[expert] Newsflash: Gentoo has forked.
Gentoo has been one of MDK's greatest competitors so far, maintaining fourth place at Distrowatch.com right behind Red Hat. Mandrake of course has almost consistently maintained it's first place position there. I find it interesting that so far we in the Mandrake world have avoided forking, thus maintaining our strength in concentrated form. Even though there are disagreements and disputes. It shows the strength of the Mandrake community. Mandrakians seem to be strong in that they are able to put up with disagreements and flaws without getting totally annoyed and just leavi?g. I think this is because mainly that we have voices in the form of votes and the mailing lists. As well as the forums.

[expert] X-Win32 and rexec
Hello All.
Preconditions: the PCs with IP 192.168.0.1 (Win2000, called ws_honeyman) and
192.168.0.101 (MDK9.0, called srv_castle). ws_honeyman has X-Win32 installed,
and the main aim is to allow to work with srv_castle from that X-Win32.
I'm creating a session in X-Win32, with rexec as command execution method,
192.168.0.101 as host, and /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -display 192.168.0.1:0 as
command to be executed. Login and password are mine from srv_castle.
Starting a session. srv_castle logs the following:
/var/log/auth.log:
Jun 24 03:04:09 srv_castle xinetd[1002]: START: exec pid=1725 from=192.168.0.1
/var/log/daemons and /var/log/syslog:

/var/log/secure:
Jun 24 03:10:59 srv_castle xinetd[1002]: START: exec pid=1934 from=192.168.0.1
But I don't see xterm started on ws_honeyman (192.168.0.1).
But if I log to .0.101 via SSH and run the same command /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
-display 192.168.0.1:0 there, xterm appears on .0.1.
Looks like the X is properly configured, but rexec does not properly starts
the remote xterm session. I've digged in the xinetd, rexec, pam conf-files to
allow rexec execute the sessions on srv_castle by request from ws_honeyman,
but with no luck.
Any ideas?

Re: [expert] Monitor refresh rates
Hi Anne, first thing to do - is to not boot into X... So - The Failsafe Option is a first part. Just - at the Lilo prompt - give: init 3 in - it should start the system without X. The Problem - is that you most probably need to start with an empty XF86Config-4 file - as the XFDrake programm takes the old one as template (It assumes - what you have in there works already ...) So - move that file to your Home-Directory, make sure there is no mode XF86Config-4 in /etc/X11, and start XFDrake again. It should do the trick.

Microsoft does not specify how they protect their files, so we cannot simply import them as password-protected files in StarOffice 6.0 software. Microsoft does not encrypt their protected files. In the past, we simply imported those documents as unprotected files. Naturally, this represents a security violation and most enterprises were not happy about that. As a result, we blocked the import capability for password-protected files and they can no longer be imported at all. Does anyone know if this is true? Doe it go for the newer version of office?

Just - at the Lilo prompt - give: init 3 in - it should start the system without X. The Problem - is that you most probably need to start with an empty XF86Config-4 file - as the XFDrake programm takes the old one as template (It assumes - what you have in there works already ...) So - move that file to your Home-Directory, make sure there is no mode XF86Config-4 in /etc/X11, and start XFDrake again. It should do the trick. Hi, Joerg, It eventually dawned on me that I didn't even want to use the failsafe from the lilo splash. I hit esc, typed linux 3 and got a text login. Logged in as root and ran XFdrake. It started from the position of the old monitor, but since it was a text only version of XFdrake that didn't matter. I navigated around until I found a suitable entry, and voila!

Re: [expert] Open relay using Postfix. Need config help.
'netstat -napt' doesn't reveal anything odd. Ok so when I have smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, check_recepient_access hash:/etc/postfix/access, check_relay_domains It will relay for any host. Even if the /etc/postfix/access is empty (no IP addresses). I thought that the /etc/postfix/access files list of address would only permit those machines to relay e-mail??? Is this right?? Here is my situation. I need to have the mail server accept e-mail for the entire domain but only allow certin clients (or routers, for networks that masqurade ip addresses) to relay e-mail through the server.

The mm kernel is slower than the rgular kernel for most non-mm stuff, so unless you do a lot of mm work, it isn't worth the switch. praedor The best kernel I've used so far is a kernel.org 2.4.21 with the Con Kolivas ck3 patches. I use the base ck3, then add all the performance patches, and the upgraded supermount patch. These work great. I compile as user in /home/kernels/linux-2.4.21, and after make install_modules as root I don't use make install, so I manually have to copy bzImage to /boot/bzImage-2.4.21-ck3, and System.map to /boot/System.map-2.4.21-ck3. I don't use an initrd for this kernel, and when I edit lilo, I delete the initrd line, so my new stanza looks like this: image=/boot/bzImage-2.4.21-ck3 label=2421ck3 root=/dev/hda10 append=devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet vga=788 read-only I just copy the original MDK stanza to the bottom and edit the copy. Then run lilo as root. Of course, I also clean out and edit my stock MDK .config file when I do make xconfig, to reflect my hardware. I just run make xconfig after applying the ck patches, and import a copy of MDK's .config, and then do my editing. This procedure works fine for me.

[expert] Mandrake 8.0 ignoring the mouse
I have been running Mandrake 8.0 for a couple of years, and today, it stoped recognizing the mouse. This is a multi-boot machine, and the mouse still works on Mandrake 7.0 and Windows 98, on the same machine. The first symptomes of the problem were during a reboot, the text mode HardDrake came up saying it found a mouse. I configured it for Mouse Systems Mouse, which is what I have. The mouse is connected to serial port 1. 1) Is there a set of keyboard commands to move the mouse pointer, and click the mouse buttons on KDE? 2) what files need to be set to what, to get the mouse working again? I can access the files via the Mandrake 7.0 opartition, or in text only mode. On Mandrake 7.0 partition, /etc/sysconfig/mouse is: MOUSETYPE=MouseSystems XMOUSETYPE=MouseSystems FULLNAME=Mouse Systems (serial) XEMU3=yes - also, /dev/mouse - ttyS0 On the Mandrake 8.0 partition, /etc/sysconfig/mouse is: -- MOUSETYPE=MouseSystems XMOUSETYPE=MouseSystems FULLNAME=serial|Mouse Systems XEMU3=yes WHEEL=no device=ttyS0 -- Thanks Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Compiling kernel from .src.rpm
I think what you are asking is how to upgrade the kernel AND the kernel sources. You need to rebuild the new kernel .src.rpm. If you have a self-created building tree set up in /home/user, you can build as user. If not, doing it as root is OK- just cd to where the kernel srpm is, and su to root. When you rebuild, you can also specify your cpu with something like: rpm --rebuild --target athlon kernelwhatever.src.rpm This will take up to 3 hours to buid all versions of the kernel (the default action)- some people do a procedure to edit the srpm makefile to only build the type kernel they need, but it's more complicated. The above command builds them all, but is easy. Then install BOTH the resulting kernel you need and kernel sources rpms the usual way. Move them both to their own directory, and then as root issue: rpm -ivh *.rpm In Mandrake, this will install the new kernel image, the initrd, and the System.map file to /boot, the new modules into a new directory in /lib/modules, and the new sources into /usr/src. It will also edit lilo for you, but check anyway to be sure all is correct before re-booting. Post back if you still have questions. BTW, the reason you got: linux.2.4.20.tar.bz2 linux.2.4.21-pre4q18.tar.bz2 linux-mdkconfig.h linux-merge-config.awk linux-merge-modules.awk patch-2.4.21-pre4.bz2 README.kernel-sources README.Mandrake is because this srpm was made before 2.4.21 final was released, and they are patching the 2.4.20 version with various patches to bring it up to pre4 version. You might like to try using a regular newer 2.4.21 with the Con Kolivas patches (see my post on this in this list about multimedia kernel.)

I then edited my .config file some, and did the base patch, plus the performance patches, and supermount, all individually, and that worked out great. Must have been some conflict caused by the old .config. Anyway, my question is about setting the Variable Hz- do you mean when I do xconfig, I should change the setting in General setup to a higher value, and see if performance is improved? Here's my present value, that apparently is the default. Or, is that what we're even talking about? I'm not sure I understand this, due to lack of knowledge. # General setup # CONFIG_HZ=200 On your webpage I read: Is 1000Hz more overhead than 100Hz? Yes definitely, but not a great deal. If you change the Hz, use a multiple of 100. There really is no point going above 1000 Hz. I assume this means that if I'm correct and you are referring to that line in xconfig, I can experiment. Am I also correct in that I need your patch in order to experiment with this value? Or, am I totally misunderstanding all of the above, and the ck3 patches already set some other value to 1000Mhz that I'm confusing with the line in the kernel .config file?
