hi saswata/amish, Agreed the no. of clients would depend on the chip and other stuff. This solution is only possible with win3k right. Actually speakin in the current system i ran multi user tally with wine, but over time the data got corrupt again and again., so then switched to vmware. Do you guys have any more ideas other thn win3k server ?

query rgd linux kernel compilation
by chirag radhakrishnan 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

Hi, I have a problem regarding kernel re-compilation. I am trying to use SLES over intel platform servers with SCSI HDD. This server has got 4 CPU's and around 1 GB RAM. I have this application which I am trying to install, the documentation of which mentions linux kernel to be in non-smp mode.By default SLES ,whenever it detects more than 1 CPU goes into smp mode of kernel. When I am trying to reinstall the kernel by passing parameter "nosmp" the server smoothly goes through the entire installation, but after the final reboot, goes into kernel panic. Initially I though that I am choosing the wrong filesystem for /boot, but later on I tried with ext2 and resierfs to find the same end result. worst part is that if I try to boot this very system(installed with nosmp) with a bootable cd, it boots, shows all the partitions as they were created during the installation. Now things that I need to know from you people 1. what are the right parameters to be passed when installing kernel without SMP, is nosmp the only paramter or do I need to specify maxcpu also? 2. when I give a specific paramter to the kernel installation, does it ignore other default parameters (like say reiserfs modules, scsi modules, ethernet modules). 3. what is the difference between installing a module into the kernel and installing a module outside kernel (if there is anything like that ) thanks in advance Chirag __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

hi Saswata , i am sorry for the confussion. Now to my problem , i dont want my users to work in windows, i ran tally 5.4 using wne. it works ok but has some printing problems and also the data gets corrupted every now and then . the data of tally is located centrally on the server they user the mutli login version of tally, i also have tally on samba and at this point of time i have asked them to use vmware. but vmware is slow. In that qoute of urs u said somethin like haveing a win3k server and having remote multiple clients on linux. i am interested in implementing something like tht. As for our current setting we are using KDM for all the users, all the users log into the server and do stuff. These terminal emulation software that u spoke of will they allow me to connect to a win3k server ?

Thunderbird works / command line mail does not
by Soumen Dass 06 Mar '05

Hi, On my FC1 I'm able to receive & send mails using thunderbird but sending mail by /bin/mail does not work. I'm using a MTNL dialup account. I use fetchmail+postfix to receive my mail at /var/mail/<username> which I read using thunderbird. In thunderbird I have configured smtp.mtnl.net.in as my outgoing server which can delivery mails successfully (I have also provided my mtnl username & password in my thunderbird smtp setup). When I tried to send mail using "mail -s <testing> <recipient>" style command, the /var/log/maillog shows this: <--------> Mar 5 21:09:02 nova postfix/nqmgr[629]: B812AA3BE: from=<soumen(a)localhost.localdomain>, size=309, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 5 21:09:02 nova postfix/nqmgr[629]: 0D49BA3C1: from=<soumen(a)localhost.localdomain>, size=406, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 5 21:09:03 nova postfix/smtp[24405]: connect to smtp.mtnl.net.in[202.159.228.8]: No route to host (port 25) Mar 5 21:09:03 nova postfix/smtp[24405]: B812AA3BE: to=<dass_soumen(a)yahoo.com>, relay=none, delay=731, status=deferred (connect to smtp.mtnl.net.in[202.159.228.8]: No route to host) Mar 5 21:09:06 nova postfix/smtp[24406]: connect to smtp.mtnl.net.in[202.159.228.8]: No route to host (port 25) Mar 5 21:09:06 nova postfix/smtp[24406]: 0D49BA3C1: to=<dass_soumen(a)yahoo.com>, relay=none, delay=460, status=deferred (connect to smtp.mtnl.net.in[202.159.228.8]: No route to host) <--------> Output of mailq is : <--------> -Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient------- B812AA3BE 309 Sat Mar 5 20:56:52 soumen(a)localhost.localdomain (connect to smtp.mtnl.net.in[202.159.228.8]: No route to host) dass_soumen(a)yahoo.com 0D49BA3C1 406 Sat Mar 5 21:01:26 soumen(a)localhost.localdomain (connect to smtp.mtnl.net.in[202.159.228.8]: No route to host) dass_soumen(a)yahoo.com -- 1 Kbytes in 2 Requests. <--------> Output of route is: <--------> Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 203.94.227.17 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 203.94.227.17 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 <--------> My impression of the above is that, mail is not able to find the route using which it should deliver the mail to the smtp server.

Even words look like decorative filigrees in exotic typefaces. The greatest icon of all, the inviolable Apple itself, stands in the dominate position at the upper-left corner of the screen. A central corporate headquarters decrees the form of all rites and practices. Infalliable doctrine issues from one executive officer whose selection occurs in a sealed boardroom. Should anyone in his curia question his powers, the offender is excommunicated into outer darkness. The expelled heretic founds a new company, mutters obscurely of the coming age and the next computer, then disappears into silence, taking his stockholders with him. The mother company forbids financial competition as sternly as it stifles ideological competition; if you want to use computer programs that conform to Apple's orthodoxy, you must buy a computer made and sold by Apple itself. -- Edward Mendelson, "The New Republic", February 22, 1988

Testing a lock on a file.
by Sneh D 06 Mar '05

06 Mar '05

Hi all, I need a method to do the following process. a) I am populting a table in my database (which is on Oracle 9.0 on RHEL) using a.DAT file. This .DAT file is received by an FTP on my server and a scheduler program starts populating my table as soon as the file is received. b) One process on SERVER A FTPes the .DAT file on SERVER B. As soon as the FTP Process creates an image of the file on the destination server B, the process of server B is triggered while the FTP is taking place. c) Since the correct number of records are not recieved in the file in SERVER B the process in SERVER B abandones itself and the table is not properly populated. Is there a way in which i can find out (using a shell script) whether the .DAT file has been locked for FTP or not? Kindly suggest a way out. Regards, Sneh.

Debian Sarge alsa and sata problems

Hey, I installed Debian sarge a while ago but am still facing 2 problems: 1) I have a 160 GB seagate sata hard drive, but during startup it fails to mount it ( I've added lines to /etc/fstab ). But when I manually mount it later after the startup it works fine. I'm guessing the SCSI modules probably load after the automount process ? 2) I have a C-Media chipset PCI soundcard , which won't show up in the volume control ( I also have an onboard intel soundcard ) or aumix or any of the mixers but lsmod does show me that its modules are loaded. Is it a problem with X or with my sound modules ? But then again, when I force-reload the modules using the alsa script ( /etc/init.d/alsa force-reload ) all the modules are loaded back and I have the soundcard mixer settings being shown in the volume control section etc. I currently use the 2.6.9-2.smp kernel which I downloaded from an unstable apt mirror ( iit-bom ) and I suppose the 2.6 kernels come with the alsa modules.I also tried installing the alsa-base and utils packages separately listed out in apt, but the problem still persists. I want to use my PCI soundcard as the default ( which happens after I force-reload ) but doesn't on startup. Could anyone guide me on this ? Sorry for such a lenghty post. Cheers Abhijeet

Microsoft generally has tie-ups with third party for posting articles. If you see the source you will find that in this case its cineclick.com.br.

Killing a tcp socket
by Shahed Moolji 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Hi all, This may sound like a stupid question, but is there a utility by which I can kill an open tcp remote client socket connection , without killing the server process ? Eg, A remote client connects to a server. The server has no interface to disconnect the client. I do a netstat and get the IP address and socket of the client. Now I want to disconnect the client, so I want to issue something like $ killsocket <remoteip> <remotesocket>. Is there anyway by which I can do this ? Thanks Shahed.

My own 90 paise (overvalued): As long as the popular system is a synergy between GNU and Linux, one way (that I suggested a long time back in this group) out of the slash dilemma is to merge the two terms and call it Gnull (pronounced g'null, to differentiate it from null, the essential nothingness, a breathtaking acknowledgment of its holism). And since the Hurd is apparently popular with people who are currently fiercely technically minded, the combination should be called Gnurd (pronounced nerd, about which no comment is necessary). As to GNU being still under development, I think its fantastic beauty is that the development will never stop. -- Vickram

The most recent version of this essay can be found at http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Linux_PR/newlug.html. Recipe for a Successful Linux User Group by Rick Moen See the full essay online ****** Really good. -FN 1. You need a Web page. 2. Your Web page needs a reasonable URL. 3. You need a regular meeting location. 4. You need a regular meeting time. 5. You need to avoid meeting-time conflicts. 6. You need to make sure that meetings happen as advertised, without fail. 7. You need a core of several Linux enthusiasts. 8. Your core volunteers need out-of-band methods of communication. 9. You need to get on the main lists of LUGs, and keep your entries accurate. * http://www.ssc.com/glue/ * http://lugww.counter.li.org/ * http://nlug.org/webring/ * http://www.redhat.com/apps/community/LUG/ * http://www.linux.org/groups/ * http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Linux/User_Groups/ * http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Software/ Operating_Systems/Unix/Linux/User_Groups/ 10. You must have login access to maintain your Web pages, as needed. 11. Design your Web page to be forgiving of deferred maintenance. 12. Always include the day of the week, when you cite event dates. Always check that day of the week, first, using gcal [2] (or cal). gcal is your friend. 13. Place time-sensitive and key information prominently near the top of your main Web page. 14. Include maps and directions to your events. 15. Emphasise on your main page that your meeting will be free of charge and open to the public (if it is). 16. You'll want to include an RSVP "mailto" hyperlink, on some events. 17. Use referral pages. 18. Make sure every page has a revision date and maintainer link. 19. Check all links, at intervals. 20. You may want to consider establishing a LUG mailing list. 21. You don't need to be in the Internet Service Provider business. 22. Don't go into any other business, either. 23. Walk the walk. LUG checklist. The following checklist may be useful for your group, once established. 1. Web page: a. Meetings: [ ] Current meeting info? Is it prominent? [ ] Day of the week? Beginning time? Ending time? [ ] Double-checked day/date matches against a calendar? (E.g., is the "Friday, March 28" you listed an error, because the 28th is a Thursday?) [ ] Location? [ ] Map? [ ] Directions (car, public transit)? Parking tips? [ ] Information on the next several meetings? [ ] RSVP mailto link on meetings where this is needed? [ ] Note that meetings are free and open to the public (if they are)? [ ] If there's a special fee, is it disclosed next to the event listing? [ ] If location / time / date formula has changed recently, is this noted prominently? [ ] Have you checked for event conflicts with other nearby groups, or with holidays? b. General: [ ] Includes event date-formulas (e.g., 4th Tuesdays)? Prominently? [ ] Maintainer mailto link? [ ] Last-revised date? c. Periodically (maybe every quarter): [ ] Checked all links on your site for dead links? [ ] Checked your Web server's logs for pages requested but not found? (You'll want to put a referral page at that URL.) [ ] Read all your Web content attentively for outdated content? 2. Other, periodical: [ ] Reviewed/updated all LUG lists that have entries concerning your group? [ ] Reviewed all sites that link to yours? Advised their webmasters of needed corrections? Last revised: 2003-08-04 Having seen (and run) quite a few Linux user groups (LUGs), and observed some thrive and others die, I can hazard some firm recommendations. If you're thinking of starting a LUG, or are running one now, please ponder these lessons, drawn from other LUGs' experience.

In second stage, perhaps you can have a Win3K server with remote desktop client running on Linux to give access to the VB Software. We worked that succssfully in an office with 75+ users.

Fingerprint reader and attendance system
by Bilal Ahmed Mazhar 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi All Is there anyone who recommend me any biometric device for designing fingerprint based attendance recording system? I want to go for hardware only and software will be designed inhouse because all parties are selling windows based software which can be operated from one machine. I want to design it in PHP/MYSQL (i.e browser based) can be operated from anywhere. I need only device and import/export data software. I had some demo but dealers are quite confused to give it to Linux system. They recommend me to export data through windows system which I don't need. Data import/export should be automated by shell script. Any recommendation for device and dealers will be highly appreciated. Regards, Bilal Ahmed Mazhar

Occassionally you may get a burst of speed when the channel is relatively less cluttered. Unless you are guaranteed in writing of a fixed continuos bandwidth, all the promises are rubbish. In fact a 9600bps gsm connection (not gprs) works far better than any of the shared schemes. Of course you are charged Rs.4 per minute. rgds jtd

ready to Samba ?
by Pillai, Gishu R (GE Energy) 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi Network card is up and running. A big thanks to all the ppl who pitched in .. esp. Binulal and jtd. I then planned my next big jump. Installed Samba and reached my next dead end. This time it appears to be a common problem. Use google with the search string as "samba no service destination end-point" or http://news.cbn.net.id/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=article <http://news.cbn.net.id/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=article&group=comp.os.linux.net…> &group=comp.os.linux.networking&item=121336&utag= I am getting the same response. Couldn't get far with the docs either. Also was curious which user account would Samba use. Do I need to create a specific user account on the machine from where I access the share on the Linux box.... Also smbstatus gives me a cryptic lock error #Samba version 2.2.5 #Service uid gid pid machine #---------------------------------------------- #Can't initialise locking module - exiting Gishu Pillai

Changing MTU values
by anandraj soni 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

I use reliance connection to access internet and their dialer too. I dont know why, but any other way fails to connect me to internet (like wvdial, kppp or pppd on command line). I am able to connect to internet at a very slow speed as against that in windoz. Also, it shows a very low value of MTU (264). I tried to change it in /etc/ppp/options to "mtu 1500", but whenever I connect again, the values get vanished (gayab). How do I change the MTU values? Or get faster internet? And one more thing, I always need to be root to run the reliance dialer (even switching to root is of no use) and changing permissions does no good. How do I make it run by a normal user (or even after su to root). Anandraj Soni.

You need a static ip address. So it means u have misconifigured your network for a dynamic ip. > I ran the Internet Configuration Wizard but to no avail. That is the problem with these wizards - only a wizard can use it. You need to setup static ip and enter the ip manually Here is my /etc/network/interfaces file (this is the file which holds the ips etc in Debian GNU/linux). auto eth0 eth1 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 198.168.0.0 broadcast 198.168.0.255 gateway 198.168.0.1 You will have to find out where your file is (afaik in RH it is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0) > Do I need > to manually turn on DHCP or something ?

The modem works peacefully under Win98 and XP Get one thing absolutely clear here and now. Check first if some hardware is supported under GNU/linux. If it is not dont buy it. The specs to write the drivers are not made available cause the mfg wants to fleece u in cahoots with crooked companies like m$. And if it works under windoze stick to that and suffer the consequences. Also you should switch to debian it is the easiest to configure. rgds jtd

Hey guys, we're looking for MySQL ops folks. Skills required: 1. Ability to understand the instructions in this mail 2. You gotta rock* at mysql administration (sorry, if you pop, hip hop, rap or disco, you're not good enough) 3.

Vulnerability in RHEL 4 kernel: FYI
by Rakesh 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

I recently came across a vulnerability in the recently released RHEL v4 (http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12599/discussion/). Would like to advice guys who have bought or planning to buy the RHEL v4 to see into the Redhat advisory RHSA-2005:092-14 to address the issue. Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel is reported prone to multiple vulnerabilities. These issues may allow local attackers to carry out denial of service attacks and gain elevated privileges. The following specific issues were identified: The Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel is reported prone to two local denial of service vulnerabilities. Another issue affecting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel 4GB/4GB split patch can allow local attackers to read and write to arbitrary kernel memory. These issues are reported to affect the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel. -- Regards, Rakesh B. Pal Emergic CleanMail Team. Netcore Solutions Pvt.

The last time I checked, the thing was supported until RHL 7.1 Why was this model singled out like this ? The modem works peacefully under Win98 and XP My current Setup is M/c 1 : winXP with a lan card M/c 2 : Win98 with a lan card and a dial up modem. RHL 8 on dual boot I eventually want to remove Win98 from m/c 2 provided that everything that used to work still does. Regards, Gishu -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers

Moot point. Doubt anyone running windose will ever have the time from patch-format-reinstall to actually do a case study in anything. Why cant they hire coders in lieu of case study guys to actually fix the sh**. Ahh i forget if they do fixit who will buy longhorn or whatever is the next version extruded from that pandora's company.
