You might like to look at Donald Becker's page of information (including newer drivers) about the 3Com vortex cards: http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html There has been varying amounts of success with the 3c905 card reported on the vortex mailing list. Unfortunately, there's at least one of these cards (i.e. mine) which really doesn't want to work under linux.

Thanks - I'm pretty sure I did this and it still couldn't connect. After
much tinkering around (and geting irritated that dpkg won't tell you
which programs have "installed" status), I have written a little script
to generate an ftp script.
This is the first time I've used awk, so it's probably not well written (but
it's un-intelligable enough!). Two problems at the moment, if "prefix" is
non-blank but without a trailing slash, then the script will be broken. Also
the script will download every occurance of the package in available. If you
just want the first occurance, put another set of braces around the "print"
statement and just before the new closing brace type:
; delete list[pkg]
prefix=/packages/debian/
# ensure prefix ends in a backslash (unless it is blank)
output=~/ftpscript
echo bin > $output
awk -v prefix=$prefix \
'func check() {if (get=="T") {list[pkg]=0; get="F"} else if (pkg in list) \
print gensub("(.*)/([^/]*)$","cd \\1 \nget \\2",1,file) } \
BEGIN {get="F"} END {check()} \
/^Package: / {pkg=$2} \
/^Status: install/ {get="T"} \
/^Filename: / {file=$2} \
/^[:blank:]*$/ {check()}' /var/lib/dpkg/{status,available} >> $output

Actually, there is some kind of colour adjust matrix settings that come with Ghostscript 5.03. They basically made stcolor into a generic printer driver, with setting files for STC500, STC600 and STC800 etc. There's a set of colour adjust matrix in stc800??.upp files. (?

It prints a text file though. Wierd. BTW, do you have Windows 95 or 3.1 on your computer? If so, does the EPSON printer works well under Windows? The reason is that I had experienced a minor problem in the past when I set the parallel port to be ECP. ECP doesn't seem to cooperate with the printer, but when I changed it back to EPP, it worked fine. The printer command set, ESC/P2 (?), should be pretty much the same for STC500, STC600 and STC800. Ghostscript 4.03's stcolor should be able to support your STC600, except the lack of 1440x720dpi mode and sub-optimal colour adjust matrix setting. Hmm...

Yes, but not exactly. There's an older model called EPSON Stylus 800, which is a B/W printer, i.e. no colour. It has been out for probably quite a few years now. The hot new model is called EPSON Stylus COLOR 800 and is very different from the old B/W 800. One can use Ghostscript 4.03's stcolor driver for STC800, except that it can only go up to 720x720 dpi, not 1440x720 dpi... (But who needs that high resolution in day-to-day printing? ^_^) Also, the colour map is not optimized for STC800. With the uniprint driver in Ghostscript 5.03, however, some people have contributed wonderful colour map/matrix (?) files for STC500, STC600 and STC800. > I am not familiar with magicfilter, but getting apsfilter to work with the > bjc600 driver was simply a matter of renaming several filter files, since > there is really only one filter and it captures the driver name from the > filter ame. Possibly the same approach would work with magicfilter. Yes, exactly. I have set up magicfilter to work with my EPSON Stylus COLOR 500. Maybe we should add more printer filter files so new users don't have to set up things from scratch. (Actually, I am quite guilty as I speak, because I didn't bother to send any suggestions to magicfilter's maintainer or upstream author... ^_^) Too busy (and lazy) as always. ^_^ Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling[EMAIL PROTECTED] Civil Engineeringhttp://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/ University of Alberta, CanadaKeep smiling! *^_^* -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I have the new Stylus Color 600. I havn't been able to make it work at all with the GS 4 stcolor driver. The printer light just flickers forever and /var/log/messages fills up with 'resetting lp1' type messages. I have tried a large number of things to make it work, but I have of course missed the one that works (if there is one).

I have asked questions in a number of places and only turned up one other person with one of this latest generation from Epson.

Some older versions of the C libraries set the floating point control word to a non-standard value. That can affect the production and detection of NaN's. Checking a recently installed Debian 1.3 system for the file /usr/include/i386/fpu_control.h (included from /usr/include/fpu_control.h), it shows /* Linux default: - extended precision - rounding to nearest - exceptions on overflow, zero divide and NaN */ #if 0 #define _FPU_DEFAULT 0x1372 #else /* It seems SVR4/x86 uses the same thing. */ #define _FPU_DEFAULT 0x137f #endif /* IEEE: same as above, but exceptions */ #define _FPU_IEEE 0x137f The present default behaviour is the IEEE behaviour but it used to be different. If you find that your libraries give a non-standard default, either update the libraries and recompile or include that header file in your code and call __setfpucw (_FPU_IEEE); before doing any floating point calulations. Under the development version of Debian 2.0 the include file /usr/include/fpu_control.h is complete by itself. There is no /usr/include/i386/fpu_control.h -- Douglas Bates[EMAIL PROTECTED] Statistics Department608/262-2598 University of Wisconsin - Madisonhttp://www.stat.wisc.edu/~bates/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

It works in bash! Thanks! I usually use tcsh so I'll need the equivalent features for it, but this is a nice work-around for me. The tcsh man page says Unknown characters (i.e. those that are neither printable nor control characters) are printed in the format \nnn. If the tty is not in 8 bit mode, other 8 bit characters are printed by converting them to ASCII and using standout mode. The shell never changes the 7/8 bit mode of the tty and tracks user-initiated changes of 7/8 bit mode. NLS users (or, for that matter, those who want to use a meta key) may need to explicitly set the tty in 8 bit mode through the appropriate stty(1) command in, e.g., the ~/.login file. So I tried: $ stty -parenb -istrip cs8 or $ stty pass8 and it still beeps at me. At least now I know it should work, because it works in bash!

Win95 uses broadcast in order to find machines when you look in the "network neighborhood". The broadcast must not be getting through IPMasq (I don't think IPMasq handles UDP at all, but I'm guessing). On your Win95 machines behind the Linux box, go to their Network Properties and edit the TCP/IP properties. Enter the IP address of your NT box on the other side as a WINS server (if it's running the WINS server). Your users probably won't see the machines on the other side come up in the network neighborhood, but they will be able to access the shares by name explicitly. -- Jens B.

Help with Samba+Windows+IP-Masq
Hi, I'm needing help with the following: ---DNS/GateWay/Firewall---backbone---NT--Win95---SubLans---etc | | Linux w/IP-Masq (3 3Com590) | | /\ | | Windows Windows Machines My problem is how to allow the Windows machines bellow my Linux Box access Win95/NT/Win3.11 machines on other sub LANs? The strange topology is out of my scope. I just set the Linux Box to allow the windows machines access Internet. Now people are putting information (forms, reports, etc) on Win95/Win311 machines and the windows users of my sub-LAN can't access it. Yes, I'm trying to convince them to use ftp, but ... they are Windows users... The basic needed connection is simply to connect to share disk drive. (Something like: File_manager.Disk.Connect_another_network_unit. The machines outside my Linux LAN do not use fixed IP; they have a dhcp server so I can't use smbclient from Linux to connect to them. Is there a way to have the netbeui (is this?) protocol (?) to pass from one netcard to other in my Linux box?

Upgrading ghostscript?
It's too bad that the libc6 upgrade is leaving users out in the cold for so long... I just got an Epson Stylus Color 800 printer to try out, and I could managed much resolution out of Debian 1.3's installed ghostscript. $ gs -h Aladdin Ghostscript 3.33 (4/10/1995) Now, the latest and greatest from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ is Aladdin Ghostscript 5.03, so the installed version is very old. Okay, so I notice that `non-free' has gs-aladdin 4.03-7. gs-aladdin 5.03-1 is available in unstable, but lists *no* related packages on the web page (This is a bug!). I downloaded it to find it needs: libc6, libjpegg6a, libpaperg (>= 1.0.3-4), libpng0g, svgalibg1, xlib6g (>= 3.3-5), zlib1g So it's based on libc6... I presume I'm not the first to need Aladdin Ghostscript 5.03 to drive a recent printer. Should I just get the sources and install them over Debian's installed files? Do I need anything else? Will I screw up my Debian 1.3 system if I do so? I'm seeking advice here. Any pointers appreciated. Has anyone setup a Stylus 800 with gs-aladdin 4.03-7? What's the max you can do? How do you do it, since magicfilter is also too old to know about this printer? (I'm sure this happens a lot with users stuck on libc5, seeing their system get more and more dated. I like the `Debian' way better than the do-it-all-yourself way of Slackware, except when you *have* to do it yourself on Debian. Then it seems that the dependencies hinder you because you have to do something behind the system's back, which requires greater knowledge of how the system keep track of its dependencies) -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice-Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.

Because you killed the initial start up script, it didn't get removed, so you get stuck in it every time you boot. (this is probably what is causing the "auto login") Look in /root for something called setup.sh (I think that's the name...). There are also two other files that are "mangled" for the install. One is bash_profile and the other is one of the init scripts. Look through /etc for files with a .real extention. Copy these files over their "proper" counterparts and delete the setup.sh in /root and you should see more what you expect from the console.

Automatic root login after boot
I have an odd problem with my Debian system. When it boots up into multi-user mode, it "automatically" logs in as 'root' on the first console. It's impossible to terminate the session, as a new one starts immediately after I exit the shell. It's in run level 2 and the other consoles behave normally. Another problem I have is that the machine won't reboot by itself. If I "telinit 6", it shuts down, then sits there without rebooting until I hit the reset button. Is this an AMD quirk? I loaded Debian 1.3 on an old AMD 486-80 based machine. It seemed to load properly, except that a number of utilities were not present (such as 'dselect', "mesg", "start-stop-daemon"). I was a bit dubious, but not having loaded Debian for a while (last time it was at 1.0, I think) I just assumed I wasn't up with the latest developments. I scrounged a dselect binary which ran, but no access methods were available so I was no better off. The autologin phenomenon didn't manifest itself until I tried reinstalling the base system from the boot diskettes. On booting from the hard disk after this, it asked me to pick a root password, but after the "passwd" dialog, it'd say "Try again" and run "passwd" again. I flipped to another console, logged in as a mere user, su'ed and killed the passwd and bash processes, and ran "passwd" manually to set the root password. Now I have the autologin problem but "dselect" seems to be OK. My guess is that part(s) of the Debian load process didn't complete, or failed silently. Can anyone shed light on this?

Remote installation of Debian-Packages ...
Hello ! What i am missing in all Linux-distributions (please correct me, if i'm wrong), is the possibility to install (or de-install or whatever needs to be done) packages on another machine remotely and/or scheduled. I experienced, that it is a big thumb-up for decision- makers if a system is supporting this functionality. I'm aware off course, that there is a certain security problem, especially if the sources of the related software is publically available. One can not base on the "security" of keys generated at runtime from compiled-in constants or whatever ... like some well-known expensive system-management-tools do. It just would be nice to have a tool, where one can type in (or read in from a file) a list of machines, where sth. should be installed at a certain time (in the night usually). The rexec-tool would make these things not too difficult, but it would require the superuser-passwords to be stored in some secure place, what is somewhat problematic. I have no real solution for this at hand, just wanted to point out, that for a large-scale introduction of Linux in the industry this functionality might become an important feature ... just my opinion.

Xterminal and fonts problem
Howdy, I've managed to get a X terminal working, but I have some problems with the fonts (I suppose). When I log on, there is no window-manager started, no problem. When I start one there are some errors concerning fonts. [ttyp0,zoef] 22:38 numatix:/home/zoef exec fvwm2 & [1] 508 [ttyp0,zoef] 22:39 numatix:/home/zoef [GetFontOrFixed]: WARNING -- can't get font -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*, trying 'fixed'[GetFontOrFixed]: WARNING -- can't get font -adobe-helvetica-b old-r-*-*-12-*, trying 'fixed'Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medi um-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct This occurs also when I start some programs. What is the problem? All the fonts available in debian are installed without problems (on both server and client). And when I start Afterstep there are also some font problems, but after that is hangs where fvwm2 goes well. When I run X localy on the server, everything goes well. How do I solve this?

AND, further to this I have settled for a solution which goes like this... keep the IP going over the eepro100 (built-in), I have a Western Digital (old-cheapo) configured with 10.0.0.1 and netatalk running on it. Even though the IP number is bogus (I guess it just needs to be there to have the interface UP) the appletalk routing seems to work fine. Thus it can be a High-performance WWW server out the eepro100 and the Macs can upload there WWW pages via the WD card---not ideal but at least I didn't have to spend any more money...

This gives me ordinary handling on local mail (internal on > the linux box) and my account name on everything that goes outside. However, when you're running on a local subnet that shares the dialup, and thus isn't "really" on the net, your box has no way of knowing whether the outgoing mail is staying on your subnet (and thus should not have its header rewritten), or if it's going to the Internet proper, and should have its From: header rewritten. HOWEVER, presumably local subnets are so small that you don't need to have DNS service to get their hostnames, and you instead store the names of the local boxes in /etc/hosts (which is what I do). Failing that, you should be able to match against local hosts using their IP number. (Local subnets not actually on the Internet shouldn't be using real IP numbers anyway, they should be using the "reserved" ones, like 10.0.0.0 or 192.168.0.0.) Is there a way to get smail to check for this, conditionally rewriting the From: header based on the result? This would give the flexibility demanded by dialup users and also permit RFC 822 compliance. I suspect someone would have to write their own "driver" for smail to do this. Is anyone up to this? -- G.

(My /etc/issue, and /etc/issue.net files all report 1.3 as well, and reported simply 1.1 and 1.2 when I ran those -- 0.93R6 didn't have any patches). This is possibly because one of the few events that causes a patch to the stable version is the discovery and patching of security holes.

You'll need to downgrade bash, use "ash" as /bin/sh, or use another

Debian Netatalk and Ethernet cards
I happily use netatalk on 3 debian machines using ethernet cards which all use the wd driver module. Today I go to set it up on a DEC XLe6180 which has a builtin Intel EtherExpress 100 card in it. The IP drivers work great at both 10 and 100 Mbps. However Netatalk just isn't happy, it can't see the appletalk network out there (well it kind-of worked once out of many tries---picked an invalid net number and could aecho some other machines...). I didn't think it was relevant which ethernet driver I was using, but eventually, after comparing with the other machines I have, it all pointed to the ethernet card and driver being the culprit! Sure enough someone tells me that appletalk won't go on any Intel cards, is this true? If so, are there any other cards people know of that I should stare clear of to?
