Subject: Sighold and sigrelse?
Date: Mon, 05 Apr 1999 21:12:26 GMT
In Solaris there are two functions, sighold and sigrelse, to hold a given
signal,
and to allow a given signal to pass. These functions do not seem to be
available under Linux. Are there equivalent functions available?
(note a previous poster posted the same question to this newsgroup back in
october 1998 and got directed to "man 7 signal", unfortunately that is just a
list of possible signals, not signal functions.)

Jun,
If you compiled MD into your kernel, that's only half the battle.
You next need to get the latest RAID tools...
(from Kernel compile help)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD:
This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one
logical block device. This can be used to simply append one
partition to another one or to combine several redundant
hard disks to a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against
hard disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the
combining of the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID"
means that the combining is done by a dedicated controller; if you
have such a controller, you do not need to say Y here.
More information about Software RAID on Linux is contained in the
Software-RAID mini-HOWTO, available via FTP (user: anonymous) from
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini. There you will also
learn where to get the supporting user space utilities raidtools.
use mdconfig to set up the array, mounting tools and fun accessories
are included.
Take care, Art...

connected to a HUB. You will also see blinking green and orange lights,

Subject: Simple Redundancy/Failover?
Date: Mon, 05 Apr 1999 23:22:44 GMT
Has anyone written any software providing simple redundancy/failover
capability?
For example, say we have 10 proxy servers (Squid) running. Lets place
another dedicated machine in front of them which will look at all
incoming proxy requests and send the request to the 10 proxy servers in
a round robin fashion. If the machine we've decided to send it to isn't
available (ie no heartbeat) send it to the next one?
Has anyone seen or even thought about this sort of "proxy"? A whole
group of proxies (or any stateless TCP service for that matter) would be
known as 1 unique ip address which would be balanced among several
machines?

The Lotus folks say their server port should be out this summer. It
didn't need a lot to port from Solaris - primarily some networking
tweaks. They do not plan a client port for Linux desktop users but
Notes R5 access by browser has almost all the functionality of the
Notes client.

Date: 6 Apr 1999 01:47:35 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
I am currently having a problem using the RCS "co" command under RedHat
Linux 5.2 using an NFS mounted volume. Here is the physical situation:
I have four Linux boxes running RedHat Linux 5.2. The first one has all
the user accounts defined on it and the rest use Yellow Pages to get
user accounts from it. I have the "/home" partitions from the various
boxes NFS mounted by each of the other boxes. Here is an excerpt from
the /etc/fstab file of the first one:
/dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
[snip]
box2:/home /home_2 nfs rw,bg,intr,soft 0 0
box3:/home /home_3 nfs rw,bg,intr,soft 0 0
box4:/home /home_4 nfs rw,bg,intr,soft 0 0
I have my RCS archives on the first box. When I try to reserve (check
out) a revision from a machine that has the RCS partition as an NFS
mount, I successfully get a local copy of the file, but the RCS file on
the NFS partition has been wiped (a file of the correct name is there,
but it has zero length!) If I try to reserve the file from the machine
on which the RCS partition resides, everything works perfectly!
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions as to why this is
happening and how I can fix this? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

It does work if you install another network client or something in the
networking bit in control panel. Can't remember what. Make sure you
have client for ms networks installed. I remember i got it to work by
installing some thing in the network bit.

Date: Mon, 05 Apr 1999 19:58:41 -0400
Hi,
I have used the below approach with Linux. I don't use the "p" in the
second tar. Make sure that you do this as root (on both machines -- or
both disks). Also I only use the second "v" to make sure that the untar
is happening ok. I figure that if the untar is working then the tar
must have worked. The dir and the "-" should be reversed in the first
tar. If you use the "B" in the second tar you should also use it in the
first.
Since you are copying between two disks, I assume that they are on the
same machine therefore I would do this:
mount <to disk> /mnt
cd /
tar cf - `ls -1 | fgrep -v /mnt` | (cd <target dir>; tar xvf -)
mkdir /mnt/mnt
The ls gives all the files except the /mnt directory (so that you don't
recurse). The mkdir creates the /mnt directory which you didn't copy.
Or a better approach might be to boot from a floppy and mount both disks
to avoid the issue of the recursion totally. Then neither will be
contained in the other.
Hope that this helps
Henry

Date: Tue, 6 Apr 1999 11:04:08 +0800
Hi all,
I'm a newbie for linux. I installed RedHat 5.2 one month ago. My video card
is DataExpert's DSV5357 with 4M SGRAM and the resolution I selected is
1024X768. The problems I met are:
1. The card can't work under 24bpp.
2. Under 16bpp the X works fine except all kinds of "Terminal" applications.
I tried xterm, gnome-terminal, KDE terminal. All of them had the same
problem. The "terminal" programs caused the whole system hang for a long
time, e.g, I list the directory, the files are displayed line by line in a
very very slow speed. At this time the whole system almost hang, even the
mouse can't be moved and "ctl+alt+backspace" doesn't work. Sometimes the
display inside the "terminal" overlapped.
3. If I select 8bpp, everything works fine include the "terminals".
If someone has any idea of these problems or had the same experience as
mine, please help!!!
Thanks ahead! :-)

It has improved. It's gone from a wide-open door to a closed door with
a sign saying "I'm unlocked and there's lots of valuables inside. Rob
me.". The links off the page I posted make for interesting reading. In
addition to the inherent security problems, FrontPage users also seem
to tend towards an attitude that makes them more vulnerable to attacks
than need be. This can be a problem because you can bet _they_ aren't
going to accept the blame when someone hacks their site using a hole
they've left open ( or that FrontPage has left open ). From the other
side I'd personally be leery of having my pages hosted on a site that
supported FrontPage, because of the risk to me of someone exploiting
the holes in the system that I can't close because they're inherent in
FrontPage ( eg. the use of easily-cracked single-DES encryption for
passwords held in files that, without extreme care on the part of the
hosting admins, can wind up being accessible to a cracker ).

The problem is that Linux isn't descended from Microsoft software, it comes
from the Unix world and brings along the Unix terminology which predates the
Microsoft terms by a decade or so. A lot of us prefer Linux precisely because
it doesn't resemble Microsoft's way of doing things, and seriously wonder
why someone would want to start learning it by dragging in baggage from a
world we use Linux in order to _avoid_.
Eg: "mouse" vs. "pointer". I _never_ associated "mouse" => "cursor on the
screen". I always associated "pointing device" => "cursor on the screen",
with "mouse" being one possible pointing device. In fact, mice probably
make up the minority of pointing devices I deal with regularly. I'd been
dealing with GUIs for 5 years before I ever came across the notion that
the pointer on the screen might be called the "mouse cursor".

How about "You elected to move to Spain, learning Spanish should have been
an obvious prerequisite to doing this. Yes it would be nice if the natives
know enough English to help you, but are they really _obligated_ to do so
just because you decided to move here?".
