pureftpd (testing) size breaks files under subdirs 2.1gbs
Pureftpd uploads a file within it's subdir. It starts the upload and creates .pureftpd files. Once it gets to 2.1GBs it does a size on the file under the dir. The dir has not been created by pureftpd. The dir is still a .pureftpd file. So pureftpd restarts the transfer and I get a bunch of .pureftpd files and no file in a sub dir greater than 2.1gbs. Is there an option I am not aware of here?

apache not finding virtual document root ver 1.3.26
Hello list, please reply to email in addition to list. I can't for the life of me figure out why apache won't serve/find the virtual document root and why /var/log/apache/error.log shows 'error file does not exist /usr/htdocs/' this use to work fine. lately i've been working with mail packages however this is the only thing I've modified on the server so why would apache forget it's serving virualhosts? I removed all mail packages, purged and re-added apache and have the same set-up running on another server without any problems at all. I even copied over its httpd.conf file to the not-working server and get the same errors. What would make apache want to look for /usr/anything for a document root? by default it's /var/www/. it's completely ignoring the vituralhost with and without the NameVirtualHost I've spent hours trying to work this out going through basic troubleshooting so i'm hoping someone can help me figure this out.

Hi list, Please respond to the email address in addition to the list. I just pulled this package down via apt-get upgrade on a testing machine though, on the stable boxes, after dselect update, dselect shows the 1.2.3 version for openssh as the most current. packages.debian.org seems to be a version behind as well. Assuming the package above is part of the stable branch and I wanted to upgrade it; how do I do this while leaving the rest of my current config the same?

Hi list, can you please clarify something for me-- this should be pretty straight forward so sorry if the question seems a bit lame. Can you please reply to the email in addition to the list since I'm not currently subscribed. I read this release http://www.debian.org/security/2002/dsa-134 and it says to upgrade to ssh 3.3p1 for woody and that the package for potato hasn't yet been compiled. On my stable boxes I ran apt-get update and it pulled down some patches from security though the only recent post for security updates is this one so was my open ssh from the potato branch updated proficiently or do I need to install this new version?

You really have two options: download the ssh source and compile it yourself, or wait until the potato update gets done.

RE: what causes this error [solved. thanks mysql list]
This was the error for the record. Thanks debian list. justin Okay, now the problem is clear. mysqladmin 3.23.37 uses backticks (`) around the database names (as you can see in the error message you quoted) to support special chars therein, but backticks for quoting column/table/database names where only intrudcued in 3.23.6, so the 3.22.32 server doesn't know about them and issues an syntax error. AFAICS, you have the following options: - type the commands yourself and don't use backticks (i.e. use the mysql client and issue a CREATE DATABASE test2) - upgrade the server to at least 3.23.6 (of course you would want a more recent release) - downgrade the mysqladmin client to the distribution of at most 3.23.5 (of course, you would rather want the latest 3.22.x client) - compile mysqladmin yourself and change the CREATE DATABASE statement accordingly -Original Message- From: dman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 7:06 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: what causes this error On Thu, May 30, 2002 at 01:26:24PM -0700, justin cunningham wrote: | mysqladmin: CREATE DATABASE failed; error: 'You have an error in your | SQL syntax near 'whateverunamethedatabase' How about including the offending SQL as well?

Dpkg says cron isn't installed; I can grab it with apt but 1. why is it missing 2. if the cron package wasn't installed why do I have cron directories? 3. if it was removed; can anyone propose a good reason for purging such a useful package? thanks, justin /etc/apache/cron.conf /etc/cron.d /etc/cron.d/mrtg /etc/cron.d/vpopmail-bin /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.daily/apache /etc/cron.daily/calendar /etc/cron.daily/find /etc/cron.daily/man-db /etc/cron.daily/modutils /etc/cron.daily/netbase /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd /etc/cron.weekly /etc/cron.weekly/man-db /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd /usr/bin/dh_installcron /usr/bin/ezmlm-cron /usr/share/doc/apache/examples/cron.conf /usr/share/doc/passwd/passwd.expire.cron.gz /usr/share/man/man1/dh_installcron.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/ezmlm-cron.1.gz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Agreed. It does require some higher privliages though. To run 'install', I think. Yes, this is commonly just to get uid 0 used in the filesystem tarball in the .deb. fakeroot is quite adequate for this. The only package I can think of that can't be built with fakeroot is boot-floppies (due to the way it generates an ext2 filesystem image), and perhaps you might run into some problems on some architectures where fakeroot is less reliable.

RE: advice-- a friend claims he's under attack
donno. His emails to me are kinda all over the map so it's hard to say. His latest email said the cause of it was qmail. his client has some community based email list around 40k a week. He sent it out and the server stopped sending local mail and isn't serving the site anymore. The explanation doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps this was caused by an ipchain throttling rule limiting the amount of concurrent connections? (there's going to be tons of dns lookups for 40k emails) but that shouldn't stop other services. I had him check all of his logs and he reports normal activity and no breakins.

RE: simple dpkg compile from source question
Thanks for the replies.
Package: qmailadmin_0.45-1_i386.deb built from qmailadmin-0.45.tar.gz.
Current build: qmailadmin-1.0.2.tar.gz
This was pulled down from apt source and built by a friend of mine last
year and is running on my mta. I've set up all other qmail/vpopmail
packages and they're running ok; qmailadmin is the last.
The trouble has been with the install script dropping qmailadmin into
/usr/local while the INSTALL directions specify /usr/local/share. I
don't think it'd break if I moved the folder over to share since it's
just html templates; the rest of the install paths look correct but
instead of hacking around with it; I'm waiting for an answer on a
compile error from inter7 (see below) in hopes of defining if this is
the one problem, or if there are others as well.
I noticed after trying to get this working a few times that my friend
compiled this from source since dpkg -l doesn't show the package-- he
forgot to mention that to me when he suggested I use his packages
instead of building my own.
This error could be caused by him building the package incorrectly
though I doubt it since he's pretty meticulous over his work and debian.
I could try rebuilding it. I'm wondering if I can use qmailadmin-1.0.2
with vpopmail 4.9.9-1. I'll post my findings if I get the deb package
working if anyone's interested.

RE: The latest round of antivirus bouncebacks

I've got 5 debian boxes here but read this list-mail from a windows laptop for lots of reasons e.g. easier to manage a ms lan with a res kit; need to test/debug applications for naive users and it's a lot easier figuring out problems with windows for users when you have to fix them on your own machine first;) I assume the list would tolerate the annoying messages for a while so long as you try to find a solution.

Will these two statements suffice or do I need to also list the packages installed and give them a Pin-Priority: 100 or; pursuant that I want an all woody box should I change the Pin-Priority of stable to 95? That way my woody packaging scheme will remain as-is and apt will get the desired packages from stable, only if it can't find them in testing.

php and ms access database advice
Hello, I've been searching for a solution and this link is the closest I've come (nicely done by the way) though was wondering if someone here had a more efficient execution to recommend. http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/siddarth2228.php3 Currently I have a few perl and php4 scripts writing data to text files i.e. name; email; option a; or b; or c; etc. I then pass the text files to clients who have been recording the data into ms access. Now they want me to set it up such that the same data can be written directly to an access.mdb. I can follow the walkthrough; build a .mdb file with access's odbc data source manager with the desired tables; create a user and pass to write the new records passed by odbc_exec () to the file. Then, when the client wants the data I can pull it down and pass it to them as an mdb instead of txt. It seems simple enough though has someone here done this? If so was there solution secure? I ask because the user referenced in the example is root. $cnx = odbc_connect( 'WebTute' , 'root', '' ); I'm not going to use root for this of course. I also didn't see a file path referenced so I'm suppose to drop the .mdb file in the same directory as the php files? Thanks for any advice on this.

re php4 php4-mysql install worries
Hello, I'm trying to verify php4 and php4-mysql were installed 'and' configured correctly but don't know how to 'verify' that's true. Below is an excerpt from /etc/php4/apache/php.ini which says In order for PHP to ; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current ; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable ; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order). Ok, 'but' the php.ini file was not created upon install-- the excerpt and file are from another server so is there a problem with the config. dpkg -l | grep php4 and php4-mysql show 'ii' as installed dpkg -s shows installed and configured properly. dpkg -reconfigure-php4 says 'not installed or not a deb conf package' I did have trouble installing the two packages together. I assumed this was because php4-mysql would naturally complain until php4 is set-up so the packages ended up with dpkg iU. Apt showed: Rotated `/etc/apache/httpd.conf' at Tue Mar 5 17:28:37 PST 2002.

Cut'n'paste from your terminal.
Conversely i can go into /site.com/cgi-bin then cat any.cgi | grep

One way:
find /path/to/cgi-bin -type f -exec grep '10.0.0.1' {} \;
(the {} and the \; are explained in the find manpage under the -exec

strange vi
Hi, I've s-l-o-w-l-y been building a woody machine in spare time and noticed that I can't use the arrow keys to get around in vi. Is this because the keyboard is misconfiged?

My laptops arrow keys work via ssh on lots of potato machines so, what gives? Regards, justin

RE: Emulate real ip's to access intranet hosts from outside
Hi, I didn't read the prior thread so this may be irrelevant but wouldn't this be accomplished by running bind locally and put those mappings in named and put the ip of the local machine with named as the primary dns and your real ns1 as the secondary. That way queries to bla at mydomain would go over the 192 subnet and queries to the internet would resolve via ns1. justin -Original Message- From: Ramon Acedo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 6:32 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Emulate real ip's to access intranet hosts from outside Hi again! Thanks for your quickly answers, I think I hadn't explained enough clearly in the first mail. The problem is the following: I have a SINGLE public ip with an associated domain. In that host I have a DNS server, mail server, web, etc. The important point is at the DNS. What i'd like to do is that the firewall forward all the packets independently of the destiny port, which can be any, to a host of the intranet with a private ip. The rule for decide which packets go to what host in the intranet is the name that the client refered to. Example: when I do a ftp to ftp.mydomain.net my DNS server would forward the request to the host 192.168.1.10. I'd like to have a map like this: ftp1.mydomain.net --- 192.168.1.10 ftp2.mydomain.net --- 192.168.1.50 www1.mydomain.net --- 192.168.1.12 www2.mydomain.net --- 192.168.1.33 and so on But Actually in the internet all that names lookup to 213.1.2.3 and of course the 192.168.x.x is never seen from the internet I know that apache can manage vhosts and I could redirect to a intranet host all the web traffic coming to www2.mydomain.org, the same can be done with wu-ftp or proftp where u can have multiple domains/dubdomains and have different ftp root directorys depending on the name the client used to contact it, and then I could set that roots pointing to nfs mounted directories of the internal net, but what I'd like is that all the traffic forward would depend on the name used by the client. As I said it's not a port forwarding matter it would be a program which could manage domain name vhosts and do some kind of bridging / forwarding to the intranet depending on the name the client reffered. So the idea is to emulate lots of real ips with just 1 public ip and 1 domain with all the subdomains I'd need. Uh! I hope to have been clear enough this time, my English is not perfect (I'm Spanish) so please let me know if u got the idea, ok? Thanks a lot guys!

snort question
Hi, I haven't used snort before and wanted to see where the incoming traffic to my external ip is coming from. Can I do this with a machine behind the router?

Is this possible or do I have to have the box before the router or should I just stick with tcpdump? Thanks for any suggestions, justin

First, check the device XX:YY against the list of device codes in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt. If it is incorrect, you probably didn't do an rdev -R, or you did it on the wrong image.

can't ping outside own network on ns1
Hi, I don't understand why I cant ping outside my own network on my primary nameserver. I called the isp and according to them there's no problem with connectivity (they always say that). I also have a web, mail and db server (all running potato) all of which I can reach the outside but not the primary nameserver. The only thing I've done recently on the servers is apt-get update but if I had a broken package I'd told me. Syslog shows normal activity. I also have apache running (I use as a dev space for the www sites) and there all reachable via http. I can get to the server via ssh (with some latency). Any ideas on the cause of this? Can: reach locahost, gateway, external ip, ips in same range via name and ip Can't: reach external sites like yahoo, provider's ns1 via ip nor apt source.lists Ps aux shows bind, apache, et al running. I edited resolv.conf and swapped nameservers with isp's= no change. My nameserver is the authoritative for the sites et al while the isp is the reverse lookup authoritative. Could they have misdocumented my ips ptr records for the reverse lookup? Thanks for any help on this, Justin

I've installed rescue, root, and 4 modules on laptop. Now, it prompts me for base floppies. I would prefer to dial up and finish that way. 1. Is it possible? 2.

RE: New user question
Hi, I'm new to debian too but not windows so: 1. Typically you'd want to install windows 'first' before linux to avoid lilo being blown away by the windows installer. 2. If your installing win 98 or me the fat32 is appropriate and optional in win2k but ntfs is its and xp's native filesystem AND primary fat partitions aren't recommended above 4 gigs. 3. I've been using dual os win linux on desktops and laptops for a while now and they're running fine-- just remember to read the instructions thoroughly on the lilo installer. justin -Original Message- From: kapil khosla [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2001 8:47 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: New user question Hi , I have installed Debian on my system and now want to install windows.

RE: which worm is this?
Helping friends out with computers is tough stuff-- support can become an endless topic therefore I suggest promoting self help 'first' then, if that fails ask questions. Anyways: 1. the 'virus': always look at http://www.symantec.com/avcenter. Use their search here http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html to quantify the problem (this should be a default response). They have a free web-based system scan too. 2. with web-based mail like aol or msn or whatever they provide means to block spam and filter porn mail. Point him to his account settings-- browsing email-- properties-- filters (or whatever comparable path). 3. aol isn't cheap.

He doesn't have any virus scan software, and I am in the process of obtaining some to scan his system.

I'm planning on using this box as a proxy for 6 other machines (combo of linux/98se). Linux docs has a few articles on this but I thought I'd come straight to the horses mouth to learn what might be best :-) 2 GB is a bit on the smallish side. If you're using it as a proxy, I'd probably set up /, /tmp, /usr, and /var as separate partitions. Depending on what proxy services you're offering, you might want to make /var the bulk of the partitions (squid, ferexample, dumps its cache there). My base suggestions are at: http://kmself.home.netcom.com/Linux/FAQs/partition.html I'd modify these as follows: /100 MB swap64 - 128 MB /tmp 50 MB /usr 300 - 600 MB /var1,200 - 1,400+ MB Note I'm not allocating /home, /boot, or /usr/local. Rationale: This is a server, /home isn't particularly needed. The gains of creating separate /boot and /usr/local partitions are also small (though a 16-24MB /boot partition wouldn't significantly cut into available storage). /usr needn't be too large, and limiting installed software likely increases system security. Providing ample storage to /var allows both for package updating (unless the archives are remotely hosted via NFS on another system in the network), and allows ample storage for caching proxies such as squid.
