[ilugd] Debian CDs ?
Hi all, Debian has seven ISO files for download ! Does anyone have any idea as to which ones should be downloaded ? I could figure out this much CD's 2 through 5 will each boot a different flavor depending on which CD-ROM is inserted. CD 1 Allows a selection of kernel images to boot from (the idepci flavor is the default if no selection is made). CD 2 Boots the 'vanilla' flavor. CD 3 Boots the 'compact' flavor. CD 4 Boots the 'idepci' flavor. CD 5 Boots the 'bf2.4' flavor. Q) Any ideas on what CD 6 - 7 - 8 contain ?

Some experiences... Client has 8 locations, including numerous factories, spread over the country. Were using NT for domain control as well as file and print services (FPS). MS got into the act, convinced them about the joys of Winduhs 2003 and got their domain controllers (DCs) upgraded to W2K3. In the meantime we'd already done most of the work to switch the FPS from NT to Linux. At the last minute (nearly) client comes to us and asks, ``Can you work with a W2K3 domain controller?''. Being the blithe spirits that we are, we searched the web, found some pointers that seemed to vaguely indicate the possibility of a chance of there being some items that could portend the peaceful co-existence of Samba and W2K3, and gave him the reply in one word, `Yes!'. Problem with W2K3 is that it only supports active directory (AD) and none of the older methods of authentication (whatever they are -- /me is no Winduhs expert). So we need a Samba that is AD aware. Lo and behold, Samba 3.0.0 (currently in final Beta) is AD aware, and Google-ification yields a few HOWTOs on how to get the two working together. OK, problem (1) solved. As long as /someone/ has got it working, we should be able to too, right? I mean, what're mailing lists, IRC channels, friends and AK-47s for if not to get you assistance with making Samba work with AD? Download, compile, test, scream, tear out hair, kill w2k3 admin because he can't properly set the one goddam registry entry that we need, find another w2k3 admin, recompile, retest, etc... you know the routine. Finally, it sort of works. Except... see, Samba has this means of automatically adding new users when they're defined on the DC but not in Linux. So we use that facility (with some 'l33t shell scripting by yours truly), but there's some conflict in the group names and permissions and whatnot, and life sucks until Supreet comes up with this weird idea: don't have Unix users at all! I look at him in dismay, thinking, ``He's really lost it this time'' and am about to suggest a long vacation, away from computers when he explains: let the password routines use Winbind to get the users. Sounds like utter cr*p to me, but we're desperate so I mangle the appropriate files, and do a getent passwd ... and Voila! here's the list of all the users on the AD server! The rest of the office is eyeing us with concern (this is at the client's office) as we go into high-fives, middle-fives, low-fives, jaffi-pa's, bhangra, balle-balles and general rejoicing. The rest of the configuration looks like a breeze... ...Until... Wait, the client also has complex access rules for his data! See, the ``folder'' Marketing belongs to the marketing group and everyone in that group has read and write access to it, only, see, the Director Projects needs to view the files in /this/ sub-folder, and the Director Finance must be able to modify the files in /this/ sub-folder and /this/ sub-folder, and... you get the idea. Linux doesn't have fine-grained filesystem access control yet (well, the new betas do, but none of the ``stable'' releases). Scratch heads (scratch patka in Supreet's case), fgrep -ir acl /usr/src/linux/Documentation with no result, try to shrug off gloom and despondency. Finally decide to bite the bullet, put our noses to the grindstone, our back to the wheel and our ear to the ground and go in for SGI's XFS. XFS is a hotsex filesystem which is going to be part of Linux 2.6, but is not available for the 2.4 series except as a patch. Rather than patch, we decide to get SGI's complete Linux kernel CVS tree for kernel 2.4.21. A few hours (170MB downloaded) and a couple of kernel compiles later we're ready to test ACLs on Linux. Bah, what testing? It's Linux, and it works as advertised. Plug ACLs into Samba, and we're ready to start testing the setup. I won't go into the details of the testing phase. Suffice it to say that it was bloody, gory and rigorous. And that it passed off without incident. Saturday (19th) night we brought the new system online. Restored from tape wherever possible -- if you restore a backup from an NT machine onto a Samba share you get the complete user, group and access control lists on each file and directory. Unfortunately some of the tapes (only worth about 10 gig of data) refuse to restore, so we have to copy those files manually from the old NT server. Next 2 hours is spent with the client's IT bossman,
RE: [ilugd] OS Sequence
Yes that surely works. What I was worried about was using Win2K and WinXP on the same box, but some RnD shows that they too can coexist. The order that you mentioned is correct. But you need to be sure of one thing, WinNT, win2K and win XP need to be on *different* partitions. This is because they all have a common set of system files and if put on the same paritition may wipe out the other.

I think you'd need to flush your mbr. There are many ways to do this. I assume you donot have any data on your disk. 1. use DOS formatted bootable floppy, or a win98 startup disk. Copy fdisk.exe on this diskette. Boot through this floppy and type fdisk /mbr. This should do the work. 2. use seagate Disk Manager to partition the disk again. This is faster and effective.

RE: [ilugd] edit oldconfig for kernel compilation
Hi, This practice might help you. In the /boot, there is almost always a config file which was used to build the currently running kernel (should be named, configxxx). Copy this file to the /usr/local/linux folder. Then use make old config, it would prompt you for the new things that are there in the new kernel. Also, you can use make xconfig or make menuconfig and load this file. What this ensures is that you have the settings and modules that are already present according to the present kernel that you are using and add only the new ones for the new kernel.

[ilugd] What does squid cache
Hi, Was just setting up a squid box and trying to figure out how it works. I am using it as a reverse proxy to sit on front of the web servers. Now my site has URLs which have a lot of gifs and pdfs but the users need to be authenticated to access this. If I use squid as reverse proxy, does it store the pdfs as just the absolute file names or the whole URL (the URL contains the authentication) ? In case it stores the absolute file name, then a person directly referring to the URL can get the file without auth, cos the squid would have the cached. Is my understanding correct, can some one validate this ? thanx -js ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
RE: [ilugd] What does squid cache
Thanx mate .. Yup that was something that was worrying me .. Cos my webserver does the auth !!! i.e. a person can get the content without getting auth, directly from the squid !!! Is there any way, like a auth setting or some network design.. In which I can use squid as a reverse proxy but still get away with this non auth thingie.. Ne ideas ?? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Prateek Khanna Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 10:44 PM To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list Subject: Re: [ilugd] What does squid cache On Jun 25 Jasmeet S.

Is my Jasmeet understanding correct, can some one validate this ? Are you authenticating using the webserver or is it squid that is doing the proxy auth. 'cos if its squid doing the proxy auth then you dont need to bother about what ie caches, it is in any case going to authenticate the guy. But if the auth is done by the webserver then you might just have somthing to worry about. - Prateek ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

RE: [ilugd] Memory management
I dun think this is the case, Windows too caches pages and u can conduct various experiments to check that. What I doubt is the reading that taskmanager shows ..may b it only show the app in use and not the cached pages, while linux does show the actual state of the memory .. Any body got any ideas on this one !! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sharninder Singh Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2003 6:22 PM To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list Subject: Re: [ilugd] Memory management let me know the reasons for this. I can send more details of the things that I did if u want. the reason is that linux has better memory caching than windows. When u start the same app again on linux it would load up from the cache and take less time to load. This is not the case with windows.

[ilugd] RPM (install/uninstall) prob
Hi Fellas, got a problem here. I have a redhat 7.2 box, up n running. Was trying to install lesstif on that, when I use rpm -ivh package name it sayz package name already installed. Its fine, but I dunt see the files that should come with package. I tried rpm -U also, but it still doesn't work. Anyways, so I tried to uninstall the thing using rpm -e package name and it sayz package name not installed. So I am kind of stuck with a faulty installation of some kind. Does anybody have any pointers to this situation ? How can I get it working again !! Thanx -js ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
