Sorry for my stupidness, could you explain what is mean by "change out the users shell with the sftp-server binary"?? Can provide a example if it is easy ? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

HELP - trying to use YUM with Fedora3
by Reg Clemens 03 May '05

03 May '05

From: clemens(a)dwf.com Im trying to use YUM with Fedora3, (I previously used apt-get), and I must be doing something stupid, but I cant see it. in /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.os I have the RPMS from the 4 binary CDs in /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.updates I have all the updates to date. I have run yum-arch on each of them, viz yum-arch /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.os yum-arch /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.updates my /etc/yum.conf file reads [root@orion etc]# more /etc/yum.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum # debuglevel=2 debuglevel=10 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest # distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 # gpgcheck=1 gpgcheck=0 # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d [base] name=Fedora3 Core base baseurl=ftp://orion/yum/fedora3/RPMS.os gpgcheck=0 [updates] name=Fedora3 Core updates baseurl=ftp://orion/yum/fedora3/RPMS.updates gpgcheck=0 --- When I TRY to run 'yum update' to bring this initial install up to date, I get the message: [root@orion ~]# yum update Repository base already added, not adding again Yum Version: 2.1.11 COMMAND: yum update Installroot: / You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing. However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download the keys for packages you wish to install and install them. You can do that by running the command: rpm --import public.gpg.key For more information contact your distribution or package provider. --- Now I have several problems: (1) why is it saying 'You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys' when I turned that off in [main] and in each section??? (2) The command 'rpm --import public.gpg.key' does NOT work, I get: root@orion ~]# rpm --import public.gpg.key error: public.gpg.key: import read failed. (3) What is this message 'Repository base already added, not adding again' --- any and all help appreciated,- If I cant get this thing to work, or at least get some sensable error messages out of it, Im going to have to go back to apt-get (sigh).

SCSI tape problems
by Terry Horsnell 03 May '05

03 May '05

Hi all, I wonder if I could ask your advice about a very strange SCSI tape problem I'm having. I have an Overland Neo2000 tapelibrary containing dual Quantum SDLT2 drives, attached to a dual Opteron box via an Adaptec 3920 controller. The system is running FC3 up2date'd on April 6th and with kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp. The problem appears to be that the tapes drop records when being written, but that this can be fixed by increasing the blocksize. I have a bunch of test files filled with random numbers: e.g. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 500000 Apr 26 11:03 tapetest500K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1000000000 Apr 26 12:48 /var/tapetest1G When I write these to tape and read them back, I get things like the following: [root@ls1 ~]$ dd if=tapetest500K of=/dev/st1 bs=10240 ; dd if=/dev/st1 of=junk bs=10240 ; cmp tapetest500K junk 48+1 records in 48+1 records out 36+1 records in 36+1 records out tapetest500K junk differ: byte 215041, line 854 [root@ls1 ~]$ dd if=tapetest500K of=/dev/st1 bs=20480 ; dd if=/dev/st1 of=junk bs=20480 ; cmp tapetest500K junk 24+1 records in 24+1 records out 24+1 records in 24+1 records out [root@ls1 ~]$ ( cd /var ; dd if=tapetest1G of=/dev/st1 bs=10240 ; dd if=/dev/st1 of=junk bs=10240 ; cmp tapetest1G junk ) 97656+1 records in 97656+1 records out 90107+1 records in 90107+1 records out tapetest1G junk differ: byte 215041, line 866 [root@ls1 ~]$ ( cd /var ; dd if=tapetest1G of=/dev/st1 bs=20480 ; dd if=/dev/st1 of=junk bs=20480 ; cmp tapetest1G junk ) 48828+1 records in 48828+1 records out 48801+1 records in 48801+1 records out tapetest1G junk differ: byte 2621441, line 10186 [root@ls1 ~]$ (cd /var ; dd if=tapetest1G of=/dev/st1 bs=32768 ; dd if=/dev/st1 of=junk bs=32768 ; cmp tapetest1G junk) 30517+1 records in 30517+1 records out 30517+1 records in 30517+1 records out [root@ls1 ~]$ The problem happens on both tapedrives. No errors are logged in /var/log/messages. The Neo2000 system performs faultlessly when attached to my Alpha box. Does this look to you like a hardware problem? Or could it be a driver issue? Unfortunately I dont have enough spare kit to try things on another box. Regards, Terry

large files
by Tim 03 May '05

03 May '05

I have several .wav files (1200 +) but can't get them down to fit on my second 40 gb drive. My FC3 install is damaged but works, but I would like to move the files but can't get them down below 30 gb with tar and gzip. Bzip is only slightly smaller. The total is about 45 gb. I could ask how to fix the problems on my install step by step instead of reinstalling. The superblock was damaged and I did a reinstall saving the old data, twice. any ideas short of purchasing a new drive would be helpful, I do have a cd burner but that seems impracticable with that much data.

Madwifi & Initialize on Boot
by disguised.jedi＠gmail.com 03 May '05

03 May '05

I have successfully compiled the madwifi drivers and installed all the modules. I can modprobe and load the modules, and I got the card configured right with Kuduzu, and that all works just FINE AND DANDY! However, Fedora won't connect to the network properly on boot. I run "/sbin/iwconfig ath0" and I see that everything is configured according to the settings in the system-config-network program, but the encryption key is set to "none". I do "/sbin/iwconfig ath0 key ****-*****-****-****-****-****-**" and then bring the connection up with the "Activate" button in "system-config-network" and it connects in just a few seconds. Is there something I need to change in order to make it apply all the settings BEFORE trying to bring the adapter up? Is this just a little bug in madwifi that has a workaround? What am I missing here? I've already asked a question here once and got very great responses! Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this!
