A purchased copy of Red Hat Linux, whether Personal or Professional, comes with what is called "Basic" service, which is more than the free "Demo" service for subscriptionless users, but only limited to a period of 30 or 60 days, respectively.

You need reading glasses? :-) If you check carefully, the devices specified there point to *exactly* the same place, oops. (but what's this egexp? never seen that before). Make sure that you have the ide-scsi module loaded (you should have already) and verify that both your cdroms are now doing this: /dev/hdc is accessed via /dev/scd0 and /dev/hdc is accessed via /dev/scd1 For example, "eject scd0" should eject your burner's tray, and "eject scd1" opens your reader's tray. (btw, "eject -t" to close them again). If that isn't happening, then you have more serious device configuration problems to worry about. > Tnx > > Antonio Montagnani Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

Besides, that's *exactly* what it is designed for. Because it doesn't make any sense at all. I don't know whether you are familiar with Tripwire. But there is absolutely no need to rotate any reports. They have a timestamp hardcoded into the file name, and hence all reports have a different file name already. Based on time of last modification or last access it is a trivial task to expire report files once they become old. Actually, it would be a one-line "find"-command executed as a cron job. Therefore, "man find" is the proper pointer, IMHO. - -- -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+RPgv0iMVcrivHFQRAj34AJsGj3wAO8vvsYyRGMj0VWQ5aiHZwQCffwpg Xf+XEkM+twjwcViAM6q/T80= =RD6T -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

kudzu + printer question.
I am a little confused. I am not aware that before RH 8.0 that kudzu detected whether or not the local printer is on and interprets the fact that the printer is off as meaning that the printer hardware is no longer present. Then kudzu offers to unconfigure the printer. It will also afterward offer to configure the printer. On my RH 8.0 system I can boot the machine with the printer off and no kudzu message appears. A colleague has the experience that kudzu does offer to unconfigure the printer. On what does this different behavior depend? Is it the type of printer or a difference in the kudzu configuration? -- --- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

GRUB and 3Ware
I installed RH8.0 on a system using a 3Ware 7500-8 card. The install went well except for the bootloader. I choose GRUB like I have for other systems. This is the first time I chose GRUB on a 3Ware system. When I reboot, the system just hangs. I can boot from the boot floppy that I created without any problem. I can also boot from a GRUB floppy that I created with grub-install /dev/fd0. When I try to install GRUB to the Master boot sector of the hard drive array with grub-install /dev/sda, I get an error: Error 24: Attempt to access block outside partition Now if I install the OS and choose LILO as the boot loader, it boots from the hard disk array without any problem at all. I find this most curious as GRUB is supposed to be more flexible as well as less prone to issues that LILO suffers from.

It is a "virtual window" into the inner workings of the running kernel. Very cool. And don't run fsck on your swap partition either, that's not needed. Perhaps the best way to check the integrity of swap partitions is to go into single user mode, turn off swap (to make sure it isn't being used), then try making an ext2 or ext3 parition on it with verbose bad-block checking. _Then_ check it with fsck. (Don't mount it). Finally, run "mkswap" on that parition and "swapon" to enable it again. (Note that swap partitions don't normally need formatting like that, it is enough to set the partition type to "linux swap" with fdisk and then enable it with mkswap). > I rebooted using the previous kernel and all was OK.

I'm really _not_ suprised :) I went through the setup window and: Drive typeDevice name Scsi ID Mountpoint CD-Writer /dev/scd0 0,0,0 egexp CR reader /dev/scd00,0 /mnt/cdrom Where is the problem??? You need reading glasses? :-) If you check carefully, the devices specified there point to *exactly* the same place, oops. (but what's this egexp? never seen that before). Make sure that you have the ide-scsi module loaded (you should have already) and verify that both your cdroms are now doing this: /dev/hdc is accessed via /dev/scd0 and /dev/hdc is accessed via /dev/scd1 For example, "eject scd0" should eject your burner's tray, and "eject scd1" opens your reader's tray. (btw, "eject -t" to close them again). If that isn't happening, then you have more serious device configuration problems to worry about. Tnx Antonio Montagnani Cheers Tony Tnx for help: but at the moment I hope not to have reading glasses ;-) I was not clear at all.The data are a lit bit misleading 1) I have no problem in burning data CD also from CD 2)I have no ide-scsi support for CD reader (hdd) (is it correct??); yes for burner (hdc) 3) when I open the CDRom and recorder setup I see only the burner 4) I added the CR reader and I accepted the data in window (but is it a nonsense if I do not have ide-scsi support for it??): here come the data of my previous message. 5) when I introduce a music CD in reader no tracklist is found I can play music CD on CD reader The main question is: shall I have to introduce ide-scsi support also for CD reader??

cdrecord remote burning?
I'm having difficulty w/ cdrecord's supposed remote burning capability. I've got the r* stuff figured out, so that it lets me login, but cdrecord fails to load a scsi driver... ? Here is the output: [root@localhost root]# cdrecord -checkdrive dev=REMOTE:192.168.0.3:0,0,0 Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling scsidev: 'REMOTE:192.168.0.3:0,0,0' devname: 'REMOTE:192.168.0.3:0,0,0' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Warning: Using remote SCSI interface. cdrecord: Input/output error. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. I've even tried it from the host that has the burner, just looping back to itself, but no joy. Interestingly enough, /var/log/messages shows this: Feb 8 22:34:21 yoda rsh(pam_unix)[12477]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Feb 8 22:34:21 yoda in.rshd[12477]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] as root: cmd='/opt/schily/sbin/rscsi' Yet "/opt/schily/" is non-existant on both machines.
