imap - ssl
I think I'll start simple. I would like to install an imap server. If possible, I would like to do SSL-imap. But the description to the courier-ssl package says I have to provide a purchased X509 compliant certificate. Ok, I don't have the money just for me and a few friends. So does anyone have any alternatives to suggest? Can courier-ssl work without the fance certs using something simple like mozilla? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Freeswan kernel compile
When you chose to install freeswan you are told taht you will need to build your own kernel by installing the kernel-source package and kernel-patch-freeswan, which cn be automatically applied when using make-kpkg. Well, that's just great. What the hell does it mean? Ok, I have the kernel-source package and the freeswan kernel patch. Reading the man page for make-kpkg, I'm still not certain what to do.

Latest unstable Galeon using wrong gconfd?
Is this a known issue? I didn't see a bug on the Galeon reports page, but I'm not sure the bug is in Galeon. I just upgraded to the latest galeon/mozilla-browser/mozilla-psm from unstable, which also upgraded a number of other packages. Afterwards, Galeon wouldn't start: it gave me an error: GConf Error: Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory) I removed my entire .galeon directory, ran the recommended gconftool operations in the FAQ, etc. but no luck. I noticed that I have /usr/bin/gconfd, but I also have a gconftool and gconftool-2, so I made a symlink /usr/bin/gconfd-2 to gconfd, but that didn't help. Then I made a symlink /usr/bin/gconfd-1 to gconfd, and now everything starts properly with no errors. So, someone somewhere on my system still wants to find gconfd-1; I don't know if it's Galeon or someone else. I did a find in my entire home directory for "gconfd-1" and nothing showed, so I don't think its my config files. Any ideas? -- --- Paul D.

console-common problems
Hi,
I get errors while configuring console-common:

This might be because you'r console cannot be open. Perhaps you don't have

Any hints?

What are the things to look out for? I'm not sure what you're asking; you're using mbox now and would like to switch to maildir?

It's a special type of "file" into which process can write to and read from in a FIFO manner. Any writing blocks until another process reads. Similarly, reading blocks until another process writes. This simple example has one process continually writing the date to the fifo, and any other process can read the date from it. Something to note is that reading the fifo as a file won't give you an endless file with a continuous stream of dates from it; it will just give you one line with the current date; as if you had used 'echo `date`' in place of 'cat /tmp/datefifo'. > > # while true ; do echo `date` >> /tmp/datefifo ; done & > # tail -f /tmp/datefifo > Mon Apr 29 17:27:23 CST 2002 > Mon Apr 29 17:27:26 CST 2002 > Mon Apr 29 17:27:26 CST 2002 > Mon Apr 29 17:27:26 CST 2002 > Mon Apr 29 17:27:26 CST 2002 > > and that is all I get?

I'm running it in xterms like this: while : ; do date > ~/tmp/datefifo ; done and in a second xterm, any number of cat ~/tmp/datefifo or even while : ; do cat ~/tmp/datefifo ; done don't affect the other process. My only guess is that using tail -f is making it screwy somehow. Are you killing the tail with ^C ? Maybe the other process gets a SIGPIPE and for some reason this takes the gnome-terminal down with it. I've tried that in my setup as well, but nothing I do seems to kill the original process. I also don't see why you get multiple dates from a single 'tail' command. It seems I don't fully understand this stuff either. =/ Maybe somebody more knowledgeable can speak up and help us out.

Newbie C programming question - OT
Hi all, I'm trying to teach myself C and am writing as little PIM to go with mutt in console mode. To date, my only programming type experience has been developing mult-user databases for contact management in VBA. In VBA, forms have fields and fields have events like OnEnter() and OnExit(). I can create very nice forms in ncurses but I can't seem to find the equivalent functions for me to manipulate. So I end up with good forms, a good data structure but no a good way of passing data from the forms to the tables (I like the use of writing fields OnExit() ). Two questions: 1. Is there a C programming tutor list that's recommended? 2. Does anyone know of a ncurses C program that really uses forms and is well commented? Thanks in advance.

There are a whole bunch of individual cron.daily jobs that rotate log files for various packages (generally using the "savelog" program). Needless to say, this approach makes administration of log files a royal pain, since there are a whole bunch of individual scripts that have to be modified instead of just changing the configuration for logrotate. Since logrotate is an "important" package, I don't think it would be a big problem if packagers depended on it for rotating logs rather than installing individual cron.daily jobs.

Ah. "pkgnames" isn't, as I'd assumed, a metacharacter for "list of packages to operate on", but a string literal which lists the names of all packages installed on the system. I rarely use anything but the 'show' and 'search' directives. 'man apt-cache' will reveal a number of useful options. The '-P' option to dpkg is a shorthand for "purge".

Everything works fine except sound. This is OK as I know that I need 2.4.x for my sound to work. I then installed kernel-image 2.4.16-k7 to the system and everything including the sound works fine, and has done for about 10 days. Today I went to backup some data to CD and my CD writer was not recognised. Infact my scsi sub-system was not recognised. I played around for a while but could not get it to work. Eventually, as it had worked under potato, I rebooted into 2.2.20 and it worked fine. Now, I am not completly new, but not far from it. For people like me, and newer ones the fact that the instalation kernel (2.2.20) when replaced by a distribution kernel image from the same source (2.4.18) would be expected to run the same hardware, and it doesnt in this case.

With each respawn/termination, init logs an event to utmp/wtmp. Adding a "+" to the inittab entry prevents init from filling up wtmp with mgetty related entries: T1:23:respawn:+/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 38400 ttyS1 -- Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

2.2.20 -> 2.4.18 kernel-image -> X hangs machine
hi i posted this the other day, but no response. X was perfect under woody and 2.2.20. after installing both a custom 2.4.18 and the two latest kernel images, the same symptoms remain. when you startx or let gdm start, the screen blanks, flickers and the machine is totally hung. in my previous posting i thought there was a log produced, however subsequent study reveals that not to be the case. nor does startx 2>xlog produce anything. if i insert an error into XF86config-4, then i get a normal failure and a log. since this configuration works perfectly under 2.2.20, it looks like the problem must be kernel-related. but using the stock kernel-image should take care of dependencies. from startup console near the end: --nfs PCIC module not defined in startup options! --sshd that's about the only complaint i can find... has something to do with probing pci or pcmcia... message comes from /etc/init.d/pcmcia so i don't think it is relevant.. clueless in new mexico dave -- Dave Mallery, K5EN (r/h 7.2 krud; debian woody) PO Box 520 Ramah, NM 87321 no gates .~. no windows... /V\ /( )\ running GNU/Linux ^^-^^ (Linux TM Linus Torvalds) free at last! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

compiling KDE3 - missing dcopidl
Hi, I am trying to compile KDE3 from source. I have compiled and installed arts and kdelibs and am running into the following snap during configure for kdebase: "checking for dcopidl... not found configure: error: The important program dcopidl was not found! Please check whether you installed KDE correctly." Chacking on the Debian packages search page I see this is in kdelibs-dev. I can see no kdelibs-dev amoung the KDE3 sources on ftp.kde.org. kdelibs from KDE2 wants to remove: libpng-dev libqt3-dev libqt3-mt-dev qt3-tools so I assume this would be the wrong route as well. I compiled and installed KDE3 on Slackware from CVS sucesssfully a few months back and did not run into this (though there were other problems of course !)

Re: Tool to find out info about machine ?
begin Kapil Khosla quotation: > I am interested in knowing the hostname, possibly location (server),of a > remote machine whose IP address is known to me, For hostname information, try "host". This will only work if they have reverse DNS set up for that IP address, and set up "correctly". For location, you are largely screwed because this information isn't stored in any standardly-accessible way, but you might be able to make some inferences using "traceroute". Those inferences can easily be wrong, however. The surest way to get what you want is to ask the administrator of the box, because there's nothing that says he has to set up reverse DNS to match his hostname, and he may not be in control of the reverse DNS at all. For information on how to use those commands: man host man traceroute If you don't have either of those programs, I recommend the following packages: traceroute bind9-host There is also a "host" package, but it has a serious feature ommission that the maintainer sees as a "wishlist" item. bind9-host doesn't have this particular issue. Note that there are many other programs that will do similar or identical things to these. As usual, there's more than one way to do it, and someone will most certainly think my way is wrong.

[ I assume that you mean that you don't have apt installed ] I believe that a standard debian install *should* have apt. Which distribution of debian did you install? Any errors reported during the install (I hope so) ? Apt is not *required* as such. It is quite feasible to run a debian system without apt, but such a system would be cumbersome to keep updated. As long as you have dpkg installed and can get hold of the .deb for apt, then you can : # dpkg --install apt_.deb Which leaves the problem of getting hold of the .deb file.

Trouble with Eterm
Hi, I have some problems with Eterm after an upgrade on 2002-04-22. Startup of Eterm takes 13 seconds, themes had a wrong version, terminal setting errors while sshing to other machines. (http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/debian-user-200204/msg03974.html) I fixed the theme version by hand, but all other problems stayed with me. I filed a bug, talked to Eterm's developer; he found in my trace files that the delay is spend in X, namely in XCreateFontSet(). (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=144528) Note that the error didn't show in Eterm 0.9.1. Today I again apt-get-upgraded in the feeble hope that my problems would stop. To the contrary: - My fixed theme was overwritten unannounced. This was easily fixed. - I get a failed assert: - - - Schnipp - - - [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Eterm ~ Eterm: Warning: ASSERT failed in bbar_draw() at /tmp/eterm-0.9.2/src/buttons.c:823: bbar != NULL Eterm: Error: Received terminal signal SIGSEGV (11) Eterm: Error: Attempting to dump a stack trace - - - Schnapp - - - (No core, possibly because of ulimit.

To lock them there, you really need to run the ftp server in a chroot environment. You could setup a chroot environment for your ftp server on a directory and then *hardlink* /chrootbase/home/username to the users home directory. Only hardlinks can break out of a chroot jail. For a hardlink to work it must be on the same physical disk partition. Yes, I could do that. But the problem is as you say that hardlinks need to be on the same physical disk. Thats my problem. I got one small 4G disk for system and users and two more disks for ftp and other stuff. Looks like I need to solve the problem I got with the 2.4-x kernel. I'm running woody and 2.4.-18 on my laptop (dell inspiron 4000) with no problems, but this (ftp)server is an old IBM Aptiva 166mmx, wich I have not been able to boot up again after compiling new kernel, from 2.2-20 to 2.4-18. Because with the 2.4 kernel I can use the mount --bind option. Then I can mount one folder to another, including folder from one disk to another. Another way would be to lock them via the protocol. Like an ftp server that allows very precise Access Control Lists that will deny the listing of any directories not specified (for *any* user logged in, not just anonymous). I'm not sure of a server that does this. You may want to do an appraisal of their features. That's also a solution, just hoped I could solve this in an not so "advanced" way:) Thanks for help /ernst Kind Regards Crispin Wellington -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I was trying various things and what finally helped was specifying the addresses from /proc/ioports in append line: this is what linux thinks it has (from /proc/ioports): cc00-cc07 : Artop Electronic Corp ATP865 d000-d003 : Artop Electronic Corp ATP865 d400-d407 : Artop Electronic Corp ATP865 d800-d803 : Artop Electronic Corp ATP865 dc00-dc0f : Artop Electronic Corp ATP865 and this is append line from /etc/lilo.conf that worked: append = "ide2=0xcc00,0xd000 ide3=0xd400,0xd800" what I don't understand why would linux find it out (without any append line), after all it found the device, the ioports, why doesn't it use it? could it be related that it thinks it's scsi storage device? from lspci output: 00:09.0 SCSI storage controller: Artop Electronic Corp: Unknown device 0009 (rev 02) yet it works as IDE...

Thanks Getting more specific would help. Probably what you want is a fifo, and a process that continually writes to it. For example: mkfifo /tmp/datefifo while : do echo `date` >> /tmp/datefifo done Then, see what happens when you cat /tmp/datefifo in another console.

To lock them there, you really need to run the ftp server in a chroot environment. You could setup a chroot environment for your ftp server on a directory and then *hardlink* /chrootbase/home/username to the users home directory. Only hardlinks can break out of a chroot jail. For a hardlink to work it must be on the same physical disk partition. Another way would be to lock them via the protocol. Like an ftp server that allows very precise Access Control Lists that will deny the listing of any directories not specified (for *any* user logged in, not just anonymous). I'm not sure of a server that does this. You may want to do an appraisal of their features.
