[ILUG-BOM] online monitoring of log files on gnu-linux, aix and hp-ux
by Trevor Warren 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Morning Guys/Gals, Me has an urgent need of advice from your end. Hoping for some pointers. For one of TCS's client we have configured Nagios and a host of other GPL'ed applns top aid him in Network Monitoring as part of a very large project. This last problem has me stumped. In my network consisting of purely AIX/Gnu-Linux/HP-UX i have to provide a single console for monitoring all logs and trigger an alert/alarm as soon as a particular message comes up in the logs. These logs will be both system and application logs and hence the messages to be tracked has to be customisable. Lemme know if someone has had this problem solved before or has any inkling of what appln we can make use of.

RAM Testing
by Rony Bill 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Dear Luggers, This is on topic. Has anyone developed a bootable floppy that only does the function of testing the RAM to simulate optimum operation conditions and give results if the RAM is good or bad. The problems with some RAMs is that they pass the bios test but make the system hang before starting the OS completely. It wastes a lot of time of the engineer to locate the problem as it could be due to a bad HDD, IDE cable or corrupted system files or RAM. Replacing the RAM is the only option available for testing it. The benchmarking programs that are available are platform dependent and need an OS to be loaded. If such a bootable floppy was available to test the RAM in full simulated operation then this would be very handy. Since the bios has drivers for the keyboard and floppy, no other drivers would be really needed and only the small RAM testing program would be needed on the bootable floppy. In future we can have other bootable floppies that test the CPU, motherboard and other devices *without loading any OS*. It would make life easier for the engineer. Regards, Rony.

[OT] My PC won't start...Please help!
by Sarfaraz Kazi 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Hi Linuxers, I've got this problem with my PC, it just refuses to start. The problem started a couple of days back. I was working on it and suddenly the entire system went off. I tried restarting, checked all the connections & cables. When I switch on the main power and press the power button on the cabinet, nothing happens. The motherboard LED comes on and the monitor LED blinks green but no chassis fan, no CPU fan, hard-disk not starting, nothing. System specs : AMD Duron 1.2 GHz ASUS A7N 266 VM mobo 128MB Hynix DDR SDRAM 20 GB Samsung HDD Samsung CDRW DAX LAN Card The SMPS was replaced only a month back. RAM was replaced 2 months ago. Fresh CMOS battery plugged in a week ago. The system is 2.5 years old. Sorry about the OT-ness and length of this post. If anybody could provide any help, I'll be infinitely thankful. TIA, Sarfaraz Kazi. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com

>>Question reframed<<
by BIJU KRISHNAN 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Hi all, Actually I had framed the question wrong in a jiffy.........thank you for the answers.. The problem i have observed with most of the mail servers in a corporate network is that there seems to be no authentication on the relay mail server........ I have observed that although the servers in the internal network of a corporate org have proper SMTP auth means, the relays or gateways for external mail delivery do not seem to authenticate the user. On such n/w's I'am able to send mail from xyz(a)copstop.com to abc(a)copstop.com using low level SMTP chat from home by telnet to port 25 to one of copstop.com's relay servers facing the internet. Where'as i'am not either of the two. The mail received by abc looks original but shows from : xyz(a)copstop.com to: <> undisclosed recipients in the header and logs. Is there a way out where I can stop mail from: xyz(a)copstop.com only when the relay server is accepting mails from other servers.(incoming) The gateway is using sendmail as an MTA. I would be happy to give any clarifications needed. Note : the internal mail servers consist of exchange, sendmail servers and lotus dominos....the auth means are different. the decentralization has been done coz each unit is different entity in itself. bye rgds biju --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Most fall under the category of > 'chelas' Once setup gnu/linux systems are quite boring u know. Spamassain knocks out a hundred spam mails from my vsnl pop mail (that is vsnl mails speciality allowing tons of spam). Clamav knocks out another hundred nematodes (actually pointless since those poor worms are quite harmless). The ocassional portscan is detected and yawn..... no blue screens, no illegal operations, no virus frenzies and now a days no hacked to death windoze is better than honey discussion on the list either. So as far as regular slow joe's usage is concerned gnu/linux simply works. It's really the setting up part that requires skill and support - not an everday task - my system was installed about 14 months ago. editing the source.list file and typing apt-get update;aptget upgrade is all that ive been doing for the past 14 months. the latest pakages for debian come from backports.org and a couple of other sites. As far as usage is concerned clicking mouse buttons hardly requires any training Well one 55++ yr old newbie to computers did require training on moving the mouse and took to GNU/Linux like a pro. Switch on and the browser opens onto some cricket site. Kmail opens up and downloads mails. Xmms starts playing some bhajans etc. etc. He wonders what are computer viruses and why everbody in his office are in such a state of terminal anxiety every few weeks. rgds jtd

KDE's networking features
by Amish Munshi 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Article on KDE's networking features at, http://osdir.com/Article2159.phtml KDE is, by design, a fully networked desktop. Network files are accessible as readily and easily as local files from most applications. This is accomplished through special protocol handlers built into KDE, known as I/O slaves. These handlers implement a specific network protocol such as HTTP, FTP, or IMAP, and transparently interact with applications when they try to open a URL that requires that protocol.

[OT] Saving Lives
by Rony Bill 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Dear Luggers, This is off topic. The recent fire at Sion had 3 casualties. A woman and her child took refuge in a lift to escape from the fire and reach the ground floor. However, just at that time, the building's power was switched off for safety and the two got trapped inside, inhaled poisonous gases and expired. To prevent such tragedies from happenning, lift manufacturers could provide a mechanical crank inside the lift to let the occupants slowly bring the lift up or down to a safe floor. If the doors are the automatic type, then a mechanical arrangement to open the door in case of an emerrgency. As a safety measure, the door will open only when the lift has aligned with any available floor. If you know people in this profession, please pass on this message to them. Regards, Rony.

Lug-Meets
by Rony Bill 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

Dear Luggers, With due respect, the topics that are selected for LUG meetings are mostly programming oriented. Technically that would come under a linux programers meet. Linux users need not be programmers, but simple users who use Linux for their daily computing activities. To make the meets interensting for them too, we could have non-programming linux usage topics too. This is just an expression of my thoughts. Any offence to anyone is regretted. Thanks and regards, Rony.
