I tried to look at the previous postings but I couldn't find the
answer to this:
I am using Redhat 6.2 as the root user, I am trying to set the date
and the time zone on my machine using the "date" command, but I
could't find out how to set the time zone on my machine.  I could
retrieve the GMT using "date -u", but that's about all I can get.
Also, I would like to know if there's any way for me to find out
what country and their counrty code my machine can regonize?
Thank you very much for your help.

IIRC, try either timetool or timeconfig.  To look for other time related programs, try 
this:

rpm -qa | grep time   (also grep for date)

On my Mandrake 8 system, this command returns:

time-1.7-17mdk
kdemultimedia-devel-2.1.1-5mdk
kdemultimedia-2.1.1-5mdk


To see what files are in the time rpm:

rpm -qil time-1.7-17mdk

which returns info about the files in this rpm.

redhat 7.1 on ibm netfinity smp

hello,


we recently upgraded one system  from redhat 6.2 to redhat 7.1 
2.4.2-2 #17 SMP Sun Jun 3 00:51:40 EDT 2001 i686 unknown


accounting (i.e. /sbin/accton) dies  instantly after it is
started :

/sbin/accton /var/log/pacct

Then things are normal and records gets appended to /var/log/pacct
but after about 20 or 30 seconds  /var/log/pacct stops growing all 
together.

This started after upgrade.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Farid

Subject: What are these kernel files for? Do I need them?
Date: Mon, 04 Jun 2001 04:46:22 GMT

I am upgrading my Linux 6.0 Redhat kernel 2.2.5-15 to 2.2.14-5.0. Most of
the files go through rpm alright, but some don't. Perhaps I don't even need
them. Here is a list of all the kernel files that I found on my Linux 6.2
CD, and also an indication of which files worked under "rpm -i" and which
ones failed. Could anyone tell my why they fail or whether they might be
needed?

kernel-BOOT-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm
This file didn't install when using rpm. It gave the message "error: failed
dependencies: kernel <= 2.2 conflicts with initscripts=4.16-1, (but my
kernel is presently 2.2.5-15!)

kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm
This file gives the error message " ... conflicts with file from package
kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.5-15" for a variety of files.
Do I have to uninstall the 2.2.5-15 kernel file and then install the
2.2.14-5.0 pcmica kernel file?

kernel-smp-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm
Under rpm this file gives the message "error: failed dependencies: kernel <=
2.2 conflicts with initscripts-4.16-1", (but my kernel is presently
2.2.5-15!)


The following files installed fine under "rpm" ...
kernel-2.2.14-6.0.i686.rpm
kernel-doc-2.2.14-5.0-i386.rpm
kernel-headers-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm
kernel-ibcs-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm
kernel-source-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm
kernel-utils-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm
kernelcfg-0.5-5.i386.rpm

Thanks for help,

There's a mini-howto on saving spac, "Saving-Space.xxx".

It's only 34K, I can mail it for you, let me know. It describes how to free
up space on your system.

RedHat 6.2 has an installation option to install on an already existing VFAT
partition.  I haven't done it so I don't know how it works... but you might
want to try it and then work out how it is doing its tricks.

Hey!! That's pretty good!!

The only catch I can think of is that this info comes from a gcc config
file (IIRC), and if you manually upgrade gcc, you replace that config
file. This means that the sysadm has to know to make the gcc config file
aware of the distribution, and _could_ rename it if s/he chooses.

Yes, same caveat. 
 
> Lee.

It gets down to, once someone has performed any customization on a
distro, it might not be fair (or even possible) to call the resulting
system by the distro name. My server, for instance, started life as
Slackware 3.3 on a 486DX4/80, but since I've upgraded the CPU, the
kernel, and several utilities, and customized the life out of such
things as dial-on-demand, /etc/issue, firewalling, etc. the system can
only be called an 'evolved Slackware 3.3' at best.

My rule of thumb is that every time Debian releases a major version of
it's distribution, I order the CD's from a distributor and donate $10
towards Debian, even thought I have a high speed connection and could

I ran nmap on one of my machines that is running a SuSE personal firewall

1) How do I turn off the time at port 37? or should I worry.
2) Why is the printer listening at port 515 and is this a security risk?
3) What would be listining at port 32768 or how would I figure that out?

Do you run 'network', because that really seems to cause the

except that I need network for a couple of things I do, so I guess

In addition to all those replies, the OP misses to give us some info.

However, he could use a null-modem cable to connect via serial,
and use the glorious M$ hyperterminal program to transfer the files,
sure the max speed is limited by the UARTs...
