Re: [SLUG] Debian fptd question
What could be stopping the ftp from working? Check your pam configuration. Is there a file "ftp" in the /etc/pam.d directory? Otherwise is the file "other" in there? Make sure that they have the correct auth settings. (look on another box or at another service like telnet for examples). I don't know different Debian is layed but other things I check in a RH/Solaris setup are, /etc/inetd.conf has the ftp line in it, (hup the inetd), then do a netstat -an and check that the server is listening on ports 20-21. /sbin/in.ftpd exists and is executable. Check that /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny aren't stopping you. (though in this case you should get connected then immediately connection closed by foreign host) /etc/hosts file or dns is setup correctly. If you put a dns entry into /etc/resolv.conf that is unreachable ftp will take ages to bring up the login prompt. The server tries to perform a reverse lookup of the client. If the DNS's are unreachable the ftp session can time out before the nameserver lookup does. If I access the server from a same client a lot I often just put the client in the hosts file and set nsswitch.conf to be files, dns.

Re: [SLUG] Lm_sensors on the Abit KT7-raid motherboard.
Q1. Same "alarms" on my KX133 EPoX board - nothing to worry about. If you look in /etc/sensors.conf, you'll see the lm_sensors team made some "rough" estimates in converting the VIA output into human readable. You can set a higher limit to prevent alarms. Q2. "SYS" is case temp 1 and "SBr" is case temp 2 (there are two mobo sensors on VIA686A boards). SYS is almost always higher because it's near the northbridge and near the processor (heat from fans). Q3. look through /etc/sensors.conf - the temp samples from lm are almost right on (verified by BIOS figures).

Hi, A little while ago I got an Abit KT7-raid... I've got lm_sensors working on it, but I dont think its working properly (or at least reporting the data). I'm attaching the output of the 'sensors' program that comes with lm_sensors. Question 1: Note how there is an "alarm" about my cpu core voltage. I would have worried about it if it was over, but because its below the limit, I didnt do anything about it. The system has been up for 27 days and still going... no stability problems so far. Can anyone shed some light on why 'sensors' is chucking a fit about the voltage? Question2: If you take a look at my temperatures... there seems to be 3 of them. This is weird because I have looked in the manual and on the motherboard and (as far as I can tell) there should only be 2... the "cpu" and the "system" temperature. Is it at all possible that lm_sensors is inventing this 3rd sensor (the "SBr" temperature)? Anyone here have a KT7 and know what the third sensor is supposed to be monitoring? Question3: Does anyone have any idea as to how lm_sensors detemines these labels.. like "cpu temp" etc? I seriously doubt that the numbers are incorrect, but I think that it might be scrambling the labels around. For example... notice that my System temperature is reported as being the 2nd highest. Doesn't logic dictate that the system temperature should be the *lowest* ? And if this "SBr" is a chip, that warrants the use of temperature monitoring, there is no way in hell that it will have a temperature lower than the system temp! (yet it seems to). Leads me to believe that 'sensors' has wrongly assigned the labels. Any ideas? This is not really a vital matter... I'm just happy to have lm_sensors actually working. But it's just getting annoying gradually. If you can help me out... then please do.

Re: [SLUG] Squid performance
Basically it depends on what people are looking at. Generally anything with cgi-bin or a ? are taken directly anlso your cache size, and how quickly things expire. You can also increase the % to continue downloading at if users hit stop. You can also set a maximum object size and a maximum cache size. Remembering that you can only cache what has been looked at before so if your users are very diverse you wont see much benefit to caching. Peer caching is good =) PCC has three proxies with 4 gig on each, each one servicing a different section, and they are all peers.

Terry I want to be able to enter and edit music on the staves. and preferrably Terry print the words underneath. Depending on how complex your music is, I'd suggest either abc or lilypond. abc is more stable, and is very good for stuff with a single line of melody and a single line of lyrics; lilypond can do amlmost anything but is fairly unstable (we've gone from versions 1.3.90 to 1.3.103 in the last week) For very beautiful output, but a bitch of an input language, use musixtex. I personally use lilypond. The 1.2.17 version is the last stable version. There are .deb archives, and (I think) rpms available for it in the more-or-less standard places.

Case 2 - add gpm -k to the beginning of the startx script.
Option 2 - gpm interference turned out to be the problem.
I would be interested to know when this "problem" started, i.e which
distros are affected.
= RH6.0 wasnt affected, Suse6.0 wasn't, Suse6.4 is, Caldera 1.3 wasn't.
To me, this is a major problem and a fatal flaw in linux/X if it is
widespread.

[SLUG] printing linux/appletalk/ethernet
I have a HP Laserjet 5MP attached to an ethernet/macintosh-localtalk hardware bridge. My RH6 is on the same ethernet. Is it possible to use the HP to print from RH? Currently the HP is used by all the Macintoshes on the ethernet. Would be handy to use it for linux also. This is NOT a mac printer serving set up. It's linux printing that I want to do. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] printing linux/appletalk/ethernet
It's an Asante ... completely dumb.. not addressable to the best of my
knowledge. It takes ethernet in and apple localtalk out to the printer's
localtalk port. The macintoshes on my network see the printer as an
ethernet postscript printer which has an appletalk address.
The printer itself also has parallel ports, but the manual doesn't discuss
the concept of a mac and pc using the same printer.

More details on the bridge please? brand?, model?
Is this "bridge" directly attached to the printer in some way?
Like a MIO card or onto the parallel port?
Does it have an IP address? If so, can you telnet or ftp to it?

[SLUG] Setting SUSE_DOC_HOST
Can anyone tell me where Suse6.4 sets the variable SUSE_DOC_HOST?
The installation has stuffed up the on-machine documentation system and
always goes looking for a DOC_HOST with the browser at localhost. As
near as I can understand it, because this variable is set,
/usr/bin/hilfe defaults to looking for a www server and because Suse
hasn't sent resolv.conf properly, I end up looking at www.localhost.com
rather than any help files.

The last Ashante I played with was only IPX and had no TCP/IP (I didn't
take in whether it talked localtalk to Macs). That was a cigarette box
size and it plugged into the parallel port.
The printer itself also has parallel ports, but the manual doesn't discuss
the concept of a mac and pc using the same printer.
If the parallel port is free, a similar box that talks (tcp/ip, ipx,
netbeui) will cost from $110 upwards and allow your linux box to print
to the printer.
I'm highly biased towards the Axis brand in printer servers.

then just keep retrying until the mirror gets back in sync

the mirrors tend to get the Packages.gz list and the actual package
