Subject: Dialup configuration Tool
Hello Everybody.
I am using RedHat Linux 6.1 OS. I am very new in this linux world . I
want to know some thing about Dial up configuration tool. Whenever we
create an ISP entry with dialup configuration tool, it prompts for
various informations. Bydefault in which file it save these
informations. I am creating an account with dialup configuration tool.
If I delete the account from dialup configuration tool and recreate the
same account it gives me an error " You have the same account with name
blah blah blah "

Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 06:38:10 -0400
I have a Speedstream 4060 digital modem connected through my USB port.
Can someone help me to configure it? I have recently installed
Corellinux OS version 2.
I also can't get pppd running in my dial-up for my 56k analog modem.
The modem connects, but that's all. I get a time-out message because
pppd won't start. I can connect fine using the 'pon' command, after
setting up a new connection with 'pppconfig'.

Subject: XDMCP on RH 6.2
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 15:03:22 -0500
Can someone tell me what changes need to be made to a brand new RH 6.2
server in order to accept XDMCP connections?
I am trying to use my W95 machine as an xterminal for the RH box. I
have installed both "X-Win32 5.0" and "XThinPro v6.0" on my PC, and
instructed them to connect to my RedHat server using XDMCP in Query
mode. The programs seem to get no response from the server. I am not
sure if the server has gdm or xdm running on it as a daemon. How do I
do that, if needed? (I use "startx" while on the console and it starts
Gnome just fine.)
I've looked in /var/gdm and in /var/log/* and I can't find any relevant
error messages.
These are the changes I have made so far:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs:
Changed
daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon -port -1
to
daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon -port 7100
/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess:
Changed
#* #any host can get a login window
to
* #any host can get a login window
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf:
Original:
[xdmcp]
Enable=0
HonorIndirect=0
MaxPending=4
MaxPendingIndirect=4
MaxSessions=16
MaxWait=30
MaxWaitIndirect=30
Port=177
Changes:
Enable=1
Just for kicks, I tried to telnet to port 177 on the server. I got no
response. That makes me guess that gdm (or xdm) isn't listening to port
177.

Hi! I have Red Hat 5.2 (I think)
Anyway I have a command called netconf and it brings up the following:
config mode options -> enabled manual Dhcp Bootp
Primary name and domain
IP address (I know this :))
Net device
Kernel module
I/O Port (optional)
Irq (optional)
Now I wish to know does anyone use Red Hat and if so, what steps
do I take to configure my net access?

There are no drivers for that modem (or really any PCI/USB). You need an
ethernet interfaced modem for Linux.

Hi!
I am new in Linux, I have a Red Hat 6.2, A Pentium III 733 PC, 128M RAM,
20G HDD, 48x CD ROM, S3 Trio 3D/2X graphic card, no network card (will
install later). I have no problem to start the installation and I have
select the standard installation configuration (just to learn to install),
everything is fine until Linux try to formats my hard disk, 2 minutes or so
later, the whole thing hanged. I tried other options in several attempts,
and they all failed at the same place, can anyone of you any suggestions.
I suspected my hard disk have something to do with it. Any help is
appreciate.

Subject: ISDN keeps on connecting.....
Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 15:01:04 +0200
Help! I've setup my server with an ISDN adapter and it works fine. The
server is to be used as a router and a firewall, and it's funtioning
perfect. But even without any traffic from the network (I unplugged the
cable), it keeps on building up the connection every minute or so. I
cannot really measure the time in between connects.... I checked and
checked everything. START_ROUTED is (and was already) set to NO and
Sendmail starts with -q30m.
Can anyone tell me what causes this behaviour? And is there a way to
monitor the traffic to ippp0?
Greetz,
Edwin

Subject: Automatically mounting a samba drive at boot - how?
Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 13:12:59 GMT
I can boot as root and execute in the console:
mount -f smbfs //bruce/landrive /mnt/landrive
I have to be root to do this.
Then I login as a regular user to access the LanDrive.
Works fine (with a couple of options not shown).
But where can I put that mount statement so that it executes automatically
everytime I boot?
I've tried filling in the fstab table but nothing happens. I've tried
putting the mount at the beginning or end of rc.local but always get some
sort of permission denied error.
I'm just starting out with Mandrake Linux 7.? (Helium) ...

Subject: How to install Linux (Suse) together with NT 4 ...
Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 16:01:53 +0200
Hello everybody.
I have a new IDE HD (IBM DLTA-307030) with plenty of space and want to
install now Linux together with Windows NT (and even DOS).
At the moment I have 3 partitions:
1 GB FAT with DOS 5 installed
1 GB FAT with NT 4 Server installed for rescue of "primary" NT installation
in case of NTFS problems (which I just recently had on my old HD).
2 GB NTFS with "primary" NT 4 Server installed
The partitions are probably all primary partions - no extended ones.
Additionally I have two old SCSI HD (1 GB, 400 MB), a SCSI CD-ROM and a SCSI
QIC streamer (and sometimes anexternal DAT streamer) connected to an Adaptec
1542C SCSI controller.
How would I best install Linux ?
I want to start with a free copy of Suse Linux 6.4 on a PC Professional CD
and later update to Suse 7.0 Pro.
I think Lilo has to be installed on a partition in the first 8 GB of the IDE
drive because the BIOS cannot see the rest.
Can I install Linux on a partition beyond the 8 GB but install Lilo on one
of the two FAT partitions ?
Or do I need an additional (small) partition in the first 8 GB ?
If this is a FAQ - what I guess - please anybody point me to a location
where I can read it up.
Thanks in advance for any help.
With kind regards,
Harald Henkel

Look in /etc/innetd.conf
to see if telnet is enabled.
then restart innetd

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm trying to get ISDN working on a Mandrake 7.1 box. I've successfully
got the HiSax driver for my BT Speedway (a rebadged AVM Fritz PCI) working
but that's about it.
Anything else I try fails because I'm missing /dev/isdninfo and
/dev/isdnctrl (well I'm not missing that, but it's just a link to the
missing /dev/isdnctrl1). This happens regarless of whether I compile the
ISDN stuff directly into the kernel or as modules.
Can anyone help?
TIA

Being terribly lazy, I just used rpm --nodeps, and it worked.

Hi Folks,
attached you will find my little report how I managed to get my HP
CD-Writer Plus 8210e (USB-Interface) running with Linux (Kernel
V2.4.0-test8). Have fun....
Any feedback is welcome.
BTW don't forget to read the CD-Writing howto. You will find more

Report: How to use the HP CD-Writer Plus 8210e (USB-Interface) with
Linux
Author: Thomas Jaeger Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Version: V1.0
Table of contents

1.0 The risk is yours...
1.1 Prerequisites
1.2 First steps

1.8 The End
1. Intro
This is a short report with all the details how I managed to get my HP
CD-Writer Plus 8210e (USB-interface) running with Linux
1.0 The risk is yours...
I cannot promise that the information in this report will be of any help
to you. Neither can there be any guarantee that all this will work with
your
system. Following anything in this document means that you do this
completly
at your on risk.
1.1 Prerequisites
Linux kernel tree V2.4.0-test8
cdrecord V1.10a4
usbmgr V0.3.5
modutils-2.3.15 or better (very important!)
PC with USB-Interface
HP CD-Writer Plus 8210e
1.2 First steps
Please check your PC BIOS-Setup whether your USB-Interface is enabled.
If you
are using MS Win... on the same PC and your USB-CD-Writer is running
fine, there
should be no need to check the BIOS-Setup.
1.3 Preparing Linux
You should be 100% familar how to configure a new Linux kernel, compile
and
install it. Don't do this if you are new to this. You might loose your
existing Linux kernel configuration, might not be able to boot again and
then
you are trapped.....
I am using a complete modular Linux kernel configuration. Therefore you
should
also be familar with the programs "insmod", "lsmod", "modprobe",
"depmod" from
the modutils-package.
1.3.1 menuconfig
These are the options I selected during the kernel configuration
process:
Code maturity level options --->
[*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers
Loadable module support --->
[*] Enable loadable module support
[*] Set version information on all module symbols
[*] Kernel module loader
Block devices --->
<M> Loopback device support
SCSI support --->
<M> SCSI support
<M> SCSI disk support
<M> SCSI CD-ROM support
[*] Enable vendor-specific extensions (for SCSI CDROM)
(2) Maximum number of CDROM devices that can be loaded as modules
<M> SCSI generic support
[*] Enable extra checks in new queueing code
[*] Verbose SCSI error reporting (kernel size +=12K)
[*] SCSI logging facility
SCSI low-level drivers --->
deactivate any SCSI-Device you don't have!
File systems --->
<M> ISO 9660 CDROM file system support
[*] Microsoft Joliet CDROM extensions
[*] /proc file system support
<M> UDF file system support (read only)
USB support --->
<M> Support for USB
[*] USB verbose debug messages
[*] Preliminary USB device filesystem
[*] Enforce USB bandwidth allocation (EXPERIMENTAL)
--- USB Controllers
<M> UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support
< > OHCI (Compaq, iMacs, OPTi, SiS, ALi, ...) support
Select the correct USB Controller for your System!!!!!!
<M> USB Mass Storage support
That are all kernel options relevant for running my HP CD-Writer Plus
8210e
with Linux kernel V2.4.0-test8. Some of the options for verbose
debug/error messages are not really neccessary but they help finding
problems.
So if everything is running fine these options can be switched off.
Warning: You have to be familar with the process to compile and install
a new
kernel and new modules. If anything goes wrong or you did skip any
neccessary
step (e.g. setting up LILO) you might not be able to boot anymore. I
mentioned it before: You are doing this completly at your own risk!!!
1.3.2 Installation
After compiling the kernel and the modules install
everything. You should check the modules directory for the following
modules:
cd /lib/modules/2.4.0-test8
cd kernel
ls fs/isofs
isofs.o
ls drivers/cdrom
cdrom.o
ls drivers/scsi
scsi_mod.o sd.o sg.o sr_mod.o
ls drivers/usb
storage usb-uhci.o usbcore.o
ls drivers/usb/storage
usb-storage.o
Reboot!
1.4 Next steps
Get the usbmgr-package. Untar it and read the README file. Do "make" in
the
source directory. Then do "make install".
Now we have to configure the usbmgr config file
cd /etc/usbmgr
Edit the file usbmgr.conf
a) remove the "#" in the section HOST CONTROLLER in front of one of the
"host"
choices. For my PC with Intel-chipset the correct line is:
host usb-uhci
b)
Add the following 3 lines at the end of the section STORAGE
### CD
# HP CD-Writer Plus 8210e
vendor 0x3f0 product 0x107 module scsi_mod, sr_mod, usb-storage
Now you have to run the "update_usbdb" program:
update_usbdb usbmgr.config
Now you can start "usbmgr". The program will go into the background so
there is
no output at all. You can check the "messages"-file with:
tail -n50 /var/log/messages
The output to look should look like:
Sep 15 12:55:28 usbmgr[326]: start 0.3.5

The last 12 lines are the important ones. After the line: "scsi: 1
host:" there
has to be the information about the HP CD-Writer (see above).
The line "Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0"
tells you
that the CD-Writer has been found via the scsi/usb interface and the
device
can be accessed via /dev/sr0.
With my PC (maybe too old or too slow), I noticed that the
identification
process does not work perfectly every time. So if there is no Vendor
info it
might be necessary to unplug the CD-Writer and replug it again. Normally
after
the 2nd or 3rd try it works just fine.
1.6 Testing
A first real test is to put a normal CD-ROM into the drive and to mount
it:
mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt
ls -l /mnt
Result: The ls command should show the contents of the CD-ROM
Next test should be with cdrecord:
(The cdrtools-1.10a04 package has to be installed first)
cdrecord -scanbus
The result is:

1.7 Mr Kirk: "Mr Zulu, power up the laser gun..."
Now it's time to use the laser gun. I use the current cdrtools-1.10a04
package. Take
a look in the README file first.
For a first test you could do: (Insert a new CD-R first)
mkisofs -L -l -J -r file1 file2 dir1 dir2 | cdrecord -v -pad -eject
-dummy -nofix fs=4m speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -
This command will create an iso9660 image with the files/directories
"file1", "file2", "dir1" and
"dir2" with joliet and rockridge extensions and will pipe the output
directly to the
"cdrecord" program. Cdrecord will be verbose (-v), will fill up the last
sector (-pad
), will eject the written CD, will do a test write (i.e. the laser is
off), will not fi
nalize the CD (-nofix), will use 4MByte of RAM as buffer, will use speed
= 4x and will
use the scsi-device 0,0,0. Please note the important dash "-" at the
end. It tells
cdrecord to accept data via the pipe.
Check whether the dummy write runs without any problems, especially that
the fifo
buffer does not run out of data.
Keep in mind: The max capacity of an CD-ROM is about 650MB. Check first
the amount of
data you want to write on the CD-R.
A real write command would be:
mkisofs -L -l -J -r file1 file2 dir1 dir2 | cdrecord -v -pad -eject
fs=4m speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -
The options you have to remove are: -dummy -nofix
You can also use a new CD-RW:
mkisofs -L -l -J -r file1 file2 dir1 dir2 | cdrecord -v -pad -eject
blank=fast fs=4m speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -
This will also create an iso9660 image. To my knowledge there is at the
moment no UDF-write support
for CD-RWs with linux. The option blank=fast will erase all data on the
CD-RW first!!!!!
All other details how to use mkisofs and cdrecord can be found in the
man pages.
Never play around with the USB hotplug (better: hot unplug feature) of
the CD-Writer.
You will loose data, damage the CD and even lock up your linux system.
Remove
any CD before unplugging.
1.8. The End
At the moment I can only use the commands mkisofs and cdrecord directly.
So far had had no problems at all burning CDs with the HP CD-Writer Plus
connected to
Linux. Performance and stability is good.
I started to play with kisocd but I noticed that there is a bug. Kisocd
generates not all the
neccessary options for mkisofs and the image creation stops with an
error message.
I hope this will be fixed soon, because the kisocd user interface is
nice and burning
CDs is as easy as drag&drop.
