[off-topic] not only a server, what hardware?
Hi All! I have managed to promote Debian in a small but expanding firm (currently a dozen systems). They have old Novell Net and Samba at the moment, but they like Linux and want to change somehow. They allow me to give them a wishlist for a Debian System, and they'll buy it, and now I really need some help here. TASKS: File Server, Print Server, Internet Connection per ISDN (so this would work as a Gateway Firewall) (light load), File Backup, and probably to be used at Workstation, too (login, probably with X for Windows) If you could take a quick look at the following lists and comment on it, I would be very grateful. Pentium = 166, probably not so important RAM = 64, probably more (96?, 128?) SCSI discs, 2 or more each 2-4 GB. Is buslogic available in Germany? Other good brands? Mainboard ASUS Normal architecture or PS/2 (is PS/2 well supported?) What is a good Graphic card (they'll need a good one) is Matrox Millenium well supported? Other brands? What is a good backup device? What is a good network card (they will switch to a faster network soon, at the moment they use NE2000 compatible cards, but I recall something with 100Mbps or so). There was a ISDN producer who support Linux, can someone recall the name? (If not, ISDN Teles 16.3 will certainly work) Other things (as CD-ROM, Monitor, etc) I do not expect problems with. Should I?

SCSI discs, 2 or more each 2-4 GB. Is buslogic available in Germany? Other good brands? BusLogic SCSI adapter and either Western Digital or Quantum Atlas II HDD. You might want to try BL FlashPoint adapter. Mainboard ASUS Good. Normal architecture or PS/2 (is PS/2 well supported?) No problem with that. What is a good Graphic card (they'll need a good one) is Matrox Millenium well supported? Other brands? Matrox Millenium II would be the best bet, I guess. What is a good backup device? What is a good network card (they will switch to a faster network soon, at the moment they use NE2000 compatible cards, but I recall something with 100Mbps or so). Go for some tulip - based cards (like SMC or Kingston). The driver is very good and evolving.

could get you the raw data; then you could postprocess this data

Re: HELP: Newbie needs help with crash
Go ahead, and run e2fsck, but read the man page first! I don't guarantee anything for you here (disclaimer) and am not a LINUX expert, but it did work for me when I received similar error messages. Read those man pages. If you can't do so on your Debian LINUX OS, the man pages are on the Web, too, if you have access to another OS. Actually, I must admit, though, that I proceeded with e2fsck without reading the man at the time, although I wouldn't suggest doing so in reaction to _any problem_ for anyone else. :-) _Art [Charset ISO-8859-1 unsupported, filtering to ASCII...] My computer just seized up (cursor frose; ctrl-alt bksp and ctrl-alt del did nothing).

Re: [off-topic] not only a server, what hardware?
Hello! First let me thank you all (only one reply for all to save bandwidth). Good News: About three hours ago I got the okay, that they will start a project replacing the ol' Novell with Debian. Some of them are a bit sceptical, but I'm sure they will be surprised and beaten by the stability (isn't too hard - the Novell server goes down three times a day, or gets simply stuck. And they don't have heavy load).

I am not an expert, but the kernel that comes with the standard
disribution has the IOMEGA Zip drive ppa parallel port driver builtin.
This isincompatible with the lp driver. You possibly {probably?} need
to generate a custom kernel to print via the parallel port.
There is a kernel package (kernel-package) that makes this very
easy to do.
For my own system I configured the kernel to have both ppa (the zip
driver using the parallel port) and lp (the parallel port printe
driver) both set up asmodules. This allows me to, one at a time,
use the zip drive or use the printer.
The development version of the linux kernel (2.1.*) has the ability
to do both at the same time according to ads.
Hope this helps

Re: loading support for 2 ethernet cards
Yeah, it's a bit unclear at first. What you want to do is put the information on the append line, like this: append=mem=96M ether=10,0x300,eth0 ether=11,0x2e0,eth1 I'd recommend you put in the real values rather than 0,0 - that enables autoprobing and let's face it, you do want to know which interface is which, don't you? I hope this helps. By the way, my two cards are 3C509B's. How do you know which card is going to end up getting which values is it in the system bios? How do you know exactly what the values arelucky guess? I'm using two 3c905's with the latest patch to 3c59x.c from D. Becker inserted into the kernel sources before compiling a custom kernel. What I was planning to do was the old empiric method...if: 1--A and 2--B doesn't work, why then I'll just connect 1--B and 2--A !!!

Question about Debian configuration

Now I have to do all by myself. 8-) So, here are the problems: 1. I have a 3-button mouse that works as MS mouse with 2 buttons or 3-button in PC mode. This is what is written on the mouse's box. I have never seen in the configuration of gpm or xmouse the possibility to choose a PC mouse with 3 buttons. Nevertheless, gpm recognize the 3rd button if I set it like this: gpm -m /dev/ttyS0 -t ms Question: How do I set the X mouse to see the third button (now I am using the emulation, but I don't like that) ? 2. I have an external modem, an US Robotics Sportster Flash at 56K. I also have this e-mail account: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Under Win95 I have made an dial-up connection set with Server assigned IP address and Server assigned name server address. Question: How do I set these under Debian ? I have understood that for the IP I have to put 0.0.0.0 in the /etc/init.d/network. What value do I have to put for the DNS (for this server assigned DNS) ? 3. When I play my audio CDs, very often the CD is jumping (like with an old LP). Under Win95 everything is fine.

hamm installation
I don't know whether or not this is the right place for this, but I had some problems installing hamm on my system. As I do not yet want to drop my bo system, I decided to try it out on a looped filesystem. I have recompiled a 2.0.32 kernel with looproot support (patch from linuxhq.com). Installing bo to a looped filesystem is easy: mount it in tty2 on /target and press (twice) ESC in dinstall. Now pressing ESC twice in dinstall doesn't make dinstall re-examine the state of the installation. Executing a shell and then returning to dinstall seems to have the same effect, but then dinstall still doesn't see the looped fs on /target (bo installation had no problem with that). I then run losetup /dev/loop1 /hda6/loopfs.lin/hammloop.img, hoping dinstall might see the /dev/loop1 alongside with /dev/hda1,2,5,6 and 7 devices... It didn't. At last I got it installed, but not quite easy: first I tried to remove /dev/hda7 and ln /dev/loop1 /dev/hda7, but then dinstall tried to mount /dev/hda7 as a MSDOS filesystem (/dev/hda7 is an ext.DOS partition allright, but now /dev/hda7 was hardlinked to /dev/loop1). It seems that dinstall looks at the partition info of the hard disk to determine the type of the partition. As I do have an ext2 filesystem /dev/hda5, I chose that one to mount as a previously initialized partition, the executed a shell, unmounted /dev/hda5, removed /dev/hda5 and hardlinked it to /dev/loop1 and mounted it again. Exiting the shell resulted (finally) in being able to copy and install all the rest of the stuff. Maybe someone can do something about it, so that installing to anything mounted on /target should be possible, like in bo.

Hello, I have german and english manpages on my system. And I use LC_ALL and LANG for german local settings. If there is a german manpage for a certain topic, the corresponding english page isn't shown in favour of the german one. Unfortunately, sometimes the german manpage isn't complete or uptodate. Is it possible to get the english manpages without resetting LC_ALL and LANG?

Re: hamm installation
M.C. Bezemer wrote: I don't know whether or not this is the right place for this, but I had some problems installing hamm on my system. As I do not yet want to drop my bo system, I decided to try it out on a looped filesystem. I have recompiled a 2.0.32 kernel with looproot support (patch from linuxhq.com). Installing bo to a looped filesystem is easy: mount it in tty2 on /target and press (twice) ESC in dinstall. Now pressing ESC twice in dinstall doesn't make dinstall re-examine the state of the installation. Executing a shell and then returning to dinstall seems to have the same effect, but then dinstall still doesn't see the looped fs on /target (bo installation had no problem with that). I then run losetup /dev/loop1 /hda6/loopfs.lin/hammloop.img, hoping dinstall might see the /dev/loop1 alongside with /dev/hda1,2,5,6 and 7 devices... It didn't. At last I got it installed, but not quite easy: first I tried to remove /dev/hda7 and ln /dev/loop1 /dev/hda7, but then dinstall tried to mount /dev/hda7 as a MSDOS filesystem (/dev/hda7 is an ext.DOS partition allright, but now /dev/hda7 was hardlinked to /dev/loop1). It seems that dinstall looks at the partition info of the hard disk to determine the type of the partition. As I do have an ext2 filesystem /dev/hda5, I chose that one to mount as a previously initialized partition, the executed a shell, unmounted /dev/hda5, removed /dev/hda5 and hardlinked it to /dev/loop1 and mounted it again. Exiting the shell resulted (finally) in being able to copy and install all the rest of the stuff. Maybe someone can do something about it, so that installing to anything mounted on /target should be possible, like in bo.

hamm upgrade gone sour -cry for help
Yesterday I decided to take the plunge I ftp'd the entiret of the hamm/binary-i386 directory and with a little bit of directory setup... burned it onto a CD I then brough tit home from work and updated my bo system to a hamm system I first mounted the CD and used autoup.sh (latest version) from the CD... this went almost flawlessly at this point I had problems with dselect so I used dpkg to manually install a few things first...then used dselect then a few more manual installs and I think everyhting that wasn't locally installed was updated I did the utmp/wtmp fixbut here is the first problem... it doesn't seem to have worked whenever I run finger or w it reports that noone is logged on (yes I rebooted a few times) thinking about it nowI am using kernel 2.0.29 from my old bo system because I have OSS/Linux and I only have th e2.0.29 version (yes I know I need to upgrade) and it is a custom built kernel and it was built against the libc5 systemcould that be part of the problem? maybe I should get a new OSS/Linux licence for 2.0.33 (actually im tempted since I have th ekernel sources to goto 2.1.81 or so...) but I have a worst problem than that even if finger doesn't work im not too worried...I mean I can logon and do things the problem is e-mail I used a setup as follows: I have a ppp link to my ISP that is only up a few hours a day when I am there. my ppp scripts start and kill named on their own (since I have found named causes problems when I am not online as I have it setup as its own nameserver with no forwarders) I had sendmail setup to get mail and give it to me I had the debian pop3 server running ...with netscape pointed at the pop3 server on localhost (basically ...if im not online and I accidently hit get messages it wont bitch at me) the last link was fetchmail I had fetchmail get my ISP mail and deliver it The whole system worked fine until the upgrade I ran getmail (my wrapper script...it is litterally a 1 liner that runs fetchmail -S 127.0.0.1 -a ) fetchmail reported I have 60 messages on home.gis.net (gis.net being my ISP) then it went through and delievred them all... unfortunately I never recieved any of them...I typed frm and saw I had no mail...I ran netscape...no mail... I did a cat /var/spool/mail/sjc and got an empty file I even checked /var/log/mail.log and saw that all of the messages were accepted for delivery!!! somehow sendmail delivered my mail to elbonia my question is this... I hve sendmail and fetchmail... I am online only a few hours a day (from that machine) what is the proper sendmail config to get things working right???

Craig, I have given this some thought. I did not yet read the relevant documentation, but I'll try to summarize a bit what was suggested by you and the other. The hardware list is now complete, thank you all for helping out. I think, the following would do a good work: machine 1) gateway/firewall spare machine, notably one ISDN card, one ethernet card. Software: ipppd (will call automagically) firewall all outer services (if any, like anonymous ftp, apache) (I'm not sure about this, because of security) ((squid)) machine 2) file and print server medium processor, lot of ram, lot of diskspace, medium graphic card, backup device one or more ethernet cards Software: Network server software (samba, mars whatever) backup software IP masquerading machine 3) workstation good graphic card, enough ram, diskspace for software, one ethernet card Software: xdm, secure login quake and co ;) All machines running debian 2.0 Probably it would be better to have another machine just for backup (with afbackup) in some completely different room. If someone wants to comment on this, I would appreciate it. It's not a performance issue - a well configured debian box can easily handle all of those tasks - it's a security issue. the fewer services running on your firewall, the less likely it is that a newly discovered security hole can be exploited. This leads to the question if outer services should run inside the network or on the gateway/firewall.

From a TeXinfo source file, you can also make DVI (and from that, PS); use the texi2dvi program (from tetex-bin). For GNU software, the TeXinfo sources for documentation come with the source package.

This is done by setting the environment variable DISPLAY to client_network_address:display_number.

Problem in vfat_rmdirx
I'm running kernel 2.0.32 and I'm sharing my disk with Win95. The partition that I share with Windoze is VFAT and it works fine under Linux, except that of course (?) different read/write/execute priviledges don't work on it. My problem is that every now and again the kernel says this: Problem in vfat_rmdirx It doesn't seem to do anything else, and the system carries on as usual, but I'm just worried that there might be something wrong going on.

Re: Debian vs. FreeBSD

From what I hear from other admins, ex-Linux admins, freebsd is easier to maintain, more secure, and more stable than Linux. Linux is more fun and I guess the more 'in' thing with a LOT more hardware support and generally more software support.

I don't think they need those fast lines, but some business man has suggested a) 100Mbps lines and b) a router. Summa sumarum this would cost 3.500 $. Is this useful for such a small park? (In my opinion, they would be better off to invest the money in three linux machines.) Oh the 10/100 Mbit discussion again. I think that 100 Mbit's are not worth the money. You'll get 10/100 Mbit cards cheap as dirt but the network equipment (hubs, switches, etc) are really expensive in my opinion. A normal (repeated not switched) 10Mbit network will make about 700-800 kByte/s and a 100Mbit (also not switched) will make only 2-3 kByte/s. So it's not factor 10 it's only factor 3-4. With a 10Mbit ethernet switch you will get the whole 1 MByte/s that 10Mbit will make. And the 10Mbit switches are also cheap whereas the 100Mbit switches are expensive. My 5 cents.

Re: Help: How can I recover /etc/aliases from /etc/aliases.db?

If you are using dbm, you might be able to use the db_dump command.
Here is a little piece of the manpage for it:

db_dump - the DB database dump utility
Thanx for the tip.
In the meantime, I've came up with an alternate way to do it:
---cut here---
#!/usr/bin/perl
$db=aliases.db;
use DB_File;
use Fcntl qw/O_RDWR O_CREAT/;
tie %popdb,DB_File,$db,O_RDWR|O_CREAT,0640,$DB_HASH
or die can't tie $db: $!\n;
while (($key,$val) = each %popdb) {
print $key: $val\n;
}
untie %popdb;
exit 0;
---cut here---

Re: new GPL freeware
I wrote a X-client freeware program and I don't know how to distribute it. Grab it at the forever unknown: http://www.villagrove.com/~lance/ There are several things you can do: * Announce it on comp.os.linux.announce. * Upload it to sunsite.unc.edu. * Become a Debian maintainer, and package it as part of the Debian distribution. * Convince an existing Debian maintainer to package it. I would do this myself, but I never package programs that I don't personally use, because then I might neglect them. These are just a few of your options, but they ought to give you a head start. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Debian vs. FreeBSD
On Thu, Mar 05, 1998 at 12:39:22PM -0500, Carroll Kong wrote: I have both FreeBSD and Debian installed. I will use Debian and Linux interchangably... from what I hear and so far I already begin to feel (i haven't used freebsd nearly as much as linux), that FreeBSD is a more structured OS. From what I hear from other admins, ex-Linux admins, freebsd is easier to maintain, more secure, and more stable than Linux. I too have both FreeBSD and Linux installed, although I have only recently installed FreeBSD myself. While FreeBSD may have a more structured kernel (I do not know) I feel that the file system layout on Debian is more structured. FreeBSD installs significant parts of the system during initial install into /usr/local; my local expert tells me that's because that's the way traditional Unix does it. On Debian, I think we do things right, which can mean different to the traditional unix way if necessary. FreeBSD seems to have the base system, and packages, and ports. Packages are like ours, installed with the package manager. However there are not nearly as many packages for FreeBSD as there are for Debian (or not in 2.2.5 anyway). But FreeBSD has the ports collection, which is another significant collection of software. But this software must be fetch compiled when you need it; the port just provides the patches to make it compile. And while this might seem to be better than a precompiled package, it still seems to be upstream-version specific. Linux is more fun and I guess the more 'in' thing with a LOT more hardware support and generally more software support. (there is the freebsd linux binary emulator) Just for the record, I run Linux as my main personal os. :) I have certainly had a lot more luck with hardware. I have not been able to get my PnP SB16 nor my parallel ZIP drive working with FreeBSD 2.2.5 yet, although I have both compiled into the kernel. The traditional advantages of FreeBSD are networking and stability. I am yet to see any advantage over Linux though, but I am not running huge servers. I have had Linux machines with 180+ day uptime (which ended due to power cycle) and I am happy enough with that.

Need help installing master boot code into extended Linux partiti on
I would like to install Linux on my machine without disrupting my multiboot configuration. Currently I have an OS/2 boot manager, an NTFS primary partition running NT WKSTN 4.0 and a FAT32 primary partition running WIn95B. I would am planning on resizing these partitions using partion magic to make about 500M free space at the end of my hard drive. If it is possible, I would like to install Linux into this partition and add it to the OS/2 boot manager's menu so I can boot all three operating systems from the same boot manager. Last time I tried to install Debian linux I ran into a problem where the boot record did not get copied into the linux partition because the linux partition resided in an extended partition, therefore the only way I could boot Linux was with a startup disk. I dug into the documentation on the web and remember seeing something about how there is a procedure to get the boot record into an extended linux partition, but I wasn't able to find these instruction. So if anybody is familiar with this issue and knows the solution, or where to download it, I would appreciate your help greatly. I can't wait to run linux!... I just can't afford to toast my other OS's just yet becaue I rely on them to get work done. Thanks, Seth -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

SSI and Apache
Yo- I have Apache running but I am not having luck getting Server Side Includes to work. If I embed the code in a .shtml page and then ask for the page it simply dispalys the source on the browser. I was wondering if I may have missed a config parameter in the Apache config. I looked but didn't see it. Anyone know what might be wrong? Thanks in advance! -Ian _ Ian K.

Re: Compiling Kernel 2.0.32
