Subject: LG ide cd-rw on RH 6.2
Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2000 14:12:26 GMT
Hi there,
I got a new PIII 800 with LG CED-8080B. The OS is Redhat 6.2
with kernel upgraded to 2.2.16-3. The problem is that I couldn't
make the LG CD-RW work with cdrecord 1.9.
This is what I did:
1. Kernel config
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDSCSI=m
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR_VENDOR=y
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=m
2. Load moduls at boot time
Added
options ide-cd ignore=hdb
options ide-cd ignore=hdc
alias scd0 sr_mod
alias scd1 sr_mod
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
in /etc/conf.module.
Added
append="hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi"
in /etc/lilo.conf.
3. After boot, I checked all modules scsi_mod, sg,
sr_mod, loop, iso9660, and ide-scsi are loaded.
Also all devices /dev/loop0-7 and /dev/sg0-7 are
created by following script provided in CD writing HOWTO
umask -S u=rwx,g=rwx,o-rwx
[ -f loop0 ] \
|| ./MAKEDEV loop \
|| for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do mknod loop$i b 7 $i; done
[ -f sg0 -o -f sga ] \
|| ./MAKEDEV sg \
|| for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do mknod sg$i c 21 $i; done
4. Then run "cdrecord -scanbus" by root always gives me
Cdrecord 1.9 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 J�rg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are
root.
5. Check with dmesg, it seems the cd-rw is alway configured as hdc,
even if I disabled parameter ide-cd in the kernel.
Here is what I saw from dmesg:
hda: SAMSUNG SV2044D, ATA DISK drive

I have searched for helpful information on Internet all along, it seems
nothing gives me more than the CD writing HOWTO. Has anyone
configured the LG CD-RW successfully? Please help me. Any input
will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Two modems on one machine?
Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2000 14:14:40 GMT
Please help. I have a dual-boot machine with an internal winmodem which
works well with Windows (AOpen FM56-SLM), but of course it is not
recognized by Linux. I have also an external modem (USRobotics 56k) which
was working perfectly on my old Macintosh and I want to attach it to my
dual-boot machine. The question is can I install it to work with Linux. even
though the winmodem installed? Or do I have to de-install the winmodem
first? I tried to make it work but no luck so far.

Subject: Re: scie emulation / cd burners
Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2000 14:27:37 GMT
You haven't mentioned which Linux distribution you are using BUT if it
is mandrake no kernel compiling is required, all the modules are
already there.
On my Mandrake 7.0 (originally on Mandrake 6.1) installation I got the
burner working with the following process:
1) As root tell Linux not to grab the CDWriter as IDE.
- Since I only have one CD this may change for you.
- You can also do this at the LILO prompt BUT this is the permanet
solution.
- Edit /etc/lilo.conf ... make the Linux section look something
like (depending on where your CDR is ... mine is on /dev/hdb) ...
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda4
label = linux
append="hdb=ide-scsi"
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for
checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
1a) Issue the "lilo" command to make the change active.
2) On boot tell linux to load the scsi-ide module.
Edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, and near the end add:
echo "Activating IDE-SCSI emulation for CD-RW!"
rmmod ide-cd
insmod ide-scsi
3) Point the CDROM link to the new device:
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
Now reboot linux and see if it works.
4) Check it ...
From the shell type "cdrecord -scanbus" ... something like this
should result ...

Linux way:
hda1: first primary partition on master-device on first IDE controller
hda2: second primary partition on master-device on first IDE controller
hda3: third primary partition on master-device on first IDE controller
hda4: fourth primary partition on master-device on first IDE controller
hda5: first logical partition on master-device on first IDE controller
hda6-16: rest of the logical partitions on master-device on first IDE
controller
(same goes for hdb, expect that hdb is the slave-device on primary
controller)
Windows way:
C: first partition of which the partition ID is known to windows
D: second ....
Thus windows drive letter assignments have nothing to do with their
physical location.
You can have multiple drives/partitions in between C: and D: , as long
as windows doesn't know the partition ID, it will not assign a drive
letter to that partition.

Thanks Jerry, as far as I know my etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files are fine.
I can ping between the computers when I have an ethernet link up and

I'll try and get PLIP up and running again tonight. If I cannot I may

hello,
this one might be obvious. but i still need your collective input.
i setup a smb or remote printer using printtool. the setup looks correct due
to the fact
that i have successfully done this part before. this difference this time is
i have an nec superscript 870 laser printer. when i send a test print from
printtool it prints a page once and never again unless i delete the printer
entry and redo the setup.
of course the nec870 is not one of the choises of printers offered by
printtool.
when it prints the original test page the output says something like add
CR-LF/CR.
this occurs when i selected "text printer" as the driver.
if i select "postscript printer" then the output is also weird.
i have rh6.2 linux as the server and the printer is connected to a win98
client.
thank you,
kenny.

I messed up when I posted this last night. I cut and pasted and did not
change all the values.
The blocks are as follows:
/dev/hda1 1052226

/dev/hda3 1855507+
/dev/hda4 1847475

Subject: SSH WORKS!: Disable telnet?
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 09:11:45 -0700
I have my ssh working and would like to disable normal telnet .... Would
I just comment out the line
'telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd' out of
my inetd.conf? Will that close off the port? Or do I need to comment the
appropriate line out of the /etc/services file too? Thanx
