Hello.

I will be very greatful if someone could help me. I have install Cyrus IMPA

deliver mail to cyrus mbox (it is diffrent mbox) or how should I configure 
cyrus to work with exim. My debian is 2.2r3.

Thanks.

In exim.conf you need to configure a TRANSPORT similar to:

--
cyrus_delivery:
  driver = pipe
  command = "/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver ${local_part}"
  envelope_to_add = true
  return_path_add = true
  return_output
  prefix = ""
  user = cyrus
--

Then you need a DIRECTOR that uses that transport. I use the smartuser
driver, because there are no user accounts on the machine. It is better
to use the localuser driver if your e-mail users all have accounts on
the mail server machine:


localuser:
  driver = smartuser
  transport = cyrus_delivery

2.4.0 and NFS

2001-01-10 Thread Ferenc Kiraly
Hi!

I recently started using th 2.4.0 series of kernels: test11,
test12, prerelease and 2.4.0 on a woody system. With all of 
them, as well as with 2.2.18, I have problems accessing our 
SGI NFS server. 2.2.17 seems to work flawlessly. 

Every now and then, usually when attempting an NFS write, the
operation would freeze and would stay frozen for about a minute
or two. Then everything would continue normally until the next
freeze. The kernel reports something like the following:

nfs: server XX not responding, still trying
nfs: task YYY can't get a request slot.
nfs: server XX OK

It does not seem to matter if I use NFS v2 or 3 or of I use
NFS compiled in or as a module.

Does anyone else have similar problems?

Apache DBI problems

1999-12-06 Thread Ferenc Kiraly
Hi!

I have a very recent poptato installation on a new server and
I am supposed to migrate all my web applications from the old 
server to this new one. However as soon as I load the
Apache::DBI or the DBI perl module form httpd.conf or
from my startup perl script, Apache dies without saying a
thing. Other perl modules (that don't use DBI) work just fine.

Perl scripts that use DBI, but do not run from mod_perl,
also work ok.

In desperation I tried the default Debian configuration
(which works fine by itself), turned on mod_perl and
loaded Apache::DBI with PerlModule Apache::DBI. The same 
result as above.

Has anyone else experienced something like this?

deleted files

Hello!

A friend of mine was a bit too brave using `rm -r` and lost
about 50M of important files. When he noticed what he had done
he turned the computer off and now we have that computer's
disk in a different computer. I was hoping I could use lde to
restore at least some of the lost files.

Lde works fine with the smaller partitions, but it breaks
on the 2.4G partition that hopefully still holds some of the
deleted files.

So, here are my questions: does anyone have any experience 
recovering lost files on Debian on largeish partitions, do
I have any other options, other tools to try, etc.

You can also ask a display to have a different color depth by doing this:

amd mounting local filesystem

1997-11-12 Thread Ferenc Kiraly
Hi!

Lately I am having (not so much) fun with amd. I am trying to get
it to mount a local filesystem on a mount point of *my* choice.
First I tried this and int works fine:

 /etc/amd/amd.master 
-r -a /amd /home /etc/amd/amd.home
-

 /etc/amd/amd.home --
studentstype:=ufs;dev:=/dev/sda6;opts:=type=ext2,rw,defaults
#
# 
#
users   -opts:=rw,nosuid \
host==samson;type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/vg01/users \
host!=samson;type:=nfs;rfs:=/home/users;rhost:=samson
#
# links
#
researchtype:=link;fs:=users;sublink:=research
guests  type:=link;fs:=users;sublink:=research
---

This setup mounts /dev/sda6 under /amd//home/students
and makes the link /home/students that points to that
mount point.

Now what I want is to specify a different mount point,
as I understand, by using the fs:= option
in the 'students' map entry. I would like the partition
/dev/sda6 to be mounted under /home/students, so I 
suplied fs:=/home/students. But this did not work. It
caused the /home directory to be inaccessible. If I
tried `cd /home`, cd just hung there and it looks like
I wasn't able to do anything about it. Please tell me
what am I doing wrong. 

Now I come to the second thing that annoyed me very much.
After `cd /home` hung, I wasn't able to get the system to
behave itself again. Killing amd and eveything I thought
had anything in common with the problem solved nothing.
I had to reboot the machine. I hate rebooting the machine.
It spoils my uptime. To be more precise: the system worked 
ok, but anything that touched /home, just froze.

Hi!

> (**) MONO: Graphics device ID: "Primary Card"
> (**) MONO: Monitor ID: "Primary Monitor"

It looks to me like your X-server is trying to use the
"Screen" section for the "mono" driver for some reason. 
In that section you do *NOT* have a 8 bit depth subsection 
(of course). So, for starters try commenting out all but the 
"Screen" section for the "accel" driver. I assume that is the
one you are interested in.

I am not sure of how the X server chosses the "Screen" section
to use, but your problem suggests it takes the last one found.
So when it stumbles upon the "Screen" section for the "mono"
driver, it choaks. But then again, I might be wrong.

If I remember correctly, you said you installed magicfilter. So delete or

Perhaps you are not aware of this, but you can set up a windows NT domain

This is a feature, not a bug. It is because root is by default allowd login 
only on some ttys. On my system (Debian 1.3.1) these ttys are listed in 
/etc/securetty and I think this is the default. Also see the CONSOLE entry 
in /etc/login.defs and play around with /etc/login.access. In these files you
can turn off the restriction that root cannot log in directly from remote 
machines or you can specify the machines from which root can log in, 
which is a little better.

Re: [OFF-TOPIC] RC5 challenge Config & Performance

Hi!

> Should we be identifying ourselves as Linux when on non Linux platforms ? 

I don't think anyone will ask what platform you are running the clients on.
The only thing that matters is the group id ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and that we
win. Although we still have a lot of catching up to do. The evangelist's
yesterdays keyrate was almost three times that of ours.

As long as you're asking ... Has anyone successfully ran the client
on a HP Apolo 700 running HP-UX 10?? I have 3 available machines.

Re: kernel source?

1997-09-01 Thread Ferenc Kiraly

Hi!

> #1 Where is this source?
Its in /usr/src/ 

> #2 Do I still compile using the make config like before?
You can stil configure you kernel just as before. Bu for compiling
it's much more elegant to use the 'make-kpkg' program. With one
command you can build a Debian package for installing the kernel.

> #3 If I just pull the kernel source via ftp, can I compile like before

You can, but read the make-kpkg man page first. There are parameters to
give to make-kpkg to "Debianize" the kernel source tree.

Actually it is, though perhaps not on CDs, under:

Optional packages in section contrib

Right. You do not need to run sumba as a daemon unless you expect it to be
very heavily loaded (a lot of Win... clients). In this case you run it as an 
inet
program and it is not supposed to load at boot time. As a matter of fact it
is not supposed to load at all until something appears on the 137-139 udp or
tcp ports.

Re: [OFF-TOPIC] RC5 challenge and linux

1997-08-29 Thread Ferenc Kiraly

Hi!

This is just to encourage more Linux users to join the effort:

I have just set up 4 machines to help crack the RC5 challenge, three
of which are permanently on the Internet and one is occasionally
connected via a PPP link. Lets beat those rotten apples.
