Re: help with perl
Thanks for the help...it explains why the syntax was (as far as I could
tell) OK yet it still didn't work properly. I should have diffed the
output of my test script rather than relying on a visual grep late at
night :-).

The problem is that makemap downcases the keys by default so

the map to disable this behavior.
The Answer! Thanks!
Since you're always scanning the db linearly, though, using a DB map
isn't buying you anything. I'd just read the patterns from the text
file directly.
I'm using the hashed db for speed and convenience.
One advantage of the db file is that comments are stripped out by makemap
which means i can have as many comments as i like in the source text but
it wont slow down the script at allquite important when on some of my
squid boxes this script has to do 5+ lookups per hour.
Also, unless the tie function (or similar) can work with text files as
well as db files, there will also be the overhead of opening closing the
file for every URL, plus the overhead of parsing each line into it's two
fields...
e.g. with one hundred entries in the file on a moderately busy machine
like the one above, that would be 50,000 open close operations per hour
plus up to 5,000,000 line parsing operations (most URLs scanned WON'T
match any of the patterns so the loop will have to run to completion. very
rough calculations(*) from my squid log files indicate that around 10% of
URLs are banner advertisements) per hour.
I could just read the text file into an array but that would mean i was
back where i started - having to restart squid when i make a change to the
database. alternatively i could modify the script to respond to SIGHUP by
re-reading the text file.
(*) 'wc -l access.log' vs 'grep blank_ad.gif access.log | wc -l'
about 10% of the entries in the access.log over the last month were
advertising banners redirected to blank_ad.gif by my script. this
is on my lightly-used squid box at home where i do most of my web
browsing in non-commerical linux 'weirdness' related areas. I
don't block advertising on my big squid at work, but I would guess
that the proportion would be much higher. To tell the truth, I
didn't mind banner ads until they started using FLASHING animated
gifs - whoever invented gif animations should be drawn and quartered
very slowly over a hot fire.
Gratuitous unsolicited style tip #1: Don't put semicolons after a
closing brace except for do and eval blocks, and sub ref constructors.
a bad habit, i know. it's easier to just put them in after every } rather
than have to remember the exceptions where they're required.
Gratuitous unsolicited style tip #2: This code would more idiomatically
be
print $url== if $debug;
while (($key, $record) = each %redir_db) {
if ($url =~ s/$key/$record/) {
print $url;
last;
}
}
print \n;
yes, that's much better. thanks. i knew there was a way of dropping out
of the loop quickly without using an ugly $found variable but couldn't
remember what it was.

root user and nfs mounts
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Currently I mount my home directory from a departmental AIX machine using the following exports on the AIX machine: /home3/telmerco -access=sargan:terrapin and the following fstab on my debian hamm machine: qed:/home3/telmerco /home/telmerco/qed nfs defaults 0 0 Given this setup, as root I cannot cd into /home/telmerco/qed. However, when I run tob (tape backup program) every night (from a root crontab), I would like to back up my files from this nfs mount along with the local files. Currently, I have user telmerco run a crontab job just before the tob job which makes a tar file of all my files in the nfs mount and stores it in /home/telmerco so the root tob job can back them up. This leaves a large tgz file lying around, and altough I could just put a command to erase it after the tob job is done, I would prefer to do it a much cleaner way by allowing root to traverse the nfs mount (as long it is safe and the are no heavy security concerns on the AIX sysadmin's part). I dug through the man pages for nfs(5) and mount(8) and it seems like I could use something that maps root uid 0 to an anon uid that I specify, for example, 208 (telmerco's uid). Is this possible? Is it safe? And finally, is there a better way to do it? Cheers, Colin. - -- Colin R.

printing to a NeWSprint 2.5 spool from emacs

We set it up and it worked mostly. However there was an obvious bug in the code. It didn't seem to refresh properly off the files sometimes and you would get traffic to an IP address being logged to the incorrect users. In the end we gave up.

Re: Kernel freeze during install
I removed both the ethernet card and the soundcard, and it still freezes at the same point. Any more suggestions? Brian. I am trying to install Debian-1.2.10 and the kernel freezes during bootup at the following point: [my BusLogic KT445C host adaptor is detected successfully as scsi0] Ux4F0: address 0x330 in use, skipping probe.

I have made two boot disks on brand new floppies and get the same behaviour. Here is a summary of my hardware: * BioStar VLB motherboard, 486DX2/66, 16MB RAM * BusLogic KT445C VLB SCSI card (io=0x330, irq=11, dma=7); Ricoh CD-R drive * ET4000 VLB video * Promise VLB EIDE controller, Fujitsu 2.5GB IDE drive, fd0 is 1.44MB * Soundblaster-16 (io=0x220, irq=7, dma=1/5) with sbpcd CD-ROM (io=0x230) * 3com 3C509 (io=0x300, irq=10) I have encountered this problem a number of times with 486 motherboards. The problem for me has been the ethernet card. If I pulled it out the boot continued properly. In my case, I needed to have the ehternet card in order to complete the NFS install so I had to workaround by compiling a kernel with the ethernet drivers included rather than loaded as modules. Then, I had to play around with the ethernet card I/O address in some cases. Anyway, since you have a CDROM version, I would suggest that you remove the ethernet and sound cards and see if the installation can be done. Then you can build some custom kernels and try reinstalling the cards to see if the hangups are avoided. One other point that comes to mind looking at your list above. Most Soundblasters use 2 interrupts for the sound and perhaps another for the CDROM. You list only one and the others might be sitting at 10 and preventing you from getting past the boot sequence. Try removing the sound card first. Hope this helps, Carlo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: core when running C++ programs..
Hello all!
I'm having a weird problem compiling anything with the C++ libraries.
When I try to run the program, I always get the message:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Just to give an example, for instance if I compile the following
program I get this core dump:
main.cc:
int main()
{
return 0;
}
Now, clearly, this as simple as you can get.
Yes, I don't think you can get it much simpler than that!
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce your problems.
Could you tell me:
- are you using lib6 or lib5 (if you've got a unstable system, I'd assume
lib6).
- then, you are telling me you're using libg++27 and libg++27-dev.
that's not possible, they're for libc5. Could you try installing
libg++272* in that case?
- the output of ldd main (for a main that segfaults).
I would just like to point out that this is a new install of
Debian 1.3 using the unstable stream (which I don't have problems
with on another machine right now) which was downloaded yesterday
from ftp.debian.org. I have tried re-downloading libg++27-dev
and libg++27 and reinstalling it but this didn't fix anything.

In my /usr/lib/gcc-lib directory, the only directory entry is for
i486-linux. My machine is a 386. Do I have to get the GCC sources and
recompile, or will these libs work on my machine?
They'll work just fine.
You may want to upgrade your machine though!

Re: root user and nfs mounts
-- Start of PGP signed section.
Currently I mount my home directory from a departmental AIX machine using
the following exports on the AIX machine:
/home3/telmerco -access=sargan:terrapin
and the following fstab on my debian hamm machine:
qed:/home3/telmerco /home/telmerco/qed nfs defaults 0 0
Given this setup, as root I cannot cd into /home/telmerco/qed.
[why root would like to cd anyway deleted]
I dug through
the man pages for nfs(5) and mount(8) and it seems like I could use
something that maps root uid 0 to an anon uid that I specify, for example,
208 (telmerco's uid). Is this possible?
Well, it isn't what you want. The mapping of uid 0 happens on the server
(the AIX in your case), and, as root cannot cd to your home dir, they've
already got that setup correctly [1]. What happens is that when root
cd's to your nfs mounted home dir, root gets maped to uid nobody, and
nobody tries to cd into that dir.
The only way I see you can allow root (thus nobody, unless you can
convince the AIX people to throw away all security on their
system) to cd into your home dir, is by chmod-ing your home dir to
something like 777. But then _everybody_ can do that -- probably not
what you want.
I'm not sure how tob works, but if it works anything like dd of=/dev/tape,
you could try something like
(su telmerco -c tar -cvzf - /home3/telmerco) | dd of=/dev/tape
Is it safe?
As long as the AIX people do their job properly, you cannot do anything
unsafe. And you cannot do what you want, I think.
And finally, is there
a better way to do it? Cheers, Colin.
Depends on tob. (see above).
[1] had they not done that, you'd be root very quickly on that system,
probably.

Multiple subnets on a single ethernet. Related to routes.
I have been doing a bit of planning related to subnetting a class C for our ehternet. One of the problems that I ran into was that if I used RIP the entire network had to be on the same subnetmask, since RIP doesn't deal with subnet masks. This was a real pain since I have a couple of machines that will need to have alliased addresses (WWW and FTP servers) and they will each use up a large portion of a subnet each if masked as 255.255.255.240. What complications occur if a particular machine has a single IP address and needs to communicate with a machine on a different subnet even though they share a single ethernet. I have done this before by manually adding the routes to the routing table but the connections seam extremely slow in establishment. Once the connection is made everything seams to be ok but the broadcast addresses are obviously out of different blocks which may be causing problems. Theoretically it shouldn't be a problem but practice can be a different thing all together. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Motif, HP JetDirect?
Hi! Does anyone know, what would be best (commercial) Motif for use with Debian? Is there any Motifs available as .deb-file? I had opportunity to use both Xi Graphics and Metrolink Motifs. I tried Xi Graphics' version first and it seemed to have some bugs. After I tried Metrolink's one I found out that waht I considered to be a bug is a feature of Motif2.0. Anyways, metrolink motif seems to be more reliable product for development but Xi Graphics has more evolved runtime (mwm) configuration. Xi Graphics comes in Slackware's .tgz format - so you could use alien(5.3!) to convert it to .deb. This is not extremely good, since there would be no postrm (or prerm) scripts purging 2 extra lines in site.def file (added during installation). Metrolink comes in both rpm and plain .tar.gz archives (with installation script). This means that you could again use alien to convert rpm to deb. Hope this was of any help to you. Alex Y.

Re: Motif, HP JetDirect?
Also worth a look at lesstif, a Motif look-a-like under active development. Ed On Tue, 27 May 1997, Alex Yukhimets wrote: Hi! Does anyone know, what would be best (commercial) Motif for use with Debian? Is there any Motifs available as .deb-file? I had opportunity to use both Xi Graphics and Metrolink Motifs. I tried Xi Graphics' version first and it seemed to have some bugs. After I tried Metrolink's one I found out that waht I considered to be a bug is a feature of Motif2.0. Anyways, metrolink motif seems to be more reliable product for development but Xi Graphics has more evolved runtime (mwm) configuration. Xi Graphics comes in Slackware's .tgz format - so you could use alien(5.3!) to convert it to .deb. This is not extremely good, since there would be no postrm (or prerm) scripts purging 2 extra lines in site.def file (added during installation). Metrolink comes in both rpm and plain .tar.gz archives (with installation script). This means that you could again use alien to convert rpm to deb. Hope this was of any help to you. Alex Y.

Re: Multiple subnets on a single ethernet. Related to routes.
I have been doing a bit of planning related to subnetting a class C for our ehternet. One of the problems that I ran into was that if I used RIP the entire network had to be on the same subnetmask, since RIP doesn't deal with subnet masks. This was a real pain since I have a couple of machines that will need to have alliased addresses (WWW and FTP servers) and they will each use up a large portion of a subnet each if masked as 255.255.255.240. What complications occur if a particular machine has a single IP address and needs to communicate with a machine on a different subnet even though they share a single ethernet. I have done this before by manually adding the routes to the routing table but the connections seam extremely slow in establishment. Once the connection is made everything seams to be ok but the broadcast addresses are obviously out of different blocks which may be causing problems. Theoretically it shouldn't be a problem but practice can be a different thing all together. Why would you want to have multiple IP subnets on the same ethernet segment? The whole reason for subnetting is to split the same IP class across multiple segments. For routing, go with GateD and use OSPF or RIP II if you require routing. Otherwise, if possible, (i.e. you have few hosts, routers, and changes, etc.) just go with static routes. Less traffic, and easier to configure up front.

Martin Schulze: I believe there are security concerns. Via rwho protocol your machine distributes information on who is logged in. So you are able to play big brother and generate personal profiles for instance. According to the man page: Rwhod operates as both a producer and consumer of status information. As a producer of information it periodically queries the state of the system and constructs status messages which are broadcast on a network. As a consumer of information, it listens for other rwhod servers' status mes sages, validating them, then recording them in a collection of files lo cated in the directory /var/spool/rwho. Since broadcast packets shouldn't leave your local network, I don't think that anyone in the outside world can listen in on the rwho messages, so I _think_ it's safe for use if you trust all the hosts on your subnet. -- see shy jo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

As a producer of information it periodically queries the state of the system and constructs status messages which are broadcast on a network. As a consumer of information, it listens for other rwhod servers' status mes sages, validating them, then recording them in a collection of files lo cated in the directory /var/spool/rwho. Since broadcast packets shouldn't leave your local network, I don't think that anyone in the outside world can listen in on the rwho messages, so I _think_ it's safe for use if you trust all the hosts on your subnet.

Just to tell you what I mean: My local network (although it consists of 14 parts) is located in a student's home and consists of both Infodrom Oldenburg (*.infodrom.north.de) and the student's LAN. There are about 70 machines here at the moment, including a Debian development machine soon. Using rwhod I as a user of rwho and ruptime am able to see when people get up and work on their machines when they leave for sleep, shopping or whatever. At least on the Linux machines.

Re: crypt
If you really like I can find the source code for this ... but the question is, why would you want it? You'd do just as well to find a program that cracks crypted files ... it's about the same difficulty either way. The crypt (1) algorithm is based on the German WWII era Enigma cipher - except that it's not as good. It emulates an Enigma machine with one rotor. I'll point out that the chaps at Bletchley Park cracked four rotor ciphers in the 1940s using mechanical computers. If you need strong encryption, take a look at PGP, or one of the RSA offerings. Or use DES (which is also available in source code, and should be available in Solaris) PS - Many people confuse the crypt (1) command with the crypt (3) function in libc, which is used to encrypt passwords. It actually hashes them ... they cannot be decrypted. -- Nathan Norman:Hostmaster CFNI:[EMAIL PROTECTED] finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key and other stuff Key fingerprint = CE 03 10 AF 32 81 18 58 9D 32 C2 AB 93 6D C4 72 -- On Tue, 27 May 1997, Timothy Phan wrote: :Hi, : : Anyone knows where can I get the source for the 'crypt' program. : We have this program in solaris and I'd like to have it on Linux. : : Many thank in advance! : Here is the top of the man page: : :-- 8 -- :crypt(1) User Commands crypt(1) : : : :NAME : crypt - encode or decode a file : :SYNOPSIS : crypt [ password ] : :AVAILABILITY : SUNWcsu : :DESCRIPTION : crypt encrypts and decrypts the contents of a file. crypt : reads from the standard input and writes on the standard : output.

Re: Multiple subnets on a single ethernet. Related to routes.
Well we are using several Novell Netware servers and from where I'm told they would be restricted to using a single subnet mask. I'm not really that up on Netware so I can't contradict it yet. The reason for the use of multiple subnets on the same ethernet is (I believe) a solution proposed by Novell in one of their appnotes related to getting more addresses when you subnet it too much. They are heavily into the use of RIP though it can be turned off and static routes used. You didn't mention which version of Netware you're running. I'm pretty sure 3.x only supports RIP while 4.x supports RIP, RIPII, and OSPF (and others). Any time you subnet, you lose host addresses. However, you gain networks. That's the trade-off. The more networks you want, the more hosts you lose The other night I was looking to see which package gated was in and I didn't see it in the standard Debian system at all. I looked in the 1.2 contents file and routed came up in netbase or something like that but no gated. Did I miss it or did you get the source and add it your self. GateD doesn't come as a package and you won't find it distributed anywhere as a binary (that I know of) due to licensing restrictions. You _can_ freely download the source (from http://www.gated.org); however, it's pretty difficult to compile under Linux. Best place for GateD help is the GateD mailing list (info at URL above). I have heard rumours of a RedHat GateD package (RPM format). If that is available, that might be an option for you (thanks to the Debian-based RPM package maintainer now available).

Re: EMACS screen weirdness
To those who tried to help me, Curiously, rebooting (which I did for other reasons ;) appears to have fixed the problem with EMACS displaying things incorrectly (though it always appeared to know where things really were ;). At least, one of the more reproducible weirdnesses hasn't come back to haunt me, and I haven't noticed any of the other strange stuff happening, so hopefully it's gone for good. It makes me nervous, though -- I wish I knew why it'd started in the first place. Thanks, Kendall -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
