Claro que en mi PC no tengo ningún servicio de red instalado, por lo que no se si las versiones antiguas dan problemas en estos casos. En todo caso, conservar estas versiones no rompe nada grave por lo que probar con ellas no cuesta nada, y si ves que algo deja de funcionar puedes actualizarlo después. Ah!

Procmail y mi torpeza
Ayer me puse a experimentar con procmail y la verdad es que en 15 minutos lo tenía funcionando. Creo que va todo como la seda, pero no consigo que me haga un pequeño truco. Lo que yo pretendo es que me lea un archivo ($HOME/Mail/deb-old), detecte los mensajes duplicados, meta una copia de cada mensaje en $HOME/Mail/deb y pase de los mensajes repetidos. O sea, hacer limpieza. Lo que yo hago es esto: ~-barbwired cat Mail/deb-old | formail -s procmail (obviamente estoy en mi $HOME). Para que esto haga algo, he incluído lo siguiente en mi equivalente al .procmailrc (no he podido evitar montarme una película tremenda con un *rc para cada tipo correo, rc.maillists rc.personal, rc.tests... el caso es que es una pijada, pero me funciona y me da _mucha_ flexibilidad): ~-barbwired vi .procmail/rc.maillists :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 8192000 msgid.cache Esto me hace una base de datos con los message-id de los correos y detecta los duplicados :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] deb Esto es una receta normal y corriente. Y sólo consigo que guarde una copia de los que _no_ están duplicados, pero claro, yo lo que quiero es que me limpie ese buzón, creando uno nuevo sólo con los originales. U. O sea, que me quedo a medias. Parece que si invoco formail con -s es incompatible con el formail -D que le meto al rc.maillists, pero tampoco estoy muy segura. ¿Hay alguna otra forma de que procmail me lea un buzón? ¿Lo que yo pretendo se puede hacer con procmail o me toca hacerlo a mano? Me pongo a temblar cuando pienso que son unos 14.000 mensajes (53 MB). ¿Que de dónde ha salido ese monstruo?

Busco un Linux(MS)Works en modo texto :-)
Holralalala. No se si os acordaréis, pero hace tiempo buscaba programas pare internet en modo texto. Gracias a vuestra ayuda ahora no tengo que tocar nada de ventanas y tajetas gráficas. Ahora, la cosa es que mi padre suele usar un programa para Windows que se llama MSWorks, que es un pequeño paquete que incluye editor de texto, base de datos, hoja de cálculo y alguna pijadilla más. El, tranquilo como cualquiera, sólo usa el editor para escribir mails, y la base de datos para llevar unas cuentas de ciertos asuntos, que luego imprime cada cierto tiempo. Antes de la versión 4.5 que te pide güindows, teníamos la 2.0 para ms-dos. Y estaba realmente bien, porque entre el uso de una y otra, la cosa para mi padre no cambia :-) Así que quería saber si alguien conoce algún programa parecido, en modo texto, que no consuma apenas cpu, que pueda exportar a algún formato normal, como texto puro, y eso, para linux. Y si es GNU, mejor. La razón de no usar dosemu con la 2.0 es que ya que esperamos poder imprimir cosas, seguramente los programas de linux nativos tendrán al menos una opción de imprimir, más o menos usable en cuanto a márgenes, tipos de letra y esas cosas, ¿no?

Subject: smbumount doesn't
I can smbmount-2-2.x a WinNT share to a local mountpoint without any
problem. But at night, our NT administrator has a script running that
logs off everyone that is connected to the NT box, so that the NT's
backup program will run without running into File open errors.
When I get back in the office the next day my mountpoint no longer works
(because I've been kicked off by the NT admin), so I try to remount it,
and the mountpoint can't be resolved. So I try to smbumount (unmount)
it, and again, the mountpoint can't be resolved. I can't do anything
with the directory/mount point until I reboot the computer.
Surely there's a better way to clear the smbfsx glitch than to reboot
the system?
Yes, I could smbumount the share before I get kicked off, provided I
remember to, but I would think there's a more elegant solution.
Thanks for any help!
Thanks; I'll give it a try tomorrow.

so IDE-DMA gets dropped and the interfaces reset, after which the net is

Re: Why use Debian? Why not Red Hat?
On Wed, Sep 01, 1999 at 11:21:36AM +0100, Patrick Kirk was heard to state: I also graduated from Red Hat. Debian installation is a beast but it leaves you with a working system that is idiot proof. Red Hat is an easier installation but things fail and you're left trawling the net resolving dependencies. I attempted an installation of Slink today, and it's been quite a while since I have done a fresh install, but I've been using Debian for quite a while now (since Bo, at least). I too, graduated from RedHat. One thing that got me though. I didn't have a CD handy, but I have a good net link at work, which regularly get's over 200k/s from Australia's best mirror. I figured, I don't need the CD, just the install disk. Now before anyone tells me to RTFM, I had a feeling it wasn't going to work, but I had a bit of time to kill... :) Anyway, I couldn't be bothered doing all the disk images, so I just got the rescue and drivers disks, booted up, repartitioned (the whole, and only HD). I was hoping it might let me FTP the base... Nope, no chance! Then I remembered that some of the mirrors let you NFS mount them, but I couldn't find anywhere a list of those that would, and their NFS-shared paths. I searched the web, the debain site, and the mailing list arcive, but couldn't even find any hints... Is this information available anywhere? Seeing Debian is such an internet-centric (ie., apt) distribution, it would be nice if you could install the whole thing with one the one or two boot disks (I'm sure you can with redhat). Even if the boot disk had a little FTP client (like wget or curl), so you could switch to a VT and put them on that newly made EXT2 partition. Maybe there is a way to do that, but I certainly couldn't work it out. You have an extremely minimal, but network connected, installation, but no way to use that network. Now maybe the boot disks are already too full, but I'm sure *something* could be queezed on. I think it would be a very useful feature. Now I haven't seen the Potato (are we out of Toy Story names yet!?) boot disks, so I have no idea what is on them. It's just a little suggestion, I guess.

Fetchmail not exiting in ip-down
Hi gang, I, like many of us here prolly, use fetchmail to grab my mail when I'm online. As such, I've set up scripts in ip-up.d to start up fetchmail as me to get my mail, and another in ip-down.d to stop fetchmail again when I log off. My script in ip-up.d looks like this: #!/bin/sh /bin/su -c '/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 300 --syslog -F -K -a --smtpaddress \ rei' damon Which works fine, and grabs all my mail, using my ~/.fetchmailrc My script in ip-down.d looks like this: #!/bin/sh su -c '/usr/bin/fetchmail --quit' damon This one doesn't seem to work at all. After I log off, the fetchmail process is still working, and I see fetchmail messages in my xconsole. This isn't a huge problem, but it *should* work, I would have thought. Anyone have any suggestions (yes, the script is executable, and it works if I call it manually from root...)

On Thu, Sep 02, 1999 at 10:53:49AM -0700, Patrick Olson wrote: Make sure you're allowing ident connections. Even if you don't answer them, you want to refuse connections rather than dropping the packets. Some systems will timeout the connection attempt. I'm a little confused here, what is an ident connection? After looking through /etc/services and /etc/protocols, my best guess was you meant the auth port, 113. Is this what you meant? Yes. It's a protocol which allows a system to ask a system with which it has a TCP connection to give it some information about who's on the other end of that connection. This is useful for auditing purposes, although you can only trust the information as much as you can trust the remote site (and some sites refuse to give out any useful information). You may also want to reject packets from IP addresses you own and from the private IP addresses that aren't arriving on appropriate interfaces, and anything going out of your network that doesn't have the IP address of the masquerading host. The -i option is useful for this. I don't actually own any IP addresses, as far as I know. You're right about things arriving on the wrong interface, I'll have to take care of that. I think it's going to significantly increase the number of rules, so I'll wait until I have these right before adding more. If you accept correct local packets first and then ban anything else it's fairly simple, although my firewall trusts local machines entirely so I may be missing something. How would I prevent things going out that don't have the IP address of the masquerading host since it gets a different IP address on ppp0 every time it connects? Can I get away with using localhost? I'm sure I don't want outgoing packets to have the IP address of eth0! What I do is to deny any packets with addresses in my private network. A more paranoid thing would be to use the ip-up and ip-down scripts to add and remove the appropriate rules each time. It's not that much of a problem because the remote end of the link will probably do a fair bit of the work for you. Would something like this work? # allow me to use fetchmail ipchains -A input -d localhost 110 -s pop3.isp.com 110 ! -y -j ACCEPT ipchains -A output -s localhost 110 -d pop3.isp.com 110 -j ACCEPT You can't use localhost like that. Any packets going out over PPP are not going to have a source address of localhost (think about where answers are going to get sent to). Also note that ! is a shell metacharacter, so you need to say '!' rather than !. I'm especially sensitive about e-mail, as I am the only one here who has an e-mail address. I can't block all SMTP, or I wouldn't be able to send. I am trying to avoid letting any of the other computers on the LAN send mail at all, because it would probably look like it was coming from me since they don't have any e-mail addresses. Assuming they can't log into your machine, you could reject all SMTP and POP traffic not on loopback or PPP and control the remote address (but not local) for traffic going over PPP. Similarly, you could control who gets to connect which way. How's this? ipchains -A input -s proxy.isp.com 3128 ! -y -j ACCEPT ipchains -A output -d proxy.isp.com 3128 -j ACCEPT Seems reasonable. A useful trick when building firewalls is to use tcpdump to see what's flowing over the interface and compare that to your expectations. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFShttp://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/ pgpUk9qPGI1Zj.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Mouse configuration
Ron: I am looking at Upgrading and Repairing PCs fifth edition from QUE. BUS A bus mouse is typically used in systems that do not have motherboard mouse port or any available serialports. The name bus mouse is derived from the fact that the mouse requires a special bus interface board that occupies a slot in your computer and communicates with the device driver across the main motherboard bus. So if you don't have a card plugged into your ISA slot then you don't have a bus mouse. Motherboard Mouse Port (PS/2) Most newer PC come with a dedicated mouse port built into the motherboard. Referred as the PS/2 mouse interface. This usually uses a mini-DIN connector like the one used on most keyboards. The book says that the PS/2 uses IRQ12 which is usually free. This allow you to connect other devices to com1 and com2. I believe that the Microsoft mouse uses the serial port (i.e. com1 or com2).

X server 3.3.4 is slow!
Hi! I'm running potato and just upgraded to the SVGA X server (3.3.4). I discovered that it was *extremely* slow -- the screen repaints are very noticeable and every time it repaints, it takes so much CPU that my background MP3 player (or is it the sound driver) jitters horribly. I'm using a SiS 6326 AGP chipset. I know this isn't very well supported by X, but the previous X server I used (3.3.3) didn't exhibit this slowdown problem. As a side note, I had to use `no_bitblt' and `sw_cursor' for either server to work properly (otherwise there would be strange color shifts when an area of the screen is rapidly updated). The 3.3.4 server worked fine without `sw_cursor' but exhibited the terrible slowdown problem. The 3.3.3 server required `sw_cursor' but was otherwise OK. I've temporarily switched the default X server to a copy of the 3.3.3 server. But I'd like to know why the 3.3.4 server is exhibiting this problem? I'd like to use the 3.3.4 server if I could. Also, does anybody know if XFree86 is planning to release a server that can actually support *accelerated* modes (specifically bitblt) on the SiS 6326?? I checked their website but didn't find much info. T
2 cards and a dilemma
Hello everybody. After several months of work, I've persuaded the IT support people at work here to let me have a box on which I could install Debian myself for office use. Until now, it's been a question of `Which do you want: Mac or PC?' So this is something of a departure and an experiment. I'd like the experiment to go well, so that they might be open to such requests in future. The box they're offering me is a Gateway E-4200. Which seemed great, until I searched the debian-user archive, to head off any hardware issues that might arise, and found (from a conversation involving Kent West and others) that this box contains a network card (3Com 905c) whose support is iffy (a driver exists but has not been included in the kernel as of 2.2.12 at least) and a graphics card (ATI Rage 128 AGP) which is not supported as of the 3.3.4 release of XFree86. I think I can finesse the ethernet card difficulty by following the advice offered by Heikki Vatiainen and by Kent West on this list and downloading and compiling the driver module by hand. The graphics card seems more problematical though. The options seem to be: . wait until some upcoming release of XFree86 (3.3.6, 4?) includes support for the card and use console mode in the meantime . pay $100 for a commercial X server like Accelerated X . magically learn that there is now someone on this list who knows how to get the card to run under a currently available version of XFree86 Has anyone any advice? Has anyone had any success with these cards? What experience have people had running Accelerated X under slink? I'd be grateful for any advice. I really don't want to have to say to these people that Debian and/or Linux can't handly the hardware they're offering me. Jim

DHCP - solved!
Many thanks to everyone who helped me getting this to work - amongst others,
Seth, Mark, Phil, Jens, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch.
Turns out that if I tried configuring the LAN NIC first, for some
strange reason dhclient would fail and would take the LAN down with it.
In addition to that, if the NIC had no IP assigned to it, dhclient
would fail with Unable to create file: eth0 (I think).
Here's my (new and improved) /etc/init.d/network (works like a charm!):
ifconfig eth1 up
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.254
dhclient eth1
ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0

Help--potato upgrade flakey with apt-get/dselect
I apologize up front for the length of this post, but am trying to max the info for brave souls who may be able to help me... An upgrade initially using apt-get then finished with deselect has left an unknown number of packages possibly not upgraded. Slink--potato, BTW. The long story: (the big questions are listed at the end, FWIW) An upgrade which ran all night/day has apparently not updated all packages. After initial download-only, I reran apt-get dist-upgrade and most packages installed seemingly with no problems. Then I noted flakey operation of gnome under X, and somehow surmised that the system had been unpacked but not configured. I didn't know about dpkg --configure -a at the time, but got the idea of using deselect. It updated the package lists via apt. I looked at the list (full of U's) and decided to add the 2.2.10 kernel package. In addition to its dependencies, others were noted for other packages. I accepted them, as I have no way to tell the validity of the choices made. Deselect got a newer version of the unstable lists as well, forcing a further download of 36 Mb. Installation seemed to go well, with the unconfigured packages dropping to 2 from 200+. Attempted setup of the kernel package (which dselect never unpacked) failed at make menuconfig concerning ncurses. I tried to remove the older ncurses3.4 package (since the latest was also installed), but dpkg balked. That's when I discovered that sysutils and taper had not been upgraded, apparently. I expect others are the same way. 1) Is there a way to get this to work? Can I redo the apt-get with all the files I downloaded, and simply force every package to be redone?? I have a feeling that something weird happened when I went over to dselect. 2) And why didn't the dist-upgrade not configure things initially? Would dpkg --configure -a be a better choice if it happened again? 3) How do I deal with the ncurses issue. Are any of the potato deb's dependent on the older ncurses3.4? 4) perl-5.004 vs. perl-5.005 ??? Do I trash the former or not? Dselect wouldn't let me remove it... (something to do with those un-upgraded packages??) Should the first step in dselect been to configure packages, without any of the other steps?? Thanks a bunch for any thoughts!! Kenward

The long story: (the big questions are listed at the end, FWIW) An upgrade which ran all night/day has apparently not updated all packages. After initial download-only, I reran apt-get dist-upgrade and most packages installed seemingly with no problems. Then I noted flakey operation of gnome under X, and somehow surmised that the system had been unpacked but not configured. I didn't know about dpkg --configure -a at the time, but got the idea of using deselect. If some package couldn't be downloaded, because of a timeout or something, this will cause trouble with installing other packages as well. Also, it could be that apt-get isn't perfect, and tried upgrading package X before package Y when Y needed to be first. You'll want to note the errors reported, and if you can't figure them out check the list archives. It updated the package lists via apt. I looked at the list (full of U's) and decided to add the 2.2.10 kernel package. In addition to its dependencies, others were noted for other packages. I accepted them, as I have no way to tell the validity of the choices made. Deselect got a newer version of the unstable lists as well, forcing a further download of 36 Mb. Installation seemed to go well, with the unconfigured packages dropping to 2 from 200+. Which 2? Attempted setup of the kernel package (which dselect never unpacked) failed at make menuconfig concerning ncurses. I tried to remove the older ncurses3.4 package (since the latest was also installed), but dpkg balked. That's when I discovered that sysutils and taper had not been upgraded, apparently. I expect others are the same way. You need the -dev package for the latest ncurses for make menuconfig... It's only listed as a Suggests, so you probably missed it in the conflict resolution screen. 1) Is there a way to get this to work? Can I redo the apt-get with all the files I downloaded, and simply force every package to be redone?? I have a feeling that something weird happened when I went over to dselect. i don't think you need to, you just have to get those 2 fixed. Also, you can eventually go through and remove some slink packages (especially libs) that aren't needed under potato. Sometimes the package is renamed between the two, so you get no notice that the old one isn't needed anymore... The only problem is that it takes up disk space, so don't feel you have to rush it. 2) And why didn't the dist-upgrade not configure things initially? Would dpkg --configure -a be a better choice if it happened again? dpkg --configure -a would be good to try. After doing that a few times, note the error messages and take action to correct them. 3) How do I deal with the ncurses issue. Are any of the potato deb's dependent on the older ncurses3.4? See above. 4) perl-5.004 vs. perl-5.005 ??? Do I trash the former or not? Dselect wouldn't let me remove it... (something to do with those un-upgraded packages??) Ah, the Great Perl Upgrade. Once you have your system completely potato, you can remove perl-5.004 without much trouble. This may bring some of those obsolete slink packages out of the woodwork, just look at the dselect conflict resolution screen and see if you really want to keep any that are to be removed... AFAICT, there's only one potato package that hasn't made the Upgrade (netcdf-perl) Should the first step in dselect been to configure packages, without any of the other steps?? Wouldn't have hurt, but probably wouldn't have helped either. - -- finger for PGP public key. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN89tRr7M/9WKZLW5AQFwkQQAlEK/bALi4tf9tOzbcAkOh+UUoqVvwRl3 BqkuMew1HteMNPw37JB3hifDoaIxVBMBpr6sEnRDpr5MzzscD4/Lk73bBhSlddrh s3xKF9JNpgpurMIcpjLYJr98YzykxznvgCrH2m+vZvf+GeumM6Lb0OTFn8P52BfP aNkhvGOS2/s= =CG0d -END PGP SIGNATURE-

No, this is wrong. smbmount don't need samba installed - smbmount is netbios

I think this is a bug of smbumount, but I found a solution - simply use

I did not edit themakefile because my card was not listed, so I just compiled, and installedthe modules. Now I have video, but it's BW, and I don't have sound (thiscould be a OSS problem?). I have made all the odvous changes in xawtv(set every thing to NTSC and Cable) but I still have only BW, sound lessvideo, can some one help? i had no problem with getting my TV card to work in color (Hauppauge WinTV Nicam) but i also had problems with the sound-- make sure that your sound card is installed properly on the right IRQ setting and kernal moduals-- try "insmod sound | less" and see what errors you get etc.. as for the Black White problem, i have no suggestions-- if you do get the sound/color to work though and you have KDE, then try KwinTV which is really cool i'm not sure if you get it on the debian disks because i had it during my suse installation -- M Thurston [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IMAP problems
Hello, At my work we have an slink box running imap 4.4-4, and some WinNT machines with Outlook clients. The Outlook clients connect every minute to the IMAP server to check for new mail. inetd starts an imapd process for that. For some reason, the processes never terminate; when I got to work this morning the server box was almost unusable because of Too many open files, and there were hundreds of imapd processes on it. Is this a bug in imapd or in Micros~1 Outlook, and what can I do about it? Any advice would be appreciated. Please Cc: me as I'm not subscribed to this list. Regards, Pontus Lidman

Re: Fetchmail not exiting in ip-down
I'll assume that /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/fetchmail is executable. You might try adding some paths in the script. I saw this in an example, but I'm not sure why they would be necessary. PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin export $PATH su -c 'fetchmail --quit' whomever I recently wrote a couple tiny scripts in my home directory that call pon/poff and the proper invocation of fetchmail. I think it'd be nice if pppconfig could be run by regular users and all of the necessary configs for accounts could live in each user's home directory. Then a user could connect to their personal account via a script named after the account with on up/down or on/off argument. Of course, there should probably be and /etc/pppconfig file that would enable/disable this. The initial interface settings and modem initialization should probably remain configurable only by root, but users could then be responsible for maintaining their ISP account info (phone, user, password). -- ___ ___ __ _ _ __ |_ ) / -_) _` | ' \ / / \___\__, |_|_|_/___| |___/
hardware configuration questions
I'm trying to get my new hardware completely running under Debian. So far I have encountered two problems. 1) I have no idea how to configure a PCI Soundblaster card. While this is not a major problem I'd like to eventually play music on it. Since I have no access to any recent HOWTO while playing with the machine at home, I don't know if this is a FAQ. 2) I have an IDE CD writer but the only CD writing software I know (cdrecord) wants a SCSI device. Can I go with a fake one here or do I need other software? Hopefully this isn't a FAQ either.
