The reason for this behaviour is that wget, as well as other Webbrowsers
uses passive ftp mode. Control connections are working fine, but data
connections will fail because they are normally established on a pseudo 
random port (both client and server port) when using passive ftp.

There are two ways to solve your Problem

1. (unsafe) open all ports above 1024 so that an connection on any
   unprivileged port may be opened

2. (safe) force wget to use non-passive ftp by setting
passive_ftp = off
   in /etc/wgetrc or your $HOME/.wgetrc

Solution 2 will not work with other browsers Mozille/Netscape i.e.

I have a Fuji Finepix 1400Zoom, it has a USB interface, it came with a

Just had a look at it, but my code was already working with 7.2 it's 
definitely something broken in the 8.0 php gettext support. Thanks

[expert] bug in gettext support of php rpm?

2001-07-22 Thread Jan Dittberner

Hello,

I just tried to use the gettext support in php, but this seems to be
broken in the Mandrake 8.0 package. An strace of php running my test
script gave this:


lstat64("/var/www/locale", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) =
0
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1, 0) = 0x40016000
open("/etc/services", O_RDONLY) = 4
shmat(4, 0x1, 0x1ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
)  = ?
shmat(4, 0x2, 0x2ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
)  = ?


/var/www/locale is the directory containing translations

I tried exactly the same files (php script, translation files) on an
Mandrake 7.2 box, where it works perfectly.

Any idea?

the problem seems to lie in the RedHat patch for the quota package. I

[expert] quota problems with Mandrake 8.0

2001-07-04 Thread Jan Dittberner

same issue as in "quotas nfs-utils and Mandrake 8.0 kernel 2.4.3" 
from 21 Jun 2001 by Jason Smith. 

I've an AMD Athlon based System with 2 IBM 9.1 GB U160-SCSI harddisks.

I want to have user quota working on partitions /dev/sdb1 (/var) 
and /dev/sdb2 (/home) 

Running quotacheck on these devices doesn't create the needed files 
aquota.users and aquota.group.

I did an strace on quotacheck and discovered two strange things:

mount(umovestr: Input/output error
0, "/home", "ext2", MS_RDONLY|MS_REMOUNT|0xc0ed, 0) = 0

seems to try a mount on /home, but fails?

shmat(4, 0x80d2768, 0x2ptrace: umoven: Input/output error) = ?

this happens on a lot of files.

mount(umovestr: Input/output error
0, "/home", "ext2", MS_REMOUNT|0xc0ed, 0) = 0

trying to remount r/w also seems to have problems.

I hope somebody here can help me with this issue. I need the quota 
support urgently.

[expert] device permission/ownership problem

Hello,

I have set the ownership/permission of the

/dev/video* devices to

crw-rw   1 root  rvideo

devices.

After a reboot the devices are reset to

crw---   1 root root

How can I avoid this? Which script is responsible
for this behaviour?

[expert] SSH and X11 forwarding problem

2000-05-31 Thread Jan Dittberner

Hello,

I have a problem with openssh and X11 forwarding.

I use openssh-1.2.2 on Mandrake 7.0. X11 forwarding
is enabled in the servers /etc/sshd_config and in the
clients /etc/ssh_config.

The /home directory is mounted via nfs from a central
server.

If I connect to the ssh server (server1) via

$ ssh server1

It connects and don't report any problems about failed
X11 forwarding, but if I try to start an X-program
ie. xload it reports that authorization is wrong.

I think that the problem occurs because the .Xauthority
file is stored in the nfs mounted home directory how
can this be avoided?

Jan Dittberner

Please reply to me, because I'm not on the list (enough
traffic from cooker :-)

I had the same problem. I linked gd-1.3 statical to mrtg and
it works very well.

I think I'll switch to rrdtool soon which works with recent
gd-libs so there's no need for gd-1.3 anymore.

I got a solution for my problem. I had to set

CHECK_UNOWNED

to "no" in /etc/security/msec/security.conf, so that the Mandrake
security scripts don't set ownership to nobody. Is this documented
somewhere?

Hope someone besides me has use for this information.

The server changes the ownership back to nobody himself,

This worked, but why does the mail server set wrong ownership (nobody)
to the files, isn't this a bug?

I have problems with some Outlook clients which want
to connect to the vpop3 daemon on my Mandrake box.

They get:

"-ERR cannot open mailbox /var/spool/vmail/hostname//username"
from the server.

Is this a known problem? Is there a solution?
