Message-ID: <20001101160752.C14050@weak.org>

Hello folks,

Not that this should be your only incentive to come to the meetings, but, 
the fine folks at AbriaSoft have given me a stack of 20 CDs, which contain
a "lite" version of their SQL package.

What is it? I'm not entirely sure, but judging from the marketing sheet that
came with the CDs, it's a turn-key MySQL installation for RedHat. The CD
also says it includes "MySQL Administration Training CD-ROM Demo", whatever
that is.

Anyways, you're welcome to come by, pick one up, try it out, and tell us what
you think. You can also pick one up and use it as a coffee coaster, if you'd
like.

Note that this is not an endorsment, just me passing on free stuff that I was
given. You're welcome to say (shout loudly, even) that this software is a load
of crap. If you work for a competing company, you're also welcome to send me
some CDs to distribute :)

-Jon

I need a small favor from someone running StarWriter

on a box that I have since gotten rid of. None of my 
FreeBSD machines are running X right now so I can't 
convert it. Please email me privately if you can help.

Anyone encountered a problem using stty on the /dev/cua0* serial ports in
OpenBSD?  stty won't let me change anything (port speed, raw mode, etc.),
and it's prohibiting my ability to use them.  I'm running ver 2.7.

Any thoughts?

Luis,

Look at the inetd.conf or rc.conf files in /etc you'll need to add the text
into one of them (depends upon how you want it to start) and then kill inetd
and restart it or reboot your box.

Hello everybody
I have installed Windows ME and connected it to the NET with a DSL line. I also 
have a RH 7 linux box, but it refuses to accept the DSL connection as the DSL
can be hooked up only with the USB support. 

Is there a possibility that I can share my internet connection by making Windows
ME as the server and connecting my linux box with a HUB.Can anybody give me some 
links to HOWTOS on this problem.

Thanks
Gyan

To my knowledge, there is no HOWTO on this, as Windows ME is still kinda
new.  

That being said, I've used the "Home Networking / Internet Connection
Sharing" in WinME, and it appears to be nothing more than a DHCP server
combined with IP Masquerading.

Have you tried simply setting your Linux box up for DHCP, and seeing what
happens?  You're likely to get handed a 192.168.0.x IP address, and all
should be wunnerful.

USB is, of course, a matter of one's kernel, not (particularly) one's 
distribution.  The Linux kernel's USB drivers have been developed in the
2.3 beta kernels, and have been backported to the latter 2.2 stable
kernels:  http://www.linux-usb.org/

Some distribution packagers elect to include beta drivers in the
prepackaged kernels their installers use.  Red Hat Software may do that:
I don't really do Red Hat 7, having a fondness for binary compatibility.

In any event, one is _in no way_ limited to the driver support in one's
distribution's default kernel.  That's the sort of thing gcc is there
for.

My point is that what kernel a distribution ships with is of nugatory
importance, post-installation.  Mine survives only long enough for me to
compile a custom one that suits me better.

Howdy,

I normally use the command 

/sbin/scu show edt 

in Digital to get a list of DAT drives on a given system, but find that
this command does not work with Suns.  I've found some other commands that
give information on DAT drives on Suns, but only if you know the name of
the device.  Does anyone know how to get a full list (with details) of the
tape drives on a Sun?

Thanks,

I don't believe there is a standard tool in Solaris to do this.

Roll your own:

	#! /bin/sh
	for td in `echo /dev/rmt/[0-9]`
	do
	   if mt -f $td status > /dev/null 2>&1
	   then
	      echo $td
	      mt -f $td status
	   fi
	done

... or something similar.

I was wondering if anyone ran into a problem or know about problem with ssh
trying to connect to a red hat system 7.0

here's the problem that I'm having, i download the ssh-1.2.30
installed it in red hat 7.0
I have 2 linux box so both of them have ssh running.

What i'm having trouble is trying to open any of the conf file from the
terminal
But the terminal that i'm trying to use is the one that comes with sshbuddy.

You make connections through sshbuddy, and if you like to connect all you do
is double click on them. it opens up a terminal for you, so your good to go.
but when i try to open or userconf or the netconf i get this error message


$userconf

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication at Mon Nov 27

Rejected connection at Mon Nov 27 :X11connection from linuxserver port 1027

Error message from remadin: Gdk-Error **: X connection to linuxserver:10.0
broken ( explicit kill or server shutdown)

so if anyone out there know what the hell all this mean it would really help
me out


Thank
Luis

Do you have a line like

	ForwardX11 yes

in your 'ssh_config' file?

 1.  Your explanation of the problem was more than a bit difficult to
follow.

2.  You used the term "sshbuddy" as if it were something standard.  It's
not.  I know quite a lot of SSH-related software, but this is the first
I've heard of it.  (I just found a description of it on a Tucows
"Linuxberg" mirror, http://linuxberg.iol.it/x11html/preview/10392.html .
It's a graphical front-end for SSH terminal sessions.)

3.  Your problem would appear to be that you're trying to run some X
(graphical) client, "userconf", on the remote box, imaging it across the 
network onto your local X server, _but_ have X forwarding over the SSH
tunnel disabled.

In your sshd_config file, make sure you have the following lines.  I'm
pretty sure you'll find they're not there:

      X11Forwarding
      AllowTcpForwarding

Please see also:

http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/security/ssh.html
http://csociety.ecn.purdue.edu/~sigos/projects/ssh/forwarding/

http://www.ssh.com/products/ssh/administrator/X11_Forwarding.html
  (This concerns ssh.com's SSH v. 2.x, not the 1.2.30 you're running!)

NOTE:  There's a reason why X forwarding over SSH is disabled by
default.  It's a security risk.  Besides, in the long term, you really
ought to wean yourself off X-based administrative tools.

Also, make sure you have valid DNS for the two boxes, including reverse
DNS.  If you have _any doubt_ about that, or don't understand what I'm
saying, then just make sure there are entries for both machines in the
/etc/hosts files of both machines.  

NOTE2:  The best way to figure out SSH problems is to run the software
in debug or verbose mode, e.g., ssh with the "-v" option for the SSH
implmenetation you're using.

As someone else just got through saying, it might be"ForwardX11".  I 
don't remember, and I run OpenSSH rather than ssh.com's SSH.  But it
should be described in the file's manpage, and in the documentation in
/usr/doc/ssh/ .

(Be careful about information on the Net about SSH, as you have to be
clear on whose implementation each such information source concerns.)
