Re: running ntpdate as user
I think a better way to handle this is to forget about running ntpdate as a user. Instead, setup ntpdate, as root, in crontab to run every 12 or 24 hours. -mk On Wed, 2002-09-18 at 18:49, Andrew Pritchard wrote: > > > Anyone know what I need to change in order to run ntpdate as a user > > > without using su sudo ...? > > > > Without looking I assume that changing the time is a root privilege > > operation.

Just a tip for you zip100 users
I've been running RedHat for a few years now, but decided to change to Debian to test myself, :). And I've been learning a lot. I decided to backup to my zip some code I was working on. However, after the "conversion", I couldnt mount the zip under debian, and it was killing me. Until I took a very close look at dmesg # dmesg | more hdc: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 8200, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 hdc: ATAPI 24X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, DMA Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 ide-floppy driver 0.97.sv hdd: 98304kB, 196608 blocks, 512 sector size hdd: 98304kB, 96/64/32 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm Partition check: hdd: hdd4 Do you notice that the zip (hdd) drive is actually partitioned (hdd4)? so, instead of mounting # mount /dev/hdd /mnt/zip -t vfat I have to # mount /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip -t vfat It took me a while to realize this, and quite a pain in the ass.

Some viruses, such as Melissa and AutoClose infect this file. If I'm not mistaken, "normal.dot" normally does not get written to the drive except when changes to the preferences (to the template, actually) are made, or when the system is infected with one of these types of viruses. So the first thing I would do would be to shut down all of Word and rename "normal.dot" (a new one will be created automagically when you restart Word). See if that makes a difference. Another thing to look at is to see if wherever "normal.dot" is read/writable for your user. Assuming the file is not infected, and the file is being written as part of the normal course of events for Word, this could be your issue.

Problem is doc corruption
Later versions (after Word 6) of M$ Word have extensive corruption problems. One of the more benign versions of corruption sometimes looks like that message "disk full" that you described. To solve it, select all, then hit "F9" (update fields). Now go through, and look for some dynamically linked item such as an Equation that has been replaced by the small bold type "ERROR! Cannot update unlinked object!" or something like that. Put your cursor next to that equation, and hit "undo". Enter a completely new equation like the old one, just before it. Delete the old, corrupt equation. Save. ---> Aside from that, our experience has been that Word corrupts documents as they get larger, if you do any of the following: Paste end-of-line markers; paste tables; Copy/Paste (should cut and paste, preferably with an intermediary like text); change the definition of what "NORMAL" style is; use FAST SAVE; use VERSIONS; use MASTER DOCUMENTS; use EDITING. Corruption can result in: loop errors (computer locks up, trying to refresh a new screen segment that references itself continuously), longer loop errors (keep seeing the same page over and over as you page down), destroyed tables, destroyed text, missing text, destroyed formatting. If you get these problems, you have to clean the document. That means (1) debride all dead text, and save the remaining parts "as" a new file (2) go over those parts, and copy straight text to a clean document, never once copying a table or ^p paragraph marker In general, my advise is to name your files with version numbers, and "save as" regularly. FILE0001.doc, FILE0002.doc, etc. That way, if you do get corruption, you can get old text from the old doc. But you should also keep a handwritten journal of everything you do from one file to the next. - Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Ad removing proxies
I've decided that I'm bored of waiting for the latest and greatest ad to come down doubleclick's apparently slow link. So I've decided to resolve this problem with a technological solution. I've been looking at proxies, in the debian testing branch: filterproxy - A filtering proxy, which can among other things remove ads. privoxy - Privacy enhancing HTTP Proxy wwwoffle - World Wide Web OFFline Explorer muffin - A personal and extensible Web proxy Are the 4 that seem to fit the bill. What are people's impressions/evaluations of these? Is there a better one I've missed? wwwoffle, but with little success. Is someone using wwwoffle who can show me part of the config file so I can see where I'm going wrong. I only have a small site - 2 or 3 people at most. Have people found scaling these a problem?

Re: binaries into deb's [newbie]
Hello Kevin, I'm not an expert, but I usually: apt-get the packages debhelper debianutils debconf-utils and compiling tools create a mutt directory in /usr/local/src (for example) and cd into it add deb-src lines in your sources.list apt-get source mutt Then you have in /usr/local/src/mutt/mutt- the original source tree with a few dirs and files added, basically under debian directory. In this directory you'll found 2 important files: changelog: to add comments about the patches added to the main tree. To add a comment use, under source root directory: "dch -i", that creates a skeleton of the comment to fill-it. rules: A script that makes the compilation and install. In this file you can put the lines with the patch commands or you can patch yourselve prior to the compilation. To compile and make a deb file: debuild binary. this command executes the rules file and creates a deb package in the /usr/local/src/mutt directory. Hints: You can save your deb package to be override for a new one from the debian tree using a diferent version (for example for my packages I use -darlock.). Well, I'm not an expert, but I did a few packages using this formula. Feel free to send me an e-mail if you have any problem.

exim right choice?
Hi, i currently use a dual boot win98/debian 3.0. Since i'm having so much fun with debian, i am going to put my Suse 7.2 server on debian too. While i'm doing this, i would like to set up a simple mail retrieving mechanism. I think exim will do the job fine but i want to be sure :-) My network is setup like this: the dualboot pc behind the suse 7.2 server which has connection to the internet via cable. I have 2 mailboxes at my isp, 1 for me and 1 for my wife. So i would like exim to run on my soon-to-be debian server and check the mailbox from me and my wife at my isp's site every x minutes and store the mail locally on my server. Then i would use Kmail (or another client) to connect to my server and get the mail from there instead of from my isp. Of course, i don't want to retrieve the mail from my wife. Would save me a lot of time since i'm currently subscribed to a couple of debian mailing lists and they are quite busy :-) When sending mail, my mail client should send it to my server which then would take care of sending it to my isp's pop3 server. The whole setup would add an extra step: instead of email client - isp it would be email client - local server - isp. Is a combo of kmail / exim able to do this without to much trouble?

It's a very good proxy, and highly configurable (though this means that it takes a little while to set up). Tied into squid I have adZap: http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/adzap/ Which is basically a giant blacklist of URLs that squid blocks ads from. It works very well (IMHO), and there's a cron job included to automagically get the latest ad blocking URLs once a week. It blocks images, javascript, flash, and java ads, and replaces them with either a blank space, or a message that says "This Ad Zapped". Very nice. I don't know much about the other proxies; you might be able to get adZap to work with them as well if you don't need the overhead of squid. If you want to try that approach, I can share configs if you run into trouble. Jason -- Jason Healy http://www.logn.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

perlapi-5.6.0 for unstable
Hello All, I would like to know if anyone has an idea when the perlapi-5.6.0 package will be released for unstable. I know that there currently working to get Perl 5.8 into unstable but i kind seem te find any information about this. I know that there are package for perlapi-5.6.0 from the Perl 5.8 package maintainer but the link he provide onto the mailinglist is a dead end.

Re: Lyx package
There is a lot of development for the upcoming release, because the Lyx people are creating new frontends of the package using Gnome and Kde, that will give us the LyX in the debian main. :-) In the LyX web page you'll found the beta packages, but they aren't usable at the moment (or I'm not able to do it).

Defoma Info Needed
I am tracking Debian "testing" with a few packages from "unstable". I run the XFS font-server, and frequently have to manually update various config files after an upgrade to get my fonts back. Most of this seems to revolve around using defoma. I am trying to get a handle on the defoma package and fonts in general and need some pointers. 1. Is there a faq/mailing list for defoma? 2. Which Apps are "defoma aware" and make use of it? I am aware of the "apps" button in dfontmgr, but currently my system only lists a few apps (6) such as abiword-common, gs, pango, etc. 3. Is there anyway to make the recommended defoma FontPath changes in X "stick" over upgrades to X, or through a "dpkg-reconfigure ..." of the xserver if you have accepted debconf config of the XF86Config-4 file?

Re: Connecting to X remotely w/ssh
The only way to run applications over ssh IMHO is using the application remotely, but NOT start the X server with startx. You can make an ssh with X forwarding active adding a -X to the command line (if your SSHD server allow X11Forwarding, that under Debian is deactivated by default). You can check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config to activate it. Once in the remote host you can launch any X11 app and it will be displayed in the local X. To start an entire encripted remote session (I don't recomend it) I suggest you to allow the XDMCP and if you can trick with SSH create a tunnel of the XDMCP port. You'll find in www.openssh.net all the information about tunnelling. I prefer the first method, because it's the fastest and you can execute any remote app mataining the desktop local (someone that doesn't consume CPU if you use a 'memory-controlled' desktop).

A solution for your situation would probably be to use an agent like fetchmail to pick up mail from the respective pop3 mailboxes at your isp and then forward them to your local MTA (exim) for delivery to your respective local mail folders. You don't send mail via a pop3 server. If you have exim running it will be able to send mail via smtp to the intended recipients, without having to use your isp's mail servers at all. So it would be email client -> local server -> remote server. I don't use Kmail but I can't imagine it would be difficult to get it to poll your mail spool (default on debian is /var/spool/$USERNAME) for incoming mail and use your local smtp server for outgoing mail. -- Ben Goodstein Human Being Extraordinaire -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It is derivated from junkbuster, so it will block cookies, javascript, depending on the way you configure it of course.

Just run kmail, let it grab the mail from your isp's server. For local smtp transport (to your smtp server at the isp), ssmtp is a nice, easily configurable replacement for sendmail or exim.

IPv6 DNS Queries
Hi, I've compiled my kernels (40+ systems) without IPv6 support and I have no desire for IPv6 in any format at this time. However, I see that I am transmitting IPv6 DNS queries, in IPv4 packets. Two things: 1. This is causing my DNS servers to get hammered, almost forcing a DoS. 2. How the heck do I stop this from happening?

Re: exim right choice?
My ISP only lets me get my mail if I am on their network so what I did was setup fetchmail to go poll my ISP Pop email box and pull it into my Debian box sitting at home and drop it into an IMAP account then I use Kmail or the webmail program I set up to check my mail from work/friends houses etc. Since it drops it off into a local IMAP server I don't have to worry about leaving my mail behind and losing it and trying to remember where that important email that I got is, if I pulled it in at work or what, with IMAP the mail sits on the server till I delete it.

Hi all, I've asked related questions in the past without success. So, I'll try one more time. I'm just looking for a pointer to the correct place to resolve the difficulty. I'm using the XFree86 experimental 4.2.1-0pre1v1 debs because my rage pro 128 is not supported by previous editions. DRI will not enable because it needs a newer version of the r128.o module than is in the kernel. The log says it needs version 2.2 or higher and 2.1.16 is in the kernel. I'm using kernel-image-2.4.19-k7. My questions: How are kernel modules numbered? Apparently they do not reflect the kernel-numbering system? Since I am using the latest stable kernel where do I go to find a newer kernel module? Is this even the right list to ask this question? If not, a pointer to the right list would be helpful.

Hm. I've never seen this, and I build C++ code all the time ... if you
were missing a library then you'd get undefined references, not a crash,
like this:
$ cat foo.cpp
#include
int main() {
cout << "hello, world!\n";
}
$ gcc foo.cpp
/tmp/cc2su6Vb.o: In function `main':
/tmp/cc2su6Vb.o(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `cout'
/tmp/cc2su6Vb.o(.text+0x14): undefined reference to `ostream::operator<<(char const
*)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$ g++ foo.cpp
$ ./a.out
hello, world!
$

Re: Woody: What's the proper name of the C++ lib?
Hi Colin! Thanks for your quick reply! Some further info on this topic: I was able to build the same app successfully on a SuSE 7.0 system (glibc 2.1.3 based) with the following version of ld: GNU ld version 2.9.5 (with BFD 2.9.5.0.24) So it *seems* to me it's really a Debian Woody specific ld bug.

Type1 font in LaTeX
I am running Debian/woody and have installed the freefonts package. Now, I would like to use the Baskerville font that comes with it in LaTeX. How? I have these files: $ locate baskv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/baskvl.pfb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/baskvlb.pfb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/baskvli.pfb $ I am _not_ familiar with fonts, TeX, psfonts or anything like that at all, so please don't get to technical :) I understand that I also need the font to work with dvi and postscript (gv or something) as well. Preferably, I should be able to use dvipdf to create a pdf with the fonts included as well. I have surfed alot but what I have found is not exactly aimed at my level, so I turn to you for help.

Kmail is a good choice, I am sure, but it is irrelevant in the rest of the setup. What you need is: - fetchmail: which fetche... (f*ck that ;). Works like user@isp is user@in_my_local_network - exim: local mail server (or MTA which most docs will call it). Used for accepting mail from fetchmail and making sure you're outgoing messages leave your own network to go to a smarthost (smtp@isp for instance. That is smtp not pop3) - imap: courier-imap is a good choice, but there are, as always, choices. Exim needs to deliver to maildirs if you pick this imap package (not the default for exim, but quite easy to setup). - Mail client: pick one, it's very difficult to find one that does not work in above scenario. If someone runs Windows with Outlook on your lan, then that should be no problem at all. Please spend some time educating that user, but technically it is possible. Just point your client at your newly created imap server. Use exim as the smtp server in your client. I have made something like this work for my parents.

Hi, I find that I get 48 'xdaliclocks' and 14 'xvidtunes' opening up when I start a session in Gnome 1.4 ... at first it was amusing but I have not been able to stop this either by using the 'kill' or 'close' commands in task manager, or by closing each window individually. At least the numbers are not increasing any more and the files are not very large. In a previous RH install I had StarOffice 5.2 doing the same, but the numbers kept increasing ... 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 15 copies of Star Office opening up until RH became so unstable that I, perhaps unfairly, gave up on it and switched to Debian. I did have those apps open previously. Are they being opened now because I possibly did not close them before doing a 'poweroff' ? And how does one stop the current behaviour ?

Well... I don't know anything about mutt, but ~/.mozilla is usually a non-executable directory containing configuration files for your mozilla profile. I'd suggest using the correct execurable for mozilla. To find it, try running "which mozilla," minus the quotes and the comma from the command line.

First off, make sure you're either in the staff group, or that you are root when doing the make install -- otherwise it will fail when installing. Second, you can usually type 'make uninstall' (again, if you're in the staff group, or as root) from the directory with the sources (i.e., where you compiled the program) to uninstall/remove the program and all files it installed.

Re: help with dual-head OpenGL?
First; let me say thanks for the support!

I know I had it working in a Woody install back in February, which is about the last time I had a chance to spend much time with Blender. My screensavers are generally less processor-intensive ones, like Bouboule or something, so I didn't notice the lack of GL on the second display with a particular round of apt-get upgrade.

Well; it certainly was slow by comparison to newer (DRI 3D-accelerated) cards, given that I have two Mach64 cards in my box.

I understand this isn't the case with British English, but I happen to live on the new continent, so I figure I should follow local rules. What's more, after looking at what I wrote, there really should be another comma after the word "comma" and before the word "from." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It sounds like you used to have gdm as your login manager, so check to make sure it's still installed - 'dpkg -l gdm' should return an ii status. The upgrade from potato to woody for X was fairly rough, in my memory. Check to see if you have any X v.3 packages still installed.
