clustering
by abhijeet 31 Dec '01

31 Dec '01

hi I have been hunting for a problem definition for my b.e. project. Well, the search has been narrowed down to Web Server Clustering. I've seen the stuff at www.linuxvirtualserver.org and at lcic.org, But haven't been able to find a precise problem. Has anybody on the list worked in that area??? If yes could you direct me or suggest a few problem defn.s fit for us at b.e. level?? ciao abhijeet

squid MAC address configuration
by Hiten Desai 31 Dec '01

31 Dec '01

I found out this in man pages but I dont know how to do that anyone please tell me all the related commands and configurations for enabling mac address access control in squid thanks Hiten. To use ARP (MAC) access controls, you first need to compile in the optional code. Do this with the --enable-arp-acl configure option: % ./configure --enable-arp-acl ... % make clean % make If src/acl.c doesn't compile, then ARP ACLs are probably not supported on your system. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

4GB files in /lost+found
by Amish Mehta 29 Dec '01

29 Dec '01

Hi, Yesterday I was forced to hard reboot my Linux and when it passed through e2fsck it showed errors in lots of inodes. After going through fsck(where all I did is choose default answer) when I checked lost+found there were around 1200 files of size 4GB(HD space is 8GB). 'ls -l' doesnt show type of the file(it shows '?' question mark). Now if I try to remove those files it says 'Operation not permitted'. I also tried 'chmod 644' but that too fails. So now what are theses files? How do I remove these files? lost+found also shows several block and character devices, I was unable to remove those too. Is there a separate command say 'rmnod' to remove such files? Also my harddisk is NOW showing 1GB free, as far as I knew it only had 200MB space left, does it mean I have lost the files? Can this happen? I was under impression that any unattached inodes go to lost+found. Also there can't be 800MB of data open at time of reboot that all get corrupted and lost. But suprisingly all daily operations seem to be working fine. So point is where did free space come from? What files were lost? How do I find? I am totally lost :-) Thanks for help. Amish. P.S. Kernel version is 2.2.17 and I am using the machine since 2 yrs and is reasonably stable.

NIS (network information system or yellow pages as it was once known) existed when Windows NT was not even conceived. So comparing it with NT gives one the impression that NIS sort of imitates NT. The other way round may be true.

Configuration Prob. in DHCP
by Desai Ashish 24 Dec '01

24 Dec '01

Dear Luggers, Hi...2 all..... I m facing a problem for configuring 2 NIC for sharing my Internet Connection. Plz. find the complete problembelow. I m having 2 Machines. On one I m having Direct Cable Internet Connection...i.e. on Ethernet Technology. And that machine is having Linux 7.1 with Squid configured properly. I want to share that on 2-3 machines. All other machines having Win98. I want to set up its TCP/IP Configuration as Using DHCP Server and I want to make my first PC as DHCP Server for my Internal Network. For that matter I edited the file /etc/dhcpd.conf Its contents is as follows in /etc/dhcpd.conf subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.10; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255; option routers 192.168.0.1; } subnet 202.131.99.81 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option broadcast-address 202.131.99.255; option routers 202.131.99.81; } And then I restart DHCP Service using "dhcpd -f" command. Then it has given me error as follows. Listening on Socket /etc/192.168.0.0 Sending on Socket /etc/192.168.0.0 No subnet declaration for eth0 (202.131.99.81) Please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment to which interface eth0 is attched. exiting. My Internet Service Provider has provided us some fixed IPs...I would like to mentioned that I already started Squid for Netsharing. After that I've provided all the machines IP address manually. And I can be able to browse the websites. But I want to make my Linux machine as DHCP server for my Internetwork. So, in above situation where the defect amy be left by me...???? Plz. suggese me some solution for that. Regards, [Ashish Desai] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com
