junkbuster vs. privoxy
I have been using junkbuster for a few years, and notice privoxy is installed by default in RedHat 8.0. From reading the privoxy man page(s), I see that it is based on junkbuster. Is there a reason I would want to start using this instead of junkbuster? Dan Liston
LogWatch 2.6
After upgrading from Redhat 7.3 to 8.0, my LogWatch report nearly evaporated. I used to get nightly reports over 30K in length, but now they are barely 1K, inlcuding message headers. I did not see anything about this in the upgrade comments. Even though the config file is set to ALL logging, I am not getting security, ssh, messages, named, or sendmail reports. These all appear to be part of the ALL in the config file. Have I missed something? Dan Liston
privoxy
I think I have an answer to my own question by going to the privoxy.org page and reading the FAQ. It would appear that privoxy IS junkbuster under a new name. Am I reading this correctly? Dan Liston
Re: LogWatch 2.6
Sort of answering my own question (thanks to a hint here), but if you stay on version 2.6, you need to edit lines 474 and 527, changing the "reverse" to "sort". If you have done any modifications already and the line numbers don't match, it is the only two places in the file where the work "reverse" appears. It should be fixed in LogWatch 4.0, but the root cause is in perl 5.8, if I read bugzilla correctly. Many thanks to Manfred H for doing the bugzilla legwork on this one. <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75086> And for sending me the link.

I would love to know what I need to do to get SSH connections in the logwatch email again.

Re: Multimedia: mpeg and wav files
In the bottom right corner of the www.redhat.com pages there is a "red hat speaks" article on "8.0 and Multimedia" link to http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_80mm.html which explains it fairly well. Seems to me someone is afraid of lawyers for the moment. Dan John Horne wrote: On Mon, 2002-10-21 at 17:44, John Weber wrote: xanim man page claims it supports quicktime. Correct it does, and it played the mpeg/quicktime file too :-) I had to get xanim from rpmfind though, and it's a redhat 7 (or was it 6.2!) version. I know xanim isn't on the redhat 8.0 cd's, so for some reason they haven't included it. John.
Re: rpm storage location while up2date downloading
You can find "in progress" downloads for rhn in the /tmp file system. Just "ls -ltr /tmp" a couple times, and you will see a weird named *.tar file growing during download. Dan Liston Oisin C.

Out of curiosity, do you have up2date configured to save the RPMs on disk after they are installed? Yes, here's part of the output of "up2date-nox --configure" 7. storageDir /var/spool/up2date 24. keepAfterInstall Yes and after an rpm shows 100% downloaded in its progress bar then it's stored in /var/spool/up2date as specified, but _during_ the download I can't find out where the file is stored. I've started to take up Paul Gear's suggestion of using strace, but I can't make head or tail of it so far. I can only assume that he's correct and that the file is held in memory as it's downloaded.

Re: Samba server and Win98 connection problem
You might want to consider switching the localhost.localdomain and localhost around on the 127 line of your /etc/hosts file. /etc/hosts should define the 127.0.0.1 address with the short name of localhost first, and all other aliases to it after. Any other IP should be listed with its FULL internet name, then any aliases or short names after. If you do not have a FULL name on the IP line first, sendmail can take a very long time to start. You may have to do a lot of tweaking to get sendmail running without complaining. Considering you are not running DNS on your linux or windows machines, you should also populate the "hosts" file on the windows machine to match the "hosts" file on you linux box. In windows 98, you will need to copy the HOSTS.SAM file to hosts and then edit hosts. Stephen Liu wrote: Hi Gregory, Lot of thanks for your advice.

Re: RH 8.0 installation hangs
I had the same problem with my upgrade on several machines. I even went back and re-burned the CDs at a lower speed thinking I might have a media or drive compatibility issue. The only machine I could install "from CD" on, was the one I used to burn the CDs. To work around the problem, I ended up making a boot floppy, and when asked for the location of media, answered hda and the partition that held the iso images. Odd, because I could read the CDs from all the machines I upgraded. Rather than networking the iso images, I made new images on each machine from the same CDs that the installer could not read. Dan Liston Sachchi wrote: Hi, I was planning to upgrade RH 7.3 to RH 8.0 and so I downloaded the iso images and burnt on the CD.

Thanks Toby, but the setting I am looking for is nearly the reverse of your solution. I need the domainname command to return "" instead of "(none)". I found in the rc.sysinit where hostname is tested for "(none)" and if true sets the hostname to localhost. I did not realize hostname had also acquired this deficiency. What I had to do was add a command to rc.sysinit forcing `domainname ""`. This provides me with a solution, but not an answer. I do appreciate that you took the time to answer though.
