Use this way:
install super.deb
check /etc/login.defs for
CONSOLE_GROUPS floppy:audio:cdrom:dialout:dip:dosdisks
^^
Hmm, this only works for console logins. So better add the local users who
should be able to mount the floppy to the folppy group in /etc/group
and check /dev/fd0 for
$ ls -l /dev/fd0
brw-rw 1 root floppy 2, 0 Apr 14 1997 /dev/fd0
insert into /etc/super.tab
fon /usr/local/bin/fon :floppy uid=root
foff /usr/local/bin/foff:floppy uid=root
Here are the scripts that allow the actuall mount:
cat /usr/local/bin/fon
#!/bin/sh
prog=`basename $0`
# If script invoked w/o super, then exec super to run this script.
test "X$SUPERCMD" = "X$prog" || exec /usr/bin/super $prog ${1+"$@"}
mount -o rw,nodev,noexec,uid=0,gid=25,umask=007,quiet -t vfat /dev/fd0
/floppy && echo Floppy gemountet unter /mnt/a
cat /usr/local/bin/foff
#!/bin/sh
prog=`basename $0`
# If script invoked w/o super, then exec super to run this script.
test "X$SUPERCMD" = "X$prog" || exec /usr/bin/super $prog ${1+"$@"}
umount /floppy && echo Floppy unmounted
Now, if you also want to mount a xiafs floppy, simply create copies of
these scripts and change the "-t fstype" expression.
Ciao,
Martin

Little endian vs. Big endian -- problems untarring a Solaris tape in Linux
Hi. We're having a problem un-tarring a tar tape in Linux that was made under Solaris. I recall having the exact same problem when I tried to untar a Solaris tape on an SGI. The problem was that one machine used "little-endian" representations for numbers on the tape, while the other used "big-endian". The solution on the SGI was to use a special device (i.e. /dev/?) that allowed the tape to be read the tape properly. The current tape device we are using is "/dev/st0". Is there a device on Linux that will read different-endian tapes. I notice /dev/st0a, /dev/st0l, and /dev/st0m -- should I try these? Do I need to make a new device file with mknod?

As mentioned by someone undoubtedly more knowledgable than myself, pine
doesn't deliver mail from your remote server to your local box. I'm
not familiar with getting your static ip host to deliver your mail, but
if you can do that, go for it. You have many alternatives, even if use
pine.
Up until last week, I used pine remotely (via dynamic ip unix shell
account telnet session). Now I use fetchmail as a Mail Transport
Agent(to get my mail from my isp's mailspool to my box), procmail to
deliver my mail locally and filter my mail into individual exmh (my
mail program) folders (filtering is very sweet, pretty easy to
implement).
While I have sendmail for outgoing messages, it is not used for local
delivery (although i could set that up). The reason sendmail doesn't
handle local delivery is that it's a bitch to configure, while procmail
is a comparative walk in the park. By using procmail for local message
delivery, I make a small tradeoff in the rate of message delivery to
exmh folders, but I usually can't read faster than procmail can deliver
(exception: spam and the messages my isp sends to tell me I've exceeded
my soft time limit :-).
Here are a couple links I used to help me configure that stuff last
week:
http://www.math.jhu.edu/~martind/mybox.html
http://www.mindspring.com/~stk3/linux/ppp/

Re: Anti-relaying rules for smail?
In addition to the steps already mentioned to stop relaying (I use sendmail, so I don't have a clue here...), you might want to do a couple things: -use ipfwadm to stop his host even touching your port 25. -here's the fun part: invoice him for the cost of bandwidth, processor cycles, diskspace and your time. When he doesn't pay, turn over the invoice to a debt collection agency. They'll pay you a proportion of the debt, and then harass him for years and probably damage his credit rating. A**holes of this caliber deserve medieval treatment of this kind. Thomas.

HP printer and printcap (cont.)
Thanks very much for your help. I am using magicfilter and from what I heard in the list, people think it might be slightly better, it has worked for my bubblejet anyway. In the last few minutes I managed to print dvi files by using the dvihp command. However the most important thing for me is to print ps files. Does anyone know of a utility that turns ps files to pcl ?? It seems likely that the ljet4l-filter that comes with magicfilter is not dealing very well with any file type apart from test files for which it removes the staircase effect and now pcl files.

You must comment out the line in /etc/inetd.conf which starts smbd. inetd is listening on this port. Back to your original question of how you could kill samba, I'm wondering what your real intent is. Is your contention that "no file/print service is being used, so why is this smbd process around?" The answer there is: win95 likes to keep connections around. Is your contention "hey, I don't want to be offering samba shares to the internet!" You can use the "interfaces" option to smbd.conf to change what IP interface smbd will listen on. Then you just have to worry about IP spoofing. If you just want to get rid of samba, look for all the lines in /etc/inetd.conf which start with "netbios-" and comment/remove them. Then type 'killall -HUP inetd'. No need to reboot. -- Jens B.

As mentioned by other people, you may wish to not use IMAP at all. If you
do, though, you might try "{mail.cardina.net}inbox". If this doesn't
work, then I don't know.

This is probably a result of configuring your smail using the "satellite"
option. Re-run smailconfig and configure your site with the "internet
host" option or with whatever option allows only the local delivery of
mail to avoid this. You could then create a ~jeremy/.forward file to
forward mail to your ISP, so that you'd read it along with all your other
mail. (though the .forward wouldn't work if you only allow local delivery
of mail)
Alternatively, you could have pine use the default inbox, and then add
your ISP's imap stuff as another "collection" - in the config. menus
there's some option that talks about mail collections - add one called
"{mail.cardina.net}[]". However, the .forward option mentioned above is
probably a better idea, unless you have some reason to want to disable
outgoing mail by other users on your machine.
As mentioned by others though, why do this to yourself? Use fetchmail
combined with pine looking only locally unless you have a real reason to
store mail on your ISP's machine.

I don't know how far you have configured things, but:
Pine is only a mailreader, it needs a mail transport and delivery system,
(though with pine you can actually read mail while keeping it on a remote
server.)
Since you have static ip, you'll want to setup the underlying MTA and then
configure pine to use that. With static ip, you can easily get it
configured with the installation scripts.
(It is worth to mention fetchmail here. If you can't get your ISP to
spool SMTP mail when you're offline and to send the batch when you
connect (but you should try to get them to do that for you,) then you can
use fetchmail to pull mail from an inbox on the ISP's server and give it
to your local MTA. In fact, I think you can let fetchmail do much of the
MTA work and if you are prepared to do without local mail and can send
mail to an SMTP-relaying server, then you could even do without an MTA.
But it is non-standard (read: harder) to do. Since you already have a
fixed ip, go for the MTA.)
Pine then configures and works out of the box, presuming that it can rely
on a well-configured local MTA.
If you want to use pine while bypassing a local MTA (and it is in fact
possible, but you don't want it) then you must configure it to use your
provider's IMAP services. But is is harder to do than just hitting enter
6 times when smail is configured and another 4 times when pine is.
First try it the simple way and then try to do acrobatics.
Cheers,
Joost

I was having an unexplained modem hangup that occurred as a result of exiting out too early - I assumed tha ppp would start up right away after giving the password, but this wasn't the case. Also, then, my connect script wouldn't work because it was based on my mistaken belief and so was too short. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

And, like i stated, i do like debian a lot. The points i failed to make were, that you can use pcmcia only *after* you've installed (the base system), which requires at least seven floppies and some hand work, and how much more i liked the redhat pcmcia install: get two floppies, "boot.img" and "supp.img"; boot the "boot" floppy: do you have a color monitor y/n? n what keyboard do you use? dvorak (!) do you need pcmcia y/n? y please insert supplementary floppy. ...initialising pcmcia ...found network card ...initialising network card what install method do you want to use?

Now i know this is not too smart, and i know the solution, but i guess this is how most people will go about it.

I don't know if this is your problem, but I got the same error installing 1.3.1 on a machine because I'd incorrectly specified where the CD drive was; I thought it was /dev/hdb when it's really /dev/hdc.

Soundblaster 16 PnP: Newbie Installation Success! (sort of)
I am a newbie who was trying to install Debian from a CD-ROM that was attached to a Soundblaster 16 PnP card. The problem: when I ran dselect, I could never give it an answer to "block device name" that would find my CD-ROM, so I was unable to get information off of the CD. My solution: - I opened the computer case. - I found the cable connecting the CD-ROM drive to the Soundblaster card. - I disconnected the cable from the card and connected it to one of the IDE interfaces on my motherboard (on my old motherboard, I suppose I would have connected it to the hard drive controller card). - (I did some minor tinkering with the BIOS, but I don't think it was necessary.) - (I checked to make sure that Windows 95 was still working properly with this set up; it was.) - I reinstalled the Debian base system on my hard drive. - When I ran dselect, and it asked for block device name, I entered: /dev/hdb (failure) /dev/hdc (failure) /dev/hdd (SUCCESS!) I now have the default Debian installation on my hard disk. I realize that this was a clumsy, inelegant, klugy solution, and that the Debian wizards (among whom I hope to be someday) will probably have a good laugh about it, but it did work for me, and it might work for some of the other newbies who have their CD-ROM attached to a Soundblaster PnP. If all else fails, give it a try. Obviously, I cannot play audio CD-ROMs with this set up, but I would rather install and play with Debian GNU Linux than to play CDs on my computer. I hope this helps some other frustrated newbies out there. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Debian supports ftp and nfs installation methods and easily supports pcmcia stuff I've installed it on several laptops and found it quite easy to install via pcmcia ethernet card. I suggest going about it this way: - install the base system from the floppy images - copy (with another handy floppy) the pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules packages to your laptop - Install them with `dpkg --install pcmcia-cs_.deb' and `dpkg --install pcmcia-modules_.deb' - edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts to match your network configuration. - use dselect to finish the installation, either using an nfs mounted volume of ftp.

I had precisely the same problem. What I did was do a
dpkg --extract tetex-base
Then, I entered the directory /etc/texmf, and renamed all the files
there from '*.dpkg-new' removing the '.dpkg-new' part. Then, I
configured the package and installed rest of tetex.
Tetex-base seems to remove these files under configuration, instead
of installing them. Which causes the rest of tetex to break.
Hope tht helps.

Question: X on Vobis LeBook Premium
Hello, I recently purchased a notebook (166MHz, Vobis LeBook Premium). After a bit of fiddling with the partitions installed I managed to install Linux (Debian 1.3.1). However, I'm having problems with configuring X (using xbase-configure). As far as I can tell (info coming from Win95 Display Settings), I have the following: Chip type: Trident 9660/9680 (Win95 reports this but a chip tester from the Trident webpages says it's a Cyber96xx). SVGA Non-interlaced/800x600/60Hz I've also seen that there's a link on the linux laptop page, but have not been able to get near it (dead url?). I've tried quite a few combinations of the various setting, but none of them seem to be even approximately correct ... Any suggestions ?

To make a debian package you have to compile tkrat. Tkrat needs a libc
for some of its functions. So it has to link against it.
Most developers have libc6-dev, so the resulting packages need libc6 for
running.
You can get the tkrat source from the source/ directory of your debian
mirror and try to make a package for your own, linked against libc5.
get dpkg-dev.deb from hamm.
get tkrat.{dsc,diff.gz,orig.tar.gz} from the source directory
dpkg-source -x tkrat.dsc
CD into the sourcedir.
./debian/rules binary
Let it work and hope there are no changes which make it compile only with
libc6.
If it worked:
dpkg -i tkrat.deb
Ciao,
Martin

Problem with keyboard
Dear Friends, it happened to me to use Polish as my native language. In general we use Latin alphabet plus some unique letters (the same do the German and French). It seemed to me during configuration I set my keyboard to support Polish signs: Xkbkeycodes "xfree86" XkbTypes"default" XkbCompat "default" XkbSymbols "en_US(pc101)+pl" however it doesn't work. For example appart from 'a' we have a letter called (even in English documentation) 'a ogonek' (a with a small tail). It should be evoked by pressing 'a' together with right Alt. I ran xkeycaps and saw, that a+right Alt is bound to 'a ogonek', but when I press it (in terminal window or now in Netscape mail editor) there is no reaction. Just nothing!

pcmcia install
Hi I've installed debian for the first time on a new machine, and i like it al lot (except maybe for the deselect interface :^). Now i wanted to install it on my notebook at home; the easiest way would be via my pcmcia network card and nfs; or otherwise via zip drive. But i guess debian doesn't do either (i guess i could try to install debian base from floppies --- duh), while redhat easily supports pcmcia stuff. Who should i bother about this? Otoh, it should be real easy to support (just compile the pcmcia-cs package; install modules and run cardmgr), so perhaps i could have a go at it myself --- create a pcmcia install disk, how can i find the package that creates debian install images? greetings, jan.

"No rewind" refers to the omission of the default
automatic rewind on device close. The MTREW or MTOFFL
ioctl()'s can be used to rewind the tape regardless of
the device used to access it.
I can't find any documentation that explains (comprehensibly) what the
modes are. I believe that l = low density and m = medium density; I have
no idea what a is. It may be that the tape hardware may not support
the use of these other modes. I have not tried to use any but the
default (minor number = {0,128}) with my DDS drive.

libproc.so problems
Hi, To begin, I'm a newbie to Linux and this is not the first time I've inquired about this problem. Simply put, from the time I installed Debian I got the following message; 'ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libproc.so (no such file or directory), skipping' The file is there but whenever I do an 'ldconfig' I get a 'can't open, no such file or directory'. Whenever I try to 'ldconfig' on another library file I get the same message even though I'm not doing 'ldconfig' on 'libproc.so'. I'm at a loss as to what this is all about. I've exhausted all other resources. Everything else seems to be okay, as far as one so new to this can determine. Could I get some input on this, please?

HELP: CD install of 1.3.1 with Panasonic 24x
I am trying to install Debian 1.3.1 from CheapBytes disk on a new computer (and a newbie at Linux) which has a Matshita (Panasonic) CR-585 24x CDRom. At the point in the install where it tries to access the CDRom, it halts with the error message: mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device. The CDrom was not mounted successfully. I built the rescue and drivers disks, and installed as many relevant drivers as I could to postpone going to the CD for as long as possible. My first attempt, to use the harddisk as suggested in Dale Sheetz's book also did not work. At the point where you select the partition where Debian Archive resides, it presented me with only one option in the list: /dev/hda1, which is my Win95 partition, and halted a little further on. Any help would be much appreciated. Albert Hurd ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Well, I have a solution; however, be warned that I haven't tested this,
so...:
At the top of your /etc/smail/routers file, add:
match_relaying:
driver=queryprogram,
transport=relay_trns;
cmd="/usr/bin/test X${if origin:remote f} = Xf"
Then, in your /etc/smail/transports file, add:
relay_trns:
driver=appendfile; file=/dev/null
This will then throw away all of the relayed messages.
You may also want to add the 'rfc931' option to whatever /etc/hosts.allow
line it is that accepts smtp connections. Not that the spammer is likely
to be running an identd, but just in case...

Also, since you have disabled PnP in your BIOS, you need to use isapnptools to configure the modem under Linux. Although you have turned off PnP in the BIOS, Win95 will still use PnP to configure the modem. Or jumper the modem as non-PnP if that's possible; might be more convenient.

TkRat 1.0.5-1 and packages in general
One of the required dependencies for the program tkrat_1.0.5-1.deb is the much mentioned libc6.

Re: cu connects to PnP modem ok, but no response for AT
In the BIOS, I turn the 'PnP OS' option off. In the 'PCI peripherals' section of the BIOS, I disable the two 'Onboard serial devices' (as these two 9-pin ports are currently unused). When I look into Win95, I look at the settings for my modem and find that IRQ 4 is used for address 0x3f8, with DMAs 7, 5 active. Then, I go to Linux, set up the same for /dev/ttyS1 through 'setserial' and the 'isapnp' tools. When I use 'cu' to connect to the modem, I go to another xterm and type 'cat /proc/interrupts' to see what's going on with IRQ 4. Well, IRQ 4 fires off exactly 0 times, according to /proc/interrupts. Moreover, the modem never responds to ATE1 or anything else. I'm really at my wit's end on this one. But other people with PnP modems are reporting working setups. Sigh.

What I would want is a filter that blocks any attempt of sending an e-mail from another host to a user at a third host. I beleive this is called relaying. The filter should look at the 'rcpt to:' smtp command, not at the 'From:' or 'To:' headers. I know this can be done with sendmail, but how do I do it with smail?

The disk, floppy and cdrom devices (I mean the /dev/* files for them) have permissions 0660 on a default Debian system, so that normal users can't access them. The solution to this is _not_ to make the permissions 0666, but to make the user a member of the group that owns the device, i.e. # adduser user1 floppy if you want the user with username 'user1' to be able to access the floppy devices.

You have to tell the server to use the font server at port 7100 at the localhost (if you haven't changed the default port number). Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config . In the section "Files", add a line FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100" and remove all other "FontPath" lines (or place a comment character (#) in front of them).
