Ventajas: Entre otras, soporte para algunos controladoras IDE (como la famosa
ALI, y algunas otras), y algo mas de hardware, y un sistema de archivos _mucho_
mas rapido.

Desventajas: Al igual que en el 2.2.x (x=8), todavia se presentan algunas
corrupciones en sistemas de archivos...

PD: Existen parches para 2.2.x para algo de hardware soportado solo en el 2.3.x

 un mensaje de  ¡error! virus detectado en su sistema, no se reconoce el

 deshabilité el antivirus de la BIOS y ya todo va normal.
 
   ¿Es corriente esto?

sí, es normal que pase eso, el kernel de linux toma el control sobre procesos 
que en otros sistemas operativos realiza la bios. Por eso canta el antivirus. 
En linux no te hace falta, pues toma directamente el control sobre el hardware 
de modo más eficiente que cualquier bios. Simplemente, mantén desactivada esa 
opción.

 problema era que estaba corrupto en mi CD, de modo que me lo bajé de iNet y 
 lo instalé directamente. A partir de entonces ningún problema. De todos 
 modos, tampoco es un paquete muy importante.

Yo también tengo problemas con el paquete 'eterm-background'. Me temo que la 
distribución de Citius lo trae corrupto. El problema no es que sea un paquete 
más o menos importante -que creo que no lo es-, el problema grave es que te 
deja la instalación del dselect a medias porque la suspende en ese punto. 
Entonces puedes creer que ha terminado y no es así: quedan muchos paquetes 
todavía por instalar, por eso echarás de menos paquetes que crees haber 
instalado. Yo lo soluciono desinstalando con --force ese paquete y diciéndole a 
dselect que continue con los paquetes pendientes.

Bueno, yo lo sigo haciendo  como hasta ahora, con `gpm-config'
para la cónsola y `xf86config' para Xwindow.

¿Es eso?

Cuando  se   utiliza  `xf86config'  hay  que   tener  presente
quese   sobreescribeel   ficherode   configuración

Hola Debianeros!

Me ha ido muy bien con el gnome, sin embargo tengo problemillas con el gdm.
(Gnome-Display-Manager). No me acepta el usuario root. De hecho en las
caritas que aparecen solo esta la de mi cuenta de usuario normal.

He leido y releido el manual, y no consigo nada. Y sin gdm, cuando llamo al
startx, me carga el enlightment, pero no gnome-session, aunque halla
agregado la línea exec gnome-session en /etc/X11/Xsession como dice el
manual de instalación.

Por último, donde fijo mi variable LANGUAGE=es??? La puse en profile pero al
parecer alli no es porque me carga el gnomo en inglés, y siempre tengo que
darle LANGUAGE=es y export LANGUAGE antes del gnome-session para que salga
en español.

Bye y gracias de antemano a quien pueda aclararme las dudas!

Es mas rapido, es mas facil y sobre todo no puedes evitar

solo una facilidad de linux que puede provocar dolores de

estan acostumbrados a windows y dos). Ademas no puedes
controlar cosas como tiempo de aviso a los usuarios y

Re: Kernel 2.3.6 ?Inestable?

1999-07-09 Thread daniel

Emm... jolas barb.. que se sepa la mayoría de las cosas que se hacen
referentes a Linux aunque sean inestables suelen ser mil veces más
estables que cualquier versión de Winblows hiperparcheada, aunque cuando
los desarrolladores llaman a algo inestable y el kernel tiene el número que
tiene... 2.3.x es por algo... probablemente funcione bien en general, hasta
que encuentres alguno de los posibles bugs que tenga, por eso es una
versión que aun está en desarrollo, puede que esté muy bien, pero no la
consideran totalmente acabada... por eso aconsejan que se tenga cuidado y
que si tienes muxas cosas importantes en tu máquina que mejor uses
cualquier kernel estable.

Por mi parte para lo que hago realmente no distingo entre un 2.2.5 y un
2.2.10 o quizás un 2.3.6, asi que antes de cambiarme de kernel me
informaría de qué me ofrecen estas nuevas versiones que me pueda interesar,
creo que hay un archivo que se llama Changes en el tarbal del kernel donde
explican los cambios, etc.  En concreto uso el 2.2.5 por el driver de la
sblive :P

Bueno... saludos

Primero gracias por las abundantes respuestas. En vez de responder a cada uno
lanzo aqui una respuesta general:

1.- La tabla se define asi:

CREATE TABLE tabla (
id  int not null unique primary key,
country varchar(80)
);

2.- No hay ningun error en la utilizacion de comillas simples o dobles.

3.- El usuario que ejecuta estas instrucciones tiene plenos permisos.

4.- La respuesta UPDATE 0 significa que ha actualizado 0 registros, o sea
que no ha hecho nada, que ese es el problema. Deberia decir UPDATE 1.

5.- La version de Postgres es ls 6.3 (en mi opinion aqui esta el problema, no
creeis?).

A ver si a alguien se le ocurre otra cosa, pero es muy raro que una cosa tan
basica de SQL no este soportada en la version 6.3 !!! Vale que vamos por la 6.5
pero ...

Gracias otra vez,

 ¿De verdad?  _Hoy_ es un muy mal día para instalar potato porque hay

 funciona muy bien.  Y en los periódos de `freeze' suele ser más
 estable `unstable' que `frozen'.  Yo tengo dos máquinas corriendo
 potato y un montón corriendo slink, y la verdad no veo que unas u
 otras sean más `inestables'.
 
   Si el 2.3.6 fuera seguro ya sacarían otra versión que no lo fuera (y tú de

  Pues no te creas, el 2.3.9 no me compila, cagontó! Debe ser $DEITY o mi Cox

 Consejo... si te vas a pegar a un kernel en desarrollo, espérate unas
 pocas versiones... yo no instalé 2.1.x, sino hasta x = 70 o algo así,
 pues las versiones iniciales cambian mucho y muy rápido, pues se

/etc/shutdown.allow is present.  It then compares the login names in
that file with the list of people that are logged in in a virtual
console  (from /var/run/utmp). Only if one of those authorized  users 
or root  is  logged  in,  it  will proceed. Otherwise it will write the
message

 shutdown: no authorized users logged in

No se mucho o mejor nada del tema (solo se un pelin de sql), pero suelo
tener suerte resolviendo problemas asi que... se supone que SQL distingue
en esos valores las minusculas de las mayusculas? Si la respuesta es no, ya
sabes por qué no actualiza, si la respuesta es si... entonces quizás sea un
bug, compruebalo usando otro valor que no sea FRANCE, pon spain u otro que
no exista en tabla, si se actualiza, después prueba a actualizar a FRANCE
desde spain, si te chuta hay gato (digooo bug) encerrado...

esta el fallo (vuelco 2 linias ejecutadas con psql):

base= select id,country from tabla where id=49;
id|country

49|France
(1 row)

base= update tabla set country='FRANCE' where id=49;
UPDATE 0

 Hola,

 Me gustaria saber como se hace para montar una particion con Windows95 o
 WindowsNT en un sistema Linux.
 Creo que hay que añadir una entrada en el fichero /etc/fstab, pero no se
 que tipo de sistema de ficheros hay que detallar.


Para montar una unidad Win96/98, haces

mount -t vfat -o uni_xlate /dev/hda2 directorio_de_montaje

En la linea anterior estoy suponiendo que tienes el win95/98 en la segunda
particion del primer disco, sino es asi, debes poner el
hd{disco}{particion} correspondiente.

En el caso de Windows NT, si tienes instalado NTFS en los nuevos nucleos hay
un modulo nuevo que permite montarlos, entonces actuas como en el caso
anterior pero con la opcion:

-t ntfs

en lugar de vfat.

El uni_xlate es para conservar los caracteres extendidos de windows, sino
hace una cosa rara con los acentos y demas.

¿como los puedo evitar? ¿por qué aparecen? en definitiva... todo ...
De lo poco que he leido me parece deducir que son archivos de volcado de

   Supongo que no, pero por si acaso, como yo no tengo ni idea...

Menos mal que has dicho 'Supongo'...  ;)

Mira, este es mi /etc/fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

/dev/hdc   /cdrom  iso9660  defaults,noauto,ro,user  0  0

Las tres últimas líneas con las que buscas. Después, con un simple:

mount /mnt/xxx
ó
mount /cdrom

montas lo que quieras, como usuario normal. Héchale un vistazo al man de
fstab para más detalles. Esto no lo monta automáticamente al arrancar, pero
tb se puede hacer. 
Montar el disquette automáticamente al arrancar no me parece muy util.

Si aun asi te parece que 'trabajas' demasiado, usa líneas como estas en tu
.inputrc, comillas incluídas:

\e[[C: mount /cdrom\C-m
\e[[D: umount /cdrom\C-m

\e[[E: startx  ~/x.out 21\C-m
\e[17~: less ~/x.out\C-m

Pulsando F3 montas el cd, con F4 lo desmontas. Con F5 entras en las X y con
F6 lees el fichero x.out que es donde redirijo la salida. Haz la variaciones
que creas oportunas y listo.
Esto solo funciona en consola. Tb se podrá hacer en las X, pero no he sabido
hacerlo.

Olá para todos!

Vejam se alguém pode me ajudar: instalei o slink no modo Workstation 
padrão e o usava há algum tempo sem nenhum problema. Até que eu resolvi 
instalar o Gnome. Não via muita utilidade nele, já que eu não tenho nada 
contra linha de comando e programas em modo texto. Mas como meus irmãos estão 
começando a usar o GNU/Linux, queria incentivá-los instalando coisas como o 
Balsa, GnomeICU, etc. Fui no site do gnome e segui as instruções a risca. 
Primeiro, adicionei a linha:

deb ftp://gnomeftp.wgn.net/pub/gnome/gnome-1.0/debian slink main

no /etc/apt/sources.list . Depois, apt-get update e finalmente:

apt-get --download install task-gnome-desktop task-gnome-apps task-gnome-net 
task-gnome-wm

Queria salvar os arquivos em disco para instalar depois. Depois de 
algumas horas baixando arquivos, rodei:

apt-get install task-gnome-desktop task-gnome-apps task-gnome-net task-gnome-wm

O apt não retornou nenhum erro, e eu mudei o ~/.xsession para iniciar 
o gnome-session. Entretanto isso não funcionou, tive que logar como outro 
usuário e apagar o .xsession . Tentei iniciar o panel na mão, mas vinha o 
seguinte erro:

panel: error in loading shared libraries
/usr/lib/libgnomeui.so.32: undefined symbol: gdk_imlib_get_cache_info

Isso ocorre com qualquer aplicativo gnome. Além disso o Window Maker 
parou de funcionar, estou usando esse fvwm horroroso (com cara de Windows95 
arghh), já que minha máquina não gosta muito do enlightenment :)))

Reinstalei todos os arquivos que estavam no /var/cache/apt/archives/, 
mas o problema não foi solucionado. Se alguém tiver alguma idéia de como 
resolver o problema, por favor, me ajude.

Obrigado,

Eu não entendi o motivo pelo qual você não instalou estes packages direto da
Debian...
Se bem me lembro o Gnome está no stable.
Eu costumo usar o Gnome com o Icewm.
Usando dpkg não dá pra ver quais packages estão quebrados?
Essas mensagens de erro podem indicar que há alguma library de versão 
incorreta?!
Esses Packages binários do gnome foram compiladas com qual lib?
Estão aprecendo por aí alguns programas compilados com a Glibc2.1, poderia ser
esse o caso?
De qualquer forma use o dselect ou apt para atualizar seu Debian Slink.

Pode ate ser, mas seria uma p*** sacanagem eles colocarem um pacote

 De qualquer forma use o dselect ou apt para atualizar seu Debian Slink.

Zip Drive

1999-07-09 Thread Itamar
Oi pessoal,

estou tentando instalar meu Zip Drive Iomega paralelo mas não estou
conseguindo. Leio os módulos, scsi_mod, sd_mod e só então o ppa, mas
nesta hora recebo a seguinte mensagem:

/lib/modules/2.2.5/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol

se eu leio o módulo parport antes, a resposta é que o dispositivo está
ocupado. 

Como viram estou usando o kernel 2.2.5. Alguma sugestão?

Squid hogging memory with children

1999-07-09 Thread Greg Baker
I just upgraded Squid (to 2.1.2-1, the newest in stable).  It's 
started to spawn a bunch of (16) child processes that consume a lot of my 
memory.  Despite my best efforts with the config file, I can't change 
the number of children.  Can anybody give my a pointer on this? 

I just want to use squid as a cache for my PPP connection, and don't 
want to hand over 100 Mb to it.

The following output might help anybody who might understand what's 
going on: :-)

The /etc/init.d/network file really doesn't have anything to do with
diald. It should be configured to setup the configuration of the Ethernet
network interface. There is nothing in there that should relate to diald.
Your description doesn't seem to indicate that you're having an Ethernet
configuration problem.

Diald should automatically dial your ISP through your modem when you send 
IP traffic from your machine. It should do this with no other user
action. It should act exactly like it does using 'dctrl', but you
shouldn't have to take any action other than telnetting, ftping or web
browsing. So, I would surmise that you haven't quite got it installed
correctly. My advice would be to get the 'Dial-On-Demand mini-HOWTO' found
at various places and retrace your steps on the installation. There is
also some useful info in /usr/doc/diald, but I think I pretty much
followed the mini-HOWTO. It actually sounds like you have a lot of it
working, it will dial and connect correctly upon command, so it shouldn't
be too bad figuring it out.


RE: Re[2]: The vexed 2-CD problem...

1999-07-09 Thread Carley, Jason \(Australia\)
Steve,

In my opinion, multi_cd is quite unintuitive and difficult for someone new
to debian to understand. There is no clear explanantion of when to change
the disks, what to enter at each prompt and how to do the update.  I should
know too, I had great trouble with it. Ended up mounting the disk manually
and installing from there.

These things should generally be approached from the point of view of: If I
was technical but totally new to debian (not UNIX/Linux) and just wanted to
install the CD set, could I just put the disk in and follow the prompts?
Particularly relevant for dselelct as it seems to be more used by newer
users.

I have seem many problems posted here recently.

Jason.

Compaq Presario 1245 Touchpad interface problems

I just got the new laptop, and have been quite satisfied with it, except
when it comes to X...

The primary problem is that I must configure X for a serial mouse, because
I don't know what device and port to pick for the touchpad. Am I out of
luck, or is there a working choice available in XF86Setup?

While I'm at it, does anyone know how to get the graphics card into any
other mode but the super low res? I can only see about 10% of the
screen, and I can't scroll. Is this also the best I can do?

Please CC me, as I am not subscribed to this list.

help: setting up dial-in mail server

1999-07-09 Thread Bob Billson
g'day Debianers... It's been a long day.  I've been searching through the
HOWTOs and on the Web.  My brain is burnt.  I need some help! :-)

I set up a Debian (slink) box set up as a mail/file server for a small local
newspaper a few months ago.  The same machine connects their Win95 LAN to the
Net through a cable modem.  Works great!

Today, I was asked to set up a special use account.  They want to allow a few
select users to be able to dial in from a Windows machine to get/send mail
through a POP server and *nothing else*.  The nothing else was emphasized.
They don't want the users to be able to roam around the Linux box, the
internal LAN or get out on to the Net directly.  If the user somehow breaks
out of POP server, they want to connection to die immediately.

I already have a dial-in PPP account for a branch office of the paper.
However, that account it allowed to do anything any local user can do.  So
obviously sharing the account it out.  I tried two different approaches
today and ran into problems with each.  I could use some advice and help on
which is the better approach and some suggestions why it isn't working.

First, I tried setting up another PPP account , but couldn't figure out how to
restrict it to only pop3, imap and smtp.  I had it sort of working, however
once the POP or IMAP server exited, the user is dumped into a regular shell.
Definitely not good!

Second, I tried a regular shell account, however the user's .bash_profile
contained:

/bin/stty -echo -onlret
exec /usr/sbin/ipop3d
exit 0

(Probably don't need the last line, but it's there as a just in case.)
That worked better, but not perfectly.  When we ran tests with Eudora Light,
which is what they will be using, we had some problems.  Apparently, Eudora
barfs if sees any newlines or echoed characters.  This the reason for the
first line.  This wasn't reliable though.  Watching the output from the ipop3d,
we saw newlines would sometimes get sent, choking Eudora.  Try again worked
fine.  Try again sometimes it worked correctly other times not.

When it did work, the Windows machine could receive mail just fine.  However,
it would hang when it tried to send mail with a telnet to mail.example.com
port 25.  Eventually, it would time out.  Other than not reliably passing
mail, the connection died as soon as the POP server died, so that much is
good. :-/

I'm hoping someone has already gotten Eudora to talk to a Debian box.  If
not some advice on what I'm doing wrong with either approach would be very
well!  Thanks for the help!!

xircom pcmcia card

1999-07-09 Thread Bob C. Ruddy
Hello,
  I've got a problem getting my xircom Ethernet+Modem multifunction card
working right. The first problem is that I can't get the card manager to
automatically load the modules for the card. The second problem is that
even when I do modprobe the module. When I run ifconfig it tells me that
the device doesn't exist. The strange thing is that about one out of ten
times though it does actually work. I've retraced my steps on the few
times I've gotten it to work but have not been able to reproduce the
results of it working. I'm running kernel 2.2.10 if any one has experience
with this card please let me know. It is the one without the doggles on
it. Thanks again for your help.

Re: Can not setup up mouse for xfree86 (new user)

1999-07-09 Thread Dan
XF86Setup is a piece of crap from my experiences. First of all, you should 
make sure the hardware is for sure com1 and nothing else is trying to 
conflict. Obviously modems could interfere. If your bios definately says 
``Serial #1 - IRQ 4'' or whatever, then that is settled. Second, do an ``ls 
-l m*'' in /dev to see what symbolic link `mouse' is hooked up to. Of course 
it should be /dev/ttyS0 -- since your mouse is IRQ4. Then if thats set, 
/etc/X11/XF86Config should have ``Microsoft'' as the mouse type under the 
mouse section and ``/dev/mouse'' as the device. Also GPM should be installed 
of course.
If none of that works, then it is probably some hardware confliction or you 
don't have the serial enabled in the bios or something weird like that.

GPM is more likely to cause the problem rather than to help the mouse
working. I deinstalled GPM because of problems I was getting in the
system.
Try running xf86config, and afterwards, if it doesnt work, check the
/proc/interrupts to see whether or not you get an IRQ conflict.

Are you sure that the CD is on /dev/hdf? That would be the slave drive on
the the third IDE controller. This seems excessive for a 16 Meg 486 box. If
you have a single HD and CD its more likely that your HD is /dev/hda (master
drive on first IDE controller) and the CD is either /dev/hdc (master drive
on second controller) or /dev/hdb (slave on first controller).

Parallel-port CD-ROM install trouble

1999-07-09 Thread Todd Last

I'm trying to install Debian on my laptop with a Microsolutions 164700
model CD Rom.
This CD attaches to the laptop via the parallel port.

When I get to the part of the install that tries to load the kernel to
the hard disk, it can't find the CD-ROM

I understand that  I may have to add a driver for the CD-ROM, based on
info I found at : http:\\www.tourque.net
However, I don't know where to find the driver, or how to load it during

the install process.


Can anyone offer some help in terms of a step by step?

Heck, I even tried looking in the manual - to no avail.

Thanks




RE: Parallel-port CD-ROM install trouble

1999-07-09 Thread Paul Miller
Did you install the parallel port drivers in the kernel?  I think the option
is under block devices.  Depending on your drive, you may need SCSI
emulation and SCSI support enabled.  I have an external HP7200e CD-Writer
that connects to a parallel port and it works great.

The devices for the parallel port cdrom would be called /dev/pcd[0,1,2,3...]
If they don't exist, there is a script in one of the kernel document files
(paride? parport?) that'll create them correctly.

Good Luck,

How do I setup smail as a gateway for another email program

1999-07-09 Thread Bruce Jackson
I have a network that consists of a debian slink machine as a firewall
running smail.  It has local email on it for some users.  These users
can access their email either through POP3 or IMAP.  It works great. 
The problem is that I have a Novell machine inside the network running
Groupwise 5.5 that needs to be able to send and receive email to the
Internet through the debian machine.  The debian machine can currently
relay the messages out.  The problem that I am having is that the no
messages are allowed in to the Groupwise.  I have tried various things
and have gotten various 5xx error messages on smail.  The novell machine
does not have a fully qualified dns entry.  It is on a private class B
network.  I desparately need the current situation fixed.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Re: help: setting up dial-in mail server

1999-07-09 Thread Dan
Also, I don't know if this is at all helpful, but the mail daemon, qpopper

Subject: help: setting up dial-in mail server
Date: Thu, 8 Jul 1999 20:55:05 -0400

g'day Debianers... It's been a long day.  I've been searching through the
HOWTOs and on the Web.  My brain is burnt.  I need some help! :-)

I set up a Debian (slink) box set up as a mail/file server for a small 
local
newspaper a few months ago.  The same machine connects their Win95 LAN to 
the

Net through a cable modem.  Works great!

Today, I was asked to set up a special use account.  They want to allow a 
few

select users to be able to dial in from a Windows machine to get/send mail
through a POP server and *nothing else*.  The nothing else was 
emphasized.

They don't want the users to be able to roam around the Linux box, the
internal LAN or get out on to the Net directly.  If the user somehow breaks
out of POP server, they want to connection to die immediately.

I already have a dial-in PPP account for a branch office of the paper.
However, that account it allowed to do anything any local user can do.  So
obviously sharing the account it out.  I tried two different approaches
today and ran into problems with each.  I could use some advice and help on
which is the better approach and some suggestions why it isn't working.

First, I tried setting up another PPP account , but couldn't figure out how 
to

restrict it to only pop3, imap and smtp.  I had it sort of working, however
once the POP or IMAP server exited, the user is dumped into a regular 
shell.

Definitely not good!

Second, I tried a regular shell account, however the user's .bash_profile
contained:

/bin/stty -echo -onlret
exec /usr/sbin/ipop3d
exit 0

(Probably don't need the last line, but it's there as a just in case.)
That worked better, but not perfectly.  When we ran tests with Eudora 
Light,

which is what they will be using, we had some problems.  Apparently, Eudora
barfs if sees any newlines or echoed characters.  This the reason for the
first line.  This wasn't reliable though.  Watching the output from the 
ipop3d,

we saw newlines would sometimes get sent, choking Eudora.  Try again worked
fine.  Try again sometimes it worked correctly other times not.

When it did work, the Windows machine could receive mail just fine.  
However,

it would hang when it tried to send mail with a telnet to mail.example.com
port 25.  Eventually, it would time out.  Other than not reliably passing
mail, the connection died as soon as the POP server died, so that much is
good. :-/

I'm hoping someone has already gotten Eudora to talk to a Debian box.  If
not some advice on what I'm doing wrong with either approach would be very
well!  Thanks for the help!!

Why not just set their shell to /bin/false or some such.

That prevents login access, and should prevent ftp access
(you have to check - try man ftpd ).  But it allows pop
access, and imap access.

Re: preventing weak passwords

1999-07-09 Thread Carl Mummert

You can get better versions of passwd(1) that prevent users
from setting bad passwords in teh first place - we use
one called npasswd, which works a little TOO well 
(it screens out my attempts to give new users simple passwords).

I can give you the source if you need it, but there is a distro site out

problems running dvips (or xdvi) OR what's up with tetex?

1999-07-09 Thread Mark Wagnon
Hi all,

I'm trying to update my resume. I've run latex on the file with no
errors reported, but if I try to view the dvi file or make a postscript
file, I get a bunch of errors complaining about not being able to find
fonts. I've never used any fonts other than the default fonts that come
with the system. 

I originally wrote my resume under slink, and now I'm running potato.

Okay here is part of the error message:


This is dvips(k) 5.82 Copyright 1998 Radical Eye Software

and it keeps repeating until the file is processed. I searched for
mf.base and cmbx12 and they aren't even installed. They are supposed to
be in tetex-base (which I have installed) under /usr/share/texmf/fonts,
but there are any files there nor any where on my system.

Does anyone use TeX/LaTeX here. Have you had this problem? Know how to
fix it?

   I tried with blanks/dos formated  Hd, with Ms-dos 6.2, under W95, well, 
at less 20 different combinations, i read all Howto i find.. But -- always 
-- when instalation starts after booting kernel writes no more than 3/5 
lines (i have not time to read it), and the machine reboots, and again goes 
to the instalation, in other cases stop after booting kernel and dont move 
more.


   I'm sure i'm doing something stupid, but i dont know what ¡¡. Any idea.

Programming question: sizeof struct?

1999-07-09 Thread Joop Stakenborg
Hi there,

The upstream maintainer of one of my packages is having problems
with his code. I thought it would be nice to use the debian mailing
lists, to see if we can an answer on this. I will forward any solution
to him.

--
The reason why I have not released LogConv 1.54 for Linux is that I am
having problems with packed structures that is causing some file formats
to not be handled properly.  Even though I specify -fpack_struct the
generated code does not appear to actually do this.  Structure fields
are
offset and the return from sizeof() returns a value that is not valid.
For instance, if the structure were:

struct foo {
char text[3];
int  num;
};

sizeof would return 6 and not 5.  So it's obvious that the compiler is
placing a pad byte between text and num to align num.  I want it to
stop!

Thanks for your attention.

First off, if that modem is PnP (even if your bios isn't) you really want to

Second, do you really have 4 serial devices on that computer?  If not then

 The reason why I have not released LogConv 1.54 for Linux is that I am

Reading and writing structs to files is at best unportable, it is generally
considered bad design - and it is usually a broken method.  When handling
binary files you must think of the length of any specific field (int is not
necessarily 16 bit or 32 bit or 64 bit, for example!) and you must handle
bytesex.  These things CANNOT be reliably handled with structs without
kluging around.

NEVER read/write C data types to/from a binary file.  There are exceptions,
of course, but they are rare.

You should write a reader/writer that treats the file as an octet stream and
parses the data from it.

 So it's obvious that the compiler is
 placing a pad byte between text and num to align num.  I want it to
 stop!

You want your C compiler to compile something other than C.  In C, the only
guarantee you get is that the struct elements are stored in order (IIRC).

Power failure

1999-07-09 Thread Patrick Kirk
Hi all,

A fuse blew last night taking out the power supply to the server with my new
debian linux installation.:-(

On reboot this morning, the second NIC wasn't present so I had to modprobe
/lib/...tulip.o, then ifconfig eth1, then route add, then ipfwadm -F -p deny
and finally ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.0.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0.

All works now.  But what have I omitted to do so that the server does all
this on reboot automatically?

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

 This is a real shot-in-the-dark, but I've seen size problems like
 this on two occasions, one on a web server I wrote and another when
 I was doing the SMTP email for our campus mainframe back in 1984.
 
 It is buffer size related.  For short data streams, a buffer never gets
 filled, so when the first buffer gets sent, all the data goes.  For
 longer data streams, the first buffer fills and goes, but the second (or
 last?) buffer just sits there because nobody did a flush or set the
 push flag (never mind, you gotta be a real TCP/IP weenie to know what
 the push flag is all about). 
 
 If you have the source code to the program writing the mail message
 could you check to see if the output is getting flushed or closed?

My sendmail.cf (looking for Size)
===
  # maximum message size
  #O MaxMessageSize=100
 
  # open connection cache size
  O ConnectionCacheSize=2

  # how many jobs can you process in the queue?
  #O MaxQueueRunSize=1

Can my problem have something to do with this ?

apache-ssl and certificates in netscape

1999-07-09 Thread Nate
I've been plugging away trying to get apache-ssl to make https connections.

I have and I haven't succeeded.

When I type https://www.ompages.com/; the connections goes through w/o
netscape telling me the connection was refused.  However, it says
that the certificate is not approved for the attempted operation.

Why doesn't apache-ssl prompt netscape look at the certificate and
prompt for approval?

After this, the address bar says https://www.ompages.com;, but the 
little lock is not locked.

Any ideas as to how to fix this?  Thanks...

Hi,
How do I know if the package is no longer dependent by others?

for example, if I have a lib-blah package installed, and I want to know
if there are any other packages installed on my system that depends on
this package.

I don't want to try to remove it though.

Thanks.

Re: help: setting up dial-in mail server

I've just done something similar here at Ban-Koe.  I just set up normal
PPP access, then used ipfwadm to filter out all packets except those
destined for the appropriate ports on the mail server.  It appears to be
working-- allows access to the mail server, and prevents any other
types of use.  I'd be happy to provide more specific information, if you

 Bob Billson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/08 7:57 PM 
g'day Debianers... It's been a long day.  I've been searching through the
HOWTOs and on the Web.  My brain is burnt.  I need some help! :-)

I set up a Debian (slink) box set up as a mail/file server for a small local
newspaper a few months ago.  The same machine connects their Win95 LAN to the
Net through a cable modem.  Works great!

Today, I was asked to set up a special use account.  They want to allow a few
select users to be able to dial in from a Windows machine to get/send mail
through a POP server and *nothing else*.  The nothing else was emphasized.
They don't want the users to be able to roam around the Linux box, the
internal LAN or get out on to the Net directly.  If the user somehow breaks
out of POP server, they want to connection to die immediately.

I already have a dial-in PPP account for a branch office of the paper.
However, that account it allowed to do anything any local user can do.  So
obviously sharing the account it out.  I tried two different approaches
today and ran into problems with each.  I could use some advice and help on
which is the better approach and some suggestions why it isn't working.

First, I tried setting up another PPP account , but couldn't figure out how to
restrict it to only pop3, imap and smtp.  I had it sort of working, however
once the POP or IMAP server exited, the user is dumped into a regular shell.
Definitely not good!

Second, I tried a regular shell account, however the user's .bash_profile
contained:

/bin/stty -echo -onlret
exec /usr/sbin/ipop3d
exit 0

(Probably don't need the last line, but it's there as a just in case.)
That worked better, but not perfectly.  When we ran tests with Eudora Light,
which is what they will be using, we had some problems.  Apparently, Eudora
barfs if sees any newlines or echoed characters.  This the reason for the
first line.  This wasn't reliable though.  Watching the output from the ipop3d,
we saw newlines would sometimes get sent, choking Eudora.  Try again worked
fine.  Try again sometimes it worked correctly other times not.

When it did work, the Windows machine could receive mail just fine.  However,
it would hang when it tried to send mail with a telnet to mail.example.com
port 25.  Eventually, it would time out.  Other than not reliably passing
mail, the connection died as soon as the POP server died, so that much is
good. :-/

I'm hoping someone has already gotten Eudora to talk to a Debian box.  If
not some advice on what I'm doing wrong with either approach would be very
well!  Thanks for the help!!

RE: Parallel-port CD-ROM install trouble

1999-07-09 Thread Paul Miller
Oops, I didn't realize you were just installing Debian.  I don't think that
is possible with Debian's current boot disk.  I'd copy the installation/base
(15 MB) files to your hard drive + the kernel-source 2.2.10 package and the
kernel-package packge and install from there.  After you're done installing
and it reboots into Linux, Debian will load dselect and want you to pick
what packages you want to install.  At this point, hit ALT-F2 and log in as
root.  Next, you'll need to mount your dos partition (that you install
from).  You can do this by running insmod vfat then mount /dev/hda1
/mnt -t vfat where /dev/hda1 is your dos partition (usually drive C: in
dos/windows).  From the cd to /mnt/location_of_kernel-packages and run
dpkg -i kernel-*.deb  Hopefully those packages don't require any other
packages.  If not, you can begin compiling the kernel by running make-kpkg

I recommend compiling all of the parallel port drivers as modules and the
SCSI emulation and SCSI support into the kernel (if you need SCSI?)

If you're successful this far, you should be able to reboot Linux with the
new kernel (type uname -a  to make sure).  If so, then you can read the
parport/paride docs that are the Documents directory of the kernel source to
figure out what drivers you'll need for your drive, and how do use them.
And finally, if the drive is detected and working, you can switch back to
Debian's installation (ALT-F1) and install from a CD-ROM... you CD-ROM
device should be called /dev/pcd0.

Good luck!

 The devices for the parallel port cdrom would be called

 I'm trying to install Debian on my laptop with a Microsolutions 164700
 model CD Rom.
 This CD attaches to the laptop via the parallel port.

 When I get to the part of the install that tries to load the kernel to
 the hard disk, it can't find the CD-ROM

 I understand that  I may have to add a driver for the CD-ROM, based on
 info I found at : http:\\www.tourque.net
 However, I don't know where to find the driver, or how to load it during

 the install process.

 Can anyone offer some help in terms of a step by step?

 Heck, I even tried looking in the manual - to no avail.

Re: Exim SMTP

1999-07-09 Thread Ali Onur Uyar
Thanks for those replies from Jor-el, Gregory and Martin.
But the solutions Jor-el and Gregory had proposed did not work for me,
so I has to the some RTFM.

THE PROBLEM
I installed netscape and was trying to configure mail.
I have exim installed and configured for internet site, uses SMTP.
I tried to configure localhost as the outgoing smtp server.
Exim kept refusing connection requests to the SMTP port from netscape,
as if mail relay requests from clients on the localhost was not allowed.

THE SOLUTION
I decided I must allow mail relaying for localhost.
Checked /etc/exim.conf and found:

  # The setting below locks out the use of your host as a mail relay by
any 
  # other host. See the section of the manual entitled Control of
relaying
  # for more info.

  sender_host_reject_relay = *

So this means mail relaying is disabled, even for the localhost ?!?
So after doing some RTFM, I decided I will add the following line 
to /etc/exim.conf

  sender_host_reject_relay_except = localhost

And now, finally everthing is working fine.
Just wondered, is there any gain from disabling mail relaying for 
the localhost by default?

 That prevents login access, and should prevent ftp access

Does setting the shell to /bin/false prevent ftp access?
Anonymous and for users with accounts too?  Seems I recall it does not prevent
ftp for users with accounts on the system.
