Thanks, Gil. I suggest you look up other members of the list who also
host useful resources (Carrie Bartkowiak, Dom Latter,
http://www.raqresources.com, and others) and let them know your resource
exists. Only by cross-referencing them thoroughly can we be sure that
people will find them when needed.

I can't give you the whole story since I haven't fully figured it out
yet. But "dr. mikey" did and posted a lot of stuff on how to do it with
a small utility known as "portfwd".
Search the archives for:
* portfwd
* port forwarding
and you should be OK... he posted a great message within the last month
on how to do it and where the previous posts were found. Check around
22/Feb; I just saw it in my archives. Full text copied below, but there
were more messages near there so go check.

nat comes standard on the qube (qube2 that is, which is the only one i
have actual experience with, the other qubes i can't say), so to route
packets past the qube to an internal ip you will need to enable some
form of port forwarding. one possibility (and there are others of
course, tmtowtdi after all) is to install a little utility called
portfwd (http://freshmeat.net/projects/portfwd/). this program allows
you to open specific ports on the qube and route them to an internal ip
on your lan. the program can be downloaded from sourceforge
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=771). however,
keep in mind that if you are on a qube2, which is mips-based, you will
need to compile the program from the source as the only compiled version
available is for i386 cpu's (like the qube3).
i've posted my experiences (along with some instructions and comments)
with installing this program on a qube2 to this list a couple of times
in the past, and these articles can be obtained from the list archives.
just follow the link in the list footer below and search for "portfwd".
to get you started, here are the two relevant posts i sent:
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2000-September/020854.html
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2000-December/027066.html
one thing to note, is that i originally used (and posted on) version
0.10, but the current stable version of portfwd is 0.17 (with 0.18rc0
also out now). also note that if you need to compile the binary
yourself, you will also need to install a couple of other linux
utilities that are a part of a tools pkg from cobalt (see for example:
ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/developer/Kernel/mips/All-Kernel_mips_tools-
1.0.pkg),
however, this particular pkg doesn't seem to install very well, so you
may need to extract the rpm's and manually install them. this is
covered a bit more in my previous posts.
once you have portfwd compiled and installed, you will need to create a
config file (see the portfwd readme file and my previous posts for exact
instructions). i believe that the relevant ports you will need to put
in your config file (as listed in
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/tips/urls/txt/port_numbers) are:
5631/tcp pcANYWHEREdata
5631/udp pcANYWHEREdata
5632/tcp pcANYWHEREstat
5632/udp pcANYWHEREstat
once you have the config file, start portfwd and you should be able to
use pcanywhere through the qube.
on a final note, you may want to add a line to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local
file to autostart portfwd on reboot. fwiw, i did write a little init
script for portfwd (along the lines of all the other start/stop scripts
in /etc/rc.d/init.d), which i can send you if you are interested.
hope this helps (and wasn't completely off the topic of your question),
mikey.

Roger, the way I do this is with filesystem links.
In all Unixes (including Linux) one file can have
two or more names. For example, to give your
x.html file a second name (x.text) you could use
a "hard" link which you'd create by typing:
ln x.html x.text
If the two files reside in different filesystems,
you must use a "symbolic" link instead of a
"hard" one, which you'd create thusly:
ln -s /filesystem1/somepath/x.html /filesystem2/anotherpath/x.text

One thing you could check is all the files in the main mysql
directory. When we had problems after installing MySQL on our RaQ3
I had to go in and change ownership of all the files to root root.
There is also a log file that is created/appended everytime MySQL is
used, the information found there can be quite helpfull. I has been
Awhile, but I think it is simply named mysql.log. You can verify this
in your docs.

that is true. very smart of cobalt, id say.
i have noticed that on bind 9.1.0, the -u parm doesnt work anymore.
future compliance, cobalt? :-)
no idea.
anyways guys (and girls) - I guess you'll have to edit
/etc/rc.d/init.d/named
and change every
daemon named
to
daemon named -u named
this *has not* been tested, so unless you make sure you can access te box
later if SOMETHING happens, don try it till someone approves :)

Hi depending on the version of patches you have frontpage makes the owner
of the files
nobody and site number when you FTP files they become
user and site number
This does seem to be a bug in the frontpage extensions
My fix was to go to the web directory chown nobody.sitenumber *
that changed the owner to nobody
Then publish with frontapge
If that still does not work
Remove frontpage and reinstall on that site

The XTR has those huge hard drives. But, does it still have the 250 domain
limit for hosted domains like the other RaQs?

Works fine on my Raq2 with only 32mb of ram (VERY light load, minimal sql
hits), but to run the latest versions, you'll want to compile from source.
Install php 4.0.3 (NOT 4.0.4), and I highly recommend mySQL 3.23.

No joy here either.. there is no vid card in the RaQ.... *if* you can't get
in via ssh or telnet or some other outside means to do something with the
system, only options are complete restore or pull the disk, mount it on
another system and poke around...
Personally.. I'm praying for the guy... I think he got the same thing that
many of us got here.. the telnet login message is exactly the same and I
don't remember ever seeing it before the problem..
Someone told me that the "guys" can put in a fake telnet that then logs
every move you make and tells the "guys" what you're doing.. maybe this
telnet that does not allow login's is part of this and gets porked somehow
defeating the process... or maybe... shoot.. I was up till 5:30AM ... I'm
rambling...

permissions shoudl be 755 owner should be whatever you want the scripts to
run as (not root or nobody or anything) and the group should be whatever
virtual site of the user they are being run as (site1 site2 etc)
ie the default when uploaded via ftp then chmoded +x
that should work...
