 Hola Emilio,
 
 prueba con la siguiente instruccion, como root:
 
 makewhatis

¿Donde esta makewhatis? Yo tengo /usr/bin/whatis, pero no encuentro
makewhatis.

 
   todos los paquetes que instalaste al principio fueron dados de alta en
 
 la base de
   datos la primera vez que se ejecuto el boot (se ejecuta
 automaticamente un

A mi me salen las paginas de los paquetes que he instalado despues de la
primera instalacion. Supongo que los procesos de instalacion actualizan
esta base de datos de paginas man ¿no?

 
 Espero que te sirva de ayuda

 Asunto: Re: A vueltas con el KDE


 Hola :

  Hola,
  Me temo que este tema va a comenzar a aburrir :-( . El
 caso es que he
  intentado instalar KDE 1.1 que venía en PC-Actual de Marzo,
 viene tanto en
  formato .deb como en formato .rpm, el caso es que en
 formato deb no viene la
  librería qt pero sí en formatao rpm (qt-1.42-4) asi que la
 debianice con
  alien y luego la instalé, pero cuando intento instalar
 kdesupport*.deb me
  dice que le hace falta qt1g 1.42 o superior ¿¿??, tambien
 se queja de alguna
  otra librería (libstde++2.9, ...). Me he leido todos los
 redme que he podido

 ¿Será que el loader fue avisado que instalaste las nuevas
 bibliotecas?
 Te recomiendo hacer :

 - Comprovar que existe una entrada en el archivo
 /etc/ld.so.conf indicando el
 camino donde se encuentran las bibliotecas qt*. Si no hubise,
 en una nueva linea
 pon el camino.

 - Como root haces :

   # ldconfig

 Con esto las nuevas bibliotecas seran registradas por el loader.

  (incluidos los de la verdión KDE 1.0) ¿alguien podría
 orientarme sobre que
  librerías instalar y donde las consigo? ¿le puedo cambiar
 el nombre al
  paquete debianizado con alien? ¿son las mismas librerias
 con distinto
  nombre?, los paquetes deb del KDE ya los tengo pero el resto .

 Supongo que puedes  obtenerlas de ftp.kde.org.

 Suerte.

El lanzamiento oficial de slink fue aplazado a última hora una semana
hasta el dia 9 de Marzo. Principalmente por una razón que nos interesa
a los hispano-parlantes: el dpkg tiene problemas graves cuando se usa
en una máquina que tenga definida como lengua oficial otra diferente
del inglés.

Algunos proponian que se lanzara debian 2.1 con una nota explicando los
posibles problemas con dpkg, pero realmente mas vale esperar otra semana
y tener un dpkg mas estable. Se espera que la debian 2.1 ya venga con
ese problema solucionado.

Se retrasa una semana por diversas razones.

Una de ellas es que dpkg escupe cores cuando el locale no es C.
(Supongo que nadie de esta lista quiere que el dpkg se le cuelgue a

El lanzamiento se ha retrasado a la semana próxima, principalmente
debido a problemas de última hora en la red de réplicas FTP.  

Al cambiar enlaces simbólicos por los ficheros correspondientes hubo una
pequeña descoordinación entre el servidor maestro y las réplicas, con el
resultado final de que la versión de Slink para ciertas arquitecturas,
creo que Alpha y Sparc, estaba hecha unos zorros en la mayoría de las
réplicas. Así que conviene dejar pasar unos días para que se vuelvan a
sincronizar. (Hemos hecho honor de nuevo a una vieja tradición de Debian.
No puede haber versión publicada sin que se vaya a la porra alguna
máquina importante en nuestra red de réplicas).

Como el desajuste se produjo a lo largo del fin de semana, (las
puñeteras máquinas no descansan los domingos...) y encima con el lío de
la LinuxWorld Expo, las noticias llegaron demasiado tarde a la
dirección de Debian (nuestro director andaba viajando de Holanda a San
Francisco, unas 24 horas de avión y aeropuertos). Por eso no se ha
informado del retraso hasta hoy por la mañana. (Y nosotros celebrando
anoche como si tal cosa). O:*)

Aprovechando el retraso incorporaremos dos correcciones, una para el bug
de seguridad que ha aparecido este fin de semana en el procmail (también
es inoportuno el condenado) y otra para unos problemillas que tiene el
dpkg cuando el superusuario tiene definido el locale como algo distinto
de C o POSIX (lo cual por otro lado sigue siendo una práctica
peligrosa en cualquier Linux porque puede producir efectos no deseados en
otros programas/demonios. Se admiten informes de error y/o parches). :-)

O sea, que no hay mal que por bien no venga, y tendremos publicación el
próximo martes 9 de marzo. Mientras tanto podéis usar la slink para ix86
a modo de final-release-candidate.

¡Hola a todos..!

Bueno, tengo una pequeña red montada en casa. Un pentiun 100, un K6 y un
portatil. Todos con debian 2.0. La red me funciona bien, pero ahora tengo
problemas con internet. Antes con ppconfig y pon me conectaba pero ahora
creo que no me funciona. Parece que conecta pero si arranco el netscape se
cuelga (funciona bien off line), he intentado hacer pings varios sin éxito.
Cualquier ayuda o sugerencia sobre como resolver el problema será bienvenida

 Lo curioso del caso es que no me desconecta. Aunque me da un error

IP-aliasing

1999-03-02 Thread Ian Keith Setford

I have a one gateway with a 3c905b (Boomerang) running 2.2.2 just fine.
When I use ifconfig to alias an ip it works no problem.  On a different
machine, an HP Vectra, with a 3c905b? (Cyclone) and the IP-aliasing works
only with 2.0 kernels.  Weird.  I have compiled 2.2.2 for this Vectra 6
times with variuos kernel configs to try and narrow the problem.  No luck.
Then I copied my .config from the Gateway and compiled, no go.  I also
just copied the kernel image to the Vectra, no go.  

Anyone have an idea why it would work on one machine and not another?  I
haven't swapped the NIC's because my box is the Gateway and I don't want
to lose my stability.  Selfish I guess. Anyways, does anyone have a
suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

In reply to:Daniel J. Brosemer

Quoting Daniel J. Brosemer([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 
   I'm having problems with samba 2.0 (the .deb in potato) that I was hoping
   someone could help me with.
   
   My win95 box cannot be seen by smbclient, and my linux box cannot be seen
   by my win95 box.  Both can ping each other, however, so I don't think it's
   an ether problem.
  #1 RTFM samba-2.0.2/source/web/diagnose.c   !!!
 
 This looks useful, I'll spend the time to find out how it wants to be
 compiled sometime.

Shhh, boy did I screw up!  It was supposed to say DIAGNOSE.TXT!
Sorry!!!

 
  Cay you ping the Linux box from Win95 using both the IP address and
  the machine name?  If not check win95 hosts  lmhosts.  Check Linux
  /etc/hosts.
 
 I did not have entries in the hosts/lmhosts for the respective machines,
 and adding them fixed the problem of 'smbclient -L 192.168.1.30' dieing,
 though I still don't understand why, since I was using an IP address, but
 no matter as it works now.
 
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[~]$ smbclient -N -L localhost
  I connect with
  smbclient '\\win\WINC' -N
 
 Yes, what I was attempting to do was list shares on the win95 box.  The
 similar command did not work before, either, though.
 
   Why is my samba box not the master? (I've got my smb.conf attached later)
   btw, FRIGG isn't a printer, but I would like to have it serve a printer
   which explains the Comment field.
  This is all explained in the docs!  To have your Linux box be the
  master put this in [ global ]
 os level = 33

The docs say that an os level of 33 forces the Linux box to be the
master.  Well that USED to be the case anyway.  I am using my old
smb.conf. from 1.9.10 and it works the same in 2.0.2.  Maybe I should
RTFM on 2.0.2 myself.

 Still does not work, I eventually got it to be master, but not with this
 line which appeared to have no effect.  I had been going through the
 BROWSING.txt file and removing and adding many things from smb.conf as
 experiments but to no avail, it just so happened that my os level = line
 was commented out when I pasted non-comment lines into the message.  I
 always read docs before posting questions, and have been trying to figure
 this out for over a week.  Please give people the benefit of the doubt
 before exclaiming that everything they need is in the docs.

Sorry but it seems like a lot of people don't.  I have never seen the
smbclient done like you had it  thought THAT was the real problem.
As it was so different, I thought you might not have read the docs. 

  After reading the doc's let us know what you had to do to get it up,
  OK.
 
 I gave it one last stab after the small success with your /etc/hosts
 suggestion I figured there were more resolution problems, and so I bit the
 bullet and enabled the builtin WINS server in samba, pointed the win95 box
 at it, and all appears to work.  I don't like this because I think there
 should be a better way, but in the meantime, I'll use this as it appears
 to work.

Yes that would bother me to.  It looks like you are close now tho.  A
few more tweaks and you will have it.

Good luck!  Thanks for reporting back.  And I apologize for the tone
of my first reply.
 
 Thank you both very much.  Your help is appreciated.

   Even Debian is refusing to install properly on it, the last semi

   partition id was written to the disk in a way that was not completely
   correct. How can I correct this? Is there a Hex editor I could use to
   clear the boot sector of the disk so a new install would work correctly?
   
  
  I would go to  http://toms.net/tomsrtbt and get his 1 floppy Linux system.
  With it you will be able to look at the HD and might be able to figure
  what went west.
 
 This requires a floppy formatted at 1.7 MB, which will challenge many
 floppies which format successfully at 1.44 MB (Linux or DOS).  I went
 through five good floppies before I could install it.

It only took me 3 of the Fuji's Bob.  But I have had no trouble using

 Hi,
 
 The last thing I expected to have problems with during my
 recent hamm installation (2.0.34) was with the modem, but 
 guess what?
 
 I spent a couple hours for the configuration, and figuring
 which jumper switches to use, my modem is using ttyS3. By 
 the way does anybody think it would be easier to use the 
 PnP mode, rather than hardwiring to COM3,IRQ4 ?
 
 The problem I'm having right now, is I can only run programs
 such as minicom or seyon, when I have root privilages ! 
 I tried creating a symbolic link to /dev/ttyS3, called it
 /dev/modem, and even when I used this ordinary users still
 cannot access the modem. 
 Help will greatly be appreciated !

Did you check permissions on /dev/ttyS3... Whoa  ttyS3 isn't COM 3 its
COM4.  

COM 1  3 use IRQ 4 ( ttyS0  ttyS2)
COM 2  4 use IRQ 3 ( ttyS1  ttyS3)

Re: cpu used too much

1999-03-02 Thread Andrei Ivanov

 My laptop wmcpu type applets show the cpu running at full speed all the
 time.  I this a problem?  What should I do about it...?

Try top and see what is the process that eats up all the CPU.
Naturally you should not see CPU working a lot, unless you are, for
example, starting Netscape. For example, on my computer CPU load is 5-8%
at most, when I'm not doing any compilations/etc.
If a process eats up 95% of CPU it means it's crashed. Some processes just
don't die quietly when they crash, but go into loop instead, therefor
eating all the CPU.

What are consequences of that? Anyone?
I'd figure heat that builds up will eventually become a problem
overheating your CPU, which will result in errors and crashes.

So 'top' and see whats causing the problem. THen kill the process, if
needed.

into a loop, like when a program crashes, the computer will act strange...
Things will be extremely slow, or will not work, etc...  If you check with 'top'

It's not going to overheat your CPU unless things are broken anyway -
your CPU should be able to handle 100% utilisation quite happily.  It
will keep things warm, but hardworking processors (usually) run hot.

What it does do is take resources away from processes that are actually
doing useful work, and indcates that something down the line is broken.

Hmm... maybe I need to keep my eyes open more.

Why is my samba box not the master? (I've got my smb.conf attached 
later)
btw, FRIGG isn't a printer, but I would like to have it serve a printer
which explains the Comment field.
   This is all explained in the docs!  To have your Linux box be the
   master put this in [ global ]
  os level = 33
 The docs say that an os level of 33 forces the Linux box to be the
 master.  Well that USED to be the case anyway.  I am using my old
 smb.conf. from 1.9.10 and it works the same in 2.0.2.  Maybe I should
 RTFM on 2.0.2 myself.

Well, the docs still claim that this is the case, though from personal
experience I can tell you that it's obviously not that simple.  I'll be
sure and post when I figure out exactly the problem.  Maybe we could
benefit from a Samba Quick-Start and FAQ if there isn't one.  I'll look,
and if not, I'll start one when I figure this thing out.

  Still does not work, I eventually got it to be master, but not with this
  line which appeared to have no effect.  I had been going through the
  BROWSING.txt file and removing and adding many things from smb.conf as
  experiments but to no avail, it just so happened that my os level = line
  was commented out when I pasted non-comment lines into the message.  I
  always read docs before posting questions, and have been trying to figure
  this out for over a week.  Please give people the benefit of the doubt
  before exclaiming that everything they need is in the docs.
 Sorry but it seems like a lot of people don't.  I have never seen the
 smbclient done like you had it  thought THAT was the real problem.
 As it was so different, I thought you might not have read the docs. 

Well, it _was_ a little different.  I'll clean the dust off my glasses
next time.

   After reading the doc's let us know what you had to do to get it up,
   OK.
  I gave it one last stab after the small success with your /etc/hosts
  suggestion I figured there were more resolution problems, and so I bit the
  bullet and enabled the builtin WINS server in samba, pointed the win95 box
  at it, and all appears to work.  I don't like this because I think there
  should be a better way, but in the meantime, I'll use this as it appears
  to work.
 Yes that would bother me to.  It looks like you are close now tho.  A
 few more tweaks and you will have it.
 Good luck!  Thanks for reporting back.  And I apologize for the tone
 of my first reply.

Re: DHCP client for 2.2.x/token-ring???

to the effect of interface is not ethernet.  There's a patch floating
around for version 0.70 which (mostly) makes it work with token-ring,
but it won't apply against later versions (and a quick browse through
the source seems to indicate that it wouldn't be a straightforward
conversion).

Luckily, a gentleman on the linux-kernel list has sent me a patch for
dhclient.  I can probably try it out tomorrow - hopefully we'll be able
to roll from there.

how to set up the delete key under X Window ?

Under X Window
backspace works in the standard way but delete works exactly
the same way as backspace.

How can I achieve the  key delete working under
X Window in all applications (e.g. xterm, emacs, mathematica, netscape, 
vim,..) in the standard way (erasing the sign after cursor not
before, like backspace does) ?   


On the console (without X Window) delete works in the
standard way (erases signs after cursor).

dselect dumps core on me :-(

I can start it allright, but as soon as I hit enter on any of the

Do dpkg and apt use the same database?

1999-03-02 Thread Andy Spiegl
According to E.L. Meijer \(Eric\) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 
 Dselect and dpkg and apt all use the same db.

Are you sure?  When I do a apt-get update followed by a dpkg -l ...
I sometimes do not get the same as when I do dselect, Update first?
I have the feeling that dselect does one more thing.  What supports
this feeling is that apt-get update says:

 Get [blabla]
 Updating package file cache...done
 Updating package status cache...done
 Checking system integrity...ok

whereas Update in dselect gives me:

 Get [...]
 Updating package file cache...done
 Updating package status cache...done
 Checking system integrity...ok
 Merging Available information
 Replacing available packages info, using /var/cache/apt/available.
 Information about 2779 package(s) was updated.

Does anyone know how to do everything with apt-get only, so that
dpkg still has the correct information?  Is it as simple as
copying /var/cache/apt/available to /var/lib/dpkg/available ?

Thanks a lot,

attempting to do a DNS lookup on your domain.  Seeing that it doesn't
exist, it just denies your attempt to send.  I gather you are on a dialup,
so my reccomendation would be to edit your conf files to send mail through
a smarthost.  If you're running smail, you can do this easily by running
smailconfig which will prompt you through the whole process.

   (I've snipped out the address of the person I'm mailing to for the sake
 of maintaining their privacy). My own machine is named 'debian' and I'm 
 'jesse'
 on that machine. I connect to the Internet via Earthlink. I can mail this
 message ok, so what's up?

Their domain might have helped so that I could test my theory, but then I
probably would have been too lazy to do so, so it probably doesn't matter.

stop machine before fvwm2

This seems like a dumb question, and I'm sure this is 
probably really easy, but I'm still learning here...

I need to boot my machine 1 time without loading the 
window manager (fvwm2), is there any way to do this?  A

Any help is much appreciated!

It looks like the recipient's mail server insists on legal sender's
address on email envelope.  For example, your envelope

From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar  1 23:47:45 1999

is rejected because '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' is not legal internet address.
I had similar problem, some time ago.  My solution was to re-generate
/etc/sendmail.cf from /usr/src/sendmail/cf/cf/linux.smtp.mc:

include(`../m4/cf.m4')
VERSIONID(`linux for smtp-only setup')dnl
OSTYPE(linux)
FEATURE(nouucp)dnl
MASQUERADE_AS(better.net)dnl-- my ISP
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl -- my addition
FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl

It turned out the following section controls how sendmail writes
an envelope:

###
###  Ruleset 94 -- convert envelope names to masqueraded form   ###
###

S94
R$+ $@ $93 $1
#R$*  @ *LOCAL*  $*   $: $1  @ $j .  $2

Enabling WINS in Samba solved my problems as well. Win95 is broken -- It

Get the drivers disk from 3Com and make the drivers as per their

there you can set the IRQ and the other setings of the card.

 dbootstrap procedure of configuring the PCMCIA and the network.
 Everything worked: I could NFS mount to get base2_1.tgz, and I could
 ftp to a Debian mirror to get the packages.  Then I stopped doing that 
 and went through a painful Windows NT installation.  I finally got
 winnt working, and went back to the Debian install.  Now the network
 is totally unreachable - I even wiped out the Debian partition and
 started over, doing exactly the same thing in dbootstrap that I had

 can't load anything in Debian.
 
 Is it possible that WinNT (with a Softex cardmanager) reconfigured
 something that gets saved in the Etherlink III PCMCIA card?  I did
 change something in the BIOS, but it doesn't seem relevant (I disabled
 the IR port).  Other than these two possibilities, I don't see how the
 WinNT setup could have affect Debian - or am I missing something?

Re: insert eps files in a TeX document

1999-03-02 Thread mcclosk

 Excuse me, but I have to do this in TeX, no LaTeX.

epsf.tex works in plain TeX, as far as I know. In the TeTeX
distribution, it's in /usr/lib/texmf/tex/plain/dvips/epsf.tex. It's
well documented there. Here are some excerpts from the file:

---
This file contains TeX macros to include an Encapsulated PostScript
graphic.  It works by finding the bounding box comment, calculating
the correct scale values, and inserting a vbox of the appropriate size
at the current position in the TeX document.

To use, simply say

   \input epsf % somewhere early on in your TeX file

then where you want to insert a vbox for a figure:

\epsfbox{filename.ps}

Alternatively, you can supply your own bounding box by

   \epsfbox[0 0 30 50]{filename.ps}

This will not read in the file, and will instead use the bounding box
you specify.

The effect will be to typeset the figure as a TeX box, at the point of
your \epsfbox command. By default, the graphic will have its `natural'
width (namely the width of its bounding box, as described in
filename.ps). The TeX box will have depth zero.

You can enlarge or reduce the figure by saying:

   \epsfxsize=dimen \epsfbox{filename.ps}
or

   \epsfysize=dimen \epsfbox{filename.ps}

instead. Then the width of the TeX box will be \epsfxsize and its
height will be scaled proportionately (or the height will be
\epsfysize and its width will be scaled proportionately).

 

and much more .

Quake No longer running for users

1999-03-02 Thread Peter Ludwig
Well, I did the funny thing today, I started upgrading my machine to
slink, after a few glitches (i.e. exmim returning 40-50 messages saying
that it wouldn't accept mail for @localhost) I seem to have everything
going smoothly (fingers crossed, haven't yet tried the network settings,
I'm moving soon and have the other machine packed already).

Well to cut a long story short, I got the basic problems fixed, but now
for some reason Quake (thats Quake 1) refuses to run as a user.  I've
checked all the settings I changed last time to get it to work but the
update kept them intact.  The exact error message I get is :-

svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions.

Now, what has changed with the permissions on I/O between Hamm and slink
that would account for this problem, and how can I fix it so I can run
Quake again?  Oh, before I forget I am running S-Quake, not X-Quake (for
those who can't figure it out), and I don't really have the resources to
run X-Quake properly, I use quake to do something while my machine is
downloading lots of megabytes of the internet/compiling a kernel whatever,
and I would rather _NOT_ run it as root.

Thanx in advance,
Peter Ludwig

BTW - If anyone responded to my earlier message about proxying and such
forth, could you email me your response direct, as I said I lost a few
emails this morning grin.

7.2 Low-Memory Systems
If you system has less than 6MB RAM, a paragraph about low memory and a text
menu with four choices can be displayed. This means that the system detected
that you don't have enough memory for a normal installation, hence must
follow a special low-memory installation procedure. Go through the menu
selections in order:


Use fdisk to create a Linux Swap partition (type 82). The swap partition is
needed to provide virtual memory during the installation process, since that
process will use more memory than you have in your system. Select the size
for the amount of virtual memory you intend to use once your system is
installed. 16 megabytes is probably the lowest amount that's practical, use
32 megabytes if you can spare the space, and 64 if your disk is large enough
that you won't miss that much.
In addition create a MINIX partition (type 81). This will hold the root
filesystem in the early installation process. Its size should be at least 2
megabytes. This partition can be deleted when the installation is finished.

Activate the swap partition.
Copy the root filesystem to disk. You will need a DOS-formatted floppy disk
with the root.bin file in it (for example, the rescue floppy disk).
Exit. The normal installation system will be started.

Well, it works for me.  If your main problem is that the other machine

When you say 'set up ip forwarding,' do you mean on the gateway/host or
the linux client?

I've followed the mini howto very closely, and feel quit close.  My
machines ping each other no problem.  But my linux client will not reach
the outside world.  I'm running 2.2.2 on both machines.  I think I need to
add a route on my linux client that says my gateway is 192.168.1.1, but
route add doesn't work, but the howto is RH specific and I don't have
the file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.

First create /mnt/main and then mount there CD. And in mnt create links

This way everything should work as expected.

 7.2 Low-Memory Systems
 If you system has less than 6MB RAM, a paragraph about low memory and a text
 menu with four choices can be displayed. This means that the system detected
 that you don't have enough memory for a normal installation, hence must
 follow a special low-memory installation procedure. Go through the menu
 selections in order:
 
 
 Use fdisk to create a Linux Swap partition (type 82). The swap partition is
 needed to provide virtual memory during the installation process, since that
 process will use more memory than you have in your system. Select the size
 for the amount of virtual memory you intend to use once your system is
 installed. 16 megabytes is probably the lowest amount that's practical, use
 32 megabytes if you can spare the space, and 64 if your disk is large enough
 that you won't miss that much.
 In addition create a MINIX partition (type 81). This will hold the root
 filesystem in the early installation process. Its size should be at least 2
 megabytes. This partition can be deleted when the installation is finished.
 
 Activate the swap partition.

 When you say 'set up ip forwarding,' do you mean on the gateway/host or

On the client.  Depending on how your Internet Connection is established
(I use pon/poff myself) it may or may not setup a default route on the
gateway.host machine.

 I've followed the mini howto very closely, and feel quit close.  My
 machines ping each other no problem.  But my linux client will not reach

Yeah, I had a problem with understanding how the ipforwarding worked when
reading the howto's myself.. that's why I use dotfile-ipfwadm I can then
just point and click grin (I hope that's a microsoft trademark, because
if it is...).  Anyhow, after allowing IP Masquerading I used
dotfile-ipfwadm and well, the system worked fine.

The Client machine needs to have it's default gateway set as your
gateway/host machine.  Oops... forgot an important detail before, you'll
need to allow the IP number for your client machine as part of the allowed
systems in your hosts.allow file for portmap:

Example from my system :-
start of file
# /etc/hosts.allow: list of hosts that are allowed to access the system.
#   See the manual pages hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5)
#   and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz
#
# Example:ALL: LOCAL @some_netgroup
# ALL: .foobar.edu EXCEPT terminalserver.foobar.edu
#
# If you're going to protect the portmapper use the name portmap for the
# daemon name. Remember that you can only use the keyword ALL and IP
# addresses (NOT host or domain names) for the portmapper. See portmap(8)
# and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz for further information.
#
portmap: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0
end of file

Also make sure (for security purposes, you don't want somebody playing
with your system from outside, i.e. the internet) that you have the
hosts.deny set similar to the file below

start of file
# /etc/hosts.deny: list of hosts that are _not_ allowed to access the
system.
#  See the manual pages hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5)
#  and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz
#
# Example:ALL: some.host.name, .some.domain
# ALL EXCEPT in.fingerd: other.host.name, .other.domain
#
# If you're going to protect the portmapper use the name portmap for the
# daemon name. Remember that you can only use the keyword ALL and IP
# addresses (NOT host or domain names) for the portmapper. See portmap(8)
# and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz for further information.
#
# The PARANOID wildcard matches any host whose name does not match its
# address.
portmap: ALL

end of file

These files are VERY important, without them setup correctly, no matter
what I did I couldn't do anything.

For your information portmap refers to the gateway/hosts DNS server, and
the above files should be on the gateway/host.

Hope this helps,

Setup ethernet connection

Dear Debian Users,
I need to setup an ethernet connection at work. I always use
debian at home, but never use it over a large LAN.

Could someone please tell me how to setup an enthernet connection?
Is there a tool like Redhat's netcfg to do this? Or do I have to edit the
file /etc/init.d/network by hand?

Also, could you please tell me what packages I will need in order
to use the ethernet connection?

Thanks very much. This is my first job using linux, I really want

Re: Setup ethernet connection

1999-03-02 Thread Paul Nathan Puri
Ethernet is very easy:

1) make sure you have your kernel configured right (i.e., mod for your
NIC).
2) add hosts to /etc/hosts
3) ifconfig 192.168.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.x.255
(a) do this on the host and the clients,
4) this should cover it.
5) read Ethernet-HOWTO.gz

Hamm--Slink, now fetchmail/exim behaves strangely

1999-03-02 Thread Mark Phillips

I've just upgraded from Hamm to Slink.  Fetchmail seems to work the
same as before, except that now, only the first 10 messages get to my
mail box straight away.  The rest of the messages sit around in the
/var/spool/exim/input directory for about 5 minutes before eventually
being delivered to my mail box.

Under Hamm the messages would all go straight to my mail box.  Why is
it that under Slink, only the first 10 get there directly, and the
rest take their time?

Thanks,

Mark.

Presumably you mean `without starting X'? (since fvwm2 is just another

a) interrupt the LILO boot by pressing the Control key and type
`linux single' in response to the boot prompt; that will put you in 
single-user mode and will not, therefore, start X.

or

b) edit g/etc/X11/config and change start-xdm to no-start-xdm [not relevant
to the most recent versions of X where xdm is a separate package and
/etc/X11/config is no longer used.]

or

c) allow xdm to start and use ctrl-R to terminate it at the login screen


If you are able to log in through xdm, you can also get to a console screen
by pressing ctrl-alt-F1 [and -F2, -F3 up to -F6] after your X session is up

Remote printers: lpr vs. lprng. Which one should I use?

Hi all!

Mi local printer works perfectly, but now I want to use one of the
remote printers of the Department. I will read the docs of related
packages in order to configure printcap to use it. But I have a doubt:

Which package should I use? lpr or lprng?

This is the situation: my computer has its own IP address
(147.156.6.236) and the printer is a HP Laserjet 4000 with its own IP
address (147.156.6.19). Then, should I need package cti-ifhp, or
magicfilter is right for me?

Svgalib needs suid root permissions. To give the executable the proper

The executable in the .deb is not like this for security reasons.


 Now, what has changed with the permissions on I/O between Hamm and slink
 that would account for this problem, and how can I fix it so I can run
 Quake again?  Oh, before I forget I am running S-Quake, not X-Quake (for
 those who can't figure it out), and I don't really have the resources to

xquake does not have this problem anyway.

problems.Browsers arena and gzilla, which worked before, now give
error messages. Chimera2 still seems to work, but when used to
download netscape communicator, something is wrong with the downloaded
file. The file shows up in ls , gunzip says no such file or
directory.Have downloaded netscape several times from different sites.

Tried variations of XF86Setup, no help. Have new IBM Aptiva with pro
rage card, not listed in XF86Setup, so used generic VGA card.

Tried to remove and reinstall gzilla. dpkg -l says it is installed,
but dpkg -purge says that it is not installed.

I have tried both gunzip xxx.tar.gz and gunzip ./xxx.tar.gz, neither
works.

Have looked at file dependencies for gzilla and replaced several, not
all, from ftp rather than CD, no help.

As far as I can tell, except for browsers, everything else works as it

Yes, it was my intention. :-) Small errata: links dists, stable and frozen

stable---. , frozen---. And apt looks into /mnt/dists/stable/main and it

 idea about changing my ms-dos partition to a vfat partition which would
 support long filenames is a good idea, but I don't know if that will help
 me since I have Windows 3.1. Thanks for your patience. I'm trying to leap
 from Windows 3.1 to Linux instead of following the path from Windows
 3.1...to Windows 95to Windows 98to an old Windows NTto a new
 Windows NTto who-knows-what. The get-the-CD suggestion was also a good
 suggestion but right now I'm trying to introduce myself to Linux on my
 computer which has no CD before I make big changes to my other computer
 which my family uses every day (it has Windows 3.1, also). 
 
 
It may be worth investigating the UMSDOS file system - this provides a Unix
file system (with long file names) over an MSDOS filesystem. The Unix files
live in an MSDOS directory, with a DOS file called something like linux.---
which holds the long filename and protection/ownership info etc; all the things
that Unix likes which DOS does not have. The files themselves look to the
DOS side of things like a truncated form of their long names. 

It is useful for people running in a mixed environment because it allows you
to pinch space from your DOS partition and use it as real Unix space


John Lines


p.s. Slackware had support for a UMSDOS boot disk - you could run with no
'real' Linux partition at all. It would be very handy to have that in Debian
at some stage.

 type cd ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]. This example doen't tell me 
 
 how to input passwd.
 
Try ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
That's what I use with netscape, and it works fine.

Re: IRC and BitchX newbie -- how to get started?

1999-03-02 Thread homega
Mark Phillips dixit:
 
 I've just installed BitchX because I want to join in on the Slink
 release IRC party thingy.  Unfortunately I have never used IRC, let
 alone BitchX before, and I'm really not sure how to get started.  I
 tried man bitchx, and also looked in /usr/doc/bitchx, but it seems
 this documentation is for people who already have a basic idea about
 what's going on.
 
 Can anyone point me to an introductory HOWTO or some similar such
 thing.

If you get any answer in private, could you let me know, please?  I used irc
long ago with doze and telnet, but bitchx (or xbitchx) doesn't look like
that at all.

TIA

Where does my mail go?

1999-03-02 Thread Robert-Jan Kuijvenhoven
Hi,

I have changed from using fetchmail/elm to using fetchmail/mutt, but now can 
not find the messages fetchmail receives.

When I start Mutt, it goes to the /var/spool/mail/username box. Mutt claims 
this box is empty. When I change to ~/Mail/inbox, mutt also can not find any 
messages. The only messages mutt can find are in ~/Mail/received. These 
messages where put there by Elm.

What I wrong here?

Thanks,

Robert-Jan

Re: PINE config

1999-03-02 Thread Kevin Conover
there is a secion in the code that contains this paragraph:

#  Define this if you want to be sure to not allow users to change their
#  From header line when they send out mail. Even if you don't define
#  this the default is to not allow From to be changed. The user would
have
#  to edit (by hand) allow-changing-from into their .pinerc feature list
#  or the sys-admin would have to include it in the default feature-list.
#  Even after that, the user still has to include it in either their
#  default-composer-hdrs or customized-hdrs to get at it. Instead of
#  defining NEVER_ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM, an easier way of preventing From
#  changing is to put the feature no-allow-changing-from in the
#  /usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed file.
#/* #define NEVER_ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM /* probably not needed */

so in the feature-list section I added:

allow-changing-from

at the bottom in .pinerc (note that you have to do this by hand, there
isn't a config option to allow it) and then in the setup - config section
I did this:

   customized-hdrs=From: Kevin Conover [EMAIL PROTECTED],
Reply-To: Kevin Conover [EMAIL PROTECTED]

try that and see if it's what you're looking for.

 Interesting glitch in Pine 4.10
 
 My ISP requires that my mailer send my login ID and correct domain name.
 Configuring Pine for that was no problem, however, I use a remailer

 ISP's my email stays the same.
 
 I read through the archives and FAQ's and found the custom-headers
 settings.  Setting the Reply-To worked without a hitch.
 
 One problem - even though I have From: set in the custom-headers table,
 the sent header only contains my local name and domain-name.
 
 Any thoughts on what might be causing the mix-up?  Or how to force the

How to mount my bernouli rw for world on samba

1999-03-02 Thread Kenneth Scharf
I moved my bernouli drive out of my windows nt desktop to make room
for a larger HD (only two drive bays).  So I shoved it into the linux
machine sitting under the table.  The linux machine is running smb so
I can have it share it's disk space and printer with the nt box (so
far this has worked fine).  While I was able to set up a directory on
one of the fixed disks to be rw to the nt machine, I can't seem to get
this to work with the bernouli.  If I set the mount point on the
bernouli to be a+w,a+x,a+r it changes when the drive is mounted (by
root)so users can't write to it.  Any ideas on how to set permissions,
fstab options, mount command options, smb.conf so I can attach to the
bernoulli (or any removable drive for that matter) from the windows
network via samba for rw access on the bernouli?

My current directory structure looks something like this:

/dev/hda1---/
/dev/sda1---/usr
/dev/hdb1---/usr/local
 ||
 |   /push
 |
 /iomega

The directory /usr/local/push is sharable as rw
by windows nt on the network.  I want to do the same
with a bernouli mounted at /iomega.

Thanks for any help!

This is a good application for the rescue disk (of the installation floppy

 It'll tell ya all you need to know about what to enable in the kernel
 and how to use ipfwadm etc.
 
 If you plan to use applications like ICQ or any servers on client computer
 on your network you'll need to use a Proxy aswell.

No proxy needed, the ip_masq_irc.o and others will handle this for many
cases (irc, ftp, real audio, cuseeme, quake, vdolive).

 I have a similar question.  Is IP Masquerading the same solution for
 networking say two, three, four computers (in a house or apartment),
 so that they can all share files and resources, as well as share a
 modem?
 
 Also, the computers will most likely be mixed animals, i.e. Windows
 and Linux.
 
 I'm looking into some type of multiple modem, ISDN, cable modem or
 something of the like connection, and having all computers in the
 house or apartment share this device, but also share files between all
 the computers, with NFS or samba or something similar.
 
 Is IP Masquerading the solution for this also?
