NIS is broken in Debian 1.3!
Hello, I asked this once and I got no answers. I know there's at least one more person in this list with the same problem but we've been unable to solve it. The problem: With the lattest versions (unstable) of everything, the NIS clients are unable to read the maps from the NIS server. No errors are reported, the ypbind daemon seems to run well, even ypcat -x returns the proper answer, but the fact is, the client can't see the server's user accounts, groups or aliases files. NOTE: In my configuration, the NIS server is Debian 1.3 with two clients, one Debian 1.2 and one Debian 1.3. The lattest has never worked but the former was just running ok ... until I installed Debian 1.3. I don't believe I have any problem with my configuration (all the + entries in the passwd, group and aliases files) and the ypbind daemon connects just fine to the server. So, Does anybody have a NIS installation running ok with Debian 1.3? I would appreciate if any one can help me figure out what's going on. -- Pedro I.

Re: Help: Problem in setting up network
On Sun, 1 Jun 1997 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying to connect my compute to a LAN in the lab. The network card (NE2000 IRQ 03 0x300) works fine and is detecked by the kernel. After setting up all the stuff (/etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/sysconf/network, ...), it still cann't recognize other computer when I use 'ping'. However, I noticed that when setting up, there is a message saying there is something wrong with 'SIOCADDRT'. And in file /proc/net/arp, all the hosts (gateways, nameserver) all have hw-address to be 00 00 00 00 . So, what is the problem? If you can't ping any hosts, your network interface probably doesn't work properly. If your kernel detects the presence of a network card, that doesn't necessarily mean that the kernel can make the card work. The error message with SIOCADDRT is a clear sign of such a problem. Also, by setting the ether card, the mouse doesn't work anymore. Is this because of the ether card (IRQ 3)? is there any utility to detech this problem? You have a interrupt conflict between your ne2000 and serial port. They both try to own irq 3. Since it is generally very hard to reassign the serial port irq, you'll have to try to reassign the ne2000 irq. This might be as easy as changing a jumper or running a setup program on the driver diskette that is included by the manufacturer (unfortunately, these often require you to be able to boot into dos.) Sometimes you need to remove the interrupt conflict before you can reprogram the ne2000. In that case, you have to temporarily disable the serial port in your bios setup (or move the ne2000 to a machine that will allow you to do so if this one doesn't.) Maybe the card is plug-'n-pray. In that case check out the isaplugnplay package. Good luck, Joost -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Re: Debian quality
On Jun 1, Randy Edwards wrote I read a fragment of one message somewhere that 1.3 is actually in the frozen subdirectory; is that true? If I were to make my dselect point at stable, non-free, contrib, and frozen would that cause the upgrade? Or should I wait until it's moved from frozen to stable (anyone know if/when that'll be?)? Yes, the 1.3 release candidate is held under the 'frozen' directory. But since Debian 1.3 should be released during the coming week, I'd say wait until frozen gets moved to stable. Because of the way dpkg/dselect is currently built, you will probably need to cycle a few times between Install (for the 'unpacking' phase) and Configure (for the 'configure' phase) to get everything installed. Anything that isn't fixed by running install/configure again is very probably a bug and should be reported as such, or at least discussed on the Debian mailing lists. (We can't fix it if we don't know about it.) But Debian 1.3 has seen quite a bit more testing than 1.2, so the upgrade should go fairly smoothly (if not very smoothly).

Re: Why not swap to files?
It's my understanding that the overhead of the filesystem (ext2, or whatever you have) as opposed to writing to a raw partition, is the advantage of dedicating a partition for swap. I usually just find a smaller drive that's laying around not doing anything and make it the swap drive ... this machine uses a 250 MB Quantum SCSI that was laying around after a friend upgraded his Mac. I also had the impression that putting the swap aprtition at the beginning of a drive resulted in better performance. Btw, one of the latest README-s (sorry, I don't remember which one) said that using a RAID0 device for swap was no longer a performance gain due to changes in the swapon code.

What happened to seyon and xoj?
Because I keep a (very) partial mirror of Debian on a machine at work (which is not Net connected), particularly the Packages files, I track changes to the Packages files closely. Recently I've noticed at least 2 packages have disappeared from the pre-hamm distribution. They've stayed that way for days so it's not just a mirror sync problem. The seyon package no longer exists in the non-free section, and grepping through bo's Contents file doesn't find it either. It is in hamm/non-free/comms/seyon_2.14c-4.deb, and according to the package information depends on libc5 and not libc6. Why does it no longer exist in the stable/frozen version of non-free? The xoj package also no longer exists in bo/binary/games, though the Contents file for bo still shows it. There is a version of xoj in unstable/binary/games/xoj_1.01-2.deb, but it depends on libc6 so it can only be used on an hamm system. Why did the libc5 dependent version disappear from bo? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: shadow-login - shadow: how?
On Jun 1, Karl M. Hegbloom wrote I installed the shadow stuff from experimental a while back, and now I'd like to move to the newer shadow suite with 1.3.

Re: Networking Win95, Debian Linux and Cable Modem
1) If you don't have the IP masquerading howto, I mirror the Linux Documentation Project at http://www.wtop.com/LDP/ 2) I use the following setup to get around the above: a) I run apache on the Linux box that is connected to the Internet with cached proxy service enabled. This allows the other machines to be booted to Linux or win and access web documents with a common cache. Netscape seems to run better with a local cache, but now I can delete it at will since the reload is at ethernet(not internet) speed. This even works with secure(https) documents. b) For other services, I telnet to the connected box and run from there. If you need to get files for dos/win, run samba on the linux box and put the files into the 'shared' directory. If you do this with a local login, you can be transferring files to/from your 'X:' drive even while that crappy Microsoft OS is crashing and rebooting.

Re: What happened to seyon and xoj?
don't know about seyon, but
The xoj package also no longer exists in bo/binary/games, though the
Contents file for bo still shows it. There is a version of xoj in
unstable/binary/games/xoj_1.01-2.deb, but it depends on libc6 so it
can only be used on an hamm system. Why did the libc5 dependent
version disappear from bo?
xoj_1.01-1.deb, the one that depended on libc5, was miscompiled
by the debian maintainer (about 3 bugs filed against that package,
over a 6 month perioud, I think), and finaly he decided to recompile
it. As the libc5 version simply doesn't work, I guess the powers
that be decided (wisely) to remove it from bo.
In short, there hasn't been a working xoj package for the last
6 or so months (except maybe if you had _very_ old libc5 stuff), and the
xoj-..-2 one is the first working one.

Re: alien, xfree86, and other bugs
If only bug fixes could be allowed in, this would be a good idea. Unfortunately, this isn't a practical possibility. Every time a new package is uploaded to fix a bug, there is the possibility of introducing new bugs either in the patch code, other code that got added for some reason, or even in the packaging itself. At some point, there just isn't time for the testing group to validate new package before release. At least twice I've had to remove simple major bug fixes because they were compiled against libc6 from hamm. I see your point. But could there be another solution (at least for a periods of major distribution changes like a.out-elf and libc5-libc6)? I thouhgt of having in addition of stable, unstable, and frozen distributions the one called, say, unsupported. This distribution could be used for uploading all the bugfixes in stable, including even new upstream bugfix releases. They will surely be tested after the upload and, after sufficient time could become the part of debian 1.3.9 or something like that. One of the major problems with this is who is going to test it. If the vast majority of the developers (which includes the testing group) have already moved over to the new (libc6) system, then who is going to do the rigorous testing on the unsupported packages? Also, ideally all new release-ready packages should be built and tested on a system that only uses released packages. Since developers will be tracking the unstable tree, such systems are difficult to come by. This makes bug-fixing more complicated as well. It would be also a big deal to me (and I think I am not alone) to have a libc5 version of the coming Xfree86 3.3 release there. This would allow the users with previously unsupported videocards to have the X istalled along with much more stable the rest of the distribution. X is so big and has so many bugs that I don't think this is possible. To do this would involve putting a large amount of effort that, in my opinion, would be better spent towards improving the version in Hamm. I agree that it would be nice to support the extra video cards, but there is nothing stopping users from upgrading to the X packages in Hamm. Libc5 and libc6 coexist quite nicely from a user's point of view, so having an X server from Hamm based on libc6 and everything else from Bo should not be a problem. Having a user track X from Hamm will also probably mean better support and faster response than tracking a parallel version in Bo. Brian ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) --- Generated by Signify v1.02.

Possible bug in libc6...
Hello. I recently upgraded to libc6 (dev,dbg, pic, etc) using the
package from the hamm directory. (I realize this is VERY unstable
stuff - I'm just glutton for punishment :-) Everything appears to be
working well, although I have hit two minor snags.
The first is that the new version of amd (am-utils-6.0a5) won't
compile with libc6, but it will with libc5. No big deal - just
thought I'd mention it.
The other is that I noticed in the large system I'm developing, test
runs where I would generally get core dumps, I'm getting infinite
hangs. Looking into this a little further, I developed the following
test case:
[ begin included source ]
#include signal.h
#include stdlib.h
int flag;
void catch_core_dumps( int ){
if( flag == 1){
exit(-1);
}
else if ( flag == 2 ){
signal( SIGSEGV, SIG_DFL );
}
}
int
main( int argc, char *argv[] ){
flag = argc;
signal( SIGSEGV, catch_core_dumps );
int *foo = (int *)0;
*foo = 1;
}
[ end included source ]
Basically, when you run this program, depending on the number of
arguments you get it, it does different things.
No arguments, it calls exit. Good enough.
One argument, it resets the signal handler, and a core dump is
generated. Again, good enough.
More than one argument, under libc5 and solaris, a core dump is
generated. Under libc6, I get an infinite hang. Is this because
doing nothing is undefined, or is it a bug. Anyone running
glibc-2.0.4 - if so, does it still do this? I.e. is this worth
submitting as a bug report?
Thanks,
Dale

Sometimes I get underscores here and there ... Now, here's the wierd part. This almost never happens with CRT. It does happen with F-Secure's SSH, almost every time.

Re: postgres can't find libbsd.so.1.0.0 - where / how
OK, I went and searched each of the archives for the last 9 months, starting last Nov. and in the May (april? - near the end of the search, anyway - natch)archives I found the answer, I need to download 6.0 from the postgres site and compile. Is there a cleaner way? should I place the entire build in /usr/local so I can blow it away when the debian postgres becomes usable and I can manage upgrades easily? Hello, postgres and postmaster both can't find libbsd.so.1.0.0, and I can't find this in Contents.

Problems with X
Howdy, y'all. Before I explain the problem, let me provide a little background. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to upgrade my system from 1.2 to 1.3. Rather than just switching to the frozen directory and upgrading packages, I did a full install to see if I could help test the new distribution. Things went well until I got to X. Unfortunately for me, I had forgotten to save off my working XF86Config file, so I went ahead and generated a new on using the nice vga16 method. The newly generated config file didn't work. X would start with no errors, but tty7 was blank. I thought that maybe I had specified the wrong parameters for my monitor, so I verified those in /usr/doc/X11/Monitors and made some minor adjustments in XF86Config. I got the same result; tty7 was blank. I then decided to try the old tty version of xf86config and regenerated the XF86Config file. Once again, the same result. I now must admit to being stumped. I would appreciate any and all help. I'm including the output from startx, and the Device, Monitor, and Screen sections from /etc/XF86Config.

Re: Problems with X
hi Lamar, I had something similar happen to me. The problem is in your /etc/X11/Xserver file the last line should contain the following: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X The reason why you are not getting anything on tty7 is that you are not starting your xserver.

When I put it into /etc/X11/Xserver, it seems to have no effect, and even when I add it to xdm/Xservers and try starting 'xdm -nodaemon' to test xdm, I still get a blank screen on tty7.

Re: Laser printer
Well, for a complete discution you could switch to comp.os.linux.hardware I bought a hp 5L recently and it's cool. Any HP (or other) which understand PCL and has, say, at least 1Mb memory should do it. I suppose the Postscript ones are too expensive for you. The GDI (=windows) printers won't work.

Before you SU to root type 'xhost +' this will disable X windows access control. Remember X windows is a network program and has to authorize every user before it will let you run an application. By the way xhost + is also not the most secure way of handling this problem. Do a 'man xhost' and check out the specific params. --Matt PS.

Re: Debian quality
To all the kind folks who've spent many long nights making Debian Linux a quality product, thank you. I *must* agree. A year ago, I gave up trying to get a SCO Unix box (3.2v4.2) running all the Internet services I wanted. Every single service I wanted to get running was a complete PITA First, it was get and build GCC. Then it was GZIP. Then it was a decent mail system. Then it was News. Then it was mailing lists. Then it was FTP. Then it was... well, you get the picture. Each of these packages were a complete PITA to build on SCO. Quite often support for SCO in the source was lacking and I'd have to manually make changes just get things to build. It often took weeks to get a new service running. Then came Debian GNU/Linux, dselect, and the .deb binary packages. Just a few minutes and Bada-Boom!!! There's the new mail client, text editor, daemon, or whatever was needed. The dselect/dpkg installation method is awesome! Kudos to all Debian developers, testers, users, and GNU! Thanks so much for a great product.

With X runnign, I down loaded netscape, netscape-v301-export.x86-unknown-linux-elf.tar.gz, from their ftp site, and ran dpkg on it. I needed to update some libraries, ldso_1.8.5-1.deb libc5-dev then netscape configured (to the script's satisfaction, anyhow.)
