 Michael, -w option dont make nc returns if a conection is already

 I've tried this: nc -l -p 5558 -c bash. And it works! I think the big
 probleam is that tail doesn't connect his input stream to the data
 provided by nc, so it doesn't get informed when the connection comes
 down. As you said, tail -f never returns. Bash returns, if required. But
 nc would kill the -c process when the connection doesn't exists
 anymore... it doesn't make sense keep it running.
 
 I'm going to try another solutions for what I want... maybe xinetd...
 
 Thanks Michael and you all.

If you want to just what's changed in the log file since the last time
you connected, look at the package logtail.

For example you might run this command:

while :; do nc -l -p 5558 -c logtail /var/log/syslog; done

This would have nc exit when it's done dumping /var/log/syslog and the
next time someone connects it should pick up where it left off.

It may be overkill, but you could look at the partimage package. Not
only can it copy a filesystem, but it can expand it too. You could also
use dd and copy each partition separately instead of the entire drive.
The tricky part would be the boot sector, but that can be easily rebuilt
by booting off a rescue cd, chrooting to the now-moved system and
re-running grub-install. Make sure you mount all of the filesystems like
/boot, /proc, etc.

 AFAIU -x will prevent rsync from touching /proc, /sys and /dev, but you
 will need the directories themselves to be present on the new root
 partition, so I think it is better to omit -x *if* the system you want
 to clone is *not* running.
 
 But wait - doesn't it copy the directories themselves, aka the mount points?

When copying systems with rsync I tend to use --exclude to prevent
/proc, /sys, etc. that way the mount points don't even need to be the
same on the target location. For example system a could have everything
in one / partition where system b has separate /boot, /usr, etc. if you
do the --exclude syntax right it'll even create the base dir and just
exclude everything under it.

   I am new to linux.  I have been running Etch for a month or so now on
 my Gateway Desktop.  I am considering moving up to testing.  This brings
 up the question of what is the proper way to accomplish the upgrade? 

I normally just change the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list to the new
distro. Then I run 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade'. You may have
to work out some individual package conflicts, but it's not bad.

I highly suggest you back up any important data before you do this.

 I do I force files to be overwritten in aptitude ?
 Like apt-get --purge remove package  apt-get install package, but
 in aptitude.
 Re-installing in aptitude doesn't overwrite modified files. Is there an
 option ?

This isn't in aptitude, but it might work...I'm excluding dpkg and apt
because they would be needed for the script. I'm POSITIVE there are more
you would need to exclude to make sure you don't break things. You
probably want to get a list of everything apt and dpkg depend on and
exclude those in the egrep section.

for pkg in `dpkg --get-selections|awk '{print $1}'| egrep -v
'(dpkg|apt)'`; do dpkg --force-all --purge $pkg; apt-get install $pkg; done

Make sure you backup what you can before you do the above script. I
haven't tested it and I'm sure it'll break stuff.

Re: ssh on lan by hostname instead of dynamic ip

2007-06-22 Thread Tod Detre
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

 Is there a way to use ssh and rsync using hostname instead of ip
 address. It seems to me I've had this working once or twice, but then
 it stops.

You could set up your dhcp server to talk to a dns server and do your
hostnames automatically, but it would require a lot of setup.

I think the easiest thing would be if you're machines are set up with
ipv6 and are on the same lan, just use the ipv6 local address. you can
get this by doing ifconfig and using the inet6 addr. It should start
with fe80. Yeah, ipv6 address are long and hard to remember, but you can
copy and paste and put it in your script. The address is based on the
MAC address of your card and so shouldn't change unless you change
hardware. Use ping6 to see if the machines can ping each other.

Try pinging it and/or traceroute ( traceroute -p 53 nameserverip ).

I'm not really sure. I haven't seen it myself, but they claim that thier ping
times (where quake2 ping times are 2 things put together. One the ping between
the server and the client. Two it adds simething with the frames per second)
get worse as the more clients join. This is understandable, but the amount in
which it worsens is greater per client in linux than in free-bsd and linux.
This was experimænted on using 12 clients with the same hardware. (ie they
installed linux on the server. played a bit. then wiped the dirive and
installed free-bsd. then NT)

I was thinking that it might be that they are using a netcard that has bwtter
drivers for NT/free-bsd than linux has.

 2. Switching to a better NIC like the Intel etherexpress pro/100+ to

 3. Moving to NT (assuming that network performance for Qaue2 is better
 with NT).
 
 My question to the list is the following:
 Has anyone done an exact comparison of NT to Linux for a Quake2 server.
  I'm very well versed in NT and have learned enough Linux to admin 2
 servers.  I'm quite familiar with Linux's advantages/disadvantages vs

ok I go the packages for kerberos 4, but when I try to install the user
one it complains that I don't have libcomerr2. I can't seem to find it
anywhere. Any ideas?

Upgrade problems

1998-06-27 Thread Tod Detre
Ok I upgraded to Hamm, but now dselevt is unhappy. It's probubly my config
error but I don't know what. When ever I try to install stuff it wants to
upgrade alot of stuff (expected it wants to put newer versions on.) but
when it trys to get the file it can't find them. I ftped myself to
ftp.debian.org and found the files where dselect was supposedly looking
for them. 

I'm using  ftp.debian.org
directory /debian/hamm
dists main non-free contrub

it gets the lists just fine, but can't get the files

Kerberos

1998-06-26 Thread Tod Detre
Does anyone know where I can get binaries/source for kerberos v4? I need 4
not 5 'cause 5 is not entirely backwards compatible.

VAXstation Linux

1998-06-25 Thread Tod Detre
Is there any plans to port Debian to VAXstations? I know there is a port
of NetBSD, but Debian would be so much cooler.

Printing

1998-06-19 Thread Tod Detre
I'm having problems printing. I have a laserjet compatible. I can get it
to work by running gs and having it directly output to /dev/lp1 so I know
the print/port is set up right, but when I try to use lpr I get nothing.
I'm using magicfilter and at this point I'm just trying to get postscript
to work. I've included a copy of my /etc/printcap and the configfile for
magicconfig. 

-- Printcap

# You can use the filter entries df, tf, cf, gf etc. for
# your own filters. See /etc/filter.ps, /etc/filter.pcl and
# the printcap(5) manual page for further details.
