Setting Up a CVSup Mirror for FreeBSD on a Debian Lenny system
Hi to everybody, I would like to set up a FreeBSD mirror using CVSup on a Debian Lenny system. I know there's the sup package containing both CVSup server and client. However, I'm currently sort of stuck converting FreeBSD's cvsupd config to supfilesrv's config. Has anybody done something similar already and is willing to share a sample config? I would like to mirror the following collections FreeBSD.cvs stored in /freebsd/cvs FreeBSD-www.current stored in /freebsd/www FreeBSD-gnats.current stored in /freebsd/gnats FreeBSD-mail.current stored in /freebsd/mail from host cvsup-master.freebsd.org Thanks in advance for any info kind regards, Holger signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Note the careful wording ;-) So don't waste valuable server cpu cycles on-access scanning on a Linux server.

Thanks for that hint. I will take it into account. Also all your windows PCs already have to run on-access scanners anyway - right. Yes, but one can never rely that all local virus scanner databases are up-to-date. Some people might disable automatic updates... (You can always have some kind of policy, but that's just a piece of paper). So a virus should never get near the server anyway at least in theory... Right, but theory is more often than not contradicted by practice... ;-) In practice virus do often get through simply because the virus profiles available for both server and clients PCs are always one step behind the crooks. Yes, exactly, that's what I'm worried about and that's the reason why I want to add some kind of safety net to the central file server since I don't want it to turn into some kind of central virus distributor. Best you can do is have have regular full virus scans on the Windows PCs hard disks to fix once the anti-virus companies catch up. Yes, I'm aware of that. You could be very sociable and scan the files at quiet times on the server and quarantine...clamav does a nice job at no cost. You can also use it as a quality check on your commercial scanner. Yes, I know about clamav. Nevertheless, I'm still interested in getting NOD32 to run on that server and that requires Dazuko.

Hi to everybody, I'm thinking about using NOD32 on a Debian Lenny system for on access virus scanning (i.e. scan a file when it's created and/or its contents are modified in some way).

So, my questions are: - Which virus scanner capable of performing on acces scanning would you recommend for a central file server running Debian Lenny offering FTP, OpenAFS, NFSv4 and SSH/SCP access? - Is Dazuko a recommended solution? If so, which version? (I ask this because there are several available by now) - If not, what would be possible and practical alternatives for Dazuko and/or NOD32?

Kerberized NFSv4: rpc.idmapd only sees root principal
Hi everybody, I've got an autofs5, OpenLDAP, MIT Kerberos, and NFSv4 setup running on Debian Lenny. All required principals are present in the krb5.keytab files on both client and server. PAM has been configured accordingly for krb5. Generally speaking, everything (kinit, passwordless ssh logins, manually mounting the NFSv4 file system, automatically mounting and unmounting the file system) works *except* for UID/GID mapping, i. e. the mounted file system always belongs to root and I get permission denied whenever I try to access files below the mounted home directory. From the log I inferred that rpc.idmapd only sees the root principal, even though the regular user principal is processed, including determination of supplementary groups. Also, getent passwd and getent group list all entries, both local and LDAP ones. Creating new files e.g. below /tmp is no problem, including group changing using newgrp. Every newly created file below /tmp has correct ownerships and permissions. Ok, I did the following in order to get clean (without references to purely local uids except for root) NFS client and server logs: - logged out as user and waited for /export/home/user to be automatically unmounted by autofs5. on the client (named client in the log files): - stopped autofs5: /etc/init.d/autofs stop - stopped nfs-common: /etc/init.d/nfs-common stop on the server (named server in the log files): - stopped nfs-kernel-server: /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop - stopped nfs-common: /etc/init.d/nfs-common stop - Became root and manually removed all /tmp/krb5* files (looked for these on both client and server; though I only found them on the client). on the server (named server in the log files): - started nfs-common: /etc/init.d/nfs-common start - started nfs-kernel-server: /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start on the client (named client in the log files): - started nfs-common: /etc/init.d/nfs-common start - started autofs5: /etc/init.d/autofs start - Switched to a serial console on the client host (ttyS0) - logged in as user directly from the login: prompt on ttyS0 === Unfortunately, the problem persists even though there' no error displayed anymore in /var/log/daemon.log on the client host The interesting thing to note is that there seem to be no obvious errors in the log files (the string ERROR doesn't appear).

Etch: non-breaking space in HTML-Doku wird als 2-Byte-Zeichen dargestellt
Hallo zusammen, ich habe hier den interessanten Fall, daß ein non-breaking space in einer HTML-Doku vom Apache 2.2.3 offensichtlich als 2-Byte-Zeichen an den web browser zurückgeliefert wird. Im Firefox erscheint dann unter Windows ein ?, unter Linux F0 FD in einem Rahmen drin (die genaue Hex-Kombination müßte ich noch mal nachschauen). Die HTML-Doku wurde aus DocBook XML sources mit den XSL stylesheets erzeugt. Das Problem tritt unabhändig von der Version der XSL stylesheets auf (nicht nur mit der aktuellen V 1.71.1 sondern auch mit älteren Versionen). In den erzeugten HTML pages steht als encoding ISO8859-1 drinnen. Andere Zeichen wie z. B. Umlaute werden richtig dargestellt. Gerade in HTML-Doku, die mittels der XSL stylesheets erzeugt wurde, wird an verschiedenen Stellen massiv Gebrauch von non-breaking spaces gemacht (u. a. in den Naviagions-Links am Anfang und am Ende der web pages). Legt man die generierte HTML-Doku lokal auf dem Rechner ab und surft mit einer file://-URL drauf, wird der non-breaking space KORREKT dargestellt. Folglich bleibt eigentlich nur noch der Apache übrig, der die HTML-Doku verhunzt. Der der Apache ja als user www-data läuft, habe ich diesen account mal unlocked (ein passwd verpaßt), und dann als user www-data die LANG und LC_ Variablen kontrolliert. LANG steht auf [EMAIL PROTECTED] und LC_MESSAGES auf C, die übrigen LC_ Variablen sind nicht gesetzt. Die [EMAIL PROTECTED] locale ist auf dem System auch generiert worden und somit vorhanden. Habe auch nach debian etch apache non-breaking space 2 bytes gegoogled, aber leider nix zu dem Problem gefunden. Naheliegende Fragen: Hat jmd. von Euch schon mal so ein (oder ein Ähnliches) Problem gehabt? Falls ja, gibt es für den Apache eine Konfigurations-Option, mit der man die o.g. Unschönheit beheben könnte? Schon mal vielen Dank für die Info im Voraus!

Re: Testing/Etch: .bash_ profile/.bashrc nach ssh login NICHT ausgeführt
Hallo Marc (und auch an die anderen), mittlerweile hab ich das eigentliche Problem entdeckt: Ich vergaß beim Anlegen der accounts mit useradd, den switch -s für die login shell mitzugeben und nahm fälschlicherweise an, daß auch in diesem Fall /bin/bash als login shell in die /etc/passwd eingetragen wird (weil die bash ja unter Linux sowieso default ist; als Ausnahme fällt mir als Distro da spontan nur grml ein). Dem ist aber NICHT so (es stand /bin/sh drin). Wird die bash als /bin/sh aufgerufen, verhält sie sich meines Wissens auch so und will dann im HOME dir die ~/.profile (und NICHT ~/.bash_profile) sourcen. Die war aber NICHT da und deswegen wurde AUSSCHLIEßLICH /etc/profile gesourced. Fazit: Nach Abändern von /bin/sh in /bin/bash für die betroffenen accounts funktionierte alles wieder wie von vornherein gewünscht. Sorry für den unnötigen mailing list traffic (aber vielleicht helfen meine Ausführungen ja jmd., der ein ähnliches Problem hat).

Ich habe bisher mit Google nur 2 gefunden, die sich auf Woody beziehen und nicht wirklich auf Sarge eingehen, und zwar: http://www.open-organizations.org/view/Socialtools/RaidLvmHowto sowie http://www.midhgard.it/docs/lvm/html/index.html Ein ähnlich geartetes Problem: Ich habe auf einem anderen System mit 4 gleichen SCSI-Platten versucht ein RAID10 (je 2 Platten gespiegelt (RAID1) und dann beide RAID1 array gestriped (RAID0) ) mit LVM hochzuziehen. Das PV befand sich auf dem md device für das RAID0 array. Allerdings konnte ich im Debian Installer für Sarge keine VG (und damit auch keine LVs) anlegen, da das device file beim Anlegen der PV-Partition (Typ: 8e) nicht automatisch mit angelegt wurde. Hat jemand für dieses Verhalten eine Erklärung? Anmerkung: Ich habe für beide beschriebenen Szenarien die Installation mit expert26 gestartet. Vielen Dank für Infos bzw. links!

Sarge: Adaptec 7901 wird bei Installation nicht erkannt
Hallo! Ich bin mit dem Problem konfrontiert, daß ein onboard RAID controller (Adaptec 7901) auf einem Asus PSCH-RS mainboard während der Sarge- Installation mit einem 2.6er kernel nicht richtig eingebunden wird. D. h. das Kernel-Modul aic79xx wird zwar geladen; wenn es dann aber um die Partitionierung der Platten geht, kommt ein popup No partitionable media found. Ich habe in diesem Zusammenhang folgenden link gefunden: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/03/msg00690.html Anmerkung: Ein aktuelles Knoppix (kernel: 2.6.11) erkennt diesen controller ohne Probleme.

Setting system-wide ulimits (esp. # of open files)
Hi! I'm running Debian testing in conjunction with kernel 2.6.0. I've got an application demanding up to 32000 sockets in certain circumstances. So, I wanted to set the # of open file descriptors on a system-wide basis. I'm using bash as the shell for all my user accounts. Here's what I tried: 1. Look up the value of /proc/sys/fs/file-max just to be sure = yields 104849. So, that should be large enough. 2. Tried to modify the value for ulimit -n from the shell prompt as a regular user = got Operation not permitted 3. a) Modified /etc/security/limits.conf so that it now contains the following line: * softnofile 32000 b) Modified certain PAM-related files below /etc/pam.d so that they now contain the line (the modification consisted of uncommenting the according line) sessionrequired pam_limits.so I changed the following files: /etc/pam.d/login /etc/pam.d/su c) However, after logging in from a different console, the command ulimit -a still outputs: open files(-n) 1024 4. Googling for debian increasing ulimits (and similar things) only revealed that it's possible to *lower* a certain ulimit value as a regular user (however, that's not what I want; I want to *increase* a certain ulimit value, most notably the # of open file descriptors). Any other ideas on what else I could try in order to increase the # of open file descriptors to 32000 for all users and why the approach with editing /etc/security/limits.conf didn't work (and what I could do to get it to do what I want :-) )?

noticed that it doesn't *seem* to be possible to create more than 1021

anyway),

Woody-FreeBSD box via null modem cable

I set the modem init string to the empty string. Do I need any other software package besides minicom on my Debian box? Is there some article/howto explaining null modem cable setups in greater detail? (I was looking at the serial port console howto, but this one covers only the pin layout for null modem cables.

Simply using -lstdc++ leads to a very strange linker error (hope it's not really a linker bug, but only the wrong library name): /usr/bin/ld: BFD 2.12.90.0.1 20020307 Debian/GNU Linux internal error, aborting at ../../bfd/elf32-i386.c line 1887 in elf_i386_relocate_section /usr/bin/ld: Please report this bug. collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: Woody: What's the proper name of the C++ lib?
Hi Colin! Thanks for your quick reply! Some further info on this topic: I was able to build the same app successfully on a SuSE 7.0 system (glibc 2.1.3 based) with the following version of ld: GNU ld version 2.9.5 (with BFD 2.9.5.0.24) So it *seems* to me it's really a Debian Woody specific ld bug. On Thu, 19 Sep 2002, Colin Watson wrote: [...] I'd file a bug with a test case. Surely the best way to go, but it's kind of hard for me to figure out what caused this linker error. What's a possible way to find out what caused this problem (especially when taking into account that this is a larger project)? (This approach is probably required for creating a test case that triggers this error.) Any other alternatives (such as using a different version of ld, or the binutils package, respectively)?

Woody: pthread_rwlock_t error
Hi!
Why does the following simple test program
#include pthread.h
pthread_rwlock_t lock;
int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
return(0);
}
yield these errors:
thread_test.c:3: parse error before `lock'
thread_test.c:3: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
and what can I do to fix them?
I compiled this prog with
gcc -o thread_test thread_test.c
This happened on a Debian 3.0 (Woody) system with kernel 2.2.21 and glibc
2.2.5.
Thanks in advance for any info!

Upgrade auf Woody: CD-ROMs lassen sich nicht in sources.list hinzufgen
Hallo! Ich moechte auf einem Stand-Alone-System, auf dem Potato läuft, Woody ausschließlich mit den Lehmanns CD-ROMs installieren. Nachdem aber apt-cdrom add nicht funktioniert (es hat den Eindruck, ich hätte keine Debian CD im CD-ROM-Laufwerk), muß ich wohl zunächst dpkg, apt und debconf updaten. Wie kann ich das bewerkstelligen, wenn ich 1. Nur die Woody CD-ROMs habe 2. Das zu Potato gehörende apt mit den CD-ROMs nichts anfangen kann Ich habe schon in den release notes zu Woody nachgeschaut; dort wird aber unter Upgrading using CD-ROMs bezgl. des upgrade von dpkg, apt und debconf auch nur mit see above auf einen Abschnitt verwiesen, den es offensichtlich nicht gibt. (Ein apt-get install dpkg apt debconf bringt mir ja nichts, solange ich /etc/apt/sources.list nicht updaten kann. dpkg -i auf jedes der drei packages ist mir zu unsicher, da ich nicht weiß, ob dependencies (vor allem neue libc6) dann aufgelöst werden.) Meine Frage ist also: Wie kann ich diese drei wichtigen packages von den CD-ROMs upgraden? Danke für Eure Hilfe!

Questions on P4 Mainboards
Hi! I'm thinking of getting myself a new machine with a 2 GHz P4 (Northwood variant) and 512 KB cache. One of the main concerns I got is: Which P4 mainboard works well with Debian Woody? (I'm talking about stability, good IDE controller USB support with the kernels shipped with Woody). I'm planning to use this machine for the following: - Working with various DBMSs (DB2, SAP DB, PostgreSQL) - Developing larger Java projects with rather large Java apps (e.g. Together/J, JBuilder) The first thing that came to my mind was getting an Asus P4B266-E, since it has 2 UDMA IDE controllers (one UDMA 100, the other one UDMA 133), thus offering 4 IDE channels altogether. I would like to connect 2 UDMA 133 hard disks, so connecting each of them to a separate IDE controller and making them work as the master drive seems to be appropriate for performance reasons. This leads me to my next question: Is the Promise PDC 20276 IDE controller supported by current Linux kernels (2.2.20 or 2.4.18, respectively)? If not, are there patches around for the 2.2/2.4 series of kernels? What are your opinions on a P4B266-E for Debian Woody? What are good alternatives? Which chipsets are known to work reliably with respect to USB? Thanks a lot for taking your time and answering my questions!

Kaufempfehlung P4 Mainboard mit UDMA 133
Hallo! Welches mainboard erfüllt die unten genannten Kriterien und läuft für die genannten Anwendungsgebiete stabil? Als Proz möchte ich einen P4 (Northwood-Variante) mit 2 GHz mit 512 KB cache einsetzen. - Debian Woody - auch geeignet für größere DBMS (Oracle, DB2, SAP DB) - Java-Entwicklung von größeren Projekten (z. B. mit Together und JBuilder) - gute USB-Unterstützung (vor allem für USB mass storage wie z. B. flash reader, SM card basierte, portable MP3 player. Das bezieht sich weniger auf das mainboard selbst, sondern vielmehr auf den verwendeten Chipsatz) Außerdem möchte ich zwei IDE UDMA 133 Festplatten sowie ein DVD-ROM anschließen. Diese genannten Geräte wollte ich aus Performance-Gründen jeweils als master an einem eigenen IDE controller betreiben. Ursprünglich dachte ich an ein Asus P4B266-E, weil da meines Wissens 2 UDMA 133 und 2 UDMA 100 IDE controller drauf sind. Was waren Eure Erfahrungen mit diesem mainboard? Mit welcher Kernel-Version bzw. welchen patches äuft der Promise PDC 20276 controller, der auf dem board drauf ist? (Auf die RAID-Funktionalität des Promise lege ich keinen Wert. Ich würde - wie oben erwähnt - lediglich jeweils eine Platte als master an je einem Kanal anschließen wollen.) Was wären vernünftige Alternativen zu meinem Mainboard-Vorschlag?

OT: Wo bekomme ich SCSI-Adapter von LSI Logic her?
Hallo! Sorry fuer diese OT mail (weiss leider auch kein adaequates Forum/mailing list), aber ich suche SCSI-Host-Adapter von LSI Logic, da LSI auch den Linux source code fuer seine Treiber zur Verfuegung stellt. Ich habe nach lsi logic distributor (in deutscher Sprache) gegoogled und musste leider feststellen, dass die entsprechende Seite bei LSI Logic (Distributoren in ihrer Naehe) offensichtlich veraltet ist. Lediglich Azzurri scheint noch LSI Logic zu fuehren, die anderen (ELD, EBV, Avnet, CPI) leider nicht mehr. transtec liefert meines Wissens nur an Haendler. Bei insight und Peacock bin ich irgendwie nicht weitergekommen (hab keinen link fuer LSI Logic host adapter gefunden). Deshalb meine Frage: Kennt jemand von Euch einen Distributor, der LSI Logic host adapter zu einem guenstigen Preis anbietet?

In diesem Zusammenhang noch eine Frage zur Aufloesung: Ich habe von einem Bekannten gehoert, dass Grafikprogramme (z. B.

With Emacs, you can have specialized development environments for Java (JDEE) and LaTeX (AucTeX, yaTeX), just to mention a few.

Re: Installing Getting Rid of gdm in Woody
Rehi! Replying to my own post. Here's what I tried: I apt-get removed fluxbox. That worked without any problems. I commented out set -e in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/gdm.prerm script, since I guessed it might be the culprit. Reran apt-get remove gdm == same problem (hung after printing Removing gdm). I then added set -x to the /var/lib/dpkg/info/gdm.prerm script. Finally I tried apt-get remove gdm again. The last few lines of what's executed by the gdm.prerm script follow: + local _LINE + read -r _LINE + RET=gdm + return 0 + '[' gdm = gdm ']' + '[' -e ']' + db_get gdm/daemon_name + echo 'GET gdm/daemon_name' + local 'IFS= ' + local _LINE + read -r _LINE + RET=/usr/bin/gdm + return 0 ++ cat My guess is that the script is waiting for input (indicated by the line containing the cat command). Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with prerm scripts so I don't know what the script is looking for. Any ideas? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Ok, here's what I forgot to mention: As far as I remember, X has been kept back during the update, so after uprading I still had the old X11 (3.3.6). So I - uninstalled the old X stuff (xserver-svga and xserver-vga16, xserver-common-v3, maybe also a few others; don't recall exactly) You can get a list of the old installed X packages by typing dpkg -l | grep xserver - Kept looking for the new one (4.1.0) by doing apt-cache search --names-only xserver === xserver-xfree86 seemed new to me, so I looked at it more closely by issuing apt-cache show xserver-xfree86 which revealed the new version number - installed the new XFree86 by issuing apt-get install xserver-xfree86 Hope this will be helpful to users wanting to upgrade to Woody.

Hi! On Wed, 10 Apr 2002, Tom Cook wrote: [...] access it). The only thing which seems likely is apache. I tried very hard, but suddenly https works.

So try accessing some https content: point your browser at https://localhost/ and see what happens. That works with apache-ssl. I feel a bit bad about pointing this out when you had a working system, as it seems to have made you keen and *uninstalled a working system* (something you wouldn't catch me doing). Sorry. No need to apologize. I had a working system, but it contained only Debian documentation (the /var/www/... stuff). Debian's pre/postrm scripts for both apache and apache-ssl are smart enough *not* to delete it, so I didn't lose anything... I think that behavior applies to the entire /var/www hierarchy, so if you install your stuff below that directory you should never lose it by installing/uninstalling various apache-related packages. Debian just rocks! (A few others may already have mentioned this, but it can not be stated often enough). Again thanks for giving me such detailed instructions!

Sources from Sid Binaries from Woody
Hi! Is it safe (in the sense that it won't hose my system) to stay with Woody when it comes to the binaries and to add appropriate deb-src lines to /etc/apt/sources.list for the latest and greatest stuff?

Hi! Thanks for your quick reply!

(And it sounds like that's your intent.) What I would like to do is install the more stable things from Woody and on the other hand want access to newer stuff as well. I thought that using apt-get source and compiling the stuff myself will make it possible to integrate these packages cleanly in a running Woody-based system. The main thing I'm worrying about that the dependencies between the source packages from Sid are different to those of Woody and that apt-getting a single source package might lead to a recompile of half of the distro. Is this a real danger or am I exaggerating? Thanks in advance for any info! Kind regards, Holger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Woody: Apache SSL not starting
Hi! I installed the apache-ssl package from Woody. When I try to start it using /etc/init.d/apache-ssl start I get the following messages leading to the impression that apache-ssl was started correctly: Starting web server: apache-sslReading key for server prag.datech2.er.heitec.net:443 Launching... /usr/lib/apache-ssl/gcache pid=4070 . When I do a psauxwww | grep 4070 | grep -v grep I don't see this PID, so it was obviously not started. Looking in /var/log/apache-ssl/error.log I found these lines: [Tue Apr 9 10:15:51 2002] /usr/lib/apache-ssl/gcache started [Tue Apr 9 10:15:52 2002] [crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 443 So I did a netstat -avi | grep 443 but that yielded nothing. So there is no program that opened a socket on port 443 as the apache-ssl logs suggest. What could have caused this error that obviously prevents apache-ssl from starting correctly? By the way, the normal apache (without SSL support) starts up without any problems. Do I need to start both of them (apache and apache-ssl) for a working Apache SSL config?

Rehi! My problem is solved now! I removed apache-ssl, and installed apache and libapache-mod-ssl instead (Tim Dijkstra suggested this). Then I made the necessary adjustments to the httpd.conf file.

Alt as Meta Key in Emacs21 and XFree 4.1.0.1
Hi! I noticed that in Debian Woody the Alt key does not work as Meta key when using Emacs 21 under X (XFree 4.1.0.1). What do I have to put in my .emacs file to get it to work? (I was looking at the FAQ using Help-Emacs FAQ, but found nothing there.) Searching with google revealed: (define-key function-key-map [f11] [?\e]) which I changed to [alt].

Fixing unmet dependencies (Was: Re: General Update Hints Potato-Woody)
Hi! Finally took the time to *try* to upgrade from Potato to Woody. On Tue, 29 Jan 2002, Thomas R. Shemanske wrote: [...] Feel free to post your intermediate results. Ok, here they are.

Did a dselect update (so that the available file get updated as well). This doesn't seem to be the case when using apt-get update. 3. Did apt-get install apt apt-utils dpkg debconf perl.

OT: Different Java Plugins with Netscape 6.2
Hi! I'm having trouble selecting different Java Plugin versions for Netscape 6.2. This means I can only use the Java 1.3.1 that's been shipped with Netscape 6.2. I tried the following: 1. Setting the NPX_PLUGIN_PATH variable from the command line (didn't work, but used to work for my Netscape 4.78) 2. Setting the NPX_PLUGIN_PATH variable from within the run-mozilla.sh start script (didn't work either) 3. Going to the plugins directory, moving the java2 subdir out of the way, and making the symlink libjavaplugin* point to the corresponding file of the desired plugin (the one being shipped with 1.4.0). This method works but is pretty awkward. I'm looking for a method that lets me conveniently change plugin versions before I start Netscape. I got a set of aliases on my system that let me switch between multiple JDKs. They look like this alias sunjdk131=export PATH=$BASE_PATH:/usr/local/java/sun-jdk-1.3.1_01/bin; export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/sun-jdk-1.3.1_01; export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=/opt/Netscape-4.78/plugins:/usr/local/java/sun-jdk-1.3.1_01/jre/plugin/i386; export MANPATH=$BASE_MANPATH:/usr/local/java/sun-jdk-1.3.1_01/man (BASE_PATH and BASE_MANPATH contain the complete paths to the binaries and manpages, respectively, but without the JDK paths). Does anybody have a good suggestion to this problem? Thanks in advance for any hints (or pointers to hints). Kind regards, Holger
