Subject: Getty disables 'shutdown -r now': a strange problem
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2000 02:17:24 GMT
I run into a strange problem when using getty.
In order to connect a serial console to COM2
on my Linux box A (/dev/ttyS1), I added a entry
7:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS1 9600 vt100
to /etc/inittab.
There was no problem to set up the serial console.
(I used minicom on another Linux box.)
However I got 2 problems:
(1) I keep getting 'getty respawning too fast, disable
for 5 mintues'
(2) When I telnet onto my Linux box A and then
use 'shutdown -r now' to reboot it, it doesn't
take effect if I disconnected the serial cable from the
serial port. The runlevel did change to 6, because
'runlevel' returns '3 6'. I can still do anything
from the telnet session. 'shutdown -r now' seems
to be ignored except the runlevel changed to 6.
Strangely, if I put the serial cable back to the
serial port, from the serial console, you can see
the system started to reboot:
"Stopping the keytable... [OK]"...
I don't have this problem if I did not add the entry
in /etc/inittab. Telneting onto the box A and 'shutdown -r now'
worked just fine.
Anybody has hint for this ?
Thanks in advance.

Date: 10 Nov 2000 03:23:54 GMT
I ran into this problem several times before I finally figured out what
was happening. I was using a different distribution, but that's not
part of the issue.
When a kernel is created, it has some default values built into it. The
kernel can be loaded several different ways. One way is to write it in
binary mode to a floppy diskette. Another is to use a boot loader. The
boot loader allows you to choose what partition you are going to boot
and, if it's a good boot loader, like "lilo", will also allow you to
pass override parameters to the kernel.
Regardless of how the kernel is loaded, it has to know what device has
the root file system on it. Linux, like all *nix, has a single-rooted
file heirarchy. In DOS, you have drive A:, B:, ... Z: each of which
has its own root directory.
In Linux, there's only one "root directory". It's on the root device.
Various physical disks are grafted into a directory tree
at mount points. But the tree has to have a root somewhere. What's
happening with the kernel panic, is that the kernel is getting loaded
from the floppy, and it thinks the root directory (root device) is
supposed to be /dev/hda20 (3:20 = hda20?). When the kernel goes out
to mount the root file system, it doesn't find the root file system
(root directory) it wants and it goes into a "panic".
What you need to do now is to override the default setting in the
kernel so that it expects to find the root file system on the actual
device where you installed the root file system. Either that, or you
need to use a boot loader that allows you to pass parameters to the
kernel. Kernel parameters passed this way will override the default
parameters in the kernel. You can tell your boot loader to ignore the
root device pointed to by the kernel, and
to use the file system on /dev/hdb5. It will be
quite happy. Or you can boot with a kernel that has /dev/hdb5 set
for its default.
I don't know much about NT, but from what I've read, you can use
NT loader to boot Linux as well as NT. That would allow you to have
a boot menu started from the hard drive. Pretty nice, useable
solution. To make it work smoothest, modify the kernel to look for
the root file system on /dev/hdb5. That doesn't take a recompile.
There's a utility called "rdev" that changes the root device
pointer in the kernel. There are a couple other items you can
change in the kernel using this utility, so I recommend you use
"man rdev" to get the low-down on it.
Once you've used rdev to modify the root device pointer in the
kernel, you won't get kernel panic anymore. You will also want to
consider swapdev, etc. ("man rdev" explains this) and the other
kernel settings. With the proper minor adjustments, you will be
able to boot using any of the popular methods. (NT boot loader,
floppy with raw kernel, floppy with lilo, OS2 loader, loadlin, ...)
If you like booting from a floppy, you might consider installing
just the lilo boot loader on the floppy. It takes only a second to
load. Much faster than the 10-20 seconds it takes to load the
entire kernel from a floppy.
Good luck.

Well, first thing to clear up is, could you compare and contrast
"SendMail" with sendmail? what are the differences, what are
the similarities, and where did you get "SendMail"?

This shouldn't be a problem on newer kernel's, but.....also, when I
upgraded my BIOS (I have an Abit board), the problem went away.
However, this is a classic FAQ. The BIOS standards for memory query
(Int 12h?) don't support the return of more than 64Mb of RAM. There
are a number of different mechanisms for doing this on different
chipsets, and some were "dangerous" (in the sense that they might
hang some systems with a different API/BIOS).
So, Linux didn't support automatic detection of more than 64Mb on most
systems until very recently (2.0.36?).
You've always been able to over-ride this with a kernel parameter. As
you may know from my earlier articles or from the LILO man pages you
can pass parameters to the Linux kernel using an append= directive in
your /etc/lilo.conf file (and subsequently runing /sbin/lilo, of
course) or by manually appending the parameters on the command line at
the LILO prompt (or on the LOADLIN.EXE command line).
To do this with lilo.conf you add lines of the form:
append="mem=128M"

Subject: Fetchmail problem on RH7
Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2000 22:01:27 -0800
Hi,
I'm trying to get fetchmail going on my new RH7 system. I have done
all recent updates to the system from RedHat.
I setup a .fetchmailrc which contains the following info:
poll <ip address> protocol POP3:
user "<userid>" with pass "<password>" is <linuxuser> here
I'm running fetchmail periodically from root cron. It appears to
hang. So I ran it manually as root and got this output:
14 messages for <user> at <ip address> (68694 octets).
reading message 1 of 15 (16582 octets) ........ fetchmail: socket
error while fetching from <ip address>
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
and it never completes!
On the mail server side, I can see fetchmail logging in and everything
appears to go ok but when the mail starts sending the two just
disconnect.
I know the mail server is ok. It has been running for 2 years and
supports linux and WinNT systems just fine. So I'm suspecting
something is not right in fetchmail.
I also tried manually delete some of the waiting messages in hopes
that it might be a corrupt message but that didn't help either.
Anybody have any ideas?

One more piece of info,
I downloaded a fetchmail binary from my old redhat 6.1 system and
tried running it. It ALSO gives the socket error.
There must be a setup issue somewhere in RH7. Any ideas?

Subject: Problem with group rights and Netscape Composer
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2000 06:59:02 GMT
I've search deja news, Linux HOWTOs, and books, and
I have not seen this error mentioned. Makes me think
it something on my end, but I can't figure out what
it is. I'm hoping someone can help.
I am running RedHat Linux 5.2 and Netscape 4.08.
I created a group called web and made a directory
/usr/local/webauth
I set the group and the SGID bit on that directory
chgrp -v web /usr/local/webauth
chmod -v 2775 /usr/local/webauth
Now for the problem:
Anyone in the web group should be able to save into
that directory. With Netscape composer they can only
edit files that already are in that directory!?!
If I use the "Save As" option in Netscape Composer to
save into that directory I get the following error:
"The file is marked read-only."
The same error occurs using the "Save" option to save
a new file to that directory. BUT, if I open a file from
that directory in netscape, edit it, and use the "Save"
option, it will write over the old file in that directory.
I can edit any existing html files created by anyone in
the "web" group.
What on earth is going on? The users belong to the web
group and they can all create files in
/usr/local/webauth via the touch command or emacs. The
users all have a umask of 002. The files they create
with touch or emacs are all are created
-rw-rw-r-- username.web filename
They can use emacs to open end edit each others files in
/usr/local/webauth, but they can't create new files
with netscape composer! They can only edit existing
files and save them to the same filename.
The only way I can get "Save As" and "Save" to create
new files in /usr/local/webauth is to set the permissions
to
chmod -v 2776 /usr/local/webauth
or
chmod -v 2777 /usr/local/webauth
which defeats the whole point of creating special work
groups and protecting the files from being written by
anyone not in the group.
If you can, please shed some light on this. Thank you.

What distro did you say?
RH6.5 ??
they went straight from 6.2 to 7.0, right?

Then try mounting it without the `noexec` flag
And besides,
/quote/
it gives me an error that says something similiar to this: ......can
only be executed on local disk only
/quote/
This is useless,
We will need the *exact* errormessage, or we cannot help you.

What configuration utility? What does it do, just reading a PCI vendor
ID, does not make your modem work.

Oh yeah right, like you never had the message, " put in the disc with
the driver for the BLAHBLAHBLAH device" I'm 100% sure that if you have a
winmodem, you needed to load drivers.
Linux does a far better job in supporting miscellaneous hardware
out-of-the-box than windows does.
And indeed, autodetect is not very elaborated on linux, but then again,
it's not needed that much, you don't have to reboot linux to install a
driver (unlike windows).
