 63GB would have _actually_ expanded to 1.6TB, 
 instead of just _apparently_ having done so.

But that is impossible because your disk is not that big. So, it could
still be sparse blocks (or similar symptoms) at the _end_ of a file.
You don't hear that, when the music player relies on the WAV length as
found in the WAV file header. You would only hear the effect of sparse
blocks in the beginning of the file, where empty blocks would be mixed
into the WAV stream.

 And then it wouldn't fit on the 120GB disk, whereas df -m shows the 
 expected 45GB free and I just moved 10GB to that drive as a test with no 
 problems. AFAICS, that 1TB discrepancy between listings does seem to be a 
 phantom... but from what, how, why, and how to fix it?
 
 I have no idea how to even start looking for this one, but while you guys 
 attempt to help me, is there perhaps some docs I should be reading at the 
 same time?

A WAV editor which saves only the WAV content size as specified in the
WAV header would be able to repair the files.

 That's actually how I ended up on this thread... no one was paying me any 
 attention on my other attempts to get help on this issue, and sparse files 
 sounded like a possible explanation so I went through the thread and made 
 attempts to sparse or unsparse with both cp and rsync.
 
 No dice... I still get 1.2GB worth of file, yet the darn thing plays 
 properly in a media player and displays correctly in certain incantations 
 of ls.

Because it makes no sense. The proposed unsparsing the file would
expand the empty blocks and create a file that occupies as much space on
disk as normal ls -l shows. What you would need in case of sparse
files with lots of omitted blocks at the end, is a way to _cut off_
the files at the end.

   Well.. let's assume it did. I just want to understand why would a different local
 address show up.
 
  I can't tell you anything about the

   This here is just a RH9 gateway forwarding packages to a windows xp box.

Maybe it's your previous dynamic IP address?

  200.141.84.205 = RJ141084205.user.veloxzone.com.br.
  200.141.82.150 = RJ141082150.user.veloxzone.com.br.

You would need to find out how old the connection is.
