Que nada! Muito trabalho, pouco dinheiro :) Quanto a escrever livros, o mercado editorial esta fervilhando, se voces escreverem um livro de linux podem escolher a editora, ela publicara, qualquer que seja.

Ela e' boa para desktop tambem. Mas ate a versao 2.0 ela ainda nao era user friendly no sentido que um usuario leigo tem por user friendly, reconhecer isso e um passo necessario para remedia-lo. Eu disse que ela e excelente para servidores, talvez tenha me expressado mal. Eu acho que ela da de 10 a zero na Red Hat para servidores, que sao instalados e mantidos por pessoas com know how.

Depois de instalada, no entanto, Debian e tao boa quanto, ou melhor, e o apt e um dos grandes responsaveis pela diferenca. Se voces querem minha opiniao sincera sobre a Debian, ela precisa: 1) Instalacao (cada vez) mais simples 2) Metodo de verificacao e validacao criptografica de integridade dos pacotes 3) Suporte a internacionalizacao de pacotes e do dpkg 4) Mecanismo mais dinamico de releases.

O devido fato de programar em shell são as aplicações que necessito no servidor, para um adm, não existe nada melhor dq scripts para agilizar o trabalho do dia a dia Deveria ter me explicado melhor... o problema não são scripts em si, mas o c shell em particular. Use o bash, ou melhor ainda Perl, Python, Gush, Tcl... O problema é que ele parece com C mas não é C, tem muitas limitações arbitrárias e introduz vícios de C. Procure o artigo do Tom Christiansen e confira. Já que o amigo recomendou utilizar C, podemos utilizar C, mas quem conhece suficiente GTK para jogar isso em ambiente gráfico.. Não recomendo nada em particular, é só que de shell não dá pra acessar GTK.

re: qmail..
I just installed qmail a few weeks back.. the machine then had just an eth0 and ppp0 connection. But recently I just installed an eth1 card, and now have another network running on it. I straight away redid my tcpserver file that allows machines of certain ip's to relay mail off my smtp server. Everything still works for the old eth0 clients, but as soon as a machine on my 192.168.1.x subnet does some mail on the eth1 network. The server complains about the domain they are sending to not being in the rcpthosts. This is pretty stupid, as I can't list the whole internet list of domains in such as file, so I am thinking something else is wrong.. Anyone with any ideas???

The RedHat system has a symlink /dev/mouse - /dev/cua1 and works fine with both gpm and X. However, gpmconfig and X both fail to recognize the mouse at all under Debian. I've tried both allowing gpmconfig to guess the device (it always guesses ttyS0, which is my modem) and specifying ttyS1 on the command line. Either way, it receives no packets at all. In X, the mouse doesn't move at all. The mouse is a logitech 3-button mouse, and I'm pretty sure the protocol should be mman in gpm (or MouseMan in X). I've also tried ms (and Microsoft in X) which is what the redhat system uses. Nothing gives me any mouse movement at all. I have a 3 button Logitech Trackball that works in every dist I have tried.

Switch to the corresponding ttyS* device instead (e.g., cua0 - ttyS0, cua1 - ttyS1, etc.). I'm using 2.0.36 as installed from a slink CD. The use of cua1 is only on RedHat (I seem to remember trying ttyS1 on that, and having it fail too, but that was a long time ago and my memory of it is sketchy). Could I need to add a kernel module for this? Or might I have added one which conflicts? (I might have added PS2-mouse by mistake, now that I think of it) Stuart. If I recall correctly, you only have to enable the mouse in the kernel if it IS a ps2 mouse. I'll check: VT2 root-Deb-Slink:~# grep -i mouse /usr/src/linux/.config # CONFIG_MOUSE is not set Thats right mouse isn't set because I use a serial mouse. That could be the problem.

And now I can't use any of the 2.0.x kernels AND have ppp work.

This is really driving me batty, but I thought you might like to know (Kris) that it isn't just your machine. I've just about decided to try a complete reformat/reinstall, as I've run out of just about all other options. Nice to know I'm not alone :-) I also thought about just using the 2.0.36 kernel, but as I have a dual PPro system... Git ;-) I'm on a lowly Cyrix 166 :-( Oh yes, something else I forgot to mention. I also put the proposed-updates link in my sources.list file, and upgraded to the packages present at that location. As I had not done this previously, I suspect this is where the problem is, so I'm thinking about reinstalling, upgrading, and then NOT upgrading again with the proposed-updates. I've tried it with a virgin Slink install, proposed-updates, and then did an apt-get update; apt-get install with libc6, netbase so on using proposed-updates and the potato unstable directories. Nothing changed (tried at all stages). My next guess: incorrect serial port settings (mouse ttyS1 modem ttyS2) them manually for my modem IRQ). I'll see what letting it set them automatically does. 95% chance it'll do nothing (it works in 2.0.36 as I said), but I can try. Otherwise, it's to the newsgroups/linux-ppp. But I can't try it now. 02.24am. C++ assigments suck. I'll get back to everyone tomorrow on what the serial port autodetect does. Thanks, Kris

I have the following packages installed: kernel_headers.2.0.36-3, kernel_source.2.0.36-3, kernel-package. So what gives? Do I have to untar/zip the files? Why didn't the installation do this?

Mail issues
Hello, My debian 2.1 box has two NIC's: one connected to my DSL router and one connected to the hub for my local network. I recently registered the domain mattyt.net and had my ISP point it to my DSL IP and also point mail.mattyt.net at the same IP. I have sendmail and qpopper installed. The issue is that I still use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as my main email, not [EMAIL PROTECTED], therefore I am still using fetchmail to get mail off of mail.oz.net. When I do this, any mail for other users on my system (tpad and cheryl) gets downloaded into mattyt's INBOX (/var/spool/mail/mattyt), not into cheryl's or tpad's. This happens when someone sends mail to user@mattyt.net or user@mail.mattyt.net. Any suggestions?

Re: Kernel 2.2.x: PPP routing problem?
A quick kludge that might fix your problem (it fixed it on my machine under hamm, and after I get done upgrading to slink, I'm going to try it there) is to kill inetd. I think the problem revolves around the netbase script in the /etc/init.d folder trying to use ifwadm(or something like that) instead of ifchains(or something like that). I still don't understand why this works or why the problem has never happened to me before now with the 2.2 kernels under both hamm and slink, but thought this info might be of use to you. Sean My next guess: incorrect serial port settings (mouse ttyS1 modem ttyS2) them manually for my modem IRQ). I'll see what letting it set them automatically does. 95% chance it'll do nothing (it works in 2.0.36 as I said), but I can try. Otherwise, it's to the newsgroups/linux-ppp. But I can't try it now. 02.24am. C++ assigments suck. I'll get back to everyone tomorrow on what the serial port autodetect does. Thanks, Kris

Where the email will get long (again appologies):
[snip]
I've used ppp_2.3.5-2 and kernel 2.2.{6,7,8,9} with no problems, so it
should be possible.
Your log files contain LCP request and reject messages from your end but
only LCP requests from the other end, so it looks as if the other end
is not seeing your machine's LCP requests; in fact the other end seems to
be repeating the same request over and over, ignoring the LCP reject message
that your machine returns each time. That makes me think that wherever the
immediate problem is, it isn't in your ppp configuration or chatscripts.
I notice that kernel 2.2.7 and 2.2.8 both include patches to the kernel's
ppp driver; I'd suggest that you upgrade to 2.2.9 (works for me) and see
how that works.
Good luck,

Hi, I'm looking at setting up several machines running under vmware with slink and/or potato. I'm currently running my network over a single 28.8 dial-up connection, so I'd like to mirror the distribution trees (main, contrib, non-free and non-US) and not have to download the same packages multiple times. What would the best way to set this up be? I can mirror the entire distribution tree for i386 (complete but slow) or if someone knows a way to set up a caching proxy with a large cache (preferable, especially if I could move the cache into a local distribution mirror) I'd rather go that way to save bandwidth. Disk space is not the issue here. I have about 10G or more free on my server, and I can pop in an extra 4G into my vmware box if I need. But until Ricochet upgrades or I can afford DSL I'm stuck at 28.8 Thanks, Ian
Re: RPM packages
yes you can do that, with a tool called alien and perhaps some other things as well.

I'd love to know how to shut that thing off as well. Completely unneeded
and annoying as all hell.
One solution is hidden in the VIM-docs. See options.txt.
*'shortmess'* *'shm'*
'shortmess' 'shm' string (default )
global
{not in Vi}
This option helps to avoid all the |hit-return| prompts caused by file
messages, for example with CTRL-G, and to avoid some other messages.
It is a list of flags:
flag meaning when present~
f use (3 of 5) instead of (file 3 of 5)
[plus more flags...]
This gives you the opportunity to avoid that a change between buffers
requires you to hit return, but still gives as useful a message as
possible for the space available. To get the whole message that you
would have got with 'shm' empty, use :file!
Useful values:
shm=No abbreviation of message.
shm=a Abbreviation, but no loss of information.
shm=at Abbreviation, and truncate message when necessary.
Plus you will want to read message.txt's explanation of |hit-retrun|
messages:
*hit-return*
Press RETURN or enter command to continue
This message is given when there is something on the screen for you to read,
and the screen is about to be redrawn:
- After executing an external command (e.g., :!ls and =).
- Something is displayed on the status line that is longer than the width of
the window, or runs into the 'showcmd' or 'ruler' output.
To reduce the number of hit-return prompts:
- Set 'cmdheight' to 2 or higher.
- Add flags to 'shortmess'.
- Reset 'showcmd' and/or 'ruler'.

Re: FSCK!!! only 8 disks!!!!
WTF?!?!?!?!? Please someone tell me that linux isn't limited to 8 scsi disks! If it isn't tell me how the FSCK to fix this. I'm trying to set up a raid array with 10 disks after a couple crashes I read man MAKEDEV and found out that there is indeed a limit of 8 scsi disks. 8-( $ zless /usr/doc/HOWTO/SCSI-HOWTO.gz ... read read ... ./MAKEDEV sd\* should create entries for all SCSI disk devices (doing this should create /dev/sda through /dev/sdp, with fifteen partition entries for each) ... read read some more ... I say should because this is the standard unix behavior - the MAKEDEV script in your installation may not conform to this behavior, or may have restricted the number of devices it will create. If MAKEDEV won't do the right magic for you, you'll have to create the device entries by hand with the mknod command. The block/character type, major, and minor numbers are specified for the various SCSI devices in section ``Device Files'' in the appropriate section. Take those numbers, and use (as root) mknod /dev/device b|c major minor ... yup, that seems to be it. Boy, ain't that /usr/doc directory great :) HTH, Eric -- E.L.

[snip] I have also been using the loadkeys se-latin1 command after I have edited the keymaps in /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/se-latin1.map.gz Use kbdconfig (as root) and choose n - i386 - qwerty - fi-latin1 I'm having trouble with se-latin1 (can't use ']'), but fi-latin1 works fine. It seems that all characters above 127 is impossible to get/put in the console mode! Why? You must tell bash to accept 8-bit character input and output. Add the following to /etc/inputrc (or ~/.inputrc): set convert-meta off set input-meta on set output-meta on /Andreas -- Andreas Persenius [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've heard that's pretty possible to convert .rpm files to .deb... but how? Is it really possible? If so, it will cause any damage to my system? Alien can be used to install binary packages, but it does so outside of the dpkg database. (Actually if you run deselect these packages appear in the installed list of packages, but AFAIK dpkg will not be able to do anything with them, and reports them as unknown). So you should NOT use alien to install ANY package that contains static libraries required by the rest of the system. HOWEVER it should be safe to install application binaries that NOTHING else depends on. As an example I have installed the netscape communicator that came with Redhat on my hamm (upgraded to slink) system by using alien. === Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . _ Do You Yahoo!?

TIA! -- p. I believe Netscape is the company; Navigator is the browser; Communicator is the suite that contains the browser (Navigator), mail client (Messenger), and maybe another few odds ends. Even lighter-weight than Navigator, you might take a look at Chimera, Opera, Mozilla, and Lynx.

You will need to set it up on the remote computer for NFS.
