False alarm on mount command
Turns out it just pays to scan the docs more closely. The problem I encountered was due to the user option implying noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by later options). I had placed all of my options in alphabetic order, i.e. dev,exec,user so user overided exec and dev. To reiterate, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MOUNT COMMAND. Also, please don't RTFM. -- Harmon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Driver compiled under kernel 2.0.29 says it was compiled under 2.0.28
Hi. I have this alpha-release driver for a PCI ethernet card that I compiled under kernel 2.0.29 (my current kernel). However, when I try to install it in the kernel with insmod, insmod reports that the driver was compiled under kernel 2.0.28 and that it won't install it (at least not without a -f option).

Dos/Win/NT want the first partition of the first drive to be their boot file system. So decide what you want for DOS and build the partition (from a DOS rescue disk that has fdisk) with fdisk (msdos version) before you do any linux work. Well, my /dev/hda1 has an ext2 root partition on it _and_ is marked bootable. Windows95 is on /dev/hda2 and has no problems with that, contrary to popular belief and many manuals. If you have a floppy to boot linux from in any case, the worst that can happen is that you can't boot your freshly installed windows95. That's bad, because it takes a lot longer to install and setup than debian linux. If you're a bit paranoid about your existing setup you can always make a couple of backups of the first 512 bytes of all primary, extended and logical partitions and the master boot record before you let the microsoftware touch your system. That's what I actually did, but I don't think it is necessary at all. Adding an entry for windows in lilo.conf and rerunning lilo is enough.

Re: A problem
Hi Feng, though I am no real network specialist this looks pretty much like a routing problem to me. If I understand you correctly your win95 clients see other members of there own subnet but no machine in the other subnet with which you are connected via the gateway. I think you should check the default route in your windows configuration. It should point to your gateway. This will make your windows clients send every package that doesn't belong to your local subnet be sent to the gateway and thus transmitted to the other subnet. Sorry that I can't be more precise about the win95 configuration but I just don't remember more without having a look at the configuration menus which I can't at the moment. Hope this helps anyway.

Hello to all I am a Linux newbie trying to figure out how to install packages for my system, i downloaded the debian linux by ftp on 7 disks the rescue floppy, the custom boot one, the base ones and the drivers one, then during the installation process i didn't use dselect i just continued, now my question is, do i have anything in those disks that i can add to my computer? or those disks just contained the files that linux installed? and another question, in the case that i need to download packages via ftp, i need to know how do i do that? i use windows 95 to connect to the internet and that's how i download the files, but i can't download them to my linux parition they are downloaded to the msdos one, how can i port these files to linux? or how can i tell dselect to retrieve the files from there?

partition busy during shutdown
I recently moved my Debian to a larger hard drive. I reorganized the partition allocation from a splintered arrangement to a 2 partition arrangement: /dev/hda4 - /var /dev/hda3 - / (and all other stuff) Up until this change, 'shutdown' worked ok. Recently, I've been getting a message: .. mount: /dev/hda4 is busy when partitions are being dis-mounted.

changing file perms. in single user mode
Hello Debian users, I guess this is a dumb question but I just can't see the answer: Yesterday a added another hard disk to our production server that is proudly running Debian 1.2. I wanted to have /tmp and /var/tmp mounted in a second disk so I created my ext2 filesystems and mounted them under /var/tmp and /tmp after editing /etc/fstab. I was in maintenance mode (single user mode), mode that I entered with shutdown now. After the new filesystems were mounted I wanted to set the permissions of /tmp /var/tmp to be the same as the old directories in the / and /var directories respectively so I did a: chmod a+w,o+t /tmp chmod a+w,o+t /var/tmp Well, after I did a ls -ld /tmp and ls -ld /var/tmp the new permissions showed up just fine. However, after I rebooted the server to go into production again, permissions of /tmp /var/tmp were as before. I set permissions again now in multiple user mode and everything is fine now. This is not the first time this happens to me. A couple of weeks ago I re-partitioned my first disk and had the same problems. I had to set permissions while in multiple user mode to have things working properly. What's going on here? Is there anything I don't know about working in single user mode? Thanks in advance.

Help with IP masquerading
Hello all, I have an interesting problem. I have a small LAN based on ethernet with a Linux box with a ppp connection to the internet acting as a gateway for two Macintosh computers: --- | Linux ||---Powermac with OpenTransport | || 192.168.1.2 ppp | | eth0 | ---| 192.168.1.1 || | || | ||---68K mac with MacTCP --- 192.168.1.3 The linux box runs pppd/diald. This setup has worked flawlessly for a year with a Slackware installation (kernel 1.2.13). I am now upgrading to Debian 1.2 (kernel 2.0.27) and have run into frustrating problems. After some hair pulling I have pppd/diald working on the new system. I have compiled in kernel support for ip masquerade and set up the forwarding with ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 Now the problem: **I can not do domain name resolution with my new setup** The ip masquerading seems to work with most network traffic. Packets sent by IP number are forwarded appropriately. I can telnet and use my web browser on my macs if I use IP numbers. DNS resolution works great on the linux box, and I have triple checked the nameserver addresses on the macs. When I do a name lookup on the mac I can see the modem SD light periodicly lighting up, so I assume that DNS queries are being sent, but now replys. I can do a name lookup on the linux system without difficulty. The nameservers on both machines are configured identically. The kicker: booting with my old slackware setup fixes this problem, without changing anything on the macs. I have searched the FAQ's without avail, any pointers to info or ideas to try would be much appreciated.

How to see the group and aliases file on the NIS server
Hello, I installed NIS on a Debian server and I'm trying to set up another Debian as a NIS client (latest Debian versions from the unstable tree). In the latter, I added the line +::: to the /etc/group file and the line + to /etc/aliases. Then, I started the ypbind daemon. In the client machine, if I give the command ypcat group I can see the groups defined in the server. However, the system utilities can't see those groups. By this I mean, an ls -l just reports the GID of the files as numbers, not names, the chgrp command doesn't recognize the NIS server's groups, etc. Also, smail doesn't see the aliases file even though the ypcat aliases command shows the right content. The password file however seems to be recognized. I can login on the client machine using the users defined in the master. If you have an idea of what I may be missing please drop me a note.

Re: 'w' works, 'who' does not...
Here's the situation: My debian system is running as an NIS client from a master which happens to be an SGI. I can log into my debian linux system, so it sees my user name from the passwd map. I can do a ypcat passwd.byname ypcat passwd.byuid ypcat group.byname ypcat group.bygid and see all the correct entries. I can 'cd ~username' and also 'finger username' so somehow it's getting that information correctly. After the cd, my working directory is my home directory on a NFS mounted disk. However, if I do an 'ls -l' on a file, it reports the numeric uid and gid instead of the names from the passwd and group databases. I'm running kernel version 2.0.30 netbase 2.13-1 netstd 2.13-1 nis2.20-1 Another oddity is that if I do: ypwhich -m to get the names of all the maps, it gives me a long litany of YP: can't find the master of (null): Reason: Request arguments bad error messages, but if I do ypwhich -m passwd it reports the correct yp master.

(assuming all other partions are unmonuted properly). I've been having trouble with hardware errors on one disk drive causing a filesystem panic that appears to force the filesystem into read-only mode but the processes accessing it are blocked and won't die from signals. I would like to be able to force a reboot remotely when this happens but even 'reboot -f' hangs. Is there some other way besides punching the reset button to make the machine restart?

login installation weirdness?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Sorry about the subject line, but I don't know how to briefly describe this problem. Anyway, I have just finished installing 1.2 and everything went perfectly except that on the first virtual terminal (ALT-F1) when any user exits, /etc/issue is not read and the first prompt offered is for root's password. If I just hit enter, a complaint about an invalid root password appears and then the login prompt appears, again without parsing /etc/issue. This does not happen on any other VT. I then upgraded to 1.3 (frozen) and the same thing still happens and only happens to VT 1. I really don't know what other information I could offer to help solve this - - any ideas?

When I wanted to get PPP up, I edited /etc/resolv.conf (with the ISP's DNS server and /etc/ppp.chatscript (with the ISP's phone number) and amazingly it worked. It took something like 2 minutes to be up and running. Things can (and do) change. With the number of people using Linux and Debian for PPP connections, it was inevitable...

A desperate Linux newbie Make sure that all the internet protocols are either in your kernel or added as modules during the initial install. (PPP and TCP/IP modules) You just have to set up linux to connect to the internet. Then you run dselect using ftp access and it will download and install the packages for you. The 7 disk set is just the bare minimum Debian system. It gives you a starting point. The rest of the distribution is yet to be installed. Get the info from your Windows connection and write it down. DNS, Your IP if static, mailhost, news host, and number. Boot linux and login as root. cd /etc, edit ppp.chatscript, change the number username and password info. Insure that the expected login string is what your ISP uses (ogin or name - login or username) only use the last part to cover dropped characters. Edit ppp.options_out. If you have a dynamic IP (changes each login) make sure that this file contains defaultroute. Set /dev/ttyS1 (for com2) or whatever com port your modem is on (/dev/ttyS2=com3 etc). If there is an entry that says /dev/modem that should be replaced by the above /dev/ttyS# whichever port you are using. This is not to say that you need 2 port entries, only one, if the /dev/modem is there replace it if not just add the /dev/ttyS# replacing # with the port number. Keep in mind that if you fail to connect you can add debug to this file to see what is happening. Once you have the scripts setup for your ISP type pon and it should connect to your ISP. Then type dselect go to the access/ftp option and put in the following at the prompted input fields: ftp to ftp.debian.org user anonymous password [EMAIL PROTECTED] directory debian packages stable non-free contrib directory debian Then go to update. It will get the package lists for stable non-free and contrib. When prompted say yes to clear the list. Then go to install. Just hit return to accept the packages already marked for install. It's a good idea not to even think about changing this list on initial install, you make changes later. Then turn off your monitor and go rent a few movies. Watch a couple of movies then go to bed. Go to work the next day. When you get home it might be done if you have a 33.6 connection. Once done answer yes to install. Packages are installed, just answer yes to defaults for now unless you KNOW differently. You'll get a bunch of error about dependancies and such and install will barf on your shoes. Go back to the main menu and do install again. It won't ftp any more packages but will continue the install and barf on you again. Do this a few more times and it will finally finish. Reboot. Login as root, cd /usr/doc/HOWTO, type lynx . and start reading the HOWTO's to configure your new system. Good luck, we're here if you get stuck.

*-* How to make dselect use local mirror for testing frozen?
Hi, On my home lan I have a couple of machines that I am currently using to test the new frozen distribution on. Because I don't want to have to download all the packages that I want to test each time I try a new machine or method, I have made a little mirror of part of the distribution. It has some frozen/binary, contrib, non-free and non-US packages. I made a tree structure like on ftp.debian.org and put in some symlinks and the Packages files. Dselect does most things I expected; when I point it at /debian, it finds the all packages files and I can choose from frozen, contrib, non-free and non-US (which I linked local.) But at the point where it should install the selected packages, dselect only iterates through stable/binary and never installs anything from contrib or non-free. I know it should do that, because it does so on my 1.1.4 cd (never tried it live over the internet.) Can anyone give me some clue please? Thanks.
