Thats why I was getting errors like module config_log_module is already loaded, skipping I commented out the include for /etc/apache/modules.conf and restarted apache-perl. Out of curiousity, why are you running apache-perl and not apache with mod_perl? I've never seen the attraction, myself (or for apache-ssl, either). I've heard speed mentioned, but I've never seen any stats to support it, so I put it in the Gentoo bucket grin. Actually I find it all very confusing sometimes. I have three machines and what I have on them is the following Debian packages: An Athlon A Laptop A Virtual Server - apache-perl apache apache-perl libapache-mod-perllibapache-mod-perl libapache-mod-perl (In Debian libapache-mod-perl is a prerequisite for apache-perl.) I also needed to manually add LoadModule auth_mysql_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_auth_mysql.so to the modules.conf file cause for some reason /usr/sbin/apache-modconf apache-perl updated modules.conf but didn't add the required line. A lack of properly formed -info file would cause apache-modconf to not see the module, I believe. The info file looked ok and it came with the libapache-mod-perl package. Later I'll have a closer look at it on each of the three machines. But now it seems the interface has changed. Even Crypt has changed to Encrypted! I think you were using a non-Debian-packaged edition of mod-auth-mysql. 3.2-1 (the version in Woody) doesn't have the AMCryptedPasswords option (Auth_MySQL_Encrypted_Passwords is the equivalent). Correct. I started off with that a few years ago - I was compiled and added in manually. At some time it got replaced with the Debian package. There's lots of different mod-auth-mysql modules out there, each with New! and Interesting! configuration directives, and mod-auth-mysql has a tortured and fractured history overall. Feed me beer at a Spice Boys meet and I'll give you the whole sorry, bitter tale. Okies - that would be interesting. I didn't realise that there were more than one. That means I should see what one is in the Debian package Package: libapache-mod-auth-mysql Maintainer: Matthew Palmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Architecture: i386 Version: 4.3.9-2 Oh !

[SLUG] drupal distributed authentication
Dear Dr. Slug, I'm considering using Drupal to build a community site, mainly for its distributed authentication feature; a user can log into a new Drupal site using their credentials from another Drupal site, as described at: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=user/help (drupal.org seems to be unreachable atm). I'm aware that other CMSs exist, and that perhaps other systems like MoveableType now have a similar feature. What I like about using Drupal is that it encourages a distributed community of members from other relevent, existing sites, such as ourmedia.org and spreadfirefox.com. So, I'm after two bits of advice from anyone who's administered Drupal, or who can convincingly impersonate a Drupal administrator: 1) Do you hate Drupal? Have you used it extensively and then switched away from it? why? 2) How hard, or not, do you have to squint to see a resemblence between a security model and Drupal's distributed authentication? For example, can I choose not to accept authentication from certain sites? and is there anything other than a distributed relaying of plaintext passwords? cheers, Conrad. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] Asterisk PBX not outputting sound
Hi all, This post went to asterisk-users, at digium mailing lists, but either my question is too dumb or those guys are too busy to help these days =) I'm having issues in getting any sound using a fresh asterisk install and a SJPhone to connect to it. I went by the instructions pointed at the 10 minute guide, located here: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+quickstart. I installed Asterisk on a Slackware 10.1, by using no more than make make install make samples. Then I proceeded with installing asterisk-addons and asterisk-sounds as suggested. The thing is, soon as I get SJPhone to connect to asterisk (which happens fine), I tried the echo service by dialing 600. Then I get: -- Executing Playback(SIP/julio-5ae7, demo-echotest) in new stack -- Playing 'demo-echotest' (language 'en') Jul 4 14:35:42 WARNING[13521]: file.c:550 ast_readaudio_callback: Failed to write frame == Spawn extension (default, 600, 1) exited non-zero on 'SIP/julio-5ae7' On my SJPhone I can see that sound is being sent (the sound indicator bar), but nothing is coming back to me.

The commands you send to the device are long and horrible, and I find it's a lot easier to put all the commands in a script. There are a lot of problems with the driver when it comes to changing settings once you've set them, so the first thing you need is unload and reload the drivers into the kernel with a: rmmod prism2_usb modprobe prism2_usb Right now it'll have the driver loaded, but you won't be able to do anything with it. You'll need to enable the device so you can start sending commands to it. wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable So now you'll be able to tell the card what you want it to do.

The template I have been given is a GUI type that asks for information and, when complete does something and tells you/displays a message. As a dedicated command line user and an equally dedicated avoider of Microsoft, I am somewhat stuck. Can anyone, please, suggest an application that will do what I have been requested? If it's something simple you're after, what about dialog or its variations (I prefer Xdialog).
