URGENTE!!!, cuenta de correo bloqueada.
Alguien me ha mandado un macro e-mail y no puedo acceder a mi cuenta de correo. Por otra parte no quiero borrar el mensaje en cuestion sin antes saber de que leches va. ¿Sabe alguien acceder al servidor POP mediante telnet?. Solo recuerdo que se hace mediante telnet mail.servidor.com 110 y que se tiene que especificar el nombre de usuario y la clave mediante USER NOMBRE y PASS CLAVE respectivamente. ¿Cuales son los comandos para listar los mensajes, borrar uno, etc?. Enviadme la respuesta a [EMAIL PROTECTED] pues mi cuenta con la que estoy subscrito a la lista es la bloqueada y este mensaje lo escribo de forma remota desde el Linux de mi casa a la Sun del departamento (un poco lioso pero es que son las dos de la mañana y estoy desesperado).

Depende del tipo de sistema operativo que utilice tu servidor SI ES UNIX: telnet tu_servidor username: password: donde username y password son igual que en linux, pero el con username y la password que te haya dado tu servidor. Una vez dentro mail te entrará en el programa de correo, mostrándote las cabeceras de los distintos mensajes. Si das el número que aparece con la cabecera te mostrará el mensaje correspondiente a ese número. Para borrarlo, por ejemplo si el mensaje enorme es el número 2 d2 y sal con q para que te valide la supresión. No abras otros mensajes si vas a salir con q, porque te los marcará como leídos y te los guardará en tu cuenta del servidor, en vez de dejártelos disponibles para que los leas desde casa y entonces te los marque como leídos. Si no estás seguro de cual es el mensaje que da problemas puedes hacer las cosas en dos pasos: Primero entras y miras los mensajes hasta que localices el problemático. Una vez localizado apuntas cuál es y sales con x, que te dejará las cosas como estaban antes de ver el correo. Después entras de nuevo y borras el mensaje problemático y sales con q para que lo valide. SI NO ES UNIX: Ahí lo siento, sólo te puedo ayudar si utiliza VM/CMS (el de los mainframe IBM), cosa que dudo que haga tu servidor. Pero en cualquier caso, si no es unix vuelve a pedir ayuda a la lista especificando el S.O. del servidor (Al hacer telnet debiera decírtelo) Saludos, -- = Agustín Martín Domingo, Dpto. de Física, ETS Arquitectura Madrid, (U.

CONCLUSIONS: Re: burning hamm on CD.
Hi, I downloaded the rest of the distribution today (non-us and contrib). I compared all the files in the binary-all and the binary-i386 trees (since I have NT at work, it was downloaded into two different trees) and my conclusion is that most of the files are identical (I deleted those on the binary-all tree) some are newer on the -all tree and some are newer on the -i386 tree (I kept both versions). I will burn it on two CDs, one will have the main tree ,the disks-i386 and the lates kernel. The other will have non-free, contrib, non-us and some other useful programs (such as pine and netscape. BTW: There are some more space, do you have any suggestions?).

ipforward'ing on in kernel?
We want to setup a local simple router-pair, to create a LAN-remote subnet segment. 1) To support this, we need routing enabled in the kernel. Does the default kernel on the 1.3.1 CDROM have this enabled? rrouter# uname -a Linux rrouter 2.0.30 #1 Sun Jun1 09:14:11 EST 1997 i586 rrouter# I thought we could tell by cat /proc/ksyms | grep forward : 00140988 ip_forward_R35268aee 0022ae04 sysctl_ip_forward_Ra7d20d83 Is this correct? seems to say yes; or do we have to rebuild a new kernel. 2) How do we tell what options are compiled into the Kernel? 3) I read: The Slackware Linux kernel as shipped does NOT have IP FORWARDING enabled. So you can hook it up to the net, and use Linux directly on the net, but Linux won't pass packets through to your local Ethernet or what have you. There is no way to tell from the boot messages that this feature is on or off. The only way is to look at the config file for building the kernel in /usr/src/linux/.config and see what CONFIG_IP_FORWARD is set to. grep FORWARD /usr/src/linux/.config is the ideal command for this. CONFIG_IP_FORWARD=y means it is turned ON # CONFIG_IP_FORWARD is not set means it is turned OFF The only way to enable this feature is to rebuild the kernel. What about Debian? On the CDROM (1.3.1), the .config file says: -- # # Networking options # # CONFIG_FIREWALL is not set # CONFIG_NET_ALIAS is not set CONFIG_INET=y # CONFIG_IP_FORWARD is not set # CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y CONFIG_RST_COOKIES=y # CONFIG_IP_ACCT is not set # CONFIG_IP_ROUTER is not set # CONFIG_NET_IPIP is not set # CONFIG_ARPD is not set Does this correspond to the binary kernel distributed, or is it just a standard default spec for building new kernels? 4) We also need PPP procxyarp, is it on by default (curious about the ARPD not set).

Re: Help on installing Deb 1.3.1 on Toshiba laptop
On 21 May, Philip Restuccia wrote: Hello. I sent a request for help on this topic a few days ago, but have received no responses as of yet. In case I wasn't clear enough on my needs the first time, I'm trying again. If you saw the first request and just don't know of anything that would help me, then I apologize for the duplication! :-) I'm sorry. I didn't see your question the first time. I do try to read most laptop-related questions. I purchased the Debian 1.3.1 binary/source CD set from LSL several months ago, and am finally getting to the actual installation (been *very* busy). What I would *really* like to be able to do is install Linux on a 1.5GB cartride in my Syquest SyJet removable drive, which I have attached to my Toshiba Satellite 105cs laptop via an Adaptec APA-1460A PCMCIA SCSI adapter, to which is also attached a Teac SCSI 16x CD-ROM drive. My laptop has a 504MB hard disk that has only the single partition it came with on it, and that has only about 170MB left on it; the Win95 stuff on it cannot be removed. The laptop also has 24MB of RAM. The hardware sounds like it should be good; AFAIK everything is supported by Linux. Is there any way possible that I can accomplish the installation on the SyJet? I have no real-mode card and socket services available on the machine, so my SCSI adapter (and thus the SyJet and CD-ROM drive) are invisible to DOS (at least to pure DOS; I can access them in a DOS-box under Win95 but this is obviously no good). Do any of the Linux installation utilies by any chance have built-in access to the PCMCIA cards? Is there any alternative? OUCH! My guess is you may not have gotten any answers because this one is a hard one. Problem number one: booting. In order to boot, you will have to be able to see some of Linux at boot time. Not having any experience with a PCMCIA SCSI card (I'm supposed to be getting a New Media Bus Toaster in a couple of days), I don't know if you'll be able to boot off that drive or not. The BIOS has to be able to see the drive in order to be able to boot off it. Since the PCMCIA card hasn't been initialized yet, it can't be recognized by the BIOS as a valid bootable device. I suspect you'll need something to boot from the internal hard drive and then bootstrap up to the external drive after the PCMCIA drivers are loaded. Perhaps a boot floppy with a kernel and the PCMCIA modules on it might do the trick, but I'm in *way* over my head here. I have no idea how to go about such a thing. Even if you boot from the internal hard drive, I think the kernel wants to mount the swap partition and any other partitions you have *before* the PCMCIA drivers are loaded :-( Another major problem is that installation will be tricky. In short, the PCMCIA drivers have to be running *before* the installation program copies anything to the disk; I've installed Debian on 4 laptops in the past 6 months and I've always had to add the PCMCIA support in myself. This could be fixed by adding PCMCIA support and the appropriate SCSI driver to the rescue disk, which I think amounts to solving the same problem as the general booting problem with a floppy disk. Again, I'm in over my head here. Finally, on shutdown, the shutdown stuff wants to unload the PCMCIA drivers before unmounting the drives; this means that every time you boot up, you will at a minimum have to go through a fsck of the whole Syquest drive. The major difficulty is that the PCMCIA drivers have to be loaded before you can get anything off the Syquest drive, and the PCMCIA drivers are only available as kernel modules, and so aren't loaded until too late in the boot process (and correspondingly get unloaded too soon). If you could spare 10-15 megabytes for a bare install on the internal hard drive and could figure out how to a) load the PCMCIA drivers early or b) delay mounting the swap, /home, /usr and /var partitions until later in the boot process, you could probably get away with it. (On my system, I have just a little over 10 megabytes in /boot, /bin, /sbin, /lib, /dev and /etc combined. I have 22 megabytes in /root, which I probably shouldn't have there, and some miscellaneous stuff in /tmp (maybe this should get a partition on the Syquest drive, too?); then there is 1 gigabyte in the /usr partition and 1.5 gigabytes in /home. /var needs some space because that is where new packages get downloaded to before they get installed. Correspondingly, I have a small partition mounted as the root partition, and two very large partitions mounted under /home and /usr, and a medium sized partition mounted under /var. I'm sorry that this comes out so negative sounding; what you've asked is (I think) fairly difficult, and is going to involve changing the boot sequence for anything to work. Also, on an unrelated topic, I've been monitoring this list for a few days now (watching for a response to my initial request, and also attempting to

If so, you can press Control-R to kill it and go back to a text console login screen; alternatively, you can login and press F1 after the password instead of Enter to go into safe mode, which doesn't start a window manager, just an xterm so you can fix things; or, you can press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to a text console and login from there (this last one leaves XDM running; you can switch back to it with (usually, if you haven't modified the number of virtual consoles available) Alt-F7). I don't know how to restart XDM after the Control-R bit except (as root) to run /etc/init.d/xdm stop and then /etc/init.d/xdm start - the person I got the tip from didn't say if there was some way to get the XDM screen back or not. If you haven't changed it, the default is to start the first window manager listed in /etc/X11/window-managers. You could try to edit that file to see if it has been corrupted or if the first window manager listed actually exists. You may also want to check to see if there is a .xsession in your home directory, and if so, what is in it. The window manager should be the last line in it if it does exist. Incidentally, the safe mode login is a good way to test new window managers, because you can start a new window manager from the prompt and kill it if it doesn't work out. i.e. you could login in safe mode, type fvwm95 to start the fvwm95 window manager, and either quit it or kill it if you start having problems.

From 'man lilo': -s save-file When lilo overwrites the boot sector, it preserves the old contents in a file, by default /boot/boot. where depends on the device. This option specifies an alternate save file for the boot sector. (Or, together with the -u option, specifies from where to restore the boot sector.)

Re: !!! URGENT !!! Can't boot back to Win95
Hi, Unfortunately, I've panicked and reinstalled all Win95. Fortunately, all my personal data and files are on a different partition (sda5 and sda6) so nothing important was lost, excepting my time and yours. With this occasion I have also changed sda1 from FAT32 to VFAT as my newly 2.0.33 kernel didn't recognize it. Any idea about this ? The original kernel that come with hamm had had no problem to mount that partition. Now, the Win95 is working again and sda1 is simple vfat partion.

The linux.* hierarchy was declared dead almost 2 years ago, but it doesn't want to die apparently. Gating mail to news is NOT a good idea. Why? Because a lot of people do it. For example, some linux-kernel postings still show up in linux.dev.kernel. But there is _also_ a muc.lists.kernel which does the same. Because the typical news system only accepts articles with the same message ID once, half of the postings show up in muc.lists.kernel and the other half in linux.dev.kernel. It's probably even worse as there must be more gateways.

new ncurses and loss of terminfo files
Hi: I recently updated to the latest set of ncurses packages in my (mostly) frozen debian system. When installation finished, my system no longer understood linux or rxvt as terminal types! A search showed that the directory /etc/terminfo had been completely gutted -- all the old files had been removed -- and one new file (xterm) had been added. The .list file for the ncurses-base packages says that the linux and rxvt definitions (among others) *should* have been installed, but they weren't. I had to reconstruct them from the otherwise unused termcap file from the termcap-compat package (glad I had it!). Has anyone else seen this problem? Can anyone tell me what happened? TIA.

ppp
Thanks to everyone who replied. I'm sure my problem was the /dev/ttys1 instead of /dev/ttyS1. I'll try this tonight.

Is there anyway to have this happen with PPP when the browers starts up (on linux OR on the Win-95 machines)?

Re: PCMCIA card problems (Hamm)
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Brian Mays [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Ian Lynagh wrote: I have fixed this by reinstalling and this time not using the updated debs. Since the modules in pcmcia-modules-2.0.33 need to match the kernel exactly, releases of this package must keep pace with releases of the kernel-image-2.0.33 package. (The version number reflects this. For example, pcmcia-modules-2.0.33 version 3.0.0-6k8 is supposed to be compatible with kernel-image-2.0.33 version 2.0.33-8.) It would be nice if there was a pcmcia-kernel-2.0.33-8 as well, which provides kernel-image-2.0.33, to avoid cases like now when you can't download a matching pair. Also, if I were to recompile my kernel to add sound support would I also need to recompile the PCMCIA modules? Is there a doc anywhere which shows step-by-step how to do this? This time round I also noticed the Alternate to configure PCMCIA, although I am confused as to why it is not done by default? I do not understand what you are referring to here. I think it was when Next referred to installing modules that Configure PCMCIA was listed as alternate. I could be wrong. All I know is the first time I installed I didn't go through the 5 or so screens following. The first screen gave a choice of Intel or *mumble* PCMCIA slots.

Overriding fvwm95 buttons in the post.hook?
I have read the documentation on fvwm95 and on FvwmButtons but I am still at a loss to decide how I would override definitions of buttons in /etc/X11/fvwm95/system.fvwm95rc What I would like to do is to use rclock rather than xclock for one of the buttons.
