RedHat 7.1 and dhcpd
I have lost the original post, but someone asked how to install dhcpd on a Red Hat 7.1 deluxe work station. I don't use my RH box for this so consider this post a pure public service. I couldn't find the rpm on my cd either, so I downloaded it from the Red Hat web site, which was quite easy, and didn't require any login. They just GIVE this stuff away! (http://www.redhat.com/swr/i386/dhcp-2.0-12.i386_dl.html) When I ran rpm -i,the post install scripts wouldn't run. Maybe because there was no /etc/dhcpd.conf file yet. I made the .conf file, and dhcpd wouldn't run because there was no lease file. I made that by hand (touch) and then all seemed to work with just running dhcpd. I haven't tried to start it with the startup script. Joel ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: [OT] testing 1 please ignore
There is a bar in Kowloon where a bunch of late sleepers, would walk in, have a drink, and exchange news about customers. The other night I went in there and ordered a drink. As I sat there sipping my wine, a young lady sat down next to me. She turned to me and asked, "Are you Mr. PC?" Recognizing that this is the nickname my customers used to call me many years ago, and her face was familiar, so I guessed that she was one of my ex-customers. I replied, "Well, I've spent my whole career life in the computer world, building PC, designing PC systems, testingup newPCs, and repairing pcs; so I guess I am." After a couple more drinks, she said, "I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women; when I shower, watch TV, etc., everything seems to make me think of women." A little while later, another guy sat down next to me and asked , "Are you really Mr. PC?" I said, "I always thought I was, but I just found out that I'm Mr. Lesbian."

Re: The 'mv' command

I've always been under the impression that it simply renames the file/directory, but I get the feeling there's more to it than that. My recent experience with compiling the KDE2.2 SRPMs has led me to think that. When I tried to compile the KDE2.2 source under eW3.1, I first mv'd the /opt/kde2 directory to /opt/kde22, thinking this got the existing KDE stuff out of the way for the new install. But I couldn't get kdelibs to compile. I then decided to just try instaling kde2 from the RPMs instead of the SRPMs and that seemed to work (well, I DID --force --nodeps everything). I then had the problem of starting KDE, which apparently was the result of the inability to load a shared library. I then punted. I rm -r'd the /opt/kde2 directory and mv'd /opt/kde22 back to /opt/kde2. Next I cp -R'd /opt/kde2 to /opt/kde22 for a backup. After that, I decided to re-try the SRPMs, and everything compiled fine (except for kdegraphics, which required a little cheating). The only difference bewteen my two methods, was the use of 'cp -R' to make a backup of /opt/kde2 rather than 'mv'. Hence my question, what does the command 'mv' actually do? mv just does a rename (as long as the source target are on the same partition/drive, but that's another story). I think your problem arose because the kde2.2 compile needed something from the original kde2 tree, which of course you had effectively removed by doing a mv. I can't say for sure as you didn't say what the compile error actually was. HTH Pam to add to what Pam has said, if you need to use the old kde2.2 as kde2 then symlink it as ln -s kde2.2 kde2 cheers, good explaination Pam -- Rick Sivernell Dallas, Texas 75287 972 306-2296 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Caldera Open Linux eWorkStation 3.1 Registered Linux User .~. / v \ /( _ )\ ^ ^ In Linux we trust! ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Fwd: Possible RC2 release before 3.0
-- Forwarded Message -- Subject: Possible RC2 release before 3.0 Date: Sun, 2 Sep 2001 22:03:53 -0400 From: Gerard Beekmans [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LFS Discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi guys, Ok, here's the deal. There have been quite a few (about 16, perhaps 2 or 3 less) items added to the Bugzilla system for later fixing. Some of these are some good command installation improvements, like the better procinfo, mv of mklost+found (i think we're pretty much agreeing that's it not an essential program, i'm just waiting for the reports how e2fsck and mke2fs behave when they can't run it, and when the directory lost+found itself isn't there). there's also the net-tools installation change (run make update instead of make install, and run the config part like a make dep - accept all defaults). seperating applying the patches in chapter 5 from main commands (they are optional, just like that tar patch, only necessary in some select cases). and a few more minor issues that involve command changes (rather than simple text updates, explanation updates, etc). I said RC1 won't have command updates unless absolutely necesarry. I didn't expect all these little things to be found. None of which are even remotely critical, just to make things prettier, more consistent and to give the user a bit more freedom in the way things are installed. I would like to take some of the raised issues (the ones mentioned in this email and perhaps a few others in bugzilla) and process them in the book. This means there will have to be an RC2 release to test all those newly changed commands properly and thoroughly. This way LFS-3.0 will be cleaner, nicer, cooler, more flexible, understandable and all those great terms we can think of. The downside is, this will delay LFS-3.0 by another two weeks or so, possibly 3 weeks. And that for issues that aren't critical. I'd like to know how you guys feel about this. -- Gerard Beekmans www.linuxfromscratch.org -*- If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem -*- -- Unsubscribe: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put unsubscribe in the subject header of the message --- -- Douglas J.

It is non-configurable; it's either on or off. A look at /var/log/boot.msg yielded the following line: Starting personal-firewall (initial) [active]done However, the word active is grayed or dimmed.
