Subject: Backup solution for RedHat 7.0 on Dell PowerEdge 1300
Hello,
I'm looking for a backup solution for a Dell PowerEdge 1300 server running
RedHat 7.0. I'm looking primarily for a) reliability, and b) relatively
inexpensiveness of device and media. Speed is not so important.
SCSI interface preferably.
Can anyone recommend a solution for me, or point me in the right direction
(URL, company). Hardware is not my forte.

Hello,
is it possible to prevent the logging to /var/mail/root for a special
crontab entry? I have a script wich is executed every two minutes and the
file gets rather large....
Thanks,
Marek

I would recommend postfix or Qmail. A webmail interface is at in the works for
postfix. I believe commercial webmail interfaces exist for Qmail. Sendmail is
hard to configure and has a not-so good security history.
http://www.qmail.org
http://www.postfix.org/
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/faqs/RH-postfix-FAQ/book1.html
You would probably like to know that HotMail is run mostly on Solaris
and FreeBSD using Qmail.
http://www.unix-vs-nt.org/
http://www.ugraf.com/unix-nt/jt/unix-nt.nob.html
http://www.bitwizard.nl/unixnt.html
The fact that MS is willing to admit that "Solaris is one of several
OS's being used" is enough to convince me that it is better since
a "wholesale migration to Windows NT server has not yet been
attempted". I would suspect this translates to "we tried it. It fell
on its face so we stuck with our 'Legacy system'." Yes Solaris
networking needs tuning, just like any other system. System
administration is more thatn just popping in a CD as MS would
like you to think.

Best Microsoft Quote ever:
Judy Gibbons, director of the Microsoft Network, was unaware of the
hardware behind Hotmail, but said: "We looked at all the on-line mail
services and Hotmail was far and away the best. It has the most proven
and scalable architecture."
Oh, you might not want to cross post so much. Just posting to the

w98se actually ran a tad (few percent out of already smaller draw so
insignificant but real) worse with a utility. But as I said these
were mobile cpu's. Regular cpu's seem to function differently but I
have not determined if this is a bios related matter. Considering the
original (ms-intel-phoenix-compaq, as I understand it) specification
this may well be the case. There seem to be many views about whether
later w9x versions include this function or not. W95 definately does
not.
The checks were under identical conditions, ie, hard drives not or
spinning which is what I prefer any way since constant spin ups are
probably self defeating in energy consumption (electrical especially
electromechanical starts always have high start up/on power costs) and
also may be self defeating in terms of drive life. for the same
reason. And irritating of course.
Thanks for the "noflushd" utility information.
Regarding the background aps, as I stated the checks were under
ostensibly identical conditions ie., no aps, user driven or directly
controlled input like networking, etc. Just turned on unconnected no
input "idle" state waiting for input so reflecting hopefully native
o/s behavior.

I hear ya, I normally use Mandrake, and have had no problems with it. I
have this old box that has on old Centaurhaul chipset in it and all other
distros that actually install on it upon reboot will not open the kernel,
and it isn't worth trying to recompile it to get it to work. I was just
experimenting with the Redmond version and was suprised when it actually
installed and booted. Once I got in there and started looking around I
noticed it was missing alot of features and said "What the Hell, I'll
experiment with them also" problem being nothing seems to work and now I
see why. I have tried researching Redmond, but don't get many links, so I
appreciate the one to the dev portion of Redmond. I may try to do what you
stated on the Mandrake box and then bring it over to the Redmond. It just
seems that they would have made it alittle more pleasing before allowing it
to be available, but I guess that is the meaning or whay ya have "Beta".
The Redmond is a pretty clean small version if it didn't have these quirks.
Thanks to all that have posted and tried to help. If ya have any more
suggestions then please post.

man autofs. man automount. If you don't get it, you are stuck, because

Subject: ATI Rage Fury Pro and RedHat 7.1 incompatibility
Date: 22 May 2001 15:46:57 -0700
Hi there,
I am having problem installing video card
ATI Rage Fury Pro 32 Mb under RedHat 7.1
I use ASUS P4T motherboard with P4 1.7 Ghz CPU and
ViewSonic PS775 17" monitor.
During istallation from CD ROM the video card is
recognised as generic one. After I pick from the
list "ATI Rage FuryPRO AGP" card and my monitor,
X-configuration test just brings black screen, then
returns back to configuration page. After installation
is complete, I am not able to fire up X; screen blinks.
I also tried to skip X-configuration and configure
the system using Xconfigurator. It doesn't help either.
Please help.
Thanks, Andrei

Ask a hacker to see if he can get in. At www.netcop.com you can scan via

type the IP of the Linux box.

sorry for the stupid reply, but I don't rmember what kind of Toshibas
were those I helped with installation to a few friends. The common
problem for all those was inability to boot off of the homeburnt iso.
After making the boot diskette (image of which is hidden in some ass
corner and tools were useless) did not encounter any problems
whatsoever. All had some S3 Savage IX or something video. Really did not
pay much attention. After installing Solaris and OpenBSD on laptops a
thought of Linux being difficult at all...would not even come up. Just
shrink that ms-wantouz or whatever you call it and install. just go for
it! ;) Excellent distro, btw. They have a mailing list, so you better
ask.

Subject: Matt Blaze's CFS on Linux
Date: 23 May 2001 01:24:08 GMT
Hi,
Has anyone gotten Matt Blaze's CFS to work on Linux?
I downloaded cfs-1.4.1.tar.gz from
http://www.crypto.com/software/cfs-1.4.1.tar.gz
And tried compiling it... It doesn't compile out of the box... and, since
I don't really know RPC, I was sort of fumbling, anyhow...
After looking a little, I thought the problem was that the stubs that
are in the software were named differently in the rpc generated code...
So... (I'm attaching my patch at the end of this message...)
(It seems the linux rpcgen makes server stubs named whatever_svc...)
I made all the changes, and now, I have it compiled, so I do the
mkdir /null
chmod 0 /null
mkdir /crypt
cfsd
mount -o port=3049,intr localhost:/null /crypt
then I do
cmkdir q
and it
seems to hang... perhaps I screwed something up in the changes? (?)
Has anyone gotten it to work?
I was thinking of putting -Wall -Werror into the gcc line,
but that causes _WAY_ too many errors... so, I'm not sure...
Well, I'm just not sure at all, since I don't know RPC...
Any help appreciated,
Thanks in advance... (The patch follows)

You could get a Card Reader. Your Compact Flash Card goes in to the reader
and the reader attaches to your USB/Serial/PCMCIA of your PC. This will get
the camera out of the loop. I would think someone makes Card Readers with
drivers for Linux.

Yes. Check "man 5 crontab" and look for "MAILTO"

In your crontab, do:
*/2 * * * * /path/to/script > /dev/null
...so all normal output from the script will get sent to the bit bucket.
Errors will still be mailed to root. If you want to redirect errors
too, then add 2>&1 to the end of that line.

Because you can't compress a multivolume archive. Ever tried doing
tar czMf /dev/fd0 /path/to/stuff ?
The error messages can be illuminating.
A better way might be to "tar czf file.tgz /path/to/stuff" , then use
"split" to split the tarball into multiple chunks where each chunk fits
on a floppy. This does require that the system on the other end have
"cat" available so you can reconstruct the original file.

Are you running gpm? Try not running it. Switch to a text console and
do a "gpm -k" as root, then try restarting X. If it works, rename the
symlink in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S??gpm to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/s??.gpm . Some X
servers do not play well when gpm is running, but I've never seen that
happen myself.
Also, "cat /proc/interrupts" and make sure nothing besides the PS/2
mouse is on IRQ 12. Nothing else *should* be on IRQ 12, but you never
know. If your BIOS Setup screen has "PnP OS" set to "Yes", then set it
to "NO", since that's where it should be anyway....
