Take a look at http://slashdot.org for a page that looks great, has cool graphics, tables and all that, yet still works very well in lynx. Keeping lynx compatibility is trivial. Also, I am in the camp who would love to see an updated Debian home page. Same emphasis on content, but with a more consistent look and fell and some cooler graphics.

XDM with Debian 1.3E6
Hi guys, I have returned to the list, had to get my processor fixed. Anyway, I am running Debian 1.3R6 and I want to have an XDM setup so I can remotely use my resources and afterstep setup rather than another computer's limited resources and "crappy" windows manager. (afterstep doesn't seem to install on their side very easily). I am using typical run levels... run level 2, goes to terminal mode. I run "xdm"... and one time... i ran it with some arguments and I got it to go to the xdm login screen... where I got stuck. Now, I remotely login through a computer with xdm, and I see my xdm login screen again but this is the "stuck part." Everytime I try to login with a valid user account, it says, login failed. I have a .xsession in the users' home dir. I added the *.domain.name in the Xaccess part. I am guessing my xdm-config is setup improperly for authentification. I added DisplayManager*authenticate: true and a few other things... still no go. And... I cannot get xdm to start up locally so I can test it easier. Even when I did get it running locally, still get that "login failed" even with valid user logins (telnets works fine). Thanks in advance guys!

[OFF TOPIC] scripting help
I'm trying to write a script to retrive a file listed in a text file, $1.
The text can contain multiple file locations, if the first location fails,
then it should try the next location, and so forth. I've included a
sample file below.
--- sample file ---
Version 1.0
url smb://164.67.106.190:VIVI/C/WINDOWS/HELP/CLOSEWIN.AVI

alternate url smb://128.253.175.163:SAVALLI/C/WINDOWS/HELP/CLOSEWIN.AVI
--- EOF --
Here is exactly what the script must do: ($1 = text file/list)
1) read line 1 of $1 (version) and print it to stdout
loop until successful or all URLs fail {
a) read line n of $1
b) identify url type (ftp, http, smb, etc.)
c) execute appropiate sub routine for url type
}
2) print results message (successful or failure and reason)
3) terminate
smb sub routine {
a) identify ip address
b) identify host name
c) identify share
d) identify location of file
e) identify file name
f) execute subclient and retrive file
smbclient "//$host/$share" -N -I "$ip" << !
lcd "$local_download_path"
cd "$dir"
get "$file"
exit
!
g) print error message if any (file not found, unable to contact host,
etc.)
h) return to main loop.
}
.. the other sub routines I can figure out from the smb routine.
My problem is how to read the lines and sort of the variables.. Right
now, I'm trying to write this script in a bash shell script--I can't
program yet. I wouldn't mind using perl though.
Many thanks in advance,
-Paul

Hi Daniel ! I have done a similar configuration for my company. This little Debian box (an old 486-DX/66 with about 40 Megs RAM and 1,2 Gig Harddisk) serves about 20 Users as a SAMBA and mail server with smail and qpopper. The Internet connection is done automatically by a cron job every 30 minutes (only 8 to 20 in the other hours only once in a hour) over an ISDN Sync-PPP connection (with an external ELSA MicroLink TLpro terminal adapter). The machine is our DNS server too. To your second question, you should choose internet site as smail's default config profile. The other configuration (smail, pppd, DNS, SAMBA) is more fine tuning (e.g. I've configure smail to keep a copy of every mail, which is send or received by the server). BTW - We have a own internet domain which is served by one provider, and an mail account at an other provider. The mail account is a multidrop mailbox for the whole domain . This means, that no user id checking is done at the providers box. Every mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets to our server, and when the user is unknown, it is send to our postmaster account.

I have never used, or thought of using mdutils. I see no advantange to it. I have had 3 drives (2 IDE, 1 SCSI) connected at the same time. All of the drives were 1 Gig or more and I had various partitions mounted on all of them. As far as Linux is concerned, they were one drive. As long as the partition was in fstab, I never had to do anything more then say 'cp xyx /downloads' and the file xyz would be copied to the drive (hda, hdb or sda) that I had the /downloads partition on. So, as I see it, The 3 drives ARE one file system. Now I realize that this is NOT the same as what mdutils calls one drive. But as far as I am concerned it works the same and is very easy to understand. There may be good reasons to use mdutils (as I said, I have never looked into it ) but I would not think it would offer ANY advantage unless your drives were large (over 1 Gig).

First of all, please use debian-user@lists.debian.org for this kind of
questions.
Second, if you just want to install Debian, please consult the following
page: http://www.debian.org/doc/
If you already installed Debian and want to connext to your ISP using PPP,
first read /usr/doc/ppp/README.debian and follow instructions.
In case of any problem, post your questions on debian-user with
description of specific problem you have.
Good luck.

Design of Debian web site
Hi! The last times I visited the Debian web site I had to realize that it is not very impressing concerning design and structure. Especially in design the sites of FreeBSD, The GNOME Project, KDE, Red Hat, etc. have a lot more to offer. Of course web page design is not the most important thing about Debian but as the web site is in most cases the first contact with Debian I consider it important to have a professional, serious looking appearance. Moreover I think the strucure could be improved. I think 16 items in the main menu are too many and most of them would fit in a top level category. To make it more clear what I mean: I think of home page with a navigation bar on the left and a text column on the right. The navigation bar should contain a maximum of about 6 top level categories like About, News, Support, Development... each with its second level categories. The text column could contain a brief description of what Debian is, the latest news article or other related stuff. And to make it perfect one could add a nice banner containing the logo and the text "Debian GNU/Linux". All other pages could contain a smaller version of the banner and a navigation bar on the top with only the top level categories. The whole thing could be colored in white / red / dark blue like the logo. What do you think about this? I would be happy to hear your opinions. If there is enough positive feedback I can create a rough prototype of what I think of. Bye, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Waye-Ian CHIEW wrote: > > Hello! > > I'm presently trying to shuffle and resize several partitions on a disk device > without losing data. My answer to this is NOT authoritative, that is, I haven't looked at the code. However, in general, partitioning doesn't move data about; it merely updates a small file which delineates the sets of diskblocks that comprise each partition. The filesystem lays out the the blocks of its partition in accordance with it's policy - the filesystem on /proc is very different to those on /usr, or /, or /var which are in turn very different from that on /msdos. The *nix data partitions (/, /usr, /var, etc.) are layed out with a set of i-nodes at the beginning of the partition (or sets of i-nodes scattered throughout) each of which point to the individual blocks (or sets of blocks) which hold the file. The policy (or format) for msdos is very different, and unknown to me, as are the formats of /proc, etc. Thus partitions aren't easily moved or combined without foreknowledge of the format of the content. Thus, you need to backup each of the partitions involved, re-partition, and restore the backups to the now empty, new, partitions.

ftp.debian.org status?
I finally got my Linux box back up after motherboard problems and so the first thing I wanted to do was to update my old copy of hamm. However, when I ran dselect to grab updates I find that the package lists from ftp.debian.org are mangled or bad and only list a few packages in them (for example, I don't think "base" is an obsolete package:-). Anyone know what's up with ftp.debian.org? Have the directories and/or status of hamm changed?

POP3 with Qmail
Hi! I've installed Qmail 1.01 and it works fine. My users want to read their mail via POP3 and via pine in shell. So I need to find solution to this problem. If I use Qmail's POP3 daemon, it supports only Maildirs and Pine does NOT support maildirs? Is there some patch for pine to make it support maildirs? If I deliver mail to homedirectory Mailboxes, pine works fine but where can I find *working* POP3 daemon that can read mail from homedirectory mailboxes? Qpopper should can do it, but If I compile it with -DHOMEDIRMAIL (or something like that) it works, but it still requires /var/spool/mail (it stores lock-files there). And I needed to do some other code-hacking before Qpopper worked, so Is there "official" version of some POP3-daemon that supports homedirectory mailboxes? -Pasi Karkkainen ^ . .

ext2fs resize?
Hello! I'm presently trying to shuffle and resize several partitions on a disk device without losing data. Can the ext2fs resize itself?

the install that never was
Well, I just tried booting with a RedHat boot floppy. It reboots before it's done, too. I also tried a FreeBSD floppy (I really want *some* kind of Unix-alike running here!), and while it booted and ran fine with no trouble, it couldn't recognize my serial ports. So...what would y'all say my options are from here? 1) Give up, and don't use Linux (a last resort, I'd hope) 2) Find boot floppies that'll work with my machine (would require a kind soul with a working system to help me out, I'm sure) 3) Find out why my system doesn't get along with Linux 4) Find another free Unix-alike to run (FreeBSD is still possible, but I'll need to twiddle with its serial recognition) Any other options? Any possible leads on why this is going on? I don't mean to sound ungrateful (I understand this software is free), but it strikes me as a little unfriendly for the installation floppy to be completely unable to boot. I've scanned the archives, and while I'm not the first person to have trouble like this during an install, I didn't find any solutions. --- Wolf Lochland Logan Ohlone Costanoan Esselen Nation xue elo xonia eune - I come from the rock The fact is, there may be hope http://www.talamasca.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

IIRC just installing the mbr package doesn't fix your MBR. You have to do what the /usr/sbin/liloconfig script would otherwise do for you (you can do it with the script anyway I think.) To install a pristine MBR on /dev/hda type this: dd if=/boot/mbr.b of=/dev/hda bs=444 count=1 After that you'll want to activate a partition. That is the partition that holds the lilo partition boot sector. This can either be done interactively with fdisk or on the command-line with the command /sbin/activate that comes with the lilo package.
