Land Card

2003-06-12 Thread santosh
Dear All,

I had installed the Redhat linux 8.0 with GNOME graphic mode. I had
already attached the SureCom ethernet land card.

I haven't found the drivers files or specific product of name in linux for that land 
card.
In this case, How can I install the SureCom Land Card and configure ??

I had tried in graphic mode and text mode but cann't make activate.
Please tell me the way...

I will be very happy...

Thanks for your cooperation in advance

 Windows XP has virtual desktops (not as fully customizable as most
 X-window managers, but good enough).

So, after about 15-20 years, Windows has finally caught up in

 You have to get the Microsoft XP power toy for multi-desks.

Does that mean I still have to get some extras to get the full
functionality? I wouldn't know - at work, we have Win00 and at home, I
wouldn't touch XP with a barge pole - no registration crap for me,
thank-you-very-much. That, by the way, is another reason not to use
Windows - the whole licensing crap. I just hope that SCO won't succeed
in shooting holes into Linux in that regard, although even then there
are alternatives. What will happen when the whole DRM sh*t takes off
(and it *will* take off - the media industries will see to that),
remains to be seen.


 Windows XP Pro also has Remote Desktop, built in ready to go right out 
 of the box.
 It makes X-windows look like crap in comparison.
 It is FAST, even over high latency , low bandwidth connections.
 It has exported sound and the connecting client can share his disks (if 
 he wants to ) with the server.
 The only downside I have seen is that it is not true multi-user, it only 
 allows one desktop user to be active at a time (whether remote OR local).

Which means that it is no match for X for me, as the multi-user
ability is *exactly* the most interesting stuff. That's what I love
about the traditional Unix concept: Full multiuser, no matter what
you're doing - and fully transparent, too.


 I guess that Terminal 
 server is based on the same
 thing as Remote-Desktop, and it is true multi-user, but it is very 
 expensive when compared with *FREE*

Also, it's an add-on, not included with Windows, right?


To get back to the speed argument: One thing I'm missing is the
hardware requirements: I can build fully usable Linux systems on
hardware where the latest offerings from MS would be completely
unusable. I have a P233MMX with 48MB which is my bedside computer -
light browsing, mail - that kind of stuff. Runs beautifully under RH
7.3, whereas even Win98 crawls on that machine, due to excessive
swapping. Of course, I'm not running KDE/GNOME or suchlike on that
box, but then again, I'm not running those on any of my boxes, as I
have no use for them. For me, DE's like that just get in the way, just
like the Windows GUI - they all feel like Nanny GUI's to me... ;-)

I think one of the reasons that apparently nobody is interested in
improving Linux' desktop speed is that many of the developers have
different priorities. Fortunately for me, they're pretty much in
agreement with my own priorities, so I'm happy. ;-)

Cheerio,

Thomas (who's in urgent need of a coffee... :-} )

Firstly, it's not a land card, it is a LAN card, LAN standing for Local 
Area Network'.

Now that that is sorted, from what I know SureCom does not produce 
chips, but just the boards they sit on. You need to find out what 
chipset your card is (Intel, VIA, 3Com, Realtek to name a few).

Then installing the driver for that chipset may help you.

HOWEVER!!! Really installing LAN cards is a non-event. Kudzu has always 
picked up the card automatically for me. Mind you, I ALWAYS use well 
respected brand name cards (Intel at the moment).

So, my belief at this point (if you have kudzu installed), is that your 
card is NOT supported, or not well supported.

What does their web-site tech support say?

Yes and no. I haven't decided yet how I want to connect it; it depends on

Unable to connect to FTP/SSH/HTTP etc.. using Windows clients

Hi All,



Im running Redhat Linux 9.0 on my server
(co-located). Currently Im using the following services:



-
httpd (apache)

-
ftp (vsftpd)

-
ssh (openssh)



For testing reasons, no firewall had been installed
on the server (yet ). Im able to access the server using client
programs in Redhat Linux 7.4 at my home. However, when Im trying to
access the server using windows clients (e.g. cuteftp, putty and internet
explorer) I get problems:



-
Cuteftp is waiting for a welcome
message, which never comes

-
Putty doesnt connect at all
(ssh)

-
Internet explorer only download the
first 2540 characters (may be little bit more or less)



It seems that all connections fail. This all has
nothing to do with bad connections etc.



Any ideas?

 Personally I think 7.3 is just fine for production servers and that is
 what I use for all my client sites and my own servers.  Very stable and
 although support is officially going away end of the year I think it will
 be around for a very long time.

 After reading about all the problems people had with 8 I would stay away
 from it.  They changed a LOT of things with 8 (like new versions of Apache
 etc) which caused a lot of things to break.

RH9 runs apache, vhost, pri and sec mx's, pri dns and nntp all without a

Redhat 9 - vsftpd and xinetd

2003-06-12 Thread Sebastiaan Mangoentinojo
Title: Bericht



I'm trying to get 
vsftpd on my freshly installed Redhat 9 server to work via xinetd, mainly 
because I want to restrict ftp access to the localhost (for a php script). I 
tried using hosts.allow and hosts.deny like I did in the past, but I couldn't 
get it to work (I cleared there contents in the end). So I decided to use xinetd 
and downloaded the xinetd/vsftpd script and installed in /etc/xinetd.d. It 
seemed to work at first, but now I keep getting "500 OOPS: could not bind 
listening socket" messages when I try to connect locally. It worked before I 
added the only_from statement in /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd. After some tweaking 
(different IP's, subnets etc) the ftp daemon was acting weird and I removed the 
only_from statement in /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd. Restarted xinetd a few times with 
"service xinetd restart", rebooted etc. But couldn't get it working anymore (the 
500 error). I even removed /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd and installed a fresh copy, 
reinstalled the RPM (removing /etc/init.d/vsftpd every time). I don't get any 
errors in /var/log/messages.

So I did a netstat 
-an only to discover something listening on 0.0.0.0:21.So I stopped xinetd 
did netstat again, but now0.0.0.0:21 is gone. So how come xinetd is 
stating that it could not bind a listening socket? Or I'm slowly realizing that I 
don't fully comprehend the whole inetd/xinetd setup of my machine. Is it so that 
some services are still started trough inetd, while others start trough xinetd? 
What's the point of this? And since I can't find a inetd.conf file anymore how 
do I figure out how inetd is configured? Can anyone point me in the right 
direction? I'm especially curious if someone can explain the Redhat 9 setup for 
inetd/xinetd, non-standard location of conf files etc.

Thanks in 
advance.

RE: Redhat 9 - vsftpd and xinetd

2003-06-12 Thread Sebastiaan Mangoentinojo
I figured it out after reading trough the /etc/init.d/vsftpd file. I had
to move /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf to /etc/vsftpd.conf (default location)
and edit the file to remove the line standalone=yes. It seems that
Redhats way of using non-standard locations for conf files is what could
me into trouble.

   128M isn't enough to run kde and anything else.  Don't run kde or
 gnome.  Try blackbox, sawfish, or the like.  Be sure to install and use
 less memory hungry apps.  Galeon instead of mozilla, abiword instead of

updatedb: broken pipe

2003-06-12 Thread michael . bartlett
Title: Message



Hi 
all,

I've done a few RPM 
updates (through red-carpet) and a perl module or two (cpan) over the last few 
weeks - can't remember exactly all of the details. But today I noticed that 
updatedb is broken. If I run it, it thrashes and thinks for a very long time, 
then right at the end I get a broken pipe.

I'm assuming that 
something I have updates has died a sad death, unfortunately updatedb is a 
binary - so I'm not sure exactly what is trying to be piped where. Could anyone 
give me a suggestion to help me look in the right direction 
please?

Cheers
Michael

Adam,

As far as I remember you need this in your config:

IfModule mod_userdir.c
UserDir public_html
/IfModule

Then in /home/$user/ create a dir public_html. Whatever goes in there is
what is mapped to www.domain.com/~user. I can't remember if there was
anything else one had to do to the config - but I'm sure with that config
snippet you can google a bit and find some more info.

Re: /etc/cron.d directory

2003-06-12 Thread Michael Mansour
644 resides on the cron file with root owner and root
group.

Not executable as it's 644.

I'd expect it's run as root since I just dropped the
file in there (created it in there and set
permissions), although a crontab -l -u root doesn't
show it listed, looking in /var/log/cron it does get
loaded but the commands don't seem to get executed. I
tested this by cron'ing:

* * * * * ls /proc  /tmp/proc

and by running the above as a script like:

* * * * * /root/listproc.sh

the file wasn't created.

Dell is pleased to announce availability of Red Hat® Linux® 9

Installation instructions and important information documents, including
the list of known issues and workarounds, are available at the URLs
below.

PowerEdge

Precision

Additional information is available at http://www.dell.com/linux


Red Hat Linux 9 Professional is Red Hat's consumer operating system
that may be used by small businesses for web infrastructure and for
desktop installations.  Many of the feature enhancements from the
previous version are designed to assist small businesses set up their
network infrastructure or desktops.

Red Hat Linux 9 Professional is the LAST version of the Consumer family
of operating systems that is available for system vendors such as Dell
to offer with a platform, either pre-loaded or included in the system
packaging.  It is strongly recommended that users of Red Hat
Professional in server environments begin the planning process for
migrating to Red Hat's Enterprise family of products.

Red Hat no longer offers certification for the 'Consumer' family of
products. While every effort has been taken by Dell to insure correct
operation of the software on our hardware, formal certification is not
available.

Re: SNMP question

2003-06-12 Thread Leonard Miller
What you can view depends on what part of the mib tree you are walking.
at the end of your snmpwalk statement, add iso or enterprises

snmpwalk -c $COMMUNITY $HOST iso
snmpwalk -c $COMMUNITY $HOST enterprises

or you could specify the mib 

snmpwalk -c $COMMUNITY -m /usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt $HOST

and see what that gives you.

  Hi,
  It can really depend on the phone you've got, how you are connecting it
  and if the GSM phone itself has a full builtin modem. Can you give us a
  few more details
 
  Yes and no. I haven't decided yet how I want to connect it; it depends
  on what is expected to work best. We're mainly talking about laptops
  (well, that's nearly obvious, isn't it?) with IR support, though, so the
  alternatives clearly include IR and a PCMCIA based setup. Also, I need a
  solution that supports different users who may have different types of
  phones, but they can all be expected to be quite recent. Mine is a Sony
  Ericsson T68i...

 To clarify a bit more: I don't need one laptop to be able to connect using
 different phones (although the ability to do so would be desirable), but I
 do want to set up several laptops, and the brand of phone linked to each
 won't be the same. The setup should be essentially the same on all
 machines from the user's perspective.

Hm... I agree with the previous poster that it really depends on the phone eg. 
whether or not it's data capable, and how you plan to connect the phone to 
the laptop. Phone that can browse the web are usually data capable. You 
also need to know how to connect to the ISP/gateway. Depends on the service 
provider ot the phone, some of them has it's own.

This maybe rather un-related, but for example, I've been using my Sprint phone 
that is data capable to connect my laptop to the internet. It connects to the 
computer as a USB device (got to buy the special data cable to do so), and 
then all I needed to do is to write the chat script and use pppd to connect 
to the service provider. It works beautifully, really cool especially when 
used when travelling.

The laptop is running Redhat 7.3

Hope that helps.

RE: Desktop Speed...

2003-06-12 Thread Jonathan Bartlett
The benchmark for usability cannot be measured by an automated program.
Using economic jargon, it would have to be measured in utils/hour where
utils is the utilitarian amount of work one is able to do in each system.
This cannot be measured by application startup speed or even application
running speed.  It has so many variables that it can only truly be
measured by itself.

Honestly, I personally _favor_ anecdotal evidence to benchmarks, because
anecdotal evidence takes reality into account while scientific methods
tend to not do so.

 originally based on/stolen from DEC's VMS qv:

 Anyway, the problem is, the more you fiddle with Windows, trying to get it

 The system is VERY snappy.
 
  From a cold start Kmail loads up and is ready to use in less then 10
 seconds. Evolution opens up in a comparable speed as well.

 When you say cold start do you mean from powered off?
 Or do you mean you just booted the system and logged into KDE,
 then you click on the Kmail Icon (START WATCH)
 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9... Kmail is up and ready to use?

Here what I tried. In FVWM2, I started kmail, took about 4-5 seconds for it to 
be ready to use. And then, I kill kmail, go to the TTY2, and start *another* 
X with KDE 3.0 (using startx -- :1). So I go to CTRL-ALT-F8 to go the second 
X, and start kmail (after KDE finish booting up) and took about 2-3 second. 

I assumed the one in FVWM took longer because it didn't have some of the KDE 
stuff loaded when it start (like the DCOP server...whatever that is). 

Keep in mind also that I have services running all the time: sendmail, apache, 
mysql, postgresql. I even run setiathome. This is Athlon XP 1.7, 256 MB RAM.

I disagree that X is slow. KDE / Gnome may be slow, but X by itself is not. 
It's inface really really stable. I don't remember the last time I restart X. 
And with FVWM, I run continously 16 virtual Desktop, Mozilla with 6-15 tab 
browisng, KMail, at least 7 xterms running continously, all kind of other 
stuff such as XMaple (scientific/mathematics program), konqueror, etc. Kmail 
and Mozilla's been running for more than a week without restart.

On the other side, I have Win2K here that I rarely use, except to test few 
stuff (for web development). It will sitting idle most of the time, and with 
no apparent reason, while sitting idle, a pop up comes up from time to time, 
'Winblows is low in virtual memory... yada..yada..yada. WTH? I checked the 
virtual memory and RAM; 512 MB and 128 MB respectively. And it sits 
idle... only way to fix it: Reboot.

Winblows are crappy. Coupled that with the price, the needs for virus 
protection, all kind of useless update, the (lack of) stability for the 
machine, the price for every piece of software you need to have (yeah... try 
install just the OS you can't do no work... compare it just installing RH 
distro), I honestly can't see why anyone still use winblows.


 But the WIndows Apps are much more polished in appearance, and in
 consistency of GUI and Keystroke commands
 The cut/copy/paste worked in amazing ways that you never really
 appreciate until you try to do the same thing from
 an Xterm to Mozilla, or from Konqueror to OpenOffice.

And someone else (can't find the post) mentioned that it needs to be more 
standardize solution in Linux desktop (eg. mail client).

I think that's just not right. The beauty of using Linus is that: You, The 
User, Has the *choice*. You can use anything you want, do anything you want 
with your system. I agree, there needs to be more standard in the *format*, 
but not the program/client itself. Not everyone like Kmail, or Evolution. 
Some people loves Mutt. There needs to be freedom in the electronic / desktop 
world too.

About consistency, again, Windows Apps are consistence because the all use the 
same API. You can't compare that with the inconsistency between Gnome apps 
and KDE apps. All KDE Apps that uses QT are consistent, and so do Gnome apps 
with GTK (or whatever). But here in linux world, you have more choice, you 
can take the best of both (or whatever) world.

2003-06-12 Thread nikolo
Hi again,
after several hours searching, finally! I got a beta 2D XFree86 4.3.0-5 
drivers for my video card from

ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/radeon-igp/

Thanks to the FTP Master(I suppose M. Harris) :))

But now, I have another question. The microprocessor built in my laptop 
is an AMP Athlon mobile 2400+.

I installed redhat Linux 9 but it starts with i686 architecture.
Yesterday I downloaded a new kernel from up2date (I supposed it was 
installed automatically) but when I restarted the laptop choosing the 
new 2.4.20 kernel from grub, it continued showing Redhat 9 Linux 
(Shikre)...bla bla bla ... i686.

Can I do something to solve this?

Thank you.

Get the rpm package from your CDs, go into the top directory of your

Following the manual page of cpio you can adjust this to your liking.

As far as I remember you need this in your config:

/IfModule

Then in /home/$user/ create a dir public_html. Whatever goes in there is
what is mapped to www.domain.com/~user. I can't remember if there was
anything else one had to do to the config - but I'm sure with that config
snippet you can google a bit and find some more info.

The path to /home/username/public_html needs to be searchable (executable)

Number of SCSI busses scanned

2003-06-12 Thread Joseph Noonan

Hello all,

I have a strange problem with my SCSI setup.  I have a system with
an adaptec 29320, a virtual SCSI-IDE, and an adaptec 2930.  So
this is 4 scsi busses, 0-3.  The hardware is like this:

29320 ChA  -- scsi0

two seagate disk sda,sdb

29320 ChB  -- scsi1

one seagate DAT drive

SCSI-IDE virtual controller -- scsi2

one plextor DVD

2930 -- scsi3

really intended to be dedicated to a scientific instrument,
currenty has a CD hanging off of it for testing purposes.

Now the outpust of dmesg shows all 4 busses, and I can mount a CD
on sr0 on scsi3.  But the contents of /proc/scsi/scsi don't show
this drive and therefore it doesn't get assigned an /dev/sgX which
I need for the instrument control.  It seems as whatver populates
/proc/scsi/scsi only loops through three busses even though the
kernel detect all 4.

Anybody know how to talk it into scanning that last bus?

Thanks,

PCI USB Card Causing Problems

2003-06-12 Thread Joseph A Nagy Jr
Although I no longer have the device in question (got pissed and gave it 
to my future bro-in-law), I have some questions that I'd like answered 
before I blow another $20-$40 on a USB PCI card.

I bought a rather generic (forget the brand) USB card for my box so I 
can use my scanner and web cam (currently the only two ports on my box 
are taken up by my keyboard and mouse). I figured I could just plug the 
card in, turn on the box, and kudzu would detect and help me configure 
the damn thing. Not. A. Chance. Once we got to loading modules and 
mounting drives, I got an error message stating something along the 
lines of mount /proc/partitions: only root can mount, it'd go through 
loading some modules, then when it came to mount /, it'd drop me down to 
an error message stating I needed to enter ro maintenance mode, but that 
wouldn't work because the USB modules wouldn't load! I removed the card 
and figured, okay. Lesson learned. Uh-uh. Same problem w/o card. Wound 
up reinstalling system completely (which took about half a dozen tries 
and two days due to various errors). I tried at first to do a fresh 
install with the card. Everything seemed to have gone fine, except when 
it tried to load the modules for the card, it'd kill the module for my 
keyboard and mouse and the X Server wouldn't start! Another half a dozen 
tries later I finally have a working system w/o the USB card. The card 
supported USB 2.0.

WTF happened? Does RedHat not support PCI USB cards?

Failure to connect USB flash drive

2003-06-12 Thread Toralf Lund
Please refer to the below Q  A from the USB FAQ. One of our customers 
is seeing this behaviour right now. The weird bit is that the setup has 
worked in the past, and as far as I know, the hardware or BIOS (or OS 
installation) haven't changed at all. Any ideas what might cause this 
problem to start occurring all of a sudden?

Mainboard: Abit KD7
OS:Red Hat Linux 7.3
Kernel:2.4.18-17.7.x

Q:  Why doesn't USB work at all? I get device not accepting address
A: You may have some problem with your PCI setup that's preventing your
USB host controller from getting hardware interrupts. When Linux submits
a request, but never hears back from the controller, this is the
diagnostic you'll see. To see if this is the problem, look at
/proc/interrupts to see if the interrupt count for your host controller
driver ever goes up. If it doesn't, this is the problem: either your
BIOS isn't telling the truth to Linux (ACPI sometimes confuses these
things, or setting the expected OS to windows in your BIOS), or Linux
doesn't understand what it's saying.
Sometimes a BIOS fix will be available for your motherboard, and in
other cases a more recent kernel will have a Linux fix. You may be able
to work around this by passing the noapic boot option to your kernel, or
(when you're using an add-in PCI card) moving the USB adapter to some
other PCI slot. If you're using a current kernel and BIOS, report this
problem to the Linux-kernel mailing list, with details about your
motherboard and BIOS.

Re: [Fwd: RedHat recommended backup technology]

2003-06-12 Thread Brad
You may also like to investigate rsync. It is very fast and is perfect for 
backing up over a network to another hard drive. I use it to back up a 24x7 
file server 4 times per day. It happens on the fly in the background and it 
only transfers the parts of the file(s) that have changed - hence it's speed.

Regards,
Brad

 GNU tar is leaps and bounds ahead of traditional tar in several
 respects, but is backward compatible.

 if you don't want to go that route, use find to restrict
 your search to a single filesystem, and consider using cpio.
 lots of possibilities, but i'd start with tar.

 and if you want to do CD-based smaller backups, i've heard
 good things about a utility called cdbkup.

difficulty getting SCHED_RR to work.

2003-06-12 Thread Ancha Madhav-MANCHA1
Hi,

  I am experimenting with the scheduler on Linux 2.4.X  (Red Hat 7.3) and am
unable to get processes to time share with the SCHED_RR policy. They seem to
operating in a FIFO manner even when their scheduler is set to Round Robin.
Does you know if Round Robin scheduling works on linux 2.4X? Also, there is
some behavior that I observe that might help understand what's happening.
When I do a ps after I start prot (the main program), I see two processes
with name prot. So it probably means that the child never got execed. I
tried putting in a sched_yield() within the fork() of the parent but that
didn't help either. The parent still kept going on. When I put a sleep(1) in
the fork() of the parent, the child gets to run but never gives control back
to the parent. Any ideas? Enclosed are my test progs.

with thanks,
Madhav

add-in cards provide an independent USB bus to which even more peripherals

postgresql-perl in RH9

2003-06-12 Thread Andrei Gaponenko
What happened to the postgresql-perl RPM package
shipped with RH7.x-8.0?   

Perl scripts containing 'use Pg' are broken under RH9,
since the Pg
module (*not* DBD::Pg) is gone.  I assume one can
still grab the
module from CPAN, but WHY is the rpm package gone
without notice?  It
was not deprecated, and the change is not even
mentioned in RH9
release notes...

If it was not dropped by a mistake, what's the
suggested procedure to
migrate old scripts using Pg to RH9?

Re: Boot from Red Hat CD and restore from tape?

2003-06-12 Thread Fred Whipple
I would actually recommend using a full Linux distribution on a CD type 
distributions instead.  I have a GREAT one that I have no idea what the 
name is :-)  But it fits on a 3 250MB CD-RW (I think it's a whole 50MB, 
actually), and I never walk into the data center without it.

These Linux-on-a-CD distributions are much more functional than a Red 
Hat boot CD, and typically come with every tool you can think of to help 
you fix your system.  Partitioning a disk and restoring an OS from tape 
is a trivial task from one of these CD's.

Re: postgresql-perl in RH9

2003-06-12 Thread Andrei Gaponenko
Hi, Brian.

 Install the postgresql-pl package. It was moved into
 there. It is in the
 changelog of the postgresql package. (not obvious,
 but findable)

The postgresql-pl package is installed (actually I am
looking at a system with everything from RH9
distribution installed):

sam ~$ rpm -ql postgresql-pl
/usr/bin/pltcl_delmod
/usr/bin/pltcl_listmod
/usr/bin/pltcl_loadmod
/usr/lib/pgsql/plperl.so
/usr/lib/pgsql/plpython.so
/usr/lib/pgsql/pltcl.so
/usr/share/pgsql/unknown.pltcl
sam ~$ 

No sign of Pg.pm.  The postgresql-pl package contains
server-side procedural languages, it has nothing to do
with the former postgresql-perl. The postgresql-pl
changelog claims otherwise:

- Make postgresql-pl obsolete postgresql-perl,
not postgresql-plperl

but this looks very much like a mistake.  
postgresql-pl and postresql-perl are two really
different
packages, though the names may sound similar :(

Thanks,
Andrei

Chris, the warnings are telling you that when it was updating your xinetd
packages it was going to write out new configuration files for all the
services that xinetd controls.  However, it tries to play nice and does not
want to overwrite any files that are already there since they might have
been modified by you, the end user.  So, up2date just put these files out
there with the .rpmnew extension.  If you have not modified any of the files
in the /etc/xinetd.d/ directory, then you can safely copy the .rpmnew files
to the name without .rpmnew and you will have the latest configuration files
that come with this package.  However, chances are nothing major has changed
in these files and you don't need the .rpmnew files.

So, it's up to you on whether you need these files or not.  After you make
that decision and do, or not do, the copy, it will be safe to restart
xinetd.

  I'm sure most of you know this, but there's a simple way to detect

  nmap -sT -p 1080 network/netmask
 
  For my internal network I use
 
  nmap -sT -p 1080 192.168.2.0/24

 How can you differentiate between bugbear and a socks proxy using
 this technique?

Using nmap alone?  I don't think that would be very informative.  Using 
an IDS like snort looking for signatures, telnetting into port 1080 
(knowing the protocols you're looking for),  and/or tcpdump/ethereal 
capturing the network data would all be more efficient at determining 
what's up.  Bear in mind that there are other trojans that can use port 
1080 as well.

Re: rh9 samba + ldap NOT THERE

2003-06-12 Thread Mark Bradbury
attached samba.spec for samba 2.2.7 from redhat-7.3
But I have also built samba on redhat 8 with a similar spec file

 Hi Gordon,
 
 Did you build from srpms?  what version of
 samba, 2.2.5 or 2.2.7?  I can use any type
 of authenicatoin under my 2.2.5 that I built,
 but I am getting continued weirdness from 2.2.7...
 I've set the smbpasswd -w secret yet it's failing
 to get it and failing to authenticate via the ldap
 server... and I've double checked everything on
 it.  If anyone has a samba.spec that builds an
 rpm from srpm that works with ldap and samba 2.2.7, I'd sure like
 to have a peek at it... I'm going back to 2.2.5
 for now.
 
 Cheers

  I mean that yesterday I installed an LDAP enabled Samba package that I'd 
  built on a Red Hat Linux machine, and it promptly stopped accepting 
  authentication.  I did not change the configuration files during the 
  upgrade.  It would not work until I converted all of my 
  /etc/smb/smbpasswd data into my LDAP directory.
  
  AFAICT, you have to use LDAP if samba is built with support for it.

Re: Which version of RedHat for production systems (Gavin Durman)

2003-06-12 Thread Richard Gardner
Our organization is currently in the pilot phase of migrating from
different versions of RH 7.x/8.x/9.x(very few) to RH Linux AS.

RH Linux Advanced Server will incorporate a more formal direction for
RedHat re: their support strategy for long term corporate health.
And... If you think about it, it not only is wise for them, but a good
idea for a medium to large business that wants to promote internally
that Linux is friendly.

With no issues of licensing costs, having developed a formalized and
stringent training certification process and offering paid for AS
support, it not only shows corporations that it has grown up, but also
that you can see the added value of being able to dev on an
unsupported system, test on a low-end support system, and publish onto
a full RH AS supported production system.

I am not sure whether or not the source code will remain free as in
beer, anymore, but customer support, I believe, will retain non-kernel
source code freedom as in speech. 

It is good to see that Dell is being proactive, albeit perhaps not
clear, about their need to switch the pre-configured systems default OS
install for servers.  

Peace.

Syslogd functionality

2003-06-12 Thread Naman Latif
Hi,
This probably is the wrong forum for this but I really need some help. I
am stuck with using Syslogd on Solaris and it doesn't have the
capabilities similar to he Linux Syslogd e.g. using the *.=info
options etc. Is there some syslogd (Free\OpenSource) for Solaris that
can provide this functionality ?

Regards \\ Naman

  Although I no longer have the device in question (got pissed and
  gave it to my future bro-in-law), I have some questions that I'd
  like answered before I blow another $20-$40 on a USB PCI card.
  (((big snip)))
  
  
  FWIW, I have an off-the-shelf USB 2.0 PCI card that works flawlessly
  in RH8. You need to have the ehci-hcd module loaded for USB 2.0 to
  work. And for those who say that PCs only come with 2 USB
  portsmine came with 4 builtin with another add-on adapter for
  four more!
  
  jb
  
  
 
 Okay, fine. But why did I get that error message about mounting 
 /proc/partitions and lose use of my keyboard?!
 


My guess would be that it has to do with the ordering of USB probing during the init 
on boot. You could try to add the following two lines to your /etc/rc.local to see 
what happens:

/sbin/modprobe usb-uhci
/sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd

Josep, don't ask IBM for more memory. See if Kingston has some to fit

Please refer to the below Q  A from the USB FAQ. One of our customers 
is seeing this behaviour right now. The weird bit is that the setup has 
worked in the past, and as far as I know, the hardware or BIOS (or OS 
installation) haven't changed at all. Any ideas what might cause this 
problem to start occurring all of a sudden?
Sometimes 'All of a sudden' is exactly how computer problems show up. 
This is from 6 years working as computer support. Have you tried any of 
the suggestions in that FAQ?

Syslog Problem (RH9)

2003-06-12 Thread David Hart
Log management is a daunting task for a noob since there seem to be
numerous similar conf files in numerous similar places.

I have about 1,500 null zones defined for Bind. Any time I have to
reboot, I end up printing the 1,500 zones, line by line in Messages
which makes diagnostics a horror since other items are scattered within
the 1,500 zones.

I have tried to create a new log Named; that won't work. I have also
tried to turn off named service entries in syslog and that doesn't work
either.

I really don't need a DNS log at all. Any suggestion on how to turn off
the superfluous information would be much appreciated.

*shakes head* It was ordered like that on my clean install WITH the 
card. had a problem with the ehci-hcd module and lost use of my keyboard 
although it booted up properly.
