Routing question, mixed real+private IP network, ARP
Hi folks, I have the following network: 192.168.1.2 +--- eth1 192.168.1.1 |eth0 aaa.bbb.ccc.130 +--- real IP network 192.168.1.3 + Debian Router | | +-aaa.bbb.ccc.129 192.168.1.4 + | | +-aaa.bbb.ccc.132 ... + | aaa.bbb.ccc.131 + How can I configure "Debian router" to forward packets that come from eth0 to aaa.bbb.ccc.131 to eth1? If I do: route add -host aaa.bbb.ccc.131 dev eth1 Then the Debian Router is able to ping aaa.bbb.ccc.131 Put real IP's are not able to do it. I just see incoming ARP to aaa.bbb.ccc.131 on eth0, but these ARPs are not forwarded to eth1 neither answered by Debian router. ipchains forward rules are MASQ for 192.168.x.y and ACCEPT for others. I think I should use some "IP tunneling" option, but I have never used and I don't know where to start from. I also don't know if this is called "IP tunneling". Any hints?

Serial V.35 card
Hi folks, I have a NEC Pasolink network equipment and would like to connect it with a Debian computer to use it as a router, instead of buying a Cisco router. I have no previous experience about it. I know the Pasolink has a V.35 syncronous serial port. Which hardware do I need to connect it to the computer? Does potato has the kernel modules to work with this hardware? Which protocol does the V.35 uses to encapsulate IP? Thanks in advance, Pedro

Oi!
From the find manpage:
-exec command ;
Execute command; true if 0 status is returned. All
following arguments to find are taken to be argu
ments to the command until an argument consisting
of `;' is encountered. The string `{}' is replaced
by the current file name being processed everywhere
it occurs in the arguments to the command, not just
in arguments where it is alone, as in some versions
of find. Both of these constructions might need to
be escaped (with a `\') or quoted to protect them
from expansion by the shell. The command is exe
cuted in the starting directory.
Try replacing the ">" with "\>"

Squid - Had to "recreate" the cache...
Hi Folks, It installed Squid in a server three months ago and I had no problem with it since the instalation date. But yesterday, it stopped working well. It only sent to clients the first 6910 bytes of the page and then stopped. Every computer in the localnet using it as a proxy, only could browse pages with less then this size... I tried /etc/init.d/squid restart I tried /etc/init.d/squid stop; /etc/init.d/squid start They did not work... After some hours, I could make it work again doing: /etc/init.d/squid stop rm -rf /var/spool/squid squid -z /etc/init.d/squid start Did squid cache got corrupted? why? what happened? Did anyone had the same problem? Thanks in advance, Pedro

Printing to HP Laserjet 1100
Hi all, I have a HP Laserjet 1100 printer. It works ok with magicfilter. In the Debian machine with magicprinter, it prints about 2 pages per minute. Using the driver that came with it, in a machine with other Pseudo-OS that I wont say the name here :-) it prints 8 pages per minute. I am using the same 600x600 resolution in both tests. It seems that the faster driver implements some data compression and data is sent quickly to the parallel port. (not sure about this) Is there any configuration in the parallel port that could make it faster? (the bios parallel port configuration are the same in both tests) Does anyone know something about this??? Any hints? Thanks, Pedro

The best I could do to improve serial port performance was: set it's irq priority to highest with irqtune (package hwtools). # irqtune -s 4#example with /dev/ttyS0 io=0x3f8 irq=4 use program set_serial with low_latency mode. Add low_latency in your serial port line in /etc/serial.conf: /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550A port 0x03f8 irq 4 baud_base 115200 spd_normal skip_test low_latency use a C program to set trigger parameter in UART to 1 byte. that means that the irq will be set with just one bit in the uart fifo. in this case you must use root permitions, ioperm and outb. you should send 0x01 to io BASE_ADDRESS+2 Hope that helps someone else, Pedro
xserver for intel 82815
Please CC your reply to me, I'm not a subscriber of this list. Hi all, I am experiencing problems with a video board that shares VideoRam with Ram. The computer is an HP Vectra VL400, P3-800. It has on-board 82815 Intel video. Which xserver does this chip requires? The computer has Debian "Potato" installed. Can I use this video board with Xserver3.6? Has anybody successfully configured it to show 1024x768 16bpp? "SuperProbe", "xviddetect" and "lspci -v" do not give me any hints... they say unknown device/unknown manufacturer. In the computer BIOS I have no option to config this video/ram sharing memory... Thanks in advance, Pedro
Serial i386 - high priority IRQ & disable FIFO
Please CC your reply to me, I'm not a subscriber of this list. Hi all, I need to use a special device conected to the other end in a hardware installed this way: PC - modem - telephoneline - modem - device. So.. what is the problem? The device sends "messages" to the PC of 1 to 4 bytes. and the PC answer these messages as a slave. This messages must be answered by the PC aplication as soon as possible, so I used irqtune to give the highest priority to the serial port. Sometimes (about once each 50 messages) that fails (takes about 8 seconds to aplication receive the message) and I think that it could be the PC UART FIFO. Do you have any hint about disabling the FIFO? Is there any FIFO size parameter that specifies how many bytes should FIFO have before IRQ is set? I already monitored the serial wires at the pc port and the delay is inside the PC. The PC UART is 16550A. This PC has woody distribution installed. Thanks in advance, Pedro

HELO command in exim
Please CC copies of replies to me as I'm not a subscriber of this list Hi all, I have some problem with exim. When it contacts foreign hosts to send my mail, it starts with: HELO milho (milho is my hostname) But some servers reject the messages because they check the HELO command. That is wrong, but I can't do anything about other servers. How can I tell exim to send my full domain in the HELO instead of my hostname? Thanks in advance, Pedro more info: running Debian 2.2R3 - exim 3.12-10.1

I'll put xset in a global xinit so all the users will have this feature enabled. Now I'll have to discover how to do it in a console, or enable 'gdm' or 'xdm' so the computer starts X and that will probably work when nobody is logged. What you told about go to another terminal and back to X... why dont you try: xset dpms 300 360 480 xset +dpms Maybe it works. Thanks for everyone, Pedro
