Problemas con la television
Hola, Tengo problemas para configurar la tele bajo windows. Creo que he hecho todo bien (configurar el kernel, modulos, etc.) pero no aparece un dispositivo video dentro de /dev. He intentado con /dev/MAKEDEV video, pero me dice que no conoce ese dispositivo. Alguna idea?? Gracias See you..

Pero si los paquetes de los que depende necesitan a su vez de otros, ¿cómo me lo monto para saber absolutamente todos los paquetes que necesita el que yo quiero instalar?

Re: Cambiar el password
Si no me equivoco el 'passwd' como tal no permite que se le pase esto por línea de comandos porque es un tanto restrictivo en cuanto a ello, tampoco (creo) sirve un echo la contraseña |passwd usuario, que yo sepa, ya que es un poco paranóico en cuanto a los terminales (aunquep puedes probarlo). Mi sugerencia y solución (que además creo que tengo por algún lado en alguna de las máquinas que administro): coger las fuentes del programa passwd y modificarlo para esto. Es muy sencillo con saber un poco de C. Puedes, o nuevo paquete de esta forma : 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot', aunque quizás te pierdas un poco sino sabes nada de paquetes de Debian (mira http://www.openresources.com para un artículo sobre el tema). La otra opción es coger las fuentes de la misma forma, compilarlas (un 'make' en el raíz valdrá) y coger el binario y ponerlo en /usr/local/bin..

El día 27/01/00 Javier Fdz-Sanguino Pen~a decía: ¿Alguien sabe como cambiar el password de un usuario directamente desde la linea de comandos en una sola línea, indicandole tanto el password como el grupo?. Gracias. A lo mejor con 'passwd' pasa como, por ejemplo, con un 'telnet', que no hay manera, mediante pipes, de simular la entrada de teclado. Existe una aplicación llamada 'expect' que permite dialogar con programas interactivos. No es trivial utilizarlo, y quizás es matar moscas a cañonazos, pero yo lo he utilizado para evitar tener que teclear el password a la hora de hacer telnets. -- Si una serie de acontecimientos pueden salir mal, lo harán en el peor orden posible. -- Extensión a la Ley de Murphy.

Caca nene!!! :) /proc es un directorio ficticio y los archivos que hay ahí son archivos que realmente no existen, sino que se crean cada vez que se arranga la máquina. Si no recuerdo mal, /proc/kcore o /proc/memory representa la memoria de tu máquina (así que tienes 64MB en tu máquina, ¿eh? ;)), igual que /proc/interrupts representa el estado de las interrupciones, etc. Huelga decir que ni se te ocurra borrarlos :).

No he trasteado mucho la Red Hat, pero recuerdo más sencilla la configuración rápida de una máquina y las últimas versiones incorporan directamente los núcleos 2.2 y por tanto el masquerading con IP-CHAIN y... Por contra las configuraciones sencillas suelen tener puntos ocultos. Lo cual está muy bien hasta que tienes un problema o necesitas un ajuste fino y no sabes qué ficheros, pantallas o menús hay que tocar. Además lo del kernel 2.2 es solucionable.

Uso el TeTex de Slink. 1º En lo de babel me dice que no esta definido spanish como idioma, pero yo ya fuy a un fichero y descomente la linea de spanish. pese a ello lo de Capitulo y las fechas aparecen en español, pero por el mensaje que dice algo de hypenations, creo que no me separara bien las silabas al final de las lineas. El otro problema que tengo es con los dibujos: tengo las figuras que quiero insertar en formato .gif, ( el xfig, ni me gusta ni me entra en la pantalla ), asi que con el gimp las conbierto a .eps. el caso es que en el fichero .dvi ( lo veo con xdvi ) me aparecen los dibujos ( aunque la lupa no funciona ), pero cuando los paso a ps con la orden: dvips -f file.tex file.ps El fichero resultante no sale bien. Cuando lo veo con el GV al llegar a un grafico, se me queda con el relog y no me siguen dibujando el resto. y con el Ghostview for win32 me pasa lo mismo, aunque en este caso me sale un mensaje raro diciendo que no puede dibujar el resto. ¿tengo que utilizar una version mas moderna de GS? ¿tengo que convertirlo con algun otro programa? ¿No me va ha quedar otro remedio que usar xfig? Y por cierto, sabe alguien de algun sitio web donde pueda conseguir informacion en español para los muy principiantes ( ya tengo el libro Una descripcion de LaTex2e pero me gustaria mas informacion ), o una lista de correo para muy principiantes. Y para acabar ¿Alguien utiliza los paquetes o estensiones circ o circuit_macros ? para dibujar diagramas electricos en latex, le agradeceria que se pusiese en contacto conmigo, no se ni por donde empezar con ellos.

Help with bootp
I am having a problem with bootp on a fully updated Slink system. I try to access it from my Xterminal and my Xterminal says it is not getting any ip address. I look (ps aux) at the bootp server and it does not have bootpd running. So I try to start it from the command line and it does not start. I have gone through all the doc that I can find on Bootptab and have the most basic configuration in it so I figure that I am not doing anything wrong there. A quick scan through the log files and the daemon.log file has this in it: Jan 26 19:02:33 schramms bootpd[1241]: version 2.4.3 Jan 26 19:02:33 schramms bootpd[1242]: bind: Address already in use I am not sure why this is happening so does anyone have any ideas? thanks in advance.

Re: help with dselect (on m68k)
Clyde was just trying to help you, you need to be more patient and read more carefully. On most install cds, the distribution path is: /debian/dists/stable If it is not there your on your own. I would suggest exploring the cd and writing down the path when you've found it, then go back to dselect. My expirience with dselect (on i386) tells me that the standard path to the distribution is usually mentioned in the dialog when you are asked for the path. If the suggested path is incorect, then you must look for it yourself. And yes, there ARE non-standard install cds out there. good luck, -ptw-

I would suggest using xf86config as opposed to XF86Setup, on several different occasions I found that xf86config is much more functional. (ie it is more functional in that it works with more hardware than XF86Setup and is capable of higher resolutions.) Also some video cards only support 4M under xfree86.

To reply a little more completely, ASCII mode exists primarily to allow text files to be transferred properly between systems with dissimilar line end markers. (DOS/Windows uses a CR/LF pair to indicate the end of a line of text, *nix uses just LF and Macs use just CR. ASCII mode translates between these options.) Therefore... - When copying a non-text file, you must always use binary mode. If you use ASCII mode, it will almost certainly be damaged beyond easy repair. - When copying any file (text or not) between two systems which are both running the same OS, binary mode will always work. - When copying a text file between two systems running different operating systems, ASCII mode will make your life easier, but, if you use binary mode, the worst that will happen is that you'll have to manually convert the line ends. (The most common case of this is text files transferred from a DOS system to a *nix box and growing a ^M at the end of each line.) passwd files are plain ASCII text, so (provided you're transferring from one *nix system to another) either transfer mode will work fine for you. -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P L++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI D G e* h+ r++ y+

IIAC plans to forward the newsletter to airlines, international aviation organizations, major airports, the press and investment companies via e-mail on the 20th of every month. Progress Report Construction of the airport is scheduled to be completed by June 2000. Progress as of the end of December was 87.8%. Details are as follows: Passenger Terminal Building 83.6%, Runways 86.4%, Transportation Center 48.8%, Support Buildings, including fueling facility, aircraft maintenance hanger and catering 87.0%, Expressway 91.6%. Major milestones for this year: - The airport's thermal power plant supply will start to burn in February. - Flight testing of navigational aids will begin in March. - Railroad tracks will be completed by the end of April. - Building construction and facility installation will be completed by June. - Overall start-up and commissioning will start in July. - Trial operation with aircraft, passengers and cargo will take place from October prior to the opening in early 2001. News Bid for IIA Snow and Ice Removal Equipment Four Companies have submitted bids to provide Snow and Ice Control Equipment. The final date for receiving bids was January 14. Proposed is equipment manufactured by Schmidt (Germany), Busher-Schorling (Germany), R.P.M. Tech. (U.S.A.) and Fresia (Italy). IIAC will announce the preferred bidder within February following technical and price evaluations. Investors Invited to IBC Facilities IIA is speeding up the process to invite investment in hotel and commercial concessions within the International Business Center (IBC). The IBC site, which is 1.6km from the Passenger Terminal Building, will include two first-class, 500-room hotels. Commercial concessions have a floor space of 12,000 sq. meters and 5 office buildings 31,000 sq. meters. Reclamation and infrastructure work began on the site in 1992, and is 95% complete. The IBC will be offered on a BOT (Build, Operate, and Transfer) basis. IIAC will prepare the site and the investors will build their own facilities with a right to operate them for 50 years. The airport aims to become East Asia's main international transit airport. Its annual handling capacity, upon opening in 2001, will be 21 million passengers and 2 million tons of cargo. In 2005, this capacity is expected to increase into 28 million passengers and 2.6 million tons of cargo. Proposals Requested for Passenger Terminal Concessions Some 500 people from around 250 companies attended a presentation January 11 inviting proposals for Passenger Terminal Concessions. Duty-free shops, food and beverage outlets, book and stationery stores, saunas, and specialty retail and video arcades are included in these Concessions. About 7% of the floor space of the Passenger Terminal area has been allocated for Concessions. IIAC plans to select tenants by April. Airline Office Allocation Finalized In mid-January, IIAC finalized the first allocation of business offices and CIP lounges within the Passenger Terminal. for 30 airlines which have indicated their intention to move to IIA. The allocation was made following a 2-month survey of the needs and preferences of 44 airlines. IIAC held two presentations and working group meetings with the airlines concerned. Total space for the airline offices within the Passenger Terminal is 33,145 sq. meters which is 2.5 times larger than the office area at Kimpo International Airport. The first allocation covers by IIA about 23,972 sq. meters.

PPPOE with slink?
Is it possible to install pppoe on slink? It isn't listed at all on the slink package list, and the potato version requires new potato versions of ppp, libc, etc... I have a slink cd, and I have boot disks for potato, but I can't complete a potato installation (and install pppoe) without connecting to the net, which I can't do without pppoe - it's a catch-22.

apt-get upgrade - config: dead keyboard??
From a slink system, recently ran apt-get dist-upgrade, which went fine, then ran apt-get -d upgrade to get the held-back packages. Finally, ran apt-get upgrade to install/config them.

Daniel I don't know why Debian people can't understand that
Daniel releases/versions also need to be accessible by names that
Daniel _don't_ change.
Why refer to in in apt/sources.list as unstable or frozen when
potato would be better?
Because it doesn't work for local mirrors.
When I try to use the name slink to mirror slink locally as
.../xyz/slink/{main,etc.}/{binary-i386,etc.}/... and then point apt to
my local mirror, it DOESN'T WORK.
I have to rework the directory structure to include .../dists/stable/
Why? Because a Packages file refers to the name of the directory
(actually, four levels of them) in which it expects to be contained,
and it uses the temporary name (stable, etc.) instead of the
permanent name (slink, etc.) in that reference.
Consider the slink Packages file at .../main/binary-i386/Packages:
...
Package: 3dchess
...
Filename: dists/stable/main/binary-i386/games/3dchess_0.8.1-3.deb
...
Why the heck does that Filename: entry include the
dists/stable/main/binary-i386 part (or at least the dists/stable
part)?
A file should not refer to the names of directories containing it.
Names should be relative to the directory of the Packages file, or
at most the root of the release; they should not be relative to
something ABOVE the release directory.
Also, note that apt insists that the directory structure contain
dists.
_Because_of_all_that_, I have to rework the directory structure to
include dists/stable.
(Why should I have to store slink in a directory structure
.../dists/stable/{main,etc.}/...?
Why can't I store it as .../dists/slink/{main,etc.}/...? In fact,
why the hell should apt care what I call it as long as I point apt to
the root directory, where the {main,etc.}/... part begins, and under
which it can find all its Packages files at their usual _relative_
locations?)
THAT is what I was talking about.
*** Hey, is there a problem even when pointing apt to a remote archive?
Let's say you use slink to point to the archive directory. Apt goes to
the archive's .../slink directory or link to find the Packages files.
Those Packages file refer to .../stable. Apt then goes to archive's
.../stable link or directory to find the .deb files.
What happens when .../stable no longer refers to slink?
For example, what happens when potato is promoted to stable and an archive
wants to keep slink around for a while?
You use slink, apt gets slink's Packages files (using .../slink), but
then gets potato's .deb files (using .../stable).
So now you've got pieces of potato when you asked for rice...I mean slink.
So if you use stable, the name that changes over time, you'll get a
consistent view (at that instant); if you ask for slink or potato,
a permanent name, things can get screwed up.
That's why I said that someone at Debian can't understand that releases
need to be accessible by names that don't change. Maybe they do
understand the concept, but then why doesn't the software work?

Since I don't have a sound card, I thought I'd replace the playing of wave files in the OnEvents tab of the options dialog with the command echo -e '\a' so my machine would beep when I get a new message. The strange thing to me is that this works fine if I start licq from a shell like Eterm, but doesn't work if I start licq from the menu. I thought it might be a path problem, so I put the complete path (/bin/echo) in the command and this didn't make a difference. Anyone have any ideas why this would happen? The problem is that echo -e '\a' will only beep the console if it's written to stdout or stderr (e.g. when you run it from an eterm). When you start it from the menu, it writes to ~/.xsession-errors instead, so you'll hear no beep. If you download the licq-data tarball from www.licq.org, you'll find 'beep.c'. Compile it, and put it in the event thing to beep the console for you (the command is in the source).

Port forwarding
Could anyone send me a working example of port forwarding? I just tried to get it going to no avail. I test setup has a firewall connecting 172.26.14.0/24 and 172.26.2.0/24 doing nothing but routing. Now i want it to redirect some ports (I tried 23,25,80) from its own 172.26.2.1 address to 172.26.14.7. I tried accomplishing that by adding ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 172.26.2.1 80 -R 172.26.14.7 80 With this setup I get a log entry that someone tried to initiate a session on 172.26.14.7 but that session never is fully established since no data arrive on the outside. Also there is no error log on any of the machines. Then I told my firewall to masquerade the internal network. With that I got www going. However, with a respective rule added, smtp and telnet did not work either. They do get a 'connection denied' icmp package back. But my inside test machine does accept both protocols as I can see when directly addressing it. I also tried to the ip command to redirect anotehr address (in my case 172.26.2.2) completely to my internal machine. Using this setup I have the same problem. I get the log that [EMAIL PROTECTED] tries to establish a connection and nothing more. Strangely enough about every 2nd or 3rd try this log shows the correct user instead of unknown. Finally I tried marking packages to port 80 and add a special ip rule for these packages but the result was the same. I think I missed something essential but right now I have no idea what that could be. And yes CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPPORTFW is defined in the kernel. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: problem with lilo.conf
If you installed lilo on the mbr, you could modify /etc/lilo.conf adding the win98 partitions. In this moment I don't remember the exact syntax, (I am working on WINNT4.0 now), but you could look for it in /usr/doc/lilo or 'man lilo' When you will modify /etc/lilo.conf, don't forget of running 'lilo'. It is necessary for updating lilo's configuration. If you installed lilo in the partition's boot sector, you could use 'fdisk': - active Win98 partition, - deactive Linux partition, - write data the disk - exit from fdisk shutdown -r now I hope my information could help you. bye. -- Memo - Header --- To: debian-user@lists.debian.org cc: From: Joseph de los Santos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 27/01/2000 08:03:30 GMT 27/01/2000 11:27:12 Subject: problem with lilo.conf - Memo - Message -- Hello, I have installed debian to coexist with windows 98 but I can no longer boot windows. my lilo.conf only shows linux.it automatically boots linux and the windows partition is no where to be found. worse, I even forgot to label my windows partition. is there a way this can be fixed? __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Timeservers in the Netherlands
I am looking for a couple of good timeservers in the Netherlands for use with netdate. I was using www.surfnet and news.surfnet.nl, but now news.surfnet.nl refuses to tell the time, which is not very social...

Groups and what not 2.
/etc/group is the file where groups are defined. Each line is of the form groupname:password:groupID:users That's it? Even a child could have figured that out. There were two files (/etc/group and /etc/group-) but I edited the first and it worked. There were already a great number of groups in /etc/group. Do I get it right then that when I add myself to cdrom:x:24: (thus becoming cdrom:x:24:hans) I have access to that device? If so, this would seems better to me than the suggestion change the permission with chmod you always see when a person reports a device he/she can't access. I would still change the permission from the standard 755 to 440 which seems more appropriate to me for /cdrom, making it unreadable for the world. Maybe I'm not making sense at all, but I'm trying to get the philosophy behind all this. Sorry. -- Hans
Debian 2.0 tetex not OK
Hi, I installed debian 2.0 successfully with tetex. When I compile a package with seminar package used, it says seminar.cls not found. But I have installed the tetex-src package and seminar.cls is there in the system. So, what to do?

Perhaps you try something wrong, or I don't understand your setup. In common Port Forwarding is used to redirect traffic from the outside to an internal host behind your firewall. (e.g. webserver) this internal host may have an adress from the private space. When you specify the IP-Adresses, Source and Destination must be adresses on different machines, not of different nic's in one machine. If you have a strict policy on your firewall you have to allow this traffic, better you create an seperate chain for portforwarded traffic from the outside to the inside. For traffic from the inside to the outside you don't need Port Forwarding, as this is handled by Masquerading or normal routing. If this doesnt match your setup and you want to try anything else, append a -j REJECT -l to every chain to see exactly which packages are denied in /var/log/messages. I'm not an expert in firewalling, but this worked for me. HTH, Fitsch

Re: Primary and Secondary DNS one 1 server...
On Thu, 27 Jan 2000, Robert Waldner wrote: this is probably the best solution because you can take all the zones and configuration and simply move it to/fro your (then) only server. This is refused by some registries. In Hungary, for example, the registries only register domains which have two DNS servers on separate power and network connectivity. The registry checking script even checks that the two DNSes are on different subnets. This most certainly does not satisfy all requirements. A much preferrable setup is: Have a master server and two or more slave servers. Publish the slave servers as DNS server for the registry. Have the slave servers download the zones from the master server. You can move the master server anywhere on any machine, without bothering the registry, you only need to modify the master ip address in /etc/named.conf. You can setup another slave DNS server with a pasting of the necessary zone entries into /etc/named.conf and reloading it. They don't know where your data resides, hence they have a much harder challenge to insinuate data into the DNS servers. The master dns server can be a small machine since it will have almost no traffic. Of course if you have one machine, this is problematic. Robert Varga
