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

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

[ILUG-BOM] Unique Event to show case GNU/Linux in Mumbai and Call for Help!
by Nagarjuna G. 28 Dec '03

28 Dec '03

Long Mail! Hi, Summary: this note is to inform and seek your help for FSF Stall at the WSF Event, manage the Media Centre, and give any helping hand (time and money). Richard Stallman and several other leaders of Free software from Europe, Latin America will be visiting. We have a unique event to organize and witness in Mumbai this January, an international event called World Social Forum. Read more about it from http://www.wsfindia.org. Since the use of Swatantra Software (read free software) is concieved as an important social and ethical practice by the organizers of this event, which actually takes place every year at one place or other in the world, they have agreed to use only GNU/Linux in an important facility of the event called Media Centre. Media Centre is a place where all the journalists from all around the world who will visit the place to cover the event will be using the computers to send emails, exchange documents with their offices, compose articles etc. This Media Centre will be using exclusively GNU/Linux. An important occassion for all of us to celebrate! But, at the same time a very crucial responsibility. There will be 160 PC running GNU/Linux. We dont want to accept any failures. All the journalists who will be coming there are NOT GNU/linux users. At most they know how to use a desktop. So we will provide them with the best of what GNU/Linux provides with best office software, and a few of the communication tools they need to work. These PC are required to be internationalized so that they could with a touch of a button could be able to use different keyboards. It is expected most people will be using French, Spanish, German and English. Several East Europian and Asian friends are also expected. We should install, test, and maintain all the machines before they are deployed for ten days, the actual event is from 16th to 22nd January. Media Centre should begin functioning from 15th afternoon to 23rd morning. There is another facility where online translation of the speaches will be provided. The people who want translation will be using a radio, sets will be provided, and an FM station will be setup for this purpose. Even for this hitech event the organizers have chosen to use GNU/Linux. FSF Europe and others are helping this to happen. FSF India Stall: At this stall we will have people telling and distributing information, and other goodies if any to the visitors. Richard Stallman will be there all the six days in Mumbai and he will be giving around 4-5 speaches and will be participating in several round table meetings. Our repsonsibility is to provide enough volunteers who know GNU/linux Desktop well to help the journalists and other important visitors to use the computers at the Media Centre. So, please try to volunteer to support this event and take up a responsibility. Since the media centre is required to be running 24 hours, we need to do a shift system so that we are always there to help. We need to people who would like to help the users to do their tasks, such as sending mails, printing documents, saving files, making CDs when they leave, composing documents, spell checking, setting the language options, providing internet facility etc. The technical skills needed are not very high. More than general familiarity to GNU/linux is enough. The PC will have either GNOME or KDE installed. We also need some experts around to trouble shoot and fix installation related problems. We need about 40 volunteeers in all, with about 15 people to be there during the day time on any day. Let me remind the dates are 15th to 22nd. Installation will team however will start the work by 12th morning. BTW, the venue is National Stock Exchange grounds Goregaon. We cant get a better opportunity to show case to the world that Swatantra Software is mature and will meet the IT aspirations of people. If you want to become a volunteer, please subscribe to the mailing list at http://mm.gnu.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wsf-volunteers This list will be used to coordinate and understand the skill profile of people so that we know what to expect from whom. Those of you who cannot donate your time, please generously come forward to donate money to FSF India. Only cheques drawn in favour of FSF India will be accepted, no cash. Let us join hands to make this event a big success. Nagarjuna Director FSF india

Hi All I an trying to share internet access using NAT. On the server side I have set ip_forward to 1 and added MASQUERADE in iptables script. And on the client side I have configured server ip as gateway and using same dns servers as specified on the server. But when I do tracert (windows client) it just hits gateway machine and get Request Timed Out. SOS.

Hi Keith Thanks for your reply. Please find my reply mentioned below : "keith" wrote: I am no expert but you can try the following. 1) check whether you can access the net from the linux(gateway) machine. Answer : Yes. I am able to browse the net from the gateway machine. 2) check the ip_forward by doing cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Answer : It is permanently set to 1 3) the masquerade rule for iptables is something like this For say network 192.168.0.0/24 /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0/0 -j MASQUERADE (also assuming ur using iptables and the 2.4 kernel) Answer : Yes I am using Red Hat 9 and I am using above mentioned rule except "-s 192.168.0.0/24" I shall modify the rule and check again. 4) Some ISP's dont allow ICMP packets so check whether you can access the network using some other protocols. Answer : I am not sure about this I shall check with the ISP. 5) Forget DNS for now, try accessing some sites by IP, a good check would be to see if you can do a "whois" or a "dig", If you can ping an IP address, try pinging your DNS server to see if they are they are up to perform name resolution, maybe that isnt set correctly. Answer : I shall try that ... thanks. The main reason to use NAT instead of Squid (squid-2.5.STABLE4) for proxy is the same mentioned by this gentleman : http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200208/0102.html SOS .... Can anybody guide me on this if possible .... Hope this helps... Regards, Keith "joel_divekar" wrote: > Hi All > > I an trying to share internet access using NAT.

Triple boot Red Hat 9, Windows Me and SuSE 9.0
by Baji J. Ram Rao 27 Dec '03

27 Dec '03

I do most of my software development on Red-Hat 9 since it was new. My test system is a Pentium 4 /1.7 GHz on an Intel D845GEBV2 motherboard with 512k DDR-SDRAM. Put in a Samsung CDROM and three 40GB-7200 rpm Samsung Puma hard disk drives. [hda, hdb and hdd] hda on my computer has Red Hat 9 hdb has Windows Me Wanting to check-out what SuSE had to offer, I bought a SuSE Professional Linux 9.0 box. SuSE installed uneventfully on hdd, but now Red-Hat 9 wont boot. It chokes when it finds SuSEs Reiser filesystem and /boot Disabling hdd (Secondary Slave) in bios, lets my Red Hat 9 on hda (Primary Master) boot normally. Any suggestions how to get SuSE 9.0 and Red Hat 9 to coexist? Ram

rh9.0 too slow !
by Mrudul Shah 26 Dec '03

26 Dec '03

Hi, I installed RH 9 on my system : Celeron= 1.2Ghz on an Intel 810e2 Chipset with RAM : 2 chips of 512 MB and 25= 6 MB, each detected to half it's capacity, to give 256+128 = 384 MB= . RH 9 detected this correctly DURING INSTALL. I got it installed and = all, but now it's VERRY slow and unresponsive. This same pr= oblem had occured when I had switched my system from a P3 to a Celero= n 1.2 (along with a RAM change from 128 single to the current scenari= o). WHy is the system so slow ? What can I do? - = Mrudul. [1] [Re=] References 1. 3D"http://clien=/
