over 8 characters in passwords
From: Buddha Buck [EMAIL PROTECTED] my root password is ... say toto. when i try to login with password totoxxx, it works. The xdm login only compares characters from the begining, to the end of the password. is it normal ??? It shouldn't be that way for your root password as toto, but let's say your root password was wizardoz. Then wizardos_is_a_fraud would work, because anything past 8 letters is ignored. Yes, but the FTP server and the login program act _differently_ on passwords over 8 characters long, such that one breaks and the other doesn't. This is from my experience in logging into master, and I finally had to have Simon reset my password as if I was some sort of newbie :-) . I forget which one breaks. We need to make all programs that ask for passwords consistent in how they behave when given more than 8 characters.

Any way to extract current kernel config?
I'm trying to get IP aliasing going on my brand-spankin' new Debian 1.1 box. It doesn't appear to be compiled in, and I couldn't find it in /lib/modules/current/ipv4. So, my last recourse is to compile a new kernel. However, the thing I'm afraid of is not compiling in some feature that is in the stock debian 1.1 kernel. An example would be my network card. I'm not sure what driver my network card is being driven by; I just know that it's working right now, and I'd hate to accidentally not compile its driver into the kernel (especially since I'm doing this all over the net, and, if the networking stops working, I'll have to actually pay a visit to the physical machine). So, I have a few questions: 1 - To save me the trouble, does anyone have an ip_alias.o that works with the 2.0.6 kernel? You can send it to me via MIME, if you please. 2 - When I run make config on the kernel source, where is that info put? Say, for example, that I forgot to enable *one* driver that I needed, and I didn't want to go back through that torturous QA of make config again. Where's the file I can go to to change that single N to a Y and run make depend again. 3 - Suppose I wanted to make my new kernel as identical to the stock one; basically as a good place to start from while I turn on IP aliasing. Is there a way to extract (or a place to get) the the config file that was used to make the kernel I've got? Is there any chance that the default settings for the debian kernel-source package are set to the same settings as what generated the current kernel?

Questions on packages.(nis,shadow..)..only a couple ;)
Hello, A couple questions on NIS and shadow passwd support... has anyone succesfully compiled the yppasswdd w/ shadow support?? I got the experimental shadow package (along with source..) and it works fine, like a charm... On the yppasswdd man page, shadow support is mentioned, but the package needs to be recompiled to support shadow... (why doesn't it have built in support as packaged?? granted it is a feature, but other packages wu-ftpd, xlockmore, etc, have built in support.. anyway) so i go ahead and just recompile the yppasswdd program. When compiling the update.c file, it complains that it cannot find any reference to spw_* functions (* = lock,unlock,etc..). Anyhow, has anyone succesfully recompiled yppasswdd to support shadow?? if so, any hints/suggestions appreciated... Another question... what is the 'standard' for this issue going to be?? In other words, is shadow the Linux thing (or Debian, for that matter), or are we looking to other alternatives??

If I turn reroute off in diald, some software must forward packets from the SLIP interface (which receives the original request) to the PPP interface which is connected to the real world. I was hoping to be able to use ipfw to do this. 1) Watching the changes that occur even with reroute turned off both the SLIP and PPP interfaces are modified when diald connects 2) In the following configuration:IP: -- | server | | 192.168.1.1| || -- PPP| | ^ | | V | net: 192.168.1.0 | SLIP -- Ethernet --- -- should the SLIP IP=Ethernet IP=192.168.1.1 3) Is there any way of testing forwarding/masquerading withount going live?

Getting config from kernel
Okay, I sent this to the list once already, but I'm not sure it got through. I'm trying to get IP aliasing going on my brand spankin' new Debian 1.1 box. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to have been compiled in, nor could I find a module for it in /lib/modules/current/ipv4. I tried getting the linux-source package and doing make modules, but, when I tried to insmod ip_alias.o, it told me that my 2.06 modules don't match my linux 2.0.6 (even though I'm using the 2.0 version of the modules package, which was supposed to fix that bug). So, I've resigned myself to recompiling the kernel. However, I'm worried that, during the QA of make config, I'll accidentally say no to a driver that I need. For example, with my network card, I'm not exactly sure which driver is driving it, but I know that the card is working with the stock 2.0.6 kernel that came with debian. Since I'm doing this over the net, and since I'd like to avoid having to pay a visit to the physical machine if at all possible, I'd like to make sure that all my necessary drivers are compiled in. The way I'd really like to do this is to be able to somehow extract or ftp a copy of the config file used to make the stock debian kernel. Then, I'd know that I was starting from something that I *know* works, and I could then make incremental changes to that. So, a few questions: 1 - Any ideas on how to get ip_alias.o to load? 2 - Where is the information generated by make config kept? For example, suppose I forgot to compile in *one* crucial driver, and I don't want to go through the grueling QA that make config puts me through. Where can I make that one-line change and then go on to make depend, etc.? 3 - Is there any way I can extract or obtain a copy of what config was used to generate the 2.0.6 kernel that I'm using? - Joe -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

SMP and /dev/cua_ and nfs module
Hi, yesterday I joined the SMP-community running 2.0.21 on a TYAN Tomcat II (yes, the working cache modules installed!) with two 133MHz Pentiums, some SCSI devices, and no network, yet. My Linux distribution is the lastest Debian 1.1.9. After compiling 2.0.21 I booted the new kernel with the following results: - Both CPUs were installed correctly - The kernel booted as usual (SCSI detection, ...) - BUT then I got a complete HANG after the message: Configuring serial ports ... (This is the moment where all the /dev/cua.'s are setup. Without SMP there are no problems at all.) Therefore I removed the corresponding 0setserial script from /etc/rc.boot (?, sorry, I'm not sure if this is the correct directory name ?). Then I rebooted and everything worked fine. SMP is up and running smoothly! Questions: - Is this a known conflict between SMP and 0setserial ? - What do I need this script for ? 2nd problem: - compiling SMP _and_ nfs as a module leads to : *** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/2.0.21/fs/nfs.o (Without SMP are all symbols resolved.)

Re: make-kpgk modules troubles
Hi Thomas -- A while ago you asked: Until recently, I just rolled my own kernel as I was used to do with Slackware. But since I found out about make-kpkg, I decided to do things the Debian way and use that instead. After much hassle wit the broken tar (solved by downgrading), there's still a problem: Whenever I try to make a modules package for my system, I end up with a message like Modules not configured, so not making modules. Then Joey Hess replied: Sorry, I can't help you with your problem, but this does raise a question in my mind: what exactly is the benefit of using the kernel-package vs. rolling your own kernel? The following might be useful input for both questions: make-kpkg provides a kernel-image package that can be managed and manipulated like other Debian packages. The accessibility of all the files involved in upgrading a kernel to the Debian tools is an advantage, especially if one is trying out many kernel configurations and/or versions. Once I run make-kpkg kernel_image it is very easy to make a new copy of the Debian boot disk, using the boot-floppies package: cd /usr/src/bootfloppies-1.1.1 ./bootdisk.sh kernel-image-2.0.whatever.deb /dev/fd0 1440 This makes a handy emergency boot disk (even though its initial primary design was for installation.)

So I invoked kernel-package-2.03 using the command make-kpkg -r kernel-image-2.0.21-Custom.1.i386.deb kernel_image This broke, however, with the following messages: make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.21/arch/i386/lib' make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.21' touch stamp-build make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.21' install -d -o root -g root -m 755 image-tmp/DEBIAN Error: Can't open display: -o make: *** [stamp-image] Error 1 This happened at the end of the compile. The kernel and the modules compiled well, and I installed them the traditional way with no further problems. I have to admit, that I configured a rather fat kernel with a lot of modules. The same process (same linux-2.0.21, same Debian 1.1.8) for my old office 386 DX33 (4 MB -- I use it just as a print server and as a news window ;-) succeeded with no problems after 16 hours of compile time in a kernel-image-2.0.21-Custom.1.i386.deb, which installed fine with dpkg. However, this was configured as a rather tiny kernel with only a few modules. Am I missing something? Or is there a bug with kernel-package-2.03? As a Slackware convertit, I am new to Debian (and like it ...), but I am a rather experienced Linux user. Should I write a bug report? I have no problems with this situation, since kernel 2.0.21 is up and running now -- but not the standard Debian way. So any hint would be welcome.

Re: make-kpkg kernel_image fails
Hi -- You said: make-kpkg -r kernel-image-2.0.21-Custom.1.i386.deb kernel_image The -r flag takes the revision number as an argument, not the entire package name. Try make-kpkg -r Custom.1 or make-kpkg -r Custom-1 if the '.' is causing problems. BTW, make-kpkg expects that it will be invoked from a clean top level source directory. So if you've previously compiled in /usr/src/linux, then (I think) you need to execute make-kpkg clean before proceeding.

This is an update to my earlier post.

Re: Getting config from kernel
I'm trying to get IP aliasing going on my brand spankin' new Debian 1.1 box. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to have been compiled in, nor could I find a module for it in /lib/modules/current/ipv4. I just got this working... Pretty nifty feature if you ask me... So, a few questions: 1 - Any ideas on how to get ip_alias.o to load? Nope... 2 - Where is the information generated by make config kept? For example, suppose I forgot to compile in *one* crucial driver, and I don't want to go through the grueling QA that make config puts me through. Where can I make that one-line change and then go on to make depend, etc.? It's kept in linux/.config . I believe that make config actually looks at your current kernel to figure out a default if you don't already have a .config.. I say this because every time I compile a fresh kernel it already has 'Y' on the correct network card. Also, you should be able just modify the line or two in that file to turn on ip aliasing, given a working kernel source (ie. one that finds your network card.)

Re: ircII.servers file
Hi, I've edited the ircII.servers file, but when I run irc (the version I took in the Debien distribution), it doesn't change anything in the servers list. I've compiled an irc-ii client, and the result is the same. AFAIK ircII is looking for /usr/lib/irc/ircII.servers if there is no Environment variable. This file should be a link to /etc/ircII.servers. I will fix this in 2.9.3roof (yes, the 3 is added handish, cause the words wont sort in the right order for versions).

Re: Two system admin suggestions, where to post them?
Amos Shapira: and suchlike, I'd rather like to have a command to turn features off and on, like IRIX' chkconfig(8). The idea is that the init scripts use this command to check simple text files that contain off or on for each feature and act accordingly. A simple on/off is inadequate. I put a prototype I wrote recently on http://www.iki.fi/liw/programs/cfgtool.tar.gz (it's not there yet, but should be in about twelve hours). (Support for boolean and other data types is not in prototype, so you'd have to write it as: case `cfgtool --get has-x11` in yes)... ;; esac ) 2.

Linux SMP
Hi guys... I'm wondering if attempting to use Linux-SMP is any good. Afterall, for real efficiency, don't the programs/daemons/utilities have to be designed in such a way that they'll make use of SMP capabilities? For example, if I have sendmail, pop3d, httpd daemons running, on a dual processor system with SMP kernel, as compared to a single-processor system, would I gain much advantage? Let's say, for example, a dual-133 and a single-PPro200. My feeling is that for raw speed and efficiency, the PPro200 would easily win out... Now, due to the fact that most ISP usage is dependent on bandwidth limitations (meaning that a lot of the time the raw processor power won't do much good) what is your opinion on choosing a more effective system? Between say dual-133 or single-Pro200? I definitely feel that on internal processing, like compiling, using msql, etc, the Pro200 would by far be the better choice.

NFS user/group aliasing
Does anyone have a NFS filesystem for linux which allows the system manager to specify an alias file, such that UIDs and GIDs are converted from the NFS server numbering scheme to one provided by the client? I import NFS mounts from my local server, but they use GID numbers which conflict with those found in the standard debian /etc/groups file. I would rather not change the groups file in debian to match solaris... (ok, so I am a solaris hater). I am sure my problem is not uncommon, so before I consider reinventing the wheel I thought I would check to see if anyone has solved this already. I expect ugidd is the normal way to do this, but I would not be able to get my NFS server system manager to run this daemon (security you know). I half thought I could hack up the standard NFS client in the kernel to allow an alias file for GID conversions to be specified during the mount command, but this probably would not be a particularly clean solution. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Gordon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: make-kpgk modules troubles
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to offer the user the option of inserting a floppy and making a boot disk as part of the make-kpkg kernel_image? Or perhaps the ./bootdisk.sh kernel-images NOT to require the .deb format? I must admit I haven't given this a lot of thought. But I too was weaned on Slackware and am used to rolling my own. Jeff The following might be useful input for both questions: make-kpkg provides a kernel-image package that can be managed and manipulated like other Debian packages. The accessibility of all the files involved in upgrading a kernel to the Debian tools is an advantage, especially if one is trying out many kernel configurations and/or versions. Once I run make-kpkg kernel_image it is very easy to make a new copy of the Debian boot disk, using the boot-floppies package: cd /usr/src/bootfloppies-1.1.1 ./bootdisk.sh kernel-image-2.0.whatever.deb /dev/fd0 1440 This makes a handy emergency boot disk (even though its initial primary design was for installation.) One can't use the boot floppies script without the kernel-image .deb file. HTH, Susan Kleinmann -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
