Dear Sir, On searching over in net about NTP Time Servers , I came across your page.Pardon me for this unwanted intrusion. You seemed to me the same way excited about the Time Servers as myself. The page lists some Get-Time Servers, but mostly these servers are of Stratum 2 or 3. Do you have any information about primary stratum 1 Time Servers operating in India and what or where is the Reference clock situated. If you have any information regarding this, it would be really appreciated if you could inform me on this. Thanking you. ************************************************* R.S.V.P MR.

mysql/linux problem - TIME_WAIT sockets
by Manish Jethani 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

I'm facing a problem running mysql on red hat 6.2. # uname -a Linux dummy2.ezee 2.2.14-12 #1 Tue Apr 25 13:04:07 EDT 2000 i686 unknown The problem is that after running the mysql server for a while, clients stop getting connections. netstat returns the following: # netstat -a | grep -E 'mysql.*TIME_WAIT' | wc -l 14605 And those sockets are not getting closed. Not after waiting for 120 secs. Not even 120 minutes! I think the problem is not with mysql but somewhere else. There are only 67 mysql processes running, so I guess the processes that were using these sockets are probably dead already (assuming mysql forks for every connection). No clue. How do I free these port numbers so that other sockets can be bound to these ports? Or have I got it totally wrong? Thanks in advance.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] problem with loading modules
by Mahesh Gharat 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

Hi Rahul, In your case the modules will get overwritten in the same directory (/lib/modules/2.4.17). If you use the different kernel version then the modules will get installed in the /lib/modules/linu.kernel.version.number directory. The module loading depends upon the System.map and modules.conf file. So don't forget to move this newly generated System.map file to /boot/ directory. I think you moved the System.map file but didn't do make modules and make modules_install.Hence no modules get listed in the System.map file though they they are included in kernel as loadble modules. Basically the kernel compiling order should be: make menuconfig make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install copy bzImage to the /boot/ directory rename the old System.map to System.bak copy System.map to the /boot/ directory Do not forget to save the old .config file(which keeps the track of the selected options while compiling the kernel) before compiling. Happy Recompiling! -Mahesh Gharat We shall recompile and recompile until we are exhausted, and then we shall compile again.

problem with loading modules
by Rahul Saxena 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

hi there, i compiled 2.4.17 and made the modules for it. now i have compiled the same kernel with the preemtive kernel patch, but i have not made the modules for that. this causes a problem as the (preemtive)kernel dosent find any modules at boot. and hence i cannot use them. Now if i make modules for the preemtive kernel too, will they overwrite the previous modules. or will they be installed in a seperate directory then /lib/modules/2.4.17 ?? it would be good if i could boot from either of the kernels and use the modules. can somone throw some light on this ? regards -rahul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Starting with SuSE Linux 7.2, the SuSE distribution includes an interesting extension to LILO that allows a programmer to define some callback functions that are triggered when some events occur (key pressed, timeout, ...). It gives a much greater flexibility than the other extensions that are provided by most of the other Linux distributions, including the new graphical modes that have recently been added to the official version of LILO 22.x. While testing the SuSE version of LILO and the helper program mkbootmsg, I was wondering if the timer callbacks together with the function that copies parts of the image to the screen could be used for creating animations. I quickly found out that it was indeed possible to enhance the boot screen with animations. Since my friends liked the results, I decided to share them on this web site. These animated boot screens have been tested with SuSE Linux 7.2 and 7.3. They should also work with other Linux distributions, as long as you install the appropriate version of LILO.
