Gdm hangs and don't log in
Hi! Just a little question: I've just installed GNOME rpms, including gdm. Have configured /usr/etc/gdm/gdm.conf, created all the dirs required and mentioned in docs. Now: gdm uses PAMs, right? Since I'm able to start gdm and I don't get incorrect password or similar messages, but after logging in gdm don't seems to be able to fire up a session. The server hangs idle and nothing happens! That's my /etc/pam.d/gdm file: #%PAM-1.0 auth optional /usr/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok auth optional /usr/lib/security/pam_nologin.so accountoptional /usr/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so password optional /usr/lib/security/pam_cracklib.so password optional /usr/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok use_authtok sessionoptional /usr/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so I've just tried to cheat pam setting as optional all the steps but that don't seems to be a smart move! 8( What can I do? Many Thanx Andrea
Re: Networking Win98 and Linux
All you need is a SAMBA server. Samba is a suite of program which implements the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix. The package includes the servers ( Samba is also capable -- even if in alpha state -- to manage WinNT Domains ) and several clients which help manage the network and verify the functionality of your server. There is also a Web based configuration tool called SWAT. The main site is www.samba.org, but debian have precompiled and prepackaged debs. Compile yourself only if you need custom unusual beavioursS... Ciao! Andrea
Re: cdu31a
Thanks for the hints! The problem is that my controller is a SC400 ( card shown in commented text in cdu31a.c ) but the ports suggested are not working I get a resource busy message from kernel even if I specify explicitly cdy31a_port=0x634 which should be my port! ( as reported in card manuals ) Why? On other computer I got similar problem on modular ppa, but resolved problem with correct module dependencies! But in this case a `depmod -a` not resolved the problem. Thanx, Andrea!
cdu31a
Hi to all! I have an old sony cdu33a 2x cd! The problem is that no docs are provided about which io_port I should use. The DOS driver don't tell me the values! The manifacturer of the audio card / controller have retired ( was Reveal ) and all the hints in cdu31a.c don't work! I'm using kernel 2.2.1 on hamm. What can I do? Thanks!!! Andrea
AWE 64 Value
Hello! I'm experiencing problems configuring my new awe 64 value ISA PnP card! The card get correctly initialized by isapnp ( 0x220, 0x330, 0x388, irq5, dma 1 and 5 - same values as Windog ) The Kernel see the card as a SB16 standard and I'm able to reproduce wav, au, to mix channels and record! The problem is the MIDI system. I've installed the awe32 patch on a 2.0.35 kernel. make xconfig, dep, clean, zImage, modules and modules_install configured lilo ad reinstalled it! I have a recursive line: Jan 3 04:28:50 gromit kernel: AWE32: not detected in /var/log/messages. Also sfxtest show me a analogue message! Why? Many thanks!!! -- Ciao!

inetd and nfsd!
Hi to all! just a little question: I'm trying to set up nfsd via inetd but the BIG ONE NETWORK DAEMON don't want to start the nfs! I'm using a line such this: nfs/1-3 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd Any one knows wat's the problem? (I've done kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid` after writing each session of /etc/inetd.conf, I've just also seen at /etc/services but the service is shown! Or should be shown in /etc/rpc?) Many Thanks!!! -- Saluti, Andrea [EMAIL PROTECTED] ` ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ' ''' ''' ''' ''' ' ' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' There's no Linux 95 or 98 because Linux is forever!!
Subjects not so comfortable
Hi! I have a small config feeling question? Since we spawn hundreds of messages each day, it would be more comfortable to have a constant string in subjects such as [ DEBIAN ] that allows easy filtering. If anyone have better suggestions or cat filter using other header than from, can mail such tips? I'm using elm's filter program now!

Strange tty problems
Hi! I've just installed hamm. And recently descovered a little problem with ttys and remote unix. Default terminal setting is xterm-debian which is non present on our Sun Ultra server at university. When I telnet on it, I set TERM to xterm and try to stty erase . But nothing changes. I continue having problems with backspaces and probably (not yet tested) others control keys and combinations! Before hamm, I ran Slackware 3.4 with no problem on char mapping over telnet. Do you have ideas? Many thanks.. -- Saluti, Andrea [EMAIL PROTECTED] ` ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' ' ''' ''' ''' ''' ' ' ''' ''' ''' ''' ''' There's no Linux 95 or 98 because Linux is forever!!
