You also have to make sure the raid0 module is pre-loaded at boot time.
Make a new Ram disk that includes the raid0 module. Something like:
mkinitrd --with=raid0 /boot/initrd-raid-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`
Then edit your /etc/lilo.conf and change the
initrd=/boot/...
line to use the .img file you've just created. Run lilo and reboot.
Details are in the mkinitrd man page.
Unfortuantely the Raid documenation supplied with RedHat 6.0 is not very
clear on this subject.

No. I get Request Timed Out errors. I know the hardware is good as this
exact configuration was a Win98 client three days ago working just fine. I
have a link light on the hub, and I've swapped out cables, just in case.
Here is the output of
ifconfig -a:
lo Link encap: Local Loopback
inet addr: 127.0.0.1 Bcast: 127.255.255.255 Mask: 255.0.0.0

Tx Packets: 0 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0

The IRQ and base are correct, as is the IP and the HW address
The Kernel Routing table looks like this:
Destination Gateway Genmask
Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0
u 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
u 0 0 1 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.2 0.0.0.0
ug 1 0 0 eth0
(Something doesn't look quite right here...?)
And the /etc/resolve.conf looks likes this:
domain cpu-incorp.com
nameserver 192.168.0.1
Hope this helps someone help me figure this out...BTW I have the PDC and BDC
routing tables all set for this hardware as it did not change from when the
box was Win98.
Thanks in advance

One thing that comes to mind is: did you put the following line in
conf.modules (assuming that the NIC in question is eth0).
alias eth0 tulip
This tells the kernel that when something refers to eth0 (at boot time in
this case) to 'insmod the tulip driver.

The README.cbcp in every pppd source package will tell you how to

The only callback option is "callback <Phone_Number>" which isn't in the

Subject: Samba: Popup-Message to USER (not to computer)
Date: 21 Jun 1999 12:30:52 GMT
Hi all,
I have a question concerning Samba's messenger service (under Windows
known as WinPopup): Under NT you can use the "net send" command to send a
popup message to another computer. Under Samba that works fine with the
"smbclient -M" command if you know the computer's name.
But: Windows NT also allows to use the "net send" command with a USER's
name, i.e. "net send charly" where charly is the login name of a user.
Then the popup message will be delivered directly to the computer where
the user is logged in at this moment. If the person is not logged in, you
get an error message.
This is a great function because you don't need to know the name of the NT
Workstation to send a message to a certain person: "net send USER" is able
to locate the user (if he is logged in under NT).
Is there any similar function in Samba ? The "smbclient -M" command only
accepts computer names but no user names.
Thanks in advance and please excuse my probably bad english ;-))
Charly.

Subject: Virtual FTP directories
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 13:51:18 +0000
Okay, I just installed wu_ftpd on a Solaris 2.6 machine. True it's
Solaris,
but I think the same philosphy applies to Linux. Anyway, it runs great
and I am able to ftp into the machine no problem. What I want to do now
is set up virtual ftp directories so that my virtual domains, i.e.
www.bintzsupply.com can do a ftp://ftp.bintzsupply.com/ and ftp stuff
right out of their directories. I did the research and added the
following lines to my /etc/ftpaccess file and it appeared to work just
fine, but then no one else was able to ftp into that server.
Here are the lines I added:
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# a couple of test things...
# passwd-check <none|trivial|rfc822> [<enforce|warn>]
passwd-check rfc822 warn

If anyone has had any experience with this or could enlighten me as to
what I did wrong, I would be much appreciative. Thanks. Please also
send me the response via email as I get very busy sometimes and don't
have time to check the newsgroups.

Easy: you give it a blank passphrase, and then set it so that key can
only do what you want on the remote system.

Matthew,I found that this page http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html

It provides detailed instructions to configure, test, debug, and automate

I am trying to setup named server in my RedHat 6.0. It seems working
fine, except for just one problem. When I try to nslookup to some
outside server, instead of returning the corrent address, it will give
out the following error message,
* ns.xxx.xxx can't find www.netscape.com: Non-existent host/domain
It can ping, telnet, whois etc to that server though. And it can
nslookup those domain names that I have entered in the named.conf file.
Is there anything I've missed? Any hints or suggestions?

If I understand you correctly (ie. you want a program which dials out from

MasqDialer. http://cpwright.villagenet.com/mserver/ When I tested it a

leftover zombies. But I understand these have been fixed with the latest

The shell shouldn't have any kind of impact. look to see if one adds the

as your not blocking acces via ftpaccess
