E-Mail Setup Question - new server
I'm going to be making some changes to my Internet configuration and I need some help/pointers on making the changes to the e-mail configuration. I've currently got an old server running SCO Unix - name is "vnet". Right now, it is configured for UUCP transfer of e-mail from the Internet. I've got a new server running Debian GNU/Linux - name is "hicks". - All e-mail on the old system comes to/from the DN and the server the user resides on is "hidden". - The old SCO box is being dropped in favour of the Linux box. (YeeHaw!!! ) - The user accounts on vnet don't yet exist on hicks. - I'd like to do a one-time "flip-of-the-switch" where all mail from the Internet get sent to mailboxes on hicks rather than vnet. Can you help me out by answering the following and/or expounding on what I'm in for? TIA 1. The accounts on vnet will have to exist on hicks before hicks will accept e-mail for those users, right? 2. What problems might I have with incoming mail? i.e. If a message was addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], then it's going to bounce because vnet no longer exists.

Re: Using LILO...
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Dear Mr. Scheetz: Oh, goodie---now maybe I can pay back some of the help you've given in the past :-). The following assumes that your failure mode is that booting still puts you right into DOS with no indication that LILO ever runs. (I.e., you don't see ``LILO'' appear on the screen at boot time.) If I'm mistaken, send more info. For my money, the best way to start out using LILO is to edit lilo.conf to say: boot=/dev/fd0 instead of what I suspect it now says: boot=/dev/hdb then o put a floppy in o run lilo (as root :-)) o set your BIOS to try to boot from A: before C: o leaving the floppy in, reboot If this doesn't work the way you want, fiddle with lilo.conf until it does. The _big_ advantage is that you're only screwing up a floppy if something goes wrong---you pretty much can't render your hard drive unbootable. Once things are arranged to your satisfaction, you're ready to decide where to put the LILO boot loader on your hard drive. Since you have only a single DOS partition on hda, your choices are: boot=/dev/hda using the current partitioning setup, or repartition (using FIPS to avoid backup/restore) to give yourself a small second partion (it doesn't have to be Linux, it could even be a second DOS partition), say /dev/hda2, and say boot=/dev/hda2 The advantage of the latter setup is that you don't touch your DOS MBR---just set hda2 to be the active partition, and the DOS MBR will hand control over to LILO. Then if something goes wrong (like, say, you install Windows 95), it doesn't touch LILO---you can use DOS's fdisk to reset hda2 as the active partition, and Shazam!, LILO's back in the saddle. This is the Reader's Digest condensed version of what works for me---if you'd like more detail, don't hesitate to write. - -- Sincerely yours, Max Hyre -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBM2ee2fJa20+mce5pAQGuVAQAn6wcCFm8hu9unf/gqKZHzS3KeomojPhS Op4xXQ/+86g4Z+NFW9SF+EQTNJ+3qzoSyqoyJQoXIuNnt73l2WxP3RS698gnU9Jl Mc1pqdJJqtIjA6qF49s+xtYK7lnHMA2EbPvtJqxJf5oLXio6OITTVnfkRY2iT6yz eQQtZ2mzHKw= =9JFi -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

mirror sym links
Hi everyone, I know I saw a question about sym links with the mirror program a while ago, and I was just wondering if a solution was ever found. I'm basically trying to get a mirror of debian before I go home for the summer without an ethernet. If symlinks can't be extracted to the actual file, perhaps someone has a config file for mirror of stable, contrib, non-free, and the boot disk for i386 already done. I saw the example file that comes with mirror, but it filled up my harddrive (300+ megs were free). I'm assuming this is because it was getting too much. I'll figure this out for myself later, but I'm on a time constraint now, and I don't want to keep downloading the same files over and over again.

Re: module problem
You'll need the kernel-source and pcmcia-source packages. Configure the kernel by running "make config" in /usr/src/linux. Then build the modules by executing "debian/rules binary-modules" in the /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs directory. Finally, install the resulting package using "dpkg --install pcmcia-modules...".

A quickly hack too, judging both on the comments and on the functionality. I just went thru the exercise of setting up a Debian based server for a community network, and I ended up modifying both adduser and deluser (and delgroup) for our purposes. Is is just me, or is it really the case that no Unix has decent tools for administering user accounts :-), I've pretty much had to do this on every Unix system I've touched over the years ... but now I'm straying :-) The point is (and perhaps I should be directing this at the developer list) that there really is not a good utility maintaining accounts in Unix and nor in Debian. The ones that do work are always idiosyncratic to some flavor of Unix. And for no particular reason, as the underlying passwd and group files use the same formats (or system calls, if you want to go that route). This is, like, the very first thing you need to do once you bring a system up, start adding accounts. Ought to be more bullet proof than we see here. So, just like Debian has put forth a great deal of effort in the dpkg, and I take my hat off to it, there ought to be a similar effort put forth for user account administration. My question here, is whether there is such an effort under way? -- Dirk Herr-Hoyman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DANEnet, Connecting Dane County's Communities http://danenet.wicip.org -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Using LILO...
Just put the MBR on hda. I don't believe the rest makes a difference since I use lilo to boot my kernel images from hdb3 using hda2 as root partition. I have a 2.5 MB partition (hdb3) that I mount as /kernel. This is to avoid the 1023 cylinder limit. My hdb is only 85 MB. The MBR has to be on the first HD if your bios won't boot anything but A,C. If you can adjust it in the BIOS to boot your hdb then that should fix it too.

What I do is set the BIOS clock to GMT and edit /etc/init.d/boot (it

I had the same problem when I partitioned a large disk. I particular I was partitioning it into several logical partitions on the outer-most part of the disk. "cfdisk" did not like this and gave me the error you mentioned. To solve this, what I had to do was "Execute a shell", which is the last item on the debian installation sequence menu (i.e. the large menu you get when performing an initial install, first item is "partition a hard disk, etc." Then from the shell, I executed the old "fdisk" utility, which is a not-as- nice-looking-but-sufficient precursor of "cfdisk". It's use is self-explanatory (type 'm' for help, etc.). Incidentally, I was going to report this but forgot! :-( Once you've partitioned with "fdisk" instead of "cfdisk", go back into the Debian installation procedure by typing "exit" at the shell prompt. DO NOT go into "partition a hard disk" at this point, since you've already done it with fdisk, and you'll just get that cfdisk-error that you got before.

Hi, I'm not sure what causes this problem but I've run into it once or twice before.

If your "/usr/include/ctype.h" file contains the "#include_next ..." line, it's wrong and should be replaced.

Re: Copying a system (Was Re: Directory permissions.)
The reason I opted for mc in the first place was for the ability to tag or untag directories to avoid copying /proc and the /mnt directories. Since it had the option to retain UID's and GID's I thought it was a safe option. I backfired on me which I think is a bug and will report it as such. I will say that other than the directory permissions it worked well. I should have followed my usual procedure of dbl checking before I removed the old file system. The linuxconf suggestion changed some of the permissions for me. The system is working without any errors other than the smail error. I think I should be able to operate without re-installing and fix the permissions as I go. Thanks to everyone for the helpful advice. On Tue, 29 Apr 1997, Robert D.

In this situation, the new drive (and files) are mounted right over top of the existing directory structure. (BTW, as a tip, this is a great way to "hide" a directory structure on your system from prying eyes Drop some files into a directory and then mount something over top of it. Poof! The files are "gone" until you need them and access them.) Once you know things are working, then unmount the new fs from /usr/lib, remove the existing structure, and then remount the fs.

I don't know how important the other options are, but they work for me. Similarly, I don't think the -depth option for find is needed, but I still use it because that is what was recommended. If you copying an entire file system you would cd to root before giving 'find .'. If the file system is mounted du /proc returns zero, since /proc is a pseudo file system that (I believe) references various segments of the kernel image, but find/cpio copies at least 30 MB of the kernel image into /proc on the new system, which isn't good. Another problem with issuing this command from a mounted filesystem is that it will recursively copy /mnt (or whatever node the system is being copied to), which will soon fill your disk. If your old system is on one partition, this can be prevented using the -mount or -xdev options to find. To avoid copying some directories, such as /proc or /mnt, there is a -prune option to find (you can't use -depth with -prune), but I haven't been able to make it work. Instead of using '.' for 'old path', you can include each directory under / manually. This is a little tedious to type in, but works well. If you have a rescue partition the simplest system is to boot the rescue partition, mount the old filesystem on one mount point and the new file system on another mount point, and give the command: find -depth -print0|cpio -pdm0 If the old file system is on several partitions, some creative modifications are necessary.
