Red Hat 9 to FC2 and email
by Burn Alting
Hi peoples,
I just installed FC2 onto my system which was running Redhat 9.0 (RH9)
On the RH9 system I used to serve some users e-mail accounts using pop3.
As these were casual Windows users, I'd run fetchmail to collect their
e-mail from the ISP and then their e-mail would wait in
/var/spool/mail/user_name until they checked their e-mail from their
Windows PC. Their PC's would send their e-mail directly to the ISP's
smtp server so I didn't configure sendmail or postfix.
With the change to my system to FC2, I discovered that pop3 is now
managed by the Cyrus IMAP mailer system. I worked out how to create
their mailboxes and login via cyrus but I am at a loss to find out how
to
a. Convert their existing /var/spool/mail/xxx mailboxes
to the Cyrus system
and
b. Given they are casual users, I want to still use
fetchmail to get their mail off the ISPs' system, so
how do I get any new mail into the Cyrus system
Thanks in advance

copying large files between filesystems
by Andrew Scott
Hello, this isn't necessarily a Fedora specific question either. It is
happening while operating from a Fedora Core II install, and I just
subscribed to this mailing list which seems to get a good deal of
talented traffic. Please allow me to throw this one out there and I
promise to be of assistance with other people's problems in the future. :)
I'm trying to copy a large bzip2 archive that is a little bit larger
than 2 Gigs, from a disk with a resierfs filesystem on it, to another
disk with ext3 filesystem. I only mention the filesystem types because
I think this might be the cause of my problem. Immediately after I made
the original bzip2 archive I ran md5sum on the resulting file, and kept
a copy of that number. After I copy the file to another filesystem, I
can not get the same md5sum. I've tried cp, rsync, scp, and dd and they
each seem to come up with different md5sums. The byte count is the same
however, but the md5sum is always different, so something however
minimal is changing and henceforth throwing off the whole bzip2 archive
and rendering it unexstractable. I'm totally stressed because this is a
back up of my homedir from before a reinstall. :-/ And I'm worried
that the original filesystem that I wrote the backup to (the reiserfs
filesystem) was so old that it didn't recognize files greater than 2
Gigs, silently.
If I md5sum the file, still in it's place, it's still good.
Any ideas why I can't get matching md5sums from a file copy between
filesystems of different type? Any ideas how to recover from this?
Thanks in advance, anyone, with thoughts,
-Andrew

To HT or not to HT?
by Jon Fanti
Hi guys,
We've started buying replacement servers for our aging equipment here (it took a
while to squeeze the money out of the bean counters!), most of the new equipment is
coming with HT (Hyper Threading)-enabled Xeon or P4 CPUs. Is it worth using HT
with FC2? Mostly our servers are running apache and MySQL plus some PHP
scripts. I can't find any where that says I should/shouldn't enable HT. What's the
general recommendation? I'm tempted to just turn it off unless I am likely to notice a
nice big performance gain from leaving it on?
Thanks,
Jon.

Thin Clients
by Mario Casamalhuapa
I have a situation and I need some advice. We have some old dumb
terminals, that connect to a Unix server. The dumb terminals are being
replaced by PCs with Fedora. How can I make fedora log in to this server
and mimic this dumb terminal. All I need is a prompt to the server. And
if the PC is powered on and off it should always return to this prompt,
nothing else.

Input/output errors on file accesses with Fedora Core 2
by David Robson
Hi
I have two applications that simultaneously analyse a large (~750Mb) file.
One application does a "tail -f" on the file. The other does a "cat"
When they are both running, after a few seconds, the "cat" process fails
with the following error
cat: <NAME OF MY FILE>: Input/output error
The file is on a NFS mounted server, but the problem occurs no matter
how I do the mounts. I have tried udp, tcp, increasing the number of
transmissions
and changing the buffer sizes. I am not sure if NFS is an issue. I
have tried copying
the file to a local disk, but then the "cat" is so quick, there isn't
enought time for
the error to occur.
I am using the 2.6.6-1.435 kernel; the problem occurs for the SMP and the
uniprocessor flavours. I am running Fedora Core 2. The applications work
fine on RedHat 9
Has anyone seen this before, of have any ideas?
TIA

2.6 modules search path
by Tim Fenn
I recently upgraded to FC2, and everything has been working fine.
however, I'd like to try out some experimental v4l modules. I can
install them fine in /lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435/v4l, but modprobe still
insists on using the stock modules in
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435/kernel/drivers - is there a way around this
other than overwriting the stock modules? I remember in the days of
modules.conf, one could use "path[toplevel]=/dir/to/stuff"
declarations, but from what I understand of modprobe.conf, this isn't
possible (yet?) in the 2.6 series releases.
Thanks for any pointers.
Regards,
Tim F.
