Re: IP Masq and debian
Hi there... I stumbled on the same problem and I am now running it with the scipt in /etc/rc.boot/ipmasq disabled, and a startup file similar to what you are using. It seems to be the simplest way to run IP masq. I ahaven't tried deciphering the script that uses /etc/ipmasq.conf to see what it does different from th 2 simple lines that seem to work just fine. I believe there is some fine line between setting up masqarading and protecting the system from the outside world, as setup in /etc/init.d/netbase spoofing section... I need to read some more and try to figure out how these itnerellate to each other. I think i have spoofing protection disabled on my machine; I commented out all the deny lines :) I hope some of this makes sense...helpful comments are always welcomed :) Dimitri At 06:31 PM 10/08/1998 -0400, Lee Bradshaw wrote: Hi, How am I supposed to use the ipmasq package with ppp?

Um do you NEED to? Generally I leave that one unanswered (answer Q I believe) I don't know if I need to, so I asked anyway. And yes, the answer's Q. 3) After goign through the entire xf86config process, (and givin no answer to the RAMDAC question), the config file is broken, and the xserver does not recognize the line Viewport0 0. What does that line mean, and what is the problem? can you do this... Nice trick... Is there something like DOS's prn to send to the printer in Debian? startx 2 err This will log the errors into a new file err...then post the contents of it so we can see the error? the relevant lines from the XF86Config file woul dbe apreciated also.

I am not sure what you are asking? Man progrmas could be considered X Clients in fact... every program which uses X is an X Client (since the screen itself is the Server). What specifically do you have in mind when you say X Client? What would be the most like the Windows' Shell. (Or LiteStep. See following question) Can you elaborate? Sure, see previous comment. =) 5) Since I'm using Litestep (http://www.litestep.net) in Win95, I'll probably be using AfterStep in Xwindows, Where can I find the wharfs/*.app things?

Netware server to Linux server
This is semi-off topic. I help administer a LAN at my school that is currently running on an underpowered Netware 3.12 server. We plan to replace the server with an extra PII 266 we have laying around. I personally would prefere to install Linux on the server instead of Netware (I have more experience with Linux). The computers running on the network a combination of Win95 machines and Win 3.11 machines. The server is used to store files and as a print server only. First of all, is there any software package that emulates a netware server for Linux? If not, would Samba then be the best route to go? Also, some of the teachers in charge of the network are not sure that Linux would be the best upgrade route, are there any arguments that I can use (they aren't the most computer literate people in the world, i.e. they would not be able to run the network with out students help)?

Re: IP Masq and debian
I think for the second line you don't need to specify the -D, if you only specify -S x.x.x.x/x then -D defaults to anywhere. ipfwadm -F -p deny ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/2 I am not using dynamic addressing but I did write some custom scripts that setup my ipmasq system, as the ones that came with the distribution are not so great. My suggestion to you is read the docs for PPP. /etc/ppp/ip.up and /etc/ppp/ip.down are executed when a ppp connection is connected/disconnected. The arguments to these scripts are the addresses negotiated during the connection so you could setup your ipmasq using this information easily. Hope this helps man..

Unidentified subject!
Hello, I was wondering whether anyone here uses openlook and whether they have ported the many interesting xview/openlook applications that exist (or know of Debian compatible ports). I've found a site at http://step.polymtl.ca/~coyote/xview_main.html which has libc5 binaries but some of them don't seem to work under Debian (even with the oldlib xview libs and the new xvlibs installed). I'm also having little luck in compiling the source (I'm not familiar with this whole process either...). If someone has already done this, or can give me suggestions on recompiling properly, I'd appreciate it. Thanks very much, Nebu Please cc: to my address as I can not sub to this list yet.

X and keymaps
I've got my system set up to use a personalized keymap via 'loadkeys' but when I start up X, inside X only recognizes the qwerty keys.

upgrade to hamm/ emacs and awk problems

Something made me think of looking at awk; it seems not to have been upgraded at all. When I looked for an awk .deb package on my 2.0 cd I could not find one.

Re: telnet localhost
Have you tried to telnet to your machine from a remote machine? If not check inetd.conf and make sure telnetd is running there. If it isn't put it in and then kill -HUP inetd's pid. If you have a default host.allow it should allow anyone so that is the problem and default hosts.deny is no problem either.

.xsession and xdm
I have linked my working .xinitrc file to .xsession so that I could run xdm. However, every time I log in, xdm does not seem to execute the .xsession file as stated in the man pages. Could someone tell me what is going on, and how to fix it? Thanks, chris
Quake2/3dfx
After just acquiring a 3dfx card from a friend, Using Quake2 is much more attractive.. :) My problem is the mouse. Since Quake2 does not use svgalib in 3dfx mode, I have no mouse. This upsets me..

Assigning IP addresses
I want to have a bunch of Debian Hamm machines get their IP addresses at boot time based on their ethernet address. These IP addresses are permanent for every machine i.e. each machine will be assigned the same IP address every time it boots. I would like to use another Debian Hamm machine to allocate these IP addresses. How can I do this? Any advice would be much appreciated. Kind Regards, Vincent Murphy

I can access eth0 (.17) from the w95 machine but I can not access any other part of the eth0 network. Try to ping the win95 box from some host on your eth0 network and watch with tcpdump on eth0 and eth1 what packets are sent. Sent me the output if you can't interpret it. If I have understood correctly subnetting with the netmask of 240 divides the network into 16 subnets... as my primary net has a netmask of 255.255.255.0 then the machine addresses are 0.0.0.* which is incompatible with puting a netmask of .240 on the eth1. No, your 147.83.61.* still remains a net with netmask 255.255.255.0 A 4 bit subnet is then cut from this and routed elsewhere. TCP/IP will obey the most specific rule, i.e. if an address fits two routing rules, it will obey the one with the smallest subnet. Every PC on eth0 except your linux box will think, the win95 box is directly on it's wire. To send a packet there, it will make a broadcast, asking for the hardware address. Your linux box answers with it's own hardware address and gets the packet. This is the part the arp command is for. No the linux box has a packet from e.g. 147.83.61.7 to 147.83.61.194, i.e. not for itself. So it should route the packet. Where to? It fits the 255.255.255.0 netmask on eth0 and the 255.255.255.240 netmaks on eth1, so the smallest subnet is chosen, i.e. eth1. The rule for eth1 says, it should be accessible directly, so your linux box will broadcast on eth1 asking for the hardware address of 147.83.61.194. The win95 box should answer and get the packet. Now backwards: win95 sends out a packet with target 147.83.61.7. This is not on it's wire (netmask to small), so it is sent to the default gateway, the linux box. The linux box forwards it on eth0 because it's the only interface that fits. So much for the theory. tcpdump should reveal why it is not working.

CD Writer Recommendation

SCSI is a good idea. I have heard of timing problems with other interfaces. What software do I need? Is it included in Hamm? Yes. The cdrecord package provides cd-recording software. And there's xcdroast if you want a gui version. Make sure your kernel is compiled with scsi generic support.

The scsi 2 has a jaz drive on it and the scsi 3 my hard disk. Whatever card you connect the writer to, make sure all other devices on the same bus support scsi disconnect. A device that doesn't support disconnect can block the scsi bus for a long time, possibly ruining the burn. The same goes for the device you read from (typically the harddisk). For 2940-adapters have bios settings where you may check up on the disconnect settings. Most devices support disconnect, but some old cd-roms and possibly others doesn't. Helge Hafting

Set up your printer for a dj500, then edit the /etc/printcap file and dj500-filter file. Create a hp670c-filter file that uses the hpdj driver with gs instead of the dj500 driver. I have one of these printers too. If you don't want to mess with slink at this stage, you can just tell magicfilterconfig that the printer is a deskjet 550c. This seems to work OK for many purposes. It is also what the printer manual suggests if you are using old DOS programs that don't support newer printers (HP don't acknowledge the existence of Linux, of course). When you run magicfilterconfig it asks you for three names that it gives the printer and then presents you with a list of available devices to which you answer cdj550. That's it! I did this last night and was amazed at how easy and trouble-free it was. I wasted quite a bit if ink and paper sending different sorts of files to the printer and seeing them all print out correctly. Having lpr do what I expect is *so* comforting to an old SunOS user. The print button in things like xfig works too, now.

Debian KDE philosophy
As I read in some postings (slashdot.org and several other mailing lists) debian is planning not to distribute KDE (and qt) anymore. Could anyone tell me the reason why kde should not be distributed via the non-free-tree (ftp)... Netscape is available as well (and this is software what I call NONFREE in terms of GPL). What about a kde-installer.deb-package? What annoyes (sp?) me is that people say Linux needs a nice workspace - and for me, kde is one - and then say, well, kde is nice, but not free and therefore we dont want to distribute it. I dont want to start a flamewar here, maybe somebody could explain technical or legal-reasons to me. Thank you, Gernot P.S.: I dont know if this is the right place to ask - if not, maybe we could solve this via email and not via the debian-user-list.

What about a kde-installer.deb-package? The problem is not that it is not free, but that the licenses it uses conflict. The requirements of the GPL and the Qt-license cannot be applied consistently to KDE with the Qt library, if Debian distributes the binaries. For the KDE code, this could be resolved using a modified version of the GPL. A bigger problem is that the KDE code uses and includes other GPL-ed software, for which the respective copyright holders should give their permission to change the license. What it boils down to is that debian could be sued for distributing KDE binaries with the current licenses. What annoyes (sp?) me is that people say Linux needs a nice workspace - and for me, kde is one - and then say, well, kde is nice, but not free and therefore we dont want to distribute it. I dont want to start a flamewar here, maybe somebody could explain technical or legal-reasons to me. Debian is about creating a free (in the GPL sense) operating system. I fail to see how that can annoy anyone. If you don't care for this, it is OK. But don't flame debian for trying to do just that. There are plenty non-free solutions around to choose from.

Issues in switching to Debian
I currently run RH 5 on my P-Pro sys, and I want to switch to Debian. While I'm doing that, I figure I should also get a few cool programs I've seen, like KDE, Eterm, the GIMP (the install that comes in RH makes a very minimally useful program ... but I've seen great things with it, so there must be better versions), and Linux Explorer. There are issues I want to feel comfortable on b4 I bring my machine into work and try the ftp install (I've a 80lb. monitor, so I ain't gonna just take 'er in and try it): I have some components that are fairly unique (I've 2 sound cards, only one could be supported (SB64), a 12*12 Wacom drawing tablet I use as my only pointing device, and a Jaz). Should I get these drivers again, and backup the config files I had to use? ...and a fairly larger problem: I've discovered I have a virus on my machine. I figure I can get rid of the virus by loading up and disinfecting it in Windows95 (blech) -- but it may or may not be infecting my Linux installation (it -appears- to load as a child process to xdm on init)... b4 I do any install I want to know that I've disinfected my system, but don't know how to go about that in Linux. Any help is greatly appreciated. :) -- quiet rob --- Just keep telling yourself you are immortal --Albert Hofmann

2.0 X still won't work
After installing Debian 2.0 onto a clean system, X11 will not run. XF86Setup seems to go fine, my mouse appears to be configured properly, and all the software seems to be correctly installed. Of course, if something is missing, it wouldn't be obvious to me, either. Executing startx results in the getting-very-familiar error: _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 However, the error number changes to 111 when my $DISPLAY variable is changed from unix:0 to :0. Localhost:0 was also tried. This is a standalone system, though it does call the ISP using ppp. My localhost shows up in netstat -r output, and looks like my ISP's, which is also 2.0. The default manager is fvwm2, pretty much at random, though twm was substituted once with no change. Anybody can run X11, and most of my efforts have been run from my non-root userid. .xinitrc and .xsession are pretty much by the documentation, but they're not available to copy here. Presumably the problem is something simple, but since X11 is not something I've worked with much, it's not obvious to me. Suggestions, please?

It looks like SUSE will be offering a great price on Applix and the gimp was mentioned everywhere as the one to watch and kick photoshop from its throne.

Slashdot ( http://www.slashdot.org/ ) has an article about Oracle's plans to support a Linux port. It cites http://www.theregister.co.uk/980908-23.html which tells us that Oracle have signed up with RedHat, VA Research, Pacific HiTech, and SuSE. Slashdot (though not the cited article) refer to these as `all 4 major distributions'. Debian is conspicuous only by its absence.
