Connecting up of a dumb terminal.
Hi there fellow Linux users! I have managed to get my Linux side up and running. Boy is linux sure great! I have an old 286 here that I would like to use as a dumb terminal. I know that I would have to connect the two computers up via a serial cable and run a terminal program on the other end. I would like to connect it to my IBM on com2. Please can you explain to me in great detail what it is that I must do to do this. Many thanks!

Fileserver and Streamer Jukebox
Hi, I'm going to install a file server for different Clients (10 Macs, 15 PCs and 8 SGIs) in our department. Does anybody have got any experiences in the following terms: 1) Performance: How fast is Linux in comparison to commercial servers. They increased the network performance with 2.0.3x a lot, didn't they. Does it make sense to use Linux on alpha, is it necessary to have good (better than PII/300 MHz) CPU Performance when the traffic increases on fast Ethernet? 2) We also want to save our data, so does anybody know something about jukeboxes for streamers (4GB, better 8GB)? Did you have trouble with the installation and how does it work? Sure, this is not debian specific question, so I will ask it also in the Newsgroups. So please don't worry.

Turns out that a serious problem with SVGA Text Mode is about as bad as a problem with BASH (assuming BASH is your default shell of course). But if you haven't configured SVGATextMode properly it shouldn't start at all at boot time. First configure it and be confident that it really works on your hardware, then make it start at boot time. Also, if you are unable to read the console, it still is a console. Log in blindly and type stm 80x25, and you should get the default 80x25 mode. Additionally, I either never could quite figure the thing out properly but when switching to a console under SVGA Text Mode from X the last row of pixels was lost on ALL console screens. To me it just seemed to quirky but will readily admit that except for 1) the potental inconvenience of not being able to get a console at all and 2) the quirky behaviour I experienced going to consoles from X, SVGA Text Mode can give you some really wonderful console displays on a high resolution monitor. 1) is solved by not doing things too fast, 2) is probably a timing problem that can be solved by tuning the video mode.

Re: Jetdirect
On Sun, 22 Feb 1998, Asher Haig wrote: How do I go about setting up linux to print to a Jetdirect printer? The HP page is useless. From what I see, it appears that I need to set it up with lpd as a tcp/ip printer. Does that mean that I have to have an additional IP address on my network for the printer (if so, is there any way around that?)? We have set up our Jetdirect this way. The Jetdirect card needs an IP address if it is on a TCP/IP network (which I presume your Linux box is on too). Once the IP address has been assigned, the Jetdirect acts like a standalone lpd to whcih you can feed data from a Linux printqueue. There are a couple of tricks to making it work properly. One is to make sure that you have turned off the header page (I had to upgrade the Jetdirect firmware to do this). The other is to have the proper queue name in your printcap. I have enclosed mine below: lj4m|ls178_hp4m|First Floor Department LaserJet:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :rm=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:\ :rp=text:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/ls178_hp4m:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\ :lf=/var/log/lp-errs: Once you have the queue established, you can serve it to any Windows95 machines on the network by using samba. I am not aware of any way of getting around the requirement of having an IP number for the Jetdirect. You could always connect the preinter directly to the parallel port of a Linux box and then set up a queue and serve it to the rest of the network. I have done this with a non-Jetdirect HP LaserJet but I much prefer the jetdirect solution. Good Luck, Carlo --- Carlo U.

Re: ipx_configure: socket: Invalid argument ?
Hi, INSTALLATION NOTES: Before you go any further, please allow me to point out that you need to have a few other packages installed before you can compile your own kernels (it is difficult to compile anything without a compiler ;-). Firstly, you will need gcc, the libc development package (libc5-dev or libc6-dev at the time of writing), and, on Intel platforms, bin86. [If you use the menuconfig target of make, you will need ncursesX.X-dev, and make xconfig also requires tkX.X-dev, and other packages these depend on] The packages suggested are: devel:gcc, libc5-dev/libc6-dev, binutils, make, and, for intel x86 platforms, bin86 (non-Intel platforms don't need this). interpreters: awk, which is contained in either the mawk or gawk packages base: gzip, shellutils, and grep. Some of these packages are marked essential, and hence are going to be present on your machine already. Others you have to check and install. Of course, pretty gui front ends to kernel configuration require more packages, but they are not strictly essential (though quite nice really). Oh, and of course, make-kpkg is part of kernel-package, usually found in section misc. For the Brave and the impatient: 1% cd kernel source tree 2% make config # or make menuconfig or make xconfig and configure 3% make-kpkg clean 4% make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image 5% dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_arch.deb 6% shutdown -r now # If and only if LILO worked or you have a means of # booting the new kernel. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! With the addition of fakeroot ( a really nice program, I recommend it) Steps 1 to 4 can be carried out as a non root user. Step 5 does require root priviledges. Detailed instructions Then, remember to change the revision number (using the --revision option of make-kpkg). It has been suggested that you renumber the revision number in such a way that a generic kernel image package will not override the custom package while using dselect (or dpkg -BOGiE). You may also do this on the fly by setting the DEBIAN_REVISION environmental variable. The revision number (the argument supplied after the --revision flag) has certain constraints: a) It only has an effect during the configure phase (in other words, if a file called stamp-configure exists, this option has no effect -- run make-kpkg clean or manually remove stamp-configure for it to have an effect).. So, if you re-run make-kpkg with a different revision number, you have to reconfigure the kernel. b) It may contain only alphanumerics and the characters + . (full stop, and plus) and should contain a digit. NOTE: No hyphens allowed. (Look at Chapter 5 of the Programmers manual for details) Optionally, you may prepend the revision with a digit followed by a colon (:); this shall put your revision into a new epoch; (which makes older dpkg very confused), more on this later. You should _not_ use a _ in the revision number! As tempting as it may seem, it actually interferes with the policy. The revision number is required because dpkg imposes an ordering on version numbers, so that it can tell whether packages are being up or downgraded and so that dselect can tell whether a package it finds available is newer than the one installed on the system. Dselect uses an option that prevents a package from being downgraded, for example. Packaged kernel-images in the distribution also have a version number - not at all coincidentally coinciding with the kernel version, because it is used to reflect the upstream version number. Note that the kernel version is also part of the package's name, thus it appears twice in the package's file name. It also gets a debian revision number relating to differences in builds. It then looks like: kernel-image-2.0.29_2.0.29-8.deb I've found that using a two-level scheme where the major level starts with a letter nicely does the job -- unless epochs are used, (--revision custom.Y, so the image package become kernel-image-X.X.XX-custom.Y.deb), and dselect and dpkg -BOGiE will refuse to downgrade to a generic kernel (don't give the BOG arguments to dpkg if you actually do want to downgrade later). The reason for telling kernel-package that the package has a version custom-x.y.whatever.you-want.to+add.more-just.do.not+use.an=underscore is that to dpkg that is always a higher version number than any version number starting with a numeral ( eg. a 2 like b a. ) This way, dselect will not try to upgrade your roll-it-yourself kernel-image when the a new build of the distribution default kernel appears in the archive. Unfortunately, this fails if the upstream maintainer uses epochs to correct a version misnumbering;-(. The good news is that you can add your own epoch to your customized image, ugly though that may be. (--revision 1:custom.Y; the kernel image file shall remain kernel-image-X.X.XX-custom.Y.deb, but dpkg

It keeps saying something about ISO 9660, I don't remember if that was the file system or what. I found the file system the CD drive uses, it is CDFS, as reported by Norton Utilities. I'm beginning to think Linux was a bad idea for me; I thought that just because DOS doesn't scare me I could do it. If anyone coul help me out or point me in the right direction, I'd be most thankful. Assuming that you have an ide/atapi cdrom, which someone said is true, and I think I read somewhere is true, then you probably need to make sure dselect or the installation program can find your cdrom. If it's connected to your soundcard's ide port, this may well be a problem. The best solution is to connect the cdrom to one of cables for the ide connectors that are attached to the motherboard. You can use a spare connector on your hard drive cable if it has one (some don't). Your cdrom may also need to be set for the position on the cable (master or slave), so read your cdrom manual or look at the switches or jumpers on it if they exist. Anways, when you're done with all that, see if the install program finds your cdrom. If you need to specify the cdrom device during install (I forget how that goes), let this be a guide, and if one doesn't work, try another. first ide port, master /dev/hda first ide port, slave /dev/hdb second ide port, master /dev/hdc second ide port, slave /dev/hdd I also would recommend you read a good Linux book and keep it close by.

There's also a book for new debian users you can buy or get a free copy of online, and you can find a link to it at the debian website, www.debian.org You will also want to become very familiar with the howto's man pages and other documentation which comes with linux.

Re: new hamm nmh breaks header rewriting, isp becomes irate

Unfortunately, the only way I've found to do that (without having a name registered with .dyn.ml.org) I've got a name, but my isp still bounces my mail if I use it, accusing me of attempting to use them as a relay. It's behavior like this that really gets me annoyed with spammers - things would be so much easier if people with mail servers didn't have to take these paranoid attitudes. ...is to rewrite /etc/smail/config each time ip-up is called. I found that setting visible_name to my isp's domain works: visible_name=win.bright.net I suppose this works; my problem with it is that then some mail messages generated locally will appear to have come from some account at your isp - I suppose this isn't usually something to worry about, but it just doesn't seem clean... One of these days I'm just going to get fed up and write a mailer designed for dialup systems which need to rewrite headers on the way out and may well have no consistent name... What does Win95 do? In general, it makes a lot of assumptions that a machine with a multiuser OS can't. In fact, the role smail fills simply doesn't exist on (most) Win '95 boxes - there is no MTA, and the MUA does both collection (from pop or imap boxes) and delivery. (Much in the way that pine might be used on a unix system without any smtp program). Win95 also never has to worry about local mail. (with only one user, where's it gonna go?) I'm drawing up a list of how I'd like a mail program to behave in my environment; so far, these are the requirements: Local mail is just delivered locally; no fuss or hassle about forwarding local mail on to one's ISP unless that's very explicitly requested. Headers (including the RFC822 envelope) are rewritten transparently and accurately. This means that, for example, Sender: lines from my machine would become something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] (i.e. the Sender: line would depend on the dns name of the ip address the message leaves the machine by), and that the From: line would match the envelope address, if the From: line was requested to be rewritten. Access to outgoing mail can be restricted for certain users; however, postmaster can opt to receive each bounced message and ok certain messages for delivery to the rest of the world. Another machine/other machines can be treated as local, and not subject to the rewritting rules. Mail relaying... I'm not certain what I'd want the behavior to be in this case - probably just disallow relaying entirely, except to/from local machines.

Kermit programs also have terminal emulations, user interfaces, scripting languages, and communications drivers where necessary. You can use these parts of kermit programs in the same way as, for example, minicom and never touch the kermit protocol if you wish, including error-uncorrected file transfer. The kermit protocol is open and anyone, or any program, can use it. (Yes, I've even used it myself, typing raw kermit packets into a vax for testing.) Various parts of the protocol are optional, and the protocol defines how to negotiate with another machine which capabilities are recognised and supported by both parties. By contrast the kermit transfer protocol in most programs is very slow because they only allow a maximum packet size of 93, and no sliding windows. That usually means that those programs are old, or that the author couldn't be bothered to support more capabilities, or wouldn't fork out for a book describing the protocol. Of course, kermit suffers from its own good design: because the dumbest implementation can interoperate with the most modern, the former is never forced to upgrade in order to accomodate the latter (unlike most software). You may need to upgrade for other reasons of course, e.g. not supporting modern line speeds. So perhaps by true kermit you just mean one with, say, long or extra long packets and sliding windows.

If you don't use gpm, you could comment out the reset program in the stm config file ... or, even if you do use gpm you could try this. I'll try it out on my Compaq monday at work. Until then, this is mostly conjecture. HTH, I have spent quite some time on this one. Reverting to the bo svgatextmode does not help. The thing that makes the difference is the particular font chosen. If I use 80x25, 80x25x9 or 80x25x8 I can still scroll right back to the bios messages.

Re: Console resolution (Was Viewing bootup message)
The 80x50 LILO can give me, also gives me 8x8 pixel characters. Using SVGATextMode I have 116x51 using 16x9 pixel characters. Readable characters are enough reason for me. I don't even remember what I am using in lilo but I am quite happy with it (bully for me). But if you haven't configured SVGATextMode properly it shouldn't start at all at boot time. First configure it and be confident that it really works on your hardware, then make it start at boot time. Maybe it shouldn't start but it DID start. I was more than surprised as I am all but certain that I did NOT explicitely choose to install SVGATextMode when in dselect. In any event it did install and the next time the machines was booted, consoles were fouled up. Upon reading the docs for the program and experiementing with it, I got it to work except for the corruption following a switch from X. I remember that there were some comments about switching back and forth and I am pretty sure that I tried at least some suggestions but to no avail. The 'bigger issue' to me was that even though I was pleased with flexibility provided for consoles, I don't like the idea of something that 'messes' with the console that can break single user mode. Thus, there was not much motivation for me to try to track down the X - SVGATextMode corruption. If I really felt a strong need to use it though, I would play around with how it is started so that it would not start automagically when in single user mode. While such a change is probably 'brutally simple', insuring that future updates of the package file did not 'undo' the change is, I think, not trivial. -- best, -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] from a 1996 Micro$loth ad campaign: The less you know about computers the more you want Micro$oft!

Executing a process on another virtual terminal

RFC1035 and MTA's
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else was feeling constrained in their choice of MTA's on debian because of complaints about RFC1035 and their FQDN. Neither smail or exim will work on my system, because, apparently, my domain name does not comply to RFC1035 (if this is so, neither does 3com.com or 1800flowers.com, etc. etc.).

Re: Debian Linux and Non-Free Packages.
Also on another note, does anyone knoe if there is a graphical front end to the ipfwadm (Firewall) program? If not then I am currently considering writing one. The current plan is to produce both a ncurses version, and a HTML version. But why reinvent the wheel if there is already one. I hope you'll put it under the GPL. Hope you wouldn't :) Since I wouldn't be able to create a Motif interface in case you put it under GPL. I am having a big problems with GPL'd software now: I am writing a Motif clone of WS_FTP and while the front-end is almost ready, I am forced to write my own back-end because the usable ftp software is GPL'd!

This would be a cheap in time/money approach for my wife and I simultaneously using Linux. It might be worthwhile finding a cheap 386 or 486 with a good graphics card.

You *will* need 2 network cards for this, but setting up two computers on a network under Linux is easier than some single-computer stuff. X is probably too slow over serial. (Just another option.) It is easy to plug in two mice, dodgy to plug in two monitors, but pretty much impossible to plug in two keyboards at the moment, IMO. A better option would be to look at the dxt package on sunsite- it is a nfsroot linux boot floppy that you can set up to run an X server on- I've hacked it up a bit, so it will use an X font server such- I may release it at some point in time.
