Workstation in multiple NIS domains
Hi everybody, =-=-=-=-=-=-= I need to set up a few workstations so that users from multiple NIS domains could log to these workstations. (Or more precisely: I have two servers with different users. I need to set up some workstations so that any user from any of the two servers could log in and work at this workstations.) Is it possible? Did someone do it? Thanks a lot for any suggestion! All the very best, Peter

HELP
ether= parameter doesn't work
Hello, == I am using 2.2.1 kernel and I have 3 Ethernet cards in my Linux box (all are Realtek 8029 PCI). The 3rd was added recently. I wanted to preserve my settings - I knew that adding the 3rd card would change my present eth0 and eth1 name-to-adapter assignments. So I added an append line to my lilo.conf, filled it with proper values, ran lilo and restarted my server. After booting it up I ended up with swapped names of cards so I thought I made a mistake somewhere. I made more experiments - and I observed that the ne2k-pci driver completely ignored the values specified in ether= parameters. Is it possible that ne2k-pci looks for more than one network card automatically (and therefore disregards the ether= parameter)? If so, do all drivers do the same, or is this just a speciality of ne2k-pci? I haven't noticed any message telling me that I've supplied a wrong parameter to the kernel. Does any of you know if something has changed in 2.2.x about that ether= parameter? Again, I am using 2.2.1 kernel with built-in ne2k-pci driver (not as a module). By the way, where can I get some information about new parameters which can be passed to 2.2.x kernels? Is BootPrompt HOWTO updated already? Thank you in forward.

Re: xdm kdm
Hello, == I want to run xdm on vt7, and kdm on vt8. So how do I do it? I do not remember quite exactly the process how I managed to do it, but it worked ... Well, you have to set up two independent directories - /etc/X11/xdm and /etc/X11/kdm (you can copy /etc/X11/xdm to /etc/X11/kdm). Then, in each one, in the file Xservers set the proper display for particular manager, like this: /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers : :0 frcatel local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt7 /etc/X11/kdm/Xservers : :1 frcatel local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8 Then rename the file xdm-config to kdm-config (in etc/X11/kdm) and edit it, you have to change paths from /etc/X11/xdm to /etc/X11/kdm. Then, copy /etc/init.d/xdm to /etc/init.d/kdm and edit it. In /etc/init.d/kdm replace the contents of variables $DAEMON and $PIDFILE with proper values (DAEMON=/usr/local/kde/bin/kdm or so, PIDFILE=/var/run/kdm.pid). There is a very important thing - you have to tell kdm it should read its config files from /etc/X11/kdm. You can do it by passing the argument -config /etc/X11/kdm config to kdm when launching. In the /etc/X11/kdm file you'll find this line: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON Change it to this: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- -config /etc/X11/kdm/kdm-config (carefully about line breaks) Save the /etc/X11/kdm . As the last thing, issue the command update-rc.d kdm defaults 99 01 so that the kdm will be launched every time the computer starts. Also, how do I force all my users to use /etc/X11/Xsession, rather than ~/.xsession?? Hmmm - they already use it, don't they? How do you know they aren't using it? But if you want to prohibit users from using their own .xsession (although this is not a very good idea IMHO), comment the line allow-user-xsession in /etc/X11/config file.

Re: XFree86 is 3.3.3.
Hello, == Graham Lillico +44 1785 782329 wrote: Does anyone know if XFree86 is 3.3.3.x is avaliable in deb format anywhere? Or when we will have one avaliable? It will not be in the distribution till the maintainer of the X11 Debian packages feels comfortable about the current (3.3.2) packages. I think this is a problem because version 3.3.2.x is not ready for internationalization. I am publishing some articles in one Slovak PC magazine but I have to use M$ Windows when writing those articles for 3 reasons: 1.) There is not even one (!) word processor which is able to export the documents in MS Office97 format and is working properly with Slovak locale in XWin. 2.) I can't use TeX or similar because in that PC magazine they're using just MS products. 3.) I was unable to set up Slovak keyboard properly. I downloaded XWin 3.3.3. sources and compiled it and it worked with the same settings and same keyboard flawlessly! A friend of mine, using RedHat 5.2, laughed at me when I told him that we in Debian do not have even 3.3.3 when there is 3.3.3.1 out! I felt that time very uncomfortable. So until XWin 3.3.3.x appears in Debian distribution East-Europeans will have big problems getting their international support and locales working in XWin and I think it is a big pitty. I am, truly said, angry about it. Just explaining my feelings, please do not take it as offence. I simply can't stand the feeling that Linux can't do something that Windows can. I understand it is not so easy to administer and package such huge thing as XWindow, however, this disfunctionality should be at least treated as bug. So?

Re: modem configuration..
Hello, == I've installed LINUX (debian 2.0.2) on my IBM 240 E pc. LINUX is unable to sense the built in modem. PC has Rockwell HCF 56K modem at IRQ 4 on COM1. It works fine with Windows. I tried editing /etc/rc.boot/0serial script with various parameters. Whenever I run 'wvdialconf /dev/wvdial.conf' it is unable to find the modem. I think it is an PnP modem, isn't it? If it is ISA modem (or a modem internally connected to ISA bus), then try the isapnptools package - with pnpdump command you can dump all the configuration information, save it to a file, edit it so there will be only one setting for each resource, and then run isapnp with that file (or put it to /etc/isapnp.conf). If you need help with it, I'll be pleased to help (then please mail me directly, not to this list). If it is PCI modem (or connected to PCI bus), then I can't help now, because I have no information about how to start PCI PnP devices. What works in Win, doesn't have to work in Linux. Especially devices with logo Designed for Windows95 are big trouble.

Re: XFree86 is 3.3.3.
Hello again, 1.) There is not even one (!) word processor which is able to export the documents in MS Office97 format and is working properly with Slovak locale in XWin. You don't need to blame, nor Debian, nor Linux in general, that M$Office is being used at your office. If they want you to use M$Office (and apparently, they do), then blame your employer if you don't agree with him. No, no :) I do not blame anyone. I am just explaining the fact that there are maybe more than ten pretty interesting office packages, but neither one is suitable for me, because it is not properly prepared to work with locales. I know very good that Debian has nothing to do with this fact. I'd like to apologize if it seems that I am blaming Debian - I would never do that! This is nothing personal, but I see people pointing to that so-called disadvantage of the products current available on Linux platforms, but they're pointing to the wrong people. If someone wants to have a M$Office compatible thing on Linux, go out and write it. Don't blame others for not writing it. The problem is that there are enough office packages with very interesting features, but they are simply not usable everywhere. If someone is doing some program (like word processor) under XWindow, why doesn't he make it locale-compliant, as every proper program should be done? I think if someone is going to make something, then he should do it either perfectly (at least try to do it so) or not at all. A half-done work is only problematic. My friends were willing to add international support to some office packages but they haven't received any answer. Have you seen some of those packages? They are using their own fonts, own keyboards, own extensions - they are apparently not using all the features and possibilities given by XWindow. I have a beautiful collection of fonts which contain characters from my native language but I can't use them! Look, I'd like to completely erase Win95 out of my hard disk, but I can't. I am permanently switching between Win95 and Linux and I hope you understand it is sometimes driving me crazy. A friend of mine, using RedHat 5.2, laughed at me when I told him that we in Debian do not have even 3.3.3 when there is 3.3.3.1 out! I felt that time very uncomfortable. If you feel better having the latest versions of software available, without caring about other things, I don't think Debian will suffice for you. I don't feel better having new things just for higher version numbers. I feel better having new things for having things finally running. By the way, I spoke to my RedHat-using friend just because he is very clever and I thought he would help me. He suggested installing newer version of XServer (that didn't help much, but showed an improvement). So I reinstalled whole XWindow 3.3.3 and it started to work. strives after other matters, like stability and security. I don't want to start another holy war, but Debian and RedHat just differ from each other on some points. Neither do I. I agree. It is not a bug in 3.3.2, it is a feature in 3.3.3. So I don't agree with you. But I *do* see your point, and I'm sorry for you that it most likely won't be resolved in the upcoming (2.1, slink) Debian release. I am not sure if Slink solves this - even in Potato there are still 3.3.2.x packages! I don't know if your problem will be resolved if you put the latest X11 server (3.3.3.1) in place of your current X11 server, I doubt it. I think the 'bug' is in some library. Well, actually, I reinstalled only the server and main libraries and it didn't help. Now I recompiled the whole XWin and it works. I think I know where was the problem (I forgot to install new ISO8859-2 locale from 3.3.3). Again - I am terribly sorry if I offended someone. I didn't mean it so, indeed. You maybe don't see this event to be so serious than I see it, but in fact the present state doesn't allow me to use my native language on Linux.

Re: newest ncp
Hello, == I am trying to use ncpmount to mount subdirectories on a Novell Netware server, but my current version of ncpfs only allows the mounting of volumes - not subdirectories. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a newer version available that DOES allow you to mount a specific subdirectory? And if so, where to get it? I am not sure if kernels 2.0.x allow this. You should definitely try 2.2.1, I've seen this support there. About that ncpfs, try from Slink. And have a look at http://www.SerNet.DE/vl/linux-lan/ . Peter Paluch
Re: Libraries for Enlightenment
Hello! == I haven't found imlib1, not even at debian's ftp site... where could I find it? does it belong to some other package? You can find imlib in slink distribution, the graphics directory. It is also required to have libc6 (=2.0.7u), and I have libc6 2.0.7t-1 (hamm) installed instead. Will dpkg install and replace it, or could it mess up any of the already programs which depend on libc6 and are already installed? I think you can install newer libc6 without problems. Also, it requires xlib6g (=3.3-5), and I just managed to get an earlier versions (xlib6g 3.3.2.2-4)... or is it not? Try it - I think that your version is sufficient. I used `dpkg -l | less' to see the installed libraries, is there another way to see if one of those libraries may belong to a different package? Maybe looking into Contents-i386.gz and searching a specific file.

Re: Crypt function

Problem with cfingerd solved

I noticed that cfingerd didn't correctly report the setting of mesg, and always reported that the fingered user has his messages disabled.

And then it has been discovered that cfingerd improperly evaluates the meaning of file modes of a specific tty (it thought that for mesg y there has to be mode 622 although the correct mode should be 620). This bug has been fixed in the patchlevel 10, which should be available soon. The maintainer also asked me to inform you about this case. For you who already know about this, sorry for disturbing.

Re: burning hamm on CD.
Hello, == Hi, I downloaded the Hamm/main at work, the problem is that the size of the tree is about 760 MB. I want to burn it to CD, but it won't fit. I noticed that a lot of packages are identical in the binary-0i386 and binary-all, can I remove the identical ones from the binary-all? What software did you use to download the Debian distribution tree? As far as I know there are no identical packages in the binary-i386 and in the binary-all, but there are just symbolical links from binary-i386 to binary-all. It is possible that your ftp software doesn't know symbolical links and instead of making them it downloaded the files twice - once in the binary-i386 and once in the binary-all. This is going to be problem in non-Linux systems as they cannot make any symbolical links. It is also possible that you simply counted sizes of those files twice, and that you _have_ those symbolic links. But I wonder. I will be very happy if somebody from this list answers to this problem.

Re: installing packages
Hello, == How do you go about installing packages that are gzipped, and don't have .deb extensions? If they are only gzipped, then there is only file inside the .gz file, and you unzip it using gunzip, like : gunzip name_of_the_file.gz However, if the files end with .tar.gz or with .tgz, then you have to use tar to extract files from this archive, and you do it this way: tar xpzvf name_of_the_file.tar.gz It is very often better to install a package than to install from these archives, as they can contain pure source files which you have to compile and arrange inside your system. In the .deb packages that is already done.

Re: Virtual Consoles
Hello, == I wish to screen to clear after booting my system but using agetty this is not possible, I have tried using mingetty and this does what I require, but I am wondering if there is anyreason agetty was chosen (i.e Does it support some features mingetty does not, when used for virtual consoles)? I can't answer that question, unfortunately, but I am quite satisfied with agetty. If you wish to clear the screen after every logout, it is rather simple and it can be done by putting this line into /etc/profile: trap clear EXIT and it means that when bash catches the EXIT signal it executes clear before it exits. And so you'll have a perfectly clear screen after every logout. I do not think it is wise to have your first VC clean immediately after bootup as you can miss some error messages (and forget to look into /var/log/messages ;-) .

Re: disk partitions (part 3) ... :D
Hello, == I guess installing LILO on the boot sector of the linux partition will have the save result as placing it in the MBR. I installed Linux first, and then win95. It should still be possible to boot Linux, but as I have to init my soundcard with a DOS util, I use loadlin. Installing LILO on the bootsector of the linux partition and making it bootable is quite a good way of booting and still having a win95 MBR. Yes, it should be the same effect. At home my Linux partition is at secondary drive, and I didn't want to mess my MBR and partition tables and whatever they are, so I decided to put LILO on a floppy disk and when I want to start Linux , I simply reset the computer with the floppy inserted and it is (almost) as fast as having LILO at the hard disk.

Re: fetchmail quit after upgrading smail
Hello friends, == I decided to tackle my fetchmail/smail upgrde today. I am running a hamm system but had put smail on hold because it messed up fetchmail. I have searched the debian user mailing list arhive and tried the various suggetions with no luck. I was awaiting answers for this problem. I did solve it, but I don't think it is the best way to get on with that pesky problem... It seems that smail tries to check whether the sender really exists. And the smail tries to connect to some DNS server to look up the IP of the sender's server. This is a problem when your computer is not registered in any of DNS and/or if you are not connected to Internet while processing mail. It just can't connect and check the address of the sender, and therefore it fails. I had to install and run named server and I registered my own domain for myself... That made the problem go away. As I needed DNS from various reasons, it is good for me to have, but it is probably just wasting the energy and space if you do not run a server. As I say, I don't treat this as a good thing how to handle smail's behavior.

Re: XWindows too big for my screen.
Hello, == In X-Windows, almost any software I run extends off the edges of the screen, making it difficult or impossible to use some stuff (Especialy games, but other stuff too.) I'm using an SVGA monitor, but with a generic VGA graphics card. Well, how much VRAM do you have on your graphics card? I have just 1 MB, but it allows me to run XWindow in 800x600x256 colors with virtual screen of 1024x768. I think it is also suitable for you. Virtual screen is a screen that 'exceeds' the size of your physical screen. You can enlarge it and move in it by simply dragging your mouse towards some corner of the screen. I suspect your virtual screen is too small, so it'll be good to enlarge it. So, edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file, find the 'Screen sections' section and add this line to every 'Subsection Display': Virtual 1024 768 (or how much do you want) so it looks like this: Subsection Display Depth 8 Modes 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 640x480 ViewPort0 0 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubsection Of course, only one of that subsections is responsible for your display (because X automatically chooses the proper driver and settings for your card), but because I don't know which one of them is to be used to set up your X, I suggest you put that line into every such subsection. Of course you may experiment and find out which one subsection is really needed and edit only that. I think you should edit preferably those section which are commented to be for generic VGA. But there is nothing to mess. By the way, how many screens do you have on your X? It is set in the system.fvwm2rc file (if you're using FVWM2) in the line DeskTopSize. Make sure it is at least 2x2. Well, try it - and if it doesn't work, just e-mail ;-) Everything the best, Peter -- * * Peter Paluch * * Kukucinova 939/35 * * Kysucke Nove Mesto* * 024 01* * Slovakia, Europe * * - * * tlf: +421 826 421 2542* * e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
