I did consider sshfs, but for some reason, it won't work; when I try to connect from my linux system to the OpenWrt box, all I get is the less than helpful error "remote host has disconnected". ssh works fine between the two boxes (using public / private keys), and I've used sshfs before between two Debian boxes.

Re: [help-a-newb] adduser okay? (problem with authenticating with gui users-groups manager)
Concur. Unlike windows tools, Linux GUI tools (should) build on the existing command line tools. So using the command line version should give you the same effect as using the gui. Case in point, I use apt-get or aptitude (primarily the latter), instead of synaptic or one of the gui tools available. For me, its the way I was brought up, and if I am honest, apt-get install is far quicker than opening synaptic, searching through the packages, selecting and installing. --b On Sat, Mar 19, 2011 at 2:35 PM, Andrei Popescu wrote: > On Sb, 19 mar 11, 22:19:45, Joel Rees wrote: > > > > Speaking of which, are the command line user/group management tools > > (adduser, etc.) going to leave something undone if I use them instead? > > Or, if I use vipw and hand-copy the bash skeleton, for a user, am I > > going to regret it later? > > AFAIK adduses is THE standard tool for creating users on Debian. > > Regards, > Andrei > -- > Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic > > -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) > > iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJNhPdwAAoJEHNWs3jeoi3pWYMH/jlrya5wh+YrH7bqUruYGXoJ > A5d75HGuIa3TxhNjnooprkM5oMGMZaF75YCtj374K5ItITBlgD7iZzQ62ejJI8eS > v7FvA+C02DcMsboRFtxki0BDhq7GL1jDvolYMLt/okt1SjbCoBrvqsAU/+iJYHwo > qWJ9EIqLV7zteT1rqpJnlgKg9y5Zi1ow0Bh8z0/KiR4uJVquFkqgT1I+8GldrDSc > PnD6vf7qCPKHdNb65vL2xqQCL68MjrjfvxsoRdlVoy8sV2cOAaYpb8nzJo+IkCEZ > 0VVSTZo/LBExVQlYHtKZ3Rehlm/Qyxc4XI7LfvKsIwXVARU2X2MFxfAGvWq9+X4= > =aHHn > -END PGP SIGNATURE- > >

I upgraded one machine with KDE from lenny to squeeze and did not experience any major issues. However, this was not a very customized environment. Actually I'm trying to switch it over to LXDE as it is more than enough for what it is currently used and would deal with the complaints about KDE 4 being slower. If you want to play it extra safe you can tell kaboom (the settings migration wizard) to NOT migrate your settings and just start fresh. If you are not familiar with KDE 4 be prepared for major changes in the way things are done although I've read it is possible to bring it closer to KDE 3.5 Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Upgrade to Squeeze and KDE
Hi all! After updating my hosts in my house to the new stable, Debian Squeeze, I'm thinking of upgrading my desktop to Squeeze. With my hosts with Lenny in general, except for some things, everything was working after upgrading to Squeeze, but I worry that something is broken in the upgrade from KDE 3.5 to KDE 4.4, as this PC is used to study and work and I wish the minimal downtime. I wonder what experiences you had to update KDE and its applications to new versions of Squeeze and the considerations to keep in mind throughout this process. Thanks in advance for your replies.

External hard drive with mounting problems
I have a 250 GB Seagate Expansion Portable Hard Drive that sometimes won't mount. I end up having to use TestDisk to recover my files from it, and then I have to reformat the drive. The drive works for a while, and then it becomes unmountable sometime later. I've had this happen with the drive formatted as NTFS (original) and ext2. The messages I get in the dialog box when I use the GUI to mount are "Unable to mount device" and "Errororg.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure". The drive is listed in GParted as /dev/sdc, and the partition is /dev/sdc1. When I try to mount the drive in a shell, I get an error message telling me that it's not listed in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. This is the case whether I try to mount the drive as /dev/sdc, /dev/sdc1, /mnt/sdc, or /mnt/sdc1. I did once try using the shred command to get rid of deleted files and to see if there were any problems. Shred had no difficulty writing to any part of the disk. What exactly is going on here? Does my drive have a hardware problem? What tools can I use to evaluate the condition of this drive? -- Jason Hsu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Actually, "gnome-desktop-environment" does NOT include Tomboy (or mono), "gnome" however does. Compare: apt-cache depends gnome-desktop-environment | grep tomboy vs. apt-cache depends gnome | grep tomboy So, if you don't want Tomboy/mono you can install gnome-desktop-environment (or if you want even less, the gnome-session package).

We are an independent project to promote the use of Debian GNU/Linux. Our goal is to give you nice, professionally made Debian GNU/Linux installation discs that fit in your pocket. The discs install the base system, any additional packages are then installed from a Debian mirror site. We are a non-profit group, not a business. Your payment helps to cover our expenses for making the Debian CDs and sending them to you (envelopes and shipping costs). We give any surplus as donations to the Debian Project.

How do you expect iptables to tell the difference between an outbound HTTPS connection and on outbound OpenVPN connection? The IP protocol doesn't contain much more information than the IP address. The TCP and UDP protocols on top of it don't contain much more information than the port number. Virtually all iptables modules either act at IP protocol information or TCP/UDP protocol information. There was an "l7filter" or "l7protocol" iptables module maintained outside the iptables project that was supposed to scan the data passing over the virtual circuit to try and determine the higher layer protocols, but I don't know if it is still around, nor if it can tell HTTPS from OpenVPN. It is difficult to impossible to determine exactly what protocol is being used when good encryption is in play. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: Re: need help with sed problem

The output from that, given Joao's original text.txt, is
:"$PWD"
The reason is that " and $ have no special effect inside ''.
I would prefer to use some other character for the s command delimiter
as earlier posters in this thread suggested, because it is easier to
read. But another way you can do it is to escape all the backslashes
in $PWD using a shell expansion:
$ sed "s/.*/:${PWD//\//\\/}/" text.txt
:/home/clive/temp
You can see its effect on the string passed to sed using set -x:
$ (set -x; sed s/.*/:${PWD//\//\\/}/ text.txt)
+ sed 's/.*/:\/home\/clive\/temp/' text.txt
A brief explanation of ${PWD//\//\\/} :-
${PWD//A/B} replaces all occurrences of pattern A with string B.
For A use \/ - the \ prevents / being treated as a delimiter.
For B use \\/ - the first \ causes the second \ to be taken literally.
I hope this helps.

Clive

Firewall rules to block unwanted protocolls on given ports
Does somebody has an idea, that what kind of iptables/pf rule must i use to achieve this?: i only want to allow these connections [on the output chain]: on port 53 output only allow udp - dns on port 80 output only allow tcp - http on port 443 output only allow tcp - https on port 993 output only allow tcp - imaps on port 465 output only allow tcp - smtps on port 22 output only allow tcp - ssh on port 20-21 output only allow cp - ftp on port 989-990 output only allow tcp - ftps on port 1194 output only allow udp - OpenVPN So that e.g.: OpenVPN on port 443 would be blocked, because only HTTPS is allowed on port 443 outbound. Any ideas? :\

I bet there are similar bugs for aptitude and synaptic. AFAICT such a feature is not often needed on Debian because of the huge oficial repository and most third parties also providing repositories.
