Re: anyone using port forwarding?
Try SHOREWALL. It does port forwarding beautifully, among other things. For example - I have all my FTP requests going through the Linux machine, which is where the firewall is at, on over to a WindowsXP machine.

netbios broadcasts
I notice that my samba setup is broadcasting lines of data which unfortunately is going out over my axip network.

Is it possible to be able to reach these OTHER machines using telnet,ssh,ftp etc directly without going into the main machine first. I was thinking that possibly this could be done through the use of ports. Something like, telnetting to the main machines' IP address plus a port number. (IP#xxx.xxx.xxx:8700) Each machine with their own port number. Does anyone have any thoughts on this.

Thanks Andy for offering your thoughts on getting ready for the RHCE. And if particular mentioning the RH300 Rapid Trace course.

I wonder if there is a way in RH8 to find out where all the symlinks are?

Nope. Drive C has to be NTFS if I can mount either partition using NTFS.
Its just that I can't mount BOTH of them using the NTFS statement, in my
/etc/fstab file. But I can mount one of them and than the other only
manually when I DON'T use 'NTFS ("mount /dev/hda1 /dos_d")..

John.. Thanks for your note. And you were right!! It sure does work once you have the module installed. But I have another question. I have two partitions that I would like to mount. /dev/hda1 /dos_c ntfsdefaults1 1 /dev/hda5 /dos_d ntfsdefaults1 1 The first one mounts just fine, but not the second one. Here is what I see when I try and mount the second one manually: # mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /dos_c mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems So something is wrong there. We know that /dev/hda5 mounted just fine but not hda1. And if I reverse things and mount /hda1 first than /dev/hda5 won't mount.

Might be that I have the scanner on a USB connection. Or that my scanner (hp3570c) is not supported by xsane. Funny thing is, RH8 sees the scanner and of course the appropriate modules is loaded. I tried vueScan and it doesn't support my scanner so that is out. Although I did try and find some combination of loading and reloading the module. No luck. It would never go.

Mounting HPFS/NTFS Drives
I am trying to mount some WindowsXP drives which happen to be HPFS/NTFS drives and I can't seem to be able to do it. Is it in fact possible for Linux 8.0 to SEE such drives? Can they be mounted?? Here is what FDISK shows when I look at /dev/hda: Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1275 10241406c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 1276 1278 24097+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda3 1279 2482 9671130f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 1279 2482 9671098+ 7 HPFS/NTFS It is /dev/hda5 that I want to mount. And what I have been doing is entering something like: mount -t ext3 /dev/hda5 /dosc and that is rejected.. Here is what I see: [root@mach3 root]# mount -t ext3 /dev/hda5 /dosc mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda5, or too many mounted file systems I tried using ext2 and it made no difference. I also tried trying to mount things more simply. I just entered : [root@mach3 root]# mount /dev/hda5 /dosc mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel ...and again the bottom line is, 'fs type ntfs' not supported by kernel. Does this mean I have to recompile the kernel to tell it to accept this file type? ??

Re: Domain Names Again..
Hi and thanks for dropping by. My domain.name is mach3.ve1drg.ampr.org with the alias of 'mach3'. My configuration is through a mechanical router (DI-704p) which is the gateway for my machines. mach3.ve1drg.ampr.org is just one of them. The gateway address is 192.168.0.1 and should not be seen from the outside world. The ip address assigned to 'mach3' by this router is 192.168.0.148 but the address assigned to it by the internet world is 24.224.173.45. Its' gateway is 24.224.173.1. Now, I am not sure if any of this info is helpful but since you asked - there it is. I need to configure things yet though, such that my internet IP address (24.224.173.45) is seen out in the real world. Haven't figured how to do this yet, ever since I stuck that mechanical router in place. Maybe in addition to me losing my hostname you might suggest how I can make the world see my cable address?

If you don't have a domain name to use, you can even just 'invent' one and use it, eg. hostname.mydomain.

No CD-WRITER or CD-ROM device
I just noticed that my CD-WRITER is not working in RH-8.0, and yet it worked fine in previous versions. My CD-ROM reader works fine. But not the Writer and yet it is mounted in the /etc/fstab file ok. ( /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 ) When I bring up XCDroast, I see this message : "No CD-WRITER or CD-ROM device detected. For ATAP/IDE devices under Linux you have to enable SCSI-Emulation in the kernel in order to activate them. Please see the X-CDroast howto to do that." Well - with all that being said, I first checked my kernel configuration and I see that a module for 'ISO 9660 CD-ROM file system Support" has been compiled in the kernel, as well as full SCSI support. So unless there is something else in the Kernel, I have to look else where. So, I went to the HOWTO docs for XCDroast and I see reference to the kernel support and also a suggestion to run /sbin/insmode ide-scsi. Well that did nothing for me although it did load the 'kernel drivers for ide-scsi.0" This leaves me with the question - where else do I look?

Kernel Paramater changes..
Just wondering something. I just had 'up2date' install the latest kernel for me (RH8.0) but it leaves me without the options that I had been using. It is my plan to go and find that .config file used to create this new kernel and amend it (make menuconfig) and recompile the kernel to include the options I had been using. My question is - should I simply compile up this new kernel and copy it over to the /boot directory - thereby overwriting the vmlinuz-x-x and System files that are there now?? Or should I amend the Makefile changing the "version release" to something different and than compile up the kernel with the new kernel name?? -- T.L.Gervais Coldbrook, NS Canada. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Can't find 'netscape' executable.
I recently installed netscape on a new RH8.0 installation and I that the system pops up the following message: KDEInit could not launch Netscape Could not find 'Netscape' executable.

Printing..
I have just finished installing my printer with the new installation of RH8.0 (HP895Cxi-Deskjet) and it works beautifully. I am posting this message not because I have a problem but rather success with something that I thought would be a problem. Initially I couldn't get my printer to work, or at least work properly so I switched to 'CUPS'. That took a bit of 'figuring' and setting up but once I saw the 'test' sheets come back so perfectly I knew I was on the right path. Since then, my printing tasks and jobs have been working perfectly and while this may just be the first day of my success, I feel confident that things will go well to the future. My thoughts for others are that if they are having printing problems, simply go to CUPS and let that process do all the work for you. I hope these thoughts help others..

Linux Kernel Configurator
I just found this 'Linux Kernel Configurator' in Kcontrol>System of KDE and I am running just how to use it? I already went through the various paramaters of the Kernel and made the changes needed, and than saved the file to the Kernels directory as .config. Now that I did all that, how are these changes brought into the actual Kernel? The only way I found to do this was to run ' make menuconfig' (first) and than saved it, before I compiled these changes into the Kernel. I assume one must still run the old manual commands to incorporate the changes needed in the kernel. As such I ran ' make dep clean bzImage && make modules modules_install'. This gave me the changes needed but is there another way. I ask this question simply because of this NEW feature (to me) of the 'Linux Kernel configurator' existing in the Kcontrol area of KDE??

Re: From LILO to GRUB
Do you have to remove LILO now that grub is installed? Will there be a conflict? And I presume you will have to input all your LILO data in GRUB to get things going?

That has always worked for me. But in this case I never get to the modules stage. ?? I also tried many different kernels, copies etc., No luck. There must be a way to get around this.

compiling a new kernel
I have a problem here and I have no idea how to get around it. I am trying to compile a new kernel with RH7.3 (2.4.19) and not matter what I do the compile never finishes but stops at some error. What I have been doing is making a note of what is stopping it and than going into the '.config' file and commenting out that item. Then I found that if I didn't comment it out but just re started the compile process , that it would go by that error and stop somewhere else. The bottom line is, I can't compile up a new kernel and I need to in order to change some of the options. How do I do it with all these errors and stoppages..???? -- Ted Gervais Coldbrook, Nova Scotia Canada. 1-902-679-2253 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Users and their file/directory Permissions.
What does one have to do, to keep users that enter your system, to stay in their own directories. People telnet in or ssh in and look around and was wondering if there is a way to stop that. Maybe set the permissions or something so they have to remain in their own home directory?? Is that possible? -- Ted Gervais Coldbrook, Nova Scotia Canada. 1-902-679-2253 ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
File/Directory Ownership..
I am wondering about how I can set up good control over the use of 'root' and file/directory ownership without hurting too many people. The situation is , our Club has a Computer that is maintained remotely through a dedicated internet link and it seems everyone that has to do things on that computer wants ROOT access. For example, the person that maintains the WEB page says he cannot do his amendment work etc., without root access. It was my feeling that only ONE person should have ROOT access and the other (sub/administrators)) should have something less than ROOT access. Maybe I am getting paranoid here but it seems too many funny little things are happening such that is done only by a person with root access that there is now a need for better control. So, if we were going to take away root access from the WEB page administrator (for example) could he not still do all his work (remotely) with ROOT access? In other words assign him a user name and password and maybe attach certain group permissions to that user name and have all his web page activities run off his user directory? Something like that?? Or should we live with the confusion and political unrest that we are having now?? Too many cooks in the kitchen right now.. --- Ted Gervais, Coldbrook, Nova Scotia, Canada ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: ext2 <-> ext3 filesystems
OK.. I understand. And I appreciate your feedback. I will have to do it
manually at the site, rather than try something from 'afar'.
That could lead to troubles so I will wait until I can have someone at the
site and we should all be a lot happier.
Thanks again for your thoughts. They were appreciated.

Thanks for the info. Now for another question. If I was going to change a system over from ext2 to ext3, and wanted to do it remotely, could I just run "man tune2fs" and than amend the /etc/fstab file to show ext2 rather than ext3 and then unmount fstab and remount it??

ext3
I am running RH7.3. Was wondering about changing /etc/fstab from using ext3 to ext2. Can I just amend that file to read ext2 rather than ext3.
