Subject: DHCP: fallback_failure: Connection Refused
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2000 23:50:03 GMT
I have a DHCP server running on a P166, with RedHat 6.2, it has 2 NICs
both of them are 3Com. This server works fine but its getting old and
one of the hard drives is failing. So I am replacing this machine with
a P400, with RedHat 6.2, which has 2 NICs, both of them are also 3Com.
I have made the two machines identical, same /etc/dhcpd.conf, same
/var/state/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases, same route tables, same IP addresses
for eth0 on both, and same IP address for eth1 on both. I shut the
first machine down and start up the second and DHCPD runs great
but...whenever a client requests an address I get the error:
fallback_failure: connection refused
Does anyone have any idea what this means? I'm thinking it maybe
something with the MAC addresses but I don't know. This really has me
stumped and any help would be appreciated. If I can't figure this out
I'm going to start hearing about how Windoze NT would be sooo much
easier to administer, and why shouldn't we try switching to NT. NT
makes me sick.
Thanks in advance,
Charlie Altman

As you are running SuSE 7.0 you can simply ignore the dependencies
if you have indeed loaded all the other rpms by "rpm -Uvh --nodeps xx"
I have had no problem with going this on two SuSE 7.0 systems at home.

A segmentation fault indicates a rough program trying to
use memory not allocated to it. This is a unix/linux protection
feature. You can usually find who is the problem by running
a strace on the offending program.
i.e. "strace lyx"
strace is on SuSE 7.0 CD's if you didn't load it by default.

Check out hosts.allow and hosts.deny old machine versus

it's in the nework config not really a HW problem.

Subject: Question on saving the desktop
Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2000 01:28:22 GMT
I am running RH 6.2, Enlightenment and GNOME. Every time I log onto the
system with my user account I have to setup my desktop the way I like it. I
open "File Manager" and move it over to the top right of my screen where I
like it. I then enlarge the "File Manager" window the way I like to see it.
I then save the session and logoff and check the box telling it to save my
settings. When I log back on nothing is saved. "File Manager" is a SMALL
window again back in the upper left side of my screen! Is there a way to
save my desktop after I get it setup the way I like it like in "MS Windows"?
Thanks for your help.

Subject: affs (Amiga filesystem) mount problem
Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2000 01:41:44 GMT
I have an IDE HD from my old Amiga that I'd like to access from my
Linux box, but I can't seem to mount it; I get the
"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc1,
or too many mounted file systems" message no matter what I try.
I'm using the Linux 2.2.15 kernel with affs compiled in and I have the
following line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdc1 /amiga affs noauto,user,exec,verbose 0 0
(I've tried a few different options there, but they made no difference).
I have the HD as secondary master. It only has one partition (FFS with
directory cache formatted under WB3.0, IIRC), so I first tried to use
'/dev/hdc', but that didn't work either and 'fdisk -l /dev/hdc' sees it
as /dev/hdc1, so I assume that's what I should be using.
The docs for affs don't tell me anything and neither did a web/deja search
(several people with the same problem, but I couldn't find any answers).
I'm hardly a filesystem expert, but I have managed to mount a CD drive
and my Win95 HD without problems and I can't see that I'm making any
obvious errors here.
Does anybody have any hints as to what might be wrong?

Pretty difficult, yes. I'm currently unable to install a second copy
of WinNT on a computer with one WinNT and one linux already installed.
It installs fine, then on reboot says it can't find its kernel. The
other WinNT and linux boot fine.
The problem appears to come from booting it in hda2 starting at 6GB
(way below 1024 cyl, as is the whole 2GB hda2 partition). Moving the
partition down another 2GB lets it boot. Unfortunately the space doen
there is already occupied with the other NT installation, so it can't
go there.
Maybe I should ask for the license money back. It doesn't work.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2000 02:14:12 GMT
I want to set up an old 486PC to monitor a telephone PBX system.
Major requirements are:
1. Able to run a terminal session over a serial port to operate
PBX console session.... this is nothing special, any terminal software
should handle this. ( Hyperterm under Windows will do this)
2. Able to emulate a serial printer (via COM2 serial port) to
capture PBX activity logs to a file on disk. Can this be done with
any terminal software, or is something special required?
Can a regular terminal software product do both of these task
concurrently?
I have never attempted to emualte a serial printer device... can
anyone offer tips, or point me toward a how-to that will help describe
how this is done?
Thanks,
Henry

Subject: tar command
Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2000 02:09:37 GMT
I am trying to tar up my windows partition. I've tried twice to tar it
using tar -cvzf /mnt/tar/windows.tar.gz /mnt/oldwin.
Each time, I get about an hour into it and it quits saying:
"gzip: stdout: No space left on device"
I'm not sure what that error means, but I am sure that the partition
that the new .tar.gz file is going to is large enough to hold the file.
The file pukes at 1.8 gig (which is nearly finished). The partition
that the file is going on was created especially for it and is 5 gig (a
gig larger than the /mnt/oldwin partition).
Should I try tarring and zipping separately?

It could have something to do with the maximum file size is Linux being two
gigabytes.

First off, posting to ONE newsgroup is sufficient. Followup's set to

Since you're using Enlightenment you can right click on the menubar of the

The command for reassigning IRQs manually
is setserial. Read man setserial. You
may have to experiment a bit to find
the IRQs that suit your situation.
If you find an IRQ number that works for
you, you will want to insert the appropriate setserial
command in one of your startup files so
you don't have to issue it manually every
time you want to use the PCI TVcard. I used
/etc/rc.d/rc.local for this purpose on RH.
For instance, in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local,
I inserted the following:
/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq 7
which assigns IRQ 7 to my modem.
This will make more sense after you study
man setserial a bit.

Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2000 03:38:48 GMT
You can do this easy! I have a JetDirect EX external ethernet print
server. The first thing you should do is upgrade your printing package
to LPRng-3.6.26 (or later) from http://www.astart.com
Get the ifhp, and a2ps packages also links available from previous
site.
Make sure your GS and FILE binaries are up to date.
here is the printcap I use:
# printcap
# primary printer name
lp
#alternate names
|ljps|ps|pdf
|HP LaserJet (hp5p) printer PS,PDF,TEXT,more
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:lp=/dev/null
:stalled_time=240
:ifhp=model=ghostscript,gs_device=ljet4,appsocket,status@,dev=192.168.1.60%9100
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
The above setup will handle just about anything you can thow at it...
Even works on non-postscript printers (like mine).
you may need to change the gs_device= setting and toggle status@ back
on. read the excelent LPRng-HOWTO at:

Setserial's settings have to match the hardware's settings. I think,
although I don't know from direct experience, that the ability to
change the kernel's interrupts is to match serial controllers that
have more than four ports on them. My one desktop machine uses ISA,
it's THAT old, and the others all have PCMCIA, so I'm not sure if
interrupts are software-resettable for USB or even PCI cards.
To _reset_ the interrupt that the kernel uses to match the setting on
the card, setserial has an option called auto_irq.
Anyways, you can view a kernel's current IRQ and port configuration
using cat /proc/interrupts and cat /proc/ioports.

The Serial-HOWTO and Serial-Programming-HOWTO are very
detailed. It seems that you can do almost anything with
the serial ports. On my distro the HOWTOs are in
/usr/doc/HOWTO and /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini and can be found
on the web at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/
