Srinivas: You've got two related but different issues here. The first is how do control the serial port from a C or C++ program, the second is how to control the modem. The first is pretty much like any Unix system. There is a HOWTO for serial programming on Linux, I suggest you look at the HOWTO documents on your distribution, or check out the LDP (Linux Documentation Project) for their HOWTO pages. Regarding programming the modem, you need to know its commandset and the responses it sends, so you can (having written the lower-layer code to handle the serial port) then send it the desired commands and parse its responses for correctness. Unfortunately, every modem, even those that proclaim "Hayes Compatible" has its own slightly incompatible set of commands, so you need the correct documentation for the exact modem you have, or the one you intend as your program's target.

Well, first thing is figure out which serial port it's connected to. if it's on (what windoze calls) COM1, that's /dev/ttyS0 for Linux. Knowing that, do this: ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem and of course if it's COM2, do this instead: ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem having done that, you should be able to go click on the internet setup button and follow the directions, using /dev/modem as the serial port. > > Andre--- -- Fred Smith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - The Lord detests the way of the wicked but he loves those who pursue righteousness. - Proverbs 15:9 (niv) - pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

By reading "between the lines" here, I guess that you mean your linux box is also the firewall/router in your network, and it has a directly- connected internet connection of some sort. If that's the case, I'd think you probably DID open it to the world. I'm not guru on linux firewall configuration so I can't tell you how to fix that (I'm sure there is a way), but... I'd suggest a safer and perhaps simpler solution would be to put in a dedicated firewall in front of your linux box, so the linux box doesn't have to be as hardened against the outside world. If you have an old junk PC lying around (I'm using a Pentium-class machine, an AMD K5-pr100) w/ 64MB RAM, myself. I'm using Smoothwall, but there are other choices, such as "ip cop". These are small Linux- based systems that are designed to do nothing but serve as a firewall. they run on extra programs that could compromise security. > > >-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 137:139 -j ACCEPT > >-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 137:139 -j ACCEPT > -- Fred Smith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. - Proverbs 15:3 (niv) - pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Not if you're printing FROM Unix/linux TO unix/linux. You want a Unix/lpd printer. Perhaps you need to check the file /etc/lpd.perms, which controls which lpd services are available and to whom. near the bottom (at least of mine, on RH7.2, using lprng--your mileage WILL vary if you're using CUPS) is this: # allow local job submissions only #REJECT SERVICE=X NOT SERVER The default setting is to have the second of those two lines NOT commented, which prevents remote lpd systems from accessing your lpd subsystem. The change shown here will let ANY remote lpd client talk to your lpd server, which may or may not be what you want. I suggest you read the (voluminous) commentary in /etc/lpd.perms to see how to restrict it to only the subset of clients to which you wish to actually serve printing.

Enterprise WS
There doesn't seem to be a list for WS 2.1 (if I'm wrong, plase accept my apologies up-front...) so I'll ask here. I'm trying to install oracle 8.1.7 (client only) on a WS 2.1 box. The installation actually went fairly painlessly, using the same procedures that are known to work on RH 7.1/7.2. However, once installed, I cannot get either netasst or netca to work. Found a posting in one of the oracle fora at oracle.com that said for AS 2.1 to download blackdown 1.1.8 and install it. That works, sort of, in that both utilities will not start up and sort of run, but certain critical things still don't work. Like, in netasst, the place where I choose connection type (tcp/ip, whatever) is blank. netca chokes Java when I try to add a connection. So, question is: Anybody got a clue how to install and make 8.1.7 CLIENT work on a WS 2.1 box? I tried to look at the puschitz.com site, but I couldn't get to it, looks like it may be gone or at least down.

It has the same problem as the RH9 from rawhide -- it spontaneously evaporates from the screen, such as what might happen if there's some kind of library incompatibility.

Xterm and other questions
Hi, I have a few other questions as a new RH9 user that I hoped someone could help me answer. - I'd like to use the standard xterm and not the 'terminal' program. However, I'd like to have white-on-black instead of black-on-white. Is there a program that can be used to configure the xterm properties, or do I have to use an Xdefaults file? If so, does someone know what the parameters are for configuring font colors, sizes, and background? - I previously used WindowMaker and like it a lot because it was simple. I had ALT-F1 programmed to switch to the first virtual terminal, ALT-F2 for the second, etc. I've figured out how to do this in RH9 using their GNOME/KDE combo, but it seems to require mouse focus to be on a window before switching, then carries that window with it to the next virtual terminal.

That doesn't seem to make sense to me... No, you don't "copy an ISO file to a CD...", you "burn image file" onto the CD. There is a difference. If you "copy" it to a CD, you;ll have a CD containing an ISO file. This is not what you want. The ISO file is basically an image of a CD, it contains the CD file system. So, you have to treat it as an image file so that when you're done and view the CD you'll see the things that are within the ISO file. If youse "Easy CD Creator" (on windoze), for example, pull down the FILE menu and choose (from memory) "create CD from disk image", and in the dialog that pops up change the file type from its default setting (I don't recall what it is) to "iso".

If you have the ISO files, and a Linux box, you can mount the ISO file so you can then access its contents like any other mounted volume (with the exception that an ISO filesystem is read only): mount -oloop foo.ISO /mnt/loop (you may need to create /mnt/loop). > > So..

There are THREE ISO images necessary for installing RH 7.3. To burn them onto a CDROM, you need to use the "create CD from image file" (or similar) function of your CD burning software. If done right, when you have completed burning and look at the contents of the CD, you'll see several files and subdirectories (dosutils, images, RedHat, and others). If you have done it wrong, when you look at the CD you'll see one file named .iso. > > 2). Does this image need to be compiled?

Thanks, Ed, for the reply. The problem seems to be that all the binaries (that I can find) date from 1998 and don't seem to work on a more-or-less modern system like my RH72 box. I can't even get any result from "ldd foo" where "foo" is the particular quake binary I try it on. I found sources for "sdlquake" which builds and runs, but it's pretty slow (though I admit I haven't tried it using SVGAlib yet). I found an old HOWTO for building a QuakeWorld that uses GL and works on Nvidia cards, but I don't want QuakeWorld, I want plain old Quake.

Linux quake
I know I'm waay behind the times here, I'm trying to figure out how to get quake (or quake II, either/both) running on RH7.2. So far all the binaries I've found are from 1998 and they don't seem to work on the 2.4 kernel and glibc6. I can't even "ldd " them, which tells me they're really ancient. I can't find any modern builds on quake or quakeII, most of the links I find on a google search either all have the same stuff, all point to the same (few) download areas, or are dead (linuxquake., for example). I've got an nvidia geforce-4 mx440 card, I'd think glquake could be made to work there, but so far no go. I've just tried sdlquake and it is unbearably slow. I thought sdl could use GL as a back-end, but either this particular one doesn't, or else I don't have a clue how to set it up. Assistance anyone?

You should be able to do something like:
rm -f "/var/log/dev\/log"
or even write a short C program similar to this (untested) code:
foo.c --
#include
#include
main (int argc, char ** argv)
{
if (argc == 2)
{
unlink (argv[1]);
}
return 0;
}
---
compile it:
cc -o foo foo.c
run it:
./foo "/var/log/dev\/log"

I wouldn't know if there's a GUI way to do it or not. But instead, I'd "get my hands dirty" and type in a few commands into a console window. Check out "man fdisk", "man mkfs", "man mke2fs", and related pages. Maybe also man mount. You'll probably want to add it to /etc/fstab so it will be automatically mounted (and fsck'd if need be) at boot time.

Exceeding limits of kernel 2.4.x (Red Hat 7.3)?
Hi all, I think I may be beating-up one of my servers too badly, but I'm not sure what the hard limits are within the 2.4 Kernel. I have a server running right now with about 250 processes. About 150 of those are Java VM processes, each with between 20-100 of its own threads. A couple have many more threads, one has ~430 threads, the other ~220. Of course, each thread gets its own PID, and overall the system is running at about 2600 PID's allocated (again, to about 250 processes, 150 of which are Java VM's). Each JVM has a unique User ID, so the problems we're experiencing are not, I would think, related to a per-user limitation. We're starting to see the server fail to execute new processes (such as killall or shutdown!) with a "segmentation fault" and the server is, at times, dead in the water until it gets itself a hard reboot. Actually I have a couple tricks to get around a hard reboot but they're not pretty. The server's memory and swap are no where near exhausted, and the CPU util. is relatively low. Anyhow, my questions: 1. Am I brushing up against some limitations of the kernel here? Or is there something else I may be missing afoot? 2. If there is a limitation to the # of PID's the kernel will dole out, is this limitation limited explicitely to threads, or is it a matter of total # of processes? 3. I've noticed that the stock Red Hat 9 kernel more gracefully reports a single process per Java VM rather than showing all threads (at least when querying with a 'ps xauwww'). Is the above (presumed) limitation still implicit, or does it go away once threads are no longer assigned their own PID? The implication here is, should I go through a painful upgrade to solve the problem, or should I find a more interesting problem? 4. Are there any good solutions to this issue without upgrading? Perhaps customizing the kernel somehow? TIA, -Fred -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

You should be able to set them up like this: ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom1 (of course, you can name the "cdromx" part of it anything you want, so you could use /dev/firstcd and /dev/2ndcd, or anything else that strikes your fancy--it's just a link/pointer/indirection to the real device--as long as the programs that access it know the name you've used). There's nothing wrong with having one CD use ide-scsi emulation and one not (except the one that does not is not usable by X-CDROAST). But if you want both of them to use it, then set it up as you suggested up above and change the /dev/cdromx links appropriately. if you still don't get sound, the things to check are: 1. is the player even finding the drive? (i.e., does the drive actually play the CD or not?) 2. if so, do you get sound at the headphone jack on the device? 3. if so, make sure the audio cable from the CD to the sound card is properly connected. (also make sure it's not defective) 4. if so, do you have the correct channel volume turned up on your sound mixer? 5. if so, is your sound card busted? 6.

Normally the sound goes from the CD drive to the sound card via the analog audio cable, so drive setup shouldn't matter at all, as long as the CD player app works. But I seem to have a vague recollection of someone mentioning that in RH9 (and I may be completely wrong about this) the player apps extract digital sound from the ide bus instead. If this is right, my theory is that the player app is confused by the change of naming of the CD drive. You'll note that instead of /dev/hda (or hdb/c/d) your CD drive is now /dev/scd0 (or scd1, or...). Perhaps you simply need to reconfigure your media player accordingly? does your /dev/cdrom point at /dev/scdx or does it still point to /dev/hdx?? If still pointing at /dev/hdx, then you need to change it: rm /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom or similar. > > Thank's & God Bless all\ > David Hammett > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Linux is great I love It..

My (admittedly unresearched theory): A few years ago someone gave me a CDROM drive (for use in a giveaway system I was buildng) that worked fine on my (then) RH 4.x box, but didn't work at all in Windows 95. After considerably digging, I found that it was conformant with an older version of the ATAPI standard, and that Win95 wanted at least one dot-rev higher than it supported. Is it possible you've encountered a similar situation, where the ATAPI drivers in the newer kernel no longer support a drive that only provides an older ATAPI standard capability? Also, what do you see in "dmesg | less" regarding ide, ATAPI, or CDROM when the "bad" drive is in the system? have you read the documentation in /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/ide.txt? -- Fred Smith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Are you running RH 7.2 WITHOUT any of the errata/updates issued by
Red Hat?
There was a known "issue" in the original release of 7.2 that caused this
very symptom. You can work around it by (as someone else already suggested)
doing "depmod -ae" as root. Or you can "fix it right" by installing all
the RH72 errata.
I suggest you DO install all the RH72 updates. There are MANY, and they
cover not only this particular bug, but numerous other bugs and (most
importantly) security issues. Several of the early errata for 7.2 also
add important fixes and updates to the printing system which was somewhat
flaky on the original release.
if you have DSL or cable or some form of high speed access getting and
installing all the errata shouldn't be too painful. The easiest way will
be to register with RHN ("configure update agent" on the KDE menus) then
run the "Update Agent" and let it install all packages. Then reboot to
bring up the new kernel. Expect this to take several hours as there is
a large number of errata on that release.

Re: Boot from Red Hat CD and restore from tape?
I would actually recommend using a full Linux distribution on a CD type distributions instead. I have a GREAT one that I have no idea what the name is :-) But it fits on a 3" 250MB CD-RW (I think it's a whole 50MB, actually), and I never walk into the data center without it. These Linux-on-a-CD distributions are much more functional than a Red Hat boot CD, and typically come with every tool you can think of to help you fix your system.

While this mostly works well enough, it isn't really the way threads are intended to work, there are apparently some "minor" areas in which it doesn't do exactly the right thing. (though for the purposes of a MT program I wrote and maintain at work, it's just fine). Beginning at RH9, they are using the new threading mechanism that properly implements threads as all members of a single process.

I was merely referring you to the web site on the assumption that there may be linux-ized code there. The APU code has been linuxized and that code is to be found there. I've not tried that code, and I'm still on RH72, so I probably can't give details. However, if you post (to, e.g., RH mailing list) some terse examples (5-10 lines) of code that gives errors, perhaps someone can offer some useful advice. > Also, what do you mean by 'his APUE'? "APUE" is his book "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment", an EXCELLENT book, though now getting kinda out of date. Nevertheless, it gives excellent discussions of many/all aspects of Unix programming, so that even if some of the programming examples are growing out of date as Unix changes, it is still a great book. > > Thanks! > > Shi-Ping > > > > > > configure and build the basic library as follows: > > > > > > $./configure > > > $cd lib > > > $make > > > > > > There seems no problem when I invoked ./configure and make commands. > > > However, I got syntax error when I tried the following: > > > > > > $cd ../pipe > > > $make pipeconf > > > > > > Some function calls have failed.

Oracle 8i and 9i
Hi gang! Trying to figure out if: 1) Oracle 8i client can be made to run on the new Enterprise Server/Workstation family from RH (I know Oracle has certified them for 9i), or 2) if a 9i client can be made to run on RH 8 or 9 or, for that matter, if 3) an 8i client can be made to work on 9. just installed 9 on a test machine today, client install goes along nicely til it tries to link, at which point it fails horribly. So I tried installing all the compat*6.2*rpm files off a 7.2 CD and got a bunch of conflicts from RPM (sorry, I don't have the list handy) about things already on the system conflicting with stuff in the "new" rpm files. Anybody tried this yet who can give me a hint or two?

It should be something like: rsync -avz --progress -- rsync://server/ You can replace with $1 to get the filename passed on the command-line.

Sorry, one follow-up to my post. Another advantage to using rsync is that it will pick up where it left off if your dial-up gets disconnected. rsync can also be configured to run over ssh (which is actually how it's normally configured), but if you haven't used ssh before then it's a bit difficult to get started.

There are instructions (in the RH7.1 release notes, among other places) of some special settings one MUST make in the environment before you can run the Oracle installer. For RH7.x or later, that is. If you don't set those the installer starts up and hangs, consuming 99% of the CPU for as long as you care to let it.

Problem w/ latest errata on RH62 system
At work I'm still using a RH62 box for development. I'm keeping it up to date with up2date. today, late in the afternoon, I installed the latest batch of errata, a kernel and all the trimmings, a glibc, and one other I can't remember right now. Since it was a kernel update I did a shutdown and reboot afterwards. To my displeasure, it won't boot. It tries to mount /proc and some other stuff and at that point it all fails, with errors like "readonly filesystem". 4-6 such errors. Then drops me to a system maintenance prompt. I tried running "fsck -fy /dev/hda2" which is root, and it "fixed" a bunch of things, did a reboot and encountered exactly the same set of errors again. So I rebooted and tried to boot the previous kernel. Same thing. Anybody give me a clue whereh to start here? This is a rather important box, it needs to be running.

If someone said "miles ahead" would you think it meant time? Is not a mile, as well as a light-year, a measure of distance? Why is one of them appropriate to use this way but not the other? No, there's nothing wrong with what the OP said, he means WAY ahead, not just miles, but much much much more than miles: light years! > Han Solo: "Fast? Yeah, she's fast.

But of course, even that doesn't make much sense, it's just a bit of flotsam/jetsam on the sea of stupid movie lines. > > rday > > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- --- .Fred Smith/ ( /__ ,__. __ __ / __ : / // / /__) / / /__) .+' Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // (__ (___ (__(_ (___ / :__ 781-438-5471 Jude 1:24,25 - -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Some packges are nice and install themselves in your menus, some aren't and don't. Assuming the things you're installing are RPM files, you can find out what things are in the file that will be installed by doing: rpm -qlp filename.rpm | less this will tell you where the files were put, so then you can make some guesses as to which ones are the program files, etc., find out where its documentation files were put, and so forth. having done that (and having read the docs) you can try running it from a commandline in a terminal window. once you figure out how to run it you can use the menu editor (on one of the menus) to add it to the appropriate menu, or right click on the desk top and add an app launcher for it. > I'm the computer go-to guy at church (because nobody else will step up), I'm right there with you, I do the same thing for the same reason! > and read some amazing stuff about Linux.

Thanks, Stephen! Unfortunately there is no "font installer"or anything else even vaguely similar in kde control center|system. Probably explains why I can't find the tool, it's not there!

Re: Samba Printer Share
Hi gang! Using RH72 (fully updated), how do I make KDE become aware of a whole bunch of new True Type fonts I've installed? I've followed the directions RH gives, and now Mozilla/Phoenix/Galeon/ Opera/OpenOffice, etc. all see the fonts. I can print things using them. but KDE, konqueror, etc., pretend they do not exist. They do not appear in the KDE COntrol Center |look and feel|fonts, or anywhere else I can find in KDE or Konqueror. I've seen referneces (in KDE docs) about some font administrator program but never have they told me the name of this program. I can't find it anywhere, so I seem to be stuck. Clues, please?
