Re: Un monton de dudas
Hola. Solo te puedo ayudar con lo del correo. El 25 Sep 1999 a las 08:38AM -0500, Camilo Alejandro Arboleda escribio: 1. No tengo ni idea de como empezar con el smail. Tengo una dirección de correo electrónico que me da la univesidad, otra que me da el ISP, y mi hermana tiene una que le da su universidad. Quisiera configurarlas de modo tal que la casilla del root reciba el correo del ISP, mi casilla reciba el correo de la universiad y la casilla de mi hemana el de su universiad. Además quisiera poder enviarle correo a los usuarios locales. Yo uso smail y fetchmail para estas tareas que necesitas. Con fetchmail me traigo el correo de varias cuentas de varios ISPs, que dejo en diferentes usuarios. Lanzo fetchmail como root planificandolo con cron. En el fichero .fetchmailrc de root tengo: defaults set syslog poll pop.ctv.es proto pop3 user andressh pass claveandres is andres here fetchall poll pop.ctv.es proto pop3 user pepilosa pass clavepepi is pepi here fetchall poll pop3.airtel.net proto pop3 user andressh pass claveandres is andres here fetchall Para entregar correo local y hacia internet uso smail. Con smailconfig puedes responder unas preguntas que te permitirán configurar tu servidor de correo local. Debes responder que entregas correo a internet mediante un relay host y poner ahí el nombre del servidor smtp de la conexion que usas a para acceder a internet. Para enviar a los usuarios locales usa como direcciones la forma [EMAIL PROTECTED], y para que los mensajes salientes tengan la dirección de correo adecuada, usa un MUA (Mail User Agent) como Mutt que te permite indicar la linea From especificando: my_hdr From: Andres Seco Hernandez [EMAIL PROTECTED] en el fichero .muttrc (en otros MUA se hace de otra forma, mira el manual del que uses). También puedes usar para esto un mapeo de usuarios locales a direcciones de email que puedes configurar en el MTA (smail, sendmail, o el que uses), pero esto no se ahora como se hace.

En la ayuda del programa pone una ligera explicación sobre el truco que hacen para conseguir el efecto, pero creo yo que no es muy estándar y propietario, por lo que hasta que alguien se añime a hacerle un reverse engineering o algo por el estilo, en Linux no habrá, porque en ningún HOWTO he visto mencionado ese formato, ni la idea de poder hacer algo parecido con otro. :-?

Re: two monitors
hi, Ok guys -- I have a second monitor, and wouldn't mind buying a second video card if it would allow me to use two monitors at the same time. I don't know where to start looking for information on this. as usual http://www.xfree86.org My current video card is an AGP ATI [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am running XFree86 Mach64 3.3.5-1. Do you guys have any suggestions for a second video card (I think it would need to be PCI... :) it is not yet in stable xfree release (3.3.5) but it is planned for Xfree 4.0 release. If you are brave enough you should buy Matrox PCI card, grab latest xfree snapshot (3.9.16) and try it. From 3.9.16 Release Notes: ... 2.5. Multi-head Some multi-head configurations are supported in this release, primarily with multiple PCI/AGP cards. However, this is an area that is still being worked on, and we expect that the range of configurations for which it works well will increase in future snapshots. A configuration that is known to work well in most cases is multiple (supported) Matrox cards. One of the main problems is with drivers not sufficiently initialising cards that were not initialised at boot time. Normally only the primary video card gets initialised at boot time. Some combinations can be made to work better by changing which card is the primary card (either by using a different PCI slot, or by changing the system BIOS's preference for the primary card). We are investigating options for ``soft-booting'' secondary video cards to deal with this problem, and we've had some very encouraging results. 2.6. Xinerama Xinerama is an X server extension that allows multiple physical screens to behave as a single screen. With traditional multi-head in X11, windows cannot span or cross physical screens. Xinerama removes this limitation. Xinerama does, however, require that the physical screens all have the same root depth, so it isn't possible, for example, to use an 8-bit screen together with a 16-bit screen in Xinerama mode. Xinerama is not enabled by default, and can be enabled with the +xinerama command line option for the X server. Xinerama was included with X11R6.4. The version included in this snapshot contains many bug fixes. This is an area that we are still working on, and we expect it to be improved further in future snapshots. Known problems: The Xinerama layout doesn't match the layout specified in the config file's ServerLayout section. It appears that there are still some bugs that cause unexpected behaviour from time to time. Most (all?) window managers are not Xinerama-aware, and so some operations like window placement and resizing might not behave in an ideal way. This is an issue that needs to be dealt with in the individual window managers, and isn't specifically an XFree86 problem. ... Or, should I just buy a new video card that can handle two video outputs? Do such things exist? (Can I afford them? :) have no idea Any hints you have would be appreciated. :) Thanks OK

Re: Getting The Most Out Of APT
Ross, Well, APT seems to be fairly intelligent in how it handles this particular file anyway. Once I did the update I did an apt-get upgrade -s just to see what it would do. It held back like 197 packages and updated 127 existing ones. Most of the ones held back seemed to be involved with actually upgrading from slink to potato. I suspect that if I had issued the command apt-get dist-upgrade it would have done more along the lines of actually upgrading from slink to potato. If one does want to completely upgrade the OS from stable to the unstable branch, would apt-get dist-upgrade actually do that, or would some other procedure need to be done also? or manually, thru dselect? (shudder). ;) Todd Thanks for posting this. When one lists both stable and unstable distributions, who wins (for example, if you use the automatic update procedure)?

This is what I have observed when I am installing packages via apt-get install. No, APT always selects the newest package by version no matter what. The order in the sources.list effects the selection of source for equal versions. For instance if you put two unstable sites then it would prefer the first, only using the second if the first failed for some reason. Jason

Re: A Problem with jadetex
There were quite a few problems with the slink packages of jadetex; it might be easier to upgrade to the relevant potato package. No, the slink version should work fine on a slink system. Mario, can you give me some more details on your system? Assuming you are running standard slink tetex and slink jadetex, all should be well (I use it a lot still). The only reason I can think of for your problems would be if you were using a potato tetex and a slink jadetex, since in potato, tetex moved stuff from /usr/lib/texmf to /usr/share/texmf. After you install jadetex, you should be able to do kpsewhich jadetex.fmt and get a valid response. Can you? -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]URL:http://www.onShore.com/

A simple program behaves differently under mc's terminal and a normal terminal ?
Package: mc
Version: 4.5.1-1.1
I tried to run a simple program with mc's terminal (ctrl+o from mc) and a
normal terminal and got different results.
Is this expected ?
When running under a normal terminal the program (pipe1) produces:
[11:59:17 sigi]$ ./pipe1
[12:02:47 sigi]$ hello world
But with mc's terminal I do not get its output:
[13:48:37 sigi]$ ./pipe1
[14:01:55 sigi]$
It is worth saying that the output is created by a child process.
The code of pipe1, which is mostly taken from a book, is:
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include unistd.h
#define MAXLINE 80
int main(void)
{
int n, fd[2];
pid_t pid;
char line[MAXLINE];
if (pipe(fd) 0)
fprintf(stderr, pipe error);
if ( (pid = fork()) 0)
fprintf(stderr, fork error);
else if (pid 0) { /* parent */
close(fd[0]);
write(fd[1], hello world\n, 12);
} else { /* child */
close(fd[1]);
n = read(fd[0], line, MAXLINE);

}

Drifting /dev/ttyS3 IRQ

/dev/ttyS3 is my modem. The hardware is jumpered for IRQ 5.
I added the following line to /etc/rc.boot/0setserial:

The problem is the irq frequently reverts to 3. This happens after
closing my dial up connection (although not always). Also, starting X
almost always closes my dialup connection (I don't know if this is
related)
Any thoughts???

Re: ports 113 and 88
Hi, It is pretty common to see auth as anything that wants to get an idea of the user running the process will try and use this, for example wb servers (NT especially) and I believe sendmail does it as well. The idea is that you can see the user who is running the process and authenticate from that - pretty broken idea given the 'interesting times' we live in but I guess that when they did the RFC it seemed more sensible. Shouldn't be anything to worry about and you can substantiially slow your connection by not allowing connections for it. There are specific auth implementations you can run on your machine if you want to just supply a canned response each time. Kerberos is a type of authentication system mostly run by large sites with diverse needs. Personally I have never actually run into a site running it... I'm surprised you're seeing it. If you're getting it from one particular site you might want to check out why that is. I'm not aware of any cracks which are common that use the port HTH, Steve On Sun, Sep 26, 1999 at 08:57:48AM +0200, Jean-Yves BARBIER wrote: Hi all, I wonder about the use of the kerberos, 88 and auth, 113 ports?

Re: Drifting /dev/ttyS3 IRQ
*- On 26 Sep, Jonathan D. Proulx wrote about Drifting /dev/ttyS3 IRQ
Hi,
/dev/ttyS3 is my modem. The hardware is jumpered for IRQ 5.
I added the following line to /etc/rc.boot/0setserial:
${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS3 irq 5 port 0x2E8 skip_test autoconfig ${STD_FLAGS}
The problem is the irq frequently reverts to 3. This happens after
closing my dial up connection (although not always). Also, starting X
almost always closes my dialup connection (I don't know if this is
related)
Any thoughts???
Usually when X trips your modem it indicates an IRQ conflict with your
graphics card and modem. If I remember correctly IRQ's are not used in
console mode but are in graphics mode. Most graphics cards that I have
seen tend to use IRQ9(shared with IRQ2). Can you change the IRQ of the
modem to another unused IRQ? What are the results of 'setserial -bg
/dev/ttyS?' and 'cat /proc/interrupts'? Mine are not very consistent:
What is on each port
# setserial -bg /dev/ttyS?
/dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A# ups signal cable
/dev/ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A# palm pilot x10 module
/dev/ttyS2 at 0x6c00 (irq = 2) is a 16650 # mouse on pci serial card
/dev/ttyS3 at 0x02e8 (irq = 5) is a 16550A (spd_vhi) # internal modem

dselect/apt/cdrom
I'm trying to configure /etc/apt/sources.list to use a 2CD 'Official' Debian 2.1 set and seem unable to get the right formulation. All the examples given relate to ftp and http. I want to use apt in dselect to adjust the original installation (for some reason not all slink packages on the second CD show up when I run dselect). Unless I misunderstand my CD, the packages I want to get hold of are in the path /dists/slink/main/binary-i386 (then folders for Admin, Mail etc). The 'Packages.cd' is in /slink. My cdrom is /dev/hdc. As a newbie, I'm doing quite well but am frustrated here. The use of dselect doesn't present any problems - I just can't get at some packages which are on the CDs under slink (but they are recorded in /var/lib/dpkg/status). Would a kind soul put me on the right path please by explaining what simple mistake I'm making with say 'deb file:/dev/hdc/dists/slink/main/binary-i386'. Regards, John. PS. I've been following postings for the past three weeks incl. the recent items re apt - nothing seems to cover my predicament.

You should install the dpkg-multicd package and than choose the multi_cd access methode in dselect.

shutting down X
I use WDM (WINGs Display Manager) instead of xdm to manage X on my slink box. I have noticed this weird thing when shutting down or rebooting my system. After I enter shutdown/poweroff/reboot, the X server is terminated but then I am 'dumped' back to the first virtual console (tty1). I don't see any of the messages like : shutting down XXX shutting down YYY shutting down ZZZ sending HUP siganl to all processes sending KILL signal to all processes However, if I immediately press Ctrl+Alt+F7 right after getting dumped to the first VC, I do see these messages. My question is : why is this not happening be default so that whenever I shutdown/poweroff/reboot the system I should see these termination messages ?? Is this syslog configuration issue or a WDM configuration issue ? I was used seeing this output from RedHat when it shutdown and it didn't require any configuration tweaking. Thanks for any help. -- Salman Ahmed ssahmed AT interlog DOT com
`ping', and name resolution in general, hangs
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my system? At first I assumed it was a bug in the resolver library, and opened a bug against libc6 in Debian potato (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/45/45912.html); but the Debian libc6 maintainer is sure that my system is merely misconfigured. Here's the problem: When I type `ping blarg.net' at a shell, `ping' hangs. I expect it to display PING blarg.net (206.124.128.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 206.124.128.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=62 time=25.7 ms ... Other name resolution also fails. For example, Netscape hangs when trying to visit web pages on machines other than mine. On the other hand, if I type `ping 206.124.128.1', that works fine. So I know that IP and the network card aren't entirely broken. I've never sat around and waited to see if `ping' eventually gets unstuck; I've always given up and hit control-C after no more than perhaps a minute. I'm using potato (that is, the still-unreleased version of Debian GNU/Linux), which I installed by first installing slink (i.e., Debian 2.1) from an official CD-ROM, and then using `apt-get dist-upgrade' from http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main I did that update around 24 September. Here is some information about the broken system: Package: netbase Version: 3.16-2 Package: kernel-image-2.2.9 Version: 2.2.9-2 My network card driver is 3c59x: Sep 24 07:21:13 potato kernel: 3c59x.c:v0.99H 11/17/98 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html Sep 24 07:21:13 potato kernel: eth0: 3Com 3Com Boomerang (unknown version) at 0xb800, 00:50:04:1b:f6:df, IRQ 11 Sep 24 07:21:13 potato kernel: 8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/Autonegotiate interface. Sep 24 07:21:13 potato kernel: MII transceiver found at address 24, status 182d. Sep 24 07:21:13 potato kernel: Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives. This problem didn't always happen, although I don't remember exactly when it started. I know for certain that it didn't happen immediately after I installed slink, nor did it happen immediately after I upgraded to potato the first time. I've also seen this problem on a different installation of slink (on the same machine with the same hardware), but that problem mysteriously went away. I now have both slink and potato on this machine, and slink works flawlessly. Only potato has this name-resolution problem. I haven't noticed any error messages -- certainly none at the shell on which I ran `ping', and none in /var/log. I connect to the Internet via DSL, using a Cisco 675 router, which is a little grey box that sits on the floor (the phone company gave it to me when I signed up for DSL). I have a phone cord that connects the router and my phone jack; I have an Ethernet cable that connects the router and my network card. The router is quite configurable, and perhaps its configuration is relevant: * I've got it set to act as a DHCP server, although since I don't know how to make Debian use DHCP, I've told Debian to use a static IP address. Since I only have one computer, there is no risk of having two IP addresses conflict. * It's doing something called `network address translation', which, as I understand it, means that my machine appears to the outside world to have a different IP address than what the machine thinks. That is (as you can see below in my network configuration files), my machine thinks its IP address is 10.0.0.2, but the outside world uses 206.124.128.30 (that address might change from time to time, because the router might be a DHCP client of my ISP). Also, if I were to connect other machines to the router (with an Ethernet hub), they would get IP addresses like 10.0.0.3, 10.0.0.4, etc.; but they would *all* appear to the outside world as 206.124.128.30. It would appear that this would cause total confusion, but it doesn't; somehow this `network address translation' keeps things from getting confused. I don't understand how it does this, but it seems to work OK. (The place I work used to have a similar setup; they had five machines connected to the Internet, all sharing an outside IP address; the machines all worked fine.) The one tradeoff that I know of is that nobody in the outside world can connect to any servers that I run, because the network address translation apparantly futzes with port numbers. For example, my SMTP server listens on port 25, but someone who tries to connect to that port using my outside IP address 206.124.128.30 won't be able to. Presumably, if they could guess the port to which the router has mapped port 25, they could connect to that port. There may be some more information about the configuration of this box that is relevant. Please feel free to ask me about it, if you think it would help. Perhaps some of the following network configuration files are relevant: /etc/resolv.conf:

Eric, the one change that tcpdump does is send your network card into promiscuous mode.

Re: shutting down X
*- On 26 Sep, Salman Ahmed wrote about shutting down X I use WDM (WINGs Display Manager) instead of xdm to manage X on my slink box. I have noticed this weird thing when shutting down or rebooting my system. After I enter shutdown/poweroff/reboot, the X server is terminated but then I am 'dumped' back to the first virtual console (tty1). I don't see any of the messages like : shutting down XXX shutting down YYY shutting down ZZZ sending HUP siganl to all processes sending KILL signal to all processes However, if I immediately press Ctrl+Alt+F7 right after getting dumped to the first VC, I do see these messages. My question is : why is this not happening be default so that whenever I shutdown/poweroff/reboot the system I should see these termination messages ??

Re: `ping', and name resolution in general, hangs
On 26 Sep 1999, Eric Hanchrow wrote: Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my system? At first I assumed it was a bug in the resolver library, and opened a bug against libc6 in Debian potato (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/45/45912.html); but the Debian libc6 maintainer is sure that my system is merely misconfigured. Here's the problem: When I type `ping blarg.net' at a shell, `ping' hangs. I expect it to display PING blarg.net (206.124.128.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 206.124.128.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=62 time=25.7 ms ... Other name resolution also fails. For example, Netscape hangs when trying to visit web pages on machines other than mine. On the other hand, if I type `ping 206.124.128.1', that works fine. So I know that IP and the network card aren't entirely broken. I've never sat around and waited to see if `ping' eventually gets unstuck; I've always given up and hit control-C after no more than perhaps a minute. This part I can sort of help you with. The hang is because ping is trying to resolve the host name. It will time out in about 90 seconds if I remember right. (I know, it seams a LOT longer then that.) Make sure your /etc/resolv.conf points to the correct name servers, and if you are not running a local name server, make sure you list any hosts on your local network in /etc/hosts. Also check that your /etc/hosts.conf file is correct. It should say something like: order hosts, bind I hope this gets you pointed in the right direction... Mikkel

If you issue 'cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV console' it will create the device
file console. It will behave in exactly the same way that tty0 does as
specified in the console man page. Either one will put its output on
the currently active console. Since tty7 was the last active console
then the output is sent there.
The only ramification of having it symlinked to tty1 is that all system
messages that are destined for console get sent to tty1 regardless of
the current console activity or who is logged into tty1. I prefer this
since I like to see the shutdown messages when I have to shutdown.
I don't know which kernel RH 5.2 was based on, was it 2.0.x or 2.2.x?
Apparently the console device was not around in the 2.0.x days, which
Debian 2.1 is based on, so a symlink was used then. In 2.2.x kernels
it was moved to a device file.

how it is makes a symlink for 2.0.x kernels and a device file for 2.2.x

makedev tty0 c 4 0 $cons
# console

Re: hd to hd copy?
There's been some discussion recently of how to move partitions around. You might search the archives. A fresh install is not required! One of the biggest gotchas to moving around your partitions will be modifying your /etc/fstab and LILO so you can reboot properly. First, you'll want to decide how to partition the new drive. Then do so. Then mount each partition in turn that you want to use and do something like the following (other methods work as well) $ mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb1 /mnt $ cd /var # for instance $ tar cf - . | (cd /mnt; tar xvpf -) Then edit your /etc/fstab to add something like: /dev/hdb1 /varext2defaults0 0 If you move your / and /boot around you'll have to update your lilo configuration and then run /sbin/lilo. Suggested reading: mount, tar (or cpio), fstab, lilo, lilo.conf, fdisk, http://www.pathname.com/fhs You should probably do this in single user mode. Also, you might make your changes incrementally. For instance, try moving something non-critical like /usr/local and then make sure everything is working okay. Note, you need to maintain empty directories under / as your mount points. -- +---++-+---++-+---++-+ | YOUR AD HERE1.900.FOO.BARZ | +-+---++-+---++-+---++

The problem is the irq frequently reverts to 3. This happens after
closing my dial up connection (although not always). Also, starting X
almost always closes my dialup connection (I don't know if this is

I had the IRQ reversion problem when I was had kernel serial

first by putting 'serial' in my /etc/modules, but now I just
compile serial support directly into the kernel.
