I am in a Windows environment so I set up Samba to enable shares. Pursuing a more practical solution, I changed the "security=user" default to the following global options: security=server password server= servername and then, as a test, changed my Windows network password. I was able to access my shares on the Debian machine after that using the new password. That makes me think that my Samba setup is successful in passing on the authentication to the domain PDC. However, I would like to also access my user account on the Debian machine which has the same login ID as the one I use for the Windows network. Is it possible to set this up so that the password either gets updated automatically from the PDC, or, in the very least, it can be authenticated against the PDC? I know that when the "security=user" option is used, one can set the "unix password sync" option. Is there an equivalent for "security=server"? -Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Repartioning NTFS
What I'm trying to do is setup a duel-boot system that will be running my current OS (Windows XP) and Debian Woody. My problem is that my hard disk is a NTFS file system and the FIPS program they say to use in the install manual doesn't say anything about repartioning anything but FAT file systems. If anyone knows of a free disk partioner that will allow me to make another partition without destroying the files already on my system I would greatly appreciate a responce.

Woody & Locales
Dear list, I have just noticed that Woody maintains two distinct dirs for locales. /usr/share/locale # created during install and /usr/lib/locale # reported by localedef --help On my system to get cs_CZ & en_US locales working I had to compile them in /usr/lib/locale by hand. Now this perfectly works under GNOME, I can pick any language from GDM and the locale vars are set accordingly upon user login. This however does not work in KDE. IS THIS CORRECT?

I think it actually means that strace couldn't attach to the processes in question. I only have a very vague memory of the original problem, but that vague memory says it got fixed sometime during the woody development process.

Just tried this and got the same error - it's failing on the untar. e.g. dpkg-deb: wait for tar failed: No child processes >All just vague stabs in the dark really... That's cool, thanks for all the suggestions anyway! I'm suspecting i might have some kind of broken glibc action going on. I think that it might not be able to re-attach to tar because of an actual corruption in the library binaries that handle that kind of thing. Maybe it's half installed and some of the hooks to do with process attaching aren't there or some weirdness like that. Hopefully it isn't something sinister. I really want to see if i can solve this without a complete re-install. A re-install of this particular system would not be too awesome at all. If anyone else has any hints that would be great.

Debian on Gericom Webshox
Hello, I have problems installing Debian with an Graphical environment (ie now only text-based) on my Gericom Webshox. A friend told me, its because of no recognition of the gfx-card. Also, during installation I have problems for not getting all the text on one screen, and no idea how to scroll down/minimize the text. This was a big problem when I wanted to partition my HD, no way I couldnt see the last 2-3 lines where the commands are given. Greatful for help!

First, please post in english, otherwise most people here won't be able to understand you. Second, as far as I know, Woody should have no problem running X with a Geforce 4 MX card ... just make sure that you know all the relevant information of your monitor, video card, keyboard and mouse before you start to configure your X-Server. Third, if you then encounter problems, read the man-pages first and try to get the system running by yourself. If this fails, post the error-messages here together with some useful information like what you have done so far, which kernel you are running etc Hope that helps Matt PS.

Absolutely. The tar process goes open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 5.
So perhaps the tar package is one that is built to use a newer (or
older?) version of libc. You're trying to install that version, but
because its not already installed the tar breaks (then why does it work
on its own but not when inside of dpkg???)
Perhaps when you successfully --unpack'ed the libc6 package it overwrote
/lib/libc6.so, but because it didn't 'install' it didn't update
dependent packages. Check the system details against the following from
a working up to date debian potato system

That honestly sounds really unlikely. I think it was actually a race
condition in the code in dpkg that calls tar, so it randomly broke
depending on timing. If I get a chance tonight I'll try to dig up the
old mailing list threads about it - I couldn't find anything in a quick
search of the bug tracking system, but it may not have been there.

You could try chedking the hardware compatibility list to see if your video card is listed as supported hardware.

It *probably* isn't postfix, then. Is this the last daemon to start during boot? Even if it isn't, it's possible that a previous daemon or the next daemon in the boot order is causing the delay. I know, for instance, that on my machine, the USB routines will be showing on-screen, and I'll have a delay before the last item shows... but that this is due to my webserver taking a while to load (on average, about 10-15 seconds!). You might try going through each of the scripts in your default runlevel to see which ones have delays. If postfix doesn't take long to start when you do it manually, my bet is you'll find another script in there that does. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

USB hotplug, woody kernel
Hi, I have Woody, nominally with USB support (that is, I see /dev/usb), but I can't get it working. I tried simply "mount -t vfat /dev/usb /camera" , plus variations of vfat as auto, and variations of /dev/usb as /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2. That didn't work: it said my camera (a cheapo) was not recognized as a block device. I've been over to linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net, and it looks like I need to get my hotplugging up to speed. I have /usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb/hotplug.txt, but do not have /sbin/hotplug . So it would seem *some* hotplugging software is there, but perhaps not everything necessary What do I need to do, Debian-style, to get my hotplugging up and running?

The openssl in unstable includes optimized libraries for serveral processors that really speed them up, as much as 2x in some cases. This is a good example of heavy number crunching code that can use compile-time optimization (and ls is not .. ;-). A little-known fact is that linux's linker makes it very easy to produce optimized little libraries (which can contain only the tight loop that really needs optimization in an application, for instance), drop them in an appropriate /usr/lib/ directory and have the best one be picked automatically at program run (well, link) time. This makes it a lot more practical to do per-processor optimizations on binary distributions like debian. -- see shy jo msg05753/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

That didn't work: it said my camera (a > cheapo) was not recognized as a block device. Do you have generic scsi support running -- this would be the module "sg"? What about the usb-storage module? (To find out, do an 'lsmod' as root, and see if these appear.) If not, do a 'modprobe sg usb-storage' as root -- and you'll need to add these to /etc/modules. If these modules are not present on your system (you'll know if you get an error message), you'll need to install a different kernel (I'm using the kernel-image-2.4.18-586tsc on my system, and it works) or compile your own with the proper modules. Both of these modules -- usb-storage and sg -- are needed to communicate to usb storage devices. Once these are loaded, you should be able to use the camera just as you were trying. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

My points were * When one of your users sends a mail, it's going to exim. At that point, exim needs to deliver it, and fetchmail really can't (well, shouldn't) get involved - cyrdeliver, as you are doing, seems the proper thing to do. Therefore, I mentioned that my setup, where I use fetchmail, because I want to download mail from a POP account, won't work (well, isn't the best way) for you. * Since cyrdeliver is running under exim's user (mail) for you, and either under root or the recipient's user for me, your problems may stem from permissions, and you need to see what happens if you try doing the delivery under a different username. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Accessing USB Camera pics
Okay, I have Debian, Woody, Hotplug, USB, and a cheap junk USB camera. How do I access my pics? I'd really like three answers: (1) How to access them directly as files, if possible (2) Best way to download them as pictures, and save them (3) How to create nice compressed .mpgs from it (my camera supports 8 seconds of movie, high res, 32 seconds low res.). -SPECIFICS-- Okay, got my USB up and running: hotplug installs via dselect, and will put a directory in /proc/bus/usb. I even found that, having created a "/camera" directory I can mount it manually to camera via mount -t usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb /camera So far, so good. But when I look at this directory (or the hotplug directory), I see that I only have the following: [001] devices drivers [001] in turn contains files 001 and 004, with a few junk lines of data (sorry, don't have DOS Debug, and don't know of an equivalent that would allow me to easily figure out the binary code). Devices is a file that contains the following: T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#=1 Spd=12 MxCh=2 B: Alloc=0/900 us (0%), #Int=0, #iso=0 D: Ver=1.00 Cls=09 (hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=8 #Cfgs=1 P: Vendor=000 ProdID= Rev=0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=1020 C: #Ifs=1 Cfg#=1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#=0 Alt=0 #EPs=1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

In my experience, the automatic termination on the 2940 usually isn't. Make sure that the bus is terminated properly and if at all possible don't have the 2940 handle it at all. And before you ask, yes it's entirely possible that even a screwed-up SCSI bus would work well enough for the host adapter to identify the drive, but still not be able to actually use it. -- Marc Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] msg05771/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I just got it working this weekend. Seeing /dev/usb in not enough. First as has been said, you need the usb-storage module. I also had to turn on USB support in my BIOS. > I tried simply "mount -t vfat /dev/usb /camera" Should this work? Here is how I did it. The usb-storage module emulates a SCSI channel, so it needs SCSI support compiled in too. Then it creates a psuedo SCSI conection. Cat /proc/scsi/scsi to see which one. Mount the appropriate SCSI dev file. The tricky part is that you have to look at all of the SCSI devices and figure out which ones will get the sd devices and which yours will be.

You don't mount your USB bus as a filesystem. You might mount a particular USB device (which would be some device node under /proc/bus/usb, or possibly somewhere else due to emulation performed by the device's driver), but not the bus itself. > Devices is a file that contains the following: Devices is a virtual file created by the USB subsystem that describes the USB devices currently connected to your machine.

How about virtual interfaces? IIRC eth0:1, etc. (check the syntax - I can't look it up right now). Each could have an interfaces entry, they could each be DHCP, and they could each be made to send the MAC address of the machine that they route for. Makes setting up routes easy too - all traffic on eth0:4 gets sent to box4, etc. Just a thought, Steve -- This will be a memorable month -- no matter how hard you try to forget it. msg05791/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'd really like three answers: >(1) How to access them directly as files, if possible >(2) Best way to download them as pictures, and save them >(3) How to create nice compressed .mpgs from it (my camera supports 8 > seconds of movie, high res, 32 seconds low res.). As a result of what you have done, you should see the contents of your camera on /etc/sda1 (unless you already have scsi devices when it may be something different. mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /camera My setup is slightly different, I have a smartmedia card reader which I have plugged the smartmedia card from my camera in to it - but I believe that many camera models do the same. In my case the jpeg images are stored in a subdirectory on this device dcim/100olymp - I think most cameras should use dcim followed by some other directory. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9odGzuFHxcV2FFoIRAh3fAKCFd1re5CuOHDOYnEXAD41TgbZp0ACfWeyN u/dEZfcBNhQqqOPTjbloBuo= =P4nQ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
