Re: Redhat's Bind config tool

2003-01-20 Thread Scot L. Harris
Based on that information in your email, it looks like the tool you are
using left out the origin statement.  This would have the affect of
allowing you to use the www name and bind would have appended the domain
automatically in response to a query.

Re: Linksys KVM switch

2003-06-11 Thread Scot L. Harris
I have had the same problem with an 8 port Belkin KVM, my main Linux
system is running Redhat 8.  This problem has resulted in the panel
getting moved to the side which caused it to crash.  (lots of fun fixing
that the first time.) What's funny is the 4 port unit I have works
reliably.  I have not been able to determine if this is a problem with
the Belkin unit or if it is an issue with the different systems
attached, screen resolution being the one I thought might be an issue
since that is the only thing I can think of as being different between
the systems attached.  During the initial startup everything works
fine.  But after switching to a different system and then back it has
problems. The other item I am not sure about is the use of the wheeled
mouse with the Belkin unit.

I have been doing some searching for another KVM setup.  I want the
ability to switch between at least 7 systems and will need to have
extension cables for the monitor, mouse, and keyboard.  Has anyone
utilized a KVM that works reliably?

Re: retrieving isp email to internal server

2003-07-06 Thread Scot L. Harris
Believe you want to get fetchmail setup.  I have not done this yet but I
believe fetchmail will let you collect email from one system and store
it on your machine.  The users would then connect to your system with
POP3 (or something similar) to pull their email.

Re: No sound in RH 8.0.

2003-07-16 Thread Scot L. Harris
I have the same issue with my RH8 box.  After investigating it I found
that the particular sound chips on the mother board are not supported by
RH.  You may have the same issue.  If so you should check out the ALSA
project.  That appears to have support for the chip set on my mother
board but I have not taken time to install and test it.  (I don't have
any compelling  reason to get sound working on that box.)

Re: Configure RH 8.0 as server without console

2003-07-20 Thread Scot L. Harris
Just did this on two of the systems I have.  There was an option in the
bios (hit delete key during boot up for my systems, yours may be some
other key) for stop on error.  They were set to stop on all  errors. 
There was an option for that setting to ignore the keyboard.  Set that
and the system booted as expected without the keyboard or monitor.

Re: Kernel Freeze RH8.0

2003-09-23 Thread Scot L. Harris
I had a similar problem.  System would run for some number of hours and 
then hang.  

I believed this to be a heat problem with the motherboard.  Replaced the
heat sink and the case (4 fans).  I also had been running the xmatrix
screen saver which I disabled.  So far things have continued to run.

Not sure if the screen saver had anything to do with it.  Plan to
re-enable that in a few days.

vrml plugin recommendation for mozilla?

2003-01-05 Thread Scot L. Harris
After spending multiple hours searching for a vrml plugin for mozilla
all I have accomplished is upgrading mozilla and installing the openvrml
package.  Unfortunately it appears that this is only a set of libraries
for vrml and does not include the hoped for plugin for a Redhat 8.0
system running mozilla.Documentation for this package was sparse.

Trying to get this installed since nagios appears to utilize an x-vrml
display for the 3D status maps.  Did come across several plugins for
windos boxes but the results were less than pleasing.

Did a search through past messages I have collected from the list but
did not see any mention of vrml.

Does anyone have some pointers to a mozilla plugin for vrml?  Any
assistance would be appreciated.
