Re: nfs-booting with a null-modem cable ?
From: Rob Browning [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you're talking about the 486 booting from an nfs mounted root on your PPro machine, I think you may need an ethernet card with special boot ROMs. Not nearly so difficult, he can use a floppy drive. You can load the kernel from floppy and have it mount an NFS root. SysLinux would be best for this. On a Debian system: Put a formatted floppy in the first floppy drive. Unzip /usr/lib/syslinux/img1440.gz to the raw floppy, /dev/fd0. Mount the floppy as an MSDOS filesystem, and copy the kernel on to it. Edit SYSLINUX.CFG to add the NFS root parameters to the boot command line. See the file /usr/src/linux/Documentation/nfsroot.txt, you will have to install the kernel-source package if you have not done so. That should work fine.

But, again, unlikely. For the $40 these chips are going for it's worth trying. Cyrix and AMD make 486DX2s but they are 3 volt. This would require changing motherboard jumpers, if your motherboard supports 3v chips.

X screen saver and powerdown (trivial question)
This is a trivial matter, but I was trying to figure out a way to have the screen run xlock after a certain period of inactivity, then the xset power saver if there was a longer period of inactivity. It looks like using xautolock and xlock -nolock with the enablesaver option, I can get close to what I want, but I think with this approach xlock would still be active after the monitor shuts off. Is there some other approach I'm overlooking? It would be really nice if the built in X server's saver had a hook (notification) script it would call when it entered various states: xset timeout-script ~/.bin/somescript to which it passed the states it was leaving and entering as arguments to the script. Alternatively, it would be nice to be able to have something like x-await-wake which would block until the x saver wakes up iff it's asleep.

keymapping, consolefont and mc
Hi, I've got a problem regarding the localized keyboard mapping (german) and an appropriate console font. After I installed bash-2.0 and kbd-0.94 I couldn't access certain chars, so I needed to replace default.map by de-latin1.map or de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map. Then I used 'setfont iso01.f14' to load the font, which has the umlauts that I need. Unfortunately, this didn't work with 'mc'. All graphic chars were replaced by some other (unneeded) chars, so the output of mc is really messed up. Is there a possibility to get the correct localized keyboard mapping and the graphic chars for mc? It should be possible, because in DOS the famous (?) nc works without problems. Maybe I need to recompile a patched mc? One other question: Where should I place 'setfont' in the startup files? I didn't find a pointer or placeholder.

It is possible to make the ramdisk bigger so that a full libc can be used, and a lot of stuff that is needed for installation only could be thrown away to make room for pppd etc. Also a custom kernel with the serial driver compiled in might save some bytes (with the side effect that booting probably also will be faster because less devices are probed) Nils - -- \ /| Nils Rennebarth --* WINDOWS 42 *-- | Schillerstr. 61 / \| 37083 Göttingen | ++49-551-71626 Micro$oft's final answer | http://www.nus.de/~nils -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBM4wJJlptA0IhBm0NAQH9TAL/UOqEnGhcxphEjDfrgD8w4mj5DCjJj2eq m5gz8gywEuJsGUk9hr5CtsyFk3ESML8K3kopjNhYE7drjrOf8zpKLuWsCVYNRMNe nSj5IeJWhOb0eY90wblsEVmpplSFLNQo =gcv0 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: vfat drives and users
On Tue, 27 May 1997, Brian Skreeg wrote: I`ve recently installed *yet* another hardrive in a bid for more room. The drive has been formatted as fat16 for use by Win95 as well. Now I`ve decided to ask about a problem I`ve ignored until now. Both the new drive and my present Win95 drive are mounted in fstab using vfat at mountpoints /DOS and /AMIGA (don`t ask why , it`s too painful to talk about). Currently only root can write to these drives. I`d like to make it so my usual account oz can write to these as well. How? I have solved this by creating a group for each filesystem that don't support access permissions. E.g I have a group fat with gid=23 for fat disks. Then each user that should have write access to the disk must be a member of that group. That you do be adding the line fat::23:oz to your /etc/group (see also manpage for adduser). Then in your /etc/fstab you should use gid=23 and umask=002, this means no matter who mounts the filesystem (probably root during boot) all the files and dirs will have group 23 (fat). The umask option tells the system to make no restrictions for owner and group (in which oz is a member), that is all the files and dirs will get access permission rwx for owner and group and rx for others. The line in your /etc/fstab would look something like this: /dev/hdxx /DOS vfatdefaults,gid=23,umask=022,quiet 1 2 If you don't use the quiet option you will get an error message each time you try to change the access permissions (done e.g. during moving with mv) Hopes this helps, it solved all my problems, and is a solution that supports that some users have write permissions and others not.

Re: rwhod
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.
[..]
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.
The only reason I have for not running rwho is that one morning,
back in the 1.1.57 days, when I got to the laboritory, my computer was
swiched of, all cables disconected, panic notices were distributed
around the room, and the sysadmin here were spreading panic messages
like fire. Turned out the computer department had a problem with
their system, and related it with my computer -- so the systemadmin
here went compleately crasy.
The only thing I could find in my syslogs before my computer was swiched
off, were a few rwho messages. That's why I'd be weary to start that
service up again, not because I'm on a 100 computer subnetwork: I don't
really care if others see who's logged on here.
(Yeah, I know you're not intereseted in this tragic story about
computer abuse by systemadmins, but I'm still traumatised, and just needed
to vent this).
BTW, the systemadmin that went out of his mind back then has left, so
maybe I can try starting rwho once more? I'm sure it wasn't rwho
that was causing it, anyway.

fsck for the second partition is occurring after all the module
failures, so it seems perhapps that the book sequence has gotten

No, in /etc/init.d/boot I read that modules are supposed to be loaded
before the fsck. This is probably because some of the filesystems may
need those modules.
However, the modules aren't supposed to be loaded from /usr: they
are supposed to live in /lib/modules, and the insmod executable
is in /sbin, so there _should_ be no problem. Did you messabout
with your system?
If I go back to the rescue floppy, how much damage can I do to
the software already loaded? All I intend to do is to select and

Well, you _can_ do a lot of damage, but if you're carefull
and don't do things like rm -rf /, then you probably will not
do too much damage. (But _DO_ unmount all filesystems before
the next reboot -- or if this fails atleast type sync).

Debian install on multiple machines
Hello, What is the easiest way to install an identical set of packages on multiple machines? That is, at install time, I want it to select the same packages to install, rather than manually having to select packages on each machine.

TCP/IP Routing with Class B
I've got a new project and I need a refresher on TCP/IP to get it done. Can anybody help me with where I might find answers/documentation/sample solutions, etc. on the following: I have a company that wants to move to TCP/IP only. They need to connect to 3 locations and the Internet (4 routers). The Internet link has a firewall with Network Address Translation so we can use any addressing we want internally. We'd like to use a private class B address like 172.16.x.x internally for the entire operation, but working with Class B's makes me go fuzzy on my TCP/IP fundamentals. Networks in each location would be 172.16.1.0, 172.16.2.0, 172.16.3.0, and the Internet. My questions are: - What subnet mask(s) do we apply to the networks to get the routing to work? - With 4 routes to different subnets and the Internet, what routing entries do we need to enter in the routers and the workstations? Does a routing protocol come into the picture? Any information to start me down the right path is appreciated.

sendmail 8.8.5 and mailertable
Hey We (Hakan Ardo, [EMAIL PROTECTED], and myself) just tried to setup a machine in Sweden, which should forward EVERY single mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the Netherlands). a.domain.org is a machine in Sweden. b.domain.org is the same machine in Sweden. Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should NOT be forwarded to c.otherdomain.org. So, we created a new sendmail.mc file, with FEATURE(mailertable)dnl included, and rebuild sendmail.cf. b.domain.org isn't in the Cw list of the machine in Sweden. We created a hashtable using makemap (mailertable.db), with just one entry: a.domain.orgsmtp:c.otherdomain.org But somewho, when you send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the mail bounces when 'user' doesn't exist on that machine. It is not forwarded. Any ideas? Thanks, Remco and Hakan. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

In the Company LAN, each Workstation and Router has to have static routes to LAN A, B, C via the respective Router.

the software already loaded? All I intend to do is to select and

Well, you _can_ do a lot of damage, but if you're carefull and don't do things
like rm -rf /, then you probably will not do too much damage. (But _DO_
unmount
all filesystems before the next reboot -- or if this fails atleast type
sync).
I will print this message out and take it home with
me. Unfortunately, the machine is not local, nor
can I log into it, what with the network module
non existant.
Is there a fix that I am not aware of? Some way to reorder the
fsck of /hda2 to occur before the module loads are tried?
See above -- should not be needed.
I will not try that then. Many thanks!

Then your modules got loaded properly, or they were bad before too.
No /usr stuff is needed for the loading of the modules, as you suggest

Under X, you need to type Control_Alt_F1 etc.
bascially, there are several ways to proceed.
If you boot via LILO, then the best thing to do is to type at the
lilo prompt:
linux emergency
(replacing linux for your kernel image, press TAB).
Then none of the startup scripts are executed, and you can try to go
through the bootup manually, and checking what went wrong.
If the above doesn't work (your' not using lilo, for example), just
boot from a floppy, and try to mount your root filesystem on /mnt,
cd to it and examine what may have gone wrong, possibly correcting
it.

Did you try ctrl-alt-{f1,f2,...} ? I believe that is how to get back to
a VC from within X. Somebody slap me if I'm wrong. Also,
ctrl-alt-bkspc is supposed to kill the X-server, though I've been told
you shouldn't do that. Seems like it'd be less harmful than the power

Internal ISDN TA ??
I've been analyzing options for ISDN on my Debian GNU/Linux box and have found the following: 1. Many external TA's emulate standard analog modems (i.e. AT command set) and connect via serial port. 2. To maximize performance I must run the serial port at 460K - i.e. not even 16550A's will work right? (I want to be able to run MP - both channels.) 3. The easiest way to get Linux support is to get a TA that operates via the AT command set. To get around this problem of having to install a high-speed serial board (Hayes ESP, etc.), I'd like to install an internal ISDN TA such as the USR Sportster ISDN or Motorola Bitsurfer Pro Internal. My questions are: Do you know of any internal ISDN TA's that operate via the AT command set? Do either of the two internal examples above work this way?

So if you are running 2.0.30 you don't have to compile yourself ;-) In 1 or 2 days I will upload the bugfix 3.03a ftape for 2.0.30. Perhaps you should try the bugfix release. I can't really comment on your specific problem as ftape is working fine for my Iomega Ditto 800. I think the messages indicate that there were write errors on different segments of your tape but the retries succeded. You could try to format your tape with the new ftape-3.03 but it takes approx. 4 hours. Otherwise send me an email with the messages and we can try to figure it out (I can forward it to dev.linux.tape) Greetings, Christian -- Christian Meder, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] What's the railroad to me ? I never go to see Where it ends. It fills a few hollows, And makes banks for the swallows, It sets the sand a-blowing, And the blackberries a-growing.

Re: mgetty ppp

However, when I start the ppp process, it complains that kernel lacks PPP support which is wrong. I look at the log messages and it saids the device is busy. However, if I start mgetty by hand, I can start ppp without any problems. I'm not sure what you are doing here. Are you trying to enable incoming PPP connections using mgetty? Are you trying to enable mgetty for incoming connections and then use PPP for outgoing to ISP? (i.e. use same port for incoming and outgoing comms.) How were you starting mgetty by hand? Same for ppp. What I am saying is that after I start mgetty for /dev/ttyS1, I cannot access /dev/ttyS1 (like dailing to my isp using chat) anymore which is not what the manual of mgetty suggests.
