 Hola!
 
 Existe alguna utilidad para poder crear nuestros propios ficheros de 
 'fortunes'?

Hola
Para crear un archivo de fortunes solo tenes que usar tu editor favorito y
crear un archivo con este formato

fortune 1 bla bla bla
%
fortune 2 es mas larga
y tiene 2 renglones bla bla bla
%
fui lo que crei, soy lo que esta pasando
(Charly Garcia) :)



y luego usas el comando strfile con ese archivo y te crea el .dat
Listo!
Con eso ya tenes un archivo de fortunes
strfile viene en el paquete fortune-mod

Mira, esto lo intenté hace un par de meses y no recuerdo todos los
detalles.

Traté de conectar dos computadoras, una Pentium II350 con Potato y otra
Pentium III800 con Woody, utilizando el puerto paralelo de ambas. Ambos
puertos funcionan perfectamente con mi impresora Canon y mi Scanner
Primax, así que pienso que no hay problema con los puertos. Utilicé
además dos cables paralelos nulos. Cabe notar que con Windows si podía
conectarlas con ambos.

Compile en ambos kerneles con soporte para el modulo plip, el cual con
insmod funcionaba sin errores en ambas. Sin embargo, a la hora de
hacer un ping de una a la otra simplemente se quedaban esperando y nunca
recibían respuesta. Cabe aclarar que usaba plip0, 0x378 y el IRQ 7. Son
los mismos parámetros que funcionaban con el módulo lp.

¿alguna idea?

Modificaste la tabla de ruteo?

Nunca he usado plip, pero me imagino que debe aparecer como una
interfaz como cualquier otra en el ifconfig y hay que configurarla y
luego modificar la tabla de ruteo para que los paquetes para la otra
maquina se vayan por ahi.

 Para no apagar el pc (o lo que sea que lleve linux) à la brava como dices

 formas
 de hacer esto:

Bien. Empezemos por las preguntas tontas:

¿Kernel =2.2.0? ¿Sí? Bien. En caso contrario debes usar plip1.

¿Descargaste el módulo lp antes de cargar el plip?

¿Cable bien apretado? No es coña. A mi me falló un montón de veces antes
de darme cuenta que uno de los conectores se había movido ligeramente al
trastear con los equipos.

¿Configuraste AMBAS máquinas con ifconfig y con los parámetros de 
conexión
invertidos?

¿Entre una prueba y otra, descargaste y volviste a cargar el módulo 
plip?
De nuevo: no es coña.


En cuanto regrese a casa te enviaré una copia de los scripts que 
yo usaba
para la configuración. Espero que entre eso y los comentarios anteriores
puedas llevar la cosa a buen puerto (paralelo, se entiende). :-)

Proxy

2001-04-04 Thread Imobach González Sosa
Saludos.

En primer lugar gracias por echarme una mano a la hora de decidir cómo
hacer las particiones.

Ahora voy con otro tema: jamás he trabajdo con proxys... y ya va siendo
hora... la pregunta seguramente será una chorrada, pero no sé la
respuesta. El tema es que tengo la máquina linux detrás de un proxy (que
no administro yo... está en NT), y no me deja salir con protocolos como
http o ftp (entre otros). Por supuesto, me supongo que el tema estará en
que no he dicho en ningún lado que hay que usar un proxy... ¿dónde se
especifica? ¿hay que instalar algún paquete?

Pues eso, un saludo y gracias de antemano.

problema apache nmap ypuertos

bueno actualize a progeny como dice en  la pagina de ellos y me funciona
bien el problema, es que no me deja trabajar apache, bien diecho sea
trabajar porque los cargo y sin problemas, el webmin los mismo lo cargo
y sin problemas

una cosa rara fue que le di ifconfig para saber mi ip y esta vez no me
parecion loopback osea la 127.0.0.1 y cuando trate de hacer ping a mi
mismo, nada no me vi, puedo entrar a internet sin problemas pero no
puedo acceder a estos servicios,ñ no se si sea jkljl no
no se si sea algun servicio que se esta cargando que me anula el resto
pero nada de apache y nada webmin, y nmap me arroja
zashua:/usr/src/linux# nmap localhost

There are several possible reasons for this, depending on your operating

af_packet or recompile your kernel with SOCK_PACKET enabled.
*BSD:  If you are getting device not configured, you need to recompile
your kernel with Berkeley Packet Filter support.  If you are getting No

SOLARIS:  If you are trying to scan localhost and getting '/dev/lo0: No

support advanced localhost scans.  You can pro
use -P0 -sT localhost though.


la verdad hice todo lo que dice hay modprobe af_packet , verificque en
mi kernel SOCK_PACKET enabled., lo unico que no hice fue lo de crearlo
nuevamente como dice
MAKEDEV device; or use mknod) la verdad no se bien la sintaxis

Un par de tarjetas de red de las baratitas y un cable de red. Es LO MAS

Una conexión por el puerto paralelo. Es unas pocas veces(2 a 4) más 
rápido
que la conexión por el puerto serie. (Se transmiten 4 bits en vez de 1)
Sólo necesitas un cable paralelo 'tipo laplink'. Sólo es viable si los

A bote pronto se me ocurre que puedes quitar los modems de en medio

un cable-modem nulo. La pena es que no me acuerdo como se hacía, pero 
seguro que hay un howto sobre ello.
Así no estarías limitado por la velocidad de los modems, sino sólo

Re: Servidor XDMCP

2001-04-04 Thread Joaquin Fernandez Piqueras
Creo que lo que quieres es tener en el K7 el gdm/xdm/kdm arrancado y
acceder remotamente desde el P133 a ese entorno grafico.

Si es eso, basta con que actives XDMCP en el servidor que prefieras
(gdm/xdm/kdm) y despues desde el cliente (P133) ejecutes:

X :1.0 -query IP_del_servidor

y ya lo tienes. En el servidor tienes que tener habilitado el acceso
desde el cliente y activado el XDMCP.

Ya nos contaras...

Estimado Ricardo,

Si tiene algun tipo de compania de cable local o algo por el estilo que
tengan cable coaxial de extremo a extremo puede comprarse un par de cable
modems y posiblemente funciona. El problema es que estos son +- caros y de
pronto no funciona!. Si quiere usar dsl, tiene que tener un modem dsl
(enrutador) ademas de la linea dsl. Recuerde, el ancho de banda del cable de
telefono es limitado!.

Consigase otro par de lineas y modems y con eso dobla el ancho de banda.

Suerte,

PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:07.2

Problemillas con el Xmame

2001-04-04 Thread Rusty Debian R000Lz,,,

 Nazzz keridos pingüinillos:
Pues nada k me dirjo a la lista debido a k estoy teniendo varios
problemas para echar a andar el famoso Xmame,que para los k no lo sepan
que supongo serán pocos,es una version del famoso emulador k existe para
la mierda del Windoze.Pues nada eso,que si alguien lo usa y no le
importa echarme una manita con ello pues se lo agradecería un montón,ya
que el tema este de los emuladores me gusta bastante ya que paso de
super-juegos 3D y esas mierdas come-recursos.Antes jugaba con el mame en
Windoze,pero por fin me he deshecho de él.
Bueno muchas gracias por adelantado.

Saludos a todo el mundo,

La máquina que corre Potato quiero que acceda a unas cuantas
cuentas de correo que tengo dispersas.
¿Qué programa o programas me aconsejaríais que instalara? No
me hace falta que sea bajo X's, solo que no sea terriblemente
complicado. Tampoco va a soportar mucha carga (aún que la lista
últimamente va cargadita!! ;-), es solo para correo personal,

Agradezco de antemano las ayudas,

servidor ppp con rdsi

Tengo una maquina con una tarjeta rdsi para conectarme a internet.
Necesito conectarme a ella desde mi casa en donde tengo un modem

Cambio de CDROM

2001-04-04 Thread Siasemex

Hace poco me decidi a instalar la potato, pero el lector de cdrom se me
fastidio a media instalacion. El sistema funciona, aunque esta bastante
pelado como es evidente. Bueno, el caso es que he puesto un nuevo CD he e
intentado continuar la instalacion de paquetes con dselect. Y ahi viene mi
problema, no me da la opcion de instalar desde cdrom. A duras penas
consigo montar el cd pero dselect no me lo reconoce.

Cual es el problema? Como puedo hacer que el nuevo cd me lo reconozca sin
problemas?

Gracias de antemano, y os agradeceria que me contestaseis personalmente a
mi direccion de correo porque mi acceso a la lista es un poco complicado.

   Compile en ambos kerneles con soporte para el modulo plip, el

 IRQ 7. Son
   los mismos parámetros que funcionaban con el módulo lp.
  
 
  Modificaste la tabla de ruteo?
  Configuraste la interfaz?
 
 
 Perdón, se me paso mencionar eso. Pues sí, configuré tanto ifconfig
 como
 route para utilizar plip0 como gateway para la minired que establecí en
 172.16.0.2 y 3, definiendo ambas direcciones en los dos /etc/hosts.
 
 
 Bien. Empezemos por las preguntas tontas:
 
 ¿Kernel =2.2.0? ¿Sí? Bien. En caso contrario debes usar plip1.

Si. Es 2.2.14 y 2.2.18 (bueno, ahora es 19). Usaba plip0 porque es lo
que indicaba un tutorial de plip, y al intentar usar plip1 me decía que
no existía el dispositivo o algo así

 
 ¿Descargaste el módulo lp antes de cargar el plip?

De hecho ni lo cargaba. Y no se mostraba en lsmod

 
 ¿Cable bien apretado? No es coña. A mi me falló un montón de veces antes
 de darme cuenta que uno de los conectores se había movido ligeramente al
 trastear con los equipos.

Snif. Revisé miles de veces los cables con la esperanza, pero no.

 ¿Configuraste AMBAS máquinas con ifconfig y con los parámetros de
 conexión
 invertidos?

Yep

 
 ¿Entre una prueba y otra, descargaste y volviste a cargar el módulo
 plip?
 De nuevo: no es coña.

Si
 
 En cuanto regrese a casa te enviaré una copia de los scripts que
 yo usaba
 para la configuración. Espero que entre eso y los comentarios anteriores
 puedas llevar la cosa a buen puerto (paralelo, se entiende). :-)

Muchas gracias, ojalá se pueda.

 Sólo necesitas un cable paralelo 'tipo laplink'. Sólo es viable si los

Problema con disco duro

2001-04-04 Thread Enrique Marcote Peña
Hola:

Un colega me ha enviado un mensaje al que no he sabido contestarle y
sobre el que os pido ayuda para ver si alguien puede echarnos una mano.

---  Aquí va ---

Te comento la jugada:

Tengo un Intel Celeron MMX a 300 MHz con 64 Mb de RAM, y con un Award
Modular Bios V4.51 PG.

He comprado un disco duro Seagate U Series 5 de 30 Gb.

Antes tenía un disco duro de 4Gb con Windows 98 y todo iba bien. Lo he
quitado y he puesto en su lugar el disco nuevo (como maestro, igual que
el anterior), y al final del bus IDE.

Ahora lo que quiero es instalar un Linux Debian. Antes de nada, arranco
de diskette para usar el fdisk. Sin motivos aparentes, hay veces que me
aparece el mensaje 'Primary master hard disk fail'.

También hay otras que me arranca el MS-DOS, pero cuando voy a ejecutar
el fdisk, aparece el mensaje 'no hay discos fijos'. Incluso una vez
conseguí ejecutar el fdisk, pero al de poco tiempo, apareció el mensaje
'error al leer el disco duro'.

Si entro en la configuración de la BIOS, y le digo que me haga un IDE
HDD Autodetection, consigo que me localice el Primary Master:
PRIMARY MASTER
SIZE: 30015
CYLS: 3649
HEAD: 255
PRECOMP: 0
LANDZ: 5816
SECTOR: 63
MODE: LBA

Los errores me aparecen cuando el disco duro empieza a hacer un ruido
raro, como si 'rascara'.

También he intentado empezar la instalación desde el CD-ROM de Debian,
para usar el 'druid', pero me pasa lo mismo: hago las particiones, pero
cuando empieza a instalar los paquetes, empieza el ruidito, y se para.

Voy a intentar poner el disco duro en el medio de la 'faja' IDE, y a
cambiar la 'faja' también.

MUCHAS GRACIAS Y UN SALUDO.

--- fin del mensaje ---

Me parece que hace unos meses a alguien le surgió algo parecido en esta
lista pero no recuerdo exactamente el mensaje (me suena eso de que el
disco duro rasca).

Os digo lo mismo, muchas gracias y saludos a todos,

Quique

Re: Como confgurar e-mail

   Olá All.
 
Eu, até então usava somente como servidores de e-mail os smtp da vida do 
  meu provedor, gostaria de configurar um servidor de e-mail local 
  (tipo sendmail) para fazer este trabalho. Qual é o melhor software? Já ouvi
  falar em sendmail, procmail, qmail,  Ouvi falar que o procmail é mais
  fácil. Alguem poderia me ajudar na escolha e configuração do servidor de
  e-mail.

Bem, não sou expert mas consegui configurar minha máquina do jeito que
eu queria. 

Se você quer fazer sua máquina pegar as mensagens que estão
em um servidor POP recomendo usar o fetchmail e configurar com o
fetchmailconf, isto pode ser feito pelo usuário, sem a necessidade de
ser root. 

Se você quiser filtrar as mensagens que chegam, para ir pro
lixo, pra mandar uma cópia pra outro endereço... pra fazer o diabo
quando chegar uma mensagem que obedeça aos padrões que você escolher, aí
o que você quer é o procmail, que também é o usuário que configura.

Agora, se você quer configurar sua máquina como servidor smtp, mesmo que
ela não fique conectada à internet 24 ao dia, o exim tá de bom
tamanho. O que você precisa tomar cuidado é para sua máquina não ficar
com o relay aberto (é assim que se usa o termo?), pois deste modo outras
pessoas poderiam usar a sua máquina para enviar spam.

Isto é o pouco que sei, o pessoal que manda bem em servidores deve ter
melhores informações.

Abraços,

Re: comando chmod

Antes de enviar uma mensagem para a lista tentar pelo menos um
destes 3 comandos:

comando_que_voce_quer --help (chmod --help)
man comando_que_voce_quer (man chmod)
info comando_que_voce_quer (info chmod)

Em qualquer um dos 3 que você tentar você verá que a

Re: interface dxe rede

2001-04-04 Thread Leandro Alves
Luciano, nao sei se bem isso que voce precisa saber

Use o modconf para especificar o modulo da sua placa de rede e tambem para
adicioná-lo no sistema de boot.
Para isso voce devera saber qual o I/O e o IRQ que sua placa esta usando...

Depois de feito isso, para configurar a rede e' necessario saber pelo menos
quatro dados: o numero IP atribuido ao computador, o numero da Netmask da rede, 
o
numero da rede e o endereco de broadcast da rede.
Edita-se o arquivo /etc/network/interfaces e coloca-se os dados como pode ser
observado em seguida:

iface eth0 inet static
address numero_IP_computador   exemplo 192.168.1.5
netmask numero_netmask   exemplo 255.255.255.0
network numero_rede   exemplo 192.168.1.0
broadcast numero_broadcast   exemplo 192.168.1.255

No caso de existir um gateway na rede basta acrescentar uma linha com o numero 
da
maquina precedido da palavra gateway.

E' necessario ainda configurar a resolucao de nomes (DNS).
Edita-se o arquivo /etc/resolv.conf e escreve-se as seguintes linhas:

search dominio_do_computador
nameserver numero_IP_servidor_primario
nameserver numero_IP_servidor_secundario


Para activar os servicos de rede executa-se o script /etc/init.d/networking da
seguinte forma:
# /etc/init.d/networking start

Eh mais ou menos isso...
Aqui funcionou com o Debian 2.2, nao sei se tem alguma diferença para as outras
versões...
Espero que isso te ajude...
Ahh... outra coisa pessoal... estou começando agora, e por favor, se eu estiver
errado, não deixem de me corrigir... :-)

Eu uso o xserver-svga !!!
Acho que vc deve estar configurando o monitor errado tb!!!
Mas pelo xf86config realmente nao da pra configurar...
Vc tem que especificar depois algumas coisas na mao..
Como a resolucao e as cores
Em geral fica 800x600 com 8bit..
Ai vc tem que editar o arquivo e incluir as modificacoes...

 Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

 Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
 the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
 that package should be filed.
 The following information may help to resolve the situation:

 Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:

This was a problem in the perl dependencies due to me using a backported

Re: dpms problems with X 4?

 Yea, think this is something with the X screensaver.  X screensaver
 probably kicks on at 10 minutes, and doesn't go to Standby 'til 30

That should not be the case.  According to the xscreesaver man page,
xscreensaver should notice when the X server has kicked in DPMS and shut
the monitor off.  It doesn't manipulate dpms at all.  See the POWER
MANAGEMENT section of the man page.

One very odd thing is the output that 'xset q' gives during this whole
process.  Say I first do 'xset dpms 60 300 600' followed by 'xset q' I
see what I expect: 
DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 60Suspend: 300Off: 600
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is Off

However, a few minutes later, 'xset q' gives totally different results:
DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 10Suspend: 10Off: 10
  DPMS is Disabled

I could understand if I was running something like GNOME or KDE that
they might want to manage DPMS on their own, and could screw up some of
my settings, but I'm not using them.  The only clients are xscreensaver,
some Eterms, Window Maker, xconsole, and xset.

This strikes me as strange enough to possibly warrant a trip out of the 
comfy confines of the familiar Debian lists and into the unexplored 
region of the XFree86 mailing lists.  8^)

try something that actually plays a sound(xmms, mpg123, mpegtv, realplayer

it should work ..of course if your not in the right group and your

Smokescreens

Dangers of the Ecumenical movement:
 
Many Christians are joining the ecumenical movement, thinking God 
has ordained it to bring all Christians into unity. But this book 
reveals that the ecumenical movement is nothing more than a 
smokescreen, hiding the Vatican's real intent, to stamp out 
religious freedom and rule the world. Some of the information you 
will find in this book are as follows: 
Chapter 1 - The Wafer God 
Learn the difference between the Lord's Supper and the 
Mass--According to the Canon Law, anyone who ridicules or says the 
Eucharist only represents Christ and is not actually his body, is 
damned.
 Chapter 2 - The Hand of Rome 
Most Christians don't know anything of their heritage, the 
suffering of the early Church of Christ brought about by the Roman 
Catholic system. Learn of the St. Bartholomew Massacre and the 
massacre in Ireland. 
Chapter 3 - A 20th Century Inquisition 
We all know of the horrible inquisition of Jews, Protestants and 
others during the reign of Hitler. Hitler once stated, I learned 
much from the Order of the Jesuits. Until now, there has never 
been anything more grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical 
organization of the Catholic church. I transferred much of this 
organization into my own party. Hitler also stated, As for the 
Jews, I am just carrying on with the same policy which the 
Catholic church has adopted for fifteen hundred years, when it has 
regarded the Jews as dangerous and pushed them into ghettos, etc., 
because it knew what the Jews were like. Read what favorable 
words the press of the Catholic, Spanish dictator, Franco, printed 
about Hitler on the day of his death. You may say, Well, that was 
a long time ago. It's not like that anymore. But has the Vatican 
really changed? Let's look at her actions during World War II. 
Many of you have not read our Crusaders book, THE GODFATHERS, or 
the book, THE SECRE!
T HISTORY OF THE JESUITS, and, therefore, you don't really know 
what happened behind the scenes during World War II. So let me 
give you a brief picture of the conditions. 

   The Jesuits had secretly prepared World War II, and 
Hitler's war machine was built and financed by the Vatican to 
conquer the world for Roman Catholicism, Hitler, Mussolini, and 
Franco were to be the defenders of the faith. They were set up to 
win and conquer the world, and set up a millennium for the pope. 
Behind the scenes, the Jesuits controlled the Gestapo. All this is 
fully documented in THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE JESUITS, published 
by Chick Publications. 
  Read what the press of the Spanish dictator, Franco, 
published on the 3rd of May, 1945, the day of Hitler's death. It 
said, Adolf Hitler, son of the Catholic Church, died while 
defending Christianity. It goes on to say, Over his mortal 
remains stands his victorious moral figure. With the palm of the 
martyr, God gives Hitler the laurels of Victory. 
  Hitler himself stated, I learned much from the Order of 
the Jesuits. Until now, there has never been anything more 
grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical organization of the 
Catholic church. I transferred much of this organization into my 
own party. 
  Walter Schellenberg, former chief of Nazi counter-espionage 
made this statement: The S.S. organization had been constituted 
by Himmler according to the principles of the Jesuit Order. Their 
regulations and the Spiritual Exercises prescribed by Ignatius of 
Loyola were the model Himmler tried to copy exactly. Himmler's 
title as supreme chief of the S.S. was to be the equivalent of the 
Jesuits' 'General' and the whole structure was a close imitation 
of the Catholic Church's hierarchical order. 
  Franz von Papen, another powerful Nazi, who was 
instrumental in setting up the concordat between Germany and the 
Vatican had this to say: The Third Reich is the first world power 
which not only acknowledges but also puts into practice the high 
principles of the papacy. If you are not aware of what a 
concordat is, a concordat is an agreement between the Vatican and 
a government. As far as the Vatican is concerned, that government 
that signed the concordat has now become a part of the government 
of God, and the Vatican fully intends to stabilize that 
government, give it divine protection, and give it international 
protection. 



Like Italy, Germany signed a concordat with the Vatican in Rome, 
1933. 
The Godfathers, by Chick Publications, pg. 20


Signing the concordat is Cardinal Pacelli (later to become Pope 
Pius XII). By 1933 he was the Vatican Secretary of State. Second 
from left is Franz von Papen, a sinister Nazi and devout Roman 
Catholic who was Hitler's ace diplomat and the Vatican's agent in 
helping to bring Hitler to power. Standing at the far right can be 
seen the little-known Vatican prelate, Montini, later to become 
Pope Paul VI.

2001-04-04 Thread Nicole Zimmerman

I have a website that includes a virtual SSI directive for site
statistics. This worked for a long time, and it still *sort of* works, but
within the last week I have had some strange problems.

Things work within the local network, as far as I can tell (I have checked
on my computer and my husband's computer, which are both within the
network). They don't work anywhere outside of the local network.

PHP sites return the error:

Warning: Unable to include '/cgi-bin/file.cgi?options' - request execution
failed in /html/directory/subdirectory/index.php3 on line 156

HTML (.shtml) sites say:
[an error occurred while processing this directive]

The apache logs say:
[Tue Apr 3 21:15:40 2001] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] Premature end
of script headers: /directory/cgi-bin/file.cgi

[Tue Apr 3 21:15:40 2001] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] unable to include
/cgi-bin/file.cgi?options in parsed file
/html/directory/subdirectory/index.shtml

In the /html/directory Directory information I do have the Includes
option as well as ExecCGI. This is also true for the CGI directory. I
don't think this is critical considering it *works* locally.

Anyone have ideas as to what could cause this and how I can fix it? I
don't see any .htaccess files anywhere in these directories. The cgi
scripts are all owned by www-data:www-data and are 755. Why would it work
locally and not externally?

I have dug and dug and I can't find an answer. Insight is appreciated.
While searching I did find a LOT of other sites with these errors, but
none with a solution.

If you'd like to see the problem live, try colby.dhs.org (scroll over the
eyeball) for the html error and amimulletornot.dhs.org for the php error
(same thing, scroll over the eyeball).

Also, which runlevel do I switch to if I want to launch into a login screen 
in X? And what file do I need to edit to change the default runlevel?



In Debian, all runlevels are initially configured to be identical.
Debian has chosen to allow the sysadmin to customize the runlevels as
they see fit.  The upgrade process will not undo your customizations to
runlevels.

There are several packages that can be installed to provide a nice
graphical login screen.  xdm is the original and most basic.  wdm is
designed to provide a sort of NeXT look and feel, and includes a couple
options not found in xdm.  gdm is part of GNOME and provides a GNOME-ish
login screen, in addition to providing the extra features of wdm.  kdm
is part of kde, and is essentially the same thing as gdm or wdm, but
with a KDE appearance to it.  merely install the appropriate package
with apt-get, and it will automatically run (assuming X is configured).

That's a pretty valid point Roberto.. That is why I learned how to use/build 
radio! I see more and more of this repression  censorship everyday. I 
shudder to think what it is like for our debian brothers and sisters in 
nations where you can't legally even surf the internet for NEWS! It will get 
worse too. Here we have AOL. Big brother IS watching you, and hearing you, 
and keeping tabs on your non-encrypted email!

Fact is, the good ole net ain't what it was. RMS is a great example of what 
happened here in the USA - over night; it became a crime to share code!

dynamic ip's were/are a pain to live with, but in the radio world, we have 
met the challenge and I think that is what you need to see it as - a 
challenge.

Now the challenge will soon be that we run ftp servers on our boxes, but that 
may likely violate your ISP's rules of use. Same if you have apache running! 
Or ANY other service. It's just gonna get worse.

Good luck to you.

you should not use kernels older then 2.2.18 on either server or

running and things should work correctly.  also you should use NFSv3,
which you may have to enable experimental options in your kernel

mysterious problem with NICs, isapnp, and modutils

2001-04-04 Thread Jason Pepas



ok, this is driving me crazy.

first, let me catch you up to speed.

I am installing debian on a 486 with 2 NE2000 ISA 
PNP NICs. During installation, I use isapnp to get one of them 
initialized, and set it up as eth0 during the install. no 
problems.

I set it up to use io 0x240 and irq 5

now, I use pnpdump and generate a new isapnp file, 
go in and set up the two cards like this:

io 0x240 irq 3
io 0x280 irq 5

I edited the "ne" file in modutils to load eth0 and 
eth1, with the above settings.

I reboot, and the NE2000 module finds a card a 
0x240, and then uses irq 5 for it?!?!?

At that point I had no working NIC

So I went back and set everything up to just use 
one NIC, with io 0x240 and irq 3

still, the module tries to load the card as 0x240 
and irq 5.

When I did the install of debian, did it create 
some config file somewhere that I dont know about? Because I seem to be 
making all the correct changes and my system is totally ignoring 
them.

any ideas?

thanks

Re: Compaq Smart2 Array

2001-04-04 Thread Andreas.Trawoger

Hi!

I'm having the same problem. Configuring the Array with the Compaq Smart
Array Disk is pretty easy. Booting with Debian Compact Kernel is easy too.
The Kernel includes the Smart Array Driver and is detecting both controller
and array (at least in my case).

My problem is how do I tell the Debian installer that /dev/ida/c0d0 is a
valid hard disk? I'm only getting the message 'No hard disk found'.

After installing Debian onto a local Scsi disk I don't have any problems to
access the array.

Have you already configured the array?  I've only had to install NT on
Compaqs but before I even start installing the OS I have to configure
the array controller i.e. tell it which spindles should be used for each
of the logical drives, and what raid mode to use for each logical
drive.

IMAP server recommendations ?

2001-04-04 Thread Eugene van Zyl
Hi,

Any recommendations for a IMAP server (on Debian 2.2)? IMAP4.7c (I think this 
is UW IMAP?) seems to intergrates relatively painless and support most IMAP 
features (although I couldn't find anything on shared folders), courier-imap 
seems technically better(?) but confusing to set up especially making use of 
extended features like its altered maildir standard for shared folders, I can't 
seem to figure out what else this might break when using this? Also it's not 
very clear with courier where exactly the mail folders are going to be stored, 
/var/spool/mail or $HOME/?
UW-IMAP indicates that folders are stored in $HOME/ and it automatically picks 
up mail from /var/spool/mail as well as $HOME/mbox, this doesn't indicate 
whether these mail are then transported to an imap folder or left there (btw 
this is makes me lean toward it for easier integration).

Then there's cyrus(cyris ?) imap as well. Couldn't really make much from its 
docs though.

If someone that's running an imap server could give me some advice on what/how 
to install and set up partitions for storage, and in general which package 
gives the least headaces configuring. I also need to supply webmail access so 
would welcome any recommendations.

Also, is running POP3 and IMAP simultaneously possible/a big no-no? What 
caveats/issues are there?

Thanks in advance :-)

RE: Compaq Smart2 Array

2001-04-04 Thread Nathan Ollerenshaw
Yup,

The array was configured and in fact I had sucessfully installed redhat 7
and 6.2 on the machine. They recognised the compaq utils partition and
avoided it appropriately.

I think the problem is that the debian root disk doesn't have entries in
/dev for the /dev/ida devices, and can't detect them.

The compact kernel while booting saw the device, and listed all the
/dev/ida/c0d0p[1-7] partitions correctly, so the actual configuration of the
array was fine.

Re: Network Configuration

2001-04-04 Thread Nathan



First you need to find out what brand of card you have, then setting it
up for a static IP is pretty easy.
once u have found out what card you have and installed it in the kernel
then go to /etc/network and edit interfaces, it should look a little like
this:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.0.1
-=- change to you static IP

netmask 255.255.255.0 -=- the netmask for
your WAN

network 192.168.0.0
-=- change to your network address

broadcast 192.168.0.255 -=-
your getting the picture

gateway 192.168.0.10
-=- the IP of the computer that handles the Internet connection
now this may not be what u want but this is sort of the general idea
of how i did it :o)

 continuous play, etc.

Yes, I was going to point out to the person that suggested using
index points instead of tracks that many players can't handle them,
and that using tracks should not require any gaps. Most classical
CDs will illustrate this point.

However, just as some very early CD players would cock this up, there
are still some computer players making this mistake and inserting
silences into continuous music CDs. That's the player's fault, not the
fault of using tracks.

Saving some real radio file

2001-04-04 Thread Antonio Rodriguez
I want to save some real files, but this option is not allowed when you
run real player, is there any way of doing it? I figure dumping or
piping it, what would be the way of calling the executable for real
player from command line?
Also, my sound card has never worked under Linux (PCI 338-A3D), so I
usually do that from windows, any ideas from there about how-what to do?
This last really does not matter, since I can always get it while
running debian, and then listen to it in windows, or burn it and then
listen.
Thanks,
AR.

Re: Simple Install Question

2001-04-04 Thread David Wright
Quoting Kevin Stokes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

I wanted to have three partitions on my D: drive for Linux.  One was
 going to be for the root only, which I alloted 65mb for.   Another 1150mb
 partition was for /usr, /var and everything else.  Lastly was another 65mb
 partition for swap.

If you can manage it, it would be a good idea to have four partitions
rather than three. Two (/ and swap) would be good too, but you don't
gain a lot with three.

To get root small (65MB is fine), you need to kick out /usr, /var,
/tmp and /home. With four, you can separate /usr and make it readonly.
Then the other three can share.

One way of sharing is, at the installation stage,
Initialise a linux partition for /
Initialise a linux partition for /usr
Initialise a linux partition for /foo where foo is any short name.

Now switch to VC2 (Alt-F2) and

cd /target/foo
mkdir /target/foo/var
mkdir /target/foo/tmp
mkdir /target/foo/home
cd /target
ln -s foo/var var
ln -s foo/tmp tmp
ln -s foo/home home

Now switch back to VC1 and Install OS Kernel and Modules.

But while you're getting started, you might want to stick with only two.
By the time you decide you need more partitions, you'll have the
experience to decide just what size you ought to make them (different
for everybody).

Re: please lead me into basic mailservice

2001-04-04 Thread Admiral Thrawn
Configure Fetchmail to get the E-mails and feed them to the accounts on your
Linux router.
then install an POP server ( I don't know what it's called sorry. do a
apt-cache search popd {OR} pop ) your users should be able to use pop to get
e-mail from their Linux accounts via pop.

Fetchmail :  Get's E-mail from Multiple pop accounts and delivers them to
each Linux account on the machine.

Pop: Allows users access to there E-mail.Via a separate e-mail client

PS: This should be very easy to setup. Download, fetchmail. AND
fetchmailconf. Good docs and nice interface to setup fetchmail. oh. and the
config files are the easiest to understand an tweak. very cool program.

You can use Procmail to set up some funky filers, and do some much more
advanced Mail magic. but I've always had a hard time understanding the
config files. and have never used it.

Tell me how it works out. I'm gonna have to setup a full mail server with
sendmail and pop myself soon.

Re: mysterious problem with NICs, isapnp, and modutils

2001-04-04 Thread Admiral Thrawn



ahahahahahahahaha

Yeah Actually there is a misterious config file. 
IF! you gave modconf an argument to pass to the module. like IRQ=5 

If you did, then the file you seek to distroy is in 
/etc/modconf/{name of device] or it could be /etc/modules/[name of 
device]
I'm at work now and I don't have debian handy. ARG 
!

hope you get it to work. I had the darnedest time 
trying to get my sb.o module to work. the only time it would work is when I 
setup my card to use IRQ 5 and only 5. even if i passwd the driver an IRQ=7 or 6 
the driver would only work with the sound card and the driver talking on irq 5. 
I hope you don't have the same problem with the NIC's arg I wasn't a happy 
camper. GRIN

  ok, this is driving me crazy.
  
  first, let me catch you up to speed.
  
  I am installing debian on a 486 with 2 NE2000 ISA 
  PNP NICs. During installation, I use isapnp to get one of them 
  initialized, and set it up as eth0 during the install. no 
  problems.
  
  I set it up to use io 0x240 and irq 
5
  
  now, I use pnpdump and generate a new isapnp 
  file, go in and set up the two cards like this:
  
  io 0x240 irq 3
  io 0x280 irq 5
  
  I edited the "ne" file in modutils to load eth0 
  and eth1, with the above settings.
  
  I reboot, and the NE2000 module finds a card a 
  0x240, and then uses irq 5 for it?!?!?
  
  At that point I had no working NIC
  
  So I went back and set everything up to just use 
  one NIC, with io 0x240 and irq 3
  
  still, the module tries to load the card as 0x240 
  and irq 5.
  
  When I did the install of debian, did it create 
  some config file somewhere that I dont know about? Because I seem to be 
  making all the correct changes and my system is totally ignoring 
  them.
  
  any ideas?

Re: GLUG: IMAP server recommendations ?

On Wed 2001-04-04 (10:41), Eugene van Zyl wrote:
 Hi,
 
 Any recommendations for a IMAP server (on Debian 2.2)? IMAP4.7c (I
 think this is UW IMAP?) seems to intergrates relatively painless and
 support most IMAP features (although I couldn't find anything on
 shared folders), courier-imap seems technically better(?) but
 confusing to set up especially making use of extended features like
 its altered maildir standard for shared folders, I can't seem to
 figure out what else this might break when using this? Also it's not
 very clear with courier where exactly the mail folders are going to be
 stored, /var/spool/mail or $HOME/?  UW-IMAP indicates that folders are
 stored in $HOME/ and it automatically picks up mail from
 /var/spool/mail as well as $HOME/mbox, this doesn't indicate whether
 these mail are then transported to an imap folder or left there (btw
 this is makes me lean toward it for easier integration).

UW IMAP has had a bad security run.  It doesn't have much in the way of
flexibility; it requires you to change the way you run things.

 Then there's cyrus(cyris ?) imap as well. Couldn't really make much
 from its docs though.

Cyrus is the better mature IMAP server.

 If someone that's running an imap server could give me some advice on
 what/how to install and set up partitions for storage, and in general
 which package gives the least headaces configuring. I also need to
 supply webmail access so would welcome any recommendations.

I'd recommand Courier-IMAP; it's almost free (GPL), it's fast, and it's
modular and flexible.  It can integrate into almost any situation, and
can do IP-based virtual hosting, or username-based virtual hosting, and
lots more.  It's also designed in such a way that security problems are
less likely - on one setup, only the port connector (tcpserver from
ucspi-tcp) ran as root.

It interacts with at least phpgroupware (a nice product, actually - cd
/usr/ports/*/phpgroupware  make install, and access from
http://localhost/phpgroupware/ on your nearest FreeBSD machine), and
also has it's own direct-access webmail client, sqwebmail, which shares
authentication and such modules with courier-imap.  They're both part of
the Courier Mail System.

 Also, is running POP3 and IMAP simultaneously possible/a big no-no?
 What caveats/issues are there?

I think all have POP3 connectors - Courier-IMAP definitely does.  It
also supports STARTTLS and IMAPS and POP3S service.

Re: locking on NFS

 Is anyone running an NFS mounted partition where file locking correctly
 works?

yup for ages now.  

 I have a server running potato with kernel 2.2.18 and nfs-kernel-server and
 a client with kernel 2.4.2 and sid. My client mounts the partition but
 cannot do file locking. For instance mutt is not able to write a mailbox
 (shouldn't it be using dot locking anyway?). It just says mailbox is read
 only. 

mutt uses both (i think) dotlocking and fcntl (or whatever its called)
locking.  i think dotlocking alone may lead to race conditions since
there is potentially a delay before the lockfile appears on the server
and to other clients due to caching.

 Unfortunately I wasn't able to find some docs helping me so far.

ive never really had any problems since dumping the crummy userland
nfs daemons.  even with pre-2.2.18's broken NFS.  all i have had to do
is make sure nfs-common, portmap and nfs-kernel-server are all started
correctly and in the right order (which happens on a default install
of these packages if you didn't fiddle with the symlinks prior).  also
make sure you have NFSv3 support compiled into both kernels, any
clients should be running a newwer mount then what is in potato.  

also make sure that the client and server all have hosts.allow entries
for each other to access statd.  

make sure the lockd is running on all machines, and no firewalling is
in the way.

thats all i ever had to do, i currently have a 2.2.19 server, with
2.2.19 and 2.4.3 clients, locking works perfectly. 

the only time i ever had problems with locking was a long time ago
with powerpc rsycn kernel trees, if i used the make pmac-config target
the .config would end up screwed so CONFIG_LOCKD was turned off (this
is normally turned on when you turn on NFS, you never see this option
in config menus).  in this case it was simply to stop using the
obsolete, uneeded and broken make pmac-config target anymore.   (i
think powerpc at one point had issues with lockd too. they have
obviously been fixed since that 2.2.19 client is a powerpc)

 Hi all,
 
 I have a question about running Mutt and NFS together. My current mail

 I've read the Readme.NFS that came with mutt but would rather not have
 to mount the entire /home tree with the 'nolock' option.

If you use user-space NFS daemon, there's no ther way then to mount
with nolock, because Userspace NFS supports not really a good
filelocking mechanism. IMHO 

 Also, the mutt
 FAQ says that I can get around this by configuring mutt using the
 '--with-homespool' option, but I haven't figure out how to do this.
 
 Any hints/advice? Both boxes are currently running unstable.

Try to use Kernel NFS.

Star Office + XFree 4 + S3 Savage

2001-04-04 Thread Jeff
This is more of an informational post than anything.

I have a brand new shiny toshiba tecra 8100. This laptop uses S3's savage
video chipset. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why
sun's star office crashes when I click anything. Symptoms: Star Office
locks up X after the first mouse click.

Solution: Enable ShadowFB, or in the device section for your video card,

Section Device
   Identifier   Savage 3D
   Driver   savage
   Option   ShadowFB on
EndSection

Now, I don't know if it's fixed because the fb is on, or if accel is off.
Hw Accel is turned OFF when you enable shadowfb.

This seems to have fixed my freeze problems with X.

Now, hopefully one of the search engines finds this post sooner or later
so some other geek can get their favorite un*x office suite running.

With exim I saw the debian docs for courier indicate that I set Exim up for

then? also will the pop client (if not set to leave a copy on the server) kill

 I could understand if I was running something like GNOME or KDE that
