Yes, it is. You need to compile 'rtc support' either into

Go ahead, you can switch it off. Usually a normal 'joe'

Ethan posts:

Agreed that 'hwclock' updates the hardware clock
while shutting down the m/c. This does not have
anything to do with the 'rtc' module and hwclock does
in no way use it. The 'rtc' module gives you access
to the real time clock (or hardware clock) built
into your computer.
Yup, it is a good thing to have rtc support if you do
data sampling work or on an SMP machine. Otherwise
it is not needed for a reasonably stable CMOS clock
that you normally have on your uniprocessor m/b.
It should not drift, that is you should have a stable
clock tick.
The hardware clock is synced with the system clock,
when you go down with an init 0/6. I think that the
system clock can adjust a drifting hardware clock.
How was the system clock set ? It was set from the
hardware clock when you booted up. See the script
hwclock.sh in /etc/rcS.h. So, is 'rtc' really
needed ? I would say no. Correct me if I am wrong,
tnx anyway.

Proposal: dpkg change: scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci
Hello, I mounted /var as noexec/nodev because of security reasons. I created partition /exec for using it on scripts etc that needs to be executed. Now I can't install packages - dpkg extracts package into /var/lig/dpkg/tmp.ci directory which is created for every new package and removed after installasion. the workaround could be moving whole /var/lig/dpkg to /exec partition and making a symlink from /var/lib. Well I don't like this way. prerm and postinst scripts are stored in /var/lib/dpkg/info - making THIS a symlink seems much better. but I even would like dpkg to put all scripts in separate directory and run it from there. making tmp.ci a symlink to /exec is impossible because that symlink would be removed every time dpkg is called Therefore I propose changing dpkg behaviour - store all scripts in separate directory that wouldn't be removed every time dpkg is called. comments? -- Matus fantomas Uhlar, sysadmin at NEXTRA, Slovakia; IRCNET admin of *.sk [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ ; http://www.nextra.sk/ Spam = (S)tupid (P)eople's (A)dvertising (M)ethod

I created partition /exec for using it on scripts etc that needs to be executed.

Well I don't like this way. prerm and postinst scripts are stored in /var/lib/dpkg/info - making THIS a symlink seems much better. but I even would like dpkg to put all scripts in separate directory and run it from there. making tmp.ci a symlink to /exec is impossible because that symlink would be removed every time dpkg is called Therefore I propose changing dpkg behaviour - store all scripts in separate directory that wouldn't be removed every time dpkg is called. comments? yes, just remove the noexec for /var. noexec provides no real security whatsoever. nosuid,nodev are more useful. try this: $ cp /bin/date /noexecfs $ /noexecfs/date (you get a permission denied) $ /lib/ld-2.1.3.so /noexecfs/date (date runs normally) this is for potato, woody/sid would probably be /lib/ld-2.2.2.so or something. the point is noexec does not prevent you from running binaries on that filesystem. same thing with shell scripts, /bin/sh /noexecfs/shellscript.sh works just fine without even execute permissions. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/ pgpGoZk1YCcqv.pgp Description: PGP signature

While we're on the topic, I would love to see the -S option to dpkg take symlinks and relative paths. Currently, when I do a dpkg -S /usr/bin/vi, it doesn't track the symlink through /etc/alternatives to nvi. I think it should. It's not that hard to do.

Re: upgrading kernel 2.1
I have had Debian 2.1 installed and running in text mode for about a year now. I have not played with it much as I prefer to have a working X server, hence I have used and maintained several Mandrake systems, which I am sick of. I am stuck in text mode in Debian with a dial up connection as I live way out in the woods where this is all that there is available and so all I have to work with. Is there any hope for me upgrading my Debian system? Mandrake is so proprietary that it reminds me of Microsoft, if a package does not say -mdk.rpm it will most often not install on my systems and that is only the beginning of the problems that I have with their systems. from kernel.org, is there a way that I can get it to compile under Debian kernel 2.1, as I have not bothered to even try after my Mandrake experiences? Of course you can compile kernel 2.4 on your Debian system. The only question is whether you really need the new features provided in kernel 2.4. Compiling a kernel is distro-independent. There is a Debian way to do it, please refer to the manuals, but you can also make it via make clean dep install.. HTH Stephan

Re: cdda2wav not copying right? (long)
Hey, When I said it was moving too fast, I meant the CD-ROM was reading the data faster then the system could keep up with, which is basically what you are saying. :-) Ah... Sorry about that... :) Some of the time the system was idle (other then ripping) and a couple of times I was switching between workspaces, but not doing much. The only activity is disk I/O. The SCSI LED is lit solid! I've moved large amounts of data between disks and not seen the bus this saturated. The CPU is idle other then [EMAIL PROTECTED], I've tried doing it without [EMAIL PROTECTED] running and was able to produce a skip. Hmmm. If you're getting skips without any other system activity, then it might be a problem with SCSI throughput...here's a section from the cdda2wav README: Recommendations for higher throughput on Linux SCSI systems === Higher throughput will give better chances for non-interrupted sampling. This should avoid typical interruption errors (cracklings at buffer boundaries). 1. Increase SG_BIG_BUFF to (128*1024) in /usr/src/linux/include/scsi/sg.h (and recompile your kernel and boot it :-). NOTE: Some kernel configurations will lead to 'out of kernel memory' errors.

cd-burning problems
Hi, I tried to set up everything for burning cds under Linux. The basic setup is working for root, but there remain a number of problems. 1.) Is it actually possible to burn cds as normal user (neither root and nor suid-root)? I did create a group cdburn, changed group ownership and the permissions of /dev/scd* and /dev/sg* to brw-rw and crw-rw respectively and included myself into the group cdburn. cdrecord -scanbus then shows that cdrecord run as user can access the devices. But when I actually want to burn the cd I get: cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot do mlockall(2). cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns. cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using setpriority(). cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns. cdrecord: Operation not permitted. shmctl failed to lock shared memory segment Looking around, the only suggestion to solve this I found was to let cdrecord run suid root. Is this the only way to make things work, or are there other, more secure solutions? 2.) Things get worse if I try to use gcombust or gtoaster. - In neither of these programs I'm able to add files to the file list. In gcombust files added appear all with size 0, calculating used sectors gives 0 too. In gtoaster dragging and dropping a file from the source to the destination part simply does nothing, similarly creating a directory does nothing. (Strangely enough: Neither in gcombust nor in gtoaster there seems to be a problem in adding audio files.) - Trying a dummy (test) run in gcombust gives the error messages from cdrecord (as one would expect), but additionally I get: /usr/bin/mkisofs: unrecognized option `-graft-points' OK, this is gcombust 0.1.42, gtoaster 0.3, cdrecord and mkisofs 3:1.8-3, under up to date debian stable.

Back up (onto cdrw/tape/network storage, etc) once or twice a week so there's no great worry if something is deleted. 2. Alias 'rm' to 'rm -i' and then use 'rm -f' when you're certain you want to delete large numbers of files. I've found the extra typing of '-f' is likely to prevent mistakes. 3. Set up some form of two-stage delete system. A very rudimentary one could be to alias 'rm' to a script that instead of deleting files moves them to hidden status (prepends '.') and maybe appends some known unique extensions 'whoami-DEL' (or whatever). Then you can setup a cron job to delete this nightly or the like. Surely, others can make this much more elegant (delete them when free space is low, prevent possible namespace clashes, ensure security issues); I just wanted to throw out an idea.

Re: cd-burning problems
The only thing I can think of is to make the cdrecord command itself part of your cdburn group. I usually use su - in a shell and from there use cdrecord to burn my cds. -- Stephen On Saturday 07 April 2001 11:56 am, Andreas Goesele wrote: Hi, I tried to set up everything for burning cds under Linux. The basic setup is working for root, but there remain a number of problems. 1.) Is it actually possible to burn cds as normal user (neither root and nor suid-root)? I did create a group cdburn, changed group ownership and the permissions of /dev/scd* and /dev/sg* to brw-rw and crw-rw respectively and included myself into the group cdburn. cdrecord -scanbus then shows that cdrecord run as user can access the devices. But when I actually want to burn the cd I get: cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot do mlockall(2). cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns. cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using setpriority(). cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns. cdrecord: Operation not permitted. shmctl failed to lock shared memory segment Looking around, the only suggestion to solve this I found was to let cdrecord run suid root. Is this the only way to make things work, or are there other, more secure solutions? 2.) Things get worse if I try to use gcombust or gtoaster. - In neither of these programs I'm able to add files to the file list. In gcombust files added appear all with size 0, calculating used sectors gives 0 too. In gtoaster dragging and dropping a file from the source to the destination part simply does nothing, similarly creating a directory does nothing. (Strangely enough: Neither in gcombust nor in gtoaster there seems to be a problem in adding audio files.) - Trying a dummy (test) run in gcombust gives the error messages from cdrecord (as one would expect), but additionally I get: /usr/bin/mkisofs: unrecognized option `-graft-points' OK, this is gcombust 0.1.42, gtoaster 0.3, cdrecord and mkisofs 3:1.8-3, under up to date debian stable. Any help? Thanks a lot in advance Andreas

Re: Help! Accidentally started deleting /usr
Hey all, By the way, is there any way of setting up an undelete for averting this kind of disaster? My Dad mentioned that Novell Netware has an undelete which basically puts off really deleting stuff for about 5 days --- unless it has to because of lack of space. This sounds like a _very_ useful feature. Good lord, please NO. Having an undelete, IMHO, leads to very sloppy practices - better to learn to make backups of important data - and to use the root account with care. Basically, proposing an undelete feature is trying to automate against stupidity - and that's a never-ending battle, trying to protect the system from the worst-case scenario user. There were some good suggestions, though - make an alias from rm to 'rm -i' so that you always get prompted against making massive mistakes. I've accidentally deleted a few projects in my own home directory - but I make backups at least once a week and burn them to CD. Even in the event of a catastrophic failure of my hard drive, I only need to buy a new drive and copy my home directory over.

Re: custom kernel can not install
This may not be the simplest way to do it but... Download and compile the source for pcmcia-modules (or is that pcmcia-cs?). Build and update a custom deb for pcmcia-modules.
