Icons in windows managers
For a long time, since two days after I first installed a pre 1.3 debian system, most of the icons in fvwm2 menus stopped working. Until the latest afterstep, only root could get all the icons in afterstep, but the latest afterstep improves this at least to some extent. Is this a permissions issue? I have waited for over half a year to bring this issue up, hoping that some package upgrade would solve it, but no luck until this afterstep upgrade (maybe).

Using Linux in a Corporate Environment - Any Developers?
SUMMARY: Has anyone created a business app in Linux/XWin (with something like Tcl/Tk)? Read on for details. Hi, my name is Jeff Alami; I am from Vancouver, Canada. At my workplace we are considering upgrading our current systems and software (mainly because we don't like the outsourced programmer). Allow me to brief you in our current implementation: - Main server: 486 DX/2-50, 16 MB RAM, Equinox Megaport 8CS multiport board. - Terminals: 5 text-based VT100 terminals connected to multiport board. - Software: SCO UNIX 3.2, Universal Business BASIC, code created for Business BASIC. We have two options; I like the first one better. I also calculated the approximate cost: (1) Linux implementation -- approx. cost: US $3000 (if X-terminals are bought used) excl. development - Main server: K6-233, 64 MB RAM, 6.4 GB HD, Network card, 8-port hub - Terminals: 4 or 5 X-terminals - Software: Debian Linux, XFree86, development environment such as Tcl/Tk (2) Wintel crap -- approx. cost: US $15,000 - Main server: same as (1) - Lots more computers - Software: WinNT, Borland Delphi 3 to develop interface, Oracle8. Now, I would love to do implementation (1); it will keep Microsoft off my back for a long time. The only thing about (1) is that I need to find someone who can develop (or has developed) a Linux/X Window application, possibly in Tcl/Tk or C, that does business operations, such as order entry, inventory control, general ledger, and so on. Thanks for all the help! I wish I am able to stay with Linux; it's a world-class OS.

In most cases, header files are included only with the -dev packages.
On my (hamm) system, tcl.h is in the tcl8.0-dev package; try
installing this or an equivalent package on your system.
ML So i thought, it would be a good idea to get the source from a
ML debian-server - but found none. Is there a .deb source-package for
ML Tcl/Tk?
There's not a general case of a .deb source package in the same
sense as an SRPM. Debian sources are distributed as a tarball
(ideally one downloaded from some upstream source) and a gzipped patch
file. If you download these two and the corresponding .dsc file, you
can use dpkg-source (in the dpkg-dev package) to unpack the source
tree. For hamm, you can find tcl8.0 sources at
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/tcl8.0_8.0p2{-2.diff.gz,-2.dsc,.orig.tar.gz}.
ML Do i need the source to compile other packages?
I wouldn't think so. Usually the -dev package is sufficient. (The
-dev package _should_ be sufficient.)
ML Is the non-debian source usable?
Probably; it's most likely identical to the tcl...orig.tar.gz file off
the ftp site. Note that if you build the source yourself, dpkg won't
know that you've installed tcl and will give you lots of dependency
errors. This is poor.

How can I make the reply action on the receivers end to show a different

Two ways - as some other mentioned, you can configure PINE with the
customized-hdrs option or you can use smail to rewrite your outgoing
headers.
I posted the header rewriting solution yesterday, but only on the german
Mailing list.
Here's how the header rewriting works:
First, add this router to your /etc/smail/routers file:
smart_host:
driver=smarthost, transport=smtp-remap;
path=mail.bingo.baynet.de
Next, you have to add the reffered transport in /etc/smail/transports:
smtp-remap:
driver=tcpsmtp, max_addrs=100, -max_chars, inet,
remove_header=From,
insert_header=From: ${lookup:from:lsearch{maps/[EMAIL
PROTECTED] ($from: $fullname)}},
remove_header=Message-ID,
insert_header=Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED],
insert_header=Sender: ${lookup:from:lsearch{maps/[EMAIL
PROTECTED] ($from: $fullname)}};
use_bind, defer_no_connect, -local_mx_okay, defnames
Here you have to replace [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your primary eMail address
for the case, that the sender could not be matched with the reffered from
map. Create the from map as /etc/smail/maps/from, it should look something
like that
root[EMAIL PROTECTED] (root)
dg [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Daniel Gross)
manu[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Manuela Gross)
This means, that every local user is matched to an external eMail address.
Test it, and mail me if you have any problems.

Can anyone think of a workaround? I hate to go back to bo. -- cut here -- Hello Jeff, I'm afraid I don't have a good answer for you. We have had a similar problem with Red Hat 5.0 and the following statement was made by our development manager: This release 2.0.XXX of Velocis will *not* be compatible with libc.6 (glibc-2) based Linux releases such as Red Hat 5.0. Because of the drastic nature of the changes to libc (and indirectly the thread library) in these versions, applications built to be compatbile with the earlier versions of Linux, such as 4.2, must continue to use the set of dynamic libraries included with libc.5 on previous Linuxes. However, because libpthread.0.5 and libpthread.0.6 cannot usefully coexist on the same system (since they have the same major version number) and libpthread.0.6 is linked to libc.6, the set of libraries needed by Velocis is not completely provided by the backward compatibility set of libraries. While this problem could probably have been worked around by a change in the linkage of some libraries to Velocis, it would have been of minimal value. This is the case because Velocis libraries are 'libc.5' libraries themselves and any database application requiring them would have to be built in a complete 'libc.5' development environment (i.e., compiler configuration, include files, libraries). While some piecemeal upgraded systems may have such a configuration, the distributions of the new versions of Linux (e.g., Red Hat 5.0) do not appear to include all the necessary components. Because of the drastic nature of the changes to libc as well as the substantial changes to headers and threading support incorporated in the newest versions of Linux, converting a large and complicated application such as Velocis to it and assuring its quality are not a trivial exercise, even disregarding the inevitable problems in such a substantially modified OS environment early in its own release cycle. It is Raima's goal to provide a high quality and usable product. Our evaluation of the above factors augmented by experiments with Red Hat 5.0 indicated that it would not be possible to meet these goals within the timeline of this release. It is our intention to have a libc.6 compatible version available with the next release of Velocis. In addition, I checked specifically with our Linux guru, and got this reply: This is pretty much the same problem that was originally affecting us on Red Hat 5.0. If for whatever reason the dynamic linker thinks you are linked to two different versions of libc, you die and die very early. As with Red Hat 5.0, unless the customer has a complete libc5 environment on his system (compilers, libraries, includes, etc.) he might as well not mess with it as he will be heading into the same morass that brought the Red Hat 5.0 customer to a stop. If he does by some chance have the full libc5 environment, this problem can probably be worked around, possible by messing with the dynamic library path. It may be that the Debian versions of the libc libraries are not so incompatible, but we cannot test that ourselves. My only other suggestion at this point would be to continue the evaluation on another platform. Scott Meder indicated to me that you also run with AIX, as well as Windows/NT. Both of these are included on the evaluation CD. -- cut here -- -- E-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

By default, lilo installs onto the MasterBootRecord, where the win95 boot record lives. If you accept this option, it will write over your win95 bootloader. There may be a backup copy of the MBR you can restore (or not, depending), but if you put lilo on the linux root partition, each bootloader has it's own space. Then you can make an entry for win95 in the lilo menu, so you won't need to change the bootable partition under ordinary conditions. Don't forget to flag the lilo partition as bootable.

Proper X Server...
Greetings, i have recently purchased a Diamond Stealth II S220. i was wondering what x-server to use. I've tried a few from the debian site but to no avail. If it is elsewhere, i would appreciate the site's address. It has 4MB SGRAM and RAMDAC of 170MHz and a Rendition Verite V2100 controller.

Re: Formating a ftape tape?
On Tue, 10 Mar 1998 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry, I should have checked the HOWTO first, jeez... 4.8. Can I format my tapes under Linux? No! That applies to the version of ftape which is included in the kernel. ftape-3.04d, which is installed as modules, has this capability. The Ftape-HOWTO is in need of updating, obviously. From the FTAPE-FAQ: 3.3. Do I have to reboot to the DOS world to format tapes? Not if you are using the latest version of the Ftape drivers from the Ftape Home Page. To format a QIC-80, TR-1, TR-3, QICWide 3010 or 3020 tape, make sure that the Ftape-format module is loaded and use the special version of the mt utility included with Ftape in the contrib/gnumt directory. Use the ftformat option with an optional argument that is interpreted as follows: ftmt ftformat 0 keep the existing header information, DON'T erase the tape prior formatting it. ftmt ftformat 1 keep the existing header information and erase the tape prior formatting it. ftmt ftformat 2 DON'T keep the existing header information, DON'T erase the tape. ftmt ftformat 3 DON'T keep the existing header information, but erase the tape prior to formatting it. ftformat without parameter is synonymous to ftformat 1 NOTE: Do not try to format Ditto 2GB tapes.

possible network attack question
Hi, In the last few weeks I have been receiving the following message in syslog with increasing frequency Mar 10 22:19:46 garfield kernel: eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, status 7fffceff! I have been told that this is normal and should not worry me. However, as the frequency has increased dramatically, I was wondering aboutwhat it actually is and secondly whether it could be some sort of attack from the net. I have the iplogger package and it reports nothing suspicious. Could it be something that iplogger is not designed to notice ? Any help would be appreacited as this is really buffling me Thanks George --- George Kapetanios Churchill College Cambridge, CB3 0DSE-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] U.K. WWW: http://garfield.chu.cam.ac.uk/~gk205/work_info.html --- -- E-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.

Re: Tcl/Tk source ?
I wondered if there is a way to 'mimic' install/remove with dpkg? Thanks, Mac If you go to /var/lib/dpkg, you will find a file called status. This appears to be how dselect keeps track of what's installed/configured/etc. The format is pretty self explanitory, so you should be able to hack the status line of the package in question, fooling dselect into thinking it installed the package. Mucking with status file is a Very Bad Idea (tm). There was ascii2deb utility floating around in random .deb files ;-) a while ago. It does not seem to be present in hamm. There is also an equivs package available in hamm which should do the job well. Due to its nature, you should be safe with installing it on a bo system (it does not use libc6 and such) -- Proudly running Debian Linux!

Re: Smail/Sendmail Question
Hi, mfrattola == mfrattola [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, mfrattola == mfrattola [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: mfrattola Am I right in thinking local is used only for localhost mfrattola bound mail? Where does all this magic come from? Do I have mfrattola to hand edit sendmail.conf by hand? (any m4 shortcut?) Yes. You can make believe more machines are local by adding to sendmail.cw, but then that mail shall be filed locally. This is not what you need. mfrattola Thank you for your answer. It seems to me (from other mfrattola messages) that smail is easier to manage WRT this problem mfrattola (with routers, directors and the like). Problem is I don't mfrattola like smail (and recent problems with newer smail don't make mfrattola me like it more). What I'd like sendmail to do is: mfrattola localhost mail deliver locally don't rewrite header mfrattola LAN mail deliver thru eth0 don't rewrite header mfrattola internet mail deliver thru ppp0 rewrite header This is possible by a) defining mailers, and modifying sendmail.cf to add a inexpensive smtp mailer (copy the smtp mailers and call them lsmtp et akk b) look at ruleset 1 and prevent rewrites for the LAN, while allowing rewrites for external addresses The ppp vs eth0 should be handled by the networking setup, and should not be a part of the MTA's chores. This is easy if you grok sendmail.cf, like some of us oldtimers. Unfortunately, sendmail.cf mastery is a dying art.
