The following is Mandrake 7.0 (Pentium optimized RedHat), but works
equally on SuSE 7.1. My CMOS clock uses localtime (timezone properly set
during install). Not sure why your 'ls' is different, since its man pages
do not mention timezone, but try setting TZ and see if 'ls' pays any
attention to that:

I gave RH7 a try a couple months ago and one of the stumbling blocks
that caused me to give up in frustration and wipe it was trying to set
up my camera.
I found a page where instructions were given on setting up USB...
http://home.pacbell.net/david-b/digicam/
...and my particular camera, but unfortunately my insufficient level
of knowledge made the instructions too difficult to understand. The
author assumes his audience knows what "making things modular,"
"hotplugging," "nodes," and "usbdevfs facility" mean. I am boggled.
I plan to give Mandrake 8 another try over the long weekend. I
managed to learn a lot with RH7 before I gave up in frustration, and
I've worked up the guts to go at it again.
If someone could help me either decipher the instructions at the page
above, or explain how it will work with Mandrake 8 (which I think may
come with a newer kernal with more USB support) I'd greatly appreciate
it.
I can't really place exactly where I got lost because none of the
territory ever looked familiar, so sorry I can't ask a more specific
question. All I can say is, after I followed his instructions the
best I could, gphoto still couldn't communicate with my camera.
Once I get it set up and understand the whole thing I'll write another
set of instructions on it aimed at newbies like myself.
Thanks in advance for any help....

man pppd
See what it passes to /etc/ppp/ip-up (or ip-up.local RedHat/Mandrake).
You could do your ipchains rules from there.
But I simply do that in /etc/rc.d/rc.local using the ppp0 interface
instead of a specific IP, so it is always enforced and works automagically
for any ISP I connect to with static or dynamic ppp IP.

Redhat does come with apache (I asume the latest version), but I don't want
to use the rpms for the servers. For me, anyway, I like to have more
control on where the files are installed and such. For example, the rpms
put the conf files in /etc/? and the binaries in /bin or /usr/bin along with
a hundred other binaries, and I like to keep all the files that go to one
program (eg: apache, jakarta, etc.) in their own subdirectories. I
downloaded 1.3.6 off of the apache website, maybe I downloaded the wrong
one? I did, I downloaded the archive with the binaries, I guess I'll need to
get the source and compile it myself. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Thank you very much for your help.
Problem solved when I force ssh protocol version 1 on client

This is the line that concerns me though. The modprobe "can't locate
module char-major-6, as far as I know, isn't related. I get the same thing
all the time, and I think it deals with the character device set?
Okay, so kppp can't find device ppp...
Hmmm. Have you tried wvdial? If you're not still getting the
"chap_passwd_hook" message, then I think you're in business.
try: ls -l /dev/pp*
See if you have a device called /dev/ppp, that's how mine was setup. Kppp
somehow assumed that I too was using a dev called ppp0. So I just,
ln -s /dev/ppp /dev/ppp0
And cha-ching, came up like a champ after that.
Let me know.

fwiw, I expect this is unrelated. char-major-6 is lp om my Suse 7.1
box. If you don't have a printer, edit /etc/modules.conf and do:
alias char-major-6 off
If you do have a printer, I doubt it works or is correctly configured.

Just a thought from someone with little linux experience. I did the same
when installing NT for a dual boot (fdisked everything instead of the
partition I thought I had selected) , and found a program called MRecover
that restored the partition table and brought everything back to the way it
was. ( I was amazed as I had almost given up after trying several
commercial recovery prog. demos.) It was also very fast and easy to use.
It was written for the CIH virus by Monirul Islam Sharif.
You can get it at http://members.xoom.com/monirdomain
I see on the readme :
"MRECOVER should now identify and recover LINUX partitions (except the first
one)."...
Guess that means the boot partition.
Anyway, someone here will probably know a better way using linux.
good luck,
Robert

Yes, you are using the useradd -p parameter I suspect. Useradd expects an
encrypted password as the parameter to the -p option. If you want to set the
user password from the command line, you will want to create the user account
and then issue a "passwd" command at the command line.
Failing that, you will have to write your own little program which uses the
"crypt()" function call and returns the encrypted string. From there you can
use the string as a parameter to useradd.
The "-p" parameter is normally used within programs which actually add a user
to the system. The program itself generates the encrypted password and then
passes it in as a parameter to the useradd program which creates the user.
See ya

it also sounds like you untarred in /usr/local/squid, this is not a good

It's similar but not the same. Mine is large because of all the
network playing my friends and I do. I have about 12 different
networks (many host of 12 different networks). I have a rather large

I'm thinking 16 meg might do it, Jolly Joe. ;-)
I've been playing around with Peanut Linux both UMSDOS and also on a
regular ext2 partition. Bzipped2 tar ball for the whole thing is a
little over 90 meg, It expands out to about 312 meg, has KDE 2.1 and
full XFree interface or all the necessary stuff to simply run console if
that is what you like. Has all the necessary tools to install from a DOS
partition to UMSDOS or to a prepared ext2 partition and boot from DOS,
boot disk or conventional LILO. Another sixteen meg or so of disk space
will get you a compiler that will let you build non GUI apps and
recompile a kernel. It comes with 2.2.19 kernel and I believe the same
libs that RH 6.2 and the other Linux 2.whatever distros come with.
http://www.ibiblio.org/peanut will if I remember correctly get you
there.

You need to either apply the registry patch which comes with SAMBA to tell
Win2000 to send plaintext passwords to samba or you need to tell SAMBA that it
is to expect "encrypt passwords = yes". This will solve your access problems
from Win2000 to the Linux server.
See ya
