486 optimizations are probably the worst possible optimization 
level to use for any processor except a real i486.  Later 
processors are very different.  If for some reason the actual 
code requires 486 specific instructions that aren't available on 
the original i386 instruction set, such as BSWAP, then using 
something like "-march=i486 -mcpu=i686" would provide access to 
the i486 class instructions, but optimize scheduling for i686 
class CPUs.

In the case of VMware however, I seriously doubt that it is even 
remotely useable on a real i486 class machine, and it would 
arguably be not very useful on i586 class hardware either.  
It might make more sense to just require i686 class hardware and 
have it optimized directly for i686.

Of course, there may be some other technical reason I'm 
overlooking...

An ext3 filesystem is an ext2 filesystem, with the addition of 
the journal file, so recovery is identical.

Another method which is much easier, is to remount the partition 
read-only that the files were deleted from, after forcefully
doing a "kill -9" on any software preventing remounting, and then 
using Midnight Commander (mc) to recover the files using it's 
built in undelfs support.  After a very long time of undelfs 
scanning the disk, it will present you with all of the deleted 
inodes, and you can select them for undeletion.  Note that these 
files may be recoverable, or they may have already been 
destroyed because a deleted file's blocks are free to be used by 
the system for future disk writes.  Attempting to recover deleted 
files is a crap shoot because you are praying that the OS has not 
yet used the deleted blocks for something else.  If it has, you 
are screwed.

The deleted files no longer have filenames, just the inode 
number.  So you'll get a huge list of inode numbers like "#34524" 
for filenames.  The easiest way to find your goodies, is to 
recover ALL of them to a separate partition that can hold all of 
the data, then hunt through it with unix utilities like 
grep/strings/etc. or you can search the list in mc sorted by 
date/time, etc.

Recovering deleted files is not fun, but mc makes it somewhat 
easier than using something like debugfs.  The important thing is 
to remount the partition readonly first that contains the files 
deleted.  And to realize that until you get it readonly mounted, 
any command you run could cause the disk to be written to.  For 
example, "init 1" to switch to single user mode might seem like  
a nice quick way to do it, however that will cause many services 
to cleanly shut down, and also to write to disk, write to syslog, 
etc.  Make sure whatever you do, you are preventing apps from 
writing to the partition with the deleted files.  If the 
partition is very very full and has little free space, this is 
ultraimportant.  On partitions with more free space, it is less 
risky.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

Does your audio only skip when playing with grip or also when playing
from other programs?
If it's only grip you could try increasing the priority. Otherwise,
you're in for some serious system tuning. I found the following guide

This is a very wide common misconception that people have.  There 
are essentially 2 types of RAID cards available.

1) True hardware RAID cards which have a processor on board, and 
   usually battery backed NVRAM.  They do the RAID computations 
   in the card's hardware itself, and the battery backed NVRAM 
   helps to ensure disk integrity even if the system gets powered 
   down prematurely.  When the system becomes powered up again, 
   the card will continue writing to disk the data that didn't 
   get written before the power went out.

2) "Firmware RAID" such as the Promise FastTrak.  These cards are 
   software RAID, but the RAID code itself is stored in the ROM 
   chip on the card.  The primary use for these cards is when 
   true hardware RAID is too expensive, and your OS of choice 
   does not have built in software RAID capabilities.  OS's such 
   as Windows 95/98/ME for example do not have software RAID 
   capability built in.  If you want to use RAID, you need to 
   purchase a hardware RAID board, however that can be more cost 
   than is really viable.  The firmware RAID cards allow Windows 
   95/98 users to have RAID capability without spending a 
   fortune.  Another usage of firmware RAID is when you would 
   like to dualboot between 2 different OS's and use software 
   RAID with both on the same disks, and the 2 OS's do not 
   natively support a common RAID format.  For example sharing a 
   RAID array between Windows and Linux.

Many people do not realize the major difference between true 
hardware RAID cards and these firmware RAID cards however, and 
purchase the firmware RAID hardware thinking it is hardware RAID 
with the intent of usage under Linux alone. Unless one is 
sharing the RAID array with Windows or some other OS like I 
mentioned above however, there is really no benefit to 
firmware RAID boards.  Linux "md" RAID is vastly superior.

In many situations as well, on systems with a very modern high
speed processor or processors, Linux "md" RAID is faster than
real hardware RAID cards, simply due to the fact that the raw 
processing power of 2 1.6Ghz CPUs doing software RAID is faster 
than the piddly 100Mhz or whatever speed dedicated CPU on the 
hardware RAID cards.  Of course Linux software RAID can never 
give the reliability guarantees that a battery backed NVRAM 
hardware RAID board can give.

One just needs to explore both their performance and reliabiility 
requirements and choose a solution that best meets the job at 
hand.

>Out of curiosity, has anyone here used the Adaptec 2400A? Is this also
>a "software" RAID card?

I'm not familiar with that one.  I know some of the kernel guys 
talk about 3ware hardware quite a bit, but I don't know specific 
model names that are considered good.  Just be sure when 
purchasing *any* RAID card, that it is really a hardware RAID 
card you are getting if it is a hardware RAID card you are 
looking for.  If the card seems really cheap compared to other 
RAID cards, it probably is not real hardware RAID.

Hope this helps.

While this worked with ext2, "mc" doesn't find any deleted inodes
with ext3. At least not with Valhalla (we're on psyche-list).

Same thing with the (IMO) much faster and more comfortable "recover"
utility: 

  http://recover.sourceforge.net/linux/recover/download.php3

While it was doing a good job with ext2, it didn't find any deleted
files with ext3 the first time I wanted to use it and the second
time it caused a segfault. That is long ago (probably at the time of
Enigma; I don't remember when I converted to ext3, probably when
errata packages made it possible). There's an updated package which
fixes a segfault, but no mention of any changes with regard to ext3.

Hence I assume that Aaron wanted to point out that he has yet to
find an undeletion utility which explicitly advertizes support for
ext3.

Are you sure apache can read your authfile at /var/html/secret/httest?  

You might want to put the full path in your AuthUserFile statement:
AuthUserFile /var/html/secret/httest

And check the permissions on the path and file.  The user "apache" will
need read access to the file.

Keith

/etc/group errors - repost

2002-12-06 Thread Simon Lascelles
I've just upgraded one of my servers from Redhat 7.1 to 8
and am having a problem with /etc/group.

We have a group which has 133 members - this has never
caused a problem before, but now "ls" seems unable to
display the group name, it only displays the number.  It
does the same for any group file entries after the "long"
one.

If I cut out about a half of the group members it all works
fine and "ls" display group names correctly.  It's not any
specific group member causing the fault as it works whichever
half I cut out!

Everything seems to be working fine, it's just the name
lookup seems to fail.

Any suggestions/thoughts gratefully received.

Frequent Konqueror Crashes

2002-12-06 Thread Steven P. Ulrick
Hello, Everyone :)
For a few weeks, Konqueror has been crashing so frequently, it has
become just about useless.  By way of illustration, if I use it to do
much more than look at the names of the files printed on the screen, it
won't be long before it crashes.  My question is, as I am running the
official update of KDE that Red Hat just released, do I report this to
Red Hat, or to the KDE developers.  And also, would I be correct in
assuming that unless the backtrace reports are different, it would be
really rude to send a report every time Konqueror crashes?  I must make
clear that this began to be an issue before I installed the official Red
Hat updates.  Of course I am running Red Hat 8, and I have all the
official updates installed.  And, when I installed Red Hat, I installed
all 1400+ packages.

Thanks for your help on this matter :)

I may (or may not) be of some help. I had similar problems with my

This convinced me to consider that the issue may well be hardware

I ran the full memtest86 test overnight, which came back with an all

Lo and behold, my knoqueror problems were solved and knoqueror worked

You may try something similar by replacing references to "au8820" by

Hello.

Yes,you can not use RED HAT NETWORK but you can use the updates,I never used Red Hat 
Network

Computer slow down

2002-12-06 Thread Margaret_Doll
Lately I am having problems with a web server.  I have to reboot the 
system every other day for the processes to run at a reasonable rate.  
I have old systems running the same software which are having no 
problems.

The partitions have enough room.  The swap space is not heavily used.  
There are no processes showing on top taking up CPU time.  I have the 
system on a direct connection to a 100 MB switch.  I don't see any 
error messages in /var/log/messages.

	The only ports I have open are
		
	21	ftp		I realize this is a hole.  I am working with users, so that 
this can be closed in the near future.
	22	ssh
	80	http
	81	hosts2-ns

	113	auth
	515	printer
	617	unknown
	821	unknown
	6000 X11
	32770  sometime-rpc3

I am running apache on the system.  Arkeia is the backup software.  
This system is a client.

Re: Xinetd Redirect Problems

2002-12-06 Thread Tommy McNeely
or use an iptables rule

my friend can only go "out" on port 23, so I added this...

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 23 -j DNAT 
--to-destination 192.168.0.254:22

(eth1 is the "public" interface)

leave 21 open.


Here is my xinetd configuration that worked before the upgrade:
service ssh-ftp

 protocol   = tcp
 flags  = REUSE
 socket_type= stream
 wait   = no
 user   = root
 redirect   = 10.0.0.25 22

I have tried many different combinations, xinetd will not open port 21
unless I specify a service in the definition.


It is not the firewall.
I installed anonftp and xinetd opened port 21.
I changed sshd to listen on port 21, xinetd opened port 21.


Did something change that I need to add to the configuration?
I scoured xinetd.org and didn't find any clues.

Re: ANSI graphics not displaying properly in 8.0

2002-12-06 Thread Gordon Messmer
Well, where are you seeing the problem?  Ncurses, for instance, works
properly in a local gnome-terminal, xterm, and the system consoles.

If you're seeing the problem on a remote terminal emulator, then you
need to tell your terminal emulator that the RHL system is using a UTF-8
character set.  When you tell your term the correct character set,
ncurses (among other things) will display properly.

If you're having a problem with some hokey application spitting out 8
bit characters on the system console, hoping that they'll form some
fruity graphics, then maybe those applications need to be updated to
UTF-8.

In either of those cases, what you're seeing isn't a bug.  It's a change
that will be the case for future releases.

The old, bad, behavior can be had by setting LANG to en_US in
/etc/sysconfig/i18n.

Iptables is not lying to you. It does not like the old standard alias syntax in
its rules.

Best bet is to do your routing with iproute2. Do a google search on LARTC.

You are getting a lot of questionable advice about how to solve this 
problem.

iptables/NetFilter do not recognize the old alias notation. Rather than "-i 
eth0:1", you want "-i eth0 -d ". So for example, if 
eth0:1 has IP address 192.168.12.14, then your rule is:

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d 192.168.12.14 -j ACCEPT

*cough^2* Both "mc" and "recover" prefer unmounted partitions. Just
in case you meant to tune2fs -O ^has_journal the partition prior to
trying to undelete, I tested that a minute ago. Again, "mc" fails to
find anything. On Valhalla, though. Maybe that makes a difference.

An unmounted ext3 partition should not appear any different than an unmounted 
ext2 partition.  ext3 is just ext2 w/ a journal.  Are you trying to tell MC 
what file system the partition is?

Debug linux to Windows Printer problem

2002-12-06 Thread Cy Ball
I have set up a printer on a windows machine as a shared printer.
Samba is set up on my RH8.0 machine.  I can see the shares properly on
both machines.

When I use the test on the printer configuration program, it says it
sent the test page to the printer.

Nothing happens. When I use lpq to look at the queue, I find:

Printer: hp5l@localhost
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
 Server: no server active
 Status: keeping error job 'root@localhost+375' at 10:58:47.454
 Rank   Owner/ID  Class Job Files Size
Time
error  root@localhost+222   A   222 ERROR: job removal requested


How can I find out what is going on?  I have searched web for clues, but
find nothing useful.

Help please!

Re: Password authentication issue / Apache 2.0

2002-12-06 Thread Tommy McNeely
two things I see..


###
AuthUserFile should have a full path unless it is in the /etc/apache/ 
directory (or whatever server root is)
###
the httest file should be named .httest so that the built in deny rules in 
apache prevent users from downloading it and "cracking" the passwords.. 
also should NEVER be directly in a web accessable fodler.

Are you sure apache can read your authfile at /var/html/secret/httest?

You might want to put the full path in your AuthUserFile statement:
AuthUserFile /var/html/secret/httest

And check the permissions on the path and file.  The user "apache" will
need read access to the file.

TT Fonts added to ~/.fonts not available in OO or Gimp

2002-12-06 Thread Gerry Tool
I have added a few truetype fonts to my ~/.fonts directory.  They show up fine 
in KWord, but do not show up in OpenOffice.org or in The Gimp.  I have 
restarted the X server and have even had a reboot since then.  Some time ago I 
used an RPM to add the standard TrueType fonts to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/
and all of those fonts show up in OO and Gimp.  I cannot find the 
documentation on how to update the fonts.dir file and fonts.scale file if I 
copy these new fonts to that directory.

Help.

Think about it a minute. Iptables is a security tool. Aliases
mean the data is on the "eth0" network ready to be sniffed if
you try to have two different addresses on two different
virtual networks on one "eth0". So it is quite logical for it
to refuse to support such an idiot configuration.

And as Jack mentioned right way to do routing is with routing
hardware. But routing between two networks on a single wire
is just a wee bit boggling. There's no "security" in that
arrangement. Is it a historical thing that is combining the
computers from two different companies that had different
addresses? It MAY be easier to simply readdress one set. But
a forced routing could also solve the issue. The "route"
command should do nicely to force the routing.

I don't believe that rhn_applet figures out the kernel version by using uname, 
since that doesn't provide what kernel rpm is installed.  Again, rpm -qa 
|grep kernel, show me what you have.

To cut down on wasted time and bandwidth, I would
recommend using rsync to rsync the updates from a fast
mirror to a central server, and then working from
there. I wouldn't manually download them though... or
you might be a little behind on your updates (as it
already seems you are slightly behind if you just
noticed the samba updates). I would recommend using a
cron script to sync the updates every 4 to 6 hours, or
even once daily should be enough. Then you can either
rsync the clients on your internal lan and use up2date
on the local filesystem, or you could use a
handwritten script or someone elses scripts.

To display the entire desktop (similar to how you'd see terminal
services or PC Anywhere) you want to use VNC.  However, if you don't
need/want the whole desktop and just want to run X apps remotely you can
do that too (but this needs more bandwidth).  To enable the remote
display of X apps do "ssh -X servername" as another poster suggested. 
Then just run the X command name at the prompt.  The processing will be
done on the remote machine but all the display information is sent to
your local display [1].

VNC is a little harder to setup but is more of a "virtual screen" and a
more bandwidth friendly protocol.  On the server you want the
"vnc-server" RPM installed and on the client you want the "vnc" RPM
installed.  On the server you need to edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers to
suit (there are directions in the file, follow them) and then start the
VNC server service:
# /sbin/service vncserver start

Then you can use your Linux or Windows VNC client of choice to access
it.  I highly suggest reading the VNC documentation.  Note that VNC is
not secure by default so you shouldn't do this across an untrusted
network unless you know what you are doing.  Also, if you are running
with a firewall you might (probably) need to open up the ports VNC uses
on the server.  This is only a very high-level sort of explanation of
VNC intended to get you pointed in the right direction...

Hope that helps.

Sean

[1] In X parlance the "server" is the machine displaying the apps, the
"client" is the program that is displaying to the "server".  Thus,
XFree86 (the environment that displays all the graphics when you sit at
a Linux box) is an "X server" and when you run (for instance) mozilla it
is the "X client".  Of course, the client and the server can run on the
same computer but they don't have to because X was designed with
networking in mind.  That's why/how the first option above works.

You have to restart XFS.  Of course, this happens during a reboot, but thats a 
little overkill.

Yes, I have tried with just restarting xfs but the fonts do not appear in The GIMP
and I have terminal problems. So I just reboot.

If you need to add more fonts, you do not mkdir or chkfontpath
I have found I need to reboot to make them work in The GIMP. Why?
I have no idea but that is what I do.


Thanks for the reply.  It worked.  By the time I tried it, I also saw Jesse

then the KDE menu had no entries.  I did a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart X,

sshd is not a tcpwrappers/xinetd thing. Delete the file you
created and issue the command "service sshd start". If sshd
is installed on your system this should be all it takes to get
it running.

However, running is not enough. You may also need to open a hole
for it in your firewall if you have one running.

Actually, sshd is compiled against libwrap.  So you can use /etc/hosts.foo to 
control access to ssh.

You'd be suprised how many things are compiled against libwrap.

Try this:
/usr/bin/fc-cache -f -v /path/to/new/fonts

As of 8.0, there are two methods used for font handling, the legacy xfs 
and the new fontconfig Xft handling.

- From the release notes:
o Red Hat Linux now uses Xft for fonts in GNOME and KDE, which uses
   fontconfig for configuring fonts. The old style Xft config file
   /etc/X11/XftConfig is no longer used or supported, having been
   replaced by the new unified fontconfig method of configuration. The
   fontconfig config file can be customized by editing
   /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file.

   If you have fonts that you would like to add to your configuration,
   you can copy them to ~/.fonts (or /usr/share/fonts), and run
   fc-cache directory. The fonts will then be available.

fonts in GIMP

Hello,

I use:

it---  just checked on my wifes, and it isn't there...

So, anyway, grab the Freetype plugin and give-it-a-go.  It works well for

Audio disk can not (currently) use DMA.  That could be your problem, but
it sounds awful severe for that.  Is your CD drive on the same channel
as the fs you're reading/writing to?

My hard disks are hda, and hdb, CD drive is hdc and I don't have similar

Navigator : problem on opening OfficeXP document on Internet

2002-12-06 Thread Stephen Liu
Hi all folks,

I encountered difficulty reading MS OfficeXP documents attached to a
webmail on Internet with a click

I already selected OpenOffice to open MS Word document on 

Preference -> Navigator -> Application -> highlight MS Word Document ->
OpenOffice.

However clicking the OfficeXP document attached to a webmail on Internet
started an empty OpenOffice document not reading the attachment. I have
no idea how to fix it. The plugin was grey out.  about:plugins showed
its existing but without an application to open MS Word document

Any folk on the list can shed me some light.  Thanks in advance.

The adobe reader has search.  I have found that mine crashes if I search
for text and don't find anything.  Haven't tried to figure out why.

There is another way to search a pdf, use the /usr/bin/pdftotext program
(part of the xpdf package) and pipe the result to grep:

pdftotext  | grep .

The adobe reader is easier, if not for that search bug.

I do not have Netscape anything here, so I cannot see those options. 
Mozilla is the browser of choice here.

I can try to help, but there is only so much I can do.  I am not going
to install Konquerer or Netscape to try this.  It works in Mozilla.

# rpm -q plugger
plugger-4.0-17

# rpm -qa | grep mozilla
mozilla-mail-1.0.1-26
mozilla-1.0.1-26
mozilla-nspr-1.0.1-26
mozilla-psm-1.0.1-26
mozilla-nss-1.0.1-26

# rpm --verify plugger
(Nothing is displayed here, since my plugger package is not modified.)

# rpm -qa|grep Abi
(Nothing is displayed here, because I have no AbiWord installed.)

# rpm -qf `which oowriter`
openoffice-1.0.1-8

Restart Mozilla, check Help -> About -> Plugins

You'll see "application/x-msword" and "application/msword" about 8 lines
from the bottom of the list of mime-types handled by plugger.

I have verified with numerous documents that this works.  OpenOffice.org
is loaded for viewing .doc files when including in an email that is read
using Hotmail, Lycos, and Squirrelmail (on my server).  I can verify on
Yahoo if absolutely necessary.  I do not want to agree to the terms and
conditions on another site I don't need to join.

Only when you have completed these steps can I help further.  Make sure
you have the same packages, use the same program, and it should work no
problem.  I have not got WindowsXP here.  I have several .doc files
laying around that I use for testing, which contain various tables etc.
(Company documents.)

Good luck,
-Ryan

Re: OpenOffice for .doc links on webpages (was Re: Netscape browser)

2002-12-06 Thread Stephen Liu
Hi Ryan,

Lot of thanks for your detail advice and time spent.

I tell you the whole story which is rather funny:

I need to open and read a Microsoft word document on Internet which is
attached to a webmail

I performed following experiment.  Prepared a table on OfficeXP word and
sent it as attachment to following websites respectively:

lycos.com
yahoo.com
hotmail.com

I used both Konqueror and Mozilla as browser for this test.  The final
outcome is as follows:

Konqueror:
lycom.com   table can be opened and read correctly with a click
yahoo.com   table can be opened and read correctly with a click
hotmai.com  table has to be saved to a folder first before
opening/reading

Mozilla:
lycom.com   table can be opened and read correctly with a click
yahoo.com   table has to be saved to a folder first before reading
hotmai.com  table can be opened and read correctly with a click

(Remark: Kword and OpenOffice are applications to open the table)

When it came to Netscape I met with the difficulty that the plugin grey
out (about:plugins showed it was there).  I selected OpenOffice as
application to open the table.  A click on the table (webmail
attachment) started OpenOffice but only an empty document displayed.

I have been searching around for assistance

B.Regards
Stephen Liu

Re:ide drives - revisited

2002-12-06 Thread Donald G Wilson Jr
Many thanks to all those who offered help on my IDE errors. It ended up
being the IDE cable, as it wasn't the newer type.

Now I get nice clean boots again.

I might add this though.

I installed, formatted etc, this drive in the RH8 install program. This
using the old cable (UDMA 33 Style). When I put the new style cable in
and booted, my initial problems disappeared but boot failed to swapon,
as it could not find hda3. I used the second drive connector on the new
cable and swapon was fine on all consecutive boots. Do the newer IDE
cables have A and B ends like a floppy? Or is it just coincidence?

Some of them have connectors for a master & slave drive, just like the
UDMA 33's

I find this a little interesting since I have a similar set-up and symptom.

AMD 1800+
ABIT KR7
Western Digital WDC200BB-75CLB0

I was getting this message and removed the drive from service.  This 
all happened after I installed RH 8.0 from 7.2 but I called a coincidence.

I guess I'm going to have to take a closer look at my cable setup before

I haven't seen a non-Xeon with HyperThreading enabled yet. In theory it
should work just fine as it's nearly identical to the P4 Xeon. Don't
expect a massive speed enhancement because of the HyperThreading though.
In fact, you may experience slowdowns. You will probably not notice it
though as the clock speed is insanely fast anyway.

I'm waiting to drop a "Hammer" in my next system.

Re: Connecting to Win 2K with Samba

Well I'm making "progress".  I have tried net use from the windows
boxes but I did not know the sintax properly.  I tried as you suggested
and the error has changed!  

It now says that no service is running at the the Samba end.  Any ideas
there.  Yes I can Ping Deneb from both windows boxes.

Thanks for all your help

You need to open TCP 137:139 and UDP 137:139 ports in your firewall 
configuration.

Click System Settings -> Security Level
Click Costumize
Fill the box next to Other ports: (1029:tcp) with 
137:tcp,138:tcp,139:tcp,137:udp,138:udp,139:udp
Click Ok

Browse again from Network Neighborhood in your windows boxes, hopefully 
you can see your linux server now.

Certainly, although I personally do not install XFree86 on 
systems which are servers.

Then again...  I read XFree86 source code all day long every day 
so...

Playing IFILM Trailers on RH8?

2002-12-06 Thread David Colburn
A 5min Star Trek: Nemesis trailer as well as some other sci-fi clips are
on this site but I cannot get MTV or RealPlayer8 to be recognized with
Mozilla -- anyone able to make this happen or is another browser
recommended?  (I currently only have Gnome running but suppose I can add
KDE if a KDE-specific browser adds the necessary plugin functionality.)

compiling mplayer from cvs

2002-12-06 Thread Matt Whiteley
I am trying to compile the new mplayer source to try out the quicktime
playback as I am really tired of seeing the little messages in the
crossover player.
I ran ldconfig before trying to compile and I have the freshrpms version
of mplayer installed and working.  Configure runs and I am a little
surprised at some of the things it seems to not find (libdv, which was
installed and seems to work fine) and then make exits with an error:

I suggest everybody read the interview Jeremy Andrews did with Ingo Molnar
which was posted on Kerneltrap today. One of the best interviews I have read
regarding linux internals. Ingo does discuss hyperthreading and how it is being
handled in the upcoming 2.6 kernel. We are lucky to have a lieutenant such as
Ingo involved with linux kernel development.
