OK, here is how I set up my Zip100 parallel port drive. I added the
following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
# Zip Drive Access
insmod parport
insmod ppa
insmod lp
Then I added this line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda /mnt/zip ext2 user,noexec,nodev,nosuid,rw,noauto 0 0
Note that the filetype is ext2--I prefer to reformat my Zip disks.
Finally, add the mount-point "/mnt/zip" or whatever you prefer.
Good Luck!
Tim

Could somebody tell me the right steps to set up qmail?
I have two mail accounts: one is from the ISP, the other is from a mail server.
The ISP's domain name is home.com.
When I set localhost and localdomain, outgoing mails was failed so I changed like
above.
Also, using local hostname like 'hanixsmp' failed to delivery outgoing mails. The
below is the the domain and host information under /var/qmail/control I set.
The routing path is like this.
ISP's mail server
Linux Router
qmail server
defaultdomain: localhost
defaulthost: some_company.com
locals: localhost
me: localhost
plusdomain: localhost
rcpthost: localhost
Send e-mail some_company.com and home.com works fine and other domains too. but, when
I send to hotmail.com, the mail server rejects the mail as below:
Apr 20 14:17:55 qmail: 987790675.080557 starting delivery 51: msg 357746 to remote

I changed the defaultdomain as 'home.com' the ISP's domain name but, no effect.

hello,
i had redhat6.2 on my computer and i upgraded to 7.0. on 6.2 samba and swat
was running and setup properly. after the upgrade netscape cannot access
swat ie. samba.
A network error occured while netscape was receiving data.(network error:
connection reset by peer) try connection again.
now neither swat nor samba is running.
i noticed that my smb.conf was backed up to smb.conf.rpmsave and inetd.conf
was also. i tried renaming them. but that still did not resolve the problem.
thank you,
kenny.

For what it's worth. I had a lot of problems with RH7.0. Recently installed
RH7.1 and it worked MUCH better. Worth the upgrade I think.

Cool, I'm using SuSE 7 with a few things modified, but I've never ran gcc
at anything over 2.95.2 (explaining why I've never heard of kgcc).

Is this going to be remedied for gcc 3 (which I have only heard
prototypical things about thus far)?

Eh, of couse it won't boot. Installing lilo an the primary harddisk
makes sure, it won't boot on the other and vice versa. Get an ancient
200Mb disk or so and use it for /boot. Having /boot on raid is an - ahem
- brave thing.

md0 boot partition? Don't put /boot on raid - you ask for problems that
way.

You cannot have lilo installed twice. One of the configurations will
overwrite the other. The most important thing is probably the map-file.
It cannot be shared, so don't try.

You probably could fiddle with lilo and get it to boot from both disks.
However, it is not sure, your bios will boot on both hard drives. I
think the best bet is to get a tiny disk for /boot and install it. And
of course (seems to be a critical system) have an identical twin ready
for use...
If one harddisk should crash, there is a pretty big chance, it will need
human intervention anyway to make it boot again...

It _is_ involved. The RedHat setup always tries to solve the IP of the
client (and probably the server too). So make sure, people's IP's
resolve. Or turn DNS lookups off (in xinetd/inetd and wuftpd). Also make
sure, neither inetd/xinetd or wuftpd does identd lookups. If they are
firewalled in the other end, it will hang a loong time in trying to
connect to identd.

Some time ago, we had a misconfigured network. Our optics (suited only
for full-duplex), was somehow running half-duplex. Don't know why, but
having those half/full duplex trouble hit linux rather hard. Connections
to/from my box went 80kb/s with Linux and Windows could do around 600k.
Now, running full-duplex, Linux does <10Mb/s and Windows <3Mb/s :)
So check for half/full duplex mismatches.

It has been remedied for quite some time, in the rawhide packages anyway.
I've used rawhide's gcc for kernel compiling on a RH7 system for some time
(it works on my system anyway, but YMMV I suppose). Sorry, I don't
remember the specific version or whether or not the official gcc update
(gcc-2.96-69) fixes it.

I have a Viking 56K ISA Modem (a renamed Rockwell 56K ACF II
Fax+Data+Voice Modem).
The modem is said to work with DOS and therefore should work with
Linux. I've disable the com ports in the CMOS. I've tried both setting
the IRQ and the I/O port with ISAPNP and with the jumpers on the card.
ISAPNP says it gives it an address but I can't get it to work with
anything. I've tried using minicom both ways (ISAPNP and jumpers). If
anyone has a Rockwell 56K ACF II modem and has it working tell me how.
Thank you.

Hi all,
I have two kernels sharing the same partiton.
a 2.2.16 from the RH 7.0 distro, and 2.2.18 from source.
The 2.2.16 has no problems mounting the floppy or zip,
but when I run 'mount /mnt/zip' on the 2.2.18 I get:
hdd: driver not present
mount: /dev/hdd4 has wrong major or minor number
I thought having CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=y
would include this driver in my kernel.
Do I need some other config options?
I have no modules in the 2.2.18 kernel,
I had troubles getting them auto-probed.

Congratulations! For windows printing you need the Samba package. It's probably
installed by default on Suse. The command is smbprint.

Make sure you have smbd and nmbd starting, either manually or on
bootup (to configure on bootup add script to /etc/inet.d).
Also do the same for apache.
Once you know that both samba and Apache are starting up add this to
your /etc/services file.
swat 901/tcp
Then add the following to your /etc/inet.conf file
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/swat
After you do this swat should be back up and running. Note that I
usually set-up Debian servers from source so this may or may not be
the correct places for swat configuration.

Sorry bit,
I posted the code outside this thread... but it is only a couple threads
away....
I tried this, and I still get nothing...
BTW: How did you know it was nic-c54-102?
Also, doing ls -al /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 simply tells me
the mode for that file.... unless I am missing something there.... Was that
a typo, or am I in err?
Thanks a lot for your help!
