netbase: ifconfig error messages
When I use ifconfig, I get the error messages: May 22 01:18:19 boson modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-4 May 22 01:18:19 boson modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-3 May 22 01:18:20 boson modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-5 Is something missing? I have a PPP connection to the outside world, but no local network. I use ifconfig from netbase-2.02-1.deb. --Derek Lee PS The following is the output of ifconfig, which I believe is correct: bluebox-67 root:/usr/local# ifconfig loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:357 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:357 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-Point Protocol inet addr:18.162.0.100 P-t-P:18.162.0.79 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5352 errors:2 dropped:2 overruns:0 TX packets:5486 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
Re: Where are the new packages put?

Is there a list of newly released packages with their location in the Debian archives? I assume you mean dpkg 1.2.0. These files are currently in the incoming area. Once they are proccessed they'll be moved to the correct place in the unstable tree of teh distribution.

Re: Root login is waiting
Erick Branderhorst writes: I have a problem with root login again. All other logins are fine, but root login is waiting after I typed the password. Even su isn't working anymore. I updtated some packages, including a few from Incoming this morning, after reboot, this behaviour is present. Sound familiar, a solution? This is a well know problem with syslog. However, it seems noone figured out how to get rid of it. It was reported for both syslog 1.2 and 1.3 and for almost all kernels between 1.2.13 and 1.3.100. We had a machine with this problem, too. I did remove the xconsole line from /etc/syslog.conf (I like my own configuration more, anyway) and installed the latest version (not the one from incoming) and now the machine is fine again. As far as I can tell syslog needs the time to log the root login (note that other logins are not logged, so there's no delay) in the presence of of the boot messages. Please try removing xconsole and see if that helps.

new installation floppies - please test
I have uploaded new installation floppies to ftp://ftp.i-connect.net/debian/unstable/disks-i386/current/ Please download them and test them. Changes: More support for installation on systems with 4MB RAM. Module configuration should work now. Non-US keyboards can be configured. 8.3 file names and date encoded in the directory name. Various small bugs in the floppies and base system repaired. I'm sure I've made at least one stupid mistake - there was a lot of time pressure. Please test these floppies. Thanks Bruce Perens
Re: Root login is waiting
It should be possible for sysklogd to check if a write is going to block by setting O_NONBLOCK on the file descriptor. If the write fails with EAGAIN, the pipe is full. It's easy enough to tell if something is a pipe or named pipe using fstat(). Bruce

Re: which..
I would just like to add, as which is originally from tcsh (IMHO), why not use tcsh to run which and we'll have the same behaviour in bash as in tcsh. *Actually*, which comes from the BSD shell script /usr/ucb/which. Using it as a usage example would probably be poor, since it did things like set prompt=; source $HOME/.cshrc and other gross kludges. The tcsh builtin is simply doing it right; the common bash 'alias which=type' is usually close enough. Given that the script is for invocation by programs, not users, it doesn't *need* to locate builtins...
Re: where is dftp 1.5?
I remember seeing a *long* time ago that dftp 1.5 had been uploaded to the Debian FTP site. Yet, I still only see 1.4. What happened to 1.5? I was just wondering the same thing myself. It seems to have been put on HOLD for some reason. Could the archive maintainer please move this into: /debian/contrib/tools/dftp-1.5 Thanks!

Compiling the kernel..
Hi all! I'm familiar with retrieving and compiling new versions of the Linux kernel under Slackware. With my switch over to Debian though I was wondering if there are different things I should keep in mind when compiling new kernel versions. I noticed that for Debian 1.1 a kernel release under devel/source??.deb is available. This appears to contain the standard kernel release source tree but has a number of additional things (such as a nifty Tcl/Tk GUI for kernel configurations). What is the procedure I should take to compile a kernel under debian and to take into account loadable modules, etc.? Also, if I want to get newer kernel releases is there a way to integrate it in with the additional Debian changes for /usr/src/linux? Cheers!

Re: kernel headers
Manoj Srivastava said: [reasoning for putting kernel headers in with libc packages] Your reasoning is understandable, however, we will just have to agree to disagree on this issue. I still don't feel it is right to put kernel headers anywhere except with the kernel (or perhaps as their own package). If people want to play around with development kernels, they should be prepared for things to break. Debian should concentrate on providing a complete, stable system. If users want to break that stability, it's up to them to watch out for themselves. I'm not complaining (at least, not very hard), but that's my 2cents worth. -- Scott Barker Linux Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cuug.ab.ca:8001/~barkers/ (under construction) [ I try to reply to all e-mail within 5 days.
