> I'm using verbatim to include these files but it is giving me a lot of > Overfull \hbox > How to fix this? > TIA,Paulo Henrique. The way I usually deal with this is to use a smaller font for the verbatim stuff. Try a \footnotesize command right before your \verbatim include. If that doesn't work, just keep going smaller until you get what you want (I think the next smallest is \small, then \tiny). Also, don't forget to put a \normalsize argument after the \verbatim include, otherwise the rest of your document will be illegible. HTH -- Stephen W.

Newbie question
Hi all, How do I get to the screen where I can login as root? Now I get the graphical login screen and I can't login as root. When I try to setup my ADSL connection to the internet the pppoeconf program tells me I have to become root first. When I open a window and type the command su root then I'm root, but still this pppoeconf tells me I have to become root. I want to login as root so I can setup my ADSL connection. Or is there an other way to do this? Thank you very much Koen Niehof -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ipmasquerading question
Hi all, I've just install woody on my ultrasparc1, i've setup my internet connection on it using dhcp on eth0 (cable modem), but now i want to make my sun station a gateway. I've tried to setup ipmasquerading with iptables, as i've not very experience with Linux/networks 'until now i've used Mandrake and Suse for desktop. So i'v follow instruction found at http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tutorials/homegateway but unfortunately it doesn't work well: - on my sparc - i can ping www.google.fr (etrh0) - i can ping internal network 192.168.1.xxx (eth1) - i have messages like "ipconntrack table full droping" - lsmod =>ipt_MASQUERADE... 0 (unused) iptable_nat ... 0 [ipt_MASQ...] ipconntrak ... 1 [ipt_MASQ.. iptable_nat] ip_tables ... 4 [ipt_MASQ.. iptable_nat] - iptables -L =>can't initialize iptables table 'filter': Table does not exist... - iptables -t nat -L =>empty tables - on my desktop - i can ping my sparc by its IP 192.168.1.1 - i can ping my sparc internet side with its IP - i can't ping google.fr (my /etc/resolv.conf is good _ same as my sparc) - ethereal show a lot of request (from my desktop) on internet ip address family and lot of arp request on my local net (from my desktop) (who has 192.168.1.xxx...)

If it happens in two applications, it is a term issue, rather than an ssh one. You'll want something like xmodmap so you can remap keys. First, to see what $TERM setting is being used, try `echo $TERM` - then you can either remap the keys with a utility, or go to /usr/share/terminfo/foo and edit manually, but I don't really recommend this, unless you know what you're doing.

Hey, I'm setting up a linux box for my friend (dual-booting actually), but i'm going to have to set up the network setting and i was looking for some advice first (because i can't change how the networking is done on his entire network). First, his IP address is 'Obtained Automatically', does this mean i want to use DHCP? Or does Windows have some proprietary method of automatically obtaining IP addresses? If it is DHCP, i shouldn't need to know the default gw or nameservers right? That would be a big relief too me...

None of mode, user, or group of a symlink have any significance whatsoever for symlinks. They are only there because all files have those. But they are not used, the attributes of the target file are used. Symlinks are purely a name redirection to the destination file relative to the source file. Okay, I lied about user:group _never_ being used for a symlink. They are used when determining if you can create or delete them from a directory and if the directory has the 't' bit set, etc. There a different user than the owner cannot delete a symlink of a different user in /tmp which has the 't' bit set.

X question, startup
I have tried two variants, both do not work out: a) doing xinit it will all start, then I say log out and it will not terminate, the panels are still there b) with gdm it will start, but with no borders around the windows, it just won't work out. What is the right thing to do with gdm, do I need .xinitrc or .xsession or both? I would like to have ssh-agent running for real, wmaker and gnome-session. What do I have to put there and in what order? wmaker's README.Debian says I should only exec /usr/bin/X11/wmaker, the gnome-session README.Debian says I should only amp out wmaker and then exec gnome-session. Argh? It has been tough enough to even start using X at all, the console just worked... Any hints most welcome.

Re: Newbie question
If you are loging in through gnome desktop manager (gdm), it will not let you in as root. If this is the case (wanting to use graphical interface and being root), I would suggest using kdm (same as gde, but from kde). To do so, "dpkg-reconfigure kde" will give you the chance of selecting your destop manager. Koen Niehof wrote: >Hi all, > >How do I get to the screen where I can login as root?

Never log in as root (or on a Windows box, as Administrator, similarly, don't create new administrator accounts on a Windows box, but that's a whole'nother story). For more reasons than I have the patience to type, do a google search for "never log in as root". > When I try to setup my ADSL connection to the internet the pppoeconf > program tells me I have to become root first.

Or is there an other way to do this? If set up properly, it should start the connection on boot. If this isn't desirable, try as root, /etc/init.d/pppoe start (and swap start for stop when you're done). I'm not entirely sure, since I won't use an internet provider trying to screw me out of service. PPPoE/A is used nearly exclusively on DSL ISPs who want to be able to "hang up" on customers or play games with PPP to limit bandwidth.

No i have'nt dhcp on my client worstation (behind firewall), i was talking about the firewall itself, The problem is when i install debian on my usparc it wasn't connected to my cable modem so eth0 was configure staticaly and eth1 wasn't configure at all. So it is my start configuration.

NIS setup question
I don't think I understand the NIS Howto. I was left with the impression that with libc6 installed, I would not need ypbind because libc6 knows about NIS all by itself. I have set up another system as an NIS server (running ypserv), but my client system cannot seem to see the information from that server. It is the case that ypbind must be running on any NIS client system regardless of whether it is using libc6 or not?

Question about dpkg architecture
Hi there, here is a Debian newbie. I installed woody on my Pentium II several weeks ago. But I found every package I created by 'apt-get source -b ' is architecture i386 (*.i386.deb). The command 'dpkg --print-install-architecture' returns i386 too. From the manpage of dpkg, I think it is because the gcc installed on my box is i386 architectured. But I do want my own created deb is something like '.i686.deb' and my gcc can optimize the code for my PentiumII CPU. I have run 'apt-get source -b gcc-2.95' but found it was still compiling a gcc of i386 :(. It seems that the gcc-2.95 source package doesn't use the 'config.guess' which comes with the original gcc source, does it? I mannully runned './config.guess' and it returns the 'i686-intel-linux-gnu'; this should be the correct architecture. Is this a bug? I spend my whole last night on this problem but had nothing resolved (//shame). Could anyone give me some advice or tell me which mailing-list I should ask help from or which package I should report this bug to? Thanks in advance.

Usually, GNOME does this for you.
$ grep start_esd ~/.gnome/sound/system
start_esd=true
Have a look in Settings->Session->Session Properties. Is there a
"sound-properties" entry? If not, just start it from the command line
(esd should be running afterwards), re-open the "Session Properties"
dialog, set its Order to 20, its Style to Settings, hit OK and save the
session now or when logging out.
As a workaround, you may just add it (esd -nobeeps) to the startup
programs (Settings->Session->Session Properties & Startup Programs). The
difference may be that it is not killed when you log out.

simple shell scripting question
hi everyone, just trying to learn how to do shell scription, assigned myself a simple task: I have a webstie which I manage both from home (mac) and work (woody). I use sitecopy at work but my access is only via ftp, so sitecopy can't identify newer files on the website. So after I upsdate the site form home, I usually log in to my work ocmputer and immediately ftp the new site files over. This can be slightly tedious, and I would like to be able to do this in just one command. so I'd like to be able to do this: ftp -i origin.chass.utoronto.ca cd public_html mget * */* */*/* quit unfortunately the last three commands have to be entered on the ftp command line, far as I can tell. so: is there a way to pass these instructions on to ftp from a shell script?

Newbie question - Serial Ports
Hello, I finally got the ecpa driver for my 8 port Digi board to compile and run. It created the 8 serial devices ttyD000 through ttyD007. I have a modem on port 1 and port 1 or ttyD000 and ttyD001. I installed minicom to see if I could shoot some AT commands to them just to test and I get nada. If I run stty /dev/ttyD000 -a I do get a bunch of output including the buad rate (9600), however most of the other output I don't understand. Is there a good utility to "test" a serial port and also see how it is configured? The digi driver was supposed to build dpa and ditty, two specific programs for the digiboards but neither was built and I cannot get them to compile seperately. Any ideas? Thank you!!

Hello, Is the following a reasonable invocation of adduser for adding a user named 'backup' on: the amanda-client host? the amanda-server host? adduser --system --ingroup nogroup --home /var/run/backup \ --shell /bin/sh --disabled-password backup >/dev/null 2>&1 || true Are there any security problems or filesystem problems (or amanda problems) with using the above on either type of host?

Installation: pkgs held back question
Hi Thanks for the help from members of the list. I'd like some more help, please. I noticed the warning about openssl security. I found it installed on my Woody system. I wanted the latest security (and other) updates. I attempted to update my system using apt-get update then iterating apt-get dist-upgrade || apt-get -f install I have appended the results from this command and dpkg -l and dpkg --audit at the end of this message. I was successful recently in updating to Stable from Woody pre-beta (Nov 2001) by repeating the above apt-get commands until updating stoped. This time this command upgraded one package. It noted that 240 packages were held back. On the next iteration it told me that 240 pacages were held back, and "0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 241 not upgraded." Repeating this command does nothing more except attempt to install a kernel image I do not want. (That is Question 2, below) Question 1: How do I "take these packages off hold" or otherwise make the update continue. OR -- do I want to do this? This command tried to install a 2.20 kernel. It noticed that I have 2.20 modules and politely asked whether to replace them. I don't want the 2.2 kernel, I am very happy with 2.4.14-k6 kernel. It offered the opportunity to stop, so I said stop now. Question 2: How do I tell the package system not to install the 2.20 kernel? As usual, if I have failed to read somthing I should have, feel free to flame, or just say so. David Teague = dpkg --audit gives no output dpkg -l I believe the output from this tells me the packages that are "kept back" are "on hold" Here is output from my attempt to upgrade: elentari:~# apt-get -f install Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 241 not upgraded. elentari:~# apt-get dist-upgrade || apt-get -f install Reading Package Lists...

question about Supra Express 56i
Don, See my question after your comment. I just had to set up a serial port using the I/O and IRQ that the BIOS assigned. Okay how did you set up this IRQ and i/o port? What commands did you use? Because this is an ISA modem so I think I will give this a run. Do I necessarily have to turn off that serial port on the mother board or can I put something in /etc/rc.d I believe that will automatically initialise it every time I boot? I don't really want to fool with the mother board on this machine because I don't really know it that well. Thanks for the help Don it is very much appreciated.

Sure, it's often unnecessary, and something finer-grained would be desirable. But you said it was dangerous, and that's what I picked up on. Why? > i explictly grant permissions on demand and after some checks. i dont > give everyone access to a specific resource. so for security reasons the > exe-permissions should used really carefully. its like a opt-in into my > "security realm". As I said above, the execute bit provides no real security except in the case of set-id executables. No trust needs to be involved, since anybody who can read the file can arrange to execute it anyway. If you're concerned about setting the executable bit because you have programs that randomly go around actually executing untrusted code, of course, then they're buggy and should be fixed ...

If MODE is omitted, or if -S' is supplied, the current value of the mask is printed. The `-S' option makes the output symbolic; otherwise an octal number is output. If MODE begins with a digit, it is interpreted as an octal number, otherwise it is a symbolic mode string like that accepted by chmod(1). == or better description (user comments!): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.umask.php the umask just applies to newly created files or directories. > Basically I just want to grant exe permission to the world ONLY on new > files created in the USERS web directorys, just to save them the hassle > of manually changing it, I DON'T want to give .exe status to any new > file created on my linux box by default. as described above only the fopen, mkdir,... calls AFTER the umask are influenced. and it depends on the server side language you are using, if you have to reset the umask before the end of the script. and: i am not sure if the umask works for uploads. because i.e. php creates a tmp-file. but this happens before the php-code is reached. so setting the umask is only working if you copy the files by hand. but i think for a better help you should consult a mailinglist/news group which discusses problems for the specific language. cu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

How do you upload those files? You'll have to change a setting in the program that handles that on the server side. If its FTP, find out which ftp server you're running.

Re: Question on File Permissions
Well, basically what I learned today, is that web file permissions are usually handled by the FTP client, which I am finding out is a problem with certain FTP utils like Dreamweaver for instance, because for some reason you have to download the Exchange Utilties which cost more $$ to get the feature of setting default UPLOAD permissions, while several other FTP utils have this feature built in. I am a little pissed, that Dreamweaver would have people scrating their heads on this one, with no info in the help, or on there web site. In their forums, several people have had the same trouble and it takes a user, not Macromedia to tell them the answer is to spend more dollars on Dreamweaver extensions. Shouldn't this feature just be built in to any Web writing software?

Re: Question about dpkg architecture
Hi, If you want to compile your packages specifically for your architecture, you need to use apt-build. This utility runs like apt-get but instead of just installing the debian package is first downloads the source, compiles the program specific to your architecture and then installs the newly created debian package. Hope you have lots of time on your hands, some of the compilations can take hours, even on newer machines (P4 2.5, 1 GB memory).

You can plug in a usb device (mouse, external (hard|cdrom|floppy) drive, digital camera, etc.). The Hotplug service monitors the usb interface and when a device is plugged in it will register the device and make it available for use to the system. I don't know if it will load modules on-demand or not, but I know it will work with drivers that are in the kernel. On my laptop, I plug in a usb mouse and it comes right up for use. I then unplug that and plug in my Visor PDA and sync it with JPilot (these are modules which are already loaded). I then unplug that and plug in my Lexar SmartMedia reader and upload some pictures. Then, I unplug that and put my usb mouse back in. Hotplug manages the usb interface which allows me to do this. I'm running woody/stable and a self-compiled 2.4.19 kernel.

Michael, thanks for the ref to ncftpput. I'l\l look into that and lftp, as someone else suggested. But re: the here script: does this work if I write it ina simple shell script?

Jerry Gregoire - Former CIO at Dell -Original Message- From: deFreese, Barry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 1:24 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Newbie question - Serial Ports Hello, I finally got the ecpa driver for my 8 port Digi board to compile and run. It created the 8 serial devices ttyD000 through ttyD007. I have a modem on port 1 and port 1 or ttyD000 and ttyD001. I installed minicom to see if I could shoot some AT commands to them just to test and I get nada. If I run stty /dev/ttyD000 -a I do get a bunch of output including the buad rate (9600), however most of the other output I don't understand. Is there a good utility to "test" a serial port and also see how it is configured? The digi driver was supposed to build dpa and ditty, two specific programs for the digiboards but neither was built and I cannot get them to compile seperately. Any ideas? Thank you!!

Re: local Mail: naive question
Ofcourse you can go fo either the most simple setup or a more flexible one. Jeff is looking for a simple setup which would, in my humble opinion, probably be some MUA (e.g. Mozilla) fetch mails directly from your POP3 and IMAP accounts and sending mail through your ISP's mailserver. Nate described a much more flexible setup which I, in fact, have. In my setup, fetchmail fetches my mail from various POP3 accounts and delivers it through Exim and procmail to the proper mailboxes. The courier-imap server provides access to the mailboxes, giving me both location and MUA independence. My reasons for wanting those two capabilities is that I want a text based client (Mutt) when on the road and without proper mouse and keyboard and a GUI client (KMail, Ximian Evolution, SquirrelMail) when at my dockingstation. Ofcourse I can send you my config files and a more detailed description of my setup if you'd like. In addition, it is wise to install a mailserver on your local machine if only because lots of daemons would like to use it to tell you things.

Don't if it was the specific problem, but I had random, frequent (once a day at least) keyboard & mouse lockups requiring a reboot starting soon after the XFree upgrade (via apt-get dist-upgrade). It was so frustrating I reinstalled testing. Before that, unstable would go for weeks without problems for me. Bob Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
