Hola,

gracias por tu respuesta ...

 Existen dos posibles causas:

 1. Olvidaste compilar el soporte para /proc en el kernel.

Nope. Otra persona me ha contestado en privado comentándome lo mismo. Ya llevo 
unas cuantas
compilaciones de kernel a mis espaldas ;-) para saber que el soporte /proc es 
fundamental.

 2. Estas tratando de ejectutar lmsensors como usuario normal sin tener
 permiso.

Tampocorrll. Lo he ejecutado como root. Primero sensors-detect y después 
sensors. El
problema, creo yo, reside en que no sé cómo narices cargar los módulos que 
tocan. Tras
ejecutar sensors-detect como root concluye con una lista de módulos que he de 
añadir a
/etc/modules (según él) y que está vacía. Luego me dice que añada un alias en 
un fichero de
/etc/modutils, pero esto ya me lo hizo automáticamente al instalarme el 
paquete. También
tengo un sensors.conf en /etc, pero no creo que vayan por ahí los tiros. En 
fin, me leeré la
documentación exhaustivamente, aunque la verdad, para mi gusto es de las peores 
que he
encontrado. No veo que de forma rápida y directa te guíen a poner en marcha el 
asunto, como

lees a fondo la
documentación ... pero bueno, es mi opinión. Gracias por el intento, no

El problema puede aparecer a veces: te encuentras con un
proceso al cual no puedes matar, por mucha señal nueve que le eches
(kill -9 pid). Si miras con 'ps aux' o en 'top' ves casi siempre que el
proceso resistente está en estado 'D'. Según 'man 1 ps', el estado 'D'
significa sueño ininterrumpible. Generalmente es que el proceso está a la
espera de que se complete una operación de entrada/salida, por lo que sé.
No es que el sistema no pueda matar al proceso. El problema tampoco es que
no reciba nuestra famosa señal nueve. Sí que la recibe. Pero a menos que
esté equivocado las señales sólo se comprueban cuando el proceso recibe la
CPU. Y si está en espera no recibirá la CPU hasta que suceda lo que está
esperando. Y a veces eso no sucede.

Espero haber ayudado.

Re: Ayuda con PCMCIA SCSI

2000-06-28 Thread Juan C. Amengual
Hola,

lamento ser pesao, pero es que estoy ya desesperado ...

Juan C. Amengual wrote:

 Hola a tod*s,

 estoy teniendo problemas con una tarjeta UltraSCSI Adaptec SlimSCSI
 1480A. Os cuento. He compilado los fuentes del PCMCIA para el kernel
 2.2.15 de la Potato, por supuesto activando soporte SCSI en el núcleo,
 pero sin elegir ningún low-level driver. En el Configure del PCMCIA,
 he seleccionado la opción Cardbus, antes de compilar. La compilación la
 he hecho, como siempre, utilizando el kernel-package. Pues bien, cuando
 inserto la tarjeta, me dice que:

 aic7xxx: Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI controller at PCI 35/0/0
 aic7xxx: I/O ports already in use, ignoring.   ¡aquí está el
 problema!
 scsi : 0 hosts.

Lo único que he encontrado por ahí es (y cito textualmente del PCMCIA-HowTo):

La reservación de puertos de E/S no es muy común, pero algunas veces pasa con 
tarjetas que
requieren regiones de espacio de E/S grandes, contiguas y alineadas, o que sólo 
reconocen
pocas posiciones específicas de puertos. Los rangos de puertos de E/S por 
omisión en
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts normalmente son suficientes, pero pueden ser 
extendidos. En casos
extraños, la reservación puede indicar que falló la prueba de puertos de E/S 
(revise ''Fallas
en la búsqueda de puertos de E/S'').

La reservación de memoria no es común también con las configuraciones de la 
ventana de
memoria que vienen por omisión en config.opts. Las tarjetas CardBus pueden 
requerir regiones
de memoria más grandes que las tarjetas típicas de 16-bits. A partir de que las 
ventanas de
memoria de las tarjetas CardBus pueden ser mapeadas a cualquier parte del 
espacio de la
dirección PCI del host (en lugar de sólo mapearlo al ''agujero'' de 640K-1MB en 
sistemas PC),
es de utilidad especificar grandes ventanas de memoria en la memoria alta, tal 
como
0xa000-0xa0ff. 

Esa gran ventana de memoria es, efectivamente, la que viene especificada en
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts. ¿Puede algún mortal, por favor, decirme qué @·%$¡!  
está
ocurriendo? Tengo una tarjeta SCSI parada por culpa de la m...da ésta. Gracias.

 Sin embargo, sí me carga los módulos apa1480_cb y cb_enabler. El primero
 es el módulo que maneja la tarjeta en cuestión, según la documentación
 de las PCMCIA, el segundo no sé lo que hace pero al parecer es
 necesario. Además me carga el scsi_mod. He comprobado con un compañero
 que tiene el mismo portátil y tarjeta que yo y a él no le da el más
 mínimo problema. Él tiene la Mandrake con kernel 2.2.13. En su mandrake
 la inserción de la tarjeta provoca que se carguen los módulos apa1480_cb
 y cb_enabler solamente. Porfa, una ayudita. La verdad es que no sé qué
 narices está pasando ... ¡y además me había burlado de su Mandrake
 presumiendo de la Potato! Algo para restablecer el honor de la Potato,
 ¡pronto! ;-) Como siempre, gracias anticipadas por vuestra ayuda.

Re: teclado en griego clásico

2000-06-28 Thread Xose Manoel Ramos
La cuestión es... ¿en que consiste un teclado de griego clásico? ¿Que
carácteres existían en griego clásico? ¿No son los mismos que en
griego actual?

Implementar un teclado en griego clásico en Linux no es ningún
problema, tan sólo hace falta configurar el mapa de teclado, y eso no
supone ningún problema. Seguro que existe algo así.

Lo más importante, es que hacen falta una fuente con los carácteres
de griego clásico para poder ver lo que se escribe y
imprimirlos. Supongo que tu amigo quiere escribir textos o insertar
códigos de griego clásico en sus textos en español. ¿No?

Creo que el mejor sistema para esto es el TeX, porque no hace falta
que use teclado griego clásico, si no tan sólo unos cuantos macros
especiales y automáticamente se le añadirán estos carácteres en su
documento impreso.

Tienes razón. El proceso queda en un estado de sonanbulismo que puede
durar mucho tiempo. En un servidor que esté siempre conectado eso no te
afecta, pues normalmente el proceso acaba por morir, y mientras está en
ese estado no te consume casi ningún recurzo. El problema es cuando
tienes que desconectar rapidamente y no puedes esperar al que el proceso
acepte su destino final y muera.

El pdf no es un formato editable. Si quieres producir un manual de
alta calidad en pdf, te recomiendo que uses pdflatex (instala tetex).
O mejor aún, usa sgml (docbook o debiandoc), después produces latex a
partir del sgml y pdf a partir del latex, usando pdflatex. La ventaja de
usar sgml es que puedes generar también versiones en ascii simple y en
html y un mayor público tendrá acceso a tu How-to.
También ten en cuenta que existe un repositorio central de How-to's
(http://www.linuxdoc.org) y sería muy bueno que el tuyo entrara allí,
pero para eso tendrás que usar docbook. Puedes copiar alguno que ya esté
hecho y modificar para tener un modelo. Si trabajas con docbook y tu
manual está en español puedes enviarlo a LuCAS
(http://lucas.hispalinux.es).

Re: mirror de ficheros de local a remoto

2000-06-28 Thread David Charro Ripa
Hola Andrés, ¿cómo te va?

Hay unos paquetes debian de sitecopy y xsitecopy.

#apt-cache show sitecopy
Package: sitecopy
Version: 1:0.8.4-1
Description: A program for managing a WWW site via FTP
 sitecopy is for copying locally stored websites to remote ftp servers.
 The program will upload files to the server which have changed locally,
 and delete files from the server which have been removed locally, to
keep
 the remote site synchronized with the local site, with a single
command.
 The aim is to remove the hassle of uploading and deleting individual
files
 using an FTP client. sitecopy will also optionally try to spot files
you move
 locally, and move them remotely.
 .
 sitecopy is designed to not care about what is actually on the remote
 server - it simply keeps a record of what it THINKS is in on the remote
 server, and works from that.

Hay que pensar que matar un proceso implica cerrar todos los ficheros.
Si uno de los ficheros corresponde a un dispositivo con problemas no
hay nada que hacer. Los drivers de los dispositivos como es natural
forman parte del núcleo y si el nucleo tiene un problema ya no es un
problema aislado en un determinado proceso. 

Un ejemplo si abres un dispositivo de cinta /dev/st0 en lugar de
/dev/nst0 estás obligando a que rebobine la cinta cuando se cierre
el dispositivo. Aunque mates con kill -9 tendrás que esperar a que
termine de rebobinar la cinta para que el proceso muera. Si el driver
que tiene que cerar no puede cerrar el proceso no podría terminar.

 Le meti startx. Le meti un CD de musica y funciono. Sorprendente, funciona.
 Ahora me dicen los .wav son de W$ y no se reproducen asi no mas. 
Para tocar CDs de música no es imprescindible tener soporte para sonido, me
explico: ¿ Has probado alguna vez a eschucharlos sin soporte alguno de
sonido, como en ms-dos sin drivers ?, es perféctamente posible. El CD
reproduce música como los normales, si detecta que son de música, pues se
pone a reproducirla y solo necesitas unos cascas -suelen tener salida para
cascos- o unos altavoces, sabrás que hay un cable que va directamente de el
cd a la tarjeta de sonido, ¿ A que no sabes para que sirve ?, si exacto !,
para usar la salida a los altavoces sin que el ordenador se entere )

 
 Pregunta:
 ¿ Como hago para ejecutar .mod .wav .midi .etc ? hago la pregunta mientras me
 leo sound-playing-howto
Necesitas los programas oportunos, una cosa es tener soporte para sonido y
otra un reproductor de .waw, .mod, .mp3 ...

 
 De las ayudas brindadas todas me han servido por ejemplo esa repuesta que me
 dice. 
 Ya te tiene que funcionar   (¿Porque?)Funciono
Los módulos no se cargan almenos que detecten el harware y lo puedan
inicializar bién. Si intentas cargar el módulo de otra tarjeta, cascará,
haz la prueba, seguramente te dirá tarjeta tal not detected o algo por el
estilo
 Quitale el pnp al bios (¿Porque?)

In a simple form, you can have a flat file like /etc/email-addresses

kachina:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and have a rewrite rule (down at the end of exim.conf):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\ 
{$value}fail} Frs

The $1 is based on the first asterisk in [EMAIL PROTECTED] (so it matches 
everything
in front), the Flags, Frs, are documented in the exim doc.  For a large
site, you'll probably want to use a hashed file or a DBMS database 
lookup.  I understand exim can do that.

 Also I have an pop e-mail account with 9 characters for the user name
 but the login on my system is limited to 8. How do I rewrite the user

A maintenance partition is an extra linux installation on the same system,

Re: Oracle 8i and Debian?

Mike,

  I've used both the 8.1.5 and 8.1.6.1 versions.  Definitely stick with
the latter.  The installation was pretty much a breeze.  The only
snafu that I've run up against is lack of sufficient swap space.  Make 
sure that you have at least 325MB of swap out there and available. (This
might be a bit of overkill, but I had the extra disk space.G)

  Running on a current woody system, but I had the 8.1.5 running on

mcserv over SSL - any experiences?

2000-06-28 Thread Wojtek Zabolotny
Hi All,

I need to provide my users with the possibility of safe and convenient
file transfer.
The ftp is difficult for setup with SSL. The scp lacks the convenient
GUI or TUI.
The mcserv (from midnight commander suite) seems to be a good alternative.
However I don't know if it can be easily setup for working over the SSL...
On the server's side it can be easily solved using the stunnel. On 
the client's side however setting the stunnel by hand before connecting
seems to be very inconvenient...
Does anybody know how to configure the mc to work with mcserv over SSL?
Maybe someone knows the better alternative?

Changinf from xinitrc to xsession

Hi

Having installed helix-gnome I am now running gdm.

I used to do startx to run X. So i had a .xinitrc file. On this file i called
the wm, gnome-sesion, etc, and i had the following command

xset fp+ unix:/7001

so that i could use tt fonts.

I know that i have to move this command to .xsession, have .xsession executable
but still it produces no result, i.e., apparently xset is not run. How do i add
this thing to .xsession, or how do i run this thing?

Exim and an annoyong person

Hi all,

A young lady at a publishing house responsible for sending out
newsletters has found a clever trick to maintain circulation.  Ignores
all Unsubscribe requests.  Given that I never subscribed this is
particularly irrating.

How can I set Exim to block all mail from a particular domain?  This
isn't spam - its stupidity so I don't want to rbl them.

What I'm thinking of is simply saying reject all mail from
channelnet.co.uk.

If this is possible with the mutt/exim combination, I'd appreciate
advice on how to go about it.  The exim man page seems only to cover
rbl.

Packages are added largely at the whim of developers; packages are
removed when no developer is interested in supporting them or when
they're considered too buggy to release. debian-devel is the place to
look (and search the archives first).

What is released with a distribution is up to the release manager, and
is generally determined by removing packages with unfixed
release-critical bugs (where release-critical is Severity: important or
higher).

I wonder why nisplus is not provided by Debian's...

Probably because no-one has so far been interested in packaging it, or

 sahya mountd[228]: authenticated mount request from nila.ece.cet.in:914
 for /mnt (/)
 Jun 28 21:39:27 sahya mountd[228]: getfh failed: Operation not permitted
 

I don't know, if it's a bug or a feature; I made the experience that nfs
at potato needs the fully qualified hostname of the accessing host in
the file /etc/exports of the accessed host. With generic (wild card)
hostnames you won't get access rights on the other host.

If you're using the Gnome startup from GDM (not Debian or

~/.xsession. However, it will source ~/.gnomerc. So you can put
your xset command there. Don't put your window manager in
~/.gnomerc either; gnome-session will start that for you, and you
can select a different window manager in the control center.

 Hi All,
 
 I need to provide my users with the possibility of safe and convenient

 The ftp is difficult for setup with SSL. The scp lacks the convenient

 The mcserv (from midnight commander suite) seems to be a good alternative.
 However I don't know if it can be easily setup for working over the SSL...
 On the server's side it can be easily solved using the stunnel. On 
 the client's side however setting the stunnel by hand before connecting
 seems to be very inconvenient...
 Does anybody know how to configure the mc to work with mcserv over SSL?
 Maybe someone knows the better alternative?

Firewall

2000-06-28 Thread Derek Wueppelmann
Yet another problem I have been having with a Debian install. Sorry to keep
pestering.

Here is my problem stated simply. I need to create a firewall between our
internal network and the internet while still allowing the machines inside
the network some limited access out and in. i.e.. keep our webservers etc.
inside the firewall.

I have two network cards installed in my machine and I have followed the
FIREWALL-HOWTO to the t. here is my configuration

eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.1 :Connected to the internal network
eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.2 :Connected to the internet.
# note that the xxx.xxx.xxx are the same subnet since we are allocated a
class C domain.

my routing table looks similar to this:
DESTINATIONGATEWAYGENMASK... IFACE
xxx.xxx.xxx.2540.0.0.0255.255.255.255eth1
xxx.xxx.xxx.00.0.0.0255.255.255.0eth0
0.0.0.0   xxx.xxx.xxx.254  0.0.0.0
eth1

Sorry for the poor formatting.

Right now all I can do is access both of the IP addresses from either the
internet or the internal network. However no matter what I do I can't get
past the firewall (it works too well). I have enabled PI forwarding in the
kernel and set the IP_forward file to 1 as well as set the forward ipchains
to wide open, as in:

ipchains -A forward -j ACCEPT

as the only rule.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

What you need is subnetting your class C network in several smaller subnets.
The first one would be x.x.x.0/255.255.255.252 (or 248 if you want several
addresses outside your firewall, for an i.e. Intrusion detection system)
The other ones would fit your needs. 

The firewall would then have a NIC (eth0) in the first subnet (x.x.x.0/30
(or/29)), and the second one (eth1) would be in any other.

Then, you can proxy-arp the different subnets or ask your ISP to route all
trafic to your subnets through eth0. That's what I've done, as it's easier for
me to manage than to modify my arp table each time I add/remove a computer.
I've been told that ISP usually don't make problems for routing.

Enjoy !

netscape 4.73 fortify (potato)

2000-06-28 Thread JudiElaine

As an extremely conservative user i have just upgraded to
potato (and, since in the moment i upgraded something was
wrong because some important library was deleted, hosing my
complete system, my conservatism has been reinforced -- i had
done slink - potato upgrades successfully before, too).

Fortify doesn't recognize the executable I'm giving it.
The script 

/usr/lib/netscape/473/communicator/communicator-smotif

refers to

  base_loc=/usr/lib/netscape/base-4
  nsremote=${base_loc}/netscape-remote

so when i try

  fortify /usr/lib/netscape/base-4/netscape-remote

the executable is not recognized.

I shouldn't be suprised since

  lynx file:/usr/share/doc/fortify/README.html#versions

only lists up to version 4.72.

Anyone have any recommendations as to forcing the fortify,
downgrading netscape, or waiting for fortify to be upgraded?


Thanks for advice,

cheers,

First, via dselect, you can choose any of about 3 or 4 versions of
netscape to be installed on your system, possibly even
simultaneously. You can remove 4.73 and install 4.72 if that's what
you want, or you might be able to have them both installed. Of course
you can also use apt-get to install, for example, 4.72:

apt-get install netscape-smotif-472 

will probably do the trick.

I believe that due to the relaxation of US export control on
cryptographic technology fortify will not be supporting any of the
Netscape 4.73 or greater products.

Personally I downloaded the 4.73 *.tar.gz navigator file directly from
Netscape, with strong encryption built in, and installed it in
/usr/local.

Re: Java support? (apache + tomcat)

2000-06-28 Thread Jens B. Jorgensen
Oh, if you're running slink then that's the problem. Unfortunately the package
doesn't exist in slink, probably because it wasn't packaged until potato was
underway. The jdk package available in slink is called jdk1.1 so 'apt-get 
install
jdk1.1' should work fine.

BTW, http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages is very helpful for looking up
packages. Also, I've been running potato for a while and it's pretty stable 
except
that every once in a while a package is submitted which won't install properly. 
I
deal with this by simply resisting the temptation to daily 'apt-get update; 
apt-get
dist-upgrade' which it seems so many people do and then moan and groan about how
this or that package doesn't work. If you're willing to put up with this 
occasional
convenience it's worth going to potato for all those packages you'd really like 
to
run.

The qmail-src package provides the source for the excellent MTA qmail. See:
http://www.qmail.org/top.html . SSL (read: TLS) support in qmail is available 
through
a patch which is listed on the qmail page:
http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~vermeule/qmail/tls.patch . I haven't tried to 
compile
and use this myself. Actually if I may insert my opinion TLS is worthless for 
general
use because you can only count on the mail being encrypt from you to your MTA. 
After
that it will be relayed to the next SMTP server and that one probably doesn't 
support
TLS so it'll be sent in the clear. SSL is lots easier for POP because with POP 
SSL is
handled differently. With SMTP support is added through a special command 
(STARTTLS)
which tells the server to start up TLS. This is necessary because SMTP always 
has to
run on port 25 since all systems assume this. With POP, a different port is 
used.
Standard pop-3 runs on port 110 and pop-3 over ssl uses port 995. So, if you 
want to
run pop-3 over ssl you can use the stunnel package. The stunnel package works 
by just
sitting in between the client and any old pop-3 server you care to run.

 Q.2/ Do Outlook Express 5.0 onwards  Netscape 4.6 onwards offer SSL
 support for both pop  smtp?  If they do not, any other mail clients do?

Netscape 4.6 does support secure pop-3 and smtp. I haven't tried the secure smtp
before but I have used pop-3 over ssl and can testify that it works.

 Thank you for your quick help!

Sure, if you want any tips on qmail or setting up secure pop-3 I'd be happy to 
lend my
experience.

Re: Help with COM port based terminal access

2000-06-28 Thread Jens B. Jorgensen
This is easily done by running mgetty on the port. Note that booting your 
computer
keyboard-less can be a problem. Many systems will hang in the BIOS POST if they 
can't
sense the keyboard is present. On some systems this can be turned off in the 
BIOS
setup. This has nothing to do with linux. I believe you can buy little plugs 
which go
in the keyboard connector which will make the system think there's a keyboard 
present.

I also found that I had to modify the kernel source to get linux to boot 
without a
keyboard but this was with a 2.0.X (where X == I don't remember what) in order 
to get
it to work because there was some startup assembly code which was making a call 
to
clear the keyboard buffer and it would cause the system to hang (or crash, can't
remember which). Hopefully this is alleviated in more recent kernels. Serial 
console
support should be set up in your kernel config (you're going to need to compile 
your
own kernel) and lilo can be set up for serial console support as well.

Good luck,

g++ identity crisis, slink

2000-06-28 Thread alice

Hi, I'm running slink and I was trying to 'make' some c++ programs I 
was messing around with the other day and discovered that even 
though my Makefile says to use g++, make was using cc to compile 
the programs. /usr/bin/g++ is a program, not a link to anything. If I 
rename /usr/bin/cc, make refuses to run. I did do a make -v to make 
sure it was GNU make, and it is. (someone mentioned to me that this 
might be an issue)

Now, I vaguely remember something in setting up my system that 
might have had something to do with which compiler I liked or wanted 
to be default or something... but it's really hazy and I could be wrong. 
_Is_ there something like that in the debian set-up and, if so, is there a 
way to change/override it?

Manipulating file content

2000-06-28 Thread Viktor Rosenfeld
Hi list,

this one is for all the regexp, shell, and editing-experts on this
list.  Suppose I have a comma-seperated or tab-seperated file and I want
to flip the lines and columns.  So an input file like:

a,1,A
b,2,B
c,3,C

would be transformed into:

a,b,c
1,2,3
A,B,C

Is there an fast and easy way of doing this?  Ideally through the shell
or with VIM.  I would RTFM, but I have no clue which manual to read.

TIA,
Viktor

Re: Firewall

2000-06-28 Thread Derek Wueppelmann
 eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.1 :Connected to the internal network
 eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.2 :Connected to the internet.
 # note that the xxx.xxx.xxx are the same subnet since we are allocated a
 class C domain.

 my routing table looks similar to this:
 DESTINATIONGATEWAYGENMASK... IFACE
 xxx.xxx.xxx.2540.0.0.0255.255.255.255eth1
 xxx.xxx.xxx.00.0.0.0255.255.255.0eth0
 0.0.0.0   xxx.xxx.xxx.254  0.0.0.0
 eth1

 Sorry for the poor formatting.

What you need is subnetting your class C network in several smaller
subnets.
The first one would be x.x.x.0/255.255.255.252 (or 248 if you want several
addresses outside your firewall, for an i.e. Intrusion detection system)
The other ones would fit your needs.

The firewall would then have a NIC (eth0) in the first subnet (x.x.x.0/30
(or/29)), and the second one (eth1) would be in any other.

Well I tried all of that and it didn't seem to help me out. I am stuck using
the gateway to the internet as xxx.xxx.xxx.254 and I can't change this. I
have only been trying to get out right now, which shouldn't involve our ISP
doing any routing work. I subneted our class C network using a netmask of
255.255.255.252 and put the gateway address as xxx.xxx.xxx.1 and the machine
inside the firewall as xxx.xxx.xxx.2, the firewall machine can still see the
outside and inside world and the inside machine can still see both IP
addresses of the firewall machine. Any other thoughts?

I don't know wether that could be the problem, but:
In /etc/hostname you defined your hostname with phoenix. But localhost
is furthermore
the same as phoenix. Sending a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] means sending a
message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] But phoenix means to relay the message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(see at the last line in  /etc/hostname) That's why your E-Mail is always
relayd to your ISP.
You should check your /etc/aliases and delete the alias to the root. And
also the relayhost.
(smtp.pathcom.com) If you try to send a mail to your own root, you always
will have to
enter following recipint: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (there mustn't be any aliases to
root or lacalhost)
And if you try to send a message to your ISP-POP-account then you have to
input:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] You could only contruct an alias to these both
(ssahmed
and smpt.pathcom.com). But no aliases to root and localhost.
Perhaps there's the problem.

  Perhaps it's just that the kernel source is not Debianised.
 
 What do you mean?

Only that the filename chosen for conf.modules or modules.conf
is not known by the person writing the kernel because the
kernel source and the distribution are unrelated.

Likewise, much documentation will assume that kernel sources are
unpacked and built in /usr/src/linux whereas Debian people are 
encouraged not to do that.

  Take a look at /etc/conf.modules (not modules.conf) and then
  follow the comments,
 There's no /etc/conf.modules in Debian 2.2, at least not in my /etc
 directory! :)

Sorry, I hadn't noticed that Debian has changed filenames recently,
as someone else pointed out.

 i.e. put your options into /etc/modutils/local and then update-modules.
 That's what i had already done, but it didn't change anything. ide-cd still
 ignores just one device. Anyway, thanks.

Well, after checking that the ignore has made it into the correct file,
and looking carefully for typos, then my reaction would be to put an
extra printk or two into the kernel source and see what it's actually
doing.

2.2.10 has:

  MOD_INC_USE_COUNT;
  printk(ide-cd: will ignore %s\n, ignore);   -
  while ((drive = ide_scan_devices (ide_cdrom, ide_cdrom_driver.name, NULL, 
failed++)) != NULL) {
/* skip drives that we were told to ignore */
if (ignore != NULL)
  printk(ide-cd: checking drive %s\n, drive-name);   -
  if (strstr(ignore, drive-name)) {
printk(ide-cd: ignoring drive %s\n, drive-name);
continue;
  }

and I've added the two marked lines. If the string 'hdb hdc' doesn't
arrive intact at that point (for example, a character has been stripped
off or something), then you can try some workarounds, like
ignore='a hdb hdc a'. It depends what it prints out.

Cheers.

First things.  Mutt will create a directory called ~/.mutt and you
can place muttrc in there (note there is no leading . on the filename).


Now, I know whereof you speak, so I added the following lines to my
muttrc:

my_hdr From: Nate Bargmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]  

So far this has kept Exim from telling the world my [EMAIL PROTECTED]  You
can mangle headers in other ways using the my_hdr line.  Also, you'll
likely want to use muttrc to set up some custom colors and get away from
the default black and white.

Quick fix is copy the /etc/Muttrc file to ~/.muttrc and add the my_header line 
from the previous reply.  Then you get pretty colors already.  Or go to 
/usr/doc/mutt and there are some sample configs there.  And there is also a 
manual in that dir also.

At the mutt homepage, http://www.mutt.org, there are some other examples of the

Re: Help with COM port based terminal access

2000-06-28 Thread Jens B. Jorgensen
Oh, ok. Now I'm with you. Sure, for this you don't want mgetty. Just use
the regular getty that's already on the system. Here's what you do.
First edit /etc/inittab to get init to run a getty on your chosen serial
port (I'll assume for purposes of exposition you want to use the first
serial port, /dev/ttyS0). I'll also assume you want to run the port at
38400bps. Add the following line to /etc/inittab:

T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 38400 vt100

Now to get init running this do 'kill -HUP 1' (init is always the first
process in linux and so will always have the pid 1, the HUP signal tells
init to reread /etc/inittab and act accordingly for any changes). Now
the getty should be running.

On your laptop you'll want to install a terminal program. I prefer seyon
(which is an X app) or minicom (curses app). Hook up your null-modem (Rx
and Tx are swapped) serial cable, run your terminal program, set the bps
to 38400 and you should be in business. You should get a login prompt.

 Is there an fast and easy way of doing this?  Ideally through the shell
 or with VIM.  I would RTFM, but I have no clue which manual to read.

Well, you could use regexp in sed, or use an awk script, but if
I had only 3x3 matrices to transform, in text, I'd
perl -e 'for ($i=0;$i3;++$i){;@entry = split ',';print
$i[0],$i[1],$i[2]\n;}'
with a file directed into it, and stdout redirected to a file.

Matrixes with unpredetermined columns or rows become slightly
trickier, but only by 1) keeping track of the length/breadth, and
2) nesting another loop.

 
 TIA,

setting i/o address for eth0

2000-06-28 Thread David C. Ables
hello everyone,

I've been having problems getting my linksys nic to work, and now I know
what the problem is. trouble is I don't know how to fix it. the problem is
that everything has a different i/o address for the card. it uses the tulip
driver. tulip (and the accompanying pci-scan) were both recently compiled
from the latest stable version at www.scyld.com. link lights come on for the
card and hub, and I can use ifconfig without errors. I noticed the problem
because I couldn't get a dhcp server to work.

I have potato with kernel 2.2.15.

when my card loads up during booting, I get the following configuration:
eth0: Lite-On PNIC-II rev 37 at 0xc3832c00, 00:A0:CC:E2:43:2D, IRQ 11

when I look at ifconfig eth0, I get 
... various network parameters, all correct
Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2c00

if I go and look at /proc/pci, the card with irq 11 appears to be at
0xf400. in /proc/ioports, it's at 0xc3832c00.

if I try just doing ifconfig eth0 io_addr 0xf400, I get
SIOCSIFMAP: Operation not supported

how else can I change this address? c3832c00 looks too big to even be in i/o
memory, and my guess is that the pci bus is actually looking at f400 to talk
to the card. I've no idea what ifconfig's 2c00 would mean.

agh.
-david

Message from To debian-user@lists.debian.org at 28/06/00 12:07:55PM:

 I wonder why nisplus is not provided by Debian's...
 
 Probably because no-one has so far been interested in packaging it, or
 adding it to an existing package.
 

Not so:

http://www.realbodo.de/debian

these packages work very nicely and are currently running on 15 or so
lab machines for me.   They were a godsend when we phased out yp
compatibility mode, and I was trying to hack the stuff from SuSE.. 

I would think that the NIS+ stuff has some licensing issues (sun
binary licence BAAAD!), or something as such.

Re: dictd cannot access localhost

2000-06-28 Thread Valdemir Melechco Carvalho
 Ahhh, 'dictd' appears to have died.  You need to execute 
 /etc/init.d/dictdit.d/
 restart.

Even if I restart dictd, it still doesn't work - it dies quickly, really weird. 
It seens to be a dictd problem, I've already tried slink, potato
and woody dictd versions but it's all the same...
Thanks.

Minor correction:  to the Internet these addresses are
in the same _network_, not _subnet_, if you have a class C.

  my routing table looks similar to this: [abbreviations made]
  DESTINATIONGATEWAY  GENMASK... IFACE
  xx.xx.xx.254   0.0.0.0  255.255.255.255 eth1
  xx.xx.xx.0 0.0.0.0  255.255.255.0   eth0
  0.0.0.0xx.xx.xx.254 0.0.0.0 eth1
  ...

  What you need is subnetting your class C network in several smaller
  subnets.  The first one would be x.x.x.0/255.255.255.252 (or 248
  if you want severaladdresses outside your firewall, for an i.e.
  Intrusion detection system)  The other ones would fit your needs.
 
 The firewall would then have a NIC (eth0) in the first subnet
  (x.x.x.0/30(or/29)), and the second one (eth1) would be in any other.

 Well I tried all of that and it didn't seem to help me out.
 I am stuck using the gateway to the internet as xxx.xxx.xxx.254
 and I can't change this. I have only been trying to get out right
 now, which shouldn't involve our ISP doing any routing work.
 I subneted our class C network using a netmask of 255.255.255.252
 and put the gateway address as xxx.xxx.xxx.1 and the machine inside
 the firewall as xxx.xxx.xxx.2, the firewall machine can still see
 the outside and inside world and the inside machine can still 
 see both IP addresses of the firewall machine. Any other thoughts?

You missed his point of having the NIC on the inside in
a different subnet than that of the NIC on the outside.

But let me ask first:  isn't the IP on the ISP's side one
out of the ISP's net?  Or are you allocating one of your
IP to your ISP's router?

It should be one or the other, to wit:  URC=YOURCLASSC

inet===ISP.n1/router/ISP.n2===ISP.n2|n3/yours/URC.x===urnet
or
inet===ISP.x/router/YOURCLASSC.n1===URC.n1|n2/yours/URC.n3===urnet

With the former, you don't need any subnetting, really, and
is preferable.  With the later, you may need to subnet ...252
with the far end as one of those, and the near end as the other.
The other NIC would be _not_ in that subnet.

The /etc/defaultrouter, or equiv, on the hosts in urnet=URC.n3.

On your router/firewall, 
default dest (0.0.0.0) gateway is the IP on the ISPs router.

With you giving the IP to the ISP,
dest xx.xx.xx.0 netmask ...252 gateway xx.xx.xx.yourend

If you're subnetting ...252, _don't_ put two addresses in
_that_ subnet on two of the NICs in your router/firewall.

This may or may not help, but when I was running slink and trying to get
my Viper 770 working, I needed a newer X than ships in slink.  Add this
line to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://www.debian.org/~vincent xfree-update main

As root, do
1) apt-get update
2) apt-get upgrade

Presuming that the 550 is supported by the version of X in vincent's
source, you should be able to run XF86Setup and have the new SVGA server
find your card.

Ok I did a 'dpkg -i --ignore-depends=gs-pdfencrypt

Ping and traceroute not working on new potato install

2000-06-28 Thread Michael Janssen \(CS/MATH stud.\)

Hi --

  I recently installed a machine with debian.  I only have one problem
with the install.. I can't ping.. whenever I try to ping:

3 bleh:~ ping 127.1
ping: socket: Protocol not supported

traceroute has this error also:

bleh:~# traceroute 127.1
traceroute: icmp socket: Protocol not supported

All other networking on this machine works fine. I can telnet, ssh,
web browse, etc.  I just can't ping or traceroute.  I'm baffled.  

Thanks,

This might work. I too remember that in slink the Riva TNT (which is
what the 550 is) was not supported. Make sure after the steps above,
if you can't find the Viper 550, to look for a Riva TNT. I have a
Creative TNT so they're essentially the same card and I have no
trouble running X in potato (X 3.3.6).

ext3 and availability

2000-06-28 Thread Sven Burgener
Hi debs

How far is the development of ext3? Today, at linux-conference.ch some
guy from RH said he was using ext3 on his notebook right then. Apparently
the main developer of both ext2 and ext3 works also for RH.

So, I wanted to know whether anyone knows when ext3 will be widely available
/ merged into debian.
Any experiences so far?

Cheers

ext3 exists only as a patch against the kernel.  Once it is actually in a
kernel we ship, we can turn the option on.  Until then, it would be
irresponsible of us to ship alpha kernel patches.

I assume the speaker was Stephen Tweedie.  He does indeed work for RH.  I work
with Ted, and have heard about how ext3 can ruin systems.  There are also
numerous hacks in place to allow you to use it currently.  For instance the
journal the FS uses must be created by hand and is an actual file in the OS. 
This allows them to debug the fs, but also allows an accidental rm to fry all
of your journal.
