RE: cp sucks or do I not know enough?

Here is options used

-A, --almost-all   do not list implied . and ..
-1 list one file per line
-p, --file-typeappend indicator (one of /=@|) to entries

We grep / to remove directories from output, since they won't be copied

I suggest you install mii-diag to troubleshoot this problem, with

POSIX ACLs on Debian

2006-06-30 Thread Jean-Sebastien Pilon
Hi all, 

I would like to implement POSIX ACLs on a Debian server. 

The partition is formatted with ReiserFS. 

I am using the default 2.4 kernel in 3.1r2 (2.4.27-2-386)

I understand that POSIX ACLs were introduced with 2.6 kernels.

I see that Debian most likely patched the 2.4 kernel for POSIX ACLs 

# cat /boot/config-2.4.27-2-386 | grep POSIX
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL=y

But ReiserFS seems to be missing. Can I get it to work with that 2.4
kernel?? 

Or can I install a ReiserFS/POSIX ACLs enabled kernel without having to
compile anything?

Thanks for your help.

I want all dependencies to be installed from stable if possible

Subject: creating custom binary
packages?



 

I have a need to create my own .debs for a box at work, and I'd like to
use precompiled stuff when I can.  How do I create a custom .deb from a
precompiled package, a la firefox or MySQL?  I've looked at the New
Maintainer's Guide (though perhaps not as in depth as I ought) and I didn't see
anything there.  Can anyone give me some pointers?

RE: Partitioning an FTP server

You could try using nagios to monitor your dns availability, you can

RE: how to compile sarge's default kernel

I load /boot/config-2.4.27-2-386 to xconfig, and
compile it, will the kernel be the same as
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-386?

I'm afraid my kernel will look for modules in
/lib/modules/2.4.27, not in /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386

RE: minicom, modem questions

1997-09-12 Thread Pilon

-Hi there, I am trying to get my modem to communicate with
-the one at work. Using dial-up networking from window$
-works, but it is pretty ennoying to reboot to
-the window$ OS every time I need my modem.

-I read the Serial and PPP-HOWTO's as well as the PPP-over-minicom
-mini-HOWTO. 
-I made sure my modem is configured as described in section 9.3
-of the PPP-HOWTO (these were default anyway).
-The point where I get stuck each time is section 9.5, i.e.
-testing the modem for dial out.
-What happens is the following:
-I start minicom, the modem initializes, I dial
-my phone-number at work, and after some seconds, ... connection 
-is established.
-As pointed out it is then question of finding
-out what the ppp-host requires as login procedure.
-The trouble is that I never receive any prompt, nor any other "funny
-characters" as suggested in these HOWTO's. Basically nothing happens.  
-(Remark: I am almost sure that my corporate site uses PAP.) 

-I've already spend too much time on this, hope someone can put
-me one the right track again, otherwise I will have to abandon
-the idea.

I had the same problem my first time with pppd,
use  +ua  in pppd commad line
