Hi all,
Help! My Pc is running RedHat 5.2. I downloaded the updated glibc RPM
package for upgrade, but I got the following error.
root@maemb1:/tmp>rpm -Uvh --force glibc*
glibc ###unpacking of archive failed on file

After that, I think my libc.so.6 has been corrupted. I can't do

restore the my libc.so.6.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

I think so. What if your hard drive(s) really crashed, so you bought and installed
a new one? All the MKDEVs you did in the past are probably forgotten. If you have
them backed up, you should be able to restore them.

I do not know all that much about Beowulf, but it seems to me that you better use
the clustering facilities of the DBMS you are running. Otherwise it will be
difficult to be sure that the commits really work, that the system logs and backups
are done properly, and so on. Furthermore, data distribution and query optimizations
may not work correctly if the dbms thinks it is running everything on one machine
when you have actually distributed it around unknown to it.

Naturally. I run SETI@home at nice +19 in the background. If I do nothing else, I
use only 50% of the CPUs because it was designed to run on only one processor and
does not use much system time. OTOH, when I run IBM DB2 server and some other
compute intensive foreground processes, I can run the machine to where the idle
time is typically 0.2%. So running SMP does not make any single process run faster
(unless it was specifically designed to run SMP, perhaps), but it does make the
entire workload run faster.

What machines have only 64k cache? I have dual Pentium-IIIs, and _each one_ has
512K cache. The 2.2.14-5.0.14csmp kernel works hard to resume a suspended process
in the same CPU as it was before to increase the likelihood of good cache hit
ratio. I have seen other processors for sale that have up to 8 Megabyte cache per
CPU.

Hello,
We have an intranet with about a hundred machines. Internet usage

Some people change their IP address to other which belong to someone

How can catch this IP address stealing?

In the bad old days, when you could use only 64K bytes per process, machines
did not always even have a floating point processor or floating point
op-codes. To use the functions in libm.a you needed a lot of instructions to
simulate the floating point operations of PDP-11's that did have a floating
point processor, so some versions of libm.a were quite large. Since most
programs needed libc.a, but few needed libm.a, they were separated so those
who did not need libm.a could use the memory for something else.

That happened to a buddy I was helping made that mistake. He uses RoadRunner
as his ISP and I told him to get the IP. He called RR and said,
"Hi, can I have the IP addresses to the DNS servers, I'm setting up my Linux
box."
Their response:
"Sorry. We don't support Linux."
Hahahaa, idiots. He wasn't asking them _how_ to do it. Just for the IP's so he
could do it himself.

The "dos2unix" program would be the easiest way to eliminate
the "^M" characters. MS-DOS text files have this same problem.
I can usually only see these characters in an editor such as
"joe". Most users probably do not know that they are there.

Well, me too, My answer for this issue is www.rpmfind.net. Under, on
the left, each package is everything that is required, and a link to the
package that contains it. This method has not failed me, yet. Of course,
after a while, it gets to where you HAVE them, already, for many
packages.

Hmm. I wonder what vmware has to do with writing to a Windows partition...
What I've done is create a group (i.e., GID 60) called winc. Add that
user to that group. In /etc/fstab, for options on that partition, add
gid=60,umask=002.

Thanks for the reply. Actually the kernel image is a bzImage. But
curious that one lilo can write the mbr and the other cannot.

Check your core files using either the 'strings'

this:
find / -name core -exec strings '{}' | less ';' 2>
# continued # /dev/null
But for the sake of brevity, you may want to see
if there are recent core files, if there are many,
by checking the file creation dates.
Hope this helps you. I'll re-send this reply

So that supports my suspicion that the map file is the culprit. Now,
question is, if lilo creates it, and it works from one partition,
what is the problem creating a proper map file so that the same two
kernels can be located when using the lilo in the other partition.

Subject: hlelp - ldconfig isn't updating my shared library cache
Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2000 12:36:37 GMT
Help,
This question is related to a post i made earlier regarding a shared
library problem with Nessus. That post and a reply are below. Redhat
6.2, kernel 2.2.14, running on a sun sparc classic.
The question i have is
(1) libnessus.so.1 does exist in /usr/local/lib
-but-
(2) when i run ldconfig -p, none of the libraries in /usr/local/lib
are showing up, even though /usr/local/lib is in the ld.so.conf file
and i ran ldconfig (i even rebooted for good measure ;-) ). The
output of ldconfig - p shows libraries in all the other directories
listed in ld.so.conf (the only modification i made to the ld.so.conf
was to add /usr/local/lib; otherwise it has the default directorys
listed).
Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be wrong given that
/usr/local/lib isn't getting into the shared lib cache even though
/usr/local/lib is in ld.so.conf?
Could I create links in /usr/lib to point to the relevant files in
/usr/local/lib? I really don't understand links that well and am not
sure if this would work, but am not sure what else to do.
thx in advance,
jeff

I don't know about GUI lilo apps, but the results

As root, edit your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file and use
the "correct" format. The format you have is backwards.
The correct format is:
<login name> * <passwd>
