recently.
I would like to know , how to find out whether I am

Hi friends,
I am not able to load X windows on my node. I have booted the diskless node
under LTSP and I tried to load X windows. The mother board is intel 810e chipset.
I have also tried with Trident SVGA card. I am briefing here under the messages
appeared on the screen using both cards. Also I am attaching the lts.conf file
for reference. Please guide me how to go further to get X loaded in node.
XFS is running on the server when given the command
ps aux | grep xfs, it shown as follows.

AFAIK, you can't ... unless someone decides to write a utility which will
do just that.
The best way is to create an rpm out of the tarball - it's rather
straightforward once you get the hang of how to create a spec-file. The
only hard part is creating the list of files in it, which specifies what
goes into the package. But that can be done by inspecting the output of
"make -n install" in the tarball.

Here's a rather painful hack ...
Assuming you still have the build trees with you, create a list of files
installed using "make -n install".
Use this list to create a spec file. Write the file so that rpm does
nothing during the configure and build stages. The only important part is
the files section, and somehow it must be able to figure out where the
build tree is!
Create rpm from the spec file and then do an "rpm -ivh --force"
Anybody got better ideas?
Maybe it is possible to use the rpm development library to write an app
that can directly modify the rpm database? It could take a spec file as
input and use the info to update the database ... maybe the library has a
perl module as well ...
Thank gawd I never install a tarball without creating an rpm first! ;-)

Should I do anything special to servers behind a NAT? For example,
connections to $IP on port 81 are redirected to $INTERNAL_IP on 80,
and it gives back data that indicates the real IP instead of 81...

As long as I can remember, I've had amnesia.
Hi,
I had configured it long time back. I dont remember , but i think there is
a login /registered user to be created on the server, and given adequate
permissions.

Subject: [ILUG-BOM] VPN help
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to install and configure the VPN network on my LAN. My
VPN server is on Linux machine(kernel 2.4.2). I am using pptpd
(http://poptop.lineo.com/) for this. I want to configure the n/w as
Linux/Win<-->Linux VPN<->Internet<->Linux VPN<--Linux/Win
Client Server Server Client
but just for the begining I installed only one server(kernel 2.4.2 with
pptpd) and on Win98 client trying to connect it.
Linux VPN Server<----->Win98 client
192.168.0.32 192.168.0.0.112
But I'm not able connect.Both the machines are on the same LAN(using
simple hubs not switches).The error I'm getting as below.
/usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
/usr/sbin/pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it
to use to do so.
/usr/sbin/pppd: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP
address.)
Please help me.I'm stuck on this for a whole week.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Colleague,
This is to remind you about the following event.
Regards,
- Durgesh, for ACM Mumbai
ACM Seminar
Friday, September 21, 2001 - 6:30 p.m.
Title: Firewalls, simple & easy: IPFilter
Speaker: Vivek Nallur (NCST)
Venue: Lecture Theatre, NCST, Juhu
Abstract: "The internet was created as an experiment. The experiment has
failed" - Tsutomu Shimomura
The Internet is currently a system administrator's nightmare, what with
snoopy folks perennially sniffing around the place looking for systems to
break into and steal the 'family silver'. What began as a dream for
scientists, researchers and artists, has become a nightmare for the
knights in geek's clothing.
One of the more potent weapons at the disposal of these knights is the
firewall. Its etymological roots unknown, the current usage stems from
Steve Bellovin's email to Phil Karn regarding some security device. The
first recorded usage in print is in Stafford and Garfinkel's book on
Practical UNIX Security, published in 1990. Simply put, a firewall is a
system that enforces an access control policy between two networks.
This seminar explores the installation and usage of a commonly used
firewall, IPFilter.
About the Speaker: Vivek Nallur passes under the guise of a scientist in
the KBCS division at NCST. He pretends to be pre-occupied with issues in
Data Mining, Chaos Theory and Genetic Algorithms, whilst ogling at his
beloved computer all day. He's passionate about girls, patterns and
reading (in no particular order).

How do I tell rpm that I have installed some packages from tgz? It
refuses to install software that requires these files. With rpm, I can
use nodeps, but with redcarpet, I cannot. RedCarpet requires all
dependencies to be met.
