Just an idea:
What about your entries in /etc/nsswitch.conf concerning netgroup ?
It should be "nis files", not only "files".

On RH7.0, you are using xinetd.  I learned this last night while playing
with it on my laptop.

You will have a file (/etc/xinetd.conf), and a directory
(/etc/xinetd.d).

The file gives some basic setup details (like which directory to look in
for other details).  The files in /etc/xinetd.d are the files that
control the bits about specific services.

To disable services, add "disable = yes".  To enable, either remove the
line or change "yes" to "no".  I tried doing "killall -HUP xinetd" to
get the change(s) recognized, but I eventually had to do "service xntpd
restart" to stop/start xinetd and get the changes recognized.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Dave

Subject: How to get logitech scroll-button to work
Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2000 16:22:45 GMT

I have a logitech marble trackball that has four buttons.  The fourth button
is intended to be used w/ the trackball for scrolling.  If you hold that button,
then the trackball is supposed to scroll the window instead of moving the
pointer.

I've experemented with it and can get X to report usage of the 4th button, but I
don't see any way of getting it to work in conjunction w/ the trackball (at
least the vertical axis) for scrolling.  

I've seen where a 4th and 5th button tied to a wheel can be used for scrolling,
but this doesn't seem to be of any use to me.

Anybody get this working?

If you're on RH, you can use:

service <service_name> stop
service <service_name> start
service <service_name> restart

Where <service_name> is replaced with the service you want to address,
e.g. xinetd, xntpd, afs, autofs, etc.

and "stop", "start", "restart" are what you want the service to do. 
Stop kills it, start starts it, restart does a stop then start.

Good luck.

Dave

Thanks for the reply. This doesn't seem to be the case for me, however.
First, I'm running Bigslack (Slackware 7) with Gnome installed (1.2.1, I
believe), though I don't run Gnome but use only Enlightenment, which
allows easy pop-up menu access to Gnome and Kde apps. When I bring up
the Gnome "Control Center," I find no power management option in the
screen saver settings panel (or anywhere else). I know I once saw this
feature in the Kde screen saver configuration in another distro. How
would I go about incorporating this? Do these power management settings,
when they exist, depend on a certain program that I could install and
configure from the command line?

TIA

Thanks so much for your help.  but "linux 3" can not resolve my problem.

I think it is because I did not describe my problem clearly.  In my linux, 
default mode is console text mode.  linux freezes when boot.  At that 
time, it is initializing my system, mounting file system, and executing 
those applications installed in my computer.  Just like this:

starting httpd:

starting font server:  (stop here, not response to any keys 
except "ctrl+alt+del")

Even I use "linux 3", it still does these work before login prompt.  So I 
wonder how to terminate this step(font server) and enter login so that I 
may reset x server or modify the init files removing font server startup?

Thanks again

Sean

At the LILO prompt type 'linux 3'. That will boot you into console mode.

Yes, it is a lot of work. The way we've done a similar system was to
write the website ( we used php and oracle, but I'd recommend php and
mysql - all completely free ), and then host it on our own hardware at
Level (3) to provide the connectivity. Credit card details were handed
over completely to WorldPay.

For a restaurant, I reckon this too over the top. There are, however,
many websites that offer php and mysql services, and that's the way
I'd go. I also wouldn't touch the Credit Card side with a bargepole!
It's far too much hassle for a concern of this size.

Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2000 12:00:26 -0500

Although the line
    sshd:143.20.3. 134.21.34.
Might work, I suggest breaking it up into two lines
    sshd:143.20.3.
    sshd:134.21.34.

If you are connecting from myhost to myhost, be sure to also include
    sshd:localhost
or
    sshd:127.0.0.1
in your hosts.allow file.

When you say "But myhost is in 143.20.3. subnet!"  ...  It doesn't matter
where the host is.  It only matters where the client is.  (Unless the
host is also the client.)

Next...
If sshd is not in the file /etc/inetd.conf, then hosts.allow and
hosts.deny are ignored.  If sshd runs as a standalone daemon, it doesn't
use the hosts files.  You can find out by reading the inetd.conf file,
and by typing ps -ef | grep ssh
You don't want ps to say anything about ssh.  Not unless somebody's
logged in through ssh.

Finally, if your client goes through a firewall, route, or other larger
network, you may have problems, because the IP address that the request
comes from is not the same as the IP address of your client machine.

Upon eyeball review, your entries look okay.

what does:
ps -aef | grep sshd

give you?  It sounds like you may not have sshd running.

Another thing to try is using:
ssh -v -l ....

The "-v" will put it in "verbose" mode.  You'll get a lot of information
printed out, but somewhere in it, you should find the problem.

HTH.

Shouldn't it be something like in.sshd: a.b.c.d ?
Depending on the sshd type, IP#'s may be specified in the
/etc/ssh/sshd.conf file, IIRC.

Subject: Installing Sendmail 8.11 on Redhat 6.1
Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2000 12:44:23 -0500

Hi Gurus,

I'm trying to compile and install Sendmail 8.11 on a Redhat 6.1 box. I'm
listing below the INSTALL file here. I'm clear about most of the steps
here but I need help on steps 2 and 7. This is the first time I'm doing
sendmail install from scratch. I've spent lots of time reading the
README's but I'm not yet clear on how I should do this. It's a
production system and I want to make sure I understand everything before
I do the install.

< INSTALL file>
   Installing sendmail 8.11-1

1. Read all the README files noted in the INTRODUCTION section of the
README
   file in this top-level directory.
ok

2. Create any necessary site configuration build files, as noted in
   devtools/Site/README.

What are site config files? Do I need them?

3. In the sendmail/ directory, run "sh Build" (see sendmail/README for
   details).
ok

4. Change to the cf/cf/ directory (that's not a typo): Copy whichever
.mc
   file best matches your environment to config.mc, where config can be
any
   name.  Next, tailor it as explained in cf/README.  Then run
   "sh Build config.cf".
ok

5. Back up your current /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and the sendmail binary
(whose
   location varies from operating system to operating system, but is
usually
   in /usr/sbin or /usr/lib).
ok

6. Install config.cf as /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and install the sendmail
binary
   built in step 3 by cd-ing back to sendmail/ and running "sh Build
install".
ok

7. For each of the associated sendmail utilities (makemap, mailstats,
etc.),
   read the README in the utility's directory.  When you are ready to
install
   it, back up your installed version and type "sh Build install".

There are no README files in the utilities directories. How am I
supposed to build?
I read the README in devtools but I didn't understand it fully. What is
siteconfig.m4 file?
