I'd go a step furthur and keep the last kernel around for a while.
ie, if on 2.4.20-20, keep 2.4-20.19 until 21 came out. Just because you
can boot to the new kernel isn't a guarantee there won't be bugs later.

raid1, rh9 & SATA drives
I have a 1u server - the description is listed below. http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/SUPERServer/SuperServer5013C-T.htm I've loaded up RH9 with raid1 setup and I've updated the OS with all the latest rpms(kernel included) and such. The drives for the raid setup are Western Digital hot-swappable Serial ATA drives. So I figured with hot swappable drives running raid1 I'd be able to yank a drive up and still have things running. Then looking at /proc/mdstat I'd see 1 drive down - but the system *should* keep running. Anyhow I pulled a drive, typed few basic commands - got some junk that rolled across console - then the system froze. People could no longer ping the machine, console was unresponsive, ctl-alt-del didn't work. I had to power cycle the machine. Basically I'm asking why I'm seeing this behavior - w/ a system running raid1 with and hotswapable? Is there anything I can do as far as hard/software setup to make sure linux keeps running. In theory one drive can fair the the other should still work. -- Rock River Internet Roger Grunkemeyer 202 W.

All PCs, inlcuding the RH9 have the fixed ip addresses and the host names put in their hosts files. I am not running a domain but have set the Windows PCs under Workgroup rather than a domain name. The RH9 machine I just put the name, server in the etc/hosts file along with its ip number. Some programs on the RH9 seem to be "grizzling" about such a setup, i.e. sendmail commenting on lack of fully qualified domain name. I also have a situation where transferring data from the Windows 2K to the RH9 goes well (100MB LAN) but coming back it is dead slow, about 3 minutes for a 10MB file. Should I set up a domain on my LAN, would it make things easier to set up and what software would I use?

Re: redhat advanced server with kernel 2.4.18?
As you are running Oracle you should run the kernel that comes with Red Hat Advanced Server, as this has added functionality specifically for Oracle systems. I wouldn't be suprised if Oracle won't provide support for anyone who compiles a different kernel as this would not has gone through the extensive testing and certification that default kernel has. Red Hat has also ported some features from newer kernels into the AS2.1 kernel, so the version number itself is not a true indication of how 'old' it is.

Re: RH 9: ok, so i overreacted ... but i'm still miffed
Red Hat Linux 8.x/9.x... is now considered by RH as a bleeding-edge operating system for consumer use, mainly targeted towards home users, small business and enthusiasts. As a significant percentage of Red Hat's revenue is coming from Advanced Server (Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS), they are trying to push companies into buying this product. One way to achieve this is to turn the general releases of Red Hat Linux into a constantly changing test bed for Advanced Server. Features that have proven solid in the general releases will be eventually migrated into the Enterprise Linux products. As this will no doubt result in reduced stability in the general releases, anyone wanting stablity and reliability will need to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I had a number of servers running 6.2/7.2/7.3, but as 7.3 won't be supported after 31-Dec-03 I had to decide what version I was going to run. Like many people, I don't want phone/email support from Red Hat, just the errata packages for security and bug fixes. As the general releases won't be supported for more than 12 months (unlike RH6.2 - 3 years), I was not too keen to upgrade my reliable 7.2/7.3 servers with 8.0 or 9.0 at the end of the year. So I built my own version of Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 from the SRPMS and have a near automated process for building the errata RPMS from the SRPMS. I can install my custom built version of RHAS 2.1 on as many servers as I like (quite legally - GPL) without needing to pay Red Hat a huge amount of money in per server per year licenses. With this, I now get the benefit of 5+ years of errata for a stable Linux distribution. I don't mind paying money for errata packages, such as if Red Hat decided to support 7.3 for 2 more years, but I'm not going to pay $US1500 per server, per year. I do not need any of the advanced features in Red Hat Advanced Server, all I am looking for is a reasonably priced release that is stable and supported (errata) long term. However, I object strongly to paying per server licensing for software that is essentially GPL. You might ask, why not run another distribution, eg Debian, Slackware...? Well, may software vendors only support there products on Red Hat Linux and most are now moving to support only Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SLES. Server manufactuers are also moving to only supporting the Enterprise Linux products of the main 4 Linux vendors with their hardware management agents.

Building Red Hat Andvanced Server 2.1 from SRPMS
This is the procedure I used to build my own version of Advanced Server from the SRPMS. I would be interested to know what potential problems can be encountered and the difference between the end result and the actual AS2.1 from RH. - Install RH7.2 on a machine, install all packages. - Download AS2.1 SRPMS from Red Hat mirror Note: IBM JRE/SDK have a commercial license. All other packages are non commercial. - Compile each package: rpmbuild --rebuild package.src.rpm Almost all packages build properly, a few changes the kernel SPEC file required to build the appropriate kernels. - Create a suitable directory tree, such as /home/redhat/2.1as/i386 and put the compiled RPM into i386/RedHat/RPMS directory - Get hold of the AS2.1 comps file, I used the one from the beta release http://ftp.sanguine.net/pub/sahughes/extras/rhl/beta/pensacola/redhat-7.1.91AS/en/os/i386/RedHat/base/comps - Generate hdlist files genhdlist /home/redhat/2.1as/i386 - Build installer buildinstall --pkgorder /home/redhat/2.1as/pkgorder.txt --version 2.1as /home/redhat/2.1as/i386 At this point, network installations can be performed To create ISOs: splitdistro --fileorder /home/redhat/2.1as/pkgorder.txt /home/redhat/2.1as i386 genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder /home/redhat/2.1as/pkgorder.txt /home/redhat/2.1as/i386-disc[12] mkisofs .

I have a machine with 2 hard disks of identical size and I use rsync to backup onto the second drive. Assuming /, /usr, /var are mounted in /backup/root, /backup/usr and /backup/var you can run something like rsync -avxH --delete / /backup/root rsync -avxH --delete /usr/ /backup/usr rsync -avxH --delete /var/ /backup/var You would also need to install grub on the second disk if you ever want to boot from it. I've also used the same approach to resize the partitions on the second disk, sync the data across, then make the second disk the primary one. -Roger -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: Advanced Server 2.1 update SRPMS - where?
This means you cannot install it on multiple servers from the CDs you received when you buy a subscription, without licensing the additional servers. As you are free to 'roll your own' version of Advanced Server, it is quite acceptable to have one server that is licensed from CDs and other servers that are running your own release put together from the SRPMS. Where does it say I cannot take the SRPMS downloaded from RHN and distribute it to another server that is not one of the licensed servers, bearing in mind that I have put together my own version of Advanced Server that is very similar but not identical to the real thing? > Dan Bar Dov wrote: > > This is a very unhelpful answer.

Red Hat is trying to push people into using Advanced Server regardless of whether they need the features this product provides. Recently Red Hat have announced they will provide errata maintenance for 12 months from the release date for Red Hat Linux. This requires administrators to upgrade servers far more often than in the past, just to be running a supported version. Many software vendors and hardware companies who provide management agents for their servers will also not be supporting anything other than Advanced Server, simply because they do not want to keep certifying their product after every new release of Red Hat Linux. They prefer the longer release cycle of Advanced Server and will require their customers to be running Advanced Server if they want to receive support. Red Hat seems to be positioning Red Hat Linux (8.x) to be their bleeding edge release, which to some extent will be a test bed for features later integrated into Advanced Server. Some people just want a slow moving stable release with a longer release cycle. This is preferable for machines running services such as DNS or DHCP that do not require all the extra functionality offered in newer Red Hat releases and do not require the high end features available in Advanced Server. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

RE: Advanced Server 2.1 update SRPMS - where?
According to http://www.redhat.com/licenses/rhlas_us.html you cannot install the purchased product on more that one machine, without buying additional licenses. In addition you also give Red Hat the authority to conduct on site audits to verify compliance. However, as Red Hat Advanced Server is not "proprietary" and protected under the GPL (http://www.redhat.com/software/whichlinux.html) you a free to 'roll on own' version. (http://www.redhat.com/advice/ask_shadowman_may02.html) I assembled my own RHAS 2.1 ISOs from the source RPMs that are available on Red Hat mirrors (ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/redhat/). I can now use these ISOs throughout my organisation without having needing to buy expensive annual subscriptions on a per server basis. I do not think it is possible to distribute these ISOs outside my organisation as it will violate Red Hat's trademarks, however it is quite easy to create your own version, I may publish some instructions on how I did it if people are interested. > > > > > > If so, I guess I'll have to purchase one subscription just to get > the > > > SRPMS from RHN, which I then have it automatically build the RPM and > > > distributed to my other servers. > > > > This is impossible :-) > > Accroding to Service Agreement you have to buy subscription to all > > Installed Servers. > > > > > > > Not as I understand the license. > I believe you can install it and use it and copy it as you wish, just > like with any GPL code.

Advanced Server 2.1 update SRPMS - where?
I have recently created my own version of Advanced Server 2.1 using the SRPMS that Red Hat have made available and intend on using it on a few dozen servers. I have noticed that so far this year, 8 security packages for AS 2.1 have been released, but none of the SRPMS have yet appeared on updates.redhat.com. The SRPMS for these packages are available for RHL 6.2 - 8.0 but not AS 2.1. Does Red Hat usually withhold AS 2.1 SRPMS, so as to force people into paying for a subscription or otherwise have to wait days or weeks for the SRPMS to security fixes? If so, I guess I'll have to purchase one subscription just to get the SRPMS from RHN, which I then have it automatically build the RPM and distributed to my other servers. -Roger -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

What's it take to get a redhat 7.3 box to run without monitor connected? With X running, I can remove the monitor. Booting run level 3, it dies when the monitor is disconnected.

Re: Clock problem on RedHat 8
For some odd ball reason unknown to me redhat does like the clock sometimes. Using the 'hwclock' command I have had to either sync the bios clock to the o/s. hwclock --hctosys This sets hardware clcok to the system clock. Might also want to look in the /etc/sysconfig directory for clock settings. There you set timezone, UTC settings (mine is set for true) and also ARC (???).

Question about sendmail client
Hi, There I am running RH8 as my smtp server. But now, I feel it's not as convenient as the MS Exchange I used. Before, when we use Exchange,it will inform users immediately after emails arrive. But Sendmail can not. We have to wait for emails' arriving every sevral minutes that is set within email client program, such as Outlook express, Outlook, etc... I wonder if there is possibility that sendmail can push the emails to client in time automatically? If not, if there is a linux-based email software that could meet we needs?

Automatically install complied kernel
Hi, there I am running RH8 linux. As I know, if we use LILO as boot loader, we can use 'make zlilo' as the last step during compling the new customized kernel.But, now I am using GRUB as the boot loader, if there is a new command for compling kernel to automatially install the new kernel to the proper place after the new kernel is complied, just like 'make zlilo| bzlilo' command?

Transparent proxy with iptables
Hi. I am working on a transparent proxy project now. The softs I using are the iptables (NAT) coming with RH8, squid 2.5-stable and RH8. The configureation I made are the following. First: SNAT all the request from the intranet to internet, for example: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j SNAT --to 2.2.2.2 Second: Redirect the http request to squid listening port (3128) iptalbes -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128. I think it should work. but after I assigned the 2.2.2.2 as the default gateway to clients by DHCP . The clients can't surf internet at all, the other services are ok. The error message they get is "While trying to retrieve the URL: / The following error was encountered: Invalid URL " ..BLA BLA. It seems that iptables tansfers only "/" to squid on behalf of clients requests instead of the real url the clients issued. Any suggestion???

kernel -- dos.o?
Greetings: I am trying to use mondoarchive and it keeps complaining about unable to insert (via insmod) the dos module. currently using RH7.3 with kernel 2.4.18-10. Did a locate for the dos.o but came up empty handed. Did find the msdos.o in the /lib/modules/2.4.18--10/kernel/fs/msdos/msdos.o. More specifically the error message states: insmod: dos: no module by that name found. How does one go about fixing this problem? Can I assume that I must compile the kernel to include that module. Or can I upgrade/downgrade to a different kernel to include the specified module?

Re: initialize new scsi disk
On compaq servers you have to use the smart start cd and put the new disk into the array controller as raid 0. To make the file system use fdisk -c /dev/idac0d3. Default filesystem is ext2, -c checks for bad blocks. Next figure out XFS, or better yet install XFS.

nic(s) not found -- long

It has a built in NIC card (pcnet32) and a Compaq FastEthernet -- NC3121 PCI card. The machine sees the NICs but cannot get it to initialize the NICs' for the life of me.
