Made sense to me then, like a fool, I tried running updatedb as root and then, in belt-and-suspenders mode, I tried updatedb --localuser=root but still got only the boot.local in /etc/init.d :-( I guess this is why you let sleeping dougs lie doug

Gregory Avedissian wrote re SuSE's boot.local > Any idea why the same file also exists in /etc/rc.d/ > along with boot.setup and some others? Direct answer, no :-( I did a locate boot.local and got back only /etc/init.d/boot.local (I tried this on five machines here running SusE 7.2 and they all showed just one copy) However, just to be sure, I went to /etc/rc.d and a ls -al gave me that boot.local you describe! So now, I am at a loss as to why locate could not find it :-( but, anyway ... I then poked around in the boot scripts (cf "SuSE Boot Concept" in the manual p 309 ff, or just man init.d ) and took a look at /etc/rc.d/boot --- the file init runs at the beginning. In there you can search for "local" (i.e. less /etc/rc.d/boot and then enter /local <return> followed by three N's each to move on to the Next place there is a "local" ) and see that init, the program that counts here, looks for and at /etc/init.d/boot.local. So this indicates it is the boot.local in /etc/rc.d which is the odd one. There also does not seem to be a symbolic link between them. With SuSE I am always suspicious of what SuSEconfig and /etc/rc.config are doing so I wondered whether SuSEconfig was looking at both boot.local files. But it seems to look at neither; in particular, it does not use one to update the other. I poked around on the web and, at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Wacom-USB-mini-HOWTO-4.html found "Next I added in the /etc/rc.d/boot.local file (remember, I use a SuSE distribution, but you should fine an equivalent for RedHat in /etc/rc.d/init.d/boot.local or /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.local)" This makes me think the /etc/rc.d location is atavistic, harking back to earlier versions of SuSE. I looked in my old 5.2 manual and could not see a clear proof of this but I do note that with the 7.2 SuSE version they seem to have tried to stick more closely to standards (page 287) so that old /etc/rc.d resting place may be in for some backwards compatibility with user's old scripts. My only problem with that theory is that I cannot find where the /etc/rc.d/boot.local file would get read in 7.2 The bottom line is clear --- use /etc/init.d/boot.local if you want to add a special modprobe or the like in recent SuSE distros. But, I'll still keep my eyes open for confirmation of the above or an alternative view. doug

Here here! I used to just bounce HTML-only messages with a "polite" note explaining that the sender's mail program was misconfigured, and I left the text/html alternate mails (the "proper" way to send HTML email) alone. Then I found a script from Randal Schwartz which filters the alternate mails and strips out the HTML section. So I still can read the message, but my system doesn't have to bother storing that HTML section that I won't be using. I then changed my bounce procmail recipe to use a new script I wrote (based on Randal's code) that replaces the HTML-only email contents with a text-ified version spit out of lynx.

linux handheld question

Hi all, Recently I've been thinking of picking up a linux-based handheld and I've always been interested in the agenda vr3. It seems that their phone numbers have been disconnected, but the web site still works, as does their e-mail server. Are they out of business? Did they just forget about their web site? Anyway, I've been thinking of saving up some cash and snagging one of the vr3's that show up on ebay constantly (just as a toy to have around). Has anyone used one? What do you think? Should I just save up a lot of cash and get a zarus? And can I run a palm emulator on zarus? Thanks. Wes

Downloads...

by Stephen C. Daukas

While I think having an ISO image for download would be a good idea, a general download area where folks can post items of interest, say from one of the WLUGs, might be a better idea. That way, if someone has items that have been discussed in either a meeting or on the mailing list, then they can put it somewhere for others to grab. Of course, there is the perennial problem of making sure this isn't used for illicit materials and/or that the site isn't swamped, but there are many ways to manage that. Most companies have an area for this sort of thing and I'll bet we could come up with a solution as well. Too bad I can't make the next meeting, but I'll bet a good discussion over pizza and beer might yield some good ideas! Regards, Steve P.S. I'm just in the process of building a new RH server machine for myself and my domains. I plan on having such a download area and would be interested in being educated as to the pros and cons of that sort of service. I had thought about putting Linux stuff in there, so maybe there is a potential fit with WLUG?

Time permitting, I'll quickly go over some other development environments such as Kdeveloper and glade. Also at this meeting, I'll give a quick financial report and we'll talk about the results of the install fest from this past weekend. There will be a couple of items available for raffle. Refreshments will be available. After the meeting, we'll go to the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beer. This has become quite a tradition after WLUG meetings and is a great time.

4th annual Installfest a complete success!

by Keller, Tim

Hey All, The installfest was a complete success! Statistics: Total Installs: 8 Percentage successful: 100% Installs that were a no-show: ~2 (both Stratus employees, I'll be hunting them down later today...) Pizzas Ordered: 6 Percentage devoured: 100% Number of junker pc's that one installee cannibalized to make one working machine: 3 Raffle Info: Congratulations to Colin Novick and Bill Mills-Curran who both won copies of "Linux System Administration: A Users Guide." The Installers: Andy Stewart Al Butler Brian Waite Chuck Anderson David Lugwig Mani Sundaram Marc Hughes (If I've forgotten anybody, just send an addendum...) Other Stuff: Someone asked about the goodies CD's... There are a couple of things. 1. If Chuck has the space, I'd gladly upload it and he can mount it on a loopback. 2. I will cut a couple more copies (I might add some more stuff) and bring them to the meeting on Thursday. If you specify want a copy, drop me a line and I'll make you up one explicitly. This year was a resounding success and I'm hoping that the 5th annual will be even better! Later! Tim.

samba & window share names

by Dennis Payne

Is there some easy way to resolve names to their windows share. I got annoyed at typing in ip addresses and wrote a quick script to use nmblookup to get the ip address and shove it into the /etc/hosts file. Unfortunately you have to code what hosts it enters. I'd rather have it automatically do it for all machines. (Note: this script isn't quite correct. It doesn't handle some error conditions right and wipes out the /etc/hosts file. If there is interest in the fixed version let me know and I'll get it.) Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com #!/bin/bash function nmbreplacename { answer=`nmblookup $1 | grep -v querying | sed -e 's/.[0-9][0-9].$//g'` if [ `echo $answer | cut -d' ' -f1` = 'name_query' ]; then echo $1 not found else #sedexec='s/^.*zeteta.*$/'$answer'/g' #echo $sedexec if [ -z "`egrep "^.*$1.*$" /etc/hosts`" ]; then echo $answer >>/etc/hosts else sed -e "s/^.*$1.*$/$answer/g" </etc/hosts >/etc/hosts.new mv /etc/hosts.new /etc/hosts fi fi return 0; } nmbreplacename foo nmbreplacename bar

PocketPC and Linux

by Wesley Allen

Hi all, I've got the 3800 iPAQ and installing linux on it is still pretty much "you will break your handheld". I've also got some windows software that keeps me locked in for now until companies release linux binaries or I can figure out how to run a palm emulator on my iPAQ when I get linux on it. Until that time, has ANYONE figured out how to hack activesync connectivity with Linux? It really ticks me off that M$ got rid of the ability to do a direct cable connection in PocketPC, while my hardware sweet and I love the responsiveness of my iPAQ, I almost wish I had gotten a palm or a clie. Any Ideas? Wes

The latest Jpilot and my IIIx are working pretty well, it actually hot syncs stuff nicely, and let's me edit my address book more easily as well... That's just my recent experience with RH 7.2 + updates system. John

PDA's and Linux

by Simoncini, Matthew

Hello all, I'm in the market for a decent PDA (Palm III died) and was wondering what everyone's experience has been with PDA's and synching with a Linux machine. I run Red Hat 7.1, not sure what kernel, but wanted to make sure the PDA and associated desktop software I bought would run under Linux. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

How about xscreensaver + all the plugins. cdparanoia + lame is a must (forget if that was metnioned or not). For coolnes i'm a big fan of Xplanet for my wallpaper. Maybe Blender for those 3d Artists, although i doubt many people woudl use it. I hear curl is pretty cool. A whole art section would actually be nice. The GIMP/Blender/xv. While these come with most distros, it's nice to just have a central place for them. A X11 true type fontserver + fonts would be nice. HOWTO's upto ying-yang too. Just a list off the top of my head.

> You can add sound apps... ALSA O.S.S. The Alsa and OSS plugins for XMMS.. Not to be discouraging, but don't most distros include most of the stuff that's been mentioned? I know Mandrake includes Mozilla (probably out of date by now), XMMS, ogg-vorbis tools, VNC, Lame, Gaim, Jabber, Licq, and Alsa and OSS plugins, and I'm sure SuSE does with its monstrous CD collection or DVD. I think the latest kernel source, Mozilla milestone, and the free-to-download commercial programs mentioned are definitely a good idea for the CD. Brian J.

Hey Fellow Lugers... This is a reminder that were going to be having an installfest this Saturday on the 9th. If you know anybody who's interested in attending, please have them send me email! I've got a couple of questions to ask... 1. If your planning on attending as an installer, could you drop me a line. Chuck and Andy are already on the list, I'd just like to have a clean number so I can size the shifts. 2. Has the install-fest been posted to the wpi news groups? If not, could it please be posted.

I suspect that KDE performance will stink on a P166. You never mentioned how much memory lives in your system. KDE and Gnome seem to require alot of it (>32 MB) in my experience. Might I suggest that if you are memory limited that you try a lighter weight window manager such as icewm, blackbox, or any of the fvwm variants? On SuSE, you can type "wmlist" to see all of the window mangers installed. Then, to start a particular window manager, type: startx fvwm2 substituting your favorite window manager in place of fvwm2 above.

Doing a quick grep on nfs in the changelogs - I received several hits - so the problem may have been addressed. If after testing this with the latest stable release and prepatch release - I would then resend the bug report. I would also send the bug report to - mailto:linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org - this is the main kernel mailing list. When sending to this list indicate that you sent the message to person xyz and received no response and ask who the current maintainer for the nfs code is. If you get a different name as the maintainer - resend the report to that person. You may want to take a look at the following URL for reporting kernel bugs: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html Your bug report is fairly thorough and should suffice. Remember that the person you sent the bug report to just may be very busy (such as they may do this in their own free time) and has not got around to it yet or may have dropped it on the floor if the problem has already been solved. Don't be afraid to resend the bug report if the problem does still exist in the latest pre-patch release. Also if you don't get anywhere that route - try going to http://kernelnewbies.org/ - they have a few mailing lists and an IRC channel where you might also get some responses. Good Luck! - Tom

ssh-dummy-shell for OpenSSH???

by Keller, Tim

I'm setting up a test environment using OpenSSH built in sFTP server. What I want to-do is build a chroot environment where people can connect to the machine via sFTP but not via SSH. I know with the commercial version of SSH they have ssh-dummy-shell which when you try to connect via SSH just bails on you, but lets sFTP work properly. I've done some digging on the web and I haven't found anything that'll replace this functionality on the OpenSSH side of things. Anybody got any ideas/links of an open source version of ssh-dummy-shell. Thanks, Tim.

Claus, I am reporting a bug that I suspect is in nfs readdir. I am reporting it to you, because I found your email address in the source. If this is wrong, please tell me. Symptom: Several programs (details below) do not read the contents of an nfs-mounted directory. There is no indicated failure -- there just is no data. The nfs server is DG/UX. The nfs client is linux, kernel version 2.4.16. The problem does not show up with the 2.4.2 kernel (RedHat 7.1 dist.) or on nfs systems from a SUN server.

video card problems (I think)

by avedis＠ma.ultranet.com

Hi all. I'm lost trying to install suse 7.2 on a P166 with an ELSA GLoria vid card. I'm getting quite experienced with the different xfree setup utilities. When I was installing the software, I couldn't get past the video test and could only install text mode. If I use xf86config and use the vga16 driver, I can get into X, but all I see is the background color, and the only way out is ctrl-alt-back. I had to manually edit /etc/XF86Config to get rid of the 800X600 virtual screen and force it to 640X480. I did that so I could use sax without it going offscreen and out of reach of my mouse. Oh yeah, sax wasn't able to do the job, and sax2 told me I was using XFree v.3 and promised to install v.4, but it just hung totally - blank screen, hit the reset button to reboot. Using XF86Setup, I was able to install the XF86_3DLabs server (the right one) and can now get as far as the KDE desktop starting to open. It hangs when it's checking peripherals. Does that mean that some hardware is not set up properly, and if so, how do I find out which it is? Many thanks if anyone can point me in the right direction. Greg

HTTP v1.1 supports what is called "Host-based Virtual Hosting". This means that many web sites, each with a distinct hostname, can exist on the same web server, even though the web server has only one IP address. The way HTTP distinguishes which host it wants in a query, it uses the Host: header. Try this: >telnet 66.92.188.166 80 HEAD / HTTP/1.1 Connection: close Host: zork.net (hit enter for one blank line after the Host: line) You should see this output: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2002 22:02:30 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux PHP/4.1.1 Last-Modified: Sun, 20 Jan 2002 18:09:58 GMT ETag: "4f621-13ce-3c4b07f6" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 5070 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html You can try "GET / HTTP/1.1" instead, if you want to see the whole page, not just the HEADers. Then, try "Host: crackmonkey.org" and you should see a different root webpage (if you used GET, not HEAD). So, to answer your question about BBC, BBC must understand how to send HTTP/1.1 Host: headers in order for this to work, and you must use a hostname, not a dotted quad, unless it allows you to tell it what hostname to use in the Host: header, while also specifying a dotted quad IP address for actually making the TCP connection to port 80.

BBC cd

by doug waud

Hi all A few meeting back, Andy gave out some BBC-Linux cd's. I decided to try one and got hung up. Basically everything went well until I got to the stage of downloading stuff from the net (the network card set-up worked fine). The download hung. It defaulted to the address 64.81.65.8 for zork.net where the stuff was supposed to be. I suspected that zork.net had moved so I went to another box and went to it via netscape. It came up ok (the directory structure was slightly different but the files were there). The problem is that the BBC script needs a dotted quad, not a zork.net. So the problem is to find out the dotted quad for zork.net. I tried ping zork.net and it pinged 66.92.188.166. I then went there and got crackmonkey.org. I tried pinging crackmonkey.org and got that same 66.92.188.166 I got pinging zork.net ! arp zork.net and crackmonkey.org also gives that same common dotted quad. Ping of the BBC default address 64.81.65.8 gives nothing. Unlike Netscape, Konquerer will take dotted quads. The 66.92.188.166 comes up crackmonkey.org consistent with the preceding while 64.81.65.8 gives the error message "could not connect to host 64.81.65.8". My question, then, is how does one get a dotted quad for zork.net? A related question is whether anyone tried/succeeded loading Debian starting with that BBC-linux cd? i.e. can it be done? (The README-DEBIAN on the cd gives alternative sites but none of them has the -bbc versions of the image and tarball the install script is looking for. I admit to not wanting to go down the path of redoing the install scripts :-( ) This email sure did not please the spell-checker! :-) doug

apache help

by bryon3245＠netzero.com

I had some questions about apache. I am running apache on my dorm computer which is a win 98 and I started getting some strange log's. Sorry about it being so long but the stuff that scares is near the bottom. Could you also help me make it so users have to enter a password and username to acess certain sections of the site. Thanks everyone. Here are the log's ---Start of acess long--- 207.159.186.214 - - [21/Jan/2002:13:37:39 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 3848 207.159.186.214 - - [21/Jan/2002:13:37:39 -0500] "GET /pic/coolrun.GIF HTTP/1.1" 200 35654 207.159.186.214 -

It seemed to be OK considering that it was free. If I recall correctly, there is a GNU program for creating your own barcodes, and several of those were readable by the cue cat. I found physically larger bar codes easier for the cue cat to read, but again, your mileage may vary. Mine did seem a little sensitive to the speed of swiping the barcode. I suspect that if the cue cats were hung too low on the christmas tree, that the real cats would bat them around with their paws and break them. :-) Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

FS: Various EISA cards

by Phillip G Deneault

They're old, and if noone buys them, I'm just going to toss them. Last I knew all these cards were working properly. I have no drivers, .cfgs, manuals, or cables with them... however I found all of these very easily on the web. I'm making a push to eliminate all my EISA equipment. 5 bucks a card, any card, OBO. All sales final. No returns or refunds, I want this stuff gone. Make sure this stuff runs on the platform your going to run before buying. I ran most of them either under x386 Linux 2.2.x, Alpha OpenVMS, or Alpha Digital UNIX. I believe all have drivers for WinNT 4.0 too, if your into that sort of thing. -Model EILA8215 Intel EtherExpress32 LAN Adapter(AUI/BNC combo) -DTC-3292 SCSI controler(SCSI-2 narrow) -two 3com 3c597-TX NIC(10/half, 10/full, 100/half, no 100/full) -Adaptec AHA-2740A(FW SCSI-2) -Adaptec AHA-1740(SCSI-2) -DEC Etherworks DE422(TP/BNC combo) Reply if interested Phil -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Phil Deneault "We work in the dark, We do what we can, deneault(a)wpi.edu We give what we have.

Re: [Wlug] Cue Cats

by Adam ＠ Oak

> They make great xmas tree ornaments... Heh ;-) So... in case these things aren't viable: are there any ps/2 or usb barcode readers with linux drivers? Specially ones that just dump to the keyboard buffer? I've googling and haven't seen much. BTW the cue cats are doing ok in preliminary tests: they just don't like really small barcodes (3mm high) so far. -Adam p.s. Maybe its me, but the general shape of 'em says Cue Rat more than Cue Cat to me... end ___________________________________________________ Adam S.

Re: [Wlug] Apache + PHP + Mozilla

by Peter Gutowski

You need to tell apache that index.php is a page to load as a 'DirectoryIndex'. In your httpd.conf file (mine is in /etc/httpd/conf on RHL 7.1) append index.php to the line that loooks like this: DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml {.... maybe more things} so it should now read: DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php (BTW, you can define other filenames to be handled in this way.)

The Mac 6100 project

by Skip Gaede

Folks, Saturday, Andy sent out a note from Rob Belleville asking for help in getting Linux running on some 20-30 Macs. I've looked at the proposal, and Rob's proposal to setup a terminal server is pretty much impossible, as the PROM code for doing remote boot is restricted to the Intel platform. So, the counter proposal is to install the kernel on each box, and use NFS to mount most of the "stuff" needed on the client. This shouldn't be too hard, since all Rob wants to do is print and run a web browser from the clients. (Rob wants the clients to come up with autologon and possibly just start the web browser as well.) I could use some help with setting up the (Intel) server: DHCP, Cups or LPR or ..., NFS and getting the directories mounted on the clients at boot time. If someone would be willing lend a hand with this, please let me know. Another idea: If someone wants to do the server, I'll help out with getting the Macs running. --Skip

Fwd: Millbury Schools...

by Andy Stewart

Hi gang, I just received an e-mail from Rob Bellville from Millbury Public Schools. He has a bunch of old PowerMac 6100s and was wondering if it made sense to convert them to work as thin Linux clients (similar to the Linux terminal server project (ltsp.org)) If somebody would like to take a crack at doing this for a couple of these PowerMacs as a proof of concept, give Rob a shout at rb(a)millbury.net. I've attached Rob's e-mail, which has more detail. Later, Andy ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Millbury Schools... Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 13:14:25 -0500 From: <rb(a)millbury.net> To: andystewart(a)mediaone.net Andy, I have a thought about a WLUG project for the Millbury Schools. We are disposing of about 20-30 PowerMac 6100s and I was wondering if anyone in the WLUG group had any experience with thin linux terminals (LTSP.org) I've got one of them running mkLinux right now and I have a nice hefty Dell server (1GHz / 512 MB RAM) that could power quite a few of these clients. I'd hate to throw away all these Macs when they could be used somewhere within the district. They are 66 MHz / 40 MB RAM / 600 MB HD with NICs. The only problem at the moment is that timing is critical. They are being stored and need to be removed in the next month. I can let a few of them go to someone who wanted to work on them at home. I'd like to be able to have them be at the very minimum an Internet terminal and maybe run StarOffice or something similar. Let me know your thoughts. Like I said, this project could be done outside of the school and then come back to clone the remaining Macs after they were tested. I would be willing to give a few of them to someone as compensation. I'm still in a hectic school-construction mode so my participation will be limited to a minimum but I would be happy to deliver the Macs to anyone who was willing to give it a go. Also, it would be a good thing to write up for the LTSP.org website as they don't have much in the way of using Macs as thin clients.

These are either 66 or 80 mhz PPC 601, Nu-Bus based Macs, hence the limitation to mkLinux and not LinuxPPC. Also I think they take 72 pin EDO.

Re: [Wlug] General firewall question

by Andy Stewart

I played with Coyote Linux briefly, and I believe that it has the ability to do what you want. You might have to play with it a bit. Its advantage is its small size and you don't need a hard drive to run it. However, I seem to remember that you need a Linux system on which to unpack the tar ball and on which to run the scripts that create the single floppy image for the firewall. Double check, as my memory might be foggy. One might also opt for a minimal Linux installation with the addition of the necessary firewall software. I know that SuSE Linux has such an option in its canned installation. Robert Ziegler wrote a book entitled "Linux Firewalls" which I liked, but it is not for the fainthearted.

General firewall question

by Tim Trachimowicz

Hey folks... I'm currently running Apache on Win2K to serve a small personal webpage through my static IP assigned by my DSL provider. The machine is a "test" server but I'd like to secure it a little more. I've got a spare box sitting around that I'd like to use as a firewall/router, specifically with something like Coyote Linux/the LRP distros. I'm wondering if it's possible to use the DHCP features in such a firewall setup to pass the HTTP requests (router with static IP, server with a 192.168.x.x type IP) to the Win2K box AND limit the connections only to HTTP port 80 on the Win2K box. Next step would be a Win2K mailserver... Does this make sense or would a pure Linux server/IPtables type setup be easier?

NFS? problem

by Bill Mills-Curran

I have two linux boxes that have nfs-mounted a file system from a DG/UX server. One of them cannot read the directories properly. Here's a short Perl script: **************************************************************** #!/usr/bin/perl opendir(DIR, $ARGV[0]) or die; @files = readdir(DIR); print(join("\n", @files, '')); exit(0); **************************************************************** On server A: % uname -a Linux A 2.4.16 #1 SMP Fri Dec 14 15:31:54 EST 2001 i686 unknown On server B: % uname -a Linux B 2.4.2-2 #1 Sun Apr 8 20:41:30 EDT 2001 i686 unknown B is running the standard RedHat 7.1 kernel, while server A has been upgraded. On B, when I run the test script, supplying the name of an NFS directory (on the DG/UX server), I get the "right stuff" -- a good directory listing. On A, the same operation gives me nothing. No failure or anything. The script works find on local disks and on disks NFS mounted from a Sun server. The A server also has the reiserfs installed on an unrelated drive. The symptom is not limited to perl scripts. I get strange behavior from tcsh, too. Any ideas? Thanks, Bill

REMINDER: Meeting Wed, Jan 16th

by Andy Stewart

Hi everybody, This is a friendly reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on Wednesday, January 16th, 2002, on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA. For this meeting, please note that we will be in a **DIFFERENT LOCATION**. The meeting will be in Perreault Hall in a building called Fuller Labs (yes, still on the WPI campus). To get directions, click the yellow "WLUG meetings" picture on the top of the WLUG website, and then click "directions". It is in the building next to the Gordon Library. Taking place at this meeting will be the greatly anticipated "Linux Distribution Bakeoff". Representing several different distributions will be: Doug Waud - SuSE 7.2 Tim Keller - Mandrake 8.1 Adam Keck - Debian (Stable) This meeting is being held to discuss distribution specific features. The aforementioned folks profess some level of expertise with their particular distribution and will extol us with the virtues of same. I'm sure it'll be a fun and informative meeting. (Should I have been in sales instead of engineering?! Nah, nobody would buy anything from a long haired guy in a suit...). At this meeting we will also discuss the upcoming WLUG Install Fest, to be held on Saturday, February 9th, 2002 at Stratus Computer in Maynard, MA. This will be our third annual install fest at this location, and each has been well attended in the past by both installees and WLUG members. If you are interested in attending, please send e-mail to Tim Keller (tim.keller(a)stratus.com) Lurkers and voyeurs are also welcome to watch and learn. Be sure to tell your non-Linux friends! Lunch will be served, and refreshments will be available. Safety mitts will be made available to prevent inadvertant plug pulling of powered computers (darn, Doug's not coming). There will also be a few items available for raffle at the install fest. I suspect that I can scrounge up a few items for raffle at the WLUG meeting as well. After the meeting, we'll make our monthly pilgrimage to the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beer. All are welcome! -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

If I want to change my hostname from "localhost.localdomain" to simoncim> whatever I please, how do I do it? This depends, do you want to fix it to a value of your own choosing (which may not match the DNS for the IP you get from DHCP), or do you want to have it set to whatever the DHCP server is giving you as a hostname (which will likely match the DNS for the IP it gave you)? For the former, you can set it in the file: /etc/sysconfig/network either add or edit the existing HOSTNAME= line: HOSTNAME=whateveryouwant.domain.com then reboot (which sets the hostname to the above value automatically) or set the hostname manually if you do not wish to reboot: hostname whateveryouwant.domain.com If you want DHCP to set your hostname, there are several options, depending on what DHCP client you are using (pump, dhcpcd, or dhclient). I always recommend dhclient over the other two. You can get it at http://www.isc.org/, or RPM packages for Red Hat 7.1 (recommended) at ftp://angus.ind.wpi.edu/pub/packages/isc/dhcp. Version 3.0 is the latest stable release, and 3.0.1rc4 is the latest release candidate. All you need is dhcp-3.0-1cra.i386.rpm and dhcp-client-3.0-1cra.i386.rpm. Install them like this (as root): rpm -Uvh dhcp-*3.0-1cra.i386.rpm The client package will automatically patch the necessary files in Red Hat (/sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifup if you are curious) to use dhclient before pump and/or dhcpcd if it exists. dhclient from the RPM packages will automatically set your hostname if the hostname is currently null, "(none)", "localhost" or "localhost.localdomain". You can control all sorts of behavior from the configuration file /etc/dhclient.conf. pump and dhcpcd I believe will also set the hostname if the current hostname matches the above list. They are supposed to do this one of two ways: 1. doing a reverse DNS lookup on the IP that DHCP assigns (pump --lookup-hostname or dhcpcd -H). or 2. using the hostname that DHCP passes back (pump -h or dhcpcd -h). You can force behavior 2 by setting the variable DHCP_HOSTNAME to anything in /etc/sysconfig/network: DHCP_HOSTNAME=yes Otherwise /sbin/ifup will use method 1. -- Charles R.

You'll always want to have references in your hostfile to "localhost" as this is pretty much the standard way of referencing the local machine, and not having a "localhost" reference in your /etc/hosts file will break some programs and scripts. Also, it helps to define what is ment by "localdomain". Whether or not your machine has a network interface device, like a modem, or ethernet card, there is always a built-in network device called the "loopback device" or "loopback interface". If you run ifconfig, you should see some data about that, in addition to any other network devices you may have. This loopback device isn't really a physical device, but rather a software construct that acts like a network device. It allows two network applications to communicate if they are running on the same machine. Your IP for this device is 127.0.0.1. This device also need a network address, And if memory serves, any packet sent to 127.x.x.x will be sent out the loopback interface (and also, recieved throught the loopback interface). 127.0.0.0 is the local domain. Here's what I have in my /etc/hosts file: -------- 127.0.0.1 tundra localhost tundra.abyss localhost.localdomain 192.168.42.2 savannah savannah.abyss --------- First, the background: This machine is on a home network with the domainname "abyss". There are 2 machines on this network: "tundra" and "savannah". The machine that I snagged this /etc/hosts file from is tundra. What the first line does is establish 4 names for this machine: localhost, tundra, tundra.abyss, and localhost.localdomain. The second line adds an entry for the other machine on the home network, savannah. There is also another file called /etc/networks, which defines the network names in the same way that /etc/hosts defined hosts names. Here's mine: ---------- localdomain 127.0.0.0 abyss 192.168.42.0 ---------- The first line established the network on loopback device (which only has one machine). the secons establishes the external network. As you can see, the local network (localdomain) is NOT the same as an external network. If you don't have your machine on a home lan, Finally, my machine now has 2 names tundra and localhost. my /etc/hostname file has to include my desired hostname. It contains only one line, which has the name I'd like to use for my machine. ----------- tundra ----------- Hope this helps.

The alsa stuff comes with an initscript called alsasound in the utils/ subdirectory of the source. It gets installed automatically with a "make install" into /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound. You can enable alsasound to start automatically with these commands: /sbin/chkconfig --add /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound (only need to do this right after installing the first time) /sbin/chkconfig alsasound on or start/stop it at any time with these commands: /sbin/service alsasound start /sbin/service alsasound stop On Thu, Jan 03, 2002 at 02:42:01PM -0500, Bill Mills-Curran wrote: subssn594> So, what's the right way to load a module at boot? subssn594> 2.

2 audio questions...

by Bill Mills-Curran

1. Thanks to the hints from this group, I was able to get the ALSA sound driver modules installed on my RedHat 7.1 box. (The subwoofer sounds great.) Now, since I'm a newbie WRT adding modules, I don't know the _right_ way to get them to load at boot. Right now, I just added some modprobe lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but I suspect that's not right. (I did add some options lines to /etc/modules.conf, but since the syntax is unfamiliar to me, I did not see a way to actually load the module -- perhaps insmod?) So, what's the right way to load a module at boot? 2. What's the best place to get started to be able to receive web radio broadcasts? I haven't found anything very helpful in the RH distro. Maybe I'm not looking for the right thing? TIA, Bill

Installfest Time!

by Keller, Tim

Hey Everybody, As the Subject implies, it's Installfest time. I'm thinking of holding it the 9th of February, I'd like some input on if this is too early, etc... I'd also like other peoples input on stuff such as... 1. What distributions people should bring... 2. Possibly having a mini key signing party 3. Quake/Unreal/Castle Wolfenstein/tetrinet tournament. 4. Have some demonstrations going (such as transgaming running the sims/diablo2) Basically if you've got some idea that might improve the installfest, fire me an email! I'd also like some input from Andy about the possibility of using WLUG money to purchase something good for the raffle. I'm seeing if I can get us a big / better room for all this. Tim.

Re: [Wlug] help: printing to MS98 server

I posted the problem below, and I finally found out what was wrong with my lpd setup -- nothing! The entire problem was a setup on the W98 settings for the driver. All I had to do was disable bi-directional support for the printer. (I think it was enabled because I have a scanner head for the printer.) Just thought the group might like to know.

Change the "bootproto" line to be "dhcp" instead of "none" (assuming it's configured statically at the moment.) The RedHat documentation has information on this.

Re: [Wlug] Re: Configuring Linux laptop for cable modem access???

by Stephen Daukas

Hi Gerrald! There is nothing special you need do. I have a laptop running RH7.1 and am using a "cable modem" (Surf Board) in Shrewsbury. I also have a home network, but that doean't make any difference - you either configure the router or the PC to talk to the cable modem. Assuming you have DHCP (i.e., you do not have a static IP assigned), you should be able to simply configure your ethernet interface and plug it into the cable modem. There is a good chance eth0 is already setup if you installed RH onto the laptop with the nic card already installed. You can use Linuxconf to set up eth0 for dhcp and that is about it (use the masks given to you by the cable company, as well as DNS settings, etc.). Of course, you might want to consider putting a firewall between you and the rest of the world because when you plug your PC directly into a cable modem, the anyone on that system can now see you computer...
