Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2000 15:09:24 +0000
I have Apache installed on my Redhat 5.1 box with which I am hoping to
try out some perl CGI programming. I can browse the index page using
Netscape (from the same box) no problems. However when I try to browse
from my Win98 box the browser cannot find the index page of the Linux
Mach.
I have posted to this NG rather than a Win98 NG because of the following
error message on the Linux machine
"httpd: cannot determine the IP address of the specified ServerName
(server).
hp = 0!: Connection timed out"
Would anyone have any pointers to why I cannot browse from the Win98
box? I have the line
89.0.0.17 myserver apacheserver
in my etc/hosts file (exact syntax).
Any ideas very welcome.
Many thanks.

Subject: / file system full
Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2000 08:22:10 -0700
RH6.1 on a x586
I installed an rpm today when I noticed a message "Need 1k from /
filesystem". I Checked the / filesystem
with the df command and it shows / at 100% usage. I haven't been able to
find what is taking up the space. I
have removed approximately 4Meg of files from the root directory but it
still shows 100% full. I allocated 245 Meg for /
partition on install. I have separate partitions for /boot, /home, /var, and
/usr & /usr/local. I ran du -shk on each
directory using the full partition and get this:
4566 bin
107 dev
2275 etc
19268 lib
12 lost+found
3 mnt
1136 root
4049 sbin
3 tmp
I checked these numbers against a second RH6.1 box and the numbers above are
all smaller. The only difference I can find is in the /proc/kcore file on
the problem box is around 67M and 33M on the other. The 2 machines are
configured in very much the same (245 meg / partition size). I checked to
make sure there were no a.out or core files laying around.
I would greatly appreciate any help from one of you more experienced linux
users.
Thanks,
Gary

I have the full version of wordperfect and love it. I used staroffice
for a while, but it seemed to crash without warning. if I could trust
it, it would actually be the better choice, since it has so much more
functionality than wordperfect. However, corel has already said it's
porting it's entire office 2k suite to linux, not just the
wordprocessor. I read from their site that they focused on the word
proc. first because it was the most important. according to the press
release on their website, the office suite should be released in april.
I'll be waiting in line to get it.

Subject: SMB and ip masquerading
Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2000 23:46:35 +0800
there are 3 linux machines, one is firewall
one is behind firewall and one is outside firewall
and there are few Windows PC behind firewall
linux A ------- linux B (firewall) --------- linux C
|--------- 5 PCs
Windows98 installed
linux B is running IP masquerading
( /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQ )
all linux machines are running SAMBA
the Windows machines can see linux C, linux B in network neighbourhood
but Windows machines cannot see linux A
Both linux A and linux C have the same /etc/smb.conf
I have set the IP of linux A in lmhosts on Windows machines
linux A cannot access linux C using SMB, for example:
> smbclient -L wadlab
Added interface ip=202.185.10.215 bcast=203.185.30.239
nmask=255.255.255.240
timeout connecting to 192.168.0.2:139
Connection to wadlab failed
Btw, no logs are generated after typing this command
I am suspecting if it is due to the firewall
maybe it cannot handle SMB forwarding (or proxying).......
any idea? Thank you.

As far as httpd goes, I had the same problem with my laptop.
I solved it by putting the following line into the
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
file:
ServerName my-server-name-here
This solved the problem of starting up httpd.
As far as your hostname goes, are you using the proper command
to get the hostname in your prompt? What happens if you just
type `hostname` at a prompt? AFAIK, if you have HOSTNAME set
to what you want it to be, then the machine should have that
specific name (at least to users on that machine...DNS entries
are a different story...)

Subject: Re: How can I see a linux partition from windows?
Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2000 15:53:14 GMT
If you want access to the whole directory tree then the last option
sounds best. If you just need a few directories of files that you can
share between Win98 and Linux why not mount a small windows partition
under '/share/' and save files to that. Browsing 'E:' under windows
would give you access to this directory.
For example, if you had a series of html pages that you want to work
with under both operating systems but don't want to have to remember to
copy the latest version to the windows partition, just create the html
page in the /share/ directory and create a link to it in whichever
Linux directory you prefer to edit your html pages in.
So I link '/home/neil/html/index.html' to '/share/index.html' so that
whenever I use windows, the most up-to-date version of 'index.html' can
be found at 'E:\index.html.'
E-mail me if this doesn't make sense and I'll send you a step-by-step
guide.

Hi
I run linux SuSE 6.3 with KDE environment. I have a Miro PCTV that I
want to make work under linux. I have succeded but not completely. The
tuner seems to work, amd I get the images. But I have a problem with the
sound. Indeed no sound comes out of the PCTV card. If I have understood
what I read, there is a chip on this card for the sound, something like
msp3400 (not completely sure). There is a module of the same name that
was created when I recompile my kernel. I do an insmod with it, it
loads, but when I do a lsmod, I see it is an unused module. So maybe
there are parameters to load or something like that I don't know.
Anyway, if someone knows what happens or already solved such problems, I
would be happy to get some help...
Thanks in advance! :)

Subject: Removing Lilo?
Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2000 16:18:46 GMT
I have a box which I want to triple-boot with DOS, Linux, and Solaris.
Originally, it had DOS. Linux was then installed using all remaining
available disk space on the first disk (two 4 GB hard drives installed).
Solaris 8, for reasons unknown to man, requires space on first disk to
install. So, Linux was removed. However, Lilo was not removed properly, so
it always starts on boot. Typing DOS at boot prompt does properly boot into
DOS, but I'd like to remove Lilo completely, so that it will boot straight
into DOS. Then, I'll install Solaris. Then, I'll install Linux and
configure it so it will boot into any of the three (I know how to do this
with NT's boot loader, never tried it with Lilo, but I'll cross that bridge
when I get there).
Question is, how do I remove Lilo? I read a HowTo page off of Linux.com,
but the options described there don't seem to work. Running fdisk /mbr when
booted into RedHat Linux 6.1 (Gnome Workstation install) doesn't work.
Since Linux was uninstalled improperly (e.g. "operator error"), I don't have
a file in the requisite subdirectory of /boot to dd back. Format /s from
DOS doesn't work.
Sorry if this is obvious, but I'm clueless on what to do here. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Since this newsgroup is busy, any
replies to my e-mail (kingcrim at earthlink dot net) are fine as well.
TIA

solaris (I only know the sparc version but suppose x86 is similar) comes
with its own Xserver which I think (but am not sure) is from Xig. XFree86
is also available. KDE and Gnome should work I suppose but solaris comes
with CDE.

When I first crashed linux so badly that it wouldn't boot, I didn't
have a clue how to recover it and get to the point that would allow me
to copy a file across. I'll probably never need it now but I find it
hard to recommend against anyone else installing 'explore2fs' because

Err .. You'll need the lookup in your Win98 hosts file

Having it in your Linux /etc/hosts is good for anything originating from

With ProFTPD the ls command is built into the server executable file.
Unless the user can write that file he can't delete the command. And no
user should ever have write access to system executables, so this is not
a problem unless it's a clueless administrator.
And for other FTP daemons, if the user manages to delete the ls command,
he'll still be able to use FTP but just not list any files, which is a
minor inconvenience.

It may be that some process has "deleted" files open. Such files do not
get released from disk until the process dies. (I think that you can look
for such files by running "grep --text deleted /proc/*/maps".)
(/proc does not exist on your disk. It lives in the imagination of the
kernel only. /proc/kcore is the system in memory, so their different sizes
just tell you that you have more physical memory on one system than on the
other.)

This is the standard C++ library that goes with egcs-1.1.*, and also goes

I found my first Linux distribution daunting due to the vast amount of
programs that it installed. This guide:
http://linux.hjc.edu.sg/HOWTO/Linux-From-Scratch-HOWTO.html
advises how to create your own minimalistic Linux build from the freely
downloadable source code. I'm currently doing this with the latest
stable releases of source code for the kernel and a few programs which
have newer, more stable versions available. Anything else that I need
can be installed from the original distribution cd I picked up.

Subject: IP alias and portfw
Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2000 16:51:20 GMT
I'm trying to allow multiple pcAnywhere connections on my network.
I've got a RH 6.1 box with kernel 2.2.14 running, and I've aliased the
external interface on it, and then added some port forwarding. Here's
a rundown of my startup script:
#add the aliases (eth0 is 200.200.200.3 taken care of by network config
script)
ifconfig eht0:0 200.200.200.4
ifconfig eth0:1 200.200.200.5
route add -host 200.200.200.4 dev eth0:0
route add -host 200.200.200.5 dev eth0:1
#configure masquerade / deny unsolicited incoming packets
ipchains -F
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 10.1.1.0/24 -j MASQ
echo "1" /proc/net/ipv4/ip_forward
#allow in one of our software vendors
ipcahins -A forward -s 100.100.100.20 -j ACCEPT
#allow in me from home so I can telecomute :-)
ipchains -A forward -s 150.150.150.100 -J ACCEPT
#forward the pcAnywhere ports to internal boxes
#box 1 (eth0 -> 10.1.1.53)
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 200.200.200.3 5631 -R 10.1.1.53 5631
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P udp -L 200.200.200.3 5632 -R 10.1.1.53 5632
#box 2 (eth0:0 -> 10.1.1.72)
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 200.200.200.4 5631 -R 10.1.1.72 5631
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 200.200.200.4 5632 -R 10.1.1.72 5632
#box 3 (eth0:1 -> 10.1.1.145)
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 200.200.200.5 5631 -R 10.1.1.145 5631
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 200.200.200.5 5632 -R 10.1.1.145 5632
If I pcAnywhere into 200.200.200.3 (eth0) I connect fine. If I try
either of the aliased addresses, I get a timeout. Internally, I can
connect to box 2 and 3 using their internal IP (10.1..), so I know the
service is running. I have a sniffer program on another machine on the
internal segment, and see no traffic going to the internal pcAnywhere
host. What am I missing?
Thanx for your help
