by psawant＠nse.co.in 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

first of all, i would like to wish all gnu/linuxers a very happy and a prosperous new year! now coming to my problem:- i recently installed RedHat 9 on my m/c. i also have RedHat 7.3 on a separate partition. when i logged into RedHat 9, even the simplest shell scripts, like ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #tmp.sh #!/bin/bash echo "sdjfljsd" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ don't work after i do: - $ chmod +x tmp.sh $ ./tmp.sh but this works:- $ bash tmp.sh the first case gives the foll error:- bash: bad interpreter ..... when i log into RedHat 7.3, and try to do a "chroot" to the "/" of the RedHat 9 partition, i get the error:- bash: Permission denied i even tried copying /bin/bash from RedHat 7.3 to RedHat 9, but it did not help. any help regarding this problem would be greatly appreciated. thanks for the help! -- You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives. - Clay Bedford. --- Pradnyesh Sawant spradnyesh(a)gmx.net Ph. 91-022-27703060 http://www.geocities.com/spradnyesh ---

Reviews of broadband ISP's in Bombay?
by Thomas Raffill 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

I want to get broadband internet access for my wife's parents in the Chembur/Kurla East area of Bombay. The idea is to get more bandwidth for communications like voice and webcam. While searching the net for info, I discovered this group and read the thread on Powersurfer. There was a lot of info hard to find elsewhere, such as the facts that average speeds can be 8-10 kbps, the back-end bandwidth is 2 mbps, and it can take months to get service after signing up because they need a minimum number of users in an area. So it looks like a good idea to start a discussion in this group on what's going on. If any of you have experience with broadband in Bombay, no matter whether cable, dsl, or wireless, I'd love to hear about it. For example, what average speeds are you getting? How reliable is the connection? What troubles did you have getting set up? How responsive is the customer service? How are the reputations of the various providers? Is it really superior to a dial-up connection? Are there other things you wish you knew before subscribing? Thanks in advance, Tom

thank you sameer for your guidance, but that doesn't seem to solve my problem the first line in my shell script was "#!/bin/bash" i put the "#tmp.sh" as the first line in my mail, just to give the script a name, to help me explain in a better way how i was executing the script. as for the chroot problem, i am executing chroot as "root" only. thanks for the help, anyways. -- You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives. - Clay Bedford. --- Pradnyesh Sawant spradnyesh(a)gmx.net Ph. 91-022-27703060 http://www.geocities.com/spradnyesh ---

BLOCK SENDER NOT WORKING
by SACHIN SAWANT 01 Jan '04

01 Jan '04

Hi , I hv installed block sender plugin. But its not blocking mails. Actually when I saw README file of block sender I found following lines This plugin relies on the use of the procmail LDA. Within the plugin directory is a file called 'sqblock.rc'. This file contains a recipe that must be added to the global procmailrc file (usually located at /etc/procmailrc) along with variables that must be defined. The easiest way to do this is to simply include sqblock.rc in your global procmailrc file by adding a line such as this: INCLUDERC=/path/to/sqblock.rc This should be the first line of your global procmailrc file. So I added lines in my procmail rc as follows /INCLUDERC=/usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/block_sender/sqblock.rc but still its not working. I know something is wronge somewhere but I cant find it out yet. Any suggestion? Waiting for your reply.

Linux file permissions
by Hitesh Lad 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Hello fellow linuxers, I am having some problem with Linux file permissions. It is simple but some how I am not able to arrive at a perfect solution. I am having four folders in another folder called 'departments'. They are 'sales','accounts','support' and 'management'. I want to accomplish the following objectives:- 1) All people can access 'departments' folder. 2) People belonging to a particular department have read/write access in their folder only. eg. sales people can read/write in sales folder etc. 3) People belonging to other departments cannot *see* into other departments folder. eg.support people cannot *see* anything in sales, accounts, management folder etc. 4) People belonging to 'management' can read/write into all folders. 5) People belonging to 'accounts' can *read* 'sales' folder . They cannot add/delete files. I know that I have to use usermod,groupmod,chmod,chown.chgrp commands. But I am not able to work out on what exact folder/file to work on. I am using RedHat Linux 9 ( I don't think distribution matters! ) Please help me with this situation. Hitesh __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

Iptables Query
by joel_divekar 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Hi Problem 1] I am able to use IPTABLES for sharing Intenet and DNAT. The server used has a live IP and the code used to enable me to share Internet Access and DNAT to my internal server is iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE But as far as I understand MASQUERADE is used in case of Dynamic IPs and with Fixed or Live IP you can directly use DNAT and SNAT rules. But when I remove the above mentioned line I am not able to share Internet Access nor I am able to access internal servers from outside (DNAT). Problem 2] I wish to block access to some sites from my network with some exception and I am using following rule but I am getting error when I add more than one site and more than one IP address. iptables -A FORWARD -d www.hotmail.com www.yahoo.com -s 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 -j DROP Regards Joel Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for for Air Tickets @ Re.1 on Air Sahara Flights.

How to combine 2 mpeg videos on a GNU/Linux system?
by Rishi Gangoly 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Hi I'm trying to combine 2 mpeg videos. I thought the following would work: cat file1.mpg file2.mpg > final.mpg When I play the final.mpg it works fine till the second video starts and returns the following error on the screen libmpeg2: stream not demultiplexed ? I'm using XINE. I thought maybe what I need is a Video Editor for Linux and so found LVE on SourceForge but had problems compiling it.. This is the error I get qdir.cpp:10:26: qapplication.h: No such file or directory followed by a whole bunch of similar errors. I'm using a GNU/Linux system (Knoppix 3.2 - Debian). Anyone had any luck with making lve? One more thing ... the first video is 10 seconds long and does not contain any audio signal. Whereas the second video is a 32 minute video of RMS which is compressed big time since the file is only 53 MB. Regards Rishi
