Hay una tecla para responder al 'grupo' de direcciones (g), y otra para reesponder a la lista (L), aunque a mi con esta lista no me funciona, me dice que no hay. Tienes que decirle que listas son. Lo que haces es separar con procmail los mensajes de una lista a un fichero independiente.

Re: jed y mutt
Podrias explicarte un poco mejor con eso del procmail. Utilizas algun script especial? El procmail es un MDA (Mail Delivery Agent, Agente de Entrega de Correo). Los componentes en un sistema decente de correo (con intención de insulto ;-) son: * MTA: Mail Transport Agent, Agente de Transporte de Correo. Es el que se encarga en mover el correo de un lado a otro. El Smail o el Sendmail por ejemplo. * MDA: Mail Delivery Agent, Agente de Entrega de Correo. Es el encargado de entregar el correo al usuario. El Deliver o el Procmail. * MUA: Mail User Agent, hmmm... ¿Agente de Correo del Usuario? El programa que el usuario usa para leer el correo. El Pine, mail, Mutt, etc. En mi caso concreto, yo uso el smail en casa para hacer una cola que, cuando se realiza una conexión a la red, es despachada por ese programa. Para jalar el correo de mi servidor a mi casa uso el fetchmail leyendo cuentas POP e IMAP. Aquí el Smail y el fetchmail son mis MTA's. Al fetchmail le digo: defaults user mmagallo is mmagallo here limit 32768 mda formail -s procmail Así le indico que el procmail es el MDA. El procmail usa un archivo ~/.procmailrc(5) que dice en parte: MAILDIR=$HOME/mail DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/INBOX :0: * ^X-Mailing-List.*debian-user-spanish listas/DEBIAN/SP :0: * ^Sender.*wmaker listas/WMaker :0: * ^TO.*debian-user listas/DEBIAN/i386 Esas líneas le indican al procmail donde colocar el correo. En orden dicen: * Si en los encabezados del mensaje hay una línea que comienza con X-Mailing-List y luego en esa línea dice debian-user-spanish, entonces ponga ese mensaje en listas/DEBIAN/SP, que es relativo a MAILDIR. * Si en los encabezados hay una línea que inicia con Sender y luego dice wmaker, ponga los mensajes en listas/WMaker * Si hay un mensaje dirijido a debian-user (pero no debian-user-spanish, pues eso ya fue procesado), entonces colóquelo en listas/DEBIAN/i386. Es dirijido (entre comillas) pues puede ser Cc:, directamente, reenviado, y otras posibilidades. Se pueden hacer cosas más complicadas (descartar mensajes, responderlos, o ejecutar cosas según su contenido), pero en realidad lo básico es lo que pongo arriba. El Mutt es capaz de leer correo de varios casilleros, así yo le indico: mailboxes = INBOX \ `echo ~/mail/listas/DEBIAN/*` \ =listas/WMAKER y tengo g 'pegado' a 'change-folder', así que le puedo decir g, [Tab], y seleccionar la carpeta a leer. Todo esto lo inventó alguien para lidiar con la total insanidad que representa *tratar* de leer el correo diario... Saludos, Marcelo
¿Algún usuario de WindowMaker?
Hola gente, algún usuario de WindowMaker por aquí... Alfredo Kojima está pidiendo ayuda para traducir los pot's de WindowMaker 0.19.0 de inglés a varios idiomas. Por lo que yo entiendo todavía nadie ha pedido la traducción al español. Yo lo haría, pero a) no creo tener el tiempo (no es mucho, para alguien bueno digitando, no debería llevar más de una o dos horas); b) no hablo español... o mejor dicho, el español que yo hablo (en particular en computación) es distinto al español que se habla en España, y por algún extraño motivo creo que sería mejor si la traducción se hace en español español.

Re: urge: DEBIAN 2.0
Hola muchacho, como ya comente en la lista me estoy encargando de hacer los CDs para LA de Debian 2.0, ayer mismo grabe el binary-i386 (main) y las fuentes, aunque es posible que no sea el CD que se entregue en la revista porque se van a hacer unos pequeños cambios en las imagenes de los CDs de Debian y espero poder coger estos cambios para los CDs que vayan en la revista. Asi pues, y si los comentarios de Antonio Castro no te frenan :) te podria pasar una copia del CD de binary-i386, para que instalaras al menos los componentes 'main' de Debian-2.0, los paquetes de contrib, y non-free tendrias que obtenerlos de la red (lo cual supongo que no sera ningun problema ya que lo paga la empresa :) No te puedo asegurar la fiabilidad del CD porque aun no lo he probado, pero lo grabe de la imagen oficial y la grabacion no tuvo ningun problema (salvo por el hecho de cargarme dos CDs previamente, y es que la grabacion a 2x en un Win95 es poco menos que imposible).

PPP - comienzo
Para configurar el acceso a internet, ya he leído varias veces que es más fácil usando el pppconfig pero no me aparece por ninguna parte. Todo (o casi todo) lo que instalé con el dselect fue (creo): ppp, bind, dip, smail, fetchmail, procmail,... Ahora bien, en la documentación me aparece lo siguiente: -Outbound Setup Editar fichero /etc/ppp.chatscript y asegurarse de que contiene lo necesario para llamar a tu servidor, y eventualmente empezar ppp. Editar fichero /etc/ppp.options_out ... si necesitas usar autentificación PAP-Password, añadirle user username. Editar fichero /etc/ppp/pap-secrets y añadir contraseña. ... ¿Tiene algo que ver el PAP-Password con la contraseña que tengo para acceder a mi proveedor de internet? Si es así, ¿sólo debo añadir una línea con user identificador a /etc/ppp.options_out, y luego la contraseña en /etc/ppp/pap_secrets? -Inbound Setup (asume que mgetty0.99 está instalado) Editar /etc/ppp/options y descomentar las líneas del nameserver. Poner la dirección IP que desees que los usuarios utilicen para sus name services. ... no entiendo lo de mgetty, pero bueno, lo instalaré. La dirección IP imagino que se refiere a algo como: pop.vlc.servicom.es; lo que no sé es qué es eso de name services. ... Copiar el fichero /etc/ppp/options.XX de modo que tengas un fichero de opciones para cada puerto de serie en el que corras mgetty. Dale a cada puerto de serie una dirección IP en esos archivos ... Aquí me pierdo totalmente. ... Inbound dialup using dialup scripts: Una sesión ppp se puede establecer desde el prompt (¿castellano?) ejecutando /usr/sbin/pppd. El usuario está limitado al uso de la dirección IP asignada en /etc/ppp/options.ttyname ¿Significa esto que puedo prescindir de lo anterior y no instalar mgetty? Permissions Puedes controlar el acceso a pon, poff y plog, mediante los permisos en /etc/ppp.chatscript y /etc/ppp.options_out... --- Disculpadme por lo simple de las preguntas, pero no tengo ni idea de cómo ni por dónde empezar. En principio, la configuración de ppp está claro que me permitirá la conexión, pero luego necesitaré configurar los distintos programas (smail, ...) para poder usar la conexión. A parte, tengo dos cuentas de correo, una la normal por mi servidor (servicom), y otra que utiliza un POP3 propio para enviar correo (pop03.correo.com) y como SMTP el de servicom (pop.vlc.servicom.es). Todo esto no sé cómo traducirlo para Linux, ni siquiera las DNS (bueno, eso creo que estaba claro en /etc/ppp/options). Ah, y el modem, ¿se configura? ¿cómo? ¿o es eso mentalidad DOS/Win?

Re: CD de HAMM detectado de forma diferente
No tienes el CD ni el ordenador mal, ni tampoco es raro el CD. Como bien has visto el cd es ISO 9660 Joliet, para que pueda botarse de el (las BIOS que tiene soporte para arranque de CD). Sin embargo Linux te va a decir que la imagen es ISO 9660 (que lo es) pero no mucho mas. Vamos, que tu mismo te has contestado a tu pregunta :) La razon de porque no ves los links en casa es porque en Windows.. no hay links.. (lo ves con Windows no?) simplemente, y no es capaz de utilizarlos, Linux sin embargo si. No soy un experto en CDs, asi que me podeis corregir si me equivoco...

Servidores de chat
Hola Deseo instalar un servicio supongo que sea de chat Tengo referencia de servicios que se ofertan en Internet que permiten: 1. Intercambio de mensajes online 2. Conversar con empleo de multimedia punto a punto 3. LLamadas a numeros telefonicos por un servidor permitiendo una conversacion. Del 1 y 2 hasta lo que conosco se puede lograr con software NetMeeting de Microsoft y existen sitios chat web que aparentemente con Java permiten esto. Del 3 existe al menos un servicio pagado en USA el Net2Phon que lo posibilita. Por lo que quisiera saber: Existe para linux algun software que me permita estas posibilidades? Conocen algun apple de Java que se pueda obtener para ello? En caso de no existir nada, me pueden dar alguna idea de como acometer la programacion, al menos con referencia a que lenguaje de programacion tendria mas herramientas para poder dar solucion al caso 3 que considero es el mas complicado.

Re: What is hurd?
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write: The Hurd uses the Mach microkernel: microkernels are supposedly more efficient, but somewhere I read (I vaguely think it was by Linus, arguing with Tanenbaum about whether Minix was superior to Linux) that in the Real World, microkernels aren't as superior to monolithic kernels as they are theoretically supposed to be. Also, loadable modules give Linux some of the flexibility of microkernels. A very interesting and important difference as far as I understand it, is that _users_ may write, compile and install there own drivers into the kernel, without becoming root or rebooting, and without affecting the drivers used by others on the system. This goes as far as giving the possibility to provide different OS environments to different users, so in theory you could have `windows98' and `linux' running at the same time on the same machine without the kind of overhead you'd expect from an emulator. Also, unlike most kernels (even microkernel), Hurd is very modular. Every operating system service can be implemented as a seperate Mach process. That would mean - As explained above, modules can be written and customized by any user, without rebooting, and without affecting the security of the computer. - If a module, eg NFS client system fails, it can be restarted, without doing any damage to the rest of the system, as it would run as a seperate Mach process. - Any user can mount extra filesystems (aka translators), not just root. - In theory (mine at least) the amount of code running as root code can be minimized. A process can give extra user privileges to any other process (within security limits of course, I am not sure how these are defined). For instance, a telnet daemon would not have to run as root, but instead could run as the special user nobody (that means the process has no UIDs). As soon as it gets the password from the user, it can send it to a password process, which changes the priviliges of the telnet process to that user after checking that the password matches. This password process is the only process running on the system that would need access to the shadow password file. I believe the same concept could be applied to most other processes that need to run as root, as typically only a small amount of code actually needs to be root. Of course, it is important not to let the terminology get confusing. For instance, the above poster said drivers can be customized without being root or rebooting. I don't think this includes low level drivers though, such as physical ethernet, harddisk, SCSI, CD-ROM access, which must be compiled in to the MACH kernel (I might be wrong). Instead it applies to high-level support, such as filesystems, program execution, shared-library support and distributed program execution.

-DSYSV causes clash between X11/Xosdefs.h and stddef.h ???
When compiling a file with g++ (egcs-2.90.29), I get different typedefs for wchar_t, i.e. X11/Xosdefs.h : typedef long wchar_t stddef.h : typedef int wchar_t The source file includes stdlib.h and X11/Xlib.h, which is not unusual. In X11/Xosdefs.h there is #ifdef i386 #ifdef SYSV #if !(defined(ISC) defined(_POSIX_SOURCE)) #ifndef SCO #ifndef _SCO_DS /* SCO 5.0 has SVR4 header files */ #define X_NOT_POSIX #endif #define X_NOT_STDC_ENV #endif #endif /* !(defined(ISC) defined(_POSIX_SOURCE)) */ #endif #endif In X11/Xlib.h, X_NOT_STDC_ENV causes X_WCHAR to be defined and, consequently, the typedef. My question is, is this a bug in the X header files, i.e. should debian(linux) be treated like SCO? -DSYSV is needed to compile some other files correctly; at least, I assume that linux is SYSV-like.

Copy entire filesystem
I have gotten a new, larger harddisk, and wish to use it to expand my existing linux box. I would like to copy the filesystems off the old hard disk, and replace it with this one. So far I haven't succeeded. I haven't been able to confine tar's action to a single filesystem (so that directories linked to directories on other filesystems, on the other system drive, will not be copied. Included is the linux boot filesystem, /dev/hda2. I basically want the current drive duplicated to the new drive, with larger partitions, and another partition. When I thought I had it right, and edited /etc/fstab using a rescue disk, the disk failed somehow. My questions are, again, how to copy a filesystem but not it's linked directories from other drives, and, second, how to do this whole job successfully. I don't want to reinstall debian, since there is so much software on the system that I would have to reinstall. Is there a clean way to do that whole job, though? Thanks again. (By the way, we now have slackware 3.4 running on the gateway 2K 486 machine that was donated to our department. I plan to get this going right, now, and start working on the department LAN.

DE-220 Ethernet Card
Hi, Has anyone got the DE-220 EtherNet Card to work with Linux ? It is a popular and very available card which is supposed to be ne2000 compatible but is obviously not 100% compatible. It has PnP support and jumperless configuration. The HOWTO says that a lot of the ne2000 clones are not likely to work. But I thought seeing as this was so popular and widespread that it might. In my 486 it set it up as IRQ=10 and IO=340 but the device installer told me that the resource was busy or missing. I also borrowed a sn2000 from a friend without any luck either. I would welcome any info or help, Thanks Nicholas
ppp - no response to LCP ConfReq
Hello I have been having a terrible time fixing a PPP connection on my linux system. Everything was working fine till 2 days ago. Win95 can still connect so I looked at the ppplog.txt file there and comparing it to previous connects, it looks like the authentication procedure on the server has changed from PAP to CHAP. I have setup the chap-secrets file accordingly as well as set the name and remotename options. After the call comes up and chat hands over to pppd, I get these messages Aug 26 03:35:37 nsx pppd[9455]: Connect: ppp0 -- /dev/ttyS1 Aug 26 03:35:37 nsx pppd[9455]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 asyncmap 0x0 magic 0x9001 pcomp accomp] Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx last message repeated 10 times Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx pppd[9455]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx pppd[9455]: Modem hangup Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx pppd[9455]: Connection terminated. Aug 26 03:36:08 nsx pppd[9455]: Exit. It looks like I send the LCP ConfReq for 30 secs then the modem hangs up. There appears to be no response from the server at all. I also noticed that the option lcp-max-configure has no effect on the number of requests I send, contrary to what is in the man page. What does work is the lcp-restart option. With this I can control the interval between the LCP requests but still after 30 secs LCP configure requests stop and the modem hangs up. Is there a setting for controlling the time for which LCP requests are sent. Right now I am lost. I have RTFM but if I have missed anything please point it out. I have kernel v2.0.34 on a hamm system with ppp 2.3.5. TIA jmb

Hmmm. What are the permissions on /tmp? Should be drwxrwxrwxt; if
not, this can break it. It could be anything, but this is one I know can be
a problem. In the Debian 1.1 1.2 days I would find the permissions
on /tmp were reset regularly but fortunately this has not
happened in 1.3 or 2.0!
Thank you for you reply. /tmp is just a link to /arch/tmp/ (/arch is my
local Debian mirror) and the permissions are just as you told above.
It's really strange (BTW, accidentally I have just replaced my K5-PR166
by a K6-233 - but I can't believe that to be a reason for error. I have
a W95 partition (which I really only use to just test wine ;-) and there
seem to be no hardware problems with the Hercules Terminator graphics card.)
Anybody knows where to find the error messages?
Error 111 is just a socket error: Connection refused. I get them in my
own software if I run a client that connects to a socket before I run
the server that creates the socket.
See ECONNREFUSED in the man page for connect(2).
Wrong permission for /tmp is a very likely candidate for X problems as
X revolves around /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 which is a socket. But there are
plenty of other errors that will result in the same symptom, 111.
I run startx as a bash function:
function startx
{
echo Starting X
/usr/bin/X11/startx 2 ~/.startx.stderr
}
which has the great advantage that you can study .startx.stderr at your
leisure. Typically the real error message precedes the 111 error in that
file, and sod's law dictates that the former will have scrolled off the
screen.

error message at booting time
When my linux boot up, the following message make me uncomfortable.
1. Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card!
I don't have a SCSI card. How can I get rid of this line?
2. Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2
hdc:hdc: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
[PTBL] [523/255/63] hdc1 hdc2 hdc5
Does the above lines indicate an error? What do these mean? Why I have a hdc5(I
only have 1 FAT32 primary partition and 1 FAT 16 extended partition with 1
logical drive on my 2nd harddisk)?
Any help will be appreciated.

Help: Boot windows95 using LILO
My old configuration: 1st IDE Master: Windows 95 OSR2 1st IDE Slave: CD-ROM A few days ago I bought a new harddisk and changed the configuration to: 1st IDE Master: new harddisk 2nd IDE Master: Windows 95 OSR2 2nd IDE Slave: CD-ROM Then I installed Linux on the new harddisk. Everything is OK but I can't boot my Windows 95 again. Now, to boot Windows 95, I have to enter CMOS setup and set 1st IDE Master to NONE then reboot. To boot Linux again, I have to change back. What a pain! I've tried to add the following lines to lilo.conf: other=/dev/hdc1 label=win table=/dev/hdc But it doesn't work. When I enter 'win' at Boot: prompt, the system hangs up. Could anyone tell me what's wrong and what to do? Lots of thx!
