Router Config Confuses me
by Mel Seder 15 Oct '02

15 Oct '02

D-Link DI-701 I have three open ports that I added using the vserv command of my router's software. I can use all the other main ports ie 80, 25 and various IM programs and I never had to go in and add these ports to the open list. The show command doesn't show ports 80 or 25 as being open. How do some programs have the ability to use these ports without them being in the allowed list and others such as ftp (20 & 21) need to be added with the vserv command? ===== MelSeder(a)yahoo.com "The sooner you make five thousand mistakes, the sooner you will be able to correct them." - Kimon Nicolaides __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sendmail or nameserver problems?
by Raymond J. Henry 14 Oct '02

14 Oct '02

After setting up chroot jail, I noticed a problem with my mail inbound and outbound for sub-domains. I have multiple domains on my server, some with sub-domians. The primary domain mail traffic is not effected by this latest problem, just the sub-domains. The system is runing RH 7.1. Users of the sub-domains access their mail via Squirrel mail. Here's an example of one of my DNS zone entries: $TTL 3D @ IN SOA ns1.manitobamall.net. root.manitobamall.net. ( 12 ; Serial 1H ; Refresh 2H ; Retry 4W ; Expire 1D) ; Minimum TTL ; NS ns1 MX 10 mail; ; A 206.45.64.137 ns1 A 206.45.64.137 www A 206.45.64.137 mail A 206.45.64.137 winnipeg A 206.45.64.137 www.winnipeg A 206.45.64.137 me2u.winnipeg A 206.45.64.137 www.me2u.winnipeg A 206.45.64.137 maac A 206.45.64.137 www.maac A 206.45.64.137 mpa A 206.45.64.137 www.mpa A 206.45.64.137 The sub-domains are reflected in /etc/mail/local-host-names. Attempting to send mail to a sub-domain results in this showing on my server end: qfg9ELg9X01184 Mon, 14 Oct 2002 16:33:33 -0500 "Raymond J. Henry" <rayhenry(a)mts.net> <rhenry(a)maac.manitobamall.net> 2 b host map: lookup (maac.manitobamall.net) deferred So, the mail appears to be be arriving at my server, and then being "deferred". Attempts to force the queue (/usr/lib/sendmail -v -q) result in: Running /var/spool/mqueue/g9ELg9X01184 (sequence 1 of 4) <rhenry(a)maac.manitobamall.net>... maac.manitobamall.net: Name server timeout <rhenry(a)maac.manitobamall.net>... Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery Last time I *know* that mail for the sub-domains was working was last weekend, so this has just come up since then. No changes have been made to sendmail or DNS entries. The only changes on the server was to set up the chroot jail stuff, and I can't see how that would effect this... What am I missing?????

Red Hat has some guys in an rv touring around starting October 31. Maybe they might be persuaded to visit MUUG ? Maybe they'll bring some free goodies. Anyway, we'll get to tell them what we like/dislike about Red Hat and how to run Red Hat. They need our advice! It's the best advice they can get and I'm sure we'll enjoy giving it to them!

New Video Card
by Brock Wolfe 08 Oct '02

08 Oct '02

Its time to upgrade the linux box to go with a new RH 8.0 install. High end gaming performance (frame rate) is not required, but would like to run at 1600x1200x24bit colour (at least) for vector and bit map graphics editting. Any opinions on a good video card (re: stable linux drivers).

by Vijay Sankar 07 Oct '02

07 Oct '02

Good day, I was wondering about the following. What do Write_Store, LSRegister, and LSRecentTool do on a Mac OS X Server? I have searched the usual places (Google, Apple, etc.) but there does not seem to be any information. Please let know if you have any pointers or URL's or any information that you may wish to share on this. Thanks very much, Vijay Vijay Sankar, M.Eng., P.Eng.

XMMS and Red Hat 8.0 (psyche)
by Mel Seder 02 Oct '02

02 Oct '02

Note copied from front page of xmms.org ---------------------------------------- if you are using Redhat 8 and the supplied RPMS of XMMS you will find that it is not possible to load any mp3 files. Redhat was supposed to have a placeholder plugin informing you of the change, but that seems to have gone missing. Available >> here << is some additional information and a mpg123 RPM for Redhat 8 installation of XMMS. Hopefully, I've made myself clear on this subject, since Redhat apparently failed to get their message through. Note to Notting: egg->face Thomas Nilsson ( thomas at xmms.org ) ---------------------------------------- When you go to the site >> here << will take you to a link to get the new RPM version of XMMS. Just do a "rpm -Uvh xmms..." to install it. On my system I had to set the output plugin to be "OSS Driver 1.2.7" and now it works fine. ===== MelSeder(a)yahoo.com "The sooner you make five thousand mistakes, the sooner you will be able to correct them." - Kimon Nicolaides __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Why *.i386.rpm?
by Glen Ditchfield 02 Oct '02

02 Oct '02

I've got RedHat 7.3 on an old computer with an AMD K6-2 processor. Looking through /var/log/rpmpkgs, I see that nearly every package came from an i386 rpm. The exceptions are kernel-2.4.18-10.i586.rpm and xmame-0.57.1-2.i586.rpm. gcc 2.96 supports -march=k6, but the gcc info file doesn't say much. Is there any difference between -march=k6 and the intel equivalent (which would be -march=i586, I think)? Are there any programs that would benefit from recompilation for the k6 or i586? I expect XFree86 would be able to make use of the MMX instructions. How about AMD's 3DNow extensions?
