Smail 3.2.0
Hola a todos/as:
Estoy intentando configurar smail pero se me resiste, asi que a ver si
me podeis hechar una mano.
Me sugirieron las siguientes modificaciones para enmascarar al usuario
con el que me conecto:
1.- '/etc/smail/maps/from':
#usuariolocal [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Nombre Apellido)
juanjo [EMAIL PROTECTED] (JJ Martinez)
2.- En '/etc/smail/routers', he reemplazando cualquier cosa que
contenia 'transport=smtp' por 'transport=smtp-rewrite'
3.- Al final de '/etc/smail/transports' , añadi estas 6 lineas:
smtp-rewrite:
driver=tcpsmtp, max_addrs=100, -max_chars, inet,
remove_header=From,
insert_header=From:${lookup:from:lsearch{maps/from}{$value}},
insert_header=Sender:${lookup:from:lsearch{maps/from}{$value}};
use_bind, defer_no_connect, -local_mx_okay, defnames
Conecto bien y me ocurre que solo puedo enviar msgs a quienes tengan mi
mismo dominio (nexo.es), cualquier otro (p.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) me es
devuelto y el mailer-daemon me dice que no encuentra un recipiente
valido para este msg y tb que no conoce un host '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
He mirado la pagina de manual de smail, entre otras cosas, pero mi
ingles no es nada bueno, asi que estoy realmente perdido... a no ser que
haya documentación en castellano para smail ¿la hay?

RE: login shell
-- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A: Lista Debian debian-user-spanish@lists.debian.org Asunto: login shell Fecha: miércoles 17 de marzo de 1999 20:15 Hola, estoy un poco liado del modo en que funcionan las shell. Si el login lo hago como usuario horacio, el prompt que obtengo es siempre: $ sin que indique nada más. Yo pensé que sería el bash ya que bash siempre va con el signo $, pero: $ bash homega:~$ y aquí resulta que las opciones que pueda tener en .bashrc me funcionan. O sea, que antes estaba en otra shell... ¿sh? (aunque la primera login shell que aparece en /etc/shells es `ash'... pero no puedo cambiar a ash invocándolo como `ash' desde la línea de comandos ... ¿porque no es una shell interactiva?). ¿Se puede hacer que el login te meta directamente en bash? En el fichero /etc/passwd aprecen los usuarios + una serie de campos asociados que indican que ese usuario tiene un directorio /home/nombreusuario y también el nombre del shell que usa. Cambialo ahí. Y de otro modo, ¿cómo puedo hacer que la shell del login lea ~/.bashrc? Creo que el .bashrc es un fichero de recursos, y ahí tienes definidas o puedes editar las propiedades que tiene el bash. Los otros archivos pueden lanzar programas, yo al principio y para aclararme me hice la siguiente asociación con el DOS, el config.sys se correspondería con el .bashrc y el autoexec.bat con el .profile o con .bash_profile. No es lo mismo, desde luego, pero creo que la diferencia entre autoexec.bat y config.sys es parecida a la del .bashrc y el .profile El man bash dice que cuando bash es invocado como login shell, primero lee /etc/profile, luego ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login y ~/.profile, y al salir lee ~/.bash_logout (si existe). Bueno, aquí no dice que lee ~/.bashrc, sólo si es invocada como shell no de login... ¿quiere eso decir que en realidad el login es bash y no otra? Ni ~/bash_login, ni ~/.profile, ni ~/bash_logout existen... Lo único que veo es que hay una diferencia entre el bash si es de login o si es interactivo (si se invoca desde la consola), ya que el primero no lee ~/.bashrc. Por lo demás, un lío, a ver si alguien me puede aclarar algo.

Pero cuando le digo de utilizar el acceso multi-cd... ¡mierda! Después de darme un mogollón de historias por conflictos de paquetes que se necesitan y no están, me aborta con el típico error 1. ¿Qué le tengo que poner cuando me pide los directorios para stable, non-free, etc?

Re: Help connecting with Earthlink
I switched to Earthlink a couple of months ago and tried many, many different configurations (PAP, CHAP, whatever) until I realized I had to put in my username as ELN/username in place of just username that I had become accustomed to.

Squid refusing to fetch article
I recently upgraded Squid to version 2.1.2-1. I thought I'd rewritten my configuration (cacheing proxy forwarding all requests outside the local network to another squid) appropriately, but intermittently Squid complains that it is Unable to forward this request at this time., claiming that the parent cache is unreachable even though I can connect to it using telnet. The problem generally goes away after a few seconds. Does anyone have any idea why it's doing it, and how to make the problem go away? I've got a feeling I'm missing something really obvious in the configuration.

Re: fortran compilier recommendations
I have used the Absoft compiler because it supported Vax style fortran structures which we needed for some code we were porting. It is OK as a compiler. I needed it to work with g77 since we used several libraries built with g77 which proved to be very difficult to compile with ABSOFT due to many workarounds to get them to work with g77. I succeeded with significant work in linking and correctly running a program that used Absoft f77, g77, gcc and g++. I consider that to be to ABSOFT's credit. I did find one compiler bug involving character functions, and I had trouble with debugging symbols not being properly included if the object file was sent to a different directory from the source file. I have not investigated optimization significantly. It turns out the g++ piece is the slowpoke and that is not my responsibility. If I could survive with g77 I would do so. ABSOFT is not that great advantage over g77 in my case except for the fortran structures. Have tried the comp.lang.fortran newsgroup. They have significant discussions of issues like this.

If you need your machine for real work then you shouldn't be running unstable. If debian unstable isn't tested on machines used for real work, debian is going to end up a toy distribution which is only suitable for work on systems which aren't appropriate for real work. I agree wholeheartedly. While one shouldn't complain too much if one runs into problems, real life testing of unstable is important. I do appreciate the heads up warnings about problems in potato though. I plan on moving one of my main servers over to potato as soon as the apache-ssl/common conflict gets straightened out. I'll have it track a little behind real potato just to avoid unexpected gotchas, but you're right -- if someone isn't testing unstable how's it ever going to get stable? :-) -- . | Celebrate the Linux WE'RE NEVER GOING OUT Randy | OF BUSINESS SALE by downloading an entire ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | operating system, apps, games, utilities, http://www.golgotha.net | and source code at http://www.debian.org

Help with Kensington Expert Mouse (Trackball)
All, I am trying to get my trackball to operate with gpm 1.14 in v2.1. This device is on /dev/ps2aux and no matter what protocol I try, I get erratic mouse movements and no button events. This is confirmed from mev. Can I change something in gpm.conf? Can anyone tell me what the 'inword() LUT' string in the config file means? I wonder if I could change something in this string to make things work better. This trackball reports 'PS/2 Port PDP Ballpoint Protocol' from the help in Win95. The help from DOS suggest installing as 'Expert, Thinking, Kensington, IBM or MS' mouse but the various MS protocols are n/g. Any help with this would be appreciated. This trackball is a superb device and I don't want to give it up!!! I am just getting my feet wet in Linux but what I see so far I like. I am comfortable with the command line on DOS, OS/2 Warp, don't like Win95 even tho its on this machine. I did some beta with DR/DOS Concurrent PC DOS (boy, that dates me!) and very little C programming long ago (Turbo C, v3.1 Borland C++ ).

removing OnTrack DDO
Summary: is it possible to remove OnTrack Disk manager/Dynamic Drive Overlay without trashing everything on the disk? Long version: I have two disks in one PC; /dev/hda and /dev/hdb. hdb has DDO installed on it from when it served in a DOS PC with old BIOS. When I installed, I needed the data intact; later I migrated the data to ext2 partitions on the same disk, all without removing DDO. Linux can handle DDO's munging just fine, and the boot disk /dev/hda didn't have it, so no problem. Now I want to swap them (hdb is a lot bigger than hda); everything works ok, except I can't boot off the big disk. The DDO runs and says invalid BIOS translations are being used -- I chose LBA mode. I can boot off floppy ok, which is what I have been doing. I'd prefer to remove DDO, if it's easy. thanks, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.

Re: Stumped!! Cdrom not a valid block dev.
My cdrom has worked fine for months - after i figure out it was a goldstar. Now Debian claims it is not a valid block device. On boot, I get the cdrom detected, happy goldstar message. which is good. I try to mount it and I get not a valid block dev. I tried to MAKEDEV and it seem to compile but still not lucky. I even tried mount cdrom, but of course in /etc/fstab it is /dev/gscd. Any help on this one? Um, this may be a silly question, but is there a CD in the drive? Also, I think you will get such a message if the CD is broken, or audio format, so try another one.

cdrecord,/dev/pg0 /usr/include/linux
Greetings Debi-one's, Are you trying to compile the cdrecord or some other thing that makes use of the pg driver? Are you having no joy? Does the @#%$%$! cdrecord merely say Cannot open SCSI and then exit? Are you losing your hair by the fistful whilst you beat upon your breast and keyboard with equal ferocity? Have you upgraded both kernel and cdrecord without reward? Cry no more. cd /usr/include ls -ld linux drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 Oct 10 17:13 linux Note that 'd' in the first column. It is your enemy. Debian hamm (and maybe others) didn't distribute the kernel source. So instead of that being a shambolic link into the kernel source, it is a standalone directory full of the header files for the linux-2.0.3? whatever kernel hamm was built around. Now having upgraded to linux-2.2.3, that standalone directory stands there alone with a bunch of obsolete header files. cdrecord looks in there, doesn't find pg.h and doesn't build in the ability to talk to the /dev/pg0. Solution :- su cd /usr/include rm -rvf linux ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux ls -ld linux lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Mar 18 10:40 linux - /usr/src/linux/include/linux Rebuild ab initio cdrecord.

Re: removing OnTrack DDO
I have no direct experience with Ontrack, but it sounds like you have a vaild (non-ONTrack) partition table in the MBR sector of that disk since you can access it as a slave or after booting from a floppy. But the OnTrack DDO code is still residing in that sector, which comes into play when you boot from that disk. Getting rid of it should be just matter of replacing that code by overwriting it with some other boot loader such as Lilo - after booting from the floppy. I would definitely make a backup copy of that sector first with the dd command - just in case. At least then you have a record of the partition table values to work from if something goes wrong. Additional note: I believe Ontrack normally keeps it's own special partition table in the MBR (sector 1) which is unusable except by the Ontrack boot code, and then keeps the actual partition table at an offset of 63 sectors from that. Since you can access the partitions on that disk without Ontrack being loaded, it would seem that your real partition table is in the first sector - unless Linux is smart enough to figure out all of Ontrack's nonsense on it's own. Tom Hamish Moffatt wrote: Summary: is it possible to remove OnTrack Disk manager/Dynamic Drive Overlay without trashing everything on the disk? Long version: I have two disks in one PC; /dev/hda and /dev/hdb. hdb has DDO installed on it from when it served in a DOS PC with old BIOS. When I installed, I needed the data intact; later I migrated the data to ext2 partitions on the same disk, all without removing DDO. Linux can handle DDO's munging just fine, and the boot disk /dev/hda didn't have it, so no problem. Now I want to swap them (hdb is a lot bigger than hda); everything works ok, except I can't boot off the big disk. The DDO runs and says invalid BIOS translations are being used -- I chose LBA mode.

OT: 95MHz system problem SOLVED
I finally tracked down the issue with my system. It turns out that the memory and my motherboard wouldn't play nice together. My parents have a PII-450 system, which also has 128MB of PC-100 SDRAM. (They wanted a computer that they wouldn't have to upgrade for many years. My dad mostly plays minesweeper with it, and my mom likes to make greeting cards and do some light word processing. At this rate, they may never need to upgrade again. :- ) Anyway, I swapped the pair of 64MB DIMMs in their system with my 128MB DIMM last night. I did 80 kernel compiles last night at 100MHz with no problems, so I think I'm set. Interestingly, the memory which gave my system fits seems to work just fine in theirs. On my system, Windows would crash or hang or fail in some way within about 20 minutes. I ran their system for about an hour, playing some games and printing and so forth, and didn't see a problem. Oh, well. :-/ I'm going to watch their system carefully for signs of instability (beyond the normal Windows stuff) but for now I think everything's cool. Thanks for all the suggestions and help people have given me while I was sorting this out.
