A quick look at the /usr/lib/mc/extfs/rpm script clearly shows that a working rpm is necessary for mc to install or upgrade a .rpm archieve. I did a quick install of Xrally, from the .rpm, file, using the mc 'install' script. Then: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root]# rpm -q xrally xrally-1.0.pre1-1 I'm convinced ;) Thanks again.

My version of Midnight Commander (mc-4.5.51) makes no mention of needing a working rpm in the documentation (no /usr/share/mc/extfs/rpm file.) My documentation does say that there is an older 'text version' and a newer 'Gnome-version' though. Mine doesn't need X11; I use it from console all the time to look into .rpms and tar'ed or gzip'ed files. # rpm -q -R mc does show that mc requires rpmlib. Is it possible have an intact rpmlib and a broken rpm? Thanks for the input.

I see where mc displays the files inside a .rpm (including CONTENTS.cpio), and also gives an "install" and an "upgrade" executable. You just highlight the RPM file in Midnight Commander and . Perhaps you can get the 'proper' glibc RPM to the remote stystem and then fix it in that manner. You could make a "test" install of some other .rpm, perhaps a game, just to see how it works.

If mplayer is using the Xv extension, then probably not, since that allows the hardware to draw directly to the screen. You can change the video driver mplayer is using from Xv to X11. This will be slow but uses a normal X11 bitmap instead of the hardware accelerated playback. I believe the mplayer defaults to -vo xv. The option you want is: -vo x11 With this you can take a normal screenshot using import, or whatever. Works well with mplayer and ksnapshot - under KDE's Graphics menu.

The only advice I can give is to use the 'auto' button first. This allows any changes you select to happen in 'real-time' ( are automatically applied.)

( Make sure that both vfat and msdos are listed in /etc/filesystems.) Also, I'm sure you've encountered floppies formatted on one Windows / MSDOS system that couldn't be read on another Windows / MSDOS machine. Some floppy drives are just a bit out of alignment with others. You can get around this by formatting the floppy on the same machine that you intend to use to make the copy. In Linux you can use the 'mkdosfs' command, or a utility such as Kfloppy to make an msdos floppy.

The 'mount' command doesn't automatically recognize vfat or msdos filesytems, but does ext2; see: man mount But, if you have an /etc/filesystems file, 'mount' will read the filesystem types listed from there and "try" to correctly decipher if what you're trying to mount is one of those.

That said, I would check if the "RedHat User Management" page comes up even if IE is "offline" ; not connected to the Web. Try to use IE to view an .html document while NOT connected to your ISP. If it works normally, call your ISP, as they may be using RedHat there, and you are somehow getting one of their server's pages. If, on the other hand, you get the RedHat page, even when offline, IE has probably been corrupted somehow. If your ISP gave you some software to install in order to connect with their service, it may be related to that. Check with them. If you are interested in a more secure OS, install RedHat, and stay subscribed.

Run the RedHat Printer Tool on the workstation and set it up to print to the remote server to which the printer is attached. Remember to restart lpd after making changes to the /etc/printcap file. The machine controlling the printer should list the hosts permitted to access the printer in the /etc/hosts.lpd file. So, the server's /etc/hosts.lpd should have an entry for your workstation. Make sure that lpd is running on BOTH machines as a service. Note that there is still a spool directory on the local machine man aged by lpd. If the remote machine is busy or offline, print jobs from the local machine wait in the spool area until they can be sent. Ensure that there is no firewall blocking TCP /port 515 between the two machines.

The 'Start' button is part of the Kpanel. By default, it is placed at the bottom. This should move it along the right side of the Desktop, and make to available to the mouse at the next session.

My Adaptec SCSI controller expects the Primary master IDE device to
be the "boot" drive. Without a Primary IDE device connected, the SCSI
drive becomes the "boot."
As your cdrom is hda, it is the master on the Primary IDE
controller. Your machine may be trying to "boot" from the cdrom. Move
the cdrom to the Secondary IDE controller, and see if that helps.

If you have applied any Errata Updates for 7.3, the glibc-common rpm package from the cd may no longer be exactly compatible with your existing glibc package.

Is this a known problem somewhere? The file /etc/securetty is used as a list of terminals from which root is allowed to log in. It is possible that some of the tty? entries are missing or corrupted. You can edit this file with an editor. Here is mine from a RH 7.0 machine: ]# cat /etc/securetty vc/1 vc/2 vc/3 vc/4 vc/5 vc/6 vc/7 vc/8 vc/9 vc/10 vc/11 tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6 tty7 tty8 tty9 tty10 tty11 Tom -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I haven't a clue, but did find this on a Google search ("busy
innodes after unmount" +clearcase).
Mind the linewrap:
http://www.rational.com/techsupport/clearcase/tech/patchlink/new/clearcase/4.1j/clearcase_p4.1j-10/clearcase_p4.1j-10.sun5.readme
There is mention of a "bugfix" for Clearcase in the above .readme:
---snip-->
Bug CMBU00052877 Description
%severity Sv2
%bug_desc_begin
Corrects a defect that could cause the MVFS to hang after a cleartool
umount
command. Kernel error messages associated with this hang include the
text
"VFS: Busy inodes after unmount."

Note that there is still a spool directory on the local machine man aged by lpd. If the remote machine is busy or offline, print jobs from the local machine wait in the spool area until they can be sent. When lpr is executed on the local machine, it first copies the specified file to a certain directory (the spool directory) where the file remains until lpd prints it. Once lpd is told that there is a file to print, it will spawn a copy of itself (what programmers call forking). This copy of lpd will print your file while the original lpd waits for more requests. This allows for multiple jobs to be queued at once.

So, your old RedHat machine's /etc/hosts.lpd should have an entry for your 7.3 machine. Also, make sure that lpd is running as a service on the machine with the printer: service lpd start (or, restart) If you do: netstat -pan you should see lpd "listening" on port 515. And, make sure that your firewall isn't blocking port 515. This all assumes that the networking between the two linux boxes is properly configured; you can ping one machine from the other.

In the RedHat menu: =>System=>Control Panel=>Printer Configuration. Then highlight your printer, and select 'edit', then 'filter',and 'Send EOF." Remember to restart lpd, or select the 'lpd button' below the Printool's main window menu. You can run another printer test from the same window. Hopefully, that will make the printer behave.

A search on Google Groups, ("SMP motherboard not detected" +compaq)
came up with links that all seem to refer to a setting in the Compaq
bios for OS. If set to UnixWare, it seems to work properly.
You might give that a shot.

You can always use 'John.Smith" or "John_Smith." My MS Windows machines (Win 3.11 and Win98) don't seem to care about case. In fact, the Win3.11 machine will accept a "blank" password as well as a proper one. The usernames and passwords in Win2000 and Samba's 'valid users' and the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file have to be the same. The linux password and the samba do not have to be the same. So, you can can have a regular root (user) password, and a Samba root ( samba user) password that are different. But, then if the user logs in on Win2000 ( where there is a valid user named 'root') as 'root', the login password has to match the linux /etc/samba/smbpasswd entry. Otherwise, the user 'root' on the Win2000 machine can't mount shares. The problem I was having, was that all my user names and password, in linux, Samba,and in Win98, were identical. But only 'root' could map drives from the Win98 machine. It turned out that root's UID=0 in both the normal /etc/passwd and in Samba's /etc/samba/smbpasswd. But my other users UID's did not all match. Editing the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file to make the UIDs the same fixed the problem.

Here is an example entry from my /etc/fstab: /dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,nosuid,owner,ro 0 0 So, if my cdrom is /dev/hdc, and there is an entry in /dev for cdrom which symlinks to /dev/hdc, AND the filesystem type (iso9660) is specified in /etc/fstab, AND the mountpoint (/mnt/cdrom) exists, just a 'mount /dev/cdrom' will work. If the filesytem type ( or the cdrom line itself) is missing from /etc/fstab, you would get your error message. In that case, you would have to give 'mount' that detailed information: mount /dev/hdc -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom See 'man mount' and 'man fstab' for more.

I figured that the masquerading section of the article would jog a

Does sendmail then re-masquerade the incoming mail for user@domain2
so the Delivery Agent can get it to the proper mailbox? Or, do you
have to write rules for the MDA? I'm working on sendmail null

You can add any parameters there, but if your kernel has serial support, it may be as simple as adding serial=0, 9600n8 (or an equivilent line) to the bootdisk /etc/lilo.conf. Of course you should read the how-to, as there are issues with some serial busses, cables, modems, etc. Check out the above link..

I would check the /etc/passwd file for changes; user with uid 0
and the file timestamp. Remember, the /var/log/messages can be altered
('by ' deleted.)
You might also 'grep' through the /var/log/messages, .1, .2,.3,.4
and /var/log/secure, etc., for pam_unix entries of a similar nature.

If you wish to enlarge a filesystem, you must first make sure you can expand the size of the underlying partition first. This can be done using fdisk(8) by deleting the partition and recreating it with a larger size. When recreating the partition, make sure you create it with the same starting disk cylinder as before! Other wise, the resize operation will certainly not work, and you may lose your entire filesystem. If you wish to shrink the an ext2 partition, first use resize2fs to shrink the size of filesystem. Then you may use fdisk(8) to shrink the size of the partition. When shrinking the size of the partition, make sure you do not make it smaller than the new size of the ext2 filesystem! " You need a utility such as parted to resize partitions. It is found on the 2nd cd in RH 7.0.

The last two fields consist each of an integer value. The first one is used by the dump command to determine if a filesystem needs to be dumped, backing up the filesystem. The last field is used by fsck to see if the filesystem should be checked at reboot and in what order. If the last field has a value of 1, it indicates a boot partition, and 2 indicates other partitions. A 0 value means fsck need not check that filesystem. Try changing the last two fields to 0 0 for the two entries, and see how that works.

PROTO=6 means TCP, and ppp0 is the interface. Ipchains rule #1 blocked the attempted connection with DENY. A list of port numbers shows that 2659 is SN-query, and 6667 is IRCU. So, someone from 202.72.168.81 was scanning your machine looking for an IRC server. You can further deny all services from 202.72.168.81 in /etc/host.deny, if you feel you must. See 'man hosts.deny.'

To check do: chkconfig --list or setup -> System Services If sound is running, you can turn it off for the runlevels you use: chkconfig --level 35 sound off would turn off sound for runlevels 3 and 5. See 'man chkconfig.' If sound isn't running as a service, you might try: alias sound-slot-0 null alias sound-service-0-0 null in /etc/modules.conf rather than 'off'. Maybe if modprobe succeeds, it will quit. See 'man modules.conf. Short of a compile with N for the whole sound section, one of the above might work.

Also, look at the /etc/fthosts, /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/host.allow files. On my RH 7 machine, the /etc/hosts.deny file says: ALL:ALL which means that all services are denied to all machines...except for those specifically listed in /etc/hosts.allow. Make sure that the XP machine has an entry in /etc/hosts, /etc/ftphosts and /etc/hosts.allow. Add 'in.ftpd' (the service) to /etc/hosts.allow along with the name of the machine allowed to use ftp. The 'man' pages are your friends: man ftphosts man hosts.allow man hosts.deny And, remember, root is denied ftp access by default. You need to do it as a valid user. I am unfamiliar with XP, but Win98 also has a similar 'hosts' file which needs an entry in it for the Linux machine. Lastly, BEFORE you hook up FTP services to (or through) the outside world, be aware that you need to have some strict security implemented. If the XP machine and Linux machine are on the same private LAN, or just hooked together, you can 'play' with the setups.

I may well be the source of your problems. http://www.sms.com/Adaptec/Install_Guides/aha1540cp_ig.pdf My 1542CF doesn't have PnP as a 'feature.'

"It appears that some 1540's and 1542's are a bit hosed by the Buslogic probe. You will usually get an error referring to ``DMA'' in the Adaptec probe when this happens. To fix it, you need to enter command line parameters as follows: boot: linux aha154x=0x340 buslogic=0x334 This is assuming, of course, that the base address of your Adaptec is 0x340. If not, put your address in there instead. This will force the buslogic to only probe an address where your Adaptec is not." It seems that the kernel scans for a Buslogic card first and then the Adaptec, which can confuse some 1542's. It could be that you have one of these.

I just 'dragged' it to the Desktop, and selected 'move' from the popup that KDE gives you. Restart KDE and the "automounting" is gone. Removing the 'Autorun' entry in $HOME/Destktop/Autostart/ would probably do the same thing.
