Re: boot/physical security?
Perhaps your /etc/lilo.conf is not putting the boot record where you want it. Do you have a line in there that says 'boot=/dev/hda' or 'boot=/dev/hda1'? The former will replace the MBR.

Re: /etc/dhcpd.conf
dpk, What works for me is to have the IP addresses all on the same line, separated by commas: option domain-name-servers XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY; Using WinIPConfig on the Win95 machines, it shows the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX as the primary nameserver and YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY as the secondary.

EXIM Help
Hello again, I am sorry to be such a pain, but I can not get exim working properly. I have tried reading all the info pages/man pages/FAQ's/archives/homepages for the last two days. I guess I am in a special class by myself. All the above all talk about ethernet/workstations/networked systems. All I have is a small system that connects to my ISP and all I want to do is get my mail. I am having to go back and forth between debian and winbloze95 to get any help. First I entered a exim.conf like the one I found in the archives. When I ran exim, it kept complaining about the lines I put in so # them out. Now when I run fetchmail I get the following: reading message 1 (2580 bytes) fetchmail: found received address 'htuttle' fetchmail: no local matches, forwarding to root fetchmail: SMTP connect to (null) failed fetchmail: POP3>QUIT Now I can send mail fine with Pine and it configured to send via my ISP. There is no problem there. And it goes there. It is that I cannot download my mail. What am I doing wrong. I am very new at this and don't know to much about setting up accounts etc. I don't know how to look at logs as I don't know which ones are available. I have looked in the log directory and about the only one I see is syslog and it doesn't say to much about exim. I only have 2 accounts that were created when I installed debian. root and htuttle. That's it. Second: I tried something else (find . -name exim.conf -print) and got the following message: EXT2-fs warning (Device 03:42): ext_free_inode: bit already cleared for inode 89435 How do I fix this or can I. Is there a chkdsk for debian? Third: How do I set my time right. When I installed debian it looked at my system clock and asked if I wanted to be on GMT and what my TZ was. I said to use GMT and that I was in CST6CDT. Now when I boot my time is wrong. When it is 1600 in my wallclock time my system says it is 1000. I use the "bash: date 03271600", but when I reboot it always goes back to the -6. I know I screwed it up, but how do I fix it with out having to do it everytime I boot up. Also by bios clock is correct for walltime. Sorry to bother everyone, but I am really confused and I don't know where to look for info.

boot/physical security?
Hi there, just a quick question. As an old slackware user, I usually have a restricted boot with a password in my lilo setup, as well as an entry for the floppy drive in my system- so, the system boots from drive c, hits lilo, and boots linux with the default parameters; if you have the password, you can boot from a floppy or give the kernel evtra parameters. the bios has a password as well. i found that this was a pretty good way to discourage some of the bootfloppy/'linux single'/script kiddie hacker-types around my school. however, with debian (bo), the actual MBR boot block allows you to boot from a different partition, or even a floppy, with no authentication at all- even worse, you access it in the same waym by holding down control during the boot. I noticed that lilo was setup to use /boot/boot.b as default, while slackware always used /boot/any_d.b - but when i tell lilo to use any_d.b (verified as being in /boot), it complains loudly about not finding my /dev/hda1 - any suggestions? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Setting up network on Hamm install
The Bo install notes say I need to know the following. I assume Hamm will need it too. I have a LAN with Linux (none yet installed) and Win'95 boxes on and will also want to connect to the 'net. Since you are on two networks (LAN + Internet), your choices will depend on whether you have two Ethernet cards in the machine. If you do have two--one hooked into the LAN, one to the Internet--then you configure the LAN card with your LAN IP address, and the Internet card with your Internet IP address. In this case, just make sure that you're consistent when you answer the prompts--use either the data from the LAN or the Internet, but not a combination. You will have to set up the second card manually later by editing /etc/init.d/network. If, OTOH, you have only Ethernet card, then you only want one IP address; this should be the Internet IP address. In this case, there's no need to add a second LAN IP address; just have the other machines on the LAN refer to this machine via its Internet IP. If you really want two IPs, then you can set up IP aliasing, but I don't know anything about that. Hope this helps. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I just installed debian1.3.1 on a new computer. I configured XFree86 and everything seems to work fine under root. But... When I log into my user account and try to launch XFree86 with "startx" command I can't get things working. I get an error: " xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions You should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm. We strongly advise against making the server SUID root! " and so the X server can't start... Apparently, the X server in /usr/X11R6/bin has permissons to read and execute for all users. I'm a quite new Unix user and I don't see where I did a mistake...

RE: a stupid idea, a stupid test
I can't comment on the tunneling but I have a similar problem with dhcp. The linux dhcpcd will give back the ip-addr on shutdown. At my site (with something like 1500 pc's, 500 printers, etc.) wins is used for the m$ desktops. My linux box did not behave like the nt systems. What I eventually did was to replace the "stop" case in /etc/init.d/dhcpc with "killall -9 dhcpcd". Unless I leave the box turned off for a long time I always get the same ip-addr back. I just can't leave it off when the lease expires on the ip-address. You can put the ip-addr in the host file and get by for a while... jim -- From: Stephen Carpenter[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 26, 1998 12:26 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Cc: The recipient's address is unknown. Subject:a stupid idea, a stupid test Ok...I got a bright idea earlier I have a linux machine at work (where we don't really have linux machines...its one of the 3 that I know of in existance on our entire network (of at least 10 000 users) ) Anyway...mine is on DHCP like most of the network and a new one which was setup is also on DHCP (mostly because im a tech and he is at the helpdesk and neither of us can justify why we need network engineering to give us static IPs) One of the Linux machines I know of has a static IP (this guy is some important doctor and I am sure I coul dget him to let me use his linux machine or one of his slowaris runnin sun stations if I asked ) Here was my idea: I want my machine and my friend at the helpdesks computer to be able to communicate (maybe even share soem NFS mounts ;) ) The problem is we are on DHCP...dynamic adressing which seems to change at least every few days My idea was ...can I setup a "virtual network" layered on top of our ethernet / TCP/IP network? My idea was to use netcat and pppd to make a ppp connection through a tcp/ip socket... then assign my own Private IP adresses (10.*) to the ends of the ppp connection then I could have the machine with the static IP as a central hub for the other 2 systems to connect too thus the other two machines could have "Static IPs" for talking to eachother ok...I know there must be a better way to do this...I think its called tunneling?? and I believe there is some kernel level support fo rit... I wanted to find a way to do it my way... the idea was this: use netcat on both systems to open the equivalent of a "pipe" and then attach pppd to it I tried this on the local machine...maybe someone can say why this setup didn't work first I made 4 named fifos's in1 out1 in2 out2 then cat in1 | nc -l -p 1555 | cat out1 cat in2 | nc 127.0.0.1 1555 | cat out2 ...both connectedand netstat showed a conenction between the two then I tried this... I cated a file into in1 then I did "cat out2" on another VT nothing came out... I would have thought the end result would have been... data in -> in1 -> nc -> tcpIP -> nc -> out2 -> data out any ideas why did didn't work (suffice it to say "pppd in1" and the same for in2 and out2 ... they didn't connect any ideas?

Re: Running X11 over a network
Hi!
Uhmm, I need to correct myself: I think removing xbase is only recommended
if you exactly know what you are doing. It contains all manpages,
documentation, the "X" wrapper, all config-files ...
And since xbase depends on xlib6 you cannot remove it, too.
Maybe someone else has a step-by-step instruction to cope without xbase...
You may still want to use the laptop's fonts (via xfs) to avoid duplicate
installation. The basic fonts do not need much space, but maybe you are
curiose enought to try to get along without xbase - and then you must get
them from a font-server.
ok, I'll try to cleanup a little:
1) set up your network (see Ben Pfaff's mail, Net-3-HOWTO)
I assume you gave your desktop the hostname "desktop" and your laptop the
hostname "laptop"
2) set up the laptop:
- install xbase, xlib6, xlib6g (if you're running hamm), xfntbase, xfnt75
- make it run xdm and xfs: Put "start-xdm" and "start-xfs" into
/etx/X11/config to start them automatically on reboot. See
/usr/doc/X11/debian.README for further information about this file. If
you want to avoid a reboot, you can start xdm / xfs manually by
executing "/etc/init.d/{xfs,xdm} start"
3) set up your desktop:
The absolute minimum package to *run* your desktop as X-terminal is:
xserver-*the Xserver you need for your graphic card
And since it simplifies the setup, provides doc, ...
xlib6if you are running hamm, you need xlib6g instead
xbase
During "comfortable" setup you additionally need
Xserver-vga16it contains XF86Setup
xfntbase
- install all above mentioned packages
- run XF86Setup to configure the xserver
- run startx to test the configuration (maybe tweak it with help of
xvidtune)
- run dselect and purge
xserver-vga16 (if you don't intend to run it)
xfntbase
- this would be the point to remove, not purge xbase. Removing keeps the
config-files (XF86Config, ...). And if you use "/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_*" as
your xserver (instead of the wrapper "/usr/X11R6/bin/X") and start it as
root you may be able to run without xbase and xlib6.
- tweak /etc/X11/XF86Config to use your laptop as fontserver:
go to
Section "Files"
and add a line
FontPath "tcp/laptop:7100"
to this Section. Maybe you need to comment out other FontPath entries. I
don't know if they mustn't exist and if they are removed automatically.
- check, that /etc/X11/config doesn't contain "start-xdm" to avoid it
starting up atomatically
- now you can start X (runnig on the laptop, displaying on the desktop)
with
X -query laptop
- since you didn't remove xbase, you should still be able to run a local
X with startx, but your laptop always needs to be reachable, since it's
fonts are required.
- you may write your own /etc/init.d/Xserver or so (take a look at
/etc/init.d/skeleton) and make the appropriate inks in /etc/rc*.d with
update-rc.d to start the Xserver automatically.

I agree to Ben Pfaff that this shouldn't be a bottleneck. I was using X on a
*heavy* loaded network and it was never much too slow.

as long as xxx is constant: yes ;-)
I would reserve at least *.1 for a possible router. I think it is very
common to use this for a router

here's how to bind bash keys
Kurt, bash uses the 'readline' library. This library supports a rebinding of keys. The library reads the file '~/.inputrc' when it starts and reads commands to rebind keys. You can read the 'readline' man page for full details. At any rate, create the file ~/.inputrc and in it put: "\e[1~": beginning-of-line "\e[3~": delete-char "\e[4~": end-of-line That should do the trick. Also, here's a small c program which will read raw bytes that you type. This is what I used to find out the above. Note that it's up to you to translate the hex bytes into the "appropriate" string. You can compile it with 'make readkb' if you save the file as readkb.c. Type 'x' to quit the program. kurt klingbeil wrote: > What I'm really dying to know, is why the Home, End, and Del keys > are not config'ed, out of the box, to do the right things in bash. > Shit, it's hard to take that doskey would out-function bash in _any_ > respects.

Re: Laptop
Well Michael I use a GW2000 Solo 2100. Of course they don't even sell this one anymore I bet even though it's barely a year old. I like gateway--I think they're a good balance between value and service. The primary worry with laptops is device support. And it does little good for me to tell you that everything in my laptop works because it seems that all manufacturers like to upgrade the components as fast as new ones are available. I think a good strategy is this: 0) go get the latest issue of "Computer Shopper", this will be your primary reference source in addition to stuff on the Internet 1) decide where you need to be on the Value vs. Confidence level, this is a matter of personal preference 2) find a couple of laptops which fall on V vs. C curve where you live and go through each and every piece of the system to find out *exactly* what's in it. now look at each component (esp. the graphics adapter and sound card) and check the kernel source, the Hardware HOWTO and also the Linux Laptop Page ( http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ ) to make sure that component is indeed supported. 3) pick one of the laptops which satisified all above requirements based on color, availability of free 2nd day air shipping, and a quick roll of the dice Good luck Michael Meskes wrote: > I'm going to buy a laptop in a month or two.

Re: Laptop
I'm using the Toshiba Satellite Pro 440CDT. Works beautifully :) Network card is a PCMCIA Xircom CE3 10/100, which there is support for in the hamm distribution. (You need the newest pcmcia-cs). Graphics chipset is Chips&Tech, which the newer XSVGA servers have, the CDROM is IDE, which makes it easy to support. I haven't setup the sound yet, but it looks like it's a Yamaha OPL3, which should work. Be careful that you don't end up with Bob's Proprietary Chipset (TM). This happened to me with the CDROM on my former machine. Tedious. There is a great page with lots of support for Toshiba laptops at "http://www.cck.uni-kl.de/misc/tecra710/";. It says Tecra, but there is Satellite stuff there too. I'm going to buy a laptop in a month or two. I'd like to know which laptop does work well with Debian.

Have you looked at the apache source? It will do something like this (that is, apache's main process will fork several different children at startup, and the children do the actual handling of the connections). If I remember correctly, apache somehow manages to have the parent process do the actual accept, and then pass it off to the child.

SLIP server & IP forwarding
Hiya, I am trying to set up a linux box as a SLIP server. I have an NT box calling in, connecting fine over the modem, and i can then ping the NT box from the linux and visa versa. However, the NT box cannot then ping any machine through the linux box on the network (the linux box has en ethernet card). Can someone tell me what i have missed, or (as i think it might possibly be) how i enable IP forwarding? Many thanks.

I know for certain that you can set up a file as your swap space. I have that written down somewhere if you really need that. You could, in theory, use a script of some sort to interrogate the file (cf: the "mem" command) and adjust the size of the file accordingly In practice, I haven't tried it and it requires 3 or so calls to sync (not sure why) which might (??) tamper with the contents of the file.

This question was asked by somebody some time ago, but I don't recall it answered.

LILO woes.
I have a non-fatal albeit annoying problem. I'm running debian 1.3 and I absolutly cannot get LILO to work properly. When the machine starts to boot the 'LI' shows up the the machine locks (have to use the reset button ctrl-alt-del doesn't work). The LILO is version 19. I'm running a Cyrix 6x86MX, with a 2.1 GB samsung (I think) HD on a Matsonic MS-5120 motherboard, which incidentally came with a really weak manual so I don't know what IDE chipset it uses... When I had RedHat 5 installed on this machine LILO 20 worked fine. My lilo.conf looks like: boot=/dev/hda1 root=/dev/hda1 compact install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal prompt timeout = 50 image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only image=/vmlinuz.old label=old read-only Any ideas?

Wow, looks like my homework. See if this makes sense:
1) accept the connection in the parent
2) fork the child
3) close the listener fd in the child and do stuff with the accept fd
4) close the accept fd in the parent and wait on the listener fd
This way you only have one thing doing the accepts and the children doing
all the data transfers. You'll also want something like a wait3 at the
end or a "signal based reaper" as my teacher calls it:
void reaper() {
while(wait3(NULL< WNOHANG, 0) > 0);
}
signal (SIGCHILD, reaper);

sound
I've found that when I user Windows95 and then boot to Linux, that /proc/interrupts shows a sound blaster under IRQ5, and that dmesg doesn't turn up any sound errors. Nothing is listed under IRQ5 when I boot directly to Linux, and dmesg shows a sound initialization problem. I have PnP disabled, so I don't know why warm booting makes a difference. Unfortunately, booting into Linux after W95 doesn't make a big enough difference to make sound work. /dev/sndstat does show an audio device (which it didn't before), but the SB MPU401 line under card config is still in parens, and cat'ing to /dev/audio, /dev/sound, and /dev/dsp, while no longer producing errors, still produce no sound. The file I cat'ed was chimes.wav in my W95 partition, which I presume should make a noise. [This is a Yamaha OPL-3SAx chip.)

My idea was to use netcat and pppd to make a ppp connection through a tcp/ip socket... then assign my own Private IP adresses (10.*) to the ends of the ppp connection then I could have the machine with the static IP as a central hub for the other 2 systems to connect too thus the other two machines could have "Static IPs" for talking to eachother ok...I know there must be a better way to do this...I think its called tunneling?? and I believe there is some kernel level support fo rit...

how to implement multiple child "accept" within one socket..
Hi friends..! I am implementing the server application which have serval child process. Like this [parent] | +--+--+---+ | | | | child1child2... The childs are forked from parent. I oberved if the each child accept the socket simultaneous, then the "accept" failed.. Then I use the semophore to prevent simultaneous acception between child processes. Is there other efficient method?

Any suggestions will be > greatly appreciated. The fips utility (ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/tools/fips15.zip) can repartition your hard drive (this may also be on your CD). The commercial program Partition Magic is a bit easier to use and also includes a copy of the OS/2 Boot Manager, for choosing which OS to boot, although LILO, which is included with Debian can be configured to do this also. If you have a FAT32 (OSR2) version of Windows 95, Partition Magic is probably your best bet. Of course, a backup of your system is always recommended before repartitioning.

Would this be an integrated function of REXX > or > just indicative that a person could 'roll their own" with REXX? > > Any thoughts on the above would be appreciated.:-) Whirlwind lecture follows (feel free to correct me, I lost my textbook): In computer science, regular expressions are at the heart of formal languages. Languages can be described by grammars, regular expressions, or recognizers. Each is equivalent to the other two: if you have a regular expression, you can construct a grammar or recognizer, etc. Grammar: a set of rules for generating a string. Eg: if you have an A, you can replace it with AA. Regular expression: Eg: A* the `*' is a Kleine star and means you may have zero or one or more of the preceding regular expressions (in this case A). Recognizer: this would be a machine (ie, software) that takes any string and returns a yes or no answer to the question "is this string a member of the language of all strings of As?" In each of the three above cases, the language used is the language of all strings with only As: A, AA, AAA, ... Having three ways to describe that language is useful. With study you learn that languages can be grouped into classes depending on their "power." For instance, simple languages can be recognized by simpler machines than more complex languages. Regular languages are of course easier to deal with than non-regular languages. You can transform common problems into languages, and vice versa. Since they fall into language classes, that is how we say one problem is "harder" than another: it requires a fundamentally more powerful machine to solve (recognize) it. For instance, you can solve more problems with two stacks than with one, but having two tapes gives you no more power than one. This notion has been formalized as the language sets NP-HARD and NP-COMPLETE, and P. We theorize that P=NP but have yet to prove or disprove it. These are just statements about the theoretical maximum "hardness" of problems. We also theorize that tape (Turing) machines are the most powerful, and can recognize the hardest languages to recognize (I forget which... context-sensitive?). Anyways, the important point is that when you use a regular expression in grep, it transforms it into a little machine (code) that it runs on every line to see whether that line is in the "language" of strings you are searching for.

Partitions
To Whom it May Concern, I have just purchased the book/software for Debian Linux from Cheap Bytes. I was wondering if I have to kill Windows 95/NT to partition the hard drive. Is there a partitioning software package that you can suggest that will partition "around" the existing software? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
