[SLUG] disk partitioning
Hi, I have a Disk partioned rather poorly. I have more free space on the drive and have used cfdisk to partion this. How do I now mount this so that I can make use of this space? The disk basically only has / mounted (plus a swap and boot partion of course). (not done by me) I would ideally like to partition it up to be the usual like /home /usr /var /usr/local etc. Can this be done now or do I need to backup and then rebuild and restore data into the new partitions? any pointers, help would be appreciated. regards PS: For all the bagging etc etc on this list I find the responses quick and very helpful.

Re: [SLUG] disk partitioning
you should be able to mount it somewhere temporarily, move everything accross from say /usr then remount it as /usr you might want to do it in single user mode or from a bootdisk so nothing tries to access /usr while it is on the move another way is to mount it somewhere and make links for /usr /home etc that point to your new partition On Mon, Oct 16, 2000 at 09:12:57AM +1000, Alister Waller wrote: Hi, I have a Disk partioned rather poorly.

Just use mount /dev/{partition name} /mount/point
Then copy all of the files over from the old directories to the new
ones. I can't remember how to do a tar pipe somebody will probably mention
it in one of the replies, but lacking that.
Just tar up /usr/local for example (tar czvf usr_local.tgz * when
you are in /usr/local ) then delete everything under /usr/local/ and mount
the new disk there. Then untar.
Edit /etc/fstab to reflect the new mounting arangement. Just copy whats
already there for other harddisks.
That should do it.
Althought see what others say, this might be th ehard way to do it.

[SLUG] Modem recommendation.
I need another (3rd) modem. A few people here are using the US Robotics Courier V Everything as they are so rock solid. I was going to get another one until I rang their tech support to ask a question. Seems that unless your modem is less than 3 months old you have to pay $25 to speak to a technician, if there is a fault with your modem they will refund it. Now I have had great support in the past. My power pack died and they sent me a new one for free, but this new policy just irks me. Anyone recommend another modem what works well with mgetty (ob linux)? I really want it to support a last call info dump ATI7 like the vEverthing does. Something with good tech support. Or should I just stick with the VEverything. Am I being weird being anoyed by such a support policy? They must get a lot of nutters with winmodems asking why they can't get 56k all the time. Um ... ponder ...

[SLUG] IP Chains config
Hi again, I will get the hang of this one day. It looks to me as if the way REDHAT handles IP chains changed from 6.1 to 6.2. I am stuck and in a bit of a hurry so perhaps you guys could help me out. NOTE: this is very basic and very open but I am just experimenting with this right now. According to the REDHat Linux Bible (6.1) it says to add the following to /etc/rc.d/init.d/network (page 555) after case "$1" in start) ipv4_forward_set ipchains -P forward DENY ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.26.0/24 -j MASQ In redhat 6.2 ipv4_forward_set is not in the network file and does not show up on my system using find. I did some looking around and found in /etc/rc.d/init.d an ipchains file. I guessed that this would be run at startup, but I don't know linux well enough to know this for sure. I added a file called /etc/sysconfig/ipchains and added in the two ipchains lines from aboveminus the ipchains bit of course. if I now run /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains start it reads my /etc/sysconfig/ipchains file and does not give any errors so I guess this part is OK. OKif I cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward i get a 0, not the 1 that I need. hmmm...now how do I start ipchains or ipforwarding now at boot time? i looked on REDHAT for some help but the ipchains help file there was written by someone using DEBIAN and they did not go into too much detail about where things should go.

In your /etc/dosemu.conf, there'll be a line like $_hdimage = "bootimage" telling DOSemu where to find it's drive images. I recommend you keep booting from this image, and just add the location of your game. If it's sitting in your windows partition mounted on /mnt/win, then it would look like $hdimage = "bootimage /mnt/win" and the win partition would be available as the D: drive in DOSemu. IIRC, you can also use things like $HOME there. A better solution would be to read through the DOSemu docs, and create a new boot directory, and you can put anything you like there.

you have to tell dosemu what drives/directories to map to dos
drives. and you'll need to add your user to the list of "privileged
users" if you want to use sound/graphics on console/things that need
root. iirc, the newer versions (ie: less than 3 years old ;) have a
nice tk program to configure it all in.
i've played master of magic, tombraider, syndicate, dungeon keeper,
xcom (1..3) at length under dosemu. all work quite well, tho turning
the sound blaster emulation on makes it a little unstable, so i
usually play without sound (just mp3's in the background ;)

In /etc/rc.d/rc3.d, you'll see several files starting with `S' and several starting with `K'. Those starting with `S' are started on entry to run level 3; those with `K' are killed. These files are merely symbolic links to the scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d. Run level 3 is one of the two most likely run levels your system enters on boot. The other is 5 (xdm). Have a look for a line like this in /etc/inittab: id:3:initdefault: ^ This is the default run level. To change what's started or stopped in any particular run level, see `man chkconfig'. You could just change the links yourself, but the order is important so if you're not sure what you're doing, just use chkconfig. I added a file called /etc/sysconfig/ipchains and added in the two ipchains lines from aboveminus the ipchains bit of course. This file should contain the output of ipchains-save, which is merely a listing of the ipchains rules minus the command name, in other words, exactly what you've done. if I now run /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains start it reads my /etc/sysconfig/ipchains file and does not give any errors so I guess this part is OK.

[SLUG] POP3 authentication on sendmail
Hello Our company is now of the ORB/RBL list and would like to stay there. One requirment we do have is to use our mail server while OS using ISP assigned IP addresses. I have heard about doing pop3 authentication on sending mail!! I have found http://spam.abuse.net/tools/smPbS.html which has a solution. Is this the best bethod? Are there any other suggestions or experiences? regards Grant Street Four J's Asia Pacific http://www.4js.com.au Ph: +61 2 8912 4170 Fax: +61 2 8912 4179 Disclaimer: http://www.4js.com.au/Std/eDisclaim.html -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
