/etc/fstab

[David Sudjiman]

Dear Senior,

I'm using rh80 and curious about the /etc/fstab (I did man fstab)
1. I found

none/dev/ptsdevptsgid=5,mode=62000
none/procproc defaults   00
none/dev/shmtmpfs   defaults  00

what are that for?

2.  I have my win partition and I need it to be available on linux. Then I
add this line to my /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1/mnt/winvfatdefaults 0 0

but then I found that only root can write to this partition.. how can I make
every user in can write to this?


thx

.dave, knows nothing.

Something like (one line):

/dev/hda1   /mnt/win   vfat  
defaults,user,umask=077,gid=oeysteio,uid=oeysteio 0 0

System virtual devices you usually need.
tmpfs is a filesystem that resides in RAM.

TIMTOWTDI...

edit /etc/security/console.perms and base upon floppy and disk...
Add this to # device classes -- these are shell-style globs
=/dev/hda1,/mnt/win

And then add this to # permission definitions
  0660  0660 root.disk

change your fstab entry to:

/dev/hda1/mnt/winvfatdefaults,owner,rw 0 0

Now, I'm saying this by heart, so there may still be some rough edge to
adjust, but it's a good starting point.

Another (faster) way to do it, is:
/dev/hda1/mnt/winvfatdefaults,user,uid=YOURUID,gid=YOURGID 0
0

But this is not so neat :)

That was completely it. I had to fully refferance the path of the file. Does

Gotta love the pace of open source progress and google as a way to find

An interesting problem

[Joshua Dolan]

Greetings,

I installed RH 8.0 back in October and have had few problems.  I have my box 
connected to the internet thru our company DSL line and it is working well.  
Recently, I setup a modem (dialup) connection for a backup to our ADSL 
connection, (that is where I found a problem.)  The modem dials up great and 
connects to the ISP reliably.  But when I try to get email or go to 
websites, sometimes it works and sometimes not!

I replaced the modem (a 3COM USR PCI modem) and the new one did the same 
thing.  The ISP settings are the same for the ADSL carrier as the dialup 
carrier (they are one in the same.)  Has anyone had problems with unreliable 
dialup connections and how have you solved them?  Our WeenieDoze box has no 
problems doing dialups on the same line.

Any help appreciated guys!

unreliable dialup connections and how have you solved them?

Funny you mention this, I've noticed an increase in the amount of 
dropped dialup connections on my system for some time, but the increase 
isn't so large that I've started pulling my hair out.  More like 5-10%, 
usually within the first few minutes after connecting but also occuring 
in the time frame thereafter.  I've got the same modem too:  56k 
USR/3Com PCI.  After confirming that it wasn't my ISP's fault, I figured 
some construction or other outside influences were degrading phone 
service quality around my house.  I didn't read about any major changes 
within the ppp/modem code between 7.3 and 8.0, so I never suspected an 
upgrade from 7.3 to 8.0 to be the problem.

(Oh, in case you didn't notice, I have no solutions to share either!  ;)

Have you done any analysis at all, like simple ping tests to a hostname
vs. an IP address? Does the connection actually drop, or is it more like
name resolution failure? It would help if the symptoms can be narrowed
down a bit.

It could have been wrong in the Gnome that shipped with 8.0, but the

I suspect it is more likely that your /win directory does not have

Eyal,

I ran into the same problem with my previous laptop -- I needed my
wireless PCMCIA NIC to use at home, and my ethernet PCMCIA NIC to use at
work.

The setup I got working, was to setup my wireless PCMCIA card as eth0
(which I did while at home), and then setup my ethernet PCMCIA card as
eth1 when I was at the office. During this setup, I had the wireless
PCMCIA card at home, not plugged in.

For whatever reason, it worked fine. Both cards came up as eth0 (since
only one was plugged in at a time), and when at the office I would see
an error about the incorrect module for eth0 being loaded, but it still
worked fine.

I never got the system to work correctly while both cards were plugged
in, even if only one card was connected to a network. As long as only
one card was plugged in, then whichever card was in use came up as eth0,
and it worked fine in spite of any error messages.

Hope this helps.

You are confusing fnmatch-style patterns (which the shell uses) with

The first thing I would try to do is ping a known IP address on the
Internet, and see if is successful. If it is, then you have it narrowed
down to a DNS problem. If you don't know any IP addresses, try the IP
address of your ISP's DNS server.

Assuming that it is a DNS problem, first check the file
/etc/resolv.conf. This holds the IP addresses of your DNS servers, and
it should match whatever the documentation from your ISP tells you.

When the ppp daemon dials up to your ISP to get a connection, it gets an
IP address for itself, a default gateway/router, and a DNS configuration
which it uses to update /etc/resolv.conf. If this file is not being
updated, it may be empty, or it may have the wrong information (from a
previous configuration).

In the "old days" of Linux (a couple of years ago), you had to manually
change the permissions on this file in order to allow the ppp daemon to
write to it. I would assume that RedHat takes care of the permissions
issue automatically, but I haven't done it in such a long time that I
really don't know.

Anyway, try pinging an IP address, and check your /etc/resolv.conf, and
let us know if anything turns up.

You might also want to check your syslog (/var/log/messages) and see if
pppd is throwing out any error messages when connecting. Just a
last-minute thought.

I know I had to manually edit the config file for eth1 (my wireless
card), and change the channel to 6 (it was 1 by default).

You might also verify whether you are set to use 64 bit WEP or 128 bit
WEP. They do not use compatible keys, even if you (try to) enter the
same key for both.

I used to know what aliases were, but I've since forgotten. I think it
might be used when assigning multiple IP addresses to a single card. In
any case, you shouldn't need to worry about it.

Any idea why?

I use Orinoco Gold and Lucent AP-500

It is working for me, but I am using the Orinoco Silver (40-bit key) and 
a Linksys access point.  This is format I used to enter my key:

--FF [4]

Notice I am using key 4.  There have been multiple posts by people who 
are using 128-bit keys, but I have never tried using anything but the 
standard 40-bit keys.  AFAIK, anything above 40-bit with 802.11b is 
proprietary, but you may still get it to work.  I believe the 802.11a 
and 802.11g standard both support higher levels of encryption.

How do you set in Linux 128bit?   I thought if you set it to 13 digits then
its 128bit?  no?

I think i have the same channel in the config file.

Wireless NIC problem.

[Aaron Konstam]

I have a laptop and a docking station that uses wireless Internet
access on eth1. Depending on whether the docking station is used and
the transmitter setup in different locations three different NIC
cards are used.
Is there a way to automate the loading of the right NIC kernel module
at boot up for the various cards without doing it manually each time?

When posting to a technical mailing list it is useful to specify your 
distribution (eg. FreeBSD 6.0), your kernel (eg 2.4.19-2) and anything 
else that might be relevant.  In this case your distribution makes a 
huge difference to the answer to the question because different 
distributions put files in different places.

On my system (Red Hat 8.0) the drivers for video cards are stored in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/

You should copy/move the savage_drv.o file into that directory.  Make 
sure that the permissions are the same as the other drivers in that 
directory.  If you don't know how to do that then read the manuals that 
came with your distribution and/or the HOWTOs at http://www.tldp.org  
and/or the RUTE tutorial at that site.

This question has been asked and answered before on this list and I'm 
sure that if you do a Google search you'll find more detailed answers.  
That should be your starting point for any question:  search the net to 
see if it has been answered before.  That way, people on these lists can 
spend time helping people who've already researched the topic a little.

I wouldn't say that...don't be afraid to put things in Bugzilla if you
think you've found a bug.  Maybe it's good to discuss it on the list
first but it's not absolutely necessary.  However, it is helpful if
people look for duplicates to see if the issue they are reporting has
already been fixed.  

After we fix a bug, we resolve it as "Rawhide" but there's really no
explanation there of what "Rawhide" means or where you can get the new
version.  I think that's what caused the communication problem in bug
#83353.  Maybe bugzilla should provide a link to Rawhide where people
can find the updated packages.

Timestamp on files not correct.

[Tomas Larsson]

Suddenly the file creation or modification time is incorrect.
I am using RH8 as an firewall/router/web server.
If I'm using SSH from my winbox and type "date" I'm getting the correct date
and time i.e. 
thu feb 6 21:42:14 GMT+1 2003

This is correct since I'm located in Sweden.

But if I'm using Windows Explorer through SAMBA and open a shared directory
newly created files are dated exactly 2 hours later.
The same applies if I'm viewing the directory from the file manager in
WEBMIN.

If I'm typing ls -l from an SSH window The time is correct

Examples
ls -l   usage.html  feb 6 21:01
Windows Explorerusage.html  2003-02-06
23:01
Webmin Filemanager  usage.html  feb 6 23:01:47

The file is actually created around 21:00 so the time shoved in the SSH
terminal with the ls -l command is correct, but obviously not the others.

Anyone got a clue what's going on

I have seen similar things all within my Linux machine.
On mine, I suspected it was something to do with my system
running on GMT, but I have PST (Pacific) for my local time.
Read the man page on 'date' and was a little confused, so I
read more.  Realized there are a few different clocks/times out
there.  ie hardware clocks
With different offsets.
Became MORE confused.
And then toss in Day Light Savings time.
And __MORE__ confused.
I gave up.


Sorry, that wasn't very helpful.

RedHat 8.0 issues with Compaq Proliant 3000?

[Saqib . N . Ali]

Hi All.

I am having problems installing RedHat 8.0 on Compaq Proliant 3000 servers
dual CPU servers. Everytime I try to install the RedHat 8.0, the 2nd CPU
dies. I have tried this on 3 different server (all Proliant 3000) with the
same results. Now I have 3 Proliants with 2nd CPUs non-functional. The only
way to revive the CPU is to reset the BIOS, which also cause the array info
to be lost, and have to re-install the OS.

So it seems to me that RedHat 8.0 is modifying something in the BIOS that
it is not suppose to.

Has anyone else ran into this problem with the similar architecture or dual
CPU configurations?

Subject: RedHat 8.0 issues with Compaq Proliant 3000?

Hi All.

I am having problems installing RedHat 8.0 on Compaq Proliant 3000 servers
dual CPU servers. Everytime I try to install the RedHat 8.0, the 2nd CPU
dies. I have tried this on 3 different server (all Proliant 3000) with the
same results. Now I have 3 Proliants with 2nd CPUs non-functional. The only
way to revive the CPU is to reset the BIOS, which also cause the array info
to be lost, and have to re-install the OS.

So it seems to me that RedHat 8.0 is modifying something in the BIOS that
it is not suppose to.

Has anyone else ran into this problem with the similar architecture or dual
CPU configurations?

I had a similar problem until, after reading the man page for iwconfig,
I figured out that I must enter the key as:

s:WEPKEY

That is, put the s: on the front of the key.

OK, so it looks like you've got BOTH single-processor and SMP kernels.
Which one are you booted into?

[Saqib . N . Ali]

SMP doesn't work. Because, Redhat 8.0 disabled the 2nd CPU during install.
I can not enable the 2nd CPU until I reset the BIOS. When I reset the BIOS,
all the RAID info is also lost.
So the only option I have is to boot in single processor mode.

iptables blocking client NFS access

[Ronald W. Heiby]

Hello psyche-list,

I've got a couple of RH 8.0 systems on a network. On one of these,
I've set up a couple of entries in /etc/exports and set up NFS. On
this (server) machine, I have opened up the iptables firewall to allow
incoming tcp/udp ports 111 and 2049.

On another (client) system, I've also opened up the iptables firewall
to allow incoming tcp/udp ports 111 and 2049. On this client, I have
been able to NFS mount just fine, if I "/etc/init.d/iptables stop"
first. After a lot of trial and error, I determined that the iptables
line "at fault" is the one that blocks all incoming 0:1023 udp
traffic.

Now, I'm stuck. I'd like to leave that line in the firewall, but I
would also like this machine to be able to be an NFS client.

I have not yet tried any other client machines.

Below is my iptables file. Any ideas? Thanks!

Ron.

Yes that is correct.

The reason I say try the s: is that I have an Orinoco Silver card and
a RG-1000. The default WEP key for the RG-1000 is given to you looking
like a hex key, something like 34dfba. After much tearing my hair out
trying to make linux work with that as the hex key, I tried s:34dfba
and everything fired up.

Cheers.

gdm xterminal logins and utmp

[Norman Gaywood]

gdm does not update /var/run/utmp correctly when logging in via xdmcp.
The first user seems to be added correctly but all subsequent logins
replace the previous login. So 'who/w/finger' only ever shows one X
terminal style login even though there are many more.

wtmp seems to be correct. That is, last correctly shows that last and
current logins.

Web Based Newsreader

[Mike Vanecek]

I have Open WebMail installed as a web based email reader. I would like to
install something along the same lines to allow news group reading. I do not
want to run a nntp, just have web access to a reader so that header
information is maintained on a one machine. Hence, one could read news groups
from any machine using any browser and always have the group, group headers
counts, read/unread flags, and so on kept on a single machine. 

I searched Google, but did not find anything that seemed to meet my needs
since I am not looking for a local newsreader (pan, etc.), but rather a web
based reader. 

Anything anyone has used with RH 8?

Thanks.

disk partition

[Shane C Branch]

Are there any 'rules of thumb' to follow when partitioning a disk for linux? In
the past, I have always partitioned my disk by defining mount points for /,
/boot, /opt, /var /usr, /usr/local, /tmp and /home separately. I would define
swap space at 2x physical RAM. However, I always guessed at the sizes for each
partition, except for /home, for which I would set the 'grow to fill disk'
option.

I have just started playing with RH 8, so I'm looking for method to eliminate
the guesswork. Any suggestions are appreciated.

regards,

shane.

The rules of thumb are (or used to be) in the installation manual...
Obviously if you take all the defaults for partitioning during install,
you'll get Red Hat's "rules of thumb".

Ed,

However, Red Hat 7.2 had a funny way of doing it's partitioning. It made
/usr bigger than /home for some reason. I've always had to fix that
whenever I do a 7.2 install. It seems to have been fixed in 7.3 and 8.0
though.

Thanks.

I did read the manual on this, but I didn't find it particularly useful, except
for the recommended sizes for /, and /boot. I was already following the swap
suggestion. When I first started playing with linux I was told that setting
partitions manually was better than letting the installer do it, but I was
never clear on exactly why that was supposed to be true.



regards,

shane.

It really depends on what you're using your system for.  If it's largely
a mail and web server, you may want a very large /var.  If it has lots
of users doing development, a large /home may be in order.  If you've
got a small disk, you'll want to adjust things quite differently than if
you've got a large disk.

I don't like the Red Hat rule of thumb for memory - ie, 2xmemory size.
This kinds of puts you in a bind if you ever upgrade your memory later,
so just go with a GB to start and forget about it.  With disks so big
these days, the rules are changing.

You have to know whether the key is a string or hex

Strings must be preceded by a $

Hex keys are 13 digits long for 64 bit - 26 digits long for 128 bit - I
haven't a clue the length for 40 bit

I have that problem in spades, and although I am not ready to offer

Is there a way in metacity to have a window automatically placed on all

Advice needed re testing network state

[John Bell]

I am working on an application (written in python, but that hardly matters) 
several parts of which involves communications over the net via ppp on a 
standard modem connection.  The relevant areas of the application all include 
a server thread which distributes net based tasks to a collection of worker 
threads that process tasks from a job queue.  There is an inherent problem 
that the link may go down either due to ISP action or a failure of one form 
or another in the WAN.  Also there is the problem that the link may stay up 
but be inactive due to some failure in the WAN.  I want to detect and resolve 
such problems.  What I'd like to do is to have the server thread (which after 
setting up the job queue does little but wait for completion of the worker 
threads) periodically test the status of the connection and in the event of a 
problem re-establish the connection (which will generally involve being 
assigned a new IP) and signal the worker threads so that they can 
re-establish theiir TCP connection and continue or restart their active task 
as required.

Their are clearly many methods to determine the status of the network.  My 
current thinking is to parse /proc/net/route to ensure that ppp0 is still the 
default route and then send an ICMP echo request to each registered DNS 
server until either one replies or all time out.

I'm wondering if anyone has any comments on this approach or perhaps betetr 
ideas.

Hiya,

Here is the breakdown for the general usage of partitions:

Swap partition should be twice physical ram size. There used to be a
128MB limit, but that is gone now.

root or / partition holds all system files. RedHat 8, with the
everything option is 4.5 GB. My root is 8 GB since I am greedy.

/usr/local is where files installed by users will be placed. That should
go accordingly. For example I have Unreal Tournament installed, and that
took up 2.7GB of space in /usr/local/games. This partition should be one
of the biggest if that is what you do.

/boot holds the kernel and boot files. Mine is 250MB, but that is large.
For RH 8 you can get away with 75MB, but I prefer larger mysel;f as I
keep more kernels around.

/home is where your users personal files are stored. I have a 20GB home
partition, and I am the only one on the machine. That is overkill in my
case. If you download a lot of software though, which I do, then  it
should be sized accordingly. A developer for example would need a larger
/home partition due to all the files they will have. 

/var is traditionally more for logs and print spoolers, but RH has made
it the place for web server files and the ftp root.

Bottom line is it is all relative to what your purpose is. If the
machine is a web server or ftp server, with the default RH setup, then
/var would be another partition where you would want larger.

Hope I helped a little.

Re: Web Based Newsreader

[Brian Johnson]

I use phpgroupware (phpgroupware.org). It is a php web based groupware app.  The
apps are setup as modules so you can select which ones are shown for each individual
user

Anyway, it has a nntp reader ... you may also find the calendar, addressbook,
todo,notes, and email are to your liking (I don't use many of the other modules that
are available)

rhn availability

[Craig White]

Is it just me or is RHN for up2date extremely busy the last few days?

I know that a lot of errata has been released but it seems extra
ordinarily busy. This seems to happen when apache/php updates are
released.

There are three email modules you can choose from - I use the default one via IMAP
(have used it for over a year)

On my Redhat machine I had to be careful to include a novalidate tag to the server
address (seems it looks for SSL even when you don't tell it to) - I think that's a
RH issue, not phpgw
