PS/2 IntelliMouse X 3.3-3 problems...
Greetings... When I first got my M$ IntelliMouse, I set it up with the serial adapter on COM1. Now that I have a USR PalmPilot, I need that COM port so that I can HotSync under Lose95. I realized that my MB had a PS2 mouse connector on it, so I uncovered the hole on the back of my case and hooked up the mouse to it. Lose95 finds the mouse just fine and dandy. However, Linux is another matter altogether. I'm running kernel 2.0.30, customized to suit my hardware (yes, I used kernel-package), including the PS2 mouse support. I altered my XF86Config file so that I now have: Section Pointer Protocol IntelliMouse Device /dev/psaux [ Other commented stuff ] EndSection I'm running xdm, and when it starts up, I *do* get the X mouse cursor in the middle of the screen, but when I move the mouse, it immediately jumps to the upper left corner, never to return from there.. Anyone seen this and overcome it before? BTW, the X server is XF86_SVGA, running with a Matrox Millennium. During bootup, I see: PS/2 auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed. Which leads me to believe that the kernel sees the mouse. -- Jason Costomiris | VMS is about as secure as a poodle [EMAIL PROTECTED] | encased in a block of lucite http://www.jasons.org/~jcostom/ | about as useful, too. #include disclaimer.h | --some guy I read on Usenet -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

sfio anyone?
I was thinking about jumping into the role of package maintainer... I just compiled a new version of perl (5.004_03) on my Sparc 10 last week, and noticed that there's support in Perl for what's known as the PerlIO abstraction layer. It lets you plug in IO mechanisms other than stdio, and the default is ATT's sfio (Safe, Fast I/O). Would there be any interest in packaging up sfio's assorted libs (libstdio and libsfio) in shared and static form, and the headers?

No need to try to understand what the S3 ruleset does. You just make your set of m4 macros, which is very straightforward. Once you do that, you're one command (m4 ../m4/cf.m4 myfile.mc sendmail.cf) from a working sendmail.cf. 2) Difficult to configure. Uh, didn't I just say it was easy? Yeah, I did. However, toss in anti-relay protection, and spam refusal rules (via check_*) and it gets a lot more complex. You still only have to add the stuff to your set of m4 macros and build once. 3) Security problem. Sendmail runs as root. Many exploits have been uncovered over time. However, 90% of those problems are fixed by not using /bin/sh as the program mailer. Use /usr/sbin/smrsh. smrsh won't run a program unless it's been declared as a delivery agent, or you have made a link to it in the magic smrsh directory (/usr/lib/sm.bin). Smail: 1) Very easy to configure. You can practically teach monkeys to do it. 2) Very inflexible with respect to SMTP relaying. You can run Blackmail in front of smail, but it seems kinda kludgy to me. Allegedly a yet to come version of smail fixes this. I'm not holding my breath. Qmail: 1) Very easy to configure. I've seen monkeys who can configure it. 2) Very flexible. With most anything, really. I'd say that Qmail is the best choice for first-timers.

The problem with smail is that you are vulnerable to being used as a
spam relay. With sendmail, qmail or exim, I can turn that off. Here's
a sample sendmail .mc file, which gets used with the m4 macros to generate
your sendmail.cf... This includes spam rejection/relay protection. This
spits out a *working* (no tweaking required) sendmail.cf, complete with
the ability to do virtual hosts and rewrite outgoing addresses. It also
replaces the Mprog mailer with smrsh, instead of bash, which takes care of
a large portion of sendmail holes.

Re: PCMCIA problems with Debian 1.3
On Wed, 23 Jul 1997, Mark Phillips wrote: There have been a few people asking about problems with PCMCIA for Debian 1.3. The pcmcia-modules packages provided by Debian 1.3 are broken. I got it working a few weeks ago with some difficulties. The way to solve it is to install a kernel-source package (either 2.0.29 or 2.0.30), install the pcmcia-source package, and then follow the documentation contained in /usr/doc/pcmcia-source/ in order to create your own pcmcia-modules package, then install that. My solution was to grab the pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules-2.0.29 from rex-fixed. The 1997-05-30 boot disks that I used (1.3.0 CD set from i-connect) use kernel 2.0.29. I made an ext2fs floppy on another box, stuck those two files on it, and hauled it over. After loading those two packages, I was able to bring up the network (via my 3c589), and NFS mount my source (the CD ROM accross the room)... After than, I installed kernel-source -headers and -image for 2.0.30, kernel-package, make, gcc, pcmcia-source and the other assorted suspects. I then rebooted under 2.0.30, built my own cs and modules, and then finished doing my installation (which I did by hand, rather than dselect, just for a change of pace)...

bo and pcmcia installation...
I'm trying to load 1.3.0 on a notebook. I made the boot, driver, and 5 base diskettes. I also made a couple of ext2fs diskettes that had pcmcia-cs_2.9.5-3, pcmcia-modules-2.0.30, and the 2.0.30 kernel-image. I didn't dslect, or course, since my source was unavailable (was going to NFS mount the CD like I did when I had rex on this notebook). I boot from the 2.0.30 kernel just fine, and don't get any module problems when I depmod -a either. However, when the /etc/init.d/pcmcia script starts, the card socket services start up fine, until it inserts the module for my ethernet card, a 3c589. I get complaints about 8 symbols that are unresolved. They are: netif_rx_R9117ffb8 dev_alloc_skb_R24e337ab ether_setup... eth_type_trans... dev_kfree_skb... dev_tint.. unregister_netdev... register_netdev... Yet, all of these symbols appear in /System.map, which does point to /boot/System.map-2.0.30, to match /vmlinuz - /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.30. anyone seen this, overcome it, or what?

ipfwadm rules question...
Hey... So far, here's what I've got:
ipfwadm -I -f
ipfwadm -I -a deny -P icmp
This is a non-masqueraded setup. It's my dialup machine at home. I'd
also like to deny access to port 25 from remote sites. I've tried:
ipfwadm -I -a deny -P tcp -S 0/0 25
However, this still allows remote connections to port 25 on my dialup box.
Thoughts? I presume this would be much easier if I used a static IP, but
the boxes I use don't authenticate with TACACS+ or radius, so I can't just
make an entry.. I'd be able to do some cut/awk type stuff to extract the
IP and add the stuff to the bottom of /usr/bin/pon, but I just need what
rule(s) to add... In fact, here's the awking I'd be using:
ifconfig ppp0 | head -2 | tail -1 | awk -F '{print $2}' \
| awk -F: '{print $2}'
That would output my current IP address on ppp0
Thoughts?
