Re: A perplexing conundrum... Wingate/Linux
Try the following - Default gateway on your pc = wingate pc IP see /etc/init.d/network and set the gateway ip here - DNS server = wingate pc IP add the following line to /etc/resolv nameserver 192.168.0.1 ( change 192.168.0.1 to your wingate ip ) hope that works for you . cheers Citizen-Class Hacker wrote: Alright people, I've got a question for you all. We have a multi-machine LAN set up in the house using Coax cables. My parents each have a Win98 comp, my mom's is connected to the Net and she passes it to us using Wingate.

The problem, however, lies in that I am running a dual Linux-Win98 machine (the Win98 comes out very soon after I solve this, and a few more, problems) and I would like to access the Net. Now, following typical parent protocol, they intend to maintain control of the Net connection, so I can't set my machine up as the server and use IP masquerading as has been suggested in other messages of this nature.

Wine

network setup script ??
Hi all. I just installed woody :) on my brother in laws pc , he was keen to poke around. He had allready got hold of an older mandrake pack but it had developed some problems. And since potato is still cooking... ( and i dont have a local copy- i keep a copy of woody myself though on a HDD in a removable cady ). I installed using the potato boot floppies on a cd, unfortunately i got some files mixed up. And it skipped the network setup part. I didnt worry at the time. But now id like to set his networking up, what script do i run ??. Is it on the system or only on the install floppies. I dont know enough about the network setup to do it from the ground up, i can fix it :) when its there ( ussually ). Ill keep digging anyway .. thanx

Re: Newbie's experience Installing Debian
Unfortunately the install side of things i have found to be rather rough at the edges myself. Installed debian over a year ago. And dumped the other OS. Ive been trying to create potato cd's from a copy on my HDD using debian-cd package. Finally mamaged to get it to a state where it creates images. They boot ok but the install seems to have some problems ( may be due to my modifying debian-cd trying to get it to work.) Anyway ive given up. Which is unfortunate as ive got 3 mates who now have redhat / mandrake installed. sigh and ive got a copy of potato on my HDD bugger. I dont see much point giving them my slink CD's :(.

Unfortunately I've found they are. if it makes ya feel any better my first debian install took 3 long days, 1 day was wasted because of a broken CD(curropted files i will never order from cheapbytes.com again) the second day was wasted because of a broken FTP mirror(at the time, metalab.unc.edu i think since the debian mirror there was removed it was missing at least half of the distribution) the last day was successful because of a good CD :) john.d I take another look at the Debian Web Site. I see that the words `Official' john.d are reserved for the set that the Debian team produce so I decide that I john.d ought to be getting these. I phone around my home town, but no-one has a john.d set of Debian CDs with the word `official' on the cover. Indeed the guy on john.d the phone seems to think I'm a bit wierd for insisting on this. After about john.d an hour of acute embarrassement I give up and have another look at the john.d Debian web site. yeah... i think even cheapbytes may be an official distributor, but their CDs were so broken, and they never replied to my emails or phonecalls. bastards.. linuxmall.com has good stuff, sofar anyways. john.d There's a list of recommened books which come with CDs. That's what I john.d really need thinks I. So I phone around the technical bookshops and low and john.d behold one of them has a product that I think will get me going: john.d Debian GNU/Linux: Guide to Installation and Usage john.d Author: John Goerzen and Ossama Othman john.d Publisher: New Riders Publishing john.d CD Included: one CD haven't tried that one, but the one from O'reilley (sp) www.ora.com is good, step-by-step instrucitons, even an online version available. very good quality cd. john.d I don't know where that is? I see there is an option `list' which john.d automatically detects it so I try that. Apparently it's not there. Back to john.d my other machine, and do a find . Sure enough it's not there. What do I john.d do now? I press F1 like the start up screen told me. nothing happens. I john.d turn to the book. No hints. I spend the next 2 hours rebooting and trying john.d every possible path though the menu. including mounting the CD manually and john.d pointing the install process to the archives. It still wants this john.d non-existent file. john.d It's time to conclude that perhaps my hardware has some funny configuration john.d which this CD doesn't support. So, I borrow a machine and try again. Exactly john.d the same symptoms. bad cd. since debian is non commercial theres no gaurantee made that there are all good CDs out there, which is too bad at times, it happened to me, it happened to you..im sure it happens to a lot of people. john.d So after 2 days and $65 I have not managed to get even a login prompt. For john.d that price I could have got RedHat 6.1. john.d It's quite a demoralising experience. Are these problems common in Debian john.d installation or is it just me ?? john.d i wouldn't go so far as to say its a problem with debian, their ISO images are freely available to download and there are scripts to build an ISO based on specific packages. clearly some vendors download curropted files and/or burn bad cds, or burn incomplete CDs.

I have downloaded many debian ISOs since i had access to a fast net connection and every single one burned perfectly. vendors don't take enough care(some do, seems linuxmall does) in ensuring that their CDs are of good quality. i have bought 2 copies of the book from www.ora.com and highly reccomend it. i have done many many installations with those CDs and it goes great everytime. it is backed by both ORA and VA Linux, and the profits go to the debian project(it runs about $40) or you can get a good cd from linuxmall(it was good last time i

/etc/ppp what permission should it be
What should the permissions /etc/ppp be. I just updated potato recently and i notice they are root/root thus wmppp failed as it couldnt access /etc/ppp/peers which is root/dip and im a member of dip. For the meantime i changed /etc/ppp to /root/dip is this the wrong thing to do if so why have /etc/ppp/peers root/dip as group dip cant get in anyway. or can it ??? cheers.

Re: How to use Netscape mail w/local mail system?
How i set it up is as follows: Installed smail for SMTP, ( i use runq to force delivery in ip-up.d and in a wrapper script for POFF ). Installed fetchmail to retrieve mail from my ISP and pass it to the above, ( fetchmail is fired up by ip-up.d and stopped by ip-down.d ). installed qpopper for POP3 to retrieve the above with netscape. Told netscape my SMTP server is localhost, POP3 server is localhost, logon = my linux user name , password = my linux logon password. works fine so i also get any local system mail coming in ;0). Cheers Jesse Evans wrote: Folks, I've got Netscape 4.5 installed on my slink system. How do I get Netscape Mail to read from my local mail spool? I use a dial-up connection and have fetchmail set to periodically grab mail from my ISP POP account.

Most of the mail client programs I've experimented with have an option to be set up for this with no problems (for instance, KMail has a Use Local Mail choice which works just fine), but Netscape doesn't seem to capable of doing this. In PreferencesMail Newsgroups-Mail Servers I've selected Using Movemail-Use Built-in Movemail. When I ask for a new mail check, I get an error message complaining that Netscape cannot write to my mail directory. (It says it needs to write lock files.) It suggests that I set the permission of that directory to 01777 (it's currently -rw-rw), but doing so (it becomes -rw-rw-rwT) does not correct the problem. It also says that an external setgid/setuid Movemail program could be used in the event that all else fails and refers me to the Release Notes for more info. Well, the Release Notes don't cover this and I don't know what might qualify for an external movemail program. Has anyone out there in Debian-land made this feature work?

Then do an ftp transfer, only for those chucks where there is a problem. rsync is something like that and very effective. from the man page : The rsync remote-update protocol allows rsync to transfer just the differences between two sets of files across the network link, using an efficient checksum-search algorithm described in the technical report that accompanies this package. the technical report included in the debian package explains it all. hope that helps. -- ///\\/\\//\\\/\\/\/\/\\\/\//\\\\\\///\\/\/\// Patrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.patoche.org/ -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Re: ip-down does not stop ip-up's run-parts on disconnect
Thanx for the help , but ;0). Right pppd doesnt go down if ip-up doesnt which wont unless run-parts does which wont unless all scripts in ip-up.d do. And indeed ip-down then does not appear to launch catch 22 ( or so i thought ). (ok im a newby so it may not be the best way but it seems to work here, and it feels like a clean solution to my problem ) Detach ip-up from the script launching process by changing run-parts /etc/ppp/ip-up.d to run-parts /etc/ppp/ip-up.d And now pppd stops and runs ip-down and everything dies . R.I.P. when i run poff now i had allready fixed my ip-up.d scripts to check if ppp0 is up anyway using ( re your suggestion ) ifconfig | grep ppp0 , ;0) so they just exit themselves if run-parts invokes another.

mirror only resumes with timeouts not if its killed
hi all, Im using mirror to keep up with potato , and a few other bits and pieces. My PC is set to fire up at night connect and do its thing. Now I recently happen to notice that mirror actually resumed a file major suprise here i had never seen it do that before. I had a look at the code ( eek i know zilch about perl ;0) ) and it does appear to support resume. A bit of experimentation and ive found it only resumes files that it has timed out on, not those that it got killed on. I gather that on time outs it date/time stamps the temp file.in.blahblah file AFTER timeout and picks this up for resume ( time and names match size doesn't) next time around. If i kill it ( ie thru ip-down.d ) it does not do this, guess maybe im killing it the wrong way ( should i use a stick grin). 1) Now is there any way to get it to time stamp the file at the start of getting it ?? 2) How should i be killing it.
ip-down does not stop ip-up's run-parts on disconnect
Hi, ip-down does not stop ip-up.d's run-parts When ip-up runs it runs the scripts in ip-up.d using run-parts. This isn't working to well with me as i have several scripts in ip-up which run in sequence - one after the other. Thus if my line goes down my ip-down.d kills the current running script in ip-up.d but run-parts from ip-up is still running and simply proceeds to run the next script in ip-up.d by which time all my kill scripts in ip-down.d have allready run, so i find with the next reconnect things become a little messy :). Now how do i kill run-parts launched byip-up, i have tried adding killall run-parts kill -9 $(pidof -x run-parts) each into ip-down with not much success though ive had success when i manually run ip-down sigh No doubt im missing a few simple steps somewhere. :( Thanx for your help cheers

Hmm no help here then im running 2.2.5-ac3, potato, and i see its up to version 2.3.7-2. I dont think that alone is the problem run-parts ( invoked in both ip-up and ip-down ) does of itself not exit until all the scripts it is trying to run finish. And since i have 3-4 doing various downloads one after the other it only exits run-parts when the last script finishes. Ie i have found that ip-down kills the script in progress but not run-parts which then happily continues on to run the next script etc. Maybe there needs to be a modification to ip-down to terminate ip-ups spawned run-parts .

Re: Script to check whether modem telephone line in use --- how?
Simple solution, we have another phone downstairs ( i camp with the pc and modem upstairs). I bought myself a privacy adapter which is basically a phone splitter wich disables textension A if B is in use ( and vice versa), thus i do not get disconnected when they pick the phone up downstairs (Ahummm, well only until im told to get off the line that is ). Should solve your problem it works great only allows one line to be active, also has a led on each :). cheers Mark Phillips wrote: I think I may have misunderstood you earlier. Your father is using a different computer with a different modem? Yes. Different computer, different modem, different operating system, phone socket in a different room. I don't really see why your modem going off-hook should have killed his connection. Do you have his modem connected to the phone socket on your modem? No. The house is wired so there are connections to the phone-line both downstairs and upstairs. Why does pon kill his connection? Well because pon merrily walses in, spewing out phone numbers and other noise onto the line. Presumably this confuses the heck out of my father's computer causing his link to go down. (Incidently, the same happens to me when my father tries to connect while I have a ppp link running.) What I was thinking of is writing a script which will output the activity of the phoneline to my speaker for a few seconds, without actually putting anything on there, so I can check whether my father's connected without disrupting him.

First time it took me half a minute to find the resize corner ( using alt mouse button to move it across ) eeek !! The second time it was even worse the RAM count kept counting up and maxed , then swap started climbing up, response time went out the door ( coward ;0) ) so i three finger soluted Windowmaker (Take that !). ( ctrl-alt backspace ) which took a while itself so i watch swap climbing closer and closer to the max ( hmm more exiting then bloody TV down under, were using last years TV guide and getting nearly 90% accuracy, which is better then first time around ). Anyone hit this ;0) And what would have happened had SWAP run out of space. ? kaboom ??? Cheers.

Of course youll end up with different bookmarks, but this can be fixed using more links etc. Anyway the basics should be easy to set up once ~/.netscape is renamed netscape will go into user setup mode ( assumes a first use etc ) and recreate a ~/netscape dir structure etc cheers Christian Dysthe wrote: Hi, I am running Netscape 4.5 under Debian (hamm).

Also i found an email address in the above , so i gues ill fire what i got of to them. Thanx anyway Riding the kifes edge one's bound to get a few cuts ;0) Any help/advise appreciated, and yes ill continue to dig thru the mans but there's so many other things im also trying to get a handel on :).

Static binaries :how to create
hello all, Ive come accross a couple of static binaries in my search for windoze replacements, and since i download the occasional source to apps not in deb's i was wondering how one makes these. Now from what i understand they do not depend on lib's on my system as they are compiled in - thus making them much bigger - is this right. Anyway i have some favorite apps and thought if i can make static version myself then i dont have to worry about them breaking when i upgrade in future, which most invariably do and not all of these are kept up to date with newer libs. sigh i had hoped that with linux id escape that loathsome M$ style dll hell goes not. With my latest upgrade ( running potato ) i broke star office, and now question wheter if i buy a commercial app or game im going to eventually have to chuck it, or fork out for a upgrade , Since no doubt newer apps will require newer lib's etc sighh Im somewhat dissapointed to find im still stuck with that sort of mess :( Id hoped to escape it with linux. Of course its ussually not a problem with free source but ive found unless those are kept up to date eventually they just break as well. ( Yes i know update them yourself etc, id like to learn c++ but linux seems to be mostly c, so ive settled on learning the bash shell... first, then i'll aim higher :) ) Anyway linux now is my preffered OS though ive still got some windoze apps i have not found replacements for. ie Quicken, diary, several games . And yes i know about wine ( great effort :) ) ( windoze does it better )- i just want to lose windows completely.

frozen i386 killed dselect etc
Just updated with debian i386 frozen today andi ran into trouble as follows /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.0-1.so.2:undefined symbol : _register_fram_info which effectively killed dselect,xfstt (which caused x to bomb :)), and probably more. now i traced the symlink to - libstdc++-2-libc6.0-1-2.9.0.so and replaced it with one from another partition which has only the base install ( linux safe mode grin) same problem i eventually fixed that by replacing a file libm.so.6 -libm-2.0.7.so ( which i found using ldd libstdc++-2-libc6... libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40047000) libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4006) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x) ) with libm-2.0.7.so from my other partition and it seems to fix part of the problem dselect and xfstt are running again for now, just wondering what i havent yet fixed ;0) I dont know what package caused the problem, but ive no doubt someone does :) I cant say linux doesnt bomb as much as M$ windows, but some differences ive found 1) i have generally been able to fix it WITHOUT a reinstall 2) it runs like it did when i installed it( well not entirely true its running better as i understand it a bit more now grin) unlike windows which decays with time, i ussually needed to reinstall every +-3 months 3) it doesnt promise to be something it aint 4) i enjoy using it :) etc Thanx all
