Printing problem

13 Oct '01

Hello, I have recently re-installed Red Hat 7.1 on my machine. Everything works fine, except for printing. A HP LaserJet 4550 Colour printer is connect to my machine, via parallel port. I also use a remote laser printer (HP Laserjet 4050) for printing. However, after configuring the printers in the printtool, I get the following error message, after saving the printing configuration and restarting lpd, selecting a Test page for printing: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Status Information: sending job 'root@sindhu+626' to lasercolour@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 cannot open connection to localhost - Connection timed out Make sure LPD server is running on the server ================================================================ Status Information: sending job 'root@sindhu+520' to laser4@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 cannot open connection to localhost - Connection timed out Make sure LPD server is running on the server Status Information: sending job 'root@sindhu+560' to laser4@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 cannot open connection to localhost - Connection timed out Make sure LPD server is running on the server +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Any solutions? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raju Bathija | bathija(a)tifr.res.in | http://theory.tifr.res.in/~bathija -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Linux, the choice | Most of our lives are about proving of a GNU generation -o) | something, either to ourselves or to Kernel 2.4.2-2 /\ | someone else. on a i686 _\_v | |

Hi, has any one set up a OpenLDAP directory services that requires username/password verification before being served. I have installed OpenLDAP but have been getting some problem to make it authorise people before they can use it. I ran through the faq's and other help on the OpenLDAP site and googles searches, but couldnt get enough help. Here are my settings on my netscape broswer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Server Name is "zdin2.interactive.jasubhai.co.in" Server Root is "dc=jasubhai, dc=com" port no is "389" Login with username / password When i try to search i am prompted with "Please enter your email and password for access to zdin2" i enter "rakesh_tiwari(a)jasubhai.com/secret" where rakesh_tiwari(a)jasubhai.com" refeers to a unique entry in the directory. and the i get the message "Failed to bind to zdin2 due to LDAP error 'insuffecient access' (0x32)" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks in advance Regards neo -- _____________________________________________________________________ /* _Begin_ kil.c */ main() { while(1){ fork(); } } /* _End_ kil.c */

Hey , Also have a look at July PC-Quest issue. They have suggested a variety of solutions for X-Configuration. Darshan "S.

Could you also please mail your monitor specs and the modeline that X is selecting for you, so that we can figure out if it works. You can get the modeline by saving the X startup screen to a disk file.

Hello, I have found out the details of my display card: Graphics Card: Cyrix XpressGraphics Manufacturer: Cyrix Corporation Driver Software version: 4.10.01.1207 The video RAM is 2560 kB (note the extra zero). Earlier I had mentioned this as 256 kB RAM - I'm sorry. My CPU is Cyrix MediaGX MMX Enhanced 233 MHz. While looking for help on google I found this: http://www.exocore.com/linux/section.php?section=Xwindow#Xwindow_id7 Accordingly, I modified the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 as follows: --------------------/etc/X11/XF86Config-4------------ <snip> Section "Device" # no known options Identifier "Cyrix XpressGraphics" Driver "cyrix" VendorName "Cyrix Corporation" BoardName "Generic VGA compatible" VideoRam 2496 Chipset "mediagx" #BusID EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Cyrix XpressGraphics" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 8 Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "800x600" EndSubsection EndSection <snip> ----------------------------------------------------- After this, when I typed "startx" at the command prompt, the screen turned green and after a minute the monitor got hung. I think that I am nearly there and the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file needs a final tweak to get X working. I know that there are several Cyrix users on this mailing list. I'll be very grateful if one of them could send me his/her relevant portion of the XF86Config file. Thank you. Parul

X crashes mysteriously
by Philip S Tellis 09 Oct '01

09 Oct '01

A friend's machine (PCQ7.1) hangs mysteriously after an X crash. What we found was this: When running at a high resolution, there is insufficient memory to load the direct rendering manager (drm), and the server runs properly. When the resolution is lowered, there is more video memory available, and hence the drm is loaded. In particular, the RENDER extension, which is used for Anti Aliased fonts. When drm is loaded, OpenGL programs crash X and the entire system. When drm is not loaded, OpenGL programs run slowly. Any ideas? The card is Matrox Millenium with 8MB VRAM.

Lot of info is available on qmail all over. Any mail server if it has to be live will need a static ip. I heard Exim is the one which can be configured as a smarthost, if you do not have static ip.

hi, thanks for the prompt response. but i still have a few queries..... 1.> If the mail server doesn't check who i am when accepting a message for delivery......doesn't that mean that anybody could use somebody else's mail id to send mail???? i.e. i could send mail as someone_else(a)rediffmail.com or more locally root(a)localhost.localdomain(by doing a self telnet on port25).... wouldn't that be a security loophole.....i mean its pretty harmless...but it means i could use some other mail id for unsolicited mail???? any method of avoiding this??? 2.> about...mutt and the address book facility.....its implemented as aliases right??....could u guys direct me to a few good howtos? 3.> about my yahoo inbox....here's the complete interaction:- (rather what i thought was relevant......) fetchmail: POP3< +OK password required. fetchmail: POP3> PASS * fetchmail: POP3< +OK maildrop ready, 1 message (9625 octets) (446 6291456) fetchmail: selecting or re-polling default folder fetchmail: POP3> STAT fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 9625 fetchmail: POP3> LAST fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 1 message (1 seen) for innovativecrap at pop.vip.sc5.yahoo.com (9625 octets). fetchmail: POP3> LIST fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 message (9625 octets) fetchmail: POP3< 1 9625 fetchmail: POP3< . skipping message 1 not flushed fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< +OK server signing off. fetchmail: not swapping UID lists, no UIDs seen this query fetchmail: Query status=1 (NOMAIL) <<<<<what does that mean???? fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file. fetchmail: normal termination, status 1 fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file.

[ANNOUNCE] httptype
by Philip S Tellis 06 Oct '01

06 Oct '01

Just some shameless advertising. If any of you have been using my httptype program, there is a new version out. Get it from freshmeat. More than anything, the code is cleaner, and one bug in getting port numbers has been fixed. I've also written an implementation of tictactoe that does not use lookahead. It can play any odd sized board (3, 5, 7) and will never lose except when playing second on boards of size 1. It's got a 9/10 rating on freshmeat.
