Re: fvwm2 and xdm

2002-12-24 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi,

I solved the problem.
The locales Package was configured to use en_US.UTF-8 for its language
environment. This causes fvwm to not display some fonts and also no menu
entries because of missing characters in these fonts.

The dependency to xdm seems to be another changed that I obviously had
done. ;-)

No its working.

Bye,

Sven

fvwm2 and xdm

2002-12-17 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi,

I'm using fvwm and there was no problem. After installing xdm the menu
entries are not visible anymore. The problem seems to be a wrong color
for the font because I'm able to start programs from the menu. I tried
to set the menufont and menu foreground and background in my .fvwm2rc
but this doesn't help. I disable also the entries for using FvwmTheme
but this also doesn't help.
I think this might be a problem with xresources that were installed by
the xdm package, but I have no idea where start searching.

It would be great if someone can give me a hint or solution to this.

I'm running woody without manually upgraded packages.

Plese send any answers CC to me because I'm not subscribed.
Thanks in advance.

Re: NAT Question

2002-11-20 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi,

I solved this by changing the following rules.

1. masquerading is not bound to the interface but masquerades only
   traffic that is coming from LAN
2. one DNAT rule that forwards packages to my server if the source is a
   LAN address and the destination address is my external assigned
   address
3. one DNAT rule that forwards any package that arrives on my external
   (ppp0) interface and comes from anywhere

Thanks for your help.

Re: Sendmail Config (SOLVED)

2002-01-17 Thread Sven Gaerner

Hi Jeremy,

sorry for sending the last mail twice but the GMX webinterface is
very terrible to use with Mozilla.

I get sendmail working with address rewriting and without using a
smart host.

The problem was that /etc/mail/genericsdomain just stored my domain
name but not my local host name. After adding that everything works
as expected.

Thanks.

Sven

RE: Sendmail Config

2002-01-15 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi Jeremy,

my main problem is that sendmail doesn't change my 'From:' line. I don't
want to use a smart host
for mail delivery so the domain from my 'From:' line must be resolvable.

These are the -I think- important lines from my /etc/mail/sendmail.mc.

LOCAL_CONFIG
Cwmail.shadow.local
FEATURE(`use_cw_file')dnl
FEATURE(`use_ct_file')dnl
FEATURE(`nouucp', `reject')dnl
FEATURE(`smrsh')dnl
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')dnl
FEATURE(`always_add_domain')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl
FEATURE(`genericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable.db')dnl
GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/genericdomain')dnl
LOCAL_DOMAIN(`shadow.local')dnl
MASQUERADE_AS(`shadow.local')dnl
EXPOSED_USER(root uucp)dnl
MAILER_DEFINITIONS
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl

The last lines are only for the cyrus mailer.

This configuration should run on my server. My client -also sendmail- is
configured to forward
all mails to this machine (FEATURE(`nullclient', `mail.shadow.local')).

I hope these are enough information for helping me. ;-)

Thanks in advance.

Sendmail Config

2002-01-15 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi,

I got a problem with sendmail's config.

I'm using the cyrus imapd and sendmail as MTA on one machine.
This machine is MXed as internal mail server. Internal email is sent
as expected but sendmail tries to send external mails with my internal
email address. Therefore freemailer like GMX are rejecting this mails
because my sender domain is not resolvable.

I tried using genericstable feature to rewrite my internal address. I
also tried to send my email to my gateway machine that should masquerade
emails to come from gmx.net.
Both didn't work.

Problem with LVM and ReiserFS on Woody

2001-11-20 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi,

I've got a problem with LVM and ReiserFS.
I tried to migrate my Woody system to a LVM system with ReiserFS on
the root partition. Everything works ok, but when I tried to merge
some obsolete partitions to one my volume group was not found by the
'vgscan' program. Therefore 'vgchange' was not able to activate my volume
group.
After that I tried to repair my system with the 'uuid_repair' utility
but it was not successful. My next step was to mount the logical
volume but the ReiserFS module could not find a ReiserFS on that
logical volume. Then I tried to fix the filesystem with 'reiserfsck' but
that didn't work.
My data seems to be available when I looked at the partition with a
disk editor.

Now I want to if anybody has an idea how I can get my data, maybe with
'dd' or with another tool. If anyone has an idea please send me an
email.

...I'm using the 2.4.10 kernel and the LVM 1.0.1 rc4.


Thanks in advance.

Sven

Mail Filtering with cyrus-imapd

2001-10-16 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi,

I used an IMAP server (I think the UW server) that stored al emails
per folder in one file. Sorting/Filtering works fine with deliver.
Now I switched to cyrus-imapd because no user needs a shell account
and accessing the server with Windoze Clients or Netscape/Mozilla
works better.
Unfortunately deliver does not work I think with this imap server.

This is my configuration:
I use sendmail with a special rule on the server. My email client is
mutt and the Debian version is woody.
I need this because I want to sort mailing-list mails into a special
folder and don't want to do this manually.

Does anyone have an idea how to get this working?

Re: init.d/junkbuster not loading as $DAEMON

Hi,

maybe you have to fix the permissions of the files because junkbuster
is run under the user junkbust on woody (and nobody on potato).
Otherwise enable the logfile and try starting junkbuster.

This helped me to find out that some files under /etc/junkbuster could not

woody and 2.4.8

Hi,

I've got a problem running kernel 2.4.8 with Athlon optimizations turned on.
After compiling and restarting the machine I'm not able to load modules.
I always get an error that the symbol "_mmx_memcpy()" could not be resolved.

After looking in the sources it seems to be that this module is compiled
and exported.
When I compiled my kernel withour this optimizations everything is working.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Re: LILO to boot FreeBSD

2000-10-17 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi Joel,

try grub. This bootloader is in development still but for me it works
great. With this bootloader you can boot BSD partitions and others like M$ and
Linux with reiserfs.
You will find this program on the GNU website or you can also install the
Debian version.
When you download the latest GNU source (I think it should be 0.5.96) you
can easily compile it by...

$ tar xzf grub-0.5.96.tar.gz ; cd grub*
$ debian/rules
$ su -
$ make install

That's all.

Bye,

Sven

Kerlnel NFS Daemon and Mounting

2000-10-12 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi,

I have some problems using the Kernel NFS Daemon. I used the Userspace
Daemon before without any problems. Now I installed a 2.2.17 Kernel on a Potato
box and got the problems.
I can mount each exported directory. I'm using the option rw and the
directory is also exported rw but I'm not able to mount this directory rw. When 
I
want to write a file I get the error that I want to write on a Read-Only
FS. The User IDs are the same. That should not be the problem. The same
problem occurs on a Sun Solaris 2.6 (Sparc).
I'm using the option "--no-nfs-version 3" in
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server.

I hope somebody has an idea how solve this.

Thanks in advance.

Re: OT: shell prompt tip

2000-09-16 Thread Sven Gaerner
If your shell is bash then zou can create aliases. Write in .bashrc something
like
 alias cd='cd ../../..'
This allows you to type cd on the command line to go 3 directories up.

Re: PHP4 functions

Hi Alan,

thanks for your idea. I tried it but it didn't work.

The code I used was:


I get the following output from that script:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: extension_loaded() in 
/var/www/links/content/test.php on line 2

I also checked the phpinfo() output, the mod_php4 module for Apache is loaded
and other scripts are working.

These are the dselect selections for my PHP installation:
*** Opt web  php4 4.0b3-6 4.0b3-6 A server-side, HTML-embed
*** Opt web  php4-gd  4.0b3-6 4.0b3-6 GD module for php4

*** Opt web  php4-mysql   4.0b3-6 4.0b3-6 MySQL module for php4

Re: mysql question..

In Debian the mysql support for PHP is a seperate file called mysql.so that has 
to be loaded in your PHP source file.
e.g.
:
dl("mysql.so");
:
will load the mysql.so module
If you don`t want this you have to recompile PHP and make a PHPLIB with a 
built-in mysql support

CD Creation

2000-03-13 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi,

I made big mistake when I used apt-move to creat an local mirror. Now I had a
mirror...
Now I downloaded dpkg-repack to re-create my debs. I also stripped down my
/etc/apt/sources.list to frozen main and frozen non-US/main and ran dselect
update.
Yesterday I searched the tool for creating the official Debian CDs or is this
package not in the main distribution?

I think there were some mails in this list that discussed the issue to use the
/var/apt/archive with more than one machine by sharing it with NFS. Can someone
send me some information about that?

Thanks in advance.

Now the prompt (PS1="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w >") is not reduced to ~ in the home

Hi Mark,

have a look at http://opensource.creative.com/. Download the file 
emu10k1*.tar.gz and
extract it. Before compiling check the Makefile, I had to modify the INCLUDEDIR 
to
point to the include dir of the sources. You also have to compile your kernel

to support modules and sound support as a module. You don't need to select other
sound modules.

Hi,

I installed Apache with this Extensions.
The best way would be to download the Debian Apache source and apply the patch 
which
can be found on www.rtr.com or on www.microsoft.com.
You just have to add '--add-module=mod_frontpage' to the debian/rules.

Re: Apache FrontPage Extensions

Hi,


I forgot something...

With the frontpage Package comes a compiled Apache server (httpd).

DO NOT use this because it does not support loadable modules, custom logs and 
some other nice config options.

The build ist also configure to use /usr/local/httpd/htdocs als wwwroot. You 
have to create several links to get this server working.

I think that you do not have choosen the syncppp support when compiling the 
kernel.
You find the syncppp support on the ISDN config page.
Run make menuconfig or make xconfig and compile your kernel again.

There's also an very nice FAQ. You'll find it under
/usr/doc/isdnutils/FAQ/en-i4l-faq.html.

I think the web access is also include but not as an extra module.
But linuxconf on Debian is not as stable as on other systems and not all 
modules are
working.
Install it and read the readme for the not working modules.

I think squid allows to lock some domains.
open /etc/squid.conf and edd some lines...

acl FILTER1 somedomain.com anotherdomain.net
http_access deny FILTER1

The best would be to look in /etc/squid.conf because there are many examples 
and good
comments how to set up.

rsync and squid

1999-12-10 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi,

I'm using squid on a internet gateway and want to use apt-move that requires
rsync to download and update the local mirror.
I had set the environment variable hhtp_proxy for apt-get and other tools.
How can I use rsync with my squid proxy?

Does anyone has an idea??

Hi,

I just ran dselect and selected gmc and gnome-panel and so on... I'm using
IceWM-GNOME and everything is fine...
Only the problem with the icons...

I think gmc needs GNOME...
My configuration is not very special... just standard installation ;-)

PHP3 String functions not available

1999-12-05 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi!

I have installed PHP3 as cgi- and apache-module on an slink-based machine. I
also have installed some PHP-modules (mysql and imap). When I try to call a
string function (strip_tags) I get an error message in my browser window: call
to unsupported function...
It seems to be that this module is not available but in dselect there are only
PHP3 modules that supports database or graphics functions. How can I use the
string functions??

Thanks for your help...

Bye,

Sven

Re: staroffice , potato , unrecoverable error

1999-11-28 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi!

I installed Star Office 5.1 in the /opt directory as root with the setup option 
/net.

Then I ran setup as normal user from the /opt/ directory and the
setup program installed basic files in my home directory.
That's all, no problems under potato with 2.2.11.

Did you install the files in your home directory or did you run soffice 
directly from
your installation directory??

Bye,

Sven

LPD Problem _SOLVED_

1999-11-27 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi!

I made a bad mistake... ;-)

There was an error in the bind configuration.
The reverse-entry for the name server was wrong, forget the address type IN.

The entry to allow only local users printing from remote computers was correct.
:rs#1:\

LPD Problem

1999-11-26 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi!

I have a problem with the LP Daemon.
On my server I'm running slink with proposed-updates. On the other machine runs
potato.
I generated on my server a /etc/printcap by the installation script for
apsfilter (running on both machines).
I added to each printer entry the line
:rs#1:\

On my client I modified the remote printer entry. That's all.

My problem is now: I can start the daemon by /etc/init.d/lpd start. But I can
not print. When I call /etc/init.d/lpd restart on the console it says
Stopping line printer daemon: lpd not running.
Starting line printer daemon: lpd.

But the daemon still does not run.

Can anybody help me?

Bye,

Sven


apt-get, slink & ipchains

1999-10-29 Thread Sven Gaerner
Hi!

I'm using 2 computers with Debian 2.1, one is a internet gateway with
masquerading and isdn dialup connection. The other machine is my workstation.
I'm also using squid on the gateway.
I can update my gateway with apt-get ... When I tried this with my workstation I
can see in iptraf that the apt-get program wants to connect (SYN-bit) but that's
all, there's no response.

MASQ is from localnet to anywhere
Connections to port 20,21,80 and above 1024 are also allowed.

Has anyone an idea?
