Hello Linux folkz, I'm using 2.4.2 kernel with ReiserFS. I've got totally annoyed with these message in /var/log/warn Mar 28 20:09:47 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module Mar 28 20:09:48 linux kernel: ip_conntrack (4095 buckets, 32760 max) Could somebody tell me please what kind of service or module is it? Thanks in advance. Alex -- MS Windows users should be covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act! --------------> Try Linux and you'll understand why <--------------

Site performance (fwd)
by John Karns 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

Anybody here recently visited Dell's site? Here's a copy of the msg I sent to the webmaster. Actually the BW I got was more like 300 bytes / sec - painfully slow, with lots of stalls. I also perused some of the other sites which were mentioned by Fred here (zdnet, bbc, computer world) while waiting for Dell's pages to load and all of them responded quickly. -------------------------------- I've been frequenting your site for about three weeks, - I purchased an Inspiron 8000. My experience with your site has been that it is usually on the slow side, often VERY slow. During my visit tonite, I also experienced an average BW of 500 bytes / sec or less. Then I noticed that the page has an .asp suffix, and I realized why it's so slow. For grins I checked a Altavista to see if maybe it was my ISP here, which it happens also uses an MS platform for it's routers etc, also yielding widely varying performance, as the ppp graph section on my system performance meter shows as being very inconsistent (jumps all over the scale, from 6k / sec to 0 and everywhere in between), but as usual, AV was quite snappy, so I don't think it's a bottleneck here. I wonder how much business Dell has lost because of this... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns jkarns(a)csd.net

I just upgraded KDE2 to the new version, 2.1.1 using all of SuSE's rpms found in the upgrade for 7.1 directory. Now when I try to run kde or (startx) I receive an error stating, DCOP server error unable to connect. Any Ideas? Thanks CrazyD __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Smb question and Portmap...
by ESix 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

Greetz all.. I am securing a box that is multihomed and I am running samba on the box. I do not however want samba running on both interfaces, just the internal... so I put the line : interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24 in the global section of the smb.conf and restart the service. I do a nmap on my external interface and port 139 is still open! Has anybody had this problem? Also is there a way to bind sunrpc to the internal nic? I do not see running these out of xinetd as a valid option! Also, I have noticed some flaky stuff with xinetd. Mainly when I have disabled = servicename, for the internal services.. it does not disable them. If I comment out the whole section it does.. same for the interface = statement.. TIA, you guys rock!

the output of glib-config --prefix = /usr/local and when i configure i get this error this was my config command ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --datadir=/usr/local/share --sysconfdir=/etc/X11 --with-glib-prefix=/usr/local --with gtk-prefix=/usr/local checking for siginterrupt... yes checking for scandir... yes checking for glib-config... /usr/local/bin/glib-config checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.6... *** 'glib-config --version' returned 1.2.9, but GLIB (1.2.8) *** was found! If glib-config was correct, then it is best *** to remove the old version of GLIB. You may also be able to fix the error *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing *** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is *** required on your system. *** If glib-config was wrong, set the environment variable GLIB_CONFIG *** to point to the correct copy of glib-config, and remove the file config.cache *** before re-running configure no configure: error: Cannot find GLIB: Is glib-config in path? all advice i thank in advance -- SuSe 7.0 Linux 2.4.2 i686 Wed Mar 28 21:05:00 EST 2001

Re: [SLE] In which package do I find a certain program?

Ok, I'll make one up. Recently I wanted to know what inet daemons are shipped: > susegrep inetd ginetd-0.99.2-161.i386.rpm cd2 xap1 ginetd.rpm ginetd-0.99.2-161.src.rpm cd6 zq2 ginetd.spm inetd-1.0-54.i386.rpm cd1 n1 inetd.rpm inetd-1.0-54.src.rpm cd6 zq2 inetd.spm rinetd-0.61-159.i386.rpm cd1 n1 rinetd.rpm rinetd-0.61-159.src.rpm cd6 zq2 rinetd.spm xinetd-2.1.8.8p3-21.i386.rpm cd1 n1 xinetd.rpm xinetd-2.1.8.8p3-21.src.rpm cd6 zq2 xinetd.spm This shows long names, version numbers, SuSE series, and CD it's on. The rpm's 1-line summary: > susegrep -s inetd ginetd Tool for editing /etc/inetd.conf inetd The inetd networking daemon kineted Editor for inetd configuration rinetd TCP redirection server sslwrap An encrypting inetd service xinetd Another 'inetd' with expanded functionality Or the size of the installed package: > susegrep -S inetd ginetd 0.99.2 161 i386 62279 ginetd 0.99.2 161 src 18056 inetd 1.0 54 i386 34683 inetd 1.0 54 src 58771 rinetd 0.61 159 i386 103958 rinetd 0.61 159 src 61878 xinetd 2.1.8.8p3 21 i386 235231 xinetd 2.1.8.8p3 21 src 270610 If you're looking for a certain file, say the jpeg library: > susegrep -f libjpeg [this shows 32 lines, I'll delete most of them here:] ibmjava2.rpm.ls:/usr/lib/jdk1.3/jre/bin/libjpeg.so libgrout.rpm.ls:/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libjpeg.a libgrout.rpm.ls:/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libjpeg.sa libjpeg.rpm.ls:/usr/lib/libjpeg.a libjpeg.rpm.ls:/usr/lib/libjpeg.la libjpeg.rpm.ls:/usr/lib/libjpeg.so libjpeg.rpm.ls:/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 libjpeg.rpm.ls:/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0 shlibs5.rpm.ls:/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libjpeg.so shlibs5.rpm.ls:/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libjpeg.so.6 shlibs5.rpm.ls:/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libjpeg.so.6.0.1 susepak.rpm.ls:/usr/share/doc/susehilf/pak/paket_libjpeg.html In order to be able to do this, it's necessary to create an index of all this information. This index only need to be created once and is stored on disk (about 20M, sorry but disk space is cheap these days). Checksums of files and ISO images are generated and stored as well, useful to check whether your CDs are still ok (or the duplicates worked). The big advantage is that it's not necessary to have access to any of the CDs of the distribution. The program can generated indices of any lot of rpms, however the rpms need to be read during index generation, so indexing a remote ftp server would mean getting a local copy first (how else do you want to do this?). If SuSE provided the index that would be great of course... Volker
