xdm/X not terminating processes on logout
For some reason processes are not being terminated after a user logs out of an X session (via xdm). Example: User logs in and starts up "vi someprogram", then user xxx kills the X session (ie kills WM, thus killing session). User xxx logs in again and 's "vi someprogram" is STILL running and using (according to top) about 92% of CPU. I noticed this after I logged out one night and when I logged in the next day my load was about 4.7 withnothing special (except the vi session) running. Any Ideas why xdm would not kill all of the users processes? Or is it xdm that is supposed to do it? -Brian -- Brian Rectanus Kansas State University Computing and Informational Sciences Multimedia/Web Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cis.ksu.edu/~trojan -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I really don't care if users wish to have their own ~/.procmailrc or not - that is entirely up to them. I, however, make great use of it to block spam. switching to qmail would involve a hell of a lot more time than 30 seconds. It would take days to duplicate the functionality of my current setup, and at the end of that time i would have a setup no better than what i already have. after that, i would have to enjoy the dubious pleasures of reproducing the setup on all of the mail systems that i am responsible for. > : 2. procmail is part of my 4 tier spam filtering system. > > Why???

magicfilter permissions
This is a permissions problem that I can't straighten out. I have a util called hpset that I use to change the print qualilty of my hp dj660c. This program currently will only let root execute it since it writes directly to /dev/lp1. I want to stick this command in my magicfilter filter file but it fails due to lack of permissions. What do I need to change to give magicfilter(i.e. lpd) permissions to execute hpset on /dev/lp1?

See, for example, CERT advisory 95:02. on the other hand, NOT all systems have insecure versions. Some of your concerns, especially re: security are quite validothers, however, like your insistence that ~/Mailbox is somehow superior to /var/spool/mail, are too context-dependant. For those that are insecure, there are other (less drastic) ways of fixing the problem. e.g. 'login' is insecure on some systems...does that mean that unix should throw away the entire method, or should it just fix the problem? too many other things break when you arbitrarily make such radical changes to the system. The fact is that, for most people, the few improvements offered by qmail are not worth the price of changing the way the rest of their systems are organised. > > it's anti spam features don't seem as good as Claus Assman's check_* > > rules for sendmail 8.8.x > > By default, qmail refuses SMTP mail not addressed to the local host.

Debian Newbie Setup Questions...
Hello. I'm considering trying out Linux (Debian in particular) and I have some questions concerning the Debian distribution. I want to check and see if the Debian system will be compatable with my machine. I've looked in a lot of HOW-TOs, but they seem to deal with the Linux kernel in general rather than Debian specifically. My machine: Pentium 90MHz laptop (DFI model 7200) Mouse Port mouse 32 meg ram 800 meg IDE hardrive 1.4meg floppy PCIC compatable PCMCIA slot (I have no idea what chipset, I just know Windows 95 uses the PCIC driver, and it works). Cirrus Logic 754X video. 800x600 TFT LCD monitor. 28.8 hayes "standard" PCMCIA modem. My big concern is the PCMCIA slot - since I'll want to dial into my ISP once the floppy install is done and finish the install using FTP, I need to know if the Debian base floppy install supports PCMCIA in general (and my PCIC compatable chipset specifically), and what do I need to do to use it (if present), otherwise I won't be able to finish installing the stuff. If anyone sees any other conflicts/problems with the setup above, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Router installation
I am trying to install an Ascend Pipeline 25px ISDN router. The 25px is able to accept a dynamically assigned IP. I have read and done what the ISP-Hoohup HOWTO instructed but no net access. :( I also had problems getting minicom to work so I could configure the router but I eventually configured it on a Win machine and it works on that machine. I'm unsure if I need PPP stuff running or not because the router has a nic interface and is plugged into the same hub as the Linux machine. My local network works just fine as far as connectivity is concerned. If you have experience setting up Ascend routers in Linux I would really appreciate a walk through. Thanks in advance!!

Re: MTA Suggestion
> the point was that his NFS argument against /var/spool/mail was > irrelevant because home directories are often NFS mounted too There is no ``NFS argument against /var/spool/mail.'' The fundamental problem with /var/spool/mail is security. It's not easy to handle a world-writable directory safely. (Big ISPs have another problem with /var/spool/mail: on most systems, reading a large directory takes a long time.) As a separate issue, mbox format is unreliable when the system crashes. It doesn't matter whether mailboxes are stored in home directories or in a central directory. The relevance of NFS is that it makes mbox format even more unreliable; you can lose mail even if the systems never crash. ---Dan Put an end to fake mailing list subscriptions. http://pobox.com/~djb/ezmlm.html -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I've had no problems with my EZFlyer (the 230Mb model). It worked out of the box once I plugged it into my SCSI card. I was able to use mke2fs to reformat a disk to have an ext2 file system without a problem. It's been running just fine, and is about as fast as the (older) IDE drives in the system. From what I've been able to gather, the Zip and Jaz drives actually use the disk itself to store the necessary parameter information that the servomotors use to read the disk. That is, the disk tells the drive how to read it. If the servo portion of the disk fails, at best the disk is unreadable. At worst, I've heard that the servos can go crazy and damage the drive.

You can selectively allow relaying from particular IP blocks; see FAQ 5.4. > debian has managed to produce an NFS safe locking library, That is incorrect. Debian mailbox locking will fail under high loads. libfilelock_0.1-2, like every other dot-locking library with stale lock removal, requires that clients actively refresh locks within a specified period of real time. Unfortunately, UNIX is not a real-time system. Example: The delivery agent is about to write the last block of a message to a mailbox that it has ``safely'' locked. The write takes ten minutes to get through to the server. Meanwhile, an MUA on the server sees the ``stale'' lock file, removes it, and reads the mailbox---with a truncated message. Oops. Reliability means never having to say you're sorry. > there's also the 'minor' problem that only a few MUAs (i don't know of > one except for qmail-popper) will work with qmail's new maildir format. maildir is an _option_ in qmail and mutt and exim. It is not the default; if you don't want it, don't use it. I find it very strange that you refer to this as a ``problem.'' > and any site running an automounter daemon for user home > directories would be overloaded by qmail insisting on delivering mail to ~ By default, sendmail looks for .forward in the user's home directory. Either you suffer through automounting or you have unreliable .forward handling. Of course, you can move .forward somewhere else---but the same is true of .qmail and Mailbox. > in summary, i think that his reasons for doing things the way he does > are, for the most part, ill-informed opinion and bigotry.

To Micro$loth people, "they ARE the world" and what 'they' do "IS the standard". Though I may well be "full of it", I really do believe that Micro$sloth really does make changes purely for the purpose of making it difficult, impractical or legally impossible to be compatible with M$ without their proprietary software. Not only did they (in my opinion) scr*w IBM (in multiple ways -- and this way done by a guy, again in my opinion, that would be 'nobody' today were in not for the 'power' and influence of IBM -- and I am definately NOT fond of IBM myself) but in particular by altering the Windoz interface to attempt to preclude WinOS2 compatibility but they now seem to be h*ll bent to Micro$loth only alterations to the www and (I'm sure eventually) the Internet itself. Not that anyone else might care but Micro$loth wrote AmigaBASIC. This was a program that was buggy, unbelievably large and slow, and violated the most basic demand in the "Amiga ROM Kernel" manuals (the bibles for AmigaOS programming) by using the upper 8 bit of addresses for 'flag' storage. I think even oil and water mix better than do the "Micro$loth paradigm and the Unix paradigm (much less Linux).

Problems using adduser with NIS
Hi, I'm having difficulty adding users to my network which runs nis. I have a mail server which also stores the home directories. This is where I set up new users, but users cannot log into this machine. They access their directories over NFS, and get their mail the same way through qmail's Mailbox system. To restrict access to the mail server, I have those +| type lines halfway through my /etc/passwd and /etc/group files (with the right number of bars). If I try to use the adduser perl script, it stuffs up, because the group hasn't actually been created by the first stage, to be used in the second stage. Switching NIS off while I do it, won't help because the NIS either replaces what comes after +||| or ignoes it. I haven't tried it, but I imagine I could manually delete the +||| in the passwd and group files. Run adduser and then put them back. That might be slightly easier than manually setting things up, but not by much. Has anyone else found this to be a problem? And perhaps have a solution? thanks David.. -- Binary Bar - Australia's first free access internet bar/cafe/gallery. 243 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia. 5pm - 1am http://www.binary.net.au -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: installing 1.3 and Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 (ISA)
Alan, If memory serves me correct, the current version of the eepro driver is hardcoded (somehow) to work on IRQ 5. Do you have a sound card installed on IRQ 5? The latest driver from the author fixes this problem. Look in the driver source for his email address. Also, check using dmesg as to what ethernet connection the driver is using. The module should show 10B2 or 10BT (if you have a combo card) As a last resort, have you used the SOFTSET2 program that came with the card to do a diagnostic on it?

Re: can't install LILO
Manos Papantoniou wrote: > > perhaps you should make the linux root partition bootable (if you > haven't done it already) > > Manos Papantoniou > Hi, though using the linux partition to boot is the optium idea, I don't know if Ken's bios can boot from the second ide hd. One option is to switch the order of the hard drives making the hdb become the hda drive. This is one way to solve the problem. Another is located in /usr/doc/lilo/Maual.txt.gz and discribes the booting from a dos partition with its inherent problems. Follows is a small portion of this file concerning booting from a dos partition: /boot on a DOS partition - - - - - - - - - - - - Recent kernels support all the functions LILO needs to map files also on MS-DOS (or UMSDOS) file systems. Since DOS partitions tend to occupy exactly the places where BIOS restrictions (see section "BIOS restrictions") are invisible, they're an ideal location for /boot if the native Linux file systems can't be used because of BIOS problems. In order to accomplish this, the DOS partition is mounted read-write, a directory (e.g. /dos/linux) is created, all files from /boot are moved to that directory, /boot is replaced by a symbolic link to it, the kernels are also moved to the new directory, their new location is recorded in /etc/lilo.conf, and finally /sbin/lilo is run. >From then on, new kernels must always be copied into that directory on the DOS partition before running /sbin/lilo, e.g. when recompiling a kernel, the standard procedure changes from # make zlilo to # make zImage # mv /dos/linux/vmlinuz /dos/linux/vmlinuz.old # mv arch/i386/boot/zImage /dos/linux/vmlinuz # /sbin/lilo _WARNING:_ De-fragmenting such a DOS partition is likely to make Linux or even the whole system unbootable. Therefore, the DOS partition should either not be de-fragmented, or a Linux boot disk should be prepared (and tested) to bring up Linux and to run /sbin/lilo after the de-fragmentation.* * Setting the "system" attribute from DOS on the critical files (e.g. everything in C:\LINUX) may help to protect them from being rearranged. However, the boot floppy should still be ready, just in case. This may help, but because dos cannot see other partitions other than its own, you could make a tiny boot partition on /dev/hda by shrinking the dos partition on /dev/hda using fips. then format this small partition as an ext2 partition and make it bootable and remove the boot sector from /dev/hda1. I realize that i have presented several options, but I wish you luck with your endeavors with this problem.

I've dug around /usr/X11R6 quite a bit and can find neither the bitmaps nor an app-defaults for xbiff that would control this.

My new computer did a fresh install of Debian 1.3.1, and somewhere in there the xbiff bitmaps changed. The new bitmaps are of those little plastic stacking trays you see in offices.

Dear Tim,
I am in exactly the same situation - though I already decided to buy one.
I had previous experience with Jaz drive - that was garbage, it choked
on the first defective cartridge and died right on the spot.
As for SyJet, I herad only good things. As for Linux compatibility,
it should be even less demanding than Jaz, which pretends that only
Jaz Tools can be used to manipulate it. SyJet clearly states that it is
normal SCSI device which can be low-level formated using any SCSI utility.
(Of course, I am talking about SCSI version of SyJet).
Good luck.

The following is from a SCSI-2 standard draft: " A setmark is another type of special recorded element containing no user data, providing a segmentation scheme hierarchically superior to filemarks. This level of segmentation is useful for some high capacity storage devices to provide concise addressing and fast positioning to specific sets of data within a partition. In some implementations, the detection and reporting of setmarks may be controlled by the initiator using the MODE SELECT command."

can't install LILO
Hello, I'm having trouble installing LILO inder Debian 1.3.1 (installing from floppies). My disks: /dev/hda DOS/Win3.1 boot /dev/hdb1DOS FAT16 /dev/hdb2Linux Swap /dev/hdb3Linux Root /dev/hdb4Minix My /etc/lilo.conf file: boot=/dev/hda compact vga=normal install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map ramdisk=0 prompt timeout=200 message=/boot/startup.message default=3 ## LINUX image=/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb3 read-only label=3 ## DOS/Windows other=/dev/hda1 table=/dev/hda label=1 ## MINIX other=/dev/hdb4 label=2 When I run LILO, the HD light comes on for a second, I get a message that 1 and 2 are added... then I reboot and instead of LILO coming up, the computer just boots DOS. Shouldn't the line boot=/dev/hda cause LILO to write itself to the MBR of the first HD? Any ideas? I'm sure the HD is OK - it worked last week under a different Linux but I want to run Debian.

pseudo-static IP for webserver?
I wish I knew enough about the details here to phrase this right, but anyway: I need to test software that uses a browser to control it. That is, news & web accounts on the server are administratively controlled through web pages from other machines. (the server runs apache). To test this, I need to use a machine that has no access to the world other than a modem. So it needs to sit as a server, and also run a session on another machine running a browser to access the server (though preliminary testing could have the browser on the same machine). However, none of the local ISP's provide stack IP numbers. Is there any decent way to handle this? All i can think of is to change to the current IP on the remote machine every time . . . rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Down after 75 days of up time
Shut!!! Our main Linux server that handles mail (SMTP/POP3), WWW (apache), HTTP proxying and caching (Squid), primary DNS, remote access (PPP), file and printing services (Samba and NFS), network News (innd), among other things, crashed yesterday after 75 days of up time. Boy, I can tell you it is really _stressing_ to arrive in the office on Monday morning and find your spoiled server on its biting the dust. Phones ringing every 30 seconds, people coming into your office to know what's going on, etc. In 3 hours we were up again because we took the SCSI drives to an old [EMAIL PROTECTED] MHz and recompiled the kernel. Not a big deal. After all, it was nice because now I am configuring a [EMAIL PROTECTED] MHz with an AHA 2940 Ultra and a Barracuda. It's a nice way to get rid of that old [EMAIL PROTECTED] MHz with the FDIV bug (and of course the LOCK bug). The server is running Debian 1.3.1 (started at Debian 1.1) and it was the power supply that failed. It's been quite an experience. See ya! E.- -- Eloy A.

I'm just curious. I guess what you're asking is more than I know. How are these "marks" actually represented on the media? I have no idea. They certainly are different than file marks because when you search for a set mark you don't stop on a file mark. I can also tell you that searching for a set mark is *much* faster than searching for a file mark. I can't offer any hard numbers to back this up, I've just found it to be true. This fact suggests to me that set marks are fundamentally different than file marks. Why don't you scour the web for for in-depth information? I'd really like for you to email me the URL for such information if you find it since I, too, am curious. -- Jens B.
