It's really not adequate to just state somethinglike this, you really need
to explain why.  I'm aware of the differences between su and su - but do not
consider it important in this context.  In general, I use sudo, myself.

Also, pgAccess probably wants to make a tcp connection to postgres.  By
default postgres does not run this way.  You can change this by setting

tcpip_socket = true

in /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf

Because you can set it up password-less, and you automatically have
x11-forwarding enabled ($DISPLAY environment, MIT cookie etc).

There's also scp and sftp (and rsync which can also work with ssh),
but now I'm talking about non-local uses :)

_VERY_ convenient.  The only thing I need to remember to do is to do
"eval $(ssh-agent)" before I do a startx and everything from there
is magically secure and password-less.  (I only use su rarely for
quick hacks).

Hmm... it worked just fine for me.  (Although I did check grub.conf
before I rebooted, but it was fine anyway).

I did have to recompile some add-on drivers that I'm using... cdfs,
the nvidia driver, the alsa sound drivers, and some drivers for a
saa7134 (flyview) tv capture card.  So far it is all working very
nicely.

Tried that...no luck.  Others have suggested that there is no password, as well.  but 
the terminal asks forone and if I simply press enter without giving one, I get

That's what "front end" means, it's a program that connects to a database 
server "engine". MS Access is a front end to a database engine called "Jet".

> It'snot a server, it's a desktop workstation.

A "server" is in this context a program that runs in background to provide 
functions for other programs. Your desktop Linux workstation runs a number of 
servers (e.g. X server), just add the database server program.

I found the docs from https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/  very

"rpm -e" takes the package name (mplayer) as its parameter, not the file name. 
Try "rpm -e mplayer".

I've got a "Lexar" USB CF reader from Radio Shack.  Cost me about 
$40 CAD IIRC.  I was told by various people that pretty much all 
CF readers work the same and should "just work(TM)".  To be 
nasty, and test this theory out, I plugged the CF reader in for 
the first time into the back of my keyboard which has 2 USB 
ports, the other end connected to an Itanium 2 workstation 
running developmental ia64 code.  To my amazement, the driver was 
autoloaded, and I merely had to mount the device and copy files 
from it.  My ia64 litmus test worked quite well.  ;o)

I've tested it on RHL 7.1/7.3/8.0 x86 based systems also with no
problems, and no special configuration other than editing 
/etc/fstab.

I created a dir /film, then added an entry to fstab to mount the 
device there.  I'd test it on Alpha also, but USB isn't 
functional on my Alpha boxes.  ;o)

Hope this helps.

This is a guess, since I don't use Mozilla for mail but:

~/.mozilla/Default User/g37e59u6.slt/Mail/172.20.6.193/*
  [1] [2]   [3]   [4]

[1] Is the profile you use for mozilla, or "Default User" would be the
default.
[2] From my experience with Mozilla this seems to be random.
[3] This is the pop server name
[4] Files named: Drafts  Inbox  Sent  Templates  Trash, which I'm
guessing are the folders themselves.


You should find a similair structure on Windows, (%USERPROFILE% on
98/95/ME would be c:\windows)

%USERPROFILE\Application Data\Mozilla\profiles\... and then this
should start to tie in with the same folder structure as above.

You should be able to create a new account on Mozilla (Linux) and then
copy the relevant files Although it might not work!

[allena28@zero allena28]$ su postgres
Password:
su: incorrect password
^ implies you are trying "su postgres" as a regular user rather
than as root.

[root@zero allena28]# su postgres
bash-2.05b$


When you are the "root" user, it does not matter what the password is
however if you change the postgres password.

[root@zero allena28]# more /etc/shadow | grep postgres

[root@zero allena28]# passwd postgres

then you should be able to login with (normal practice is for root to su
to a different user), but if you can't get that to work - this might be
easier.

The ATI Radeon 7500 is currently the best open source supported 
(and thus supported by Red Hat) video card available.  Only 
official "Built by ATI" cards are supported, whereas the "Powered 
by ATI" ones may or may not work.  (All X developers tend to have 
official ATI hardware, and very few if any have the "powered by" 
boards, nor the tech specs available, so if there are problems 
with the "powered-by" boards, they may not get fixed right away 
until a given developer has access to the specific problem board, 
and its specs)

Before considering any hardware purchase, you might want to do a 
bugzilla query against XFree86 for each manufacturer's name, and 
also query specific video card models too.  That will give you an 
idea of what - if any bugs/problems people have encountered, and 
under any particular motherboard/hardware mix.

Hope this helps.

Yes, this is a Rendition Verite 2x00 based card.  The "rendition" 
driver would be the native driver for it, and the XFree86 status 
page does claim to support this card.  I've never actually 
encountered anyone using rendition hardware though or reporting 
bugs against it.  That could mean that it is bug free(tm) , 
or it could mean that there are very few cards in circulation out 
there, or even possibly that it is so broken that everyone 
ditched their cards and replaced them with shiny new ones.  ;o)

Anyhow, give the rendition driver a shot, and if it doesn't work, 
post your results here and we'll try to troubleshoot.

Hope this helps,
TTYL

Re: RHCE Books

2002-11-18 Thread Brian K. Jones
I'd stay away from the Global Knowledge RHCE guide.  The latest edition
has so many errors in it it's almost unusable as a test preparation
method.  It's not a completely useless book, though, some of the
explanations in it are better than the Redhat docs.

Also, don't believe the crap about the CD-ROM tests being accessible
under linux.  This is a complete crock of crap.  The only thing you can
do is see the questions.  The whole testing environment is only
available under Windoze.

I can go anywhere with the same command, and - count them - "root" is
only four letters, and two of them are real close together.

I should also mention it goes through proper login processing, and I
value that.

Mostly, no password prompts. I can use the same command for local and
remote computers. It really is very convenient. However, X forwarding
isn't so useful over the internet for general use. It's exceedingly
slow.

True, I don't use the root command to connect from home to the office
(though I could). For that I have the "off" command.

Utility to satisfy rpm dependencies ?

2002-11-18 Thread lorenzo . zampese
Does exist any utility to search which rpms are necessary to satisfy a rpm
dependencies ?

I need it because I would to install the GNOME desktop manger on my linux
box, but
I think it requires a long list of rpms and I haven't any idea of which
ones are necessary
and in which order I should install them !!! :(

Note: I have got only windowmaker as windows manager on my RH 8.0 (i386)

Thank you :)

I need to buy a new Video Card, my ideal card would be well supported on

An ATI Radeon 7500 is a good card that meets your criteria.  It has 
hardware acceleration under xfree86, is supported by RHL right out of 
the box, and doesn't require vendor provided drivers to get good 3D 
performance (even though you only want 2D).

I'm running a 7500 on an Epox 8KTA3 Athlon motherboard at 4X AGP and 
it's stable as can be.  I had far more crashes with my Nvidia GeForce 2

Demand-dial Router?

I am trying to turn a Red Hat Linux 8.0 box into a demand-dial router
(+NAT).  I have run into several holes in my knowledge:

How do I make 'ppp1' the default route before it's even up, and/or how
do I make it demand-dial?
How do I insure that 
 - the nat module is inserted
 - the 'MASQUERADE' rule is inserted
 - and forwarding is turned on
at boot time without intervention?

Does anyone have experience with the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 in
laptops?  I am looking at new laptops and I'd like to know if anyone has
had good performance from the mobile version.  I am guessing that it
uses the same drvier (radeon) as the desktop version.

Probably different versions of pam...  Seems like you have a working
version of pam_xauth.so, and Russ does not.

A number of people are fond of using the SSH trick to get root shells on
their box, and generally it works.  It's got its advantages, but its
disadvantages, too.  For instance, if I 'su -' to root and run an X app,
(which I rarely need to, with Red Hat's consolehelper setup) the X
traffic does not have to be encrypted and decrypted on the same
processor, and travels over only a UNIX socket rather than a TCP socket
*and* a UNIX socket.  There's considerably less processing involved...

Please help. I had a bunch of php scripts that was developed on my

and e-mail server.

Today I downloaded a bunch of the scripts and started working on them on

Apache is running and with php and MySQL is working. Just some stuff

It sounds like your default X Windows permissions are fairly wide open. 
Try "xhost" to see the basic settings there.  

After that, you have to look for new features allowing this. There 
*could* also be a new feature in the Xwindows startup sequence to update 
~root/.Xauth to include strings that would allow it to connect to the 
latest person to login to the console... (speculation, I'm not at my

I played with the pam file for su (/etc/pam.d/su). I commented out the
line

sessionoptional /lib/security/pam_xauth.so

and X display for su to regular users is disabled, but it still works
for su to root. Anybody get the same results and know why root is still

How to customize RedHat 8 Menus

2002-11-18 Thread François Bochatay
Hi,

I'm very surprised, I found no way of customizing, nor even editing my 
RedHat 8 menu ! Even if I go root, there seems to have no way of moving 
an item from extra/internet to internet for example, or changing the 
internet/email link !

It's very nice for beginners, but what about others who got their 
favorite applications, and can't acces them simply from the menu ?

I would be very happy to know how I can change that !

Thanks in advance,

François

I can reproduce that only when I add the point at the end of the
link.

Use this one instead:

  http://www.bluethingy.com/linux/rh8menu.html

THIS works! ... I didn't notice the period at the end of the link,
which only worked if I copied the URL and chose "Open Web Location"
in Mozilla. I guess it's that period that confuses Mozilla.

Thanks!

Re: D-Link DI-713P Printserver

2002-11-18 Thread Charles Johnson
This may not be of much help to you, but I use the D-LinkAir  DP-313, and connect to 
it via a wireless
PCI card in my RH8.0 box. For this I decided to give the GUI a try, using it to set up 
the printer. 
I browsed to the DP-313 and "discovered" that the ports were named (of all things) 
lpt1, lpt2, and lpt3. 
With that information and the IP address of the device I was printing to a HP-LaserJet 
5 in a couple of minutes.

I've been using a DI-713p wireless gateway that has a built in print

This allows me to connect my printer to this device, and machines

anything for Linux.

Has anyone figured out how to do this with this hardware under Linux (RH

Re: PHP not behaving as expected

2002-11-18 Thread Michael Knepher
I'm no php expert (yet ;o)), but I think this may have to do with
"register_globals" being off by default. IIRC, there's something in the
Release Notes about this (along with info about short tags being off).
Either change the setting in php.ini or change your scripts to use
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], etc. You can also check the list archives for more
info.

If you 'su' and not 'su -', then your environment is preserved, and the
X cookie doesn't need to be forwarded by pam_xauth.  At least, not to
root.  Everyone you 'su' to will have the appropriate XAUTHORITY
environment variable set, but only root can read the file it points to.

So, yes... what you're seeing is normal behavior.

FWIW, This one and 2 others from Red Hat Press (I think) were available 
in my local Barnes & Noble. Just in case someone wants to play touchey 
feeley before buying. The good news is that they were based on 8.0 not
one of the previous versions.

More than likely this is due to the fact that RedHat have changed the
default value of short_open_tag to Off in your /etc/php.ini file.
This stops you from doing things like .
You need to change the setting in php.ini to short_open_tag = On

Also if your scripts are pre 4.2.0 you may have a problem with 
register globals, it is now Off by default. Added to that,
variables such as $PHP_SELF are now $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

What about the ATI Radeon 8500? I just saw one with my local dealer,

Nvidia drivers and the new kernel.

2002-11-18 Thread Raul Acevedo
The NVidia drivers are only for a particular kernel.  Every time you
upgrade the kernel, you have to either download NVidia drivers for that
kernel or recompile the source RPM with the new kernel.

Re: Nvidia drivers and the new kernel.

2002-11-18 Thread Neal D. Becker
I'd like to add that this is really annoying.  It would be more
convenient if I could specify the kernel to compile against.  The way
it is, you have to reboot first and make sure NOT to run X, or you're
in trouble.  Then you can rebuild/install and start X.

Using the srpm package, there is no provision to specify a specific
kernel version to compile against.

Yes, but only the NVIDIA_kernel driver, the NVIDIA_GLX files will work
fine.  I think the only reason you have recompile the kernel module
driver is because Red Hat kernels use module version checking
(CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y), otherwise, you would not have to recompile
anything.

Playlists stops. More sound issues

2002-11-18 Thread Hades

   Sorry if asked before, but had a problem with my list archives... I 
am quite a newbie too, so I'll try to get into the details I know of:

   The problem is that my sound apps (any sound app) will sudenlly stop 
playng in between musics at an aparent random frequency. The thing is 
playng and then sudenly when switching files in the playlist (on xmms) 
it hangs with a message asking to check the configuration. During 
startup, I also have to wait about 1 minute before tryng to use sound, 
or thw app will acuse problems with /dev/dsp (not being there)... so 
much for leting it warm up :)
   Does anyone have the same problem?

   Possible cause: with soundcard detection on System Settings menu, it 
says I have a

   Vendor: ESS technology
   Model: ES1998 Allegro-1
   Module: maestro3

   Problem is that my actual soundcard is a Diamond S100. I dont know 
where to change it or check for the driver.
   The machine is a custom Athlon 1ghz and a Soyo SY-K7VTA-B motherboard.
   I know its not crucial, but everything was ok on 7.3 and its really 
annoyng to be blasting a Nightwish album at full volume while I'm in the 
shower and sudenlly stay without my beloved music :)
  
   Thanks in advance

The Radeon 8500 for the PC is one of the very few cards that ATI has
written Linux drivers for.  You can download them at the ATI web site. 
I haven't heard if they work well or not.

If you select ATI Radeon 8500 in the Red Hat display settings applet,
you get the same driver as the 7500 (radeon).  Again, I don't know
anyone who has one of these so I can't comment on how well it works.

Keith

I had tryed that before but thinking i missed something i tryed again.  Her 
was the out put of the rebuild... the kernel is already installed or 
something like that.  Same for the GLX driver.  I can see nothing wrong

The final word on evolution 1.2 rpm for 8.0

2002-11-18 Thread John BouAntoun
Okay guys, 

I'm going to try and summarise all the thousands of messages about upgrading to 
evolution 1.2 that I have sen here over the last week or so.

First off, people seem to think that getting the Ximian rpms for evo 1.2 is too 
tricky because you need to have red carpet and other (apprent) Ximian cruft. So for 
those who want a pure red hat solution read on.

You need to ensure 2 things before you start:

1) You need to download all the rpms from this site

http://people.redhat.com/katzj/evolution/RPMS/
   
   into one folder. Make sure all the rpms go into the same folder, and make sure 
there 
   are no other rpms in that folder before hand (you'll see why later)

2) You need to have the GNOME development package installed to be able to upgrade 
   from the standard (redhat 8.0) evolution version to the new one. Note that you don't
   actually need the GNOME development package to run the evolution version that comes 
   with the redhat 8.0 cds, but for some reason, to upgrade you need to have several 
   *devel rpms installed. Rather than try and figure out the dependencies I simply 
   installed the default rpms with the GNOME development package using the GUI redhat 
   package manager (Start Menu -> System -> Packages).

Once you have both points above completed simply do the following

- Kill all evolution related processes. (not sure if you actually need to do this).
  Simply type 

killev 

  at a console (as root ofcourse).

- cd into the folder that holds all the evolution 1.2 rpms that you downloaded earlier
  and run the following command:

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

So in summary you need to :
- Already have the redhat 8.0 GNOME development package installed.
- Download all files from the above URL into the one folder
- Stop all evolution related processes
- install all the rpms in the folder (that you downloaded) at once.

Hope that helps guys,

John BouAntoun

2002-11-18 Thread Robert Boone
I'm looking for a good backup solution for my web servers. What would a
good SCSI tape drive that Redhat 8.0 supports. I have looked on redhat's

Howto Add an internal SCSI CDBurner

2002-11-18 Thread John BouAntoun
Hi guys,

Quick question that somebody on this list can hopefully point me in the right 
direction to solve.

My old PII machine crashed on the weekend, I was keeping it around cause it had my old 
8 speed SCSI CD Burner in it (it was running win98).

Anyway I pulled the SCSI card and burner out of my old machine and whacked it into my 
redhat machine so I could burn some stuff and came up with the following issues:

- What changes to fstab do I need to make to get the second cd drive (i.e. the burner 
to be recognised).
- Do I need to create a second mount folder for the burner? I already have \mnt\cdrom 
and \mnt\zip100, do i also need a \mnt\cdburner or something?

- Do I need to change any modules to load the SCSI card or will the kernel pick it up 
on boot up?

That's pretty much it, I guess I'm basically asking how to add a second cd drive 
(actually a cd burner) to a red hat linux machine.

Help on this issue is much appreciated.

Gnome Tasklist menu kill gone?

2002-11-18 Thread Peter McNeil
G'day all,

Just installed RH 8.0 as a workstation for the PA here, and noticed the
"kill app" option has gone from the Gnome tasklists right-click menu.
Anyone know how to get it back, it's very useful.

Cheers

I've had good luck with Quantum DLT tape drives.  Fast, lots of
capacity, no problems in over two years of full daily backups on 4
different servers.

1. man rpm - it offers some advice now
2. I beleive if you boot your install CD and choose upgrade that you can
add gnome.

Cab you do rpm -qa|more ?? this will scroll all rpms .
If it locks you might have a corupted rpm database. I
would suggest then do a rpm ‐‐rebuilddb.

I have the new motherboard now, and am starting to install it. I'm
starting to realize slowly that one issue is that many of the drivers
for the motherboard need Microsoft Windows to install properly.

Red Hat Linux includes redhat-config-packages, which will do what you
want, but is limited to the CD's that you installed from.

RHL also includes up2date, which wil ldo what you want, but is limited
to networks servers that Red Hat operates.

You can obtain "apt" and "synaptic" (gui for apt) from freshrpms.net,
which will also do what you want.  In addition to resolving dependencies
among Red Hat's packages, they can fetch programs and resolve
dependencies among additional apt servers.  For instance, if you follow
the directions here:
http://gstreamer.net/releases/redhat/
you can install gstreamer and rhythmbox, and any dependencies they have
from Red Hat Linux.
