Thanks for the reply.

The machine is currently on RH 7.1 and it dual boots to a LFS (linux from
scratch) system. It is the LFS system it will not turn off under ;( It
works from RH 7.1.

A look at kern.log says:
Sep 12 16:50:20 client kernel: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16)

I'll turn off CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF=y and see what happens.

Thanks again,
From here on out I am going to roll my own systems.

This looks good. I printed out the page you mentioned, too. Next time I
boot to MEPIS I'll have a go at it.

Then use SMB. Or use NFS and make sure that the client doesn't remap
users. Or use NFS plus kerberos.

Is there any reason why I have to repeat this?
 

There is no such thing as "the user logging in on each machine"> So
your plan goes out the window right there. COme back when you can
rephrase without that concept. Each machine has dozens of people logged
on to it.

 

Yes, of course. I said so! Access is per-machine. Unless you use
kerberized NFS.
 

Of course.
 

Why not? If you can't, then don't use NFS, since NFS authentication is
per machine, not per user (modulo kerberos and v4.x).

Let your users log in to your machine if you prefer. Or let them use
SMB.
 

Why? What's the problem?
 

Of course it does! Do you think it happens by magic? Your client has to
be configured to use ldap authentication agaisnt a particular ldap
server.
 

Uh - who told it to use dhcp? Most people set the IP address THEY want
But if you want to get the address of the ldap server, why don't you do
it via some other more normal mechanism?

 

And what's the difference to what you'd do in linux or os x? In all
cases you simply configure the machien the way you want it. Except that
in windows you can't do it the way you want it unless it coincides with
BGs master plan. In linux, you can do anything you want.

 


What is your difficulty? When I set up ldap it was a question of
flipping to the howto, making the couple of lines changes in the config
files they said to make, and hey presto. I said above what was required
- just a few changes in the pam.d files for login, su, ssh and such,
plus a fallback generic change in the resolution order for pwgetent in
libc via nsswitch. Your libs shoudl already by ldap ready.

Oh - I don't recall where one had to configure the ldap client. It
should be obvious where to tell it what the server is. Presumably in
/etc/ldap. Check the howto!

two "at" in host-name?

Posted: 12 Sep 2004 07:29 AM PDT

In article <at>, OS.IS.LINUX wrote: 

Not enough detail - what was the context? For that matter, what post,
in what newsgroup (or whatever) by whom, and when?
 

HUH??? Well, hostnames are defined by RFC952, which starts out with

1. A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up
to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus
sign (-), and period (.). Note that periods are only allowed when
they serve to delimit components of "domain style names". (See
RFC-921, "Domain Name System Implementation Schedule", for
background). No blank or space characters are permitted as part of a
name. No distinction is made between upper and lower case. The first
character must be an alpha character. The last character must not be
a minus sign or period.

Technically, this refers to the original hosts table that predated DNS,
but it's still applicable. RFC1034 and 1035 also address hostnames,
but really don't change the characters (although the length is increased).

Now, I _really_ think you must be referring to something else, but I'm
not sure what it might be. If that is a _mail_ address, the '@' symbol
was used to denote relaying points (see RFC0821 section 3.6), but it's
quite rare now.

SOLVED grub.conf has disappeared -- FC2 / WinXP-SP2

If that were true, you would never have posted in the first place. You did,
affter all, post that you lost your grub directory. Or was that a lie?
 

Right. That follows logically from the thread, the one in which you simply
could not either figure out what was going on or report the symptoms
accurately.

how to mount usb digicam on SuSE 9.1?

Posted: 11 Sep 2004 10:42 AM PDT

I've just reinstalled SuSE (I'd messed around with the disk partitioning
to free up some space and messed up GRUB, I think) so maybe I've updated
soemthing that I hadn't previously, but now it works: it comes up with
the camera as a mass storage device on /media/ which is exactly what I want.

dual boot setup trouble - laptop (very detailed, need help)

Posted: 10 Sep 2004 11:27 AM PDT

> First try: 

Did windows still boot after the resize?
I would suspect that far more then having grub/lilo in the MBR.
 

What are you doing during the installation?
 

No, it doesn't. But like you said, you made partitions. (point 1)
This is easy enough to fix though.
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-May/msg00908.html
would have worked in this case.
 

There is no reason for this.
 

This is impossible, unless hda1 is your ext'd partition, but then
where is XP?
 

That was not the problem. I have many dual boot system with lilo/grub
in the MBR.
 

I do not use the NT loader, so I cannot tell if this is enough.
 

You have chosen type 0x0F, which is win95 extended.
No problem there.
 

Yes. if grub/lilo was installed there. Check the bootsect.lnx file
with a hex editor. Does it look ok?
 

Yes, all of them (the tools are not the problem). You can also create the
partitions first, eg, with partition magic from windows.

Can't restore Red Hat Ent V3 from tape

I know BRU and use it myself. It will backup all the files you specify.
CRU is a free package (that requires BRU) that will enable a bare-metal
restore. Not only does it restore files, it uses information (at backup
time) from fdisk so that it can remake the partition tables, etc. I.e., if
your machine gets hit by lightning, all you need do is buy a new one with
a suitable tape drive, and disk drives at least as large as the old ones,
put in the two floppies and the tape and be back where you started. It
remakes the partitions, sets up /dev with all your permissions, etc.
 

Assuming your partition table was not messed up, and you really backed up
everything under / (root), I would expect this to have worked. Assuming
you have a separate /boot partition properly located, or a machine where
the 1024 cylinder limit is not a problem (newer machines do not have this
problem).
 

In other words, you installed several updates without making a new backup?
In that case, you better have vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL ohn the machine as
well as it may try to boot that. But from your original description, you
do not even get to the point where it asks which version you want. Perhaps
grub does not ask if you have only one. Since I never have less than two
(SMP and UP), I do not know what it does.

Do you have splash.xpm.gz in /boot/grub?
