Hello,

At boot up, when /etc/init.d/isdnutils start is executed, there
comes an error message: isdn_ppp_bind: can't find usable ippp device
Then the ppp-connection is started and works.
The connnection is then ALWAYS up.

Then i stop isdn isdnutils stop and restart isdnutils start

At this time there is NO errror message and everything works totally
fine.

Possible SYN flood

1998-02-14 Thread Krzysztof Adamski
Hi, can somebody explain this messages from my log file, the
xxx.xxx.xxx.110 is an alias address to the machine, and there is a web
site on it. The weird thing is that this messages always start at 17:45 EST
Is there anything that can be done on the boarder router to stop this.

More .pdf IRS forms printing problems

1998-02-14 Thread Paul Tanner

After downgrading gs-aladdin it printed OK!
___
Some details:  Using gv I displayed (note: it displayed correctly) the
.pdf of the 4835 tax form. I marked page 1 and clicked 'print marked
pages'.  It started to print and stalled after printing the top 1 inch. 

I have recently (partially) upgraded a 1.3.1 system to hamm and
gs-aladdin_5.10-2.  I have previously printed several pages with this
configuration.
Printer: epson stylus II

Magicfilter's gs command line:
/usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -sDEVICE=stcolor -r360x360 -dNOPAUSE\ 
-sOutputFile=- -sDithering=hscmyk -dnoWeave stcolor.ps -
--

But I have printed this file sucessfully before! That was before the hamm
upgrade.  Since I still have a floppy with the .deb of gs-aladdin 5.03
(that I compiled on the bo machine from the hamm source) I re-installed
it.  Then, with no further changes, I repeated the print as described
above --  SUCCESS!  I have an acceptable form.

I'm not smart enough to track this down, but I'll try to answer more
detailed questions if asked or experiment if directed. (directions to a
dummy please:-)  What -dev files from hamm would I need to compile the
5.03 source?

samba user-level access

1998-02-14 Thread Chris

Hi,

Firstly, excuse me if this is off the topic.

I am having problems getting user-level access to work from win95 clients
to our debian linux server, which is running samba.  The machine is
configured as the domain controller, with the security=user option set.

However when I try to use user-level shares on the windoze boxes, I get a
message telling me that a list of users is not available at this time,
and I can't make the share.

Does anybody know what is causing this (and how to stop it?)

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: Re: PS/2 Mouse problem


My problem is that I don't know where to tell programs like gpm or X
Windows where the mouse is actually at in /dev. I've read through the
manpages, the FAQ's and many of the HOWTOS and I'm at a loss. Any help on
this would be most appreciated.

The correct device name is /dev/psaux

Gee, figures I'd overlook something that blantantly obvious!

Actually, /dev/psaux was my first guess when trying to get the mouse to
work. The first time I tried to use the mouse was when I was setting up
Xfree86. When I tried to use /dev/psaux in the XF86Config, it didn't work,
but I read another message from the list where someone used gpm with the -R
option and pointed to /dev/gpmdata. Doing it that way did the trick, but I
needed that clarification that psaux actually was the device location.

Thanks for the help.

 Then the ppp-connection is started and works.

 comes an error message: isdn_ppp_bind: can't find usable ippp device
 Then the ppp-connection is started and works.
 The connnection is then ALWAYS up.

 The isdnutils scripts takes in /etc/isdn/device.ippp0 script. Check that
 and /etc/isdn/ipppd.ippp0 files. Replace ippp0 with the interface you're 
using. 

 Then i stop isdn isdnutils stop and restart isdnutils start
 manually.
 
 Does 'isdnctrl hangup ippp0' work?

 At this time there is NO errror message and everything works totally
 fine.

 This might have something to do with network routing. I had to fight a little 
when
 I had dynamic ip from my ISP, but this got a lot simpler after getting static 
ip address ;-)
 I remember that I had to create some bogus route with bogus address, which 
then 
 /etc/isdn/device.ippp0 replaced with dynamic ip configuration.

To my dismay, I discovered that the Debian version of gs does not have the

I can print with the epson driver, but the output looks horrible.  Has

I am no sendmail expert but maybe you forgot to put dnl at the end of the

To quote /usr/doc/sendmail/cf.README.gz:

++
| A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO M4 |
++

Sendmail uses the M4 macro processor to ``compile'' the configuration
files.  The most important thing to know is that M4 is stream-based,
that is, it doesn't understand about lines.  For this reason, in some
places you may see the word ``dnl'', which standards for ``delete
through newline''; essentially, it deletes all characters starting
at the ``dnl'' up to and including the next newline character.  In
most cases sendmail uses this only to avoid lots of unnecessary
blank lines in the output.

Re: wtmp

1998-02-14 Thread Peter Paluch
Hello Dennis,

dpk wrote:
 
 I have seen posts on this before, but can't seem to find them in the
 mail archives.  I upgraded to libc6 (hamm), deleted /var/adm/lastlog,utmp,
 wtmp - rebooted.  As root I touched these files, did a 'login', and
 I then appeared in the 'last' command.  However, when I logout, 'last'
 is blank again. 

I think I was the last one who posted some question on similar problem
to this list. Well, you HAVE to upgrade all packages from
hamm/binary-i386/base/ (of course just those you have presently
installed), especially the util-linux, login, passwd, sysvinit and other
which contain commands like last, lastb, w, who, login and so on.
Unfortunately, I did upgrade Debian on our school server only, at home I
still use the stable distribution, and because some of these programs
have moved between various packages, I am not quite sure which packages
do you really need to upgrade at the moment. But as I wrote - upgrade
from packages at base directory.

Then, issue these commands _in the order as they are written here_:

1) cd /var/log
2) mv wtmp wtmp.libc5
3) touch wtmp
4) cd /var/run
5) rm -f utmp
6) cp /dev/null utmp
7) shutdown -r now

First time I forgot to create the utmp files and the problem was not
completely resolved, so I tried it once more exactly in this order and
it seems to work fine.

I hope it helps. If not - just e-mail...

Everything the best
Peter

In order to get OSS installed on Debian Linux, you must make a symbolic

Finally, make sybolic links from /usr/include/linux to

Re: OSS setup

1998-02-14 Thread Alex Yukhimets
 This is from the OSS linux-x86 page.  This does not sound right based on
 how debian does other things.  Could we perhpas offer a better solution
 to them.
 The URL is: http://www.opensound.com/linux-x86.html
 BEGIN QUOTE:
...

It was already discussed. The better solution was indeed proposed and it
will appear in the nearest releases of OSS (hopefully).
The text of the quote was changed after this discussion. Previously it
sound something like: the way Debian treat kernel headers is seriously 
broken

SGML - can one create new DTDs using Debian tools?

1998-02-14 Thread Oliver Elphick
I want to create a new DTD to describe a set of documents that I have created.

I can see how to describe the document in a DTD but I do not understand
how the formatters can be instructed how to present the newly defined
tags.

Is this possible, or is any one formatter restricted to interpreting a
particular DTD?

Sound card install...?

1998-02-14 Thread tsnake
I ran out of IDE controllers on my machine so I decided tosteal the SB
from my fiance's computer to hopefully be able to use the IDE comtroller
on it so I can actually use my CDROM drive. Anyway, I can't seem to get
the computer to noticethe C Drive is there, and I'm not even sure if it
knows the sound card is there... since I don't have a pnp OS installed, I
don't know what I actually need to do to get the system to notice the
additions... any help? I'm not sure if this is a linux/debian issue, but
it will be when I get it working ;)
Thanks,
Chris

RZ1000 error...?

1998-02-14 Thread David S. Jackson
Hi, 

I'm installing Debian 1.3.1 from the Infomagic Developer's Resource CD
(Aug 97, kernel 2.0.29) on an old p5-60 with an Opti chipset and
AMIBIOS (C)1992, Version 1.00.09AF2.  The machine was an oldie and
not-so-goodie (FDIV bug and all), but hopefully it's still a usable
machine.

Anyway, I'm getting an error upon bootup: 

...
ide0: buggy RZ1000 interface: not enabled
hda: WDC AC11200L, 1222MB w/256kB Cache, LBA, CHS=2484/16/63
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
...

I've got my old Creative 2x CD-ROM on ide0 and my other WD drive on
ide1.  I can't seem to get anything plugged into ide0 to be
recognized.  I think I have everything plugged in correctly, though
I'm not certain.  

1) Is the kernel calling the physical port ide1 ide0 now because the
physical ide0 is not enabled?

2) Does the standard Rescue kernel contain the RZ1000 patch, or is that
usually left out by default?  

3) Do I need to compile another kernel somewhere to get this
recognized?  (I've run Slack and RHL on this machine before without
problems, but don't know whether it was because of the RZ1000 patch or
not.) 

4) Do I need to modify my bios settings?  And where could I find
information on what those settings should be for such a dinosaur?  

TIA!

Xanim.....

1998-02-14 Thread Timothy M. Hospedales
Thanks for everyones help with the PPP problem. It's fixed now. :).
I recently installed the XAnim package; I've tried playing AVI,MOV and
MPG files.
All of them play black  white, criss crossed with lines, and distorted
with multiple outlines of the animation at different offsets.
When I add the +b option, or various other options suggested in the
xanim man page, it plays bw with only vertical lines and no distortion.

However, I can't get it to work any better than that. Any ideas?

I have a Matrox Millenium 4MB video board with the regular
SVGA X-server.
I'm Running X at 1152X864, 24bit color.
My X is still libc5 although I have upgraded to libc6.

Thanks in advance!
Timothy.

Re: wanted packages

1998-02-14 Thread Adam Shand

 I see that you appear not to be using a fuzzy search but the
 referenced site is pretty impressive.  As in most searches finding the
 right 'key word(s)' can be tricky but this program is fast enough that a
 few iterations is not at all a problem!

Correct.  We will probably upgrade it to include support for regex's
soon... but time has been short and neither of us have had the motivation
to see it get done. ;)

You would you do a fuzzy search, any idea's you're willing to contribute?
It will already search for any substring of what you put in and I haven't
had too many problems.  My main reason for wanting regex support is so I
can search for things like:

mail$   or ^x

and delimit the substring when I do searches.

  You can use on of the Debian Package Finders.  My favorite (because I
  helped write it) is:

Debian and FHS?

1998-02-14 Thread Torsten Hilbrich
At the moment Debian follows the directory structure found in the
FSSTND.  

Are there any plans to follow FHS in the near future?  

The biggest change I found is that /var/lib completely disappears
(well it is deprecated now and to be removed in the feature) and is
replaced by /var/state.  The introduction of /opt should be of no
relevance for a basic distribution.

True Type fonts for X11?

1998-02-14 Thread Christopher Barry
I finally got PPP working and got Navigator 4.04 installed and was
shocked to see how ugly the fonts were! They are these tiny little
pixelated things that are stressful to the eyes to read. Even as I am
typing this I am appalled! Where can I get more fonts, most importantly
True Type fonts? I got all the fonts in section X11 so where do I go
now? The text on some pages is completely unreadable, like
home.netscape.com, where the browser automatically took me after firing
up for the first time.

Thanks.

installed ksmbfs pkg, where is smbclient

1998-02-14 Thread Richard B. Talley
Howdy,

I wanted to add a Linux box to my home network so I dragged out an old 386 
and downloaded the latest stable Debian release.

I enabled smb support when I installed the kernal.
Installation and smoke test went fine.

I used dselect to install the ksmbfs pkg. (I want to mount some of my 
win95 shares on the Linux machine.)

I can't find smbclient or smbmount anywhere on the system. I've been 
through all the FAQ's and HOWTO's.

I'm sure it's something stupid and obvious but I'm stuck.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Is this also true for www.debian.org? Netscape has some funny
understanding of HTML. This is from their homepage: FONT SIZE=-2
POINT-SIZE=8 

This fontsize is far too small for my 1024*768 resolution, so I also can't
read the text. I don't have problems with other sites who don't abuse the
FONT tag. Also try to set the basefontsize to 14 (or more if you like) in
Communicators preferences.

There is a renderer for true type fonts, but you shouldn't need it if it
is only Netscape's site which gives you trouble.

Ciao,

NFS mounting problem

1998-02-14 Thread Rob Duncan
I'm having some problems mounting with NFS.  The baffling thing is
that the client machine (aidan) can happily mount two other
directories from the server (miles), but consistently balks on this
one.  Here's what I start with on aidan:

aidan# mount 
/dev/hda3 on / type ext2 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
miles:/home on /home type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.2)
miles:/var/spool/mail on /var/spool/mail type nfs
(rw,addr=192.168.1.2)

and then I try to add one more:

aidan# mount miles:/usr/local/java /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on miles:/usr/local/java,
   or too many mounted file systems

I don't understand the message.  Here's /etc/exports from the server:

/home   *.metamata.com(rw)
/var/spool/mail *.metamata.com(rw)
/cdrom  *.metamata.com(rw)
/usr/local/java *.metamata.com(rw)

I tried adding this to /etc/exports on miles, and aidan was able to
mount it fine:

/tmp*.metamata.com(rw)

Here are the permissions for /usr/local/java on the server:

miles:~$ ls -ldg /usr/local/java
drwxrws---  14 root staff1024 Feb 10 11:34 /usr/local/java/

I'e tried messing around wih the permissions, but nothing I did seemed
to make any difference.

I'm out of ideas, so any suggestions will be gratefully tried out.

Thanks,

Rob.

It is intended that Debian 2.1 follow the FHS, with the exception that
/var/lib/dpkg will not be moved to /var/state/dpkg (it is considered too
dangerous).

more ?s on ISDN and PPP ...

1998-02-14 Thread Richard G. Roberto
Hi,

A while ago I posted a question on how to set up a TA to use
sync mode, etc. from within chat.  I now have the init
string for my TA, but chat gags on it.  The output from ppp
is useless.  It just exits with no error.  The init string
is AT$N1=1, which works from within minicom and I can
display the data transfer rate with AT\S to be 64K (sync
mode).  But chat can't apparently send this string.  I tried
escaping it with a \, but that didn't work.

Any ideas on how to pass this init string in chat?  My chat
string looks like this:

chat -v  atq0v1x3$n1=1 OK atdt CONNECT

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
