Pueden ponerse a probar configuraciones (primero respalden la actual, que bien que mal, jala), y entonces, con el MTA que elijan ya instalado, pueden correr el configurador con la opción --force para ir probando con diferentes respuestas cada vez. OJO: no se pueden tener los 3 (smail,sendmail,exim) al mismo tiempo, es más, se supone que nisiquiera 2 de ellos, porque proveen el mismo paquete virtual (es decir, hacen lo mismo), así que para resolver problemas de dependencias (sendmail depende de deliver para el correo local), mejor usen dselect para intercambiar entre MTA's.

La opcion que tengo es inventar un dominio (mimaquina.midominio), e indicarle que use Smarthost, y asi efis deja de ser local, pero no es la solucion optima.

Anyway, I have a lot of package problems, 58 packages are in the state iU, i.e. installed but not configured. I could at least identify the following problems: * the first problem has to do with perl. I have the package perl-base installed but apache which depends on 'perl' claims that perl is not installed. And in fact 'perl-base' does not provide 'perl'. But it 'Replaces: perl', 'Suggests: perl' and 'Conflicts: perl ( 5.004.04-2)'. I tried to find another package that would provide 'perl' but did not find any. To me it looks like there is a screw-up in the package dependencies/information. perl-base5.004.04-6 apache 1.3b6-3 * ddd-smotif depends on 'libg++27'. Fair enough. I installed the package 'libg++27' (Opt oldlibs libg++27). But this package provides 'libg++' not the one I expected. I could not find anything that ould povide 'libg++27'.

any cvs users out there? (and bug #22392)
Hi, We use cvs for managing the source code of a multi developer project. On 13, May 1998 after a frozen update I discovered a new cvs feature/bug and filed a bug report (#22392). I haven't heard much about it since then so I thought I would ask the other users if anybody has the same problem or if anyone knows a good work-around. Here is the problem: cvs repository is in /dev/sda6 (/usr/local/cvsroot by link) home directories are in /dev/sda6 (/home by a link) cvs's default tmpdir is /tmp which is in /dev/sda3 (/) When I check in a file, cvs apparantly wants /tmp and cvsroot to be on the same physical partition. I get errors like: cvs [commit aborted]: cannot rename file /tmp/cvs03139haa \ to apapi.c:Invalidcross-device link If I setenv TMPDIR to something like ~/tmp which is on the same partition as cvsroot things work. But I don't think the location of TMPDIR should have anything to do with the workings of cvs as long as I have write permission there. I can't imagine that this is the default behavior from the cvs sources since most installations that are compiled from source would have their cvsroot as a seperate partition from /tmp. I guess I will check the sources just to be sure. Stuart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, Brian Morgan 'libXmu.so.6' belongs to the 'xlib6g' package. Make sure 'xlib6g' is installed and not the older 'xlib6' package. 'xlib6g' is the version for libc6; 'xlib6' is for libc5. Hamm is using the newer libc6. The man command comes from the 'man-db' package. If you correctly installed from hamm, then the version of the man-db for hamm (man-db-2.3.10-65) should not require libc.so.5 (libc5). Somehow you haven't got the updated packages for hamm. Are you installing Deb 2.0 using the ftp method of dselect? In that case make sure you are installing from the hamm distribution. On ftp.debian.org the hamm dir is '/debian/dists/hamm', i.e. tell dselect to install from dists/hamm/main + dists/hamm/contrib + dists/hamm/non-free. If the correct packages are installed, try running 'ldconfig' to see if that clears up the problem with not finding the right libs. Since I never tried keeping both libc5 and libc6 on my system simultaneously, I never had a problem similar to this. In fact, 'ldconfig' is run automatically when necessary by the packages as you install them. -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Unfortunately this is not a test machine, so I can't afford to have it crashed. What's the best route for something like this? My personal opinion is not to upgrade, but to do a clean reinstall using Debian 2.0 install disks. Backup inportant stuff (like /home and config files of /etc) to another partition or to tape, for example, then wipe the root partition and install 'clean'. I say this because you mention you need long term stability and because I had a bizarre problem when I tried using a recent kernel (2.0.34) after having upgraded 'in-place' from 1.3.1 to 2.0. Apparently, this problem was rare, as no one else was able to help. I finally did what I suggested above, and this solved the problem. After a clean install you can copy back your stuff in /home and use your backup of the /etc files to edit the new /etc files (don't just copy your old /etc to the new one as this will create problems). A number of things changed between 1.3.1 and 2.0 especially in the /etc dir. Of course the odds are real good that you wouldn't have the kind of problem I did, and otherwise the upgrade from 1.3.1 to 2.0 was relatively painless for me. Just a FWIW suggestion. Which brings me to another question... what do I use in dselect for the locations of the hamm distro? Apparently what I chose was incorrect, and all my new packages were not found, then you can imagine what happened to the system after it uninstalled the old packages :( Using ftp.debian.org as the example, for the ftp method of dselect, set the ftp dir to '/debian/' and the distribution dirs to dists/hamm/main + dists/hamm/contrib + dists/hamm/non-free. I think I will start with just a base install of 1.3 on my box at home... will that work with the update script on the website, or do I need additional packages/libs/etc? TIA for any help as always!

route anon ftp requests how?
Needed: best method for directing inbound requests for anon ftp requests to a server located on a box other than the one that dials up my ISP. I have two Linux machines ethernetted, and running IP masquerading with ipfwadm. One of the boxs is equipped with a modem to dial my ISP (for dynamic IP assignment). The anon ftp server has been installed on the other box. I've tested the anon ftp server by connecting a modem to it, dialling my ISP for an IP address, and then posting the address on my Web page hosted by my ISP. I've also got a URL courtesy of ml.org, and have tested that too. But I want to contine connecting to the 'Net via the first box, and have the anon ftp server on the second box available to folks on the 'Net once I've put my IP address in ml.org's DNS. This is where my reach exceeds my grasp: I can't for a minute believe that I can have, in the dialled-up box's /etc/services file, a reference for ftp that points to the second machine. My first reading of several HOWTOs suggests to me that if I reconfigure ipfwadm, not for IP masquerading, but in some other mode, eg as a firewall, that the routing I describe can be implemented.

Re: XFree86
Dennis Dixon wrote:
Thanks to the numerous responses I received from my posting (June 9, 10:04)
regarding setting up XFree86 on my Debian 1.3 O/S.
Below is what I think I'm supposed to do. Possibly, someone could verify if
this is correct.
First, let's make sure I understand the difference between various versions
of Debian and XFree86. The 2 relevant parameters seem to be bo vs. hamm
and xlibc5 vs. xlibc6.
Debian 1.3 uses bo and xlibc5, whereas the frozen version
Debian 2.0 uses hamm and xlibc6.
(Frozen versions are still available for download but just aren't
100% stable?)
Its 'libc5' vs. 'libc6'. The 'xlib6g' is one of the Debian packages
that
provides the libc6 version of XFree86 ('xlib6' is for libc5 version; bad
choice of names, I admit). The names 'bo' and 'hamm' are simply code-words
or aliases for 'Debian v1.3.1' and 'Debian v2.0' respectively. So, 'bo'
*is* Debian 1.3 (using libc5), and 'hamm' *is* Debian 2.0 (using libc6).
'Frozen' means they aren't adding new packages or features to it; they are
only fixing problems prior to officially releasing it as 'Debian 2.0'.
XFree86 3.2 uses xlibc5 and hamm, not bo.
Therefore, unless I upgrade to Debian 2.0, I need to use XFree86 version 3.1?
I don't know what these terms mean, but at least this is hopefully enough
information to download the correct version.
No, the XFree available for 'hamm' has been built for libc6, but the one
provided for 'bo' has been built to use libc5. XFree86 is not restricted to
either libc5 or libc6. It depends on how it is compiled.
The reason you don't see a recent (3.2.2) version of XFree for 'bo' is
because all development work has shifted to 'hamm' and 'slink' (the alias
for Debian 2.1). It isn't because XFree 3.2.2 'requires' libc6, rather its
because nobody has gone back to build an XFree 3.2.2 version for
'bo'/libc5. This is why a lot of people have upgraded to hamm, even though
its not been officially released. They want access to the latest versions
of software available.
I should download from
ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/x11/
^^
|
+--+
|
'stable' is (yet another) alias for 'bo'. Since 'hamm' hasn't been
released yet (or considered 'stable' enough for release) it is still
considered 'unstable'.
xbase_3.3-4.deb, xlib6_3.3-4.deb, xfntbase_3.3-4.deb,
xserver-vga16_3.3-4.deb, fvwm2_2.0.45-BETA-4.deb.
Yes, but depending on the type of video card you have you'll probably
want
a different xserver, once you figure out which one works with your
hardware. 'xserver-vga16' provides only 640x480 resolution with just 16
colors.
Several questions about this:
1) Is this in fact XFree86, or is this a completely different generic
XWindows Package?
This is XFree86, but compiled and packaged for a Debian system.
2) Is this the correct version of XFree86? (e.g version 3.1, not 3.2)
This would be 3.1 (or 3.0; not sure). Remember, nobody is going back to
package newer software for 'bo', because everyone is busy with 'hamm' and
'slink'. In order to get XFree 3.2, you'll have to upgrade to Debian 2.0.
3) Is this the correct directory to download from? I pretty much
picked it at random.
The dir you list above is correct for 'bo', i.e. 'stable'.
4) xlib6_3.3-4.deb has nothing to do with the xlibc5/xlibc6 issue and
is the correct file to download?
Yes, I don't know how this package got the name 'xlib6'. Your right
though, 'xlib6' is for the libc5 version of Xfree86. 'xlib6g' is for the
libc6 version.
5) Is fvwm2_2.0.45-BETA-4.deb o.k. to use even though it says BETA
in the file name?
Something which is updated as often as fvwm2 will probably always be in
a
'BETA' mode. :-) Its just a matter of perspective. There is a lot of
software which is called 'beta' by its authors, which appears quite stable
to everyone else.
I should then run on my O/S dpkg -i filename.deb for each of these files.
Yep.
More questions:
1) This is just as good as running dselect and really doesn't matter?
To some, dselect might be easier to use versus a command line interface
(dselect is merely a 'front-end' to dpkg; dselect calls dpkg to do much of
the work).
2) In the other direction, unarchiving the files:
preinst.sh, postinst.sh, X332bin.tgz, X332cfg.tgz, X332doc.tgz,
X332man.tgz, X332fnts.tgz, X332lib.tgz, X332set.tgz, X332VG16.tgz
(which I downloaded from
ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/current/binaries/Linux-ix86)
would also accomplish the same, but would involve a number of extra
steps.(Except this is XFree86 version 3.2, not 3.1)
Well, technically you can use what you've dl'd from Xfree, but if you
are
using Debian,

Bull's Eye Gold is the PREMIER email address collection tool. This program allows you to develop TARGETED lists of email addresses. Doctors, florists, MLM, biz opp,...you can collect anything...you are only limited by your imagination! You can even collect email addresses for specific states, cities, and even countries! All you need is your web browser and this program. Our software utilizes the latest in search technology called spidering. By simply feeding the spider program a starting website it will collect for hours. The spider will go from website to targeted website providing you with thousands upon thousands of fresh TARGETED email addresses. When you are done collecting, the spider removes duplicates and saves the email list in a ready to send format. No longer is it necessary to send millions of ads to get a handful of responses...SEND LESS...EARN MORE!!! A terrific aspect of the Bull's Eye software is that there is no difficult set up involved and no special technical mumbo-jumbo to learn. All you need to know is how to search for your targeted market in one of the many search engines and let the spider do the rest! Not familiar with the search engines? No problem, we provide you with a list of all the top search engines. Just surf to the location of a search engine on your browser then search for the market you wish to reach...it's that easy! For instance if you were looking for email addresses of Doctors in New York all you would do is: 1) Do a search using your favorite search engine by typing in the words doctor(s) and New York 2) Copy the URL (one or more)...that's the stuff after the http://... for instance it might look like http://www.yahoo.com/?doctor(s)/?New+York 3) Press the START button THAT's IT!!! The Bull's Eye spider will go to all the websites that are linked, automatically extracting the email addresses you want. The spider is passive too! That means you can let it run all day or all night while you are working on important things or just having fun on your computer. There is no need to keep a constant watch on it, just feed it your target market and give it praise when it delivers thousands of email addresses at the end of the day!

Mirroring hamm for install...
Reply-To: Hi, I've been installing hamm on a test partition a couple of times and have some questions now. First, my situation: 1. Nightly running: wget --mirror ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/hamm -a /root/wget.log -X \ *-alpha*,*-m68k*,*-powerpc*,*-sparc*,*source* a. Because I'm running i386, I felt that I wouldn't be needing any of those other directories. Correct? I'll d/load from source when the need arises. b. Is this a good method of mirroring hamm? So far it has been great except for one thing: - wget doesn't delete files locally that are no longer on the server. Is there a switch for this? (it causes problems later with dselect) 2. Installation a. In order to get dselect to behave, I had to make these symlinks: (I ran wget from /usr/local/debian) In /usr/local/debian/ftp.debian.org/pub/debian 1. contrib - hamm/contrib 2. non-free - hamm/non-free 3. stable - hamm In /usr/local/debian/ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/hamm 1. Contents.gz - Contents-i386.gz 2. binary-i386 - hamm/binary-i386 3. binary - hamm/binary-i386(don't know whether this one is needed, just saw it in bo) 4. Packages - hamm/Packages Is that the correct way to handle things? Or is there a better method until hamm goes stable? b. Also I had to delete the obsolete (no longer mirrored) files from all the directories. Otherwise dselect will stop during the installion. Why? Or, is there a way I can tell dselect to ignore the extra files? c. Each time I install packages through dselect, it must go through every file in the archive and decide whether to install it or not. Is there a way I can tell dselect to only try to install the files I selected, rather than stepping through the whole tree?

Ugg. It's too early in the morning to think about Emacs vs BS/DEL issues. My problem is if I start gnus when there is no new mail, I get an empty Groups buffer. If I try C-u RET in that case, I get the response No group on current line. If I have new mail, I can go back and look at old mail OK. 'L' will list everything in the group buffer. There are various less verbose commands. I find that C-h m and some C-h f'ing often saves me from the horror of C-c TAB. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Scalable fonts in Netscape
Hello, Problem: Netscape does not save font properties for fonts other then default two for every encoding. Environment: Linux-i386, Netscape Communicator 4.04, XFree86 3.3.1 X font server with xfsft add-ons (truetype rendering). By default, all fonts in the list are set as non-scalable. Let's say I have iso8859-1 encoding and I set up default fonts to Times New Roman and Courier New. All the rest fonts, like Verdana, Impact and so on are set to be non-scalable. I can change this by switching fonts from Times New Roman to the one I want, change the properties and then to restore default font to be Times New Roman again. But Netscape seems not to keep this information in ~/.netscape/preferences file. Next time I start Netscape my changes are lost. Only the info about default fonts remains. Thanks in advance for any suggestion, link to look at, whatever You can give/tell me Best Regards, Yury -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Incoming ppp calls
Hi, Recently I upgraded my bo system to hamm. Since then, my incoming ppp/pap connections are refused. In bo I had to delete the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file but now, with the same configuration, when setting up the ppp connection, syslog sais that there is no valid pap-secrets file available. When using the standard pap-secrets file I get, using an account in /etc/passwd, authentication refused. Any help on this?

Re: Debian vs. W95 (was: Money where mouth...)
G'day, The main issue is that of controllability and observability; with W95 there is a hierarchy of pre-defined GUI interfaces to pre-defined functionalities. Often the details of their functions, or constraints, are not well defined (publically). Yeah, I know this feeling too... My main system is (was, before it died) a WinNT 4 system, with a DEC tulip PCI 10/100 Ethernet card. For some reason, ever so often, the network card doesn't work. I think it's autosensing the hub wrong, but nothing seems to fix it. It would be so much easier if there was a syslog to look into and see what error messages, if any, were comming up. Nothing is recorded anyweher (not even in the NT system logs). So I agree... a nice GUI is the only way to sell an OS to the masses (which is prolly what KDE and GNOME are about (well, okay, not *sell*, but you know what I mean...)

Re: X11 libs problem
There seems to be some sort of problem with the libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib. Almost every program I install that isn't from a debian package won't run because it can't find libraries from this directory. You are using hamm, right? My guess would be that the programs you install are libc5-based. And for them to run you need to install libc5-based X11 libraries. They are included into libc5, xlib6 (not xlib6g), xpm4.7, libg++27 packages.

Help, I've messed up my system
Err, this is embarassing. I had a perfectly working 2.0 system, but because I have now opened a second ISP account with Demon I decided to have a look for scripts on the Demon ftp site. I duly found a package for Slackware, and decided to unzip and untar it to see what scripts it contained which might helpas a guide to setting up my second ppp/pap connection via Demon. By mistake (cringe...) I managed to copy the files to my (Debian 2.0) system and the copies overwrote my Debian files. I have managed to sort out a lot of the resulting Debian-Slackware hybrid mess, but a couple of things I can't find out how to rectify: 1) I can log in as root o.k. (using 2.0.33 boot disk) but some commands only work if I do additionally su, and some don't work at all. If I try to do man pppd, for example, I get libdb2.so.2 : permission denied. If I do updatedb then locate works fine, but after the next reboot the db has vanished again. 2) If I try to log in as user account atheris I get a column of 1000.1000 instead of atheris.atheris (although if I do ls -la /home/atheris from root, then atheris.atheris appears). Also, bash does not read the local .bashrc/..bash_profile but instead tells me /etc/profile : permission denied. In the case of my wife's account I get the same and 1001.1001 instead of katya.katya. In neither case can I run any commands. /etc/profile is there, wr - r -r , but bash will not read it. Anyone know how to fix this self-inflicted grief?

KHOROS on Debian Problems
Hi, I think most of these problems are with my debian installation but thought I'd ask both groups. I have a AMD K6-233 running Debian 2.0.32(hamm). I've installed KHOROS 2.2 from the CD and cantata, craftsman and guise runs fine, almost. 1) When opening any khoros window with a dialog box, I get a message from the X window system that the function delete-next-character is not available. An SGI running KHOROS with the display set to the PC exhibts the same problem. I think this may be a missing X related library, but which one. 2) I have a two button mouse. When in guise ( at least this is where I found the problem,) the simulation of the middle button does not work. I can't access a new object, such as in an integer simple variable I can not access the pane to change it's characteristics. I'm pretty sure this is a configuration problem on my part. These two problems are of the nusiance category, I've found work arounds but I would like to fix them. This last one is a show stopper tho. 3) I wrote a new routine for KHOROS. Every thing went fine until the link or loading stage of the compilation. The library libfl.a, one of the makefile's SYS_LIBRARIES, does not exist. ( I searched the entire /usr/lib path.) I deleted the reference to that library, and the reference to a routine yywarp was not satisified. I have access to an SGI with IRIX 6.2, and KHOROS 2.2, there the corresponding library is libl.a and it does exist with a routine yywarp. I looked through dselect to see if libfl was available and if it is, it isn't listed as that. So my question is: what is and where or how do I get libfl.a?

The install of the Slackware package has overwritten the file permissions of
apparently several files and directories. Use the Slackware tarball as a
guide, i.e. every file and dir it touches should be inspected by you.
Reinstalling deb packages might help with some problems (try reinstalling
libdb2), but with other problems you have to figure out permission problems
manually. With '/etc/profile', check both permissions and file owner plus
the
owner and permissions of higher up directories ('/etc'). The permissions of
/etc/profile might be ok; the permissions /etc dir might be the problem.
Good Luck. I've gotten so paranoid about this, I inspect tarballs to see
what they put where before I unpack them. In some cases, I'll unpack to a
tmp dir, and install files in the right place manually.

Thanx for the infos. Max I'm going to install Debian Gnu/Linux on three boxes. But I don't want to upgrade from r1.3 to the incoming r2.0.

user can delete kernel images
Hi, Something very strange has happened to my system. I have my kernels in /boot (the usual setup ) with permission 644. I have never touched that after they are created by the kernel-package. I am doing some experiments concerning security. So I tried as a user with no root privileges and no root group privileges to delete the files /boot/vmlinuz.2.0.0 and /boot/vmlinuz.2.0.27 I was asked whether 644 should be overrided I said yes and it removed the files Why ?? This is of no immediate risk since I have several more kernels which I use but this is scary. Can anayone explain this ??

user can delete kernel images (cont)
Following to my previous email I have to say some things. the /boot directory in my machine is drwxrwsr-x 2 root disk 2048 Jun 12 17:58 boot the user who can do that belongs to the disk group but the file which was deleted (/boot/vmlinuz.2.0.0) does not belong to the disk group it is root.root So obviously although I hadn;t realised that before if a group you belong to owns a directory which is writable by the group you can delete stuff from it without owning the files and without belonging to the group which owns the files. Is this safe ?? More importantly I don't know if this is a bug of the installation procedure about 1 1/2 years ago but the permission to /boot were set by that procedure and I never changed them. I know users should not probably belong to group disk but I could have damaged my system really bad if I had no spare kernels. I guess I must remove the user from the disk group as soon as possible. By the way why is /boot writable by the group disk?

quotas
The `quota' command isn't quite doing what I think it should. I've added the appropriate lines to /etc/fstab, run `quotacheck -av', run `quotaon -av' and `edquota' for the users who need them, but typing `quota user' (as root) always results in the message Disk quotas for user user (uid UID): none. I get the same result if I su to that user and run the `quota' command. `repquota -av' shows things to be as they should. So it seems that quotas are in effect, but users won't know what's up by using the `quota' command. Somebody tell me I forgot a step :) Otherwise this seems to be hosed.

FTP File system
Hi, does anyone know about a kernel based FTP-file system, a mean something like nfs or smbfs but against an ftp server.

Re: startx giving error message
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you wrote: : This might sound like a dumb question, but how do you check where a symbolic link : points to? I understand what you're talking about, and I can see X in the : /usr/X11R6/bin directory, but I don't know what to do from there to get it to point : to my current SVGA server (I'm using a Hercules Terminator 64/3D S3 virge card, : FYI). Thanks for any help you can give. Try ls -la file_or_directory. To change the link try ln -s target symbolic_link_that_points_to_target.

VIM
Whenever I use vim to edit files, when I am done there is a whateverfilename~ file in the directory. What are these files with the tilde for? If they aren't important, how do I make vim not leave them lying around all the time? Because its insanely annoying to have to delete zillions of filename~ files that appear when I am using vim to write large multi-sourcefile programs.
