Diskless Nodes
by Nikhil Joshi 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

Hello linuxers, I tried to configure Diskless Nodes in our college. I'm first trying with one server and one client. Now the client is able to identify itself and the server i.e. it knows the IP address of the server. However I am not able to ping the client from the server. Also the client starts loading the kernel. However the Kernel does not load fully and the booting does not continue. I have no clue what may be the problem. I went through LTSP documentation but I could not figure out from that too. Please guide. P.S. I saw that there are two LED's on the Network Card and one glows continuosly and other blinks according to the traffic. I guess the constantly ON LED is clock signal/Carrier or something. Now when I directly connect the cable from Server to the node there is no LED glowing. However when I connect them through Hub the LED glows. Do I need to use a hub just to connect one Server and one node? This is from a person who has no knowledge whatsoever of Networking. Please bear with me. -- Nikhil nikhiljoshi.cjb.net

Workshop at SAKEC - call for speakers!
by Ashok Iyer 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

Hello people, As posted earlier, the GLUG has agreed to conduct a workshop at Shah and Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College (SAKEC) - Chembur. Thanks a ton folks! Date: 19th. and 20th. of April (third Sat. and Sun.) The audience for the workshop will comprise of students from 3 engineering streams: a) Electronics b) Information Technology c) Computers We can expect approx. 100 to150 odd students for the workshop, maybe more. Adequate facilities in terms of infrastructure are in place(lecture hall, LCD projectors, Labs etc.). Audience background: ----------------- The audience have no clue of what GNU is all about. Some have just heard about "Linux". Zero exposure & practical experience. So we would have to start from scratch but can get technical quickly. SPEAKERS NEEDED!! ------------------ Speakers are needed for the workshop. Harsh has confirmed himself and Trevor's presence for the same. As Harsh suggested, it would be nice to have people who wanna speak for the first time. Please come forward. It would be a privilege to have Dr. Nagarjuna around. Maybe Harsh and Trevor can take over this and decide the topics and speakers. You can contact me at 28169393(residence) after 8:30 pm or at 26875452 (office). Regards, Ashok Iyer

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Help!) basic installation help

Hi Sheetal On Wednesday 02 April 2003 22:15, Sheetal Chopra used the keyboard to ent= er=20 the following: > I also tried RedHat 8.00., but the dual boot didn't work, then XP > overwote my redhat installation. This overwriting of MBR usually happens when you install windows "after" you install Linux. Windows doesnt recognize Linux and writes into the mbr. Try installing Linux after you install windows. Linux detects that there is windows and makes a relevant entry into its loader so that you get the option of booting into windows. -- Regards Abhijeet D Mhatre Email: abhijeetmhatre(a)gmx.net --------If wishes were horses Migs would fly.-----------

Need Help
by Prashant Parab 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

Hi Group, We are using rsh command for file transfer between our two servers. We are using ssh protocol for rsh by using 'rsh -e ssh '. As we are not using certficates for ssh, the ssh daemon ask the password from the user before establishing the connection with the remote server. rsh don't have any facility to embed password in the command itself. The problem starts from here. As we want to automate the whole process we are planning to run the rsh command in the cron jobs. Now in the cron job we cannot enter the password. I think in the shell script i cannot supply the password in the situation like this. Will anybody kindly suggest me a way to overcome this problem, like using any other scripting language or something else. Thanx and regards, Prashant Parab
