network printing
I don't remember seeing if this posted the first time, so forgive me if it did. I need to set up a debian box to print to a Windows NT shared printer. The NT server is a PDC . The printer is an HP 5000. If anyone could help, I could use it. Waynes
upgrade
I installed my base Debian from a CD of 2.1r4. Then in Deselect I used the apt selection for downloading the packages. Does this method also update my kernel to the current one debian uses? I keep hearing about the release potatowhich one is this? I tried using apt from the command line by typing apt-get dist-upgrade, but it came back and said none to upgrade. I know they have 2.1r5 out and I'm not sure if I what I did upgraded. When is 2.2 suppose to come out, or is that potato? what do I type to show the current kernel version? Wayne
user server
I have recently acquired a domain with quite alot of user webpages. The server it was originnally on was a FreeBSD box. It placed the users under a strange directoty path. For example the url http://home.techgod.net/~user on the the server it goes to /server/ftp/u/user/html in other words after the ftp directory, the path goes to the first letter of the username and then the username, and then an html folder. I have to move this to my own server. I use Debian 2.1r4. Instead of keeping the Directory structure, I moved all users out of the alfabetical directory structure, and put them all under /home. I ran a password convert, and all the users can log in and access their ftp. Now what I can't seem to get done is to get apache to recognize that /~username goes to /home/username/html Can anyone help me get this done easily? Wayne
RE: virtual ip's
Actually the ifconfig and the route worked perfectly. I remembered the ifconfig but was forgetting the route. Now on my other machines I usually put these statements in the rc.local file to work on boot-up. But there doesn't seem to be one in debian, or am I just blind and missing it? If there isn't, what file should I put these statements in?
