Re: RPM dead?

You probably have some stale locked files in your /var/rpm directory -
they all start with ___somefilename. mv them to a different directory,
run rpm --rebuilddb and try again.

 Basically every time I launch an rpm package from an

 processing header files, it just goes away. It
 crashes. Same thing when I do it from the terminal.
 goes:
 
 # rpm -Uvh foo.rpm
 Processing...

 Nothing happens. Oh and also, I use Synaptic(apt-rpm)
 most of the times and that also hangs when its in the
 installation part. Since I have uninstalled that, Im
 guessing the problem has to do with RPM. Any

Re: Switch dekstop to XFCE ?

You really can't. However, when you install xfce_setup script to build
the appropriate X startup scripts in your home directory. Once you
decided to go back to gnome, just run switchdesk again and you will be
right back where you started.

Re: nfs newbie

2003-08-14 Thread Rilindo Foster
Oddly enough, I have that same problem earlier today.

Basically, make sure that you account for the reverse of each domain.
Also, in the exportfs file, the server name you are putting in should be
the client or the server that is going to mount the file system on (in
this, A). Like so:

On server A - 
/backup
-rw=10.0.81.115:serverb.net,anon=0,root=10.0.81.115:serverb.net,access=10.0.81.115:serverb.net

On server B -

mount servera:/backup /mnt/backup (it will assume that it is a remote
server with that format).

I downloaded, and did

./configure  '--with-serial-dev=/dev/usb/hid/hiddev[0-9]'
 --with-upstype=usb --with-upscable=usb   --enable-pthreads   --enable-usb

which seemed to go OK.

But when I went to install,...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] apcupsd-3.10.5]# make install
/bin/sh ./ /sbin
./: ./: is a directory

Looking at the Makefile, there appears to be no mkdir command to actually
make the directories.
install-directories: install-dir

$MKINSTALLDIRS = $(topdir)/, and $topdir isn't set to anyting.  Niether is
$DESTDIR

I tried making those directories by hand and bypassing that section, then
 make install ran without errors, but did not actually install any files.

You can see the output of configure at

 this was a dead issue as of 2.3.0.  Please correct me if I ve missed

 OP, in any case, regardless of version, if you don't allow ssh
 protocol 1 connections (which you shouldn't, unless you're providing a

Hi Mike,

I've concidered this, but there's no evidence for this - plus it's a hell of

I've had a look at the syslog etc., and there's nothing in there that points

Whatever it is, it's crippling the entire machine.

Subject: RE: Samba 2.2.1a + Red Hat 7.2 + Printing = Grief


I hate to admit it but I did get printing working on Samba 2.2.1a, but under
IRIX.  Its been awhile, and I hoped that my notes would remind me what the
trick was...
There is a change in printing between 2.0 and 2.2 and it also gave me grief
in getting it to work (I started with 2.2.0 which had a bug in the printing
system).   The big change is how the printer drivers are handled, with Samba
now going to the Windows RPC instead of LanMan.  From looking at my setup I
have a directory tree /usr/local/samba/printers with subdirectories of the
various Window versions that we support, ./W32X86 and ./WIN40.  Then in the
smb.conf I have a [print$] share, that specifies this directory:
 [print$]
 path=/usr/local/samba/printers
 guest ok = Yes
 printable=Yes

and the usual entry for a printer served by the samba server:
 [HP4500]
 path=/tmp
 guest ok = Yes
 printable = Yes
 postscript = Yes
 printer name HP4500LJ

Then you will use the Add Printer Wizard on the Windows client to add the
printer.  It may prompt for a privilege user/password which I believe I used
root's on the Samba server (at the same time I was setting our system up as
a PDC).  It will ask for the printer driver and it will then magically show
up in the Windows printers box.

The documentation for this can be found in
/usr/samba/docs/htmldocs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html in section 6 which
should have come with the distro, if not check www.samba.org.  Hope this
helps.

Subject: Samba 2.2.1a + Red Hat 7.2 + Printing = Grief



I recently setup a Red Hat 7.2 box with Samba 2.2.1a (the one that came with

dist). Printer is working fine (inkjetc HP 842c) -it successfully prints
from
the Linux Box, faye.

However, my laptop ed (running Windows 2000), won't connect to printer.
First time around, it get's accessed denied, so I added my login to the
write
less and also tried the guest account. That worked, but it won't accept any
print jobs from my laptop.

Worse, when I removed the samba entry and readded it, and try to readd it,
wierd stuff started to happen (like SecureCRT) crashing and getting function

calls errors when I tried to bring up the properties of the driver on my
laptop.

From what I understand, the Samba printing changed between 2.0.x and 2.2.x,

but the instructions I read on the Samba documentation doesn't seem to help
me. It used to be a lot more simpler with 2.0.x. Sigh.

Has anybody setup Samba printing successfully?

Re: RH7.1 install on HP Netserver hangs

2002-01-02 Thread Rilindo Foster

I had that same problem installing Red Hat 7.1 with the lp 2000r. So, we used 
mylex card as a work around (which turns out to have its own problems).

There were no install issues with Red Hat 7.2. So unless you have a reason to 
stay with Red Hat 7.1, it might be best to try 7.2.

 Hi all,

 I'm trying to install Red Hat Linux 7.1 on a HP Netserver lp 2000r but
 having problems with the megaraid driver.

 If I try to use the driver disk from HP it just hangs at the Loading
 megaraid driver step.

 If I dont use the driver disk it will usually hang at the same step but
 about 1 in 7 reboots it will be accepted and the install continues as
 normal. But booting the newly installed system also only works about 1 in 7
 attempts.

 It seems to be the driver usually tries to turn on 64 bit addressing which
 causes the box to hang.  The times where it does work it disables the 64
 bit addressing and seems perfectly happy then.

 Anyone got any suggestions on this?

Wierd password problem - root linked to user login.

2001-03-03 Thread Rilindo Foster

Friends,

We recently setup Red Hat 6.2 (server installed) and yesterday I had to go
change the root password via linux single mode (the client couldn't su to
root). At any rate, here is the problem.

The client can't login with the user password that he set; however, he can
login via the root password. So, when he telnet to box and login with:

joeuser

and types the password he is supposed to connect, he gets an error. However,
login with the root password (with the regular user) logs in him.

At that point, he tried to change the password for user. No success. When
entering the new password, he gets the message:

Password unchanged.

So he su to root and tried to change the password from there. No go. Still
logins with the root password.

One would that it is an isolated problem. Except that when I add in another
user (with the password I specified), I couldn't log with that password I
choose with that user - but I was able to login with the root password.

It is as if the root password is linked with the users on that machine. Any
ideas what is going on?

(BTW, passwd does have the SETGID correctly set).

Wierd... almost as if the box was hacked! I'd consider
wiping the drive and reinstalling from scratch!

Thorton,

Okay, that confirms the problem. Now how to recover (short of
reinstallation)? Had anybody every recovered from such an incident?

DANGER, DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

That definitely looks like you've been hacked.

rpc.statd is one of those notorious security holes. There are updates
fixing all the known exploits, but I'm guessing this was done before you
had a chance to install them.

The next part shows someone adding a user account 'sql' with the same uid
as root. Basically, it is a backdoor account and has no legitimate
purpose.

Hi,

Can someone tell me if the Creative Labs 128 Ensoniq PCI (es1371) sound card

I've found a lot of documents saying the above card works with Linux,
