Ventanas en AfterStep

1998-06-13 Thread J. Parera
Cuando ejecuto determinadas aplicaciones en AfterStep, tipo xfig (osease muy
grandes), se quedan cortadas. Con ello me salen dos problemas:
 1. La barra de título de la ventana queda oculta, en la parte superior
del monitor, y por lo tanto no puedo acceder a ella y mover la ventana.

 2. Con aplicaciones como xfig si disminuyo el tamaño de la ventana algunos
botones quedan ocultos, en vez de hacerse más pequeños, con lo que no puedo
acceder a ellos. A más si utilizo una resolución mayor para poder ver en una
sola ventana toda la aplicación enterita entonces se ve todo muy pequeño.
Como solucionan eso ustedes?

ISDN setup

1998-06-13 Thread Robert de Forest
I told my boss it's easy to use Linux as an ISDN 
modem/router/gateway/firewall. After days of telling him this, he finally 
let me go ahead and set it up, and I've been unable to do it.

I've been trying to setup a USR Courier I-Modem (internal) on a debian 2.0 
machine. I've found many verbose web pages telling me how to get all sorts 
of ISDN modems working, but not modems that behave like normal modems, 
and definitely not USR Couriers.

Since I can talk directly to the modem with minicom and I can set the 
ISDN-specific parameters that way, I figure I don't need an ISDN driver. I 
am even able to get a CONNECT 64000 when I tell the thing to dial, but if I 
tell pppd to take over it (pppd) gets a SIGHUP eventually. When I manually 
dial, I can't detect any data flow, just the connection.

So here are my actuall questions:
  1) What's the Debian/Linux way to research this kind of problem?
  2) Is my assumption that I can treat this device like a normal modem 
correct?
  3) I noticed while messing with this modem that it seems to handle PPP 
onboard. If this is the case, do I need a custom pppd to account for this 
(ipppd?), or do I need to turn this feature off, somehow?

Help help!

 So here are my actuall questions:
   1) What's the Debian/Linux way to research this kind of problem?

Use the diald package, Luke. It provides on-demand dialup, making your network
connection transparent. Then all you'll need to do is set up a few simple
settings in the /etc/diald/diald.options file and add your auth info into
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and you'll be on your way. I'd be
happy to help you get these files set up, email me for examples.

   2) Is my assumption that I can treat this device like a normal modem
 correct?

If minicom works, then yes.

   3) I noticed while messing with this modem that it seems to handle PPP
 onboard. If this is the case, do I need a custom pppd to account for this
 (ipppd?), or do I need to turn this feature off, somehow?

Nope, you just need to turn on the courier's 'PPP Sync-To-Async' conversion.You
see, ISDN is a synchronous data service, which means that there's just a stream
of bits which blast through continuously in tune with a clock signal.
Asynchronous data, on the other hand, frames each word (read: byte) sent with
start/stop bits and sometimes a parity bit. Since with synchronous serial data
you're getting a continuous stream of bits you need to have some way of telling
where each piece of data starts and ends. This is accomplished with HDLC 
framing.
Basically, a special pattern of bits starts and ends frames. The sender makes
sure that this sequence of bits is only sent to mark frames (if discovered in
regular data, it is escaped). Now, your serial port can *only* do asynchronous
communication, so in order for you to communicate PPP to the other end (which is
usually using synchronous PPP) the modem needs to translate the HDLC packets
coming in and provide them to you as PPP HDLC packets. The alternative uses
something called V.120 but that probably isn't what your provider uses. So, you
need to find out what switch sets your TA to do PPP sync-to-async conversion and
you'll be humming right along.

 P.S. I'm only subscribed to debian-user-digets, so please CC me in your

rxvt has wrong TERM variable

1998-06-13 Thread damon
Hi Gang,

Been having some trouble getting mutt to work in colour in rxvt under X
(rxvt 2.20-3.1, according to 'dpkg -l|grep rxvt'), and I worked out that
the problem was that the TERM variable is set as 'xterm'. When I manually
change this to 'rxvt', I then get mutt working in colour again.

Accordning to the rxvt FM rxvt sets the environment variables  TERM,
COLORTERM and COLORFGBG. COLORTERM seems okay, but TERM doesn:

rei$ set|grep TERM
COLORTERM=rxvt-xpm
TERM=xterm  

Anyone have any cluses here? It's a bit of a pain to have to set it every
time I read my mail, and with all the pretty colour of mutt, who really
want to read it in black and white?

Thanks,

damon

 You know...I read this and thought ti was a great idea...I had been going and 
 ftp'ing in by hand and asking for binary-i386.tar.gz every time I wanted to 
 burn a CD..then have to unpack etc... PITA
 
 I tried this with wget...it wont work. According tot ht elogs it logs on and 
 says that hamm is not a plain file and gives up...I have tried many 
 variations including typed exactly as you gave it.

Hrm...well I get an error as well in several directories complaining about
a file named hamm. But in my situation it continues with the download. FWIW,
I'm running it from a shell script. Shouldn't make any difference tho.
Here's a sample log snippet:

...

--05:20:35--  ftp://ftp.debian.org:21/%2Fpub/debian/hamm/non-free/binary-i386/sh
ells/hamm
   = `ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/hamm/contrib/binary-all/base/hamm'
== CWD not required.
== PORT ... done.== RETR hamm ...
No such file `hamm'.

...

I have no idea where it is getting hamm. It's not on the server in either of
the directories indicated. I'm running version 1.5 of wget btw.

I already had one response which suggested using mirror. I'm looking into that
now. But will mirror handle my periodically broken connection to the net as
well as wget does? Like waiting for the connection to reconnect and then
continue the download? Very handy for dial-ups.

  Is that the correct way to handle things? Or is there a better method
  until hamm goes stable?
 
 does it work and install? then it is correct :)

heh. and it works good too.

c. Each time I install packages through dselect, it must go through every
   file in the archive and decide whether to install it or not. Is there
   a way I can tell dselect to only try to install the files I selected,
   rather than stepping through the whole tree?
 
 Well that is dselect :) thats how it works 
  
 -Steve

Turns out if I run with the packages as mountable it isn't supposed to do
that. I was running it as already mounted. Well, time to RTM anyway. ;)

I was also recommended to trying APT. I kinda like dselect. It's a real
nifty program. Guess I'll do both in a minute.

URGENT: Uploaded ssh 1.2.25-0.1 (source i386) to non-us

1998-06-13 Thread Tommi Virtanen
I just uploaded an NMU of ssh to non-us. It fixes a
nasty security bug where anyone could inject data
into an encrypted ssh stream. I suggest you upgrade
ASAP. The files can be found for now at
ftp://nonus.debian.org/pub/incoming/debian-non-US/

PS. If you reply to this message, take care with the
crossposts..

If I remember rightly, DOS cannot read two primary partitions, it needs D:

 If you have mirrored the Debian distribution on D:, you won't even need to
 use floppies for installation.  In MS-DOS (not a window), go to
 D:/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current and run install.bat which

replace those /'s with \'s :)

 will start the installation for you. Specify /dev/hda3 when asked where to
 install.  If you are installing hamm, replace stable with frozen.

If I am right about the partition business, set that to /dev/hda6 .

(You might want to make a swap partition too, as /dev/hda7. cfdisk should
be helpful there. (cfdisk is still the default?))

Complex passwords

1998-06-13 Thread Nathan E Norman
Hello,

I'm writing a script to enable non-UNIX types at my work to be able to
administrate customer accounts.  I'm fairly pleased with what I've got,
but I've got a question.

The passwd command runs a complexity check on what is entered, and tells
you if you're picking a password that's too easy.  However, entering
that password again makes passwd accept it.  This isn't so good - I'd
like to force these administrators to choose complex passwords.  As it
stands, one can hit the enter key three times and passwd will enter a
null password!

The manpage doesn't show me an obvious way to disable this behavior of
the passwd command (accepting easy passwords).  Is there a way? 

Thanks!

 root.root So obviously although I hadn;t realised that before if a group
 you belong to owns a directory which is writable by the group you can
 delete stuff from it without owning
 the files and without belonging to the group which owns the files. Is this
 safe ?? More importantly I don't know if this is a bug of the installation
 procedure about 1 1/2 years ago but the permission to /boot were set by
 that procedure and I never changed them. I know users should not probably
 belong to group disk but I could have damaged my system really bad if I

XF86_NONE indicates that you haven't selected a default Xserver.  When
you install a xserver package, it will ask you something like Do you want
to make this server the default?.  Figure out what kind of server you need,
which depends on the kind of video card you are using, then find that
package in ftp.debian.org (or wherever) and install it using dselect/dpkg.
As Micheal said, ignore the comments about a symlink; Debian uses a REAL
program as /usr/X11R6/bin/X.  Just let the deb package set things up for you
when you install it.  From dpkg --list, I'm using the following xserver
package:
xserver-svga  3.3.2.1-1  X server for SVGA graphics cards

Suppose the package creates /etc/foo.conf in it's postinst, based on user

 Is anyone else receiving these message?  Today, I've received about 5 of
 them.  It seems every time I send a message to the Debian User mailing
 list, I receive another.
 
 ... I don't know why because the email address isn't debian.org.  I also
 looked through my recently sent messages, and I didn't see any message
 to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 If it is not debian, it's probably someone on this list -- so please check
 your configuration if it's you!
 
 Thanks

Ditto here.  I also tried to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but
it was returned with a Host not found/invalid kind of error.
