Win2k LDAP and Linux oh my!
Alright bear with me on this one while I explain what i want to do: Currently we have a Win2K domain (running Active Directory), also were using the better things in life like Debian for our email and etc. In the future were looking at installing a better firewall that has VPN support, and according to the company selling us the firewall we can use LDAP to authenticate users. Right now as it goes I have to setup the user on the Win2K server, then on the email server. Then in the future im going to have to also add them to the firewall. Remote sites which i will be controlling are going to be the same way. Plus right now we do not have any email address lists since were using outlook, well short of the users address book. So with that in mind we wouldnt mind seeing the other important information for the person besides there email address like there phone number and etc pull up in Outlook. Okay with all this in mind, im thinking LDAP is my answer to all of these problems. I should be able to setup everyone in LDAP and then LDAP will propogate all this information to the linux box, the firewall, the WIN2K server and also let my users query for addresses and information like that. Or maybe I would input the information into Win2K box and the LDAP server would pass it around...none the less something has to be in place to connect these several different devices on the network, soon to be networks! Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom
XENIX Supported?
I am trying to get some info off a XENIX drive and for some reason it just aint working. Now I have heard conflicting reports that the XENIX or SysV file support is only supported by floppies and not hard drives, but then i read where people have simply compiled in the file system and presto they got info off a hard drive. Here is a copy of what is going on and what i have tried: Well what i did was compiled into the kernel the System V file support(sysv), plus i compiled in everything else i could find in way of filesystems, and then tried to mount the drive. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 969 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 848 3419104+ 83 Linux native /dev/hda2 849 969 487872 5 Extended /dev/hda5 849 969 487840+ 82 Linux swap Disk /dev/hdd: 15 heads, 56 sectors, 989 cylinders Units = cylinders of 840 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdd4 * 1 988 414932 2 XENIX root [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mount /dev/hdd4 /mnt -t sysv mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd4, or too many mounted file systems Okay so the fdisk -l shows that its finding the drive, but the mount isnt working, maybe i have the mounting wrong? This comes from /proc/filesystems(which im under the impression that if its in this file then its built into the kernel): ext2 minix umsdos msdos vfat nodev proc nodev nfs xenix sysv coherent nodev devpts (hey i just noticed the coherent and xenix in there let me try those, but i never did see those to be able to build them into the kernel so I used SysV since supposedly there the same) Here are the results of that idea: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc# mount /dev/hdd4 /mnt -t xenix mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd4, or too many mounted file systems [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc# mount /dev/hdd4 /mnt -t coherent mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd4, or too many mounted file systems A little more info about the box its on: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# uname -a Linux dsl25 2.2.16 #4 Tue Feb 6 00:13:49 CST 2001 i586 unknown Okay I gotta be messing up the mount command or the drive is toast..any ideas? I was on IRC and someone told me when i do the -t to remove the space, well i tried that and get the same error messages. Another idea is that maybe i should go back to a earlier kernel maybe the support for the file system as better in previous version of the kernel? Wondering what that will do to the box and if its even worth it, never gone backwards on a kernel just forward.any clues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom
PuTTy and SSH Question
Friday i was trying to get PSCP to work, which i had never used before, and it wouldnt so since it was Friday i gave up for the day. So today im logging into the box and this is the error im getting: Incorrect MAC received on packet This comes from Putty and actualy the first time i logged in the computer acted like i didnt have the right key, then it cached the key, then it wouldnt let me in. So then i erased the file under c:\windows and it cached the key again, and now im getting the Incorrect MAC received on packet? thing...any clues? I havent changed the IP or the NIC so im not sure what is going on...Any ideas? Thanks for the help! Tom
Squid problems
I have a squid proxy server that wont go to a specific site. The site its not going to is www.quill.com and i am sure that the only problem is the squid because I can get to it without going through the proxy server. Anyone have any ideas on why this wouldnt be working? What happens on the users side of things is the site never comes up and it locks the browser up. I tried using a ACL and telling it to allow the site direct contact...but that didnt work either. I am not seeing anything in the squid logs saying access denied or anything, so im not sure what is wrong. Any insight of what im missing here would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom
RE: Sendmail and Virtual Domains
Alright finaly i figured it out... I had astcorp.com in the from field in my rules so even though it was suppost to overide that, for some reason it did not. Tom -Original Message- From: Tom Warfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 23, 2000 10:36 PM To: Debian Users Group (E-mail) Subject: Sendmail and Virtual Domains Okay i thought at first, hey this looks easyso hrmmm why the heck aint it working :) Here is what is going on. I have a virtual domain that i want my astcorp.com server to host the email for. So with that in mind I have it working properly, well at least somewhat properly. If you send a email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the astcorp.com email server forwards the email to my hotmail account, so that part is working properly. Only thing is that the to field when i receive the email will say [EMAIL PROTECTED] With that in mind, is there anyone out there who has a idea how to fix this?

APC 1400 and SNMP Card
Okay i know that with the serial cable and the winblows software you can get the ambient temperature of the room that the UPS is in. Is this possible through the SNMP card to get the room temperature using the APC Smart1400 and if so then how can you do it in Linux? Thanks, Tom
Forwarding sent email-
I know that procmail can go through and forward someones email to them at another address while it still delivers it to there email box. But i am wanting to do the same on outgoing as well. Once someone sends out a email i want it to forward a copy of that outgoing email to another email address, preferable without them knowing about it. Any ideas?. Tom
emails wont send out-
We have clients using Outlook (yes i know what losers) and were running sendmail on debian. Okay so this is the problem, when they send a email in Outlook to a email address (for example [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Outlook wont let them send it out. Its not the message or anything like that because if i change the address to something else the message goes, so its specificaly the address. Outlook connects to the server then it just sits there. Im thinking Sendmail doesnt like it for some reason and i cant figure out why...anyone have any ideas. Thanks, Tom

RE: Two modems
Its called Multi PPP. I am working on doing the same thing and have been told by several people that it can be done. Here are dome links; http://mp.mansol.net.au http://www.xteamlinux.com.cn/lxr/source/Documentation/networking/eql.txt http://linux-mp.terz.de/ There are some posting on FreshMeat.net that rate these. I guess it appears that there are a few ways to do it. I will be trying to accomplish this within the next month so that i can use dual from my house. If you find anything that is usefull please let me know. I am a newbie and im still trying to decide what is the best way to accomplish this.

I have a Iomega DITTO Drive with the Ditto Dash XJ (Card isnt plugn pray. its jumpered). Wondering if anyone has ever gotten this thing to work on Linux. Its a piece of junk and i dont recommend it to anyone, but i have it left over so im wondering if i can get it to work on Linux. Thanks, Tom W.
Multilink PPP
Alright I know that its out there. I just have to find it. I tried Freshmeat but didnt see it there even though someone i know picked it up like two months ago from thereunfortuanely he didnt bookmark it so know i have no idea where to find it even though i need to get it for a project out there. For those of you wondering what Multilink PPP is: It's a way of bonding 2 or more serial PPP connections for more speed. Currently, Microsoft products have support for MPP in the dialer. Linux has it in the kernel, but for ISDN, not analog modems. That came from the friend who use ot know where it was at. Anyone have any ideas or know where i can find it at? Thanks, Tom W.
3COM Drivers-
Anyone know where i can find a driver for the 3COM 575BT card? I called 3COM and they said to try a site that wasnt maintained by them.

Casper the Ghost has taken over my SendMail
Were running sendmail on a Debian box. Every know and again I get this message: This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software. If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created with the data reset to initial values. Where is this coming from and how do i get it to stop sending this. And if we keep deleting it will this mess anything up? Im not sure at all why were getting this message, but its anoying because i have people calling me asking me what is this and can i delete it? I have one guy in the office who has been here like two years that has every single one of them in his email folder which i find this kinda funny. You know actualy im thining with our virtual office we are running TWIG, and im thinking that this is happening because of something TWIG is doing. Im new to linux so im not sure...can anyone help me out here? ---Tom
RE: New Guy questions
Jason im in the same boat as you. I have just began to learn within the last few weeks so I understand the information overload you are going through. This link is to ZDTV and they take you through a video install of a Linux box. Kinda cool, and is very basic. http://ecn.www.ecn.purdue.edu/ECN/Documents/VI/ Something else i would recommend you go buy is the Linux for Dummies book. Lots of great stuff in there that is very basic and can be helpfull. Then after your feel comfortable and want to get more acquated with Debian itself you might want to get the new Oreilly book(the ones with the animals on them) for Debian. You can read about it on the Debian.Org webpage. I never used IRC before, but there is a lot of good help out there in these chat rooms for Linux. you might want to go to the irc.debian.org server and choose the #linuxhelp room. There is a #debian room but most of the people there are snobs and wont answer basic questions, they want more serious in depth problems. I would recommend you check out a site at Purdue university. http://ecn.www.ecn.purdue.edu/ECN/Documents/VI/ , This one is a class for Vi, and its free. Very basic, but i have been told by more then one person that its probably the number one editor for Unix/Linux that you will need to know for sure if your going to be doing anything like editing config files. And of course the pages on Debian.Org can be helpfull as well, but I found these sources more helpfull then the debian pages were. One of the first steps your going to want to learn in Debian is how to install the MAN pages. I would install those first and make sure they work. There very helpfull. ---Tom -Original Message- From: Jason Vormbaum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 1999 6:32 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: New Guy questions Hi, I am completely new to the Linux world.

Where does apt-get download the files from? Tom
Need some help with a Install.
Okay im very green. So green that the grass is jelous. So with that in mind here is my problems: I am trying to install a program called Qpage. Everything i have comments about is in <> brackets. After downloading it, here are the instructions that are given that i dont understand (This is the complete instructions): Installation instructions for QuickPage v3.3: 1) Make sure you have the latest version. The latest version of QuickPage can be found at http://www.qpage.org/ 2) Edit config.input as appropriate and type "./configure" in this directory. 3) Type "make" to build the QuickPage binary, or type "make client" for a stripped down client-only version. 4) Install qpage and qpage.man in appropriate directories. 5) Create a run-time configuration file. See the man page for complete details on the syntax of the file. 6) Edit the appropriate system startup file to start a QuickPage daemon process when the system boots. Well thats it in a nutshell :) Am i lost? Yes, but im finding my way through the woods. Thanks in advance, Tom PS...Can I borrow a chainsaw? To find my way through the woods...not for the computer honestly :)
