Re: mounting /tmp from fstab
Thanks all, I'll just follow this advice below. Where in the boot chain should this go? Currently, I'm adding it to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh. Tertiary question - why nosuid on /var or /home? Don't some programs leave some stuff in /var (vgetty comes to mind), and shouldn't you allow users to set sticky bits on their own stuff? It doesn't make much difference on this machine since it is my desktop, but I'd like to know for future reference. :) Thanks again!

Re: sendmail (or exim) help, please
I'm not sure if this is what the original poster wanted, but... Is is possible to masquerade a single email address in the same way the IP-Masq masquerades a single internet connection? By this I mean, to have a debian box receive emails via a single address, and be able to distribute each one to the intended recipient on the internal LAN. There are dodgy ways you could do this, of course... like have the sender put the login name of the recipient in the subject somewhere, which exim/sendmail would rewrite the mail header with... but that's too much to expect the sender to do. You could also try writing some 'smart filter' which would try to identify the recipent from the contents of the email (most personal letters would probably start with 'Name,' or similar... but then of course there are problems with nicknames, non personal letters etc...). What I'm looking for is a better solution. Matthew Colin Watson wrote: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >Is it possibble to masquarade my e-mail to the outside world from > >my LAN ?

Electric Fence
Hi all, I have two questions about Electric Fence, in case anyone can help me. 1) Does EF work on C++ programs as well as it does on C programs? 2) What does it mean when my program aborts with: ElectricFence Exiting: mmap() failed: Cannot allocate memory ? thanks -- -bob Particle physicists are always trying to hold a meeting, but whenever they decide on a place, the time changes. ** * Robert Kerr, The morphing guy. *MS 0847 Sandia National Labs * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Albuquerque NM 87185-0847 * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Phone: (505) 844-8606 * * http://www.et.byu.edu/~kerrr* Fax: (505) 844-9297 * **

How to fetch procmail processed mail from my office computer?
Hi All, To manage the giant amount of mail from different mailgroups I had to install the procmail in my office debian box. The procmail is run by my .forward file and splits the incoming mail into few folders, located in my ~/Mail directory. However I'd like to be able to transfer some folders to my home debian box. Reading the documentation I've stated that I should use the "imap" package. I've installed it on my office box without any problems, however when I tried to fetch the mail, specifying the folders to fetch, I got the following error: fetchmail: mailbox selection failed fetchmail: client/server synchronization error while fetching from my.office.box.name fetchmail: Query status=7 I've tried both: folder Mail/folder1,Mail/folder2 and: folder ~/Mail/folder1,~/Mail/folder2 syntaxes. No one of them works :-(. How should I specify the folder names for fetchmail? -- TIA Wojciech Zabolotny http://www.ise.pw.edu.pl/~wzab http://www.freedos.org Free DOS for free people!

sendmail (or exim) help, please
Hi ! Is it possibble to masquarade my e-mail to the outside world from my LAN ? I'll tell you exactly what I wanted to say. I have a local LAN, one e-mail address. I have set up a local DNS and ipchains rules but I stopped at sendmail. I want to relay mail for the local machines and put the mail into a queue if it goes to the inet but deliver immediatelly inside the LAN. The domain has the name "linbase.org" (not registreted) so all of the outgoing mails have to have "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (the valid mail address) at the From: and in the Reply-to: fields, not [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please, help me, how to setup this ! I welcome any URLs, RTFMs, HOWTOs if it's apart from the "official" docs in the distros, because I have already read through them but (maybe I'm too dumb or overlooked something) found nothing to my special problem. Does anyone has a working solution to the situation like this ? If you have a solution with Exim I would welcome it too. Thanx a lot, Ago

The way I read > your post (portions deleted), you didn't. I had stuff on the disk but I meant to wipe it clean. What my problem seems to be coming down to is my computer will no longer auto detect my HD's. I had one HD (primary) with Windows 98 and (secondary) with Slink. Now neither of my HD's are detected. I went into the bios settings and selected "drive auto detect" and it shows nothing is there. I manually set them to "auto" and still nothing is seen. I just don't understand how creating a new partition valid in the eyes of windows or not prevents my bios from detecting that there are HD's there? Thanks, kent

Did you have anything on the disk initially, or not? The way I read your post (portions deleted), you didn't. If you did, you're fairly much hosed, though it's possible to recover a partition table from memory (yours, not the computer's). I've done this. It's an exhilarating experience. If you didn't, I'd boot a Linux distro (probably a micro distro like Tom's Root/Boot or Linuxcares BBC), and create something like: /dev/hda1: Win98 ~1.5 - 2 GB /dev/hda2: Linux / (30 - 100 MB) /dev/hda3: linux swap (1* memsize, to 128 MB) /dev/hda3: Extended /dev/hda4: /var200-500 MB /dev/hda6: /usr2+ GB /dev/hda7: /home ++ (I'm a fan of partitions -- and actually have more on my home system, though it has three fixed disks ) You should locate a bootable DOS floppy and try to access the hard drive at this point. You can then install an mbr (DOS: FDISK /MBR), install Windows, install Linux, install LILO, and add a boot stanza for Windows. See the various multiboot HOWTOs. -- Karsten M.

Re: latex2html and table/figure references--more info
[original below] I've got a little more information now. All of the students who have problems have netscape (and don't know their version number). latex2html is using links on the figure numbers--so a reference to figure 2 should show as an underlined (or whatever) 2, with a hyperlink to that portion of the document. It displays properly on lynx, netscape 3, and a netscape 4.5/windows we tried. I can't duplicate the problem, but I've seen a couple of printouts with boxes rather than links.

Make sure you mount /var on its own partition right from the start, or bump up the inode count when you make the / partition (I don't have a clue as to what would be reasonable, but I do know it is /var/lib/dpkg/info that eats up all the inodes). I tried to install potato into a 20M / with /usr on another partition, I kept running out of space... df told me that only 9 (or so) meg of the / partition was being used, dumpe2fs told me I had run out of inodes. I had to make the / partition 22M before potato would install, but then I ran out of inodes trying to install all the .debs I had downloaded (they are sitting in the partition that will eventually hold /var and /home). - Bruce

Re: rsync mirror help!
Hi Nathan, Basically, I'd like to avoid duplication download the file itself if the symbolic link is available. Example 1: Link within the rsync tree. /main/binary-main/base/adduser_3.11.1.deb -> ../../binary-all/base/adduser_3.11.1.deb In this case, I'd like the rsync to just do the symlink for me. Instead, it currently copies adduser_3.1.1.deb twice. One in .../binary-main/base/. and one in .../binary-all/base/. Example 2: Link outside the rsync tree. /main/binary-i386/x11/x2x_1.27-5.deb -> ../../../../slink/main/binary-i386/x11/x2x_1.27-5.deb In this case, I'd like rsync to copy the file to main/binary-i386/x11 and since, slink/main/binary-i386/ is not in the rsync tree, then it would not be copied. I've been playing with the option --copy-unsafe-links. When omitting the option, the example 1 would work. However, the case in example 2 would not. when include the --copy-unsafe-links, then example 2 would work but not example 1. Here is the rsync script again.

wu-ftpd fails CRC checks
Hi all, I'm having a problem with wu-ftpd. On large transfers ( > 24 megs ) I keep getting CRC errors. This occurs on zip files, tgz's. I cant tell if any ascii files are getting damaged. I originally had this problem on slink using wu-ftpd-academ and a 2.2.1 kernel. I thought it had to do with the kernel version. S I upgraded to potato(frozen), and moved to wu-ftpd from wu-ftpd-academ. One more thing...

latex2html and table/figure references
Due to the difficulties that many of my students have had installing ghostview (I didn't know that it *could* be done wrong), I have had to distribute assignments in html form as well. It seems that latex2html is producing grey square boxes rather than the proper references for figures and tables. It looks like I can us pstoimg to create huge bitmaps, but this will be ugly :) Is there a cleaner answer? Rick

Re: cdrecord
Try ftp.greenbush.com for a kernel-image. These may not support your net card but can be used. The ones with scsiemul in the name are what you want. The 2.2.13 was built only for recovering an NTFS partition to CD. The 2.0.36 is used on some CD replication machines here. It works well with hp 4x and 8x IDE recorders. These run slink. When you install the kernel-image create a boot floppy and don't make it bootable from the hard disk. Boot it and try the cdrecord scanbus option. Hope it sees your drive. If the kernel meets all your needs you can make it bootable from the hard disk. Otherwise tell me what I should consider putting into the next build. The updated tulip driver is already on the todo list because it supports $20 linksys cards with the PNIC chip.

Problem with RealPlayer and Netscape
Greets, I finally downloaded RealPlayer and got it set up on my potato/woody system, and I had no trouble setting the mime type so it launches Realplayer ok, but once it launches Realplayer it just sits there, the clicked link never opens inside realplayer. If I click the link again, it just opens another realplayer window. The only way to actually get content to play is to copy the link from netscape and paste it into the "open location" dialog in realplayer. I know there must be a way to have the content play automagically, but have not found it yet. Anyone have a clue/similar problem? Best Regards, Todd

I've had no problems with procmail/mutt. I think procmail tries to use dot and kernel locking. You can certainly see it in action in a verbose log.

If you do, don't tell me about how screwed up your system got. Ok, it appears that libc6 predepends on a version of debianutils that provides "readlink". debianutils predepends on a version of libc6 >= 2.1 ... catch-22. However, a *brief* glance at the libc6 pre-inst indicates that readlink is being used to preserve time zone configuration info. I decided that breaking time zones was not a big deal. Of course, this particular machine is not mission critical, so I must stress again that this worked for me, it probably won't work for you. if it does, cool. If not, you've been warned twice :) I created a file "/usr/bin/readlink" with the following contents: #! /bin/sh true I then installed libc6 using a --force-depends (this is your third warning! This is not a good idea!) I found the libc6 deb in "/var/cache/apt/archives", so I cd over there and type dpkg --force-depends -i libc6_2.1.3-4_i386.deb Directly afterwards I ran apt-get: apt-get -f install Luckily, everything still worked, and I was able to proceed to `apt-get upgrade', etc. I'm fairly insane so the above is FYI :) Luck, -- Nathan NormanNetwork Magician, Eclectic Engineer GPG Key ID 1024D/51F98BB7 "Eschew Obfuscation" Key fingerprint =3D C5F4 A147 416C E0BF AB73 8BEF F0C8 255C 51F9 8BB7 pgpTNQPOMDjay.pgp Description: PGP signature

You may want to also look into your console font settings and/or SVGATextMode. man consolechars man SVGATextMode The other thing I noticed when in console mode was that the international keys (umlauts, etc.) only appeared when I was in an editor.

Mutt & procmail in debian - how to configure locking of folders?
Hi All, I just wanted to configure procmail in my system, and I'm a little afraid of locking problems. How should I configure the locking in procmail and in mutt, to avoid the destruction of mail folders when procmail delivers a message to the folder which is currently beeing modified by mutt. Is there any universal solution (I'd like to be able to access the procmail created folders with other MUA's eg. pine, Mozilla etc.). -- TIA Wojciech M.

Anyone have any ideas? Are you trying to set keymaps for the console or for X. AFAIK, they're handled seperately. For console: loadkeys (usually run as root).

xterm and backspace
Hi. For quite a long while now, the backspace key in an xterm (running emacs or something) produces ^H rather than an actual backspace event. I was browsing the mail archives of -user and -devel, and I have the impression that this is in line with Debian keyboard policy. If that's so, and backspace works ok in rxvt, should a bug be filed against the xterm package? Short of that, can someone clue me in on how to get it to work? It's really driving me crazy. Thanks. Please CC me, as I'm not subscribed to debian-user, thanks. -- Education is a system of imposed ignorance. -Noam Chomsky
second X
Hi, I would like to run a second X and indeed I succeded by using xinit -- :1 but only as root. As soon as I use the same command as normal user the system tells me that I am not authorized to run the Xserver. As the same command run well on other linux distributions I wonder how I can change this. Thanks Dietmar PS: 'sudo' is not a real solution, because I will use licenced software and this is looking for the user id but not for root.
ipchains help
Just started playing with IPCHAINS and I'm having trouble getting it configured... Basically, I want to DENY just about everything on the ppp0 from the outside, but I need enough to let the following services work: * Dynamically assigned nameservers * Outbound SMTP to my ISP * Inbound POP3 from my ISP using fetchmail * Outbound ftp, telnet, www/https, timeserver (chronyd), whois, nslookup, news (read/post), ssh, cvs I deny input/output/forward, then allow everything between localhost and localhost, specify ppp-out on output for ppp0 and ppp-in on input for ppp0. Then I start specifying the outbound services, then inbound. My biggest problems are domain name server rules, subsequent failure to resolve outbound email server, and generally knowing what input/output ports to leave open for data connections (high ports mostly, I guess).

mutt and NFS
I have /home NFS mounted, and i also have mutt configured to watch various mailboxes that i have procmail dump mail into: mailboxes ! =in-bugtraq =in-debian-devel =in-debian-user =in-debian-powerpc \ now when i use mutt on a machine with NFS mounted /home it will say new mail in in-debian-user for example, i c to that mailbox read/delete all the mail, hit c again to switch to the next mailbox with new mail say in-debian-devel read/delete the mail there, now both mailboxes are empty but mutt says new mail in in-debian-user, so i change to it its still empty, no messages have been delivered there, and now mutt is saying new mail in in-debian-devel and so on it will just go in this loop forever... if after this has occured i run mutt on the machine with the exported /home mutt says new mail in in-debian-user but its still empty but once i change out of the mailbox its fine and no longer erroneously claims there is mail there. the mailbox shows and zero length on both machines when mutt is claiming there is mail when there is not. server uses kernel 2.2.14 with knfs, client uses kernel 2.2.15pre3 (with ppc patches) also another client i tested runs 2.2.14, all run lockd and i have tested that file locking is working properly with a small C program i found in the BTS (yes i read the long boring saga of mutt and NFS) is there any way to fix this or should i just ssh into the main box for mail? -- Ethan Benson

No. You need to set the permissions after the partition is mounted. I tested this by creating a directory, doing a "chmod 777" on it, then using it as a mount point... "ls -l" showed a mode of 755, not 777. I've also chown/chmoded floppies to a specific user after they have been mounted so that whenever they are mounted in the future they are owned by that user (a good trick if you are worried that putting your pgp/gpg keyring backups on a floppy and having them fall into the wrong hands, of course it does no good if the wrong hands have root access on a linux machine). later, Bruce
