Subject: can't ftp from IPs not in a DNS
Date: 5 Jun 2001 18:13:16 -0700
Hi, I hope somebody can help me with this problem.
I am just setting up a linux server w/ RH 7.0
The problem is that I can easily connect to the
server IF the machine's IP number from which I am
ftp-ing is in a DNS. However, it is impossible to
ftp from machines whose IP number has not a DNS
entry.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks very much in advance. Any help would be
appreciated

Do you find that it takes a minute or two to connect via telnet, but then
telnet is fast? If so, it is simple problem.
When you telnet to a box the telnet server needs to do a reverse look up on
the IP address of the telnet client (get the host name from the IP address)
so that it can log the access in /var/log/messages. This can be done by a
hosts file entry (/etc/hosts) or by a DNS. If there is no way to so the
reverse lookup, then the telnet server will wait a minute or two for the
resolver to time out (the resolver does the reverse lookup).
You need to check the following
/etc/resolv.conf - DNS entris go here
/etc/hosts - host file
/etc/nsswitch.conf - sets the method for looking up name services, eg hosts
first, then DNS then stop. Tip. Don't use NIS if you don't have a NIS
server!

Perhaps you didn't do a full install? I was using Mandrake 8.0 when I sent

If you mean 'graphical' html editor, yes.

NOTE: This assumes you have correctly set up your keyboard layout, and
may work best in a US-English setup. I don't have any other keyboards to
test....
Your installation should've set up a keyboard layout with at least one
"Compose" key, which is also called "Multi-key". I hear this key is
often "AltGr" on non-US keyboards, while it is often "Scroll Lock" or
the right "Ctrl" key on US keyboards. To find out where it is, do
"xmodmap -pm" and you'll get something like this:
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Multi_key (0x6d)
Ah, my Multi-key is the right-hand Ctrl key.
So, to enter a character that isn't on my keyboard, like � , I would
press Right-Ctrl, then ~ , then a. The other modifier keys for accented
characters are ' for � , ` for � , " for � , and ^ for � . Other
characters have a slightly twisted but ultimately logical key mapping,
for example, � is Multi_Key, "s", "s" and � is Multi_Key, "," , "c" and
� is Multi_Key, "-", "d"....
The key sequences are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose on
my machine. HTH,

I don't know too much about this except that RS485 is similar, but can use
higher voltage and go longer distances than RS422.

There are a few things I would like to start everytime my RH7.1 Linux
machine boots:
apache
samba
lisa
I was wonding where I should put these things. They don't start by
themselves in my current configuration. I figure they should go in an rc
file somewhere, but I wasn't sure if that was best. They should start when
the server boots up, regardless of whether or not anyone logs in.

I think there was a comment about this somewhere... (Can I be any more
vague...) As far as I recall, it was an issue with authentication (similar
to the problems with NT before, but a little different). As I dig further
into the recesses of my mind, something about master browsers comes to
mind, and the issues between master and secondary browsers, but I can't say
for sure. I'd check the samba pages, or ask in col.networking...

That's actually a very common form of address harvesting. My own posts
go out with different From and Reply-To addresses, and the From address
on my newsgroup posts appears *ONLY* on my newsgroup posts. I've never
tried to quantify the amount of spam I get that's directed at one
address versus another, but I do see a substantial amount directed at
my From address, which means that the spammer did address harvesting
from a newsgroup or bought the address from somebody who did that. I
also see a certain amount of duplicate spam -- stuff that I get twice
because it's sent to both addresses.

Help, Ive done this before, but its been so long ago that I dont remember anything
being special.
I can print to my (parallel) printer via /dev/lp0.
In the configuration of the kernel I have set
Parallel Port Support: Parallel port suppor
Parallel Port Support: PC-style hardware
Character Devices: Parallel printer support
all of these are modules, and in /proc/moduels I see that
parport
parport_pc
are loaded.
I thought I COULD print to /dev/parport0 by just setting the printer
up with this device rather than /dev/lp0, but nothing happens.
Ive started and restarted things, but nothing.
HOW DO I PRINT using /dev/parport0???
What am I missing???

You could just redirect the output of the Lotus Domino server to > /dev/tty6.
You just need to make sure that the device /dev/tty6 is capable of being
written to based on the effective ID of the user which is starting the Lotus
Domino server.

The current information is stored in /var/run/utmp and is used by w and
others, while historical information lives in /var/log/wtmp and is
accessed
using 'last'.
This is just the way it works. Each shell maps to a tty, and counts as a
user.
On the console you can log in multiple times using alt-f2, alt-f3 even
using
different usernames. If you don't want to se ptys, use w | grep -v pt.

If it's anything like the previous RH releases, changing your runlevel
from 3 (virtual consoles or something) to something else (maybe higher)
starts more daemons
You can also go into linuxconf and put checkmarks opposite samba, apache,
etc. so that these will automatically start at whatever runlevel you're
at. IIRC, the scripts are already there, but you have to 'turn them on'.

a few days ago, the x server on my rh6.2 machine locked up,
and i had no choice but to re-boot.
after reboot, i noticed among other things, that i'm
no longer able to su to root. i now have two choices:
1. logout completely and re-login as root.
2. create a suid-root shell, which is a big security breach.
any ideas why su would deny me from su-ing to root (it returns
a "su: incorrect password" error, but *i know* that i typed
in the correct password.)
is there an account setting somewhere that states which users
are allowed to do things like "su?"

1. Make sure telnetd is running (/etc/xinetd.d/telnet -> disable=no), then
restart xinetd (/sbin/service restart xinetd) or better yet, use ssh. By
default the sshd is on and you need a client capable of ssh 2 connections
(this is the preferred method - telnet is so "yesterday").
2. To get remote X connections, you need to edit 2 files:
- /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config -> comment out the last line
- /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess -> look for '#* allow any host to connect'
remove the # or add ip addresses of machines you
wish to allow access
