Why does bash follow symlinks only sometimes?
My root partition is just 100 MB or so, just enough to host my 13 GB RAID-0 array of 3 UW SCSI disks, which is mounted at /raid. /usr, /home, and so on are symlinks into /raid, like this: drwxr-xr-x bin drwxrwsr-x boot drwxrwsr-x cdrom lrwxrwxrwx debian -> mirror/debian/hamm/hamm/binary drwxr-xr-x dev drwxr-xr-x etc drwxrwsr-x floppy lrwxrwxrwx home -> raid/home drwxr-xr-x initrd drwxr-xr-x lib drwxr-xr-x lost+found lrwxrwxrwx mirror -> raid/mirror drwxr-xr-x mnt dr-xr-xr-x proc drwxr-xr-x raid lrwxrwxrwx root -> raid/root drwxr-xr-x sbin drwxr-xr-x syjet lrwxrwxrwx tmp -> raid/tmp lrwxrwxrwx usr -> raid/usr lrwxrwxrwx var -> raid/var lrwxrwxrwx vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.0.32 lrwxrwxrwx vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-2.0.31 (Some columns omitted for legibility on 80-column displays.)

ICQ -- Multi-User Installation
With some trial and error, I've been able to setup ICQ for multiple users under Debian. The idea was to give each user an ~/.icq directory where she can keep her personal configuration. In my experience, if you use the installation directions which come with the program, things will not work like you might expect. What I did to get it working properly: 1) Install the Debian JDK. 2) Download the ICQ tar ball (http://www.icq.com/) AS ROOT DO THE FOLLOWING: 3) cd /usr/local 4) tar -xzvf icqtarball.tgz 5) chown -R root.root ICQJava 6) cd /usr/local/ICQJava 7) Edit "install" and change the following: 1) uncomment JAVA_HOME 2) JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jdk1.1 3) ICQ_HOME = /usr/local/ICQJava 8) ./install Note: This will create the file /usr/local/ICQJava/ICQ which is the script you will want to run after making a few more modifications. 9) Edit the "ICQ" file in (8) above by replacing the "-path" parameter with "-path $HOME/.icq" . This will tell ICQ to use the ~/.icq directory for all of its needs -- including the user's personal configuration. This is and step 10 are the critical changes. AS THE USER DO THE FOLLOWING: 10) Now, you need to create the ~/.icq directory for each user: 1) mkdir ~/.icq 2) cd ~/.icq 3) mkdir conf 4) chmod 700 conf 5) ln -s /usr/local/ICQJava/Images 6) ln -s /usr/local/ICQJava/Sounds AS ROOT DO THE FOLLOWING: 11) cd /usr/local/bin 12) ln -s ../ICQJava/ICQ icq AS THE USER DO THE FOLLOWING: 13) run using "icq" -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: how do I kill samba?
Paul Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: : how do I kill samba when it is loaded from inetd? .. smbd doesn't even : appear on ps -aux unless a service is being used. As a couple of Debian fellows already said, if ps -ax does not show any nmbd or smbd processes then Samba is not running. However, since it is running from inetd, traffic in UDP ports 137-139 is being listened to (by inetd) and any traffic in these ports will trigger nmbd or smbd (depending on the port). If there are any process running, you can kill them as usual with kill. However, my experience tells me that as soon as you kill nmbd another nmbd process will be initiated by inetd because traffic will trigger that. So, you will always have a nmbd running, unless you unplug your Samba server from the network or shutdown all machines (other Samba servers or any Windows box) that broadcast NetBIOS stuff. If you don't want to have any nmbd or smbd processes at all, disable the corresponding lines in /etc/inetd.conf and kill -HUP the inetd process. New releases of the Samba package (that I started to maintain) will have as an option to run Samba from inetd or as daemons. When run as daemons it is easier to shut down Samba, just do "/etc/init.d/samba stop". See ya! E.- -- Eloy A.

You've kind of answered your own question. smbd doesn't show up on a ps listing because it is only run when needed, and not all the time as a daemon.

For all intents and purposes, yes. It's ina full tower case, so the silly little fand that cames with ti slides down about 1/5 the chip before catching on the socket. With just that fan (which is close to "without"), it ran fine at 2.5x66=166, including compiling the kernel. And it would run at 2x83 without a problem. Adding heat sink compound and a fan in the lower case, along with a cassette case to prop the fan to cover the whole chip, and it's happy at 2.5x83 = 210. However, if i close the case, it sig11's a while into kernel compiles (and when I remove that side of the case, i can feel the extra heat.) I have another fan waiting to install in the upper case, though i'm toying with mouting it between the upper & lower, or using cardboard to force the airpat teo the bottom. (or a 3d fan when i get a chance to pick one up, to do both). IO'm also toyin with reversing the flow on the lower fan to blow out instead of in, as the heat buildup is noticable. And I'm planning on getting a hard-core fan for the cpu, but before i figured that out, one morning ULN was offering the 166 for $99, and i snapped it up before they changed their mind (the next day, i think). > Mind you I think my Quantum HD runs hotter than the CPU.

In the directory tree /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc there is a README file for cirrus cards. It tells you to look at the card, and see if pins 25-27 are blank on upper side of the card. If these pins are blank (which they are on my card), you can't use 'linear' mode. The point is, the card only knows about 16MByte adressing space, so you are unable to tell the card to map the graphics ram outside the computers memory. So, the card will map it's memory inside the 16MByte range, which conflicts with the other memory... bummer. To be able to use 16bpp, you must therefore use maximum 800x600 resolution and disable linear mode... here is a copy of the "Device" for the cirrus card in my XF86Config file Section "Device" Identifier "Cirrus Alpaline" VendorName "Cirrus Logic" BoardName "VLB CL-5428" Chipset "clgd5428" VideoRam1024 #MemBase0x0200 Clocks 25.23 28.32 41.16 36.08 31.50 39.99 45.08 49.87 Clocks 64.98 72.16 75.00 80.01 85.23 EndSection Hope that helps... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

AWE64 Setup Solution...
To those trying to get their AWE64 working: 1) Since the 64 is pnp, the card must be initiallized before the kernel tries to initialize the driver. This means you must use something like isapnp to initialize the card and you must build the sound driver as a _module_ so that you can initialize the card BEFORE loading the driver 2) The dump from isapnp does not fully detect everything you need in you isapnp.conf file. Try modifying my config file. Most important is the IO 1 and IO 2 lines at the end. They are not detected by pnpdump. This will allow the kernel to detect the AWE -- # $Id: pnpdump.c,v 1.1.1.1 1997/09/14 15:27:30 fred Exp $ # This is free software, see the sources for details. # This software has NO WARRANTY, use at your OWN RISK # # For details of this file format, see isapnp.conf(5) # # For latest information on isapnp and pnpdump see: # http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/ # # Compiler flags: # # Trying port address 0203 # Board 1 has serial identifier 62 11 36 59 a4 c3 00 8c 0e #(DEBUG) (VERIFYLD N) (READPORT 0x0203) (ISOLATE) #(IDENTIFY *) # Card 1: (serial identifier 62 11 36 59 a4 c3 00 8c 0e) # CTL00c3 Serial No 288774564 [checksum 62] # Version 1.0, Vendor version 1.0 # ANSI string -->Creative SB AWE64 PnP<-- # Vendor defined tag: 73 02 45 00 # (CONFIGURE CTL00c3/288774564 (LD 0 # ANSI string -->Audio<-- (INT 0 (IRQ 9 (MODE +E))) (DMA 0 (CHANNEL 1)) (DMA 1 (CHANNEL 5)) (IO 0 (BASE 0x0220)) (IO 1 (BASE 0x0330)) (IO 2 (BASE 0x0388)) (ACT Y) )) (CONFIGURE CTL00c3/288774564 (LD 1 # Compatible device id PNPb02f # ANSI string -->Game<-- (IO 0 (BASE 0x0200)) (ACT Y) )) (CONFIGURE CTL00c3/288774564 (LD 2 # ANSI string -->WaveTable<-- (IO 0 (BASE 0x0620)) (IO 1 (BASE 0x0A20)) (IO 2 (BASE 0x0E20)) (ACT Y) )) (WAITFORKEY) -- -- Graduate Student[EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Chemistry [EMAIL PROTECTED] Univ of Wisconsin-Madison [EMAIL PROTECTED] New Opcode #8: IPX - Increase Power and eXplode -- tagline 1.00 by xopy -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Bogomips halved!
Hi, I am using a 200MHz K6, which I now overclocked at 233 MHz. After having done that, I checked the bogomips number, and I discovered in /var/log/messages that, after having been at 400 since ever (as expected, for a K6), it had dropped at 200 in the latest reboot and, after having overclocked it, went at 233. If I run the bogomips program, it gives 466, but /proc/cpuinfo still contains 233. How can it be? Could that be a source of problems for timings inside the kernel?

If I copy a (e.g. too long) filename to a DOS partition with the normal Linux cp command, it just truncates it - which is exactly what should happen if the partition is not mounted as vfat. This also should be possible with mtools. Even if I copy the file "pietje", with mtools I still get a long filename directory entry, because it is not in uppercase. This is annoying - I don't want to have to type all filenames that should go on a DOS partition in uppercase, and truncate them by hand, and I also don't feel like creating wrapper scripts around all mtools commands.

AWE 64 Troubles despite following FAQ
I recently purchased an AWE 64 Value and have been pulling my hair out trying to get it to work properly on my Debian system. I have read through Sound-HOWTO as well as the fine "Soundblaster AWE 32/64 HOWTO" by Marcus Brinkman. However, despite all my efforts I am still not able to get the WaveTable portion of the card to be recognized by the sound driver. Here's what I get when I try installing the sound module: xwing# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf Board 1 has Identity 3f 1f 5e 91 4e e4 00 8c 0e: CTL00e4 Serial No 526291278 [checksum 3f] xwing# modprobe -a sound trace_init=1 Sound initialization started at 0x220 irq 5 dma 1,5 at 0x330 irq 5 dma 0 at 0x388 Sound initialization complete AWE32 not found AWE32: not detected For some reason, the driver cannot detect the AWE32 portion of the card, which I'm assuming is the WaveTable portion.

I had three harddisks, and one CD-ROM... then I added one harddisk, and removed one of the olders to fit it in. The new hard disk was thus the third in the line /dev/hdc1. Originally, I had my root partition on hda1, then I moved over to hdb2 :-) and finally over to hdc1. LILO was able to boot on other partitions, out of the original configuration. However, after recalibrating the drive, it no longer was able to. Since, I just took out /dev/hda1 and put the disk on /dev/hdc onto the first controller, as the first harddisk. And made the entries in /etc/fstab point to the new destination of the disk. Now LILO is able to boot from that disk, without any difficulties. The message I wrote on here about what LILO said: lilo: disk device 0x82 may not be accessible This is not the disk type, as I thought. But the disk drive number, which means that hda is 0x80, hdb is 0x81 and hdc is 0x82. Lilo was thus unable to boot hdc1, even though it had been able to before.

Re: 10/100Base-T Questiones
I have an SMC ethernet card with this chipset. Mine autosenses, with a catch: The linux driver settings defaults to 10baseT. So when I load the driver on a 100mb line, it will only change (autosense) once I send out some type of network traffic. So in my /etc/init.d/network I have it ping the gateway once, just so it will switch... because one time I rebooted my machine remotely from home, and then could not connect to my machine at work!

I don't think there was anything all that major as far as architecture goes, except for the addition of MMX extensions. The 1/2 processor speed cache allowed them to go faster than 200MHz -- the sychronous on-chip cache of the Pro was stopping it going any faster because of the expense of 233+MHz SRAM. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

hi, Thanks all for all the kind help for my last question. Since I am new to debian system, I still have some question in having it work properly.

I almost detect a bit of the recently passed controversy over the Linux patent dispute. Linux is an will remain a free operating system with ultimate power resting in the hands of its users and no one person alone. This post is hooey. It's also not that humourous, so I imagine someone created it just to get a rise out of Linux users.

Somehow my Win95 machine just feels... closer to me now. -- AAP Worldwide Wire Service11/21/97 06:00 GMT (Hirchsrgig, MS)-The computer world has been shaken to its core by a legal decision that has immense implications worldwide. In a ruling that is certain to become a hotbed of controversy, a US Federal Judge in Hirchsrgig Mississippi ruled that Microsoft legally holds all rights to the "Linux" operating system. Judge Richard Shortner, in an opinion handed down today, ruled that the Linux operating system is not "free software," and that the "GNU Public License" is not legally binding, thus giving final legal approval to the US Patent Office's conditional approval of Microsoft's patent application. Attorneys for the Free Software Foundation, Inc., a Boston-based foundation, were outraged. "This is a travesty of justice. I absolutely guarantee that we will win this one on appeal" said attorney Lou Zurr. "Well, anyway, I'm pretty sure of it." The appeal, however, may take some time to construct. Before an appeal will be considered by the court, most copies of Linux currently in use must be properly registered through Microsoft. Industry analysts expect that many Linux users will simply disregard this ruling, a move which will delay the appeal process. "This court order allows law enforcement to take the necessary actions to ensure compliance. If we don't have 800,000 license applications within 90 days, the story is over" said Microsoft attorney Michael Aronoff. Microsoft's legal team consisted of some sixteen attorneys, who presented the case in about 90 minutes. Legal experts were surprised by the ruling, though most say it's technically a correct ruling. "Some of the language used in the GNU Public License is clearly without legal standing" advises Harvard Law School Professor Solemon Hann. "The foundation just never expected to go up against the big legal guns of Microsoft. This is going to be interesting..." Bill Gates, cult-hero, cultural icon, President and CEO of Microsoft, held a news conference from his vacation ski-lodge Winter home near Vail, Colorado. His tone was one of reassurance to the many users of Linux. "Look, I'm not out to take away anyone's hard work. But it's ours legally. And we're keeping the license fee to a very reasonable $30 per machine. The registration process will be easy, but we do require a credit card" advised Mr. Gates, who asked reporters to call him Bill. "We're going to build the registration into a free Linux version of Internet Explorer 4.0 for everyone's convenience." -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Netscape Comm. 4.03
First off, I use netscape 4.03 on my machine without problems (well, it's huge and sucks away cpu, but...). Questions: 1) Did you install netscape with the debian netscape4 package? 2) How many bits per pixel in your X server running at? The wierd background color changes are probably a sign that your server has fewer colors available than netscape wants, and so netscape is trying to cope by switching color maps. 3) What (if anything) is the value of your MOZILLA_HOME environment variable? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

It says "route unknown" or something like that when I try it. > A fellow math. grad. student! This problem sounds suspiciously like it could still be left over routes from your ethernet card - what does '/sbin/route' (no arguments) say? If it still has any routes listed as going through device eth0, delete them (with 'route del ') and try your telneting again. (Though why it says 'route unknown' with this problem puzzles me, but...) If you're only connected via ppp, the only devices you should see for the routes are 'ppp0' and 'lo'. Does anyone out on the list know which startup file it is that sets the initial network routes? (Since I've never had anything but ppp, I never found out) You might consider seeing if routes are being set up for your ethernet card at boottime, and disabling them, at least until such time as you are in an environment where you can use your card again. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Install Prob
Ok here's what I do: I have made Disks of most (all of the ones I need) off of the Debian site. So I stick in the rescue disk reset and boom it (the install prog) starts. When I try to partition my HD it doesn't dectect my HD it detects my IDE ZIP drive? If I don't have a disk in my ZIP drive then it (the install prog) will not work. Any Ideas?
