The above sig takes two lines. Since people not understanding how to unsubscribe would typically be novices, could we use those two lines fully and make it a bit easier on them? I've seen similar types of messages before, and the way the above is phrased is rather cryptic, and of course the mail command wouldn't work on a Windows system. How about instead making the sig something like: If you want to unsubscribe, E-Mail "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with a subject line of "unsubscribe". Or something similar. There's only a few bytes difference, but it would be far easier for a newbie to understand and would probably result in far fewer off-topic messages like we see from rik above.

Yes, make it a module and not what you refer to as a "built in"-driver. Then you can load it. Check /var/log/messages or syslog to see if everything was ok. Then you can start to set it up with ifup or add the correct entrys to /etc/network/interfaces. Phil

I don't see these problems, and I haven't heard of anyone else having these problems. What kernel are you running? What is your network configuration?

Re: Compile error.
No, this driver will work with a 2.2.x kernel (I'm running it with 2.2.18pre21). As for the error, is this definately the 0.9.5 drivers from nvidia? And which TNT card have you got?

When I make menuconfig, I select built-in option for my network driver. I don't use a module driver for my network card. I use built-in driver.

That's the new deal. The locale-zh package is specific to libc6 2.1.3, so it should actually be removed from woody.

Won't make a difference with /dev/sndstat.

Re: Postscript printers
I have 4 HP Jetdirects at work - they're truely sexy. Theres also a Lantronix print server which was legacy... it lacks syslog support, so when users tell me its not working I have to go run special software. The jetdirects all log to loghost, which I have displayed on an old serial terminal. Its great to be able to fix problems before the users report them thats the mark of a good network.

Q: RSA Authentication vs. Password Authentication in SSH
Hi list, first some stats: Ten weeks without internet access (actually without a phone line) directly translate into 11000+ messages on Debian User -- Argh! Once again, thanks to my telco "Deutsche Telekom" for their great service. Not. Anyway, guess I had a lot of time for reading and catching up on system administration. Here are my first questions: What's the advantage of RSA Authentication vs. Password Authentication except that under the first one the sshd server does not trust the client unless he has authorized himself with a key listed in authorized keys. This is desireable if the the client resides on the internet and can't be trusted, but on my local network that's not an issue. However, if I disable the fallback to Password Authentication I can only log in from clients, that I have previously generated a key for and added to my authorized_keys database -- not practical, if I want to be able to log into my system from anywhere in the world. So disabling fallback is not an option, rendering the RSA Authentication useless. The key from an untrusted client needs of course to be protected with a passphrase, otherwise it may be easily compromised by the client's root and allow connections to my system without providing a password -- big security hole. But what about keys from clients from my trusted local network. In order to get them one has to get access to the local machine first, and then they are useless, because the intruder has already access to my machine. Unless of course, a user key has no passphrase and is listed in root's authorized_keys file. Then an intruder of my user account has instant root access on my machine -- but how likely is this? Having no passphrase on user keys of the local network makes managing it very convenient. Okay, anybody with more understanding of ssh help me out? BTW, I'm still running ssh 1.2.26 protocol version 1.5 that comes with slink, but the issues should be the same with protocol version 2.0.

XF86Setup and xf86config are a bit less nice, but at least xf86config should work, since it's text-only.

i think that modconf gets you back to that part of the installation - the only thing is, it doesn't help you if your device isn't listed. that said, it's waaay better than starting from scratch (which i've done a few times now).

You can rename the file with mv. Or you can make sure you mount the floppy as filesystem vfat, so that it supports win95 long filenames. The name is irrelevant anyway. If it's a tarfile, you can untar it. mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /floppy or something like that, to mount the floppy at /floppy. cat /etc/mtab to see what's mounted, and as what. You should have full win95 filename support. Once you build the driver, if it's the correct driver the rest should be fairly simple. BTW, there's a few there with the 3c prefix...

I just tried it out and it worked. i downloaded what i think is the same driver (3c90x), but the thing is, it comes as a tar file, and when i move it (via floppy) from my windows machine to the linux box, the filename truncates. of course, i could just download the driver directly to the linux machine, BUT I CAN'T GET THE CARD INSTALLED! any way around that?

Last woody upgrade = chaos?!
Hi *, I use woody for quite a long time already - but during the update from libc6 2.1.97-1 to libc6 2.2 something went wrong. Several packages, which seem to use networking functions are now broken: - syslogd - ping - ftp - emacs - apt-get Some of those try to open a socket in /var/run/.nscd_socket (which does not exist). Some just segfault (emacs). >From former threads in this list I know, that there might be issues with libnss*. I really need that machine up and running again urgently - what can I do? Are there fixed packages maybe already somewhere in incoming? Thx by Töns

for /etc/cron.d ?
afaik crontab can only update user's crontab, not systemwide
like the files in /etc/cron.d, they are just processed by cron
periodically.
part from 'man 8 cron' :
DEBIAN SPECIFIC
cron treats the files in /etc/cron.d as extensions to the
/etc/crontab file (they follow the special format of that
file, i.e. they include the user field). The intended
purpose of this feature is to allow packages that require
finer control oftheirschedulingthanthe
/etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} directories allow to add
a crontab file to /etc/cron.d. Such files should be named
after the package that supplies them. Files must conform
to the same naming convention as used by run-parts(8):
they must consist solely of upper- and lower-case letters,
digits, underscores, and hyphens. Like /etc/crontab, the
files in the /etc/cron.d directory are monitored for
changes.

Help with cron settings?
(don't think this one went through. Apologies if this is a repost) I'm having troubles getting my backups automated. I set up a file "test" in the cron.d directory with the settings... 5,10,15 * * * sunkcost /bin/tar -cf /home/sunkcost/test.tar /home/sunkcost/test.txt I thought that cron was supposed to check through its crontab and related files every minute or so, but nothing happens. I tried restarting cron manually, root as the user, and editing crontab directly, but no dice. I'm probably missing something really obvious for what seems like a straightforward setup, but I'm stuck. Can somebody give me some help here? TIA, --SC

What a crappy book. It was my first Debian book, and install, too. Note: It is _not_ Debian 2.1. It's a modified copy of Slink, with some Potato packages thrown in, and the kernel was modified by VA Linux Systems. When I tried to enable networking, I got void pointer errors from the Kernel and then it panicked. As soon as I got a stock Debian kernel all the problems that I was having went away.

HELP!!!
apologies for the drama, i'm just at the end of my rope trying to install debian. i am using a cdrom that came with the book 'learning debian gnu/linux' (oreilly). various packages that even the book tells i need are not on there. i figured i would try and connect to the internet, but i can't seem to get that to work either. i am connecting to the 'net via a dsl-type connection, using a netopia router. the network card in the potential debian machine is a 3com PCI card, model # 3CSOHO100-TX. the router lights up when i connect it to the card with a cable, and the NIC lights up as well (i realize that this means nothing, but i'm including it to show that the hardware is, in theory, working). here are my questions: 1. is there a program that i can use to set up a 'net connection using my NIC? 2. do i need to do anything to check that the NIC is, in fact, installed? 3. i've been using apt-get - what should my sources.list file read?

Re: Couple of questions from a recent convert
* JD Kitch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [181100 14:17]:
> Does the default install support an SB AWE32 for sound without
> recompiling the kernel?
No the default install does not support SB AWE32. You need to
patch the kernel and recompile. If your SB AWE32 is a pnp card,
you will need to configure it using the isapnp tools.
References: Sound HOWTO
Soundblaster AWE HOWTO
These are the instructions I wrote for myself for configuring my own
SB AWE32 sound card. Ignore the references to the USR modem. :)
Hope they are helpful.
Kernel Configuration Notes:
Make sure the following kernel modules are selected when you "make menuconfig"
Prior to configuring the kernel be sure to patch it with the awe-drv package:
apt-get install awe-drv
cd /usr/src/awedrv
./install.sh
Sound
Sound Card Support
OSS Sound Modules
100% Soundblaster Compatibles
FM Synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) Support
Additional Low-Level Sound Drivers -->
AWE32 Synth
##
## Sound Notes
##
Note 1: The Kernel must be compiled with the appropriate sound modules
selected. Prior to compiling the kernel, be sure to "patch" it
with the "awedrv" source code.
Following compilation, the following modules should be available
in the "misc" category when executing "modconf":
adlib_card
awe_wave
opl3
sb
sound
soundcore
soundlow
uart401
Configuring (i.e. starting) the "sb" module will start "sound",
"soundcore", "soundlow", and "uart401" (see Step 5).
Configuring the "adlib_card" module will start "opl3" (see Step 5).
Note 2: Save yourself a lot of headaches and create (pnpdump) and modify
/etc/isapnp.conf once. That is, modify it for all your ISA PNP
devices at the same time. Right now, that means your USR modem, if
it is installed.
1. Become Root
2. mv /etc/isapnp.conf /etc/isapnp.conf.old (see Note 2)
3. pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf (see Note 2)
4. modify /etc/isapnp.conf sound card entries to read (see Note 2):
#SB AWE64 16-Bit Audio Configuration
(CONFIGURE CTL00c5/18864389 (LD 0
(INT 0 (IRQ 9 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 0))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 7))
(IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0280))
(IO 1 (SIZE 2) (BASE 0x0300))
(IO 2 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0388))
(NAME "CTL00c5/18864389[0]{AUDIO }")
(ACT Y)
))
#SB AWE64 Gameport Configuration
(CONFIGURE CTL00c5/18864389 (LD 1
(IO 0 (SIZE 8) (BASE 0x0200))
(NAME "CTL00c5/18864389[1]{GAME }")
(ACT Y)
))
#SB AWE64 Wavetable Configuration
(CONFIGURE CTL00c5/18864389 (LD 2
(IO 0 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0620))
(IO 1 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0A20))
(IO 2 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0E20))
(NAME "CTL00c5/18864389[2]{WAVETABLE }")
(ACT Y)
))
5. Configure the sound modules for use with the kernel:
a. modconf
b. Configure "awe_wave" from the "misc" category with no parameters.
c. Configure "sb" from the "misc" category and provide
the following parameters:
io=0x280 irq=9 dma=0 dma16=7 mpu_io=0x300
When "sb" is loaded, it will call "sound", "soundlow",
"soundcore" and "uart401"
d. select "adlib_card" from the "misc" category and provide
the following parameters:
io=0x388
When "adlib_card" is loaded, it will call "opl3"
6. Add users to the "audio" group
adduser audio
7. Reboot

during make-kpkg I get i386-none not in remapping table
Hi all, I use potato with dpkg and debhelper from woody. When I try to compile 2.4.0-test11-pre7 after configuring it and doing a make-kpkg I get an error saying that i386-none is not in remapping table and not found in arch. So I have to specify --arch=i386. Doing this I get after a while of compiling a make 1 error saying that i386-linux-gcc could not be found. Doing an ln -s gcc i386-linux-gcc in /usr/bin I get i386-linux-ld command not found again with error make 1. So what is the proper way to do this, respectively, what am I doing wrong.

An > example of syntax would also be helpful. i usually do it in /etc/network/interfaces like: iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.1 network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.254 up route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 gw 192.168.1.250 down route del -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 after up/down, just normal commands can be enterd. i constrol my firewalls this way too, like up /root/bin/firewall-eth0 start down /root/bin/firewall-eth0 stop man 5 interfaces for more info it could be a good idea to make a seperate script for adding/removing the correct routes for an iface, like i did for firewalling. it isn't very managable if you have 30 'up' lines in interfaces. -- ,---. > Name: Alson van der Meulen < > Personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] < > School: [EMAIL PROTECTED]< `---' You can do this patch with the system up... -

Indeed. I've yet to meet anyone that has used it and -liked- it. The most common reason to run OV is "we installed some vendor hardware and they only let us manage it with OV". As an example of its brokenness, when I had to run it, I also had to use 'mon' to ensure that OV was actually still running: periodically one part of OV would core dump and take down the rest of it. The irony of using a couple thousand lines of GPL'd Perl to monitor hundreds of thousands of lines of expensive crapware was amusing, though. Then there was the day that OpenView refused to honor its own license, which meant I had to call our evil VAR (HP refused to help, because we got it as a VAR package) and have -them- call HP... 12 hours later HP gave us a new license that OV didn't choke on. Too bad the hardware that OV was supposed to be controlling was offline for 12 hours. > If you´re (for whatever reason) already forced to use expensive (and > much too often crappy) cisco-gear, I´d guess you don´t want to strangle > yourself further with more&more not-open-source-software. OpenView is what made me as rabid 'give me source or keep it off my network' as I am. (And, thanks to the wonders of proprietary software's inferiority, it even convinced management of the same thing now -they- ask about source and standards compliance when talking to sales wonks, and usually even specifically ask "will this work with Linux?")
Network routes
I have just started using Debian in something other than a simple network. I'm looking for what file and syntax I should put entries for static routes. I'm used to RedHat and things seem to be different in Debian. Most of the docs I've seen while researching this refer to putting things in the /etc/init.d/network script. This doesn't seem like a good idea as it would get overwritten during an upgrade and it also doesn't seem to be supported anymore as the script looks totally different? Do I put this in /etc/network/interfaces or what? An example of syntax would also be helpful. Thanks. -Kyle __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I don't know if this is the more elegant solution, but you can try binding the
F12
key in the "Global" context with "Run shell command your_command". In this case
i
will place this "/usr/bin/gnome-moz-remote --newwin about:" to open a blank
Navigator
window ...
You can set this with the gnome control center ("Shortcuts") or the Sawfish
configurator ("Bindings").

Pressing the SHIFT and CTRL key change the scroll speed, and using ALT you go back and forth with the page history... With the included Xdefault you can use the wheel to scroll the output of an x-term too... Andrea <>

You can't do this with DNS alone; your provider needs to run a virtual host for you. Whenever any HTTP/1.1 client (or HTTP/1.0 client with Netscape extensions, the two of which combined form the vast majority of even vaguely recent browsers) sends a request for one of your pages, it sends the HTTP header "Host: www.dorpsnet.nl". Your provider's web server then needs to recognize that and send them back pages from the directory ~sebas. This should be trivial for a provider who knows anything at all about web hosting. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have Skipstone running fine on my potato system, and I really like it. I installed Mozilla from Debian (M18-3 in stable), and then I installed the pre-compiled binary available at the Skipstone web-site (skipstone-0.6.1-bin) in /usr/local. I've not had any problems so far. I needed this in .bash_profile: export MOZILLA_5_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla so that skipstone knew where to look for the parts of Mozilla that it uses. Jim
Re: exim and mtt probs continue

I have run eximconfig but have had trouble working out how to answer some of the questions I am not sure what is meant by some of the terms i.e. what is my visible mail name. To be honest i have used the default settings to set up exim i have no idea in most cases whether this is correct. I am dialling up to my isp using pon, I can't fine where to set up the isp smtp info re sending mail. >>> Isn't this one of the last questions eximconfig asks you? Think so. <<< Fetchmail seems to be ok but where does it write the emails to.

Apparently exim should set this up for me/ I am truly at a loss. >>> I've just spent several evenings puzzling over an identical or similar problem. The usual location for mailboxes (which are files, not directories, as I initially thought) is /var/spool/mail. For reasons I don't understand, the default Debian 2.2 setup makes this a symbolic (I think symbolic, not hard) link to /var/mail. You see this from ls -l /var/spool which shows mail -> ../mail at the end of the line for mail. Mailboxes are thus in /var/mail. To see them do ls -l /var/mail The mailbox for some_user should be named and owned by some_user, the group should be mail, and the permissions should be -rw-rw. You may have to create these files using touch, chown, chgrp and chmod to get the ownership and permissions right. If I remember rightly, touch some_user chown new_user new_user chgrp mail new_user chmod 660 new_user will do it. In my case, I messed up the default configuration and had the same problem with mutt not seeing my mailbox. Creating the above link and file solved the problem. <<< Mutt is also supposed to make a file called .muttrc in my home directory but this does not exist, apparently without it i cant specify which MTA i am using. >>> I don't think you need to specify exim in .muttrc. If I understand correctly, exim appends incoming mail to user's mailboxes in /var/spool/mail or, in this case, /var/mail. mutt looks for it in /var/spool/mail, which is linked to /var/mail. What mutt needs to know is where to look for the mailbox, not what MTA put the mail there. <<< Is there a mutt configuration script. If you have any idea how to proceed. >>>You probably don't need this to solve your immediate problem. I don't know of any script, but see the mutt home page for examples of configuration files.

Try /etc/environment. This is read by pam_env, which needs to be configured for the appropriate services in /etc/pam.d, but that's the default in Debian so you should be OK.
