Re: rsync question
That seems to work, but here's a problem. Each time it enters a new user directory I have to re-enter the root password. I realize I can just set it up so that I don't have to enter a password at all, but maybe there's a way to set it, so I'd have to only enter the root password once? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

rsync question
I need to rsync several, but not all, the Maildir directories under /home. I have a file with all the user accounts, so what would the script be to say take each user account name and then rsync up each Maildir directory. The rsync command would be: rsync -arv ./[username]/Maildir/ root@[computer]:/home/[username]/Maildir/ I have already gone through each user's directory and manually done each one over the course of the week.

WIreless connectivity at boot
There has been this problem with my wireless connectivity that is getting on my nerves. Every time I reboot I have to go through a series of procedures just to get my wireless card to connect to my wireless router. Unfortunately, I have never been able to pin down what exact procedure I need to follow. But here are a few things I can say for sure. At boot up there is 0 connectivity with my wireless router. However, eth1 (the wireless card) is active (enabled). I have to manually issue the command: iwconfig eth1 key restricted ** And then I seem to have connectivity to the router. I judge that I have connectivity by the fact that the network icon turns from 1 red diamond to several blue ones. However, I never get an ip address from the router. Then I just go through a series of ifconfigs and ifups and ifdowns, etc., sometimes even /etc/init.d/network restart before finally I get an ip address. Kind of a hassle.

Re: Server crashing (revisited)
Hopefully those people who replied to this issue earlier can respond. If you recall I had a problem with a server crashing (read below). I started doing a memtest on the server itself while operating. It has been running now 3 days. The server has not once crashed that whole time. But this morning I stopped the memtest. Zero errors were reported out of some 300+ tests. Then within minutes, it crashed. Now isn't that peculiar? Any explanation out there?

fsck on /dev/hde1 during boot,
Just installed Sarge on a server with 3 SCSIs and one IDE drive on an Adaptec ATA RAID 1200 A card. The system starts booting otherwise fine, until it gets to apparently running fsck on the IDE drive. Then it errors out with: fsck.ext3: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/hde1 Possibly non-existent or swap device? Then it tells me to run fsck against it or hit Control-D to continue. Doing a Control-D continues the boot process. Whereas /dev/hde1 = / home, all I have to do after booting up is issue the command mount / home and everything is working fine. My guess is that for some reason /dev/hde1 is never mounted during the boot process. How can I overcome this problem? BTW, fstab does have an entry for this partition.

Question about a networking issue
I realize the following issue I describe has nothing necessarily to do with Debian, but I've found this to be one of the better forums to get answers. Here is a really strange problem we are having between our 2 companies, which no one so far seems to be able to figure out. Our company is in the Seattle area and is connected to our parent company in Russia by a VPN. The VPN, firewall, gateway solution for both our offices is IPCop (1.4.1 in Seattle, 1.3.0 in Russia). In the Seattle office we have postfix server using Courier-IMAP with a POP3 daemon on a Linux server. Last Friday, when the Russian personnel came to work, they were receiving their mail just fine for about 2 hours. Then 5 employees (and only 5 specific employees) were no longer able to receive any mail. They were all using POP3. In the logs I could see that they would LOGIN and the there would be an immediate DISCONNECTED. Given the error they were getting at their end, it was as if they would connect and login to the server, but certain networking issues caused the server to believe that it had lost connectivity with those users. The IT Admin on the Russian side was one of the 5 experiencing problems. His computer was set up to pull mail through a mail proxy server in their office. So, I told him not to use the proxy and circumvent it. Just go directly to our mail server through the VPN. He started pulling mail fine. AHA! The culprit was the mail proxy server. Wrong It turns out only a few people were going through the proxy server. The IT Admin in the Russian office went to the remaining 4 employees having problems and switched them to either using the proxy or not. In the end only one other of the employees starting pulling mail. In his case, he went from going directly through the VPN to going through the mail proxy in order to pull mail. Very strange. I had him try reconfiguring the remaining three to go through the Internet (not through the VPN), but that didn't resolve the problem either. I asked him if they had any switches over there. Turns out they had several. Since he didn't want to shut down the switches till the office was empty, we tried one other solution. We switched the remaining 3 from POP3 to IMAP. It worked! But why? That evening when the office emptied out, he shut down all the switches for 10 minutes. As I understand 2 of the 3 remaining employees nonetheless cannot get mail through POP3, but IMAP works. So, I was wondering why this might be the case? What could possibly be going on? What tests could we do to see what's going on? BTW, we did do telnet sessions from the client computers. What happens is the clients LOGIN through POP3, but then a disconnect happens. Curtis Vaughan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

unstable to testing
I was just looking at the sources.list file on our Debian server and I realized we had unstable sources.

mime module in Apache

Running config test I get: apachectl configtest Syntax error on line 8 of /etc/apache/modules.conf: Cannot add module via name 'mod_mime.c': not in list of loaded modules What do I need to do? Also, let me explain why I am adding this module. Perhaps I'm going about it wrong. We are now hosting a Russian language web page. When you go to that page it won't start up in Russian no matter what you do on the client side. I thought there was a problem with the "charset=" line in the html file. But then I was told that the problem is that you have to enable apache to use a foreign language as a possible default language. One thing I did was add the following text in httpd.conf for this virtual host: DocumentRoot /var/www/VirtualHost/ ServerName www.VirtualHost.com DefaultLanguage ru LanguagePriority ru But I also noticed the docs on Content Negotiation at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html which led me to the idea that I need to install a mime module.

No matter what, it cannot access any shares in LINUXDOMAIN. It just keeps reasking for the login and password, saying that the previous login/password attempt was: "Incorrect password or unknown user name for:" NB: We also have an NT4 domain: NT4DOMAIN, which the W2K PDC accesses just fine.

Mail server in DMZ
Here's what I want to do, I'm just not sure about the best solution. We have IPCop as the gateway server (doing port forwarding and maintaining 2 VPNs). Behind it, we have 1 Postfix server w/Courier IMAP and 1 Exchange 5.5 Server (soon to be moved to another Postfix server). I want to put a mail server in the DMZ, whose sole purpose will be to: 1) authenticate all users for SMTP w/SSL; 2) accept all incoming mail and only relay that mail for internal recipients to the appropriate recipient. I think that's it for now. So, if I put postfix and Courier IMAP on that server, as well as all accounts and passwords, would that be an appropriate solution? Also, I'm a little confused as to how a mail server in the DMZ would route mail to the internal network. Or is that something it wouldn't have to worry about, but IPCop would (since it's the router).

This computer has been running for years with a swap partition. Tomorrow I can tell you exactly what size I even gave it. However, I recently decided to update to sarge.

burning a VCD with xcdroast
Sorry, if this is not really a Debian question, but I am getting really frustrated trying to figure this out. I have created an mpg file (MPEG1) and authored it for vcd. After authoring it, a second mpg file was created along with a xml file. Now originally I thought I just had to burn my first mpg file to a disk and pop it in my DVD player (which does support vcd files). However, it complained that the data was incorrect. Someone stated that I needed to probably author the mpg file and another person said that instead of creating a vcd I probably just created a data cd. So my question is this: I am using xcdroast. I think I have correctly authored the mpg file. So now do I just burn the 2 files to a disk or is there some special way I need to burn it? For example, maybe I need to create an iso or I've seen a lot of mention of cue and bin files. I have been spending 2 days nows looking for the correct way to do this on the net, but to no luck.

Laptop net card module
After installing Debian on a laptop everything was working fine. Then after updating to 2.4.18, however, the pcmcia netcard doesn't work. I've determined the following: The module [xirc2ps_cs.o] isn't installed. It seems to be related to another module: ds.o, but when I try to install ds.o, I get the following error: no socket drivers loaded. This error also pops up during boot. So, it would seem that I have to install sockets? The insmod error for ds.o seems also related to the fact that the IO or IRQ parameters are invalid. Do I need to insmod ds.o with parameters? Thanks.

Permission change - recursive
I just noticed that for an entire directory of files and folders, the permissions are not really right. Or maybe it doesn't matter.

Do you mean that, or do you mean you have a USB keyboard? If your

Google ("usb keyboard xfree86") suggests that USB keyboards should, in

Ok well this seems like a simple problem. What command are you using to run the server? I believe the correct command is: vncserver Are you sure that ~/.vnc exists and has proper permissions? What is the output of: ls -ld ~/.vnc on my system it gives: drwxr-xr-x2 bijanbijan4096 Jan 3 01:27 /home/bijan/.vnc It might also be that the environment variable HOME does not agree with what is stored in the system (usually in /etc/passwd) and vncserver is checking the wrong one. If this is the case and HOME is correct but /etc/passwd is wrong, then I personally think that this is a bug in the vncserver program. I think that programs should use HOME, because the user always knows best. This shouldn't be a problem but the first time you run vncserver it should run vncpasswd to create ~/.vnc/passwd, you might want to try running it manually. If none of the above fixes the problem then you may have found a bug in the vncserver package.

However, when I try to start it I get the following error: ~/.vnc: No such file or directory Of course, there is such a directory, although there is nothing in it. What's the solution?

Fwd: DailySet1 AMANDA PROBLEM: FIX BEFORE RUN, IF POSSIBLE
Hopefully there are some amanda users out there. I sent this to the amanda users list, but haven't gotten any replies, so, here is the result of an amcheck. What is the possible problem with the system? Why is expecting a new tape? Is there a way to reset the device and make it think there is a new tape in? Thanks! Amanda Tape Server Host Check - Holding disk /var/tmp: 728376 KB disk space available, that's plenty ERROR: /dev/nst0: reading label: Input/output error (expecting a new tape) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo: does not exist NOTE: it will be created on the next run NOTE: index dir /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/index/localhost: does not exist Server check took 16.436 seconds (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Geological tracking application
Is anyone aware of Linux-based application capable of proving visual geographical tracking? To be more specific: We are a fishing company. Every daily we receive reports from our vessels about their location, water temp and depth, fish caught, weather, fuel, etc., etc. This data is entered into a database. It would great to have an application that could take that data and put it on a map. This way we could track trends, perform historical analyses, etc. I realize there is probably nothing specifically that meets our needs, but close enough that with a little reprogramming would, in fact, work.

gzip question
Actually this doesn't have to be just in regards to gzip, but any file compression application. Is there a way to force the application to provide a specific directory structure for the files you wish to compress. For example: let's say I have serveral files in my home directory. I want to zip them so that when someone unzips them, the directory structure will be for a windows system something like: c:\Program Files\special directory\ Is there a way to do this?

Samba 3 on stable

burning a CD
I have put a CD with MS Office in one Linux Box. I need to copy its contents for burning on a separate Linux box. What is the best way to do this? I supposed I could just copy the entire contents to a directory on the second box. Or I could tar the contents to the Linux box, couldn't I, and then somehow tell xcdroast to burn from a tar image? Or, I supposed I could somehow mount the CDRom of the first box on the second box and then just do a CD copy? I don't really know, I've never done this before.

apt-get upgrade but hold certain packages
I've been looking through man pages and the list archives. I would have sworn there was a recent post about this, but... I want to hold back certain packages prior to running apt-get upgrade. How can I do that by configuring some file and not with aptitude or dselect? Curtis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Amanda or taper
I have been using taper for backups for some time now, but just read an interesting article about Amanda. Is anyone using Amanda and is it better than taper?

proftp. Accessing an FTP server
I've got proftp running and it works great, in fact perfect inside our company LAN. So, I thought everything was perfect. HA! Outside in the real world, I am able (through a terminal session) to ftp in (login and password checked) but I can't do anything. Here as an example is what happens inside the LAN when I issue the command "ls" Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> ls 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list. -rwxrwxr-- 1 536 540 13824 Sep 4 22:15 Test.xls drwx-- 2 0daemon 4096 Aug 27 20:07 bin drwx-- 2 0daemon 4096 Aug 27 20:03 etc 226-Transfer complete. 226 Quotas off However, outside the LAN I get the following errors: Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> ls 500 EPSV not understood. 227 Entering Passive Mode (10,0,1,11,18,205). Any ideas? BTW, trying to use a web browser for ftp outside the LAN, just times out. Curtis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: proftp or wu-ftp?
Got it working just before I got the replies. Actually, I found a how-to dealing with a OSX server, which pointed me in the right direction. Seems to be working now. Thanks!

No It doesn't seem to work: i.e., for whatever reason I am the only one allowed to log in. I can't log in under any other user period. Now, this may be due to the fact that I have a home directory on this server, no one else does. It could be, I know that proftpd will allow you to "chroot" ftp sessions to the user's home dir. I think you have to do that on purpose though. Have you tested your pam_ldap setup with other services to make sure it is correct? I think the default setup requires the user to have a valid shell (listed in /etc/shells) did you check that? What does "getent passwd username" show for a user who can't log on. Also, make sure that "AuthPAM on" is in your config file. As for the default path for users to see (mentioned in another message) I believe that all you need is a section like this: "DefaultRoot /home/ftp" or whatever path. It sounds like you really need to take a few minutes to go through the manpage for proftpd.conf to get a general overview of the options before you start trying to wrangle the config file. -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: proftp or wu-ftp?
Ryan do you or does anyone have any instructions for a dim-wit like myself on how to set up proftp. I've got it installed and kind of operating, but how do I make it default to /home/ftp whenever ANYONE logs in.

Inventory Databases
I am wondering what advice people have about the following: Our company needs to keep track of purchased inventory (when purchased, how much, where it's located), etc. Also, we would want to keep a db on analogous products, who they are sold by, their prices, etc. Now, here is what the acounting dept. is planning on doing. Whereas they already use Great Plains Dynamics (Microsoft) for all accounting activities, and whereas there is apparently a module that you can purchase that performs these functions, they plan on purchasing this module (despite some shortcomings). My issue is that: great move buying a product that's going to cost $$$, then licenses $$$, then well, we'll have to have SQL licenses and we' have to purchase multiple copies of SQL , and then .. Surely there is some other option. I would appreciate any ideas people have. BTW, I have looked at NOLA and it's not what we will need. Also, I don't care whether it costs, but what other options are there. -- Curtis Vaughan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Locked desktop issue
I have this problem that sometimes when typing in Russian, I have accidentally hit a combination of keys (which I don't actually know) which puts my computer in a locked desktop status. That would be OK, except that I was in a Russian keyboard input mode and you can't change the input mode when the desktop is locked. In other words, I can't enter my password. The only way out is to kill kde and restart. Is anyone aware of a way to prevent this? i.e., either enabling language switching while the desktop is locked, or forcing the keyboard to switch to English when the desktop is locked? -- Curtis Vaughan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
