John,
A copy of the 2.9.x rpms for Mandrake 7.2 should be available from the 7.2
updates directory on the ftp sites.

Glenn,
Sounds like you have a duplicate syslog config file for logrotate. Look in
/etc/logrotate.d and verify that you have only 1 syslog file, not both
syslog and syslog.rpmnew .

So far, I've managed to get a redhat postfix srpm to rebuild for Mdk 7.2,
as well as samba. A lot of the problems are coming because certain items
that were part of glibc-devel (for example) have been "split off" in mdk 8.0.
This means for many of these srpms, the only way to get them to compile
I ended up taking the srpm from Redhat and recompiling it for Mandrake
(incidentally, it is newer than the one in the cooker directory).

All,
I apologize for my lack of progress on checking cooker srpms in the last

What this does, is take 'cdrecord*' as the argument to the query for rpm.
Therefore, it looks in the rpm database to find that, in fact, the package
'cdrecord*' isn't installed.

Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
Go to http://.mandrakestor
You could also look at Linux Professional Institute,
http://www.lpi.org--their tests are non-distro specific.

Actually, it is. You could probably rebuild the 7.2 srpm for 7.1, or try
installing the 7.2 update rpms at

I recently set up a testbox and I haven't been successfully able to set an
ipchains based firewall up such that our trusted boxes can communicate with
the test box (all connections, both ways, all protocols) with every other
computer being denied.
For example, I want to be able to remotely login

I've figured out what was wrong--I was putting the rules to allow from
those certain hosts below the generic deny rules (hence it matched the deny
rules, and not the accept rules)

It would help to know what version of apache, what your error log says
(/var/log/httpd/error_log), and what line(s) in the apache configuration
file you are trying to change.

telnet is started via xinetd, therefore, you'd run '/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd

I recently went through the process of upgrading apache 1.3.14 to 1.3.20 on
a Mandrake 7.2 system with all other security updates + Ximian gnome in
place. The upgrade went fine, but then when I tried to connect to the
server, I kept getting "segmentation faults" on the PID's of the web

Dan,
Try this:
--- Begin Configuration Example ---
NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4

DocumentRoot /path/to/spanish
ServerName spanish.org
ServerAlias *.spanish.org
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/span_error_log
User nobody

DocumentRoot /path/to/english

This is a known issue, which they are working to resolve.
Vincent, what's the timeline for release of another 1.3.20 update?

Do a touch on /var/log/pacct. That will fix it.
