imwheel
I still am having problems getting my wheel mouse to work in Netscape and other programs. Several weeks ago I downloaded imwheel and added the following code to my ~/.Xdefaults file. This caused the wheel to work like a third button, but it also caused the undesired result of limiting the range of fonts available to me in my Netscape display: !## NETSCAPE Netscape*drawingArea.translations: #replace\ : ArmLink() \n\ : ArmLink() \n\ ~Shift: ActivateLink() \n\ ~Shift: ActivateLink(new-window) \ DisarmLink() \n\ Shift:ActivateLink(save-only) \ DisarmLink() \n\ Shift:ActivateLink(save-only) \ DisarmLink() \n\ : DisarmLinkIfMoved() \n\ : DisarmLinkIfMoved() \n\ : DisarmLinkIfMoved() \n\ : DescribeLink() \n\ : xfeDoPopup()\n\ : ActivatePopup() \n\ Ctrl: PageUp()\n\ Ctrl: PageDown()\n\ Shift: LineUp()\n\ Shift: LineDown()\n\ None: LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()\n\ None: LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()\n\ Alt: xfeDoCommand(forward)\n\ Alt: xfeDoCommand(back)\n Netscape*globalNonTextTranslations: #override\n\ Shift: LineUp()\n\ Shift: LineDown()\n\ None:LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()\n\ None:LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()\n\ Alt: xfeDoCommand(forward)\n\ Alt: xfeDoCommand(back)\n Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

Re: How do I change which logfiles are rotated when?
HI all, >Look in /etc/cron.daily/ and /etc/cron.weekly/ for the invocation >of syslogd-listfiles, and the rotation frequency. >>Hi, >>The logfile rotation stuff makes use of syslogd-listfiles, which >>claims in its man page to be controlled by /etc/syslog.conf >>Unfortunately, I can't find anything in man syslog.conf, or the file >>itself that mentions what it is about an entry in /etc/syslog.conf >>that flags it as requiring a certain frequency of rotation. Just reading over this, I want to share what i have done, and see if anyone else is doing the same. Look at the /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd and /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd files. The way debian rotates logs is a little tricky. I have edited my syslog.conf file to do the following: syslog.*-/var/log/syslog daemon.*-/var/log/daemon.log kern.* -/var/log/kern.log user.* -/var/log/user.log #mail.* -/var/log/mail.log #news.* -/var/log/news.log #uucp.* -/var/log/uucp.log #cron.* -/var/log/cron.log #lpr.* -/var/log/lpr.log Comment\uncomment these out at will. This way... each facility is being logged to its own file. Then you can decide which ones you want rotated daily, and which ones you want rotated weekly. ie. in my /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd file i have the following: savelog -u root -g adm -m 640 -c 7 /var/log/auth.log >/dev/null savelog -u root -g adm -m 640 -c 7 /var/log/lastlog >/dev/null and in my /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd file i have the following: savelog -g -adm -m 640 -u root -c 4 /var/log/syslog >/dev/null savelog -g -adm -m 640 -u root -c 4 /var/log/daemon.log >/dev/null savelog -g -adm -m 640 -u root -c 4 /var/log/kern.log >/dev/null savelog -g -adm -m 640 -u root -c 4 /var/log/user.log >/dev/null I basically commented out the little if/then loop that uses the sysklogd-listfiles command to see which log files to rotate.. it doens't work too well because you can only specify either --all, --auth, or --weekly. If you need more control (like i did) then you have to put the savelog commands in manually. Regards, Marc-Adrian Napoli Connect Infobahn Australia +61 2 92811750

Removing all SCSI drivers except mine from potato images
Hi, I've needed to use the modified set of images for slink that are at: http://www.debian.org/~adric/aic7xxx/slink/5.1.19/ , which have all the SCSI drivers removed except for the one for Adaptec aic7xxx SCSI cards. Is there anyone here who might be able to help me get something similar done with potato and a 2.2.x kernel? The person who made the images from the site above told me he wouldn't be able to do that since the images wouldn't be able to fit on a floppy if he did modify them. What if we just changed them, but I'd run the installation off a DOS partition with install.bat? I'm becoming very desperate here. An upgrade from slink to potato still is causing me a lot of problems while the Corel Linux installation won't start (boot images bring up the graphical installation screen, but after floppy disk activity stops, it doesn't try to look for anything on my cd-rom drive or harddrive to continue). This is really frustrating because I didn't have these problems before at all and I haven't changed any of my hardware. Could the Debian potato folks have made any changes to it in the past month or so that would make an slink to potato upgrade troublesome? It all seems to come down to PCMCIA and the module stuff. That keeps on sticking itself into my slink installation. Removing the pcmcia-cs package and putting it on hold through dselect before upgrading has gotten rid of the long list of: depmod: /lib/modules/2.0.36/pcmcia/SOMETHING.o is not owned by root while doing the dist-upgrade/upgrade, but when I restart that still comes up during the bootup process. Going straight to potato sounds like my last hope. -- Bart Szyszka [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:4982727 B Grafyx http://www.bgrafyx.com L.J.R.

I am using exim for sending and fetchmail receiving mail. So its easy to compose mail on my machine and exim delivers it. At the same time (to save money) fetchmail is started, when the link to my ISP is up. To see if you can access your telnet-account-machine try telnet 25. That lets your telnet connect to port 25, which is the mail port. If this works, you can setup your programs, connect to your ISP, uni, whatever and let the programms get the mail.

The total contents of your .forward under Exim should be:

Even better is to get rid of the .forward and have Exim recognise
that you are using procmail as an LDA by inserting the following
director and transport in exim.conf:
The director:
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail"
user = ${local_part}
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add

The transport:
procmail:
driver = localuser
require_files = ${local_part}:${home}/.procmailrc

Voila! Exim will see that you have a .procmailrc in your $HOME and
automagically invoke procmail as an LDA.

VPN setup
Hi we are planning to establish a VPN using cisco routers to do PPTP (GRE). There is a debian firewall at our end which has 3 network cards.. one connects to our isp via isdn, the second is for our DMZ quarantine zone, and the third is for our local network. Where would be the best place to setup the cisco router? would it be in the DMZ? Debian version is old 1.3 with kernel 2.0.34 which uses ipfwadm as opposed to the more secure ipchains...at present i am not too sure how to upgrade to use ipchains so i am temporarily using our current setup so as to quickly establish the VPN...at a later date i will look into upgrading to a newer Debian version/kernel that supports ipchains. I do not think we need ipmasquerading as we connect to the outside with a registered address via the first ethernet card... the following ipfwadm commands is what i am going to add to the ipforwarding rules : # Allow the PPTP control channel in and out. ipfwadm -I -a accept -W eth1 -V 200.200.200.200 -P tcp -S 199.0.0.2/32 -D 222.0.0.2/32 1723 ipfwadm -O -a accept -W eth1 -V 200.200.200.200 -P tcp -D 199.0.0.2/32 -S 222.0.0.2/32 1723 # Specify the acceptable clients explicitly for tighter security. # Note that this is too open since we're forced to # specify "-P all" rather than "-P 47" or "-P 50"... # Allow the PPTP data channel and IPsec ESP traffic in and out. ipfwadm -I -a accept -W eth1 -V 200.200.200.200 -P all -S 199.0.0.2/32 -D 222.0.0.2/32 ipfwadm -0 -a accept -W eth1 -V 200.200.200.200 -P all -D 199.0.0.2/32 -S 222.0.0.2/32 Are there any other considerations that i have not thought of...? i appreciate your help as VPN/firewalling is new and slightly cryptic to me. thanx

Mail problems and procmail
Okay, I checked my /var/log/exim/mainlog file and it turns out that exim (?) doesn't like my .forward file. Here's the log entry: 1999-11-24 11:19:43 11qhx9-FY-00 ** |"IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #mwagnon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> D=userforward T=addr ess_pipe: "IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #mwagnon" command not found for address_pipe transport 1999-11-24 11:19:43 11qhx9-FY-00 Frozen (delivery error message) I'm using the .forward from the Mail Filtering FAQ (and I tried several others listed there), and this worked before (on another potato machine). Should I be looking into filtering/forwarding from within exim like a previous thread discussed? I can send mail to other local accounts (with no .forward files in the other account's home dir) and I can send to remote addresses. Does anyone have any suggestions? Bail on the .forward? Thanks a LOT for the help.
Graphics Support for I752
I have a computer with onboard AGP video. Motherboard is a AOpen MX3W-L. The graphics processor is an Intel I752. There is 2 MB video RAM which appears to be borrowed from system RAM ... although the option to modify the amount of video RAM doesn't appear in the BIOS??? The motherboard is an AOpen MX3W-L. The SVGA server is supposed to support the I740 so I figured it was worth a shot. The best I have got so far is 800x600x16 with the VGA16 server. I checked SUSE's site hoping they might have a server for I752 but I didn't see anything ... perhaps it's just a configuration issue? I've been trying with xf86config and XF86Setup ... xf86config always gets me better results but still no better than the 800x600 I mentioned. Is there a server that can support the I752 chip in SVGA mode? FWIW, this system actually has Corel Linux but that it ships with the same 3.3.5 server as potato. Any ideas? Thanks, Fraser

X server fatal error: can't find fixed font!
I upgraded my XFree to 3.35 from slink without having installed the slink one ( I had had to make a reinstallation because of a mistake while root). Any way, when I started startx after runnig the xf86config, it couldn't satrt any server, complained about fonts not found, asked to run mkfontdir, which I did. After that I tried again and the the complain was about "fixed font not found". There was earlier a message from Shaul Karl about that, where he said he had the same problem, and that he fixed it by copying xfonts-base.alias to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias from /etc/X11/fonts/misc/. Well, what I have there is a file called xfonts-base.alias.dpkg-new, so I can't repeat his cure. What should I do? Please help.

Ok, here's my shoot at it using `gri'
http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/math/gri.html
http://www.phys.ocean.dal.ca/~kelley/gri/
(See http://www.debian.org/~psg for a pointer to a slink version)
Note that gri, like gnuplot I assume, doesn't have the concept of a
bar chart. Yet you can easily program it to do what you want (and
further customize fonts, line widths, colours, etc)
Assume the two data files:
--- bar.dat ---
15
13.5
18
5
10.2
--- bar.dat ---
--- bar.labels ---
widget
bidget
squidget
midget
didget
--- bar.labels ---
Run the following bar.gri file like so:
$ gri bar.gri
to produce bar.ps
--- bar.gri ---
set x margin 5
set y margin 8
set x axis 0 10
set y axis 0 20
set x size 10
set y size 15
.xLeft. = 1
.toggle. = 0
open bar.dat
open bar.labels
while 1
read from bar.labels
read \label
if ..eof..
break
end if
read from bar.dat
read .val.
set color hsb {rpn .xLeft. 1 - 6 /} 1 1
draw box filled .xLeft. 0 {rpn .xLeft. .9 +} .val.
set color black
draw box.xLeft. 0 {rpn .xLeft. .9 +} .val.
sprintf \.val. "%.1lf" .val.
draw label "\.val." centered at \
{rpn .xLeft. .45 + xusertocm} \
{rpn .val. yusertocm .2 +} cm
if .toggle.
draw label "\label" centered at \
{rpn .xLeft. .45 + xusertocm} \
{rpn ..ymargin.. .7 -} cm
.toggle. = 0
else
draw label "\label" centered at \
{rpn .xLeft. .45 + xusertocm} \
{rpn ..ymargin.. 1.2 -} cm
.toggle. = 1
end if
.xLeft. += 1
end while

Controlling access to PPP - server
Hi all I'm trying to organize "private" ppp - server on debian mashine. I've installed 3 modems on ttyS0 - ttyS2, mgetty with AutoPPP configured and pppd (ver 2.3.5-2). I've created 3 option files (/etc/ppp/options.ttyS0, ...,S2) with lines like xxx.xxx.xxx.8:xxx.xxx.xxx.9 in options.ttyS0 xxx.xxx.xxx.8:xxx.xxx.xxx.10 in options.ttyS1 xxx.xxx.xxx.8:xxx.xxx.xxx.11 in options.ttyS2 I've also created /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file containing clients ID's and passwords Everything works OK. But now I'd like to select which user can connect to which modem. As Each modem is assigned its own ip address I try to specify user's personal IP address in chap-secrets file. Now when user try to connect to another modem he should be anable to configure IP as IP-address provided foe modem in options file differs from one allowed for him. The problem is that when such user connects to another modem he is assigned IP address allowed for him in chap-secrets overriding option.ttyS? file and connection is allowed ! May be I'm trying to do this in a wrong way? Can anybody suggest me how can I achieve such control of ppp - users? TIA Alex

eterm 0810 and backgrounds
I notice that there is a new eterm in the unstable tree but when I run apt-get install against it it wants to remove the eterm-backgrounds. I dont see a new eterm-backgrounds in the tree to upgrade to and the size of the replacement eterm does not seem large enough to hold the several mbs of image file I have grown to love.

MPX EN5038, dual nic cards
I found a source for 10/100 baset enet cards that use either realtek 8139 or mpx en5038 chipsets. I know that the 8139 IS supported under linux, but I am not sure about the mpx en5038 (a grep on the net sources in 2.0.38 turned up nothing). Does anyone know if this chipset is supported? Maybe I can only accept the cards with the realtek. Also I am planning to build a firewall machine for my lan as I have ordered dsl service.

Nice PS, Joost!
Folks, don't forget the power of PIC. It's sitting there as part
of groff.
Example: make a file called barchart with the following contents:
8<--- cut here -
.LP
.PS
vscale = 4
define bar {
x = $1
y1 = $2/vscale
ylabel = $2
line from x,0 to (x+0.25),0 to (x+0.25),y1
line from (x+0.25),y1 to (x-0.25),y1 sprintf("%0.2f",ylabel) above
line from (x-0.25),y1 to (x-0.25),0 to x,0
line from (x-0.2,-0.2) to (x,0) invis $3 rjust aligned
}
define barchart {
i=i+1
y = $2
bar(i,y,$1)
}
i=0
copy "bar.dat" thru barchart
.PE
8<--- cut here -
and a data file called "bar.dat" with contents:
8<--- cut here -
"widget" 15.0
"bidget" 13.5
"squidget" 18.0
"midget" 5
"didget" 10.2
8<--- cut here -
Then run
groff -Tps -p -ms barchart > barchart.ps
and see what you get. (One advantage of doing it this kind of way
is that it's much easier to add complications to the figure using
PIC than it is by modifying PostScript such as Joost's).

kdm hanging on return from console screen
Hi, I'm seeing a strange behavior on my computer. If I ctrl-alt-fX to any of the console screens while in kdm I can move around among console screens all I like, but if I try to go back to kdm it just sits there on a login prompt and won't go back to any other screens... it will respond to a ctrl-alt-del, however. I noticed this behavior also when I had slackware on this computer a few weeks ago with Xwindows. One of my friends said they thought it was my Number Nine series 2 video card that was the culprit, but before I try and hunt up another video card I thought I'd see if anyone could think of anything else I should try first.

Re: char-major-5
I checked to make sure, and I did have "standard/generic (dump) serial support" compiled into the kernel, but it was compiled in and not a module. I tried compiling it as a module, which generated the serial.o file you mentioned below in /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc, and the message/problem went away. So, is this a bug? If support is compiled in the kernel, why would it try to load a module? One other char-major problem. When I start my ppp session with pon, I get a "Can't locate module char-major-108". The session works ok. I tried compiling ppp as a module instead of in the kernel (it worked with char-major-5), but that didn't solve anything. I did modprobe -c, but the I could only find "alias char-major-107 3dfx", no -108 anywhere. Do you know what char-major-108 is supposed to be? Is it part of ppp?

ppp problem 2
Hi all, I've recently upgraded to slink from hamm and now I'm having a problem with ppp. The networking works much better than hamm which is good and I've configured my ISP's using pppconfig and before so I assumed everything was. I can use Netscape just fine, and lynx mostly works. My problems are with ping and ftp. I can't ping the nameservers or any other destination out on the 'net and I can't ftp either. So my question is what's changed between hamm and slik to affect ftp and ping and how do I get them working? I'd appreciate a cc because I'm at work at the moment. thanks ps. OK it's not slink. I can remember doing an apt-get to upgrade the distribution and a general update which worked fine and I'd ping idsoftware.com to test the link was up. Fetchmail used to work as well. I half suspect it's Gnome that's done it. Gnome was the last thing I upgraded over a ppp link. Now it appears that addresses are not being resolved correctly. Aaarrrh. HELP.

RIVA128 (nVidia) card works, but loses cursor in emacs ...
I mail-ordered a XFree86-supported video card, yet I received a Jaton Video-68AGP card that uses RIVA128ZX chip. To my chagrin, I spent several hours figuring out that I have to download from nVidia a special XF86_SVGA and do some setups. Now this card is working, and to my surprise, the video quality is much better than all I have used. The speed is also much better than the Sun workstation I used in the company. Except, to my surprise, that the emacs cursor does not show up! If the cursor moves to blank place, it does not show the color I specified through set-cursor-color. If the cursor moves to a character that has been fontified, the color is right. Cursor in regular xterm is fine. The emacs setups are the same for the other Linux box and the Sun workstation: seems problem is with this new X server. First thing I want to try is to remove the hardware cursor feature, but I could not find a way to do that. Anyone with similar experience? Any workaround? Thanks a lot.

Yes to all, but it won't perhaps be an automatic install: there's a custom LILO that boots from a Mylex DAC960 logical (raid) disk in the Linux-Mylex pages at http://www.dandelion.com/Linux/. I'm trying to do exactly that, but I'm having other problems and I can't still tell you how to do it and how great it works. Read you soon!

Re: Kernel 2.2 on Slink == possible && safe?
Hello. Nice see that it is possible and thanks for the tip. Looking at the URL you gave me and the installed versions of my packages I only saw that "Util-linux" was 2.9g but 2.9t was required. Seems like no big deal. I have no problem in compiling and installing programs, but I would like to stay as close to Debian's package-system as I can, instead of installing a lot of self-compiled stuff. This would make things _alot_ easier if the system goes down and I have to re-install everything. I also looked at the "http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/running-kernel-2.2";, and there it suggested taking packages from Potato. But AFAIK Potato-packages uses another version of Perl and I guess there would be quite some conflicts. The other option is to run Potato, since I just need the base and enough tools to compile the 2.2 kernel. But this system _must_ be stable and I fear Potato ain't really there yet. Since stable of Potato most likely is not coming out before February, I think it would be an idea to upgrade Slink to kernel v2.2 and XFree86 v3.3.5 along with the Y2K-updates.

Can not bind to /dev/ttyS2 with Kernel 2.2.13
I'm getting the above message when I try to use my Palm Pilot on the new kernel. It works fine with 2.0.36, but doesn't like the higher ones. It DOES recognize them at boot, however, which confuses me. The permissions are identical, and the devices look fine. I have three serial ports, in ttySx order, mouse, modem, and Pilot cradle, mouse and Pilot sharing interrupts as a default setup would. I caught something in the last few days about peoples' modems not working on ttyS2 after upgrade, is it related?

I use it to synchronize 20Mb directories, and the updates never take longer than a couple of minutes (provided there are no *major* changes/additions). It only requires that a binary of rsync be installed on both machines, and then it takes care of the synching. It supports deleting redundant files, ignore lists, and a wealth of other features. http://rsync.samba.org/ -- Arcady Genkinhttp://wgaf.dyndns.org "'What good is my pity?

Kernel 2.2 on Slink == possible && safe?
Hello. I have a Slink system which runs very fine with the 2.0.38 kernel. No problems or shutdowns at all. Now I want to use the 2.2.x kernel because of some features, but I want to know first if it is possible to run v2.2.x kernel on a Slink system. And second, which steps do I have to take to get a stable and safe system? Last, which kernel is recommended? 2.2.12? Ideas, pointers and documentation are much welcome. Regards... Andreas --
strange /etc/menu-methods errors, how to fix?

3dfx banshee with slink + 1/2

It is fairly easy to get bandwidth and hit rate graphs out of mrtg, I use
these scripts:
# for traffic
#!/bin/sh
awk -F '[ \t\n\:]+' -- '/eth0/ {print $3;print $11;}' < /proc/net/dev
uptime
hostname -f
# For apache
#!/bin/sh
echo 0
wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/server-status?auto | awk -- '/Total Accesses:/
{print $3*100}'
uptime
hostname -f
And invoke them from mrtg like:
Target[master.eth0]: `/usr/local/bin/mrtg-ip-acct`

I'm getting these errors listed below. When these errors show up on my

Anyway I was wondering if anyone knew what is going on here and how I

Re: recommend mp3 encoder
I used to compress @ 224 or 256 kbps with bladeenc, but now that I've been using lame instead, I encode at 128 kbps and end up with files that are quite a bit smaller and sound just as good. Lame also allows for variable rate encoding which for many songs lets me drop the bitrate down to 112 kbps and still maintain the same audio quality.
