If running Red Hat, running control-panel and selecting the time machine will allow
you to set either
the system clock or the hardware clock.

i'm still new at this myself, but i was unable to connect to
mindspring using the rh-ppp connection setup tool until i turned on
the option 'let ppp do all authentication'. that seemed to do the
trick for me. (there are instructions on the mindspring website (now
deeply buried within earthlink) for setting up a dial-up connection

Hi,
I've installed RH 6.1 on my new PC that has one of these Intel i810
graphics cards integrated into the motherboard. I've managed to
download the X drivers from the Intel site so that X can take advantage
of the card. However, if I try and run certain programs they coredump
with no information. Programs include emacs, ghostview and Xfig. Other
apps (such Netscape and GNOME terminal) work fine. Has anyone
encountered this, and do they know what to do? Alternatively, how do I
find out WHY these progs coredump?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Greg

Does your version of RH have "mkbootdisk", this should do the trick.
I am assuming you are using a SCSI tape device (/dev/st0). This
requires support for scsi_mod, st, and your SCSI adapter; either
built-in or as loadable modules. See "man bootdisk". After booting
you can see if your drive is detected by using "dmesg | less".
You should see something like this: (edited)

Actually, the article was reposted, not crossposted. *This* article

This is a diald FAQ, although I just didn't see it at
<http://www.loonie.net/~eschenk/diald/diald-faq.html>. Let me phrase
it as a FAQ entry and CC them.
6.12 Dials starts pppd ok, but then kills it saying the connect script
timed out. What's going on?
You're probably seeing a message like this in your system log:
diald[8847]: Connect script timed out. Killing script.
Almost certainly, you have written a connect script that starts pppd.
This is wrong.
The only thing that the connect script must do is connect the modem
to the peer, and get it into a state where pppd may be started.
This may sometimes include sending your username and password to
the other side through your chat script, but usually not even that.
After the connect script has exited successfully, diald will start
pppd by itself.
Take the connect script you already have for pppd, and use that
for diald.
Ciao. Vincent.

Can someone please post an example of a valid hosts.lpr file?
I have a two machine network at home. One machine (192.168.0.1 running
RedHat 6) hosts the printer and is little more than a firewall. My
second machine (192.168.0.3 running RedHat 7) is the machine I do all
of my work on.
>From what I have read so far, I need a hosts.lpr file the /etc

containing just 192.168.0.3 but that didn't work.
I set up the printing on the 192.168.0.3 machine using the printtool
program. It looks like everything is okay, but when I try to test
print an ASCII page, nothing comes out. I'm assuming it has something
to do with the hosts.lpr, but if anybody has any other ideas, I'd be
glad to hear them.
The printer is an HP DeskJet and is hooked up through lpd.

You can not secure PC's perfectly when someone with bad intentions has

Subject: Problems with RH 6.2 and Raid
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2000 13:43:46 GMT
Hi,
I�m a new linux user and I�m having problems installing redhat 6.2. I
post this message in another forum but nobdy answer me. Please, I need
an answer. Any help will be helpfull.
I want to install Linux in an old computer (P-133 S, mother triton VX,
16 Mb of Ram and two IDE disk 270Mb each, 32x cd- rom), build a small
server an do probes. I like to make a raid device with those two HD's at
installation time, but I had some problems...
First, I read that in the GUI mode (Disk Druid), it can be done, but the
installation program start always in text mode whatever I typed at the
BOOT prompt (I don�t know why).
After that,I tryed to do a Kickstart installation (it has commands to
do raid devices at installation time). I finished the installation and
after reboot, Linux did not start properly.
I did 2 swap partitions of 20 Mb, one in each disk. 16Mb raid level 1
for /BOOT and the rest (raid level 0) for /. This is what I read in the
manuals and I was allowed to do.
When the system boots, it says that can not mount root fs but I think
that the /BOOT partition is working fine becouse it seems to boot up
properly so far mounting root fs.
Now I do not know what can I do...
I will appreciatte any advice from anyone. Thanks,
Andr�s

The printer is hosted on the firewall you say? Is the firewall allowing
lpr connections or denying them? Your hosts.lpr file sounds valid.
BTW, not being preachy but why does firewall box double as print server,
it is better not to do this.

Please don't multi-post. I just saw this same message (and wrote an
extensive reply to it) in another newsgroup. It's usually only
appropriate to post to one or two newsgroups. If you MUST post to two or
more, enter all the newsgroups' names on one Newsgroups: line, separated
by commas. (Details of how to do this may differ somewhat from one news
reader to another.) This posts ONE copy of the message, but it's visible
to ALL the newsgroups you specified. This saves bandwidth and readers'
time, and ensures that replies are visible in all the newsgroups, too
(assuming those who reply don't change the Newsgroups: line).

I just went into dselect and since I have an "unstable" directory in my

there seems to have been a problem in some of the configuration, and now I

there is a "undo" feature in dselect, allowing me to come back to my

Subject: "Deselect" Boot Framebuffer?
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2000 14:45:08 GMT
No response after a coupla weeks in a Turbolinux newsgroup...
Updated a TL 6.0 Intel install for the new 2.2.16 kernel security patches.
No big deal and everything went very smoothly.
However, the video mode with VC 7 (X graphical login) seems "compressed" as
it now confines itself to about roughly half the available pixels as before
in the center of the screen. The regular consoles are OK in that they still
seem to use all the available pixels. Only X seems to miss these pixels. It
also has a few annoying vertical narrow bands of "noise" which are not seen
in regular console modes. It's all there, but compressed and a bit noisy. I
vaguely recall seeing similar differences when running console graphic mode
for viewers like "seejpeg" etc.
This is *NOT* a virtual terminal problem. Been there, done that, and wasn't
a problem at all with the original 6.0 install. I checked the XF86Config in
a backup version and it is identical. Again: *NOT* virtual terminal deal. I
did notice the boot process appears to use a slightly different font now in
the console display, as well as initially post the Tux thumbnail on startup
(unlike the 6.0 boot process).
It seems to be something to do with framebuffers, which seem not to be used
(or more "normally") on the older kernel (2.2.13, maybe?) from TL6.0 CD-ROM
I used. I would like to signal the kernel at boot (and perhaps LILO) to use
either a compatible framebuffer mode or even better, just deselect it for a
"usual" boot and more "normal" X. The "deselect" information wasn't obvious
to me in any of the documentation I found including the otherwise excellent
notes at:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Framebuffer-HOWTO.html#s4
Video card (ATI Rage) excerpt from dmesg:

What a ludicrous idea. Where did you hear this?

uhm? where did I say that?
I said, open and net variants are for other markets. Wich leaves...
FreeBSD as a very serious option, IMNSHO (besides, this is also crossposted
on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc, too. :)
where did you hide the "windows 2000 was significantly slower then linux"
remark, btw? *poke*

*browse* www.beowulf.org
yep, clustering.
there are a few distributed filesystems, but,
anyway, that wasn't what we were talking about.
at least, I thought this was about finding 'the right os' for expensive
a-brand peecee SMP hardware for a fileserver over an unspecified protocol,
I assumed SMB or Netware.
FreeBSD can do both, I gater (whereas *I* don't use either).
my two cents: get yourself an experienced un*x admin, and run freebsd,
bsdi or a decent linux distribution (this list is in no particular order ;).
although micros~1 wants you to believe it's products don't need admin'ing,
my experience is, that leads to ``others'' attempting doing that,
and that won't work.
I wouldn't reccomend solaris/x86, because if you're going to spend BIG money
anyway, you'd better get yourself The Real Stuff, a Real Administrator
and a Sun Support Contract. That'll cost ya, but It Will Work[TM].
