I do not find something relevant in the Changes documentation immediately. Is it
safe to upgrade to the latest modutils or does it need to be syncronized with
the kernel version? Also what does IIRC mean?
I will check the current version number of modutils.

No idea.
I haven't upgraded yet, so I haven't looked into it (I just played a bit
with it).
But modutils changes are important for you if you want to insmod
the vfat module I'd guess.

Do it as root. You want to be able to back-up the users home
directories, and users generally don't have access to all or parts of
the directories of other users. Root has.
To do an automated job as root and have it run daily, add a script to
/etc/cron.daily/ You don't need to set a crontab.
Access to the tape device is also best left restricted to root (or
possibly members of a special group) as you state that you want to do
automated back-ups, which will leave a tape in the drive at all times.
You don't want anyone else to able to overwrite the data on that tape,
which would be possible if you changed /dev/st0's permissions.
Some considerations though:
Properly label tapes, and their containers. That's not a joke, finding
the correct floppy in a box of unlabled ones is bad enough, finding the
correct tape is much worse.
Manually rotate tapes, don't use a single tape for your weekly full
back-ups, but switch between at least two. You don't want to suffer a
dataloss, and then have to discover that the tape was faulty too, or
that the dataloss wasn't discovered before back-up time and you
overwrote the only back-up.
With automated procedures build in checks. Make sure that you get mail
when the procedure wasn't completed, the tape was full or whatever. Also
check what happens when you reach the end of the tape, does the back-up
stop, does the tape rewind, just like my vcr, and doesn't it continue
again at the beginning of the tape, overwriting the first bits.
Practice and document the recovery procedure, because you will only need
to use your back-ups in emergencies, when you won't have the luxury of
time to read howto's, manual pages, and work by trial-and-error. Have
them printed and ready next to the back-up tapes, not in a file or as a
script in your home directory.
Don't leave the back-ups sitting on top of the machine, you don't want
to be in any position where you can lose both at the same time. Leave
them in another room, or if they contain valuable data in a (data) safe.

Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Please Help!
I'm trying to set up an account in such a manner that all user activities
within terminal sessions launched from within that account are scripted to a
log file with the command 'script'. On an NCR UNIX box, this works
wonderfully for an account and I'm trying to set up the same procedure in
Red Hat Linux release 6.2EE (red Hat Linux 6.2 Enterprise Edition) Kernel
2.2.14-11.lfssmp on a 2-processor i686
Here's what happens:
In the user's .bash_profile for a user 'oper1', I added the following line
at the bottom of the file /home/oper1/.bash_profile:
script -a /log/operlog
It seems that if the same line is added to the /home/oper1/.bashrc file, it
blows up spectacularly.
1)I can log in and go to the GNOME desktop as user 'oper1' with the 'script'
command line inserted at the bottom of the .bash_profile
2)Nothing seems to happen (in terms of 'script started' when I launch a
Gnome Terminal or a regular Xterm) once I'm in the desktop environment.
3)However, when I sat at my WinNT client and used telnet to get into the Red
Hat server as 'oper1', the script command ran and displayed the following:
Last login: Wed Mar 21 14:09:28 on :0
Script started, file is /log/operlog
[oper1@redhat oper1]$
4)If I exit the telnet session on my NT client, then go back and sit at the
Red Hat server and log on as 'oper1', I can verify that /log/operlog does
indeed have the output of the script command, but the only info that was
logged with the script to /log/operlog was what I had done with the previous
telnet session...when that session terminated, my log stopped getting data.
5)But, if I open a terminal session while already logged in as 'oper1' at
the server (in GNOME) itself, nothing special happens...no 'Script started'
message at all, and nothing is sent to /log/operlog.
6)Is there somewhere else I also need to add that 'script' command line to
so that once I'm logged into a GNOME session as 'oper1', that terminal
sessions fired off from within the desktop environment are logging to
/log/operlog as well?
I'm stumped.
Thank you a thousandfold in advance for your help!

You probably need a driver.
Are these on a SCSI drive?
On a UDMA66/100 controller?
Go to the website of the distribution you want and search for
a bootdisk with the appropriote drivers included.

I presume you _are_ setting the hardware clock first, and then setting the

hwclock --set --date=newdate (sets hardware clock, hence on computer board)
hwclock --hctosys (sets system to the hardware)

possibly bashrc invoces script. scripts is a shell script, which invokes
/bin/sh. /bin/sh often is simply a symlink to /bin/bash. Since sh/bash
is run interactively it tries to read ~/.bashrc which invokes script
again. Endless loop.
[ snip: sometimes script is started; sometimes it isn't]
>I'm stumped.
>
>Thank you a thousandfold in advance for your help!
Bash (and most other shells) make a difference between login shells and
interactive shells which aren't invoked as login shells.
Depending on which different config files are read.
~/.bash_profile is only read for login shells. ~/.bashrc for interactive
shells.
>From the manual page:
INVOCATION
A login shell is one whose first character of argument
zero is a -, or one started with the --login option.
An interactive shell is one started without non-option
arguments and without the -c option whose standard input
and output are both connected to terminals (as determined
by isatty(3)), or one started with the -i option. PS1 is
set and $- includes i if bash is interactive, allowing a
shell script or a startup file to test this state.
The following paragraphs describe how bash executes its
startup files. If any of the files exist but cannot be
read, bash reports an error. Tildes are expanded in file
names as described below under Tilde Expansion in the
EXPANSION section.
When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as
a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first
reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if
that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that
order, and reads and executes commands from the first one
that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may
be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behav-
ior.
When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands
from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is
started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc,
if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the
--norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash
to read and execute commands from file instead of
~/.bashrc.

I am attemping to install VMWare 2.04 for Linux on a fresh Red Hat 7
install. RH7 comes with the 2.2.16-22 kernel.
VMWare installs okay, but I am getting the following error during the
configuration portion; "kernel headers (version 2.4.0-0.26) does not
match your running kernel (version 2.2.16-22)"
I searched Redhat's site, (as well as a ftp search through Lycos) and
there is not a matching version of kernel- headers for 2.2.16-22 (it
has to match exactly, so I tried 2.2.16-3, etc and it did not work).
Since RedHat has not released the 2.4 kernel for V7 yet (and I am not
sure that I want to do a kernel recompile) I am stuck at this point.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank You

Your system has 2 clocks, software (system) and hardware (bios).
They both need to be correct and sync'd. I have this alias in my
/etc/bashrc :
alias tdate="rdate -sp time.nist.gov && hwclock --systohc"
Typing 'tdate' as root, while connected, sets the software clock to
time.nist.gov. Then, and only if that was successful, the '&& hwclock
--systohc' part, syncs the hardware clock to the just corrected
software clock. (see man rdate and man hwclock)

Hi everyone,
I am currently running RedHat 7 kernel 2.4.2. I am also running
SSH version 2 on this box. I understand that SSH version does
have backward compability with SSH version 1. I usually login
to this box from my windows machine (98/NT) with TeraTerm Pro.
I understand that Teraterm does NOT support SSH version 2. Does
it mean that I am logging to my Linux box with SSH1? I look under
at the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file in the linux box and it says that
it supports both SSH1 and SSH2. If this is the case, does it mean
that I am vulnerable to all the security vulnerabilities that are
associated with SSH1? Is it much more secure if I just turn off
SSH1 completely? Please help me because I would like to learn as
much about SSH as possible. Thanks.

Subject: SuSE: Printer Margins
Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 15:06:06 GMT
Hallo,
since I upgraded from SuSE 6.1 to SuSE 7.1, I cannot adjust
the printer margins. My printer is Epson LQ 570+.
I edited /var/lib/apsfilter/preloads/margins.ps and included
it in /etc/apsfilterrc by PRELOADS="margins.ps".
(Giving the full path does not make a difference.)
The margins I set are completely ignored.
Setting margins worked in SuSE 6.1. What�s wrong?
TIA
Onno Garms
