You can found rumba on: ftp://hal.kph.tuwien.ac.at/pub/NeXT/tools/rumba/ Personnally, i never used smbmount. If a problem occur during the connection our linux box (kernel 2.0.27) crash few hours or few days after. With Win95, a connection problem occur often.

A policy against using ping once every 8 minutes and 20 seconds. I have never heard of such a thing. I have never had one complain.

Re: pppd leaves lock file after quitting
From the pppd man page: NOTES The following signals have the specified effect when sent to the pppd process. SIGINT, SIGTERM These signals cause pppd to terminate the link (by closing LCP), restore the serial device settings, and exit. SIGHUP This signal causes pppd to terminate the link, restore the serial device settings, and close the serial device. If the persist option has been specified, pppd will try to reopen the serial device and start another connection. Otherwise pppd will exit. SIGUSR2 This signal causes pppd to renegotiate compression. This can be useful to re-enable compression after it has been disabled as a result of a fatal decom pression error. With the BSD Compress scheme, fatal decompression errors generally indicate a bug in one or other implementation. So do a kill -SIGTERM Then it should clean up after itself.

trouble mounting LMS 206 CD-ROM to complete debian load from CD-ROM
I got debian-1.2 from cheapbytes. I am trying to install it on an old Quantex 486DX, vintage 1992/1994 with a LMS206 CD-ROM connected to a JAZZ sound board appropriated from a Gateway. Windows was upgraded to Windows95. --- first problem: The initial load from floppies went fine, including picking the LMS 206 driver, except that I did not know what options to use when installing the driver. The trouble came when I used dselect or when I tried to mount the cdrom. An error message popped up "SONY: CDU535 ... address is already in use." In the docs I found both devices use 0x340 and IRQ11. The sound board and the CD-ROM drive both say LMS. -- Second problem: I took my computer apart to check the identity of the CD-ROM drive. When I put it back again, it would not boot. It gave one long beep and eight short beeps. I don't have the AMI bios documentation to tell me what the beeps mean, but I figured it must be the power supply. I bought a new power supply, but the wires were not long enough to reach the P8-P9 plugs on the mother board. - TIA -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: NFS mounting /usr, Debian over NFS
Hi! Some time ago you posted a question on debian-user list regarding Debian NFS setup. There seems to be no useful follow-ups on the problem. I am in similar situation. I'm trying to set up a server with seven clients. Home directories are NFS mounted - that's easy part. I also want clients to function(to certain extent) when server is down. So just NFS mounting /usr on clients won't work. I'm leaning toward using cfengine and recursively linking local and NFS /usr's. However questions about upgrading packages, /etc directory remain. I would appreciate any information about this problem. And also if the discussion is taken out of mailing list I think it's a good idea to bring it back. These days, as Debian is gaining popularity, it would be extremely useful to have Debian specific recipes for that kind of setup. = === = mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] |__ Alexander Stavitsky http://www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/~stalex -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Netscape uses SOCKS host for local servers
How do I get Netscape to not use a SOCKS host for machines in my local domain? I am running "Mozilla/3.01Gold (X11; I; Linux 2.0.27 i586)" on my Debian 1.2 box, which is on a network behind a (SOCKS 4) firewall. After I set "Options/Network Preferences/Proxies" to "Manual Proxy Configuration" and filled in the "SOCKS Host" field it had no problems getting through to the outside world. However, it goes through the SOCKS host even to contact local http servers. (This is a problem because the SOCKS host is in a different building to which I am connected with only 10Kbps pipe.) I set the "No Proxy for" field to the local domain name but this had no effect. "Mozilla/3.0Gold (WinNT; 1)", similarly set up to use the SOCKS host, connects to local http servers directly, even without an entry in the "No Proxy for" field.

Re: CDROM with DOSish hidden files?
Hi, if you have a windows station on your network and samba installed on your linux box, put your cd-rom in cd-rom drive of the windows station, share the drive on the network and mount the drive on your linux box. To mount the drive you can used smbmount (provided by the debian package ksmbfs), smbclient or rumba (not available in debian package yet but rumba is the better choice). On user level, you can used smbclient smbclient didn't mount a drive, it's more like a ftp connection. On su level you can use smbmount, smbmount isn't available in user level because smbmount used kernel code, so if smbmount crash, the kernel crash... rumba is like smbmount but without kernel code, no risk to crash linux. To use this commands, the syntax is: smbclient host_name_\\drive_name_on_the_network ex: smbclient young\c-young smbmount //host_name/drive_name_on_the_network mount_point ex: smbmount //young/c-young /young /young must be a empty directory on the linux box rumba //host_name/drive_name_on_the_network ex //young/c-young /young /young must be a empty directory on the linux box Good luck, Dany Dionne Physics Department Laval University, Canada On Sun, 22 Jun 1997, Heiko Schlittermann wrote: > Hi out there, > > sure, not very Debian specific, but this is the list I expect > the fastest answer from > > I'd like to copy (for private use, of course) a CDROM.

GCC cross-compilation
G'day, Last night I compiled GCC as a crosscompiler for the Motorola 6811 microcontroller. It occurred to me that since most of the Debian packages are also available for m68k and also Sparc and Alpha now, the develops are probably using cross-compilation, rather than actually owning all these machines. Is there a package for eg the m68k cross compiler? I couldn't find one with the package search on www.debian.org. Thinking about it, it would seem possible to have a gcc-core package which would include the gcc binary itself for whatever languages (preferably C, C++, Objective C and also Ada), then gcc-architecture binaries which would contain cc1, assemblers and linkers and include files as necessary for each architecture. Then you could install the core, then any targets you wanted; typically i386, m68k, etc. Is this plausible and/or useful? thanks, Hamish -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

If you're just going to chown their subdirectory (home directory), all you may need is "chown -R user.group /home/user", but it depends on your situation. You can scan your entire filesystem for all the files they own with find / -uid Hope this helps -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

The debugfs program would tell you this. However, e2fsck does not scan your disk for unreadable physical disk blocks, only for errors in the filesystem's book-keeping of what blocks belong to what files, etc. The "badblocks" program does that scan. If you have an IDE or SCSI disk of recent vintage, don't bother looking for unreadable disk blocks - modern drives implement bad-sector-forwarding, and "repair" bad blocks on their own. Unless something is seriously wrong with your hardware, your Debian system will take care of its disks without your intervention.

pppd leaves lock file after quitting
Hi, I used pppd to connect to my university, which has a 2 hour limit on connections. Problem is, when pppd stops, it leaves the lock file in /var/lock. Do I have to remove the file itself?

Well, I think you can setup smail to use procmail as the default local
delivery agent. Then have fetchmail pass mail off to smail. Each
user has there own .procmailrc and you're all set.
I have done this with exim and since it is based on smail to some
extent (config files are similar), you should be able to do something
similar to the following (in smail's config file):
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe;
command = "/usr/bin/procmail -d ${local_part}",
user = root
# director
procmail:
driver = localuser,
transport = procmail_pipe;
These are from my /etc/exim.conf
You may have to modify them slightly for syntax.

If kernel code accesses any page that is swapped out, the affected code has to sleep while the page is swapped in. Some sections of the kernel assume that the executing code cannot sleep. Break that assumption and you get all sorts of nasty race conditions. Many of the "cannot sleep" assumptions are done to avoid data specific serialization. Along the lines of "I'm running, I own this data, no other code can change it right now so I can do what I like to it". With a fine grained kernel locking system, it may be possible to look at swapping kernel pages but don't hold your breath, it is a non-trivial exercise. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Dear Mr. Sean.Seaman
The copy of my previous message to you bounced because your From: address is invalid. If you want to send an unsubscribe message you need to have the right address set up in your 'Pegasus for Windows' mailer. I have tried to make a good guess as to what address to send this to as you can see from the To: header. If you can't figure it out maybe we should forward copies of your correspondence to someone at rutgers.edu who has a better solution to this problem. Please have a wonderful day.

How does Debian sound?
While I was thinking of a logo for Debian, I started brainstorming about what "debian" is... I know, it's Debbie and Ian, but was thinking of something else. You know, Red Hat is just that, a red hat, and Slackware is, oh, well, slack. Then it occured to me that I don't know how do native English speakers (Bruce, Ian, and plenty of others) pronounce "Debian". I speak Spanish, and in Spanish there's a unique way of pronouncing "Debian". According to my dictionary, it goes like this: * D, like the d in day * e, like the e in pet * b, much softer than the b in bass * i, like see * a, like a in father (american english) * n, like in now It's De-bian, two syllabes. For some reason, the first time I saw the word Debian, it reminded me of something supernatural. Browsing in my dictionary, I've come to the conclusion that Debian in English sounds *a little* like "divine". Something like "di'baian", with the last "a" like the one in "bat".
