No. The last one was posted by me. It's really rudimentary, and have
gotten some nice remarks from Mr. Bandel.

 I didn't go over with a fine tooth comb, and I'm not 
 anything near a guru. Is this the same thing you posted 
 a day or sao back or are there changes to it this run around?

So far so good, but you can be using --sport too to only allow
connections from priveleged ports, and I olso played with something like
this
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --tcp-flags ACK ACK --dport 80 \
-m string --string 'cmd.exe' -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset
and add it permanent for a few days as well as for root.exe, but it
looks good so far!!!

for $5. I installed Peanut Linux through the Win98 side of my Penta boot
machine. The first time I got the dark screen of death after install
bootup. Went back and reinstalled. This time I configured the X-server
up with minimum values (250 colors). After installation the thing booted
up and I reconfigured the video card.

For aduio CDs this is definately true. It's a least a good idea to rip them 
to the hard drive first to test the read device's ability to rip audio. I've 
got a 50x CD-ROM that cannot handle ripping audio at high speed (even 8x). 
I'm not sure why, but audio formats are different enough to cause problems 
with some CD readers.

Making boot floppies

2002-01-12 Thread Ron White

Lee,
Both of these methods of making a boot disk came directly from SUse tech
support when I had the same question a while back.

You can copy the floppy as a whole with the following commands

Put the original floppy into the drive

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/floppy

Remove the original floppy from the drive
Put a new floppy into the drive

dd if=/tmp/floppy of=/dev/fd0



In addition to copying the floppy directly you can make a boot floppy by
putting a new floppy into the drive and typing lilo.  For this to work the
/etc/lilo.conf has to have a line that says:
boot=/dev/fd0.

I had a problem with mine a while back and the tech support (Suse) told me
to change the line in my /etc/lilo.conf from boot=/dev/hdb1 to the above and
it worked.

Good luck,
Ron

Comcast Cable server DHCP experience

2002-01-12 Thread Joel Hammer

This change over to dynamic IP's has been anything but easy.

It has taken me several days to get this straightened out. So, I'll pass it
along.

I was using @HOME with a static IP. I use register.com to maintain my
domain hammershome.com, which points to my static ip.  With comcast,
there are no static ip's, so, here is what happened.  First, to get the
dynamic ip from comcast, you need to include a -h parameter. I used
my old @HOME name, but I don't think it matters. Any name might do.
You can't use the -H parameter.

So:
dhcpcd -d -h somehostname eth1 
Works.

This puts your parameters into /var/run/dhcpcd-eth1.info.  It creates a
/etc/resolv.conf.dhcp which contains your new domain name and name servers.
And it saves your old /etc/resolv.conf in /etc/resolv.conf.dhcp.sv.
This is all you can count on dhcpcd doing.
It doesn't:
1. Change /etc/resolv.conf.
2. It doesn't configure your card.
3. It doesn't set up routes.
4. It doesn't change your host name.

For example, my new /etc/resolv.conf.dhcp contains the following:
#
# Generated by dhcpcd from DHCP server information.
#
domain towson01.md.pvcomcast.net
nameserver 68.34.76.5
nameserver 68.34.76.6

This might work for some, but since I run a local name server, I had to
change the domain name and add my own name server, like so:
domain hammershome.com
nameserver 192.168.0.2
nameserver 68.34.76.5
nameserver 68.34.76.6

Now, dhcpcd is supposed to keep running, keeping up a communication with the
dhcp server and maybe even configuring your route. However, comcast
gives an infinite lease (see more below) and so dhcpcd exits after getting
the lease.

So, you have to configure your card and set up your own default route
in your network startup script, like so:

. /var/run/dhcpcd-eth1.info
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 down
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 $IPADDR netmask $NETMASK broadcast $BROADCAST
/sbin/route add -net default gw $GATEWAY eth1

This all was easy. The hard part was the host name. I thought my computer
should have a host name recognized by comcast, so, running host against
my new ip number like so:

host 68.33.14.228
228.14.33.68.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer pcp364928pcs.towson01.md.pvcomcast.net

I got the huge host name starting with pcp above. Now, with @HOME, this
huge host name (static) was resolvable on the internet. (cc8846558-a
was my old @HOME name. Boy, I sure miss it.) I used it for my host
name. I assumed this new name would be resolvable, too, and changed all
occurences of cc884558-a to the new name. Bad choice.  This new name is
NOT resolvable on the internet, and many bad things happen to your email,
when your host name cannot be resolved.

So, I redid my hostname to hammershome.com, and, for now, things seem to be
working.

Now, about those infinite leases. I am not sure what that means. After I got
my first lease using my old cc846 name, I tried getting another lease with
my new pcp... name, and got a new ip number. So, I just don't know what
their servers are doing. Maybe if you always use the same host name you will
get the same lease ip. I haven't got the energy to test this right now. It
takes about 8 hours for register.com to update my ip, so I don't feel like
trying out various names and seeing what I get.

Not that you want to hear this, but I was present when a friend of mine 
switched from dialup to a cable modem.  I had the same trepidations about 
getting Linux to work with the DHCP stuff.  Of course, the installers just 
diddled with Windows and off they went.

This friend runs SuSE 7.2  and it took me all of two minutes to get the 
configuration tool (YAST2) to get the system to use a dynamic IP.  I was 
impressed.

a very detailed description of his tribulations in getting his server 
connected to Comcast.net via DHCP

Bear in mind that I do not run my own DNS server, nor do I host my own e-mail 
server (yet -- waiting for the comcast crap to work itself out). I do have a 
domain name, though.

Once I determined that my @Home IP was no longer active, I re-booted my 
freesco router, which was originally configured to connect to @Home via DHCP 
when I installed it. It connected to Comcast.net with a new IP address using 
the same account number (aka hostname) that was assigned to my cable modem 
(which happens to be different from my original account number). I logged 
into the freesco, ran ifconfig to see what the new IP address is and updated 
my DNS records at dyndns.org.
Four hours later, my hostname, www.thewunders.org (don't go there, it ain't 
much to look at ;-) ) was back up.

My recommendation? If you've got cable internet or DSL, get yourself a 
router. I'm glad, though, that Joel went through what he did. Because now I 
know what the nameservers are supposed to be in my resolv.conf file ;-) and I 
now can use Comcast's servers instead of @Home's.

CD Burn Software

2002-01-12 Thread Ken Moffat

Ii have 3 choices on my kde menu under cd burners:
cdbakeoven, gnome toaster, and xcdroast
Is there a consensus of opinion as to which is best?
The only burning I've done outside of windows is 'cdrecord'ing.

For KDE2x, I prefer KonCD, which you seem to have not listed. My guess 
regarding this list is that xcdroast will be preferred by most. 
Another good front-end for cd burning is gcombust, which you also failed to 
mention.

 Ok now have read the BedTime reader. What I get is

 1 If cdrom is not IDE-RW then hdx=ide-scsi is not needed,
 especially if you have real scsi cdroms  writers.


As long as you don't you want your cd burning software to see it, yes.

 2. if you have 3 cdrom drives you should have   sr0  sr1   sr2 
 etc for list of the drives you have.


If they are all scsi or emulated as scsi by the ide-scsi module.

 3.  If you have 3 or more drivbes  all ypou have is /sev/sr0 / sr1,
  do you need to creat a new device for the remaining cddrives.
  If so, how or what is the propper meth to perform this.


I don't follow this. AFAIK, all devices identified by the kernel and the 
ide-scsi module will have their device names created automagically.

FWIW, I believe mknod is the command you need to use to create devices. But 
I'm not convinced that's what you want to do.

Recommendation:
Remove all symlinks in /dev
Remove the kernel line hdc=ide-scsi 
Re-boot the system and look at your /dev directory. As I understand it, you 
should then have 
/dev/sr0: SCSI CD-ROM or CDRW
/dev/sr1: SCSI CDRW or CD-ROM
/dev/hdc: IDE CD-ROM

If you want the IDE CD-ROM to be seen by xcdroast, or your preferred CD 
burning software, you'll need to load the ide-scsi module during the boot 
process (refer to the Bedtime reading to find the right place according to 
your distro).
That should give you  a third device, /dev/sr2, which should be the IDE-CDROM 
as seen thru scsi-emulation.
Test the config by placing a data CD in each drive, one by one, and mounting 
it, 'mount -tiso9660 /dev/srx /mnt/whatever'
Then, create the /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdwriter, /dev/whatever symlinks you want.

HTH, 
Tim

I use 0.9.8. Current beta is 1.1, but you have to get it from CVS, IIRC. I 
believe there was once a 1.0 release, but it doesn't seem to be on the 
download page, just 1.0rc2. I'd try that if I were you. Unless you have the

Re: cdrom help

2002-01-12 Thread Ralph Sanford

Somewhat inexperienced at this SCSI setup, but looking at my system the
real SCSI CD's are sr0 and sr1.  The sr? values are assigned based on
the SCSI id number.  In fact I recently (yesterday) had a problem adding
a SCSI dvd as SCSI id 0 on a system that already had SCSI id 4 and 5
because the SCSI id 4 device had already been linked as sr0.  After the
new dvd was added as SCSI id 0 the new dvd became sr0 and the
pre-existing SCSI id 4 device become sr1.  The links did not
automatically change and the new dvd assumed the identity of the SCSI
device which was sr0.

What I am suggesting is that your SCSI cd system is as follows:
/dev/sr0 scsi id 4 42x cdrom
/dev/sr1 scsi id 5 cdwriter
/dev/scd1emulation 52x ide cdrom

This does not agree with the info that you provided, but on my system
the lower SCSI id device gets the lower sr? value.

To solve my problem the /dev/dvd and  /dev/cdrecorder were removed
(rm).  Then new links were established for /dev/sr0  -  /dev/dvd  and
/dev/sr1  -  /dev/cdrecorder.  Until these links were established on
the system fstab did not reflect the physical system.

Having only ever worked on two SCSI systems treat the above comments
with caution.

 Thus the scd0  scd1 for my scsi cdrom drives, there are no scsi hard drives

2002-01-12 Thread dep

greets, folks!

i'm engaged in a little project here, and it's moving along nicely 
except that i hope to do a thing or two that i do not know how to do.

the project is this: last september i took pictures of the wedding of 
some friends, all digital, all 1600x1200 so that they print nicely. i 
hope to put together a cd of them for them -- in fact, several, so 
they can send them to their friends. i have a nice little script that 
generates cute little thumbnails and so on, all in html, so anyone 
will be able to use the cd to view the pictures.

the problem is that most people do not have 1600x1200 monitors, so 
viewing will be a pain unless i can *also* provide, for computer 
viewing, say 640x480 images.

there are a couple hundred pictures. opening them one after another 
in the gimp and downsizing them is something that unappeals to me so 
much you cannot believe it.

additionally, i want to preserve the filenames, perhaps with an s 
prepended to each for the small images, so that people who want to 
have prints made will be able to know the proper filename.

i am hoping that there is some utility that will do this as a batch, 
and perhaps a script that will do it all on one pass. i have no idea 
where to begin to look.

suggestions?

thanks.

Well, I know if you're using html to get the images, you can size them
within the html code, so you can have three html pages, one that renders
thumbnails, one that shows them at 640x480, and one that shows them full
size.

Would that do it for you?

I would hope not.  When you do that, the whole image has to be downloaded,
and resized at the browser.  That can be impossibly slow for a large

Re: internet sharing of cable

2002-01-12 Thread Joel Hammer

Here is all I have to set up my gateway machine.
I noted you didn't mention ip_forward in your post. That might be the
problem.
Fill in your values for the $VARIABLES noted below.
As I understand it, you can ping the gateway machine from your daughter's
computer. That suggests that packets are going nicely through your gateway
machine. Maybe you are not masquerading these packets, and they are being
rejected out on the internet because they are a private ip number? Wild guess, here.
What do you see with tcpdump? Can your gateway machine ping beyond the
network gateway?

cdrom help

2002-01-12 Thread Rick Sivernell

List

   I am having continual problems with cdroms. I have the following

scsi id 4  42x scsi cdrom
scsi id 5  Yamaha 6x4x16 cdwriteronly one that seems to work all the time
scsi id 6  scsi dat 4mm tape drive  not a problem ow.

hdc is a 52x ide cdrom drivethere on bootup but do anything and it 
disappears or hangs system

I have set kernal line to hdc=ide-scsi, verify below. I get 3 icons on the
desktop and most of the time they say they are mounted, cd drive  cdwriter. I am
not getting  a stable cdrom operation all the time.

Please correct me if I am wrong, I know you guys will g with pleasure.

The system boots up and sees the true scsi as scd? and the ide as hd?.
Thus the scd0  scd1 for my scsi cdrom drives, there are no scsi hard drives 
in this system,  the ide-scsi as sr0. A mout point in /auto should be for 
/dev/cdrom - sr0 as cdrom, a second for /dev/cdwriter - /dev/scd0 as
/auto/cdwriter,  /dev/cddrive 2 - /dev/scd1 as /auto/cdrom2.

What is going wrong, or do I need to provide more info. I have read the sxs 
@linux.nf. not quite sure here.

hda is a 60g harddrive ide

[ mega mondo snip ]

OK, it looks like there is some interest (thunderous chorus in the background).  I'll 
put together a couple of posts and get back to you.

1) Things to think about if you want to put up FreeBSD
2) My experience with the product.

Maybe I'll even edit out the typos before posting grin.

Re: second dvd (cdrom) not seen as

  Assuming SuSE 7.3, the following is a GUI suggestion.  Use Yast2  -
  Hardware  -  hardware info  -  CDROM.  This shows the NAME of the

  to whatever /dev/dvd.
 
  Then in fstab you can have
  /dev/dvd   /media/dvd   iso9660 ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
 
  Using SuSE 7.3 this is what I did last night to get my dvd and
  cdrecorder straightened around.  Until the links were correct the info
  in fstab had no effect on my system.
 
  Hope this helps.
 
 Unless the kernel is recognising the dvd as a scsi device all the above will 
 not work. It is Suse and I do not have a high opinion of it either so far.
 I do not like using yast2, as I have been using the manual configuring of cd 
 devices since 96, I think and thats always been reliable. Not now with Suse 
 7.3 as does kernel recompiles so Suse spits the dummy. BTW srx is now not used
 and will disappear from /dev eventually scdx is the rcognised device. I also 
 can see that Suse has not got that far as yet either.

Using SuSE 7.3 and the stock kernel the system I described did work,
within the last day.  After adding a new scsi dvd as scsi id 0 on a
chain that already had scsi id 4 and 5 in use, it had became almost
impossible to use the cdrom, dvd, cdrw.  Fstab had been set for all the
devices but still no joy.  By issuing:

rm /dev/[each cd device]

ln -s /dev/sr[?] /dev/[each cd device]

The cdrom, dvd, cdrw now all work.  In the last day I have burned CDs,
transferred data, added SuSE packages to the computer from the SuSE CD. 
It does not matter if it was supposed to work or not, my computer now
works the way I want it to and that is what is important.

Yast2 was used to find information, not to make any modifications to the
system.  The information provided by Yast2 ensured that links were done
right the first time.  As an end user I want the system to work
regardless of whether the fix is elegant, graphical or punch cards.
