Re: RE forward eth0 to ppp0
For that you need to setup NAT, masquerading. For this you need to setup
iptables. This is actually a good thing to do when you connect to the
internet, anyway. You cannot use ordinary routing because 10.2.0.0 will
never propagate over most Internet routers because that is in one of several
reserved address spaces for private networks.
You can learn about iptables at http://www.netfilter.org/ and you can lean
about masquerading at http://ipmasq.cjb.net/. The latter address has some
example iptables scripts that should get you going with minimal effort.

It is easy to get iptables scripts to adapt. I call mine from the
"ip-up.local" script in /etc/ppp. I picked up my basic script from the IP
Masquerade resource site, http://ipmasq.cjb.net/. I made some modifications
for specific needs here. But most people can use either of their scripts
pretty much right out of the box.

You're right. I was confused, I already set it up with RH72 (where the rp-pppoe was broken), and completely forgot how it worked. Yes, rp-pppoe uses ipchains. So, I did: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE iptables-save >/etc/sysconfig/iptables Though it was already posted before, but for sake of completeness, you need to enable ip forwarding in /etc/sysctl.conf: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 This should get you running.

Thanks for the replies...here is what I have. After installing RH8, I could not boot further than INIT: 2.84 booting... Someone suggested that I add the following line to the kernel line of grub.conf: apm=off_threshold=100 This worked great, however when I try and shutdown it seems to close most processes but it won't go further than: POWER DOWN Can anyone help?

bind: Setting up DNS on a small home network

Re: RE forward eth0 to ppp0
Ahh yes I know of that method was reading about it, tripy though with
dual nics and two nets you just need ip forwarding. KO Thanks for the
assurance, Ill give it a twirl and post it on the list / my website..

Have you read the manpage? Well, in short: sgi_fam is a file alteration monitor. It is used by applications like nautilus to check whether directories change or new email has arrived. So is is nothing nasty. Secondly if you look at xinetd configuration file covering sgi_fam (/etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam) you will see that it is bound to localhost only. It is not accessable from the outside. So no danger here. The messages are probably popping up, because you entered "ALL:ALL" in /etc/hosts.deny. You might want to allow access to this service, so add a "sgi_fam: 127.0.0.1" to your /etc/hosts.allow.

still installing 8.0 on HP Kayak
So, many interesting events have transpired since we last discussed this: 1. I'm trying to install RedHat 8.0 on an HP Kayak 2. Kayak's configuration 2 500mhz Pent. III's 3 SCSI hard drives (no RAID card) 512 meg of RAM 3. I've learned how to get the kernel to see both CPU's (thanks!) 4. I've tried an install of WinBlows 2000 Professional it found both CPU's and all three hard drives it (correctly) found no RAID controller 5. From 4, above, I've concluded that there are not hardware/BOIS problems 6. The Red Hat install only found one of the SCSI hard drives, even though it loaded the proper SCSI driver without displaying any error messages 7.After trying to get Red Hat 8.0 installed the system hangs with what I believe is a POST message: "error loading operating system" Any ideas?

Re: still installing 8.0 on HP Kayak
good suggestion, but when I did the trial install of WinBlows the drives worked fine. The could be formatted and were visible during and after the install. Doesn't this isolate the problem to Red Hat not being able to see the hard drives? Still, would kudzu see the other drives if I added them later?

It could be as simple as a boot loader record in the wrong place, or a bios setting, or it could be complicated and any number of other things. Getting the OS installed on the system with just one disk attached is a good way to isolate the problem. Still, would kudzu see the other drives if I added them later? If they're detected, you can see them with "fdisk -l". I (or someone else on the list) can help you partition the extra disks later on, if that's what is required.

Pushing updates ?
What is the best way to update many servers at customer sites? Let say for example that a new SSH package comes out. Since this is security related, we probably DO want to get this update on all of our servers in customer sites. Isn't there something better than telnet'ing into each server, FTP'ing (or other method) a RPM there and running RPM to update. There is rsync, but that end runs around the RPM package manager. Since these servers may not be identical clones, I think package management is recommended. Yes? Caldera gave us a sales presentation about a year ago and they had something (volution?) that did this, but their licensing costs were way high. They priced themselves out of the picture. Does RedHat or any third party have something to make remote system/package management easier for many (100+) systems?

A cheap choice would be to rsync/ftp/scp the package to the other end, and then rpm -Fvh the package. Next in line would be to configure each system with up2date. You can push the package out from the web, or you can have a local cron job do the dirty deed. > There is rsync, but that end runs around the RPM package manager. > Since these servers may not be identical clones, I think package > management is recommended. Yes? IMHO, package management is always recommended. rsync'ing the package and then using rpm would be much better. > Caldera gave us a sales presentation about a year ago and they had > something (volution?) that did this, but their licensing costs were > way high.

Use up2date in a cron job, it will resolve dependencies. This automates the process and saves you time and effort from you.

login-hang through mgetty (kernel serial driver bug?)
I have found a bug while using RedHat 8.0, I think it is in the kernel. The problem relates to the /dev/ttyS1 driver and behaves like a race condition because it does not give exactly predictable results. I have a workaround for the problem but have no idea about doing a real fix (and haven't bothered looking too seriously I'll admit).

OK, now to describe the problem. What I want to do is run mgetty on a serial port to a modem so that I can login to this machine over the phone. These are bog-standard serial ports and what I'm doing should just work by now, this is a really basic thing. What happens is that *SOMETIMES* it does work perfectly, about one in three or maybe slightly less often. I can't seem to see a pattern to when it works and when it doesn't but at any rate, the number of failures is significant. The failures have nothing to do with the modems failing to connect or bad phone lines of any of that because I always get a connect and I always get a login banner, this is never a problem. When it does fail, it will just hang after I type my user name. The mgetty process correctly invokes the /bin/login and I can see it in the ps list, after waiting for a while (maybe a minute, not a long while) the login process seems to swap out to disc and that's were it stays until killed. Once in this state, lsof can't detect that the /dev/ttyS0 is open (which is annoying).

It seems so wasteful (in several ways) to a fresh install of a system and then (manually or in a kickstart %post script) immediately do an rpm -U (or -F) over a big bunch of update packages. It would be _so_ cool to simply put (replace) the updates into (or alongside?) the installer's RedHat/RPMS/ directory, do a genhdlist and pkgorder (etc) over it all, then away you go. This issue really bit me (and others) hard with rh7.3 when I was happily going along rebuilding the installer itself... all was well and good -- until the kernel was updated to 2.4.18- and the installer failed to build. Ouch. However, resorting to using the last kernel that did work (2.4.9-x iirc) for the installer did solve the problem, with the only post-install task left being to update to the new kernel. Perhaps there could be some mechanism added to the installer mechanisms so that if an "updates" directory existed then it would use that as a preferential package source to use before installing the original packages. (After making the appropriate sanity checks of course). That way you could even remove the obsoleted packages from the source tree. There would be some obvious and not-so-obvious technical issues to sort out (eg, install rather than update a new kernel), and from a distant perspecive I don't see why it couldn't be possible (eg, after creating a hdlist for the updates or whatever). Package updates are a fact of life. While the installer is primarily designed to install a distribution as originally released, it would be so useful if over time it could seamlessly cope with all the updates released for it. That being said, I admit that I'm not so familiar with the innards of anaconda, so I'm not so sure just how practical a suggestion this really is...

Keyboard beeping problem (RH 8.0)
I'm running RH8.0 and have had a recurring problem with the keyboard. For some reason despite being able to login ok, when I log in as a certain user the keyboard bleeps whenever a key is pressed. I can type but I have no hold the key for almost a full two seconds for a letter to appear on the screen. I've had this problem before and it was solved somehow by logging out and then back in again. This hasn't solved the problem this time however. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Just build the installer using that kernel, then update the tree to the latest kernel, as well as everything else, do the genhdlist and pkgorder and the rest as normal. When you install, you'll get the latest kernel, not 2.4.18-10. ISO's done this way can be found at ftp://linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/disks/redhat/7.3/ although they're a bit stale now.

Minor bug (majorly annoying) in X11 and mouse
With a fresh install of RH8.0 set to graphical login (using PS/2 mouse) if you pull out the mouse and reboot what do you get? What would you expect to get? It can be really hard talking someone through a support call when their only report is "I'm looking at a black screen" and they try ALT-F1 from the console to still get a black screen, and they try CTRL-ALT-F1 from the console and STILL get a black screen. Even after several minutes the X11 keeps respawning and doesn't get disabled so you basically have absolutely no console access at this point. I would expect that it would either: [1] Start X11 anyhow and just not give you a mouse (so the user gets the idea, "hey my mouse is gone, maybe it isn't plugged it") [2] Disable X11 completely because it keeps crashing (the slowness of the X11 startup seems to protect it from init disable, maybe this depends on hardware). [3] Bring up X11, pop an error that gives the user something readable and hang there in space (at least allowing CTRL-ALT-F1 to get a text console plus the user knows what is wrong). - Tel -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

I hope he was not advised to plug the mouse in while the machine was on. It is seriously inadvisable to plug in PS/2 connectors (mouse and k/board) when a system is turned on already.

I get advisories that my profile shows I need to update something or other, but nothing ever happens consequent on that. I mean the little blue-tick stays blue, and running up2date. Produces nothing. Now the blue tick turned to a red shriek, and sure enough there was an update to Lynx .. but I received no email advisory about it ? Am I missing something here ? Or most probably misunderstanding something. I only have the demo registration that comes gratis, not because I think $60 is not wortwhile if the support is good, but I am evaluating Redhat at the moment...I run a small multi-platform network but am not very satisifed with my current Linux setup (no names mentioned). My evaluation is quite positive so-far .. btw. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
