This will disable syslog and permit you to log in as root or use su to become root. Next either downgrade to the sysklogd in hamm or upgrade to sysklogd 1.3-30 in slink and restore the x permissions (chmod +x) to /etc/init.d/sysklogd.

A freeze is the responsibilty of the committee that oversees the entire distribution, not that of individual package maintainers. The fact that a freeze is announce does not mean inherant stability, all it means is that no new things will be added for that release of the distribution, the release could be buggy as all hell. The announce of freeze is analogous to the close acceptance of papers for a conference. I think everyone would agree that before a freeze is released, you should expect anything to happen if you are in the unstable tree. There is an implied level of security when it changes to frozen that all the basic system crashing bugs have been worked out that is why its status was changed. A freeze is not released, it is simply another step towards the release of a distribution, by the very nature of the unstable tree you should expect nothing to be perfect in there. And s I have already said freeze does not imply stability, it simplie states that the only submissions that will be accepted for inclusion into the tree are those that fix pre-existing bugs, it also by no means implies that _any_ bugs have been fixed. The statuse merely changes to frozen to tell people that release is approaching and that all the bugs are being fixed. Nikolai

I'm writing from a non-mantained win 95 I have in hand, because I can't do it under linux. pon stalls without dialing or returning the prompt, and at /var/log/messages there are a couple of strange -- MARK -- messages that I don't really know are related. One of the packages I upgraded is netstd. Even yesterday I noted that I could not do a telnet anymore, but I said: never mind for a while and let it go. It's 3.07-5. Another suspicious move was downgrading perl to the latest version at slink, as I was told to do by some developers while I was having problems with a include. I removed perl-suid also while doing all that. Later I installed the perl-suid again. Also, login as root, or suing to root doesn't work also (it stalls and does not give an error message or the prompt). If you can help me, please email me, as I'm desperate.

Re: Kernels from the 2.1 series
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], on 10/19/98 at 07:14 PM, Paul Crowley [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I'm thinking of moving over to the 2.1 series kernels, since it seems that they're pretty stable these days. Will this make life very much harder for me? I don't think so. I am using 2.1.125 with no particular problems. In particular: * I believe I'll need this new kmod thing rather than the kerneld that I'm used to. Do I already have this installed? Do I need a special package? No package needed, kmod is compiled into the kernel. You may want to set up a cron job that run rmmod -a now and then so unused modules get unloaded. kmod will load them when needed, but not unload. The script that start kerneld will stop doing that automatically, and say something like this isn't needed, kernel has kmod You can disable it if you don't want the message, or keep it in case you want to go back later. * I've heard talk of a change to the behaviour of chown that breaks dpkg. Do I need a special dpkg? A special kernel patch? dpkg seems to work fine with kernel 2.1.125, wether I run it from dselect/apt or from a command prompt. * Will ps, mount, etc keep going without change? They will work if they are recent enough. Take a look at http://www.linuxhq.com/pgmup21.html for recommended versions. Hamm is up to date on (almost) everything. * Anything I don't know about? A 2.1 kernel should work fine, but keep your old kernel around a while just to be safe. Set up your /etc/lilo.conf so you may choose kernel at boot time. 2.1.125 is supposed to be one of the more stable development kernels, but it is also the most recent one at the moment. Helge Hafting

can't access cdrom, no isofs after install
Hi all, I have a problem that's driving me a little nuts. I've installed debian2.0 (from cheap bytes), and I just can't get the cdrom to work properly. Here are the details: - When I try to mount, I get a message saying the kernal doesn't support iso9660. - I've reinstalled the base system at least 4 times, and every time the cdrom has been inaccessible after reboot. - When doing the base install, at the point where I can pick drivers and things, there is no iso9660fs or isofs listed with the other file systems. - I've done a bit of searching DejaNews, but none of the suggestions I've found have helped. - I know about how to do mounts and put things in /etc/fstab and all that. - The cdrom works fine if I boot from the boot floppy that I created during the installation procedure, but not if I boot from the hard disk. - I've looked int /etc/conf.modules, there is a line saying alias iso9660 isofs. - Doing a insmod isofs fails (can't find the module). - Looking in /lib/modules/2.0.x/fs, I see no isofs.

smail problems (dial-up)
Hi, I'm just getting smail set up, and I'm not sure what I need to do for the last stage (getting my dial-up setup working). I have local mail setup fine, including redirecting postmaster mail to my normal account. My ISP (Demon Internet in the UK) passes mail to me using SMTP when I am logged on, so receiving mail seems to be no problem (I just do pon and wait, Demon passes the mail to me fairly promptly). For outgoing mail, I have Demon's mailer set up as my smarthost. If I send a message while offline, the smail log includes a line saying there is an error, can't find post.demon.co.uk, deferring mail (OK, that's right although as it is the expected situation, I'd rather it wasn't an error...). However, when I start up the PPP connection with pon, nothing seems to trigger smail to send deferred mail. I found a command runq which seems to push stuff through. Is that what it's for? If so, how do I get this to happen automatically when I start the PPP link? Did I miss something in the configuration setup to get this added automatically? All of the rest of the setup was put in as I expected (I told the config that I was a dial-up Internet site, from what I recall...) As usual, if I do have to do manual tweaks, what do I need to do if I later want to use dpkg/apt to upgrade or change things (for example, god forbid, I need to switch to sendmail...) Thanks for the help, Paul.

Re: Can I turn off portmap?
According to Peter Iannarelli: I am sure you are right. I'm running xinetd for the added security. When I read my /etc/init.d/xinetd -- stop) It shuts down the portmapper. start) starts up the portmapper. It is true that it does not have to be run however, and correct me if I'm wrong it controls the initiation of listening daemons ( ie, in.telnetd ), as opposed to running in.telnetd as a deamon. Nonono, the portmapper and inetd (or xinetd for that matter) are *two very different things* The portmapper is /usr/sbin/portmap. It's for dispatching Remote Procedure Calls (well actually just resolving RPC program number to TCP/UDP port). Such as NFS and NIS. Inetd is /usr/sbin/inetd (or xinetd). It's for starting daemons like telnetd and rlogind Mike. -- Did I ever tell you about the illusion of free will? -- Sheriff Lucas Buck, ultimate BOFH.

Exim for local mail?
This is a really basic question on setting up exim for local mail, which is eluding me. I have a two machine home network, both running Hamm. The machines are named/addressed as follows: newdebian.pfeifer.home (192.168.1.1) olddebian.pfeifer.home (192.168.1.2) pfeifer.home(192.168.1.0) All other network communication between the machines works great - telnet, ftp, nfs, etc, but I can't get exim to deliver mail from one to the other. It works fine from one user to another on the same machine. Here is what I did to set it up: 1) Ran eximconfig and set it up for local mail delivery only (choice 4) and accepted all defaults for the questions. 2) Edited /etc/exim.conf and made one change, which was to add the other host to the local_domains field on each machine, so that it is considered a local machine. I've also tried it *without* editing this file with the same results as shown below. 3) I've verifed that exim is started by inetd with the /usr/sbin/exim exim -bs command line in /etc/inetd.conf Here's two examples of what happens: - 1) There is one user of the same name on both machines. If I send mail from one to the other, the mail comes back to the user on the sending machine, but never gets delivered to the other. For example, if I send mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mail goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the header: From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 20 11:03:14 1998 Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivery-date: Tue, 20 Oct 1998 11:03:14 -0400 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: hello From: Thomas Pfeifer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 20 Oct 1998 11:03:13 -0400 --- 2) If I send mail to a valid user of a different name on the other machine, the mail again does not get delivered, but the sender gets an error mail message that looks like this: From MAILER-DAEMON Tue Oct 20 11:21:10 1998 Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivery-date: Tue, 20 Oct 1998 11:21:10 -0400 X-Failed-Recipients: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Mail Delivery System [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender Date: Tue, 20 Oct 1998 11:21:10 -0400 This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to all of its recipients. The following address(es) failed: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: unknown local-part karen in domain olddebian.pfeifer.home --- Again, mail between users on the same machine works fine. Obviously I'm mising *something* in setting this up, but I see nothing in the config file that looks like it applies. Maybe I just misunderstand how to enter the domain names in /etc/exim.conf. Here's the applicable lines on the newdebian machine - I only changed the 3rd line: qualify_domain = newdebian.pfeifer.home # qualify_recipient = local_domains = olddebian.pfeifer.home local_domains_include_host = true local_domains_include_host_literals = true I'm reading the exim docs, but if anyone sees what my problem is, or things I should look at, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks, Tom
Re: two things
Hi! Shane Wegner ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): 2) When I installed slackware, I did it over a null-modem serial connection to an ms-dos machine running a program called telix. I do this because I use screen reading software to read the screen and as of yet, there is nothing available under Linux. Therefore, in slackware I log in as root and go. /sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100 and do the whole setup remotely by running setup from the remote machine. Is this possible to do while using Debian? I understand that it goes into the setup program as soon as you boot the bootdisk or cdrom so you'd have to break out somehow and spawn the agetty and run it from the remote machine. Anyone have any hints on how to do it? Hmm, I have thought about this, too. I run several boxes with a serial console, but actually I never tested to install one over serial line. It's not as easy as you describe with slackware - there is no getty on the rescue disc. dinstall (the setup program on the rescue disc) doesn't need one. Maybe It's still doable with a modified rescue disk: patch the kernel with sercons support (to see boot messages on your serial line and to hopefully fake your real tty) or use a recent 2.1 kernel make /dev/tty0 what usually becomes /dev/console for sercons kernel (dinstall seems to open /dev/tty0 instead of /dev/console). Alternatively one may patch dinstall to open the required /dev/console. replace syslinux with lilo (to get your bootprompt on serial line). Alternatively you may hardcode the boot parameters in syslinux.cfg. hope dinstall doesn't fail eg. when loading the keymap... I'll try this if you're interested.

xterm: select and paste query
Hello: I recently installed Debian 2.0 from the Cheapbytes CD (July 21 record date). After the usual 'monkeying around', I got X up and running, using my favourite windowing system - OpenLook (virtual) Window Manager (olvwm). I observed two differences from what I expected: firstly, 'xterm' cut and paste no longer worked (selection seems functional, but I can't paste); and secondly, the 6 xterm windows that I 'opened' via the '.openwin-init' file all appeared in the same (lower left hand) virtual window - even though the geometry specifications indicated that they should be distributed one per virtual window. With respect to the individual xterm windows, 'mouse button' - 'control key' sequences didn't bring up the menu I expected. For example, there was no reverse video option, nor a Tek window option (something I never used, but was always there). If you have any idea what I may be doing wrong (I expect that it is some configuration file, but which), please advise. Thanks, Dean

Yes, there is tmview-98.06, which is split into the two .deb packages
dvisvga for the console and dvilx for X11. Both work just great and
especially dvisvga is a great means for having true WYSIWYG right at the
console. These packages are not present in Debian-2.0 but you can easily
fetch the sources from frozen and compile it yourself. I've already done
so for Debian-2.0 and you can get the binaries from our unofficial site at
ftp://ietpd1.sowi.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian/unofficial/{source,binary}; as
dvilx_98.06-1_i386.deb, dvisvga_98.06-1_i386.deb and tmview_98.06* for the
sources. An updated lyx-1.0.0pre2 package is available too.

LS120 problems
A few weeks ago, I got a new office computer (a P II) with an ATAPI LS120 installed. The kernel (2.0.34, Debian 2.0) had no trouble detecting it as an ide-floppy, and I was able to mount it as type vfat with no problems. Since a single LS120 is not much use, I next had one installed in my home machine (a Pentium Pro, about 2 years old). With the same kernel version, which has IDE floppy support compiled in, I cannot get it to work at all! On bootup, the kernel reports that it is an ATAPI unknown device, type 31, and, when I try to mount it, I am told that /dev/hdd is not a block device. Has anyone else encountered and solved a similar problem? I suspect that either the drive itself or the BIOS is not correctly reporting this device to the kernel. Is it the responsibility of the BIOS to do this? If so, would a newer BIOS solve the problem? Presumably I could get it to work if I could tell the kernel that /dev/hdd is an LS120, perhaps using an append statement in lilo.conf. I looked at the documentation for the IDE drivers in the 2.0.34 kernel and could not find such a thing. You can tell the kernel that a device is a cdrom, but not that it is an ide-floppy. Before anyone asks, I don't have any version of Windows on either machine, so I have no idea whether the LS120 at home works with another operating system. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
