Pasarela sockets/puerto serie
Hola He rebuscado mucho navegando en el dselect, pero no he encontrado el paquete que busco. Me sonaba que había un paquete para hacer de pasarela entre un puerto serie y sockets, algo así como para acceder a un modem desde otro equipo no directamente conectado a el. Mi objetivo es poder enviar comandos AT desde un puesto de la red a un modem situado físicamente en otro. Algo así como el port-forwarding del nucleo, pero para un puerto serie. Además de este uso que necesito se me ocurren otros, poder administrar equipos que tienen consola de administración pero no admiten administración remota por telnet, como concentradores X.25, hubs sin gestión remota, ... ¿existe este paquete?

offtopic: W2000 por la cara
Lo siento pero no puedo evitar hacer este comentario. Según el telediario de ayer 16-03-2000, la revista PC World regala el W2000 este mes de marzo. Si si habeis oido bien. El tema es que aunque en el CD debe de poner versión de evaluación, han debido de meter la pata, pero bien metida, y te regalan la versión completita y sin restricciones. Parece ser que los de PC World se han debido de pasar por todas partes para retirar las revistas que quedabán. Para los usuarios que hayan comprado la revista, Microsoft ha dicho que si devuelves el CD (con la versión completa), te dan uno con la de evaluación. ¡¡¡JA, JA, JA, JA!!! JUA, JUA, JUA, JUA, JUA!! Razones para pensar que los usuarios son subnormales, no les faltan, porque si nos han conseguido vender su m.. de Windows como si fuese el mejor sistema operativo del mundo, porque no iba a colar esto otro tambien. Algunos dicen, que es una estrategia de Microsoft para conseguir aumentar el numero de usuarios evitando la fuerte competencia que se avecina por parte de Linux. De esta manera conseguirian incrementar enormemente el numero de copias ilegales de este sistema operativo haciendo que se extendiese y estableciese como sistema operativo mayoritario y estandar. Ya sabes: Si todos tienen instalado el Windows 2000, a ti tampoco te va a quedar más remedio que instalarlo. La verdad es que si es una estrategia de Microsoft, no es nada mala y no sería de extrañar ya que lo que nadie puede discutir es que Microsoft tiene el mejor departamento de marketing del mundo. Así que, no me seas malo y si has comprado la PC World, ya estas llendo a algún sitio oficial de Microsoft a que te cambien la versión completa por una de evaluación. Que mal suena ¿verdad?¡¡¡ JUA, JUA, JUA ! Saludos David Baranda

Me sonaba que había un paquete para hacer de pasarela entre un puerto serie y sockets, algo así como para acceder a un modem desde otro equipo no directamente conectado a el. Hola, lo más parecido que he visto, y que te puede ayudar, es una nueva opción de los kernels 2.2, que dice algo así como: Network Block Device support CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD Saying Y here will allow your computer to be a client for network block devices, i.e. it will be able to use block devices exported by servers (mount filesystems on them etc.). Communication between client and server works over TCP/IP networking, but to the client program this is hidden: it looks like a regular local file access to a block device special file such as /dev/nd0. Network block devices also allows you to run a block-device in userland (making server and client physically the same computer, communicating using the loopback network device). Read Documentation/nbd.txt for more information, especially about where to find the server code, which runs in user space and does not need special kernel support. Note that this has nothing to do with the network file systems NFS or Coda; you can say N here even if you intend to use NFS or Coda. Espero que te sirva. --- Alberto F.

Conectar a Internet con Linux.
Hola. A ver, ahora estoy intentando conectarme a Internet desde Linux y, ¡cómo no!, las cosas no me salen. He configurado mi conexión ppp con 'pppconfig' y he rellenado correctamente los datos que allí me pedían. Según ese programa, ya bastaba con eso (tengo compilado, creo, todo lo necesario en el kernel, aunque no estoy del todo seguro de eso), y probé a conectarme con 'pon'. Después inspeccioné el estado (?) de la conexión con 'plog' y obtuve: ... Mar 17 12:46:35 debian pppd[378]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0 Mar 17 12:46:36 debian chat[379]: abort on (BUSY) Mar 17 12:46:36 debian chat[379]: abort on (NO CARRIER) Mar 17 12:46:36 debian chat[379]: abort on (VOICE) Mar 17 12:46:36 debian chat[379]: abort on (NO DIALTONE) Mar 17 12:46:36 debian chat[379]: abort on (NO ANSWER) Mar 17 12:46:36 debian chat[379]: send (ATZ^M) Mar 17 12:46:36 debian chat[379]: expect (OK) Pero al intentar ir a alguna dirección con el navegador de Netscape me decía que no encontraba el nombre de ese servidor. No sé si será problema del Netscape o del módem (/dev/modem - /dev/ttyS1), supongo que de éste último pq, como sólo tengo una línea en casa y el teléfono seguía funcionando perfectamente, es fácil llegar a la conclusión de que no se ha conectado. Además, intenté ejecutar Lynx (que creo que tb sirve para navegar) y me dijo que no podía acceder al host remoto, o algo así. Después me ¿desconecté? con 'poff' y volví a mirar a ver qué ponía con 'plog': ... Mar 17 12:47:15 debian pppd[378]: Terminating on signal 15. Mar 17 12:47:15 debian chat[379]: SIGTERM Mar 17 12:47:15 debian pppd[378]: Connect script failed ¿Alguien sabe qué es lo que va mal? El caso es que en casi todos los archivos de ayuda que vienen con las muchas conexiones a Internet que rulan ahora por ahí, en lo referente a Linux dicen que hay que configurarlo a mano, creando (o modificando) los archivos /etc/ppp/options, /etc/ppp/nombre_proveedor (que ha de ser ejecutable), /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (al menos este indicaba mi caso) y /etc/resolv.conf (no sé si alguno más). El 'pppconfig' crea un /etc/resolv.conf con los datos que le das y tb modifica el /etc/ppp/chap-secrets, pero no toca el /etc/ppp/options sino que crea otro fichero llamado /etc/ppp/peers/provider (que debe ser parecido al options pero no igual). Mi pregunta es: ¿basta con el 'pppconfig' para configurar el acceso a Internet o hay que hacerlo a mano? Es que claro, en la documentación me dice cómo ha de ser el /etc/ppp/options pero el que queda en el sistema después de ejecutar 'pppconfig' no es ni parecido, y al /etc/ppp/peers/provider le ¿faltan? cosas especificadas en el options de ejemplo/ayuda. Además el /etc/resolv.conf creado por 'pppconfig' no especifica ningún dominio, cosa que sí hace el de ejemplo/ayuda. Muchísimas gracias de nuevo. Emilio.
RE: ¿Paquetes para NETSCAPE?
Hola. Además de esto, lo de estático o dinámico es porque el netscape utiliza Motif, que es comercial, por lo que hacen dos versiones: - dinámica: si tienes motif, utiliza las librerías que estén instaladas. Además el ejecutable ocupará menos. - estática: para los que no tienen motif, las librerías necesarias para que funcione se encuentran incluidas dentro del ejecutable, por lo que se puede ejecutar en una máquina que no las tenga instaladas, pero el tamaño del ejecutable se incrementa. Por tanto, si tienes motif, deja la versión dinámica, y si no lo tienes, la estática. Yo he visto que tengo el paquete 'motifnls' que, por lo visto, son ficheros necesarios para ejecutar algunas aplicaciones Motif. ¿Basta con eso? Es que no he visto ningún paquete más instalado que parezca relacionado con Motif. Sin embargo la versión dinámica del Netscape communicator no me funciona. En cuanto a lo de que no puedas abrir ninguna página, ¿has probado a abrir un fichero html del disco duro (file:/path/hasta/el/fichero.html)? Ahora sí que puedo abrir algunos ficheros del disco duro (sin embargo no me deja abrir los de la partición donde tengo montado win98 ¿? ) y era (creo) pq tuve que cambiar la página de inicio, home.netscape.com, por otra en blanco, simplemente. ¿Estabas conectado cuando intentaste conectar con alguna página? En este caso, el netscape no sabe cómo llegar hasta la dirección que le has indicado y te dice que no puede encontrar el servidor keyword.netscape.com? (será el que tiene por defecto). Aún no he conseguido conectarme a Internet desde Linux, pero sí que me ha aparecido a veces el mensaje ese de que no puede encontrar el servidor keyword.netscape.com. ¿Qué significa?, ¿cómo puedo cambiar ese servidor que está por defecto? Una vez que lo tengas funcionando, te recomendaría que instalaras algún programa que te haga de caché/proxy. Yo utilizo el wwwoffle, así puedo volver a ver las páginas por las que paso cuando no estoy conectado. Incluso le puedes decir que te las coja él cuando se conecte y cosas así. ¿Cómo va este programa?, ¿instalo el paquete que viene en los CDs de Debian de Linux Actual y ya está? Muchísimas gracias por la ayuda. Emilio.

My apologies if it seems long but I am assuming that the root of this oproblem lies with the scsi setup. the cards claim to work but the command route add -net just causes the shell to hang until Ctrl C is pressed. eth0 can be ping itself but nothing else can ping it. eth1 cannot be ping because I can't set up a route.

no such device as /dev/lpt1
Hi all! When I first set up my Debian box, and whenever I've recompiled/upgraded/etc, I've left the support for parallel ports out, because I didn't have a printer. Now I have a printer. I turned on the parallel port in CMOS (standard irq/io settings). I recompiled my kernel (using make menuconfig), and set the following: Under Loadable Module Support, I set *'d Enable loadable module support and Kernel module loader. Under General Setup, I M'd Parallel Port support and PC-Style hardware. Under Plug and Play Support, I left the Plug and Play support blank (I only have PCI devices). Under Block Devices, I only saw one reference to the parallel port, and it referred to IDE support, which didn't sound like anything I needed, so I left it blank. Under Network Device Support, I left PLIP... blank, as I don't believe I need it. Under Character Devices, I M'd Parallel Printer Support and *'d Support IEEE1284 status readback. I then did a make dep, then a make clean, then a make bzImage, then make modules, then make modules_install, then I copied the bzImage to /boot. Since the new kernel image is named the same as the old kernel image, I may not have re-run LILO. Did I need to? I've got my printcap pointing to /dev/lp0. This is one question I have; it seems that when I started with Linux, /dev/lp0 referred to what would be lpt1 in the DOS/Windows world, but that it has changed since then so that /dev/lp1 refers to DOS's lpt1. True or not? (BTW, my kernel is 2.2.14, and my system is mostly (entirely maybe?) a potato system.) On reboot, when I try to print something to the printer (I believe my printcap is set up properly) using lp Notes (Notes is a plain text file), and then do an lpq, I get: Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'HP LaserJet III' Queue: 1 printable job Server: pid 2026 active Unspooler: pid 2033 active Status: cannot open '/dev/lp0' - 'No such device', attempt 2, sleeping 20 at 18:17:36.195 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time active(attempt-2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] A25 Notes 9619 18:16:55 When I do an lsmod, I get Module Size Used by vmnet 16160 2 vmmon 17664 1 es1371 22656 0 (unused) soundcore 2340 4 [es1371] 3c59x 18304 1 smbfs 25360 0 (unused) When I do a ls -l /dev/lp*, I get: crw-rw1 root lp 6, 0 Mar 3 1999 /dev/lp0 crw-rw1 root lp 6, 1 Mar 3 1999 /dev/lp1 crw-rw1 root lp 6, 2 Mar 3 1999 /dev/lp2 When I do a cat /proc/devices, I get: Character devices: 1 mem 2 pty 3 ttyp 4 ttyS 5 cua 7 vcs 10 misc 14 sound 119 vmnet 128 ptm 136 pts Block devices: 2 fd 3 ide0 22 ide1 (What's vcs on # 7?

Re: Debian install cannot find ATA 66 hard drive
Yes no, it may depend on the chipset of your mb. My athlon system has the AMD chipset with onchip support ( not a card), debian (aka Corel Linux K=2.2.12) installs from cd no problem, it may or may not perform at the ata 66 spec, but that is another issue.

Can a machine with a private class B IP (172.17.120.5) establish a ssh connection with a machine with legal IP ?
I use a proxy server to connect to the Internet since I have a private class B IP (172.17.120.5) and am behind a firewall and that way the net I am on is configured. I have to use socks for passive ftp and telneting. Recently the admin of www.linux.org.il, which is not found on the private net I am connected to and does have a full Internet IP (192.116.202.69) has suggested that the 2 machines will be connected with ssh. However when I tried to connect I get: [09:29:03 /tmp]$ socksify ssh -v www.linux.org.il SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.2, protocol version 1.5. Compiled with SSL. debug: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug: Applying options for * debug: ssh_connect: getuid 1000 geteuid 0 anon 0 debug: Connecting to www.linux.org.il [192.116.202.69] port 22. debug: Allocated local port 643. And that is it. It keeps waiting and I had to ^C it. The admin of the other machine says he can see in his logs attempts from my IP (172.17.120.5) at the times I claim I have tried to establish the ssh connection. He also says that contrary to his first suggestion, he now believes that we can not get connected with ssh because I do not have an Internet IP. 1) Are there ways for the 2 machines to get a ssh connection? Perhaps the configuration of the other machine is not appropriate for the situation I have described? Maybe a VPN or something similar will work? 2) Beside a full Internet IP are there things I could ask from the net admin of the private network I am on in order to get this ssh connection to work? I believe that it is worth mentioning that I can successfully socksify telnet and successfully socksify passive ftp to the machine I want to establish the ssh connection with (www.linux.org.il). -- Shaul Karl [EMAIL PROTECTED] An elephant is a mouse with an operating system.

Re: Can a machine with a private class B IP (172.17.120.5) establish a ssh connection with a machine with legal IP ?
Hello Well... I'm not quite an expert about this, but I'd say you either need NAT (network address translation) enabled on your firewalling machine, so your address is masqueraded to the outside. Ssh connects from your machine to the outside would work fine then, but nobody from outside could connect to you... or you might consider setting up an http tunnel through your proxy, although I ain't got no idea how this would work. I'd expect you'd also need the remote system to set up facilities to use this method, but don't ask me... I've never done it.

Re: SMTP password
Hello! I have a problem: my ISP ask me for username and password to send e-mail by smtp. With Netscape is easy to configure it, but I don't know how to do that with smail or sendmail. Can somebody help me? the problem is: smtp has NO password at all (AFAIK). the point is, you have to do POP before SMTP to authorize yourself, which netscape does normally. when using an mta (e.g. sendmail) you have to do a fetchmail before sending any e-mail. on one box i configured i simply put a fetchmail in the ppp-up script, that is, fetchmail is called directly after dialing in. a problem arises, if you stay on-line that long, that your authorization times out - then you would have to fetchmail before sending e-mail again. but i thing it is a good idea to run fetchmail as a daemon as long as you are on-line, so it checks for mail and holds your smpt-authorization open every, say 10, minutes. in short: put a fetchmail -d 600 in your /etc/ppp/ppp-up put a fetchmail --quit in your /etc/ppp/ppp-down (i'm not sure if the files are in /etc/ppp/ on debian, as i set up a suse box.)

Re: How to make SCSI only bootup
The 2FA: prompt is generated by mbr... it looks like it doesn't know which partition to boot (you haven't gotten far enough to require the SCSI drivers yet). Just as a guess, I'd say that you didn't flag the relevant partition as active when you partitioned the disk. Try pressing 2 when you see the prompt... that tells mbr that you want to boot off of the second primary partition (that's what the 2 in 2FA: is referring to), which should get you past this issue. Assuming this works, don't forget to go back into fdisk and mark the partition active. Good luck.

Re: How to make SCSI only bootup
Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): i have a SCSI only system and i am not too sure how to load the drivers for it to enable it to boot up. I have specified the SCSI disk to be the boot disk and it has written the boot/lilo onto it which is good, but when i boot the machine i only get 2FA: I'll come back to this. I presume the SCSI disk needs the drivers loaded in order to make it boot/run.. but the drivers cannot be loaded because they are stored on the SCSI :) This isn't really an OS issue. The installation kernels are stuffed with SCSI drivers. If you've built your own, you've presumably built in the correct drivers. If you haven't, you'll get a kernel panic after it's detected all the hardware, when it tries to mount the root filesystem, i.e. before/instead of: Partition check: sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 hda: hda1 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Load the system via floppy which has the SCSI controller on it? This is worth doing just to convince yourself that the kernel on the floppy does have all the correct drivers included. what other alternative is there to make the SCSI boot up without the need of a floppy? The BIOS needs to be able to read from the boot device without any assistance from linux. If you're getting 2FA, then that task is done. Now lilo needs to read the kernel from the partition where it has been told it is. I think that's what's failing. The causes are varied, I believe. If you boot up with a floppy, keep a copy of /etc/lilo.conf and edit this file (remembering to run lilo each time before you reboot without the floppy), you should be able to fix it. If you're lucky, however, you might find it's as simple as marking the approriate partition active. That didn't work for me, but I've seen others report it as a solution. What worked for *me* in this instance was putting linear in lilo.conf and changing boot=/dev/hda2 to boot=/dev/hda . This puts lilo in the master boot record of the disk instead of the boot sector of the 2nd partition. (You'll be using sd, not hd, and maybe a different partition number.) Much later, I found that I could revert to the previous settings if the firmware of the disk was not set to block mode 16 sectors/interrupt at address 59.

Weird problem with Netscape and X
Hello, I am running an up to date Potato system. I am using the GNOME desktop and a locally installed copy of Netscape Navigator. Netscape lives in /usr/local/netscape. I have a symlink from /usr/bin/netscape to /usr/local/netscape/netscape. When I try to run Netscape from a menu icon or from a desktop launcher nothing happens. There are no error messages on my console, no windows open, nothing happens. If I open an xterm and run netscape or /usr/bin/netscape then netscape will start up just fine. I have triple checked the path in my launchers. This is really driving me batty. This same problem also happens with XMMS. However XMMS is slightly different. XMMS will not start at all. Not from an xterm and not from a launcher. When I attempt to start xmms at an xterm the xterm acts like XMMS started - that is it doesn't return to the propt - but no window ever appears. Any ideas at all? later, joseph -- the LaterDude ICQ: 52640402 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ice-works.com/personal/LaterDude/ All opinions expressed are my own and not necessarily those of my employer unless otherwise noted.

This is of course assuming that you have installed the window maker package (wmaker).

Re: empty .ssh directory
Are you also using ssh to log into other computers (not only to be able to log into your own using ssh), if that's so, it's not weird the directory is empty. If you are using ssh to log into other computers there should be a file: known_hosts. Empty syslog isn't weird either, every once in a while (see cron) the syslog is renamed to syslog.0 (syslog.0 becomes syslog.1.gz etc.) and syslog is empty agains and starts logging again. I think (not sure, but would be logical to me) that when the logrotate (renaming of the logs) starts the logging daemons are stopped and restarted again after the logrotate, the line in your syslog says that the syslog daemon has started (also comes in your syslog after a reboot). I have no idea what the process is, you say you tried killing it, have you tried killing with the -9 option (hard kill). You can check /var/run if in one of the files is the pid on which the process is running, perhaps that can explain things. Ron On Fri, 17 Mar 2000, John F.

LPD execv error
I have an issue I am trying to solve with the BSD lpr package on a potato system. I have installed the following: - lpr - magicfilter - ghostscript - netpbm I have created a printcap using magicfilterconfig which appears to work fine. When I do something like: lpr tiger.ps I can hear the disk churning, and I can see that magicfilter and gs are running to convert the postscript file to PCL for the HP DeskJet 550C using the correct filter. So far so good. The issue comes because what I am actually trying to do is create a bootable CD that will contain a complete lpr/samba print server and which will allow the target system to boot and run directly from the CD. I have succesfully configured all the things I need to have running on this system except for the lpd process. To copy lpd to the target system, I had to do the following: - apt-get source lpr - change the hardcoded path in pathnames.h for the printer socket to /var/run/lpd.socket - make and copy the resulting binaries over to the staging area for my root isofs I had to make this modification to the lpr source because the root filesystem will (obivously) be read only and therefore lpd will not be able to create its /dev/printer socket. I do, however, have a mounted partition on /var/ for spooling, etc., so lpd can create its socket in /var/run. I have also provided a symlink in the root filesystem image from /dev/printer to /var/run/lpd.socket to that anything that expects to use /dev/printer will still work. In fact, the system boots fine and all the processes, including lpd start up ok. I can see using lsof that lpd is using the correct socket, etc. Everything like lpr, lpq, etc. seem to work as they should *except*: Anytime I spool any sort of job (for example 'lpr tiger.ps'), I see a single message in the syslog similar to: lpd[77]: cannot execv /etc/magicfilter/dj550c-filter However, all the other programs I have on this system work fine, and if I execute: /etc/magicfilter/dj550c-filter /tmp/tiger.ps /tmp/tiger.out Then gs obediently converts my PostScript file to PCL just fine. I deduce from this that there is nothing really wrong with the filter script, or magicfilter, or gs themselves, but instead with lpd. I can't determine from the syslog message exactly *why* lpd thinks it can't execv my filter, so I am sort of at a loss as to what to look at next. Before I go and modify the lpr source to give me more info, I thought I'd try the list to see if anyone has any insight to offer. I searched DejaNews fairly extensively, and I saw a ton of questions regarding this same sort of execv error message with lpd, but I didn't see a single answer beyond 'there must be something wrong with your filter'. I have also tried to eliminate issues like permissions by doing things like 'chmod -R 777 /var/spool/', etc., to no avail. I also tried using lprng, but I got even worse results. Lprng would start up on my CD based system, but it wouldn't do anything; no log output, no errors, no spooling, no filtering, nothing. It just sat there happily repeating that there were no queue entries. __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
