Re: Problem with Sound

2003-04-02 Thread Ric Tibbetts
I've had the same problem.
I found that if I log out, and then back in, the sound will work on the
second login.

Re: Download Redhat 9 right now

With respect for those who have paid for their Redhat network
subscription, and the related early access:

I will refrain from using such boot-leg sites. I would encourage others
to do the same.

Re: [Slightly OT] XFS versus EXT3

2003-03-31 Thread Ric Tibbetts
To put it briefly:

If it don't need breakin', don't fix it.

There's no compelling reason to go to XFS, or JFS, or Reiserfs. If ext3
works for you, use it.
I've found problems with each of the other fs types, on "some" machines.
ext3 is stable.

I think we should all keep this thread alive. It offers proof of both
the intelect, and maturity of an "avit wondows user" ;)

It also lends some credibility to the theory that prolonged windows use

Re: RHCE looking for a job

2003-03-20 Thread Ric Tibbetts

Yeah, I hear that.
I try to make it clear that I'm a contractor, and relocating just goes
with the territory, "AND" point out that I'm willing to relocate at my
own expense.
It makes a difference to some employers. Some, and just cheap, and don't
want to pay expensive relocation expenses. If you have a family, and a
home, that can add up.

Short side is: When you're looking for work, it's the employers market
right now. There are LOTS of IT people out of work, and only so many
jobs to go around.

So far, I've never had to resort to using the phrase "Would you like
fries with that?" in the course of my work day. But when you need to
feed the family, don't get too picky when the market is like it is now.

Re: RHCE looking for a job

2003-03-20 Thread Ric Tibbetts
Unfortunately, relocating isn't even always an option.
I'm seeing more, and more statements like the following:

---
Principals only. Candidates OUTSIDE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BE
CONSIDERED IN THIS SEARCH.

[Company name removed] is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
--- 

Maybe they need to rephrase that to:

[Company name removed] is an (not so)  Equal Opportunity Employer.

One company took this a step further with:

--
No sponsorship or subcontracting available for this position. A
background check and drug screen are conditions of employment. LOCAL
CANDIDATES ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU ARE NOT LOCAL, NO MATTER IF
YOU ARE NEEDING RELOCATION ASSISTANCE OR NOT.
-- 

Fortunately, I'm working (right now). But I know a number of people who
are not. Part of the problem with relocating is that local employers
want to suppopr the local population. In the larger cities, and tech
centers, there are large numbers of I.T. personel sitting idle. They're
trying to hire those first. It's "right", but it makes it hard for the
rest to find work.

As a career contractor, I am painfully aware of the "normal" cycles of
the contracting industry. But this "lul" is anything BUT normal.

Re: RHCE looking for a job

2003-03-20 Thread Ric Tibbetts
And it's not just the I.T. industry. I have friends in other industries
that are suffering just as much.
It's cyclic. It "will" turn around again, it's just a matter of time.

Sad but true.

samba error

2003-03-13 Thread Ric Tibbetts
All;
My appologies if this is off topic. But this list is the best resource I
could think of.

I have a samba server running. But it's mis-behaving.
When viewed from an explorer session, the hostname shows up, but none of
the exported fielsystems.
Interestingly, I cloned another box off of that one, and it works great.

Now, I have many, many instances of the following error showing up in
the samba logs:

[2003/02/27 08:22:11, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1596)
  domain_client_validate: Domain password server not available.


I've done nothing different between the two servers. They are infact
clones of each other. What am I missing on this one?

Thank you!

Actually, anymore, there is little difference (from the user standpoint)
between them. They're both very good. KDE is a bit older, and a more
mature product. Gnome has some fresh(er) ideas, but is still lacking in
some features.

It's really a matter of personal choice. Try them both. Spend a week
with each. At the end that, one of them will "feel" better to you.

Ahem:
To stop it, and remove it from all runlevels:

#> service apmd stop

I believe that "chkconfig apmd stop (or off)" would set up a kill entry in the
runlevels. "--del" will remove it entirely.

Re: Is someone trying to get me off the list?

2003-02-21 Thread Ric Tibbetts
Just to put my .02 into this.
While I applaud the originator of the bot for his good intentions, I am
bothered that a "fellow list recipient" has put in such a tool. As was
just demonstrated, a single "mistake" by the person, has the ability to
impact the entire list.

I really believe that this kind of thing belongs int eh camp of the list
owner, not a list user. I personally do not appreciate getting teh
notification I did the other day because of another member on the list.
I honestly think it should be disabled, until the person has the direct
consent of the list owner to run such a bot.

There are clear, and simple instructions printed at the bottom of every
e-Mail that goes through this list. The user also gets instructions on
how to unsubscribe when they first sign up. While I agree that it's
frustrating that there are so many totaly clueless people out there,
it's a matter for the list owners to deal with.

I don't think that list members should be running such "bots".

JMHO. But it's taking "help" a little to far.

Thank you for listening

Re: eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done timeout!

2003-02-20 Thread Ric Tibbetts
I've had this same problem with integrated Intel NICs.
There is actually an e100.0 module by default, but Redhat isn't using it.
All you need to do is change /etc/modules.conf to read:

from:
	alias eepro100 eth(n)

to
	alias e100 eth(n)

and all should be well. My desktop at work had this same thing.

I seem to be having a problem with copy files in or out of this


machine.


I noticed that a console message just came up and it said "eepro100:
wait_for_cmd_done timeout!" I have never seen this before and I


noticed


that the box from the networking standpoint is completely locked up.
Anybody seen this before?

Yep, happens to me too. I've heard other reports of it on this list as

Except, in my case, gone, is gone. It doesn't come back (to that one

I've been doing this with both Redhat & Mandrake for years.

Ric, I'm using RH 8.0 and doing the exact same thing.  I use the RH8.0 
box as a router for a mixed Windows/Linux network.  It also has 
iptables, DNS and SSH and everything works fine - the problem is not RH 
8.0.

If you can ping both interfaces on the router box from the third box 
then routing is working ok on the router box.  If the routing is working 
ok, then it has to be the wrong gateway address (I'm assuming you've 
checked the NIC, the wiring, subnet mask, etc), that's the only things 
it can be.


Yeah, I'm doing it at home too. That's why this one is bugging me so 
bad. I thought at first maybe Redhat was blocking something by default 
that I needed to turn on.

In this case, there's no firewall (don't need one). So iptables is not 
running. So that's out.
The nics both work, although only one has an address.

So, what's different:
(pardon me while I think)

#--
At home:

DSL into card one of the server.
Card two of server to switch
Firewall between the cards.

All other clients plug into the switch.

Both cards have an IP. The outer one has an official IP, the inner one 
is of the 192.168.0.0 variety.
Both cards IPs are listed on the DNS server.

All the clients are name served by the server.
All clients list the outer card as their gateway.
# -
k.. simple enough

#---
At the office

e-net line from wall to card 1
crossover cable from card 2 to machine two. (no hub, or switch).

Card 1, and machine 2 both have registered IPs, served by company dns 
service.
Card 2, has the 192.168.0.0 variety, and is not listed anywhere. But, 
since machine 2 plugs directly into card 2, I shouldn't need to list it 
anywhere. The card is active.
ip-forwarding is turned on.
There is no firewall, so iptables is turned off. (no rules means 
everything allowed(?).

Machine 2 uses address from card 1 on server as gateway.

The server can ping both of it's interfaces.
The server cannot ping machine 2.
Machine 2, cannot ping the server, neither by name, nor address.

# --

The thing is plugged straight into the machine, and they can't see each 
other.
What am I missing?

uh...

...

/etc/hosts.allow

ALL:local (?) or such.

nah... /etc/hosts.allow currently has:

ALL:ALL

That could cover that.

Should I list the second NIC in /etc/hosts on the "server"?

I'm stumped. It should work.

HELP!

Thanks,

Unfortunately, I don't have an out-of-pocket answer to that. Although 
I'm sure there's a way, I've just never had to deal with the situation.

I always thought that "group" should be a tree structure, rather than a 
flat file.
Then you could assign "classes" of users, to a default (pre-defined)set 
of groups.

For example:
The base class of "Admin_Users" would automatically be assigned to sub 
groups:

Group:
	Admin_Users
group1a
group2a
group3a
etc.

	Reg_Users
group1r
group2r
group3r

	Web_Admins
group1w
group2w
group3w
etc.
And on.

There may already be a way to automate this, but I've not worked with 
it. But it seems a reasonable approach.
It could no doubt be set up as a script fairly easily...

Anyone?

Re: RH8.0 - nfsd hangs badly + 1TB SCSI partition

Are you "sure" it's not the network itself?
I've had problems with Redhat 8.0 and the Intel EPro 100 driver. 
Changing it from "eepro100" to "e100" clears up the problem.

Hi everybody !

After we installed a fresh RedHat 8.0 on a 2 processor machine the NFS 
daemon hangs from time to time - really badly, since I cannot kill it 
with -9. The problem occurs every couples of days.

I cannot even reboot, because the reboot process will hang trying to 
kill the NFS daemon. The problem is that after I try to kill nfsd, the 
exported partitions are not accessible, even locally - every access just 
hangs. Also, umount will report that the partition is busy. Just to make 
it clear:
- the nfsd hangs (I cannot access the exported partition from any client)
- the partition is still accessible locally
- try (unsuccessfully) to kill nfsd
- the partition is not accessible anymore

There is no processor activity when it hangs – both processors are idle. 
Also looks like there is no disk activity.

Now, the partitions are some big (1TB) RAID disks. The RAID system is a 
separate box, accessible through a SCSI interface. So the computer will 
see just one big disk. Actually there are two of them, on different 
LUNs: 0 and 1. It worked fine before the upgrade, but because of a old 
kernel only LUN0 was accessible.

Here are the details :
processor: two Pentium III (Coppermine) at 800MHz, 256KB cache
memory: 2GB
kernel version: 2.4.18-19.8.0smp (upgraded with up2date)


I think there is no need to say that any suggestions to solve this 
problem are extremely welcome :-)

Cheers,

Re: Problem with /etc/group file

2003-02-08 Thread Ric Tibbetts
I've run into this on other *nix's as well, in a couple of very large 
environments. It's a problem with reading long group lists.
We found a couple of work-arounds, but no "solutions".

Work-around #1
--

If the group in question is to be the "default" group for all those 
users, put it in their /etc/passwd entry, not /etc/group, like so:

/etc/passwd
:x:3245:12345::/home/:/bin/bash

/etc/group
:x:12345:

Done that way, you don't need to list "all" the users in the group file.

This has some obvious limitations if the users belong to a number of groups.

Work-around #2
-
This is ugly, but it works:

In /etc/group
Create the group. We'll call it "Work" for this conversation.

It's kludgy as hell, but it works. I can point to some very large 
installations, in some very major corporations that are done that way.
Yes, the problem exists on AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris to my knowledge.. 
maybe others. So it doesn't surprise me to see it emerge on Linux.

If someone has better ways, I know a pack of admins that would love to

I can also add more groups to the group file just not more users to the

 I can create a new group and have the same problem.

I just re-loaded the box with Phoebe (I've been running it, but wanted

And now, I want to re-add the other OS's to grub (it's a multi-boot

grub through a utility...

Can some kind soul refresh me?

In my case, I'm trying to get RedHat 8.0 LDAP + automount (client), to

I had automounter working with the old Solaris NIS server, but someone

starting over. ;)

My first step is to get the automounter to work with Irix clients and
I'm having some luck there (although the migrate scripts don't seem to
be setting up the ldif files correctly).

My next step is to test the automounter on RedHat clients.

FYI, we're having to change our "standardized" RedHat load here to use
autofs4 instead of the autofs that's included with RH.  Issues we were
running into were a lack of support for multipath entries.  Direct maps
are still an issue that we've worked around via some scripting.

Basically, getting a Linux client to behave like other Unix machines
wrt to autofs is a pain.

Let me know how autofs + LDAP works for you on Linux.

Re: ibm netvista hangs / freezes with rh80

I've had the same problem with netvistas.
After pounding on it for a while, mine turned out to be network related.
Seems that the integrated ethernet isn't too stable. Any network
activity at all would freeze the box.

My solution:

Install an add-on ethernet card, and disable the onboard (or at least,
don't activate it at boot time).

After I did that, it works fine.

Hope that helps!

Re: who am i ?

Try "w"
It shows who is logged in, and what they're doing.
TO kill a "rogue" login: Just  kill their first session, the rest will
go with it.

For example:
(I ssh'd into a box for this one)

[ric@ibu ric]$ w
  7:05am  up 3 days,  1:15,  1 user,  load average: 2.00, 2.00, 2.00
USER TTY  FROM  LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
ric  pts/0120.100.33.65.cf  7:05am  0.00s  0.58s  0.07s  w


You'll see that I'm logged in on pts/0
To kick me out, grab the process id from that:

ps -ef | grep "pts/0"

[ric@ibu ric]$ ps -ef | grep "pts/0"
ric  11282 11280  1 07:05 pts/000:00:00 -bash
ric  11415 11282  0 07:06 pts/000:00:00 ps -ef
ric  11416 11282  0 07:06 pts/000:00:00 grep pts/0

To thow me out, the admin would just "kill 11282", and I'm out.

Something in the foggy part of my brain remembers an easier way, but it

Odd Sound problem with 8.1

2003-01-24 Thread Ric Tibbetts
All;
I seem to be the king of finding odd problems.

I finally got the CDs straightened out last night, and got 8.1 (beta 2)
loaded up. Looks good by the way! No huge changes, just bug fixes, as it
should be! Good job RedHat!).

There is an odd problem with the sound though.

When I first boot up, the first time I log in, I have no sound. The
speaker just make a "pop" (once), and that's it. However, if I log out,
and log back in, the sound works fine...

Any thoughts on what would be causing that?

Thanks!

Yup, I had that plug-in. But it wasn't working in 8.1
Then I remembered to go into xmms, and disable the "placeholder" that
Redhat sticks in there.

Works much better now.

MP3 on 8.1

2003-01-23 Thread Ric Tibbetts
So, with redhat's stance on mp3. What do we use as an mp3 player that
will run on 8.1(beta)?

Thanks!

RE: Burning CD's of 8.1 beta (solved)

2003-01-23 Thread Ric Tibbetts
All;
I have this solved.
The problem was:

Redhat changed the beta version while I was downloading it. 
I ended up with disc one being beta 1, and discs 2 & 3 on beta 2.

That didn't work out so well.

RE: Burning CD's of 8.1 beta (solved)

2003-01-23 Thread Ric Tibbetts
Ok, I'm the master of the exceedingly odd situations. 

What happened was:

Redhat changed the beta versions on the mirrors, as I was downloading
them.
The result was: Disc 1 was beta 1, disc 2 & 3 were beta 2.

Redhat: How about putting new versions in appropriately titled
directories, to avoid this in the future? It was pretty frustrating.

I'm up on 8.1 beta 2 now. But getting here could have been a lot easier.

Burning CD's of 8.1 beta

2003-01-22 Thread Ric Tibbetts
All;
I've burned about a dozen coasters now. I'm doing something very wrong.

I have the iso images of the 8.1 beta. I've burned iso's before, and 
they always worked. But not this time. Has something changed?

Here's the problem:

I burn the 3 CD's.
Insert #1 & boot:
Machine boots, and starts loading normally.
It reaches the part about asking for disc 2, and it refuses to accept 
the one I put in.

I've checked the downloads, the md5sums are fine. I've used the "check 
media" at the begining of the install, they all check out fine. Mounting 
them, shows them looking very normal.

But the install won't recognize them.

If I put in #1, and autorun kicks in, it says that the operation 
requires disc 1, and instructs you to insert it.. but it's already in 
the drive.

What am I missing? If the discs need to be labled, what do they need to 
be labeled to? I've made a pile of coasters, just for a beta release. 
(i'm picking up a box of CR-RW's for beta releases after this!).

Any help would be appreciated!

Ric
