[SLUG] quotas, Redhat 7.1
Is it my imagination, or is the latest quota package update for Red Hat 7.1 totally broken? Half the commands won't use the version two quota files... So when I run quotaon, it complains quotaon: using /home/quota.user on /dev/sdb3: No such file or directory and it doesn't try to use /home/aquota.user -- nor can I find any way of making it. Ditto for warnquota. I can get repquota and quotacheck to work by specifying -F vfsv0 (though the man pages suggest they should detect the presence of aquota.user files and pick a format appropriately) Danny. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Stability of 2.4.x kernels
Hi I want to just share a few incidents which involve the 2.4 kernel and comparasions to 2.2.x Firstly I recently upgraded my machine and it was either go to 2.4 or use 2.2 with ide patches so I took the 2.4 plunge. Secondly my firewall setup is much simplier thanks to netfilter :-) also DNAT is very useful and beats that port forwarding hacks of 2.2! Basically You can get realplayer to work without helpers from a internal machine. Anyway I have these modules loaded into the kernel * nvidia drivers * win4lin stuff (only the last 3 days or so because there is now 2.4.9 support) * driver for a skymedia 200dtp card (sat dvb data) The rest is compiled in and not binary only stuff. anyway the problem tonight was that realplayer couldn't be killed off. I suspect that the sound driver locked and wouldn't release realplayer and thus any tools to kill realplayer wouldn't work at all. in fact cat /proc/pid of realplayer which was guessed/cmdline would lock. so I had numerous top's ps's etc... all locked and blocked. Only resolution was to reboot and still the root filesystem had to be fscked. My 2nd and it's happened quite a few times is that the user schedulder dies and the only resolution is just to cold reboot. THe funny thing is that it still works as a router :-) But that's all in the kernel schedulder. My experience with 2.2 was that it's far more stable. But I don't think I will go back.

[SLUG] ipchains logging to console
ipchains on my gateway has suddenly taken to logging to the console. The syslog.conf file has the standard settings, but these are also mirrored to log to another machine as well. The standard logging is happening, as is the logging to the other machine, but additionally there is this logging to console. According to syslog.conf the only logging to console should be *.emerg messages. Has anyone any suggestions as to why, or how I can find out what is causing ipchains to do this? Howard.

[SLUG] to C/H/S, or not to C/H/S?
Situation Perform a customised server installation of RH7.1 with RAID 1 Mission Create a multi-partition RAID 1 set on two identical IDE drives, /dev/hda /dev/hdc (Seagate ST320410A). Execution Perform a graphical RH7.1 install, but when it gets to the bit about creating partitions, select the expert mode which calls fdisk in the GUI. At this point I selected hda and set up the partitions I wanted, noting that the C/H/S was 2434/63/255 giving blocks of 16065*512 bytes. I then selected hdc but noticed that the C/H/S was different, being ?/63/16 (I think the ? was about 38792, but it is not important) giving blocks of 1008*512 bytes. I selected expert mode and altered the C/H/S to match the values of hda, and then created the partitions. All went OK after that. Questions 1. Is this a problem with fdisk, or is it a problem with the drives? 2. Would I have been better off to set hda to the finer granularity of hdc, or was I correct in using the coarser granularity that I did, or does it matter? 3. WTFG? Howard.

[SLUG] bootdisk problem Lilo,dd and permission denied
G'day all, I have done some searching and despite references to this problem I have not found a solution to this yet. I have a bootdisk system that mounts root via nfs but I just went to make a new bootdisk and change some options on it for testing and I found the following error. dd if=/root/nfs-p3bdisk.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k lilo -C bdlilo.con -r /mn/floppy Fatal:/dev/fd0 Permission Denied Now I know this works on the (old) systems ie RH6.2 with 2.2 kernels and on Debian stable with 2.4 kernels. However, I am trying to run this on the RH7.1 machines and I get the above error. The file permissions etc are correct and I cannot see any reason for this not to work. Has anyone got any ideas about how to fix this? TIA ---Gareth Walters -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] making SSH port forwarding externally available
Hello Sluggers: To workaround a local network misconfiguration, I am port forwarding a local port to a remote machine using ssh. This works for my local loopback address: 'localhost', but I would like to make the tunnel accessible to another person at work. (he doesn't use Linux but need to access the same remote port) i.e.: If I do a ssh -f -N -L 1234:remote:1234 remote , then telnet localhost 2323 establishes a connection to 'remote' via the ssh tunnel, but telnet my_machine_IP 2323 doesn't. How would I go about making the ssh tunnel externally available? Can iptables be set to forward TCP packets to the local loopback address?

It is fixable. johnf@odie:~$ cat /proc/ide/hdc/geometry physical 16383/16/63 logical 2495/255/63 then you reboot and at the liloprompt you do linux hdc=16383,16,63 that mean in this boot linux will force the geometry into lba mode.
