Re: Alguien sabe como añadir fuentes a Staroffice y que se impriman con Ghotscript?
Me imagino que lo que pasa es que ya le has dicho a StarOffice donde encontrar la fuente de blippo pero problablemente en algun fichero de configuración se le tiene que decir que en el fichero postcript que crea debe no solo hacer referencia a blippo sino también incluir una copia, que debe ser lo que hace con las otras fuentes que usa. En vez de intentar descubrir como congiurar StarOffice, te aconsejo que configures ghostscript para usar los freefonts lo cual será útil para otros programas (gimp es otra historia que podemos abordar en otro e-mail). Los pasos son los siguientes: 1) Crea el fichero Fontmap para los freefonts, que puede estar separado del Fontmap original y en el propio directorio: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont/Fontmap en este fichero debe decir el nombre verdadero de cada font y el archivo donde está (para ahorrarte trabajo, te incluyo el Fontmap al final) 2) Llama a gs con la opción: -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont o mejor todavia, para no tener que usar siempre esa opción, define la variable de estado GS_LIB: export GS_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont por ejemplo en el .bash_profile y ya está. Puedes comprobar que gs ya reconoce a blippo: gs GS /Blippo-Heavy findfont Loading Blippo-Heavy font from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont/blippo.pfb... 1923476 593090 1309076 23354 0 done.

StarOffice, Postscript y colores
Hola: He estado batallando con las impresiones en staroffice, pero no logro que imprima a colores. Se trata de una HP DeskJet 6xx, la configuro en el filtro correspondiente y mando paginas postscript de prueba, como tiger, escher, etc, y salen muy bien con colores. La salida del staroffice es siempre en postscript, hasta ahora lo he probado con la impresora generica. Todas las impresoras que tiene definidas el SO son postscript. En la pantalla puedo ver los chart a colores, pero cuando lo mando a imprimir sale en blanco y negro. Hice una prueba, mandando la salida postscript a un archivo para leerlo en ghostscript, lo curioso es que puedo ver el chart en colores, pero al mandarlo imprimir desde el mismo ghostscript, la impresion sale en blanco y negro. :o Alguien que sepa un poquillo de postscript, por favor, me puede decir que se le tiene que cambiar al archivo ps para que respete los colores? De antemano muchas gracias. -- Saludos

El hecho es que Xprinter permite mandar postscript a la impresora tal cual lo haria Xlib. Dentro del directorio donde se instalo el staroffice, hay uno que se llama xp3, el cual tiene el archivo de default para la configuracion de las impresoras, mismo que se edita con el programita psetup. Ahi mismo hay otro directorio con las ¿Definiciones de impresora?, son unos archivos ps con nombres mnemonicos de cada impresora, me imagino que se adicionan a cada impresion que se genera. Curiosamente, la definicion GENERIC.PS apunta a una HPIIP. Bien, he modificado en dicho archivo la linea correspondiente al LanguajeLevel, de 1 a 2, la he quitado, pero el resultado sigue siendo el mismo: no imprime a colores.

Todas las respuestas estaban bien y te dan una solucion, pero la mejor es
la que te recomienda utilizar el paquete graphics o graphicx (no me
acuerdo si era el mensaje de David). Resulta que estos dos paquetes no son
sino un wrapper de alto nivel para las antiguos macros epsf y psfig.
Pero de todas formas, si utilizas Latex2e, lo mas kosher es utilizar el
interface del paquete graphics (o graphicx), ya que la implementacion de
bajo nivel basada en los macros epsf puede que cambie en un futuro.
En resumidas cuentas,
\usepackage{graphicx}
y alla donde incluyas un grafico, pon algo asi como:
\includegraphics[width=0.75\textwidth]{mifoto.eps}
(En los corchetes van las opciones, que son casi todas las mismas que
tenia el antiguo paquete psfig).
Toda la informacion esta en la documentacion base del Latex2e, porque el
paquete graphics ya forma parte oficial de Latex2e. Buscalo haciendo un
simple:

Cambio a ash o csh y lo mismo. Tambien edito el oratab.sh y quito la variable groups y me dice que oracle no es un usuario de dba. Por favor, ruego que el que sepa algo me indique un saludo a todos y gracias por todo. Un saludo Angel

exim: socket bind () failed
Hi all,
sorry to bother you again with another exim-question, I already RTFM, also
several howtos but could not find anything (/var/logs/exim/mainlog),
everything seems to work, but those messages keep popping up:
1999-02-04 23:43:16 socket bind() to port 25 for address (any) failed:
Address already in use: waiting before trying again
1999-02-04 23:43:46 socket bind() (...)
1999-02-04 23:44:16 socket bind() (...)
1999-02-04 23:53:00 Start queue run: pid=180
1999-02-04 23:53:00 End queue run: pid=180
Several hours pass, exim delivers email, gets email, but then again, those
socket bind msgs come up again. Doesn't seem to do anything bad, but exim
keeps writing those msgs in it's paniclog and it ennoys me.
To be more specific: I run Kernel 2.0.34 (Hamm) and the official
distribution 2.0 from Linux Press. Also UUCP and EXIM from that
distribution (installed the binaries, did not compile).
My /etc/exim.conf looks like this (only relevant parts):
# Transport
uucp_rmail:
driver = pipe
user = nobody
command = uux --stdin --nouucico --requestor \
'${if eq {$sender_address}{}{mailer-daemon}{$sender_address}}' \
$host!rmail $pipe_addresses
return_fail_output = true
no_retry_use_local_part
# Router
uucp_rmail:
driver = domainlist
transport = uucp_rmail
route_list = * downtown
The rest is more or less defaults. As I said: it seems to work fine, it
just complains but does everything I want.
Kind regards Frederick

HELP! (Trouble installing token ring card)
I recently installed a token ring card in my debian system (in addition to my ethernet card). To do this, I added the line: ibmtr to my /etc/modules file. Afterwards, the system has displayed the following during bootup: tr0: ISA 16/4 Adapter/II found using irq 7, PIOaddr a24, 16K shared RAM. tr0: Hardware address : 10:00:5A:74:14:65 It seems that the O/S is loading the token ring module and is able to see the card, but when I use ifconfig to assign an IP address (or make the card active using ifconfig tr0 up), the process that is running ifconfig hangs. This is what I get when I do ifconfig -a: loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:30 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:30 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:1B:48:CD:17 inet addr:192.168.64.18 Bcast:192.168.64.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:33 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x360 tr0 Link encap:16/4 Mbps TR HWaddr 10:00:5A:74:14:65 inet addr:0.0.0.0 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:0.0.0.0 BROADCAST MTU:2000 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Interrupt:7 Base address:0xa24 The other interface (my ethernet card) is working fine.

Sorry, I don't know the exact syntax, but remember to have read it with man apt-get. There is an option, that makes apt just download the files, without installing them. If you just run the apt-get command by itself, eg apt-get dselect-upgrade then it downloads and installs the files, but doesn't delete them.

Compiling a new kernel.
I'd like to go from 2.0.34 to 2.0.35. I'm moving kind of slow because I'm using the SuSE 3DLabs xserver for my Creative Labs video card, and I've heard that it won't work with kernels above 2.0.34 and I recently heard that it WILL work with 2.0.35. Anyway, I've had to recompile my existing kernel a few times, once for sound and once for the hell of it, so I've done that. But whenever I did it I just changed to '/usr/src/linux' and did the 'make menuconfig' config thing and configured the kernel. I've got the 2.0.35 source and I've got the updated kernel package for Debian but I noticed one thing: /usr/src/linux is linked to the 2.0.34 directory. Am I correct in assuming that I have to relink /usr/src/linux to the 2.0.35 directory? Anyway, can someone give me a down and dirty way to do this? Also, what are the steps for compiling a kernel? I've done it before, but I'm a scrap of paper kind of guy. I jot down notes as I go along from readmes, how-to's, whatever and at one time I had the process pretty well described on 3 or 4 scraps of paper, but I think I'm missing a scrap or two. I promise if someone gives me the steps, I'll organize them and keep 'em. Or better yet, is the process described pretty well in the readme's for the source (2.0.35)? I'm pretty sure that that's pretty close to the way that I did it the other 2 times, but the procedure is described differently in the kernel package readmes. TIA -- James R.

Then you don't need the shell account, just the ppp connection. The reason I'm trying minicom is I'm having a modem problem when I use pon and poff; if you have been following the modem freezeup string you'll know what I'm talking about.

Re: netscape library dependencies?
Chris Ryan wrote: Ed Cogburn wrote: Chris Ryan wrote: Hi, Further to this problem: I assumed that netscape is libc5 only, and There is a libc6 version of NS Communicator on ftp.netscape.com. As you go deeper in the path, select the 'unsupported' branch when you come to it. The libc6 based Communicator tarballs have 'glibc2' in their name (glibc2=libc6). redirected library loads to /usr/lib/libc5-compat (using LD_LIBRARY_PATH). This found the libc5 versions of most libraries, and I haven't found LD_LIBRARY_PATH necessary, at least it wasn't necessary for wp8 (also libc5 based). Just make sure the libc5-compat paths are in /etc/ld.so.conf, and you've updated things with 'ldconfig'. the libg++.so.27 and libstdc++.so.27 that are ONLY in the libc5 directory. But this showed that a library libXpm.so.4 was not found. This appears to be only in the libc6 set. This is very confusing. It appears that netscape uses both libc5 libraries (libg++.so.27 and libstdc++.so.27) as well as libc6 ones (eg. libXpm.so.4). But this is unlikely/impossible, as far as I can see. So, is there a libc5 version of libXpm.so.4 somewhere? Cheers, Chris. It is confusing, alas. What you stumbled on is the fact that NS Communicator (or are you using the limited 'navigator' version?) is built against both libc6 and *X Window* libs. The problem is the X libs NS wants *themselves* have to be built under libc5. So the libs in usr/lib/libc5-compat/ are mainly X libs that are needed for this reason. The libc5 lib itself is in /lib/. The Xpm lib you're looking for is a libc5-built X Window lib. So to get NS working, you need 'libc5', 'xlib6', and 'xpm4.7' from the 'oldlibs' section as displayed in dselect. At the moment I can't remember if the C++ libs are important. I *think* the old libc5 versions of NS can use the current ones. On the other hand I have an older version of libstdc++ installed (oldlibs section), and I don't know why. -- Ed C. Thanks for this Ed. I'm new to Linux, and so there's alot of info in your message here to think about... But I'm still unclear on a couple of things: 1. I got NS Communicator (not just the base nav as I implied) by following the www download links on NS home page. As you say, this appears to be libc5. Use ftp protocol and connect to ftp.netscape.com, and follow the 'communicator' sub dir. You'll eventually run into a dir with 'supported' and 'unsupported' sub dirs. Following 'unsupported' will eventually get you to the libc6 version (it has 'glibc2' in its name). 2. I have NS working now by installing xpm4.7 (libc5 version of libXpm.so.4 from /oldlibs) and by using LD_LIBRARY_PATH assigned to /usr/lib/libc5-compat. (I now have a script linked from /usr/lib that uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH.) I don't understand this. I *never* needed to mess with LD_LIBRARY_PATH for either NS (back when I was using the libc5 version, or Wordperfect (wp8), which also needs libc5. 3. I worry about having both /usr/lib/libc5-compat and X11 libs both in a search list (this I assume is what /etc/ld/so/conf is - I look in a moment...). This is because both /usr/lib/libc5-compat and /usr/X11R6/lib both have identical library link names for many libraries that NS uses. You can test this by using ldd and in turn making the load path look in each directory first. NS finds the libraries in both areas. On a search path list, it will just use the ones it finds first, irrespective of whether they are libc5 or libc6. Is this not so? Cheers, Chris. The libs may have the same filename, but they have a different 'header' in the lib itself. This 'header' is inspected by ldconfig when its run. ldconfig should be able to determine the libs used for an executable program (i.e., linked against libc4, libc5, and libc6). At least its done so for me. This explanation is in one of the manpages for ldconfig/ldd/ld.so. -- Ed C.
Severe DOS under 2.2.1
Dear all, Yesterday I had the rather disconcerting happening of my machine running a massive DOS in my abscence. I have an NE2000 card, and compiled a 2.2.1 kernel at 00.05 on Thursday morning, then went to bed. I then got up at about 7am, and did some ssh. I went out at 8. About 11pm, my machine started spewing random stuff out at full wack (10Mbits per sec), causing half the college network and a router to die. Since then, it has behaved fine (plugged in behind another box incase it repeats), and there is nothing in the kernel config or any logs to suggest anything extraordinary.

Extreme Security Suggestions?
Hi, I am wondering what is the recommended way to secure a sizeable volume (0.5-2GB ) of confidential data such that it is non-retreivable/unusable even in the event that a hacker has gained user level or shudder root access? I have thought of some kind of encryption; but I haven't seen anything fast enough to make that practical given that I would have to re-encrypt the whole data set after working on it. I also thought of simply having a dedicated partition for the data in question and unmounting it when I leave the machine. But I suppose a hacker with root access could easily remount it. Which leaves the option of having a dedicated physical drive and unplugging it when I leave. But that is annoying since I would have to leave my machine open all the time. :(.

Networking Debian and Win 95
I am trying to setup IPX networking on my main system at home, and I have run into a few major problems. 1) While my network card is detected and setup by ifconfig, it's address is not being used as the address for network traffic (i.e. squake seems to like 127.0.0.1 and I can't force it to use another IP address). 2) The secondary machine (a compaq running win95A) is unable to find my computer on the network even though SAMBA is setup (and apparantly running, i.e. it reports no error messages), I am also unable to even get a glimpse (over the network that is) of the Win 95 Machine. I have recompiled the kernal so many times (enabling different options which appear to be the correct ones), that I'm worried about the Hard disk surface in for the usr/src/linux tree :) 3) squake is refusing to believe I have IPX, even though I am running everything as specified in the IPX documentation (all docs relating to ipx, man pages, howto's, etc). I mainly wish to be able to run squake against my flatmate (who is running the compaq), we can get a quake game going if I run any other OS, so the network hardware is fine... whine mode on I just can't seem to setup the network under linux whine mode off. I have setup Internet access from the linux box big grin So I'm hoping I can get things setup locally :) Regards, Peter Ludwig
IRC
Hi All. I have to set up an IRC server. That's all right. But I also have to let a channel open in this same server, because I want my students to log in this channel as soon as they enter irc (bitchx -c channel or irc -c channel). Once upon a time, it was done using something called bots, that were basically users that never logged off (not counting power fails :). They were some kind of scripts I believe, but it was ages ago. Could somebody tell me (or point me some document where I can read about it, because in Debian's manuals pages I was not able to find any reference to anything like this) How can I do this. In short: I am setting this server for my 1999 math class and, I want them to talk with themselves. In order to do so, they will be getting accounts on Linux Boxes (or will connect using vncservers) and I would like to hava an alias like this: alias chat 'bitchx -c channel -n $USER irc.socrates.if.usp.br' I could not understand the use of the config files: .ircrc or .bitchxrc.

Samba doesn't really know the Windows security scheme very well, where there is a password for every service instead of password for every user as it is common in Unix. There are several possibilities: a) set security=user Now every Windows user has to log into the network using a valid unix username and the corresponding password. This is good if the windows people use few and sensible names to log into their machines. This way, their windows login serves as login for the Samba accounts too and they are never asked for a password again. Note that for encrypt passwords = yes (needed for Windows NT SR 3+ and Windows 98) you will need to set the passwords not with the system passwd but with the samba supplied smbpasswd. Both authentcations schemes use incompatible hashes. You will still need a valid Unix user for every Windows user. b) set security=share This tries to map the windows security model (one password per service, independent of the user using the service) to the unix security model, i.e. it will try to validate the given password against a certain (or several) unix password, i.e. you have to set the password with the unix passwd command. (Or with smbasswd if you use encrypt password = yes) Against which one? You may specify it with the USER option, so your share could be created with: security = share [Private] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/samba/private public = no user = private and you need a unix user private whose password is the password of the share. Sounds complicated but it has a lot of advantages. Remember Unix is multiuser.

I've you've got an editor that you'd like to write your emails in though, I think this is a 'feature' of mutt. Does mutt have a nice built in address book like pine? It has a list of aliases, from which you can select the one you want. I've not seen anything more swanky than that though. Does mutt do the IMAP thing like pine? Yes. I've not tried it, but I didn't rate pine's IMAP capabilities so mutt might be better (i.e. quicker). Is mutt able to lookup email addresses from an X.500 directory server via LDAP? You can specify the name of an external program to use to lookup addresses for you. i.e. if you have an external program that can look up addresses from an LDAP server, you're all set. I *really* appreciate the message threading you get in mutt for mailing lists too. That's one of it's greatest advantages for me. When I used mutt several years ago, I seem to remember that it was rather confusing to configure, whereas pine has a nice built in configuration utility with on-line help. It took me an afternoon of reading the docs to find out what all the possible options were, and then sitting down and hacking together my .muttrc file.

This sounds like a job for a ZIP drive? When you're done with the files, just remove the disk. Security problems solved. You may need more than one disk, but that's better than encrypting/decrypting all the time. For fast encryption, check out Sarah Flannerys' encryption technique. She was awarded the Irish Young Scientists Award recently for an encryption based on 2X2 matrixes. It seem to be as good other encryption techniques, but ten times faster. You'll have to do a search for it, though. I do know she published her results, I'm just not sure where. Can anyone out there help with a URL? Cheers, John Gay

Where do I set the password? Would be grateful for any help... You need to understand the varieties of security on offer in SMB networking, in particular the difference between security = user and security = share. Reading the smb.conf man page is a good idea also. In any case there is no straightforward way, AFAIK, to attach a password to a share in samba (despite the 'security = share' option). When a user connects to a share they are allways authenticated by their unix password. So the user needs a unix account. The password is their ordinary unix password. I suppose it might be possible to effectively get a share specific password by creating a unix account specifically for the share, and using the 'force user' option in smb.conf. Actually I'm not sure if that option changes who the user is authenticated as, it may just change who their actions are done as. In any case, without doing strange things, you cannot get the parrallel of the Windows system whereby all users of a share use the same password to access it. Kent West wrote: I don't recall seeing a reply to this, so I'll give it a shot, with the disclaimer that I don't know what I'm talking about. I believe you have to set the password with the smbpasswd utility. No, that is not correct. The smbpasswd program is used when encrypted passwords are used with samba. Typically it would be when machines running NT are the clients. For arcane reasons detailed in the file encrypted_passwords.txt file in the samba docs it is necessary for samba to keep its own copy of the user passwords. The passwords managed by smbpasswd are still the passwords of users. In recent samba releases smbpasswd can also be used to change a users Windows domain password from a unix host. Andrew.
