Subject: telnet daemon?
Date: 7 Aug 2000 11:19:21 GMT
Hi all,
I just installed LinuxPPC 2000 on my iMac (with a lot of
help from someone who knew what he was doing). Everything
appears to be in order except for telnet. I can telnet out,
but can't telnet in, so I assume that means my telnet daemon
isn't working.
The only rpm that looks applicable is
telnet-0.10-31.ppc.rpm, and that's installed.
Can anyone tell me where to find the telnet daemon and/or
how to start it?
Many thanks in advance,
Doug

It's actually quite easy - I wanted to do the same with my Matrix VCD -
it's on two cd's and the split is right in the middle of the morpheus vs
neo fight scene, so I wanted to copy them to my hard drive, splice them
together, and get rid of the horribly-placed split.
I ended up using mtvp (the MpegTV decoder engine) with vcdkutter. Just
run vcdkutter like this "vcdkutter -vcd destfile.dat | /dev/null" (I think
- it's been a while since I've used it), select "copy", "start" and it'll
copy the vcd to "destfile.dat", which is just a mpeg file. This is the
only way i've found to get around the copy-protection scheme on most
VideoCD's.

howdy i'm in a tough situation with a dead hard drive. i had two scsi
drives, one of them had windows and one of them had linux. fortunately
for me, the one with windows is the one that died. i unplugged it, booted
up in rescue mode and fixed up lilo so i could boot up again.
originally, thw windows hard drive was sda and the linux drive was sdb
(sdb1 was swap, sdb2 was /). now i need to edit fstab. i tried doing so
from the rescue boot. i make my edits and save them just fine, but they
don't show up when i reboot. if i boot my kernel (instead of rescu(, it
craps out and mounts the drive in read-only mode.
how do i edit fstab and make it work? i tried booting from lilo in
runlevel 1, no difference. it's crapping out too soon.
i couldn't bring the old drive back to life... if only i had done the edit
before i yanked it out, but it took its last dying breath already.
i am running redhat linux 6.0 (kernel 2.2.5). i haven't changed much
except i upgraded glibc to 2.3 or whatever, don't see why this would
matter. in desperation i tried doing an upgrade with my 6.0 cd, but it
crapped out on the fstab as well.
ugh.
thanks so much for any help.

I'm no expert, but I'm not sure that /etc/fstab is what your looking to
change, at least I think theres more.... I believe you may need to look at
/etc/lilo.conf, which has information about the boot device. In your case, it
probably points to /dev/sdb and you want to now change it to /sda. You should
also look at the command 'rdev' which tells Linux what and where your root
device is to be mounted. Anyway, I would first bring up Linux using your
emergency disk, edit lilo.conf, save it and then run lilo so the changes get
written. See if it will reboot properly.
One thing I'm thinking about... I havent used SCSI for a long time, and the
last version of Unix that had SCSI was SCO. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt
the SCSI device determined by the LUN number? If that's the case, when you
removed the dead drive (sda), I would have expected that since the drive with
Linux was still at the same LUN, it would still remain as /dev/sdb. It sounds
like from your description below, that you may have changed the LUN on that
drive? Was that necessary? Again, I'm just taking educated guesses here.

I have recently brought a new linux e-mail/web server. Using mandrake
6.1 I installed the telnet, ftp, and pop services. However none of
them are working. I assumed they work be turned on by default. How
do I turn these services on?

In general, on a Linux machine, nearly all physical memory will _always_
appear to be in use. You do have 90MB of swap free, after all.

Shouldn't the IO address be 0x340 instead of x0340 ??

Did I get this right: You can boot but the root partition is read-only?
If so, try "mount -o remount,rw /". It remounts the root partition to
read_and_write mode and then you can edit /etc/fstab.

I don't think that it was a question of rebellion. The
Indonesia army invaded E.Timor. This would be about 28 years ago now,
about 2 years after Suharto came to power in E.Timor. And funnily
enough about 8 hours after Gerald Ford's plane left the tarmac on
Jakarta, on the first official visit to Indonesia since Suharto.

This is a facetious argument. I would not get far in a court
if I tried "well okay so I mugged the guy but if I didn't someone else
would". Nor do I hear this argument from the US government when the
send in the marines to burn out the poppy fields of the peasant
farmers of Central America.
To argue that the arms trade, or indeed most "business" is
separate from politics, and worse still morality is something that I
feel is profoundly wrong.
