dhclient not using settings in .conf file
by Thomas Fischer 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

All, I am having a weird problem with dhclient, that I have no idea how to resolve! I have some prepend an postpend statements in dhclient conf file. Statements like this: supersede domain-name "fischer-lxsrv.work.tvf-prod.com"; prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; supersede ntp-servers 66.187.233.4,66.187.224.4; request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name; However dhclient never uses these and only inserts the values received from the dhcp server. So far example, I never see the 127.0.0.1 in my /etc/resolv.conf... Any ideas on why this happening and how I can debug this? thanks --t

Compiling/generate 32-bit version of a program on x86-64
by Reuben D. Budiardja 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hello, My platform is AMD-64 running Fedora 4 64-bit version. Is there a way for me to compile and generate 32-bit version of a program ( in C )? How does one do that using GCC ? Since 64-bit version also install all the 32-bit compatibility library, that should not be a problem, is it ? One of the reasons I want to do this because I have an object file ( .o ) that I need to link againts, but the object file is in 32-bit, and I don't have the source to regenerate the object file. During linking, ld generates warning : /usr/bin/ld: warning: i386 architecture of input file `api/render.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output and the program will segfaults if run, which does not happen if I compiled the program in 32-bit machine. But since my working desktop is 64-bit, I am wondering if there's a way for me to do it without having to look for 32-bit machine. Thanks for any help. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.

Nagios plugins
by J. K. Cliburn 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Nagios plugins aren't included with either the nagios or nagios-devel rpms from Fedora Extras. Is there another package I'm overlooking that might contain them? I've downloaded the source from nagios.org and built the plugins myself, but they seem like a pretty important part of the overall nagios strategy to be left out of the rpms. TIA, Jay

formating external USB hard drive
by François Patte 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Bonjour, I have a USB hard drive and 3 questions: 1- I suppose that this hd is dos-formatted by default. Is it because this that I had a problem of file size limitation? I couldn't create a file more than 4.2Gb. 2- Is the problem will be the same with an ext3 file system, and will udev/hotplug/hal recognize and automatically mount the device if I format it with mkfs.ext3? 3- How to format the external hd, for it has to unmounted before being formated? Thanks for help. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Université René Descartes http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

You might have a look at linuxant drivers. (www.linuxant.com) I have a Belkin 54g wireless desktop card (F5D7000) succesfully working with a linuxant driver on a fc4-box. Hope this helps. Peter

hp-toolbox
by Peter Lesterhuis 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Hi, Since the last update of hplip (0.9.7-4.2) hp-toolbox doesn't function anymore. When I type hp-toolbox the hp-toolbox window opens with a red cross across the printer icon. Before the update the hp-toolbox was working properly. The printer is a PSC 2410 all in one. Printing and scanning is without problem. I reinstalled the all-in-one following instructions at http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php, but to no avail: still a broken hp-toolbox. I tried to get some help from the hplip-mailing-list, but no suggestions were posted. Does anyone have the hp-toolbox still working since the last update on fc4? Peter Lesterhuis.

Cacti and Nagios uses snmp, I believe and nagios is quite extensive and flexible IMO. Not sure if it is overkill for your needs or hard to setup but I used it for my 13+ home systems. Quite nice and it lets me know immediately if a system is down or if resources are being depleted. You can use pagers and email notification and perhaps send a message to your cell phone.
