Hi Glenn! What needs to happen for this to work, is that you need to have the 'A' record for 'debian.atomcam.com' pointed to the ip of the machine in question, in your DNS configs =) I'm doing the same thing with a new domain I registered through Dotster (who does user-controlled DNS hosting for an extra $10/year) - I don't have 'www' defined yet, nor do I have an 'MX' record (still negotiating the hosting details) - but the 'A' records I set up for my laptop and desktop machine are working beautifully. I'd get in contact with whomever does your DNS hosting, and ask them to add the record for you - it shouldn't be a big deal in most cases. Then, once you have name resolution, set up sendmail/exim on that machine to report 'atomcam.com' as the domain, rather than 'localdomain'. (someone posted yesterday with how to do this in exim) Hopefully this will help! -b3

Glenn Becker wrote: > i'm at such a low level with this stuff that i am unclear on what DNS > hosting 'really is.' :-) sometimes i don't know how i do anything ... LOL - it's OK - we were all there once. Basically a DNS server converts 'machinename.domainname.tld' into an ip address. They're basically an intermediary between the computer (that only wants to deal with ips) and you (who probably finds it easier to remember www.atomcam.com than an ip address). Now - someone is hosting your DNS services for atomcam.com - from the whois database, I get the following: [ rest of whois query snipped for brevity ] Domain servers in listed order: NS1.WARPED.NET 207.126.104.14 NS2.WARPED.NET 209.249.126.8 NS3.WARPED.NET 208.62.64.130 NS4.WARPED.NET 209.249.76.200 So it looks like Warped.net is doing your DNS hosting, as well as the web hosting you mentioned earlier. So, they're the ones you'd want to get in contact with about adding the 'A' record for your new machine =) Depending on their policies, they may or may not charge you for this - you'll have to check with them on that. > and i also find myself wondering about the apache setup i currently have > running (mostly for the sake of future experimentation - i haven't done > anything with it yet)... under the setup you describe, would it have a > non-numeric address for the outside world? it couldn't be www.atomcam.com > because that's the wife's site! The short answer is yes. The long answer is that once your machine has an 'A' record associated with its ip address, anything that currently works by ip (like web/ftp/telnet/ssh/etc...) will work with the name you've given it in the 'A' record (what you tell the machine itself it's hostname is really doesn't matter, except locally). So, if you have them set up an 'A' record for 'debian.atomcam.com', then when you put http://debian.atomcam.com into your web browser, it should try to connect to apache on your machine =) The same goes for other services like ftp or telnet. > typing in the numeric ip or localhost gets me to the default page fine, of > course. maybe i need to read up on DNS ... :-S Not a bad idea - although the documention can get a bit confusing, so be forewarned =) -b3 > At 11:07am on Fri, 9 Feb 2001, b3 wrote: > > > What needs to happen for this to work, is that you need to have the 'A' > > record for 'debian.atomcam.com' pointed to the ip of the machine in > > question, in your DNS configs =) I'm doing the same thing with a new > > domain I registered through Dotster (who does user-controlled DNS > > hosting for an extra $10/year) - I don't have 'www' defined yet, nor do > > I have an 'MX' record (still negotiating the hosting details) - but the > > 'A' records I set up for my laptop and desktop machine are working > > beautifully. > > > > I'd get in contact with whomever does your DNS hosting, and ask them to > > add the record for you - it shouldn't be a big deal in most cases. > > > > Then, once you have name resolution, set up sendmail/exim on that > > machine to report 'atomcam.com' as the domain, rather than > > 'localdomain'.

No ISOs (yet) - probably won't be any until Woody is frozen... Easiest way (if you've got a good 'net connection) would be to change 'stable' to 'woody' (or 'testing' - they point the same place) in your /etc/apt/sources.list, then do a apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade to get everything upgraded.

Re: Push mirror?
Hmm...Have you considered running an IMAP server on the work machine? It seems to me that would solve most of your problems, as you could then connect in from home, and see the same mailboxes and such.

Re: Debian or Linux 7???
Hi Steve! The kernel being used isn't really the biggest concern when it comes to security - the ammount of access you allow the outside world is. Any distribution would be rock-stable, if it was disconnected entirely from the network. For most of us, however, that's not an option. ::grin:: So...there are two main things you can do to limit your chances of getting "hacked": 1 - stay on top of security updates - Debian makes this REALLY easy, as long as you have the security update server in your apt sources.list. It doesn't hurt to subscribe to a couple security-related mailing lists either =) 2 - learn how to configure your system to be more secure - Chances are you don't need, or can replace, a lot of the services that you're running. Close off ports using ipchains, shut down inetd services you don't need, and replace things like telnet with ssh =) If you work someplace with a good sysadmin, schedule some time to sit down with him/her and discuss security - you'll learn a LOT. If you follow these 2 steps, you can be assured of a reasonable secure system, no matter which distribution you choose. We're a bit biased around here towards Debian, for a variety of reasons - but you should expect that from a Debian mailing list ;) By no means is this an exhaustive summary of system security, but it's what I live by =) -b3 On Mon, Feb 19, 2001 at 06:11:55PM -0500, Steve Rudd wrote: > I am considering joining the debian family, but am a bit concerned about > security. > Just how much more secure is Debian than redhat?
Re: Push mirror?
I don't have too much experience with different IMAP servers -- haven't had
the need to "shop around" as yet =)
I run imapd, which I installed on my potato box with 'apt-get install imapd'
- right out of the box it worked just fine, no configuration required =)
Considering that I have it running on a p120 with 32 megs of ram, and it's
fairly snappy, I would assume that performance would be pretty good.
(although if there's an alternative that works better, I'd love to hear
about it)
Mutt isn't too tough to set up with IMAP - took me about a half hour to hunt
up the required settings. I'd imagine most IMAP clients will have a similar
setup - basically instead of /var/spool/mail/username for the spool, you'd
use {your.server.net}INBOX for the spool, and instead of ~/mail or ~/Mail
for the folder path, you'd use {your.server.net}mail
If you have any trouble setting it up, drop me a line. I don't mind helping
out =)

Hmm...I use Mutt myself (which is in stable, I think) and it works fine. Netscape 4 has IMAP support in its mail client, as does Mozilla. Both have worked well for me in the past (I switched to Mutt for simplicity and the ability to run on a terminal =) ) Pine is another popular choice, but I haven't gotten it to compile under Debian yet (gives weird errors...) I've played around with evolution, and I like it, but it's definitely not ready fo primetime just yet.

Re: Mozilla instability - followup
Hi Glenn! You might want to check in the menu config files for your various windowmanagers and see if they are passing some kind of strange arguments to Mozilla that you may not have been passing on the command line. (some windowmanagers seem to have some REALLY strange ideas about passing arguments to certain programs...) I believe the default menus for Debian are in /etc/menu/ (various files from there - they're fairly easy to understand, IIRC) If no weird arguments are being passed, there may be an enviroment variable issue, although I'm not exactly sure which ones Mozilla cares about. What build of Mozilla are you using? You might consider switching to the nightlies, if your'e still running .8 -- they seem MUCH faster and a bit more stable on my system (YMMV, of course ;) ) The nightly builds can be obtained through: http://www.mozillazine.org (fetchbuilds link on the right) or, more simply by ftp: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/ -b3 On Sat, Feb 24, 2001 at 10:46:22PM -0500, Glenn Becker wrote: > > I thought it might be a good idea to see if I could get an error output > for this problem, so tried firing up Mozilla from the command line - to my > surprise, the browser worked fine when invoked this way!

Re: X-WINDOW-MANAGER
Generally, I just create a .xsession file in my home directory to start whichever windowmanager I want. You basically just exec [wm command], like this: exec wmaker # (for WindowMaker) - or - exec blackbox # (for Blackbox) - or - exec startkde # (for KDE) etc... You can also setup startup programs in .xsession - just put them before the exec line. This is handy for starting dockapps and such under wmaker/blackbox. I admit, I haven't played around much with the update-alternatives command - haven't had much need, as the above works well for me =) Switching window managers is as easy as editing the exec line to point at the new one. Perhaps someone more familiar with update-alternatives could comment on the lockup issue? IIRC, .bashrc is executed by non-login shells, and .bash_profile is executed by login shells (confirmation anyone?) -- is it possible that you're starting a login shell (and this executing .bash_profile, and ignoring .bashrc)? I believe some other distros actually do a check in .bash_profile for the existance of .bashrc, and execute it if it's found. Just checked my .bash_profile - no such command there - so I don't think debian does that (I'm a relatively new (2 months) convert to debian, so I'm still getting my sealegs ;) ) Hopefully this helps =) -b3 On Thu, Mar 01, 2001 at 08:09:40AM -0800, D.

(as root)
1) edit /etc/apt/sources.list, replacing "stable" with "testing" ("woody"
will work for most mirrors too)
2) apt-get update (updates the package lists)
3) cross fingers (optional, but it seems to help ;) )
4) apt-get dist-upgrade (performs the upgrade)
The biggest gotcha seems to be with X - if you have a laptop or other
non-standard video card - be prepared to do some tweaking to get Xfree 4 up
and running (it's generally not too tough - running xf86config generally
does wonders as long as you know your hardware well).

Correct - if you track by distribution name (slink, potato, woody, sid, etc...) you'll stay with that particular distribution. If you track by the meta-name (for lack of a better term ;) ) (stable, testing, unstable) you'll get the upgrade to the next step up when they switch.

Hmm...just a hunch... apt-get install xinit =) I remember having to do this was well, but in my case it was a case of not having installed X at all until after I'd made the jump to sid. Somehow, xinit missed out on the initial apt-getting of XFree 4.0.2 (probably my own fault). I could be wrong, and it could be an entirely different issue in your case though =) -b3

If you're not sure, the following might help: - If you're also running Windows, what does it identify the card as? - running lspci *may* shed some insight if all else fails 2) Is it detected at startup? - 'dmesg | grep eth0' will probably tell you if it is. 3) (if it *IS* detected at startup) What does /sbin/ifconfig say about the card? 4) What kind of network are you on? (Cable modem, DSL, LAN, etc... Basically we need to know what protocol you use to get your network configs (dhcp, bootp, etc...) or if you have a static config) Basically, if the card isn't detected at startup, it means that you'll need to search out drivers for it, or possibly recompile the kernel. If it is detected at startup, and it shows up in ifconfig, it's just a matter of getting your network settings in there. /etc/network/interfaces is your friend =) The type of network you're on will determine what settings you need to put in there. -b3

My solution would be to create a ~/.xsession file, and put in the line: exec wmaker ...then restart X and see what you get. AFAIK, .xinitrc only works when you're starting x from the console (IE: 'startx'), whereas xdm/kdm/gdm use .xsession (actually, .xsession works for me from 'startx' as well...) -b3 On Wed, Apr 11, 2001 at 01:49:40PM +0100, Wayne Brown wrote: > Hi, > I have installed Debian 2.2.r2 ok.

I agree - although from a pure usability perspective, an editor *should* be workable without the mouse at all. By definition, while using an editor, your hands will naturally be on the keyboard. Having to move your hand from the keyboard to the mouse should be unnecessary to accomplish any given task. However, if someone wants to use the mouse for something, I don't think that should be denied - as long as a keyboard-based alternative exists. > Sorry to have upset you. Scrollbars belong on the left. ;-) How so? I'm interested in hearing the usability basis for this. Not that I disagree - but it seems more "natural" for me to have a scrollbar on the right-hand side of the window. I do recognize, however, that many "older" *nix apps (emacs, xterm, etc...) default to having the scrollbar on the left. I'm just curious as to the reasons behind it =) -b3
Re: To sid or not to sid?
I've done it a number of times on various machines without any major issues. The biggest things are XFree86 changing versions, and the fact that any given day, at any given time, some of the packages *may* be broken (hence: unstable ;) ) Suprisingly (at least to me) unstable seems to be MORE stable at any given time than testing, which can drop key packages seemingly at the drop of a hat (it's a side-effect of how testing works...) If you're confident that your video card is well supported under XFree86 4.x, and that you can configure it, I say go for it. Just make sure to stay on top of what's broken and such (this list helps) before you do a dist-upgrade (and learn how to submit meaningful bug reports). If the idea of upgrading a few packages, only to find out you can't get into X anymore (or can't dialup, or can't run program xyzzy, or whatever) scares the bejeezus out of you (and it should!) you may want to consider staying with stable. Of course, the bleeding edge is the only way for me =) -b3 On Wed, Apr 18, 2001 at 12:22:50PM -0500, Jorge Santos wrote: > > I'm thinking on upgrading my work machine to sid, but I need to get > *some* work done, so I can't afford too much trouble.

Re: Consoles inaccessible w/ Ctl-Alt-FN
Jumping in here with a longshot (especially considering I only got 3 hrs sleep last night - treat this advice accordingly) With the fact that it "locks" when doing C-M-F1 (and, I'm assuming, for any other F-key), I wonder if it's a problem with X switching to the framebuffer (if you're using a fb console...) I know mine takes about a 1/2 second to a second to "resync" to the console (Both running @ 1024x768, FB is vesa, X is 4.0.2 ati) While you're in the "locked" condition, is the terminal active (even though you can't see anything)? Try logging in blind and touching a file... touch XYZZY ...then switching back to X (C-M-F7) and seeing if the file is there... If it is, it's obviously a conflict between X and whatever console you're using -- if it's a framebuffer, try using the "normal" one (vga=normal in lilo.conf) and see if that helps. If you're using the normal one...I dunno. If you DON'T start X (IE: you don't go through x/k/gdm) can you switch terminals? If not, I don't think it's GNOME...might start looking into the console-* packages to see if there's anything amiss. -b3 On Mon, Apr 23, 2001 at 09:01:34AM +0100, Etienne Grossmann wrote: > According to 'xev', my 'alt' is 'Alt_L', which I would say is > ok.

Re: Selective mail download (was Re: Mail client)
Truthfully, I'm not sure - given that I use 2 email systems: Personal mail: I use fetchmail to pop the mail off the server, and procmail to filter it into various mailboxes. Work mail: We have an IMAP server setup - which is (sortof) like doing email like you would newsgroups - you download a message list, then select which message to view - that message is then downloaded. You can access the IMAP server from multiple clients, and always see the same inbox, whether you're using mutt, netscape, or whatever client you choose. POP, AFAIK, wasn't really meant to be used on a selective basis (although you can always tell it not to remove mail from the server) - rather, it was made to facilitate moving mail between a server and a client (note: i could be wrong, but that's how I've always perceived it). IMAP sounds like it would be better suited to the situation you're in - although I don't know if it's an option in your case. (some mail servers run both IMAP and POP - some only one or the other) If you have IMAP access to your mail, I'd suggest that. (it seems like the closest match to what you're looking for) Barring that, you may be able to set up fetchmail to only download emails under a certain size at home, and leave everything on the server - so that when you get to work, all the email would download, including the large ones your home client skipped over. Of course, it may be possible to do all this with mutt alone (it's extensible beyond my current understanding ;) ) perhaps someone in a similar setup will comment. Otherwise, Google would be a good place to start searching. -b3 On Tue, Apr 24, 2001 at 04:31:38PM +0100, Liam Ward wrote: > Do any of these mail readers allow selective download from a POP > server?

I've used two or three different *internal* > modems with Linux with no problems. There are plenty out there that will > work just fine. Speaking from personal experience, I find having a set of modem lights a godsend when trying to troubleshoot modem problems. There *are* programs which can emulate them for internal modems, but it's much easier to just HAVE the lights right there on the modem. External modems have the best chance of NOT being a winmodem (I haven't seen an external winmodem - do any exist?) - so a new buyer might be less likely to come home with a winmodem than if they went to CompUSA/BestBuy/wherever looking for an internal modem (I've noticed employees at these places are typically VERY clueless, and even had it suggested to me that a winmodem was "better" than a hardware modem because "it's made for Windows" (this after I'd already asked the guy about linux compatibility, just to see what his response would be ;P ). I used to do phone support for a dial-up ISP, so I can tell you with certainty that the problems people had with external modems were MUCH easier to troubleshoot than internal ones. (If only for the fact that we could ask "What kind of modem is it?" and get a MEANINGFUL response, rather than "It's in my computer", and the afore-mentioned diagnostic lights =) ) Internal modems can work well - especially if you know what you're doing. They can also be a pain in the arse, like most anything, if they don't work right. BUT I will grant you that an internal modem would generally be cheaper than a comparable external modem. I, too, have a couple old USR internal modems (pre-winmodem days) that can still work quite well. That doesn't mean that were I to buy a modem today that I would buy an internal... With broadband connections becoming more popular, however, I see the modem thing becoming less and less of an issue. Just my 2 cents =) -b3

Adding to xfs-xtt's config tells xfs-xtt about them. Adding to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 tells Xfree4 about them. > Does running xfs-xtt give a better look? I tried getting xfs-xtt up and running a while ago, without much success. It seemed (to me at least) that it didnt want to "play nice" with XFree4. Solved the problem by removing it entirely and letting xfs (the XFree4 font server) handle the truetype fonts. Works like a charm. The font output isn't too bad, but it looks REALLY nice under KDE 2.1.1 on my work machine (TNT2 vidcard, nv driver), although antialiasing slows X down quite a bit. On my laptop (ATI vidcard, ati driver) I can't get KDE's antialiasing to work at all - looks like the ati driver doesn't have AA support just yet. -b3

Re: PHP
Hi Keneth, The php3 and php3-mysql packages are for version 3 of php. The packages I mentioned are for version 4. If you want to use version 3, and NOT version 4, then you have the correct packages. If you want to upgrade to php4, install the ones I mentioned. I'm unfamiliar with the tweaks needed to activate the php3 packages, as I haven't installed them myself. I know the php4 packages pretty well, though =) There are basically 2 things you should have to do, to make sure that your apache install recognizes your version of php. The first is to make sure you're loading the php modules. In httpd.conf, look for a line resembling the following: LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so (this is the php4 module - yours might be libphp3.so or libphp.so) Make sure it's uncommented. Next, look for the following section: # For example, the PHP 3.x module (not part of the Apache # distribution - see http://www.php.net) will typically use: # #AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 #AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps # # And for PHP 4.x, use: # AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps (here I have the php4 entries uncommented, but you can see the php3 ones above it, commented out in my case. In your case you'll probably want the php3 ones active, and the php4 ones uncommented.) After making sure everything is correct, stop apache with: # /etc/init.d/apache stop Verify that it's indeed stopped (ps aux | grep apache) and restart it with: # /etc/init.d/apache start Now, in your apache docroot (default on Debian seems to be /var/www) make a file called phpinfo.php3 (or phpinfo.php if you upgrade to php4) containing the following: Save it, then bring it up in a browser with: http://localhost/phpinfo.php3 If all goes well, you should see the php information page, which can tell you all sorts of nifty things about your installation. If all doesn't go well, let us know what happens. -b3 On Thu, May 17, 2001 at 09:39:36AM +0800, Keneth wrote: > I found that PHP3 and PHP3-MYSQL installed in "DSELECT", should I remove > them and install the deb you mentioned? > > PIVO > > > > Very odd.

The install can be a bit tricky - make sure you run the installer first as root with /net, as this will do a "network install" - then switch to a normal user and run the installer to get the user stuff going. -b3 -- Brent Bourgoine[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Geek Code Version: 3.1 G d- s+:+ a- C$ UBL+++$> P+$>+++ L++$> E$>++ W+++$ N++ o?
