Hi
Is there anyone knowing Howto redirect http or ftp (or any other) made to a
gateway FROM INTERNET to a machine on a LAN (linux 2.2.17 ip masqued)
Example : My Gateway is known as "mylan.homeip.net" by internet users.
When a user type "mygateway.homeip.net" on his browser (port 80), then the
packet are redirected to port 80 on pc1.mylan.homeip.net. The purpose is to
delegate each service to a different machine (a FTP server, a HTTP server,
a GAME server, etc..), without allowing internet users to ping them (except
the port concerned by type of service).
I see two ways :
- Creating virtual hosts on Apache ??
- Using ipfwadm (what's the syntax ?)
Thx a lot if you made it.

Hi
I just installed openldap-2.0.7-14.i386.rpm on a RH 7.0, but the RPM
doesn't include any of the utilities to add entries to LDAP, such as
ldif2ldbm or ldapadd. Those used to be there in openldap-1.2.x.rpm.
Is there sthing like openldap-utilities.rpm that I should install?
Thx

I am using the 3c59x module. I have two ethernet interfaces in the computer. The
3c59x and the eepro100. I'm trying even to get just the eepro100 working. Both
would be even better.
Another note, the dmesg below shows eepro100 using "Intel Corporation 82557", but
the EtherExpress Pro that I have uses a 82559 chip. Could this also produce
issues?

Hi all.
I screwed up my RH 6.2 and I would like to fix my mess by upgrading to
RH 7.0.
Is there anything in particular that I should beware of/ be aware of?
I would prefer to upgrade rather than do a clean install. This is a
syslog server running no really mission critical apps. but there are
things on there that I am not sure about.
Help of course greatly appreciated.

Subject: httpd.conf and web log files
Date: Wed, 04 Apr 2001 13:11:16 -0400
I've been working with a Linux box where the httpd access logs are separated
by domain. Each virtual domain has it's own access-log and I could set up
logrotate to handle each log differently.
The Cobalt Raq3i machines that I have all have a combined access log. I'd
like to adjust how logrotate handles log for individual domains, but I can't
since the log is combined.
Is there a way to change the httpd.conf so that it doesn't combine the logs?
Is it possible to just add:
"CustomLog /var/log/httpd/some.domain-access_log"
to each virtual directory and those without it would be logged in the
default directory?

Some distros have something or other like that. Research "automount(er)"
in your man files or documentation. Automounting and mounting on bootup
are two entirely different things (don't forget).

THANKS!! That did it.
FWIW, I just put the line
127.0.0.1 localhost. localhost.domain chinook
into my /etc/hosts file. In fact, that is the whole file. Now, I don't
get sendmail or other startup errors, and when I start samba, my win2k
boxes see chinook. I don't know if chinook can see the other machines,
yet, or if I can print from chinook to my printers that are attached
to the ethernet and driven by one of my win2k machines, or connected
directly to my win2k machines, but that will be my next job.

I have got disk space quota stuff compiled into the kernel but cannot

If there is a FAQ that may contain the answer then I'll be happy to go

well, we're going to have to see that table first, so put that linux CD back
in,
and at the liloprompt enter "linux rescue" (this is the redhat way, mandrake
may call this different, but give it a try) Now when your in, `fdisk -l
/dev/hda` will show the table (You may need to mknod hda first, but perhaps
mandrake does that better than RH)

I'd love to know what triggers that too.
I know: check the source tree, but I haven't had the time for that yet
I've seen this occur when a partitiontable was made with different CHS, then
the HDD is reporting. Not sure if that was coincidence, or the cause. You
can check what the CHS values are the HDD is reporting, through fdisk, dmesg
or in the /proc filesystem (/proc/ide/hdXXX)

You should be careful *before* you press enter to ensure that the

Not exactly. The traditional DOS "FORMAT" command clears the two
FAT tables and then proceeds to write zeros to every data
sector. Newer versions offer a "quick format" option that simply
clears the FAT tables. Neither bothers with the boot record.
Using cat or dd to write zeros to the selected device writes to
every sector on the device, from the boot record to the last data
sector. "mke2fs" also sets up other structures such as the
superblocks, inodes and such like.

You shouldn't need to reinstall to do that. You can boot into
"rescue" mode from your installation CD and fix things that way.

Why do you want to delete them? These are various system users
that are created to allow certain programs to run without needing
"root" access. If you delete them, these programs will likely
fail and you'll need to run them under "root" which is a security
risk.

When I rotate logs (via logrotate) I'm getting this error:
errors occured while rotating /var/log/httpd/domain.com-access_log
stat of /var/log/httpd/domain.com-access_log failed: No such file or
directory
This only happens when the logrotate conf file (/etc/logrotate.d/apache) has
the "compress" option specified for the log. Without the "compress" option,
it rotates successfully (in this case it e-mails the log in the message
body). Wazzup with that? I'd rather it compress the log before it sends it
along.
