GCC Cross-Compiler Linux a HPUX8
Un saludo a todos... Tal vez sea un crossposting, pero esta vez prefiero pedir perdón :) Estos días se me ha presentado la necesidad de instalar una versión de apache para HPUX8.2, sin embargo, no he logrado encontrar ni binarios (si alguien pudiera proporcionármelos se lo agradecería). Intentando compilarlo, me pide el GCC. Intentando compilar GCC no lo consigue. Intentando construir un GCC desde linux para el hppa-hpux8 manda errores (pseudo code) y tampoco. Ahora, alguna dirección recomendable para compilar directamente en linux y el ejecutable salga en HPUX8 ? O algún mini-HOWTO? ... Estoy leyendo el info pero me he estado perdiendo. Saludos!

Re: routing question
Yo- Please do so. You could tell us *what* problems you have. What makes you feel something is wrong? How is the connection corrupted? What makes you think your routes are messed up. I have a bogus connection sometimes as already stated. By corrupted I mean that sometimes I be working and have a telnet session running, Netscape open somewhere and then Netscape can't connect and just hangs. At that point my telnet sessions that are currently connected still work but I can't start new ones. The only way to fix things is by having the router re-dial and connect again. I also can't get traceroute to work. Ascend gave me a non-sensical reply when I asked if could run a traceroute through their NAT translation. Shouldn't the trace show the first hop from my Debian box to the router at least? It doesn't. Also when I manually hang-up the ISDN call through the router it will redial when I am (should) be sending no packets to a different subnet. The router is set for Switched/Switched so it shouldn't connect unless it receives packets destined for a different network. twist# traceroute -v www.debian.org traceroute to www.debian.org (209.81.8.242), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 * * * 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 * * - That is what I get when I traceroute and it takes forever too (over 2 min).

Re: V.90 modem recomendation
Bob McGowan wrote: I too have some questions re. Linux and modems. Presumably, the concern about winmodems has to do with modem cards and not external modems? No, the problem with winmodems is that the manufacturers have moved some of the intelligence of the modem from the modem to the software driver for it. Since 99% of these drivers are only available for Win3.1/95, and some of the drivers, at least, are written such that they are tied pretty closely to the WinOS, these modems are essentially useless outside the Windows domain. Though it is obvious an external modem should use the latest UART (16550?)? And if I already have an internal modem, will it NOT work with Linux if it is a winmodem or are there workarounds? As I understand things, the UART needed is the 16550A, and virtually every modem made in the last 2-3 years has one. At this point I've heard of *NO* workaround to make a winmodem work with a non-Windows OS. Anyone know different?

Re: V.90 modem recomendation
a true winmodem can not work in Linux. The hardware control chips havew been moved to windows software drivers. They are cheaper to make because there is very little hardware involved.

login + nis problems in hamm
Hi all - We're setting up a new machine as a gateway for our lab, and decided to install hamm on it, mainly so we have access to the latest versions of sendmail, bind, etc., when security fixes come out. Unfortunately, when I upgraded the system to hamm, I forgot about the existence of the upgrade howto, and had a little mess for a few hours, but (I think) I was able to clean everything up. Our system is set up to use amd to automount our home directories over nfs. Authentication is done using nis(yp). One problem I ran into recently was with login and nis. When I upgraded the system to login_980403-0.1 and passwd_980403-0.1, I found that I could no longer log in as a regular user. Whenever I would try to log in, login would log the message: login[341]: invalid password for `UNKNOWN' on `tty1' in /var/log/auth.log. In order to fix the problem, I downgraded to the stable versions of login and passwd (961025-2.1). Now, at least I can log in, but whoami doesn't work(whoami: cannot find username for UID x), nor does cd ~username (Unknown user: username). If I downgrade shellutils, whoami works again, but who stops working (no output), and cd ~username still doesn't work. yuck. Anyway, can anyone give me any ideas? If this is a bug, I'll report it, of course (as soon as I figure out how and to whom), but in the mean time, what can I do to get my system up and running properly?!

RE: V.90 modem recomendation
OK, a few things about Winmodems - experience in an ISP tech support call center in the UK speaking here ! : a) As has been stated WinModems have their intelligence moved from the Hardware to the Drivers which emualte the hardware b) While it is not impossible to make an external WinModem there is no need as an external modem will be reliant on the UART in the computer which is the most usual component to emulate in software - allowing simplified upgrades (the Data Pump is the other most common 'replaced' chip). c) If you have a 386SX and an external 56K Modem you will NOT get a better connect than 9600bps due to the fact that the computer will only have an old INS 8250 UART. - even if the modem had a UART (which would be a redundancy) you will only get the throughput of the *slowest* part of the system. d) It would be possible (probably if and when hell freezes over) to write a Linux driver for the WinModems, it's getting the info from the likes of USR/3Com and others who use HSP (Host Signal Processing) style modems e) AFAIK the term WinModem is (R) USR - Correct me if I'm wrong here, and as such is a misnomer as far as other modems using HSP technologies are concerned. f) The most obvious way of discerning wheather the modem you're looking at is HSP based is to look at the H/W requirements - they will generally state - 1 free ISA / PCI / PCMCIA slot for a normal modem, a HSP based product will have Processor and OS requirements also - I'm not referring to the standard Some of the software included needs W'95 and a Pxxx and xxxMB to run but rather the REQUIRES Minimum P90 and 8MB RAM bit. As for recommending a modem to use, the USR Courier V.Everything is a *great* modem if you can afford one, otherwise look seriously at the Rockwellian modems - they're generally very stable - but do check with your ISP (they won't always be able to express a preference if they're any way big (like the one I worked for) 'cause the modem companies could be paying them for that type of publicity (it works both ways though). - Your best bet is to find out (if you can) what they use their end (USR / Rockwell) and buy the same, but the Tech support staff may not know :(.

Re: Can't boot up from resc1440tecra.bin
Last night, I too verified that the Hamm Tecra disks are *not* working as advertised This includes both the April 11 and April 26 (just made available on Monday) versions I've got a Tecra 740. Bo disks worked fine. I finally got an install going by downloading base_20.tgz and other required files to my Win95 partition and installing from there... But, of course, upon rebooting, the installed kernel just caused my system to reboot as soon as lilo loaded and started the kernel. I got around this by creating a clean kernel on my desktop system and creating a boot diskette with it (remember to rdev it as requiredgrin...). Once I got the Tecra booted, I manually installed this new kernel onto the notebook (lilo.conf and a `lilo`) and I was in business. Now, after a few nights work - in total - I've got this system working quite nicely except for a Netscape problem... Anyway, this should probably be reported as a bug - if that's the proper method But, I just thought I'd rant a bit and let you know that you're not the only one with this problem...

RE: faking the hardware address?
If I understand the situation, IP masquerading is what you want. The addresses assigned to the machine connected to the modem should be from the block of addresses reserved for private networks (networks that will not connect to the internet). The IP Masq process will forward the traffic from the remote machine to the internet (thru the PPP box) and back. It basically replaces the address of the remote machine with its address so the internet only sees traffic from the PPP box. You will want to enable ip always defragment in the kernel network setup to make sure any fragmented packets get forwarded correctly (only the first fragment contains all the information on the source and destination machines).

bo box needed for X security build
Hi folks, it's your friendly neighborhood X maintainer. I do not have access to a bo machine on which to compile a security release of XFree86 (3.3 plus the recent security patches for xterm and libXaw). It is rather important that I find one. If you have such a machine and are willing to help, here's what is needed. 1) I need a non-root-privileged account on the machine. 2) At least 600 MB free disk space on one partition. This will all be returned once the build is tested successfully. 3) Willingness to install, if only for the duration of work on the package, whatever packages I need to build X with. fakeroot is the only one I can think of that might be considered unusual (I hope there is a bo version). 4) Ideally, at least a Pentium/K6 200 and 32 megs of RAM 5) A better than dialup speed internet connection Items 1-3 are mandatory, 4 and 5 are heavily preferred. Hopefully I'll only need the machine for about 6 hours (give or take compile time), but it could stretch into a couple of days if there are big problems. Whoever can help me out with this will receive due credit and recognition. Please email me personally if you would like to help. Thanks in advance for helping keep bo secure. -- G.

Installing Debian from WindowsNT Pt. 2
After searching and searching the FAQ's and HOW-TO's I found that I could enable the COM port on the Linux box in the /etc/inittab file. I can now log onto my Linux box from hyper terminal on the Windows machine but I still can't access or send files from the Windows machine to the Linux box. I have been through and through all the info I can find on the WEB with no hope. Everything assumes the I have access to the net, but I don't. I also don't have a CD Drive. I have a Pentium motherboard with 16 M RAM, a 600M hard drive with Debian Linux installed and a 400M hard drive I installed as a second drive AFTER Linux was installed. I've never used Linux or UNIX before so I need step by step assistance. I realise this is going the hard way but my System Administrator won't allow a Linux box to be connect to the network. He is afraid that Linux will bring down his precious WindowsNT network?!?!?!? Is it possible to mount the second hard drive I added after installing Linux or will I need to re-install Linux. ( It's no big deal at this point, I have nothing but the Base Floppies installed right now) I've already got several people bugging me for access to a 'true Operating System' but I keep telling them I have to get the system installed first. Thanks again for any assistance you can give. Cheers, John Gay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Life behind a firewall?
I need quick advice on this problem (quick means by 12:00pm EST Fri 15th.). My employer has finally decided to impliment security measures. They are installing some big firewall system, there by rendering my humble Debian and Sun boxes silent. They are masq. IPs and allowing basicly only http traffic. What I know is that the box has three interfaces, external (main IP router connected), Outside (DNS, WWW, mail? servers connected), and Trusted (the rest of the College WAN including my Deb. boxes, and Sun boxes). I've gotten used to having unrestricted access, and don't quite know what to do about this. Losing the server this mail is sent from will be a great loss. How do I cope with the big brother attitude? (it hasn't been my servers that have been attacked). The only connection points I'll have are on the trusted side of the wall. In fact the wall will be on the other end of a WAN connection at our main campus. Basicly advice on dealing with the new network, and possibly cases or arguments to use with admin. One concern is how are my students going to telnet in for Unix practice and assignments? They are not going to allow telnet access through the firewall.

major Netscape problems
Yo- I have been having on and off problems with Netscape. Now it seems I can't get the problem to go away. Netscape will load but it will not go anywhere or do anything except it takes up 100% of my processor time and won't close unless I kill -9 the process. I have tried every version of Netscape from 4.02-4.05 experimental and experience the same problem. I can't even use it now because of this. Very annoying. Anybody have ideas about what is wrong?

RE: Installing Debian from WindowsNT Pt. 2
John, this is a generic answer to your question on how to transfer files from your NT box to a Linux (or other UNIX type) system. I am not familiar with everything that is part of the Linux Base, so I am going to assume that there are no utilities there for serial file transfer. If they are, you can ignore the first step. 1. You will need to get a file tranfer program of some sort onto the Linux box. This could be rzsz (the Zmodem receive/send tools), xmodem or ymodem. It does need to be a binary executable, so you will need to get it, copy to a floppy and then copy from the floppy to the Linux system. I will also assume that you know how to do DOS floppy access from Linux and that the tools are there. 2. Once you have the above installed, login over the Hyperterm serial line. It is a good idea to set this to run at the highest bps rate the hardware can support, so you get faster transfer times. On the Linux side, this would be done (if I remember correctly) in the /etc/inittab for the getty running on the port. In Hyperterm, pull down the file menu and select Properties, then click on the configure button to set up the bps rate to match your getty setup. 3. On the Linux side (at the shell prompt and assuming you got the rzsz pgm), type rz to receive a file. In Hyperterm, pull down the transfer menu and select Send File... which will bring up a dialog box where you can select the name of the file to send. The default protocol is zmodem, change it to whatever you are using on the Linux side if necessary. Select OK and the file should now go over to the directory you logged into (or cd'd to after login). Again, this is a fairly high level overview (with details where I remember and can check on my local system - for the Hyperterm part at least). My Linux box is at home so I cannot check details for you on that end.

Re: faking the hardware address?

This is however not necessary here and I recommend against it. See below, You'll just need a free IP on the subnet the linux box is on. - compile the linux kernel with IP forwarding and have it route packets to and from the PPP box This will be needed in any case. - make the gateway that my linux box uses accept packets from the new IP with my ethernet card's hardware address and through my ethernet port the first two I can do, but the third one may be problematic, as I'm not an administrator for the gateway or anything. i have been told that i can have multiple machines connect through my port (using a hub), but it expects each IP to have a unique hardware address. My question is: can I fake this? Yes. In short: use the proxyarp option of pppd In long: Assume the network your linux box is connected to is a class C network 1.2.3.x, your box is 1.2.3.1, your default gateway (for the linux box) is 1.2.3.254 and a not yet used IP on the class C network is 1.2.3.2 ppp options on the linux box: 1.2.3.1:1.2.3.2 # local address : remote address proxyarp silent auth ppp options on the ppp box: ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote defaultroute (a few other might be needed that are just for every ppp connection to be established, like proper connect scripts, flow control, tty settings, ...) What then happens is that every other host on the campus lan thinks the ppp box is directly connected to the LAN. Assume, the link is up now. If host A wants to sent a packet to the ppp box, it asks for the hardware address corresponding to 1.2.3.2. The linux box answers with it's own, receives the corresponding packet and forwards it over the ppp link because it has a host route to 1.2.3.2 over this link. When the ppp box sends a packet back, it first sends it to the linux box, because that one is the default gateway for everything (execpt loopback :-), and the linux box passes this packet on to its destination.

[Modem] No BUSY tone detect in SPAIN
Hi!
I have a little problem w/ my modems. They don't return the BUSY
error code, when it should be triggered by the BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-... ;-)
Mine is an E-Tech 56K-RPV, but the same problem has been observed
in other modems (like Supra 33600, and in other rockwell-based modems).
My guess is that spanish telephonic stantdards are not the same as
US's ones, so BUSY tone here is different from there.
I have upgraded my modem firmware (v1.12 now) with no
positive effect.
I have tried with ATX{1-4},ATV{0-1}, ... with no effect.
I have read the manual, but I can't find any references to country
stantdards other than make/break ratio for tone dialing (P{0-3}).
The problem is nasty, since the 'ABORT BUSY' is useless, and so,
when trying to connect, if the line is busy, 'chat' won't notice, so a
'kill chat' is required, if you don't want to wait for the timeout to
arrive.
I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, ideas, advices...
Thank You very much in advance.

Re: A few questions
Dear Greg, 1.) For the storage on this site, we have acquired an old Proliant RAID cabinet and populated it with 7 4.1 gb drives (28 gb total) and we are dedicating 3 of these drives to our ftp site. I am looking for a way (if it is possible) to mount all three of these drives at a single mount point to cut down on silly long directory structures. Any ideas? You can't use a single mount point - that's like trying to make 3 different files occupy the same filename. Probably best to install them as /mnt1 /mnt2 and /mnt3. Shouldn't make the filenames any longer :) I can't help with the other two problems :( HTH, Sorry to jump into discussion. I'm really not sure about LINUX, but on IRIX we united sevral partitions from different disks in one so called logical volume.
