Re: [expert] copying files with scp
Surely a lapsus, it should be (replace user with your own login name): for i in * ; do chown -R user:user $i ; done Anyway, maybe you can make a one-file from them before (tar, cpio, ...) so after you scp it and decompress it on the new server you will probably have the "right" owner (it's quite probably as sugested that the UID and GID will not correspond to the one on the new server and you'll have to change them or type the line before). Maybe someone knows how to do it directly with scp options. Good luck.

Use rsync over ssh. It'll preserve ownership of the files as well as

As an additional precaution, you might want to look into getting and using chkrootkit.

Re: [expert] copying files with scp
If I'm reading the man page correctly, the -p option preserves the modes of the files (e.g. rwx), not the owner. Keeping the owners could be a bit problematic, since the owner id on one system is probably different from the owner id on another system... If all of the your files need to have the same owner, I would first copy them to some empty temp directory, do a 'chown user.group -R *' in that directory, then move them to where they need to be... Otherwise, I have no simple answers... :) (Although, it should be possible to create a script that changes the owner, based on the directory name under home (e.g. /home/plughead.) Something like: cd /home for i in * ; do chown $i.$i -R $i ; done might do the trick...)

[expert] copying files with scp
Hi guys, Time to change over the mail server and am copying down /home to the new server. I am currently trying to do this via scp, now i dont claim to be any expert but from reading the man pages on scp i should be able to use the -rp switches to 1. Copy recursively and 2. maintain file permissions of those directories and subdir. Anyway my problem is twofold and i would really appreciate any assistance you guys could give. The first thing is copying the directories over, The command i am using is, scp -rp X.X.X.X /home/* /home/ Now this sure gets the directory down but then they are all owned by root and are in the root group. Now this is obviously going to be a problem. What am i doing wrong ? Does anyone out there know how to maintain the permissions of the files. The second issue is if i have the files down and they are all owned by root and in the root group, does anyone have a script that would allow me to change the ownership and groups of the 120 or so directorys. The ideal i spose would be to copy the necessary home directorys without changing the permissions in the first place. Sorry if it is a bit rambling, would be great if someone was able to assist.

RE: [expert] hard disk booting issue IBM PC.
Hi Charles... Sorry tookl so long to respond.. I shut down the box to check the apm settings and to see if I could specify SCSI as a boot device..

I am starting to think that maybe an old hdd could be hooked up to the standard ide's to instigate a boot from the 40gig.. basically use the old drive as a fast boot disk... can't think of what else to do... maybe i need only put that drive in and put lilo on it.. rgds frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:expert-owner@;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of Charles A Edwards Sent: Friday, 8 November 2002 6:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] hard disk booting issue IBM PC.

The answer was no farther away than the README.Linux file found in your installation of UT2003. Q: I get the following text on my console when I run the game: Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0". Is this a problem? A: No. This means you aren't using an X server from Xi Graphics. That message means we're looking for the X11 extension they use to change screen resolutions, and having a non-XiG X server, you don't have it. THIS IS NOT A UT2003 BUG. It's not a bug at all. Xlib prints that "error", but we handle it gracefully. So if you are having a problem (I'm running UT2003 OK here on Mandrake 9.0), check out the UT2003 newsgroup. But it may be that your video card is not supported, since it must supply S3TC support.

Re: [expert] hard disk booting issue IBM PC.
Even if the BIOS can only see 8G, Linux should see and use then
entire disk quite happily. It doesn't depend on the BIOS for
that info. If you want to use windows as well, you may need to
create an initial 8G (or less) partition for it. You could then
boot the disk with no problems.
But: If you want to use your new controller card, you will need
either of 2 things (so far as I know, these are the only ways) -
1. If the BIOS supports it, tell it to boot from the SCSI device.
I know it's not SCSI, but for booting purposes the BIOS will
treat it as such. Everything will look normal once it has
booted. (I have done this on my own machine.)
2. Failing that, you will have to configure a boot floppy and
boot off that.

by itself the bios doesn't recognise the drive (see's it as an 8gig).. so I
bought a PCI controller card and plugged it in.
after hooking it all up, the card's bios see's the drive and reports its

but I still can't boot from it... I still need to use a boot floppy.

However, on the gateway box I have default gateway set to 172.0.0.1 - now I can access the internet from the gateway box (ping sites, etc) but not from a networked device like my laptop although I can still log in via ssh and webmin to the gateway (just not ping internet sites).

Re: [expert] kernel recompile
Success Thanks everyone for your help - I've finally learned how to recompile my kernel Ya-hoo!!! The only problem I had on the last round was that lilo choked because make install chose to long of a name for the "label" tag in lilo.conf. I fixed that and everything else went great!

Re: LAST QUESTION :) Re: [expert] Intruder security questions
I'd run an nmap scan of my box. do urpmi nmap --fuzzy to find out all the rpms available here (nmap is nmap but there are some different gui's available) Run the scan and if you see something open that you don't want open, close it. The biggest reason this is useful is because it's the same technique the black hats use to find out where and how to attack.

I always just change the makefile extraversion and that leaves the new modules installed in their own directory. This way if your reboot fails then at least you still have the originals to fall back on. If you've already deleted them you might try forceing a reinstallation of the mandrake kernel to get them back. On your original problem of mkinitrd, did you include TCP/IP networking(under Networking options)? I think I'm correct in saying that this contains the loop device mentioned in Documentation/initrd.txt that is required for initrd. Having said that, I manage to boot my kernel without initrd (I have removed the line in the section of lilo.conf "initrd=/boot/initrd..." from where I boot my kernel). I just made sure that IDE/UDMA and ext3 drivers that I use for my root disk partition were compiled into the kernel. It seems to work fine for me and both simplifies and speeds up the boot process. If you can get your kernel compiled with whatever drivers are needed to mount the root file system and if you can install any modules(after adjusting the makefile extraversion to suit) with make modules_install, then perhaps you could just copy the bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-whatever along with the system map and then make manual entries in /etc/lilo.conf to boot that kernel and forget about an initrd entry. Don't forget to run lilo after all this to update the mbr As far as I understand, initrd's main purpose is to enable the loading of whatever modules are required to mount the root file system. If those are already compiled into the kernel then basically initrd is not required to mount the root file system. Hope this helps, Robin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

That's what I figured. It's running 'make modules' right now and I didn't delete the /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION directory this time so we'll see what happens.

Re: [expert] kernel recompile
Hi, Try running it from my directions, it will automatically rename the new kernel to -XXcustom. You will end up with a complete new kernel and all the drakboot entries. I have tried using your approach and it never left me with a usable system. The method I listed is what I have been using in travels in cooker land and it has never failed me yet. Give it a try.

Re: [expert] kernel recompile
Hey Simon, This is what I did: cd to /usr/src/2.4.19-xx make mrproper (didn't bother saving .config since I hadn't put anything in it yet.) edit makefile changing extraversion to 'mikescustom' delete /lib/modules/2.4.19-xx (as instructed to if you're not patching your kernel) make menuconfig (load /boot/config) make dep make clean bzImage modules make modules_install install I'm think that since I'm changing the extraversion entry in the makefile that it should create a new modules directory under /lib/modules and that I may not have to delete the old one - at least then I should be able to do the work around, which is 'modprobe loop'. I tried restarting service devfsd last night, but there was no rescuing from where I was at, so I reloaded mdk 9.0 and I'm planning to try rebuilding again today. Any thoughts on that plan of action?

Re: [expert] Portable MP3 & MD players?
I have an older Nomad player (mp3) from creative which takes 128MB smart media cards. I used to look around on the net for others that might be using it under linux and I found one person with a project that never really made it very far. Rio seems to have some kind of kernel support, but that's the only one I've seen for linux. My 'brainstorm' was that since my smart media card is removeable, I would just plug a card reader into the computer and transfer files like you would a floppy for example. I've got that plugged into my imac for now because I already had a card reader that worked on it and I didn't feel like buying another one that was linux ready. Anyway, my suggestion is this; before you buy, find out what kind of media it uses and if you can spend $20 on a linux type media reader for it - it's easier than using that screwy software that comes bundled anyway. Another note; quite a few mp3 players are shipping with hard drives now - one in particular which I can't remember the name of, doubles as an external usb hard drive. Just make an entry in /etc/fstab and you should be able to transfer files just like any other external drive. Take a look around CompUSA (or any computer store for that matter) and you'll see what I'm talking about.

[expert] Portable MP3 & MD players?
As I am thinking of buying one and don't want to waste my money on one that won't work in linux. Does anyone know which portable MP3 & MD players work in mandrake? There seems to be a lack of information about which ones work. As far as I can find not many r compatible. I was thinking of maybe a Sony MD player (MZN707S) or Iriver MP3 (IFP-180). As far as I can find out none of the recent models work as they need specific drivers built into the kernel for the device which are not available yet. In other words they aren't simply plug & play usb devices. Any help or suggestion will be appreciated. Mark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Problems w/ Autofs
just a wild guess from what i've seen in other postings here... it looks like you have nfs running and have a "cd" into one of those directories (/net/...), or a program running that is accessing an nfs share/directory. as long as a mounting is "active" in one of those ways, it can't be unmounted. --- Original Message --- From: Manuel Soto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Mandrake Expert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [expert] Problems w/ Autofs >I have problems with autofs after upgrading to 9.0.

[expert] layer 7 application layer filtering.
Hi guys, I am sick to death of my error_log for http being full of cmd.exe and root.exe stuff.. it makes it much harder to find useful stuff in the logs as a result..

[expert] gdm + MDK9.0 + consolehelper
Hi all, There is a problem with the gdm and consolehelper program that I have been investigated, but I cannot figure out what it's going on. The symptoms are the following. If you use gdm as your session manager, then consolehelper stops displaying the dialog about root entering root passwd. for example yo type as a normal user %shutdown The funny thing is that if you use kdm or xdm everything works properly(for example typeing shutdown prompts for a root passwd). Even starting sessions with startx make it works (I have to say that working with kde it is not a problem because it uses kdesu program). I have been looking for a solution but I don't understand the problem So the question is what have to do the gdm with the session? Probably it is a problem of the pam configuration but I cannot devise the complete scene Did anyone have this problem...?Yahoo! MessengerNueva versión: Webcam, voz, y mucho más ¡Gratis!

The problem is that there are many-many s'kiddies out there, who are constantly portscanning whole blocks of IP addresses.
