Looks like everything worked as expected, but you didn´t put any data on
the cd so just the session information was written to disc. you seem to
have skipped the step where you select your data to burn.

Well you said yours is happening occassionally?  Mine was occurring all
the time.  I had a problem where when I had switched desktops that my
Fonts directory somehow became corrupt.  So, I had another RH9 box which
I copied the directory from to fix the issue.  Before ever starting X
you can try to start xfs and check the output to see what type of errors
it is getting.  What messages did you have after your X closed and you
where back to the main terminal?  This will point you to the error.
Give me a post and I'll try to help you out.

Also, one of the times you get the computer to start up.  You can go to
/etc/inittab and edit this file.  Change this line id:5:initdefault: to
id:3:initdefault:  This will make your system boot to run level 3 (5 is
Xwindows).  Then you will have to type startx to launch X.  Now when you
have the problem you won't have to reboot, and you'll be able to see
what error message the machine is getting.  You may not be able to
ALT-CTRL-BACKSPACE, but if you let the Xserver die, you'll have output
on your terminal and you'll be able to track down your issue.  This is
what I ended up having to do.  Mine was so bad I had to use my rescue
disk to get in and change my files.  Hope that helps.

Maybe your disk is acting up and something is happening to the Xfont
server xfs?  I had a whacky issue with xfs.  I also think that xfs slows
X down on startup...(a lot).  Has anyone set up X to use a set of paths
instead of a unix socket for the X Fonts?  This is something I wouldn't
mind setting my machines up to do.  It would be a performance enhancer.
Can't imagine why running a Socket Server for fonts would be very useful
(aka seperated from the X server?).  Anyone else have any comments or
ideas on the matter?

I have never been able to get Opera 7.2.x to run on my RH8.0/9.0
reliably. It hangs after running for 20 minutes or so. Then the only way
to get rid of it is with xkill. so xStopped using it. If it worked
better I think I would like it more than mozilla.

As to writing just the session information.  I thought something like that was 
happening.  The problem is I'm just not very sure, anymore, what I'm setting
and how.  At first trials I thought it was easy to get it right.  But as I do
it more and more I keep getting different results each time.  Each time I try
to follow the instructions the same way, set the options on all the tabs the
same way.  But I don't see the result I expect to see. 

I'm just so confused at this point.  I don't think the instructions in the
manuals cover all issues involved.

Anyway as I said, thanks everyone.

Under "Options", you can select "Default Write Options".  There is a
known bug in cdrecord (for which xcdroast is a graphical front end), the
workaround of which is to use "Disk-At-Once".  How is yours set up?

I think the idea wasn't that bad people are only in Far Away Places,
more that he wouldn't be doing fresh food deliveries to China or
Europe.

Yes, there is a Polish company that claims to have nearly a half
million zombie Windows machines under its control, but many of those
machines will prove to be in the US.

I also think the conclusion was that trying to limit on geography was
a bad idea.

The reason I'm asking this question on this list is because it should be
an easy answer for anyone who knows C.  I'm not a programmer and don't
know the first thing about C.

I'm having the compile time error thats listed in the DRBD FAQ here,
http://faq.drbd.org/.  It says to apply this patch below, but I'm not a
programmer so I'm a little unsure on how to do this exactly.  My guess is
that I copy this into a text file and use the patch command to patch the
drbd source?  Maybe a command similar to this, "patch -p0 < patchfile",
but I'm really not sure.

Yup, that's right. Alternatively, you could replace the line that starts
with the '-' sign and replace it with the one that starts with the '+' sign.

Subject: slow response time

I have a file server running RH AS 2.1.

There are two directories exported via NFS and samba.

I have about 100 client computers using these two shares.

I am getting a really slow response time from the server.  When I run top, I
see that the cpus are +90% Idle but the load average is about 23 to 24.

How can I find out where this load is coming from?

Any insight or suggestion would be appreciated.

I am going through the /etc/init.d/functions and have some questions about
some of the syntax.
I'm relatively new to bash so any help would be appreciated.

I know what the local designator does;
however in the assignment statement
local base= user= nice= pid

I'm not sure what is happening in terms of teh = sign.
What does this mean.

In addition, there is a ${pid:-}.
I was expecting something after the -.
What does this mean (is it returning the null value?)

TIA

Well, you have a couple of problems:

You don't want to trust eth0, by trustung eth0 ( your only network card
) you are basically disabling the firewall from that interface.

>>> jessem@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10/20/03 04:00PM >>>

I've been having some trouble opening and closing ports. Basically, I
want to close of all ports except 22 for ssh and 3 other ports to do
some testing with openmosix. No matter what I do though, the ports
that
I want open stay closed and the ports that I want closed are open.
(Mostly)

Port       State       Service
22/tcp     open        ssh
25/tcp     open        smtp
111/tcp    open        sunrpc
139/tcp    open        netbios-ssn
505/tcp    open        mailbox-lm
631/tcp    open        ipp
885/tcp    open        unknown
4660/tcp   open        unknown
6000/tcp   open        X11
9158/tcp   open        unknown
10000/tcp  open        snet-sensor-mgmt
32768/tcp  open        unknown
32769/tcp  open        unknown
32770/tcp  open        sometimes-rpc3

Looks like I don't even have a firewall activated.
redhat-config-securitylevel is set to medium. If I change it to hight
the same ports are open. Trusted device is set to my network card
(eth0)
nothing is checked except ssh and dhcp. Like I said above, I want a
couple other ports for open openmosix but, I have not "other ports"
section using redhat-config-securitylevel.

Other notes, I have iptables service enabled. It starts at boot. Also,
I
have tried to use iptables directly i.e iptables -A INPUT -p tcp ...
etc. Still nothing.

Thanks in advance.

You can use the Gimp, ksnapshot (if you have KDE installed) and many others I
cannot remember. Please search the list archive for other suggestions. This
has been asked many times before.

an FM that I can R if it isn't. Cross-posted to redhat-list and shrike-list.

My wife is creating lots of Kazaa traffic, and I am using rsync to create a
full mirror of Red Hat's FTP site, Aurora Linux FTP site, the LDP site, and
some other stuff. Clearly, when one is moving well over 100GB over a 128
Kbps link, this is going to take a long time... but that's OK, we're in no
hurry.

However, of course since the link is saturated then email downloads and web
browsing become dog-slow and frustrating. I could even live with mail being
really slow, but the HTTP traffic I really wish could be given some sort of
"high priority" so that I don't have to shut down the rsync transfer
temporarily when we're really using the Net at home.

So really, happiness right now is just priority service for HTTP traffic.
Go to the head of the line, and all that, since everything else can take an
extra week to download without causing us any inconvenience.

I have heard some terms thrown around, but have no knowledge yet. Is this
possible (I assume it is)? Is what I want traffic shaping, or quality of
service, or TCP flags... what is it? And, of course, is there something
somewhere that will tell me how to make it work?

Thanks for any pointers,

Thanks, that worked.

I played around with rsync sometime ago and remember that it has an option for
limiting bandwidth. I don't know if it really works, or how good it works,
etc. I tried it really quick for smaller bandwitdh and did not notice any
difference yet, but I might did something wrong. I had to drop the 'play
around with rsync' since other priorities came up. But you might want to take
a look at it, if you haven't. Of course, the FM is : man rsync

I don't know 'bout Kazzaa though.

I'd like to know if the rsync option works for you, and would appreciate it if
you give us report back on what you do to achive this at some point later,
for the rest of us to learn :)

You want QoS (Quality-of-Service) with PRIQ.  Check out the Advanced
Routing HOWTO if you're a glutton for punishment, or the OpenBSD/PF/ALTQ
FAQ if you really want it done with as little pain as possible.  ;-)

I use this at home to a) prioritize upstream ACKs to optimize downloads,
b) prioritize outbound DNS requests, and c) prioritize interactive SSH
sessions.  Everything else brings up the rear.  Here's the relevant
section from my pf.conf:

### Queueing ###
altq on $ext_if priq bandwidth 225Kb queue { std_out, ssh_out, dns_out,
tcp_ack_out }
queue std_out           priq(red default)
queue ssh_out           priority 4 priq(red)
queue dns_out           priority 5 priq(red)
queue tcp_ack_out       priority 6 priq(red)
altq on $int_if cbq bandwidth 2Mb queue { std_in, ssh_in, dns_in }
queue std_in            cbq(default)
queue ssh_in            priority 4
queue dns_in            priority 5

Check out the following doc.  Even if you choose to use Linux's QoS
instead, this will explain it much better than anything else I've seen.

Subject: RH9 Apache Mod_rewrite problems

Reply-To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx

i have my httpd.conf set up like this:

<snip>
# Custom ReWrite engine stuff
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9
<snip>
<VirtualHost host.mydomain.com:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
<Files index>
    ForceType application/x-httpd-php
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?action="">
</Files>

now, this works fine when i go to http://host.mydomain.com/index but when i
browse to http://host.mydomain.com/option i get a page not found error.
i'm pretty sure i've got the RewriteEngine working since Apache has created
the rewrite.log but it's blank, and it's not working.

anyone got any ideas what might be wrong?

cheers

andy
