Building your own up2date server...
by Keller, Tim Feb. 8, 2004

Feb. 8, 2004

I know that at one of the meetings, it was mentioned that WPI has their own up2date server. Could one of the WPI techs give a quick explanation on how they did this? As the number of linux boxes I manage grows, this is something I'd like to deploy into my infrastructure. Thanks, Tim.

Looking for linux work estimate
by Pete Wason Jan. 28, 2004

Jan. 28, 2004

Hiall! I have a Dell P4 server running RH8, Apache, Samba & sendmail (et al.), on a network with several other operating systems, and a broadband connection. Things I might require help with: 1. Samba config 2. Apache config 3. Disable sendmail, inst/conf tcpserver and qmail 4. Some general Linux admin questions 5. Some special-project-related things 6. Possibly ditching RH8 and moving to YD or Debian If there's anyone who would be interested in helping me out a little, enough to at least identify the main problems, I'd appreciate it greatly. I'll supply the beer/pizza. Pete Wason rogue(a)hynoom.com IM:Codevark

Anti spam filters now active on wlug list
by Frank Sweetser Jan. 27, 2004

Jan. 27, 2004

While at first glance it may appear that the WLUG list never contains any spam, this due to the fact that the list is closed - any emails coming from an address that is not subscribed to the list are held for approval by a moderator, ie, me. In reality, the WLUG list does get a fair amount of spam, sometimes ten or twenty on a bad day. In an effort to not have to deal with this manually, the WLUG list will now use the X-Perlmx-Spam header that is added by the WPI spam filter. Hopefully this will mean that the only messages I have to worry about manually approving are legitimate emails from people who for whateve reason aren't subscribed properly. If anyone thinks that they're losing email sent to the list, please email me directly and I'll take a look. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu WPI Network Engineer

Recommened QUIET cdrw/dvd drives?
by John Stoffel Jan. 21, 2004

Jan. 21, 2004

Hi all, Does anyone has a recommendatio on a nice quiet CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive? I see that newegg.com has a Lite-On and a Sony for sale today, both under $50 which seems like a steal. Sounds like a good thing since my SCSI CDRW drive is finally biting the bullet and acting flaky. One requirement is that the drive is quiet. I hate those CDROM drives which sound like jet engines on startup and then just click and whir and sound really loud all the time when running. I especially hate it when they spin up and down constantly. I'd rather have it just spin all the time if possible, or at least not spin down quite so quickly. The two I'm looking at are: Lite On 48x24x48x16 Combo Drive, Model LTC48161H, Retail Sony 48x24x48x16 Combo Drive, Model CRX300E/A, OEM I'm leaning towards the Lite-On one, since it comes with Burner software which my Wife can use (I plan on getting two of these BTW) while I'm happy with Linux in the basement. :] John

I actually have bought two of those (the Lite-On) and no complaints here. Comes with Nero and PowerDVD. -----Original Message----- From: John Stoffel [mailto:stoffel@lucent.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 12:50 PM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] Recommened QUIET cdrw/dvd drives?

mkinitrd
by Bill Mills-Curran Jan. 18, 2004

Jan. 18, 2004

I'm using mkinitrd on a multi-processor system. I have both the single and multi-processor kernels loaded, but I rarely run the single-processor kernel. It's there mostly as a safety net. Question: Do I need to boot to the single-processor kernel in order to make a valid initrd image for a single-processor boot? I would hope that I can, but the man page is not specific about it. (I want to avoid the extra boot cycles.) TIA, Bill

Sound card troubleshooting
by Michael Long Jan. 18, 2004

Jan. 18, 2004

Hi, I have been running Suse 8.2 and Sound Blaster sblive! EMU10k1 with no trouble until the last online update from suse. Now I get the message "Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it." And yet when using suse's configuration tool, YAST, the card appears to be configured correctly. The only weird thing I can find is that when I go to the hardware info page I see the following 2 entries: Unique key:_+Pw.mTanvDDnb_0 old_unique_key: airf.mTanvDDnb_0 Where should I start looking to figure out what got broken. Thanks, Mike
