Sounds like apache is trying to load a module for mysql or PostgressSQL.
I have not used one of these before so I don't know to which sqlinit
belongs to. So, if you do not have one of these DBMS then you should
take the module out of your httpd.conf or do it with webmin. If you do
have one of these DBMS then just set the environment variable DBROOT to
the path of it. Example:
export DBROOT=/usr/local/mysql.

You can not controll access to hylafax via /etc/hosts.

Date: Sun, 09 May 1999 11:56:20 -0400
In windows my monitor (after some time when I don't touch any
keys/mouse) turns on the screen saving and later it switches to
saving mode (lower-power standby it's called in Display Properties)
and uses its built-in power managment system (consumes less power,
power indicator changes color).
How can I do this in Linux, too?
Maybe anybody at least saw where to read about it on web, because i
can't find that info?
thanks.

I am probably completely wrong, but would your test work
with a 2.2 kernel compiled as UP, not SMP - or even better
SMP without support of the improved IRQ hardware management ?
probably completely wrong,

You need to post some information, like the output of:

Also indicate what, if any patches and updates have been installed, what type

your cable modem have lights that might indicate activity or problems?

Subject: inetd closing up?
Date: 10 May 1999 16:00:30 GMT
A friend of mine has two colo machines with a trusted user community,
with telnet, ftp, and smtp ports under inetd control.
One is libc5, the other libc6. Kernel 2.0.35 and 2.0.36.
Over the last few months, each has had the same failure, three times.
Inetd stops accepting connections, but does not exit.
We can't find anything in the logs, afterwards. httpd, which doesn't
use inetd, remains active.
Is this a defense mechanism against some kind of network attack?
Is it documented anywhere? Where?
He's been having the hosting company restart the machines.
What's the right way to restore inetd once it goes into this state?

Considering the low cost of a network hub, and the fact that crossover cables
tend to be harder to find and/or more expensive, I'd recommended getting the
hub and standard cables.
After all, if you get a 3rd computer with network card, you're going to throw
away the crossover cable, and end up buying the hub and standard cables
anyway. Besides, hubs generally have pretty lights that you can watch while
networking, and they (the lights) make great troubleshooting tools for when
things go wrong.

Technically, what you need to do is an advanced feature of a firewall..
However, do you "need" a firewall in the normal sense (protection)?? I
doubt it.. But I believe you will need to install firewalling on your

You could start pppd without mgetty. This works fine with 2 Linux boxes

PCMCIA schemes can do this just fine
Add some boot options to /etc/lilo.conf, same kernel, but extra
append="SCHEME=xxx", to select the network at boot time. The default
should go without SCHEME selection, it will use whatever was used last.

Just dump RedHats network config scripts.
0. Read the pcmcia howto.
1. Install a raw pcmcia_cs source in your kernel tree, compile and
install, this will replace some of the RedHat stuff.
2. Configure /etc/pcmcia/network.opts for all your network SCHEMEs.
3. Use the RedHat network scripts only to get up lo0

You need to be aware (and perhaps to beware) that I haven't done PnP so
whatever I suggest is based solely on my guess about how isapnp works.
What I really had in mind for IRQ and port configuration were jumpers
or a DOS based configuration program.
>From your post it seems to me that it works something like this:
There is a program that examines the cards and writes a configuration
file with various suggested configurations for each card and logical
device. You are then to edit the file and uncomment a configuration
of your choice. Finally you run another program that uses the
configuration file to configure PnP devices.

Subject: FTP files corrupted, when downloading from another machine.
Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 22:59:32 +0800
Can anyone think of any reason why, when I FTP'd into another Linux machine
(Red Hat 5.2 though that is irrelavent), the stuff I downloaded was
garbled - i.e. I could not decompress it correctly. I did set the download
to 'Binary', so that is not the problem.
The client was using a Linux machine, and so was the server - both of which
are on the same network. The file sizes even match after the download, but
they still refuse to decompress because they are corrupted in some way.
FTPing to commercial sites has no problems though - only to the other Linux
machine setup on the same network.
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
What are the subnet masks on each of the cards. If they are the same, then the cards
are on the same network. What are you trying
accomplish? Two cards on the same network is good for loadbalacing (if you have the

i am happy. i have a dec tulip 21140 card in a quad ppro box and it
seems fine. i use tulip driver v89h (what comes with linux 2.[12].x
kernels) and have tried v90 as well. i have run big ftp jobs (100's
of Mb) to move data back and forth between it and my other machine. i
have a 100Mbps setup through a little 4 port hub. i've got two more
dec tulips in my uniprocessor box. one 10Mbps 21041 and one 21140.
i can't recall the minor rev letter/numbers at this time.
what tests would you have me perform to inflict maximum punishment
upon these ethercard?

It appears that chat is using -v and pppd has debug. The log file looks great
until the line after the one where my password is sent. I've got a :
pppd[400]: Connect script failed
line. My prompt strings are matched up OK. Do I need the three ppp's in my
ifcfg-ppp0 file - if so where should I put them
Many thanks
Steve H
PS - this login/pwd and phone number all work great under windows so thats all
OK.
