Hi. In trying to export a filesystem from a RedHat6.2 box
to either a RedHat5.2 or a Solaris 7 client I get
mount: RPC: Program not registered
when I give the mount command on the client. On these machines
rpcinfo -p gives
on the 6.2 server:

Can anybody see what is going wrong here?

clients are successfully mounting various filesytems
from a different Solaris server.

Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2000 16:24:01 GMT
I have Redhat 6.2 running on a Dell box that has been running like a
champ since I got it.
I haven't noticed any significant problems with it but I have developed
a failure message when shutting down that says,
"rpc.statd forgot to set AF_INET in udp sendmsg. Fix it!" (rather rude
I thought)
In addition to this error message my /usr will not unmount, "device or
resource busy". To me, I always thought that was a result of a hung
process but I can't think of any process running off the /usr that would
be hangin.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I did it the other way, so as not to confuse my shell scripts. I just setup a
second userid, and run the second instance there. I set the time for the cron
to be different so they would not contend over the dial-up telephone line. It
works now.

The last time I checked, it did a nice +1 by itself, and that is not nearly
enough to keep out of my way. I have made mine both do nice +19 and that seems
to be fine. Each of them is getting about 47% of the cpu cycles (I am not
running much else at the moment. It I try to populate a database or something,
they drop way down.

It certainly would be. When I first started, setiathome would not dial up, so
I set up the scripts to check if it were running, if the dial-up line was up,
whether the work was done, whether I could ping SETI@home's web site, etc.,
and to do its thing. I understand that the latest versions of setiathome can
do this by themselves, but I have not changed anything to make that happen
since my scripts work OK.

Subject: Debian Slink and .xsession
Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2000 16:57:25 GMT
I've got a pretty strange situation. First, my system:
AST Ascienta J30 laptop
Debian (Slink) Linux
Blackbox Window Manager
Whenever I log in, if there is an .xsession present in my home
directory, the wm will *not* start, it locks for a couple seconds and
returns to xdm. Doesn't matter if there's anything actually IN the
.xsession file, just it's presence causes the restart. Doesn't matter
if I'm root or not. Very strange.
Any ideas?

I have two machines, one with 2 Western Digital Caviar drives on IDE, and this
one with two Quantum Atlas 10000 drives on Ultra-2 SCSI controller. The only
benchmark I have that most Linux users would be familiar with is Netscape. It
loads in 1.5 seconds on this machine and in 15 to 20 seconds on the old machine.
The new drives are probably not 10x faster in and of themselves, but the process
is mostly disk limited. I think one reason is that the new drives have a
2Megabyte cache buffer inside, whereas the IDE drives have only 128K and 258K
cache buffers. I have so much memory that swapping is probably not a
consideration. This allows considerable read-ahead with the SCSI drives that is
not possible with the IDE drives. Now nothing prevents the drive manufacturers
from putting equally large cache buffers in their IDE drives, but they do not
seem to do it until a year or so after they do it in the SCSI drives.
In a paper by DELL, they discuss the differences between SCSI and ATA drives.
They have a graph of cache buffer sizes that I will represent in a table, since
graphs are problematical:
Half Year MB SCSI cache size MB ATA cache size
2H98 4 2
1H99 4 2
2H99 7 2.5
1H00 7 2.5
2H00 16 4
1H01 16 4
In other words, the SCSI units get first choice of the improved technology, and
only later does the stuff percolate down to the lower status units.
A similar table for rotation speed:
Half Year RPM SCSI RPM ATA
1H99 10,000 7200
2H99 10,000 7200
1H00 10,000 10,000
2H00 17,500 10,000
1H01 17,500 10,000
2H01 17,500 10,000
And for average seek times:
Half Year Seek Time (ms) Seek Time (ms)
SCSI ATA
1H99 6 8.5
2H99 4 8.5
1H00 4 6.3
2H00 4 6
1H01 3.5 6
2H01 3 5.5
Other important issues are the size of the cache buffers, and the strategies for
using them.

Subject: Partition destroyed?
Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2000 19:06:36 +0200
Hi,
I had an hard drive with 2 partitions, win98 on the first one, linux
on the second one. After reinstalling win98, I was horrified when I see
that my linux partition didn't seem to be recognized: the win partition
has not been enlarged to fit all the disk, it kept its previous size,
but I can't see any more my linux partition! Event partition magic tell
me that I only have one partition... :-(
So well, my question is that is there a frequent problem with win98,
which has a solution (I could dream...)?
Could it be as well the boot sector which would have been destroyed?
(what would be the solution?)
Or may be a problem with the superblock of the linux partition? (i
don't think so, but it is just a supposition)
Please help!!

char-major-4 is driver for ttyS?, i.e. serial ports. Did you compile the
serial port support as module? If so, put the following line into the
/etc/conf.modules ( or /etc/modules.conf) :
alias char-major-4 serial

IIRC your .xsession needs to terminate with a command which starts
something that remains running until you terminate your X session
altogether. Typically, this is an xterm. When you quit that xterm,
the xsession is terminated, and you are returned to xdm.
If your .xsession executes a series of commands, all of which
terminate, then your session will end immediately (similarly if the
.xsession is completely empty).
All the best,
Julian Midgley

If you run Red Hat 6.0 or higher, and trust linuxconf, you can do it
trivially by pointing and clicking. As root, do control_panel&
Select bottom button ("System Configuration).
Config->Users Accounts->Normal->User Accounts
Select the user.
Select Disk Quota Tab
Fill in the boxen.
If no quotas are established on the file systems you wish to work on, you
must do similarly, but
Config->File Systems->Set quota defaults, and so on.

I do not think you need say anything about guests. My /etc/smb.config is:
valinux:jdbeyer[/etc]$ cat smb.conf
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2000/07/02 17:35:23
# Global parameters
[global]
server string = Samba Server %v on %L (%h)
interfaces = 192.168.1.250/24
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
domain logons = Yes
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
print ok = Yes
browseable = No
It is true that when I boot Windows 95, it prompts me for a password, as it always
did even before I got this machine and ran Samba on it. It now wants my password
for this machine instead of the old machine. But no additional passwords to print.

About 10 years ago, I worked for a little company building such stuff. We
found it easier, for small office telephone systems, to build the whole
thing with a "PC' with about 20 ISA slots and plug in a lot of Dialogic
telephone boards (interfaces to telephone lines, trunks, T1, etc.,
switches, etc.) boards. For larger systems, we would get a switch from
RedCom, Summa4, etc and control them. We did control an AT&T Dimension PBX
once in the more distant past, but that was when working at AT&T, so we
could get the needed information. Even then, we did a "brain transplant" in
the PBX because the "cpu" in there was so inadequate. I have not kept up
with current technology.

I have that trouble a lot with my Red Hat systems. One way to reduce
the problem is to put everything than monkeys around with PATH in the
.bash_profile file, not the .bashrc file. As I say, this reduces the
problem, but it does not eliminate it. There is a lot of undocumented
stuff that goes on when you boot the system and when you login that
diddles the environment. Maybe it is documented, but it is too much
trouble to find it, so the fact that I get repeats in my PATH is
something up with which I put. ;-)

Why did you change the three letters?
If it was in the file with tcp, it was probably like that for a reason.
Try again, this time changing it back to tcp.
Ano no, you don't need to reboot.
Just restart the inetd daemon.
/sbin/init.d/inetd restart

And this has what to do with someone in Hungary?
He's already explained that the web is very expensive to access there, which
is why Duh Management want to stop unauthorised employees...
Hungery isn't exactly the most financially stable country out there y'know.
Why start a debate about it? What's the point?

Subject: Lilo removal from mbr
Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 17:25:04 GMT
I want to take out the 2nd hard drive which contains Linux and move it
to another computer. How do I get rid of LILO in the mbr? Should I
reformat my linux os since I'm going to another system? Should I do this
before I take it out of my first system?

Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2000 17:55:04 GMT
Hi,
THIS LINUX PRINTING IS DRIVING ME NUTS.
I have been trying to get my EPSON Stylus COLOR IIs (TRIGEM) printer
working on redhat 6.1 for about three months on and off,
"UNSUCCESSFULLY" of course.
The problem is that i want to print using black ink-cartrege,
as most of my printing is black documents.
I have tried various Ghostscript devices, uniprint drivers
read the docs over and over again, posted on the net....and
done many unmentionable things but to no avail.
The closest i have come to getting some sane output is
with the following GS options
gs -sDEVICE=stcolor -r360x360 -dnoWeave -descp_Band=1
-sOutputFile=\|lpr fileName.ps
and
gs -sDEVICE=stcolor -sModel=st800 -sOutputFile=\|lpr fileName.ps
they both give me ouptut that is elongated in length and the verticals
lines are mis-aligned.
Is anybody out there who has successfuly printed with
EPSON Stylus COLOR IIs (TRIGEM) printer using black ink-carterege
Please Please Please Please Please help me out herex
cause it is a real bother booting into windows again and again
just to get printouts.. and i cant buy a new printer just yet.

Yes, via samba - use smbmount.
