wvdial and mail access
Hi all : I have been searching for documentation for how to configure a Red Hat Linux server to dial-out to a MAIL server. I found a program called 'wvdial' , but it seems as though this deals with modem connections to your ISP. Could I use a program like weavedial ( Wvdial ) to configure a dial-out to another mail server , which is incidently also Red Hat ? I *know* this is a RH 8 mailing list , but the distro I want to do the configuration on is actually Red Hat 7.2 Thanks a ton , Jason
fc-cache and NT Font weirdness..
I have a multiboot notebook with Win98/Win2K and RH 8.0 Linux. The Win98 partition and the 2K partition (FAT and NTFS respectively) are mounted when RH8.0 boots. I have a soft link going from /usr/share/local/fonts to /mnt/C/WINDOWS/FONTS for each ttf font and this works fine and fc-cache sees everything. Yes, I edited /etc/fonts/fonts.conf as well!! I wish to nuke my 98 installation, but I still have to keep 2k for the present. Attempting the same soft link to /mnt/E/WINNT/fonts works but fc-cache fails to see anything on Linux (it doesn't report errors though) . Note that I link the fonts *not* the font directory because font-cache will want to write some data there and the NTFS partition is not mounted writeable. Local copies of the 2K fonts work fine, but I don't want to gobble up 50MB or so with something I have elsewhere on disk. Maybe fc-chache doesn't like NT files (strange, it gets on ok with 98) or worse, maybe it doesn't like ro-files? Any suggestions?

I may need to reinstall the RedHat OS. Is this reproducible? What does "rpm -V rpm" give? And "rpm --rebuilddb"? According to your logs, you had a kernel panic with 2.4.18-14 on January 5th and another one 20 minutes later. Any particular reason for that? In the logs I couldn't find any hard disk drive block read error messages. I suspect your RAM chips may be bad or your system unstable. That would explain the kernel panic and signal 11 upon running rpm, unless RPM itself is damaged. You might want to try memtest86 from Google. The fsck on January 7th corrected /home, not /usr or any partition that contains important system binaries. - -- -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+IqTn0iMVcrivHFQRAi51AJ4wqc9XzDuRbPoCRcLiMq9UVylZ9ACfdhUp 8g/mFydnRD6T+M+2ugZ2rvg= =d/Lf -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

Re: wvdial and mail access
What I have is a simple no-nonsense PPP connection using an already configured external modem , with an already configured 'chat' program. Basically I have a Windows LAN with workstations that connect over a LAN to the Linux Server , and then the Linux server uses an external modem attached to one of it's COMM ports to dial-out to a Telephone number , with a username and password. Once a successful connection has been made , all of the Windows users have internet access. All I need to do is change the telephone number and account information that the Chat program uses to establish the dial-up connection , because the ISP's have changed. I just don't know where the 'Chat' program keeps this information , and what I need to do once I have found this file and changed all of the necessary details. The other thing I want to try and do is to set up this machine to only dial the ISP on demand , and then to drop the connection automatically when it sits idle for a certain amount of time. The reason I asked about the 'wvdial' is that it seemed easier to configure , in which case I would have rebuilt the configuration on the RH 7.2 server from scratch , but the LATEST development is that I must use the Chat program. There is no wvdial installed , and I am not allowed to install new software. The new ISP will redirect mail requests to the RH 7.2 server , so the only thing I need to worry about is how to change the Chat program's account info Apologies for the confusion. - Original Message - From: "Neil Bird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 1:25 PM Subject: Re: wvdial and mail access > Around about 13/01/2003 09:24, Jason Dale typed ... > > I have been searching for documentation for how to configure > > a Red Hat Linux server to dial-out to a MAIL server.

Where to begin? First off, do some googling as there's a lot of info out there for linux backup software. You could start here: http://www.linuxjournal.com/bg/advice/archive.php Some questions to ask yourself: DO you want to buy or use free stuff? How much to spend? Do you want to lock your customers into a propriatary scheme? Will you provide the first line support? How easy is easy? All backup software requires configuration. What tape devices will be/might be used? Is it possible Windows machines be involved later? Is it possible other Unix machines be involved later? Perhaps you should decide which backup scheme you would like to support. Then you can support your customers in the best way. FWIW, I use amanda as it uses the native backup tools in the OS. It was a bit of a beast to configure at first, and no fancy GUI.

Screen Savers on RH8 causing lockups

Amazing; I received the COLDEST shoulder from Promise when I called them in the 2nd and 3rd week of November about drivers and support for a Fasttrack SX4000 and RedHat 8.0 (which they still don't support!!). Staff varied between incredibly rude to clueless but at least trying to be helpful. In short, they refused to help me get the drivers to work with 8.0. I ended up going with 7.3 box and using Promise's 7.3 version of the drivers only to find that these drivers only supported a 1st release version of the 7.3 kernel. Promise also refused to compile against newer libraries and refused to give me any source to do it myself (one upper level tech went into a tirade about how the driver is their intellectual property etc..etc..). Therefore I was stuck using the initial release of the 7.3 kernel. Lack of any fault tolerance finally pushed me to return their product after the controller completely destroyed a RAID 5 array after a power failure. Linux software RAID has been proven to be faster and more reliable than any of these "hardware" solutions. Lack of true open source drivers leaves you miles behind the latest kernel. I do believe that many of these problems would be taken care of if Promise would release all their Linux drivers as true open source.

About gconfd-2
Hi to all: After install a fresh RH80 on my laptop, i can ear the disk working every 4-5 seconds. Taking a look to the top and process monitor seems to be ( I'm newbie, can be sure ) the gconfd-2 process who is making the work with the disk. I've been waiting to see if this works ends at any time, but never stops. It's normal for gconfd-2 to be writing always to disk, and be the 1st or 2nd process on a top command, every time?

It will allow you to setup a cron job at night (or whenever) to do the backups. We have it on about 50 customer machines and it works well. My favorite feature is that it will create recover media. You can create bootable CD/DVD/floppies and with a single tape restore the system from bare metal. It creates partitions and filesytems and everything necessary to get the system back to the state it was when the tape was made. We build SCSI and ATA hardware RAID systems and there are times when human intervention causes the RAID system to be destroyed. We have had customers back in production in under an hour with these bare metal restores. One caution is that BackupEDGE does not support SW RAID at this time. If you go to their web site you can download the latest version and run it in demo mode for about 60 days. If you like it, it will cost about $200 per machine. You will need to register it to use it after 60 days. I think they sell a $100 one time personal copy. They have good tech support as well. It's easy to setup, it works in real life situations (it has saved me many hours of late night support time) so I am very happy with it. Check out their online documentation to see just how powerful the product is. There are others out there. Do a google search on LoneTar, BRU and Mondo to name just a few. You could also check out Amanda which comes with the OS. Thanks, Frank -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

This is very urgent. Thanks in advance guys. I would suggest mondo. Once you set up a nice script (fairly easy to do) then all the user has to do is pop in a new tape and click the script. (or cdrw, or just let it run to an NFS server). Restores are a sinch as well, boot off the boot media that mondo creates for you, choose "nuke" and it will automagically partition/format/restore your data, even growing partitions or shrinking partitions if moving to a larger/smaller harddrive.

A - I see your confusion. Dell, could make the website somewhat better, I agree. However, you don't need windows to use the driver/application packages on the site. When I list the software available to our PowerEdge servers, and list only Linux, you're right when I ask for a specific download, it only prints .exe files.

You forget that some of the utililites are not needed on Linux. You have complete driver sets for all your hardware - what is not always there is cute little purpose less programs to view Scsi status graphicly (ie) - well, we got better ways of doing that from the command line anyway. But I guess that depends on your temper and experience. Personally I'm very fond of the /proc filesystem and access to the details of all setup and available switches compared to the reduced availability on Windows systems. > The Dell My Support page downloads that i need are .exe files that > needs windows to create the boot disk that i need, some documentation > are even bundled in .exe files. No they don't :) But it's easy to confuse. See above. unzip is available in the standard RH distribution.

If you create a $HOME/.forward file with something like this: |exec /usr/bin/procmail Then, postfix will honor it and forward mail to procmail.

orphaned processes in 7.3 and 8.0
hi all. I'll try to give as much info as possible about this small annoyance. Just to summarize what's happening, though, I'm seeing a lot of orphaned processes on both redhat 7.3 and 8.0 boxes. By 'orphaned', I mean that the processes wind up being listed as having PPID '1', and not attached to any pty. For example, I have blackbox running on my local desktop, and if I open up Eterm, issue the command 'vi myfile', and then click the eterm window control to close the window, I'll be left with a bash and Eterm process, both under PPID '1', and a vi process owned by the original bash process (now a child of PPID '1'). On my local machine, this really isn't much of an issue, because I actually make a point of exiting everything properly. I never just click to close a window. However, we have some 7.3 workgroup servers that people in the department can just 'ssh -X' to, and they may not be so careful. After a while, the load average on these machines goes up over 3 or 4, and I find myself running 'ps -ef | grep vi' and killing off old vi (and emacs) processes. Doing this causes the load average to (almost every time) 0.00 again. The 8.0 machine is running a redhat stock kernel (2.4.18), and has 1GB of RAM. The 7.3 machines are dual Xeon Dell 2650's running a custom-configured 2.4.20 kernel. They're all identical from both a hardware and software perspective. Is there a way to kill off these orphans, or detect them with some script to make the job of maintaining these boxes easier? Also, why does this seem to only happen on Linux boxes? I have only seen this on solaris in very rare instances. Is this a problem with the individual applications not exiting properly, or a problem with the kernel or redhat or something?

Increasing an ext3 partition
Hi guys, I have a bit of an issue. I installed RH 8.0 in 4 GB of HDD space in the following format: - 1GB Swap partition - 3GB ext3 partition mounted at / A very simple partitioning approach. My problem is that I am running out of spave on my / partition. I have resized my windows partition (i.e. shrunk it) to make up some more room for linux using Partition Magic, but I don't have a version that can resize ext3 partitions. I suddenly relaized that in all the time I have used linux I have never had to resize my linux drive. So my question is, how do I expand my ext3 / partition to take up the newly freed up hard disk space?

Do these products exist for > Linux ? pkgadd and friends are the tools that collectively make up the package management system under Solaris. Presumably, you're wanting to run Solaris executables under Linux, then. There are a whole bunch of problems with what you're probably trying to do (I say probably, because I'm making a few assumptions about your setup and motives). Solaris packages are really just cpio archives with a little semantic glue packed around them. So, technically, unpacking them under Linux shouldn't be incredibly hard (now that I think about it, raw cpio may just do the trick). You'll need to write these tools; to the best of my knowledge (someone will probably correct me as soon as I send this ;-), package-compatible versions of these don't exist right now. However, assuming you get past that, you now have a couple of problems: - You're (probably; I assume you're not running Solaris x86, because, well, if you are, you already have enough problems ;-) trying to run binaries for a completely different hardware platform. Not gonna work. Period. Unless someone has written "VMWare SPARC" while I've been dozing. ;-) If you're running Solaris x86, then... - You're trying to run binaries built for a completely differen operating system. Because Solaris and Linux have ELF in common, you might actually be able to get something working here by mass-importing libraries from Solaris until you have a working environment. But at that point, you're really just running Solaris on Linux, which begs the question of why you wouldn't just use Solaris for the job ;-) If you're skilled, you may be able to make something work, depending on the software and architecture it targets. But just use Solaris. Or get a Linux version of whatever software you're trying to run. You'll be much happier. -- Edward S.

RE: fc-cache and NT Font weirdness..
I wouldn't be able to mount the file system or link to it without a recompile, sorry I thought that was obvious from by description. I don't want to enable write though as I know that there are still some issues though with writes to an NTFS filesystem so I can't just link the directory. I must link the contents of the WIN2K fonts directory to my font directory (/usr/local/share/fonts/win). The program fc-cache doesn't see the files if they are soft linked to the NTFS partition. It does if they are linked to the Win98 FAT partition. If I copy the Win2K fonts with cp, no problem, so I guess the fonts are ok. My theory is that perhaps fc-cache is looking to open the files for write (allowed from LINUX under FAT but not under NTFS).

How to update evolution?
I had updated my evolution to evolution-1.2.1-2 (from rawhide) some times ago. Now I would like to update to evolution-1.2.1-4 (or reinstall 1.2.1-2, but it's no longer in rawhide), because there are some problems with my installation. The new version requires newer version of several libs, esp. libcrypto and libssl, which seems to be delivered by the openssl package. If I try to update openssl it is rejected because there are many many progs which depend of libcrypto/libssl.so.2 which should be replaced by *.so.4 by the update. I don't like to update all these programs (postgresql, samba, kdebase, ...) which work quite fine. May I force an update of openssl and will it not break all the other progs or should I force an update of evolution and will it work with the older lib, too? How to proceed? Thanks for advice. Peter P.S. The problem with my installation: When I click on tools -> pilot conduit settings nothing happens at all. I can't configure the conduit.

The Promise technicians also stated that this was true if you have an onboard Promise controller and then try to plug in a pci promise card - Good Luck!!! I was rather frustrated as nowhere was it documented that you could only use a single card and was also having similiar difficulty in getting them to release drivers for Red Hat 7.3. They had 6.1/2 out there for download. In my case I was refused driver support at the time and told to wait till they were released (who knows when) or downgrade to Red Hat 6.1/2. There was some kernel support for the promise driver at the time but not for RAID 1+0 (only mirroring). I would have preferred to use something a little more tried and true especially given I wanted to use two cards in the same system. I stumbled across a post somewhere stating that 3Ware was selling RAID cards again so I decided to check them out. I found a good deal on the 3w7410 (4 channel) at www.hypermicro.com for $235 The drivers are fully open source and Red Hat will recognize the Card without having to load any additional driver(s), etc. The 3Ware cards also support multiple cards in a single system without any problems and come with either 2,4,8 or 12 channel support (some have serial ata).

If you haven't done a kernel compile before, you may want to do some googling around for the compile how-tos out there. It isn't much of a mystery. The important thing is to get a working .config file, either by using the xconfig or menuconfig scripts before starting the compile process.

If I use the .forward approach above, and have a .procmailrc file in the user's home directory, will the procmailrc then me processed? I am not quite sure what impact of making a call to procmail from the forward file has for the user. Is the following correct? Postfix sees the .forward file that starts procmail. Procmail starts and looks in $HOME/.procmailrc (and most likely /etc/procmailrc) and does its thing. Once the mail is processed, procmail goes away until that user receives email again. Not a bad approach. However, if one wants to use spamd with all users, then having procmail running to process individual .procmailrc calls to spamdc might make more sense? > >If someone is using RH 8 Postfix, would they please confirm that these > >are the bottom two lines in /etc/postfix/main.cf: > Here are the last 4 lines of the original Red Hat installed main.cf on > my system: > # readme_directory: The location of the Postfix README files. > # > readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-1.1.11/README_FILES > alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases Thank you very much.

The referenced page does not have any javascript or j-script. It is a simple page I put up for testing purposes. Me finding an editor will only solve music on my test page.

I would like to put up another test page that has a generic approach to background music. What html code would accomplish the same thing as BGSOUND? -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

Slow Nautilus fine rename
Hello all, I am using Nautilus 2.0.6 with RH 8.0 with kernel 2.4.18-19.8.0. I have found a weird behavior pattern when renaming files in Nautilus. I use F2 to get into the name of the file, change it and press enter to validate it. For the first file I do this all goes ok and very quickly. Once I press Enter to validate the change, I get the hand back almost instantly. But if I go on to rename another file right after a first one then there is a problem when I press Enter to validate the change. I don't get the hand back instantly. Nautilus hangs for some time (I'd say something like 30 seconds). Anyone has an idea what could be causing this ?
