[PLUG] Pine
How do I disable pine's attempts to access TCP port 514 which according to /etc/services is the shell service? It doesn't need to access port 514 for imap access but it still tries. shell 514/tcpcmd #like exec, but automatic syslog 514/udp Jan 24 21:36:32 barn kernel: OUTPUT_t:IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=192.168.4.34 DST=192.168.4.1 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=55015 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=1020 DPT=514 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Every time I try to run pine I get the above message in my logs that an attempt has been made to access the shell service remotely on tcp port 514. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Assuming you are not going to do anything with the MS drive anyway ... the MB has primary and secondary IDE connectors, and each will handle a master and a slave (2) drives - that makes 4 (not counting floppy because that is a different connector) do you have space on that arrangement for another IDE drive? ... if so ... add the drive there and you're in. ... if no ... add an extra IDE connector or two (via a pci card) add the drive there and you're in. ... in either case, your mess factor is reduced and you can still boot MS - or is that something you wanted to ditch anyway? If so ... add the new drive as in one of the above format the MS drive to give yourself even more extra Linux space Hope that helps Regards Fred James ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
Re: [PLUG] Can't see second hard drive for Linux Mint install
I hope to try again tomorrow or Tuesday. I may also bring one of my desktops over to their house and plug the new hdd into my desktop and see of Mint will see it there. If it does, then I know that it's a hardware/bios problem on their computer.

I have a GigE NIC on my T60 and was curious what ethtool would report when I connected it up to to a Linksys WRT56G router. Ethtool did report "link partner" info, which was interesting because my NIC was advertising auto-neg but the Linksys is not. ~# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised link modes: Not reported Link partner advertised pause frame use: No Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: No Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: off Supports Wake-on: pumbag Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x0001 (1) Link detected: yes ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

I doubt it's a bad drive but you might turn up something interesting if Mint decides to recognize it as the first drive and/or not see the 250GB drive as the second. If it doesn't recognize it then at least the miscommunication between the BIOS and Mint is consistent.

[PLUG] Need Help Editing Grub
I have two ide drives in one machine - drive 1 is a Windows drive and drive 2 is a Linux drive. Using grub, I can boot into either windows or debian. I want to remove the windows drive and replace it with a larger, blank drive for backup storage. I have a feeling if I just remove the first drive and put the new one there, the machine will not boot, since the MBR is probably on the first drive (it came with the machine, and I just added the second drive for Linux). My questions: 1. How do I change grub on the Linux drive (hdb) to say "the windows drive is dead, boot here instead, long live linux"? 2. Do I move the second drive to the first ide port, or leave it as the second ide drive and put the new drive in the fist ide port? Thanks!
