XFree86 SMP Woes
by Marc Hughes 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

I just installed a second processor, installed an SMP kernel, and booted into it. At first, everything seemed great, I can do massive compiles, top shows both CPU's, and things go pretty zippy. BUT... I can't start X. This is what startx gives me: XFree86 Version 4.2.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.2.0-8) / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 23 January 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/) Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.17-0.13smp i686 [ELF] Build Host: daffy.perf.redhat.com Module Loader present Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Mon Oct 21 19:23:34 2002 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" (EE) RADEON(0): [agp] Could not bind XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. I'm guessing the whole not being able to bind the AGP is the really bad part. I booted into the single CPU kernel, and X still works fine there. Any ideas? -Marc

sendmail/RH8.0
by Bill Mills-Curran 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

After upgrading to RedHat 8.0, I'm being forced to learn more about sendmail that I have time to invest, so I need some help. Previously, I had used linuxconf to set up Linux server at work (EMC) that would forward most email to the domain mail server -- I'm not trying to manage mail for the company. One twist... I want to define a few aliases. My linuxconf setup worked great -- I could send email to aliasname(a)thismachine.emc.com, and the /etc/alias file would be used to translate "aliasname" to a list of addresses. With the new split sendmail config, I'm floundering. I've made a few tweaks that were necessary to allow the machine to act as an internal relay (I need some security help here, too), but I'm still fighting a mail loop problem. So, here are my specific questions/requirements: 1. I want to send to an alias on "thismachine.emc.com" from anywhere inside emc. 2. I want the same aliases to be used for email originating from "thismachine". 3. I don't want to create a relay security hole. I'll send my sendmail.mc and submit.mc files upon request. TIA, Bill

linuxconf replacement?
by Bill Mills-Curran 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

I've just upgraded to 8.0, and I find that linuxconf is no longer distributed. I was growing fairly fond of it, and I'm wondering what is the latest and greatest system management tool. I've seen "setup", and it's a bit lacking. I like linuxconf because: 1. It doesn't require the detailed (geek-level) knowledge that editing config files requires. 2. It works without a gui, which is very convenient for su-ing to root, or working through slower connections. So, what's the "best" system management tool these days? TIA, Bill

Re: [Wlug] RH 7.0->7.3 upgrade
by Peter Gutowski 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

I'd suggest that you consider upgrading to 8.0. I've been very impressed with the changes in 8.0 primarily in the area of user interface. I've experienced problems with RHL upgrades in the past. But I believe the bulk of those problems owed to the fact that I was attempting to upgrade where the disk setup was just too "tight". Perhaps in contrast to to 7.0, both 7.3 and 8.0 put a lot of files into /usr/share. You'll may make things easier for yourself if /usr/share is on its own partition. Aside from the be prepared for a general tightening of security. If you use sendmail, you'll probably have to add a "sendmail: ALL" into /etc/hosts.allow as the default is to only do mail handling from localhost. RHL 8.0 uses apache 2.x whereas RHL7.3 still uses the 1.3.x versions. Having installations on hard disks with enough hard drive space has made both upgrades, 7.3 and 8.0, pretty painless. As Charles Anderson ;) may likely suggest to you, be sure to read (and digest) the README files on the install disks... probably before you start to alleviate too many surprizes. (Foolish boy that I was, I *didn't*. And to my embarassment, he [rightfully] rubbed my nose in it. But, hey, I learned my lesson.) FYI, this may not be totally meaningful without know how much and just what exactly in installed. But, that said, I'd characterize my installation as medium -- neither slim nor fat. Here's some pertinent partition usages: Filesystem 1K Blocks Used Available % Mounted on /dev/hda3 497861 80662 391495 18% / /dev/hda1 31079 6419 23056 22% /boot /dev/hda11 2063504 98612 1860072 6% /home /dev/hda7 2063504 1209760 748924 62% /usr /dev/hda9 521748 113052 382192 23% /usr/local /dev/hda8 2063504 729108 1229576 38% /usr/share /dev/hda10 521748 154348 340896 32% /usr/src /dev/hda5 497829 76114 396013 17% /var -PG On 10/18/2002 9:53 AM, Richard Goodman <dick(a)goodman1.net> wrote: >I have four RH servers, two 7.0 and two new 7.3 servers just put up >last 6 >weeks or less >How painless would an upgrade of the older servers from 7.0->7.3 >be?

OS X firewall ?
by Richard Goodman 20 Oct '02

20 Oct '02

I put the question to the list because I think its related enough to be of interest. My wife just got a top-of-the-line iBook with OS X from school. Connects to the network at school instantly as it should. (I am brand new on OS X) At home I run an network based on a RH7.0 box with IpMasq and some servers going to a static-IP DSL line. About 10 machines, mixed Win and Mac, mixed static and DHCP. When she starts up the iBook: a) the DHCP server on the Linux box shows the normal DHCPREQUEST and DHCPACK lines. b) the Network panel on the iBook shows all the values I would expect to have been handed off by DHCP, 192.168.1.x IP, 255.255.255.0 mask, 192.168.1.1 gateway c) but unable to connect to the internet I found "Terminal" and was able to: d) ping the linux box e) do a nslookup against the name server on the linux box, resolving outside domain names f) bring up web pages running on the Apache server on the linux box But I don't seem to be able to get outside I thought the first thing to try would be to disable the IP Firewall that's being started on the iBook, but haven't been able to figure out how (or where its files are). BTW I run a fairly strict firewall on the linux box and the log shows no hits related to the iBook attempting to get outside. Or I could be totally off base, in which case I would be open to other avenues towards fixing this. Less related: There is an Apple Select 360 appletalk laserwriter on the network, connected thru an Asante appletalk/ethernet bridge which my wife has used with her G3. She can select it through the chooser on the iBook, and we can read and set printer config info, but although everything appears normal when printing for an application in OS9 classic, nothing gets to the printer (and no blinking green light indicating data transfer).

RHL8.0 includes PHP 4.2.2, plus various modules (libphp4.so for apache, imap, mysql, etc....) You might need to rework portions of the /etc/php.ini file, but it seems to be a straight shot. -PG

duplicate entry in mdstat with RAID-5 (fwd)
by Karl Hiramoto 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

Can someone please help me fix this problem? I don't know if my data is safe at the moment. I have double entries for hde1 and hde in /proc/mdstat. The problem arose when i did a raidhotadd for /dev/hde then again for /dev/hde1. Doh. Is this a problem? How do i fix it? I would like to be using hde1, hdf1, hdc1 The problem arose when the 60GB /dev/hde failed. I replaced it with an 80GB drive. I am running redhat 7.2 with their kernel 2.4.9-31 # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid5] read_ahead 1024 sectors md0 : active raid5 hde1[3] hde[2] hdf1[1] hdc1[0] 120102912 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 0 [3/3] [UUU] unused devices: <none> ---- # fdisk -l /dev/hde Disk /dev/hde: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 155061 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes Disk /dev/hde doesn't contain a valid partition table ----- # fdisk -l /dev/hdc Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 119150 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 * 1 119150 60051568+ fd Linux raid autodetect ---- # fdisk -l /dev/hdf Disk /dev/hdf: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 119150 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdf1 1 119150 60051568+ fd Linux raid autodetect -- /var/log/messages file when i tried to remove /dev/hde with raidhotremove Oct 17 22:17:15 data kernel: md: trying to remove hde from md0 ...

usb 2.0 backward compatable? yes?
by Wesley Allen 16 Oct '02

16 Oct '02

Hi gang, I did some research on whether or not usb 2.0 card (pci and pcmcia) would work with the 2.4 kernel. If I read right, the answer is yes, they will be seen as usb 1.0 and be able to use those drivers. Is this correct? Now, if I've got problem with my stupid bios not assigning a correct irq on my built-in usb controller, will this issue pan over to a pcmcia card as well? I've got no problem getting a new card for doing this, as I'd eventually want to have usb 2.0 devices come the 2.6 (3.0?) kernel anyway. I'd just be doing it sooner (and if mandrake figures out how to circumvent my bios, I'll have 4 or 6 ports! :-) ). Wes

Old RAM (OT)
by Tim Trachimowicz 14 Oct '02

14 Oct '02

Hey folks! Since you're probably the biggest group of people I know that might have unused hardware floating around, I figured I'd see if you guys can help me out. I'm searching for some RAM for an older PC I have. Specifically, it's 66mhz SDRAM for a Compaq Deskpro that I'm trying to turn into something useful. Anyways, I was wondeirng if any of you guys might have a DIMM or two flaoting around that's gathering dust (I'll pay you for it) or might know where I can find some on the cheap, before I hit up any of the big guys that I know have the RAM (but at a premium price). Thanks, Tim

Cinik worm (mod_ssl)
by Richard Goodman 13 Oct '02

13 Oct '02

I have two rather new RH7.3 servers, which I installed without any patches (dumb- had never installed patches before). A couple of weeks ago both got infected with [different] strains of the Cinik (mod_ssl) worm. On machine "A" I shut down Apache for about a week, and left "B" running. On 10/5/02 I downloaded and installed RH patches for apache, bind, glibc, openssh, openssl, php and mod_ssl on both machines. I deleted the cinik stuff from /tmp. Machine "B" has been worm-free since. Cinik reappeared on machine "A" overnight last night -- process running and the usual suspect files back in /tmp. I happened to look in /var/log/cron (on the subject of cron I am rather clueless) and saw the following suspicious entries in the time frame when I believe the worm reappeared: Oct 13 05:20:00 archive3 CROND[25572]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg) Oct 13 05:20:00 archive3 CROND[25573]: (root) CMD (/usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1) Oct 13 05:25:00 archive3 CROND[25577]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg) Oct 13 05:26:34 archive3 crontab[25622]: (apache) REPLACE (apache) Oct 13 05:27:00 archive3 crond[858]: (apache) RELOAD (cron/apache) Oct 13 05:27:29 archive3 crontab[25630]: (apache) REPLACE (apache) Oct 13 05:27:29 archive3 crontab[25635]: (apache) REPLACE (apache) Oct 13 05:27:29 archive3 crontab[25640]: (apache) REPLACE (apache) Oct 13 05:27:29 archive3 crontab[25645]: (apache) REPLACE (apache) Oct 13 05:28:01 archive3 crond[858]: (apache) RELOAD (cron/apache) Oct 13 05:30:00 archive3 CROND[25666]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg) Oct 13 05:30:00 archive3 CROND[25667]: (root) CMD (/usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1) Oct 13 05:35:00 archive3 CROND[25670]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg) Any suggestions as to what the log entries mean (i.e. who did what to Apache?), and why cinik has reappeared? Also, can someone point me towards a resource about cron so that I may become less clueless? Thanks, Dick

Installfest Media...
by Keller, Tim 12 Oct '02

12 Oct '02

So currently I've got ISO's for Redhat 7.3/8.0 and Mandrake 8.0 (disks 1 and 2, but not the 3rd internationalization disk) What other distributions would people like me to make some copies of? Also, I'm going to put together my obligatory Disk-o-everything. As a side note, I personally think it would be cool if we could have a repository of WLUG goodies, but I know there'd be some logistics around that. So far this is what's going to be on it. (unless otherwise noted, assume I'll be grabbing the latest) Office Stuff: OpenOffice Gimpprint Kernel Stuff: Latest Stable Kernel Sources Latest Unstable Kernel Sources (would like some input here) Sound Stuff: alsa free OSS drivers lame bladeenc cdparanoia grip ogg-vorbis ultramaster xmms xmms plugins Video: Nvidia Drivers (I'll grab everything, for every version they've got) (would like some input here) Video Tools: Cinelerra (and all the stuff that comes with it like Xmovie, etc) (input please!)

rpm build error
by Bill Mills-Curran 11 Oct '02

11 Oct '02

I just rebuilt apache from the RH 8.0 source rpm. The compilation succeeded, but the rpm failed with the following error message: Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /home/bcurran/tmp/rpmBuild/httpd-root error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types /usr/bin/apr-config /usr/bin/apu-config /usr/lib/APRVARS <snip-more files> RPM build errors: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types /usr/bin/apr-config /usr/bin/apu-config /usr/lib/APRVARS <snip-more files> Neither the modified source nor the binary rpm were generated. It looks like these files made it into the temporary install area just prior to generating the packages, and they should not have been there. Is there an option I should be using to make the install tree "right"? I know I can modify the spec file to wildcard include everything in the install directories, but that doesn't seem right. My command: "rpmbuild -ba httpd.spec". TIA, Bill

Future WLUG meeting dates posted
by Andy Stewart 11 Oct '02

11 Oct '02

HI Everybody, I've just posted the meeting dates for the first half of 2003 on the WLUG website. I've also extended an invitation to Jon 'Maddog' Hall to come to speak at a future WLUG meeting, and he has accepted our invitation. He'll visit during our February 20, 2003 meeting. Maddog travels alot and there was no way I could get him to come sooner (we tried). Remember that the Install Fest is only 2 weeks away! I haven't received any e-mails from prospective installees, but that doesn't surprise me since we still have 2 weeks until the event. Nonetheless, please start telling people about this event - advertise it on the WPI campus and tell all your friends! Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
