RE: [Wlug] FW: MN-130?

by Jerome Walczak

Not just yet. I'm in the process of downloading & burning some cd's which (hopefully) will allow me to upgrade the current installation - I'm going to try to go from FC 1 to FC 3 - the cd's I burnt before didn't boot & didn't work ... If the new version doesn't work or I can't get it to install right I'll swap out the MN card for another one I have spare ... Can anyone give me a quick explanation of why the SRPMS cd's didn't boot? I haven't tried any other distros yet with this system but I'm thinking it may be a good idea. -----Original Message----- From: wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-bounces@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf Of Jared Greenwald Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 9:36 PM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [Wlug] FW: MN-130?

Uses the prism 2 chipset, or maybe just prism, but either way its a standard (to myknowledge) chipset found on linksys cards. So under normal circumstances you should be able to use the tulip module to get this to work. But of course microsoft had to go in and put in their 2 cents and screw it up for everyone. Apparently the I/O address built onto the card was changed so you have to rewrite the tulip module manually in order to get it to work.

Re-iterate my topic idea

by Mike Leo

hi ya'll! After the utter silence from my last topic suggestion, you would think I wouldn't bring it up again, but... I have many very basic questions I would like to work through with you experts. Things like: kernel compiling/patching kernel-source vs kernel-headers frame buffers compiling software and USE flags lilo vs grub bootsplash WM/DE driver installs (NVidia/ATI) Again, I don't mind leading the discussion, but it would be boring as heck if I as the speaker just stood up there and asked questions and took notes as the audience did the talking. Thanks Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

REMINDER: Upcoming meeting

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody, There is a WLUG meeting coming up on Wednesday, April 20th, at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. This meeting is open to anybody with an interest in Linux. I'm still looking for a speaker for this meeting. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me ASAP. If we don't have a speaker, we'll have to find a way to amuse ourselves. :-) Volunteer speakers get free food after the meeting. I recently received a large package from the Netherlands. It contains 100 Ubuntu Linux CD sets (version 4.10 from November 2004) to give away. Bring home 5 - 10 of them for your friends - I'm not kidding! Check out http://www.ubuntulinux.org for more information. Each set contains 2 CDs - one is a live eval CD similar to Knoppix, while the other one is used to install Ubuntu on your system. Feel free to stop in just to get some CDs (but I hope you'll stay for the meeting!). Ubuntu is Debian based with Gnome as the default desktop. I'll also bring two books for the free raffle: Sendmail Milters by Bryan Costales and Marcia Flynt Published by Addison Wesley PHPH-Nuke Garage by Don Jones Published by Prentice Hall Well, that's about it. I'm hoping we get a speaker, and when we do, I'll send out an email to the group. See ya on Wednesday!

Re: A OpenSSH question. --> Solution

by joel d

Hi, First a hearty thank you to all that replied to my conundrum. Here is how I got past the problem of my (FreeBSD 5.3 Release) OpenSSH's "sshd" key errors, not loading at startup: 1) I had an incorrect line in /etc/rc.conf. One problem for me was an incorrect path to the program. The correct lines that mattered were: sshd_program=/usr/sbin/sshd sshd_enable="YES" 2) I also did not have correct keys generated for the sshd aplication. Based upon your helpful e-mails and the man pages I found the following worked just fine to create the SSHV2 dsa host key: ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key 3) Also, based upon recommendations I turned off DNS lookup by my sshd server in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. UseDNS no All is well here and my adventure helps someone else some day. Correcting these problems got my Putty and WinSCP connections down to around 2-3 seconds (from around 80-90 seconds). Thanks again for the excellent advice from WLUG, Joel Desrochers

Re: [Wlug] A OpenSSH question.

by John Stoffel

Joel, The sshd conf looks fine to my eye, but I'd try and bump up the loglevel in there and restart the daemon completely. Then look in the log file on startup and see what it says. It might give more details. Unfortunately, I'm leaving for the weekend soon, so I won't be able to help much for a while... Good luck! John

I use both putty and WinSCP as needed. An oversight on my part. I create the key using "ssh-keygen -t rsa1" and answer the questions for location and key. What follows is my sshd_config file.
