Re: [SLUG] Repair shop?
Mark, Are your hard disks and CDROM IDE devices? If so, have you set up the master/slave jumpers correctly (since you have 3 devices you must have 2 sharing one channel/cable, would that be the CDROM and the second disk)? Can you still boot from a diskette? Did you make a boot disk when you installed? Do you have any MCA SCSI devices/cards in your system (the error message you quote says they are not found so this may just be a red herring)? If your devices are SCSI, did you set the SCSI IDs correctly? Well, this is embarassing. I have this old IBM P133 that I run Debian on. I'm a hobbyist, not a professional. Yesterday I had a go at putting in a second hard drive. There wasn't much room in the case, but I think I got everything plugged back in right. The machine booted up just fine so I ran fdisk and then mkfs -t ext2 on the second drive and tried to reboot. Now it won't boot.

The virtusertable entries look like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sydney.user@[ip.of.sydney.server] [EMAIL PROTECTED] melbourne.user@[ip.of.melbourne.server] Having done all that, the weird thing is my box wants to relay these emails off to a different box on the LAN, one which used to (ages ago) be the mail relay to the outside world, but no longer does that. The virtusertable just seems to be getting ignored, and I can't for the life of me work out where it's getting the idea to relay to the old relay box - all references to that as such are long gone.

[SLUG] Installing Printer Drivers
Hi everyone, My server set up nightmare continues... So far I have managed to install Redhat 7.2 and update it. I could just cry!! (But I will succeed!... one day) Anyway, I figured the first service I would configure would be printer server... easy huh? No way. I have 2 lexmarks printers, an Optra LX+ laser printer and a z25 colour Inkjet printer. I have downloaded and upacked the drivers. For the Inkjet, this was a prettystraight forward install and it's happily plugged in as /dev/usb/lp0. The laser printer untarred a folder called drivers-linux-glibc2-x86... which contained 2 rpms, which I installed. I thought the Optra LX would then appear in the list select driver section of the printer set up... Nope! 2 questions... 1. How do I get Linux to use the downloaded driver (assuming I ever find where it upacked to) 2. How do share them from the server end ?(I'm pretty confident about setting up remote printers from the workstations) What do I need to tell my server to make it a printer server?

RE: [SLUG] Optus Cable
The modem connects via an RJ45 plug. You can put this into either the uplink on a switch (or one of those firewall/switches made for cable access) directly or into a NIC. My setup is a RedHey 7.3 gateway. eth0 is for the real world ip, eth1 is the internal network which has below it a couple of machines. I then just use a startup script on the gateway box to set iptables to do the nat etc. It's all worked without any dramas for about 6 or so months. I'll eventually get around to converting the gateway to Debian like the other Linux machines in the network. I can pass around the iptables script to those interested though it's not especially elegant it does the job.

If OPTUS connects to a NIC am I better off having two in my server (or is that essential), one for OPTUS and the other for the rest of the LAN? Depends on the modem they issue you. typically they give external modems which connect to another nic in your computer.. So if you want to share this cable modem link, you'd need 2 nic's. 1 for modem, and 1 for internal lan to hook to the machine controlling it... As someone mentioned, I'd recommend you get a pentium machine with 2 nics to controll it... and then you dont need to worry about configuring firewall rules on your server, just set them up on the stand alone machine :) and have no services running on the nic to the modem :) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Title: FW: [SLUG] Optus Cable -Original Message- From: Simon Bryan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] So where does the cable modem connect to? The one I have has both a USB plug and an RJ45 connector. Using USB (they insist on setting it up this way) requires special drivers, and apparently it won't work thourgh a hub. I havn't tried the USB option under linux. It can also be connected to a NIC with a crossover cable. Simple, reliable, should work for any system that can use DHCP. (Definitely works for Windows and Linux) - Doug

And the best thing about an iso, is you can even loopback mount it and still
get at the data without having to burn it onto a cdrom.

RE: [SLUG] Repair shop?
Hmm, I can't really remember the proper explanation (sorry), I think that you will find that this is based on a half truth. In your example, if you used two devices of the same connection type, but different speed there should be no slowdown. SCSI typically uses a 32bit processor which can submit commands and disconnect from the devices and uses other things such as tag queuing to limit any possible performance hit. You will have this problem, however if use a LVD SE device on the same channel, but this is a different scenario.
