  What happened was that lilo installation couldn't be stopped/skipped
  ...well no big deal so I installed it in the mbr as I usually do.
 
  On boot I found all the old entries still there next to the new one.
  But they all (the mdk entries) pointed to the same / partition(in my case
  hdd1) instead of the ones they originally pointed to. Thus rendering 9.0
  unbootable.
 
  So I booted up old 9.0 using a boot floppy added 9.1 to lilo.conf,
  pointing it to it's proper partition and copied the needed initrd and
  vmlinuz to /boot and everything's fine.

 can you tell me more about what you did? (maybe i'm missing your
 original mail, i just had this reply)

 thanks!

On it's way, offlist!

Re: [expert] xawtv fractured screen

 Does anyone else have this problem?

Not exactly, but similiar.

 After watchting TV (happens randomly) in 
 full screen, switching back to windowed shows the desktop as a bunch of long, 
 horizontal rectangles.  I can still follow the mouse around and read a single 
 line of text if I find the top of a window and move it around.

It only happens to the root window (the background) for me and only a
stripe that is as high as the TV output, but that is repeatable (any
time I use xawtv to watch TV).

 Logging out (CTRL-ALT-BKSP) and restarting x sometimes works, but most of the 
 time, my consoles don't work anymore (monitor shuts down when I press 
 CTRL-ALT-F1.  must be bad video mode or no video) and the only solution is to 
 shutdown or hit the reset button.

Since it only is aesthetic problem for me, I never cared to find a
cure.

 I have a nVidia GeForce2 MX 400 AGP card and Mandrake 9.0
 I'm running Mandrake's nv driver since xawtv doesn't work with nVidia's 
 driver.

MSI GeForce4 Ti 4200 VTD-64, AGP, Mandrake Cooker (up-to-date) on
default Mandrake kernel (2.4.20-2). nvidia's driver works (4191) for me
together with xawtv.

Up to now I thought rivatv (the video-in driver) was the culprit and
did not care to find a solution, because the driver is still at 0.5
and so some glitches are to be expected.

HTH,

Benjamin.

[expert] Dev tool for GUI perl apps using TK.

2003-01-14 Thread Franki

Hi guys,

Do any of you know any GUI apps that give perl TK apps something of a VB
type interface???


I have some big TK apps to write.. and I was wondering what tools mandrake
developers used to aid in the process..
I ask since a great many of Mandrake's GUI tools are perl scripts..

It is kernel that assigns eth numbers at boot time, I suspect based on 
the (remembered) MAC at the other end of the link, using arp (see man 
arp), and the eth number assigned by kernel has nothing to do with the 
NIC type, NIC manufacturer, or PCI slot.   I suspect that the NIC is 
never aware of its eth number - communication is done MAC to MAC, which 
is why the MAC is assigned by the NIC manufacturer on a globally unique

Just checked: They are indeed symlinked that way.

leaving the default as it is (to win4lin in my case) makes it accident

I don't understand why the win4lin entry has changed it's init.rd from

Changing default to linux on reboot might be better.

You are quite right, I didn't write that down as specifically as I should've.

It isn't as much as in which order the kernel sees the nics during the install

 Subject: [expert] printer driver in samba

 Hi,

 I'm trying to add driver to the print$ share in Windows 2000 as a printer
 administrator. But after selecting Printers/Server Properties/Drivers, all
 tabs cannot be selected (grayed out). 

You need to be listed in 'printer admin group' or a member of such a
group, such as:

printer admin group = @adm root
etc

BTW, process is like this, browse to the Printers share on the machine,
right-click the printer, choose properties, say no when offered to
install a driver, click advanced, choose New Driver.

Is there a way I can enable them so
 workstations can automatically install the print drivers? The print$ path is
 /var/lib/samba/printers, and permission is set to 755 with
 user:group=root:root. I tried 777 and change group to printer admin but
 nothing worked. Would someone please help?

Well, you should also have some directories under there such as W32X86 etc

Check the perms of those, and also ensure the share has enabled write
for whoever is trying to upload drivers.

 Regards,
 Norman

 Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 00:31:41 -0500
 Subject: [expert] Re: Samba 2.2.7a packages

 Anyways, does 2.2.7a fix this 2GB file limit problem?  How long has
 this problem been around (this is the first I've heard of it, but I'm
 not a samba user).

 It most certainly does.  I posted something here, didn't get any replies, so 
 I went to the Samba list, where the issue was discussed hot and heavy!  The 
 2.2.7A definitely fixed the 2gb limit problem, although apparently smbmount 
 still has the bug, last I heard (this may now be fixed - it's been a while 
 now since I've been off the samba list).

It most certainly doesn't fix all the 2GB issues, it does fix the smbd
issue, but there are problems with smbclient and smbtar. I have packages
with patches to fix those two, and a 3rd patch to add referral support
for LDAP. However, I won't be releasing RPMS for the samba ftp mirrors
until the creation of machine accounts is fixed.

How we normally work on samba is as follows:

1)new verion into cooker
2)packages on my site and Sylvestre's for stable releases
3)when those have been tested decently, they get submitted to samba ftp
4)If updates are needed, we then submit to Vince if we haven't had any
problems, and Vince does QA, then the packages go out.

We are currently at about 2) for 2.2.7a, with some bugs to fix that were
found on my production servers ...

 It's also unfair to be sitting around and yelling  Hey Mandrake when
 are you going to fix this bug that no one reported?.  Is there a
 bugzilla entry for this?  I am assuming that if this was a legitimate
 problem that needed to be addressed in updates, and the bug had been
 reported to someone here, that it would have been forwarded to myself. 
 This hasn't happened so I can only assume one of two things:  It was
 reported, but not acted on, or it wasn't reported.

 I reported it here on this list.  If there is another place to do so, please 
 let me know.  I had hoped that since there was a 2.2.7a rpm in cooker that 
 someone knew about it, and a fix was in the works.

Cooker isn't a bad place, but you could also look in the changelog to
see who maintains the samba packages and ask ...

 as i understood it, the 2 gig limit wasa fat problem, not a Samba problem,  
 If this is the case, then an upgrade wouldn't fix the problem, right?

No, this specific one was an smbd bug introduced in 2.2.7.

 If you're running on an old file system that has a 2gb limit, of course there 
 will be a problem.  But ext3 works nicely past 2gb.

Doesn't help if a variable is truncated somewhere in smbd and the file
wraps.

 I ended up finding an (older now) cooker rpm that works with 9.0.  First 
 though, I tried building from source.  This failed, while it worked fine on a 
 7.1 mandrake machine.  I didn't dig too far to see why it failed.

I would like to hear any issues of rebuilding the srpm on an Mandrake
machine. I build on 8.0 through to cooker (except 8.1, lost my 8.1 build
box).

I announce on the samba lists, and hardly ever get any response from
anyone ...

 If someone has some reference on the samba site or mailing list or
 something that 2.2.7a fixes this problem explicitly, please let us
 know.  If this is something that upgrading to 2.2.7a will fix, then I
 would be happy to do it.

 How about:

[expert] 9.1 beta - More 1st impressions

Installed 9.1 on my spare partitions yesterday, and it is very nice!

Installation:

The Mandrake installer is getting better:
- still hangs a horrible death on my laptop if I have the USB mouse
connected.
- On the individual package selection and configuration of services
screen the work box on the screen is smaller than the content
displayed, obscuring the buttons.  The screen is big enough.  Weird.

I did an expert installation.

Using the system:

My laptop seems to have an fsck'd implementation of ACPI so initial
boot-up locked-up, passing acpi=off on the boot prompt fixed that.

A strange thing, when first rebooting, my CD drive was open (install
ejected the disc when done, and I left it so as not to boot for it) and
start-up hung when it probed /dev/hdc.  Odd.

Once up, everything looked spiffy, played around a bit, I'll have to
track down the kernel sources so I can recompile to get ACPI working on
my laptop.

One thing, what is with the default font on the Konsole?  On my
machine there was almost a singe space between each character?  Switched
to a custom font and this went away, most odd.

A quick edit to the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and I got my USB mouse
working in concert with the touchpad on my laptop.

Other than that, I like it, it picked up my NTFS partitions
automagically, I can't wait until XFS is supported so I can link into my
regular home partition and really give it a work out.

Very stable looking release for a beta, impressive!

 From: Dave Seff [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 To: Mandrake Expert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Subject: [expert] Samba Bug Found!!!

 It looks like Mandrake's latest patch/package (samba-2.2.3a-10.1mdk) for
 Samba has a bug. If you use Samba as a PDC, New users added will not be
 able to
 +log on to the domain. The problem lies in the NT password hash section
 of the smbpasswd file. 

I would be interested in evidence of this. Unfortunately all my servers
run more up-to-date versions of samba, I don't have an 8.2 box I can
test on currently :-(.

But, the patch applied by Vince for 2.2.3a-10.1mdk was a one-liner on
the 2.2.3a-10mdk package fixing a buffer overflow somewhere else in the
code, so I would be very wary of blaming this on the update.

I have rolled back to the stock mdk8.2 RPM And
 readded the
 +users and then it was ok.

 I haven't had a chance to look through any source, so If anyone from
 Mandrake reads this, I hope you get a chance to look at it.

You don't need to read the whole source, install the samba source rpm
from updates, and take a look at the additional patch.

FYI, check http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake for samba packages for
various releases on various Mandrake dists.

2003-01-14 Thread Francisco Alcaraz Ariza

1) I have restored the scanner, not needed to download cooker sane/xsane 
packages, but still scannerdrake can't recognize it in the base data.

2) Both printers: Epson Stylus Color 760 (usb) and HPLaserJet 4L (parallel), 
but not recognized in the installation. Printer drake gave me some problems, 
it recognized the presence of the Epson usb printer, but didn't install it. I 
needed to force printer drake to install both. I don't know why, but 
installing the HP (parallel) it download the samba 3 packages via urpmi 
from cooker.

3) Finally I solved the problems with the screen reconfiguring the video-card 
and selecting not the nvidia geforce 4, but a vesa driver. Now not more 
problems with transparent windows, text awfull Is perfect but, of course, 
not dri activated.

4) No way to have the second cdrom (dvd) runing. As somepeople as said me in 
the list, is a known problem in the kernel comming with beta.

5) I had a kernel panic after change several times the cd in the only 
cd-driver runing. But supermount is runing almost fine.

6) Xawtv is runing, so my tv-card has been well configured (normal from 8.0)

I'm just playing with it at the moment. I only use it when I'm
accessing this e-Mail account remotely. But I've been using it just
enough that I got tired of the default behaviours. :)

Now I'm down to fiddling with such useful things as the colors. 
It's made a bit more fun, because I'm ssh'd into that mail account. So
the colors get a little unpredictable. 

I'll look into updating it though. I'm on one of my older servers, and
it's still at MDK 8.1, with Mutt 1.4.something..

[expert] paging errors on Dell 2500 / Serverworks / Perc RAID

We have got a server that we have been prepping for a while. We just
added more disks to it (it previously had a single 18GB SCSI), so we now
have the 18GB single disk and a 5*36GB RAID5 set.

Since we introduced the RAID set, we are seeing paging errors on the
machine, and we haven't been able to transfer the data that needs to
live on the raid array (via rsync).

Just wandering if anyone else has seen something like this?

Machine is a Poweredge 2500, PIII-1133/512MB, on-board Intel eepro100,
off-board tulip-based NIC, no other hardware besides the 1*18GB and
5*36GB disks.

We are running lvm over the RAID5 (but the machine originally ran lvm on
the 18GB SCSI single for testing, no problems then).

More details available if you are not familiar with Dell stuff, when I
can get into the machine.

Please cc me as I'm subscribed in digest mode.

 Robert, why does your evolution produce the messages in Dos format?  Or
 is it passing through an NT mail server that's converting it?

Dos format?? WTF??  I don't run a NT mailserver, I use qmail at home,
when I use my dial-up on the road (which this went through) I use their
SMTP server, I get this when I telnet to the server on port 25:

ESMTP server (InterMail vM.5.01.05.17 201-253-122-126-117-20021021)

I found Intermail on the net, and it is the FidoNet mailer (WTF?), I'm
sure there must be another, just haven't looked.

[expert] Mandrake 9.0 urpmi broken?

2003-01-14 Thread Praedor Tempus Atrebates

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I am not finding urpmi very functional nor impressive in Mandrake 9.0.  In 
Mandrake 8.2 it works like a charm but in 9.0 it chokes on virtually EVERY 
query I make.

Latest:

urpmi recode

In 8.2 this immediately turns up a hit and seeks permission to install another 
rpm to satisfy dependencies.  In 9.0 I get no package named recode.

Heh.  There IS a 9.0 rpm for recode.  I also get this equivalent message for 
EVERYTHING I have tried to urpmi.  I end up having to go to rpmfind instead 
to find and download the rpm.  

What gives?

What I am trying to do is create a sort of virtual file.
I've already tried using the here document and it doesn't seem to be 
working for me.  What I am trying to do exactly is create an LDIF file 
for passing to an LDAP database.  I have each line stored in an 
individual shell variable like so:


There are two ways to do this:
1) Create an ldif file, then call ldap* with that ldif file.
2) Just pass it all to ldap* on stdin.



The syntax I've been trying looks like this:
ldapadd -x -D $binddn -w placepasswordhere hrdoc
line1=dn: uid=$1,ou=Computers,dc=microverse,dc=net;
line2=objectClass: top

Look at this:

#!/bin/bash

gidNumber: $groupnum
homeDirectory: /dev/null

hrdoc

Then you just do 'ldapadd -x -f $1.ldif blah blah blah'



In all cases the here document doesn't seem to make it to the ldapadd 
command which I know reads from standard-in.


All you gotta do is change the command portion of the above that I
quoted:

#!/bin/bash
ldapadd -x blah blah blah  hrdoc

I would be interested in evidence of this. Unfortunately all my servers
run more up-to-date versions of samba, I don't have an 8.2 box I can
test on currently :-(.


I can confirm this. I didn't notice it before because we have mostly 
win9x boxes, but after reading this mail I changed my password (actually 
entering the same) and, while the lanman hash didn't change, the nt one 
did and I couldn't login to the nt box. I didn't downgrade samba though 
and I won't touch it unless some user complains.

  When I compile some programs they complain that kernel version

 This is probably due to the programs doing the wrong thing.
 
 1) When compiling kernel modules, they use headers from
 /usr/src/linux/include.  Period.
 2) When compiling applications, they use headers from /usr/include or
 /usr/local/include or any place *OTHER THAN* /usr/src/linux/include.
 
 If your app is trying to directly include kernel headers, or if your
 kernel module is trying to directly include /usr/include/linux headers,
 it will fail.  This is at Linus' decree.  It's not a Mandrake issue that
 we comply with the big guy.
 
 The issue is complicated because kernel-headers doesn't supply the
 current kernel headers.  I know, I know.  The kernel headers are
 actually provided by the kernel-source rpm.  The kernel-headers rpm
 actually provides the headers that were used to compile glibc.  It only
 changes when glibc changes, so it's natural that kernel-headers-* is a
 different version than kernel-*.
 
 In cooker, this has already been changed so that it's much simpler to
 make sense of in your mind.

Right, right, right!!! After having spent countless hours/days/weeks in 
tweaking the urpmi myself, I couldn't agree more with the statement below. I 
have had no problems since running urpmi.addmedia with the recommended 
sources from nanardon (except for one problem - caused actually by myself: if 
you construct too many sources, for too many reasons, you may end up with 
problems, e.g. kde updates 3.0.5-1.1mdk official updates collided in my 
case with the unsupported source of kde 3.1rc5 ... but that - again - because 
I was too anxious to have ALL possible sources available).

Just using manual installation (add new printers, local printers and

and in this way finally I had both runing. I am sorry because I 
didn't use a console to launch printerdrake, so I wasn't capable of

[expert] 9.1 fixes Perl PREFIX stuff

2003-01-14 Thread Matthew O. Persico

Is Perl going to be adjusted so that

1) make install PREFIX works again.
2) @INC is fixed. In 9.0 the core (lib/5.8.0) comes before the addons (lib/site_perl) 
which means that modules you upgrade (and get installed in lib/site_perl) are never 
seen because the versions in lib/5.8.0 are encounted first in @INC. I've had to 
install my modules into /opt/perl and muck with @PERL5LIB to get around the problem.

Re: [expert] Re: Samba 2.2.7a packages

...

It most certainly doesn't fix all the 2GB issues, it does fix the smbd
issue, but there are problems with smbclient and smbtar. I have packages
with patches to fix those two, and a 3rd patch to add referral support
for LDAP. However, I won't be releasing RPMS for the samba ftp mirrors
until the creation of machine accounts is fixed.

Hurray!! I'm not crazy after all. There really *is* a problem with the
creation of machine accounts in 2.2.7a! What is your best guess as to
when this will be fixed? Doesn't matter if it is a week, a month or
three months but having a guesstimate will give me something to give to
someone else and help me plan my thesis which is on Samba. I hope to
have a working prototype for my defense this quarter. I've almost got
it but the issue with the machine accounts has been makein me crazy.

I also have another issue to report. I've been trying to write a bash
script that adds a user using ldapadd without using an ldif file. In
other words using ldapadd and stdin which is supposed to work. However
it does not seem to. To whit from a previous email:

Grrr!!

What gets me is why this doesn't work:

echo -e $output ldapadd -x -D $binddn -W $pw4binddn

where echo -e $output produces:

[root@enigma scripts]# ./adduser alkjdfal
dn: uid=alkjdfal,ou=Computers,dc=microverse,dc=net

objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount

502 --different echo statement

If I do echo -e $output test.ldif
and then
ldapadd -x -D cn=root,dc=microverse,dc=net -f test.ldif from the command line it works fine!
Do you think this is a bug in ldapadd?

Worst of all, it does not produce any errors!

How we normally work on samba is as follows:

...

I announce on the samba lists, and hardly ever get any response from
anyone ...

It is a little busy. Many things slip through the cracks on the Samba list.

Re: [expert] MNF vs SNF

 On Friday 10 January 2003 10:20 am, T E wrote:
  Hi all,
 
  Perhaps this is a newbie question, but I would
 really
  like your expert opinion :)  - (I can repost to
  newb-list if it gets to hot in here)
 
  My question is: what are the main differences
 between
  MNF and SNF?  I believe I heard MNF was built on
 mdk
  8.2 and is for larger networks while SNF was built
 on
  mdk 7.2 and works best for small networks.
 
 I hate their naming conventions for their firewalls.
 I LOVE their 
 implementations. My opinion is the older one
 shouldn't be used, since there 
 are vulnerabilities unless it is patched is
 probablyl not safe. 

Well, a maintained system will be the case if either
SNF or MNF is used.  After all, what good is a
firewall if you can't keep it up to date?  Sooner or
later exploits are discovered and thus need to be
patched...

 The gui looks 
 almost identical between the two. The older of the
 two only supports 2 nics. 
 The newer one supports at least 3 because I am
 setting one up and it bound 
 all three. I don't think it is fair to say one is
 for small networks and the 
 other big ones. ? 

As I understand it SNF stands for Single network
firewall and MNF stands for Multi Network Firewall -
hence the different references of network size...

 
  I have played around with MNF and am very
 impressed


I agree!  The interface is extremely user friendly
while maintaining versatility.


  with the easy to use web-based GUI!  However, I
 have
  two concerns before I research to heavily into
 this:
 
  1) MNF may be overkill. While I will need as heavy
  protection as possible, there is only one network
  (20-30 WS), and one to five servers
  including an email server...for now.
 
  2) MNF is not free.  Well sort of.  Correct me if
 I'm
  wrong here, but I thought I read somewhere that
 the
  updates must be payed for after the 1st 6 mo. 
 Free is
  a critical component at this stage.
 
  Based on what I've put here, would you guys
 suggest
  SNF?  If so, is it available on most MDK mirros?
  Thanks in advance...
 
 I highly recommend the newer one. I don't believe
 there is any time bomb, and 
 I'm not sure if they require money after 6 months,
 although it is certainly 
 worth what ever it is they charge. I subscribe, so
 haven't actually purchased 
 a shrink wrap one. I think they get more money by
 just donating so that is 
 what I did. 

Here is part of the reason why I believe there are
only 6 months to register: I log into MNF and am
greated with this text:

UPDATES: Don't forget to register your firewall to
receive your free updates for 6 months. These updates
are critical to keep your security product up to date
and to maintain a high security level. These updates
consist of improvements to most features, security
fixes and more.

Like I said updates are critical.  And while this
product may be worth every one of the 200,000 pennies
spent on it, I need a FREE product since I basically
have a 0 penny budget at the moment.

It seems to me that if updates for SNF are free that
may be the way to go.  Don't get me wrong, I'd love to
go with MNF, but I can't afford the price at the
moment and will need eternal updates.

Thanks for the reply, Lorne.  Hmm, I thought it would
get hot here but it seemed to be cold - I expected
quite a few replies since this product is so powerful,
interesting, and useful.  What would happen if I cross
posted to the newb list :P ?

If the server you are hitting has hit its maximum anonymous users, then
you will get strange errors.  I suggest that you try a server such as
ftp.sunet.se.  They maximum anonymous limit is 1000 simultaneous users.

  Yes I know the commandline and the line from plf.zarb.org is functional.
  So there is the problem ?

 Hi Steffen,

 I've noticed this as well and am quite interested to know just how to make
 this work. I've not been able to do any updates on my 9.0 system since it
 was installed in October.

I just had a incident on Mandrakeexpert and tried it myself. Mandrakeupdate is 
at the current state nearly useless. I have used the Easy Urpmi at 

http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php

ftp.stealth.net worked here as far as I could see. Try this as quickshot:

 urpmi.addmedia --update updates 
ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS/ with 
../base/hdlist.cz

regards

Steffen

 If the server you are hitting has hit its maximum anonymous users, then
 you will get strange errors.  I suggest that you try a server such as
 ftp.sunet.se.  They maximum anonymous limit is 1000 simultaneous users.


Hi Todd!

No I don't think thats the problem. First of all this problem is a constant 
problem. The user reported to had tried it over a whole week on every 
us-american server. The second indicator against your argument is that the 
urpmi commandline I got from http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php works 
flwaslessly for supsec and ftp.stealth.net ( this both I tried several times 
now)  I can see all the updates and so I guess I can install them.

Edmunds Enterprises CD's.. Wonder if they had a bad burn 
I did get the ZIP problem I was having figured out and fixed. Has to be master

Thanks to all who gave advice on that one.
OH, I did download and compile licq from source but dependencies were a

It's a mess so remember, you asked for it. ;-)
I've been doing all kinds of tests to try and figure a way around the

1. Get a list of uidNumbers
2. Sort them.
3. Take the one off the top (the largest)
4. Add one to it.
5. Create the text of a new record using the new uidNumber.

#ldapsearch -LL -v -D cn=proxyuser,dc=microverse,dc=net -H 
ldap://localhost -bdc=microverse,dc=net -x (cn=proxyuser)

#1. Search the LDAP database and return all uidNumber attributes in a 
given base

store=`ldapsearch -LLL -D $binddn -H $ldaphost -b$base -x (cn=*) 
uidNumber | \

You are quite right, I didn't write that down as specifically as I should've.

It isn't as much as in which order the kernel sees the nics during the install 
procedure but how the available drivers list is ordered.

I cannot agree, since the NIC driver module is inserted based on the 
line in
/etc.modules.conf, such as:

alias eth1 tulip

This indicates that the eth number has already been assigned when the 
driver
module is inserted.

Heavy snipping...

 As I understand it SNF stands for Single network

Makes sense, I guess... but it sure could be better named. :)

 Here is part of the reason why I believe there are
 only 6 months to register: I log into MNF and am
 greated with this text:

 UPDATES: Don't forget to register your firewall to
 receive your free updates for 6 months. These updates
 are critical to keep your security product up to date
 and to maintain a high security level. These updates
 consist of improvements to most features, security
 fixes and more.

 Like I said updates are critical.  And while this
 product may be worth every one of the 200,000 pennies
 spent on it, I need a FREE product since I basically
 have a 0 penny budget at the moment.

 It seems to me that if updates for SNF are free that
 may be the way to go.  Don't get me wrong, I'd love to
 go with MNF, but I can't afford the price at the
 moment and will need eternal updates.

Well I'll heat it up some. I disagree with you. We all have money for what we 
want. We set our own priorities. How many people have you seen on the 
roadside begging for food and smoking a cigarette. MANY people will tell you 
they don't have enough food to eat, but somehow manage money for cigarettes!! 
I don't have any idea your financial situation, and you may indeed not be 
able to afford it now, but to say you need eternal free updates is not 
reasonable. to say you can't afford $20.00 in six months or forever says you 
don't think it is worth it. To me anyhow.

 Thanks for the reply, Lorne.  Hmm, I thought it would
 get hot here but it seemed to be cold - I expected
 quite a few replies since this product is so powerful,
 interesting, and useful.  What would happen if I cross
 posted to the newb list :P ?

Best of luck to you. I think the reason it has been kind of quiet in here is 
that they don't really have a mns/snf list and they don't seem real proud of 
it. Making it VERy difficult to get support or info for it. Seems strange.

Re: [expert] MTA help (maybe)

2003-01-14 Thread Bill Witherspoon

Thanks for the responses,

Here's what I think I've learned (please correct me):

1) Mutt doesn't have any SMTP code (although oddly it appears that
the Windows very does??)
2) sendmail/postfix/qmail/exim - full blown mail servers that for
my single workstation seems a bit overblown. They also appear to
like having a 'real' domain names to work with. 
3) gui apps that require XFree86 like Kmail/Sylpheed that do
pop/imap reading, and smtp/auth sending. Perfect if I run a Gui.
4) some simple daemons that do smtp like nullmailer, but do
not do smtp/auth. (There's an open invitation to add that to
nullmailer (if you're good at C++) on their mailing list).

Has anyone run into a similar roadblock trying to Mutt without
postfix/sendmail? 

TIA,
Bill

 In this configuration, you should probably send mail via your ISP's SMTP server. For

no relays.

Re: [expert] us-american updatesources broken ?

2003-01-14 Thread James Sparenberg

This might be related might not... I've had in the past update media
that got hosed... One of the things I noticed was that even though I did
remove the media  I still couldn't get to any of the other locations
either.  What I found was that in /etc/urpmi the file urpmi.cfg still
carried the listing for the problematic location.  Then since urpmi
could read that a location should exist according to this file, but
there where no files in /var/lib/urpmi it would balk and not do
anything.  If you do urpmi.update (don't name a media to update.) you'll
get the list of things that urpmi thinks it should be able to update. If
something is listed here that shouldn't be that indicates that you have
orphaned entries in urpmi.cfg.  Removing the lines between the { and }
that indicate an orphaned media and then redoing as I did the first
time, seemed to get me back on track again.

[expert] Capturing startup and shutdown output.

2003-01-14 Thread James Sparenberg

All,

   Do any of you know of a way to capture the startup screen output (not
dmesg but rather what is actually output to the screen.) and the
shutdown mesg.  What it is, is that the problems Ric had with his remote
server go me to start looking hard at what does/doesn't happen when my
boxes start up and shutdown.  What I've noticed is.

No matter what journaled FS is used (not inc xfs sorry) the journal is
replayed while the fs is still mounted ro ... In other words if I have a
hard shutdown right after making a change when the journal is replayed
to recover, it can't be written.  Which to me defeats the purpose of a
journal.  RH, slack and SuSe don't have this problem.  They wait until
after the / filesystem is mounted rw to replay the journal.  


During shutdown. smb and nmb get shutdown seperately and twice! even
though rc6 doesn't have but one k entry..


Note that the first bug is there on 8.0 8.1 8.2 and 9.0 (They tell me at
work that I'm the only person they know who has a multi boot box that
still only does Linux.) I'd love to be able to capture the startup and
shutdown to document what I'm talking about.

 Thanks for the responses,

 Here's what I think I've learned (please correct me):

 1) Mutt doesn't have any SMTP code (although oddly it appears that
 the Windows very does??)
 2) sendmail/postfix/qmail/exim - full blown mail servers that for
 my single workstation seems a bit overblown. They also appear to
 like having a 'real' domain names to work with.
 3) gui apps that require XFree86 like Kmail/Sylpheed that do
 pop/imap reading, and smtp/auth sending. Perfect if I run a Gui.
 4) some simple daemons that do smtp like nullmailer, but do
 not do smtp/auth. (There's an open invitation to add that to
 nullmailer (if you're good at C++) on their mailing list).

 Has anyone run into a similar roadblock trying to Mutt without
 postfix/sendmail?

Hm, try esmtp from cooker. This litte Program does SMTP-AUTH.


 TIA,
 Bill

Re: [expert] us-american updatesources broken ?

On Tuesday 14 January 2003 06:58 pm, Steffen Barszus scribbled incoherently:
 Hi !

 I tried to add an update source trough Mandrake update. However this
 sequencielly fails on all servers.
 -
 Hole HD-Liste (oder synthesis-Datei) von ,,update_source...
 curl: (7) Failed to connect to ftp.stealth.net IP number 2: 103
 ...Holen fehlgeschlagen: curl-Fehler: Beendet mit Rückgabewert 7 oder

 This is the errormessage I got. It seems urpmi.addmedia is called wrong, so
 the initial server is maybe misconfigured. Can anyone shed some light on it
 ?

 Yes I know the commandline and the line from plf.zarb.org is functional. So
 there is the problem ?

 Thanks for help

 Steffen

Hi Steffen,

I've noticed this as well and am quite interested to know just how to make 
this work. I've not been able to do any updates on my 9.0 system since it was 
installed in October.
