PPPD Not working?
I cannot believe I am asking this since I had it working with Debian 1.3R6. After upgrading to Debian 2.0 via hamm, and reinstalling minicom, I tried doing my usual, login via minicom, quit without reset, run 'pppd /dev/modem 57600 crtscts defaultroute modem' then it hangs up instantly!

Sshd and utmp
Hey guys... I have sshd running.. and it seems to work. My friends and I can 'ssh' to my system. But there is one minor problem... a 'w' command will NOT show the ssh conneciton. Is this proper? And if not... how can I fix it? Should I recompile sshd? I do not remember where to find it... I guess I could hunt it down at sunsite.unc.edu, but if anyone has it handy, could they please post it up? Or... is this some kind of configuration or permission issue for utmp to work with sshd?

Re: Linux + Win95 + Win NT on one HD
I got this setup.. in fact.. I even have FreeBSD to do a quad boot. However... I am not positive if you can directly boot off of a hda6... since for me to successfully implement the quad boot, I had to make 3 primary partitions. Windows 95, FreeBSD, Linux. They all mount different drives... Windows NT is sitting on a logical drive on an extended partition. I use NT Bootloader. Make sure you ran the dd if=/dev/hda6 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 and cp the bootsect.lnx to your FAT C:\ somehow. Modify the boot.ini. (I am assuming you did this.. but just in case). If that fails to work... odds are you need to make a /hda3 as your / root.

Re: Windoze 95 is not multi-tasking, it just pretends it is multitasking.
Windows 98 and NT require more ram to be faster than 95. Otherwise, it's overbloated kernel and other system sucking resources will force you to hit your harddrive (memory paging via swap file / disk) and that wil cause such a slow down. Personally, I find windows 95 and nt have faster response times on some windows vs my X all oses have their purposes, I personally favor Linux with X11 rather than MS for my general internetting pleasure.

Re: Upgrading to hamm
I was in the same position as you as of yesterday. I upgraded, although, i had to use the upgrade script three times (well just to make sure, I only needed to do it twice) for dependencies. However, I could not figure out how to reexecute the script installation after the first time, so I redownloaded all the files again! No big deal to me since i have a good inet connect, anyone know how do resolve this? (can i just goto /var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/base/ and install all the .debs manually?!? How can i get the script to auto continue and do it again without redownloading everything?!?) Ok... after that, I rebooted. I did the /var/wtmp and utmp fix which is told in the autoup.sh. (or else who and last do not work... and they really don't unless you do it. :) ) Then.. the dreaded hamm upgrade! I advise not doing this while you are in X (the hamm upgrade). Use dselect to get the hamm package, (I had a cd of the packages so I escaped unscathed), ftp dselect failed for me... but someone told me how to do it. Try this. Use dists/frozen/main dists/frozen/contrib dists/frozen/non-free. It works fine for me. This is quoted from Bob who assisted me. I did not try it, but it should work. ftp.debian.org has the newest packages btw. My grep was broken on the CD, however, the new package fixes it. My sendmail broke too after the hamm packages upgrade, I got sendmail.8.8.8-14.deb and had to install it twice. (weird eh?) Then it finally went. I had to do some funky things with the sendmail.mf and .cf and what not to get it working... although it works now. (heheh i should get the crab book). Aside from that, not too painful, but reconfiguring afterstep 1.4 took a bit of time. Generally took 8 hours for me to fully reconfigure and feel happy about the system again.

I had problems with debian 2.0 because my Accelerated X did not seem to work, is it possible that I had to upgrade my version of the Xlibs since I only upgraded the core system and not the X system? And... if that is true, would my original plan of installing Xfree86 3.3.2 glibc2 while resymlinking my Accelerated X binary help me get glibc2 working 100% on my system? Btw, any odd bugs with glibc2? I heard of some apps breaking... not sure if I should dare to make the move to glibc2 yet since it does not seem to have 100% dominance yet.

Re: Samba config/password problem; Win95 OEMSR2
Carroll Kong Aha, this is an interesting angle I haven't thought of! I tried it, here's what happens; I get the error message of: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) Ok. If you got an error running smbclient to your own box check to see if you did it properly? smbclient -L hostname -U username? And try your password. If you did this properly... from linux to samba... and it failed. Odds are you have encrypted passwords enabled in /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf? This is a guess of mine.. or you do not have security = user but ... you seem to have that setup. Or... it was not a valid user? Ok... assuming you can get yourself connected to samba... you can enable encrypted passwords, which I do suggest, both ways are insecure but if this network you are describing has relatively good security and is more LAN than WAN, having encrypted passwords is not such a bad thing. You should read the /samba-1.9.1.8p4/docs/ENCRYPTION.TXT. run the cat /etc/passwd | ./mksambapass.sh or what not... there is a line in the .txt file. After you run that though, you should run ./smbpasswd username for each user. I could NOT find a way around this at all. I do not think the /./mksambapasswd successfully ports the unix hashed passwords since the unix hashed passwords cannot be converted to the smb hashed passwords. (sorry for the bad terminology.. heheh). So in essense, the smb password will be different from their telnet login password. Once again, double check the linux smbclient to linux samba. If you cannot do that successfully, I cannot imagine you getting the Win 95 logging in successfully before your own linux smbclient to samba. And how do you setup plain text passwords through NetBios in windows 95? Perhaps plain text is the wrong terminology, I just meant unencrypted. It's done by adding a registry key and is documented in /usr/doc/samba's Win95.txt. Randy| / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / Ah.. a registry add on. That is what I meant... plain text passwords is the right terminology, I believe, I did not know it was a registry key fix. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Samba config/password problem; Win95 OEMSR2
I am not sure if osr2 forces encrypted passwords, but it sounds like a possibility. Can you smbclient to yourself in Linux to see if it will browse? If that is successful, the problem is definatley password related... you set it up as security=user and since windows 95 does not let you connect as (at least in the older versions I worked with), make sure your microsoft client login matches a unix client. I resorted to the encrypted passwords methods which is very annoying when adding new users... :) But I have a lot of NT clients, I did not test it fully with windows 95 clients, but maybe windows 95 now forces encrypted passwords by default as well. And how do you setup plain text passwords through NetBios in windows 95? Can you browse the network at all?

Re: Kernel compilation
Unless I am in serious error, if uname -a gives you Kernel Linux 2.0.29, it really means you still are running that kernel. What I usually do now, (i dont' wipe out the headers anymore) is the standard make mrproper, make menuconfig, make dep, make clean, make zImage, make modules, make modules_install.

Then instead of modifying /etc/rc.d/rc.modules (slackware), I realized Debian has this cool modconf which lets you add modules you add them all in.

(considering the other steps as well) Hope this helps. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Re: Zero Length Files on the CD...
Hopefully it'll turn to symlinks... he needed to burn with ISO9660 with Rockridge extensions. Didn't he say he burned with EZCD Pro? Mine for Win 95 / NT had no such option. They have joliet.. maybe even romeo so he can try to patch his kernel for fat32 support / joliet (combo patch), and mount the cd-rom. Semi-primitive, but at least he'll get a lot of the default packages on a fast medium. Carroll Kong On 4 Mar 1998, Carey Evans wrote: P. D.

I used EZCD Pro for Windows 3.1, and a 650Mb CD. (My CD Burner is a Creative Labs 4210). Are these files like FROZEN amd STABLE? These will turn into symlinks (like Win95 shortcuts) when you look at them in Linux.

-I- Re: mtools: mmove usage sorry, could not help...
I never could get the mtools to have full functionality... especially on logical drives in extended partitions for dos. Is that how you do it? just do a mcopy a: /dos/e? and it'll hunt for logical partition named E:? I tried mcopy a: e: and no go (a while back in FreeBSD). I got around it by just mounting my drives and manually copying them mmove should ignore perms and multiple file systems, the mv command freaks out when i move from partition to partition because mved file retain old perms... so it makes sense that it'll 'fail' on a destination fat drive. Carroll Kong On Wed, 4 Mar 1998, Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler wrote: Hi, how am I supposed to use mmove? I think it should be called just like mcopy. However, while 'mcopy a: /dos/e' works, 'mmove a: /dos/e' doesn't. The man page and the info file didn't help. Any hints? Or is it a bug?

Re: Kernel Install
My bad. Sorry for the misinformation then. I am new to Debian... used to old school Slackware. Although it says it will break compilations... it seemed to work fine for the most part. But from now on, I will not do it.
