Hi list,
I started using a RH distro only a couple of weeks ago, so please bear
with me if the question sounds stupid.
The Samba daemon refused to start properly, so my first reaction was to
reinstall the package and hope that solved things. I've since solved the
problem realising that Samba wasn't to blame, but netcfg had removed an
entry in my /etc/hosts file, but while trying to reinstall Samba via rpm
(hence the message to this list) I came across an oddity.
# rpm -U <package>.rpm
Error: <package> is already installed
Very odd... I thought the -U switch was used to unconditionally
overwrite anything in place. Let's try uninstalling it first and seeing
if that helps
# rpm -e <package>.rpm
Error: <package> is not installed
So what's the deal here? Is the package installed or not? I would tend
to say that it *is* installed because it's working (sounds logical...)
How is it that rpm can't decide whether the package is installed or not?
This doesn't happen with just the Samba package, it happens with *any*
package. This leads me to believe that I'm typing the wrong command line
options, or that there is a deep-down problem with the whole RPM system.
Any ideas?
Thanx in advance.

Did you *configure* samba? You can do so by running swat as root, then
going to your browser and entering the URL http://127.0.0.1:901 When
prompted for username, enter root and your root password

No, that is not correct. The "-U" switch means upgrade. If you want to
overwrite a package, use the "--force" switch.

Onit ".rpm", you pass RPM only the package name, eg, "rpm -e <package>"

I recommend some reading... Start with the man page for RPM, and then
read the book "Maximum RPM" by Redhat. Available on the net in PDF
format, or in HTML at http://rpmdp.org.

Thanks for the info.
The problem didn't lie with Samba in fact. I have several domain names
pointing to the same IP number in my /etc/hosts file, the most important one
of which (my hostname) was removed when I used netcfg to reconfigure a ppp
service. I added the line manually and Samba (and X) was running fine again.
I did, in fact, start by reading through the man pages for rpm, but
obviously not in great detail because I overlooked the --force option. I
did, however, find the -e switch, and the man pages I have *don't* tell you
to omit the .rpm extension unless you go away for a couple of hours, come
back nice and fresh, and realize you're being told the syntax is:
rpm -e <package_name>
and *not*
rpm -e <package_file>
Duh...... [smashing head on nearest wall]
Thanks again, and I certainly will investigate "Maximum RPM".

-U _updates_ the installed package (used with newer
versions of packages that are already installed) ...

You can see if RPM thinks a package is installed by
doing
rpm -q <package>
(-q is for query; don't use the .rpm extension here.)
Have you looked at the rpm man pages? Pretty
extensive, and should clear up command-line questions

Hi folks,
I am running RedHat 7.1 as a masquerading firewall. I am currently using
ipchains for the firewall but will likely switch to iptables shortly.
I am trying to connect to a MS PPTP server through the firewall. The client
behind the firewall is running Windows 2000.
I have read all the docs I can find but they pertain only to 2.2 and
earlier kernels.
I have:
insmod ip_gre
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 1723 -l
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -p 47 -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -l
ipchains -A output -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 1723 -l
ipchains -A output -j ACCEPT -p 47 -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -l
ipchains -A input -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 1723 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -l
ipchains -A input -j ACCEPT -p 47 -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -l
to no avail.
Sometimes I see GRE packets logged, sometimes not. Guess I changed
something without noting/realizing it.
I never see a connection.
Do I need further setup or a kernel patch?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Rex.
Rex, what is your error log telling you?

Hi Kent,
I couldn't find an error log in 2000 but it's getting as far as "verifying
user name and password."
The linux log resembles:
kernel: Packet log: output ACCEPT eth0 PROTO=6 66.xx.xx.xx:61607
4.xx.xx.xx:1723 L=48 S=0x00 I=63755 F=0x4000 T=127 SYN (#1)
kernel: Packet log: input ACCEPT eth0 PROTO=6 4.xx.xx.xx:1723
66.30.134.239:61607 L=44 S=0x00 I=5393 F=0x4000 T=110 (#15)
kernel: Packet log: output ACCEPT eth0 PROTO=6 66.xx.xx.xx:61607
4.xx.xx.xx:1723 L=40 S=0x00 I=63756 F=0x4000 T=127 (#1)
kernel: Packet log: output ACCEPT eth0 PROTO=6 66.xx.xx.xx:61607
4.xx.xx.xx:1723 L=196 S=0x00 I=63757 F=0x4000 T=127 (#1)
kernel: Packet log: input ACCEPT eth0 PROTO=6 4.xx.xx.xx:1723
66.xx.xx.xx:61607 L=196 S=0x00 I=5649 F=0x4000 T=110 (#15)
kernel: Packet log: output ACCEPT eth0 PROTO=6 66.xx.xx.xx:61607
4.xx.xx.xx:1723 L=208 S=0x00 I=63758 F=0x4000 T=127 (#1)
kernel: Packet log: input ACCEPT eth0 PROTO=6 4.xx.xx.xx:1723
66.xx.xx.xx:61607 L=72 S=0x00 I=5905 F=0x4000 T=110 (#15)
I was also seeing:
kernel: Packet log: input ACCEPT eth1 PROTO=47 192.168.0.1:65535
4.xx.xx.xx:65535 L=66 S=0x00 I=10466 F=0x0000 T=128 (#2)
kernel: Packet log: forward MASQ eth0 PROTO=47 192.168.0.1:65535
4.xx.xx.xx:65535 L=66 S=0x00 I=10466 F=0x0000 T=127 (#2)
kernel: Packet log: input ACCEPT eth1 PROTO=47 192.168.0.1:65535
4.xx.xx.xx:65535 L=66 S=0x00 I=10470 F=0x0000 T=128 (#2)
kernel: Packet log: forward MASQ eth0 PROTO=47 192.168.0.1:65535
4.xx.xx.xx:65535 L=66 S=0x00 I=10470 F=0x0000 T=127 (#2)
4.xx.xx.xx is the IP of the VPN server, 66.xx.xx.xx is the IP of the
firewall, 192.168.0.1 is the VPN client behind the firewall. eth0 is the
firewall's external interface, eth1 is one of the internal interfaces.
Can't get the GRE stuff to log now, presumably it is no longer working.
Is there any other log that would be useful?
Cheers,
Rex.

I am looking for a way to limit the idle time users can have before their
connection to my system be terminated. I was thinking something in
limits.conf but I'm not sure.
Some system specs:
p2 300, 96mb ram, redhat linux 7.0 kernel 2.2.16-22
Any information or a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.

Hi,
I've got Red Hat Linux 7.0. When I am in the XWindow, my Backspace is
like the "Del" button. And I am not able to write an @. My Networkcard
doesn't work, too. Please send my the information how I am able to do
it. Which tool may I use???
Thanks
Tobias Heuft
To use the backspace key properly, edit the text file
/etc/X11/Xmodmap
In the Xmodmap file locate...
---
! i386 and alpha
! keycode 22 = BackSpace
! keycode 107 = Delete
---
Remove the ! char. for the last two lines so it will read
---
! i386 and alpha
keycode 22 = BackSpace
keycode 107 = Delete
---
restart your X (window)
And for the @ char. I don't know, sorry ;-(
For the networking part. You must know what networkcard you use.
Then...to setup networking you may use netconf ( a part of
linuxconf )
Good luck

In dos I can type diskcopy a: a: to make a copy of a floppy
disk.
How is this done in (RedHat) Linux 7.0. I do not wish to use the
X Window utility if there is one. Only a command that I can type
in the consol.
Thank you

**If you have two floppy drives**
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/fd1
**If you have one floppy drive**
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=temp.img
(switch floppies)
dd if=temp.img of=/dev/fd0
rm temp.img
Note that dd has to be run as root in this case.

I don't want to go against anyone who evidently knows much more about the
operating system than myself, but.....
...The comment about needing root privileges tweaked my interest. I just
copied a floppy using dd and an image file on my disk - but as a regular
user *without* any root privileges.
Now, I'm not using the last shout in Linux. RedHat 6.0 distro, 2.2.5-15
kernel. Maybe the need for root priviliges was deemed necessary for improved
security and added to later versions.

Okay, I guess my first question is, will your connection work with ipchains
flushed?
If not, then the problem is not with ipchains, if it does, then the problem
lies with ipchains.
Now, with that out of the way, I see by looking at the log you sent, it
appears as though there were no denials, providing this is enough of the log
that would include them.
Also, by looking at your earlier post, I'm wondering if that is your entire
ipchain ruleset. Did you set the defaults? If so, what were they?
Honestly, while I'm still a newbie at ipchains, I question if ipchains is
your problem.

Hi,
I am having some problems with some of the services running on my
RedHat 7.1 box. The affected services (maybe not limited to) are
sendmail and SWAT, and possibly SMB (server) and NMB (server).
Other services such as POP3, HTTP and TELNET are working perfectly.
The /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny files are allowing access from my
other PC. All three services are online and function when accessed
directly on their own machine. The IP-CHAINS firewall is active, but
not blocking connections from my other machine (I have even tried with
IP-CHAINS off).
Could this be a problem with the new xinetd service? Could it be a
problem with one of my config files? I have tried to edit the
/etc/mail/access file and have hash databased it. I have also tried to
manually set the inerface details via SWAT.
Is this a common problem for RH 7.1 systems? It all worked perfectly
when I used RH6.2. I would downgrade, but the I no longer have a
working CD copy. Can anybody suggest a fix?
Cheers,
TC
Hi
I'm running redhat 7 and have to run
/sbin/insmod aha152x aha152x=0x340,9,7
each time I want to use my scsi zip drive.
How do I make this run whilst booting? I use my linux as a standalone
desktop machine, and shutdown/restart everytime I use it.

You can put the command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it'll be run right
after the init items ("Starting ???... [ OK ]")

Hi, all
I have installed Postfix in my machine. It runs perfectly. I also need to give
my user pop3 facility so I have installed QPopper. I have followed the
instructions step by step without any problem. It is still not working.
I have tried "telnet MAILSERVER IP 110" but it seems not working to. I have
feeling that QPopper is not working.
Any suggestion?
Thank in advanced
Mazen

Well, I don't know the software method, but what worked for me was
unplugging the speaker inside the case. :)

I am very, very new to Linux...I recently installed Redhat 7.1 Workstation on my secondary hard drive and I found it to be the most stable, solid distribution of Linux I have tried so far (I've also tried Mandrake 7.2 and SuSE 7.1). However, Redhat did not seem to like my hardware, namely my cd-writer and my scanner. Both SuSE and Mandrake accessed cds burned with Windows without any setting up from me...I didn't try the scanner with either of them because I just bought it. I have no idea how to go about getting my cd-writer or my scanner to work with RedHat - if I could, I can foresee me actually getting rid of Windows altogether and using RedHat exclusively.
Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction where to find out how to fix it? TIA -

From the Xwindows GUI (at least for Gnome), click on any terminal
window with the Right mouse button to get the preferences menu.
One of the options under the "GENERAL" tab is "SILENCE TERMINAL BELL"
(along with some other Gnome terminal preferences you might want to
adjust). Select OK to keep the changes for all future terminals.
Now I only wish I could tell you which .*rc config or setup file
that GUI operation actually updates! %^P

RedHat is kind of strange, I am using RH 7.0 right now and I don't like
it. I'm downloading SuSE 7.1 in the bg. Heard it is more stable, not
that I have any problems with RH7.0. But things like the CD-writing
setup. The good side is that you have at least a Kernel which is
compilied so that you can use you IDE CD-writers.
I order to use your CD-writer you have to emulate SCSI, so you are
"actually using a SCSI CDburner". It sounds hard, but it is real easy.
You can find a good manual @
http://linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/software/cdrecord_cdr.html
I had my box up and writing in about 10minutes.
One more tip from Skylinux
"mkisofs -o <filename.iso> -R -r -J -V <cdname> <source>"
This command creates a CD-image with these commands
-o => output file (.iso file)
-J => creates a Windows Joilet file (long file names for Windows)
-R => creates Rock Ridge protocol
-r => sets uid gid to 0 (very usefull if you are writing a CD)
-V => sets the CDname, you can do this "RedHat 7.0" by typing this
"RedHat\ 7.0"
That should help you a lot, need more help, let us know

Hi,
Look in your /etc/inetd.conf file and locate the lines which start with:
pop-2.............
pop-3.............
imap................
Make sure they're not commented out - i.e. that they don't start with a "#".

Thanks for all your help, Skylinux, I really appreciate it! I'm going to reinstall RedHat and try your suggestions.
SuSE worked very well for me and it did seem pretty stable...only 2 issues I had with it persuaded me to try Redhat: one, it's not as fast as RedHat in starting applications and so forth, and two, it's European in origin and some of the things in it are hard for this American girl to catch onto right away (such as the 24-hour clock and the dates in it written month first, as in 14/05/00). Other than that, it worked very well for me and in fact I have used it more than any other Linux distribution. If I can't get things going with RedHat I will probably go back to SuSE...and come to think of it, when I was using SuSE my computer had a 600mHz chip - I have since upgraded to a 1 gHz chip and haven't tried SuSE with it yet. So the speed issue may not even be an issue.

I want to disable it in the console not terminal ...
Has anyone else had the problem where gpm loses it's ability to cut &
paste after a little while? I'm probably just going to update gpm, but was
wondering if I'm alone or not here...

how about just recompiling the RHL 7.0 kernel . you can do it using the small workaround I mentioned in my erlier mails to the list. It is a 1 minute job !
