Mounting USB Iomega ZIP250

2002-12-13 Thread achana
Hi!
I have been working with the USB drive on Redhat 7.1 (2.4.2-2) for a
year and I am happy with it until this morning.
I disconnected it and used it on a laptop (W98). In the meantime the
Linux box was rebooted.
When I plugged the USB Iomega into linux again, and tried mounting it
with :
# mount -t -vfat /dev/sdc4 /mnt/zip250 
it gave me a not valid block device error message.
I then looked at fstab and found that after the reboot without the USB
drive, the entry was gone !?!  I replaced the line , but got the same
error message. 
Can anyone help , shed light ?

Hi again.
Please bear in mind the ZIP worked well for a year until I unplugged it,
the box got rebooted and I plugged it back in, all in the same Friday
13th morning.
# dmesg has this to say ( which is a grave concern because I didn't
specifically nominate IRQ11 anywhere , so wherefor the IRQ conflict ? )

Mounting Iomega Zip250 - not supported ???

2002-12-13 Thread achana
Hi.
Further to my saga of (re) mounting an iomega zip250 that I have been
using, I searched Iomega site, and the site docu says Iomega does not
support Linux for the zip250.
Unless I have been hallucinating with my backups for a year or there is
something fishy here...

why can't I shutdown Linux ?

2002-10-18 Thread achana
Hi all.
My Oracle/RH7.1 server has recently developed two unusual quirks.
(1) It cannot shutdown and hangs at Umounting file systems with
following error message shutdown : warning : cannot open
/var/run/shutdown.pid This is a new one for me.
There is no shutdown.pid in this directory ?!?
(2) It seems that I have to log on twice at the spalsh screen to log on
(I installed gnome, I shouldn't have on a server) . I think sometime
back, somebody had a similar problem.
(3) And just now, on reboot, it cannot reach the other machines ?!? Hmmm
network problems, but it has been running nicely for weeks without  a
reboot : eth0 up, default route okay, can't ping , womder why.

Re: why can't I shutdown Linux ?

2002-10-18 Thread achana
I put in a known functional network card, same RTL chip.
Now everything works.
I need only log in once rather than twice.
But shut-down still hangs at Umounting file system, I wonder whether
this has anything to do with disabling the hda on the ASUS motherboard
because I use SCSI ?
Nothing that happened this morning makes much sense to me.
First, the dead nic did not complain. The last time a nic died on me, it
flooded dmesg.
Second, what has a nic got to do with logging in twice (or once) on
Gnome ?
Although the problem is resolved, I remain dissatisfied because I do not
see the connections between the symptoms and the dead nic and the only
reason I changed the nic is because I cannot reach it.

 Toralf,
 
 Manual switch boxes are ALWAYS very unreliable. While switching, you're
 physycally breaking contact with all pins and wiring. It's exactly like
 pulling all the plugs out the back of one computer and plugging them into
 another without switching off the PCs. Some admittedly do have cross-wiring
 inside to hold the 5 volt rails, but the small surges that are generated
 can't be good.
 
 People have been trying to convince me for a while that this is an OK
 thing to do but I strongly disagree. The amount of PCs that come over the
 floor here with PS/2 ports broken is too many. In all cases the customer
 unplugs or plugs in connectors with the PC running, or uses a manual switch
 box.
 
 Seriously - if you want to do this and have your PCs live to tell the
 tail - spend the bucks and get a proper KVM. (the ones with the circuitry
 inside them).
 
 Regards,

Yes you have to tell each machine the gateway and default route.
If U R NAT-ting over a DSL, you ISP will have assigned a stsitc IP
address to your DSL and it would be NAT-ted to an internal ip address,
probably 192,169.1.1 or something like that.
U might like to specify DHCP or static ip internally - they work.

Re: Is this a virus : /tmp/orbit-blabla

2002-09-27 Thread achana

It is indeed CORBA .
Since I have Apache collaborating with Tomcat , which talks with a DB
backend, I would not uninstall anything til I am sure it is spurious.
I have been trying to decide between CORBA and RMI and haven't made the
conscious decision. So I guess default-mode took over.

  Gordon, while you're right that it's PROBABLY
  ORBit (an Open Source CORBA implementation),
  it seems to me whenever someone asks that question
  the answer can NEVER be No.  It's always got
  to be YES!, Possibly or Probably not, since
  most root kits are going to attempt to install
  some service or device which masquerades as an
  innocuous, or even required, program.  Without
  looking directly at the box, without (for
  example) tripwire information, without well,
  you get the point.  Without all that stuff,
  we can hazard a guess, but only Arthur can tell
  for sure.
 
  In this case, though, this IS typical behavior
  of ORBit; not everyone uses CORBA based programs,
  so they don't necessarily have these files, but
  once you start using CORBA based programs, ORBit
  spits out lots of stuff like Arthur described.
  He might be able to check RPM to see what he has
  installed which required ORBit, and see if he's
  using those programs.  In this case, perhaps
  he should do an
 
  rpm -q ORBit | xargs rpm -q --whatrequires
 
  to see what he might be running that is doing this?

Re: Is this a virus : /tmp/orbit-blabla

Hi All !
rpm -q --whatrequires tells me that it is needed by
gnome-libs-devel-1.2.8-11.
This is unusual in-as-much that I have never noticed them before ; that
I am not doing any development work with GNOME ; and only recently have
I been weighing up the pros-n-cons of CORBA vs RMI ( maybe it is because
of this that I notice the ORBit-files ) ???

If you have got Apache collaborating with Tomcat and the servlets talk

 Thompson's PDP-7 assembler outdid even DEC's in simplicity; it evaluated

 no loader or link editor: the entire source of a program was presented
 to the assembler, and the output file­with a fixed name­that emerged was
 directly executable. (This name, a.out, explains a bit of Unix
 etymology; it is the output of the assembler. Even after the system
 gained a linker and a means of specifying another name explicitly, it
 was retained as the default executable result of a compilation.)

 Hello Everyone,
 
  I'm trying to install netgear's ethernet card on
 RH6.0, and can't get it to work.  I followed all the
 instructions they gave me, such as copying the driver
 *.o file into /lib/modules/[kernel-version]/net/, and
 modprobing it, insmod-ing it, and setting it up in
 linuxconf, but it still doesn't work.  I can ping to
 my own NIC, but cannot ping to the other computers.
 When i check lsmod, it lists my nic eth0 as
 unused.  What does that mean? Is that why my NIC
 isn't workin? because its unused??
 
 Thanks

A Problem after upgrading to Apache 2.0.40

2002-09-19 Thread achana

Hi All.
RH7.1 has got Apache 1.3.16 - an old version with security problems
(those still on 1.3.16 should check it out ).
I installed the latest Apache 2.0.40 (STABLE)
Problem is : now I only get a directory listing rather than a web page
when I come in with a browser using the ip-addr.
httpd.conf has the same DocumentRoot as the de-installed 1.3.16
Question : how to I get Apache to serve up a web page instead of the
directory list ???

Well, if I can set DocumentRoot to /var/www/html then I wouldn't expect
-e to remove index since that's part of the user's realm. That's
academic anyway

  However, if u r on an old 1.3.16 u should upgrade.
 
 Red Hat's packages have been patched against the security problems you
 note.  There's no reason for most people to upgrade to apache2 yet.

It is duly noted that RH is often one step ahead of the rest...

Also, my standard out-of-the-box RH7.1 kernel 1.4.2 with apache-1.3.19,
well it didn't have an APACHE_HOME as such, things laid out different.
Utilities like apachectl seems to be missing altogether.
In the world according to Apache, I am supposed to be able to do this

 Can't you set this by adding a line to /etc/sysconfig/network:

 I seem to recalll that that method is limited to certain kernel versions

Re: Java problems on Redhat 7.2

2002-08-01 Thread achana

snip
Don't recall  seeing you at the forum .

 -How does the JRE know how to include JAR files that are in the
 /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_03/jre/lib/ext directory?

Here is a small excerpt from my setup and it may work for you
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01
CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/javaplugin.jar:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/tools.jar

export JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH

If it doesn't work, please post your /etc/profile to this forum as well as
info about your package.
N.B. do not forget the .: (dot colon) for CLASSPATH.

 I ask because I have a third party app and they vendor says just stick
 these jars in the /lib/ext directory and it will find them. Well, mine
 doesn't. I'm running java from /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_03/jre/bin.

That's where I put my  .jar

Good luck,.

If your current setup is working, you probably have a good CLASSPATH and

The recommended installation path is always the correct one.

 Is there any need for specifying the location of this class file while
 deploying this method.So please specify the details.

*  Have you specified a package  when coding your servlet ? If so,
you must have them in a sub-directory of CATALINA_HOME .

 I'm not sure what you mean by deploying a java method.  Tomcat will serve up
 Servlets and JSP pages.  It is not an EJB/CORBA server where you would expose
 methods, although you could use something like Axis to expose methods via
 SOAP.

Slightly off the subject :  if you need to build a servlet-to-applet
communication between container and web-server, then I think the remote
invocation via RMI is preferred over CORBA.

U can also get a lot of info from apache.org

Come to think of it, does it matter where u install it as long as there is a

/usr and /usr/local needs to be fairly big if u intent to use it as an

Go into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and overwrite the default directory , you
can put it anywhere you want.
You ar correct in pointing out that this is the default and normal path
though...
While u r at it, might as well check whether u want the default log location.

 You can make /opt a symlink to /usr/local/opt. That will solve the
 immediate problem, and prevent something similar from happening later.

   mkdir /usr/local/opt
   ln -s /usr/local/opt /opt

 As you get familiar with Linux, you will get your own ideas about how your
 partitions should be laid out. I would have wiped that machine and setup
 my own partitions, but then I've been doing this for years.

 Here are some things you might consider for your next Linux box:

  - Put /usr/local on it's own partition. Software that you compile locally
(install from tarballs) often puts everything it needs under
/usr/local. I also tend to put the scripts and such that I create to
help run the machine in /usr/local/[bin|sbin]. With all of this on a
separate partition, I can install the latest version of my distro, tell
the installer to leave /home and /usr/local alone, and most of my
customizations remain in place. I just have to worry about the config
stuff in /etc.

  - Put Apache's DocumentRoot in /home/httpd. This stuff will not change if
Apache is upgraded, and needs to be preserved between OS upgrades. Red
Hat used to do this, but apparently it's not LSB compliant. Fine, but I
like to simplify my sysadmin tasks, so I put DocumentRoot on a
partition that I kow will be preserved between upgrades and/or
reinstalls.

  - Make /opt a symlink to /usr/local/opt.

  - Adjust partition sizes for /home and /usr to reflect use as either a
file server (big /home) or a database or email server (big /var).

 I tend to restrict /usr to 4GB because I don't generally install that
 much software on a server. I allow more space for data files (/home,
 /var).

 In any case, welcome to Linux.

 Tony

Re: Unable to telnet into my RedHat 7.1 box

 Hello all,

 I have just setup my RedHat 7.1 box here at work, and the installation went
 without a hitch. I then rebooted and played around with it to make sure that
 the network is brought up, and I can telnet and ftp out. However, I have
 tried to telnet and ftp IN to my box, and it keeps saying telnet: Unable to
 connect to remote host: Connection refused. How do I set it up so that I
 can telnet, ftp, etc. INTO the box? Thanks for any help.

  They are probably down use chkconfig --list without the quotes.
  Will show you all the services which are either up or down for all levels.
  I don't recommend leaving telnet up if u r on the net.

 But if i copy and paste anything within the same application it works.

 Select/highlight the text then go the to application where you want to

 by clicking both buttons at the same time.

 This smells of a networking problem.  Make sure your IP address and
 hostname are in /etc/hosts, and that there are no typos there.  (Post it
 if you'd like assistance with that.)  Ensure that 'localhost', your
 hostname, and your hostname.domain (if you've assigned one) all resolve.

For comparison : I have RH7.1 on PIII/800MHz with Ora9i and scsi. The boot time
is less than the quoted 2 minutes. The longest process was firing up the ora
background processes.
Local network : NIC's and a switch, no bridges/routers etc. I could SQLNet /
telnet into it from W98 on local network, jdbc works find, delivering info from
db to W98 laptop...
I do not think the problem is with RH.

 The case is not that I want screaming fast desktop, but I feel I want at
 least something that is as fast as ms-winXP. At the moment RedHat is not
 coming close to that. Booting still takes minutes and even opening
 applications like terminal or mozilla takes nearly 1 minute.

 While booting the system starts sendmail most of the time... any clues
 how to get rid of that problem ?

Excessive disk activities...

2002-06-10 Thread achana

Hi !

H/W  : Adaptec SCSI Seagate disks with swap = 2x512k memory .
S/W   : RedHat7.1 / Oracle 9i Standard / j2sdk1.4.0 .

Once or twice a day, I notice excessive disk activities, really
thrashing the disks, as if memory is being dumped into swap.
It happens at night too, when there is practically no work acitivities.
There is a comstant , very low level of disk activity clicking away,
regardless of whether there is any work going on .

Has anyone noticed that and is it a problem ?

Kind Regards,
Arthur Chan

Re: reboot rc6.d KNNfiles

Hi,




I'm
on RedHat 7.2 kernel 2.4.9-34



I
have successfully added SNNfiles in the rc2.d, rc3.d and rc5.d directories
that are linked to my script file in the init.d directory and are called
on startup. However I can't not get any of my KNNfiles to be executed on
shutdown/reboot. I have added them to the rc0.d, rc1.d and rc6.d directories
and once again linked them to my script file in init.d directory.
I can start/stop OK with a "service myservice start" or "service myservice
stop". The only way I have been able to get my KNNfile to be executed on
a reboot is to rename it to an existing file name in the rc6.d with a different
sequence number, "K25sendmail" for example. It would appear that if I name
it after any other name of existing K files in the rc6.d directory it gets
called, but if I call it anything else it doesn't. The documentation does
not mention having to register files to e called on shutdown.



What
have I not done correctly?



Thanks,

Peter

Hi !
Try coding a chkconfig --level , to whatever level u boot to, see if
