HI everybody,
The WLUG website has been moved to a new location. I'd like to thank
Rob Bellville for hosting the WLUG website for us for the last 3.5 years!
Unfortunately, the ISP that Rob was using is "going away" so the site
needed a new home. Chuck Anderson has volunteered to host the WLUG
website on his machine - thanks, Chuck! I will still maintain my role to
keep the site up to date with meeting announcements and such.
The change should be totally transparent to all of you. …
[View More]You will continue
to access the site via:
http://www.wlug.org
You will know if you are seeing the new site since it says "**NEW**" near
the top. As the DNS change is propagated around the Internet, eventually
you'll all see the new site. Don't freak out if you don't catch the new
site immediately...they both have identical content. I won't remove the
files from the old site just yet until we're sure that the transition has
been completed successfully.
If you have problems accessing the site, please let me know.
Thanks,
Andy

Thanks for the feedback.
Resized the WinFAT32 partition successfully (lost no data).
Linux partitions expanded (required reformatting that did wipe data.)
System appears to remain stable.

I have configured several boxes at home behind a Linksys router #BEFSR81.
Both my windoze and linux boxes are able to connect through the router
however Realaudio only connects through the router successfully on my windoze
box. On the linux box I have installed it successfully but cannot get get it
to connect through the router. What should I be looking at in order to solve
this? I tried looking at preferences and tried Auto-Configure to no avail.
Unfortunately I do not know what RTSP or …
[View More] PNA is or how to use it. Any help
will be greatly appreciated.
thx,
mike

A fast question:
Anyone have experience with the stability of and general wisdom of
shifting the Linux partition on a hard drive on a dual boot machine? I am
trying to upgrade to a newer kernel and am presented with not enough
memory on the Linux side of the drive.
Encountered error message:
<<An error occurred. Tour system has not enough space left for
installation or upgrade (366821583>188726600)>>
If the endeavor is too risky I can sacrifice the current Linux install,
…
[View More]wipe the partition and install from scratch. (That does undermine the
whole benefit of purchasing the proprietary upgrade package though.)
Thanks.

well here goes... i got an old compaq deskpro (yes, a stupid mistake...
but it was cheap) and wanted to load red hat 7.0 on it and possibly use
the deskpro as a intranet server so that i could learn how to set a
server up.
everything loads fine but when the system tries to go into x and give me
a login screen, the monitor makes a poping sound and the screen goes
blank.
same thing with mandrake and caldera.
the screen stays blank. i have gone into the bios and disabled pnp and
energy saver …
[View More]but that does not help.
i have been going through the faq's and the only thing i have found out
is that compaq did some strange things around the mbr.
i have no other options open to me and would appreciate any help anyone
can give concerning this.
thanks

Hi,
and thank you in advance for your patience.
This deals with upgrading kernel
In attempting to install vmware 2.0 in Red Hat 6.2, I was notified that I
needed an upgrade to RH6.2 kernel.
While trying to install the kernel upgrade with rpm I received error
messages: 1) failed dependencies: rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0.1 is
needed by kernel-2.2.19-6.2.1
2) mount < 2.10r conflicts with kernel-2.2...
3) nfs-utils < 0.3.1 conflicts with kernel-2.2...
I understand that I …
[View More]can ignore the conflicts (2,3) by specifying --replacefiles
in the rpm command.
I decided to upgrade rpm assuming that rpmlib would be included. Using
gnorpm I downloaded rpm 4.0-4 and received another error: only packages with
major numbers <=3 are supported by this release of rpm. Presumably this
message is issued by the currently version of rpm 3.0.4-0.48. This may be a
red herring and not important as I continued.
I used ncftp to download by specifying "mget rpm-*.rpm" and received four files
rpm-4.0.2-6x.i386.rpm, also -build-, -devel-, -python- from RH site.
When I tried to install rpm-4.0.2-6x I received an error: failed dependency
libdb-3.1.so.
Where can I find libdb?
How could I determine that for myself if I run into another dependency?
Do you have any suggestions/recommendations regarding updating kernel?
I am using instructions retrieved from RH titled "Upgrading the Linus Kernel on
Red Hat Linux systems" by Red Hat Support last updated 2000 May 17

Hi everybody,
This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held in
Kinnicutt Hall (a.k.a the usual place) at WPI at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, May
16h.
The topic for discussion will be the practical use of IPCHAINS. What does
that mean? This meeting, Doug Waud and I will present to you ways to use
IPCHAINS to implement a firewall. This is not theory, this is
practice...what to type, what it does, and why. This talk will build on
the more detailed information presented by Bob …
[View More]Ziegler at our last meeting.
Doug will start with a presentation of the simpler case of getting a
firewall up which supports masquerading (that is, getting multiple
machines on your home network to share one IP address, as you would for
cable modem, for example), e-mail, and browsing.
I will follow up with more detailed examples of IPCHAINS code from my own
firewall script for allowing certain services through the firewall to the
home network.
Although firewalling is a complex topic, we're hoping to distill out of
that complexity enough information so that a person can get started toward
implementing a secure firewall.
I'm looking forward to a good turnout at this meeting. Come on down!
Later,
Andy

Bill,
Try doing a traceroute on port 22 to your machine and see where along the
line it get stopped.
It's probably a default security thing they have setup, you could probably
call up tech support and have them remove the blocks for specific ports...
Tim.

Subject: [Wlug] charter.net & ssh
I got my new Charter cable modem and Linksys …
[View More]router set up recently,
but I find that Charter seems to be blocking inbound access. I've the
the sshd running, and I set the router to pass port 22 to my linux
box. I can even connect if I ssh outbound to the router DHCP address,
so it looks like my end of the configuration is correct.
Anybody experience anything like this? Do you think that Charter will
allow incoming requests to my system?
TIA,
Bill

Bill,
I make it to the same point. Looks like the 10.254.1.2 is the
gateway onto that segment of Ethernet, this would indicate that they do
blocking at the router (at least to me and i'm not a network expert...)

Tim,
It never makes it. BTW, if you're looking to try this yourself, I've
turned off …
[View More]the forwarding on my router. I probably should have left
it on so that I could work with the Charter people.
