Problem using library libssl
Hi all, I have a problem about gcc not finding a library and its symbols. I link my very simple test program against libssl using -lssl and the linker emit a lot of errors about symbols not found. These are symbols from libcrypto.so, but they should be automatically found since libssl.so require libcrypto.so (it is listed by ldd /usr/lib/libssl.so). Please note my program does only use a symbol from libssl and nothing from libcrypto. This is the source: char SSL_library_init(); int main () { return SSL_library_init(); } I know that on a fresh debian installation this works without any problem. The error I get are: $ gcc -o conftest conftest.c -lssl /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libssl.so: undefined reference to `BIO_pop@OPENSSL_1.0.0' /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libssl.so: undefined reference to `EVP_CipherInit_ex@OPENSSL_1.0.0' /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libssl.so: undefined reference to `BUF_memdup@OPENSSL_1.0.0' /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libssl.so: undefined reference to `EVP_MD_CTX_copy@OPENSSL_1.0.0' /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libssl.so: undefined reference to `sk_free@OPENSSL_1.0.0' [... many other similar ...] I get the same error with gcc-4.4, gcc-4.5, and gcc-4.6. May this be due to same gcc configuration file? Or is it more probably a linker problem (maybe some files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/)? Any idea about possible solutions?

ipsec problem
Hi, I am facing a problem with my first installation of IPSec, and I need some hint :-) I have one firewall that also does ipsec. It is a Sarge machine, with openswan, that protects a LAN with addresses 192.168.10.0/24. I installed a client machine, still Sarge with same software, that should be able to connect to the first machine. Both machines have a public IP. When the connection starts, it seems that everithing is okay, but then, when I connect from the client to the one server inside the LAN, I see that the client machine is sending all packets not encripted directly to the internet provider. Since they are using private IPs the provider drops the packets. client config is - config setup klipsdebug=all plutodebug=none interfaces=ipsec0=ppp0 ipsec1=eth1 nat_traversal=yes virtual_private=%v4:10.0.0.0/8,%v4:172.16.0.0/12,%v4:192.168.0.0/16 conn testvpn type=tunnel left=XX.XX.XX.XX leftcert=vpn1.clamp.it.pem leftrsasigkey=%cert leftprotoport=17/1701 right=YY.YY.YY.YY rightsubnet=192.168.10.0/24 rightcert=vpn.clamp.it.pem rightrsasigkey=%cert rightprotoport=17/1701 authby=rsasig auto=start - server config is - conn vpn1-l2tp left=YY.YY.YY.YY leftnexthop=YY.YY.YY.ZZ leftsubnet=192.168.10.0/24 leftcert=vpn.clamp.it.pem leftrsasigkey=%cert right=%any rightsubnet=vhost:%no,%priv rightcert=vpn1.clamp.it.pem rightrsasigkey=%cert authby=rsasig compress=no disablearrivalcheck=no keyingtries=3 keylife=24h ikelifetime=5h auto=start - XX.XX.XX.XX is the client public address YY.YY.YY.YY is the server public address YY.YY.YY.ZZ is the server default gateway.

Re: out of ptys
pty (pseudo terminal?) are linux devices defined in some quantity compiling the kernel. If you find this a problem then you do have to recompile the kernel increasing this amount. They are used when a program needs a device where to write to and read from, but this shoudn't be a real terminal. A real terminal is something like a vt100, a pseudo terminal is, for example, an xterm window.

We also have a domain for our e-mails. I am now trying to set up a linux box inside of the firewall just for personal usage. I set up exim to handle locally e-mail from me to me, and I specified to send every message without domain to our mailhost using the smartuser driver: smartuser: driver = smartuser new_address = [EMAIL PROTECTED] then I modified my /etc/hosts to include the mailhost host. Now the problem: if I use ping or telnet or ftp then I can connect to mailhost, but exim can't connect to mailhost because he just try to get the address from the DNS. It seems to me that exim doesn't look at the /etc/hosts file. Is it true? Should I became DNS myself? Thanks, Giuseppe Sacco

Thanks again, Giuseppe
quota
Hi all, I have a problem related to quota: I have just compiled the kernel for quota support and changed the fstab in that way: 1. /dev/hda4 / ext2 defaults,usrquota,grpquota,errors=remount-ro 0 1 2. /dev/hda4 / ext2 defaults,usrquota,errors=remount-ro 0 1 when I used the number 1. I found a file /remount-ro that is used for the quota. Then I changed to number 2. but still that file is used. Why? Looking throught the documentation I saw that the file name should be something like quota.user and quota.group. Bye, Giuseppe
Re: pcmcia driver problem
Hi All, I ran into the exact same problem. Here's the solution I found: 1. Make sure you install *both* the pcmcia-cs and the pcmcia-modules of the same version and of the same version as your kernel (Note if you are installing these via a pcmcia card connection, copy them locally to your harddrive first, as installation requires shutting down the pcmcia subsystem !). I just solved the problem compiling the kernel, the modules, the pcmcia tools, the pcmcia modules WITH version information AND SMP off. At this moment I am now running the linux box with kernel 2.1.119 and everything works. BUT I still get some weird errors from a shell process when starting and stopping the pcmcia services. The errors are related to the processor: i get the processor status and something more, but everything is working correctly. I don't know why.. Thanks a lot, Giuseppe

hsogso:/etc/init.d# ifconfig eth0 10.1.10.240 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 10.1.255.255 SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device eth0: unknown interface. SIOCSIFNETMASK: Operation not supported by device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Operation not supported by device eth0: unknown interface. hsogso:/etc/init.d# Sems to me that you didn't load the module/driver when after loading the module try lsmod dmesg The modules should be correctly installed, the modules are loaded and when ifconfig calls the module then it gets these errors. It is not a problema related to the order the system calls /etc/init.d/* because I just provided you an example of calling manually the ifconfig program *after* the system is booted and running.

pcmcia driver problem
Hi, I have succesfully installed a Debian2.0 from a CD on a laptop Toshiba Satellite 310CDS. Then I upgraded the pcmcia*.deb file the the 4th version (from slink) and installed the package. Now I have a problem related to pcmcia ethernet adaptor. The error I get is: hsogso:/etc/init.d# ifconfig eth0 10.1.10.240 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 10.1.255.255 SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device eth0: unknown interface. SIOCSIFNETMASK: Operation not supported by device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Operation not supported by device eth0: unknown interface. hsogso:/etc/init.d# What can I do? Do I have to add some data to my question? Thanks a lot, Giuseppe
problem at start of debian linux installation
Hi people, I have a laptop from TOSHIBA, model 310CDS, and I have a copy of your last distribution (hamm, 2.0, 24/7/98.) I have a floppy disk that I wrote using the command rawrite2 whith arguments 'resc1440.bin' and 'A:'. (from debian/hamm/main/disks-i386/current) Then I inserted the floppy disk and rebooted the WindowsNT system I already have on this laptop. I viewed the normal debian welcome message and the 'boot:' prompt. So I pressed ENTER. The boot process was starting. I read the messages about loading the root.bin and the linux kernel. Then the laptop was rebooted. Starting the same boot process. Endless... I tryed several times this operation, but it is always restarting after loading kernel and root image. Do you have some hints about that? I thank you very much, Giuseppe Sacco -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
update of message about debian on toshiba laptop
I forgot to mention that I also tried to boot using the images: resc1440tecra.bin and resc1440tecra-fast.bin. No one of those worked. I always have a rebooted laptop. Thanks a lot, Giuseppe Sacco -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
