    Can anyone explain how to change the size/resolution of the test
    console? I'm running RH 8, but I would guess it's a generic RH thing.

    It defaults to something like 40 x 80 chars. but as I have a LARGE
    monitor I'd like to take advantage of this and I've failed to find out
    how to do this.

    Thanks

    Hello,
    The vi isn't found because its directory probably isn't at the PATH.
    You may use the full path to call vi (Something like /bin/vi) or edit the
    PATH variable for this session doing PATH=/bin;$PATH (if your shell is
    BASH)
    If you don't use BASH or still have doubts on how to do this, please send
    another e-mail to the list...
    Hope it helps.

    I use zoneedit.com to manage my DNS names and have scripts running
    locally that automatically change the DNS entries if/when my address
    changes.  The zoneedit service is free for small sites.

    If you're using sendmail, add something like this to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc:
    define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp:smtp.comcast.net')dnl
    Instructions for rebuilding the cf file from sendmail.mc are in the top
    of sendmail.mc.  Then, restart sendmail.  Your smart host will, of
    course, vary depending on who your ISP is.  Once you've done this,
    you'll see entries in maillog that say that you're relaying.

    Just type /usr/bin/vim /etc/profile
    vi is actually an alias for vim, and doesn't exist on your system.  vim
    lives in /usr/bin/, so if you've messed up your profile you just need to
    do explicit paths.

    The short answer would be both in most cases. Files in this 
    directory are often read by the various init scripts which 
    will be read at both boot time, as well as if a service is 
    manually stopped and started.

    Subject: HP SureStore T20 streamer crashes RH9 Linux
    Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 14:47:42 +0100
    Reply-To: redhat-list@redhat.com
    Hi.
    I want to setup an HP SureStore T20 streamer on a box with a newly installed
    RH9 Linux. The computer is Intel P3 800 MUh with 512 MB RAM. It's a
    small-office server used to distribute files to the intranet and providing
    internet capabilities (squid, apache, postfix, fetchmail, ...). I'm using
    Travan tapes with 10/20 GB (compressed) size. The streamer is connected to
    an SCSI controller DawiControl DC-2974 PCI (scsi0: Tekram DC390/AM53C974
    V2.0f 2000-12-20). There is a second one (scsi1: 3ware Storage Controller)
    for a 3ware RAID.  The system contains an IDE CD/DVD drive, two 3Com PCI
    3c905C Tornado Vers LK1.1.18-ac cards, and several on-board devices (audio,
    usb). The old OS was an SuSE Linux 7.0 and employees meant that the streamer
    worked during this time. I can't imagine why it makes problems now :-(
    The computer crashes if I'm storing big (several GB) directories. I'm
    starting the backup and after some hours the system hangs and nothing is
    able to reanimate the OS. I tested with these software packages: arkeia
    light, amanda and mt. Simple tests using tar and small files can be written
    and reread without any problems. A "mt rewind ; tar cf /dev/tape /data"
    allows me to reproduce the bug. After some time nothing works anymore, so I
    think it's not a client problem.
    Tested kernels were the standard RH9 kernel and an update I got from the RHN
    (version 2.4.20-20.9). The kernel log contains a lot of lines like the
    following:

      (last block repeated multiple times)
    I looked into the DC390 driver and I can't find a reason for the crash. The
    last driver code change occured in 2000 I believe. With Google I couldn't
    find any relevant information. Is this error known and do others have
    problems with such a configuration? Is there a better driver I could use for
    this streamer? If yes, where? What can I do to remove the problem? Every
    hint and any idea is possibly helpful.
    Thank you for reading this long mail.
    Regards,

    Reply-To: redhat-list@redhat.com
    Hello everybody,
    I've got a little problem.Here is what:
    I needed to change my PATH in the /etc/profile in order to run an
    application
    every time i logon as a user.Instead of giving the right path i gave a wrong
    one.For example in stead of writting:
    PATH=$PATH:/john/local/.....
    i wrote:
    PATH=$PATH:/root/john/local/.....
    At that time was a root.
    As a result i can not login either as a user or as root.When i try to logon
    on
    a
    failsafe session it gives me a message and the logon screen comes up again.
    On the logon screen i tried <Ctrl>+<Alt>+F1 to log on as a user.From that
    position i tried to run the vi editor in order to give the right path, but
    vi: command not found.
    I use RHL9.Does anybody know how can i edit in the /etc/profile??
    Thanks,
     John

    Have you looked at using pam_time module for this? It's an 
    OK method for PAM enabled services. Look at 
    /etc/security/time.conf for more info.

    Interesting use. What console messages are seen? Have you 
    tried changing from noauto to auto for the mount options? 
    With the current fstab line for /dev/fd0, can users manually 
    mount the drive?

    I would simply add that making manual changes to /etc/passwd 
      can result in not being able to log in if you make a 
    mistake  in defining the shell. A safer way is through 
    `chsh'. See the man page.

    This is a simple route decision which can be addressed by 
    setting your default gateway correctly. Look at

    What you want to do is control this via cracklib module for 
    the passwd PAM file. There are a variety of switches which 
    cracklib will take that control password length, variation 
    of characters etc. Specifically, the minlen="x" will force a 
    minimum length on passwords.
    Additionally, you will need to take into account the various 
    default credits which are given for specific characters and 
    perhaps alter their default value.
    Since you wish to use passwords longer than 8 characters, 
    make sure you are using md5 passwords and not crypt 
    passwords. Crypt will only encrypt or obscure the first 8 
    characters of a password in /etc/shadow, thus effectively 
    limiting the password length. md5 limits are much higher.
    More info. can be found in any PAM guide.
    Concerning not allowing users to change their passwords, 
    this is in general a bad idea, instead I would concentrate 
    on controlling the password usage, and how often they can be 
    changed. Take a look at /etc/login.defs

    It means that vi is not in your path anymore.  If you can get a shell at
    all, simply reset the path as follows:
    $ export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
    Alternatively, you can invoke vi directly with:
    $ /usr/bin/vim /etc/profile
    Of course, you could simply restore your profile from your editor backup
    if you only made the one change and you have backups enabled:
    $ /bin/mv /etc/profile~ /etc/profile

    Reply-To: redhat-list@redhat.com
    As Michael Wu suggested, get ssh to work without
    prompting for a password first.
    As I understand it from the thread below, you generated
    the rsa key for some(?) user on the local machine.  Then
    you copied that ~/.ssh/identity.pub over to the remote
    machine and added that key to the *root* user's 
    /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file.  And you still can't get
    the ssh to work without prompting for a password.
    First of all, what user did you create the ssh rsa key for
    on the local machine?  Was it the 'root' user?
    I think(?) what you need to do to get ssh to work is
      1. sign on to the local machine as the user you created
         the ssh rsa key for
      2. do this command
           ssh root@[remote machine]
         and if it's all set up right, you should NOT be
         prompted for a password, since the ssh rsa key you
         generated for the local user has been loaded into
         the root users authorized keys file on the remote
         machine.
    According to this example in the rsync manpage:
       rsync -az -e ssh --delete ~ftp/pub/samba/  nim-
       bus:"~ftp/pub/tridge/samba"
    I think your rsync might look something like this:
       rsync -az -e ssh --delete ~ftp/pub/samba/  nim-
       bus:"~ftp/pub/tridge/samba"
       /usr/bin/rsync -azl -e ssh  root@[remote machine]:/[remote path]/*
    /[local
       path]
    Look at this section from the rsync manpage on the
    -e, --rsh=COMMAND option:
    --------------------------------------------------
           -e, --rsh=COMMAND
               This  option  allows  you  to choose an alternative remote shell
               program to use for communication between the  local  and  remote
               copies  of  rsync.  Typically, rsync is configured to use rsh by
               default, but you may prefer to use ssh because of its high secu-
               rity.
     
    If  this  option is used with [user@]host::module/path, then the
               remote shell COMMMAND will be used to run an rsync server on the
               remote  host,  and  all  data  will  be transmitted through that
               remote shell connection, rather than  through  a  direct  socket
               connection  to  a  running rsync server on the remote host.  See
               the section "CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC SERVER OVER A  REMOTE  SHELL
               PROGRAM" above.
    I think you were missing the [user@] part of the remote host.
    HTH.

    Hi,
    	I just install Linux 9 and I know I setup root password but some
    how did not let me log in as root.  I setup as boot to graphic mode.  How
    can I change root password?  By the way i did create regular user account

    The scheduled time is like 1 minute earlier than what the time really is and

    Yes, even though it's a big no-no I'm doing this all as root. What you
    said is correct, created the rsa key, copied it and cat'ed it to
    authorized_keys for root on the remote machine. 
    I added the root@ to the rsync command and it's still prompting for
    password. 
    The most frustrating thing is that I had this working once before and
    documented it when I did it the first time. I'm following the same steps
    and I can't get it. The machine I had it working on is unrecoverable, so
    I can't do any comparison. 
    UGH!
    Thanks,
    James
