SMB Printer
by Matt Whiteley
I have a printer shared from a win98se box. It is configured without a
password. It used to work in shrike but now when I try to add it
nothing happens.
Steps:
Run the printing tool
Select add printer
Select smb printer
Printer is found automagically
Select printer
User is asked for name and password
This is where I tried everything I could think of. It shouldn't need a
password. Selecting ok makes the box disappear and reappear. Putting
in the microsoft networking password with or without a user name doesn't
work. Any ideas?
thanks,

Severn NFS Install
by EricRyd@cdw.com
I'm trying to install severn via NFS. I have an rh8 server up and running.
I downloaded the iso's to that server. I did the mount -o loop ... and was
able to copy the RedHat folders to a exported folder. I also went in to the
iso and made a boot disk. When attempting to do an nfs install it wanted
nic drivers. I tried the drvnet.img but that didn't work. So I used an
rh9's drvnet.img and that worked. Yet, when I input the nfs path it comes
back stating I need to use the same media on both ends.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric

suggestions
by Féliciano Matias
Sorry for my poor English.
* Add bittorrent because it's the best way to grab RedHat Linux.
* http://rhl.redhat.com/ should follow w3c standards !
For a "quite" community project, it's a shame.
* Create a page of related projects that use RedHat Linux and/or don't
fit into the "Official" RedHat Linux :
- freshrpms
- fedora
- yellow dog Linux
* Create a directory for propriatory or free drivers easy to install in
RedHat Linux but not supported by RedHat.
* As a community project, can you *please* add mailing-list (only
rhl-list, beta, devel and so don't seem necessary) to Deutcsh, French,
Spanish, ... audience.
By the way can you at least translate some pages of
http://rhl.redhat.com/ . For example the home page, pages in the about
directory and participate/communicate/ .
This is very useful if a French man say "C'est quoi RedHat Linux ?"
(What is RedHat Linux ?) or "J'ai un problème, où je peux en parler" (I
have a problem, where can i tell about it ?).
It's a pity because documentations and its translation are of excellent
quality.
* Add to the FAQ why there is no mp3/dvd support in RedHat Linux (in a
convincing way). it's one of favourites Mandrake/Debian user
"running-gag".
By the way, do the same by explaining why not providing apt or yum.

Reason for the change
by Simon Perreault
First, thanks a lot for making Red Hat Linux more open and friendly to the
community! I'm sure you'll get tons of thanks in code and patches too.
Anyone care to explain the reason for the change? Something other than "it was
the right thing to do", which we know it was. I mean, Red Hat is a business,
and it's not often we see businesses opening products for community input
this way. Where did the push come from? Was any particular person or group
more involved than others? Any big market factors? How long has it been in
the planning?
Granted, this is not as big a surprise as if Microsoft did that to Windows,
but still, I am shocked! :)

Initial thoughts on Severn
by Mike Martin
I have the following observations on severn
1. Gnumeric/abiword
why is the gnumeric version 1.0.x rather than 1.1.9. The 1.0 series
is not really being developed anymore
Why cant you select abiword for install either during install or via
the add/remove programs (it rocks hard)
2. Add/remove programs - only programs that appear in the package
list during install appear (se above) and nothing happens when you
press preferences.
A question - would it not be better for all packages that belong in
the group to appear when you click details/install and not just a
subset.
3. Another vote for gnome 2.3 - it certainly appears to be more
stable than previous releases in this point in the cycle.
4. Can we have Bitstream installed as default
5. A long runing issue has been bzip2-devel not being installed when
you select development in the installer. I am not sure if this is a
ftp install issue, but I did not see an option to select all packages
during install.
6. redhat-config-httpd
This fails with a failure of xslt. python module - where is this?
Also rpm -q --requires redhat-config-packages shows apacheconf as a
requirement, but this is not in the package listing.
(this may affect other server config scripts - have not had chance to
check)
7. Should not the release notes be amended to give updated packages
as in previous releases (as shown by the confusion over gcc32)
I hope this is seen as constructive - its meant to be.

httpd-2.0.45-14 starts, but always dies shortly after
by Mark Mielke
I did a search in the bug tracking database and did not find a reference
to this issue.
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start' and /var/log/messages report that
httpd-2.0.45-14 starts successfully:
Jul 22 10:54:42 mark httpd: httpd startup succeeded
The process sticks around for a few ticks (long enough to catch it
once or twice with 'ps -ef' if I am quick enough) and then dies an
abrupt death. Using 'gdb /usr/sbin/httpd' 'set args -X' 'run' I was
able to determine that:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread -1084365088 (LWP 3148)]
0x00000000 in ?? ()
(gdb) where
#0 0x00000000 in ?? ()
#1 0x00fc8f50 in KRB5_AUTHENT_it () from /lib/libcrypto.so.4
I tried replacing openssl-0.9.7a-16.i686 with openssl-0.9.7a-16.i386,
and at around the same spot I received (debug trace lost) an invalid
instruction trap. After restoring openssl-0.9.7a-16.i686, the above
error returned.
My host platform is an intel P3. I am currently running httpd-2.0.47
(built from the tar file at apache.org) in the interim.
Cheers,
mark

New redhat-config-packages feedback thread
by Nicholas Marsh
I like the idea behind the new redhat-config-packages. However, I liked the old UI better (it seemed less redundant). IMHO, its better to be able to add or remove packages just by checking or unchecking them rather than having to be on the "add side" or "remove side" of the application.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?

new package proposal: moodss
by Jean-Luc Fontaine
I would like to propose the following application for inclusion. All the
required rpms are either present in the current Red Hat distribution or
available on my homepage.
Note that this software has been running for 4 months already on a Red
Hat 9 production system (more than 10 million samples recorded in a
MySQL database 24 hours a day). This GPL software is used by IBM to
monitor its Linux mainframe (see the "IBM e-server zSeries and S/390:
System Management" redbook) and got an excellent review from Unix Review
(further information with screenshots at http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss/).
Let me know what you think...
Here is a short blurb:
Moodss is a modular multi-platform monitoring application, which
supports operating systems (Linux, UNIX, Windows, ...), databases
(MySQL, PostgreSQL, DB2, ODBC, ...), networking (SNMP, Apache, ...), and
any device or process for which a module can be developed (in a
scripting or compiled language: Tcl, Python, Perl, C).
A very intuitive GUI with full drag'n'drop support allows the
construction of powerful dashboards with graphs, pie charts, ..., such
as one which would use the cpustats, memstats, apache and MySQL myhealth
modules to monitor a busy dynamic web server. Proactive monitoring is
achieved via a thorough thresholds functionality, including warning by
multiple emails, user defined scripts, and an included daemon for
background monitoring.
Finally, on top of real-time monitoring, any part of the visible data
can be stored in a SQL database (MySQL, ODBC or SQLite) by both the GUI
and daemon applications, so that, for example, complete history over
time can be made available in web pages, common spreadsheet software, or
presentations.
