Troubleshooting Linux with syslog:
syslog is a utility for tracking and logging all manner of system messages from the merely informational to the extremely critical. Each system message sent to the syslog server has two descriptive labels associated with it that makes the message easier to handle.
The first describes the function (facility) of the application that generated it. For example, applications such as mail and cron generate messages with easily identifiable facilities named mail and cron.
The second describes the degree of severity of the message. There are eight in all and they are listed in Table 5-1:
You can configure syslog's /etc/syslog.conf configuration file to place messages of differing severities and facilities in different files. This procedure will be covered next
The /etc/syslog.conf File
The files to which syslog writes each type of message received is set in the /etc/syslog.conf configuration file. This file consists of two columns. The first lists the facilities and severities of messages to expect and the second lists the files to which they should be logged. By default, RedHat/Fedora's /etc/syslog.conf file is configured to put most of the messages in the file /var/log/messages. Here is a sample:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
In this case, all messages of severity "info" and above are logged, but none from the mail, cron or authentication facilities/subsystems. You can make this logging even more sensitive by replacing the line above with one that captures all messages from debug severity and above in the /var/log/messages file. This example may be more suitable for troubleshooting.
*.debug /var/log/messages
In this example, all debug severity messages; except auth, authpriv, news and mail; are logged to the /var/log/debug file in caching mode. Notice how you can spread the configuration syntax across several lines using the slash (\) symbol at the end of each line.
*.=debug;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
news.none;mail.none -/var/log/debug
Here we see the /var/log/messages file configured in caching mode to receive only info, notice and warning messages except for the auth, authpriv, news and mail facilities.
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
cron,daemon.none;\
mail,news.none -/var/log/messages
You can even have certain types of messages sent to the screen of all logged in users. In this example messages of severity emergency and above triggers this type of notification. The file definition is simply replaced by an asterisk to make this occur.
*.emerg *
Certain applications will additionally log to their own application specific log files and directories independent of the syslog.conf file. Here are some common examples:
/var/log/maillog : Mail
/var/log/httpd/access_log : Apache web server page access logs
Directories:
/var/log
/var/log/samba : Samba messages
/var/log/mrtg : MRTG messages
/var/log/httpd : Apache webserver messages
Note: In some older versions of Linux the /etc/syslog.conf file was very sensitive to spaces and would recognize only tabs. The use of spaces in the file would cause unpredictable results. Check the formatting of your /etc/syslog.conf file to be safe.
Activating Changes to the syslog Configuration File
Changes to /etc/syslog.conf will not take effect until you restart syslog. Issue this command to do so:
[root@bigboy tmp]# service syslog restart
Sir
This is Pankaj Batra from amritsar working on LIC project.
I am facing 2 main problem regarding printing and change of IP address on PCs.
Here we have problem in HCL make model PCs in which when we try to chenge the IP address then after rebooting the old IP if shown on giving command ifconfig and it is also not on network , till we give command "service network restart".After giving this command new IP address comes in effect and all funtional till we reboot the machine.
If we reinstall the OS then the problem is rectified but there are about 3-4 PCs of HCL in 18 locations.
Please give solution.
my email address
batra786@yahoo.co.in
Second Problem is that the as you must be aware that in LIC they are changing thier IP series ,
Here in One branch When the IP address are changed and Queue names are changed the UNIX printing stopped and when we give the old ip and queue name then it works.
Here in server we have red hat 8.0 and in client PCs we have red hat 8.0 and Suse 9.0.
Here the setup is like PCs telnet the server and print file is made on the server and is then sent back to client PC's DMP.
Please give solution for this also.
Regards and thanks.

Hi pankaj,
This problem also coming due to network card. You need to uninstall network drive properly.
Kudzu should detect your network card during booting session.
after unistall network driver off the kudzu service like this
$ Kudzu off
Then restart the service kudzu
& kudzu on
restart the system
The first thing to try is to go into your BIOS and set the "Plug and Play Aware OS" to "NO". This worked for me with my network card, my on-board Firewire port and my soundcard... and not just on one machine as well I might add. If all goes to plan after you have changed the aforementioned setting in your BIOS then you should see Kudzu detect the card and ask you if you want to setup networking now!
Also check the driver for the netowrk card on following file:
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
this file should be there
It will look like this:
# Realtek|RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:80:48:27:b5:e6
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
DHCP_HOSTNAME=oasis
IPADDR=130.130.2.210
NETMASK=255.255.0.0
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
GATEWAY=130.130.2.100
IPV6INIT=no

Configure cdrecord to write a CD on linux:
Linux with custom compile 2.6.xx.xx series kernel. In order to write CDs at command prompt you need programs:
1)mkisofs – Create an ISO file image so that cdrecord can use the same to burn on a CD.
2)cdrecord – It is a utility capable of burning an actual disc i.e. ISO images created with mkisofs.
Since these packages were not installed I quickly run the commands to install it:
# apt-get install mkisofs
# apt-get install cdrecord
Configure cdrecord to write a CD
Under kernel version 2.6 you would not want to use ide-scsi for
CD-writing, the new kernel provides a superior access method that finally supports DMA access when writing CDs. Find out the device name used by your cdwriter i.e. find out the virtual SCSI ID of your device:
# cdrecord dev=ATA: -scanbusOutput:
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a34 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jrg Schilling
scsidev: 'ATA:'
devname: 'ATA'
scsibus: -1 target: -1 lun: -1
Warning: Using badly designed ATAPI via /dev/hd*
interface.
Linux sg driver version: 3.5.27
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.
scsibus1:
1,0,0 100) 'SONY' 'CD-Writer' '1.0g'

1,4,0 104) *

1.7.0 107) *
As you see SONY CD-WRITER at 1,0,0. The comma separated number you need to pass to command line option as -dev=1,0,0. You can write an ISO image to CD with the following command:
# cdrecord -v -dev=ATA:1,0,0 speed=4 mydata.iso
Where,
• -speed=XX : Specify writing speed.
• -v : Verbose output.
• -dev : The virtual SCSI ID of your device
Here is an example, to create backup of /home/hosting-app/ directory:
a) Create an ISO file that can be opened on both windows and Linux computer:
$ mkisofs -v -o /tmp/happ.iso -R /home/hosting-app
b) Write an ISO (happ.iso) to CD i.e. burn an image:
$ cdrecord -v -dev=ATA:1,0,0 speed=4 /tmp/happ.iso
How to create your own Linux live CD easy way (very uses full For troubleshooting )
A LiveCD is an operating system along with useful apps stored on a bootable CD-ROM / DVD disk. You can run complete operating system without installation on a hard disk. I often use Knoppix Live CD for troubleshooting, fixing computers and testing new hardware.
The first step is to get the livecd-tools RPM that is available from Zeuthen's Fedora home page. Just grab and install the livecd-tools-001-1.i386.rpm like so:
Installing the Live CD tools
su
Enter root password
wget -c people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/i386/livecd-tools-001-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh livecd-tools-001-1.i386.rpm
You should now have the livecd-creator command, which you can invoke without any options to get a simple list of commands.
. Options provided by the livecd-creator command
livecd-creator
Creating a local repository of core packages
You also need to have access to RPMs of the tools that you want on your custom Live CD. If you are on a fast Internet connection, livecd-creator can download them and the packages they depend upon before creating the Live CD. The other option is to copy all the packages from Fedora Core 6 installation CDs or DVD and create a local "core" repository. To create a local repository, you'll need the createrepo tool.
Installing the createrepo tool
wget -//tqmcube.com/files/createrepo-0.4.3-5.1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh createrepo-0.4.3-5.1.noarch.rpm
Now, create the local repository by first copying all the RPMS from Core 6's five CDs or single DVD and then using the createrepo tool.
Listing 4. Creating a local repository
mkdir /var/www/html/repo/core/
/var/www/html/repo/core/
createrepo /var/www/html/repo/core/
This last command will take some time to complete and will create a repodata directory. The livecd-creator command uses this directory to get to the packages.
Creating a local repository of configuration packages
Since you'll be using Zeuthen's packages to base your Live CD on, you'll need to create a local repository for them as well.
. Creating a repository of the LiveCD packages
mkdir base_packages
cd base_packages
wget -people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/i386/fedora-livecd-6-1.i386.rpm
wget -c people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/i386/fedora-livecd-gnome-6-1.i386.rpm
wget -c people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/i386/fedora-livecd-desktop-6-1.i386.rpm
createrepo /root/base_packages
As before, this last command will produce the repodata directory to help livecd-creator locate the configuration packages
Sir
I am facing problem in Red Hat 8.0 server (HCL XEON and IBM Xeon server) in this the service LPD is FAILED at the startup and there is error ' Fatal error lpd bind port '515' [FAILED]on booting.
Then Manually this service have to be restart.
I have checked the service by checking at chkconfig also and it is on level 345. but whenever the server is rebooted the service failed and then again manually we have to start.
This problem is in 03 servers and often found in PCs also.
Kindly guide.
Regards.

batra786@yahoo.co.in
Hi Pankaj,
backup your /etc/service
Edit your /etc/service and change the 515 to 516 (usually 516 is idle)
restart xinetd then restart lpd
Thanks & Regards

We have another Lipi 6306 printer in which problem is like when ever we give print from IBM server (red hat 8.0) then it prints mixed alphabets and when we take printing on any DMP(TVSE MSP 355 or MSP 255) then printing is ok from same server using same LP cable.
on the other hand if we take printing from other PC on the same line printer then printing is ok.
Please guide.

Here are the all steps to change password for root in linux:
1)when u reached at the grub screen press 'e' on linux
2)line which contains the word 'kernell' press 'e'
3)go to end of that line and write 'linux single'
4)the press 'esc' twice and press 'b' to reboot the system
5) now wait for the prompt u get, write easy command there:
passwd root
OR
METHOD 2
Please try out the following steps to change the root password:
1. Boot the computer with Linux Installation CD.
2. Enter into Linux Rescue mode by enering the following command in boot screen.
boot: linux rescue
3. When the sh prompt is reached, enter the following commands to change root password.

TAPE DRIVE INSTALLTIONS & CONFIGURATION ON LINUX
All tapedrives are attached over a SCSI-controller. To access a tape, choose the right devicenode:
• /dev/st0 Linux 2.2 / D-PHYS1, first tapedrive, rewinds when closed
• /dev/nst0 Linux 2.2 / D-PHYS1, first tapedrive, leaves tape when closed
Currently all machines equiped with a tapedrive are running Linux 2.2. Come back to this tutorial after our upgrade of those workstations!
To save and restore data on tape, we use tar, mt and cpio. dump is not discussed here - it should not be used in Linux >= 2.4 against a mounted filesystem
check if the tape is online
me@host:~$ mt -f /dev/st0 status
drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape
drive status = 318767104
sense key error = 0
residue count = 0
file number = 0
block number = 0
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x13 (DDS (61000 bpi)).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (45010000):
BOT WR_PROT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
A cartdrige is inserted and ready to write. Because we used /dev/st0, the tape is now positioned at the beginning.
save the content of a directory
We have a directory sample in our home containing several files. Lets put them on the tape:
me@host:~$ tar cvf /dev/st0 sample
sample/
sample/picture.jpeg
sample/text.txt
sample/source.c
list the files on the tape
me@host:~$ tar tvf /dev/st0
drwxr-xr-x me/mygroup 0 2003-10-31 12:54:22 sample/
-rw------- me/mygroup 54864 2003-10-31 12:53:56 sample/picture.jpeg
-rw-r--r-- me/mygroup 1297 2003-10-31 12:54:03 sample/text.txt
-rw-r--r-- me/mygroup 58 2003-10-31 12:54:22 sample/source.c
eject the cartdrige
me@host:~$ mt -f /dev/st0 rewoffl
The cartdrige will be rewinded and ejected by the tapedrive. It's now time to lable your cartdrige. It's really difficult to extract the information about a tape without knownlege how it was written! May be that it's also the time to write protect the cartdrige.
restore the files
Reinsert the cartdrige in the tapedrive.
me@host:~$ tar xvf /dev/st0
sample/
sample/picture.jpeg
sample/text.txt
sample/source.c
We have now restored the content of the archive on tape.
restore a single file
me@host:~$ tar xvf /dev/st0 sample/source.c
sample/source.c
Only the file source.c was restored. Be careful - you need to give the exact filname(s) to tar and it takes often a long time to scan the tape until tar find the right file.
________________________________________
Now some more sophisticated exemples. A cartdrige may contain more then one file. So you may put more then one backup on the same cartdrige. Now we use no longer /dev/st0 which rewinds the tape after usage, instead we use /dev/nst0 which leaves the tape on the position when closed.
save a directory
me@host:~$ tar cvf /dev/nst0 sample
sample/
sample/picture.jpeg
sample/text.txt
sample/source.c
This is now our first file on the tape. Because we used /dev/nst0, tape is now positioned at the end of this file.
save another directory
me@host:~$ tar cvf /dev/nst0 moresample
moresample/
moresample/source.c
moresample/binary
This is now our second file on the tape.
eject the cartdrige
Linux Boot Process (Troubleshooting point of view)
Boot sequence summary
BIOS
Master Boot Record (MBR)
LILO or GRUB
Kernel
init
Run Levels
BIOS
Load boot sector from one of:
Floppy
CDROM
Hard drive
The boot order can be changed from within the BIOS. BIOS setup can be entered by pressing a key during bootup. The exact key depends varies, but is often one of Del, F1, F2, or F10.
(DOS) Master Boot Record (MBR)
DOS in the context includes MS-DOS, Win95, and Win98.
BIOS loads and execute the first 512 bytes off the disk (/dev/hda)
Standard DOS MBR will:
look for a primary partition (/dev/hda1-4) marked bootable
load and execute first 512 bytes of this partition
can be restored with fdisk /mbr from DOS
LILO
does not understand filesystems
code and kernel image to be loaded is stored as raw disk offsets
uses the BIOS routines to load
Loading sequence
load menu code, typically /boot/boot.b
prompt for (or timeout to default) partition or kernel
for "image=" (ie Linux) option load kernel image
for "other=" (ie DOS) option load first 512 bytes of the partition
Reconfiguring LILO
One minute guide to installing a new kernel
copy kernel image (bzImage) and modules to /boot and /lib/modules
edit /etc/lilo.conf
duplicate image= section, eg:
image=/bzImage-2.4.14
label=14
read-only
man lilo.conf for details
run /sbin/lilo
reboot to test
GRUB
Understands file systems
config lives in /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/boot/menu.lst
Kernel
initialise devices
(optionally loads initrd, see below)
mounts root filesystem
specified by lilo or loadin with root= parameter
kernel prints: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
runs /sbin/init which is process number 1 (PID=1)
init prints: INIT: version 2.76 booting
can be changed with boot= parameter to lilo, eg boot=/bin/sh can be useful to rescue a system which is having trouble booting.
initrd
Allows setup to be performed before root FS is mounted
lilo or loadlin loads ram disk image
kernel runs /linuxrc
load modules
initialise devices
/linuxrc exits
"real" root is mounted
kernel runs /sbin/init
Details in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/initrd.txt (part of the kernel source).
/sbin/init
reads /etc/inittab (see man inittab which specifies the scripts below
Run boot scripts:
debian: run /etc/init.d/rcS which runs:
/etc/rcS.d/S* scripts
/etc/rc.boot/* (depreciated)
redhat: /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script which: loads modules, check root FS and mount RW, mount local FS, setup network, and mount remote FS
switches to default runlevel eg 3.
run scripts /etc/rc3.d/S*
run programs specified in /etc/inittab
Run Levels
0 halt
1 single user
2-4 user defined
5 X11 only (0 or 1 text console)
6 Reboot
Default is defined in /etc/inittab, eg:
id:3:initdefault:
The current runlevel can be changed by running /sbin/telinit # where # is the new runlevel, eg typing telinit 6 will reboot.
Run Level programs
Scripts in /etc/rc*.d/* are symlinks to /etc/init.d
Scripts prefixed with S will be started when the runlevel is entered, eg /etc/rc5.d/S99xdm
Scripts prefixed with K will be killed when the runlevel is entered, eg /etc/rc6.d/K20apache
X11 login screen is typically started by one of S99xdm, S99kdm, or S99gdm.
Run programs for specified run level
/etc/inittab lines:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 9600 tty1
Always running in runlevels 2, 3, 4, or 5
Displays login on console (tty1)
2:234:respawn:/sbin/getty 9600 tty2
Always running in runlevels 2, 3, or 4
Displays login on console (tty2)

Installing Windows XP on your new Windows Vista computer - sometimes for compatibility reasons, but also because a lot of people just don't like Vista very much.
The problem that people keep running into left and right is getting to the point where XP starts to install and getting the message "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer".
This error happens because your new computer has a storage controller that isn't supported natively in XP, usually an SATA (Serial ATA) controller.
If you don't have a floppy drive in your computer (who does anymore), then you'll need to use a process called slip-streaming to integrate the storage drivers into your XP installation CD.
Just go through these links

How to configure Gmail in Microsoft outlook?
You can send and receive e-mail messages by using your Google Gmail e-mail account and Outlook. Gmail requires a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) (Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): A proposed open standard that was developed by Netscape Communications for establishing a secure communications channel to prevent the interception of critical information, such as credit card numbers.) encrypted connection when you retrieve and send e-mail. Gmail uses POP3 (POP3: A common protocol that is used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.) port number 995 and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP): A common protocol that is used to send e-mail messages across the Internet.) port number 465. These settings are not the default for a POP3 account in Outlook and require you to modify account settings in Outlook.
The outgoing e-mail server (e-mail server: A computer that stores e-mail messages.) is similar to those used by many Internet service providers (ISPs) (ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet for such things as electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited to a specific region.). However, Gmail requires authentication on their SMTP e-mail server. This requirement means that you must provide a user name and password — the same as your Gmail screen name and password — before you send your e-mail message. You can save the user name and password in Outlook so that you enter the information just one time.
The following steps configure Outlook for all necessary settings required to send and receive e-mail by using your Gmail e-mail account and Outlook.
Note When you change your Gmail password, you need to update the Gmail account information in Outlook.
Do one of the following:
Add your Gmail e-mail account
To use your Gmail e-mail account in Outlook, you must first make sure POP3 support is enabled in Gmail, and then you can add it to Outlook.
1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. At the top of any Gmail page, click Settings.
3. In the Mail Settings window, click Forwarding and POP.
I don't see Forwarding and POP
Gmail is turning on POP3 support for users in phases. If Forwarding and POP does not appear, your Gmail account cannot be configured for POP3 support.
4. In the POP Download section, select Enable POP or all mail or Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on.
5. Click Save Settings.
6. In Outlook, on the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
7. Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
8. Click POP3, and then click Next.

Note You have the option to have Outlook remember your password by typing it in the Password box and selecting the Remember password check box. Having Outlook remember your password means that you won't have to type your password each time you access the account; however, it also means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer. Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.

Dear All,
USB Info: Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How long of a cable can I use to connect my device?
A1: In practice, the USB specification limits the length of a cable between full speed devices to 5 meters (a little under 16 feet 5 inches). For a low speed device the limit is 3 meters (9 feet 10 inches).
Q2: Why can't I use a cable longer than 3 or 5m?
A2: USB's electrical design doesn't allow it. When USB was designed, a decision was made to handle the propagation of electromagnetic fields on USB data lines in a way that limited the maximum length of a USB cable to something in the range of 4m. This method has a number of advantages and, since USB is intended for a desktop environment, the range limitations were deemed acceptable. If you're familiar with transmission line theory and want more detail on this topic, take a look at the USB signals section of the developers FAQ.
Q3: How far away from a PC can I put a USB device?
A3: With the maximum of 5 hubs connected with 5m cables and a 5m cable going to your full speed device, this will give you 30m of cable (see section 7.1.19 for details). With a low speed device, you will be able to get a range up to 27m, depending on how long the device's cable is. With a straightforward cable route, you will probably be able to reach out 25m or so from the PC.
Q4: I need to put a USB device X distance from my PC. What do I do?
A4: If X is less than 25m or so (see previous question), buy a bunch of hubs and connect them serially with 5m cables. If you need to go farther than that, put another PC, or maybe a laptop, out where you need the device to be and network it with the first PC using something that's intended to be a long-range connection, such as Ethernet or RS-485. If you need to use nothing but USB, consider using USB based Ethernet adapters to hook the PCs together.
Q5: How can I connect two PCs to each other with USB?
A5: You need a specialized USB peripheral known as a USB bridge (sometimes called a USB to USB adapter) to do this. Without a USB bridge, connecting a USB port of a PC directly to another PC's USB port can damage the computers.
Q6: You mean I can't make a direct cable connection like a null modem?
A6: Correct. In fact, if you try this with an illegal A to A USB cable, you'll short the two PCs' power supplies together, possibly destroying one or both machines or causing a fire hazard. Even there were no danger to the machines from the problem with two power supplies, there still wouldn't be any way to get the two PCs talking to each other, since USB doesn't support that particular kind of communication. A reasonably priced solution to handle this need is the USB bridge.
Q7: So why do people make A to A cables, anyway? What kinds of cables do I need to connect USB devices together?
A7: A number of cable vendors seem to have reached the conclusion that USB is like a PC's serial port, only faster, so you need all sorts of special hardware to create the USB connection you need to make. This is completely incorrect. The only kind of cables you'll ever need to connect normal USB products are A to B cables, A to mini B cables or mini A to mini B cables of various lengths. Some special kinds of devices use nonstandard connectors and so come with their own special cable.
Q8: What if I want to network a whole bunch of PCs together with USB?
A8: If you need to connect just a few machines, USB bridges and a hub or two will work. USB was not designed to be a LAN, however, and there are certain safety hazards associated with trying to use USB with large numbers of PCs. There's also a large performance penalty compared to a real LAN. If you need a LAN, use a technology intended to be used as a LAN, such as Ethernet.
Q9: Is there any way for two PCs to share a USB printer or some other peripheral?
A9: At the moment, the simplest and best solution is just to plug the printer into whatever PC needs to use it. You can make this somewhat easier by plugging any peripherals you want to share into a hub, and running cables from the PCs to the hub, so all you have to do is change which PC the hub is plugged into.
Q10: Is there any way I can put a USB device on a network, like a network printer?
A10: To do this, you'd need something like a USB to Ethernet bridge that was capable of acting as a USB host.
Q1- How long of a cable can I use to connect my device?
A1- In practice, the USB specification limits the length of a cable between full speed devices to 5 meters (a little under 16 feet 5 inches). For a low speed device the limit is 3 meters (9 feet 10 inches).
