Re: MySQL vs. PostgreSQL
I have to preface this by saying that I haven't personally used Postgres for anything... I use MySQL for database-driven websites and a db-driven chat system that I am toying with. While the sites I have running are low-volume, I would note that I ran ApacheBench against one of them to see how well the system would hold up under load. I was surprised to find that when getting hammered with thousands of requests per minute, it was Apache that had problems. I was running top on a terminal session while the benchmark tool was running, and MySQL stayed at under 2% of the total, Apache was racking the processor utilization up tp 90+%.

The IP address in the Xwin.exe command should be the IP of the box you are trying to connect to. So, if your redhat box has an IP of 192.168.1.101, then the IP in the command should be 192.168.1.101.

RE: Red Hat 8 and Exceed
There are two parts to this setup. On the linux side, you have to enable XDMCP. In Redhat 8, there is a utility called gdmsetup that does this. Either launch gdmsetup from the command line, or it should be under System Settings -> Login Screen in the menu. On the XDMCP tab, check the box to Enable DXMCP. Then, there is the actual Cygwin setup on the Windows side. I think the available documentation is sufficient to get it up and running, but I kind of knew what I was looking for. So, if you are going to give this a try, I would see if you get it working, and if not, myself, or someone on this list should be able to walk you through it. Once Cygwin is installed, you bring up a Cygwin shell. It helps to realize that Cygwin is basically a UNIX 'emulator' that runs on Windows. Once you have a cygwin shell, you access the linux box using a command like: Xwin.exe :0 -query 192.168.168.102 -screen 0 1024 768 where you replace the IP address with the IP of your linux box. If you have DNS available on your network, you can use the hostname instead of the IP address. I realize that this won't make sense until you actually have it in front of you, so don't hesitate to ask questions. -- Shannon Neumann Neumannweb Computers www.neumannweb.net > I am interested in how you set this up. > > -----Original Message- > From: Shannon Neumann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 9:56 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Red Hat 8 and Exceed > > > Is Exceed something that you already have on-hand?

Re: To firewall or not to firewall (was Re: What is the disadvantage of Linux firewall...)
I have been following this thread all day with equal amounts of amusement and contempt. First of all, let me say that I by no means think that firewalls are the silver bullet solution for network security. As others have pointed out, firewalls can cause a false sense of security in some cases. However, saying that Redhat is "secure enough" out of the box is like saying that the locks on my car are good enough, so why should I have an alarm? The answer is because it makes the other guy (the one with no alarm [firewall]) an easier target. Face it, if I have a decent firewall in place that drops all incoming packets and you have even a single port open, then you are going to the target and I am not. Also, the attitude that "Windows sucks and Linux rocks" is the kind of elitist notion that drives many potention linux converts back to Windows. It sounds like you have blind faith in a Operating system that is equally capable of being cracked. Again, don't get me wrong. My non-windows boxes outnumber my Windows machines 4 to 1, but that doesn't mean that Windows is not the right tool for certain jobs. Just my 2 pennies. -- Shannon Neumann Neumannweb Computers www.neumannweb.net > I would agree that there is something to be said for learning to batten > down your linux boxen.

Re: redhat and winxp machine not talking
Perhaps this has already been mentioned, I apologize if it has. If you are trying to use the WindowsXP box as the gateway to the internet, do you have Internet Connection Sharing set up? If not, then it's not gonna do what you want it to. As far as pinging, both machines have default firewall rules that should block incoming ping requests, so... At a command-line on the linux box, I would do a service iptables stop to disable the firewall and then see if you can ping from windows to linux.

Re: SSH Error
Are you running nmap from the Redhat box that you are trying to connect to? The reason I ask is that if you are, often it will show ports as open that are not actually open to outside machines because of iptables. What you might try is stopping iptables with service iptables stop and see if you can connect. If you can, then you need to tweak iptables using the redhat-config-securitylevel and set it to allow incoming ssh.

Re: Using sendmail? as a distribution list
This is actually a pretty easy one... You create a line in /etc/aliases like the following: dummy: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] you can put as many email address in here as you need to, and they can be on seperate lines, so long as the are comma-delimited. Note how my third one is on the next line. After that restart sendmail with a service sendmail restart, and you are good to go. Oh, also note that the alias (dummy, in my example) does NOT have to be a user account on your server. Hope that helps! Shannon Neumann Neumannweb Computers www.neumannweb.net Reuben D. Budiardja wrote: Hello, I want to have somekind of distribution list for sending e-mail so that I can send e-mail to few people just by specifying one To: address. Mailer like Eudora has this capability built-in. Kmail has something like this too, but it sucks since I have to have an entry in the contact for each e-mail address I want to put in the distribution list. I use Kmail though, BTW. So I am wondering if there's any way to do this through sendmail, and then I can send the mail to a local address, and let sendmail distribute it. The initial idea that I have is to have something like this: 1. create a new user, eg. distribution1 2. create .forward file in /home/distribution1 3. put the entry in that .forward file, such as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc.. 4. Then to send e-mail, I can just send to distribution1@localhost But this is not very elegant since then I have to create new user everytime I want to have new distribution list, and it will clutter up the /home directory. Any pointers or help for something like this? Thanks a lot. Reuben D. Budiardja

My understanding is
that sendmail onlyuses the mqueue if it is configured to queue the mail

itself that writes themessages to that directory after an SMTP connection
has been used to get themessage to sendmail.
I suppose what could be done is to create a shellscript that scans your
shared directory and sends the messages to sendmail,and then run that
script as a cron job every hour or whatever, but it wouldtake a little
thought to make sure that would work correctly.

Re: SAMBA/CUPS print queue
This kind of depends on a couple of things. First, I am going to assume that you are NOT using the Samba box as a Domain Controller for your Windows boxes. Having said that, this problem comes up when you are logged on to the Windows box as an administrative user who does not have root level privileges on the linux box. It has to with the specific OS calls that are used to access the print queue, which are briefly explained in the man pages. Below, I have included the line you can add to smb.conf to correct it, as well as the relevant section of the smb.conf man page. What you can do is add the following line to the globals section of your smb.conf to apply it to all printers: use client driver = yes Now, here I have included the relevant section of the smb.conf man page: use client driver (S) This parameter applies only to Windows NT/2000 clients. It has no affect on Windows 95/98/ME clients. When serving a printer to Windows NT/2000 clients without first installing a valid printer driver on the Samba host, the client will be required to install a local printer driver. From this point on, the client will treat the print as a local printer and not a network printer connection. This is much the same behavior that will occur when disable spoolss = yes. The differentiating factor is that under normal circumstances, the NT/2000 client will attempt to open the network printer using MS-RPC. The problem is that because the client considers the printer to be local, it will attempt to issue the OpenPrinterEx() call requesting access rights associated with the logged on user. If the user possesses local administator rights but not root privilegde on the Samba host (often the case), the OpenPrinterEx() call will fail. The result is that the client will now display an "Access Denied; Unable to connect" message in the printer queue window (even though jobs may successfully be printed). If this parameter is enabled for a printer, then any attempt to open the printer with the PRINTER_ACCESS_ADMINISTER right is mapped to PRINTER_ACCESS_USE instead. Thus allowing the OpenPrinterEx() call to succeed. This parameter MUST not be able enabled on a print share which has valid print driver installed on the Samba server. See also disable spoolss Default: use client driver = no I hope this helps.

Re: Partition Sizes
In theory, if the /usr and /var partitions were right next to each other on the hard drive, you could use a tool like partition magic to shrink down the one, and then enlarge the other, but in my opinion, the risk of data loss is much too high. Besides, you could move the Apache and MySQL stuff without having to take the server down. There may be minor disruption this way, but executed properly, that disruption could be a matter of a minute or less. I could probably provide detailed instructions on how to accomplish this, if need be.
