Re: IP FIJA CON DOMINIO IGUAL A ...
Hola. El 25 Oct 1999 a las 03:30PM +0200, Ángel Carrasco escribio: Es posible que tenga que ver un servidor de correo cuya IP fija sufre un enrutado por parte del servidor de internet. Este cada 15 minutos le intenta lanzar el correo. Para ello, me comentan dos cosas. En el named debo poner un registro mx con la IP fija. Y luego Sendmail con la opción ETRN. Si, lo de la IP fija creo que es absolutamente necesario. El ETRN lo puedes enviar desde donde quieras contra el servidor de correo que mantiene el spool de correo para el dominio que te interese cuando tu servidor de correo no esta conectado a internet, por ejemplo, mediante una linea bajo demanda. Mientras no estes conectado, los mensajes llegaran a tu proveedor, al servidor de correo externo, y cuando si estes conectado, directamente a ti. Cuando conectes, deberias enviar un ETRN nombredominio.com al servidor de correo externo, para que inicie una conexión contra ti para entregar los mensajes que hayan podido llegar durante el tiempo en que no has tenido conexión. Te puedes fijar de los registros MX de DNS de cualquier dominio con NSLOOKUP. Para ello, lanza NSLOOKUP - DIRIPSERVIDORDNSCERCANOATI, teclea en su prompt Set type=MX y despues un nombre de dominio que te parezca, midominio.com. Lo normal será que veas al menos 2 registros MX con diferente prioridad (menor número = más prioridad) con los nombres de los servidores de correo SMTP que reciben mensajes para ese dominio. El de menor número (mas prioridad) deberá ser el tuyo de llamada bajo demanda, y el otro el de tu ISP. Normalmente se encargan los ISPs de este tema. El comando ETRN lo puedes mandar con Fetchmail, aunque yo tengo un script en perl muy sencillito que tambien lo hace. Supongo que sendmail tambien tendra forma de hacerlo, pero no lo conozco. Yo lo uso con Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, que cuando está en la parte interior de una red con proxy, no puede enviar ETRN al servidor SMTP externo (un poco chapucilla, pero así es), por lo que tuve que hacer un script perl para el asunto. Corre en NT y Linux, aunque creo que es más limpio Fetchmail.

AMPLIADO: Tengo un logrotate tocando las narices... ¿qué hago?
Respecto al mensaje este, acabo de descubrir (creo) el problema. En el /etc/logrotate.conf, me incluye lo que haya en /etc/logrotate.d/, y ahí hay un fichero del leafnote, con la opción compress. Tras hacer un ps -aux me percaté de que había un gzip -9 log.1.gz.2.gz.3.gz.4.gz.5.gz o algo parecido (no exagero, parece ser que le había dado por comprimirse recursivamente, y con el 9). Así que he matado el logrotate, quitado lo del compress, y ahora voy a ver que guarrada me ha hecho en /var/log/news. En concreto, hace tres minutos que le di a abrir la carpeta con el mc, y todavía sigue 'trabajando'. Ya que veo que eso no tiene fin, ¿puedo borrar directamente el directorio news y crear otro desde cero? --- Hola. Ayer me pasó, y hoy vuelve a ocurrir.

postgresql install problem solved
I have been unable to install postgresql and I did a search for postgresql on Google's Linux search engine and I found a HOWTO which gave a clue about the problem. I thought I should remove the user postgres from my /etc/passwd because the HOWTO indicated that the installation should not find a user postgres already in the password file. I removed that user and it seems that did the trick :) The HOWTO is for RPM versions but I thought this would apply to Debian packages also. -- Andrew - GnuPG Public KeyID: 0x48109681 *we all live downstream*

Re: potato auto fsck
Has anyone noticed any oddities with the latest update to potato's e2fs programs?

I've reinstalled the e2fs package and running e2fsck manually shows the file systems to be fine.

Re: restart exim
How do you restart exim after changing exim.conf? The manual says to send the daemon process a SIGHUP signal, but I can't find the daemon process pid. As far as I know, the defualt setup is to have exim running only when it is needed. i.e, it might not run in daemon mode on your machine. There for, you probably do not need to do anything in order to have your changes take effect.

I have upgraded from 2.0.36 to 2.2.1 without appearing to cause
any great disasters, and with surprising results. At present, I boot
from a floppy and it now takes 36 secs to reach the log-in screen
instead of 3mins 50 secs. So far as I can tell everything works very
well and the speed is far greater than I need - to me it seems
blindingly fast.
i noticed that too when i first remade my boot floppy. It depends on the
particular command used to create the thing, i don't know the specific
details.
However, I have what seems to be one potential problem, some
cleaning-up to do (Ihope its only that) and a few questions to
take my knowledge a little further.
Firstly, when I boot, I do not get an opportunity apply any
parameters - the reference to (I think) Peter Anwin and the boot
prompt do not appear - the word 'loading' and a fast moving line
of dots then right into the 'init' and up comes the log-in screen. (No
time to pick up my coffee mug). What have I omitted? I don't know
what will happen if 'rescue' is needed. After 'make config', 'make
dep', and 'make clean' I used 'make bzdisk' which gave me the disk
I now use for booting.
Check your lilo.conf, as others have mentioned. Although, if you're using
a boot floppy all the time this may or may not be applicable (i boot
direct from my hd)
The kern.log now seems basically very clean to me - the only items
I do not understand are 'cannot find map file' and 'work around ISA
DMA hangs' followed by 'activating ISA DMA hang work arounds'
- I presume the latter two just show a correction working.
When you compile a kernel manually, you have to copy the System.map file
from the base directory of the kernel source into /boot. I'd recommend
renaming it to System.map-2.2.1 at the same time.
I find some files confusing and am not sure what I should get rid of.
/usr/src now contains kernel-source-2.2.1.tar.gz (1.3M which I put
there) and a directory kernel-source-2.2.1 which includes vimlinuz
(1.3M) dated Oct 25.
You can delete kernel-source-2.2.1.tar.gz if you want to. If you ever need
it again, it should still be on the CD.
You should keep the kernel-source-2.2.1 directory for patching.
/usr/include/linux still has Oct 5 date (my original installation).
i'd leave that as-is. i suspect that's the kernel headers installed by the
libc6-dev package.
/ has vmlinuz (19 Bytes) linked to /boot/vmlinuz also dated Oct 5
You copied the vmlinuz into boot as stated in the kernel docs? Good.
Although, i'd call it vmlinuz-2.2.1 to make it easy to tell which kernel
version it is. If you decide to rename it, make sure to fix the symlink in
/.
The symlink in / isn't technically necessary, but if it always points to
your current vmlinuz in /boot, you then don't have to edit lilo.conf every
time you change the kernel. Just retarget the link and rerun lilo.
i also have a vmlinuz.old symlink pointing to the previously installed
kernel version. In my lilo.conf, i have an alias set up to boot this, just
in case a new kernel refuses to work i can still boot the old.
and /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36 is 715K again Oct 5.
This is your old kernel. Once you're sure 2.2.1 works fine for you, you
can delete it if you want. As i mentioned above, i always keep a
known-stable kernel linked from lilo.conf.
If there is nothing sinister arising out of the above, I propose to apply
patches 2 to 7 and then on to 12.
Go to 13, it fixes some problems with 12. In particular, i wouldn't bother
to compile 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12, just do the patching.
I have started to prepare for this but find a confusion in Brian
Ward's Linux Kernel HOWTO. Under 5.1 'Applying a patch', after the
initial steps, it says 'If everything went right, do a 'make clean',
'config', and 'dep' as described etc' Do I take it I should follow
that order?
I'd recommend to follow these steps if you insist on doing it manually:
1) Backup the .config file
2) 'make mrproper'
3) Patch the thing. Watch for rejects. Fix them if they're important.
4) Restore the .config
5) 'make oldconfig' or your favorite of {menuconfig,xconfig,config}
6) Do exactly what you did after 'make config' to compile this one.
Although, instead of all that i'd use make-kpkg (from the kernel-package
package). It takes care of System.map, those symlinks in /, and can be
managed with dpkg/dselect.
1) 'make-kpkg clean'
2) Patch it, just like above.
3) 'make oldconfig' or your favorite of {menuconfig,xconfig,config}
4) 'make-kpkg --rev revision kernel-image'
People will give you much conflicting information about what to use
for this parameter. i personally use something along the format of
2.2.11-anomie.1. I should use an epoch, something like
3:2.2.11-anomie.1.

Re: Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 for x86 Installation Problem
Hi Robert Hendy I missed your post Hendy but did have this one from Robert. It was about 1 or 2 months ago I installed this way. Are you stuck after your selection of 4.harddisk? As I recall after selecting harddisk a screen came up with where is the files located. In my case I had them in /hda1 . Somehow installation automaticlly mounted this after I showed them where the files where. Dean Robert J Cristel wrote: Hi Hendy, I enjoyed your informative post. I found it very interesting because I am having exactly the same problem.

Installing Linux (RedHat) on NT 4.0
Hi all! I know this has been brought up a couple of times, but I would really be happy if any of you could help me with this.

Re: boot and shutown both suddenly getting delayed
Im having a similar problem on bootup, since about 4-5 days ago, ive found that if any other ext2 file systems ( bar /, swap ) are mounted thru fstab, bootup just sits at mounting the file systems The problem automagically dissapears when i disable the other partitions being mounted at boot by using noauto etc. ( problem is repeatable and with different kernels including 2.0.36 as originally installed ?). Im keeping up with potato, ( yeah i know unstable, but its probably safer to keep up with new libs this way ;), and its still a lot easier to keep running than NT grin ) I suspect it has something to do with a recent update ??. Parallelizing fsck v1.16 22-10-1999 seems to be the last command printed to the console when this happens and it never finishes mounting all drives. Running a manual e2fsk reports no funnies and the system behaves normally when i mount them manually I have not noticed any problems on shutdown cheers Anthony Campbell wrote: I've suddenly started experiencing long delays in both boot and shutdown. During boot it gets as far as mounting local file systems... not mounted anything. It then pauses for several minutes before finally continuing, after which the system seems to work normally. On running shutdown, it proceeds as far as sending the KILL message after which it again pauses for several minutes before continuing. The other symptom is that after all this the date gets set back to 1 Jan 1990. I know this is very bizarre; can anyone syggest what could have happened?

Re: postgresql install problem solved
Pollywog wrote: I have been unable to install postgresql and I did a search for postgresql on Google's Linux search engine and I found a HOWTO which gave a clue about the problem. I thought I should remove the user postgres from my /etc/passwd because the HOWTO indicated that the installation should not fin d a user postgres already in the password file. I removed that user and it seems that did the trick :) The HOWTO is for RPM versions but I thought this would apply to Debian packages also. The Debian preinst script checks for the existence of postgres in /etc/passwd and creates it if it does not exist. If it does exist, it uses the home directory named in /etc/passwd as the POSTGRES_HOME directory. If you have an existing installation, you should not remove the user from /etc/passwd. If you are _newly_ installing postgresql 6.5.2 or later, there may be a problem because base-passwd still makes the home directory /var/postgres whereas it should now be /var/lib/postgres.

Re: Help Please, potato ne2000 install problem
Help please. I am trying to install from the latest unstable on a machine with a NE200 network card. During the initial boot session, I select this module, and configure networking, and am able to access the network. However after the first reboot, the network does not come up. ifconfig -a does not find the eht0 device. Atempting to load the ne module by hand at this point results in unresolved symbols. What am I doing wrong? 1) Is it a PnP NIC ? 2) Do you have entries for the NIC at /proc/ioports and /proc/interrupts ? 3) I would try the Ethernet HOWTO. 4) Hopefully someone else will be more helpful.

I added the following command to my root crontab (type: crontab -e): 1 0 * * * /usr/sbin/rdate ntp2.usno.navy.mil $HOME/tmp/out 21 This updates the local clock once a day which is more than is probably needed ...

Debian Linux vs BSD
Hi, Anyone know any differences between FreeBSD and (debian) Linux? I currently am using debian and am pretty happy with it. My ISP uses FreeBSD. The Linux newsletter mentioned the super secure version of BSD called OpenBSD. Has anyone worked with either of these ? Are they comparable to Debian ? -paul - Double E Solutions Attn: Paul McHale 4912 Effingham Dayton, Ohio 45431 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: 937-253-7610 Mobile: 937-371-2828 Fax:413-215-3232 Home: 937-253-6260 (anytime) -

Netscape vs M$ IE (Re: Sun goes...)
We shouldnt cheat outselves. M$IE is much better than NS and there are plenty of users which will chose it if it only will came available on Linux. Some day gzilla may came the best browser in the world but if M$ make port of IE before this time it can make a lot of mess in the free software community i used to like IE more teh NS (back in 3.x) but ever since 4.x ive been devoted to NS. all the security problems and that whole activeX thing bugs me. that and the fact that i got mod_roaming for netscape, to update my prefs/bookmarks/etc so my 500bookmarks are always available wherever i may be. only thing i'd chjange about netscape is make different binaries for each app(composer/navigatgor/mail/news) so if one crashes it doesnt bring all of em down. ActiveX is easy to set off. I dont think NS is more secure than IE (IE's security is more customizable and althru it had dumb defaults one can make it reasonably secure by chosing proper options) And IE is more efficent. I could have on M$WIN/IE box 20+ pages (waiting for others to load) and did it often (list archives for ex) With Linux/NS its difficult to have 5 pages opened at the same time I also dont need mailer inside a browser I've seen security related electronic bulletins almost fully devoted to M$ IE bugs and security holes. One common complain is that many of these new holes or bugs had already been reported in earlier versions of M$ IE, having been acknowledge by M$, promised to fix, but never fixed. If that's so, it looks to me as if M$ IE is becoming a big collection of bugs and holes, and every new version therefore carries the old as well as the new (and probably some new features as well). The nicest feature for Netscape, IMHO, is that I can have Mutt as my Netscape's mailer ;-) The worst, is that it crashes almost always it encounters something in java... and even worst, it's getting used to crash X with it! I'd like to try other graphical browsers, but there are not that many around. I tried installing Sun's HotJava... to no success. Meantime, I most times have to resort to good old Lynx.
