[SLUG] Hosting services
Title: Message I am looking for some kind of a hosting service. Ideally this would be a virtual hosting service running some flavour of Linux at a low cost. I am going overseas soon and this will enable me to manage three low volume web sites and an email service I operate for a sailing club in Sydney. I would hope it would cost no more than $100 per month but the email volume can be quite large with attachments and such. Many thanks, Dennis P. S. I will be on the road over the next few days so if you would like to call, my number is (0418) 646267 Notebook.jpg-- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] Sendmail not clearing mqueue
I have an alias file I use to maintain a small mailing list. I have noticed lately that mail sent to an alias address is not being deleted from the /var/spool/mqueue directory after delivery. All the files for the particular message remain in the directory and consequently, the message is delivered many hundreds of times until I intervene. Can anyone suggest a possible cause for this? I can't see any obvious errors in the alias file that might cause some kind of loop.

[SLUG] Sony SDT-7000 tape drive problems
I sent something about this last week but I guess it got lost with all the stuff about meeting formats, ADSL, etc. I have a Sony SDT-7000 tape drive to be used to back up a Linux server. Everything was fine until I tried to back up a large amount of data on a 20gb drive. I have tried using both dump and tar and with each got a message at the end of the first volume that it was time to change volumes. When I did so, I got an I/O error message and had to abort the dump (or tar). I suspect there may be something wrong with the driver. Formerly I used this same drive on a SCO Unix box without a problem. Thanks, Dennis GIF image
[SLUG] gdm Configuration
I ran into a problem with GDM on my office Linux server yesterday and ended up reinstalling it. I am now getting a problem when I try to connect with X-Win32. I can see the machine in the list of xdmcp hosts but after I select this machine, the RedHat logo starts to display then the session fails. The following message is in the /var/log/messages: Feb 1 09:37:02 felix gdm[2059]: gdm_xdmcp_decode_packet: Unknown opcode from ho st 192.168.17.244 It seems that there was another place that I had to configure this so that workstations on the network were authorised but I cannot remember where.

[SLUG] gdm problem reported earlier
I haven't solved the problem yet but have found a reference manual on the Gnome site that might help. I would like an answer if anyone knows it off the top of their head, though. Thanks, Dennis GIF image
[SLUG] dump command with multi-volume tapes
I am trying to use the dump command to dump a large ext2 filesystem (15gb) to tape. The format of the command I am using is: dump -0auf /dev/st0 /provider The problem is, when I reach the end of the volume, the command prompts for a change of volumes and asks for a yes or no reply when the new volume is mounted. When the new volume is mounted I reply "yes" and get an i/o error and I am asked if I want to retry. I keep getting the i/o error and then have to abort the entire dump. I have tried using /dev/nst0 I don't believe there is a real i/o error on the newly mounted tape because I can write to that tape with tar or use it for a dump on a smaller filesystem I am not sure of the proper way to change volumes. I can only eject the tape with the hardware because if I try using mt to bring the drive offline, I get a "tape busy" message. Any clues, Thanks, Dennis -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] inetd.conf query
I agree that the machine has been compromised, thus my queries, but there was nothing more that I could find than what I have already reported. These symptoms do not seem to match anything that I have read about Ramen's footprint. I have searched www.cert.org and reported it to them as well. Dennis -Original Message- From: Alan Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, 21 January 2001 20:53 Subject: Re: [SLUG] inetd.conf query Um Do a "netstat -l -n" and see what ports are open. (Mainly high ports, ie, 16000) If you see any weird ones, from an external machine, telnet to them and see what happens. I think your box may have been root'ed or something...

[SLUG] Mounting a SCSI CDROM
I have an HP Surestore 6020SE that I have successfully been able to write to using cdrecord however I cannot figure out how to mount it so that I can read from it. I have checked the various howto's but can't get it right. I am not even sure which device I should be choosing. I thought it would be /dev/sg0 (Redhat Linux 6.1 system). Any help? thanks GIF image
[SLUG] X-Win32 with Redhat 6.2 X-Windows
I am using X-Win32 4.1.4 to display sessions on a local Linux host running Redhat 6.2. I have run across an annoy problem with the keyboard. Whenever I press the number 2, either from the main keyboard or the number pad, I get what looks like a backspace. I cannot enter the number 2 at all. I use this X-Win32 program with Compaq Unix, HPUX, Solaris and SCO with no problem. Can someone tell me how I might find the source of the problem and fix it? Thanks GIF image
[SLUG] Use of DUMP for backup to remote server
The documentation for the dump command states that it can be used across a network. Can someone give me some hint as to how to set it up so that an entire filesystem (ext2) can be backed up to a tape on a remote machine (running HPUX 11.0). I am issuing the command as: [root@felix /root]# dump -0 -f mrhat:/dev/0m / DUMP: remshd: Login incorrect. DUMP: login to mrhat as root failed. What do I need to set up to get the login to work? I have looked at the various man pages for dump, rexec, etc. and can't seem to get it right. I do have a /etc/hosts.equiv on the HP box and that works for rsh but may not be used by rexec Thanks Dennis GIF image
[SLUG] Use of Gnu tar
I am having trouble with the syntax of using Gnu tar to do the following. This is a simplified example of the real problem but maybe it will help. The tape archive has a structure like this: dir1/dir2/file1 dir1/dir2/file2 dir1/dir2/file3 ... dir/1/dir2/file999 Some of these files are very large so I need to distribute them around a number of different file systems because no single file system can hold all the files. For example, I would like to extract like this: file1-file199 into /u02/data file200-399 into /u03/data file400-999 into /u03/data I have read the manual from gnu.org but it is not very good on examples. I know I should be able to read a --files-from control file but cannot figure out the syntax of how to set up the file. In it I would like to specify to start by changing directories to /u02/data then specify the files to be extracted using a wildcard. Can anyone confirm that this can be done and show me an example?

[SLUG] What to do
I was experimenting with VMWare in order to run Windows NT on my Linux box. Things went very well for a few days then, all of a sudden, the system froze and I tried to do the ctrl-alt-escape to get control back from the virtual host and it wouldn't work. I did everything to regain control, ctrl-F1, F2, etc. to get to another console didn't work. Ctrl-alt-F8, F7 etc got me nothing. My only recourse was to reboot. After I rebooted, everything came up normally except X-windows. My system starts gdm but all I get now is a grey screen without the Redhat logo nor login window. If I kill off all the X-windows stuff then run startx, I'm okay. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can try to fix this?

[SLUG] Chinese Fonts for Linux
I have read the Chinese HOWTO and attempted to find the bdf fonts referred to in that document. Unfortunately, there are no fonts available in the directory on the FTP site but there is a document, in Chinese, that might explain where they have been moved or whatever. Of course, I cannot read it nor can my roommate because I dont' have the capability of displaying the text without those fonts. I may have to wait until Monday to use the Windows system at work, which does have Chinese support. Does anyone know anything about how to find the proper fonts to make Netscape 4.73 on Linux display Chinese text properly?
