Re: find a command i have recently used in bash

Typing lsALT-P (or META-P) will get you only all the commands that begin with ls (eliminating such oddities as echo lst.txt). If somebody knows the precise bash equivalent of this, let me know. As I wrote yesterday you can define keys for history-search-backward and history-search-forward. A good placement for these commands are the PgUp/PgDown keys since M-p is already defined per default.

Re: Alternatives To NFS?
Charlie Grosvenor [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is there any alternative to NFS that I can use to mount my home directory on my server? If you have enough space on your client machines there are always the distributed filesystems: OpenAFS, CODA, Inter-Mezzo. They keep your filesystem on both ends of the mount. If you need something centralized like NFS you can use Samba instead of an NFS server and mount the homes via SMB. The better way would of course be to locate your special problem with NFS (did you try restricting NFS to version 2 or version 3?) rather than avoiding NFS completely. BTW: I remember that I had NFS lockups everytime I transferred huge files (several 100 Megabytes) between two machines with cheap network adaptors. Changing these adaptors to other (but also cheap) cards solved the problem.

I'm not shure if this works but I would give the normale recover for
ext2 a try. Before using it you should umount the partition. And in
the meantime you should use the partition read-only to get a chance
that the deleted inodes aren't assigned to new files.
You can setup some kind of Trashcan yourself. Make a directory on your
system somewhere and make an alias for rm:
alias rm = 'mv ? /tmp/Trashcan'
alias rm = 'mv --backup=numbered --target-directory=/tmp/Trashcan'
If you want to use a parameter within aliases, you have to use
functions instead:
function rm { mv $* /tmp/Trashcan }
Obviously, all this only works in Bourne Shell derivates like bash.
If you are on a multiuser system, you definitely have to write a
script, which moves the deleted files into subdirs in the Trashcan
which are unreadable by other users.
alias rm = 'mkdir -m 0700 -p /tmp/Trashcan/$USER \
mv --backup=numbered --target-directory=/tmp/Trashcan/$USER'

Re: Passwordless connection to ssh-nonfree 1.2.27
Noah Meyerhans [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Creating an SSH key with a blank passphrase is *absolutely* the wrong way to go about this. Yes, it will work, but if anybody ever manages to get their hands on the private key, they've got access to your account on the remote machine. Passphrase protected keys can still be used for passwordless authentication. Please read the docs on ssh-agent and ssh-add. This works for interactive use. But it doesn't fit the needs of cron jobs. OK, you *can* use ssh-agent withing cron jobs, but you give up more security than you gain using such a hack. So if you need an ssh connection within a cron job using a blank passphrase is absolutely the right way. *But* you should be careful regarding some points: 1. Whenever possible use a separate sandbox user on the remote site for these jobs. If someone steals your key he will get full access to this user and nothing else. 2. If you use this connection from one or a few source hosts only, use the option from= in the authorized_keys file on the remote host. This will restrict access to this user to connections originating from the sources defined here. 3. If you run one or a few commands only on the remote host, use the option command= in the authorized_keys file on the remote host. If this option is given the value will be the only command executed on login, also if you try to give a command on the ssh command line. If you need more than one command on the remote host you have to use multiple keys, one for each command. Or just write a shell script containing all commands and use that as a command. A combination of all these methods should give you reasonable security for giving remote access to cron jobs.

Re: Backup of debian
Al Nikolov [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: So, I thought to take the information about the running system from the file /var/lib/dpkg/status, and just backing up those files deviating from the packages default-configs (the full files, no diffs). Additionally, /home gets backed up, perhaps some exclusions, IMHO, the debian policy permits a simplest option: just do a backup of /etc with following symlinks. This *should* be OK. But to be shure I would go one step further. # Backing up config files: cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.conffiles | xargs tar czf /backup/config.tgz # Backing up all files *not* included in debian packages: cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list | sort /tmp/tmplist.debian find / -xdev -type f | sort /tmp/tmplist.reallife comm -13 /tmp/tmplist.debian /tmp/tmplist.reallife | \ xargs tar czf /backup/additions.tgz # Backing up all packaged but changed files: cd / cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.md5sums | \ LANG=en_US md5sum -c 21 | cut -d\' -f2 | \ xargs tar czf /backup/changed.tgz The above commands are just written thoughts. I havn't actually tested them, so maybe one have to fiddle a bit to get them working. For example, the find call in the second part needs to be modified to include the desired filesystems. To be concrete, chances are high that you will destroy your computer and kill your relatives by running the above commands. You have been warned.

Re: Debian as multimedia system - startup and shutdown
Meir Kriheli [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is there a way to log in and start a X session (I prefer not to use KDM/GDM etc. I know I can use them-at least KDM), and when exiting the session shutdown the machine ? Maybe you want a system that logs you on when switched on and powers down on logout? You may be able to build it like this (untested, check man pages): Install rungetty and configure it to start an X session for your user instead of running login. Then configure your X session to run sudo shutdown -h now after the window manager. You could do this in /etc/X11/Xsession but there should be a better place for it. If you want to have the ability to switch the system off by pressing a button on the case you have to work on the hardware. One solution for those having a game port but no use for it is to stick the wires of the reset switch into button1 of the game port, install jslaunch and configure shutdown -h now as an action for a single press of button1. There should be equivalent solutions for other ports like the serial port - as I think about it, it could be possible to configure a UPS monitor program like upsd to recognize the button press as a signal to shut down the machine since many UPS devices signal a power lossage via a status line of a serial port. So this should be nearly plugplay. :-) [x] ulf -- Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity.
Re: apache 1.3.9/stable
Jens Gecius [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: does anybody have a clue regarding user-authorization in apache-stable? I would do everything for a look into your Bilderalbum. ;-) I'm trying pretty hard to get it to work on my box, but it just doesn't work. Not with access.conf entries nor with .htaccess files. Did you set AllowOverride to allow this from .htaccess files? For access.conf, my first guess would be another conflicting Directory or Location section for the said directory floating around in your apache configuration. AuthName Bilderalbum AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /etc/apache/htpasswd require valid-user Of course, the entries in htpasswd are generated using htpasswd. You should nevertheless check the contents of /etc/apache/htpasswd, there has to be a line starting with xxx: (I would really like to know which kind of pix you have for a user called xxx). To check if the above statement is effective you can temporarily replace it by this one: Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from localhost Then give it a try with `lynx --dump http://localhost/...` and check your logs again.

Re: filename completion with nfs
Richard Froehning [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have troubles using filename completion on nfs-mounted filesystems with woody. It generally works. But it seems some dirs are not seen... . The directories are working and I can use them. But a cd (with using TAB with bash) does not work. Maybe the NFS server is an SGI or similar and with TAB you see everything except exactly the last directory entry? If your answer is yes then your problem is the relatively new function getdents64(). It occures not only within the bash but also in mc, every Gnome program, etc. There is a special parameter for compiling packages in a way that they are able to handle the high directory indexes (I think that's the key problem) that are given by some NFS servers. It don't do any harm to the packages. Bad thing is I forgot which parameter it was - but if this is your problem I will recall it. I tried compiling programs using the above parameter and it worked, but since it's no fun to recompile a whole installation I simply stick with kernel 2.2 on the production hosts.
