PAM logins
I would like to use pam to deny logins to all users who are not part of a certain group. My setup is that I am using ldap to manage the accounts across many computers and on many of the computers the normal users are supposed to be able to login, but we want a few to be staff member logins only. I have tried using pam_wheel, but it didn't deny logins to those not in the specific group as I thought it would. I also checked with #debian and someone suggested pam_access but I cannot see how to use it to do what I want. Would anyone have suggestions on how to use pam to deny those not in a specific group? -- Scott Henson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'd be glad to hear from more experienced sysadmins on this, and I'm curious as to what's the problem with a normal user having mail access. I agree with you that if a user has an account, they should have email. The accounts are for Elementary students. Some of the teachers/staff don't want some kids to have access to email if they abuse it. (They could send nasty emails to other class mates) (We use IMP) We use a squid proxy to help block commercial email sites from the school, but this will never stop a kid from sending email from their homes. Anyway, I hope I never have to block email accounts, but if the boss says so, then I guess I have to find a way. Thanks for your suggestions. Couldnt you do the blocking from imp? Just disallow them from loging into imp. That would stop them from sending anything. Of course you would have to disable any mua that may be on the machines that exim will forward mail for. Also if these are elementary school students and all they use this machine for is email, why not just remove thier account if they are naughty. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The first one (VIA) is supported by kernel (built-in) and for xwave 4000 I use alsa-0.9. The confusing thing is which card is connected to /dev/dsp0 and which to /dev/dsp1. How can I configure this and let application (e.g. xmms) use specified sound device? Thanks a lot. Generally whichever the kernel sees first. If the VIA is built-in Im guessing it would be /dev/dsp0 and the other would be /dev/dsp1. But you could always just plug some speakers into both and test which is which.

Re: Motorola SM56 on Debian Linux

However, that decision depends on whether I can be assured that my modem works. Currently I am using drivers supplied in rpm form from Motorola; these run only on the older 2.2.* kernel. From my short experience with Red Hat 8.0 there is no way to migrate the drivers to the newer 2.4.* kernel. From the research I have done so far it appears to me that it should not be difficult to convert the rpm package into a deb package using alien. The question is however, which release of Debian to purchase and whether I have of a choice between what kernels I want to use. According to LinuxMall.com, Debian 3.0r0 allows the user to choose which kernel to install. Does this mean there is any chance my modem will work? If it does, I should get Debian 3.0r0 and install the older kernel, or should I get an older version (e.g. 2.7.*) ? I'd appreciate your assistance. Debian comes default with 2.2.x kernels(on i386 at least) and alien should work just fine.

I have 3 SCSI drives in it and I would like to add a fourth IDE drive to it. I have a 80 GB drive that would be a great chunk-o-diskTM for me to store all kinds of goodies on. I originally built the system with one SCSI drive and later added the two others. This worked great for me! But here's my problem. I have heard that by adding a IDE drive into the system I will no longer be able to boot off of my SCSI drive. Is that true? I guess there is some BIOS issue with Depends on your bios really. My bios gives me the option of booting off a scsi card, but I have seen one or two that dont give that option. Im sure yours does since your already booting off of it. Just make sure you set your boot order correctly. that. To add to the complexity of this, the drive has about 50 GB of data that I want to keep... Oh, and it is formatted NTFS (Windows 2000). Can I add this IDE drive 'as is' without re-formatting it? I seem to remember seeing that I could mount a NTFS file system somewhere. This would be the problem. The kernel does have NTFS support. The read is marked experimental and the write is marked dangerous(from what I remember). Basically reading off of said drive is a bit touchy but can be done, but you should not write to drives containing data you even remotely care about. Now I have never used this, so this is just the impression I get from what Ive read about the subject. But then again maybe read the data off onto another disk(compressing it along the way to save space) then reformat ext3 and write the data back. That would be what I would do. -- Scott Henson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have an old system with only 50 MB of free disk space. It's running potato and I want to upgrade to woody via http (there's no CD drive). But if I do apt-get dist-upgrade, apt will try to download way more than 50 MB of packages, will fill up the disk and the upgrade will fail and my system will probably be trashed. The only thing I could find in the apt documentation was a passing reference to the config entry Dir::Cache::archives saying if I set it to a blank value, apt will not cache any archive files. Will a dist-upgrade still work if I do this? Is there a better way? Im not familiar with this, but you could first run an apt-get clean to clear out the archives and then look at how much space you have for the dist-upgrade. If this fails you try finding major packages that have alot of things that have versioned dependancies on them then do an apt-get install package and see how much in terms of archives it pulls in and slowly upgrade your system that way. Try libc6, perl, apache, python, and the like. You can check the output of apt-get -u dist-upgrade to get more packages to do the install trick on. This would be the best way I know of, though if you can find the option you spoke of above and use it I would think that would be better, but I fear that it only refers to how big apt will let the archive grow before deleting stuff and not to how much disk space it will use durring an upgrade. Though I of course could be wrong. Second, is there a way to make apt (or dpkg) fail gracefully if a partition fills up? I recently did a dist-upgrade upgrade from potato to woody (on a different system than described above). It completed without giving any indication of failure, but when I rebooted I got the dreaded LI prompt (instead of LILO). Only when I booted with a rescue disk did I discover that the root partition was 100% full. After a little panicked messing around, I finally trashed an old Windows partition (yay!) to get more space, repartitioned and installed woody from scratch. You could have run apt-get clean after your dist-upgrade. Also I am assuming you installed a new kernel for the upgrade(or there would have been no need for the reboot) are you sure you ran lilo?

apt-get dist-upgrade error
I am getting this really wierd error from apt-get.
apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Bus errorDependency Tree... 0%
It is really weird cause I know apt should be alright because it ran
just fine last night in my cron job that fetches all the new packages
for my upgrade. Then today when I tried to do an apt-get dist-upgrade
to install them all, it gave me that error.
I then looked at dmesg and I see a bunch of errors concerning my hdd.
end_request: I/O error, dev 16:08 (hdc), sector 229232
hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

These all appear when I try to do apt-get dist-upgrade. Now hdc is a
new maxtor 40 gig hard drive that is just barely 6 months old. It
contains all of my system partitions. Is it looking like its about to
fail? Should I be looking into backing stuff up onto my other hard
drives? Or should I just fsck the partition and see what comes up? Any
help would be much appreciated.

I just want to use a basic image on a single floppy and install the entire OS from our local mirror using http. I looked into the docs, it listed many ways to install, but the one using floppies consume lot of them and I dont think that is right way to do. Do you think using the rescue and root images will help. Can anyone suggest me ways to do what I want? Please cc me as I am not on the list. What you can do with just the root and rescue floppies depends a lot on what network card you have. Check the .config for the version of the boot floppy you are using, and if your network card is compiled in then you can boot using just the rescue and root floppies and then get everything else over the network. I used to do this all the time till they started compiling the vortex drivers as a module. If you don't find your driver compiled in I think you can compile your own rescue floppy then use the root floppy. I have yet to try this approach, but I think it should work in theory. Good luck.

Last night I had no /dev/hde so I had to use MAKEDEV to make it 'cdisk /dev/hde' still however says the stuff about no partition table... if the drive is brand-spanking new does that make this message less unanticipated or is there still something probably not right with the situation? Who made your drive? Most I know Maxtor has its own drive utilities which you could use to check the drive and even give it its first partitioning. Also, you said the system cant handle the drive without the promise ide card? Are you sure your problem isnt the bios not being able to handle it? I would check for a bios update, that might help out a bit. All this said, It seems to be detected properly, but the partition table may be corrupt. Also it seems that hde is set to pio while hdh is set to dma. Is this normal? I thought most hard drives used dma. This may have something to do with your problem. Maybe you could check where the bios on the promise card are detecting your drive and what it says about it. -- -Peace kid Scott Henson [EMAIL PROTECTED] God's the ultimate playa, so naturally He's going to have some haters, rapper Ice Cube said.

I'm pretty sure im using the correct version number, but I'm lost Ok your probably trying to put the unstable version on to a testing or stable system. If it is a stable system just dist-upgrade to woody. If it is already at testing(woody), you can use apt pinning. Do a 'man apt_preferences' to get a good listing of what apt pinning is. You should read that first. Then add this to a file called '/etc/apt/preferences' Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 500 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 100 Then go and add unstable sources to your sources.list file(hint: copy your woody/testing sources and change woody/testing to unstable). After this do an 'apt-get update apt-get -t unstable install mozilla' and you should be running the mozilla version you want. But watch out getting stuff from unstable. Stuff in there is known to be broken and you use it at your own risk(even though in practice unstable is quite stable). -- -Peace kid Scott Henson [EMAIL PROTECTED] God's the ultimate playa, so naturally He's going to have some haters, rapper Ice Cube said.
