A root password CAN be set up, though. And tasks that newcomers may have used the root account for in the past can also be done *by issuing the sudo command as a user*.

You could try -regex instead of -name, e.g.
find . -regex \./[^.].*\.log
Perfect!
lists all files ending in .log except the ones in subdirectories which
start with a dot. I don't know for sure if this also stops find from
descending into such directories at all; I assume this is what you want
to achieve in order to save time. Might be worth a try.
Using the -maxdepth option seems to keep it reasonable.

Upgraded 2.4 to 2.6 kernel: how to get pmount to work?
I just upgraded from 2.4.27-2-k7 to 2.6.8-2-k7 and booted successfully. I then did `aptitude install pmount` but it isn't working. When I connect and disconnect USB devices, the /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 (for example) appear and disappear, but I have a pmount-hal command instead of pmount and it doesn't work: $ ls /dev/sd* /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 $ pmount-hal /dev/sdb1 Error: could not connect to dbus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: No reply within specified time What am I doing wrong?

Confused about 64-bit architectures.
I'm planning to buy a new home computer soon and am considering Xeon, Athlon 64 and Opteron 64, but I'm not sure about the relevant Debian architectures, ia64 and amd64. Which one applies to which of those processors? I'm also concerned about the potential shortage of 64-bit software for a general-purpose workstation, so I'd like to know what other people think of this. Will I be setting myself up for a lot of hassle? Should I just stick with a Pentium 4 for now? Thanks, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The exact configuration then depends on which of the three repositories you want to prioritise - i.e. do you want to track stable but having testing/unstable packages available, or do you want to track testing or unstable. I think that's what I'm doing with this line in apt.conf: APT::Default-Release testing; so `aptitude install foo` will install the testing version by default, but if I specifically want something else I can use options to get what I want. (I have a big preferences file but it's entirely produced by apt-listbugs.) I would like to take this opportunity to ask for clarification about something. Given my apt.conf line above, is the difference between these (1) aptitude install foo/unstable (2) aptitude -t unstable install foo that (1) will get the unstable version of foo but the testing versions of any unsatisfied dependencies, whereas (2) will get the unstable versions of foo's dependencies and foo itself?

How much hassle to upgrade from 2.4.27 to 2.6.*?
I've got a Debian testing/unstable system running a 2.4.27-2-386 or 2.4.27-2-386 kernel, booted from LILO, and I'm thinking of upgrading to 2.6.something. I had originally planned to wait until I had a new computer but I haven't got around to picking one out yet. If I just use aptitude to install a 2.6 kernel, how much trouble will it be to get it running? I assume I'll need to edit lilo.conf to add a suitable entry without the hdd=ide-scsi option (then I'll be able to install and use pmount and to use cdrecord directly with the ATAPI cd-writer).

For a while I've been using normalize-audio and normalize-mp3 from the command-line with no problems at all. Sorry, that was a bit ambiguous. I meant that I've been using the normalize-audio and normalize-mp3 commands (from the normalize-audio package) Where do you get normalize-mp3? The normalize-audio package provides three commands: /usr/bin/normalize-mp3 /usr/bin/normalize-audio /usr/bin/normalize-ogg This was not the case for the normalize package that normalize-audio has superseded. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Add which package to get mplayer to play an ogg stream?
On my Debian testing system at work, this works (using Marillat's mplayer-i586 package): $ mplayer http://engine.collegemedia.vt.edu:8000/wuvt.ogg On my Debian testing system at home (using Marillat's mplayer-k7 package), however, it caches then fails thus: $ mplayer http://engine.collegemedia.vt.edu:8000/wuvt.ogg MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.3.5 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon Thunderbird (Family: 6, Stepping: 2) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes MMX2 supported but disabled 3DNow supported but disabled 3DNowExt supported but disabled CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX 73 audio 180 video codecs Linux RTC init error in ioctl (rtc_irqp_set 1024): Permission denied Try adding echo 1024 /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq to your system startup scripts.

With vsound you get sound AND recording, can you do that with mplayer? With mplayer, you can record sound from a stream as part of a batch job without an X display, so you can (for example) run a script from at while you're logged out. mplayer -really-quiet -ao pcm:file=foo.wav 'rtsp://example.com/foo.ra' lame --quiet foo.wav foo.mp3rm foo.wav -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I guess this isn't the neatest either, but how about using mplayer's
slave mode (-slave), so it reads for commands from stdin. And have a
simple script which sleeps for 1:30 and then prints whatever mplayer's

Interesting, thanks.
As I said it's not the neatest, but it's neater than killall mplayer
:)
Actually, a friend sent me a link to this site
http://osl.iu.edu/~tveldhui/radio/
Linux Radio Timeshift HOWTO
which includes the following slightly more sophisticated version of
killall in a sample script.
vsound realplay http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/...
VSOUND_PID=$!
sleep 3660
kill `ps | grep realplay | awk '{ print $1 }'`

Re: hosts.deny doesn't work for web services

Ping and ssh connects are refused but the web services provided by zope are still accessible from the outside. Is this a bug or am I missing something here? I know that Apache, because it doesn't use the tcpwrappers library, isn't affected by hosts.allow and hosts.deny. You have to configure the equivalent in Apache's own config files. I've never used zope but perhaps it works the same way. You could look through the docs for any mention of tcpwrappers?

Anyone know how to do a timed program with mplayer?
I can listen to a continuously ogg-streaming radio station with this command: mplayer http://engine.collegemedia.vt.edu:8000/wuvt.ogg and I've successfully recorded (using scripts and at) fixed-duration RealPlayer radio shows to .wav to listen to them later. But I'd like to record a specific show tonight from the continuous live ogg stream. I suppose I could set up an at job to start recording at 18:30 and another to killall mplayer at 20:00, but I think that might cause problems (and it's hideously inelegant). Is there a better way? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
