Cron problems
I put a small script into the cron.daily folder expecting it to run. It simply creates a file with the current timestamp as its name to see if successfully ran. However, I woke up this morning to not be greeted by this file, so I know cron didn't run it. I did check my root email to find these two emails though: Email 1) /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/apache-ssl/*.log run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 Email 2) /bin/sh: root: command not found /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/apache-ssl/*.log run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 /etc/cron.daily/standard: diff: /var/log/setuid.new.tmp: No such file or directory My /etc/crontab looks like this: SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # m h dom mon dow user command 25 6* * * roottest -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily 47 6* * 7 roottest -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly 52 61 * * roottest -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly # My little script cron_test.pl is installed with 755 privileges in /etc/cron.daily.

Hard Drive Crash Recovery
I had a hard drive crash last night on one of my systems. Fortunately only a near empty /home and the swap partition were on that drive so I did not lose too much data. However, I don't know how to go about remounting the /home directory and the swap partition. Is there any way to mount the /home directory on another drive that already has data on it, but is not full? I would prefer not to buy a new drive if I don't have to. If I have to use another drive what are the commands I must do to prepare it for mounting /home and a new swap partition on it?

Newbie imapd Question
Hi there, I have been running postfix on my server for a while and I am able to get mail to my accounts just fine. However, I want to put in an imapd server, so I decided to aptitude install of cyrus-imapd. That install seemed to work properly. Now I would like to just run it stand alone without any inetd, so I just type in: /usr/sbin/imapd and I get * OK host Cyrus IMAP4 v1.5.19 server ready But if I nmap the system I don't get anything on port 143 at all. Is there a log or something where I can see what is going wrong? I can pass the server commands through the command but if I open up another terminal and try to telnet to localhost on imap it does not respond.

KDE 3.0 Package Issues
I am trying to install the new kde3 from deb http://download.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian/sid ./ And I get this output apt-get install kde-base Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Couldn't find package kde-base thorin:~# apt-get install kdebase Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: kdebase: Depends: ksysguard (= 4:3.0.4-1) but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages I try to install ksysguard and I get a libsensors dependency issue.

ls color's messed up
This one is kind of strange. My ls colors work on everything except for executables. In other words it turns archives red and directories blue, but Files with 700 privileges are still gray. When I just use 'ls --color' do I not get any green. However, when I use ls --color -l it works fine. Strange...

RE: Galeon HELP!!!
Thanks. That fix seems to work. I think I figured out how to recreate the problem. I deleted the .mozilla stuff in the root folder, then I deleted compreg.dat. I ran galeon once and it was fine.

I thought I was going to be able to get some sleep last night, but I ended up staying up trying to get XFree86 working.

RE: Booting without a monitor: No Go
I have it set up for Halt On: no error on that BIOS setting, yet strangely I still cannot boot up. I disconnect all peripherals including the keyboard, but leave just the monitor, and I can watch it boot up just fine. The kernel output just complains that no AT keyboard is present but I am able to SSH into the system. I have done some more investigating with disconnecting the monitor at different times and it seems that once it passes the POST, I can disconnect the monitor and it will continue to boot up fine. It seems that it needs the monitor at POST. I think this is no longer a problem with debian, but perhaps someone might have an idea. It is a Elsa Geforce 2 Vid Card by the way and KT7 Raid.

Booting without a monitor: No Go
I have a weird issue that I have never had with any other system I have been running. I have a Abit KT7 Board with a Geforce 2 vid card. It is a minimalist system because I just want it to be a mysql/cvs server, so I haven't installed XFree86 or the nvidia drivers. The console works fine and I can ssh into it, but only if I booted it with a monitor attached. I can watch it boot up fine as long as there is a monitor. When I disconnect the monitor and try to reboot through ssh, I can never connect again, unless I reconnect a monitor and then restart the whole thing. I can't get a display to come up at all when I connect the monitor sometime after I have booted it without the monitor. Very strange. I was thinking about trying a VGA terminator plug on the vid card because if I turn off the monitor without disconnecting it, the system still boots correctly. Sounds like a hardware prob to me, but just curious... Thanks, Curtis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
