Re: Open File Limit
english mode=tarzan Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that /proc/sys/fs/inode-nr means so, looks like /proc/sys/fs/file-nr is the one you are looking for. I've found this: http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~didi/file-nr.html /english That is true, but I allways thought that you also need to change the per/process limits with ulimit -n (if you are working with bash) -- JJ van Gorkum Knowledge Zone If UNIX isn't the solution, you've got the wrong problem.
Re: Smart Array 641 ?

I'm pretty sure I read someone managed to do that, but I can't find the link anymore. Any help would be appreciated Woody's bf24 kernel has a cciss driver version 2.4.5 that doesn't find it. On HP site, they mention a 2.4.44 version. So we are stuck with a machine with no HD, unless we put them on the non-scsi controller... This is a bit of a problem, HP/Compaq assume you are using a redhat kernel (which is a base linus kernel with a whole lot of -ac and other patches). The cciss driver used in the 2.4.18-bf24 kernel uses an old (buggy) cciss driver. Wait for the 2.4.21 kernel (currently in -rc2 state) to become available for Debian. in this source tree the cciss (and other hp/compaq) drivers are bumped to the current (same as on the hp/compaq site) version. -- JJ van Gorkum Knowledge Zone If UNIX isn't the solution, you've got the wrong problem.
Re: PPTP and Firewalls
Does the PPTP server have a real IP address, or is there some sort of NAT/DNAT/SNAT being done by the firewall? The PPTP server doesn't have a real IP, part of the problem for me is trying to get the DNAT/SNAT rules working properly. As I understand it, I need to DNAT all GRE traffic to the PPTP server and SNAT it back again, but I can't quite figure out the rules. What do you see with a tcpdump on the firewall, and does the server's ConfReq actually make it to the client at all? The tcpdump shows packets being sent into both sides of the firewall, but never coming out of it. This quite clearlt indicates that my GRE forwarding rules are wrong, but I can't figure out what the right ones are. Can the PPTP server ping the client? The server can ping the client IP fine, the firewall seems to work correctly for everything other than the GRE packets. Have you explicitly allowed GRE traffic through the firewall? I'm trying, but I think that's what I've got wrong. If you could give me some example rules that would do this, that'd be really appreciated.

I can't compile with authmysql on debian 3 woody... yes i do have all the require lib's for mysql got a full server install and libmysqlclient10 installed. I have tried the following as sergested by the faq and in mailing list...

You do not have to SNAT it back. have you tried testing the PPTP server from inside the network to make sure that there is no problem with the PPTP server ?

You need libmysqlclient10-dev to compile packages using the mysql client.
You also have to specify --with-mysql-{libs,includes} to point to
/usr/include/mysql and /usr/lib respectively.
I also think that there's no need to compile it yourself, since courier-imap
and authmysql are in stable (Woody). If you realyy want to compile your own,
then get the debianized sources with build dependencies and satisfy them. In
most cases backporting to woody is easier than building from un-debianized
sources.
In general, me (and most debian using people I know of) prefer to (in this
order):
- use the maintainer debs (from woody or sarge)
- backport (or use) debs from sid
- build own debs (merge fresh mainstream sources and the debianized stuff
from the maintainer)
- use mainstream sources only
Most of us are in the ISP business or work for medium to large sized
companies, and IMHO in this position it's wise to benefit from a packet
maintainer's work. If you need a software with no deb maintainer, give back
to the community and actually _become_ a maintainer for that software
package.
