Reply-To: redha...@redhat.com
Actually, I only wanted DHCP for my internal interface...but until I
spefically added accept rules for udp and tcp on ports 67 and 68 on the
internal interface, my server/firewall would not accept dhcp requests, nor
dole out the addresses.
And that, specifically, was the problem. And I'm 100% sure that's the
problem with Mike's network, too.

Subject: Sco-ansi emulation
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 19:44:04 +0100
Reply-To: redha...@redhat.com
Hallo,
I have installed RedHat Linux 7.1 on a PC (old pentium 233 Mhz) and
it works fine. I would like to use that machine in my office and it must
connect via tcp/ip to a server using SCO Openserver (Unix) with a terminal
emulator throug the LAN. Does RedHat produce a terminal emulator
software that support "sco-ansi" emulation ?
I'll be very happy to use linux instaed of windows for my job.
Thank you for help.
Riccardo

My 2nd hdd which contains the contents of cd roms in tree format is formatted in fat16. As my installtion floppy is not running thus i boot into real time dos mode & run the autorun.bat file. But installation trying to search iso images in my hdd, which is not available with me & being two large files i am unable to download the same.Please advice me how can i overcome this problem as this installtion is very urgent to me.

Subject: tcsh tab complete & perl readdir miss files
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 10:27:39 -0500
Reply-To: redha...@redhat.com
I have a few RH 7.1 machines where, both the tab complete function of tcsh
and readdir call of perl don't return all the files they should in a
directory. For instance if there are two files, test.test and test.old, tab
complete will complete test.test after entering te<tab> or may not find any
files after enter the same. Similarly readdir in perl will return only a
some of the files in a directory. There isn't any obvious pattern to which
files "appear" or which are unseen. This only happens in an NFS mounted
filesystem that is XFS on SGI.
Thanks,
Paul

Reply-To: redha...@redhat.com
In /etc/mail/sendmail.mc you will find the following line.. Either edit
and customize it to what you prefer for your system or just comment it
out..
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
Once you do that regenerate sendmail.cf using m4 via,
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
Restart sendmail, and you should be OK and to your question, Yes,
sendmail does not accept connections from the outside world on a default
install of Redhat..

Check the list archives for that one. IIRC, I had the same problem and fo=

Subject: vfat problems with 7.2 (Enigma)
Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2001 18:39:49 +0200
Reply-To: redha...@redhat.com
Dear Managers,
I installed Red Hat 7.2 (Enigma) on a old PC of mine (Celeron 300).
Everything is ok but when I am trying to mount and transfer things to my vfat disk strange things are happening.
The disk is recognised as vfat and mounted ok.
Then when I am trying to create a dir or transfer files to that disk
the first time everything is ok. When the second dir is attempted to be created or the second file to be moved, the vfat filesystem is locked somehow and I am getting errors of the type:
Read only system
Does anyone know what is going wrong ?

Subject: Big problems booting RedHat
Reply-To: redha...@redhat.com
Hello,
I'm in a bit of a pickle. One of our servers (RH6.0) crashed a few days
ago and I have not been able to boot it up since. Problems on boot
occur when the system gets to loading the keymap. This is the message I
get:
Loading default keymap/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit /dev/null: Read-only
filesystem [FAILED]
>From there, it sets default fonts, activates the swap partitions, and
sets the hostname.
Then it tries to check the root filesystem and ceases to function.
I've booted into rescue mode and ran e2fsck to try and repair the
partition. That seemed to go okay (it fixed some errors), but nothing
has changed. What else can I do?
Many thanks for any suggestions.

Reply-To: redha...@redhat.com
I'm not at a RH72 console right now (I have a RH62 in front of me), but this
is the possible problem: the init script for vncserver checks the file
/etc/sysconfig/vncserver to see the user/display pairs to be started.
It happens that each vnc instance sets a temporary file /tmp/.X11-unix/X1,
X2, X3... which functions as a lock for that display number.
When you reboot, the old temporary file is still there (it is not deleted on
shutdown -- I think this is a bug). This breaks the init script, because it
tries to connect a new vncserver to the locked display number (this lock is
wrong, because the server rebooted, but the lock is still there).
Try to edit the /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver script and include, before
anything else, a line rm -f /tmp/.X11-unix/X* and see if this solves the
problem. The file X0 (X-zero) belongs to the main X server and I think it
is correctly deleted when you logoff from X or reboot your machine; but X1,
X2,... usually remain there... I have this problem with RH62 too, but here
I have a manual script to start the vncs...
I'm writing on memory, so I'm not sure if the file names above are totally
correct. But I think you can figure the right ones.
Regards,
Spectra.

Reply-To: redha...@redhat.com
Charles,
Per our discussion/email.
The ppp (2.4.1-2) that ships with 7.2 is broken in terms of having cbcp
forced on. According to the bugzilla reports, this only is broken with rh
to windows client and not rh to rh machines.
See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55367
and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55776
Hope this is it anyhow!
