El nombre del fichero es /etc/resolv.conf A veces los dedos van más rápidos de lo que uno desearía :-)) He pensado en hacerme un script que fuera como el pon, pero que además arreglara algunas cosillas como por ejemplo tener resolv.conf por proveedor y antes de la coneción, que resolv.conf se linkara al que toque (y lo mismo con ip-up.d, ip-down.d). ¿Hay alguna solución mejor? Yo creo que sí... ¡Utiliza un solo /etc/resolv.conf! el del proveedor que te de más confianza, el de Arrakis, el de Servicom, el de Microsoft }:-) Ya, pero en /etc/resolv.conf también se define (si no me equivoco) el dominio de la máquina, ¿no? Y si, por ejemplo, me conecto a un proveedor con dominio upc.es (el de mi universidad), ¿puedo tener ctv.es (mi proveedor habitual) en /etc/resolv.conf? El DNS no requiere autorización, como las news, el smtp; para todo esto puedes utilizar el servidor de un solo proveedor. No, pero me temo que entonces si no tengo bien el domainname, no me autorizará a conectarme al smtp que toque en cada caso. Además existe el problema de los otros ficheros de configuracion, por ejemplo el del sendmail (bueno, yo uso exim) pues el smart-host en cada será diferente. Otra pregunta, ésta sobre permisos: para que el pon me funcionara he hecho suid tanto el chat como el pppd. ¿Hay alguna solución mejor? Debian viene preparado para que baste con añadir los usuarios que quieras que puedan utilizar pon/pppd al grupo dip (que por cierto tengo entendido que es el nombre del programa antiguo para realizar la conexión ¿Alguien lo sabe seguro?) Ok, ya lo probaré. Otra cosilla, he estado observando que en la consola me aparecen mensajes de los demons tcplogd y icmplogd. En el primero parece que todo va bien, en cambio en los mensajes del icmplog solo aparecen cosas del estilo 'connection refused' (no estoy en casa así que el mensaje no es exacto). Los mensajes van a pares, y si no recuerdo mal, primero uno del icmplogd (indicando que no se ha autorizado la conexión) y luego el del tcplogd (indicando una conexión exitosa). Pero parece que todo va más o menos bien, funciona el exim (tanto para correo on-line, como off-line), funciona el leafnode, el slrn, etc, etc. Lo único que no funciona (y que tengo sospechas de que sea a causa de esto) son los DCC del IRC, puedo enviarlos pero no recibirlos. ¿Alguien podría decirme algo o remitirme a documentación sobre el tema?

Problemas con send mail
Despues de la última actualización a Debian 2.0 me quedan algunas cosas por arreglar. Una de ellas es el sendmail. He conservado los ficheros de configuración anteriores /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf /etc/sendmail.cf etc.. El comportamiendo ahora es distinto. La recepción la hace normalmente pero tanto mailq con sendmail -q esperan exactamente un minuto antes de hacer nada. Borrando /etc/resolv.conf y probando nuevamente con mailq el resultado es el mismo. Pensaba que estaría intentando resolver por nombre pero en ese caso el borrado del resolv.conf lo habría resuelto a no ser que intente resolver de otra forma. Que puede estar pasando. Hay algún cambio en sendmail que expilque este comportamiento ? --- En caso de contestar a la lista mandame copia personal. /\ /\ Los mas importantes desarrolladores de Bases de datos \\W//están portando sus productos a Linux.

Re: Múltiples proveedores
La solucion aquí está en programa los ip-up.d e ip-down.d para que
hagan unas cosas u otras en función de un determinado valor, que aquí será
el IP que te da el proveedor.
Como puedes saber el rango de direcciones IP que te da el proveedor
(mira los logs si tienes la depuración activada en el pppd), puedes hacer
algo del estilo de:
(en perl)
if ( $IP =~ /192\.168\.4\./)
{ # configuracion para servidor X }
if ( $IP =~ /195\.134\.110\./)
{ # configuracion para servidor Y}
Es la forma más sencilla de hacerlo (creo). Aunque el problema viene
si tienes varias máquinas conectadas a la que tiene el modem (yo en casa
tengo dos), en la que si modificas el /etc/resolv.conf tienes que modificar
la de todas las máquinas (yo tengo esto en casa con ip_forwarding, y diald :)
La solución aquí es poner un demonio de DNS (bind) en el que tiene
el modem, y que las otras tengan como resolver el servidor con modem.
Pero bueno, lo que no se pueda hacer con Linux no está escrito :)

Re: Múltiples proveedores
Juan-Manuel Gimeno Illa [EMAIL PROTECTED] dijo en una ocasión que: He pensado en hacerme un script que fuera como el pon, pero que además arreglara algunas cosillas como por ejemplo tener resolv.conf por proveedor y antes de la coneción, que resolv.conf se linkara al que toque (y lo mismo con ip-up.d, ip-down.d). ¿Hay alguna solución mejor? Yo creo que sí... ¡Utiliza un solo /etc/resolv.conf! el del proveedor que te de más confianza, el de Arrakis, el de Servicom, el de Microsoft }:-) Ya, pero en /etc/resolv.conf también se define (si no me equivoco) el dominio de la máquina, ¿no? Y si, por ejemplo, me conecto a un proveedor con dominio upc.es (el de mi universidad), ¿puedo tener ctv.es (mi proveedor habitual) en /etc/resolv.conf? Si te digo la verdad, yo no tengo ninguna línea 'domain ...' en mi /etc/resolv.conf si no únicamente 'nameserver 194.224.39.10'. EMMO creo que no se debe configurar ningún 'domain' si no se está seguro de que el nombre del host es *real* en dicho dominio, es decir, de que está en las tablas de los DNS de ese dominio. Por ejemplo, mi proveedor es Mundivia y mi host se llama bosshog. Paso de poner 'domain mundivia.es' en mi /etc/resolv.conf porque el nombre de host completo 'bosshog.mundivia.es' no me ha sido asignado por nadie. El DNS no requiere autorización, como las news, el smtp; para todo esto puedes utilizar el servidor de un solo proveedor. No, pero me temo que entonces si no tengo bien el domainname, no me autorizará a conectarme al smtp que toque en cada caso. Además existe el problema de los otros ficheros de configuracion, por ejemplo el del sendmail (bueno, yo uso exim) pues el smart-host en cada será diferente. Yo creo que da igual el domainname que tengas. De hecho yo no tengo ningún domain puesto y puedo enviar correo vía smtp.mundivia.es (este mensaje es la prueba viviente :-) Otra pregunta, ésta sobre permisos: para que el pon me funcionara he hecho suid tanto el chat como el pppd. ¿Hay alguna solución mejor? Debian viene preparado para que baste con añadir los usuarios que quieras que puedan utilizar pon/pppd al grupo dip (que por cierto tengo entendido que es el nombre del programa antiguo para realizar la conexión ¿Alguien lo sabe seguro?) Ok, ya lo probaré. Otra cosilla, he estado observando que en la consola me aparecen mensajes de los demons tcplogd y icmplogd. En el primero parece que todo va bien, en cambio en los mensajes del icmplog solo aparecen cosas del estilo 'connection refused' (no estoy en casa así que el mensaje no es exacto). Los mensajes van a pares, y si no recuerdo mal, primero uno del icmplogd (indicando que no se ha autorizado la conexión) y luego el del tcplogd (indicando una conexión exitosa). Pero parece que todo va más o menos bien, funciona el exim (tanto para correo on-line, como off-line), funciona el leafnode, el slrn, etc, etc. Lo único que no funciona (y que tengo sospechas de que sea a causa de esto) son los DCC del IRC, puedo enviarlos pero no recibirlos. ¿Alguien podría decirme algo o remitirme a documentación sobre el tema? Ni idea sobre esto.

Re: [Debian] Installing debian on a Toshiba 490XCDT
Hi, Nico! I'm trying to install Debian on a Toshiba 490XCDT. unfortunately the machine keeps rebooting after Linux... I tried creating a Tecra rescue disk (resc1440tecra.bin) but that doesn't help. I believe you already solved the problem, but anyway here is my solution: I installed linux on Thinkpad 380xd, the only appropriate way was to use loadlin, and boot disk from Win95 running in Dos mode. As disk was fat16, there was actually no problem. Booting form diskette or LILO failed in the same way you discribed. Sasha.
Running a libc5 binary - weird problem
Hi. I'm trying to run the good old Mule 2.3 which I downloaded from some Japanese site. It was part of a Japanesed bo distribution. I need it because it supports right-to-left text input, needed for proper Hebrew writing, which XEmacs-MULE doesn't support. I haven't been able to find a newer deb, and I failed compiling it myself - it just won't go with the includes, it apparently needs a lot of fixing before it would compile with glibc. Now, I've never had any problem running libc5 applications, including the libc5 Netscape, until I stumbled upon this one. Normally a libc5 app has its X libraries linked from /usr/lib/libc5-compat, and ldd shows that. However, look what ldd shows for mule: alexsh:~/mule/usr/bin ldd mule libXaw.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 (0x4000b000) libXmu.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x40043000) libXt.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x40055000) libSM.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x4009d000) libICE.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x400a6000) libXext.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x400bb000) libX11.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x400c7000) libncurses.so.3.0 = /lib/libncurses.so.3.0 (0x4016a000) libm.so.5 = /lib/libm.so.5 (0x401a6000) libc.so.5 = /lib/libc.so.5 (0x401af000) libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4026d000) ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40312000) Why does it try to link the libraries from /usr/X11R6/lib?

Re: FYI: DMA/33 and kernels
just a few ideas. is your hd the slave or master, and if the master is there a slave connected to the same cable? Is the ide interface connected to the ISA or PCI bus? Belive it or not some pci motherboards still have the ide interface connected to the ISA side! (some have only the secondary interface connected to the ISA for use with slower CD rom drives). My pc has the TX chipset and both interfaces are pci. The hd is the only device on interface 1, interface 2 has my CD and LS120 drives. What speed is your cpu? How much cache and dram. I have 64MB dram and 512K cache with a K6-233. I would think that the ide interface has a ready/busy status and the driver would wait for the drive, but maybe the drive is giving an advanced ready signal? ---George Bonser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have managed to significantly reduce the error rate by turning OFF everything in the bios settings that might improve the performacne of IDE.

Re: Laptop Installation problem
Hi, I was able to install linux on IBM ThinkPad 380XD, thru loadlin. Install.bat worked fine. (Booting from diskette or LILO was hopeless.) But important thing is that you have FAT16, not FAT32.

I have tried to install off my HD using the procedure in the document Installing Debain Linux 2.0 for x86. Once the install.bat file is executed, the expected cryptic information about hardware is displayed. However during the process, it freezes and displays: VFS: Cannot open root device 08:02 kernel panic: VFH: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02 I then tried installing via the recue disk. It managed to get to the boot prompt ok, but whilst it was uncompressing it stoped and displayed a boot error. I then attempted to use the resc1440tecra.bin rescue disk for laptops, which failed to get to the prompt displaying a boot failure. I then tried the other rescue disk, which then did the same thing as the laptop recue. I would really appreciate some help!

RE: Getting at Debian distribution files
An alternative would be to mount the CD on a Windows 95 or NT box on the LAN, and pull the packages off the CD via FTP or NFS, but this would require a FTP/NFS server for 95 or NT which will handle translation of filenames based on TRANS.TBL files - something which I haven't been able to find.

packet - PID mapping? (was look up process)
I deplore me, too followups, but this was a question I've been meaning to ask for a long time; and since I didn't see any response for a couple of days, I thought I'd repeat it: [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I was having trouble with diald bringing up the line. A dump of the /var/log/ppp.log showed something connecting to local (127.0.0.1) and sending a DNS request (port 53 on destination IP). Is there a way to query a connection to find out which process is doing the connection? I'd sure like to know what was connecting thru local and requesting DNS. In other words, is there a way to find out which *process* is the source or destination of a packet? The diald packet queue (and the packets themselves) contain only the port number. The port numbers must, I suppose, be mapped to PIDs, somewhere in the kernel. How can I get my hands on that information? The file /proc/net/tcp seems to list the open ports, along with a UID and an inode number.

Nils Well, I don't remember the minutes but the controller was an ESDI controller made by Adaptec (2322A ? not sure :-( ). Perhaps that I choosed to use Old hard disk driver instead of Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk support but I think that the two choices would work. Have you tried using your HD under DOS ? Beware of the 34 pin cable, it looks like a floppy cable but you cannot use one for this. Hope this helps. -- Laurent PICOULEAU [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Modem detection trouble.
Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew what else could be done: I am trying to set up ppp connection, but somehow my modem is not being detected by wvdialconf. The modem is on COM2, but wvdialconf says that it checks it and modem is not found. I am using SupraExpress 336i Sp. Andrew
dhcp and/or nis questions?
general questions: Is there a recommended way to modify a debian system to use it as a dhcp client? The system was working on another subnet. Should I modify /etc/init.d/network so the system doesn't come up using the wrong network address? dhcp-client-beta doesn't seem to add anything to my /etc/init.d directory. Do I need to update this directory and the run level scripts to start dhclient before doing (for example) nis initialization? nis specific problems: When I run dhclient, /etc/resolv.conf is written with the new dns info, but /etc/defaultdomain doesn't change. I guess the file doesn't need to change, but the value returned by (nis)domainname isn't modified either. I'm using the dhcp-beta_2.0b1pl6-0.1 and dhcp-client-beta_2.0b1pl6-0.1. Here are part of my global options in /etc/dhcpd.conf: option domain-name alantro.com; option domain-name-servers 192.168.50.1; option nis-domain alantro.com; option nis-servers 192.168.50.1; system boots no /etc/resolv.conf domainname returns bongo run dhclient by hand new /etc/resolv.conf with alantro info domainname still returns bongo, I expected it to change to alantro.com Any suggestions?

I think there is also a manpage or HOWTO somewhere about this but I can't find out at the moment. .inputrc is also necessary. Take a look at the Danish-HOWTO, it explains this and a lot of other stuff. The 8-bit character stuff should be no different from Danish to German. Also select an appropriate console font using setfont, the lat1u font should work. Also select a matching unicode map using loadunimap lat1u in this case. Font/unicode can be configured in /etc/kbd/conf Fonts/unicode maps are found in subdirectories under /usr/share Loadkeys is all you need for the keyboard to work, but that won't do much good unless the console can display the characters entered.

Best way to mount and umount Novell servers automatically in XWindow user login
Hi Debian users, I setup some computers with Debian Hamm and installed ncpfs and ipx papackages. I already mount user directories with .nwclient file and ncpmount at .bash_profile and umount at .bash_logout at console. But in XWindow I didn't figure how I can mount user directory when he logins into XWindow and umount when he logouts. Are there archives that I canput ncpmount and ncpumount at beginning and end of login in XWindow? Have a nice day,Paulo Henrique

RE: [Debian] getting only LI from LILO
It's covered in the LILO User's Guide. It says it's either due to a geometry mismatch (between LILO and the BIOS) or a moved /boot/boot.b file. I'd bet on the geometry mismatch. You can usually get around the mismatch problem by adding the linear option to lilo.conf and rerunning lilo. Alternatively, you could force lilo to use the same geometry as the BIOS by adding a disk= stanza to lilo.conf or you could force the kernel and then lilo and fdisk to use the BIOS geometry with a kernel boot option.

Re: German Umlauts on the console.

Also select an appropriate console font using setfont, the lat1u font should work. Also select a matching unicode map using loadunimap lat1u in this case.

Re: xdm starting at the begining
Hi Bostjan : How can I start xdm at the logon? I am using Debian 2.0 and the PC is stand alone. Another thing is how to set up different keyboard and font before xdm starts ? Bostjan Assuming that xdm is running at startup (the file /etc/init.d/xdm exist), you must add the line : :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X options, if you want to the file : /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers The font can be change using resource, for that exist the file : /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources_0.

You should install libc5 package along with xlib6 package (in addition to xlib6g) and try again. Unfortunately, some Motif vendors used to sell Motif 2.0.1 compiled in such a way that it would still link with libc6 even it was compiled with libc5 and libc5 is present on the system. I cannot imagine anything would help in this case. Ask your vendor for an upgrade to Motif 2.1 (libc6-based version). This should be fairly cheap. I myself _never_ paid the full price for my motif (Used some trade-in option) and since the first purchase I keep getting upgrades basically for free.

More robust filesystem?
Hi. We're using Debian workstations in our labs, and as expected they rarely get shut down properly, many times they are just reset or switched off, either due to ignorance or not caring. The question is whether there is a way to configure the kernel to issue updates to the meta-data more frequently, even in expense of performance? Or what else can I do to keep the filesystems on the workstations more stable, in addition to user educating on which we're of course working? -- Alex Shnitman [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://alexsh.home.ml.org
