| Suse update issues |

Hello,
anyweb asked that I post an email I sent to him earlier today. The email is shown below.
-------------------Begin paste of email
Dear anyweb,
I recently started playing with linux on an older Dell Laptop. It is a CPI
D266XT. That is an old Pentium II machine
with only 128 Meg of Ram and a 4.3 Gig hard drive.
I had been running W2k on it but I wanted to try linux.
My first attempt at linux was with Fedora Core 4. Fedora Core 4 worked after
quite a bit of tinkering to get the
US Robotics 802.11g wireless card working. I had to install ndiswrapper and
play with the settings a bit.
One thing that Fedora absolutely refused to configure was the Crystal sound
system. It is a CS4237B chip which
should be supported by CS4236. Unfortionately it looks like Kudzu has some
severe bugs when it comes to older
isa plug and play devices like this sound card.
Since I work with Novell servers on a daily basis I decided to try Novell's
Suse Linux and let Fedora "season" a
little.
Suse 9.3 appears to be a pretty good distro. It had support for the wireless
card with the exception that I had to
install the firmware binary file from US Robotics WXP driver download. Once
that was installed the card came
to life. The sound card ended up taking a little trial and error as I found
out there were several chipset files that
might work. I ended up with a slightly older file working better than the
default file.
Everything seemed to be really rosey until I fired up Yast and told it to
update my system. I used the default selections
of Yast in so far as the security updates and the recommended updates. I
watched as Yast downloaded and installed
the updates. After I rebooted my system, however, I found that I no longer
went automatically to the KDE
displaymanager. Instead I was thrown into a simpler and not very pretty
displaymanager. I searched quite a few
websites and forums and found out others had a simular problem after
updating their SUSE 9.3 with Yast.
Your website was the first one that pointed out the easy fix of editing the
/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager file. My file
was also set to xdm instead of kdm. Once I made that change the system
booted up and went directly to KDE
like it used to.
I can only guess the displaymanager file was updated and for some reason the
older default of xdm was used in the
updated file, probably by mistake.
Thanks again for posting your experience with SUSE 9.3 .
Sincerely,
dzimmerm

| Setting up a simple NFS server |
|

In this guide I will show you how to setup a simple NFS server using Fedora, but I will show how to set it up via command line so you should be able to configure it on more than one distribution.
The first step is to make sure you have the NFS server software installed you can check this
by issuing the following command:
if you don't have this package installed, you can use the YUM packages management tool to install the package, to do this issue the following command:
Code: yum install nfs-utils
Once you have installed the package you can begin to configure the NFS server, you should have
a file in the /etc directory called: "exports". This file determines what directory's will be exported, who
is allowed to access them and what permissions they have.
In this tutorial I will be exporting my /home directory and allowing only the IP of 192.168.0.13 to
access this exported directory. So the first step is to edit the exports file and added the following:
Code: /home 192.168.0.13(rw,nohide)
The above exports the /home directory with the read and write permissions the attributes
inside the brackets can be read using the man command along with other attributes that can go in the brackets:
Once you have setup your export you should start the portmap daemon. The portmap daemon MUST always be running when running a NFS server.
Code: service portmap start
Once your portmap has been started you can start your NFS server:
Once the service has started you can check everything is running by issue the following
command:
You will get output similar to:
Code: program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
100003 4 udp 2049 nfs
100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs
100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs
100003 4 tcp 2049 nfs
100021 1 udp 32833 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 32833 nlockmgr
100021 4 udp 32833 nlockmgr
100021 1 tcp 32774 nlockmgr
100021 3 tcp 32774 nlockmgr
100021 4 tcp 32774 nlockmgr
100011 1 udp 704 rquotad
100011 2 udp 704 rquotad
100011 1 tcp 707 rquotad
100011 2 tcp 707 rquotad
100005 1 udp 706 mountd
100005 1 tcp 709 mountd
100005 2 udp 706 mountd
100005 2 tcp 709 mountd
100005 3 udp 706 mountd
100005 3 tcp 709 mountd
Once everything is checked out and the services are running you can connect form 192.168.0.13 and mount the /home directory.
Code: mount 192.168.0.2:/home /mnt/home
Replace 192.168.0.2 with your NFS servers IP and the /mnt/home mount point to one that
suites you.
if you make any changes to the export file you will need to reexport it instead of restarting the
services issue the following:
well you can now setup a simple NFS server and store your files on the server :)

hi guys
according to
Quote:[root@www root]# w 16:21:03 up 21:10, 3 users, load average: 0.04, 0.04, 0.00
the site is up only a few hours, which to me is rather annoying....
I didn't reboot it, further examination revealed that all logs are OK and not one of them mentions a reboot or crash, indeed not only that but ifconfig shows data throughput that just 'doesnt happen' on linux-noob.com in 21 hours....
Quote:[root@www root]# ifconfig eth0eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:B0:D0:88:FF:78
inet addr:100.0.0.3 Bcast:100.0.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0

Interrupt:10 Base address:0xfc00
ok then, so what is happening here ?
well according to this site the uptime changed after a certain number of days/hours
[/url]http://en.uptime-project.net/page.php?page...ofile&uid=60313
Quote:1. 26.04.2004 14:42 GMT 05.09.2005 16:21 GMT 1y 132d 01h 38m 07s Linux 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl
and we all know that there are 365 days or so in the year, and 365+132 =497 days....
well guess what. the above linux kernel (fedora) was unpatched for a uptime overflow after 497 days, so the server did NOT reboot, but the uptime WAS RESET by a bug in the kernel.
[url=https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=97373]https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=97373
if only i knew before it 'reset' itself.
dam annoying and i'd like to announce this post so that others may be aware in the future.
cheers

I have a D-link router connected to a LAN where we need to use vpn.
I have two computers (debian and windows XP) connected to the router, both are able to set up a vpn-tunnel. The problem is when I set up one vpn connection from my debian machine, and another vpn connection from windows XP, that everything works but very slowly (400B/s wher a "normal connection should deliver 800kB/s) in the beginning and stops working after 2-3 minutes.
What did I do wrong?
Do I need to let my router making the vpn connection?
Is this possible?
Thx in advance

| resolv.conf is overwritten on reboot |

Just a quick tip:
For those using DHCP clients, you will proably find that on reboots that your resolv.conf is overwritten. To stop this from happening you can:
For dhcpcd its easy, add the option -R to your command line:
You will need to find the configuration file to edit and add this option to (differs per distro).
For dhcp-client there is a couple of options, the best, imho is to create a file "/etc/dhcp-enter-hooks":
Code: # /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks
make_resolv_conf() {
echo "doing nothing to resolv.conf"
}
Thats it... have fun,..
