Re: [SLUG] Can Apache do line by line output of PHP stuff?
Terry,
There is some debugging settings in PHP4 that let you setup a debugging port (IIRC)
PHP is dead easy to get DB interaction happening.
Your output is a bit weird, If you want a hand in debugging, im happy to help.

[SLUG] Running PPP over ssh.
With all this cool routing talk I thought I would share my experiance with getting PPP to run over ssh to a network behind a firewall. Bit of a mini howto of a mini howto. There were a few things which I stumbled on. What I have is a machine on a network, lets call it 10.0.0.100 behind a firewall which we will call 203.0.0.5. The firewall does port forwarding of port 22 (ssh) from 203.0.0.5 to 10.0.0.100. So you ssh onto 203.0.0.5 and end up on 10.0.0.100. As a side note the firewall will only do this port forward and therfore allow ssh for one source IP address, mine. Don't want everyone hammering your sshd. So I found the Firewall Piercing Howto at http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Firewall-Piercing.html and started to follow its instructions (well there wern't any really). I compiled the required cotty program that lets you connect to terminals together, or in this case two ppp sessions. There was an example command line of cotty -d -- pppd silent 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2 \ -- ssh -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] pppd Of course I tried that and nothing worked, so what did I have to do? First of all make sure that you can ssh into the remove machine without having to enter the password. This means you will have to use RSA authentication for ssh. On my machine I ran ssh-keygen and then copied the line from .ssh/identity.pub into the file .ssh/authorized_keys on the remote server. Another thing that would not work was pppd, firstly you could only run it as root, I added myself to the group but it still needed other things, so I ended up using root at both ends. I had to set PermitRootLogin to yes in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config at the remote end to get it to allow you to come in as root. The pppd on both machines also wanted to do authentication so I had to set the noauth option to the pppd command line. Now I was able to run the tunnel via cotty -- pppd 10.0.0.101:10.0.0.102 noauth \ -- ssh -t -l root 203.0.0.5 pppd noauth This uses 10.0.0.101 as the local end and 10.0.0.102 as the remote end, I just picked two addresses that were not in use. Last thing to do was add a static route on the local machine for the remote network, telling it to use the new interface which was just created. /sbin/route add -net 10.0.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 ppp0 You then have to make sure that ip_forward is set to 1 on the remote machine so it will forward packets onto the other machines as they come in over the ppp session. The local machine now looks like 10.0.0.101 on the remote network and 10.0.0.100 does a proxyarp for that address so all the other machines on the network knows that where to send packets for it (well sort of). Once that was done I could ping any of the machines on the 10.0.0.x range, the trafic would flow over the encrypted link and onto the internal network. I can happly do anything remotely that I could internally (telnet, web, ftp), as long as it uses TCP/IP. I have not been able to get smbmount to work yet. Enjoy.

Sorry to post again to the list on this, but I just received about 10 replies, I only just posted it and most of them ask the same questions, so I'll answer them on the list, so many more people don't ask. I'm in Sydney's eastern suburbs, in Kingsford, about 10 minutes walk from UNSW, to give you a fairly precise idea. I'm selling it because I use my computer a LOT, and I like it to run fast, compile fast, and play games fast. I'm upgrading to a really nice new AMD system with double the ram, RAID support onboard, a GeForce 2, etc. I'd like to keep it for use as a firewall/print server/apache etc box but I need help with my upgrade costs. I will not be ready to part with it until I've finished putting my new system together, I expect about a week to ten days from now. Apparently I undervalued it a fair bit... I'll sell it to the highest offer below $600 or the first firm offer of $600.

Guys, please do not say things like that without first asking for the reason behind this. The reason is as follows: Rpm v4 uses the latest database mechanism (db-3.???) this makes it incompatible with prior versions. If you (like I did) recompile rpm v4 from scratch you will find that it asks for the Berkeley db-3.??? database stuff. Once you jump through the hoops you get an rpm binary that upgrades your old db-2.??? files. But then again this is where the fun starts: All the new RH rpms cause problems with the old stuff because they have made some major changes in setups, etc which I find really painful.

[SLUG] Linux box for sale
If it's heinously off topic to post this, please let me know and I'll go sit in the corner for a while. I couldn't see anything specifically against fs postings in the FAQ, and since it's a linux box it seems at least vaguely topic related. I'm looking to get rid of my old PII linux box fairly shortly (in a week or so). It comes with a current woody installation (Gnome/E), with a 2.4.0-test10 kernel with drivers for the video card set up. It is just a box (no monitor), but has: Minitower Abit BH6 Motherboard (1xAGP, 5xPCI, 2xISA, 3 DIMM slots, USB) PII 333 (runs rock solid @ 350 (3.5 x FSB100) - no multiplier lock) 1 x 128MB DIMM Hyundai PC100 SDRAM (running at CAS 2) AGP TNT2 16 MB Quantum fireball 6.4 GB IDE HD Panasonic 30x CDROM SoundBlaster 16 PnP (ISA) It's not a bad box, with fair quality gear in it. It does fairly well for running Quake 3 Arena (under linux of course) for example. I have no idea really what is a fair price for a box like this. I'd be very happy to sell it for about $500, but will sell it for less if that proves to be ridiculously optimistic on my part. cheers, -- Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

Hi, the way you have phrased your question makes it almost completely impossible for anyone to help you. How many "systems" (boxes?) do you have? What are they running now? What do you want to use them for after you have Linux on them? What is your level of experience with computing? with linux/unix? Even after you answer these kinds of questions, it is unlikely anyone can "guide you through" via email, the amount of information a typical linux newbie needs is just too large. If you give us some idea of what you know and what you are trying to do, perhaps someone can give you some pointers on how to start, where to go for information, etc. Personally, if you are really new to linux, I would suggest you get someone to do the first install with you who already knows linux. You might be able to get a friend to do this, or go to an installfest, or even pay someone to do it for you. I'd suggest you think about Mandrake or Debian as distribution choices (Mandrake if you have a low level of computer skills/interest, Debian if high) and if you are really keen to do it yourself, try a comprehesive tome like Debian/Gnu Linux Unleashed, or an equivalent Red Hat book for Mandrake. A good source of information is irc, if you have several computers and can keep one up and connected to the net while you install on another, but you should use irc when you are at a harder problem and are stuck, not just for asking general questions like the one in your mail. I'd suggest you use this mailing list in generally the same way. cheers, -- Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

It is not a rumour. I thought it had already been posted to this list.

[SLUG] networking interface questions
Hi, I got a small problem of which im not sure how to go about it. Say we have 2 links to different providers coming in to a machine. The current situation is that mail comes in and gets sent through link1 (using sendmail) I would like for mail to come in though link1 and get delivered through link2 (that way, incoming traffic through link2 is minimized). (note that i seem to use the term link to mean interface - ethernet etc below) Can this be done with the default route pointing at link2? Wouldnt there be a problem with this since if mx record points through link1, then when trying to commununiicate with a client through link2 the machine would source the packets to appear to come from link2 and hence the client would not recognise the packets. Is there a way to tell linux to source outgoing packets with the address of the link that it came in from? I believe the problem can be solved by having another sendmail machine but i dont want to do this unless theres no other way. Can ipchains help? Or a NAT device? Any help or suggestions on this matter? In the end, the objective is to minimize incoming traffic going through link2 Regardss../ Wal -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] RPM Fun - Solved.
Hi Guys, Thanks a bunch for your suggestions, upgrading to RPM 3.0.6 solved my problem. I would of never considered this process. Hehe sendmail is complaining about compiling with missing header files, and as Dave correctly pointed out the compiled RPM version complains about glibc. No matter I'll figure it out. I found it quite frustrating in Redhat's approach in upgrading RPM, as another person pointed out, probably to prompt more sales.

Agreed, in fact it seemed quite deliberate and sinister, and in line
with the general RedHat approach, which seems to aim to sell people the
new versions when they upgrade. This was, more than anything else, what
prompted me to switch to Debian. The upgrading is easier, more rational,
and this kind of rubbish just doesn't seem to happen.
cheers,

Try that. I'd love to meet the moron who did this! I got caught in the same trap AND rpm-3.0.5 gave the same error. I gave up and decided to wait for it to turn up on the SuSE site in their upgrades for 6.4 section - I did not think any Linux people could be such morons as to wrap a new version of the rpm software with itself - it should have been wrapped with 3.0.3 so it could easily be upgraded. Really gives DOS and Mac people a good laugh at our expense.

At this point I have two comments.
The fix -iirc- is to install rpm v3.0.5 or later which is compatable with
rpm's v4.
rpm -Uvh rpm-{version}.rpm
The other is that making a totally incompatible major change to
something like RPM is a,IMO, Micro$oftian thing to do. Ho hum.
