Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 21:24:24 GMT
I'm running a dual boot machine (Windows 98SE/ME on one side & SuSE Linux
7.0 on the other). Windows works as can be expected, but Linux is giving me
fits.
It was working to some extent; but a hard shutdown corrupted a few files,
and I had to reformat the Linux partition, then reinstall Linux. Now, when I
type in "startx" at the @prompt, I get an error message:
"There is no link between /var/x11r6/bin/x to /usr/x11r6/bin/xf86_xxxx which
is the binary of the instaled x server. Am aborting now."
I don't understand how a link could be corrupted or missing when it is
(supposedly) included on a CD-ROM and the CD-ROM is nowhere near the
machine. Then (supposedly) reinstalled on a fresh hard drive partition. What
do I have to type into the machine to restore the link?
System: Compaq Presario w/AMD K-6 3D; 13 GB hard drive; 216 MB RAM; CD-RW
drive; Iomega 100 Zip drive; standard IDE floppy & controller; etc.
Tried contacting Compaq for hints and specs (whatta mistake); tried SuSE
Linux which didn't offer much help; now, here I am.
Tomorrow: I followed all of the instructions, but the damn thing still
doesn't work!

At the risk of precipitating the two year flame war that Peter mentioned,
I'll recommend Debian. It's package management system is very clued in to
the dependencies between packages yet sufficiently fine in granularity
that you don't need to drag the kitchen sink in with a basic install. For
the services you want to provide, you'll be able to install on 500MB with
room to spare for log files, etc.
My $.02 worth.

Thank you so much!!!
I made a variation for the sake of not confusing myself. /dev/cdrom and
/dev/cdrom1 were sym links to /dev/hdd and /dev/sr0. So I created another
set of symlinks to /dev/hdd and /dev/sr0 named /dev/udf_cdrom and
/dev/udf_cdrom1. I then made different mount directories for them (like you
said), and put in unique entries in fstab (like you said). Now I can mount
either an iso cd or a udf cd in the same drive as a user! Still, I don't
know why the auto entry in fstab doesn't find udf. Maybe this is something
that needs to be addressed in the next version of mount. dunno.

I don't know the answer, but i'm interested in it. I'm trying to do the same
thing, but I'd prefer to have the Win2k bootloader load LILO. All the info
I've found concerns a single hard drive as well. I tried loading LILO into
hdg1 (the /boot partition), copying the bootsector, and putting an entry in
the boot.ini file, which didn't work. I also tried bootpart <a program which
reads bootsectors and adds boot.ini entries automatically>, which also
didn't work. When I choose to boot linux from the Win2k bootloader, I just
get LI printed on the screen.
Any help appreciated.

I don't quite understand what you're asking. Are you inquiring on
whether you can run Linux on top of Unix? AFAIK, that isn't an option,
but i could be wrong. I do wonder why you'd want to do such a thing
though.

Subject: su, pam, Red Hat 7.0: I made a boo-boo
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 17:24:06 -0600
Greetings,
I screwed up royally. Details, details.
I was trying to secure the su command and let only certain users execute it.
Keep in mind that I totally forgot about pam.
What I did was:
$ groupadd suers
$ vi /etc/group
~
suers:x:550:root,joe
~
$ chown root:suers /bin/su
Then when I tried to:
$ su -
Password:
Password Incorrect
$
even though I can logout and login as root. So I know I am not crapping on
the root passwd.
I know now that all I had to do is uncomment certain lines in /etc/pam.d/su
and active the trusted group 'wheel' (and add certain people to wheel).
I tried to undo everything by:
$ chown root:root /bin/su
$ vi /etc/group
~
# suers:x:550:root,joe
~
But I still get the same "Password Incorrect". If I try to vi /etc/pam.d/su
to activate 'wheel' as a trusted group, I do not get a chance to insert a
password... after I '$ su -', I get 'Password Incorrect' automatically.
This is a dodo question but can I reinstall su or pam and will that correct
everything?

It sounds like you may have an issue with the lpd daemon.

Restarting lpd causes lpd to reread the printcap file.
Also, lpd can be restarted with
/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd restart

So what I did was rename httpd.conf to httpd.bak and

Eh, what is the definition of a unix system (and a linux system :-)) ?
Unix and linux are operating systems that run on a hardware platform, i.e.
NOT on another operating system.
For example:
- Linux can run on Intel machines (x86)
- Windows can run on intel machines too
- But, Linux does not 'run on' Windows; and Windows does not 'run on' Linux
and
- Solaris runs on Sparc machines
- Linux can run on Sparc machines
and
- Linux can run on PowerPC machines
etc etc

Do you mean running both at the same time?
Closest to what you may be asking for is "vmware". It'll let you run
multiple Intel based O/S's concurrently. eg. Windows and Linux or
Caldera Linux and Turbolinux - you could even create a whole network of
virtual Linux's running on a single PC (if your hardware was powerful
enough) to simulate your real network configuration.
The software for UNIX like Solaris and AIX will not run on Intel
(hardware) systems.
