cygwin32-17.1 source on Official CD 2
Hi, While looking for something else, I noticed the cygwin32-17.1 sources on the source Official CD. There seems to be no binary package. The source files are in the new source file format (unlike 1.2.10). There were binary packages in 1.2. What is the status of this stuff? Is the presence of the source an error?

Problem with serial port?
I have just installed Debian version 1.3 on my computer. When I attempt to send 'at' commands to my modem through minicom there is a long delay of about 45 seconds before what I typed appears on the screen and than another 30 seconds before the modem responds. My modem is connected to what would be COM1 under DOS. Under Linux this is /dev/ttyS0 which is what I am using. As an example if I type ATZ in minicom the command will not echo for approx 45 seconds. The modem's response of OK takes another 30 seconds or so to appear. This same behavior occurs no matter what commands I issue to the modem. Before installing Debian I used Slackware and I was able to use this same hardware combination without any problems. I switched my modem to /dev/ttyS1 (COM2) and it works normally. I would appreciate any input as to what I can check to be able to get my modem to work on /dev/ttyS0 as it did when I had Slackware running. Also, COM1 works normally under WIN95. This tells me that the com port hardware is working properly. I suspect that this is a configuration issue but I am not sure where to look. My modem is a USR Sportster and the com ports are both 16550A UART's. The kernel version is 2.0.29. I even recompiled the kernel with serial support built in as opposed to serial being a module as it is when first installing a new Debian system.

Should the binaries using libc5 from hamm be safe with 1.3.1? There shouldn't really be a problem. On the other hand, I don't really know why you'd want to use a cross compiler for beta 17.1. That would imply that you want to use beta17.1 as your target environment on Win95/NT. The cygwin environment is under heavy development, and you will find that old releases leave out all sorts of essential features that are in the newer releases. Beta 18 is much, much better.

Re: SB AWE 64 versus Soft. Syns. for making midi... Also, midi keybo
I figure that maybe I can spend the money on a midi-compatable keyboard instead. Anyone with exp. on using one of those under Linux? I saw a keyboard for about $170 at Electronic Boutique, which was basically one devoted to Midi, without any samples built in. That seems to be the cheapest I can find which lets you connect it to a computer? If you want to be really cool, buy a keyboard with weighted keys (feeling like a piano). Takes about $1000 :(. Seek a Keyboard with big keys (not the baby ones), and with touch sensitive keys. A pedal is nice, as are modulation and pitch bend function. You don't need any samples or demo songs (burb), but a midi connection. Good keyboards have midi anyway. When I talked to my local dealer (which apparently is the only way Roland sells things?) they said $1500 for weighted key model. Of course it had tons of sounds and other functions (many of which I wouldn't really know how to do in software). Can you even get weighted keys without all this extra stuff? What model was it you saw that went for only $1000? It seems the like to reserve this feature for their expensive models, which I think at this point is a remarkably bad strategy. Mayby it's time for a new manufacturer to enter the scene. The Roland PC-200 mkII is a pretty good MIDI keyboard for use with computers. It has bend/modulate, velocity sensitive keys, a connection for a pedal, and some other functions. The bad thing is it's keys are compact and not weighted. If you arn't a pianist, spending ~$800 more for full size weighted keys might not be worth it. Marcus who also seeks a cheap midi keyboard :) I get the feeling this could be a tough search.

Re: [DEBIAN] Standardization?
It would be so cool if we all used linux insted of debian or redhat. I changed from redhat to deb because I percieved that future upgrades would be smoother.

Many questions (mostly Network)
1) I have a rather strange setup, and I'm confused on how to implement it. It looks something like this: |---| ~~~| Gateway ||---[A Machine] |---|| | |---[A Machine] |---|| | Fileserv ||---[A Machine] |---|| | |---[A Machine] The gateway is given to me by my ISP, and it has a 10baseT connection that I can hook to one machine. So, the plan is that I'm going to hook it to my fileserver, and use it as a gateway to the gateway. This way I can use IP masquerading to allow all of the machiens (with varying OSs) to access the net. The machines are all hooked in with the Fileserver using Thin BNC. The Fileserver is running Linux. My idea is to have two network cards in Fileserv, one using Thin BNC and the other using 10baseT. I've noticed that the driver for NE-2000 compatible cards only looks for cards that have io addresses that I mention. So my questions are: * Can I have two ne-2000 compatible cards in the same system? * assuming the gateway can pump data extremely fast, will I be losing a ton of permformance by going from 10baseT to thin BNC? In other words, should I switch my whole system to 10BaseT instead? (Downloads are VIA satellite... That can be fast.) * Are there any serious flaws in this plan I'm not seeing? -- 2) I'm running SAMBA on my fileserver (same setup as above). On it, I have a public directory (both in SAMBA terms and UNIX). However, when someone attempts to write a file, sometimes it doesn't allow it. Can someone tell me what has to be done to make a share completely public, so that I can step through and see where my permissions are bad? Generally, my solution is to do a chmod a+rw --recursive on the directory occsaionally. It sometimes fixes it. -- 3) Ok, now let's say one of the A Machines is a Linux box that uses PPP to hook into a secure site (behind a firewall). Let's say (oh, for example) that everything behind the firewall is 15.19.*.*, and the machine is assigned an address for PPP that is in th 15.19 domain. What this machine would want to do is communicate with the PPP line for everything behind the firewall, and communicate with the fileserver/gateway for everything else-- I assume requiring it to look like a diffrent IP number for each (remember, the Server/Gateway will be using masquerading). So the question is, how can I do this and ensure that people on other machines in the network can't get to the 15.19 domain? Assume that I'm the only one that can log onto the Linux System I just described... (whew!) --- 4) I can't for the life of me figure out what the startup files are defined as or where they are defined (say, .login and .startup.x11 from my old dec days) --- Well, that should do it for now.

Incoming PPP question - subnetting
I'm having a problem configuring dialin PPP access on my system. (Debian 1.3.1, PPPD 2.2 pl0) I've allocated a subnet of addresses to the incoming lines and tried setting the subnet mask in /etc/ppp/options to netmask 255.255.255.224; however, my incoming clients have netmasks of 255.255.255.0. Could this be a problem with the client, or is it the server? Anyone else doing this?

The Millenium is a faster card, with better expandability, if all you are going to do is Linux and X Windows.

Re: MD5 passwords and su
The version of su you're using (from shellutils) isn't part of the shadow password suite. It's smart enough to use shadow password functions if it finds them in the library, which it does, but other shadow features (ENV_SUPATH, SU_WHEEL, MD5 passwords) aren't available. If you want them, you need to replace shellutils's su with the shadow-su package. It should be in the distribution somewhere; I can't say where, I don't use it. --Galen -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Incoming PPP question - subnetting
Thanks for the reply (and the info), Jens. Here's what I'm trying to do: I've got one assigned Class C - 206.182.236.0 - which I've split using a netmask of 255.255.255.224. I'm using one subnet of 206.182.236.32 for my local LAN. My Debian Linux box is IP .33 and acts as a DialdD server to ISP as well as modem server for two lines (these incoming PPP connects are in the same subnet - .32) I have another subnet for another LAN in another building (.64). This LAN has an NT server that I'm using to dial into the Linux box and provide routing to/from this subnet. Problem is that this NT box sets up a netmask of 255.255.255.0 for the .32 subnet that it has connected to via PPP. From this point on, all IP traffic on the local subnet gets routed out the PPP connection. (Pretty bad scene - we've got 100Base-TX going into 33.6Kbps...)
