[ilugd] kdesktop problem

2004-10-19 Thread Arjun Asthana
Hi,

I am using icewm and use kdesktop for icons. My problem is that kdesktop 
doesn't run as a child of my xinitrc. That result to a situation in which i 
cannot log out. It wont log out till all things that ran through the script 
are killed. icewm-session tries to kill all the X-apps, but kdesktop wont go. 
How do I solve this out?

Thanks,
 Arjun

PS: any desktop that understands kde-style icons will help a lot.

Re: [ilugd] Network Inventory

I have tried many tools including LanDesk, Trackbird many more and

inventory. 

Any more suggestions for finding the complete hardware inventory for
Linux/Netware (networked/ standalone)  PCs ?

thanks in advance.

Re: [ilugd] Why swap partition is recommended to be only 2 * RAM..?

2004-10-19 Thread Sanjeev \Ghane\ Gupta
chakri gk wrote:
Dear Friends,
I am beginner of Linux and got a doubt.
We suggest 2 * RAM space for swap size.
Please can u elucidate:
1. why only 2* RAM space for swap space.
The multiplier 2 is a recommendation, as a maximum value.  Look at it the 
other way: if you are using less phsical ram than half your swap, that means 
you are likely to be trying to get away with too cheap a solution.

Estimate total memory requirements (= virtual memory).  Example 1GB
This should be apportioned between actual memory, and make-believe 
memory.  The thumb rule above says that at least 1/3GB should be physical. 
If you have less, than you are likely to see performance issues.  So put in 
384MB RAM, and 750MB swap.  You can put in 512MB RAM, and 512 swap, which is 
better, of course, but at least 384MB RAM would be good.

The figure 2 is a maximum recommended, not a law.
2. what happens if we assign more?
Linux may use it, if it requires.  No downside.
Please note, that this is generalisation, you may want to use all RAM, no 
swap, or very little RAM, and lots of swap; it is a trade-off.

Personally, since my boss can afford it, I use as much RAM as I estimate my 
max virtual memory requirements are, and provide 512MB swap to cover 
mistakes I made in estimation.

what you work on computers, to learn from practice :)

An interesting thread had occurred on th Linux kernel mailing list 
(LKML)  Is Swap Necessary? . You can read the summary at 
http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3202

There is no subjective answer (that I could find in the whole to and fro 
mails), the answer seems to be to experiment and find out on your own.

Another thread that you would find interesting is the Tuning 
Swappiness thread. http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3000 . You can  tune 
the swappiness through the proc interface for anyone needing to adapt 
kernel behavior to their own requirements. To tune, simply echo a value 
from 0 to 100 onto /proc/sys/vm/swappiness. I think this is available in 
2.6 kernels only (are there any patches for 2.4 ? my small search on 
google did not turn up anything of interest)

Always report the full text of your error messages. Usually the samba 
error logs are placed in the directory /var/log/samba . The error 
messages have time stamp placed before them, and that can help in 
spotting the error.   a 'tail /var/log/samba/LOG_FILE' can help too.

I am a bignner in linux.
have a look at http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/toc.html .. 
an excellent resource , but a bit outdated. I think it works for samba

[ilugd] serious bug present in current FC2 kernel

2004-10-19 Thread Sandip Bhattacharya
I got a  weird locking up of the machine with the HDD light lit on 
continuously, while writing an audio cd. After a few frustating moments 
where I tried to go to console mode/kill X/etc., which didnt work BTW, I 
had to shrug and press the reset button.

I looked at the logs, and it gave me uncomprehensible messages like:

ct 20 01:43:00 pluto kernel: oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x1d2
Oct 20 01:43:24 pluto kernel: DMA per-cpu:
Oct 20 01:43:56 pluto kernel: cpu 0 hot: low 2, high 6, batch 1
Oct 20 01:44:27 pluto kernel: cpu 0 cold: low 0, high 2, batch 1
Oct 20 01:44:34 pluto kernel: Normal per-cpu:
Oct 20 01:44:36 pluto kernel: cpu 0 hot: low 32, high 96, batch 16
Oct 20 01:44:36 pluto kernel: cpu 0 cold: low 0, high 32, batch 16
Oct 20 01:44:36 pluto kernel: HighMem per-cpu: empty

Googled for oom-killer, and found out that it is a new fangled addition to 
kernel 2.6 called Out Of Memory killer[1]. When the computer for some 
reason runs out of RAM *and* swap, it tries to kill the largest resource 
hog. Apparently, this oom-killer sometimes runs amok killing everything in 
sight.

Andrew Morton on the lkml list said[2] that it was an untraceable problem 
occuring when you burn audio CDs.

Debian seems to have released[3] a version of the kernel which fixes the 
problem.

The problem still exists in current FC2 kernel(2.6.8-1.521). It has been 
reported[4] but no fix yet.

From all the other links, it appears that the problem is not limited to 
audio CD writing.

[ilugd] Email greylisting stats

2004-10-19 Thread Sandip Bhattacharya
Are any of the folks here using greylisting 
(http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/) in their mail servers? I have 
been using a python implementation on our server called greylistd for the 
past one month, and have some really interesting stats.

Of 10801 items that were initially greylisted:
 -  1042 (  9.6%) became whitelisted
 -  9759 ( 90.4%) expired from the greylist
Are others getting similar stats too? The above data means that for the 
1 unique sets of (envelope sender address + envelope recipient address, 
+ sender IP address) which have hit these domains, only 10% were legit 
emails or sent from properly implemented MTAs. The rest 90% were denied by 
greylisting!! Another weapon in the war against spam!

In  my views , many swap partitions on diffrent harddisks(if your
machine has more than one harddisk) can increase the performance of your
machine,
But what would be better option , single large swap partition  or many
small swap partitions (approx. 256 MB) in a hardisk ?
correct me if i am wrong.
