Re: smail/sendmail/qmail cual?
Hola, De smail no conozco, lo que te puedo decir es que QMail tiene puntos positivos y negativos respecto de sendmail: Positivos: - Mucho mas seguro. Nada corre como root, de hecho cada fase de la entrega de correo corre como un usuario distinto - Cada usuario puede crear aliases personales, por ejemplo el usuario [EMAIL PROTECTED] puede crear aliases [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] simplemente creando archivos .qmail-noticias y .qmail-linux en su directorio home, con formato similar al .forward - Soporte a dominios virtuales y a tener usuarios de correo que no tengan cuenta en /etc/passwd (acceso solo por POP/IMAP). Esto es con programas adicionales que puedes bajar de qmail.org. - Soporte tanto a archivos de tipo /var/mail como a Maildirs. En este ultimo, en vez de mantener el spool de correo en un solo archivo por usuario, se tiene un directorio en el home de cada usuario (o puede estar en otro lado), con un archivo por mensaje. Esto te da varias ventajas: + No hay problemas de locking + Si se cae la maquina o el demonio a la mitad de la entrega de un correo, el spool no se corrompe. Negativos: - En muchos casos no es tan flexible como sendmail. - Su licencia es un poco extrania, hay problemas para distribuirlo (por eso no viene con Debian). Yo estoy usando QMail y me va bastante bien. Tambien he oido buenas cosas de Exim, que viene con Debian. En resumen, si estas instalando un sistema nuevo, y no requieres de cosas muy sofisticadas, utiliza lo que sea excepto Sendmail, simplemente por cuestion de seguridad.

Monitoreo de UPS

Problemas con Sound Blaster
Hola a tod*s,
bueno, resulta que tengo algunos problemas, al parecer inexplicables
con la dichosa Sound Blaster Awe 64. Bien, como todos sabréis la
tarjetita de marras es PNP. Yo uso Debian Slink con el kernel 2.0.36.
Para empezar, ejecuté el programa pnpdump, el cual me reconoció la
tarjeta y me ofreció una serie de posibles valores de configuración. Los
que yo elegí y volqué en el fichero /etc/isapnp.conf son los siguientes
(éstos son los valores en los que funciona con el Windows NT):
(READPORT 0x0203)
(ISOLATE PRESERVE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(VERBOSITY 2)
(CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING
# Card 1: (serial identifier 92 18 09 19 9a c3 00 8c 0e)
# Vendor Id CTL00c3, Serial Number 403249562, checksum 0x92.
# Version 1.0, Vendor version 1.0
# ANSI string --Creative SB AWE64 PnP--
# Vendor defined tag: 73 02 45 00
#
# Logical device id CTL0045
# Device supports vendor reserved register @ 0x39
# Device supports vendor reserved register @ 0x3a
# Device supports vendor reserved register @ 0x3d
#
# Edit the entries below to uncomment out the configuration required.
# Note that only the first value of any range is given, this may be
changed if required
# Don't forget to uncomment the activate (ACT Y) when happy
(CONFIGURE CTL00c3/403249562 (LD 0
# ANSI string --Audio--
(INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 1))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 5))
(IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0220))
(IO 1 (SIZE 2) (BASE 0x0330))
(IO 2 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0388))
(NAME CTL00c3/403249562[0]{Audio })
# End dependent functions
(ACT Y)
))
# Returns all cards to the Wait for Key state
(WAITFORKEY)
Cabe decir que, al ejecutar el programa isapnp, la tarjeta es reconocida
y puede ser configurada:
lspci not found, so PCI resource conflict not checked
Board 1 has Identity 92 18 09 19 9a c3 00 8c 0e: CTL00c3 Serial No
403249562 [checksum 92]
CTL00c3/403249562[0]{Audio }: Ports 0x220 0x330 0x388;
IRQ5 DMA1 DMA5 --- Enabled OK
Esto no ocurre con las IRQ 10 (ocupada por la tarjeta de red), 9
(ocupada por nosequé controlador el cual, por cierto, me lo dice la
maquina al arrancar, pero no el Linux) y 7 (que no sé por quién narices
está ocupada). Por supuesto, recompilé el kernel con soporte para
sonido, en particular con estas opciones:
* Sound card support: m
* Sound Blaster (SB, SBPro, SB16, clones) support: y
* Generic OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesizer support: y
* /dev/dsp and /dev/audio support: y
* MIDI interface support: y
* FM synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support: y
* I/O base for SB: 220
* Sound Blaster IRQ: 5
* Sound Blaster DMA: 1
* Sound Blaster 16 bit DMA: 5
* MPU401 I/O base of SB16: 330
* SB MPU401 IRQ. Use -1 with SB16: -1
* Audio DMA buffer size: 65536
Procediendo de esta forma (aunque en la IRQ 7) es como conseguí que mi
viejo PC, usando la entrañable Debian 1.3, hablase y cantase sin
ningún tipo de problemas (es la misma tarjeta la que tengo en el nuevo).
Bueno, también deciros que utilizo kerneld para cargar y descargar
automáticamente los módulos de la memoria y que el kernel está compilado
con soporte para dos procesadores (Pentium Pro a 400 Mhz.). Ahora, vamos
al problema. Si yo intento utilizar la Sound Blaster, el programa que
intenta gastar el módulo de sonido (bplay o saytime, por ejemplo) me
dice, A VECES, que el dispositivo /dev/dsp o /dev/audio no ha sido
configurado y en el syslog me aparece:
Apr 19 10:55:01 cerbero kernel: sb: Interrupt test on IRQ5 failed -
device disabled
Otras veces, funciona correctamente. En otras ocasiones, tras mucho
insistir, al final funciona. Y otras (pocas) veces, no va ni a tiros. Lo
que he observado. Cuando no va, al ejecutar cat /dev/sndstat me sale:

If I use something very often, such as ppp, should I include it in the kernel or compile it as a module? There should not be a difference. If you use something the entire time the box is on, then consider compiling it in. Some items must be a module to allow irq and io addresses to be configed. Actually, if you set versioning info on all modules, you're required to compile ppp support as a module. Besides that, if you use modules at all, you may as well just load things as needed since you've already committed to the overhead incurred by modularizing. But things like NIC drivers, sound card drivers, etc, that are always present are much nicer to have compiled in. The kernel can auto config them at boot for the most part, no need to specify io, irq, etc. Where as things like filesystem support, net protocols, etc are much less of a hassle to load in and out. I tend to compile permantely connect hardware in and software things that are not needed much as modules. -- 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 -

Re: how to reset the console?
OK, here is story to date: 1. I ran lincity and destroyed my VGA consoles. My pretty hi-res textmode was replaced by strange static patterns. This was Wednesday. 2. I asked on the list for help and got several variations of the reset command. All were nice but did not change my VGA mode back. 3. I did some RTFMing and found the commands textmode and savetextmode, designed for exactly my situation, except that I was supposed to have run savetextmode before I hosed my display. Oops. Posted again to list to this effect. 4. Nice guy Ivan offers to run savetextmode on his box and send me the output file. Says he will check for me on the svgalib mailing list and make sure that we don't blow up my monitor. This was today. 5. Nice guy Matan from the svgalib list says that won't work unless Ivan and I have exactly the same card. He says there is a program in the latest svgalib snapshot that might help. 6. I start looking for the latest svgalib snapshot. Don't find it (didn't look hard). See a debian package called svgatextmode and install that. 7. After a little playing (the svgatextmode executable is SVGATextMode. PITB to find. Can I please report that as a bug?) I get an 80x25 console back. But it dies again when I switch to X and back (I've been using X through xdm exclusively since Wednesday :) ). For that matter, it dies again whenever I switch VTs. Not very productive. 8. I go insane with frustration at the whole situation and reboot. 9. Rebooting gives me my pretty high-res console back --- and SVGATextMode promptly switches it back to Plane Jane 80x25. 10. Remove svgatextmode. Scream twice. Reboot again. Normal. Much better. Insanity fading to normal levels. Now that I've obliterated my problem (destruction is so satisfying), I'm curious: could I have used some derivative of vidmode(8) and not had to reboot? Or does that only apply on the next reboot? And if so, is there any way in the base system to hot-switch the video mode? I intend to learn something from this experience or die trying. Thanks for all your help, particularly to nice guy Ivan.

Re: Pentium bug Q
Thomas Ruedas: When booting I noticed the following message: Intel Pentium with F0 0F bug Workaround enabled. Does somebody know what bug this is and what workaround is implemented. R. Brock Lynn: Have a look at the kernel code: (I'm referring to kernel 2.2.3 but it may be exactly the same for 2.0.34 for this particular feature.) See arch/i386/kernel/traps.c I don't know what it means, but there are two F0 0F's mentioned in that file. And a function called trap_init_f00f_bug(void) The other half of that code is in arch/i386/mm/fault.c (at least in 2.0.36) If memory serves (and judging by the source code it does), what happens is that when a particular invalid instruction is executed, the CPU freezes. This is bad because the instruction happens to be a user-level one (ie, anyone may execute it). The workaround is kinda cute: just before freezing, the CPU looks up a value from some table (IDT, I guess). The workaround arranges for that particular part of the table to be permanently swapped out - that's what trap_init_f00f_bug() does. That way, when somebody tries that trick, the memory manager will be invoked, see what's happened and regain control. That bit is part of do_page_fault().

You're only allowed to use letters, numbers, dashes and underscores in filenames in the ip-up.d directory (same goes for cron.daily and so on).

Re: SHELL environment variable.
I was always under the impression that the SHELL envirinment variable was supposed to point to the _current_ shell. In my setup at least, it doesn't. It _always_ points to the login shell (I change to a different shell but the variable remains the same). Bug, feature, user error? Any comments or suggestions welcome. It points to the login shell because it is the login program that sets it. The shells don't do anything with it, they just inherit it from their parent process. See man login. If you want to determine what shell you run, you may be luckier trying to read $0, although that gives rather erratic results as well (e.g. bash gives adds a `-' in front if it is a login shell, csh doesn't seem to recognize this at all).

Re: Kernel: Make config errors (First time compile)
Hi, I think you are installing the old hamm (2.0) package. The current package is slink (2.1). Nothing wrong with the old ones just a reminder. If you prepared to use kernel-package, it depends on perl, dpkg, dpkg-dev, fileutils, libc6-dev and if you install ncurses3.4 may be the libncurses3.4-dev is required. Enjoy!

A file is not always what you think it is.
Follow up on the scripting problems I had... IT WORKS Of course, the solution was simple and it came to me in those early morning hours when you're mind is clear and creativity flows through your veins: I wrote my script under Windblows 95 Background: I have two machines: Pentium 200 desktop running Win95 and a 486-33 notebook on which I installed the Debian 2.1 base system. What I did: - write a script using Notepad under Winblows on the P200. Saved it as a .txt file. - copied it on a DOS formatted disk. Changed the filename to one without the .txt extension. - copied it on my notebook in the directory /root - chmod it, and ran it with the result file not found Apparently a .txt file written under Win95 can be chmod-ed, but not executed. I used ae to write a simple script from scratch under Linux and it worked no problem at all. That makes me wonder: I have to install some packages on the notebook to get the external CD-ROM drive working. If I copy them from the CD-ROM on a DOS formatted floppy and then transfer to the notebook, will I get the same kind of trouble? P.S. This is new to me: I can use apt to install a single package, isn't it? Or do I still have to use dpkg. Basic question, I know, but I did so much reading/researching that my mind is getting a Linux overload right now. Still having fun, though. Hans

3 button mouse
I just bought a new 3 button mouse for the convenience of better cut and paste, and find that I can't seem to make it work. When I first got it, I just pulled the old one and put in the new, and it worked, but only in 2 button mode. So I exited X and ran gpmconfig, which would always hang after asking for a single left click. When I re-ran X, niether mouse would work. I have the old mouse working after re-running gpmconfig with it and re-starting X, but it won't even simulate a third button by clicking both buttons together, anymore. Anyone have a clue for me?

Please let me know, if you have interest in that and/or similar projects. -- ///\\/\\//\\\/\\/\/\/\\\/\//\\\\\\///\\/\/\// Patrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.patoche.org/
Re: MICROSOFT BS FUD
Quoting Mike Barton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Nobody answered your post probably because they couldn't guess from not having any luck why you couldn't just compile the module along with whatever kernel version you're using. I included shell output from both an attempt to load the module and an attempt to compile it. I'm sorry I haven't found that, but only the 16 line message in http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9904/msg01398.html which has the modprobe output.

HELP! Mail program suggestions
Hi all! I'm a pine user (as can be seen from the header of my message), and because of the unclear status and future of this program I would like to switch to another mailer. However I have some special requirements: 1) The program should be free according to the FSG 2) The program should leave the mail in my /var/spool/mail directory until I explicitly require to move it somewhere else (I love XEmacs but it fails in this point :-( ). This requirement results from the fact that I want to be able both: to read my mail at work and to download the not read and not moved messages with fetchmail. 3) Text UI (or two forms of UI - one X based and the second - text based). 4) Good handling of different ISO encodings (at least a possibility of defining the default ISO encoding). 5) Good handling of MIME extensions and attachments. 6) Good folder management, threading of messages, news access ... (it could take hours to type all my wishes :-). Could someone give me a good suggestion what should I try? Thanks for any suggestions Wojtek Zabolotny [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PARIDE almost working (but not quite).
Me again. What I did - Installed Debian 2.1 including base system from 9 floppies on a 486-33 notebook. Selected paride to be a module in the kernel. - Logged in as root. - Did insmod epia to load the protocol module for the Shuttle parallel port CD-ROM I happen to have. - Did insmod pcd after which it gave the message: pcd: pcd version 1.05s, major 46, nice 0 pcd0: epia 1.02, Shuttle EPIA at 0x738, mode 1 (5/3), delay 1 pcd: No CDrom drive found /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/pcd.o: init_module: Device or resource busy - Had a script run to make the device pcd0. - Of course, mounting /dev/pcd0 /cdrom gave an error and namely mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/pcd0 as a block device (maybe 'insmod driver'?) Somebody already pointed out to me that under the 2.0.36 version Linux kernel you can not load two modules for the same parallel port and that maybe there is already a printer module installed. Is this so? How do I check that? How do I gracefully kill that other module? Your hints, tips advice (and money to buy a better notebook) are highly appreciated. Hans

Re: Diald Setup
Russell Rademacher wrote: Okay... I checked the process by ps x and seen that diald is running. Unfortunably, the dial-on demand is not working yet as I tried doing lynx, ftp or ping from root or user account. As for the package version, it is diald_0.16.5-3.deb version. So...any more clues? I mean.. it does not dial-out at all. :) I needed that diald working so that once that is working, I can use the Masq system along with network card so that the network system can use that box to dial out from that box. Mmm, show us results of 'route -n' when diald is running. And look in your /var/log/messages. You can turn on more logging for diald with the 'debug' switch, which could help with that last. I suspect a problem in your 'connect' script, which diald uses to actually dial the provider.
Re: Linux Hardware website??
Here are a couple of sites that might help you piece things together: http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi These I know from the Modem and Printer howtos. There are probably more if you pick through he howtos. hth, kent Shao Zhang wrote: Hi, Does anybody know any good websites that talks and reviews the best hardware and are best supported by linux??

Client side DHCP
I can't seem to find anything on this subject and am wondering if ya'll could help. I need to set up a box to get a dynamic ip from a NT server over the lan. Everything that I've managed to find on dynamic ip is for ppp, will the same methods work for ethernet? Or is there some other obscure little way that I haven't found yet? Thanks. --Dano
RE: Client side DHCP
There is a package called dhcpcd which you configure by giving the interface where the dhcp server can be reached. As far as I remember, version 0.70 (or so) is included in slink but does not support kernel 2.2. For kernel 2.2, you need version 1.3 (or so). This version can be found somewhere on the net (maybe you need to run alien to a redhat package).

Referencing Tables in Latex?
Hi all,
Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but with the recent converstaion about
latex I was wondering if someone could help me? I'm writing a document in
latex and I can use \ref and \label to identify figures fine. So if I put
\ref{something}, it will print the number of the figure called using
\label{something}
However when I try to do the same thing with a reference to a table, it
prints the section the table is in, instead of the number of the table. I can
show the number of tables with \arabic{table}, but when I put \ref{a_table},
it prints the section number of the table instead of the table's number. Eg
2.3.4 instead of 3.
Please help, I'm sure I'm just missing something simple but the documentation
doesn't help :-(
Thanks :-)
