Any repository which is not accessible on port 80 or 443 will not work for them. I've set up the repository on a different server with apache2 and libapache2-svn. Workes perfectly. Regards, Jim

Can I host a svn repository on apache-1.3?
Hello, I've got a system running Sarge with apache 1.3 and I would like to offer a subversion repository via webdav. I installed the libapache-dav package, created a directory and enabled DAV for it. The webdav server works well: I can access it with webdav clients (konqueror, windows xp webfolder), I can create files, directories, etc. But how do I get svn to store its files there? I tried "svn import . http://server/project-name";, but it alwas returns "svn: The VCC property was not found on the resource" I tried to create an svn repository on the server with svnadmin, it did not help. Does subversion require more than a simple webdav server? Unfortunately svnserve is not an option, and an upgrade to apache2 would require a lot of work. Regards, Jim Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +Indexes DAV on AuthName "projectname-svn" AuthType basic AuthUserFile /some/file/name Require user blah

LDAP schema for kaddressbook?
Hello, recently I moved my contacts and addresses, which I manage with kaddressbook, from the local file-based backend to my ldap server. This works quite well in general, but unfortunately kaddressbook is unable to save some extended properties like the date of birth or instant messaging addresses to the ldap backend. Kaddressbook uses the inetOrgPerson object class, which does not support these attributes. Is there a schema file, that would allow kaddressbook to store all properties of my contacts on the ldap backend? Any help is greatly appreciated, Jim

This is a critical bug and it is sure that people _will_ lose important data when they upgrade their cyrus-imapd. I don't think that fixing the description of the upgrading procedure is enough.

Ok, imapd is up and running again, all mailboxes and mails are back. First I reinstalled the cyrus21 packages and inserted the record for the cyrus system user to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow again. Then rsync'ed the latest snapshot of /var/spool/cyrus from the backup machine back to the imap server ran cyradm as user cyrus and created all mailboxes manually: cm user.jim cm user.jim.outbox cm user.alice cm user.alice.outbox ... Then, still as user cyrus, I ran "cyrreconstruct -f -r user" and it recreated all mailbox files. After a restart of the cyrus master all users could access their mails again. Unfortunately the message status information was lost. All messages are new and unread now and I can not see which messages I have answered. I might get over that loss, but it would still be nice if I could get those information back. Regards, Jim
Restoring cyrus21-imapd
Hello, a few weeks ago I updated my imap server on sarge from cyrus-imapd to cyrus21-imapd. Everything went quite well and was running perfectly for a few weeks. Yesterday I decided to purge the old cyrus packages (cyrus-imapd and cyrus-common). I was surprised how fast 250.000 files on a reiser filesystem can be deleted: Purging the old cyrus packages removed all mails from /var/spool/cyrus and all db files from /var/lib/cyrus. 250.000 mails from several users were gone in a few seconds. While I have a recent (~10 hrs old) backup of the mailspool in /var/spool/cyrus, I do not have a backup of /var/lib/cyrus. Is there an easy way to restore the mailboxes file and the other database files, maybe even quote information from the data in /var/spool/cyrus? Any help will be greatly appreciated, Jim

cyrus21-imapd: Tell cyrdeliver to deliver not only to INBOX
Hello, yesterday I upgraded my email server at home from Woody to Sarge. The mails are stored on an cyrus imap server which got upgraded as well to cyrus21-imapd. The transition as described in the upgrading script worked pretty good and all mails and folders are still accessible. However cyrdeliver seem no longer to be able to put mail in mailboxes other than the INBOX. Postfix invokes Procmail for local delivery and the procmailrc sorts the mail into different folders on the imap server. This is a sample recipe from my .procmailrc: DELIVER='/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver -a jim -q jim ' [...] :0 * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes | formail -I "From " | $DELIVER -m spam The mailbox I want to to deliver to with this recipe is "user.jim.spam". This worked pretty well with the old cyrus-imapd. However, with cyrus21-imapd all mail appears in the INBOX, regardless of the folder it should have been delivered to. I tried all variations in the cyrdeliver syntax that I could imagine, but it didn't help at all. Does anybody have an idea? Cyrdeliver is suid to cyrus, so every user is permitted to deliver with it: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ l /usr/sbin/cyrdeliver -rwsr-x--- 1 cyrus users 186424 2005-03-03 16:22 /usr/sbin/cyrdeliver Thanks for any help, Jim

xdm from unstable: Address family not supported by protocol
Hello, I have a Debian system that I just upgraded from Stable to Unstable. Xdm allowed remote logins on that machine. However, I cannot get the updated xdm 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 to reply any xdm queries. "netstat -lup" shows that xdm doesn't listen on the xdmcp port at all. Is there something I missed? The only hint I have is in /var/log/xdm.log, which says: XDMCP socket creation failed: Address family not supported by protocol What does that mean? Does the new xdm require a network protocol I do not have in my kernel? Maybe ipv6? As soon as I downgrade xdm to the sarge version, xdm runs perfectly again? Any tips? Regards, Jim

Switching from emacs to vim was a thoroughly > unregrettable experience for me, and I'd like to spread the love. Ryan, thank you very much for your offer. Although I'm not yet sure, whether I can live without Emacs, it can never be wrong to broaden my horizon. I'm not an Emacs specialist (are there any on this list at all?), but I have been using Emacs for writing mails, programming in Perl, Java, and C++ and general text editing in the last five years. Also, I'm not fluent in Lisp, but over the years I have collected and written a good number of functions that ease my life every day. And although I know the basic vim commands I need to edit and save a file, I'm missing a lot of stuff. I have a lot of questions, so it would probably be rude to ask you to answer all of them. My unicode problem hits me especially when writing mails, so this is the most important point for me. I'm using mutt with (maybe soon) vim as editor. When I'm replying to a mail, vim does fill the paragraphs (it calls it "folding", right?) and colours the mail while I'm writing. So it must be in some kind of mail-mode. How does it know it has to enable the mail-mode? The folding/filling of lines is quite important for me. How can I enable/disable it manually (corresponding to emacs' auto-fill-mode)? How can I adjust the line width (default-fill-column)? I often use the flyspell-mode in Emacs, together with a function that switches between german and british spelling on the fly, mapped to [f8]. Is something like this possible with vim, too? Thanks a lot, Jim

What I have tried so far includes starting emacs out of a utf-8 xterm, setting
(setq locale-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
in .emacs. I also tried to prefix find-file with
universal-coding-system-argument
(C-x C-m c). No success so far: Emacs still displays all non-ascii
characters as two bytes. I have tried emacs in X mode as well as
inside the xterm ("emacs -nw"). My emacs is 21.4.1 from Debian
Sarge.
I'm quite stuck now. Vim works in the utf-8 xterm out of the box.
Maybe I should give up my emacs macros and consider to learn Vim...

How do I edit UTF-8 encoded files with Emacs?
Hello, Short question: How do I edit UTF-8 encoded files with Emacs? Those files contains German quotation marks, Umlauts and other interesting things. Long explanation: I'm in the need to reply to windows-1251-encoded emails and to keep all those special characters like the ellipses, German quotation marks, etc intact. In fact I'm proof-reading texts that other people write. I like to use mutt from Sarge for most of my eMails, with Emacs as editor. The setup I have so far works quite good: I run mutt in an utf-8 xterm, and set charset=utf8 in .muttrc. This way I can see all the strange characters and with set editor="vim -c 'set encoding=utf-8' -c 'set fileencoding=utf-8'" in .muttrc I can even edit my mails correctly. But how do I do that with emacs? How do I tell emacs that the file I'm editing is utf-8-encoded? Regards, Jim

NSS and LDAP problem with /etc/hosts
Hello, I have got a small network with a handful machines and I successfully moved all global user accounts onto an LDAP server a few weeks ago and made all workstations use it. This works great for Debian and other systems. Now I've put the /etc/hosts database onto LDAP as well, changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf on a test client from hosts: files dns to hosts: files ldap dns This works great, too. BUT, at the next reboot the machine hangs infinitely as soon as init starts. The last line I see is "INIT: version 2.86 booting". As soon as I change this single line back, the system will boot well again. And when the system is running I can add "ldap" to the name resolution and the machine will happily resolve local names via ldap again. The same system gets passwd and group databases via ldap, too, so ldap generally works. I've also put the system onto a network hub and found out that it doesn't send a single byte out to the ldap server. Does anybody have an idea? Or at least an idea, how I could further debug this problem? Kind regards, Jim
debootstrap for different architecture
Hello, I recently upgraded my desktop machine from a Pentium3 to an Athlon64-based system. I'm still running the same operating system, an x86/32-bit version of sarge. My system is running fine and I'm not willing to risk it by installing a 64-bit sarge. However I'm interested to play with the amd64 port, so I created a new LVM volume and panned to debootstrap the amd64 port into it. So far so good. Debootstrap offers an --arch parameter, but it fails after downloading the packages with an "Exec format error". What is the --arch parameter for? Is there another option beside using the debian installer, which I'm a little bit afraid of? Regards, Jim

Problems with network cards in old board
Hello, I'm trying to replace a 10MBit card in an older computer by a 100MBit card. The system is an Pentium-133, PIIX chipset, running Sarge with kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386. Previously the system had an 10Mbit Intel EEPro ISA card, which worked flawlessly. The system is an X terminal. First I tried a D-Link DFE-530TX, which normally runs flawlessly in other systems with sarge. The via-rhine driver for this card loads, creates eth0, detects a 100Mbit FD link, but when I try to send data, I see "eth0: transmit timed out". Then I tried a 3Com 3C905C-TX-M card, which also runs with Sarge in other systems. This time the kernel tells me "Warning: IRQ 0 is unlikely to work." and advises me to use pci=biosirq. I tried that too: This parameter makes the kernel oops, before it comes to userspace. I also tried to assign an irq in the bios manually, but this has no effects. Can anybody give me a tip, how to get this to work? Kind regards, Jim
