I haven't made a decision yet on which is the best path. Both machines are running named one as a master one as a slave. Will an upgrade to 7.1 involve any major changes to bind? Yes. Bind is more strict now. Before upgrading, you should copy all of the named configuration and zone files to a 7 series box and try to start bind. Check /var/log/messages for errors or warnings and correct them. Make sure your zones actually work from that box. When they do, upgrade your bind servers and copy those files back to the master. I've installed 7.1 but never upgraded a Linux box. Is the upgrade staight forward? Will the installation recognize what is running and install the appropriate packages? When I run up2date on the 6.2 box I'm told I need to upgrade Python. Are you trying to use an up2date from a newer RHL? It's probably close to as much work as a complete upgrade by hand ;) Upgrading using up2date is unsupported and difficult. It's probably far easier to compile apt on your box and use that to upgrade. It's unsupported, too, but at least should be less difficult. Get apt from freshrpms.net. ... does this mean it's possible to upgrade a 6.2 system to 7.3 with apt (or is it apt-get, that I'll need)?

Re: Mozilla Crashes
Terry, why not getting the very latest Mozilla stuff at the Mozilla web site? http://www.mozilla.org I'm right now not on my Linux system, so I can't tell you exactly which package is the best one for a quick install. But we discussed it here some weeks ago: http://info.ccone.at/INFO/Mail-Archives/redhat/Jun-2002/msg00259.html Mozilla has some times a bug or so, and it's probably still not perfect, but in case of problems with a Mozilla.rpm I'd simply try to get the original stuff from mozilla.org ... and in case your machine is faster than the one I was running this browser on ( I have only about 366 MHz there) then Mozilla probably will be a good browser ...

And from what I understand when asking google, it seems to be a problem within mc. My RAM seems to be OK (I checked it with memtest-86). My simple question: Can this memory leak error ruin my files here? Thanks in anticipation.

If I read my logs correctly a Redhat updated ghostscript version

the previous, here, as it seems, non-working

that the RedHat fix was meant to get rid off ...

Did anyone understand what Redhat was saying when they described on

OR, you can listen to the large security community which will pretty much unanimously tell you to run screaming from the monstrosity that is sendmail. Sendmail violates many of the principles of secure programming, and has a long history of exploits: * it accepts data from untrusted sources as a privileged user Isn't it possible to tweak sendmail into a behaviour (by the apppropriate settings) where it does not accept data from untrusted users? * the portion of the program that runs as a privileged user is very large, and thus, hard to validate dito: isn't this just a question of whether a sendmail user is willing to manually change this behaviour? I'm definitely not an MTA expert or so, rather more I'm probably still a Linux newbie with sendmail installed on a RedHat 6.2, IIRC installed there per default (??). But I didn't have unsolvable problems with sendmail until now: it's true that sendmail doesen't always work out of the box as I want it to do, and that it took me a lot of time to understand it. But I knew what I did when I moved away from Windoze: I like the possibility to learn that Linux and the programs running on it are offering ... My impression is 1: People (even experts, not only home users) seem to criticize sendmail sometimes because they more or less want programs without much need to do some work on their own on the settings of these programs. Admin jobs probably have to be done faster than the problems appear, which probably led to a situation like now where Microsoft software still seems to be an option for many ... (not because Microsoft software works fast, but because people *think* it does.) 2: isn't the sheer number of so-called sendmail flaws directly linked to the huge number of people who use the software, thus finding the bad stuff in it? I mean: if every bug on a RedHat Linux system would be seen as similar dangerous or so, as people sometimes seem to gauge the sendmail bugs, then who of us would still use RedHat Linux ... ? Definitely: there are some behaviours of sendmail that I'd like to be changed: but they're nearly nil til now compared to the good stuff that I see in sendmail so far ..

Sendmail: It seems: EMail from local IP is refused
Hi all I have sendmail-8.11.6-1.6.y on a Redhat 6.2 on a single user machine, no LAN here. I want to send my mail from my machine, without the interference from my ISP's mail servers. Problem the last time is, that the addressees' mail servers often seemingly do not recognize and/or accept my local IP as a valid mail server IP, thus rejecting my mail. At least this is my guess ... So how can I still use my local IP's (I get them dynamically assigned by my ISP) for relaying my emails from my machine here *without* using my ISP's mail server? Some sendmail.mc option? Here's some excerpts from Returned Mail messages (please don't get fooled by the contents of these excerpts: only the first of the IP's there turned out to be a spammer* IP when I checked it). For privacy reasons I changed some content in these excerpts. --- Transcript of session follows - ... while talking to xxx-com.yy.someother.com.: MAIL From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 553 5.3.0 EMail from mailserver at 80.138.185.169 is refused.

Re: Sendmail: It seems: EMail from local IP is refused
Hal, Kevin, first: Thanks for your help ... I think I came now nearer to what I want with my sendmail configs .. On Jun 23, 2002, 13:19 (-0400) Kevin MacNeil wrote: It looks like the the receiving mta is doing a dns lookup on localhost.localdomain, which isn't a legal hostname. There are a couple of potential solutions to this common problem. First, try routing your mail through your isp's mailserver by defining it as a smarthost in your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and regenerating your sendmail.cf, i.e.: define(`SMART_HOST',`mail.mindspring.com')dnl ... I think there's some doc on the topic on these 2 URL's: http://www.mail-abuse.org/dul/gateways.htm http://www.hserus.net/sendmail.html (thanks to Hal Burger's mailserver that blocked my mail :) The reason I want to by-pass my ISP's mail server is /var/log/maillog. I want to see in that file (via 'tail -f') that my mail has reached the addressee's mail server, and I did not see this IIRC when I used my ISP's mailserver, because /var/log/maillog stops logging the hand over of my mail at the moment when my mail reaches the mail server that sendmail knows of (not being 100 % sure on this last part .. :) If I tell sendmail to handover my mail to my ISP's mailserver then /var/log/maillog stops logging when it knows that my ISP's server accepted the mail. But from my ISP's machine to the addresse there's still some route to go for my mail: if I understood it correctly: my ISP's machine from this point on still has to transmit my mail to the addressee's mail server, and exactly this last part of the journey is nothing that /var/log/maillog can tell me about. To make it a bit more verbose, this is the way my mail goes in this last example: my machine -- my ISP's mailserver -- the addressee's mail server -- -- addressee (AFAIUI) But /var/log/maillog is logging this last route only until this point: my machine -- my ISP's mailserver The rest of the way to the addressee remains unknown to /maillog and me .. And this is the point where the advantage of 'direct delivery' comes in: this way (together with Hal's idea of generating a /etc/mail/mailertable in case direct delivery is not accepted by the addressee's mailserver) I can see whether the addressee's mail server accepted my message or not: my machine -- the addressee's mail server -- addressee (and sure: if the addressee has an address with an entry in 'mailertable', then /maillog, again, is logging *only* until the mail is handed over to the mail server that is bound (via mailertable) to deliver to the addressee's mail server) And this is the reason why I doubt that setting the SMART_HOST in sendmail.mc does have an advantage, regarding the visible results in /maillog that I want: simply because, at least AFAIUI, with this setting in the sendmail configs sendmail for *all* mail will log the mail route *only* until the mail was handed over to SMART_HOST, without telling me something about the rest of road, contrary to what it does when sendmail is delivering without mailertable becoming part of the game (i.e. in cases when the addressee's mail domain does not have an entry there) Did I overlook something? ... :) Kevin, please forgive me I'm not very verbose on the rest of your mail: just this: I want to rely on things that I can configure here, i.e in sendmail: to start handling dyndns.org without even knowing much on how sendmail works seems making it too complicated for me: after all I'm still a beginner with mail settings etc. ... :) Thanks again, Hal and Kevin: answers like yours time and again keep convincing me that this list from all the mailing-lists that I know is surely one of the best places to ask for help ...

pam_xauth[1816]: do_file: could not create dir ...
Hi all, First: My apologies, if the following is off topic in a way .. I'm running Redhat 6.2 here. My basic question is whether I was hacked or not. I think that not, but I'd like to be sure .. The details: There was a process running on my machine where I do not know exactly whether it was started from an outside machine (my single user machine I'm talking about was connected to the Internet at this time) or whether this process was started locally by myself. I have this log entry in /var/log/secure that I try to understand since some hours, to not so much avail 'til now: - Jun 4 21:38:59 [HOSTNAME] pam_xauth[1816]: do_file: could not create dir /var/spool/news/.xauth Jun 4 21:38:59 [HOSTNAME] pam_xauth[1816]: do_file: could not create dir /var/spool/news/.xauth So who or what tried to create /var/spool/news/.xauth at this time? ^^ other logs from the same time: /var/log/messages: --- Jun 4 21:38:03 [HOSTNAME] anacron[1649]: Updated timestamp for job `cron.daily' to 2002-06-04 Jun 4 21:38:59 [HOSTNAME] PAM_pwdb[1816]: (su) session opened for user news by root(uid=0) Jun 4 21:38:59 [HOSTNAME] PAM_pwdb[1816]: (su) session closed for user news I *think* , that I had run at this time run-parts /etc/cron.daily manually, in a su - root session in an xterm in a user's X .. but I'm not sure on this but at any rate: part of /etc/cron.daily is slrnpull-expire; it reads as this: - umask 022 if [ -d /var/spool/slrnpull ]; then exec su news -c 'slrnpull --expire' fi -- and yes, there are folders and files in /var/spool/slrnpull ... My guess is, that pam_xauth with its error-message was involved simply for the fact that run-parts /etc/cron.daily was not started by crontab, but manually by local (su'ed) root in a user's xterm ...

Re: mozilla rc3 installation
Hidong sorry for this rather late answer ... As David was already writing in this thread (if I understood him correctly :) you don't need an rpm for Mozilla to install it.

Following is a part of the install notes on http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.0/ --- 1. Create a directory named mozilla1.0.RC3 (mkdir mozilla1.0.RC3) and change to that directory (cd mozilla1.0.RC3 ). 2. Click the link to download the non-installer mozilla*.tar.gz file into the mozilla1.0.RC3 directory. 3. Change to the mozilla directory (cd mozilla1.0.RC3 ) and decompress the file with the following command: gunzip -dc moz*.tar.gz | tar -xvf [ ... or as I did, if I read my bash_history correctly: tar zxvf moz*.tar.gz --W.P. ] - (This creates a mozilla subdirectory under your mozilla1.0.RC3 directory.) 4. Change to the mozilla directory (cd mozilla). 5. Run Mozilla with the ./mozilla run script. -- The point is that this new release, tho ,as it seems to me, having been built mainly for i686 machines, even on my relatively slow i585 machine is running faster than the previous release candidate, which was a 1.0rc1 (?), IIRC ... and this last point is definitely a good reason for me to install a new version, as the previous release I had was slower than the new one is ... So if you like Mozilla, I'd really try the very latest release .. :) The only drawback for this install method seems to me, that I still do not know how to fulfill the rule that the mozilla folks tell in one of their README files from another source: For all platforms, install into a clean (new) directory. Installing on top of previously released builds may cause problems. But by following this last rule I still don't see a possibility how future Mozilla installs (i.e. installed by the method from above) atomatically could read my old Mozilla bookmarks, preferences files etc if I install these future Mozillas into a fresh directory ... I'll wait and see (and save my current Mozilla preferences files for future releases :) But: at least this last install (1.0rc3) read my old user .mozilla files from the previous rpm install Good luck :) Regards Wolfgang [ ... ] Hidong ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- New Key on: http://home.t-online.de/home/520050060325-0001/ Key fingerprint = 40CD 52DF A5AC 66A3 C0F4 F54D 0B0B 9ED1 860A 9B64 http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/ -- END TRANSMISSION -- ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Hi Michael, Thanks a lot for your help. Two constructs: /dev/null 21 21 /dev/null I'm not sure whether I understood you: /dev/null 21: #2 in this construct will be written to the same place that 1 is written to: /dev/null 21 /dev/null: the result of the construct seems to be the same for me as in the first case (both #2 and 1 being deleted), but in this case, after the command has written its output to #2, the latter (#2) will be written to 1 *and* thus will be deleting 1 before it (i.e. #2) will be sent to /dev/null ... I understand now: the result of both constructs is the *same*, but you seem to be disagreeing: That [21 /dev/null] probably won't do what you want and certainly does NOT do what's above [i.e. /dev/null 21, and I didn't understand the rest of your sentence - important? - :] (unless stdout was aleady directed to /dev/null).

Perhaps my notes on the topic on

might be of some help ...
The other problem is that consolefontchars does/can change the number
of
rows on the screen, but I cannot get it to change the number of
columns.
Anyone know how to do this?
... not being sure if I understand you: with the 'numbers of columns'
you talk about the possible numbers of characters per line, right? ...
If yes: I don't know whether this sort of font change is possible, and
whether it makes sense, after all: such a change might *possibly*
render the fonts nearly unreadable, but that's just my guess ...
Good luck!

Re: Is RedHat droping the free subscriptors?
1. Redhat Inc. is a company living on the cash they make, i.e. without the profits Redhat probably will not survive. This is capitalism, which means (more or less): no money, no living. We're living in a world where thousands of children are dying daily from hunger, all this in a situation, where we have the technical resources to feed every single human being on this planet -- these children simply do not have the money to pay for their life. If we agree with capitalism we should not wonder about the disgusting rules it is providing. 2. Free Linux does not mean the same as free bear: one has the right to make money with Linux IIRC. 3. I'm surely not one of the most strongest followers of Redhat -- there are things I do not like at all at this company. But we might want let the truth stay true: Redhat is now at version 7.2 - you can still download it for free: but according to http://www.linuxiso.org/suse.html you can't do the same with Suse Linux: SuSE has chosen to not make freely available an installable i386/Intel version of their Linux distribution. They do, however, make an installable version available for the Sparc architecture, meaning Suncomputers. The i386 version is a demo, uninstallable, evaluation Linux OS. And the differences go even further: To find patches, updates, and bugfixes for SuSE Linux you can have these only back til version 6.4 for Suse for i386: http://www.suse.com/us/support/download/updates/index.html and Suse's actual version at the moment seems 7.3 Redhat is providing errata back til version 4.0 (!) https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/ And it even does not stop there: you can still have at least the Redhat *packages* for a probably complete system back til version 4.2: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/4.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ and the ISO's at least back til version 5.2: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/5.2/en/iso/i386/ all this, if I understand correctly, for free.

Hi Wolfgang,
You have a fairly recent version of rpm installed, and I'm wondering
if
it isn't perhaps looking in the wrong place for the redhat rpmdb.
The error your getting is the same on reported if rpmdb-redhat isn't
installed. I'm guessing that is because rpm can't find the installed
database,
I don't think so, see below :)
or can't read it, if found.
.. perhaps, yes.
At least in the version I have here, the --redhatprovides flag tells
rpm
to look at the database in
/usr/lib/rpmdb/%{_arch}-%{_vendor}-%{_os}/redhat
I think the problem may be with what's contained in that directory.
I don't know if rebuilding that database will fix it or not, but here
is
what looks to be the problem:
On my machine, I have:
$ rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.0.3-1.03
... here: rpm-4.0.2-6x
$ rpm -q rpmdb-redhat
rpmdb-redhat-7.1-0.20010408
... here: rpmdb-redhat-6.2-0.2308
rpmdb-redhat provides the following files:
$ rpm -ql rpmdb-powertools
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/powertools
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/powertools/Basenames
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/powertools/Conflictname
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/powertools/Group
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/powertools/Name
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/powertools/Packages
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/powertools/Providename
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/powertools/Requirename
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/powertools/Triggername
Looking at the package from 6.2:
$ rpm -qlp rpmdb-redhat-6.2-0.2308.i386.rpm
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/conflictsindex.rpm
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/fileindex.rpm
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/groupindex.rpm
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/nameindex.rpm
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/packages.rpm
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/providesindex.rpm
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/requiredby.rpm
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/triggerindex.rpm
The names of the database files are different. Also, in the version I
have here, I don't see that it is looking at the rpmdb-powertools
database.
... yep, you remember the command I posted:
$ rpm -q -vv --redhatprovides libcrypto.so.0
D: opening db index
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Packages rdonly mode=0x0
D: closed db index
/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory
(2)
so the command *is* looking for the correct path( ...doesn't it?):
indeed I have here (on RedHat 6.2):
$ ls /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/
conflictsindex.rpm groupindex.rpm packages.rpm requiredby.rpm
fileindex.rpm nameindex.rpm providesindex.rpm triggerindex.rpm
and this is the mode these files have:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/
total 15364
-rw-r--r--1 root root16384 Mar 8 2000
conflictsindex.rpm
-rw-r--r--1 root root 2609152 Mar 8 2000 fileindex.rpm

... same mode on your 7.1 files?
and I just checked '/usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-4.0.2': it also says (without
understanding this part until the last bit of information it gives) in
one part:
