VGA consolefont wanted (acm|sfm get reset)

2000-07-08 Thread Alexander N. Benner
Holla

I want to have a VGA text console. The closest I get is this setting:

SCREEN_FONT=default8x9
SCREEN_FONT_MAP=cp437
APP_CHARSET_MAP=cp437

however one of them, sfm or acm, at least get reset sometimes. 
I am not exactly shure when. however - I always end up with this silly iso01
encodeing.

Can someone help me to get true VGA, buildin font encodeing?

P.S.: is there a true unicode console? [utf8 would be fine as well]

why does gdomap scan the net?

1999-11-06 Thread Alexander N. Benner
Hi

The GNUstep prg. gdomap (from gstep-base) scans every 5 min the local net.

I found a reference in the GNUstep-HOWTO that it has something to do with
shared objects which seems to be semi important.

What I don't understand is what the scan is for and how to restrict it.
The HOWTO tells something about a configfile '/etc/gdomap_addresses' which
does not exist.

I'd rather prefere not to get 254 udp packages plus 253 'hostunreachable' icmp
packages every 5 min (plus the syslog telling me about them)

spelling of potato

Hi

I think there is a problem with 2.2

If GH  can stand for P  as in  Hiccough
If OUGH stands forO  as in  Dough
If PHTH stands forT  as in  Phthisis
If EIGH stands forA  as in  Neighbour
If TTE  stands forT  as in  Gazette
If EAU  stands forO  as in  Plateau
Then the right way to spell POTATO should be: GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU

I couldn't log in anymore today after an upgrade to the current potato

After triing for a while I found out that login tried to use pam_pwdb which

There seems to be no depends on it, it is also in section optional.

when I try to su (to root or a reg. user, even myself) I get the error:

It works as root, however, dictd does not start on boottime due to this

 Good.  Now I can convert between hex, octal and decimal.

you can always do a # mod base ; # - # div base
Which will give you digit fer digit starting with the lowest one.

solved: sudo doesn't ask for passwd

1999-01-27 Thread Alexander N. Benner

Hi
Sometime ago I filed a bugreport and l8r I also posted here a msg. That sudo
shows some strange behaviour.
I was NEVER asked for a passwd, but thrown right into a rootshell.

My /etc/sudoers just looks like this:

# User privilege specification
rootALL=(ALL) ALL
%sudo   ALL=(ALL) ALL

(pretty normal, eh?)

I just couldn't give up on this, so I had a look in the sourcepackage where I
saw that (in check.c):

int user_is_exempt()
{
#ifdef EXEMPTGROUP
struct group *grp;
char **gr_mem;

if ((grp = getgrnam(EXEMPTGROUP)) == NULL)
return(FALSE);

aha ... so no passwd is asked for a group called EXEMPTGROUP.
I then did a grep and found this:

17:50:50/tmp/sudo-1.5.4 %grep EXEMPTGROUP *.{c,h}
check.c:#ifdef EXEMPTGROUP
check.c:if ((grp = getgrnam(EXEMPTGROUP)) == NULL)
options.h:#define EXEMPTGROUP sudo/* no passwd needed for users in this
group */


ARGL ... it was just the groupname. (however sudo is installed by the sudo
package

 Doesn't this ignore the fact that having two heads working back and

 even at the lower levels, because they get all the heads working at the same
 time and it lowers access time.  I'd think the same would apply to swap.

for this you'd need raid support for swap. I am not sure if swap could be on a
raid ... however, I am pretty sure that swap has no build in raid support.

 Hello,
 
 how does Debian compare to the Caldera and RedHat distributions?
 Any comment from ppl that use/used COL and RH are most welcome:
 pros, cons, irritations, wishes.

I just used RH no COL but here my experiences:

Redhat was a bit easyer to install @1st, well maybe realy easyer, but now it's
harder to maintain. (I am the Admin of 2 RH boxes on campus)

- Redhat has only one big RPMS dir were everyone is (on there ftp-server) so
  you always have to read al several page long ls output
- the only other dir is then contrib/... were you have to go back several
  levels and search there again a list in equal length

- redhat has no admintool like dselect, not to mention apt which is already
  now pretty cool. You have a funky looking control-panel, which helps a lot
  in configurating the printer (that is a big point for RH) but what you cannot
  do is  saying please update my system

- Debian is in open devellopment, you can always look in the next (two)
  distributions and check for packages were you realy want to have the l8est
  stuff. So in debian you often get realy up2date packges which is sometimes
  realy handy (on campus vim and mutt is most of the time a selfcompiled
  version)

no pam in login??

hi 

Someone here told me that debian wouldn't be 100% pam?
2b exactly it was login he were refering to.

Is that possible that login doesn't care about pam?

login: is md5_crypt anabled?

1999-01-16 Thread Alexander N. Benner
Hi

Going through my /etc/login.defs I found this passage:

#
# Only works if compiled with MD5_CRYPT defined:
# If set to yes, new passwords will be encrypted using the MD5-based
# algorithm compatible with the one used by recent releases of FreeBSD.
# It supports passwords of unlimited length and longer salt strings.
# Set to no if you need to copy encrypted passwords to other systems
# which don't understand the new algorithm.  Default is no.
#
#MD5_CRYPT_ENAB no

So I wondered if MD5_CRYPT is defined.

How to check comp. options in general?

apt-get from multiple sites

1999-01-08 Thread Alexander N. Benner
I just realized that apt-get simultaniusly receives files from different
hosts.
Is this just possible for different components or can you add different uri
and apt-get splits the download.

ok .. maybe I'll give an example:


deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US
deb http://www.uk.debian.org/debian slink main contrib non-free

will receive simultaniusly files from non-US.debian.org and www.uk.debian.org
now does

deb http://www.uk.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb http://www.de.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free

split the download between these 3 sites too?

 I then used locate .xsession and found three files in /home/kent

 .xsession~

 .xsession
that is the right one
 .xsession-errors
that's the errors which occure starting X
 
 I placed exec fvwm2 in both the .xsession and .xsession~ files and
.xsession is enough

 used chmod again.  I did all steps as a regular user while in the /home
 directory.
$HOME, that is /home/kent, not /home
btw. one chmod +x should be enough, you can check with ls -l .xsession if it
still has the x-bit set
 
 I rebooted and nothing changed in X.  The directions at the Debian site
 said the files should be in the home directory so I moved the three
 files to /home.  Rebooted and no change.
 What am I doing wrong?

rebooting, this is Linux not Windblows :-)

have you checked /etc/X11/(Xsession.)options ? there has to be an
'allow-user-xsession' in it otherwise your .xsession is ignored.

you should also start your .xsession with the following line
#!/bin/sh
right at the beginning, marking it as a shell-skript.

Re: ISDN: using Home Highway

Ship's Log, Lt. Andrew Wilson, Stardate 271298.0247:
 
 The board I'm using is one marketed by British Telecom, they call it BT
 Speedway ISDN PCI Card it appears to be have been produced by a German
 company and the included software for windows was written by AVM-GmbH.
 The Board uses the Siemans 2168 chip and may be supported by
 the Hisax driver.

Ok, I have a AVM Fritzkard, donnow if that's what you have.

First compile your Kernel with ISDN:

M ISDN support 
[*] Support synchronous PPP  
[*] Use VJ-compression with synchronous PPP  
[ ] Support generic MP (RFC 1717)
[*] Support audio via ISDN   
M ICN 2B and 4B support
M isdnloop support 
M PCBIT-D support  
M HiSax SiemensChipSet driver support  
[*] HiSax Support for EURO/DSS1  
[*] Support for german tarifinfo 
[*] HiSax Support for german 1TR6
[*] HiSax Support for AVM A1 (Fritz) 
? AVM-B1 with CAPI2.0 support  
 
The first depend also on whatever your ISP suports. (I think :)

 
 I have been able to get the board working with Windows 95, It gave the
 following information
 
   I/O address 6100
   IRQ 11
   ProtocolDSS1
 
 Can anyone offer any ideas as to how I can get this board to work with
 Linux?

The next is to write a file in /etc/modutils with this line in it:

options hisax type=5 protocol=2 io=0x6100 irq=11

See also /usr/src/linux/Documentation/isdn/README.HiSax

Then change /etc/isdn/* to fit your needs. (It'll be handy to have some
informations from your ISP about protocolls and stuff)



Hope that'll work :)

Ship's Log, Lt. D'jinnie, Stardate 051298.1329:
 
 Ok, I suspect this comment is going to brand me as permanently clueless,
 but...debian has some thing where you can authorize your users to su
 without supplying a password.

that's for example secure-su which I used to have installed

+++-===-==-
rc  secure-su   980403-0.3 su with more security options

however /etc/suauth looks still ok:

# /etc/suauth - secure-su control file.  See suauth(5) for full documentation.

# Uncommenting this line will only allow members of group root to su to root.
root:ALL EXCEPT GROUP sudo:DENY
root:GROUP sudo:OWNPASS

it schould still ask me for my own passwd 

 Since sudo -s seems to be rather analogous
 to that, i.e. it runs a root shell for you, could this configuration
 somehow work for both su and sudo? What happens when you try to su?

As I skipet back to normal su (suspeckting secure-su) it now asks me for the
root passwd as su is ment to be :)

But anyway, I cannot find anything weired going on

Re: sudo doesn't ask for passwd

1998-12-04 Thread Alexander N. Benner
hi

Ship's Log, Lt. Joey Hess, Stardate 031298.0612:
 
 This is quite normal, if you have used sudo a few minutes before and it
 asked for a password.

The prob. is that it always does so and not only after using it. :(
I cannot figure out how this can be ...
I'll tried to check /etc/pamd. but it looks fine ...
Donnow what else I could check.

sudo doesn't ask for passwd

1998-12-03 Thread Alexander N. Benner
hi

I filed a bugreport on this a while ago, but I seem to be the only one with
this problem :(

well ... I updated now to potato hoping it'll go away, but I had no luck.

ok what does actually happen in detail:

sudo -s throws me right into rootshell without prompting for a passwd.

I am in the sudo groop and /etc/sudoers is the standart deb-file.

Re: Ifconfig

1998-11-24 Thread Alexander N. Benner
hi

Ship's Log, Lt. Amanda Shuler, Stardate 231198.1331:
 I have a question about ifconfig.
 I have a machine that I am trying to configure to put onto a local
 network.
 I'm an assigning it IP address 192.168.76.76
 I type:
   ifconfig eth0 192.168.76.76
 
 then I check it with ifconfig and everything is correct.  I reboot the
 machine, and recheck ifconfig -- it's wrong.  It resets the IP address to
 192.168.1.1 everytime!  
 
 Currently, I do not have this machine physically hooked up to the network,
 because I was just doing the configuration and I didn't want to knock
 another (very important) machine off the network.  If the ethernet card is
 not actually hooked up to the network, will that cause this reset to
 happen upon every boot?
 
 How do I get it to stay at 192.168.76.76?

have you just typed this command?
To have it permanent you should edit /etc/inet.d/network

DE220 Ethernet Card

Hi

Has anyone experience with a D-Link 220 E-Card ?
I tried the de200 de201 and so on kernel mods. and also the de600 and de620,
but none of them seem to work.

oh .. it's a pnp , maybe this part of isapnp will help:

 Same here.  I think it's a feature
 

I always have a constant sound in the background a kind of clicking or so.
I donnow if this is related.
I don't have a mic. pluged in. This sound also ocures on things like visbell
or disk activity which seems kinda odd.

Once, in the dark ages of 1996. Daniel Stringfield wrote about PGP :
 From what I understand, PGP 'international' is not supposed to be used in
 the US, and the US version is not supposed to be use outside of the US.
 Is this right?  Which one should I be using?
 

Hmmm, as far as I know is the Us version only for US-Citizes in the US and
the -i for all outside.
What to do for a non-US-citizen in the states like me ?

So the stupid law forbids pgp at all ??

donnow, correct me if I am wrong

It may be wrong, but I think it was Bernd Eckenfels who wrote 1996 AD:
  /* Mount Exploit for Linux, Jul 30 1996
 
 whats your version of the mount package? Should be fixed long ago... (if it
 isnt another bug in mount):

It was mount-package-2.5

 This is in buzz-fixed!
 

I now installed mount 2.5j from buzz

The hack _still works_ so it seemed to be an other problem. I didn't have the
chance to trie it on an other computer than mine :)
I just installed the mount packege with --force-depend , so I don't know if
the prob is maybe outside of mount

God bless

debian via ftp

1996-11-23 Thread Alexander N. Benner
Hi  -  let's use this tool as well :)
After reading some of the readmefiles I still have some Q.

I have Linux 2.0.0 from the German distributor S.u.S.E., after installing
some packages directly from sunsite, other from debian I must have confused
my system a bit :} this and other problems made me want to reinstall the
system.
I also increase my hdspace from 1 to 2.2 GB which gives me more space to
spead my files :) [and the possibility to make a backup partition :]

I wan't to install debian now via etherlink.
Which programs do I need for that ? [ dselect , dk??-ftp , ... ]
And were are they ?

can you give me suggestions in partitoning 1.5 GB ?
can I just overwrite my running system or should I first get rid of some
parts ?
( i don't wan't the system to crash while I install :)

thanx and God bless you
