Re: imp errors after minor postgres and postgres client update
Jason Wood found a solution: I think I fixed the problem. I changed pg_connect -> pg_pConnect near the end of db.pgsql.

imp errors after minor postgres and postgres client update
Following a security update yesterday we have a small problem with imp. On the compose page of imp, we have the following errors: Warning: 5 is not a valid PostgreSQL link resource in /usr/share/horde/imp/lib/db.pgsql on line 113 Warning: 7 is not a valid PostgreSQL link resource in /usr/share/horde/imp/lib/db.pgsql on line 139 When I restarted postgres on the command line, occasionally these errors show up: pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection Any suggestions?

Does anyone have recommendations on how and what to use to set this up? Any clues about what would work using ldap authenication rather than shadow passwords would be helpful as well. Verizon/Bell Atlantic just screwed 50,000 of their 950,000 ISP customers because as of late last week they are only allowed to use 4 of verizons domains. A few of those screwed verizon customers are also users of our freenet ccil.org. I would like to setup smtp authenication on one of the old 133 mhz machines so that these long time ccil users can continue to use other ISP's and maintain ccil.org as their email address.

Adding second IP problem
After installing imp with apt from frozen I want to add an IP for the webmail.axs.org. I did the usual add a ifconfig and route in /etc/init.d/network as follows: /sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 192.190.237.140 /sbin/route add -host 192.190.237.140 dev eth0:0 Works fine on the command line, but when I reboot the IP 192.190.237.140 is not activated. Poking around a little I found the following in the messages log. Feb 21 00:12:07 lenape kernel: ne.c:v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becker ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Feb 21 00:12:07 lenape kernel: NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x300: 52 54 4c 01 8a a d Feb 21 00:12:07 lenape kernel: eth0: NE2000 found at 0x300, using IRQ 11. Feb 21 00:12:07 lenape kernel: net_alias_dev_create(eth0:0): unregistered family ==2 Why is it working on the command line and not on boot up? Should I compile a kernel or what to fix the problem? Thanks, Chuck

We are a freenet running an old custom built BBS style interface (Chester County Interlink, ccil.org) that runs on BSDi. We are working toward moving all the machines over to Debian Linux and want to replace the old Interlink with lynx. We want the old users to still be able to dial in with their Bcom, hyper terminal or whatever terminal program they have. The default user will have the following .bash_profile and be in group user so that we can regulate time quota's with idled. $ cat /etc/skel/.bash_profile # ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells. if [ -f ~/start.htm ]; then echo -n ' Your Starting Page'; lynx start.htm else lynx http://ccil.org/lynxhome.html fi fortune exit umask 022 If the user wants to invoke pppd with their default setup they have to use the lynx jump command and enter jppp with a script or manually. I want the user to have the option of changing their default profile so that pppd is started if they dial into a modem and they can still use the lynx shell by telneting in. So we want it to do something like the following. if [ $(tty) = /dev/ttyQ* ]; then # This doesn't work right with the wildcard /usr/sbin/pppd -detach # If it worked equinox SST users would be OK elif [ The user is dialing in the portmaster 2 cthulhu.ccil.org using radius ] then /usr/sbin/pppd -detach elif [ -f ~/start.htm ]; then lynx start.htm else lynx http://ccil.org/lynxhome.html fi fortune exit umask 022 Thanks, Chuck
starting pppd
Hi, We want to make it easy for our Windows users to setup ppp by having pppd start if they dial into one of our modems or start lynx if they telent or ssh in. The problem is I haven't figured out quite how to do it. What we want is: start ppp if they dial into the equinox SST, ie on ttyQ[1-16] start ppp if they dial into our portmaster 2 named cthulhu start lynx home.html if the file exists in their home directory. or start lynx http://ccil.org/lynxhome.html Thanks, Chuck -- For stabilty, superior networking and real consumer choice, use Open Source Software, http://www.opensource.org.

Updated packages
I have looked through the Debian web and ftp sites for one place where the updates are placed and can't find just one. I thought I have seen a directory with only the updated packages in earlier version of Debian. I did see the proposed-updates and ChangeLog, but is there just one or a few places to find the stable updated deb packages? Thanks, Chuck

SGMLtools and the Debian tutorial
Hi, I would like to put some documents in SGML and decided to try converting the Debian tutorial at http://www.debian.org/~hp/tutorial/debian-tutorial.sgml as an example. Well it did not go so well. Going by the document at http://www.us.sgmltools.org/guide/guide-4.html, I tried: bash-2.01$ sgml2html debian-tutorial.sgml Processing file debian-tutorial.sgml parse_data: no entity map for `' parse_data: no entity map for `$' parse_data: no entity map for `>' parse_data: no entity map for `<' parse_data: no entity map for `&' /usr/bin/sgmlsasp: can't open `/usr/lib/sgml-tools/dist/debiandoc/html/mapping': No such file or directory bash-2.01$ sgml2html example.sgml Processing file example.sgml bash-2.01$ As you see the example file worked and the tutorial didn't. I am running the frozen dist. What's wrong? I have yet to see an SGML example that has images or tables, can someone please point some out? Any additional pointers suggestions would be appreciated.

apt error
I am using the stable release and installed apt. While upgrading and adding some things with dselect I got the following error. I thought it was OK to use apt out of the unstable release.

IP Masq and ftp on the LAN
What is a good way to solve the ftp problem that our Windoze LAN users experience? I half heartily tried setting up an IP tunnel without success and that isn't a good solution anyway because I am running a static IP dialup account and it requires setup on the dialup server side as well. I want something that would be an ideal solution for a small office and not create problems if they hop from one ISP to another.

I suggest using a new kernel where ne2000 support is built in, then the kernel will detect the card and it's parameters. Use make-kpkg to build a new kernel and install using dpkg. To make the module work you probably need a line similiar to ne io=0x300,irq=10 If you don't want or know how to build a kernel and are using a standard ide harddrive 586, I have a kernel built which should work for you.

Terminal server
Our livingston PM2e (30 port) has gone catatonic on us as we were attempting to renumber the IP's to move over to our new connectivity provided by West Chester Univ. I have a trouble ticket into Livingston, but I fear we may have to ship the Port Monster back to livingston and experience an extended down time. I have a couple of linux boxes set up their and could easily install 4 or more modems as a temporary measure. The Port Monster (cthulhu.ccil.org) and the BSDi 3.1 Box (locke.ccil.org) use radius to authenicate logins. The problem is I haven't set up radius before and I would like to have the Linux boxes act as the terminal servers for the BSD box. Can this be done and how do I do it? Chester County Interlink is a non profit organization, so if some of you high priced consultants out their would like to donate some time to help, it is tax deductable.
