It is possible to start RPC programs from inetd instead of having
|
|
them running all the time. However, if I add
|
|
|
|
nfs/2 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.nfsd rpc.nfsd
|
|
mountd/1 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.mountd rpc.moun
|
|
|
|
to /etc/inetd.conf and restart inetd, it doesn't work. why?
|
|
|
|
rstatd/1-3 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.rstatd rpc.rsta
|
|
|
|
doesn't work either (If rstatd is started from inetd, it causes
|
|
portmapper on the server and rstat on the client (linux) machine to go
|
|
berserk).
|
|
|
|
|
|
however, these RPC programs do work when started from inetd:
|
|
|
|
rusersd/2-3 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.rusersd rpc.ruse
|
|
walld/1 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.rwalld rpc.rwal
|
|
pcnfs/1-2 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.pcnfsd rpc.pcnf
|
|
|
|
|
|
*walld acts funny on my system, but it does the same thing whether I start
|
|
it from inetd or not.

Probably "root" is in more than 8 groups on your machine. Many older
|
|
NFS servers, including SOSS, don't like this.
|
|
|
|
Edit /etc/group to remove root from some groups, logout, login again,
|
|
then try again.

Why on Earth are you backing up your /proc file system? It's meaningless.
|
|
|
|
If you use GNU tar, you can use the -l option to stay within one file system,
|
|
and not back up /proc.

Sorry, this is wrong. There are 2 speeds here; the first is the line speed
|
|
the modems talk to each other at (DCE<->DCE rate), the second is the speed
|
|
your machine talks to your modem (DTE<->DCE rate).
|
|
|
|
The Sporster, as the 14400 implies, is capable of a line speed of 14.4k/s
|
|
(V32bis). It's also capable of 9.6K (V32) and lower. When 2 V32bis modems
|
|
connect, they can test the line to see what maximum line speed it's quality
|
|
will support.
|
|
|
|
Compression comes in 2 flavours; MNP 5 and V42bis. MNP 5 is capable,
|
|
theoretically, of 2:1 compression, so you can drive a modem that's
|
|
connected at 14.4k (DCE rate) at 28.8 (DTE rate). V42bis theoretically
|
|
manages a max of 4:1 compression, so you can drive the modem at 57.6k.
|
|
Both of these are optimistic top ends and should be taken with a
|
|
pinch of salt, in practise.
|
|
|
|
V42bis is generally considered the better of the 2 protocols, as MNP 5
|
|
can actually cause a performance drop when transferring compressed files.
|
|
V42bis is "smart" enough to know that the file is already compressed, and
|
|
doesn't try to compress it any further. However, I've seen reports that
|
|
MNP 5 is better at compressing UUencoded files than V42bis.
|
|
|
|
Both compression schemes require error correction to be in operation.
|
|
MNP 2-4 are used with MNP 5, and LAP-M is used with V42bis.
|
|
|
|
Your modem should be configured to try for a "best possible" connection
|
|
first (V32bis/V42/V42bis), and to only drop back from this if a) the line
|
|
quality won't support it, b) the other end's modem doesn't support it.
|
|
All modems capable of it should be set for RTS/CTS hardware handshaking,
|
|
(&H1,&I0,&R2 on the Sportster, I *think*) as opposed to Xon/Xoff, if
|
|
supported. At a DCE - DCE rate of 14.4k, the DTE-DCE rate should be at
|
|
least 38.4k *provided* that you don't get hardware overruns at this speed,
|
|
as these kill TCP/IP throughput.
|
|
|
|
I'm afraid it's a case or RTFM to configure the modem to do this.

If that's compressed files, it's about right. If it's text, it's low.

Hello Linux friends. I am having problems with NFS-exporting to a
|
|
domain. My /etc/exports looks like this (abbreviated)
|
|
|
|
/usr ramius(rw,link_absolute) ahab(rw)
|
|
/usr/nuars w9bgx.nuars.nwu.edu(rw)
|
|
/usr/linux *.nwu.edu(ro)
|
|
/ solo(rw)
|
|
|
|
I have tried with the ancient nfsd I had on my system, which fails
|
|
with a strange error (cannot get root inode, and a lot of other
|
|
veribage) and nfs-server-2.0 from the sunacm directory on sunsite,
|
|
which fails with a permission denied when I try it from other hosts in
|
|
the *.nwu.edu domain.
|
|
|
|
Is this a known problem, and if so, what do I need to do to fix it?
|
|
This system will hopefully be used by our incoming freshmen to install
|
|
Linux on their machines in the fall, so I'm quite eager to get this
|
|
running. My network admin has vetod exporting it to the world, so I
|
|
need this working.
|
|
|

Humongous thanks in advance,

kill -9 PID and that didn't stop it,. Nothing would stop it and

a reset was the only thing that would. ctrl-alt-del would not

even work. That was with 1.1.48. So, I'd like to know how

|
|
|
Then you're probably a victim of a braindead default configuration. A
|
|
port at 0x3bc usually uses IRQ 7.
|
|
|
|
But please check that you don't have another port (usually at 0x378)
|
|
that uses IRQ 7 as well. This is a HARDWARE problem, you have to check
|
|
the jumpering of the ports; not using one of the conflicting ports does
|
|
not help.
|
|
|
|
For a usual configuration, you have to edit drivers/net/Space.c and to
|
|
change the IRQ for plip0 to 7.

The configuration commands are completely correct and sufficient.
|
|
|
|
I saw another reply talking something of necessary setup and PPP...
|
|
Disregard that posting, the poster doesn't know what PLIP is.

|

AFAIK, they are _not_ compatible. Try using the same kernel version on
|
|
both machines. I'm not entirely sure at what kernel version the
|
|
protocol change occurred.

No.

Heard that there is such a thing. How well does it
|
|
work? Any specific version of the Kernel required for
|
|
it to work? Any infos would be appreciated.
|
|
|
|
Also, any ideas which CD are good and how to get them?
|
|
(I mean CD's of Linux distributions -- please also
|
|
include the CD of slackware distribution)
|
|
|

Thanks in advance

Subject: Using an Exabyte with Linux

Hi together,
|
|
|
|
I just have had a little bit of luck and got an used Exabyte streamer
|
|
from my company (for nearly no $$ :-) ).
|
|
Unfortunately it seems that linux don't like such a beast :-(
|
|
I plugged it in and everything seems to be okay. While booting the
|
|
kernel tells me Target 5 Exabyte Model: EXB-8200 Rev. 4.25 SCSI-1
|
|
But when I try to access the device nothing happens.
|
|
The streamer had been connected to an old SUN but I haven't got any
|
|
documentation. Did I miss something or doesn't Linux support Exabytes?
|
|
|
|
By the way, of cause I created the device files.
|
|
|
|
Any clues
|
|
|

Just before summer I saw a posting somewhere stating a security hole in
|
|
smail v3.1.28.1 causing the "mail-bouncer" to run scripts as root...
|
|
Does anybody know anything about this one, or is it a misconfigure on this
|
|
particular guys site ?
|
|
I'd like some more info to track it down if it really *is* a hole here...
|

Tell me if you know anything, please !
