/etc/resolv.conf has wrong permissions
Hi all, I installed 1.3 on a clean machine this week using the 30 May '97 series of disks. The install went smoothly except for two things. The X Windows 3.3 in unstable has the same problem that has been discussed in this list, (Lack of tty0), so I won't go into that. However, /etc/resolv.conf is installed with or modified to root/root -rw--- permissions. This sounds logical until a normal user tries to dial out. It was weird, my normal account would dial and login ok, but all of the net calls would show a Host name lookup failure. I could even su to root and things would work fine. To make this short, I changed the permissions to root/dip -rw-r- and things are fine now. I would appreciate hearing comments. I'll try to track down the offending package and file a bug report, but with my skill level, that may take a while. Debian is a great system, this is my second.

Ypbind problem
I have a small problem with ypbind. Master NIS server is running at 192.168.1.100 (network 192.168.96/255.255.255.224) and client machine is at 192.168.1.37 (network 192.168.1.32/255.255.255.224). When I start ypbind it tries to find out master server by broadcasts, even if I specify domain and server with 'ypbind -S office,192.168.1.100'. I have also placed following info into /etc/yp.conf: domain office nisserver 192.168.1.100 But I assume /etc/yp.conf doesn't do anything because Debian 1.3.0 doesn't have NIS support compiled into C-library.

Debian comes with the ported BSD ypbind, which does not support binding to servers in another subnet. I currently have no debian package of my ypbind (I'm planning on doing this, but lack the time at the moment), but you should be able to compile and install it without problems (you find it on ftp://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/linux/local/yp/ypbind-3.2.tar.gz). This version is much more stable than older versions, perhaps it can be included into the standard Debian NIS package. Before you make install, you might want to dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/sbin/ypbind.bsd /usr/sbin/ypbind dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/man/man8/ypbind.bsd.8.gz /usr/man/man8/ypbind.8.gz Hope this helps. --Swen -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Smail and spammers
Is there any way I can disable spammers from using my smail server to distribute spam? From the logs it appears that someone is sending mail from a compuserve account that then propagates into a large batch of mails to address all over the world. let me preface this with: While I am a lawyer, this is not legal advice, and any such advice needed should come from an attorney licensed in your state. That said . . If I understand this correctly (and i haven't a clue how smail works), this person is sending messages that use your machine to go further? If this is anything more than routine message relay to the next machine, I'd love to see you contact your local United States attorney to have the spammer prosecuted for theft of computer services.

Books on Debian
I wonder if the Debian team has any plan of publishing a book on how to install/use/administer a Debian system ?? I suspect people who are new to Linux and haven't decided which distribution to install may find the idea of a reference book very reassuring. Who knows, this may turn out to be the factor that tips the balance in favour of a Debian system over others. I know some people would say one doesn't need a book cause there are all those guides that come with the distribution. But for people who are new to Linux or who are reponsible for setting up and maintaining a network of Linux boxes, a complete reference book is a very attractive thing to have. I am about to install Linux on a Pentimum II box with 512MB of memory for some people. One of the thing they demand is the supply of a few reference books on the Linux distribution that I have installed so that they can learn to use and run the system themselves. Now, because there is not (correct me if I'm wrong) a book on Debain but there are books on Slackware, I think I would have no choice but to install Slackware instead of the Debian. Another setback !! Something for the team to think about. Cheers, H.C. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Debian books
Well, it seems to me that once debian is INSTALLED, you administrate it just like any other linux, unix or *nix system. There are a few quirks, but it really isn't possible to say that one *nix is _standard_, so you might say they're _all_ unstandard. While I can understand that someone might want to have a Debian complete Manual, I'm not sure it's possible. Feel free to contradict me here, those who are close to the project. What would you put in a book? Get them something like Running Linux and a copy of the network admin's guide ... As frustrating as it sometimes is, debian isn't a unified system ... it's a series of unified systems which all work together via the dependancies. Knowing where to find a particular file or how to configure something is much less a matter of knowing which version of Debian you have that it is of knowing, for example, which version of the Xbase package you have. Maybe it'd be possible to have the package maintainers document their packages more thoroughly, and distribute those.

At any rate, I believe I can say with some certainty that he pronounces his name E'-en, with a long E sound and the generic unstressed schwa-vowel type sound. Will's description of the pronunciation of Debian is pretty close to Ian's, except I'm not sure I'd set off the i.

Re: Connecting to Windows NT
Leandro Asnaghi-Nicastro wrote:
Hello everyone.
First thing I apologize right away if I am posting this in the wrong
areas.
Reading the latest version of the PPP How To, I discovered that PPP
has something called MS CHAP. Apparentely if you have a WinNT
server, this is what is required to connect Linux to it.
Has anyone tried this? As far as I know the server is asking for
CHAP since it wants my username and password, and once I connect,
the very first time, when I connected under Win95, it asked the
network name. After entering that, everything worked fine.
I am relatively new to Linux, just converted from Win, although I am
too used at have everything working (and crashing) right away.
Any hints or suggestions would be great from someone who has tried
anything like it before.
I've never dialed-in to an NT machine. However, just because Win95
prompts for user/password doesn't mean CHAP is used. Win95 tries to
be real clever with authentication, responding to plain old login:/
password: auth, PAP, and CHAP as it detects them. If you really want
to see what's going on, use HyperTerminal and manually dial in. Does
it prompt you with user:, login: or some such thing? If this is
a case you'll need to set up your chat dial script to respond to
these prompts with your user id and password. If once the modem connects
you see garbage spewing out, then PPP is starting automatically and
auth must by default be either PAP or CHAP. In this case get pppd set
up with debugging on ('debug' on the command line or in the options
file) and look at /var/log/ppp.log. Without understanding all the
info that's there, you should still see PAP or CHAP somewhere in
the output and you'll know what you need. Then you'll need to edit
either /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets, respectively,
and create an entry with your login/password. There should be examples
in these files to go by.

Re: Connecting to Windows NT
I've never dialed-in to an NT machine. However, just because Win95
prompts for user/password doesn't mean CHAP is used. Win95 tries to
be real clever with authentication, responding to plain old login:/
password: auth, PAP, and CHAP as it detects them. If you really want
to see what's going on, use HyperTerminal and manually dial in. Does
it prompt you with user:, login: or some such thing? If this is
a case you'll need to set up your chat dial script to respond to
these prompts with your user id and password. If once the modem connects
you see garbage spewing out, then PPP is starting automatically and
auth must by default be either PAP or CHAP. In this case get pppd set
up with debugging on ('debug' on the command line or in the options
file) and look at /var/log/ppp.log. Without understanding all the
info that's there, you should still see PAP or CHAP somewhere in
the output and you'll know what you need. Then you'll need to edit
either /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets, respectively,
and create an entry with your login/password. There should be examples
in these files to go by.
Thank you for your message =)
I tried to connect using MINICOM to capture to log what WinNT is telling
Win95 during the login process. Unfortunately nothing appears. I pressed
Enter a couple of times to see if any character would appear, but so far, no
luck.
Any suggestion?

This probably means that NT is waiting to receive a real PPP packet,
and is ignoring your carriage returns you're typing. This would also
imply that it wants to authenticate using PAP/CHAP. You should get
a chat script working for pppd to connect up. I guess a lot of people
use pon/poff but I've never tried these since it's easy enough to
write a simple script. Here's an example: (please excuse the
unintended line-breaks my email client is sure to insert in the
'connect' stuff)
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 38400 crtscts debug lock modem defaultroute \
connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -t 120 ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' '' ATZ
OK ATE0V1 OK ATDT5551212 CONNECT ''
Note that this script will not try to do authentication, but having
debug as an option will log packets to /var/log/ppp.log, and you
should be able to see what it is that NT wants.

No, you need a new ncurses, available in masters' incomming.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ dpkg -r libc5-dev
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libc5-dev:
libgdbm1-dev depends on libc5-dev.
ncurses3.0-pic depends on libc5-dev.
libg++27-dev depends on libc5-dev.
ncurses3.0-dev depends on libc5-dev.

dpkg: error processing libc5-dev (--remove):

Errors were encountered while processing:
libc5-dev
Is it too dangerous to use dpkg --force- ?
Better to remove all those libs (especially the libg++27-dev one:
why didn't you do so before installing libg++272-dev?), and try
and get libc6 ones. Not all are available, so you will not be able
to compile everything any more. Just bug the maintainers of packags
that don't have libc6 libraries yet.
Note, however, that due to Guy's vacation, new libc6 compiled
library pacakges (with new names) will not be installed in
unstable, and can thus only be found in master's incoming.
So, if yoy want to be a Real Man/Woman, don't track unstable,
that's for whimps: track master'sincomming (only available
for maintainers).

Does this actually work for you? (One way to find out is to use a CGI script which prints out $REMOTE_HOST.) If so, what version of netscape are you using?

I pronounce Linux as Linn-ux, not Line-ux even though it may have been a play on the name Linus, who pronounces his name as Leenus. As for Debian I say Dee-Bee-Un.
