[SLUG] Help with finger command
Good morning, I am attempting to migrate from a DG/UX platform to a Linux platform and have come across a slight problem. On the DG box (Sys V) the finger command returned the IP address (or hostname) of the client. ie: sysprog Sysprog pts/132 5 Fri 09:15 172.30.65.40 RH7.2 Linux finger appears not to return this vital piece of information. Is there a shell command on RH that returns the IP/host of the connecting client Thx in advance Peter Worboys [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Disk Druid vs Fdisk
I have recently purchased a Compaq ML570 with the Compaq Smart Array 5300 controller. I have been able to successfully configure and run (for the last month) 8 x 18Gb drives set as 5 x 18Gb = Raid 5 + 1 Spare and 2 x 18Gb Raid 1 Mirror using the Smart Array Contoller is Hardware raid mode (nice and esay). During installation, RH7.2 used Disk Druid to partition the drives correctly with what seems to be logical Drive Geometry settings. Problem is: fdisk only sees the raid 5 (and raid 1) disk set as a drive with many sectors (lots and lots) but only 1 cylinder, very hard to partition it. I cannot see how to use Disk Druid *AFTER* installation to reconfigure drive partitions. Can you ? Can fdisk be forced to see the same logical drive geometies as Disk Druid ?

[SLUG] Samba - Using eth0:0 alias
Good morning I have a server with a single ethernet card, but aliased to two IP addresses. eth0 = 172.30.65.25 eth0:0 172.30.65.24 Samba mounts work as expected to eth0, but not to eth0:0 ie: \\172.30.65.25\users works \\172.30.65.24\users fails. If I reverse the aliases so eth0 becomes 172.30.65.24 then it works but 172.30.65.25 on eth0:0 fails. Is anyone familiar with this type of behaviour ?

Steve I have been unable to get this to work with the card set in 'Auto' mode. It appears that maybe the Windows Driver senses voltage on the either interface and configures the card accordingly. The Linux driver never seems to want to go to BNC - always wanting the TP. There maybe a unless there is a hidden option. My solution was to get the Installation Disks (#2 I think) and run the 3c5x9cfg program and force the card to be a BNC not Auto Select. Worked for me.

RE: [SLUG] sendmai not sending mail but erroring with "load average" errors. .
Snip for a DG/UX man page on their implementation of sendmail. The sendmail program divides the value of the factor you specify by the difference between the current load average and the load average limit to determine the maximum message priority of messages to be sent immediately. When the resulting quotient is less than the priority of the message, the job is queued rather than run immediately. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] WU-FTP Configuration
Is there a convenient method of configuring wu-ftp (shipped with RH) so that non-anonymous connections can only see their own directory tree. Something akin to doing a chroot !

I use gnokii and a Nokia 5110 plugged into a serial port on my Linux M/C as a message server. It can send to any phone, Telstra, Vodaphone and Optus as well as being able to receive messages. Only cost was to purchase Nokia Data Suite for a 5110 to get the serial cable ($150), but there are plenty of resources on the net to allow you to make your own cable.

[SLUG] NTP Configuration File Required
I have just loaded the RPM for ntp (time protocol) and I am wondering if any fellow slug members has a working sample configuration file that can be used as a reference. The RPM was based on version 4.0.93a instead of the current release of 4.0.99k The configuration file I am looking for would be to allow connection of a Linux (RH6.1) to an external stratum 0 or stratum 1 time server such as 'time.nist.gov', This would then allow clients, down stream *nix and Window system to be synchronised accordingly Any help, guidance would be greatly appreciated.
