tar withing find acts strangly !!
by Dilip M 28 Feb '04

28 Feb '04

Hi , I have 3 file system. / , /usr and /var. I'm trying to backup them using tar command like this : find / -xdev -exec tar cvf root.tar {} \; According to above commond , since i have mentioned '-xdev' for find, find should list files and dir related to '/' file system only. If i try only " find / -xdev" , this list files and dir as expected.That is it lists only files within '/' File system. But when i use tar within find,i'm getting /usr and /var tared too !! How could i solve this ? Regards -Dilip ---------

As far as migration planning is concerned - the biggest advantages/savings are in the largest and most important(in terms of deployment) applications-so why start with a trivial application? you could argue that they shld have some comfort before they go for the 'big one' , but hey - there's already enuff working implementations out there now. regds, kishor __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hi We've developed and released some software on GNU/Linux which is licensed with GPL and I wanted to upload it to some website like SourceForge for the world to access and 'hopefully' benefit. ;-) Anyone on this list done it before? Anyone care to share their experiences before I take the plunge? ;-) Are there other sites that I should submit it to that would help the community? Regards Rishi

Help me out Sendmail Guru's
by Paresh N Patel 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Hi All: I am working on securing sendmail server and facing some problem. Below are more details about my server setup and configuration. I am using Red Hat Linux distro with sendmail version 8.12.10. On sendmail server, I had turn on LOGIN and PLAIN authentication mechanism, so that people who are using outlook express or Mozilla can successfully able to authenticate and able to send mail using my sendmail SMTP. I am having no problem at all with sendmail everything is working fine. My users are able to successfully authenticate and send and receive mail using my SMTP / POP3. Now, I have two users named Jack and Jill Jack has configured his outlook express with his profile and email id as jack(a)mydomain.com. While specifying SMTP server he has selected option "My Server requires Authentication " Now he creates a mail and tries to send it. He is prompted to specify user id and password for authenticating at my SMTP server. He puts his userid - jack and his password - ****. And mail is successfully delivered. The restriction I want to put in sendmail is as below. ===================================== Jack creates another mail and tries to send it. Again he is prompted to specify user id and password for authenticating at my SMTP server. Now this time he puts jill's userid and jill's password- ****. The SMTP server authenticates and accepts mail delivery. I don't want to allow jack(a)mydomain.com user to use authentication credential of any other user and able to delivery mail. I must check that if the username, which is being authenticated, is jack then the email address must contain jacks (ie jack(a)mydomain.com). Else don't accept mail delivery. ================== when I opened sendmail.cf I found something like this. But failed to manage what I want to do. ###################################################################### ### trust_auth: is user trusted to authenticate as someone else? ### Parameters: ### $1: AUTH= parameter from MAIL command ###################################################################### SLocal_trust_auth Strust_auth R$* $: $&{auth_type} $| $1 # required by RFC 2554 section 4. R$@ $| $* $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 not authenticated" R$* $| $&{auth_authen} $@ identical R$* $| <$&{auth_authen}> $@ identical R$* $| $* $: $1 $| $>"Local_trust_auth" $2 R$* $| $#$* $#$2 R$* $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 " $&{auth_authen} " not allowed to act as " $&{auth_author} ############# Can anyone give me hint as I don't know to play with sendmail rule sets.

Hi, > But I cannot configure Networking to connect My Host PC (Win XP) > with the virtual Linux machine..... Try the following: Create your virtual machine with host-only networking. Use ipconfig on Windows to check the IP address that vmware has automatically assigned to VMNet1 - say it's 192.168.11.1. When setting up the Linux box make sure you assign the network card a static IP on the same subnet - say 192.168.11.10 and make sure the subnet is set to 255.255.255.0. (I presume the problem you were having was due to this - i.e. mismatching subnets) That's all there is to it - at least it works for me :-) I also tend to put the virtual machine name & IP into my \WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to allow me to use it by name.

Installing linux on DELL Inspiron 1100 Laptop
by Salil Wadhavkar 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Hi everyone I am Salil, presently in Philadelphia but originally from Mumbai. I am a complete newbie to Linux. I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop 1100 with windows XP as the OS. I wish to install Linux on it but keep XP. I do not have a floopy drive on my computer. Is it possible to install Linux without having to uninstall XP? What is the best way to proceed? The reason I don't want to uninstall XP is that certain hardware (Wireless LAN Adapter - TrueMobile 1300 802.11g made by Broadcomm) and power management features are not supported on Linux platform. Some wireless LAN card driver is out there but it is commercial and expensive. Can someone help ? Thank you. Regards, Salil.

Networking in VMware....
by suhas prabhu 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

Dear Friends, Last week I tried the VMware Workstation 4 software on Windows XP ( Appologies to all Microsoft Haters...). I created a virtual machine with a network adapter and loaded RedHat Linux 9 on it. But I cannot configure Networking to connect My Host PC (Win XP) with the virtual Linux machine. I tried Bridge Networking and also Host-Only Networking Options but Nothing seems to work. The linuxVirtual Machine configures the NIC perfectly. I gave it a static IP address which works but with DHCP it does not get any IP address ( No link present....). Also with static IP address it does not ping to my Host PC. I read the VMware manual but found no detailed explaination of the networking Part. I also have VMware WS 4 for Linux/UNIX Host but it does not install correctly on RedHat Linux 9, maybe the installer package is corrupt... It would be nice if someone can give me any pointers or details of how exactly networking is configured in VMware WS 4 between a virtual machine and a physical machine. Thanking in advance, Regards, Suhas Yahoo! India Insurance Special: Be informed on the best policies, services, tools and more.

SAMBA Query
by joel_divekar 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

Hi All We have Win2000 as PDC doing authentication of all our network users and we wish to replace it with Samba server or any other alternative which will do the similar job. Now I have installed Samba server but I am facing the following problems a) Client authentication is not happening at the startup. But we browse the network neighbourhood and double click on the Samba it is accepting the login name & password. What I need is that at startup client is authenticated by the Samba server itself. b) Samba server networks runs only as WORKGROUP and not like DOMAIN Can anybody guide me to FAQ or Tutorial or some alternative where I could nearly replicate my existing Win2000 server so I can dump it as soon as possible.

MS Virtual PC & Linux
by Shahed Moolji 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hi, Has anyone used Microsofts Virtual PC s/w to host Linux as a guest O/s ? The MS Website docs only mention other Win O/s's that can be run, but some other pages also mention linux. I would normally use VMWare, but I just want to know if anyone on this list has actually used VPC, and how it compares to VMWare, for Linux. Thanks Shahed.

Hi I would like to introduce myself as a linux enthusiast. i started using linux in 2000 with a mini distro like mulinux on a Umsdos system and am currently using Slackware 9.1 on an ext2 partition Thanks to Mejo Jose (another linuxer in this list) who made those available cheaply and quickly. Just thought of joining this list to share and add to my knowledge and interests.

Mumbai_GNULinux Group & GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai
by Mejo Jose 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hello everyone, Let me introduce myself as the founder of http://linux.mejokj.com. I have been using and promoting linux for years . I recently came to Mumbai and one of the first things I did here was to join the linux users group , Mumbai. But when I searched on net, I found to linux users groups - 1) Mumbai_GNULinux(a)yahoogroups.com , 2) linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in. Is there any different between the above two groups? I subscribed to both the mailing lists and has been reading all the mails send by other members. The Mumbai Gnu Linux group has got around 200 members(yahoo says so) but I am not sure how many of them are really active. I am unaware of the number of members in ILUG mumbai. Anyway their site http://www.ilug-bom.org.in/ is completely unmaintained and not updated frequently. The bottom line here is that - the linux users of mumbai are not organised(Correct me if I am wrong). I couldn't understand what's the need for two different groups for members having the same interest. Can't both the groups merge and become one big, strong, active group? UNITY IS STRENGTH. ALWAYS! I would request all the members of both the groups to express their opinion about this. I am sure that we can do a lot more things together then we are doing right now, and in a much better way. What I have written in this mail is my personal opinion. If what I have written here is completely wrong or if there's something that I shouldn't have written, I apologize! Thanks & Regards, Mejo Jose http://linux.mejokj.com The place for Linux cds!
