strange filenames
by Brad Noyes
Hi All
For some reason i sometimes find files with strange names like '??'. When i do
a long listing the file name changes to some other bizare character
combination. When i try to delete the file using 'rm', or cat it, i can't seem to
pass the correct filename to rm (i do try to escape characters, and use 'TAB' but no luck). Is there a way to pass an inode number to rm or cat?
thanks,
--brad

RE: [Wlug] weird ethernet problem...

Well I'm running rh7.3 and I've got another box with this same card running
7.3 as well on the same network without a problem??
Weirdness.

Ahh. So it looks like it was a crappy card/driver problem after all.
I did see somewhere else that you might want to download the driver
from Intel and try that instead...of course I think that was the e100
they were referring to in that message :-/

I just changed the format of the netstat so it would be more readable.
also, I found a message that accurately describes the problem...

I also looked at the next message and I'm already running the eepro100
driver.

That's a strange netstat. I've never seen output formatted like that
before. tx-ovr (overruns) is the statistic to watch out for.
What does lspci -v -v say about your ethernet card? Any other relavent
dmesg output?

Is the port the card is plugged into also running at full duplex? If
autonegotiation is disabled on only one end of the link, you will have a
duplex mismatch since the other end will fall back to half duplex.
Always use autonegotiation on both ends, or on neither end.
Any other errors? What does netstat -i show?

Try running tcpdump or ethereal on the link. I usually use tcpdump to
write to a file, then copy it to my workstation and load it into ethereal
there:
server# tcpdump -i eth0 -s 1500 -w capture.pcap
(the -s 1500 makes sure it captures the whole ethernet frames)
I usually see these errors due to one of three reasons:
1. the netcard and/or driver is misconfigured (duplex, interrupt, etc.)
2. the netcard and/or driver is buggy or bad (usually seen on 3c503's :)
3. there is a TON of traffic on the network which is causing the card
to not be able to keep up with the reception and transmission of all
the packets.

weird ethernet problem...
by Keller, Tim
I just moved a box from a testing network to a DMZ network and I'm getting
all this weird ethernet crap...
here's the error's I keep getting
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out status 7088 0c00 at 241/301
command 001c000
the commands are different along with the status codes.
the box has a Intel 10/100 Pro card running at 100 full duplex.
I hooked up a win2k laptop configured it to the proper ip in the DMZ and it
worked fine, so I know it's not the link.
Thanks,
Tim.

USB Driver: Where to start?
by Bill Smith
Folks,
I've got this idiot little USB camera that I got as part of a promotion.
(Specifically, it's a QuickVideo weeCam USB from Alaris that I got a
couple years back from Earthlink.)
Near as I can figure, there are no drivers for this fool thing for
Linux.
IF I were to attack the problem, where should I start? I've noticed in
the logs that the system sees it when it is connected and disconnected,
so I suppose that's a Good Thing, but I don't know where to go from
there.
Bear in mind that I've never had to write anything like this before, so
I'll be starting with a clean slate, as it were... 8\
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Sendmail
by Joe Riopel
I have sendmail set up here at work, and everyone can send email fine,
except when I try to send using the good old mail command.. it tells me
"Can't create transcript file ./xfg4OGa2S21960: Permission denied
queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tfg4OGa2S21960, uid=500: Permission
denied" I have tried doing chmod 777 on the "/var/spool/mqueue" and it still
fails. However when I use pine and set my smtp server to box.domain.com (
the localhosts name ) I am able to send fine. This problem is preventing a
webmail client I wrote from sending mail... Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe
