Why not use a file system that allows you to do this, like reiserfs or ext3 (or xfs - but I think that is not so easy) I haven't looked recently - and I haven't time right now, but I think the running of fsck is controlled by the startup scripts.

Re: gcc 3.2 & kernels compiled with 2.95
No personal experience here, but I read on the linux kernel mailing list that if you need to compile both the "main" kernel and any modules with the same compiler. The c++ ABI has changed from 2.95 to 3.x series, which means any c++ application that you compile with a 3.x compiler will not be able to work with a c++ library that is compiled with 2.95 (and visa versa). I believe there may have been an ABI change from 3.0.4 and 3.2. I am pretty sure that any c or fortran code should be okay with respect to using code from either compiler version with the exception of the kernel and modules as stated above. If any of this is wrong please correct me.

gcc 3.2 & kernels compiled with 2.95
Hi, I don't quite understand the complexity of the process to move Debian to gcc 3.2. It seems there's an issue about programs compiled with 3.2 not being able to work with libraries compiled with 2.95. Without going into too much technical details, could somebody tell me if this is correct? I was just wondering if this transition is going to cause trouble for those of us who compile our own kernels using gcc 2.95.

[Apache] htaccess Problem about Two Definition
Hello there, I'm now confused about how authentication with .htaccess on Apache is implemented. Suppose that I got two directories, /home/Anderson/public_html/ and /home/A/B/, and they are all defined almost identically in httpd.conf : Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo AuthConfig Order allow,deny Allow from all Order deny,allow Deny from all (.. Same as above) The only difference maybe is that /home/A/B is a VirtualHost(www.ABC.org). Now I am planning to authenticate my users by usernamd and password controlled by LDAP if they are not connecting with a specific IP I indicate. When I put my .htaccess under /home/Anderson/public_html/ and /home/A/B/, it seems that only the one under /home/Anderson/public_html/ works. While I try to access www.ABC.org, all of the authenticative function is invaild and users are permitted to view my page without any restriction. Here is my .htaccess : AuthName "Login or Kick Your Ass !" AuthLDAPUrl ldap://www.xxx.org/.. AuthType Basic Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 10.0.0.1 require user Arthas Thrall Jaina Satisfy any Was there any mistake I made during my configuring or something I missed here?

I hadn't noticed that the first time around. I'm digging through the bash manpage, and the default for PS1 is "\s-\v\$ " (\s is basename of $0). The restricted option is based on an 'r' in the first character of the shell name, so this is no doubt likely culprit. I did notice the following in the manpage: A login shell is one whose first character of argument zero is a -, or one started with the --login option. Yet the same info is in a version of the manpage dating to 1995. But it worked before! > So that's the "why", but unfortunately I don't know the proper way to > set it up. It looks like I can remedy the problem for doing a "set -r" in /etc/profile, but I'm a bit flabbergasted that this feature has gone from defaulting to a somewhat secure setting, to a blatantly insecure one. Surely I'm not the only one to have been burnt by this? I've re-read all the info I found previously on using bash in restricted mode, and setting the user's shell to /bin/rbash is normally adequate (with a restrictive $PATH, etc.) Thank you for pointing the difference out, as I'd missed that important clue.

Setting up Sendmail
Hello, Woody. I am having some difficulty getting Sendmail up and running. I installed the program apparently with no problems. I ran: sendmailconfig after the install, also apparently no problems, no errors reported. But nothing works either. So I looked in /etc/mail/ and there is no sendmail.cf so I tried running sendmailconfig again and it asked if it should configure using the existing sendmail .conf and I said yes. And it reported there was no /usr/sbin/update_conf which there isn't as it's in /usr/share/sendmail/ (Question one: could I just move it to where it wants?) There is no existing sendmail.conf in /etc/mail/ either. When I tried to create a sendmail.cf using: cd /etc/mail m4 /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 I first got a permission denied and saw that the files in /m4/ were all marked non executable. I marked them executable but I am not sure if that was the right thing to do. I re-ran m4 etc and got this error message: NONE:0:m4: ERROR: EOF in string I tried looking up EOF (?end of file?) on Google where there are many references and no explanations. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program several times and I always end up at this spot. Does anyone know how I get out of this?

I'm not a filesystem expert, but I'd say that a journaling filesystem like ext3 or reiserfs is wasted on Oracle, since it does far more journalling than the filesystem will ever do. Make sure you have your Oracle controlfiles backed up, logfiles replicated on more than one partition (preferrably more than one device), datafiles backed up regularly, and logfiles archived somewhere safe.

yeah, only syslog entries that are not caught by any of the other
filters will end up in the files messages.$HOST, if a syslog entry
matches a filter it should be redirected to the appropriate log file.
as for local log entries maybe something like:

would work ?? I'm not sure I found the above unix-stream entry here:

I can get it to pull an IP if I manually run pump /sbin/pump -i eth0. I have no problems using a static ip, or getting an ip in Windows.

Kerberos only tries to deal with the problem of matching usernames and passwords; it doesn't include any support for propagating things like /etc/passwd. You'd need some other way to distribute this sort of data; MIT uses Hesiod (which these days is a slightly hackish layer on top of DNS), but LDAP could probably also fill this niche. Kerberos also addresses the problem of authenticating yourself to various services; if your mail server is compromised and you just have password authentication, the attacker now has your password and can get access to other things, where a compromised Kerberos-using server only has authenticators that are specific to that server. (You're still really hosed if your master KDC is compromised.) > AFS: The old approach. Somewhat secure. Is also (no, really? :-) ) > compatible with AFS. It uses a modified Krbv4 system.

I don't know of anything tying AFS/Kerberos/LDAP (or any pair involving LDAP) directly together, but this doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

compare filesystem types ???
Now that we have several filesystem types (ext2/3, reiserfs, &c.), where can I go to find out pros and cons of each? Is there some filesystem-selection-HOWTO? For instance, what is the best filesystem type on which to install a database, specifically oracle? Also, setup and configuration hints are valuable (e.g., block size) . . .

ipmasquerading question
Hi all, I've just install woody on my ultrasparc1, i've setup my internet connection on it using dhcp on eth0 (cable modem), but now i want to make my sun station a gateway. I've tried to setup ipmasquerading with iptables, as i've not very experience with Linux/networks 'until now i've used Mandrake and Suse for desktop. So i'v follow instruction found at http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tutorials/homegateway but unfortunately it doesn't work well: - on my sparc - i can ping www.google.fr (etrh0) - i can ping internal network 192.168.1.xxx (eth1) - i have messages like "ipconntrack table full droping" - lsmod =>ipt_MASQUERADE... 0 (unused) iptable_nat ... 0 [ipt_MASQ...] ipconntrak ... 1 [ipt_MASQ.. iptable_nat] ip_tables ... 4 [ipt_MASQ.. iptable_nat] - iptables -L =>can't initialize iptables table 'filter': Table does not exist... - iptables -t nat -L =>empty tables - on my desktop - i can ping my sparc by its IP 192.168.1.1 - i can ping my sparc internet side with its IP - i can't ping google.fr (my /etc/resolv.conf is good _ same as my sparc) - ethereal show a lot of request (from my desktop) on internet ip address family and lot of arp request on my local net (from my desktop) (who has 192.168.1.xxx...) Another question is thatr i want to make my sparc a firewall too, is there in debian woody specifics packages to do that? has anyone any tips? thanks Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

RE: smb.conf on Debian
David, You will need to add a user account to your linux system (ie adduser ). You will then need to ensure that password encryption in smb.conf file has been turned on (or similarly the windows registry has been hacked to avoid this). Then set up a smbpasswd for this new user account. Under global settings in smb.conf change this (if not already changed): encrypt passwords = yes Then add this line (strangely it wasn't in my smb.conf file and I had to manually add it): smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smpasswd I was quite confused by all of this (and still am to be totally honest). Note that this will allow the Windows XP machine to see the home dir created when you did the adduser. I'm not sure how to set it up so that that Windows user can see the home dir and any other dirs that you might want them to. I'm only newish to samba, so I hope i've told you the right stuff, if I haven't I apologise. I'm sure someone will correct my faux pais. Good luck, hope I helped.

It would only pop up on demand, and xmessage takes a timeout as an argument. Since the listener would be started in the user's X session xmessage would have access to the display. Of course, without some basic access control any random person could just start spraying UDP datagrams all over the place and annoy everybody with xmessage windows, but one problem at a time I suppose the magnitude of that problem (and others) depends on the environment in which you would use it. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Lars, Firstly, please keep your posts to the list so others may benefit and contribute. I compiled the driver into the kernel instead of making it a module. The reason I did this is because I see no particular advantage in having a driver that is used 99.9% of the time be dynamically loaded and unloaded into the kernel. I think you can get more information in Thomas's reply to your original post. I was using 2.4.18 till last week, and then moved on up to 2.4.19. I am attaching my kernel config file. You should think about compiling a customized kernel. I did compile in pcmcia and cardbus support, though I don't think it is used by the driver code. Here's the relevant portion of the kernel config file. # # PCMCIA/CardBus support # CONFIG_PCMCIA=y CONFIG_CARDBUS=y # CONFIG_TCIC is not set # CONFIG_I82092 is not set # CONFIG_I82365 is not set I also compiled in hotplugging support, which I think is needed.

As a prerequisite, you should be connected to a network before booting your machine. I don't use the pcmcia-modules package as it's not needed with this particular model.

debian menu in kde
where can I read up on the internal workings of the kde menu system? I would like to figure out how to get it to use the standard debian menu system (kde 2.2.2 does its own thing). -jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yet another reason to use 'type' instead of 'which':
vineet@pianoman ~ % type test
test is a shell builtin
vineet@pianoman ~ % type which
which is a shell builtin
Oops, I cheated: I use zsh =)
vineet@pianoman ~ % bash
vineet@pianoman:~$ type test
test is a shell builtin
vineet@pianoman:~$ type which
which is /usr/bin/which
vineet@pianoman:~$ file /usr/bin/which
/usr/bin/which: Bourne-Again shell script text executable
For a more complete discussion, try:
man bash
/ *type

Maybe you can just leave and xconsole running and use remote logging? Maybe you can make use of some colorizing script, too, to highlight these messages in the xconsole window, or just configure syslog to only send those particular messages to the /dev/console.

That oughta do it. As an alternative, how about setting up an ssh key with command=xmessage and environment="DISPLAY=:0" in the authorized_keys file and let that take care of it?

Unable to print when using Debian 3.0
I'm sorry if this post is not appropriate for this mailing list. If there is a more appropriate mailing list, could you let me know? Currently, I'm unable to print on my Pentium-II while in Debian. When in Win2K, I can print alright. The printer is a HP DeskJet 720C. I have confirmed that the modules for the parallel port are being loaded (lp, parport-pc, parport), and that the device shows up as lp0 (I see this when I look at the dmesg output). The first thing that I did after I installed Debian, was to apt-get "printtool". It installed LPR-PPD, I think, and after selecting the appropriate device, and driver, I tried printing, but nothing came out. Second, I tried recompiling the kernel and modules, trying different methods, all unsuccessful. I've tried compiling the drivers into the kernel, disabling FIFO, etc. I know that the driver is recognizing the port, because when the appropriate IEEE protocol is activated, the printer responds to one of the modules being loaded by reporting its name (DeskJet 720C, blah). When I had problems with SPARC-Debian, disabling the FIFO was enough, and printing worked. This seems to be the only suggestion that the printing README files have for i386 Debian, but I'm not having any success. Does anyone have any suggestions? Have other people been able to print when using Debian on an i386 type computer with the latest releases? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Generally speaking, you should be able to open up a deb, edit some files, and re-package it as a deb with a new name, but this won't be good enough for your kernel package. The kernel info like -486custom.3 is actually built into the kernel. As evidence of this, look at the output of uname -r, and also watch where the kernel will look for modules under /lib. You could probably get around the module problem with some symlink hackery, but you're probably best off avoiding headaches by just recompiling it. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.
