I believe the distribution is RedHat, But I would think the school would prefer to have the pre-installed software WITH the service contract that to let the students install another OS without a service contract.

Re: Lilo help for NT
Hi, I use a slightly different setup. I have an entry in the NT boot menu that allows me to start lilo, from which I can boot into linux. This is discussed in the January issue of the linuxgazette. If linux can write to the partition from which NT boots, you can make lilo write its bootsector directly to the file used by NT by adding the line boot= to lilo.conf.

Re: magic cookie error
Hi, One way to solve this problem would be using 'xhost +localhost' to enable connections to the X server from your own machine.

Another less convenient, but presumably more secure method is the following: $ xauth list $DISPLAY # mark the output $ su - # xauth add # export DISPLAY=

Anyway, my email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and my linux login in choover. I've setup fetchmail to pull down my mail, and that seems to be working. However, when I try to send mail with tkrat, I get the following error: 550 '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' not matched: (ERR_100) unknown user. Does anyone know how to fix this error? I've tried adding [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the "Use from address:" field under the sending preferences. I've put bellsouth.net in the "Masquerade host as:" field on the same screen, and put bellsouth.net in the "Domain:" field. None of these have fixed the problem. TIA, Chris

Anyway, that freezing sounds like it could be an IRQ conflict. Check cat /proc/interrupts to see which IRQs are taken, and setserial -g /dev/ttyS* to see what are the stats on COM ports. This can help, since if you know what COM port the modem is on, and it's conflicting, you can reassign the stats. HTH, Andrew --- Andrei S.

Can > anyone suggest what I should do to make them work in gnus? When replying with gnus the mail-self-blind and mail-signature* variables are not honored. Instead use you can use message-default-headers, message-signature, and message-signature-file. I think the following should do what you want: (setq message-default-headers "Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]") (setq message-signature-file "~bob/.sig") (setq message-signature t) Somewhere along the way, 'mail' was generalized to 'message' (including posting on newsgroups as well as sending email). It is possible, of course, to customize the signature file (or virtually any other aspect of gnus). For instance, you can use different signature files for sending messages to different destinations. Instead of setting message-signature to t, write a form that evals to what you want. From the documentation for message-signature: `message-signature' (buffer: *Hyper Apropos*, mode: Hyper-Apropos) *String to be inserted at the end of the message buffer. If t, the `message-signature-file' file will be inserted instead. If a function, the result from the function will be used instead. If a form, the result from the form will be used instead. (By the way, I, too, found this change in behavior a bit obscure and not obviously documented.) I'm using xemacs, not fsf emacs right now, but I think this applies to gnus under fsf emacs as well.

It looks like this: login_user_name * my_password First, start with a fresh set of config files (force a reinstall of ppp and then pppconfig), and then use minicom to verify exactly what your ISP wants to see. This may have remained the same, but verify it anyway. When the ISP starts sending what looks like garbage in the minicom terminal, thats the PAP request you are seeing. Verify your name and password are the same for the pap-secrets file as well as the chatscript file. Also make sure 'noauth' is in your provider file (a parameter send to pppd). 'auth' would cause your machine to interrogate your ISP's machine for a PAP connection, which won't work, of course, as the situation is the other way around. Hope it helps. -- Ed C.

Here's my system setup: /dev/hda1 is my linux root partition (the rest of hda has linux stuff on it too) /dev/hdb1 is my windows drive, it's formatted FAT32 and's been sys'd. Here's my lilo.conf file: boot=/dev/hda1 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=40 root=/dev/hda1 image=/zImage append="ether=5,0x300,eth0 ether=4,0x240,eth1 mem=128M" label=Linux.custom read-only image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only other=/dev/hdb1 label=win table=/dev/hda when I boot my machine and try to launch windows, the system says: LILO boot: win loading win and just sits there. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong/what I can do to fix it? I've been reading the lilo docs, but nothing I've tried has worked so far. -- Christopher Fury ... a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Re: pine & mutt
Hi Steve Lamb, you wrote on Sat, Feb 20, 1999 at 09:22:34PM -0800: >*WHY!?* Anyone familiar with mutt would know that it was modeled after >a newsreader, SLRN! So why contribute to bloat by having those two >functions in the same program, especially mutt, when one can have mutt and >slrn with similar key mappings, similar colors, etc, etc, etc... Well I tried pine at first (it did news, but not too good), then tried SLRN, which was pretty good, but had no nice filtering/scoring. Then I tried tin and it's IMHO great. mutt is also highly configurable (as tin), so if you put some work into it, you get them both to your liking. The biggest disadvantage of SLRN was the only basic filtering. >In short, any patch to mut to mangle it to read news will fall severely >short of slrn or any other dedicated news reader.

Has anyone here used logcheck on a Debian system? I have used it with OpenLinux but on Debian, I have not been able to get the logcheck.ignore file to work. Also, sentry did not work very well on Debian and I got rid of it. Perhaps there is some way of getting locheck to work. thanks -- Andrew

I wish I would have done it manually, but it's to late now. I think the problem was caused by accidentally selecting PAP instead of CHAT, but I did this the first time used pppconfig and it didn't cause a problem then. The only difference is I changed back to CHAT before I used pon the first time. I finally found all of the pppconfig files in pppconfig manual and deleted them. Then I ran pppconfig again, but I still have the same problem. I also looked though the PPPD and CHAT manuals and tried a couple of changes, but nothing helped.

Problems with Netscape 4.5 and shared libraries
I recently bought Debian 2.0 cd, because I couldn't afford Red Hat and I was bored in using Slackware, and I didn't have any problems until now. I installed Netscape 4.5 and when I run it, it claims that 'cannot load libXpm.so.4'. Now, I have the file in /usr/X11R6/lib, and other programs use it without no problems. It's symbolic link from libXpm.so.4.10. I tried with several other versions but I got same message. I've got same messages with other programs like some parts of Gnome and Enlightenment's Eterm. My friend told me that NS 4.5 should work with libXpm.so.4.10... Weird. If someone know how to make a script where I can define library path to /usr/lib/netscape, where I made symlinks of files NS needs, I would preciate if you would tell me how. I made one but it mumbled something about 'segmentation fault'. Btw, I installed NS to /usr/local/netscape, if it helps. thanks, John Tribal __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

However when trying to print for instance the /etc/printcap file by using "lpr /etc/printcap" the following message was obtained: Connection to 'localhost' failed-connection refused job 'cfAxxxdebian' transfer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed When I invoked "lpc status" I found cannot open connection to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'-connection refused I am not in any network (is my home PC connected to internet by modem)!

What do you mean by the defaults? The default valuse displayed by pppconfig are not read from a file. They are generated internally by pppconfig when the provider files (/etc/chatscripts/provider and /etc/ppp/peers/provider) either don't exist or don't look right. > What files should I delete to get pppconfig back to where it was when I > first installed hamm? When you first installed hamm the ppp package installed a set of default files. Pppconfig ignored these and showed you its defaults. It then replaced the files installed by the ppp package with those it generated when you answered the questions. Look in /etc/chatscripts and /etc/ppp/peers for files named 'provider.bak'. Depending on exactly what you did, these files may contain your data. Rename each of them from 'provider.bak' to just 'provider' and run pppconfig again. If you are lucky your old data will come up. If not you will have to enter it all again. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI

Re: magic cookie error
I've seen this question a lot on this list, and although this (xhost) is a working solution, it seems to be considered to be a bit of a security hole (anyone logged on to the localhost can access the X-Server, and thus monitor keys and find out peoples passwords). If you set the XAUTHORITY variable in your environment as root to be //.Xauthority, eg by adding: export XAUTHORITY=/home//.Xauthority to the .bashrc of root (if you are using the bash shell), then root can open windows on user's xserver. Beware, however, that you will have a problem if you try to start an X-server as root, as it will try and use an old/non-existent(?) copy of .Xauthority from user's home directory. To get around this, you would need to unset the XAUTHORITY variable in root's environment. However, I belive running X as root is also considered to be the wrong thing to do. hope this help Rich Phil Dyer wrote: > > Pollywog wrote: > > > I am getting this MAGIC COOKIE error when I try to run some X stuff as root. > > Is there something I can add to my profile in order to avoid it? > > > > Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server > > Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key > > ktail: cannot connect to X server :0.0 > > > > thanks > > > > -- > > Andrew > > > > -- > > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < > > /dev/nullman > > man xhost > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

Most of the older ATAPI cdroms can't. Toshiba 4x and above should read cdda, mainly in singlespeed. Most of the older SCSI cdroms do fine.

Re: fetchmail problem
In debian you are supposed to put scripts which you want run when connecting in '/etc/ppp/ip-up.d'. Also, make sure the permssions are correct (-rwxr-xr-x) And (just to ask the obvious) is the command actually pointing to fetchmail (debian places it in /usr/bin/). Apart from this I can't think of any reason why it won't work, as it works just fine for me. This is what my .fetchmailrc looks like (owned by root): -- poll pop.prestel.co.uk with proto pop3 user there has password is dave here postconnect /usr/bin/runq -- And the relevant lines from the /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/local script look like this: --- #!/bin/sh fetchmail# <-Just to make sure the mail is fetched immediatly on fetchmail -d 180 # later connects. --- HTH.

Non-ATAPI-CDROM ??
Hi, there ! I am just trying to install Debian 2.0(.34) on my 486/50. Other components are: 8 MB RAM SVGA 1 MB WD 210 MB Conner 210 MB Soundblaster 1.5 ser. Mouse The CDROM (in Windows a "MITSUMI newer single speed") is connected to an extra Controller (only one connector, looks like ATAPI, (E)ISA, CINCH-connectors at the rear). I have tried to install Debian from the Rescue Disk. When prompted where from to install the KERNEL, I tried all CDROM-Connections (first on primary to second on fourth), but all attempts have failed (not correctly mounted) although the Debian CD was inside of the drive (!). Then, using the "DRV1440.bin" that I had copied with Rawrite 2.0 onto a 3.5" 1.44 MB - Disk, I tried it with the "Proprietary CDROM" - option. But the following happened: First a short check of the floppy, then the question whether I liked COLOR or NOT to install Debian. Answering anything gets me back to the question "NEXT = installing KERNEL ..." - and so on !! HELP !!

You currently have a very minimal set of packages installed - i.e. enough to enable you to install the rest ;). You need to get some debian packages from somewhere: 1) over a fast net link (slow ones are OK, if you're not paying per minute) 2) get a debian CD (A suppliers list is on the website) Then run dselect, and pick the packages you want > Mounting local file systems ... > not mounted anything This is fine.

Is there a way to tell it where the HD is so it doesn't have to probe? when I reserve the area it loads the kernal and makes it straight to ash but nothing works in there.

Lilo help for NT
Hi I was wondering if you anyone could give me a hand with using LILO to boot into Linux (and NT). The setting is as follows: primary master: Ultra DMA drive -- NT 4.0 primary slave: none secondary master: IOmega Zip Drive secondary slave: Toshiba 40x ATAPI CD ROM SCSI: Hard drive -- Linux (debian distribution 2.0 r3) NT was installed first onto the first primary master drive using CDROM. Linux was installed later, also using CDROM, onto the SCSI drive. I have NO floppy drive and do not intend on getting one. I was able to install the linux kernel and base files fine, however when it comes time to reboot, I was unable to get into it because NT OS loader has control of the MBR on the primary master IDE drive and it is not aware of a linux installation (or lilo). How can I install lilo so that I can boot into both NT and Linux without loosing my installation. - oberon

Quite wierd network problem
Hi, Sometimes my network hangs up (I can not ping outside, I can ping on localhost). Usually it happends once every 3 or 4 days. I'm currently running 2.2.1 kernel, but it always happened (kernels 2.0.36 to 2.2.1). For a long time, I though it was due to my network card (3com 3C905BTX2). I used to reboot the computer, and everything worked fine after ... for 3/4 days. I get messages like this one when the network hangs: Feb 11 02:18:52 groumph kernel: Socket destroy delayed (r=0 w=320) Now, I discovered that doing: # ifconfig eth0 down # bash /etc/init.d/network reconnects me on the network. I keep all my old connections, rlogins, windows sent from other computers ... Do you have a clue about what is happening ? How could I avoid it ?

PPP from install disks.

Auto Login at Boot?
IN trying to find out if there was a way to automatically login during
boot or to login to different terminals at boot I ran across this
program. Not being a C programmer I don't really understand what is
happening in this program. It looks as if a password can be accepted as
an argument but in the example there is no password mentioned
dboot tty userid command
Can this be used to auto login under numerous terminal under different
user id's and passwords.
i.e.
dboot tty userid password command
I usually keep three terminal open. One as root, one as user under a
command shell and one as user under an X terminal. I use root because I
haven't found out which files I need to give user rights to in order to
PPP.
/* dboot.c - program for inittab to execute and start processes.
Arguments are:
tty to use for console
program to run (most likely login)
[any program args]
example:
c1:respawn:/usr/local/bin/dboot tty1 login -f sysadmin
will startup user 'sysadmin' on console 1
By Dave Bennet, from Linux Journal Issue 33 January 1997
o Modified by Jeremy Impson, to take one more argument, a uid that will
be changed to. It is optional, assuming that the userid doesn't
start with
a '/', and assuming that the command does. July 10, 1997
usage is now

fetchmail problem
I am having a problem with Fetchmail. I can get mail if I connect to the Internet and then use the command 'fetchmail', but when I was using OpenLinux, I just put: /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -d 600 in my /etc/ppp/ip-up and I could get my mail whenever I went online with diald. I am unable to do that now and need to enter the command manually. Is there a way to do in Debian what I did in OpenLinux? thanks -- Andrew

It was probably sucked in by a dependency in the now empty xbase package. So just 'dpkg --purge xdm'. Once you have upgraded to the -10 versions of the X packages in slink you can also 'dpkg --purge xbase' as it was just a dummy package to help in the migration of the upgrade. Read the 'dpkg -s xbase' if you are not sure. -- Brian - "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering[EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -

It does work on Linux. I have a Linux box here with two modems and another located with an ISP which has three modems. I had both going here and was getting 5-6k/sec. Not terrific, but quite nice all the same. If I had another modem I would have gotten that running too :-) Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.

missing man files
[EMAIL PROTECTED] missed the man files in his struggle. I just discovered today that there are a large number of man pages included in debian seven disk download for hamm. One has to read throught the programming jargon but they are there. Try ls /usr/man/man1 or man2 through man5 and man7 and man8. The man pages are all *.gz files but zmore /usr/man/man1 or # takes care of that. Using the hwclock man page I was able to set the date properly but still havent figured out how to set the time. Is this fun or what? [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Modem Commands
> Also, is there a page somewhere that lists the hayes/at modem commands? Try the modem manufacturers home pages. Even if they do not have hayes/at modem commands you can probably get it from what they do have. For example, I believe that www.zoltrix.com can help. Another option, which I never tried, is to make a web serach for it.
