Yo me refería a borrar el contenido del archivo, no el archivo en sí mismo. Parece extraño pero es así (pruebalo). Pues no sé no sé. Copié ~/Mail/bugtraq a ~/Mail/bugtrack, lo abrí con el pine, leí un par de mensajes, borré el archivo con rm y pude leer otro par de mensajes. Me fui a /proc/pine_pid/fd/ y vi que no había ningún descriptor abierto para bugtrack (tampoco sé si lo hay en condiciones normales). Volví a la consola del pine y ya no pude leer más artículos. Probé también con borrar parte de bugtrack con el joe, y pine lo detectó (File shrank from xx to yy bytes, closing!). Bueno esto es una cosa general de todos lo unix. En Linux no lo había comprobado hasta hoy. La prueba que tu has realizado no es la mejor porque no sabemos si esos programas van abriendo y cerrando los ficheros según los usan, y además puede haber diferencias si abres en modo solo lectura o en modo lectura escritura. He realizado una pruebecita que si funciona. Es muy sencilla pruebala. Utilizo dos sesiones. En la sesion 1 hago: yes /tmp/kk Espero un tiempo prudencial para que me vaya metiendo en ese fichero cantidad de lineas. Interrumpo con Ctrl-C. A mi en unos 20 segundos me ha metido unos 70Mbytes. Ahora hago less /tmp/kk. Esta claro que less no lee todo el fichero. Lo deja abierto despues de leer la primera página. Desde la sesion 2 hago: wc /tmp/kk Después de un ratito me informa que tiene 34.416.640 lineas. Lo borro y compruebo que ya no esta. rm /tmp/kk ll /tmp/kk Vuelvo a la primera sesión donde less lo tiene atrapado y hago Ctrl-G. Less se queda un ratito leyendo ese fichero que ahora mismo está en el limbo para calcular el numero de total de lineas obteniendo la cifra correta de lineas que ya he mencionado. En el momento que el proceso cierre el fichero el kernel liberará el espacio de disco. Pues yo creo que el archivo desapareció tan pronto lo borré yo, sin esperar a cerrar el mailbox en pine. ¿Quizá estamos hablando de cosas distintas? No es que tu prueba no es la mejor para ver eso. La terminacion de la lectura depende del momemto en el que se encuentre el fin de fichero y si el fichero que coincide con la salida es el último de una lista de ellos cuando empiece a leerlo no estaría vacio. Creo que lo pillo tras leer 5 veces :-) cat file200Mbytes file5bytes file5bytes Esto resultaría en un file5bytes de 400 Mb, no? Y además, como digo en mi anterior post, el contenido de file5bytes original se perdería. M, 400 Mb o infinito... Bueno cuando empieze a leer el file5bytes ya tiene 400 pero cuando lea los 400 le quedará otros 400 y asi siempre. Tu fijaté en el comportamiento de tail -f fichero. Cuando empieza a leerlo tiene un tamaño y cuando llega al final no termina. Se queda esperando haciendo sucesivas lecturas para detectar mas lineas cuando el fichero crezca. Los programas normales terminan porque lo normal es cerrar cuando encuentras el fin del fichero pero si llegas al final y no cierras puedes seguir leyendo cuando alguien añada informacion al fichero. El cat jamás alcanzaría el final del fichero por eso sería infinito. Mm eso creo. :-) Saludos. -- Linux, como su propio nombre indica, es *el* sistema operativo.

Right now, with stable, contrib, non-free and non-US, I see, for example: --- available packages in section net --- --- available packages in section non-free/net --- --- available packages in section non-US/net --- --- available packages in section contrib/net --- Does it merge stable and unstable and just show the newest version of each package, or keep them separate so I can choose? When using *apt*, it will merge all the info from all the sources you specify in /etc/apt/sources.list. It will pick the latest versions and remove duplicates automatically (then pass the list to dselect for display), so I don't believe users can control this process.

After I have rebooted and try to load the driver after having logged in as a normal user I get the message that I do not have permission to load the module sound.o .

I have a small network that looks like: workstation running Linux and Win95 ethernet hub ethernet server runing linux modem isp The server runs ipmasquerade and works fine. The problem is that whenever I login to the server from the ws, no connection is made untill the modem connects to the isp. I first thought the problem had do do with loging in using the server name, but even if I use the ip address as in rlogin 192.168.0.1, same problem. Any suggestions on what causes this behavior.

Just a guess. rlogind requests the clients hostname from the source address (see man rlogind). If the client's hostname is not listed in the /etc/hosts file, then it will try to get it from the default nameserver, which I assume is on the other side of your modem at the ISP. The quick-fix is to add your Linux/Win95 client's hostname as an entry in the /etc/hosts of the server, assuming that you don't have any DNS servers running on your local network. -Mitch
Backups
Ok, I'm writing a small script to do backups for me, and thinking which dirs I need to back up. So far: /boot /etc (full directory, with subdirs) /dev /root some of the users (I have one only, but just in case). Any other suggestions? I'd backup some of the config files from other packages, but in terms of major things, am I missing anything? Andrew --- Andrei S.

Re: Vote Linus for Person of the Century
Don't even think Linus should BE the person of the century. That honor probably goes to Thomas Edison. We owe our current culture and style of If you want to go with the guy who had the biggest slam-bang effect on everything, it's either Oppenheimer or Truman. living to that guy. His experiments with his lightbulb led to the discovery of the Edison effect which led DeForest to do some more experiments which led to the Vacuum Tube which led to the Transistor, which lead to the IC Chip. Not only was Edison's work responsible for laying the ground work for radio and television, he also played vital roles in bringing motion pictures and recorded music to the public. Linus Torvalds is probablt important but nowhere near THE most important. Lets try to keep some perspective. I look at what Linus (leaving Stallman vs. Linus out for the moment) instigated (notice I don't say *did*, but instigation is what every candidate gets credit for anyway) and I honestly feel that it is unique and important, perhaps uniquely so. GNU/Linux is far and away the largest example of purely voluntary collaboration in the history of the planet. I say 'purely voluntary' because the developers of GNU/Linux were not starving, fighting for their lives, or trying to get ahead in the economic rat race. Their only motive was and is the creation of a superior system for their own use. This modus operandi of want -- voluntary unselfish colaboration -- result without any other waste involved has proven remarkably and hearteningly succesful. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null Britton Kerin

I like to install the driver on the different user accounts through the X init files. The command is: modprobe -a sound. This works fine when I am root. And also on user accounts if I change the permission for the sound driver file (sound.o) as root, but only until I reboot. After I have rebooted and try to load the driver after having logged in as a normal user I get the message that I do not have permission to load the module sound.o . I have to go the way though root to get it loaded after a reboot. Interesting, I'm not exactly sure what's going on here, perhaps someone who knows more about Linux would be able to help you with why this is happening... I would really like to be able to load the driver for users that want sound through their X initialization, but I am not able to figure out how. I would recommend placing the module in /etc/modules. It's pretty easy to do this manually, however. If (as root) you run the program 'modconf' you'll be able to set it up to install the sound modules with a snazzy front-end program :) I use it myself after I modify my kernel (just to check to make sure that I have all my modules still there, and other things like that :) ).

Hi Andrew, When I make backups, I do not backup /dev (I do not use any devices that have not been created automatically). I also backup /usr/local (including all subdirs), because I keep some manually installed programmes there and /boot, where I have a customized kernel (the modules are under /lib/modules and should maybe also be included). Also there may be some more dirs to backup under /var (e.g. mysql databases are under /var/lib/mysql, dosemu's hdimage is under /var/lib/dosemu and /var/www contains the system html-pages). I use tob (which is available as a debian package) for making backups. It is nice script that uses afio for making backups. It may be more convenient than writing your own script.

Booting Linux with lilo
Hi, I have a dual boot Linux/Win95 system where Linux is a RedHat 5.2 (Win95 is in my system for the sole reason I like to play games from time to time). The setup look like this: Device ContentsSCSI id /dev/sda1 Win95 C: lilo 0 /dev/sdb1 / 1 /dev/sdb2 /home 1 /dev/sdb3 /root 1 /dev/sdc1 Win95 D:6 /dev/sdd2 /usr10 /dev/sdd3 /opt10 /dev/sde1 /usr/local 11 /dev/sde2 /proj 11 I would like to add a SCSI Wide drive at SCSI id 8 to install Debian 2.1 that is released soon AND use lilo to boot to that drive. Is it possible? It would mean that /etc/lilo.conf would look something like this: boot=/dev/sda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b vga=6 prompt timeout=50 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7 label=l root=/dev/sdb1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.36-0.7.img read-only image=/boot/debian-kernel-2.0.36 label=d root=/dev/sdd1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.36.img read-only other=/dev/sda1 label=w table=/dev/sda Any success stories with a similar boot scheme? /Johan -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Johan Groth [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kupolen Data

Re: Vote Linus for Person of the Century- re: Edison
I can think of no single individual that had as great an impact on the daily life of the entire world. Whatever we were to become in the 20th century, we would get there in the company of Edison. --- Although we may owe a lot to Edison, most of us choose to ignore what he really was. In many ways Edison was the Bill Gates of his time. His greatest invention was actually the modern industrial research laboratory (IE: invention factory). Edison suffered from a huge NIH syndrom. That's why he refused to switch to AC current. He was also a bigot. Those two failings caused him to reject Tesla and eventually be ousted from the Edison electric company by stockholders. (Resulting in the General Electric Company). His discovery of thermionic emission was useless to him because his was a dc world. (the only first use of the Edison Effect was for rectifiers). He nevertheless patented it around a device for measuring electric current. His thinking was, I can't figure out a use for this, but I own it and if someone else figures out a use for it, they owe me! Edison's use of patents follows the patern of huge corporations today. During the early days of the motion picture industry, Edison used a Microsoft-Mafia type pattern to attempt to control the industry forcing small firms out of bussiness. == Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . _ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Re: Network Problem

The problem is that whenever I login to the server from the ws, no connection is made untill the modem connects to the isp. I first thought the problem had do do with loging in using the server name, but even if I use the ip address as in rlogin 192.168.0.1, same problem. Any suggestions on what causes this behavior. Just a guess. rlogind requests the clients hostname from the source address (see man rlogind). If the client's hostname is not listed in the /etc/hosts file, then it will try to get it from the default nameserver, which I assume is on the other side of your modem at the ISP. The quick-fix is to add your Linux/Win95 client's hostname as an entry in the /etc/hosts of the server, assuming that you don't have any DNS servers running on your local network. Thanks Mitch, that solved the problem. Sometimes I think I'll stay a newbie forever. Although that may not be such a bad idea.

Re: mouse-pointer acting weird
Probably your computer's board has no integrated COM port, so you are using an additional multi-io card. Aren't you? Probably this card uses an old UART 16450. Isn't it? You can test it, by typing dmesg | less. You should see something like this (this is displayed by my machine, as you can see I have two integrated 16550A ports and two 16450 ports on multi-io): Serial driver version 4.13 with no serial options enabled tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A tty02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16450 tty03 at 0x02e8 (irq = 3) is a 16450 The problems you experience are probably caused by fact, that the old 16450 UART has no FIFO input buffer. If your machine is heavily loaded, some bytes sent by the mouse are not received quickly enough and are overwritten by the next ones. I can see two solutions: 1) Upgrade your COM ports to 16550A (change the motherboard or buy an additional COM or multi-io card). This is an expensive but total solution. 2) Give the highest priority to COM interrupts. You can do it with irqtune, which is the part of hwtools package. In the typical case just add the /usr/lib/hwtools/irqtune line to one of your startup scripts in /etc/init.d. Read the /usr/doc/hwtools/irqtune.html after the installation of hwtools.

X Font Problem
Hi guys: Does anyone know where the font package that contains Adobe Helvetica is? I used APT for getting blackbox's package from the frozen section. I also grabbed the xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi packages, along with the basic stuff (xfont-base etc etc) needed for running X. When xdm loads it prompts me for user and password, then I enter it, screen flashes and prompts me for the password again (same screen). I couldnt get past this so I went back to the console (alt+ctrl+F1) and viewed /var/log/messages. messages tells me that it couldn't find this specific font when trying to load Blackbox, so it spits out the login prompt again in X. So, I checked the /etc/X11/blackbox/Blackbox-config file and in the titleFont and menuFont sections it calls for the font listed in my first paragraph above: titleFont: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* menuFont: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* -- I'm running slink and I'm picking up packages via apt-get from the frozen section of the ftp.

mutt-Netscape and nmh
I have been using Netscape and more recently mutt to download and read mail. I installed nmh so that I could 'burst' digests apart but it doesn't seem that nmh and netscape/mutt folders are compatible. Is this a correct assumption? If I use 'folders' nmh lists my folder directories but doesn't list any mail folders such as 'Psycholoquy' or 'Debian-User' which mutt and netscape read and put mail into. How can I get nmh to recognize these folders? When I searched dejanews people talked about converting mh folders to Netscape but not the other way around. Or am I way off and just not using the syntax correctly? I have tried 'scan', 'burst', and 'folders' but nothing seems to work. There doesn't seem to be much documentation for this system either. I downloaded mh-papers but am not sure how to read the tex documents. As you can tell I am not very experienced with either nmh or TEX. Lance
Re: mutt-Netscape and nmh
Hi, but it doesn't seem that nmh and netscape/mutt folders are compatible. Is this a correct assumption? mh handles deals with mail a bit differently that either mutt or netscape. An mh folder is a directory containg a numbered file for each message, both mutt and netscape just use one big file with all the messages concatenated together. to convert fomr a a mh style folder to one readable by netscape you must use the pack(1) command, and to convert from a mutt folder to an mh one you must use inc(1): 18:57 sionnach:~/Mail inc +newfolder -file mailfolder Create folder /home/albertw/Mail/newfolder? y Incorporating new mail into newfolder... 1+ 07/09 Postmaster Message from mail serverDelete.

Partic 18:57 sionnach:~/Mail ls ~/Mail/newfolder/ 1 2 If I understand your problem corrrectly, you will have to `burst` the digest, then use packf to make it readble by netscape. You could allways try using exmh for all your mail which is a nice graphical interface to mh basically, never tried it on debian, but I use it all the time in work. hope thats of help, Al
Which are the permitions for /dev/tty?
Hi. I seem to have a little trouble with pgp/gpg and /dev/tty permitions. My /dev/tty device was like this: root:/dev $ ls -l tty crw-r--r-- 1 root sys5, 0 Mar 6 17:26 tty root:/dev $ And pgp/gpg were breaking with permitions errors with /dev/tty. So tried this: add my account to the group 'sys', and changing /dev/tty to be group write, like this: root:/dev $ ls -l tty crw-rw-r-- 1 root sys5, 0 Mar 6 17:26 tty root:/dev $ Now, everything works, but I'm not very convinced that this is the right way to work thing out. BTW, I'm using kernel 2.2.2-ac7, but I've tried this 2.0.35, 2.0.36, 2.2.1, 2.2.2-ac4 and it gives the same result with all of them. Can anybody out there just reasure that this is ok, _or_ if this is not ok, then just give any ideia as to what might be happening?

I was under the impression that mutt was capable of reading mh-style mail folders. (in fact, I've been debating moving over to mh-style folders, to make syncrhonization across machines and my pilot easier). Checkout the mutt web site, mutt.org, I think. I don't know anything about netscape. Let me know if you figure out how to get mutt to natively read mh. -Seth -- It is by will alone I set my mind in motion

Re: X Font Problem

Does anyone know where the font package that contains Adobe Helvetica is?
I used APT for getting blackbox's package from the frozen section. I also
grabbed the xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi packages, along with the basic
stuff (xfont-base etc etc) needed for running X.
Should be xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi, in the
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/{75,100}dpi directories.
When xdm loads it prompts me for user and password, then I enter it, screen
flashes and prompts me for the password again (same screen). I couldnt get
past this so I went back to the console (alt+ctrl+F1) and viewed
/var/log/messages.
messages tells me that it couldn't find this specific font when trying to
load Blackbox, so it spits out the login prompt again in X.
Hmmm, so xdm can find a font, but BlockBox is having trouble?
Perhaps your BlackBox is broken... try using a different window
manager, just for a test (I'm not playing advocacy here!), to trim the
problem down.
Since xdm displays a login window (I presume), then your X server can
clearly find *some* fonts.
So, I checked the /etc/X11/blackbox/Blackbox-config file and in the
titleFont and menuFont sections it calls for the font listed in my first
paragraph above:
titleFont: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*
menuFont: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*
These look fine, afaict
Urrgh... I just tried starting an xterm with that font, and it looked
*awful*. Try substituting this:
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
I think the 120 is a slot too far to the right in the font
descriptor, but I can't say for sure.
Thanks!

Smartlist not sending to sender
I'm using smartlist for some small mailinglists on a Debian machine (I hope this isn't too offtopic) Is there a way to configure smartlist NOT to distribute a message to the sender of the message ? I don't want my own postings. I've tried to read the manual, but I didn't find any information on the subject. Regards, \EF

Color Depth [was: X Font Problem]
Ok, guys this is a call for help again. I solved my other problem for now. Blackbox was listed on the first line of my window-managers file. (yes, I'm very new to Linux in general). I changed that first like to Window Maker and now I'm able to get a window manager up. As for the subject line in this email, I'm having a but of a problem with severe dithering. I'm running a pretty typical (I think) video card / display. My video card is a Matrox Millennium 2MB PCI, and my display is an older Gateway 2000 Vivitron 17 Before I became a Debian user, I was running RedHat 5.2 (which was an extreme nightmare for me). Since I switched, I know now that I will never even think of going back to a RedHat system ever again. For one, my system isn't full of crap anymore. Anyway, back to the topic: I setup XFree86 manually, which I didn't have to do with RH 5.2. With RedHat my display looked great, no dithering; it looked like a typical 16 million color display etc..nice looking images etc. As it would appear in Win95 at 1024x768 in 16 bit color or 24 bit color. Now, with the Debian system I have now, and the fact that I set up Xfree86 manually using xf86config, I am almost positive that I made a mistake, because I have seen it the way it is supposed to be when I was running RedHell..err Hat. So, does anyone out there in Debian land use a Matrox Millennium 2mb video card (and maybe the same monitor?) that would share their XF86Config file contents with me? Or, at least point me in the right direction? I don't know if I can live with the mess that I'm seeing on my display right now -- crappy colors. AFAIK, I'm running the SVGA server, in 1024x768. If someone can help, what would you need me to post here as far as my setup is concerned? Many, many thanks - Brian
