Make applications remember their positions and sizes
I am tired of having to redimension abiword Xemacs and the like each time I run them. I know I can specify the applications to start maximized using Window Maker but that is not enough flexible for me. I used to modify the .XResources, but I was wondering if there was some kind of easier way built-in Gnome, so that these settings get automatically kept for each application. Is there something like that available? Jerome -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Troubleshooting Mozilla
I accidentally visited a website that gave a bunch of pop-ups (I typed in the wrong URL), and blew Mozilla away. when I re-loaded, I wanted to delete any cookies it left, but I cannot access the "Preferences" under the "Edit" menu. Any suggestions? I can access the mail client, and the "Mail & Newwsgroup Account Settings" but if I try to access "Preferences" the browser window disappears! (Along with the Mozilla mail as well). Mozilla just completely dies. I can re-load Mozilla, but I cannot ever get into the Preferences now.

postfix + cyrus-sasl2 smtpd auth failed!!!
hi...every debian users Some days ago , I set up my mail server with postfix + sasl2. I can easily use them with the sasldb methond. Yet now I want to use the other method such as the getpwent or shadow. So I edited the /etc/default/saslauthd with the strings START=yes MECHANISMS=getpwent and postfix with the setup strings smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,check_relay_domains then I restarted the saslauthd and postfix. When I tried to send some mail through the mail server , It came out the password dialog. I did typed the correct password but the server said wrong... I am confused... So I rewrote the saslauthd with the option MECHANISMS=shadow. However I still couldn't send any mails. Can someone give me some advice to solve the problem. My packages were listed below ii postfix 1.1.11.0-3A high-performance mail transport agent ii postfix-pcre 1.1.11.0-3PCRE map support for Postfix ii postfix-tls 1.1.11.0-3TLS and SASL support for Postfix snapshots pi libsasl2 2.1.2-2 Authentication abstraction library. ii libsasl2-digestmd5-plain 2.1.2-2 DIGEST-MD5 module for SASL ii libsasl2-modules-plain2.1.2-2 Basic Pluggable Authentication Modules for SASL ii sasl2-bin 2.1.2-2 Programs for manupulating the SASL users database thanks for all -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I agree. But I don't even know if this is what David was asking, as his mail is very short and terse. If you want a dual gateway system (ie. two DEFAULT routes) that your system balances between (like having two ISP's), then have a read of the Advanced-Routing-HOWTO. If however its just an internal lan (192.168.*.*) and the world at large on the other interface, then the 192.168.*.* interface shouldn't have a gateway entry at all.

You can setup ppp to setup the default route for you when the pppoe link comes up. in /etc/ppp/options make sure the line "default" is not commented out. You can also put a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ that will be run whenever a link comes up and the same for /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/ .

I do not believe so, thats a different layer of networking(lower layer). it *MIGHT* be possible if you setup a static ARP entry in your arp cache, look at the manpage for "arp" how does the ISP reccomend you manage the gateway? I can't imagine an isp would do such a thing and not provide DHCP or something to assign addresses.

Yes, apt-get install imp would be great. I think I will use quirrelmail until then, I really did not have any fun with imp before.

I'm trying to make the debian (sarg) imp packages to work, but as I've found, there are a couple of very important bugs for imp as well as php4-imap that just wont let me run imp. Actually, on this ultrasparc box I'm running I can't even run apache after installing php4-imap :(.

Default gateway
My adsl connection gets a different ip address each time it connects, this makes setting up routes tricky. Is there anyway to setup routes using MAC addresses or even eth1 instead of using the ipaddress ?

Installing the kernel headers package will put the headers in something like /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18 or similar. The NVidia Compiling script looks for them in the linux default /usr/src/linux Thus you should symlink one to the other... ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18 /usr/src/linux Then the NVidia compile script should be able to find your modversions.h Kind Regards Crispin Wellington signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I hate to disagree with someone else on the list but my experience would tell me that doing the above alone will not be enough to have the box take advantage of 2 gateways. I've worked for several hours trying such configurations to no avail. one of my former co workers managed to get partial functionality with dual gateways by using the 2.4.x kernel and policy routing(none of my systems are 2.4.x and I have never tried policy routing) your free to try of course but I believe all packets will go out the first gateway that is established. and don't try changing the metrics on the routes, this has no effect on them unfortunately. you can search the list for my posts in the past(about a year ago), probably has the word 'multihome' in it. you'll also have to configure your system to re-write the source address of outgoing packets from eth1, this can be done in policy routing as well I believe. It's not easy, it wasn't worth it for me. It would be easier perhaps if you used a routing protocol such as RIP or BGP and a software daemon to handle routing, but that adds a whole new layer of complexity, my networks use static routing. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

New Debian User - Totally Impressed
Greetings, I just switched to deb3.0 from Mandrake8.0. I am beyond ecstatic with it. The install was easy (used 7cds from Linux Central), user-friendly, the defaults were acceptable even for a total beginner. I don't know a whole lot about Linux even after my past several years of constant use - the Redhat/Mandrake world has fogged my brain I guess. I've installed and used Redhat 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, Mandrake 6.0 and 8.0 over the past few years, and have been using Linux exclusively for that whole time. Redhat crashed often, and was a mind-numbing puzzle to update RPM's and figure out where things installed - nothing matched the Linux info I was reading on the web. Mandrake was more graphical and easier - I tired of puzzling over the thing - just wanted something stable, and I knew (thought) that Linux was more stable and powerful than M$-Windows. But despite its graphical ease, Mandrake crashed constantly! I thought it was my flaky hardware (not!), and I despaired of using Linux. I had often bragged to friends about how stable Linux was, how resource-efficient, and how Linux users rarely had to turn their computers off or reboot because of crashes. But it was practically a lie! I was so embarrassed when my system would crash constantly, even when no apps were running - yaaaghh! I've been using Debian3.0 for 3 days now - fast and stable - tons of packages that are easy to get and install. Already I've learned how to start ppp from the console and how to do it via scripts (chat/provider/pon/poff) - something I could never do in Mandrake/Redhat - I normally just rely on kppp to do the job for me, and I never learned anything in the process! Even rebooting my computer with Mandrake would cause a kernel panic - I had to wait 5 minutes before turning my computer back on or else Mandrake would freeze/kernel panic during the boot. Doing a system halt would segfault under Mandrake! I couldn't leave my computer on at the kdm logon screen - it would freeze the entire system. Once I spent a long hour on the web creating an online retirement plan with a lot of details, and then my computer just FROZE UP and I lost everything! Yaaagh!! The list just goes on and on.. I could talk your ear off with it all. Normally I wouldn't have dared to type such a long note without first saving it, in case Mandrake would crash and I'd lose all my wonderful typing. Sorry for abusing bandwidth and list etiquette with this long email - I'm just on cloud nine because I'm finally using a REAL Linux, and I can now truthfully say: LINUX IS UNBELIEVABLY POWERFUL AND STABLE! Debian Linux that is! Thanks again for listening, Chip Rose [EMAIL PROTECTED] Virginia Beach, VA "Debian Rules" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

My first guess is that you didn't set up your MTA correctly. I don't use Exim, but I'd expect some question about local systems/domains and a smart host or relay host.

Help with amavis-ng_exim installation?
This is in my sent box but I never saw it hit the list from this end.
One more try.
G
Installed amavis-ng and did the configs for exim.
Everything works fine (using ~/.procmailrc for final delivery) with the
amavis stuff commented out.
Everything gets properly delivered to /var/mail/username if the user has
no ~/.procmailrc
However, when I uncomment my amavis sections in /etc/exim/exim.conf I
get the following error (and no mail delivery -- period):
2002-10-09 17:08:02 Exim configuration error
director amavis: cannot find director driver "pipe" in line 278
The procmail stanza just above my amavis stanza uses "driver = pipe"
just fine (procmail stanza not listed here -- most of my config left out
because it's long and I haven't edited out any security related info. If
anyone needs the whole exim config file let me know and I will clean and
post it).
Here are the amavis sections from exim.conf
##
# TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION #
##
#Amavis scnner transport
#amavis:
# driver = pipe
# command = "/usr/sbin/amavis -f <${sender_address}> -d

Mutt help, please
Although I have RTFM and looked at example .muttrc's, I am obviously missing something since I can't get Mutt to send mail outside my system. I am using woody, and as you can see from this mailing, I can send mail from Balsa, no problem. When I fetchmail, if comes in OK, and of course I can read it in Mutt. I can send a mail to myself locally, and the from header looks OK, and of course it is immediately there for Mutt to read. When I try to send a mail through my ISP, the mail seems to go somewhere, but never shows up when I fetch the e-mail from my ISP. Also, when I look in the mailq it is empty, and when I check /var/spool/exim/input it is empty as well. So it would seem that Mutt is putting something in a header that causes my sent mail to get rejected by my ISP, and it gets thrown away. Any suggestions, hints, or pointers to more reading would be appreciated. TIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

UPDATE: Relaying restrictions cont.
In addition to what I have written below: It turns out I was wrong about those changes. In fact, it was still relaying. Since then I made the following changes and now it seems to be working more or less. Changes: smtpd_client_restrictions = check_relay_domains, reject_unknown_client relay_domains = $mydestination, $virtual_domains virtual_domains = domain1.com, domain2.com So, now mail can be sent by anyone to either my domain or a virtual domain, but to no other addresses. At least using a mail client and telneting in, I always got a relay reject on any other addresses.

My Windows System Admin says that Active Directory uses ntp (and he questions whether Linux uses that or some other protocol), but since my Debian box stopped working with it, I was just wondering if Microsoft's ntp is just a tad tainted, like so many of their other "industry standard" protocols. At any rate, it's only an academic question, as I've pointed my Debian box to a Solaris ntp server instead of the "official" campus Windows-based server, and that satisfies my immediate need.

XF86 4.2.1 + Radeon == No valid mode found for this DFP/LCD
[debian-x says it's about packaging... so I am posting here...] I've been experiencing major problems with X ever since the 4.2.1 upgrade. This particular problem is on a laptop with a Radeon Mobility M6 LY Video card running a custom 2.4.19+grsecurity kernel with the 'radeon' kernel module loaded. 'agpgart' is compiled into the kernel. I am almost sure this has been discussed in the past, but I could not find it in the archives. Thus I appreciate if you point me to a link to prevent duplicate discussion. The problem is here in the logs: (WW) RADEON(0): Mode 1280x1024 is out of range. Valid mode should be between 640x480-640x480 (EE) RADEON(0): No valid mode found for this DFP/LCD X doesn't start until I enable the 640x480 mode (which is usually not even included in XF86Config-4 -- no way I could work that way. The configuration was not changed since X 4.1.0, where everything worked. The result is that I can start X at 640x480 (WOW, BIG LETTERS) but at no other resolution, not even 800x600. I can start into 1280x1024 when I use the "vesa" driver instead of the native "radeon" driver, but then I loose a lot of performance, which I don't want. Do you have any idea on how this can be repaired?

using external VGA as separate display
hi, WinXP of all things allows you to control a laptop's external VGA connector as a separate display, totally independent of the internal LCD. Can this be done in XF86 (4.2.1 here, thanks Branden + XFTF!)? The reason I ask is because I have an LCD that does 1400x1050 and any lower resolution is just too fuzzy. And I also have an external monitor that can do 1280x1024, but not 1400x1050. I prefer to work with the external monitor as it's bigger and better in terms of ergonomical placement. But I don't feel like restarting X to set a new resolution every time I connect to the external monitor. Alt-Ctrl-Numlock+ and Alt-Ctrl-Numlock- don't work (they produce crazy patterns on the screen for all resolutions but the one I started out with. Maybe that's a framebuffer issue. It would rock if I could use the external VGA separately from the internal one (it's a Radeon Mobility M6 LY driving this baby) because then I could have a dual-headed setup, which would be incredible!

Here is the response I got: H:\>ipconfig /release Windows 2000 IP Configuration Error: No adapters bound to TCP/IP are enabled for DHCP H:\>ipconfig /renew Windows 2000 IP Configuration Error: No adapters bound to TCP/IP are enabled for DHCP I'm pretty clueless at this point. Part (3) above suggests that DHCP isn't even being used here, but I'm pretty certain that DHCP is indeed being used by my company's network. What's the deal? Anyone have any advice? I appreciate it.

Re: Dr. Scheme
David, I don't know 'bout this package in particular, but I run a slew of unstable packages on my Woody box and rarely experience difficulties.

Dr. Scheme
Hi I need the Dr. Scheme package for my teaching. I run Woody, but notice that the only Dr. Scheme package (the latest, 2.02) is in Unstable. Just how unstable is DrScheme 2.02? Can I safely install it from Sid's package into my Woody, or am I asking for trouble? Should I get the original source or Sid's source and compile? Any words of encouragement or advice?

Just have a look at /usr/lib/menu/mplayer. Mine looks like this:
?package(mplayer):command=/usr/bin/gmplayer section="Apps/Viewers"
needs=X11 title=gmplayer
Then, try to re-run update-menus.
If that doesn't work or you really want to call mplayer (without the
gui) just drop on appropriate menu definition into /etc/menu (just read
the README in there) and re-run update-menus.

I suggest first creating /dev/mouse, if your using a ps2 mouse something like: cd /dev ; ln -s psaux mouse I am not aware of some 'catchall' debian-specific utility. something else that would help is if you told the list what video card you use. if it's something like 810 or 815 or some other strange chipset it may be more difficult then just X -probeonly or even xf86config. There is a tool called anxious, which tries to do what you want, but last time I tried it, it could only detect a few different cards. if your using a nvidia card and want 3d acceleration you need to compile and install the modules for it. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Trouble installing Xwindows on debian 3.0 (woody)
Title: Trouble installing Xwindows on debian 3.0 (woody) Hi, I am a debian newbie ( coming from the mandrake world)... I am having trouble getting XFree86 to work correctly on my machine...When I run startx .. it crashes and xfree86config suggests running "SuperProbe" to get the right characteristics for my video card before re-running the config. But I cant find SuperProbe on my system ( I did a search ) Is there a simple utility that I could run which will detect all the hardware and select the right options (like Mandrake does SO WELL)...

(snip) Thanks very much, Nate - that's perfect. (-: I can now generate a good exclude list with a simple Perl script. A couple more questions for the list: (a) Can I mount a compressed archive (e.g. from afio) as a read-only filesystem somehow? (b) Can I manipulate an ext2 FS on DVD-RAM on a low-spec machine? I know that for actually burning DVD-Rs they sometimes want a faster machine. -- Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Idled + SSH.
I've got 2 border machines running Debian Potato, and I recently (2 days ago) did a security update on it for the first time in 4 or 5 months. On one of these machines, I also upgraded SSH. Then Idled stopped working on that machine. So I have 2 machines that are effectively identical except for the existence of the new SSH. One is running SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol version 1.5. The other is running OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-0.0potato1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090603f The latter one does not log out idle users. Any clues about how to get Idled to work with the newer SSH? Otherwise it's regression time. -- time since last cigarette: 171d, 9h, 33m time since last dose of Nicotine: 126d, 15h, 40m This is not a .signature file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You could try this: apt-get install discover apt-get install mdetect XFree86 -configure This will build a XF86Config file based on the autodetection of hardware. It works nicely. You may have trouble with the mouse detection, so if you have problems check that part of the config file that's generated. jc -- Jeff CoppockSystems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
