También quiero comentar una cosa. En mi Debian 1.3.1 puedo ejecutarlo como usuario normal. ¿ Esto es recomendable desde el punto de vista de la seguridad ? Estás obteniendo información sobre que 'daemons' están corriendo y las tareas que pueda estar ejecutando el root. Digo yo que eso tiene su importancia cuando intentas conocer un sistema para 'mejor' hackearlo. Bueno, casi el mismo servicio que da top, lo da ps, y ps puede ser vital para que los usuarios puedan matar un programa que no responda, comprobar el estado de un trabajo en background, etc. De todas maneras saber que daemons se está utilizando no es muy dificil si te refieres a los daemons relaccionados con servicios de red. Un simple escaeador de puertos de puede dar esa información y no necesitas ni estár dentro del sistema.

Moving linux to another partition?

You've got dosemu trying to boot off an OS/2 partition. It can't.
In your /etc/dosemu/conf file, there's a line like
disk { partition /dev/hda1 } # 1st partition on 1st IDE
That's from mine, and it points two my DOS partition. It would seem
that yours points to the wrong place.
Note that it could also be something else: you might have created a
disk image of an OS/2 disk for some reason. But I think my scenario
is more likely.
It might be worth your while to page through the conf file and read
the comments.

X problem (again) Win managers.
Hi! Well I managed to install X thanks to the people that helped me here but I'm for getting rid of all those newbies problems :) This time I couldn't get those windows managers to run. People advised me to install them so I choosed fvwm95, the instalation was ok, dselect did not find any problems, but when I first started X it did not appear like the fvwm95 docs said it would be. I found the windows managers configuration file in etc/X11/window-managers and it had the following contend: # This file contains a list of available window managers. The default # Xsession file will start the first window manager that it can # in this list. /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm95-2 /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2 /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm /usr/ X11R6/bin/twm Ok, so I tried to run fvwm95-2 at the prompt and I got the error: fvwm95: in function CatchRedirectError: ERROR another WM is running I don't have fvwm or or fvwm2 but when I tried to run twm I got: twm: another window manager is already running on screen 0? twm: Unable to find any unmanaged screens. So I concluded that I had another window manager that wasn't in etc/X11/window-managers (how smart I am uh? :)) The question is, where that unknown window manager is set up and how can I remove it so that I could easily run fvwm95-2 at startup?

Strange problem with ppp server --MKP
I'm running a PPP server on my debian 1.3 box for one of my friends on a win95 machine to connect to. He dials in, and pap is authenticated. Great! First problem, though, is that no entries get created via route and ifconfig, so he gets stuck. So I manually put entires in right after he logs in like so: ifconfig ppp0 192.168.0.23 netmask 255.255.255.255 up route add 192.168.0.23 ppp0 The strangest thing is when I try telnetting to his machine, it connects to the server! (I.E. the server is 192.168.0.1. telnet 192.168.0.23 just loops back to it) So I guess my question(s) are: why aren't entries being created for the ppp0 device? (I assume I'm just missing an option somewhere) (Oh, I'm using the mgetty that came with 1.3) Any help appreciated. ---Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

How do I setup /dev/cdrom ?
How do I setup /dev/cdrom? I just installed Debian 2.0 from floppies that I downloaded from ftp.debian.org. I suppose the install program did not setup a /dev/cdrom because I install from floppy. Even though I installed the cdrom driver when asked by the install program. I type #insmod cdrom and I get: /lib/modules/2.0.33/cdrom/cdrom.o: a module named cdrom already exists I type #mknod -m 666 /dev/cdrom b 42 0: That works ok but when I type #mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom I get mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device and then the (maybe 'insmod driver'?) comes up. And I of course have a cdrom entry in fstab. Any help with making a /dev/cdrom will be looked on with a great amount of thanks 8-).

Sendmail problems and new ghostscript debian packages...
Hello, Currently, I am running a server at UCLA using Debian distribution 1.3.1 . The network is working fine except for the emails configuration. For some reason, I can not send emails using locate email clients such as elm nor can I recieve email with properly setup user account. My computer does have a registered DNS name and assigned IP address. There should be no problem with the network because I got it working with RedHat 5.1 before. The interesting part is that I can't even send emails to local users. Also, I misses pine and the simple mail command that comes with other Linux system. Perhaps, I forgot to install something. Please show me how to install it. Secondly, I need to upgrade my ghostscript from GNU 3.33 to Aladin version 5.0 or above.

Re: How do I setup /dev/cdrom ?
I had the same problem. I was trying to install a SB16 cdrom and finally got it working by recompiling the kernel with support for non-IDE/SCSI controller card (sbpcd driver to be exact). After that, everything worked fine. Was driving me nuts for a while, though. I was assuming that since the cdrom was IDE, compiling the kernel with IDE cdrom support was what I was supposed to do, and I was ignoring the kernel config question about non-IDE/SCSI support.

For the sendmail problem, I tried all possible combination for sendmail configuration and still does not work.

Re: ISDN w/Debian

help! NT4 destroyed my Linux partitions!
I installed windows NT4.0 on the same disk as Linux was on. Now, I can't boot Linux -- a kernel panic occours and it claims that it can't read the superblock. I've tried booting off the Debian Boot Disk and the Debian Rescue Disk and I still get the same results. I can not mount _any_ partitions that are on the same disk as NT. Any ideas? Are there any programs for NT that will allow me to view the Linux partitions? Thanks -Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

[OFF-TOPIC]: Meet me in Cambridge (PGP, etc)
I noticed that quite a few debian developers have .cam.ac.uk addresses, and I wondered if anyone would like to meet with me on tuesday. I am going to Cambridge on Monday/Tuesday to have a look around on a university (well Sidney Sussex college really) open day. I thought maybe some people could sign my PGP key, and I would love a copy of hamm i386 on gold (in exchange for cash of course). Anyone want to meet me? I will arrive about 7pm on Monday, staying overnight in Sidney Sussex. I think the open day finishs about 2pm on Tuesday, I am free untill about 5pm when I catch the train home. -- Edward Betts http://www.hairnet.demon.co.uk/ mutt-portaloo-1054-4 Description: PGP Key 0xD9F4E741.

Brian == Brian Weiss [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Brian Don't worry about the OpenLinux thing, i ran StarOffice 4.0 Brian just fine on my old Slackware system. One thing I would Brian worry about though (since I too run Debian) is it working Brian at all. For some unknown reason (I've tried two different Brian releases of 4.0) after a few seconds it just freezes and I Brian cant even close the window. I'm running Debian 1.3 (bo) so Brian hamm might fix this. Please let me know if you get it Brian running ok. I am running Hamm/Slink, and am seeing a similar symptom. Actually, more than that: - Service pack 3 (unlike the original SO4 up to SP2) creates a bunch of directories straight in my home directory, not in the StarOffice subdirectory (I put it in ~/.staroffice). - Sometimes when I start, it waits a few seconds, then tells me Virtual memory exceeded in `new'. Sometimes it actually goes into a loop of ever-increasing memory consumption (according to procmeter), and freezes. Only kill -9 helps then. - Sometimes it freezes just at random. The funny thing is, I just installed Debian Hamm on a co-workers machine today, and put on SO4 along with it. Exact same procedure, but everything works fine on his machine. Let me ask you: - Do you use a Cyrix processor? (I do. One of the orignal 6x86 P200+) - Do you have 'libc4' installed? (I do, for RealAudio 3.0) - KDE? (That's what I use) -tor Actually, you'll be happy to know that I figured out the problem. At least in my situation. It's something fairly stupid and something I think could be easily fixed by stardivision. What was creating my freeze was installing it to /usr/local/Office40 instead of /home/fudd/Office40. This is somewhat weird because on my old slackware system I installed it to /usr/local/Office40 and it ran just fine. Apparently StarOffice uses another method of global installation. It installs some files globally and then still must create certain files in the users home directory. I didn't bother with this since my system is pretty private anyway, so I just installed to my home directory and it runs fine now. I also had a problem with memory consumption by multiple soffice processes. I actually went into 2k of swap :P. kill -9 fixed that just fine though. It seems to me that it must not be finding certain files it needs to run properly when installed under another directory. This is a completely stupid bug on the part of stardivision. They give you a chance during installation to choose the install directory and yet it doesn't work if you change this directory. Most Windows 95 programs support alternate installation directories even. The fact that it worked fine on my old slackware system still puzzles me. Give this a try and let me know if it works or not. (My system in case you're still interested) Intel Pentium II - 400mhz 128mb RAM Debian 1.3 - 2.1.106 No, I do not have libc4 installed. I have run StarOffice 4.0 on both KDE and WindowMaker. The window manager shouldn't make any difference in most cases. .- Brian Weiss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.got.net/~brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I believe you can set what you want as default by editing the makefile, or a config.h type file. If you don't want to do it Debian-package style, just get the vanilla source, untar it in /usr/local/src, then install it into /usr/local/bin, and it won't affect dpkg. There are some other useful configuration options in the rxvt source, too, that you might want to look at. Good luck! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: AFIO usage...

Thanks, --Jay Jay, I didn't see anyone answer your question, so I dug out of my files this extract from the man pages that I give to students who are beginnning with Linux. Maybe with this and the man page you can figure a solution to your problem. I see no really good way to provide an exclude file. Exclude patterns work pretty well though. Maybe someone will someone will tell both of us how, if there is a way to do that. All standard disclaimers apply :) --David Man page says: ... | afio -o [ options ] archive : write archive afio -i [ options ] archive : install archive afio -t [ options ] archive : list table-of-contents of archive afio -r [ options ] archive : verify archive against filesystem afio -p [ options ] directory [ ... ] : copy files Frequently used options: -v -Z -F -K -n -s volsize -b blocksize -y pattern -Y pattern Simplest case first: Unlike tar which traverses the directory structure in accord with the pattern you provide, afio takes a stream of paths to the files from the standard input. To generate your file list, you might do this: cd root of the directory tree you want archived find . -print filelist This produces your file list. You can edit it, if the files you want to save do not change backup to backup you can just do this: cat filelist | afio -o archive-name.afio This will save all the files in filelist to the archive named archive-name.afio. Use -Y pattern (see below) to exclude things. To get a listing of the files in the archive, afio -t archive-name.afio To get an ls -l like listing, afio -tv archive-name.afio To verify afio -r archive-name.afio This will complain about missing files, and if a file is different from the archive version, afio complains about a corrupt archive. And to install the archive, afio -i archive-name.afio You can install just one file with afio -i -y path-to-file archive-name.afio Continuting the man page: -o, reads pathnames from the standard input and writes an archive. With -t, reads an archive and writes a table-of-contents to the standard output. With -i, installs the contents of an archive relative to the working directory. With -p, reads pathnames from the standard input and copies the files to each directory. With -r, reads archive and verifies it against the filesystem. This is useful for verifying tape archives. Creates missing directories as necessary, with permissions to match their parents. Generates sparse filesystem blocks (with lseek(2)) when possible. Removes leading slashes from pathnames when reading, writ- ing, and cataloging an archive, unless instructed not to. Supports multi-volume archives during interactive opera- tion (i.e., when /dev/tty is accessible and SIGINT is not being ignored).
