Unfortunately quite possible. Would you be able to take it off the network
for several days and see if the panic re-occurs ? Other than that check your
messages log and such for repeated attacks. Also check space on the server
and make sure this isn't being filled up. 

Next time it panics like that see if it is possible first to ping,
then to telnet into the server. See if there is any life at all in it. It is
quite likely that you will have to take this box off line to attempt to find
out and resolve whatever the issue is. Although it could simply be a dodgy
network card.

My guess is that you are looking for a way to start EITHER gnome OR KDE from
the text interface.  You can have only one "default" at startup...you can
change the default when you want, but there is no facility that I know of
that will launch one or the other depending one the users mood.  I would
imagine that there is probably a script that one could create that would set
the desktop preferences and startx in one flavor or the other...but I don't
know of exactly how to do this.

At what stage does the panic occur, is it at boot up, idle time,
when certain applications/processes are running ? If the system panics at
boot, try booting in single user mode or from a rescue disk and switch on
the services one at a time to establish if any of them are causing the
hiccup.

Subject: Using the date command in a crontab entry


Greetings,

I'm trying to insert the date command in a crontab entry, and I keep 
getting an error.  I've tried just about every possible syntax I can think 
of, so I'm either being stupid or what I want can't be done.  I've tried 
the following entries (minus the time/date/day fields):

/usr/local/sbin/backup.bash "`date +%Y-%m-%d`" Fri
-or-
/usr/local/sbin/backup.bash "`date '+%Y-%m-%d'`" Fri
-or-
/usr/local/sbin/backup.bash `date +%Y-%m-%d` Fri
-or-
/usr/local/sbin/backup.bash `date '+%Y-%m-%d'` Fri

This *shoud* pass two arguments to the script backup.bash, making the 
command look like so:

/usr/local/sbin/backup.bash 2002-03-07 Fri

but cron doesn't like the date command.  I'm thinking that it's tripping 
over the "+" needed to format the date command since e-mail from cron reads:

Subject: Cron  /usr/local/sbin/backup.bash `date +

/bin/sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
/bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I know I can use a short perl script to pass the date along, but I was 
trying to just do so in the cron entry.  Am I doing something wrong or do I 
need to use a short perl "wrapper" script?

Did you add the above to your crontab or root's crontab?  Also, cron
should send an email containing any output from the command(s) to the
owner of the crontab.  That might give you some clues about why it
isn't working.

RE: another md5sum question

[Stephen_Reilly]

David,
--checksig checks the PGP signature. The RPM itself is signed and
thus contains the signature. I presume you mean --nopgp ? This "ignores PGP
errors when verifying". Its not a md5 checksum, it doesn't check the
correctness of the file only the origin.

This command:

meets with my skepticism.  It checks the md5 sum of an rpm package.  
- From where does rpm get the sum to which it compares the computed
value?  If it comes from within the file itself, absent any
out-of-band confirmation of the actual md5 sum associated with that
package, how is this in any way meaningful?

Quickly, you could just do:

# md5sum filename

and then compare that against the md5 checksum that's listed on the server 
for the file.

disclaimer: md5 checksums only prove that the files are in all probability 
the same, but there's still an ever-so-slight chance of them being 
different.. cept I don't think that such a case has ever happened 
anyway :)

On my system, 'top' displays this...

CPU0 states: 97.0% user,  2.2% system, 97.2% nice,  0.0% idle
CPU1 states: 98.1% user,  1.3% system, 98.0% nice,  0.0% idle

I'm running two instances of seti@home ;-)

But I think what you might be getting at is that 'top' would show the load
each
process is using on which CPU?  Is that correct?  That would be very cool.
I
haven't heard about this.

RE: Bash Script Questions

[Stephen_Reilly]

>>  var3=`echo -e "$var1\n$var2"`
>>...does the trick.

It's the -e option in echo that's doing this, it allows the \n to be 
read and used as a new line. e.g. echo -e "$var1\n$var2" should
read:
a
b
but echo var3 after above would still give:
a b

Now what you should do is store the \n's in var3 like:
var3=`echo "$var1\n$var2"`
after which:
echo -e var3
would give the desired output

You wont be able to store the result in a variable like that, but you can
use

That can happen, you would have had to telnet in and start killing processes
and free up space. You should be able to set each of the offending utilities
not to log errors to /dev/console. e.g. change the /etc/syslog.conf file.
For a better understanding of what's going on have a look in
/usr/src/linx-2.?.??/mm/ specifically at vmscan.c, the sections that call
do_try_to_free_pages(). 
Also take a look at swap.c, the location for documentation for VM
tuning is in this code.  

>Any ideas where I could find these patches?

hmm couldn't find any on http://linuxvm.org/patches although it does make
for interesting reading, so I may have been wrong about that one. Although
there have been various patches for VM in the past by Rik van Riel and
others. If you trawl through the linux-kernel archive you'll find quite a
few of them . . . 
I'll leave further searching to your good self as there is alot of
information out there on the subject. A page is about 1 or 2k ... ? What
kernel version are you currently running ?Apparantly 2.2.17pre9 fixes
everything:)

RE: do_try_to_free_pages failed

[Stephen_Reilly]

Peter,
If they are only occasional errors then it's fine but if there are
loads of them the system could hang, but of course not in your case as the
process is being killed instead. What's happening is the syslogd cannot free
up pages. Syslogd has directly made a request for free memory which invokes
the do_try_to_free_pages() function. (Kswapd usually calls this function).
This function then tries to free kernel cache memory and attempts to shrink
mapped memory using (shrink_mmap). It tries to free shared out memory. Try
and increase your swap space. Actually I think there should be a few VM
patches out there for this, something to do with increasing the priority
setting in shrink_mmap or calling swap_out(), can't really remember.

Yes, that's correct - only on lines that begin with 'TH' as the second and
third characters.  It's run during configure to change manpage numbers to
appropriate values on a per-OS basis (software development).

>Sounds like their sed is no fun all... do the same thing with perl?

It appears that the SCO, Solaris, and probably HP-UX versions of sed barf
when the \(match\) is empty or undefined.  This is somewhat interesting,
because you can exploit this bug by doing something like: 
echo 'hello world' | sed 's/\(\)/\1/g'
because the \(match\) is defined to be empty rather than undefined as empty.

>perl -p -e 's/(^.TH*)4F/${1}4/'

It will take a fair amount of work to change this to perl, unfortunately.
But so far it looks like my only hope.  I can't expect all of the potential
users of this software to go out and change out their sed version.

Thanks.

Lee.

You might have to be more specific on your goal.  find with -exec will be

RE: /var/log/cron file

yeah it's perfectly normal, according to man page: 
"
   Rmmod unloads loadable modules from the running kernel.

   Rmmod  tries  to unload a set of modules from the kernel, with the
restriction that
   they are not in use and that they are not referred to by other
modules.

   If more than one module is named on the command line, the modules
will  be  removed
   simultansously.  This supports unloading of stacked modules.
"
and the two options being:

   -a Remove all unused modules.

RE: 2 gig limitation on file?

[Stephen_Reilly]

Steve,
The patch written by Matti Aarnio ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is
available on ftp://mea.tml.tele.fi/linux/LFS/ . Another one is on
ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz//pub/local/mj/linux/smugfs-0.0.tar.gz written
by Martin Mares. Again with the 31 Bit offset. Unfortunetly the VFS
abstraction layer passes files offsets as signed ints so the 4Gb that you
should already have with 32 Bit, you don't. If your running on 64 Bit
architecture then you should wait for kernel 2.4.xx, and RH7 Enterprise
Edition which allows file manipulation above 2047Mb -- Terabytes in fact.

The issue is not with PICO but with the fact that an ordinary user

Subject: pico can cripple a system


I had a user ftp up a 100MB+ text file and then try opening it with pico.
Well, it brought the system to its knees, and it went unresponsive for
nearly an hour (128MB RAM, 8GB HDD, AMD K6-2/450) until I executed a
'shutdown -r' (and even that took several minutes to initiate).

Now maybe the user wasn't all that careful, but it seems innocent enough.

How is this not a security issue?  Seems to me that pico needs to be a
little more concerned about CPU usage when it opens a file.

Thanks.

There was a similar problem mentioned on list recently the resulting
error turned out to be the premissions on su itself didn't have the SUID bit
set. Which in turn wouldn't allow the user to read the shadow passwd file
and ergo 'incorrect password'. Go make sure there's an 's' in the

My advice is to stick to the "simple".

I prefer to use
ps -ef to obtain the Pid of the login question.
Then, as the others suggested, use kill on the PID.

However, with ps -aef, you can tell what that user is doing and what
PID is attached to the task.  Incidentally, if you "kill" the lowest PID# 
for the user, that SHOULD kill all the tasks the user started (unless they 
were using nohup).

Enjoy.

how about

The brackets on the grep will not allow the grep command itself to be

64 Bit OS Port

[Stephen_Reilly]

Does anyone know of any documentation or definitive website
regarding porting Redhat (or any other distros for that matter) to 64 Bit OS
architechture ? I have only been able to find general information regarding
commercial Unix ports, need specific Linux info, or more in depth info on
the Unix ports. 

Cheers,
--steve

RE: Linux+Novell

[Stephen_Reilly]

this should help a bit, Caldera and Netware

http://linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-02/lw-02-netware_p.html

you can also install Caldera's Netware for Linux which I'm sure is
documented on the Caldera site, supposedly quite limited though. What level
of interoperability are you looking for ? With Ntw for Lnx you can use Linux
as a Netware file and print server even with Netware clients and things,
hang on a sec . . .  ah yes there it is . . .
http://kvin.lv/pub/linux/netware/INSTALL.general  works on other distr of
Linux as well apparently.  

oh yeah and mars_nwe is available at
http://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mars_nwe.html

because,

I can feel all sorts of bias responces welling up in me, but anyway.
I've installed slackware and Redhat (various versions) on quite a few
Latitudes and never had any unsurmountable problems. The first time I tried
it the install was smoothe and nothing really had to be fiddled with. Added
to that there are several Redhat on Dell laptops mailing lists so the
support is certainly out there if you do run into difficulty. If your only
looking at a small purchase then the Inspiron line of noteboks is what you
want to be looking at. What type of net mng software do you want to run
(lemmie guess, everything ??).

I actually have a Thinkpad at home, great things :), but I have to
admit I never tried running Linux on it and it is quite an old model. 

btw we ship RH Linux 6.1 preinstalled on a Dell Inspiron 7500 Notebook,
serious piece of hardware, bit pricey though. 

because,
Steve

RE: Core Problem from Gnome

[Stephen_Reilly]

start by using file or adb they should tell you what dumped, it's fine to
delete the thing though if your not concerned what caused it...

RE: INSTALL: Dell Inspiron 7500

[Stephen_Reilly]

Tom,

Dell farm out Linux support to Linuxcare and yes it will always be
difficult to get Linux support on Laptops. Having said that, you should be
aware that the bulk of Linux or indeed any other software support will not
be found at the hardware vendor. The site below details Inspiron 7500
installation, including full instructions on how to configure the AGP Rage
Mobility (even including a working XF86Config file). Unfortunetly the dual
card support is not included there. 

http://jimf.ne.mediaone.net/~jimf/linux/inspiron7500.html

Most dual cards supported can however be found here :

ftp://pcmcia.sourceforge.org/pcmcia/

look through the supported.cards list.

There's also a linux on dell laptops mailing list if you want to fish around
there for answers :

http://www.egroups.com/group/linux-dell-laptops/

Sorry I can't give you exact answers but I never got around to trying it on
the Inspiron. Hope this helps . . .

Regards,
Stephen Reilly,
