Help!
|
|
|
|
I have 2 hard drives. The smaller hard drive is my /home directory. For
|
|
whatever reason, if I copy/move large files onto that drive, Linux crashes.
|
|
It goes into guru meditation mode, in which you can type anything you want
|
|
on the screen, you will not get a prompt.
|
|
|
|
This happened on my other system as well, so I am very sure it is a general
|
|
Linux problem. I am using IDE drives.
|
|
|
|
Any hints? Any patches to fix this? I am using Linux Slackware v.1.0, with
|
|
no patches on the kernel.
|
|
|
|
Please email any replies. I don't get to read the newsgroup too often, so I
|
|
miss a lot of info.

One caveat: some (all?) Linux distributions do not have the user
|
|
"nobody" and group "nogroup". I created them, gave them bare minimum
|
|
privileges, and set them up as user and group in "httpd.conf". It
|
|
seems more secure than running httpd as root (but perhaps I'm
|
|
just giving myself a false sense of security).
|
|
|
|
On our SPARC, many programs require "nobody" and "nogroup" to work.

Please folks, don't make this kind of fixes inside kernel since
|
|
IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS. The kernel and it's drivers are designed to compile
|
|
without errors. This kind of compiling error is 99% sure indication that
|
|
there are serious error on your installation. For example the driver is not
|
|
compatible with your current kernel at all. It could also be possible that
|
|
some sources are from older version than the others.
|
|
|
|
The _ONLY_ safe reaction in this kind of situation is to perform the
|
|
installation from the beginning. If it doesn't help then the next step
|
|
is to ask for help usinig comp.os.linux.help.
|
|
|
|
Running kernel compiled using this kind of trick causes almost certainly
|
|
serious crach sooner or later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The error "/dev/audio: No such file or directory" means that you have to create
|
|
the device files (/dev/audio etc) using the script at the end of
|
|
linux/drivers/sound/Readme.linux.

Currently I have the Walnut Creek Yggd. version (Fall 94). I want

to run everything (especially X) from my hard drive. For some

reason the system cannot find the file libX11.so.3 when I run

xinit. "find" sees the file on the hard disk ok and so does

"which". I have my XFILESEARCHPATH set to the hard disk, but
|
|
this doesn't help. If I remount the CD it all works fine
|
|
but the speed is absolutely unacceptable. Are there other
|
|
evironment variables or paths that need to be set? Any help
|
|
at all will be appreciated!!

I am trying to use xdm, so the users can boot directly into X. It runs

None of the xdm config files mention a windows manager. The .xinitrc

Any suggestions?

A better solution is to USE the features of tcpd.
|
|
|
|
There are two files which determine whether or not a daemon gives out
|
|
information under tcpd: hosts.allow and hosts.deny (hosts_access(5))
|
|
|
|
You might like to do this:
|
|
|
|
<hosts.deny>:
|
|
fingerd: ALL : cat nofinger.text
|
|
|
|
|
|
<hosts.allow>:
|
|
fingerd: .your.domain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This says: if anyone in my domain tries to finger accept the connection,
|
|
otherwise, cat some text at them.

I'm interested in getting an account package that will work with a

I'm trying to compile the lprps-2.5 package (I was using lprps under

Who the hack told you that 46 was the correct major device number?

Try 9 instead, and it should work.

BTW: the official lists of device-numbers can be found in:

This is official because its the one that the kernel incorporates during

|
|
Date: 29 Sep 1994 00:58:21 GMT
|
|
|
|
Trans-Ameritech Systems announcing the Linux Plus BSD CD-ROM Release 4.
|
|
|
|
The company that pionered the Slackware distribution on a CD-ROM, the "live"
|
|
file-system and DOS-assisted installation procedures is proud to announce
|
|
a new revolutionary Installation Free (tm) release of Linux.
|
|
|
|
We hope you will find it easy to install and use. This CD-ROM has one feature
|
|
not found on any other distribution of Linux: it is possible (and very easy!)
|
|
to start running Linux from your hard drive WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE NORMAL
|
|
INSTALLATION ROUTINE! It will work with ANY CD-ROM that DOS can read. The only
|
|
assumption that the automated procedure makes,is that you have an IDE drive C:
|
|
with at least 20 MB of disk space to automatically put a Linux system with
|
|
X-windows on! We call this a Test Drive. After going through this, you can
|
|
add software by a normal "setup" procedure or you can decide to dedicate a
|
|
partition to Linux.
|
|
|
|
The Release 4 is based on the brand new release of Slackware 2.0.1 that is
|
|
considered by the author (Patrick Volkerding) to be very stable and a major
|
|
milestone. The full Slackware tree (145 MB compressed!) is provided as well
|
|
as the Slackware sources tree. And of course the Trans-Ameritech trademark
|
|
"live" filesystem that can be used to save disk space. In addition to the
|
|
many kernels of all flavors that come with Slackware, we provide a number of
|
|
kernels based on the post-code-freeze Linux kernel 1.1.50. It has many
|
|
desirable features not found in the 1.0.x kernels standard with most
|
|
distributions:
|
|
Considerable improvements in disk performance - SCSI and IDE
|
|
Support for huge IDE disks (over 1024 cylinders).
|
|
Support for the IDE CD-ROMs (NEC 260).
|
|
Standard support for UMSDOS filesystem.
|
|
Way too much more to list here.
|
|
|
|
The highlights of this release:
|
|
|
|
DOOM for Linux!!!
|
|
Read-only Double-Space filesystem!
|
|
NCR PCI SCSI.
|
|
IDE CD-ROM support.
|
|
TGIF - Xlib based interactive 2-D drawing facility under X11.
|
|
An X server for et4000/w32-based boards.
|
|
Software for the Ham Radio enthusiasts.
|
|
Two sets of compilers and libs - 4.4.4 and 4.5.26
|
|
Kernels from 1.0.9 to 1.1.50.
|
|
qfax 1.0
|
|
Jazz 1.0 - a comfortable MIDI sequencer
|
|
Easy configuration of Xwindows.

If you prefer to go through a much more flexible custom installation, an MSDOS
|
|
based program provided on the CD-ROM ("install.exe") will help you make the
|
|
right choice of a boot kernel depending on the hardware that you have and will
|
|
actually create the two floppies to be used for Linux installation.
|
|
Furthermore, the "setup" script modified by the Trans-Ameritech, will put the
|
|
kernel used during the installation on your hard disk for use with actual
|
|
operation. This guarantees that all the hardware that worked during the
|
|
installation will continue to work afterwards.
|
|
|
|
The important documentation is uncompressed and ready to read under DOS before
|
|
installing Linux on the CD-ROM.

Subject: how to set up my Linux box as a GATEWAY?
|
|
Date: Wed, 28 Sep 1994 00:40:28 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
Greetings, *.
|
|
|
|
I've put together a little home network, consisting of several DOS PC's
|
|
(running TCP/IP packages) and my Linux box. I have my own set of IP
|
|
addresses assigned from the NIC (192.160.60.xxx, Class C).
|
|
|
|
My Linux machine has a PPP connection (through a local Internet service
|
|
provider) to the rest of the Internet.
|
|
|
|
I would like my Linux box to act as a "gateway" between my local
|
|
network, and the rest of the Internet.
|
|
|
|
The details:
|
|
|
|
All of my machines are assigned addresses in the 192.160.60.xxx range.
|
|
|
|
My Internet service provider assigns my Linux box it's own address when
|
|
it dials in -- usually something like 199.201.128.101.
|
|
|
|
All of the DOS PC's are set so that they use my Linux box as the gateway
|
|
(i.e. if you try to use an IP address not on the local network, it gets
|
|
sent through the gateway).

Can anyone help me out here? How do I set up my /etc/rc.d/* scripts,
|
|
network configs (/etc/hosts, /etc/networks, etc.) for this configuration?
|
|
|
|
Please respond by email (picard@silcom.com) -- thanks!
