telnet.

of starting nmbd "no network interfaces found" "no network interfaces found"
'-n MRP509' set NetBios name.
################ Nov 22 2001
the jta20.jar file seems having a little problem. remote host is automatically
trying to connect to port 23 which is used by telnet.But SSH is enabled and i
have disabled telnet. To solve it,what i am trying to do is to make port 23
available for SSH as well.
###i have changed /etc/services file , add lines
ssh2 23/tcp # my second ssh port tcp
ssh2 23/udp # my second ssh port udp
and comment out telnet port lines in it which disables telnet port entirely.
next i add another line "Port 23" into /etc/ssh/sshd_config. more info refers to
man sshd.
### actually that is not the way to do it.. just edit
/etc/ssh/sshd_config , change port # in there.
also got an email response from the author of 'java telnet application", he
pointed me out by adding two lines :
in the html file.
and very likely cause is the configuration file never get read by the java applet
because of a wrong path setting. above is one way to solve it.
now is another : I must have set the path wrong in the html file.
so later on (today Dec 17 01) add a ./ before the conf file path..da..da..da
problem solved. now looks like this
############### Nov 29 2001
add mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb into /etc/rc.d/rc.local to
mount USB filesystem for USB mouse..
to mount the filesystem better add this line into /etc/fstab
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
issue `cat /proc/bus/usb/devices` to extract USB device information.
############### Dec 11 2001
add "/usr/local/lib" into /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig then.
it's to make this path available for the share lib searching..
############### Dec 16 2001
recompile kernel with extra modules(scsi-emulation,scsi-cdrom,scsi generic
support) build into to support my CDR.. there is no native driver has been
written for ATAPI device..this provide SCSI host adater emulation for IDE ATAPI
devices....
better Fonts selection for browsers. in Galeon choose default font to be "san
serif" serif => "Times" Sans Serif => "Helvetica" Cursive => "Arial" Fantasy =>
"Arial" Monospace => "Courier"" and set to use these fonts. Mozilla is pretty
much the same. just remember set to not to use other fonts when you
done. and apply the background color to be bit gray also does better. now
visiting webpaeg has the same eye effect as M$..
############### Dec 17 2001
installed xsnow (snow dropping scene) pretty Cool! address from

############### Dec 18 2001

Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server
Error: Can't open display :0.0
############## Dec 22 2001
From http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/faqs/RH-apache-FAQ/topics/cgi.html
If mod_perl is installed make sure the following is not commented out:
Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
Options +ExecCGI
The server will then recognize that all files in that location (and its logical
descendants) that end in ".cgi" or ".pl" are script files, not documents.
############## Dec 24 2001
damn i did `chmod 750 /var/log/httpd` and did not test it .that turned out to
be a bad thing --- server could not be loaded afterwards. needs to set x-bit for
other user... still in question...
############## Dec 31 2001
If u ever read this..i was compiling kernel again..try to compile IP Masquerading
into.. have compiled couple times but failed. last time after finishing "depmod
-a" , i copy linux/System.map into /boot. Although i got bounch "depmod: *** Unresolved
symbols" error while doing depmod.. poof, now it works..
depmod.
############## Jan 11 2002
Has new computer pentium 166 setup acting just a gateway to share internet.IP masquerading
and DHCP server running. /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall /etc/dhcpd.conf created
#route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth0
#/usr/sbin/dhcpd eth0
these two lines have been added into /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd
############## Feb 03 2002
Creat vnc file in /etc/xinetd.d/ add vnc service in /etc/services
############## Feb 07 2002
Enable mod_perl on apache. well, it default is installed, just need to uncomment lines between
...
and remember to creat the directory in which will test mod_perl file.
Note: this mod_perl module is used as DSO(dynamic shared objects) and loaded via the LoadModule.
turn off bounch of modules loaded within httpd.conf,such as python and php.
############## Mar 05 2002
Install mod_gzip,which is a module compress webpage etc. speed up web transfer rate.
remember for mod_perl, have to add a line # print "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n\r\n" in your
script or it won't output the generated HTML by cgi. A better solution is to set
"PerlSendHeader On",this emulate the mod_cgi. save time adding header in ur cgi.
btw, "mod_gzip_keep_workfiles" is for mod_gzip debugging use, set it to yes,then look
up the *.wrk file in your mod_gzip_temp_dir for debug info.
also note, sometime after making change with cgi script,ofter get "subroutine **** redefined" error
in error_log file. It probably is that the cached scripts are not reload properly. restart apache
server solve it.
