The system I've got has rh7.3 installed, and with the rpms currently in rawhide for that system (XFree86-4.2.0-8) I've got no support for the 82845G. The rpms for rh8.0 are a higher patchlevel (XFree86-4.2.0-72), though, so they might have included support by now.

One thing I noticed is that it appears > to change the server from time.nist.gov to my own IP when I reboot. Not > sure why it is doing that. One thing to check is how far off your system time pre-sync is from the current real time. If it's more than a couple of hours ntpd will assume something has gone wrong with the network time and refuse to sync your system, exiting instead. To set your hardware clock after you've synchronized on network time do: /sbin/hwclock --systohc Also note that the ntp people prefer you to use a stratum-2 or stratum-3 server, not a stratum-1 server like time.nist.gov. The load on stratum-1 is already extraordinarily high keeping the other strata in sync, so the added load of workstations that could use a lower stratum should be avoided. Pick 5 - 10 servers from this list: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.html and put them in your ntp.conf file. Ntpd will handle finding the best timesource to synchronize against, and you'll minimize the load on the core of the NTP network. -- Michael D.

The more you have the better approximation of UTC you'll get. Only having 3 servers can lead to the following situation: One server goes unavailable due to network problems at their site. One of the remaining servers in your list has a problem that skews it 30 minutes away from UTC but doesn't impact its network performance, while the other remains relatively true. Your machine will average the two, and give you a 15-minute offset time. If you'd had another two servers with good times in your list, ntpd would have ignored the time from the 30 minute skew. > The fewer the systems you can synchronize to, the better, unless you > have a very good reason for being paranoid (at work, we've also bought > our own stratum 1 time server). We synchronize one local timeserver against a broad list, and all local machines sync against that one. Many timeservers is good not only for paranoia, but also gives a more robust and accurate local approximation of UTC. If you can't get the boss to spring for a stratum 1 server, 10 stratum-2 servers' opinions is the next best thing :) -- Michael D.

If you are running stock RH, what answer did you give to the firewall question? RH defaults the firewall to be on and blocks just about everything. Are you running IPtables or some such? My system works fine. The down side of the Linksys router is that you can only forward a port to one IP at a time.

iptables netmask
I am configuring RH 8 iptables. I have read several sources, but am still unclear on the impact of a netmask on the source/destination definitions. For example, -s 65.50.0.0/11 would have a hit on what range of incoming packets? If I understand it correctly, which I really do not, the 11 means to mask 11 bits of the ip address. Hence, 11 => 255.224.0.0 ?? (.111...) But, how does this translate into the range of ip addresses for which the -s is valid? Will ip address 64.255.0.0 trigger a hit? Will ip address 65.55.1.1 trigger a hit? How do I test the incoming source address against the above rule and determine when a match will occur?

logrotate lastlog
The /var/log/lastlog file on my RH 8 install seems to be growing without

anything for rotating lastlog.
Should RH8 have a lastlog rotate somewhere?
E.g., logrotate.conf has
# no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}

RE: Tripwire
Thanks for the update. I had discovered the same thing. Chris posted an older
version and also had a correction. Your change is rather nice in that it only
goes through the twpol.txt file once. Neat.

Tripwire is no more difficult to setup and configure after initial install or a year later. It simply establishes a base line database and then checks for changes from that point on. As you say, if the system is clean when the base line database is created then all is fine. Maybe he should run chkrootkit 3.8 to check things. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

Re: vsftpd connects then sleeps
Hate to answer my own, but I resolved the issue. First, I configured vsftpd as a standalone. The minute I did that everything took off.

Web Based Newsreader
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?

Color Control in RH8
RH 8.0 w/Bluecurve theme. I user gnome-terminal (with black on white using xterm colors) to ssh into a RH 7.1 system. The background color of the ssh session is white. I then run slrn. The background color definitions for the slrn session are set as white (not using the default). However, everywhere that should be showing as white is showing as lightgrey on gnome-terminal. Someone on the group tested the color definitions using xterm (do not know what setup) and the white shows as white. The lightgrey is pretty much the same grey that sometimes looks like the default color in bluecurve. Where in all these connections can I look to force white to show as white for the slrn session?

My compnay bought several to use as production servers. Several had some intermittant problems and two just would not boot after the image was copied on them. We discovered the for any given model, so two are alike until they are on the same production run and even then there is a good chance the innards will be different. Seems that when Dell runs out of parts, rather than get the same, they just get an "equivalent". They means, if you have a large number of servers, that your development and testbed boxes may be totally different from production. Makes things VERY hard to debug when you server goes south. Now we buy HP (Compaq under the HP name) and we know that all will be the same for the same model. THis may not be an issue if you only need 1-2 servers.

Recent Kernel problems
I have an AMD Duron, 800MHz clone box running RH 8 with all the errata except for one. I cannot load the most recent kernel upgrades since 2.4.18-19.8.0. There have been two kernel releases since that version and I have the same problem with both. When loading the system, when /proc is mounted an error occurs and triggers entry into manual mode to run fsck. None of the previous kernel do this and I have not had any power loses that would force an fsck on rebooting. I removed the previous version of the kernel when this occured and now it also does it for 2.4.18-26.8.0. After the previous kernel failed, this same system will now not reboot. I always have to power off or hit the reset button. I cannot find any reason for this. I've reloaded the BIOS and reloaded grub without change. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Any way to fix? I've not had any problems outside of this. When I first built this box, I loaded the entire set software from a boxed set.

I am listing to Yanni on Gnome with RH 8 with the default Volume Control and whatever CD player comes with Gnome just fine.

I have had that happen on a different package myself. No matter what I did, the rpm would hang (IIRC it was plugger). The approach I took, after cleaning up things, was first to determine if any dependencies existed. You might try rpm -ivh --test package; I do not remember if that will run or it hangs also. You can use the --requires to see if dependencies exist. The package I was installing had none. I then tried rpm -ivh --nodeps package and it installed. Please keep in mind that using nodeps can be dangerous if dependencies do exist. Also, I was experimenting trying to find anything that would work on a non-production machine. FWIW -- YMMV. If you find a different solution, please post it back here. Mike. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

Screen goes blank?
RH 8.0 w/all updates. I have had 2 or 3 instances here lately (do not remember when it first happened) in which the screen went black with a single green line on the left side of the screen. They happen while I have left the session and monitor running running for a while with no activity. I would think screensaver, except that the system failure does not always occur and I have returned with a screensaver image on the screen. If I were to guess, it started after installing the last couple of kernel updates. When it happened today I had Mozilla 1.3a open, a Gnome-terminal session open with 3 tabs (one of which was logged onto to root and one of which was doing a ssh session to a RH 7.1 system). I left the terminal for about 30-45 minutes and when I returned, the system was blank. I did a Ctrl-Alt-F1 thru F7 with no change and a Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Evidently something trigger a system reboot.
