No pasa nada :-)

Yo me di cuenta al ver el mismo correo¹ en otra lista que sigo; con eso y 
mi súper-olfato entrenado, pues lo detecté enseguida.

 Acá tenemos el ejemplo claro de:

a) Es un error al responder.

b) La costumbre adquirida de responder cualquier cosa que aparezca en la lista.

Si es b) esa es la razón de mantener, aplicar y respetar las normas de
la lista.  Se llama ORDEN.

Claramente me he equivocado. He ido con buena intención y al final
resulta que era spam.

Tomaré esto en cuenta para no responder a mensajes parecidos.

I forgot to tell you:

- I don't know if the people who work here work as a volunteers or has a
paid job. You should ask it.

- You should write in English to this address, not in Spanish:
listmas...@lists.debian.org

- Your attachment is corrupt, so it can be opened. I suggest you to
write your CV or resume in another format, such as ".doc" or
".odt" (Open Document Format, that is the standard format for texts in
Open Office or Libre Office).

If you want to add your resume or CV inside the body of your email, is
strongly recommended sending it in plain text format.

That's all.
Good luck.

Jorge Chaves.

That's the last email that I write, because I've found more mistakes in
my emails, sorry. It's possible that you as a native speaker find more
mistakes, but I won't correct them because I'm repeating unnecessary
messages.

Bye.

Re: Quick Question

[Jorge Chaves]

Hi Ozella,

Just two things:

1) If you want to look for a job here, I think that a better address
would be:

listmas...@lists.debian.org

2) This is a spanish mailing list, so you should write in Spanish.
Otherwise people might not understand you.

I hope I've been useful to you.

Greetings.
Jorge Chaves.

When you perform the installation action it will tell you exactly what
packages are being installed.  Look that list over carefully.  That
list is the list of packages that are being installed.  They will
either come from squeeze or they will come squeeze-backports.

If you say what package are you wanting to install from
squeeze-backports then we could tell you how to determine the list of
dependencies for it.

 I am still very much new in doing things on my server and I just got
 messed up and the techs had to new re-imaging of the server because
 I updated a package from sid.

Unstable Sid can be a brutal kid at times.  It is best to stick with
the production releases unless you know what you are doing and want to
spend the time to drive the system in detail.

Speaking of which Squeeze 6 is now the OldStable.  The current Stable
release is Wheezy 7.  You probably should consider upgrading to Wheezy
7 so as to get continued security upgrade support.

main will any other areas of my debian get modified?


I am still very much new in doing things on my server and I just got

How did you set a mark a?

sometimes some row at the beginning you might not plan to comment, it's not

It depends on which desktop environment you use

Start back at the list at step 4 or before and see where things work

Just a Quick Question

[RiverWind]

Hey There,

I used to be able to ssh from my shellworld account into my Linux
box before I got the latest version of the squeeze disk. I am not
able to do so now. Exactly what needs to be set up or in place in
order for me to once again be able to access my Linux box via ssh
or telnet from another site?

I need to be able to do this if I am going to be able to set up my
email so that it will work with Alpine. This is because I am much
more comfortable with using Jaws for DOS as apposed to using Orca's
speech package.

I really would need to know the entire procedure. After having a
more comfortable work environment, I will then be able to work more
freely with my Linux system, as I learn the os.

As always, thanks so much in advance.

cheerio,
Riv

1. Ensure that openssh-server is installed.

$ dpkg -l openssh-server
ii  openssh-server 1:5.8p1-7  secure shell (SSH) server ...

2. Ensure that sshd is listening on port 22.

$ netstat -na | grep '0.0.0.0:22'
tcp0  0 0.0.0.0:22  0.0.0.0:*LISTEN

3. Ensure that you can connect to the sshd port from the local host.
   Do this on the local host.

$ telnet localhost 22
...
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7
^]-- Use Control-] to escape
telnet quit  -- Then type quit to exit

4. Ensure that you can connect to the sshd port from the remote host.
   Do this from the remote host.

$ telnet yourlinuxhost 22
...same as above...  ...escape to command prompt and quit ...

   If that fails look for a firewall that is blocking the connection.

# less /var/log/kern.log

5. Ensure that you can ssh to the remote host.
   Do this on the remote host.

$ ssh yourlinuxhost

6. Increase debug level.  Use one or two -v's to increase verbosity.

$ ssh -v yourlinuxhost

7. Look in /var/log/auth.log on host to determine why sshd failed.

# less /var/log/auth.log

8. Start your own debugging version of sshd and see all messages
   inline.

# /usr/sbin/sshd -d -p    -- On the local host.
$ ssh -p  yourlinuxhost   -- On the remote host.

If any of the above steps fail then stop there and fix that part
before proceeding further.

They don't need to match (either in C or in C++). The function declarations
are more for verifying whether you are passing the right type of
arguments. The compilers do not check the names. In fact, you can even
omit the variable names altogether in the function declarations. For
example, the following code is completely valid.

#include iostream

using std::cout; using std::cin;
using std::endl;

double sum(const double , const double);

int main() {
double a, b, c;

cout  Enter two numbers  endl;
cin  a  b;
c = sum(a, b);

cout  a   +   b   =   c  endl;
return 0;
}

double sum(const double p, const double q) {
return(p+q);
}

You could have at least answered his question and then pointed to the
appropriate news group for future questions. Just pointing out the
newsgroup's name without giving any help is just wasting time of the OP and
that of archive readers.

I think that C++ or any programming related questions are appropriate on
this list. More advanced discussions (design issues, standard related
questions, suggestions for future revisions etc.,) would be more
appropriate on comp.lang.c++ . This list is to help users using Debian
system. If you can help, just help. Or else just leave it to others.

From the bash manpage under the Parameter Expansion section:

  ${parameter:+word}
  Use  Alternate  Value.   If parameter is null or
  unset, nothing is substituted, otherwise the
  expansion of word is substituted.

Basically, this is to show info about the current chroot you are in. This is 
useful for when you have various chroots (say for different debian 
versions, etc).

The value gets pulled from the environment, or from /etc/debian_chroot. See 
this part of /etc/bash.bashrc:
# set variable identifying the chroot you work in (used in the prompt below)
if [ -z $debian_chroot ]  [ -r /etc/debian_chroot ]; then

So, do you guys have any idea of what's going on?

At this time I would go with Sarge. Here are some reasons;
1. It's about to be released as Stable.
2. Stable in Debian mostly means unchanging. Security fixes are 
supplied, but you won't get any new technology during its life. The 
technology in Woody is creaking with age. You will get better hardware 
support in Sarge, newer and more capable Samba (for Windows file and 
print sharing) etc.
3. If you install Woody now, sometime soonish you will feel the urge to 
upgrade, and while upgrading the software is fairly easy, upgrading your 
data might not be. Service will become unavailable while you attend to 
databases, email storage, new configuration requirements and so on.
4. Sarge is now supported with security updates.

As for reliability, what uptime requirements do you have? If you're not 
using a UPS, Sarge will be at least are reliable as your supply of 
electrons. We're not talking about Windows which you must take down each 
month for Bill's latest scheduled fixes or inbetween for hotfixes. 
Mostly, you security updates are done in a minute or so (depends on 
hardware, of course) and only affect the particular service being 
updated. If you have to replace your MTA, nobody will notice unless 
they're trying to send mail at the critical moment, and it wil be back 
before they get to complain. Of course, task such as those should be 
done when there are none, or few, users around, but you can easily have 
your updates downloaded ready.

I think Sarge is up to the task, set up your sources.list for Sarge not 
testing. There are security updates for Sarge now. This is a bit of a 
balance between utterly reliable (not a stable release yet) but current 
versions of software.

Hi,

I would recommend waiting until the next Debian release. This is
currently scheduled to happen on Sept 19th, though deadlines are rather
flexible in Debian. You can then go with that stable release.

If you want to get started now, you can install Sarge. Sarge is
currently in testing. Sarge will become stable at the september
release date. It's currently pretty good, perfectly fine for doing the
setup work. And after the release date, a simple apt-get dist-upgrade
command will ensure everything gets upgraded to the official release
versions.

See http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer; for Sarge
installation info.

You *could* install the current stable version, then after the next
release upgrade to the new stable version. But I wouldn't recommend it,
because the upgrade will want to install *huge* amounts of updates. And
in addition, the new installer is much easier to use than the old one.

Regards,

Simon

For server, the safe, cautious advice is to use stable. But now, Sarge is
on the verge of becoming the newest version of stable. Depending on how fast
the people at gymnasium work, it might very well be the official stable by the
time that you have convinced them to use it.

Re: Quick question regarding permissions and tar

[Darik Horn]

tar cvfPpj /home/mark/secure-server-woody.tar.bz2 /home/image/secure-server
Run `tar jtvvf secure-sever-woody.tar.bz2` and notice how every file in the tarball has the '/home/image/secure-server' prefix.  This will make it difficult to unpack.  (The 'Pp' switches are not doing what you think they're doing.)

You will get the desired result by doing this:

# cd /home/image/secure-server
# tar jcf /home/mark/secure-server-woody.tar.bz2 *
You can install the tarball to a new disk by doing this:

# mkdir /target
# mount /dev/MyDisk /target
# cd /target
# tar jxf /home/mark/secure-server-woody.tar.bz2
# [install a boot loader to the new disk]
If you really need the initial '/' in the tarball, then you'll need to do something like this:

# chroot /home/image/secure-secure
# tar --exclude /out.tar.bz2 -jcvPf out.tar.bz2 /
# exit

Hi,

I've created a snapshot of a secure locked down server running woody that

basic things like fstab,lilo,partitioning and updates etc..
I've installed the harddrive to another pc that again is not net
connected, but running woody with Gnome, I've mounted the hardrive and
created a compressed image of the new system:
tar cvfPpj /home/mark/secure-server-woody.tar.bz2 /home/image/secure-server

Basically this will compress using bz2 compression, do not strip slashes
and keep the permissions of the files.
This is fine, I have a live cd (opps, running gentoo basic, as its only
66mb), which I have copied the image to and use to extract to a new pc.
The problem I'm getting is that its not keeping the correct permissions,
it looks like its taking the permissions from the host livecd.
This I can understand, but when I chroot into the new environment, all the
permissions are messed up, where as in /dev/ where is should say i.e.
cdrom it only says 18 for the group (yes cdrom is listed in /etc/groups).
I can cure this by copying the same version of group from the newly
extracted system into the live cd after boot up and then wipe the
extracted image and re extract the new image again.
Basically is there any way around this problem? apart from creating my own
livecd using debian as a base
(I know I could try knoppix, but I really want a small base live cd,so

It's part of fvwm. It's a module called FvwmButtons (I think in the
old fvwm1 days it was called GoodStuff or something). It can be
customized just as extensively as the rest of fvwm2, in that screenshot
it's running several swallowed applications and modules (ones which
are run inside the FvwmButtons toolbar instead of inside their own
windows).

I personally like the 3ware cards. I've had stability problems with
certain cards that promised (*cough*) to do better. I just installed four

go with the 7410 and later decide you do want RAID, you're all set to
go. Keep in mind that RAID 5 on the 7410 will be s-l-o-w. Instead you
would want the 7450.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has a copy of the old(...ie 4 weeks +)Citrix
tarball avaliable.  I need this tarball, not the new one on thier website.  I
am trying to install citrix on my FreeBSD system, and I need the linux Citrix
tarball (it runs citrix under linux emulation).  I have searched Google,
Freshmeat, asked in IRC, the FreeBSD mailing lists, tried to install the
german version of citrix, emailed the port maintainer, and emailed the citrix
people.   All this has either gotten me nothing, or they point me to the new
version of this tarball, and it's not what i need.The file is called
linuxx86.tar.gz   Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I have always
had good success with this list when I need it for my debian help (half my
computers are debian).

When replying can you please CC: me, I am no longer on this mailing list.

just a quick question for those adminning large networks out there -

what software package do you use for notifications etc? I am a junior admin 
in a large network of linux/freebsd machines, and looking at implementing a 
system based upon netsaint, which I consider will do all I need (when 
combined with mysql), however my senior admin seems to think NOCOL
is a better system.

We switched from NOCOL to Netsaint about a year ago (both using qpage
to sent text pages in emergencies).

I don't much remember why we switched, but Netsaint seem less prone to
false positives, able to monitor more details, better able to keep and
display history, and the pretty web interface is nice too.

Some of this may be better configuration rather than inherent
superiority, but Netsaint does the job for me.

The quick alternative is to install glimpse.

if you have it installed, it will be in the Apps menu, under Net.  otherwise
you need to type:

'apt-get install communicator' at the command prompt with root privileges.

Howdy,

Slink 2.1 r4. *is* the current almost-bomb-proof release (The Y2K fixes,

I would use a better subject line.

If you're booting into DOS, then make just the DOS partition bootable.

 Could you put a command in the /etc/ppp/ip-down script to reset xringd?
This is run every time pppd goes down...

Ray,

Thanks for the reply and yes there is a deb file for xringd. The
latest version is in Hamm and slink. And I am in the process of installing
it. Also your suggestion about adding it to the ip-up/ip-down is excellent.

Xringd via dselect is installed and a start file is created in the
init.d directory. So just adding the command /etc/init.d/xringd stop might
be the exact thing it needs to get it to work right. I will have to
experiment a little to find out if this works. But right now, I am in the
process of getting it to work just on the rings. 

Again thanks for your reply...

Mike Acklin

Re: Quick Question

[Mike Acklin]

Thanks for the pointers from both you and Ray. And to David Engle for the
Debian Package. I have done some fiddling around and have a work around on 
your two points.

 /dev/ttyS1

1. This is probably the best solution, but I am not very good at 
recompiling things. So what I did was link /dev/ttyS1 (my setup) to 
/dev/modem and it started working fine. I hope this was right as I issued 
the following command in the /dev dir:

ln -s /dev/ttyS1 modem

I now have a soft link to the ttyS1 to the modem.

 
 2. When you start pon it resets the modem and after you do poff, xringd

2. On this one, I used Ray's idea of using the ip-up directive in
/etc/ppp/ip-up but I expanded it a little.

I ended up adding /etc/init.d/xringd stop in the /etc/ppp/ip-up script and
when I log off, I added /etc/init.d/xringd start in the /etc/ppp/ip-down
script. This works great and RESETs and starts monitoring the ttyS1 port
after ppp is down. 

The reason I stopped xringd with the ip-up, is basically I know it isn't
going to be used and why waste resources when it isn't needed. Thanks to
David Engle [EMAIL PROTECTED] for setting up the package it self and using
the /etc/init.d/xringd script. I guess if it hadn't been for the initial
debian setup, and your's and Ray's pointers, I would have been pretty well 
lost and would probably never got it working right. But as far as I can 
tell everything is working like I expected it to.

Thanks to everyone that replied and helped me out on this one. There wasn't
too much available on xringd on the net as I looked and couldn't find very
much information

Quick Question

[Mike Acklin]

Hello Everyone,

I have a quick question about linux/debian. Does anyone know of a
way or a program that if you call your Modem (With it being offline), it
will monitor the port and if it sees RING, the system will automagically
start pon?

What I am trying to do is have my home computer on and connected to
a separate line, and be offline. Then if I need something from my computer
from work or somewhere else besides home, I can dial my home number, the system
will see an incoming call, the start the ppp/pon so I can telnet, ftp, web,
to my machine. Kinda like diald in reverse.

Has anyone ever heard of such? Just wondering as I was looking
through dselect and didn't see anything. I am running Debian Slink, diald,
pppd, I have slip and ppp compiled into the 2.0.35 kernel. If you have,
please let me know. Thanks...


Mike
