Linux (kernel 2.x.x, pppd 2.2.0) Alcune premesse Nelle spiegazioni che seguono, si parte dal presupposto che il modem sia collegato alla porta seriale /dev/cua0 (Com1 per Dos/Windows). Se il modem fosse collegato a un'altra porta seriale, occorre sostituire cua0, in tutto il testo che segue, con il corretto numero di porta seriale (cua1 per Com2, cua2 per Com3, ecc.). Nello script proposto è inoltre configurato il numero Tin.it Rtg di Roma: 0650519904. Ovviamente, è necessario sostituire questo numero con quello del Pop Tin.it che si vuole chiamare. La velocità Dte-Dce proposta nel seguito è 57.600 bps. Può essere modificata in base alla porta seriale, al modem e al computer. Di seguito sono riportati i file da creare e/o configurare, dove, al posto di [username] bisogna sostituire il proprio username di accesso e, al posto di [password], la propria password di accesso. AUTENTICAZIONE CON PAP Passi da seguire: creare lo script da eseguire per stabilire la connessione, che si può chiamare per esempio tinppp: bisogna ricordarsi di renderlo eseguibile: chmod u+x tinppp; configurare /etc/ppp/pap-secrets; eseguire tinppp (/tinppp se si è nella directory dove risiede il file tinppp). 1) file tinppp (rwx--): setserial /dev/cua0 spd_hi cd /usr/sbin pppd connect \ /usr/sbin/chat -v -t60 atx3 OK \ atdt0650519904 CONNECT /dev/cua0 57600 debug kdebug 4 modem \ crtscts defaultroute user [username] 2) file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (rw---): # Secrets for authentication using PAP # client server secret IP addresses [username] * [password] Alternativamente, nello scripttinppp, in luogo di user [username] si può utilizzare l'opzione +ua [file], dove [file] è un file con username,rigavuota,password,rigavuota .

[newbie] Reverse DNS?
I've been trying to transfer mail with fetchmail but having a recurring problem. I connect with kppp, telling it to use the remote DNS servers, and then launch a konsole window to run fetchmail. Fetchmail connects to the servers fine, but appears to try to perform some sort of reverse DNS check on each mail, flushing each one from the local cache. I presume it's trying to use a local nameserver. Can anyone help? This problem is forcing me to continue using windoze for my e-mail. Cheers. James.
[newbie] Reinstalling linux on dual scsi machine
OK, I had Mandrake 6.0 working all fine and good on my box that was running with intels l440gx+ motherboard that basically has everything built in including a adaptec AIC7896 scsi controller with RAIDport III support(which doesn't work in linux). So in order to geta RAID functional, I obtained a compatible I20 compliant RAID card (DPT PM1554U2 Decade SMARTRaid V controller) and am trying to reinstall linux onto it. I have gotten the custom linux installation to recognize both scsi controllers, but now it does not seem to find the builtin ethernet(intel etherexpress pro 100), nor can it install the bootloader or create a boot floppy. It has no problem installing the packages to the hard drive on the adaptec controller, nor does it have a problem with mounting the RAID(4 9gig hd RAID level 5). I don't know if I need to use the supplementary disk, but I am even having trouble locating the image for those disks. I also have tried several combinations with the settings for both controllers but have not had any success. Does anyone have any ideas to get this machine working? Travis

what does your /etc/resolv.conf look like? also, why use fetchmail? won't kmail or something else work for you? jason -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 1999 5:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Reverse DNS?

Re: [newbie] shuting down by ord. user..
shutdown -a only checks to see if an authorized user is logged in. It doesn't check to make sure that the user who hit ctrl+alt+del IS that authorized user. This would work fine for a machine where only one person was logged in, but how would it react to say, root being logged in remotely. Matt Stegman wrote: Personally, I liked the idea about parsing /etc/shutdown.allow for the user. GAWK is one way to do that, grep is another. I think a better way would be to use shutdown with -a. How about this instead: #!/bin/sh # Shoutdown computer if user is allowed, logout if not. shutdown -ah now || logout Pretty small, but I think it does the same thing, and just lets "shutdown" handle checking the username. -Matt
Re: [newbie] Linux on your laptop
I have seen this, I was just wondering if anyone had made a clean install on my specific machine. I'll probably dive in and give it a go anyway, but I was curious if anyone had blazed the trail.

Re: [newbie] Linux on your laptop
Check out 'http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/' for a more extensive list. The linux.org page seems a bit out of date. On another note, the 2540CDS is most likely the same as the 2545CDS. Toshiba normally distinguishes between direct-sale and retail 'versions' by using a 5 for the last digit of the 'retail model'. Also, the 2545XCDT should only differ in that it has an active matrix screen. - Theo bgf wrote: I have seen this, I was just wondering if anyone had made a clean install on my specific machine.

it shouldn't matter as long as you are using rawrite to write the image to the disk. so are you using 'rawrite' from the dosutils folder to create the disk? - Original Message - From: Amit Khandelwal [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 1999 3:13 PM Subject: [newbie] boot disk i'm tryin gto install linux for teh first time and i have the image-ISO file stored on a CD-R that i burned. i tried to download the boot.img file to stick on a floppy disk, but the image file is 1.4MB and every disk that i have formatted and tried comes to 1.38MB--there is some whacked file that is taking up the space, but i can't delete it. i have tried 10 disks.. does anyone know how i can circumvent this problem. in addition, once/if i get the boot.img file, what do i do next? thanks for the help
Re: [newbie] LILO problems
Go ahead and finish the install despite the boot disk and LILO not working, and use loadlin to boot Linux. Then you can go 'head and try installing LILO or making a boot disk manually. If you still can't, you may have to use loadlin indefinitely... if so, I'd suggest editing the msdos.sys on your Windows partition to change BOOTGUI=1 to BOOTGUI=0, and making a batch file with a short name to run the right loadlin command. That way when DOS boots it won't load Windows, and you can type win to load Windows, or the name of your batch file for loadlin to load Linux... almost as fast as choosing OSes as a LILO prompt. You can make a startup menu (similar to the F8 menu) in which you can choose DOS, Windows, or Linux. You can even make it default to a choice after a certain period of time. This is done in config.sys. If you don't want to mess with config.sys, you can do something similar in autoexec.bat.

The disk may have a capacity of 1.4MB, but with the DOS/Windows formatting only 1.38MB is available to you. You can't just copy the file to the disk. You have to rawrite it to the disk (so that the image completely overwrites everything already on the disk--including the FAT).
