[OT] linux w/mac client ok: linux w/windows client ugh--?
i'm in a mixed marriage. i'm mac, my wife is windows (not that she likes it, she just invested all that time and doesn't want it to be for nothing). and we now have a new member on the team, of course: debian linux. works like a champ! but this is a very odd situation. in my home i've got linux acting as firewall, routing thru cablemodem/microwave wireless to connect to the world. i use the 192.168.*.* subnet within the house to assign numbers: i'm 1.100, she's 1.200, and linux is 1.1, and all works fine from my mac. i power up my mac and can instantly browse, email, telnet, ftp... no waiting, ever. but when my wife cranks up her computer and launches exporer it says she has no internet connection and "would you like to work offline?" starting a dos window we try 'ping pacific.net.au' just for fun, and the linux nameserver correctly looks it up and the pings march across the screen. (this is from her msdos prompt, not a telnet session to linux.) so her setup seems okay, but outlook express, aol and explorer all refuse to cooperate for minutes on end. after quitting/relaunching or stopping/reloading a webpage finally comes up and then all is well. i checked to see that her nameserver/gateway/tcp/lan settings were just like mine (except for the last number on the 192.168.1.* of course), yet this persists. even bewilderingly vague clues would be much appreciated.

It probably means that there's a hard limit on how much data can be at a given stage of processing in your ethernet driver that's getting overflowed. Everything should continue to work fine, although network performance won't be as good as it should be. Looking in the kernel source should reveal the exact reason for the message.

It's called debhelper, and most developers use it. Creating Debian packages with it is trivial for simple FSF packages such as units. Packaging complex stuff like X and Gnome, on the other hand, is damn near a full time job, and far too complex for any sort of ready-made scripts to be much help. Install debhelper, developers-reference, and dpkg-dev and read up on building packages.

debian packaging and /usr/local/bin
Recent discussions about netscape and other non-gpl applications prompt me wonder about the debian packaging system. In most unix systems software that is not part of the distribution is compiled and put into /opt or /usr/local or some similar place. Usually developers will have make files for one or two unix versions. More recently, I have seen .config scripts that will create the make file for you after scanning the system for information about PATHS, compilers, libraries and other jazz. This information can also be obtained interactively from the user. Now if we are concerned about administrators being able to keep all applications in the dpkg database, so as to insure system integrety, could not some kind of generic .config script be written that creates .deb files for non-supported applications. Actually I think some sort of wrapper program for creating debs would be very useful for upgrading applications that are part of debian. Really why should someone have to wait for a new deb file to be created by a debian developer if the application itself is actually already available? Many applications in stable are many many versions behind. A configuration script of the kind I am suggestion would allow a novice admin to easly upgrade and maintain their systems. The fact that we are over a year between releases suggests that original package maintainer-user relationship may not be practical in a world with thousands and thousands of linux applicaition. I am writing this from the perspective of an administration not a developer. I would not know to create the kind of deb creation and configurtion script I am describing. (I mention this to avoid the kneejerk "good idea why don't you write it" response) I just wonder if this is a practical solution to installing non-gpl applications that would also help keep debian more upto date without users being totally dependant on our excellent, but obviously overburdend development team. Does any of this make sense?
RE: ABIT BP6 & UDMA-66: Support for Debian Linux
I know this isn't helpful, but here is some additional information. I have a P233 with a non-UDMA66 45GB hard drive. I get about 12MB/s. I question the utility of the hdparm performance. This doesn't appear to be random reads. Either way, I get much better performance with Storm (based on debian) using 2.2.16 kernel.

ABIT BP6 & UDMA-66: Support for Debian Linux
Hi, everyone! My system is Abit BP6 w/Dual Celeron 500MHz CPUs & 128MB PC-100 SDRAM on board. One 18GB IBM UDMA-66 7200rpm HDD (master) & One 20GB IBM UDMA-66 7200rpm HDD (Slave) connected to the first ATA-66 channel. I frist installed the Gentus Linux (Abit's RedHat-based distribution) from the CD come with the main board, and both SMP and UDMA-66 functioned at after the first boot. (It's almost a painless installation - very smooth indeed.) Execute "hdparm -t /dev/hde6" gave a benchmark of something like 20MB per sec (very impressive!

If everything is working correctly, you should only be asked for your passphrase (see 'man ssh-keygen'). However, from 'man ssh': If other authentication methods fail, ssh prompts the user for a pass word. The password is sent to the remote host for checking; however, since all communications are encrypted, the password cannot be seen by someone listening on the network. Most of the systems on which I have set up a .ssh/authorized_keys file require only the key. One requires the password instead, although the key file is correct as far as I can tell.

Kernel oops.
Hi all, I seem to have a kernel error here. It usually happens when cron.daily is running. The screen sometimes freezes (if I in X) and my keyboard dies. So I have to reboot using the reset button (argh!). I am using 2.2.15 with ide patch applied. I have an ALI V system. At the end I'll show my boot messages and the kernel erro log. Hope someone can help. I have the feeling that I'll have to give up the ide patch (bye, bye UDMA). Thanks for any help and/or suggestions. Paulo.

If I get you right you have at least Debian base installed. Is that correct? It sounds like you didn't make a boot disk or install 'lilo' (a boot loader) during the installation process. Is that correct? It also sounds like you did a floppy install. It has been a long time since I have done one of those but you should be able to use the rescue disk or the boot disk (can't remember what it is called) to bring your system back up. Once you do that install lilo so you can boot off your hard drive. I have to run now but will be back later. hth, kent
Debian Potato & NIS+
I am working in a new network operations center that needs to standardize on a linux distribution, currently it seems to be leaning towards debian potato as thats what the unix admins want.(either that or mandrake) I'm wondering what kind of support(if any) potato has for NIS+ (NIS w/shadow passwd support) I tried playin with NIS+ on slink about a year ago and hosed many machines during libc upgrades. because potato is glibc2.1, has anyone got a network running with potato boxen and NIS+ ? and possibly NFS as well. I'm also considering getting the machines equipped with dual NICs one for normal network and another for NIS/NFS between the server/client for maximum security. We would use freebsd but the graphics is i810 and is not supported under bsd (yet), it requires a kernel module which only linux has. nate ::: http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3:50pm up 5 days, 1:52, 2 users, load average: 0.02, 0.02, 0.00

Where is module_file?
I need some help with the modinfo program. When I run lsmod I get: Module Pages Used by serial 8 2 (autoclean) cdrom 1 0 linear 1 0 So this means that I have 3 different modules installed in my kernel, right? O.K. If I want to display information about one of these particular modules I assume I use the program modinfo. The synopsis (according to man modinfo) of modinfo is: modinfo [options] Therefore it seems that if I knew where the module_files for the 3 modules I have I would be able to get some information about the modules, right? But I installed the modules when I originally installed Debian and when I did that the installation program did all the work and I didn't have a clue. So if anyone knows where these files might be, I would greatly appreciate the advice. Thanks in advance M.L.Henry

If you built it from the sources, you'll probably have, otherways could be that the header-files of the gmp library are missing, so you might want to check your distribution cd / ftp mirror to get the appropriate package or (even better) to get the latest gmp sources and build yourself.

samba auto-unloads
Hello, I've been using the samba client to mount NT drives to my linux box for some time without any problems. Now, on my home linux box, I'm mounting drives from my linux box at work. It works very well at first. However, when I come back the next day, the mounted drive produces I/O errors. It turns out that the smb and nmb daemons have automatically unloaded from my work box. When I login to the remote machine and restart samba, the drives can be mounted again. Why does this happen? Is it related to the daemons versus inetd issue? I don't fully understand this. There are entries in my inetd.conf like this: #:OTHER: Other services ## netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/smbd ## netbios-ns dgram udp waitroot/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nmbd -a But it appears they are commented out. I also have the standard startup script in /etc/init.d for samba. I sifted through the SMB-HOWTO, but couldn't find reference to this. Can someone help? Thanks. -- Brian J.

SSH access between a Debian 2.2 box and a RedHat laptop
Hello again, I have finally come to the conclusion that Telnet is inferior and I have chosen to install SSH. I have installed SSH 1.2.x (OpenSSH ?) from the UK Debian mirror (client & server) The Debian machine will allow SSH access from a RedHat 6.1 laptop. On the laptop I installed newest RPMS of OpenSSH (2.x) found on the OpenSSH website. To simplify the installation (or so I thought), I read the LinuxNewbie NHF on installing & configuring SSH. What I did was, I generated the two keys using "ssh-keygen" on both machines. I then copied $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub to "authorized_keys", also on both machines. And then I ftp'ed both identity.pub files across, so that the Debian key was on the RH laptop and the RH key was on the Debian machine. I then did this : "cat identity.pub >> authorized_keys" on both machines. Then on the RH laptop I type, "ssh -l oliverh -v 192.168.1.x" and then I should be able to log-on Sadly, this is not the case. Instead I get an error message: "The authenticity of host '192.168.1.x' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is xx" What exactly have I done wrong ? Oliver

What does it offer over Lilo > ? Grub is a general bootloader. It has a shell which you can use to boot many kernels (linux, *bsd, hurd, others I suppose). Besides those, it can boot any kernel that conforms to the "multiboot standard" which is apparently a new thing because linux and bsd are not there yet (I think, don't know about hurd). It can also boot proprietary kernels through the "chainloader." When you install grub on the mbr, you probably want to have it read a config file on one of your drives (/boot/grub/menu.lst on the linux drive; it can read files off any drive). The menu.lst config file contains the commands that you would type in at the grub shell and grub parses this and displays an ncurses style (not sure if it is ncurses or what...) menu that lets you pick entries from menu.lst. You can edit menu.lst and grub will recognize changes without having to reinstall grub (unlike lilo). The menu entry for NT (it boots NT through the "chainload" thing, the same way lilo boots windows) looks like this in the example included with grub: # For booting Windows NT or Windows95 title Windows NT / Windows 95 boot menu root(hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 The (hd0,0) means the first bios device, first slice (partition), boot sector of that slice ( (hd0,0)/file would name a specific file as opposed to the boot sector). Installing grub is a bit confusing, but it comes with an extensive info file from where most of the above info came from. Install the grub deb's (it won't mess with anything on its own). Read its info file and install grub onto a floppy. Make sure grub can boot NT; then install grub on mbr. > > I know that Caldera is using Grub for the OpenLinux.

Grub comes with a stage1 and stage2 file. Stage1 goes on the mbr and stage2 goes in /boot/grub/. One guy in the discussion was telling grub to use stage2 from /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage2. That's a no no because a grub upgrade will overwrite that file and break your booting.

yeah maybe you're right. I tried removing the link in question and I
still get no change that I see. It is the only S link in rc1.d and if I
understand correctly, the K links are only executed when I _leave_ the
runlevel. so when I remove it from rc5.d then nothing should be executed
on starting runlevel 5, right?

I can't seem to get this to paste into netscape (my mail manager), but
it shows 18 symbolic links to files in the /etc/init.d directory, and
looks just like the listing of /etc/rc1.d.

mp3-encoder
There has been some discussion about this as part of the recent 'flame war' about no-free. In short, due to patents covering mp3 encoding debian will NOT have any mp3-encoder software in the distro. It could be put in non-us IF a site could be found in a country that thumbed it's nose at software patents. Then operators of mirrors in other countries would have to watch what they mirrored. However you can still find tarballs of lame and bladeenc on the net and install them yourself. They may be listed in tucows or freshmeat. Bladeenc is faster but not as high quality as lame (YMMV).

You can't maintain a perfectly unfragmented filesystem if files are going to be modifiable are writing them. If you have to extend a file that has another file written after it, then you've generated a non-contiguous extent. Even if users think they're smoothly writing two files that "ought" to be contiguous, the time-sharing between processes will scupper their efforts. > Is there a way to make my hard drive contiguous again?

Yes, one of the changes from the 2.0.x series kernels to the 2.2.x series kernels is in the way modules are loaded when needed. kerneld has been replaced by default by kmod (how this works and the reasons for the change are explained in: /kernel-source/Documentation/kmod.txt. You can disable kerneld by editing the file /etc/modules It's likely that this file is set up for a 2.0.x series kernel, since you probably had such a kernel under slink. The first line is probably `auto' at present. The entry `auto' causes kerneld to be started at boot time. The entry `noauto' causes kerneld to be disabled completely. This is presumably what you want. You might find that there are other entries in this file. If so, they could be the source of the error-messages that you're receiving, since each line is an instruction to load a module at boot time. If you comment everything out, then no attempt will be made to load any modules at boot time---again, presumably what you want.

Re: FW: IMAP + QMAIL
Did you make sure to compile courier-imap with PAM support? I don't remember from when I compiled it but you probably have to specify this. This is what I'm using. Your AUTHMODULES should contain authpam. It would seem that authshadow should've worked but it wouldn't if you're using md5 passwords (this is specified when you install the box). Once you've got authpam in there you'll need to add an /etc/pam.d/imap file if it doesn't exist. Mine is just: authrequiredpam_unix_auth.so shadow nullok accountrequiredpam_unix_acct.so sessionrequiredpam_unix_session.so Give that a try. If you want to test in a more controlled way you can telnet to the server and talk IMAPV41 directly. Telnet to it from the machine it's running on with: telnet localhost 143. You'll get a response like: * OK Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2000 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information. Now, as for the basics, each IMAP command is tagged so the first token just needs to be some tag. The command we want to test is the 'login' command which takes the login name and password as extra tokens. So, you'll type in: 1 login and if all is good you'll get the response: 1 OK LOGIN Ok. But if the authentication fails you'll get back: 1 NO Login failed. This will tell you if it's really working or not since with Outlook you never know what the [EMAIL PROTECTED] it's doing. You can then just logout with: 2 logout Try these things out and let me know. "Wesley A.

init question
I'm attempting to modify runlevel 5 to start my own app. As a start, I deleted all links from /etc/rc5.d and replaced them with links copied in from /etc/rc1.d. (i copied rc5.d into my home directory first in case I need it later). I thought when I did this that init 5 would now behave exactly as init 1, but it doesn't. init 5 (typed in as root from a console) doesn't cause any error, but it also doesn't do anything that I can tell. init 1 on the other hand closes X and starts single user mode.

Helo ppl, Ive got a problem whith the alternative system. I have less and most both installed which both provide pager. I like most most more as a pager then less. Since less has a higer priority then most, less is choosen as pager. So I update-alternatives --config pager and choose most.

Re: non-contiguous vs Fragmentation
Also, if you happen to have a file larger than approx. 8MB (at least with 2.0-compatible fs) it WILL be fragmented, because the inode tables and block groups are laid out on the fs at 8MB intervals. Not sure what it is on a fs made for the 2.2 kernel options.

"Non-contiguous" simply describes what the term "fragmentation" really entails when you look at how a file is written onto a drive. Data on a drive is written into predefined blocks (predefined by the OS's file system) called clusters. If a file is written into clusters all adjacent to one another (contiguous) then it is not fragmented... > >How can my hard drive be 9.7 % non-contiguous if > > the ext2 filesystem is supposed to be anti-fragmenting? > > It's not _anti_ -fragmenting.

Of course, one is left without knowing what constitutes bad, too. The figure has much to do with average file sizes, percent use (space and clusters), and how often you change those files...

This is what I was thinking if/when potato ships with 2.2.15. Potential new users will think "Kernels < 2.2.16 are unsecure" and that could reflect badly on potato.

non-contiguous vs Fragmentation
Hello everyone, This is a question I've had for a while. I know Linux uses the ext2 filesystem which is supposed to be anti-fragmenting. Once in a while, when I boot up, I get a message saying I have reached maximal mount count and I have to sit and wait a few minutes before I can continue with the boot up. I have recently noticed that, during boot up, I see my hard drive is 9.7 % non - contiguous. I'm not sure what this means. According to webopedia.com: fragmentation - Refers to the condition of a disk in which files are divided into pieces scattered around the disk. Fragmentation occurs naturally when you use a disk frequently, creating, deleting, and modifying files. At some point, the operating system needs to store parts of a file in noncontiguous clusters. This is entirely invisible to users, but it can slow down the speed at which data is accessed because the disk drive must search through different parts of the disk to put together a single file. What then is the difference between non-contiguous and fragmentation? Is one worse than the other? How can my hard drive be 9.7 % non-contiguous if the ext2 filesystem is supposed to be anti-fragmenting? Is there a way to make my hard drive contiguous again? I thought that there were no linux defragmenters. Thank you for reading this email, I know it's really long. Well, I'd like to hear your responses.

Re: use second hard drive to boot from?

I have recently run out of space on my hard drive and am considering buying an additional one but am unsure if I can install it into my box to boot from.> Is it possible to install a second hard drive into something like the floppy drive bay?> > Thanks Yes you can install a second HD on your computer. There usually is a bay for it, your existing HD cable should have two connectors, one for each of your drives. Then there is the connector for the power. You have to make sure the jumpers are set correctly on the new drive also. How exactly do you want to set this up? Are you going to run Windows only on the first drive and Linux on the new drive? Or Windows and Linux on the first drive and distribute some of Debian onto the seconddrive? hth,kent --- Actually, I was planning on creating my own linux distribution on the second hard drive. So far on my existing hard drive, I use Debian and Windows. My new distribution will only take up maybe 2 gigs, so the rest of the hard drive will probably be used for storage. So I'll probably end up creating a 2 gig ext2 partition, maybe a 125 MB swap partition, and and then one or two vfat partitions (so that Windows and Linux can see it and write to it). Physically, I have a CD drive, a CD-R drive and a 3.5 floppy. I have a bay right under the 3.5 drive which is the same size as the 3.5. Could I fit the second hard drive in there?

Key fingerprint is ... Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no) If I replied yes, it will create a file in $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts and I'll be able to connect after the supplying the login password (no the passphrase from the ssh-keygen) to the login prompt. If I ran the ssh without specifying the -i m1.key, I can still logon to the machine-1. So my question is that what are the keyfile(s) used for? Or did I do something stupid ?

Add the apt source.conf lines for woody, run apt-get install alsa-source (and whatever other alsa apps you might use). You can then remove the source.conf lines for woody after you upgrade all the alsa stuff. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

The real problem with 2.2.15+security patches is the VM under heavy load: the kernel goes amok and starts killing tasks right and left. 2.2.16 is reportedly much better on that regard, at least from what I could get in a few threads from the kernel mailing list. So you really should update to either 2.2.16+Alan's combo errata patch (or 2.2.17-pre1, which is a fully errata-patched and cleaned-up 2.2.16 without any other major modifications) if your machine sees some heavy load occasionally (if it was under constant heavy load, you'd have done it already :-) ). As for Debian, we're in the second test cicle. Maybe if there is a third cycle for some reason, a kernel update to 2.2.17-pre1 might be considered... I personally don't think 2.2.15 with the security patches is so bad that it deserves causing a third test cycle, and apparently the kernel maintainer agrees. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

It's equipped with 3 3Com cards and on of them is connected to a Cisco-router (Internet). Everything works between the two networks, but I can't get any traffic in or out from the Cisco.

The ALSA driver in potato is very outdated :-(
Hi All, I had some troubles with ALSA drivers, provided with potato. I sent a message to one of their developers, and this is what I received: > you are using a very old version of ALSA. > please upgrade your driver/libs from www.alsa-project.org > > all azt2320 cards are well supported now. So now I have two questions. 1) How can I upgrade the ALSA drivers in potato so that I wouldn't break the debian packaging system (Is there something like kernel-package available for them)? 2) Are there any plans to upgrade the ALSA drivers for potato (eg. placing the new version in proposed-updates)? -- Greetings Wojciech M.

Re: Does kernel-source 2.2.15-3 include latest ac patches?
Hey, Didn't 2.2.16 appear to solve some security bugs of 2.2.15? If this is the case, even if the patches applied to 2.2.15 actually close those security bugs, wouldn't 2.2.15 give an impression of lack of security? I can imagine someone who read the security alert (and didn't read carefully that the patched 2.2.15 don't have this problem) thinking that this is odd. Well, anyhow this is just a comment.
