Re: Adding non packages to menu?
I've had mixed success with this. One way is to take the name of an existing package on your system which does not have a menu and put it in /usr/lib/menu with that name. Another is to make a user-specific menu in ~/.menu and run update-menus as that user. This has worked sporadically for me. You should be able to put the files in /etc/menu.

If I understand you correctly, you want to compile source packages using sudo, and have the sudo rights restricted to only those programs that the source packages need? That approach doesn't work: source packages can and do call a very large number of binaries. If you're concerned about security when building source packages, you should not use sudo or super, but you should install fakeroot and build -rfakeroot . Fakeroot requires no priviledges a user doesn't have already, so it's safe.

On Sun, 12 Jul 1998, George Bonser wrote:
From the Exim documentation:
The `pipe' transport can be used to pass all messages that require local
delivery to a separate local delivery agent such as `procmail'. When doing
this, care must be taken to ensure that the pipe is run under an
appropriate uid and gid. Typically one wants this to be a uid that is
trusted by the delivery agent to
supply the correct sender of the message. It may be necessary to recompile
or reconfigure the delivery agent so that it trusts an appropriate user.
The following is an example transport and director configuration for
`procmail':
# transport
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = /opt/local/bin/procmail -d ${local_part}
from_hack
user = exim
# director
procmail:
driver = localuser
transport = procmail_pipe
In this example, the pipe is run as the user `exim', assuming that
`procmail'
trusts that user. Note that the command that the pipe transport runs does
not
begin with
IFS=
as shown in the `procmail' documentation, because Exim does not by default
use a shell to run pipe commands.

Re: Mouse not working
Hi there, Firstly I should mention that you should download and install the VGA-16 xserver so that you can just type XF86Setup to set up the mouse and everything else. That said, it sounds like you have either not compiled PS/2 mouse support into your kernel or you didn't install the module for PS/2 mouse support during the initial install of Debian. It is located in the 'misc' section during the 'configure the base system' part of the install. If support is in the kernel then /dev/psaux should be the device name for the PS/2 mouse, at least 99% of the time as far as I know. Now if you did forget to do this during the initial install of Debian then as far as I know you'll have to either: a) reinstall Debian, which might not be a bad idea if you haven't installed a whole lot of software yet. b) recompile the kernel. If you want to recompile the kernel, download the kernel-source and kernel-package packages and install them and then do this: $ cd /usr/src/kernel-source* $ make menuconfig (this is much nicer to use than 'make config') $ make-kpkg kernel-image $ cd .. $ dpkg -i kernel-image* That should do the trick to get your mouse going.

Iomega Ditto tape unreliable?
Hallo, I have been using an internal Iomega Ditto 2G tape for some time now to make backups - both in Dos and in Linux. In Dos, it works wonderfully well and efficient. However, as soon as you want to verify or restore backups made using Linux frustration starts: A lot of errors start showing. Over the weekend I was trying to restore from a recently made backup which was made using dump. Restore ran for a few hours without restoring a single file from the selection I made and in the end gave up with a hardware error notice. I then got hold of a new tape, made a backup using tob. I cannot get tob to read back from a backup made by tob so I used afio to verify the backup. It has been running now for about 12 hours and did not finish the job yet. There is about 1 gig data on the tape compressed to about 560meg. This is just not acceptable. When done in Dos it takes about 3 hours to backup and verify 600 meg of data. Is there hope for a reliable backup and restore program in Linux? I have tried tob, tbackup, dump and restore and no one so far could give me the impression that the system is reliable. -- | Johann Spies Windsorlaan 19 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]3201 Pietermaritzburg | | Tel/Faks Nr. +27 331-46-1310 Suid-Afrika (South Africa) | -- Let your character be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you.

'plog' reports: abort on (NO DIALTONE) send (ATDT^M) expect (my ISPs phone no) pppd2.0 started by root, uid 0 Device ttyS1 is locked by pid 170 Exit ATDT^M^M Busy -- failed Failed (Busy) Connect script failed The process that seems to be causing the problem is: sbin/mgetty ttyS1 but I don't know why this is running, what its doing, and I can't find where its started up from. Any help appreciated! Graham -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
cirrus logic/sparklies (newbie)
Hi, I'm having problems setting up X which I think are due to my graphic card settings. I have what I thought was a pretty standard card which the drivers are there for. The card has a Cirrus CL-GD5446BV with 2 MB of ram. Superprobe identifies both ok. I used xf86config to set up the configuration file and can't see anything wrong there (as suggested I've set no clock settings). I'm using fvwm2. When I start up X I get small dots appearing round anything that moves (a window if I drag it, fish if I start xfishtank, etc). Some of the dots stay visible (this effect does occasionally appear under Win95, but only within scrollbars around windows. Otherwise there are no graphics problems at all under Win95). I're tried turning off both acceleration and bitblt, but that makes things worse: in particular, if I generate text wider than a window (eg by ls -al) the window is redrawn with multiple overlapping copies of itself. If I force a redraw most times the dots go away. Any suggestions? Thanks Graham -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Re: sound recording under linux

I've got a cheap hack of a sound studio on my pc -- only under windows now, though, and I'd rather do this under linux. [...] Granted this is no professional studio, but it does the trick, and fairly well. The requirements, though, are that I need a full duplex driver for my Sound Blaster AWE 32 pnp ISA sound card. This driver is free for Windows. I can purchase a full duplex driver for linux from a company (I forget their name). Anyway, before I spend on the full duplex driver, does anyone know of some good software that I can use -- I need a midi drum programmer, some decent recording software, and some mixing software (that can merge two sound files). I've got most of this for free under Windows, so I'd like to keep it free for Linux. (BTW, the midi drum machine is called The Wizard -- it's pretty sharp, I'd like something similar for linux). I think SLab is what could fill many of your needs. SLab is a large set of sound tools that are combined in a tcl/tk-GUI. It comes with a harddisk recorder, a mixer, an effects rack and lots more (but no MIDI yet). It can do full duplex with the OSS commercial sound driver.

Re: newbie ppp problem
Hello! When I start 'pon', the modem beeps as if engaged but never dials a number. 'plog' reports: abort on (NO DIALTONE) send (ATDT^M) expect (my ISPs phone no) ^^ Well, it SHOULD NOT expect your IPS's phone no, but it should expect a CONNECT answer from the modem. Check your dialing string beginning with ATDT, it should not contain any spaces. It must be one word together with the phone no, so something like: ATDT01234 If it doesn't help, just let me know. The process that seems to be causing the problem is: sbin/mgetty ttyS1 Hmmm - you do not need mgetty, do you? Mgetty is used only if someone else would like to connect _your_ machine through a modem from outside. Unless your are making a dial-in Linux box, you do not need it. but I don't know why this is running, what its doing, and I can't find where its started up from. Any help appreciated!

2.0 installation
Hello, I am trying to install Debian for the first time on my PC, and everything seems straightforward enough. Using the instructions for installing version 2.0, I wrote the rescue floppy and downloaded via web browser the files necessary for installation from DOS partition on a harddisk. During the installation of the base system, though, an error message pops up: No directory containing base1_3.tgz below /instmnt It is my understanding that /instmnt is the linux directory for installation, and that the harddisk installation fetches the files I copied to my DOS directory named tempinst. Should I also place a copy of base1_3.tgz in this directory, in addition to the base2_0.tgz that I already have? Please send any comments you can, and if you need more details about my system or what I am doing please ask. Thanks in advance, and I am looking forward to running Debian Linux!

Re: proxy services what is available?
I would say SOCKS is easier than TIS. I have used both but have done limited configuration and maintenance of TIS while I've done lots with SOCKS. TIS is an application level proxy while SOCKS is a socket level proxy. TIS will give you more fine-tuned control. SOCKS allows you to control access according to source machine/port, dest machine/port and also by user. SOCKS basically knows about making network connections, but doesn't know anything about the data that's sent over that connection. In TIS there are different proxies for different services, specific to the operation application. I think SOCKS is easier to configure (but I know socks intimately). The server itself needs a single config file with as few as two lines. I like SOCKS because it allows what's known as Authenticated Firewall Traversal. This allows you to set up a VPN. For me this is a big bonus because my company has a number of offices and all are connected to the internet. Anyway I'd be glad to help you set up a socks server. I recommend using socks5 (it supports UDP, better auth control, etc. etc.). I don't think there's a debian package for it. I can point you to the source or package up my own binaries for you if you wish. I've been meaning to package it but just don't have the time. Keith Alen Vance wrote: I need to setup a proxy server. What is a available and what is the easiest to configure and setup. What is the difference between TIS proxy server and the SOCKS proxy server? My main emphasis is on ease of install.

Two Questions
Hi Everyone, I am a Debian newbie. Actually I'm ALMOST a Linux newbie. My system environment is as follows: IBM Mod 365 200 MHz Pentium Pro system (32 MB RAM) HD 0 is a 2.5 GB IDE (NT 4.0 loaded) HD1 is a 540 MB IDE (Linux) Network Card is an IBM Auto 16/4 Token Ring ISA card I'm using BOOTPART to allow my NT boot manager to boot Linux Here are my questions/problems: 1. After I installed the base disks and went through the config steps, I got to the point where I was asked whether I wanted to set up Linux to boot from the HD. I said 'yes'. I received an error message telling me that it was impossible to boot from the second HD, even though it used to work fine with Red Hat 4.2. I was expecting the config program to ask me whether I wanted to use the MBR or place the boot sector on the first track of the Linux boot partition, but it didn't. 2. When I tried to reboot the system (by selecting my 'Linux' choice from the NT boot menu), I got the following screen: Disk formatted with WinImage 2.20 (c) 1993-95 Gilles Vollant. Bootsector from C. H. Hochstatter. No Systemdisk. Booting from harddisk. Cannot load from harddisk. Insert Systemdisk and press any key. 3. I inserted my rescue disk and pressed enter. At the boot: prompt, I entered: rescue root=/dev/hdb1 4. The system responded with: Loading linux . . . and proceeded with the boot process. After the normal two dozen or so boot messages, I got to the following point in the boot process: Checking all file systems . . . Parallelizing fsck version 1.10 (24-Apr-97) /dev/hdb5: clean, 11/16632 files, 2129/66496 blocks /dev/hdb6: clean, 2333/92520 files, 22425/368641 blocks Mounting local file systems . . . /dev/hdb5 on /home type ext2 (rw) /dev/hdb6 on /usr type ext2 (rw) and then my system froze up tight. I suspect that the boot freezeup is some kind of difugilty with the Token Ring card (I never did get it to work with Red Hat 4.2). A few lines earlier on the boot process, I got messages indicating that the tr0 device was found, but I never received any message indicating that the adapter had been opened successfully. I'd really like to get the TR support to work, because that's what we use here at work, and I'd like to be able to use Linux to connect to the LAN. I know I have all the IP stuff set up correctly, because I had our telecomm guru on the line while I was filling in the blanks.

Unknow pci device
I'm having a problem with debian install disks. Although the last kernel stable version is 2.0.34, the installation disks comes with 2.0.27 that causes an error in my computer. Unknow pci device: 'address' : Read include/linux/pci.h With slackware 3.5 boot disks, the kernel version is 2.0.34 and this error don't occur. With Slackware 3.2 (kernel 2.0.27) a receive the same error. How can I fix this? Something like generate another boot disk, or install first slackware and debian after. Thanx Anderson R.

I've looked at this tool a little bit, however, and I don't think it is really all that useful. There's a lot of stuff it can't do that is standard functionality in dselect. Basically, Kpackage seems like it's nothing more than a replacement for typing 'dpkg -i .deb'.

Re: Unknow pci device
This is not a big problem. It will not affect you in anyway. What it means is that the PCI detection routine could not identify either your motherboard PCI controller or a device on the PCI bus. It will still work, just not have a name. Look in /proc/pci to see what I mean. This error is from the kernel, not Debian, Slackware or RH.

pascal.+development
Hello fellow users! It's a weird newbie question I'm about to ask. but what about Pascal? you all seem to write in C or PERL, but I like pascal. when I checked the pascal compiler I found it required all types of libraries, libc5. but shouldn't it cause some problems to libc6? I am not an experienced programmer, but would like to improve that in Debian linux environment. Is there (rather what are) C and Pascal complete developments environments like TurboPascal and TurboC from borland I'm using? TIA. sorry for the stupidity. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Re: Unknow pci device
Ignore it for now. It is harmless. As you suspect, it is kernel related. Both bo and hamm have 2.0.34 kernel packages. You can select a more recent kernel later in your installation process, or compile your own.

a simple drawing program?
Is there a simple, easily usable, drawing package that's been debianized? I really don't need anything more complicated than venn diagram type stuff. MacDraw 1.0 would more than meet my needs. I've looked at gimp, which is overkill (and annoying on an 8 bit display due to colormap demands), and tgif, which seems to want to rotate my text and do other fancy stuff, as well as being a bit awkward in the interface. rick -- These opinions will not be those of ISU until it pays my retainer. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
