Re: WEB SECURITY: fyi!!
With respect to the dreadfully OLD phf problem, I've implemented a
unique solution. Here's what I use in place of the old phf... It gives
fun replies to id, uname and passwd (as in /bin/cat%20/etc/passwd).
For example, it generates a unique passwd file each time at random.
Interesting lusernames^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Husernames too.
Here, try:

http://www.sjis.com/cgi-bin/phf?Qalias=x%0a/usr/bin/id
http://www.sjis.com/cgi-bin/phf?Qalias=x%0a/bin/uname%20-a
http://www.sjis.com/cgi-bin/phf
Here it is, I move that it be incorporated into the cgi-scripts package...
It requires perl 5.0x and CGI.pm.

Re: pcmcia support, debian 1.2, NEC versa 6030H
The error message is misleading, to say the least. The problem is most likely that between the kernel and the modules, one is compiled with CONFIG_MOD_VERSIONS set and the other is not. To fix it you could install the kernel sources, run make menuconfig, and compile the kernel and modules: make dep make clean make zImage [Test the new kernel. I copy it to my dos partition and use loadlin.exe after booting Caldera opendos.] make modules make modules_install . I have done this several times and I am 'C' illiterate. --Brian.

Re: fvwm2 menus burned
What you say about Afterstep is no longer accurate, as of 0.99pre6-1 (upstream 1.0pre6) since I have changed things so that the Debian Afterstep now has m4 support compiled in so that we can now use m4 includes for the Debian menus. This is much better than the old method of using a skeleton file since users can now include the menu file in their own .steprc files and have the advantage of automatically updated menus. As long as you are on the Cc: list, Joost... You recently released a new version of the menu package with improved menu-methods files. The example menu-methods file still uses the file system.steprc-menu. As described above, this is no longer necessary. Thus the example files in the menu package, if they should even be included any longer, should be updated to match the versions distributed with the Afterstep package and use m4. What this means to everyone else on the debian-user list is that, I would suggest that you not use the menu-methods file in the new menu package with any version of the Debian Afterstep package later than or equal to 0.99pre6-1. Instead wait for a new version of either the Afterstep package or the menu package which will take advantage of the new features in the menu package and also use m4 includes. Thanks. Neil On 22 Apr, Rick Jones wrote: If I remember correctly the /etc/menus dir is for pkgs you want skipped when update-menus is run. Maybe skipped is incorrect. It's not updated by the program but the super-user. Meaning that nothing added by dpkg will be added to the menus in this dir. Making the menu system non-operational if you put all your menus in this dir. In the instance of the Afterstep window manager there is a system.steprc-menu file (/etc/X11/afterstep/) that can be modified since update-menus uses it as a skelliton when it creates the system.steprc file with the new pkgs added to the menus automatically. Once you move the Debian menuitem to the appropriate place and make it a sub-menu instead of the main menu. /etc/menus is for menus you don't want automatically updated with new packages. You have to add them by hand if they are in this dir. I imagine that all the menus have a skelliton file like Afterstep's so the updates are done automatically as the program was created to do.

Aaaa! And you are using this with linux? Are you sure it is opening

Well, I *think* so. How can I tell? I use setserial with spd_cust
and a divisor of 1 with the card jumpered to a base of 3.6864 Mhz;
this is supposed to produce 230.4K. Before doing that, using spd_vhi
giving 115000 bps I tell the Bitsurf the speed is now 230400. I then
switch speeds and the bitsrfr responds. It no longer talks to me if I
talk to it at 115000. In fact, it often resets when I do.
Hmmm, this doesn't sound right. Sorry but this is getting beyond my
knowledge. I've never even used spd optionsmy file looks like this:
STD_FLAGS=session_lockout ^fourport
SETSERIAL=/bin/setserial
echo -n Configuring serial ports
${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550A port 0x3F8 irq 4 ${STD_FLAGS}
${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS1 uart 16550A port 0x2F8 irq 3 ${STD_FLAGS}
${SETSERIAL} -bg /dev/ttyS*
In ppp.options_out I just set a rate of 115200 and everything seems to work
fine with my modem. I assumed all you would have to do is change the rate in
this file to 230400.
Anybody know whats going on here?
I'm certainly interested because I intend to be getting a byte runner 16650
card and ISDN TA in a about a week.
I didn't think that the speed parameter actually did anything in pppd.
A quick look at the code shows that it seems to actually set the speed.
I tried changing it to 23. It didn't produce any error (nor log),
but the ip-up script was now called with $3 (the speed) of 0, prevoiusly
it was 38400. Actually, it's not that simple. I'm using diald, so
the speed is specified as a diald option not a pppd option.
The documentation from Byte Runner is a bit skimpy on details (but at
least they did have a Linux directory on their disk, containing a
recent version of setserial).
This is what I found from experimenting, in case it helps. If anyone
knows anything different, plesae let me know. Assuming you have the
card jumped to the middle base frequency (3.6874 MHz), then:
- if you DON'T set the baud_base parameter on setserial
- setting the speed with stty of N gives you 2*N, e.g. an
stty 9600 /dev/ttyS2 gives a speed of 19200.
- if you DO set baud_base to 230400 with setsetserial, then
what you set with stty is what you get.
So one method of getting the card to be 230400 is to leave baud_base
at its default of 115200, do a setserail spd_vhi and use 38400 as the
speed.
However, if you want any other speed you have to remember to half the
value!
Alternatively, if you set baud_base to 230400 then speed up to 38400
are ok as is, spd_vhi give you 115200. To get 230400, you have to
(I think!) use spd_cust and set the divisor to 1.
It seemed to me that if you want to go lower and use something other
than spd_cust you must also set divisor to 0. It seems that if the
divisor is non zero this overrides everything else.

2.1.35 works [was: kernel 2.1.3x?]
On Tue, 22 Apr 1997 21:16:19 -0500 (CDT), Douglas Bates [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Douglas I just compiled a fresh 2.1.35 kernel for my home machine (IDE-based). Douglas When I try to boot this kernel, either from the IDE disk or from a Douglas floppy disk, I get the messages about uncompressing the kernel, then Douglas now booting the kernel, then nothing. Well, actually not nothing. Douglas There is a whole lot of disk activity on the IDE disk at this point, Douglas even when booting off the floppy. When I eventually halt this and Douglas reboot an old kernel, it has to fsck my disk partitions because they Douglas look dirty. I ran into the same problem myself, but luckily I also ran into the answer in comp.os.linux.development.system: in the newest kernels, virtual tty support is optional, and is not on by default (don't ask me why). The system boots ok, but it doesn't have a console :-) Use 'make oldconfig' when you're configuring the kernel, or do the normal config routine and remember to turn virtual console support on. 2.1.35 works ok for me over here -- I don't use modules, though, so can't comment on that. BTW, if anyone can tell me what my /etc/init.d/network should look like with the new kernel, I'd be grateful. Things seem to work ok, but /sbin/ifconfig and /sbin/route are giving me warnings at boot time. Well, life on the bleeding edge is always interesting :-) //Petri -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Re: Ethernet performance.

Last night I ran a test as described in one of the ethernet FAQs by running FTP on a file that was ~2.5Meg the rate came out at 1.09M/sec. From what I can tell this is quite good for 10 Base2 since this indicates a rate around 8Mbit/sec of data not including overhead. With no tuning at all it is supprising to get proformance on this order or am I faking my self out? The numbers above do not look right: The theoretical throughput on 10base2 is about 1.183 Mbytes/sec. This number assumes some rather ideal conditions: one ACK for 22 large 1460 byte segments, no collisions, the minimun inter-packet gap of 9.6 ms, 64k windows, and no delays for either sender or receiver transitions (that is no TCP/IP delays). throughput = (22*1460bytes)/(22*1538+84bytes) * (10,000 bits/sec)/(8bits/sec) = = 1,183,667 bytes/sec -- Ioannis Tambouras [EMAIL PROTECTED], West Palm Beach, Florida Signed pgp-key on key server. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Please let me know if there is any way I can use both of the controllers or I can use all of the devices (Wide SCSI H/Ds, SCSI CD-ROM, SCSI Jaz) on the AHA2940UW. Thank you very much.

If this is a postscript only printer, are you sending it a postscript file or just characters to /dev/lp0? The fact that it says processing suggests that it is receiving your data, but it can't understand what you're sending it.

I do not use plip, I read the Printing-Howto and fiddled around with tunelp, it keeps saying things like: # bash# tunelp /dev/lp1 # /dev/lp1 using polling # bash# tunelp /dev/lp1 -s # /dev/lp1 status is 223, on-line # bash# tunelp /dev/lp1 -i 7 # /dev/lp1 using IRQ 7 # bash# tunelp /dev/lp1 -s # /dev/lp1 status is 223, on-line with no positive effect on printing. I tried, if a kernel-version-upgrade would help, but nope: No printing with 2.0.27 nor 2.0.29. lp-support is a module in the kernel, kerneld starts it at boot time. # bash# dmesg | grep lp # lp1 at 0x0378, (polling) Can someone help me? Are there any tools to debug my problem further than with tunelp? Like a kind of 'ping' for lp-devices?

Re: lp-device trouble
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have a serious problem with my printer: it does not print. If I try to print anything (via cat as root, or with lpr), the device seems to receive data, because its display says so (PROCESSING...WAITING... and then READY). But it still does not print. This is most likely a printer configuration problem. Specifically it's probably a line-termination character problem. If I send my printer a raw text file using cat or whatever, it'll hang because (I'm fairly certain) it's looking for the DOS carriage-return line-feed sequence to end a line. If I send it a postscript file, it's fine. There's a control sequence that I can send the printer to fix the default, but I haven't bothered since I always send it postscript, using enscript on raw text files (saves trees too)...

Re: 16650
Hi there
if my memory still serves me, 16650 was issued with
bug in FIFO handling, so you can easily loose
bytes. After some time bug was fixed and now
good 16650 are in production. Unfortunately, there is
no way to find out chip info, i.e. there is no
difference between good 16650 and buggy one.
Try to ask Theodore Tso, who is maintaining
linux serial drivers.
cheers

xserver_s3v
I'm using the lastest xserver_s3v from hamm with a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 (S3 virge chipset). I can't get it to work in 16 bpp mode with a screen size of 1024x768. Supposedly, that's because the former s3v specs only allowed a maximum rate of 80MHz in 16 bpp mode. Since then, S3 relaxed the specs to allow a rate of 94.5MHz in this mode, so I wondered if a package would soon come which would allow this. If not, is there anything I can do to make it work without having to recompile the whole server ? Mat -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

LILO cylinder problem
I don't understand why lilo is doing this. I've never had this problem before. I just repartitioned my drive and put linux on hda2. When I try to run lilo to boot linux from hda2 instead of hda1 it gives me this error about my cylinders. geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (2312 1023) I am aware that, for whatever reason, lilo won't look beyond cylinder 1023, the 540MB line that M$ drew out of ignorance years ago. (It might not have been Bill but I like blaming shit on him anyway.) Anyway. The point is that I took this into account and started hda2 at cylinder 817. I gave hda1 405MB, hda2 792MB, and hda3 is a 20MB rescue partition. So why in the hell does lilo report cylinder 2312 which I'm fairly sure is in hda3 when I'm setting up hda2 which starts at 817? I have used this same partition setup before without any trouble. Anyone have a clue? When is lilo going to recognise hard drives larger than 540MB? This is an ignorant limitation. Now that BIOS can read them when is lilo going to be updated? --Rick [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Do not fall for this Webwatch bizarre line in geek thinking. Internet Even Personal Computer World, after making lets it so easy to enter the twilight zoneshoppers without a return ticket, saw fit to enter a browse at few caveats in the fine print. Linux, it leisure said, came with a serious health warning. Don't even think about it, the magazine Health: said, unless you are technically proficient Video and have backed up all your PC files equipped beforehand. ambulance puts Yes, but we know what the average PC user is casualty like. He never reads the words, he just doctors in slings in the CD-Rom, clicks on the install the picture icon, and hopes for the best. And if you are now looking at a blank screen with a few [Contact Us] impenetrable commands where you once had a working PC, then all I can say is: You have only yourself to blame. Linux, for the uninitiated, is a version of that old computer donkey known as Unix. If you need to run big computer Unix tasks then it is, I am told, not a bad solution at all. Equally, if you believe there is no point in doing easily something you can achieve the long way round, it is doubtless the way to go. Imagine a tougher version of MS-Dos where the commands are even harder to memorise and less forgiving of errors and you are starting to get there. And if you want to cheat a little, you can put on a pseudo-graphical front end and bingo you might just manage to turn a modern Windows NT-capable PC into a passable imitation of Windows 3.1 circa 1992. However, to read some publications, you might think that Microsoft's Bill Gates is quivering in his boots at the idea that Linux will do what IBM and Apple never managed to achieve kick Windows off the everyday desktop. Really? Well, no. Linux is flavour of the month with the geek community for two reasons it's free, and it's not from Microsoft. For a certain breed of bug-eyed computer user, that really is all you need. Trivial details such as usability, the lack of decent everyday software, and the plain fact that, when things go wrong, you are on your own are not setbacks to Linux addicts. These are the very reasons why they like the wretched thing because it sets them apart from the mainstream of tedious, ordinary users who just use PCs to get on with the job. Personal computers seem to have attracted some strange and obsessive people along the way to becoming common or garden information tools. If Linux hadn't been invented by a Finnish student a few years back, something equally strange and esoteric would have appeared to take its place. Computer geeks despise simple, common standards. Gates is the object of their hate simply because he won the operating-system war. If Apple or IBM had come out on top, the people now buzzing so excitedly around Linux would have treated them to the hate mail they reserve for Gates today. Fads like Linux are diversionary characters in a digital freak show on the sidelines of modern information technology. Finding them on the cover disks of mainstream magazines says more about the novelty value of computer journalism than the real issues facing those trying to make tomorrow's PCs a sight

lp-device trouble again
Thank you all for trying to answer my question. I think I have forgotten to say, that I am indeed cat-ing a postsript-file (not raw text or anything else, but I admit that I tried...) to the printer, but it does not work. Under DOS the command copy junk.ps lpt1 prints every postscript-file without hassle. So it's seems not to be a hardware problem. If it's a line-termination character problem, how can solve it? I wrote: I have a serious problem with my printer: it does not print. If I try to print anything (via cat as root, or with lpr), the device seems to receive data, because its display says so (PROCESSING...WAITING... and then READY). But it still does not print. My Debian is 1.2 of the InfoMagic Dev.Resource-CD. I'm using apsfilter_4.9.1-10 (well, in fact I'm _not_using_ it so far). My printer is a NEC Silentwriter S60P-Printer.

Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 14:49:04 -0500 From: Lauralyn Gorham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Ted. I'm going to be installing the 2.0.01 Debian Linux here shortly, in hope to find autoconfig.h file. Our UK office has a customer that seems to be missing it, and it causes the driver install to fail? do you know what it's use if for and where to get it? It's from the kernel include files, and it indicates that the compilation environment isn't set up properly. I don't know enough about the debian distribution to know whether or not all of the include files (including the kernel include files) are present as part of the default compilation environment or not. Depending how the Debian has set things up, the user might have to get a copy of the kernel sources and build a kernel before they can build the Rocketport driver. (This isn't necessary for Redhat, since their kernel include package --- which is mandatory if you install the C compiler --- has a fully configured set of kernel include files that match the kernel which they install.) I've cc'ed this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], in hopes that someone there can help shed light on this issue. Thanks!! - Ted 2) Linux with Kernal release 2.0.21 Their customer has a problem installing the driver. ( He downloaded the latest release from FTP site). The problem occurs during the recompile stage of the installation (step number 3 in our install guide) The installation fails with a autoconfig.h not found message. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Dial up PPP
OK here's an update on this one. Hopfully not to many are thinking about the last one. I got the modem to anser and conect with PPP. I had to inter the IP in win95 before it would work. I then proseded to telnet the the debian box. I loged in and had a victory dance. However I soon discovered that I cannot conect to anything but the linux box itself. The Box has an ethernet conection to the internet and I can't conect to it through the box. Is theire something simple I have missed. Do I need to install some kind of routing package? Do I need to modfyf something in my dialup networking. Thanks again to all who helped. Thanks ( On Wed, 23 Apr 1997, LinuxBOX wrote: OK that fixed the error message.

Re: xserver_s3v
Mathieu Guillaume wrote: Since then, S3 relaxed the specs to allow a rate of 94.5MHz in this mode, so I wondered if a package would soon come which would allow this. If not, I read from comp.windows.x.i386unix a few days ago that new XFree86 beta versions allow it. So either wait for the beta versions to become official (and then Debian packages), or use the betas (it is probably enough to get the beta server and just replace the X server binary) (see http://www.xfree86.org/). (The XFree86 folks don't give out source for the beta versions, which may be the reason why there aren't Debian packages available for them (as far as I understand, such packages should go into contrib or non-free).) -- -=- Rjs -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Rocket Port ISA card and LINUX
Hi,
Could you please ask the customer what versions of
libc{5,6}-dev, and kernel-{source,header,image}-X.X.XX packages are
installed on their system?
I have kernel-source-2.0.30 on ,y machine, and I could not
find any autoconfig.h on my system either (I have performed a make
config as well), and I am curious where the reference comes from. As
you can see below, there seems to be no reference to autoconfig.h
anywhere in the kernel sources or the files in /usr/include.

Re: Rocket Port ISA card and LINUX
Hello, Thank you for responding so quickly.
It is a customer of a coworker of mine from the UK. I'm in the US, so I
don't know when I can get an answer to which version of libc he has. I do
know he has the kernal revision 2.0.21. To be honest, I don't know if the
customer has Debian, but I do. I was hoping by installing Debian 2.0.3,
that I could duplicate his problem or at least investigate it a little. But
I'm beginning to realize even more how different the distributions are.

I the file that he was looking for was probably autoconf.h --- it's
required by files such as /usr/include/linux/config.h. autoconf.h is
generated by the kernel as part of the make config process.

It's not so much that the distributions are different (everyone puts the include files in /usr/include and the kernel files in /usr/src/linux). The trouble comes when users don't install all of the packages, for what they might consider to be good and proper reasons (why do they need kernel sources, etc.). At this point, it's a question of what the right packages are to install, and there the various distributions seriously part company. The good news is that this is basically an install issue, and once we get through these install issues will hopefully be the end of most of the users' problems. - Ted -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
