Sorry if you get a duplicate.] I believe that the hwclock --adjust in the hwclock startup script and the hwclock --systohc in the shutdown script have considerable potential for harm, and should be removed from the default installation of Debian. First, suppose that I notice that my hardware clock and system clock are both off by one hour, I use hwclock --set to correct the hardware clock. Since I don't want my system time to change discontinuously, I do not change my system time. Instead, I reboot cleanly for the new time to take effect. On shutdown, however, the hardware clock is set back to the system clock, effectively undoing my action. Second, suppose that I notice that my hardware clock is wrong, but instead of changing it with hwclock, I shut down and change it via a BIOS menu, or DOS. Now, when I boot, hwclock --adjust will be confused about how much time has passed since the last adjustment and make an incorrect adjustment. Finally (and this one I'm not so sure about), every time the hardware clock is set (even with hwclock --systohc), hwclock writes drift information to /etc/adjtime. In the first case above, the clock was changed twice, both of which might have appeared to hwclock as huge drifts, which would mess up the clock the next time the system is restarted and hwclock --adjust is run. I believe hwclock does have some logic to detect large time jumps and not treat them as drifts, but I know that things can go wrong because they have with my system (my /etc/adjtime file had a drift of 2796.258301 seconds/day after I recently played with the clock). In short, these mechanisms are not reliable unless the user understands how they work. By putting them in place without the user's knowledge, you subject him to several pitfalls. Time is too important for this. Better the clock be inaccurate in a simple and predictable way. If you have thought this through and don't consider it a problem, please share the reasons.

Re: Pregunta sobre particiones.

El directorio /tmp es un mal sitio. Se asume que lo que hay en /tmp no requiere ser conservado y muchos sistemas (por ejemplo debian) lo limpian durante el arranque.

slink server crashing :(
Hi, We are running a slink debian distribution with kernel 2.0.36 on a celeron 333 as our file server. Our SCSI adapter is an Adaptec 2940UW PCI card, with this configuration: 2940UW Adapter | Seagate Barracuda 9.1gig UW | Quantum Viking II 9.1gig UW | Sony AIT Tape Drive -TERMINATION. The Adaptec configuration program correctly recognises all the devices, and the system runs fine 99% of the time. However, when the system is under heavy disk usage, it sometimes suddenly cold reboots, eg: while gunzipping a large .gz archive on the Barracuda drive the system rebooted. similar examples include copying large files from Windows/Samba clients to the server, and copying 3-4 gigabytes of files from the Barracuda to the Viking, using the unix 'cp' command. We have checked all the termination, and log files. Physical termination all appears to be correct, and there are no clues in the log files...the system simply cold reboots without leaving any error messages. Has anybody ever experienced these symptoms? Could it be due to a bug in the 2.0.36 kernel, or is it more likely an undetected hardware issue? Thanks, Ed. -- Ed.

Using gnome-apt as non-root
Is it possible to arrange for gnome-apt to be usable by a non-root user? To run it as root I have to mess about with X authorization and even once that is done my GTK themes aren't respected. I guess my question can be broken down as follows (and an answer to either part would be enough) 1) Is there a way to run programs as root from X, respecting such things as the current GTK theme; OR 2) Is there a way to enable a regular user to run apt/dpkg/gnome-apt? Thanks in advance, Stuart.
Re: still configuring PPP :-(
Hello and thanks a million to those who have responded to my request for taking some of your precious time to help me out. I downloaded wvdial and minicom like some of you suggested and wvdial cannot find my modem. I sent a message to them like they suggested because I am 100% sure that my modem is in Com3. For some reason Linux is not detecting it in ttyS2. COM1 and COM3 typically share IRQ4, and COM2 and COM4 typically share IRQ3. If you look at the output of the dmesg command (dmesg | grep ttyS) soon after booting you should be able to see the Linux kernel's detection of these devices. I guess that Linux will have no problems with the modem in COM3. Certainly it handles multiport serial cards that share interrupts with no problems. Still, in your present predicament I would be trying the modem on ttyS0 or ttyS1. Maybe you can move your two other serial devices and give this a try.
Re: still configuring PPP :-(
And I think that sharing of IRQs by serial ports is a kernel config option. It may be that your particular kernel can't do it.

Re: dhcp server

Hi,
I tried to setup the dhcp-beta (server) under slink. The machine
has two interfaces. I would like to serve only one, say eth1.
I edited the dhcp.conf file, the server was started but the
clients couldn't get dynamic IPs. Both, Win98 and Linux clients.
The conf file has just simple entries, since a single
192.168.9.0/24 range will be served.
The relevant parts are:
-
server-identifier 192.168.9.1 # eth1
option domain-name boo.br;
option domain-name-servers 200.136.xx.xxx;
subnet 192.168.9.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

option domain-name-servers 200.136.xx.xxx;
some other options; # I didn't recall from memory
}
What could be wrong with this? What else should I configure?
The eth1 interface support MULTICAST. Even though, I set I route
for 255.255.255.255 manually, but didn't help.
With tcpdump, I can see bootp and bootps being sent to
255.255.255.255. The clients machines, when booted in Win98, auto assign
some random IP if can't get via DHCP. After this I can see bogus data
being generated from them. So the network cables are okay! If I define
appropriated routes, I can even ping them.
Please, I would appreciate any help, hint or suggestion on this.

I can resolve hostnames from the command line so that isn't necessarily the issue. Is there an internal for name service lookup in Sendmail or is there something missing from sendmail.cf?

apt-get and windowmaker 0.60.0
Hello! I'm running slink (and apt 0.3.7) , but am interested in trying out the new version of WindowMaker. So I went looking around though the WM online docs and found the following URL which had the debs. http://master.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages All is good so far. So I download the main wmaker*.deb and do a dpkg -I on it and see that it depends on libc6. Assuming that libc6 is not the same thing as glibc2.1 (since my /lib/libc has a version of 6 at the end), I descided to take the plunge. He has a packages.gz file so I added the line: deb http://master.debian.org ~mmagallo/packages to my /etc/apt/sources.list When I run 'apt-get update', everything works fine. When I run 'apt-get install wmaker libwraster1 wmsound' I get a bunch of errors that look like this: Err http://master.debian.org ~mmagallo/packages/ libwraster1 0.60.0-1 404 Not found. My theory is I have a malformed apt line. So...the inevitable qestions: 1. What would be the proper way to form the sources.list line? 2. Do I have no business playing with these debs anyway? 3. Am I correct in my assumption that libc6 glibc2.1 (or whatever potato is running at)? 4. Is there a better place to find wmaker 0.60.0 debs? 5. (I'll sneak this one in) Where can I find updated slink debs for gnome? Thanks in advance!!! -Jonathan 404 Lupa - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ip masquerading/port forwarding
I'm using Debian/unstable and kernel v2.2.10. I have a ip masquerading Linux box setup and working. I'd like to configure ports 137 to 139 of an internal machine to act as ports 20137 to 20139 on the external interface of the Linux box. I.e., the internal ip address sent from the internal machine is replaced with the external interface's address and anything sent to the external interface on ports 20137 to 20139, the external interface ip address is replaced with the internal machines ip addressed and forwarded to the internal machine on ports 137 to 139. (I'm trying to get samba/windows networking to work over a linux ip masquerading box.) Any ideas? Thanks -Paul BTW- anyone know the ipmasq mailing list? I tried to subscribe to one of them and now I'm only getting the digest and can't post messages... (?).

I think you also want something to rewrite the outgoing stuff from the internal machine using port 137 to 20137 as well, right? This should do it: ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L internal.ip 137 -R external.ip 20137 ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L internal.ip 139 -R external.ip 20139 ...again replacing internal.ip and external.ip with the obvious. However, this time you want to use the internal.ip of the masquerading machine (I think, try it both ways).

If it is, look at routing: netstat -r. You should have a static route
for the local network and a default route to the router.
If it is not, use ifconfig, to see whether the interface has been
configured, is up, etc. Post the results from any inspection you make.
You're certain that you've compiled support for your NIC into the kernel,
are loading the appropriate kernel modules correctly, etc., right?
If you haven't already, read the NET-3-HOWTO

It contains everything you ever wanted to know about Linux networking.

I'm setting up a network at home and have gotten the router setup and
given the IP addresses to their machines, but my debian box won't talk to
the network. Oddly enough, the windows box will, so I know the router is
setup correctly. In order to do that though, I had to change the frame
type from auto to Ethernet 802.2. I can't get my linux box to ping the
router, nor get it to send out any packets that I can see. Does anyone
have any ideas of things to try to get my debian box talking to the rest
of the network? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: ftping through a router
Hi Rob, FTP is a difficult protocol in that it uses two channels/connections. The first one is the command channel which is the one you, the client, makes when it connects to the FTP server. The second is the data channel which the server makes BACK to the client when any data, such as a file or directory listing, is requested. The server connects from any port 1023 to the client on port 20, ftp-data. I guess that you used ipfwadm/ipchains to set your box as a router. What's probably happening is that you have blocked the incoming connection from the ftp server. To solve this you can either change your ip rules or try and use the passive (pasv) form of ftp where the server tells the client the port to connect to and the client then does the connection: note that some windows FTP clients can't do this commonly the dos box ones can't. Finally, if security is your concern you could use an ftp proxy such as the ones in the TIS Firewall toolkit.

Re: Trouble with xf86setup
Hi Teofil, As someone has already said it looks like you don't have the right packages installed in order to get the X Windows System running. The xinitrc file which is at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc is used to read in default settings for the X session so it's essential. According to my system, which is the stable branch, this file is part of the xbase-clients so you need to install that. My guess is that further back in the install process you have made some choices that have stopped all the required packages for X being installed - I think the install asks you about being a client server which is a bit confusing for new users as it is backwards! You can try going back and installing the packages which will probably require some messing. Alternatively skip this by not installing X now and then go back to it later: this is what I did, I didn't do X for a couple of weeks. In general X and PPP are the hardest things to install - when you beat them you are well over the hill towards gurudon ;-) Hope this helps, Steve On Sun, Jun 27, 1999 at 05:48:13PM +0200, Teofil Dereta wrote: Dear Debian, I am trying to install Debian GNU/Linux 1.3 onto my computer.

Netscape: rearranging bookmarks crashes extremely frequently, especially working with separators
For those of you dealing with Netscape Communicator crashes, have any of you encountered frequent crashing when you are rearranging bookmarks (dragging bookmarks around, and editing names), especially right after creating separators? (On version 4.08, Netscape installer, with manually-created libgnumalloc wrapper; version 4.51, Debian installer; and version 4.61, Netscape installer, with manual wrapper.) The high density of such crashes that I've been getting today and recently makes me wonder if the Motif library with which Netscape is linked is..um...a frustrating piece of crap. Something certainly is. Do we know if it's Netscape? Motif? (or a motif clone?) X11? something else? (Also, has the problem been reported back to the source of whichever software is a fault? Or has this case not been seen frequently and not been reported yet?) Daniel

XDMCP without xdm?
Is there any way I can allow remote hosts to access my machine via xdmcp without running xdm on the machine itself? (running xdm seems to lock the machine completely on a regular basis). Would running xdm without managing any local displays solve the locking-up problem? Alternatively, does anyone have any experience with whether any of the other display managers (kdm, wdm, gdm, login.app, ...) solve the problem of locking machines up? Do those provide xdmcp? Failing all this, is there a way to get a similar effect using startx? (ie, start an x session but run all programs from another machine). TIA, Stuart.

Re: Nameserver activity
Hi, If I get this right you are saying that even though you have a route to the IBM network the ISDN line to your ISP is coming up when you make a connection to the IBM network. My guess would be that the client program you are using is using DNS to connect the IBM host. If you are trying to connect to a place via a name then DNS will be called: you can put the host you want in your /etc/hosts file and alter /etc/resolv.conf so that it checks hosts before the resolver will stop this. As for the DNS calls it has to be something on your network that is trying to get out. I'm guessing you might have looked for things. The only thing I can think of is if the IBM network calls you, if you have tcp_wrappers running and PARANOID in I think it will do a reverse on the incoming IP address to try and stop spoofing.

Do I have to be subscribed to debian-user to receive debian-user-digest? No, you didn't say how long you've waited, maybe the digest is coming. They are sent out periodically. kent Thanks, Algernon NG -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null I've subscribed to digest on friday. And I didn't receive any digests. So I subscribed to debian-user again.

Re: XDMCP without xdm?
* Stuart Ballard [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Failing all this, is there a way to get a similar effect using startx? (ie, start an x session but run all programs from another machine). Use ssh! ssh will take care of seting up X-forwarding and setting the DISPLAY variable... On your client use startx with an xterm for your windowmanager. In the xterm ssh to the server and start the windowmanager of your choice from there. Now you're running all programs from your server. I've done this myself some times when the machine I'm at is really slow. I'm sure this could be automated if you use authentication keypairs... Do something like this in .xinitrc or whichever file is used with startx. -.xinitrc-- #if you have any special keybindings you'll want to do; xmodmap .Xmodmaprc #so your keybindings work when you type your password. ssh-add /dev/null some stuff you may wish to do... #On the last line you would normally 'exec' your windowmanager, but instead #ssh will start one on the remote machine... exec ssh your-hostname your-windowmanager-of-choice -.xinitrc-- Please note that I haven't tried this out, but it'll probably work... Take a look at the manpages for ssh, ssh-keygen and ssh-add and you'll get a feel for what to do. -- Ulrik Haugen [EMAIL PROTECTED] I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. -- Stephen Roberts
