Port 5005
by Paul 20 Mar '02

20 Mar '02

Hi Folks I've been trying to get a distributed application working over a network. Most of the inter-process communications are handled by a low level server using the TCP/IP stack. For remote processes, communications use port 5005. Not being particularly clued up on low level networking, how do I enable this port ? Just throw an extra problem in, is there likely to be any problems communicating with a Windows box on this port ? Regards, Paul.

Directions and a Map would be very helpfull. I'm planning on being there, but I may be a little late as I think I have to shoot, (archery), a league match on that Sunday, but I should be able to manage to get there about 14.30 > 14.45. -- John Seago Change is not a synonym for `progress'.

Hi Richard Perhaps "enabling the port" was the wrong phrase. I haver the server app running on one machine and it accepts local connections without any problems. When the remote client attempts to connect, the connection is refused on port 5005. There is no firewall, and system security is as lax as I know how to make it. It could be a bug in the server/client software, I'm just working through the various possibilties at the moment. Regards, Paul.

Why won't RH 7.2 mount my CD?
by Andrew Wallis 17 Mar '02

17 Mar '02

Hi! I'm another newbie (to ALUG not Linux) and here I go starting with a plea for help! I've just updated one of my machines which previously ran RH 5.X then 6.0 to RH 7.3. Well, actually, I didn't update - as always I cleaned the disk right down, low-level formatted, re-partitioned and did a completely new installation. Most things run fine BUT I can't seem to mount a CD. I know there's nothing wrong with the drive because I did the installation from it! Here's the dirt: ####################################### [andrew.wallis]# cat /etc/fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/usr/local /usr/local ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/usr/src /usr/src ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user,kudzu 0 0 [root@vulpes]# mount /mnt/cdrom mount: /dev/cdrom: unknown device [root@vulpes]# ls -l /dev/cdrom /dev/scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 5 19:15 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0 [root@vulpes]# ls -l /dev/cdrom /dev/scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 5 19:15 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0 brw------- 1 andrew.w disk 11, 0 Aug 30 2001 /dev/scd0 [root@vulpes]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: DGVS09U Rev: 03B0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00 Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-ROM PX-32TS Rev: 1.02 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00 Vendor: SONY Model: SDT-9000 Rev: 0123 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 ####################################### So you can see that the system seems to know the device is there but the /dev/scd0 device (11, 0) doesn't seem to be able to access it. I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm flummoxed. Any suggestions, please? Regards Andrew Wallis St Cross South Elmham HARLESTON

My Turn For An Intro
by Matt Parker 16 Mar '02

16 Mar '02

Hi, Well, finally got round to subscribing. Been using Linux since RedHat 6.2, but my distro of choice at the moment is Mandrake. My name is Matt Parker (though on Usenet I'm known as Cowboy Bob - don't ask unless you're into a certain US post-punk band with an infamous name - if you are then you already know!!). I work as a Senior Java Developer at a company that makes software for the advertising industry in Diss, Norfolk - though I live in Norwich. I did my stint at the UEA doing my Comp Sci masters thesis with active shape models as part of the, now famous, VisiCast project. At work I develop on Solaris, so together with that and my couple of years Linux experience I hope I can help some of the newbies out and maybe learn a thing or two for the "old" masters. Matt
