Linux sin bash
Hola a la lista. Hace un par de semanas, tuve un problema al instalar unos paquetes, pedi ayuda a la lista, y con las indicaciones que recibi, consegui recuperarlo. Ahora envio una descripcion detallada de como lo hice. (Me estoy dando cuenta ahora, de que se anexar ficheros, pero no copiar y pegar el contenido). Espero que no le pase a nadie lo mismo, pero si sirve para algo mi experiencia, pues ahi va. Saludos Empezamos con la maquina: Ordenador P150 32 Mb CD 10x 1 HD de 1,7 Gb con dos particiones, una de ellas con W95 y la otra con Linux distribucion Debian 1.3.1 actualizada a hamm mediante downloads, 1 HD de 256 Mb con dos particiones de swap para Linux, al uso solo una de ellas. Problema: Compilacion de bash, una vez finalizada, la instalacion de la libreria libreadlineg2 falla, y el sistema se queda con una sesion de root abierta, y sin bash, la solucion hubiera pasado por no cerrar esa sesion, descargar bash desde otro ordenador y reinstalar, pero por error, cierro la unica sesion abierta, y quedo sin posibilidad de entrar. Panico, en el trabajo tengo otro ordenador con Linux para uso de correo corporativo, es un sistema casi gemelo, si me ocurre algo parecido alli, me despellejan. Estoy apuntado a la lista debian-user-spanish (magnifica sugerencia de Santiago Vila), envio correo pidiendo ayuda, y recibo cantidad de sugerencias: instalacion paralela, discos de arranque, cantidad de cosas, que a toro pasado, lamento no haber hecho. Como no tengo muy claro como empezar, imprimo todos los mensajes, y me los llevo a casa. Alli, utilizando W95, descargo libreadlineg2 y bash, y lo paso a disquete, y despues, se me ocurre usar la particion de swap que no uso para instalar Debian 1.3.1, instalo tambien binutils, y mtools (me han dicho en la lista que necesitare ar y utilidades para recuperar los ficheros que he pasado a disquete). Hago un directorio y con mcopy descargo los ficheros. Despues de hacer esto, creo otro directorio, y monto la particion del Linux que esta malito (mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 /otro). Cojo y hago ar x 'paquetes.deb', y obtengo unos ficheros *.tar.gz, que contienen los ficheros a instalar en sus correspondientes directorios, con sus links y tal. La primera idea es ir extrayendolos, e ir colocandolos en su sitio (partiendo del montaje de sistema de ficheros anterior), pero lo que termino haciendo es dpkg -i --root=/otro (recordar que en /otro esta montada la particion de Linux que no tiene bash), por el tema de dependencias, empiezo por libreadlineg2, y se instala, salen uno cuantos mensajes de error, pero se instala. Momentos de gran emocion, arranco con el disco de rescate de Debian 1.3.1 (en relidad con el CD, que es arrancable), y monto root=/dev/hda2, y sorpresa, puedo entrar, salen algunos mensajes de simbolos que no puede cargar desde librerias compartidas (ya los he visto en algun otro paquete compilado con egcc). Como el paquete bash, lo tengo compilado, lo reinstalo, y ya esta, solucionado.
sendmail
Hola a la lista. Me gustaria saber si se podria configurar el sendmail, para que enviara un mensaje al remitente, cuando la entrega de un mensaje fuera correcta, al igual que hace, cuando falla la misma entrega. Estoy mirando la documentacion, pero no encuentro nada. Saludos. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yo utilizo el psnup, que no sé si pertenece o no a las pstools. Para imprimir ficheros ASCII (de texto, vamos) utilizo el a2ps (¿sección Non-free?). Esto saca al menos dos páginas en una, formateadas y con números de línea. Es ideal para programas. Claro, esto trabaja sólo con ficheros PostScript. ¡Pero no hay problema! Podemos imprimir ficheros PostScript en impresoras que no sean PostScript con el programa ghostscript. A modo de ejemplo: nuestro viejo 486 con Debian está simulando una PostScript en color (realmente es una Epson, creo) y dando servicio a varios Windows e incluso a varios Macintosh. Tengo entendido que el nuevo ghostscript permite transformar ficheros PostScript en formato gif (¿o era jpeg?).

Bueno, voy al GRANO.. a)Me gustaria poder acceder a mi disquetera con Debian, es decir, el tipo de sistema de archivos que posee y posteriormente, como acceder a ella.. , ya que no puedo hacer 'cd /dev/fd0' pues me dice que no es un directorio. Al verlo con ls, me aparece que fd0 es de tipo 'b' ¿que es eso? No es un directorio, ni un archivo, ni un link... b)No puedo iniciar X al instalar el Debian. Al intentar elegir el servidor X no encuentro el correspondiente a mi tarjeta grafica (sis6202) y elijo el generico VGA16, pero al intentar generarme el X86Config da un error ya que no encuentra el fichero 'ximitrc' c)Para instalar debian1.3.1 he usado el cd-rom de instalacion que traia la revista Linux Actual (creedme, no cobro comision alguna), por si alguien lo ha instalado antes que yo y puede ayudarme Gracias por vuestra paciencia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

How to build Debian Linux cluster?
Hi, I have a question about organising Debian Linux cluster for small physics experiment. Half a year ago we bought a PC and I am running Debian 2.0 on it. My colleagues who usually work on X-terminals noticed certain advantages of PC compared to X-terminal and basically the idea is instead of buying extra 5 X-terminals to buy 5 PC. I think I understand how to maintain single-computer system, but I have very little experience with clusters. So far they want PC just to be an X-terminal, but I beleive they will be interested in it's computing power very soon. Questions: 1. What is better: one powerfull central computer surrounded by many little ones? OR democratic society of equal computers? 2. Is it easy to clone debian systems? How should one maintain it? 3. What are the recommendations about hardware specific to clusters would you make? 4. Any useful resources on this matter? (Basically how to approach the problem).

i can only use this server ('till i change graphic card),i'll not need
either XF86Setup and xf86config,i have a backup of the X config files i
modified (and that was when i was running KDE on X so it doesn't change
here).
p.s.i'm running debian 1.3.1
You'd be wise to use hamm for this I think, but it should be at least
possible with bo.
except some gripe (atribuable to both my keyboard who's never configured
but fine enough as is and the state of the KDE bug,but they're not
critical and i reboot far less than when i was running win95).

Re: How to build Debian Linux cluster?
Hi Sasha; As to #1, I am not sure that I am reading your question properly, but a large computer networked to many 'little' computers is superiour to just having a bunch of little computers as there are tasks that the 'big computer' can accomplish much faster and more efficiently than the 'little' machines can do even if they are a cluster. In addition, the 'little' computers (even if they are not a cluster) will do a lot of work for which the 'big' machine is NOT efficient. By 'big' machine I am talking about things like 'main frames', super- computers, vax-clusters, HP/Apolo clusters, etc. #2 there are a number of network configuration maintenance tools that make maintaining multiple machines rather simple. Multiple installations are not at all difficult (but could be a bit easier). #3 if you are really talking about clustering and not just networking then I am afraid that I don't know what the status is in Linux in that regard. I believe that if you do a price comparison on purchasing machines for Linux as opposed to buying X-terminals you will find that the equalivent display quality PC will not be significantly more expensive than the X-terminal and it will add to the potential work capability of the users. Even without clustering, these PC's could off load work that is handled very inefficiently by larger machines such as report writing and some data analysis.

Recompile your kernel for ip forwarding and set the gateway of your other pc's to the ip address of your linux box. 2) If you don't have static IP address.

Hi,
I finally installed the kernel-package as you suggested. I was
hoping first to find out where my problem was coming from with the
non-Debian specific kernel compile procedures. I am back to square one
after trying `make-kpkg --revision custom.1.0 kernel-image'. It poops out
at exactly the same place.
I am at my wits end. This is basically a paint by numbers procedure
for me. I follow the instructions and do what I'm told. I don't have a
deep understanding of all the pieces that come together to produce a kernel.
I am especially frustrated that I compiled a kernel a few months ago with no
problems. I resubmit the error output in the hopes that someone can help me
get to the bottom of this, or point me to other resources to which I might
turn (I have already posted to comp.kernel.sources without result). I would
really like to get sound support into the kernel.
Please note the following highlights from the following output. I
do not have encaps on my system (`find / -iname encaps', `type encaps',
'file encaps' all negative). To my mind, this means that the `else'
clause should be selected rather than the `then' clause of the `if'
statement (thus sidestepping the curious illegal `-k' option). It remains a
mystery to me why I get this error even if I use the old .config file (no
sound support) which was used to compile the kernel I currently run. What
could I have possibly changed on my system that is causing me this grief ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If less abbreviated output,
or other info (config files, directory listings, etc) is required, please
let me know. Here is the standard output:

What packages do I absolutely need? What do I need for X Windows? The Internet? I'm confused. I'd appreciate any help I could get. Thanks, James
Re: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hay James: When performing a raw install of Debian, it will install all necessary packages automatically. Form that point forward it is up to you what other packages to install. The packages you select would obviously depend upon the functionality you desire. Peter -Original Message-From: James A.

where is the source code for resc1440 debian install disk?
Hamm did not install properly. I explained this in more detail in a previous message. I suspect that the cause is that someone changed the specifications for the types of partitions that hamm can have. On my disk anything other than a dos/win95 partition is put into a dos extended partition. It seems that hamm cannot handle that now. It must expect a linux partition to not be in a dos extended partition. I am not sure if dos/win95 can even create partitions like this. I would like to know where the source code is for creating the resc1440 disc. It seems like there is a kernel with a file system on the disk.

Re: NE2000
Hi All. I have a NE2000 card on my 486DX4 100MHz server, running a hamm Debian (upgraded whenever possible - something like twice a week... ;) And, recently, I encountered a problem: the cable that links the NE card to the HUB (3comm) has been changed from coaxial to UTP and so, our network conection has gone away... :( I have tried by all means to recover it, but with no success (I also do not have the manual of the card...). Well, by now, what I know is that this little NE2000 can be reconfigured to use UTP with the aid of a Config Disk, booting DOS, and that its new UTP configuration will be kept on a kind of EPROM (or something like this...). Is this correct ? Do I have to find such a config-disk and boot into DOS-mode to reconfigure this card ? And what about upgrading to a 3COM 509 ? Is it a good idea ? (although I know that 3Com cards are better than this NE2000 I am not sure if I can afford such a change right now, so I am asking just for the sake of prevention and possible future upgrades... ;) I have 2 NE2000 cards, and 1 of them I have to boot into dos and configure the card to use the UTP port instead of the BNC, the other one auto detects which one to use and that seems to work ok to. I do have a 3com 3c509 cards as well, and it took me a while to get it working but I was a relatively straight forward task, but I had to tell that one to use the UTP port as well. So far I have not seen much difference between the performance of the cards as they are both 10Mb.

crt1.o problem
Hello, I am having a problem compiling some of my programs and they all complain about not finding crt1.o. I have done a find . -name crt1.o -print on my system and can not find that file. I had a crash last week and did a full restore of my system from a backup the day prior to the crash. Now when i try to compile the same programs that I had compiled prior to the crash, they all complain about the same file. It will say ln - crt1.o, file or directory not found. Does any one know what package this file is in so I can reinstall the package? I was thinking it was the libc5 libraries, as I am running Debian 1.3, Linux 2.029 kernel. Thought it might be one of the C Run Time files, but why the restore program didn't restore it is beyond me.

Re: Problem with ppp-2.3.3-5 and authentication
Well Art don't feel too silly, what you said is essentially correct (except for the chatscript stuff of course). The ppp protocol does not itself have a 'host/user' concept, it is a peer to peer protocol. In practice there typically are differences when PAP or CHAP are involved but again the difference is in the practice and not in the protocol. 'Hosts', in practice, do not normally authenticate themselves _to_ the dial-in machine. My question would be, if Mr. Whitwell's machine is using PAP, are the entries in the ppp/pap-secrets file correct? AFAIK for the PAP authentication to work (I don't use PAP but have used CHAP), the Username, password, and IP address (or address range) have to match. If the user's machine is also setup to expect PAP authorization then he must also have a second line for that 'secrets pair' or tell the user to disable requiring authorization.

Re: Sshd and utmp
Hi, I believe that the behavior of ssh not adding a utmp entry is correct. From what I recall, doing an rsh didn't add a utmp entry either. This seems to make sense since ssh technically doesn't do a login if you run a remote command over a secure channel. If you wish to login, use the slogin command (which is really just symbolic link to ssh) or ssh without a command to run. Using slogin or ssh without a command to run causes a real login to occur hence causing the user to appear in utmp. For example, doing a: ssh -l user host command doesn't add a utmp entry because a command is being run, not a login. Doing a: xterm -e ssh -l user host does add a utmp entry since this no command is being run which causes a login to occur. Also, as I said above, a: ssh -l user host or slogin -l user host adds a utmp entry upon login, too. utmp's work fine for me on my Debian, RedHat, Digital Unix, Solaris and SunOS systems. :) -Ossama __ Ossama Othman [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- PGP Keys --- Public: http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/staff/othman/OO_PUBLIC.asc REVOKED: http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/staff/othman/OO_REVOKED.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

You can mount it there right now without rebooting, simply by umounting /mnt and remounting that partition with /home as the mount point instead. If you run the mount command with no arguments, it will show you a list of mounted partitions. If your new partition shows up in that list, then you're all set.

How to administer Debian Linux cluster? [Re: How to build Debian Linux cluster?]
I have a related question. We are considering putting together a collection of Linux machines, but our major concern is administration. Because we are the fortunate recipients of government funding, we are in the situation where we can fairly easily purchase hardware, but there is no way we can afford to hire someone to administer the hardware. That means that we need to come up with a collaborative administration scheme that keeps things fairly simple while maintaining security. Any comments on successful (or not so successful) schemes?

Re: How to build Debian Linux cluster?
Hi Sasha. My colleagues who usually work on X-terminals noticed certain advantages of PC compared to X-terminal and basically the idea is instead of buying extra 5 X-terminals to buy 5 PC. I think I understand how to maintain single-computer system, but I have very little experience with clusters. Well, welcome to the club. We made the decision about six months ago to replace our X-terms with Linux boxes. The `pilot' project was to build a small cluster of Debian Linux boxes that serve as terminals for a classroom and general use during the day, and as a compute engine at night and weekends. To make a long story short, we have had enough success that we are now replacing the remaining X-terms in the building with PCs running Linux. 1. What is better: one powerfull central computer surrounded by many little ones? OR democratic society of equal computers? I cannot answer this from personal experience, but we have the democratic version running off of a 100 Mbps switch with MPI, PVM, all that stuff and it seems to do a good job. Can't hold a candle to our SP2, but the cluster is running ;) 2. Is it easy to clone debian systems? How should one maintain it? I did this the relatively hard way... one machine at a time. Even so, I got to where I could start with a machine in a box and have it a fully functional component in the cluster within 2 hours. I have since found out listening to this list that the dpkg utility helps to make this chore a lot simpler, if you learn to use the command line interface (silly me). 3. What are the recommendations about hardware specific to clusters would you make? If you want to do parallel computation (I assume that's why you are clustering them) you gotta minimize communication costs. We are still in the process of working the bugs out of our network, but production speeds went way up once we moved from 10 Mbps half duplex hubs to a 100 Mbps full duplex switch. 4. Any useful resources on this matter? (Basically how to approach the problem). I've seen several responses point you to Beowulf. Check it out. We decided that it didn't offer anything concrete above and beyond what could be built without it (anybody out there who knows better, let me know... please!). Good luck!

Re: x-fer /home to new drive?!
This should be relatively easy... Partition the drive with fdisk (cfdisk or whatever) under linux. 'fdisk /dev/sda' probably You might want to think about putting a swap partition on this new drive also. It _should_ be a noticable improvement if you swap much. You probably do not do a great deal of 'seeking' on the /home partition but your machine does a great deal of seeking to places like '/etc', '/lib', '/usr/lib', the various 'bin', and 'X' directories. With the swap partition on a different drive then swapping should be much faster. In addition I believe that SCSI is much less 'processor' bound than IDE/EIDE (though I am not positive). Make a filesystem (mkfs /dev/whatever the drive is + partition #) Mount the drive temporarily on something like /mnt mount -t ext2 /dev/drive-partition /mnt -rw Now this next one is the one where you will be touching a 'religious' issue. There are (as is usual for Unix/Linux) many different ways to copy your old '/home/*' to the new drive... cp -a /home /mnt you can user 'cpio', 'tar', and even some of the local mirroring programs. The 'cp' command is probably fine _unless_ you have some unusual file storage structure in your home directory (ie: soft or hard links) but this is very unusual for most personal systems. Then 'umount /mnt' (or whatever the temporary mount point was). Would not hurt to temporarily do a mount /dev/drive-partition /home -rw and login as a normal user and just check to see that everything is ok. When you are satisfied then: 'umount /home' (A little parinoia here) 'cd /home' (some more parinoia...) Confirm with 'pwd' that you are in /home. 'rm -f *' Remount the drive on home and finally edit /etc/fstab and add the mount for the new drive onto home with a line something like '/dev/drive-partition /home ext2 defaults 0 2' I seem to remember that only the first drive root should be 'pass 1', all other partition on that drive should be sequential (ie: 2, 3, etc.), and the partitions on other drives should start the sequence over but start at two (so if you made two partitions on your new drive then their pass numbers would be 2 and 3).

What I did notice is that the lines you quoted: On Tue, May 05, 1998 at 12:25:40AM -0700, G. Crimp wrote: [snip] if hash encaps 2 /dev/null; then \ objdump -k -q -o 0x10 /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.30/vmlinux $tmppiggy; \ else \ objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -R .stab -R .stabstr /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.30/vmlinux $tmppiggy; \ fi; \ should work. I am most assuredly not a shell guru but the command 'hash' is a bash internal command. _I_ would expect that shells other than bash should work correctly because the 'hash' command itself would not exist and that would be an error. Under bash, at the command line I tried: bash-2.01$ if hash encaps 2 /dev/null; then echo 'passed' else echo 'failed' fi and got: failed (just 'hash encaps' reports hash: encaps not found) OTOH, IF you have a command called 'hash' in your path then this test could pass. Does a 'which hash' provide a null response? You might want to do a 'locate /hash' also to be more sure.

-I- where? is source for sshd?
I am sorry, I usually can find these things on my own, but i searched with www.linuxhq.com, and sunsite.unc.edu is down for me right now, and I searched the debian packages via www and I ran through dselect.. i could not find the source for sshd. Can someone please tell me the main ftp site where sshd is located? Thanks in advance. Carroll Kong -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

You cannot modularize the filesystem type of your root filesystem, because the kernel needs to be able read the modules before it can load them.
