Disk drives (both fixed and removable (Zip, Jaz, etc.)) are /dev/sdXN
where X is a letter: a = first, b = second, c = third, etc. (fist to
last == lowest to highest SCSI Id) and N is the partition number.
Tape drives are /dev/stN, where N is 0, 1, etc. from lowest to highest
ID number.
CD-ROMs (including CDRs and CDRWs in RO mode) are /dev/scdN, where N = 0,
1, etc. from lowest to highest ID number.
*Every* device is also accessable using the generic SCSI device:
/dev/sgX, where X = a, b, etc. a = ID 0, b = ID 1, etc.
Warning: /dev/sgX should not be used for disk drives, tape drives, or
CD-ROMs. /dev/sgX can be used for INQ SCSI requests and are used for
SCSI scanners, and by cdrecord to *write* to CDR and CDRWs.

How do i make a bootdisk for /dev/hde1 on a hpt370 dma controller on an abit
kt7-raid mb?
The floppy drive is a ls120 too. I have tried following instructions in the
bootdisk-howto and the faqs, but no joy.
If not, how would i boot into linux using loadlin from dos? I installed
win98 and it overwrote lilo. When using the rescue utility on the redhat cd
(moved hde to hda) it cannot lilo the disk because /dev/hda cannot be opened
or superblock cannot be written to.

Also:

rpm -qia [list package names and info]
To check whether a package is installed if you are not sure what it's
called:
rpm -qa | grep -i midi
To find out where a program is located (say join):
which join
To find which rpm it comes from
rpm -qf `which join`

Check /etc/ftpaccess
do 'man ftpaccess' to see the options. I think it has the functionality

They will be whatever you want them to be; the kernel uses the device major
& minor nodes, not merely its *name*, and provides you with /proc/devices
to see what's what.
...
Oh OK then. /dev/sd[abcdefg] for SCSI HDs, /dev/stN or /dev/nstN for tapes,
by convention of your /dev/MAKEDEV.SH alone.

Yes, indeed, that's what I looked at in order to formulate my comment.
It still looks like half-a-con-job to me! I've been on SERC (or
whatever) junkets before! The target of the "seminar" is not clear -
who would you find in the oxford area who didn't at least know enough
about the *bsd and linux to know the difference between "public domain"
and GPL? The target can't be businessmen surely, for they'd need to
know that at once.
So, come clean. Why are these people from assorted universities a bit
further north and west hiring a college facilty for the day and coming
down to oxford to give a seminar aimed at it's-not-clear-whom, and not
letting any of the oxford people involved with linux and the *bsd in?

Subject: Re: Linux Routing
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 13:03:38 GMT
Excellent guys, you are all helping me out a lot.
Now if I setup ipchains to masq the internal subnet... is it hard to
do? I have setup ipchains before, but never with 2 different ways for
the packets to go. It was a DG and that was that.
If I try and setup ipchains, will I have to include routing info as
well, or will the ipchains setup do all of that for me?
For example:
|
((FRAME RELAY to other co.))ip: 24.231.34.202, sm: 255.255.255.248
|
|
eth1 (ip 24.231.34.203, DG 24.231.34.202)
|
((LINUX BOX))--eth2(ip 64.3.65.2, DG 64.3.65.1)-----INTERNET
|
eth0 (ip 172.16.0.4 does this need a DG or should it have 2?)
|
|
|
INTERNAL LAN (172.16.0.*, DG 172.16.0.4)
Ok, now that is the setup I believe we are all talking about, right?
Is setting up ipchains going to be hard for this? The rules etc? Will
I need any route adds at all, or will ipchains take care of all routing
for me?
Here is what I am thinking for ipchains rules, but I could be wayyyyyy
off:
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i eth1 -s 172.16.0.0/16 -d 0.0.0.0/0
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i eth2 -s 172.16.0.0/16 -d 0.0.0.0/0
Would this be all I would have to do to accomplish this, or will the
destination of say the first (eth1)entry have to set to something. How
will the linux box know which nic to send the packets out on? Is it
just that smart?
Sorry to ramble on, but you guys are helping so much, I figured I would
just lay the whole thing out here and see what you had to say..
Thanks again!

Subject: libc versions?
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 12:58:20 GMT
Hi,
I've recently tried to install Informix (no wait! Don't go yet!) onto
my Slackware v7.1 system.
The docs for Informix state that it needs glibc v2.0.7.
Well, I thought, Slackware v7.1 comes with glibc v2.1.3 so I'll be
alright.
However, when I tried to install it I get the following messages :
error: failed dependencies:
/bin/sh is needed by ids-7.30.UC10-1
ld-linux.so.2 is needed by ids-7.30.UC10-1
libc.so.6 is needed by ids-7.30.UC10-1
libcrypt.so.1 is needed by ids-7.30.UC10-1
libdl.so.2 is needed by ids-7.30.UC10-1
libm.so.6 is needed by ids-7.30.UC10-1
/bin/sh is needed by ids-7.30.UC10-1
I checked my system and I have libc.so.5. How come? And where can I
get the necessary libraries from?
Thanks for your time.

RedHat passwd has a bug. It prompts before it is ready to receive
input. Humans are slow (relatively speaking) so this normally isn't
noticeable. Alas, Expect is fast enough that by the time passwd is
ready, Expect has already sent the password. So passwd sits and waits
and Expect sits and waits. It appears hung.
A simple workaround: Briefly pause before sending the password. A
tenth of a second is probably sufficient but of course since the
passwd program makes no guarantees, I can't either.

Greetings!
I've got my desktop and laptop talking to each other (ping, telnet). I'm
having trouble with ftp and nfs.
The man pages and the how-to that's on all the webservers aren't too
helpful. I'm not sure:
(a) what I'm supposed to put in fstab
(b) for the syntax for mounting is.
Any tips or on-line references?
Ftp will also bring some questions up (trying to figure out how to
configure access) but let's start with nfs first.
One machine is Mandrake 7.0 or 7.1, the other is RedHat 6.2.

I presume so. But maybe yes, maybe no. Does it matter? They probably
have a more recent version in the works, and they probably expect system
admins to be able to cope.
: How come an earlier version of the glibc seems to have files
: of a LATER version?
??
You'll have to be quite careful about giving informix the environment
it wants. I'd put the libraries it needs in a special directory,
and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to that directory in a script that calls
the informix executable. But be attentive. They might be doing a bit of
the same thing in scripts of their own.

Hello,
Strange thing is that after I installed Helix Gnome, gnorpm will Seg
Fault any time I select a package. Just by clicking on the package in
the listing will cause it to Seg Fault. I then tried to install some
RPM's by using the gmc file manager and it worked! But when I try to get
info on the RPM package by using the filemanager gmc, I get the same Seg

Any reasons for this ?

Well, there's the NFS-HOWTO:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO
Here's a brief summary.
On the server:
Make sure the nfs service is running -- $ /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
Make sure that the nfs service is set to start at startup
Put the filesystem(s) to be exported and the clients in /etc/exports:
/home client1(rw) \
client2(rw)
/usr/local client1(rw) \
client2(rw)
Export the filesystem(s) -- $ /usr/sbin/exportfs -a
On the client:
For testing purposes, try mounting by hand:
$ mount -t nfs server:/home /mountpoint
When that works, you can add the entries to the fstab:
server:/home /mountpoint nfs defaults 0 0
server:/usr/local /mountpoint2 nfs defaults 0 0
Then they will be automatically mounted at boot time.
Notes:
The mountpoints must exist.
"server" and "client" above, of course, refer to machine names, and
must be resolved somehow. Putting the relevant entries in /etc/hosts
is one way to do that.
There are a number of options to both the mouting and exporting
processes. Those are explained in the relevant man pages as well
as in the HOWTO.
Good luck.

Has anyone had any trouble with the RedHat dialer after upgrading from
RH 6.2 to RH 7.0. Everything worked fine in RH 6.2 but in 7.0 the
dialer constantly redials after hang-up. Has anyone else experienced
this problem. How would you fix it?

I get a relaying error when trying to send email from a Java program on
a RedHat server to my company's Exchange server. If I use sendmail
command, the message goes through without a problem. I have tried using
the root user and the problem persists. Any suggestions?
