Re: [SLUG] seg fault in passwd, can I 'rpm passwd' ?

2003-09-10 Thread Jamie Wilkinson
how can I 'verify' the pam_stack.so ?

rpm -Vf /lib/security/pam_stack.so I think

 Whats the procedure in Debian with regards to the packaging system when 
 you install a more up to date version that isn't available in apt-get ? 
 I can just remove the existing xpdf-reader but are there other options?

See if you can get a backport of the unstable version.  There's a versioned
dependency (on libfreetype6) which will break an attempt to build it direct.

Aaah, bugger it, just go to http://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/backports and
pick up the debs from there.  Impromptu backport.  If it breaks, tell me all
about it so I can have a good laugh, but don't expect support.  All the
other dependencies can be satisfied from stable with apt-get.  No, I'm not
going to do an apt-get repository for it.  I won't be leaving the packages
there permanently.

Basically, installing things outside of the package management system into
anywhere other than /usr/local will annoy the hell out of dpkg.  It's best
to keep everything within the packaging system, because that way you can
track everything easily, and satisfy dependencies - and building debian
packages is pretty simple.  But you can always put stuff into /usr/local,
and play with equivs and symlinks to satisfy dependencies if necessary.

I have not got a backport yet. I gather you get a deb from testing or 
unstable and try an apt-get install of it?
AS for building direct the xpdf I got from foolabs worked fine. The 
download pages says whats needed for a compile. It needed t1lib-bin, 
t1lib-dev and I already had t1lib1, then I added freetype2. Compiles and 
it runs as ./xpdf from where I built it.

 Aaah, bugger it, just go to http://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/backports and
 pick up the debs from there.

No, you take the source code from sid and build it on a woody system.

 -- PPC archecture here I am using :-) But that deb at your site will be

Oh well, I've put the necessary source up now at the same spot.  You'll want
to do the following:

1) Untar freetype_2.1.4-4.tar.gz
2) cd freetype-2.1.4
3) Ensure all the build-deps are installed (see debian/control for that)
4) debian/rules binary
5) cd ..
6) Install libfreetype6 and libfreetype6-dev
7) Untar xpdf_2.02pl1-1.tar.gz
8) cd xpdf-2.02pl1
9) Ensure all the other build deps are installed (lesstif2-dev doesn't exist
in woody; use libmotif-dev instead)
10) debian/rules binary
11) cd ..
12) Install whatever gets you excited.

Do that on your PPC machine and you'll have some nice happy xpdf packages to
install.

[SLUG] Exim and root mail

2003-09-10 Thread David Fisher
Hi,

I have 2 machines I am remotely administering for which I want exim to
only send root mail.  I do not want it to accept any mail from other
hosts, which is always only spam and ends up getting frozen for the
lack of a local part.

The root mail is to go to my ordinary user account on the machines, from
where it is handled by a .forward to my account on my home machine.

I am looking for the config to stop exim accepting external mail but so
far cannot find it.

Can anyone give a quick answer, or point me to where I should be
rtfm-ing?

TIA,

Re: [SLUG] Installing a verion of xpdf later than my Debian stable version

 In this case xpdf is not needed for anything i.e. nothing depends on it 
 so it's easy to remove.
 If there were things that needed a pdf viewer that would be more 
 troublesome. Certainly I gather doing an install over the top of an 
 existing package would confuse the packaging system.

(In this case) I would just install xpdf from upstream source into
/usr/local/ and remove the xpdf-reader package.

If you found something that depended on xpdf-reader, you could just
install it again and have both versions (the old .deb and the new
/usr/local version) simultaneously installed - provided you put
/usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in $PATH everything should just work.

/usr/local exists for a reason, not everything has to be done through
packages ;)

[SLUG] Automated secretary anyone?

2003-09-10 Thread Grant Parnell - EverythingLinux
Below's just some thoughts I had last night inspired by the fact I can 
spend a day at the office being really busy but can't remember where the 
time's gone and often forget important stuff. Like a lot of small 
businesses we can't afford a secretary to keep us in line. Does anybody 
have a clue if there's something like this already? It's not exactly 
something I can easily think up a search for. Although I tried and found 
mostly Windows stuff that wasn't really close enough to what I had in 
mind.

Automatic time tracker / secretary
==

Keeping tabs on you
---
* pops up and asks what you're doing every 15 mins to which you give a one 
or two word response EG phoning Tom
* if no response checks least idle terminal every half hour  sends 
message to it
* if terminal idle for 2 hours but email gets sent, send an email
* email says what are you up to? to which you reply with a short 
explanation
* if it can't find you, when you're back it asks what were you up to 
between xx and yy time?
* perhaps impliment a jabber bot
* perhaps in future provide an SMS gateway

Reminding you
-
* things scheduled for certain times  dates should pop up when due and/or 
when the reminder time is set.
* Frequency of reminders based on how responsive you appear
(eg, no point telling you something's on in 5 minutes if you're not 
listening).

Summaries 
- 
* Should provide you a timesheet of what's happened each day which should
be filled in  returned.
* Should provide weekly  monthly timesheet/reports

Ingredients
---
SQL database for schedules  event logs
A reminder daemon - lets you know what's on
A contact daemon - keeps track of the best way to contact you and provides 
a communication channel for other programs
A command processor - when info comes back from the contact daemon it must 
be interpreted either in the context of a reply or a new command.

EG You should be able to send an email to the secretary with something 
like Schedule meeting 9am with Tom and it will know that since it's 10am 
at time of writing you mean the next working day and the meeting's at your 
office. If it doesen't understand it can email you some examples and ask 
for clarification.

[SLUG] scanning, 'copyshop' app ?

2003-09-10 Thread voytek
I'm trying to set up an HP scanner on RH7.3

*if* I run xsane as root, xsane warns me of dire consequences of doing so, and, if I 
accept these risks, it just runs

*if* I try to run xsane as a user, I get 'no device present'

I've symlinked /dev/sc0 to /dev/scanner and set rwxrwxrwx
as root, I can access scanner as either device

(hmmm, perhaps I need to chmod /dev/sc0 and not symlink... /dev/scanner, perhaps 
that's where I went rwong... don't have access to it right now to test)

also:
is there a CopyShop like scanner app for scanning pages for fax or imaging, from my 
brief look at xsane, it seems it more amed at image/single page scanning, or have I 
missed something ?

I've symlinked /dev/sc0 to /dev/scanner and set rwxrwxrwx

I solved this on my computer by creating a *drc file in ~/.sane/xsane

In my case this is Acer:FlatbedScanner__4.drc

This was just a straight copy of the file that was in the 
/root/.sane/xsane directory.

I don't know if there is a better solution or a better (common) 
location for the file so that I don't have to create it for each user.

(hmmm, perhaps I need to chmod /dev/sc0 and not symlink...
/dev/scanner, perhaps that's where I went rwong... don't have access

Sorry, that I don't know. xsane does have buttons for fax and copy 
modes, but I have never tried to set them up.

free.gordontower.com.

Since the beginning of the month, 17 (total for both slug and

[SLUG] How to install Pie-menus and RadialContext in Mozilla

2003-09-10 Thread Michael Lake
Hi all,

I wanted to just see what these pie-menus were like mwith Mozilla. The 
page for it is at: http://optimoz.mozdev.org/piemenus/

Well that has an install link which only works if you have started 
Mozilla as root. Its an xpi extension but if you save it you just get 
the web page, nothing to install. You have to click the link so it can 
install it for you and hold your hand. Googling finds lots of links to 
how to install pie menus. Here is a typical one
the actions you perform will have no effect until you install 
RadialContext yourself (simple if you are root, as always). 
Brilliant ! I am not going to do that.

How do I get and install this thing? Anyone done it?

[SLUG] Mailing list anti-spam suggestions

2003-09-10 Thread Grant Parnell
Just a thought, since you're passing the emails through possibly a number 
of filters, can you include in the headers the results of these scans. EG 
 x-slug-spamassasin:  
 x-slug-scanner-x:
 x-slug-amavis: suspect {ok this is probably redundant}
 x-slug-member-status: non-member
 x-slug-tmda-status: confirmed

This way people can adjust their own tolerance levels in their own 
filters quite trivially.

Another suggestion, is something a customer of mine asked me to finish 
implimenting. http://www.tmda.net with an auto-white-list facility. 

Basically you send an email, it asks you to confirm you're a real person
by replying to the special email address, when you reply it forwards the
orgiginal email and adds you to the white-list. This would mean that every
time you post from an new email address that's not the one you subscribed
with, you must confirm it, thereafter it just lets you send without
confirmation.

While bogofilter is probably a damn ghood idea, it doesn't address the
vast majority of users who probably have one machine connected to their
ISP, and their spam email downloads count toewards there monthly limit.

I can see what Richard is saying - if we can't stop it at the source
(i.e. the slug server), then you need something that can delete spam
BEFORE it leaves your ISP.

Jon

P.S. And I know I can't do this with my isp, which is why I'm changing
!!
