Compilar el Kernel
Hola a todos : Acabo de compilar el kernel con éxito y creo que ya funciona mi tarjeta de sonido GUS MAX (todo un logro, porque soy un novato de linux), pero el problema es que ahora ya no no tengo soporte ppp (menos mal que hice copia del antiguo nucleo). Al seleccionar la configuración con make xconfig me debí de saltar algo (la mitad de las selecciones no las entendía). Al grano : Creo que estas utilidades están poco documentadas para novatos como yo (incluso el HOW-TO-Kernel). ¿ Hay algún lugar donde expliquen bien como compilar y seleccionar los drivers adecuados para el núcleo ?

Re: e2fslibsg conflicts with e2fsprogs (hamm) | APT
I did an 'apt-get upgrade', and apt went ahead and removed e2fslibsg in favour of e2fsprogs without any messages or warnings. So now I have no e2fslibsg, but everything seems to be fine, what will happen if I have to reboot? Thanks, Timothy PS, for the developers: apt-get upgrade is really cool!

Re: Diety / Apt Questions.
First, thanks alot for everyones help! I am presuming that you want to run programs that open windows on the X-display that you have already logged into as a 'normal user', yes? The 'xhost +localhost' (or any other host that you are using on your network) is a good solution (probably the best). IF you are not running multiple X displays on your machine then a simple technique is to 'su' in an xterm, 'cp /home/user/.Xauthority /root' which will then let root open things on your display. So does root get to keep my user's .Xauthority file permanently then? Or is .Xauthority periodically generated? (Man -k xauthority and variations thereof return nothing. :(...) And what does the .Xsession file that someone was talking about do? (No luck with man and that file either) SNIP BTW, unless I am mistaken, you never need to do the 'export DIPLAY' command unless you are trying to open a display on a display OTHER than the on that you are using to issue the command. So if I am logged into a remote computer telnet, could I do xhost +remotecomputer on mine, and export DISPLAY=myipaddr on remote, and then start some X program on remote and have it send the display to my Xserver? thanks, Timothy -- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 02-May-98 Time: 19:32:05 This message was sent by XFMail.

Could I make a symlink from /var/cache/apt/archives to another drive/partition with more space and let it keep the cached archives there? You could. it no longer keeps the files after downloading them though. 3. If apt retrieves a newer version of a package and stores it as usual in the archives directory, does it delete the older one? or does that directory grow without limit?

Introductory security texts - ssh, tcpd, tripwire?
Hi, I'm looking for a basic document describing how to take some basic (but important) steps towards securing your computer. Something that describes to the new user how to use things like tcpd, ssh, tripwire, and other things to keep their system secure. Something that is not comprehensive, but that would take the person through some of the more important things that can make the system reasonably secure, at least from attackers who are not determined. This sounds like it would be quite an effort to write myself.. And I'm not sure I have as much experience as I'd like..

This happens to me occasionally if I accidentally cat an executable file. But today it happened when I mounted an msdos floppy, and tried to do 'ls'. When this happens the VC it happens on is useless and the characters are only normal again when I reboot.

For example, if I partitioned my drive like: /dev/hda1 /dev/hda2 /dev/hda5 /dev/hda6 /dev/hda7 I wouldn't be able to install to or access the /dev/hda7 partition from the installation program. --- Paul Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Public PGP key at http://paul.3dillusion.com/pgpkey.txt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I tried amanda but had problems storing the dos partition. afbackup support easy invocation of incremental and full backup, it uses the backup set (I use 10 tapes) as a virtual gigantic tape and will write the backup to the end of the current tape and request a new one. Description: Client-Server Backup System (Server side) This is a client-server backup system offering several workstations a centralized backup to a special backup server. Backing up only one computer is easily possible, too. Any streaming device can be used for writing the data to it, usually this will be a tape device. Writing backups is normally done sequentially: The next writing to tape goes to the end of the previous write no matter where you have restored from in the meantime. . Features: - Authentication of the client is performed before it can take over control - Access restriction for the streamer device - security - Client-side per-file compression - reliability - Data stream is written to tape in pieces - fast finding of files - Tape position logging for each file - Tape capacity is fully used - Full / incremental backups - Raw partitions can be backuped - Client and Server buffering for maximal throughput is done . Note: Tk is required if you want to use the graphical configuration tool instead of the text configuration tool. If I rebuild the whole machine (e.g., replacement of a hard disc and repartioning everything) I use tar to make a complete backup. Fortunatly, the last backup was just 2.6 GB and fitted on my 90m DDS2 tape (with hardware compression). (*) I suggest not to use a version prior this, as a lot of things have changed (location of backup infos, file names, manpages). On a BO system fetch the debian source and compile it by yourself.

I have a 1.2 system that I want to upgrade, but I need it to be dependable, so I am waiting for the final release. From what you just said, you question would better be worded: When will 2.x be reasonably stable for a non-experimental user? As a non-developer, let me give you my best estimate: Never. History will probably repeat itself and the project will go even further away from this planet. Rather than focus on building a 2.0.x release that kicks ass, they will concentrate on playing with new toys. I keep seeing messages abut bugs that *must* be fixed, yet I notice the next genertaion of Debian slink continues to grow on the ftp site. And the changes are too frequent for ordinary people to keep up with it. I am concerned that they could lose full mirror sites. You have to consider the load on a mirror site could be unacceptable. Check out some of the mirrors and see if they are complete and up to date. I did this a while back and was not pleased at all. I was brought to debian by 2 things. One was the package system/upgrade handling, but the other was that at the time I was looking Debian was the only release with full elf. Same here, but I have resorted to only using dpkg. Dselect is needing some updates. One of the major needs is the ability to span multiple volumes. Suppose, I have a CD with main and contrib, another with non-free, another with non-us, and a zip disk with local packages. To make it more interesting suppose someone else gives me a CD or zip disk with updates only to all the above sections. If I had enough CD and zip drives to mount all these volumes, I could create a debian directory with a few files and symlinks to the mounted volumes. But most of us don't have the available hardware for such workarounds. To make it even worse, hamm is so big that you can't make an i386 CD with install, main, and contrib. How does this affect the expected release date of an _acceptable_ 2.0 ? Is debian now trailing the stae of the art (libc6) instead of leading? Shouldn't more effort be being put on fixing thes bugs, and not on geting the developers still furthe away from the users? Remember the 'Debian rides the space shuttle' news releases? They referred to the software being used in space. Maybe the upcoming news will be that the project itself is lost in outer space. Then there is the matter of this list. It doesn't seem oriented towards users of stable. Bo users deserve highest priority for debian to be recognized as valid alternative to other distributions. People who want/need to use anything from unstable should discuss it on other existing lists or a new one (debian-chat) that should be created. If so many users cannot get by with what is available in stable, it is time to put the stuff in bo-updates and bo-unstable along with some additional goodies into bo (debian 1.4). I thought this was going to be a distribution that easily upgraded in place? It is for people like me who know how to download upstream source and build it, but what about the others? I would like to encourage others to use this distribution, but that usually means I will have to do too much work installing, configuring, and maintaining their system.

hamm and pon,pppd,chat
Ag!!! I'm stuck with Winbloat95!! I've recently upgraded to hamm and so far I have no problems until. I've installed the pppd patch. and it converted my old chatsript. Now my problem is, my ISP disconnects me when I logon. What's my fault guys??? I've tried to edit /etc/chatscripts/provider and it's my old ppp.chatscript so I left it that way. Do I need additional libraries??? like libpam? or something??? I think I have not installed libpam version of ppp. Anyway if it's needed I'll somehow try to figure out howto get it to my linux partition. I haven't downloaded that package though. I can live with manual connections, without the chatscripts, but show me how guys. I don't know how to do manual connection. Thanks! Richard L.

Re: hamm and pon,pppd,chat
Hi, Does your chatscript contain noauth ? The hamm pppd package has auth enabled in the default /etc/ppp/options file, and for most ISPs it must be disabled either in the options file or in the chatscript. Does your ISP use PAP? If so look at /usr/doc/ppp/README.debian.gz for guidance. The easiest way to get ppp working is to get the package pppconfig. It is in the hamm/hamm/binary-all/admin/ directory on the mirrors, as pppconfig_*.deb. Of course, it won't be easy to download it if you can't get connected to the net. :-( Bob From: Kechie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 4 May 1998 01:57:17 +0800 Ag!!! I'm stuck with Winbloat95!!

Rather than focus on building a 2.0.x release that kicks ass, they will concentrate on playing with new toys.

Bear in mind that the Debian developers are volunteers, and I've found over the last 18 months of using Debian that they are extremely helpful, hardworking volunteers. Please, instead of spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt in this manner make a positive contribution, either by helping to fix problems you see in the distribution yourself, or choosing another distribution which fits your needs more perfectly. I feel that the effort that is being made to make hamm actually stable before it is declared as such is very commendable. If I wanted a rush job I would go out and buy Red Hat. I don't. I want a high-quality distribution with top-grade reliability and a large selection of packages (the so-called 'toys' you complained about).
