Then all your other systems can sync their time with your time server. Fow Windoze machines you can download a program called NetTime which can be found at SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/nettime/ For the configuration of NTP then use the following HowTo at http://www.ntp.org/ Ed Gurski

logrotate
by Steve Searle 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Having setup yum to update automatically, I have noticed that the logfile isn't being rotated. This led me to look at cron.daily and logrotate for the first time. I am clearly missing something, and wonder if anyone can explain. On my standard core 1 build, cron.daily runs /etc/cron.daily/logrotate This runs /usr/sbin/logrotate using /etc/logrotate.conf In terms of which logs are rotated, the only relevant entry in this conf file seems to be include /logrotate.d This directory includes a number of files, including yum, which contains /var/log/yum.log { missingok notifempty size 30k create 0600 root root } There are other logs being rotated, e.g. messages, cron, maillog that are being rotated that do not seem to be mentioned here. And yum.log seems never to have been located in over a month. What am I missing?

I had the same problem this is the sol. Edit the /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld script and add "-u mysqld" to the lines that issue the "mysqladmin ping" command so they look like this: mysqladmin -u mysqld ping That should do the trick. ;) -- Cordialmente, Webmaster Dsl Data Solutions

DNS Woes
by stucklenp＠charter.net 28 Mar '04

I have a challenge: since running "yum update" and blindly accepting all the packages and then rebooting, I have not been able to get my Fedora box on the Web. Since that system is my firewall box it is really important that I get it running again. Note that I get the same symptoms with or without the firewall running. The NIC is configured to "Automatically obtain IP address settings with DHCP" and "Automatically obtain DNS information from provider" (I have tried manually setting DNS addresses as well.) When the network service is started, the NIC does get a valid IP from the ISP, as verified by the ISP. As well, I see the lease information in the messages log. "...dhclient: bound to <myIP> -- renual in 13961 seconds... ifup: done... network: Bringing up interface etho: succeeded" Other Symptoms: ping <external IP> results in "Destination port Unreachable." ping <leased IP> Works fine. Redhat Network Configuration show the NIC active and "ok" resolve.conf contains the correct IPs for the ISP's DNS servers. To add insult to injury, when I plug my Windoze box into the cable modem and set its IP to use DHCP, I have no problem attaching to the Web. Any ideas as to how I can resolve this? Thanks

I run two XServers in different resolutions (I use the lower resolution one to connect old external projectors which do not support 1400x1050). What I do is to define two layouts in the same XF86Config file (actually I have three, but I use only two) and I make gdm.conf to start up two displays, each of them using a layout. The relevant pieces of the files are: XF86Config: #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "TFT" Screen 0 "Screen1400" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "External1024" Screen 2 "Screen1024" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1400" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1024" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a TP40, and I also set the BIOS so that the LCD has to be copied to the external output. gdm.conf (only changes at the end, in the servers section, comments removed); the -layout option to the X server tells the server which layout should be chosen from the XF86Config file. #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [servers] 0=External 1=Standard # Definition of the standard X server.

Server Data Backup
by Kc2LTO - Andrew Ragone 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Hello, I have I linux box that I am intending to reformat and install the OS again. The thing is I need to back upp all the data to my desktop [windows] including all files on the HD. I would like to keep permissions although it is not necessary. I have tried FTP through SSH and SMB connections. SFTP does not work and SMB says "cannot copy files" ______________ Andrew Ragone Kc2LTO www.lifeonedge.com 201.406.0298
