Apache bandwidth usage stats by virtual host?
Hi, Can someone suggest a log analyzer that will process apache logs for various virtual hosts, and generate output indicating bandwidth usage for each one? Most programs I've found such as webalizer are meant to be run on a single site/virtual host. Although it wouldnt be too hard to write a script that runs webalizer on every log, it would be a pain to have to look at each one separately to figure out total bandwidth used and such..

network monitoring
Anyone know of some good network monitoring tools for linux? Better yet, are there any in debian? What I'm looking for is something that will show graphs or statistics of network traffic on a per host basis, show the number of collisions, possibly track down the hosts that cause the most colisions, etc etc.. pgp09srU3m0Io.pgp Description: PGP signature

Radius Questions
Hi.. I work for a local isp, and am one of the sysadmins. We use merrit radius, and want to switch over to cistron. Even though neither of these are part of debian, we are using debian systems :) I realize that this has nothing to do with debian-devel, but I thought that since this is a bit of a more advanced topic, I might find more help there (this is kind of urgent). Please do not cc replies to debian-devel. Questions: 1. We have a group of users that want a 'clean' internet connection. What this means is that they go through a proxy which filters out bad web pages. What we want is for these users to go through a different gateway than everyone else (that way they have to use the proxy, or they cant look at any web pages). Is there a way to do this with pppd and radius? 2. We have another group of users that are allowed to login only during certain times of the day, and a group that has email-only accounts (and they cant login at all). Both of these have their own group in /etc/groups. Can this be setup with cistron radius without changing the source? 3. Today I was trying to get portslave (the cistron radius client) to act like a getty. We use cyclades boards for this. No matter what I did, it just wouldnt work. Portslave would run from init, it would initialize the modem, and just sit there waiting for OK. If I tell it not to wait for the OK (the modem does send it btw), then it gets past that part, and waits for a RING, but it never gets that either, and therefore never sends the ATA. It looks like it can send data to the modem, but not receive. I know that the init string gets sent to the modem because if for example I enable auto answer in the init string, the modem auto answers. Any ideas on what could cause this? We really like the portslave client because of features like pap, and countless others, but its useless if it doesnt work.. I was able to get it to work with our port servers which just telnet into the linux box, telnetd then just uses portslave as its login program, but it just doesnt want to work with the modems. I started thinking that maybe there is something wrong with the version of portslave I have (portslave-1.16.tar.gz). Any ideas? PS. We have the cistron radius server (1.5.4.2) working perfectly with our old client. (except for the email only accounts and the such..) pgpsGYtf29Ygv.pgp Description: PGP signature

Getting file information
What is the name of the command in debian that shows information about files? Things like last access time, last modification time and so on. I could swear that I once used a command 'stat' for this purpose, but it either wanished, or it never was in debian (might have been in my redhat days).. pgpHPfpphqEMA.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm not sure if this is right, but I assume this is what happened: This goes back to a previous bug in xterm where it would update the wtmp when you run it, but not remove you from it once you quit the xterm (something about it giving up root privs too soon), so I assume that too many people complained, and wtmp updating was dissabled untill this bug is fixed.. pgpNKgOSsd9vI.pgp Description: PGP signature

Changing xterm titles to something more usefull than 'xterm'
Is there a simple way to make xterms display the current command beeing executed in the window? By simple I mean without patching and recompiling bash and/or xterm. I know that you can change the title using the -T command line option, but I want it to change dynamically depending on what I'm doing in that xterm. This would work nicelly with afterstep's window list module.

Just because you have depth 16 in there, it doesn't mean its running at that depth, try startx -- -bpp 16 and see if that fixes it, if not then try startx -- bpp 32. You can also put this in your XF86Conig, the line is: DefaultColorDepth 16 (or 32) Depth 16 means 16 bits per pixel which is something like 64000 colors, depth 32 is 32 bits per pixel, and is 16 million colors. pgpQhwGrsnViQ.pgp Description: PGP signature

hamm upgrades
Just for your interest, I have tested the hamm disks on a friends computer, and I was able to install hamm using those disks, but like others have pointed out, perl is missing, so I had to install it manually before I could use the ftp method of dselect. I also tried autoupd.sh on another friends computer, and it went from bo to hamm just fine, there is only one problem: He uses accelerated X 4.1, which stopped working after the upgrade (complains about unresolved symbols, doesn't say which library though). Has anyone else run into this? If so, what is the fix? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The command you want is badblocks, I had similar errors a while ago, they
were caused by my harddrive, well.. dying.. :) Good thing it still had

that would work, as long as the floppy doesn't mount the hard drives.. I've
tried several times to unmount my root partition (which is obviously
impossible) I also heard that one should be able to use the remount option
of mount along with -ro, but that also failed. Since I'm too lazy to run
lsof, and look at what programs are accessing my root partition (prolly all
of them), I usually do something like tune2fs -C 255 /dev/hda5, which causes
my partition to be checked. If you actually care about why this works, read
man tune2fs. Although, this is hardly ever necessary.

mutt
I've just upgraded mutt to version 0.89.1-3 a few days ago, and I noticed that its no longer in color, in the docs there is a color keyword for the muttrc that allows one to change the color of certain things in the program, but all I really want is for it to look the way it did before the upgrade.. :) Any way to do this?

Welp, I'll assume that you are using hamm, the library is in the libg++27 package. Rvplayer also depends on xlib6 and libc5. Its probably easiest to just use the installation wrapper thing.
