cannot loginto new system
I just setup a linux box and I cannot login remotely. for ssh I get: Standard version. Does not use RSAREF. www1.onesight.com: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config www1.onesight.com: ssh_connect: getuid 521 geteuid 0 anon 0 www1.onesight.com: Connecting to www2 [209.219.42.36] port 22. www1.onesight.com: Allocated local port 1022. www1.onesight.com: Connection established. Connection closed by foreign host. and for telnet I get just the last line, I'm doing htis as a regular user and not su. I has to be something simple but I'm new. Thanks for any help.
Re: cannot loginto new system
Here's where it got interesting, I found that hosts.allow and hosts.deny both had 'all' entries, I assumed that the 'all' in hosts.deny might be the culprit so I deleted the entry and guess what? ssh started working, but telnet keeps hanging up. In other words, telnet connects, spits out the escape sequence, then connection closed by remote host Do the hosts.* files hae anything to do with tcp wrappers? is that why telnet connects then hangs up?

Re: .bash_history
Something that might help: bash has both emacs and vi key bindings, and I think it defaults to emacs, SO if you know that you used 'ls -stuFF' many commands ago, you can type CTRL-R ls and bash will search backwards in the history list for the last time you used ls and instantly take you there. I use this whenever I dont wanna hit the up arrow 100 times.

changing user name
If I get a user who wants to change only their username how do I go about doing a thorough job? Simply changing the passwd entry doesnt seem to be the right thing because then all the files with ownership oldLogin.oldLogin wont be availabe for user newLogin. Thanks for the help.

Actually, changing the name in the password file is exactly what you want to do. Everything else in the system is using the user ID number to keep track of who owns what. (The user ID is the third field in the passwd file.) Use the ``vipw'' utility, as it will do the right thing with respect to shadow password files, etc. Also, if a group was created with the same name as the user, you might wish to edit the /etc/group file and change it there as well.

installing on nameless CDROM
IF given an old 486 with a blank HD and the CDROM has no manufacturer name on it, how do you install something like Win 95 that does not come on a bootable CD? I mean I could setup the CD via autoexec.bat and config.sys on a DOS boot disk but those assume that I have the right driver. Is there a universal driver I can use? where is it? It a weird chicken and egg thing, you can only install W95 from a CD but you cant get the computer to recognize the CDROM. Thanks for the help.marlon

Re: Pine 4.1
There are deb available BUT if you insist on installing from sources: The trick is to use the the 'ncurses' library instead of termcap. You'll have to muck with the makefile to accomplish this. Be sure you've installed the 'ncurses3.4-dev' package, which will give you the appropriate headers and (static, I think) libraries. Then in the sources open pine/makefile.lnx and be sure the line which begins with STDLIBS= contains '-lncurses' and not '-ltermcap'. It should build just fine now. Also do the same in the pico makefile if you want pico. marlon On Thu, 22 Apr 1999, Rick Salvador wrote: Hi, I've been trying to compile Pine 4.1 on my Debian 2.1r0 system and I get getting an error about not having ltermcap.

kernel errors with PPP
I after installing the base Debain 2.1 using the cdrom I rebooted and
attempted to continue the package installation process via apt PPP.
When I attempted to dial up (pon provider) after pppconfig I got weird
kernel error to standard out. So I decied to install from the CD instead.
After doing this and rebooting I noticed that 'pon provider' started to
work!! Maybe I installed something necessary?! ANYWAYS after dialing up
and installing some packages via apt PPP my dialup STOPPED working.
This time the errors showed up in /var/log/messages so I've appended them
to the end of this email incase anybody can help.
I'd really like to not have to keep rebooting to RedHat to dial up.
Thanks for any help sombody might bestow on me. Marlon

Re: HELP TO INSTALL DEBIAN FROM CD-ROM
I had the exact same problem, I've also met several others with the exact same prob but despite seeing this same problem on this mail list about 4 times no one has been able to find the root of the problem. The way I got around it was to manually add the isofs module. Find it (maybe from another linux installation) put it on a floppy or mountable partition, copy into /lib/modules/your kernel/fs/ edit /lib/modules/you kernel/modules.dep, run modprobe isofs and try dselect again. I think maybe there was a buggy image out there that we got our CD from.Good luck marlon On Tue, 20 Apr 1999, michele bigi wrote: Please, I have a PC with a IDE CD ROM.

where is my kernel source?
After going through pppconfig (after a fresh install of Debian 2.1) I tried pon and got a error message about my kernel not supporting ppp. So I head on over to /usr/src/linux to run make xconfig but alas, /usr/src only has a dir named linux-x.y.z.headers (or something close). I was under the impression that /usr/src/linux always existed. How can I reconfigure my kernel under these circumstances? Do I need to download the source? Am I looking in the right place? Help.

Re: fs type iso9660 not supported by kernel
I had the same problem. I couldn't get a viable solutions so the way I solved the problem (I cheated): I remembered that I had a RedHat installation on another patition. I mounted that partition, copied the isofs.o file into my debian partition into /lib/modules/version/fs (or something like that) edited modules.dep and ran modprobe isofs. That's it. Deselect could load the cd's just fine. If you aren't as fortunate to have another linux partition to get the file put it on a floppy and load it during your install. Just an idea.

I looked and looked and found no isofs module to install in the install routine. I even did a find on the cd and found nothing. Very confusing.

Undersanding bootable media
In my quest to understand booting/LILO/MBR's I've come a cross a phenomenon I dont understand. Friend of mine (linux guru-ish) said that to make a linux bootable floppy you had to use a lowlevel tool like dd as opposed to just copying the files over to the floppy. But dos floppies boot just fine by making copies of other dos boot disks. BUT I tried to copy the files from a dos boot disk onto an CDR, and guess what? It wont boot. Despite the fact that it contains the exact same files as the floppy. I understand that in order for media to be bootable it's MBR needs to contain a program to point to the OS, so how does a copied dos-boot disk work? Thanks, marlon

Sep 2 12:34:54 quimney kernel: Detected scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 Sep 2 12:35:14 quimney kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 18, scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 0x25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Sep 2 12:35:18 quimney kernel: SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes.

The above reports something about sda but I cannot mount that. The console reports errors similar to the above ones. The last line of the above reads that its unable to read partition table, what does that mean? is it scsi error? a kernel/module error? help... -marlon
scsi newbie
I have an Adaptec adapter with an internal CDRW and IOMEGA Zip on the external 68-pin connector. On bootup my kernel seems to see the devices but does not report back mountable points (ie sda, sdb4). I have appended the relevant dmesg section, thanks for your time.

Re: Qt installation problem
use the deb package. I did it yesterday and it set's all that annoying stuff for you. It did it all in one command: dpkg -i qtstuff.deb recommending a shortcut,marlon On Thu, 20 Aug 1998 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm trying to install Qt 1.40 on Debian 2.0 and have a few questions.

SCSI IOMEGA Zip
I'm having trouble getting my kernel to see a scsi zip drive. I understand that there is a special module (ppa) for parallel drives, but what about scsi drives?
Re: I've hozed my root login.
This is way to big an operation to solve this problem. You can specify which shell you want to su: su -s /bin/bash Thanks for the help, unfortunately it didn't work. It seemed to ignore the shell directive, it spit out something about /bad/shell/path not valid even though I scecificaly told it to use a valid shell. I read the su man page and it agreed with your recommendation but alas it wouldn't let me log on as root. Is my system buggy? -marlon -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
I've hozed my root login.
As root I ran chsh and accidentally entered an invalid shell path. chsh didn't detect this mistake like it does for a regular user! I wasn't aware of my blunder till next time I tried to login as root. I tried booting from the rescue floppy and then mounting my linux drive so that I might edit /etc/passwd but the mount did something weird, when I cd /mnt/etc there was nothing there, I mean the dir was empty, hence I couldn't edit anything. This emptiness phenomenon was also true for other dirs. weird! Any words of wisdom? marlon -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
