Any help is greatly appreciated. so I'm no expert here, but I certainly had to go through alot to get my modem to work with debian (but then, I use a laptop with pcmcia card modem :-) ). I think you mean /dev/ttyS2. The serial ports are /dev/ttyS# and equal com port numbers minus one (i.e. com1 = /dev/ttyS0, etc). My modem card installs at com2 so I use /dev/ttyS1. I have been told that /dev/cua# is deprecated and that docs using /dev/cua# are out of date (sigh ...). I'm pretty sure that /dev/modem is just a symbolic link (at least it is on my machine) so to make /dev/modem type ln -s /dev/ttyS2 /dev/modem you also need to check to make sure that /dev/ttyS2 is set for the proper irq and port # for your modem. read the docs that came with your modem and check to see what irq it's expecting to use and what memory address and then type setserial -a /dev/ttyS2 and see what it says. If not, you can use setserial to change those values (read the man pages on setserial), or you can check to see if one of the other serial ports is actually the one you want (setserial -a /dev/ttyS0, etc). If your modem is internal, debian should be able to detect it on start-up since it detects most serial ports on startup but I'm not sure since again I use a laptop and usually my modem isn't in one of my card slots on bootup. At any rate you can see which ports where detected by typing dmesg after startup and logging in. You'll get a list of devices detected at startup and other messages too. I'm sure someone else here can give you alot more info (probably more accurate too), but this is my attempt.

Make sure you typed it correctly. Thanks again, Brian Adding a share is fairly simple... Say for instance you wanted to share out your CDROM which is mounted on your system as '/cdrom', you could add this to the bottom of your smb.conf: [cdrom] comment = CD-ROM drive path = /cdrom guest ok = no read only = yes You can then try mounting the share \\yourhost\cdrom on the Win95 PC.

adding pcmcia module for updated kernel
I recently installed the 2.0.33 kernel. Now I want to add the pcmcia module, which is in a separate package. This module is already installed for the previous version of the kernel, 2.0.30. I strongly suspect that I cannot just create a pointer to /lib/modules/2.0.30/pcmcia in /lib/modules/2.0.33. 'dselect' will not let me re-install the pcmcia module because it is already installed. I don't want to remove it and re-install it, because then 2.0.30 wont have a pcmcia module anymore, and I'm not yet ready to trust the new kernel completely. I can think of some work-arounds but I'd like to know if there is an approved way around this problem.

Autoup Upgrade (Was: Re: debian-user-digest Digest V98 #536)
Hi, During the upgrade, autoup.sh must remove several critical packages in order to upgrade them i.e. in bo, perl is one package; in hamm perl is provided by perl-base and perl. The hamm version of perl depends on perl-base, but perl-base conflicts with the bo version of perl. Therefore it is necessary to remove the bo version of perl. Since many packages depend upon perl, dpkg must deconfigure these packages, then remove perl. It then installs perl-base and perl in sequence and configures the packages that were unconfigured. During that process, a number of alarming warning messages are generated. If autoup.sh completes normally (displays a message saying you now have a libc6 system, and discusses wtmp and utmp), all of these warning messages may be ignored. When you enter dselect after autoup finishes, the best course of action is to use the access, update and install modules - don't even enter the select module. In that case all packages on your system that have an upgraded version (almost all of them) are automatically upgraded without any further action on your part. You are then free to use the select function to add any package you might desire. Most development libraries are removed by autoup.sh, and are not automatically replaced. Autoup.sh creates a file removed-today's_date in the current directory recording the packages that were removed. This provides a guide to the packages that should be reinstalled with dselect or manually with dpkg -i. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.

glibc = Gnu libc = libc6
From the GNU Libc FAQ:
2.1.Can I replace the libc on my Linux system with GNU libc?
{UD} You cannot replace any existing libc for Linux with GNU
libc. It is binary incompatible and therefore has a different major
version. You can, however, install it alongside your existing libc.
For Linux there are three major libc versions:
libc-4 a.out libc
libc-5 original ELF libc
libc-6 GNU libc
You can have any combination of these three installed. For more
information consult documentation for shared library handling. The
Makefiles of GNU libc will automatically generate the needed symbolic
links which the linker will use.

I'm wondering if what I did is the right approach. If so, and if this isn't common knowledge (as I couldn't find it), it should be helpful to others. The difficulty asI see is is that mount, when mounting user volumes, by default uses the permissions of the requesting user. When the user wants to mount a volume, it asks the automount daemon to do so. The automount daemon in turn calls mount, and mount gladly does it job and mounts the volume with the permissions of the automount daemon, not the permissions of

I can think of some work-arounds but I'd like to | know if there is an approved way around this problem. How did you install the new kernel? Did you install the kernel image kernel-image-2.0.33_version.deb file or did you install the kernel source *.deb file and build a custom kernel? For the first case all the relevent modules are contained within the pcmcia-modules-kernel version*.deb file. In the later case you need to install pcmcia-source file and use the make-kpkg Debian utility. So, in summary, if you're using Debian 2.0 Beta (similiar for 1.3.x) and you installed kernel-image-2.0.33_2.0.33-9.deb, then install pcmcia-modules-2.0.33_3.0.0-8k9.deb and you should be all set. The pcmcia-modules*.deb file you need to install for the 2.0.33 kernel should have a different version than the one you installed for 2.0.30 and so there shouldn't be a problem with dselect. You can always get the *.deb file manually and use dpkg -i on it. This will, I believe, uninstall the previous version and then install the new one, whether they're the same version or not. If you installed the source file kernel-source-2.0.33_2.0.33-9.deb then install pcmcia-source_3.0.0-8.deb and take the following steps: cd /usr/src/linux make xconfig OR make menuconfig OR make config make-kpkg --revision custom kern revision number kernel_image (and maybe, can't recall for sure) make-kpkg --revision custom kern revision number modules_image If you're doing this then take a look at /usr/doc/pcmcia. It has a step by step procedure for installing the PCMCIA stuff from source that I'm sure is more accurate than my memory. Good Luck!

Re: installing a modem under debian 1.3
scott hussey wrote: I am a very novice Linux/Debian user and am trying to setup minicom. I am curious about how to get minicom to recognize my modem. I read in the man page that most linux systems have the serial port as /dev/modem or /dev/cua#. How can I get Linux to install my modem as a dev. Currently, pppd recognizes my modem as ttys2, but minicom gives me the message 'I/O Error' when it tries to open ttys2. Any help is greatly appreciated. In addition to what the others have said, keep in mind that the kernel has to have serial support either builtin to the kernel or built as loadable modules. So if your modem is a standard serial device, make sure your kernel supports it. IIRC, the default debian kernel images provide serial support as a module. Try 'modprobe serial', if it says it can't find the module, you'll need to build a kernel with that support (if you know serial support is builtin this won't be necessary). Like I said though, this really should only be necessary if you have built a custom kernel. The easiest thing to do is make sure that a line with 'auto' is found in /etc/modules; this will make sure that the serial module is loaded automagically when you need it. -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Do what David said. xlibc6 (based on libc5) is the older version of the support libraries in xlib6g (based on libc6, otherwise known as glibc2; thus the 'g'). It is unfortunate that both use '6' in their name, but thats the way it is. If you are running a hamm (debian v2.0) system or are trying to upgrade to v2, then the xlib6g is the important one. If you have older X software that needs the libc5 version, get xlib6 from the 'oldlibs' section of the hamm (v2) distribution (it won't conflict with xlib6g). If you update all your existing software to their equivalent libc6 version though, you shouldn't need xlib6 (I have only xlib6g). Again, it you are really running a hamm system, you can delete the existing xlib6, install xlib6g, and if you need compatibility with older software, you can install the hamm version of xlib6 from the 'oldlibs' section. FYI: if you are not running a hamm system (or trying to upgrade to one) then you shouldn't be trying to use xlib6g. -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Autoup Upgrade
Bob, Thanks for the clear and informative message. I think this should be included with the autoup.sh documentation, it certainly explains things not described there. Gregory Guthrie - At 10:53 PM 6/28/98 -0400, Bob Hilliard wrote: Hi, During the upgrade, autoup.sh must remove several critical packages in order to upgrade them i.e. in bo, perl is one package; in hamm perl is provided by perl-base and perl. The hamm version of perl depends on perl-base, but perl-base conflicts with the bo version of perl. Therefore it is necessary to remove the bo version of perl. Since many packages depend upon perl, dpkg must deconfigure these packages, then remove perl. It then installs perl-base and perl in sequence and configures the packages that were unconfigured. During that process, a number of alarming warning messages are generated. If autoup.sh completes normally (displays a message saying you now have a libc6 system, and discusses wtmp and utmp), all of these warning messages may be ignored. When you enter dselect after autoup finishes, the best course of action is to use the access, update and install modules - don't even enter the select module. In that case all packages on your system that have an upgraded version (almost all of them) are automatically upgraded without any further action on your part. You are then free to use the select function to add any package you might desire. Most development libraries are removed by autoup.sh, and are not automatically replaced. Autoup.sh creates a file removed-today's_date in the current directory recording the packages that were removed.

Linux print server, windows machines
I've got kind of a rather lengthy question about windows machines printing to a linux print server. I'm rather new at this, but was asked to investigate these possibilities. Any help I could get would be great. I'm running hamm, 2.0.33 kernel, and need to connect several printers on our campus to the linux print server (whatever that may be: I don't know. Is there a print server type package I need to have installed?) All the printers will have ip addresses, via HP jetdirect boxes and cards. I will have several laptops that will need to be able to print to these printers. All the laptops will be running windows 98. I'm also running samba on my linux box, but haven't quite got the hang of it yet (getting closer). Is this the service I need to allow the windows machines to print to the linux print server? Do I need to specify anything in the smb.conf file (ip addresses, etc.) or is that done somewhere else in a different package? Any help I could get to get started would be great. If I need to give more info. before any of you can formulate an answer, let me know that as well.

Permedia 2 AGP gfx card with Debian ?
Hi there, I had a tad bit of problems getting a GLoria Synergy AGP by ELSA to run using the XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria server (as XFree cannot support binary-only servers). One of the problems might be that SuSE still uses libc5 while I am installing Debian 2.0 Beta... Actually it should work nevertheless as I installed the compatibility libs libc5 and xlib6. Also I tried both, just setting XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria in /etc/X11/Xservers and doing syslinking in /usr/X11R6/bin by hand - to no avail: The Xserver runs -probeonly but when started properly the complete system hangs with a black screen after a few monitor syncs (no Ctrl-Alt-Del or Ctrl-Alt-Backspace). It shouldn't be a XF86Config problem either, as we used SuSe's xf86config and linked XF86Config to /etc/X11, Debian-style...

Re: two suggestions re autoup.sh
Hi, It's not my script - that honor belongs to Craig Sanders [EMAIL PROTECTED], who saw the need and developed it. I made some minor contributions, and wrote the README. The necessity of running dselect several times is a dpkg/dselect issue that is well known, and is mentioned in install.txt (which comes with the boot floppies) and other documents. I agree that it would be useful to repeat this advice in the script's closing message and in the README. If these are revised again before release, I will try to include that information. The predepends problems are a result of the way dpkg/dselect handle installation. The new dpkg interface apt (formerly deity) uses much more sophisticated ordering algorithms, and eliminates or minimizes such problems. autoup.sh is intended to perform the critical upgrades necessary to make it safe to used dpkg/dselect for the balance of the installation. Modifying it to eliminate predepends problems later would be extending its functionality beyond the purposes for which it was intended. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.

Bug reporting proceedure, was Re: Bug#24066: libc6: rsh segfaults as , a result of new libc 2.0.7r2
Before I start whining ;-) I want to thank Steve for the useful information in his bug report, and although his bug report is a duplicate report, and that is what I am here to complain about, I appreciate his report and am not directing this at him specifically. I have never experienced this probem with bug reports until I took on the glibc package. The willingness of folks to report bugs against this package is admirable, but without some prudence it creates many, many, many... duplicates of every problem, sometimes with wildly different subject lines. What I am requesting is that the submitter of a bug take some time, in exchange for the time they expect from the maintainer, and verify that the bug has not been reported already. If it has, it is appropriate to send the maintainer a confirmation that you also experienced the bug and any additional information you can contribute to the solution. This confirmation should be CC'd to the original bug report, for continuity purposes. But creating an additional report is both confusing and administrativly ugly. I am not looking to stifle information flow about bugs. I am suggesting that if the reporter of the bug will spend some time doing the filing correctly the task becomes possible and the end user and the maintainer both benefit.

RE: Linux/WinNT dual booting
Check out the Linux+NT-Loader mini-HOWTO. Basically run LILO to create a Linux boot sector. Here's an example lilo.conf: compact boot=/dev/hdb6 image=/vmlinux root=/dev/hdb6 read-only This assumes that Linux is installed on the second logical partition on disk 2. Change hdb6 as needed. Add kernel options as needed. After running LILO, copy the boosector to a file: dd if=/dev/hdb6 of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 Copy the bootsect.lnx file to the partition where boot.ini and the NT loader reside (perhaps via floppy if the partition is not mounted). Add the following line to the [operating systems] section of the boot.ini file: c:\bootsect.lnx=Linux You'll want to replace your current LILO MBR with the original one by booting into DOS and running fdisk /mbr or using dd to restore the LILO backed up copy. Make sure the NT partition is active. After reboot, you should see Linux listed in the NT boot loader menu.

All we can do at this point is mail S.u.S.E. and request that they compile a few libc6 bins of their servers. For now, you can either go back to Debian 1.3 or you can just not run X and wait for S.u.S.E. to make libc6 bins available. Good luck with your system. .- Brian Weiss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.got.net/~brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

SMP, again
hmm. I don't seem to be getting this. From what I've read, All I need for an SMP kernel is to change two lines to /usr/doc/linux/Makefile, so that it reads # NOTE! SMP is experimental. See the file Documentation/SMP.txt # SMP = 2 # # SMP profiling options and then do the normal make, lilo, and reboot sequence. After which, top should show two loads rather than one. Instead, though, I still only get one load. I've tried the ocumentation, but it all seems to be lists of what hasn't been done (SMP.txt) and technical writing about how SMP is implemented (smp.tex and the howto). rick -- These opinions will not be those of ISU until it pays my retainer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I can give you a file that provides a mirror of the frozen distribution in just one mirror package (plus one for the non-US stuff). It does create the directories for non-binary-i386, but it doesn't download any of the files in those directories. It's worked great for me and I've done two from-scratch installations with my mirror without a hitch. Email me if you want a copy. If there's enough interest I'll send it to the group.

Re: SMP, again
My understanding of this was that SMP was a logical flag which, when set to 1, would automatically handle any number of processors up to 16 or so. Perhaps 16 is going a bit far but it works fine with 2. J. Goldman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Modem slowdown after hamm upgrade?
Hi there I've a dual PPro unit that has been a 33K6 PPP PAP dialin server for the last year (hamm for the last 3 months), and worked fine, so long as I ran pppd v2.2 - I kept the old binary lying around and just symlinked it back in after every ppp update from hamm, because the v2.3 binary didn't work, and I couldn't be bothered working out why :-). Since installing the hamm beta a few days back, my PPP performance has plummeted - everything still works, but I get ~1Kbps rather than the ~33Kbps I'd normally see. Since then I've tried 2.0.34 with ppp 2.2, and 2.1.107 with ppp 2.3.5, to no avail. Everything seems to work fine (users authenticate OK etc), just deathly slow. There are two modems in the box, showing identical behaviour (both are setserial'd to spd_vhi, and both are set to 115200 in the ppp options file), and a 14K4 in another hamm machine shows similar poor performance. From my (hamm) box at home, with a 56K modem, connected to a local 56K ISP, I get (running 'pppstats -w 10' while an FTP is going on): IN PACK VJCOMP VJUNC VJERR | OUT PACK VJCOMP VJUNC 47905 35 35 0 0 | 268 19 18 0 47981 36 35 0 0 | 213 20 19 0 49461 38 36 0 0 | 269 19 18 0 47981 36 35 0 0 | 258 18 17 0 49038 35 35 0 0 | 201 19 18 0 Same machine dialed into the 33K server at work, with an FTP happening: IN PACK VJCOMP VJUNC VJERR | OUT PACK VJCOMP VJUNC 1029 3 2 0 0 | 94 2 1 0 1017 2 2 0 0 | 120 4 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 |0 0 0 0 509 1 1 0 0 | 94 2 1 0 508 1 1 0 0 | 26 2 1 0 I have no idea what is going on here - that's a 10 second gap when nothing happened at all! I've also run a test with minicom and sz, and that showed similar performance - around the ~1Kbps mark, so I'm pretty confidant the problem doesn't lie with ppp, rather that something has changed in the serial port or mgetty setup in the new system? Any ideas welcome - my users are about to send out the lynch mob, and the idea of moving the modems back to a bo box doesn't really appeal.

SOLUTION? how to hold mail in another machine temporarily
Hi folks, I asked some days ago here how to make another machine hold the mail while the main mail server is down. People told me to put another MX record in the dns to point to the temporary machine. Sure this is necessary, but I don't think it's enough. First, the temp machine must recognize all users, otherwise it'll bounce the message. Second, I'd like it to not only queue the mail but *dump it on the main one when it comes up*. If I just put the MX record, the secondary will hold the mail in IT'S /var/spool/mail, and users will not automatically get it. I found a solution: For every user, put a forward in /etc/aliases pointing directly to the main server (argh...). This works, but it's ugly. Is there a better way (using sendmail or other MTA)?

Re: SOLUTION? how to hold mail in another machine temporarily
Carlos qmail (www.qmail.org) has a feature called smtproutes that allows you to set up a machine with a higher MX to hold the mail in a local queue until the machine with the lower MX comes back up, then deliver to the main box. No additional users needed, and it works well.
