RE: ¿Cómo va lo de los runlevels en Debian?
El programa relacionado con los nivels esos es el init. Su fichero de configuración es /etc/initab. Los scripts se guardan en /etc/init.d y en /etc/rc* mediante softlinks indica lo que se debe ejecutar en cada run level (los nombres de los soft idican el orden y la accion que se debe ejecutar sobre el script).

Re: Smarlist
Me gustaría poder montar un list-mail con Smartlist, pero ocurre que sería bastante peculiar y necesitaría me dijerais si se puede o no. Yo tengo una conexión a Inet como la de la mayoría de los mortales; con IP dinámica y pagando pastón ganso a Timofónica. Pero, a pesar de todo, ¿puedo montar el Smartlist en mi ordenador de manera que, cuando recoja el correo, discrimine de alguna manera el From de quien provenga, y lo reenvíe a todos los demás subscritos? Claro que esto sería siempre que no hubiera mucha gente. Hola pues yo creo que sí. Por lo que yo sé, que soy más bien un usuario que un experto, el smartlist no es más que una aplicación que usa procmail. Tú puedes usar procmail tranquilamente cada vez que recoges los mails para discriminar el from o lo que quieras. En tu /etc/aliases tienes una linea que dice que, cuando llegue un mail para la lista, por ejemplo, milista lo procese con smartlist: milista: |exec /home/slist/.bin/flist milista Cuando llega un mail para esa lista, el chisme llamará a slist y ya está. Bueno, igual no es tan fácil, porque no sé si el /etc/aliases sirve cuando uno recoge el mail de esa forma. En ese caso siempre puedes lanzar el proceso manualmente o mediante procmail. Yo tengo una lista en un proveedor y los tios hacen funcionar smartlist mediante un cron para que los mails se reenvien cada hora. Asi que eso es algo que se puede hacer. Bueno, espero que esta charla tan poco técnica te sirva de algo. Ciao Carlos

Upgrade a 2.1 y smail
He actualizado mi sistema 2.0 hamm a 2.1 slink. La primera impresión es que cuantos cd's van a hacer falta ahora para meter toda la distribución??? En general no he tenido ningún problema para actualizar, bueno habia algunos paquetes que petaban pero a los dos dias habian sido corregidos. Mi unico quebradero de cabeza son las X's, ahora hay programas como xdm y xf86config que se han sacado de xbase y de otros paquetes. Con lo que tengo un lio de cojones, ya que el paquete xbase me ha petado y no me dejar desistalarlo y al instalarlo peta. Es el precio a pagar por probar betas!!! :) Bueno espero resolverlo aunque sea quitando y poniendo todo lo X de nuevo (como ultimo recurso). Pero mi problema está con el smail: antes cuando llegaba un correo al sistema el usuario lo recibia inmediatamente, ahora solo lo recibe cada 20 minutos (cuando el crontab ejecuta runq), guardando los mensajes en /var/spool/smail/input mientras tanto. Si el correo se envia internamente si llega en el mismo instante.

Na, lo instalo y configuro y al ejecutarlo me dice: HTTPD ERROR: Bad setup: Can't bind and listen on port.

RE: Unpartitioning a disk
Something like Partition Magic will allow you to shrink and/or expand partitions for Win95, both fat16 and fat32. I don't know of anything that will do it for free... -- I had a typical Linux installation in which I shrank the Win95 partition on an EIDE drive with fips and then partitioned the remainder with fdisk for Linux. I've just added a SCSI controller and hard drive and want to move my Linux onto the SCSI drive and let Win95 have the whole EIDE drive. I've installed Debian on the SCSI drive and have everything reconfigured and so forth but now don't know how to go about unpartitioning the EIDE drive. What I've done so far is to delete the Linux partitions on the EIDE drive and then use fips to try to change the partition table so that the 1st primary partition has the whole drive but it didn't work. Is there a way to do this without backing it all up and just starting from scratch? Thanks...

RE: Lilo/MBR boot problem: 1FA:
Debian doesn't install LILO as the MBR, but rather uses a program called MBR. It is MBR that is presenting this prompt. Look in /usr/doc/MBR for documentation. You don't give enough of a description of your installation to determine the problem. Here's a guess though. It sounds as if you also have NT installed and so that is probably on primary partition 1. Since no other primary partitions show up in the MBR prompt, you probably have Linux installed in a logical partition. The MBR boot loader can't load a boot sector from a logical partition. LILO can, but LILO can also load the Linux kernel directly. I'd recommend installing LILO as the MBR. Here's an example lilo.conf that will do the trick. It assumes NT is installed in sda1, Linux is in sda5, and the kernel name is /vmlinuz. ### compact boot=/dev/sda prompt other=/dev/sda1 label=winnt image=/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/sda5 read-only ### Tony On Friday, October 16, 1998 5:12 AM, Duncan Thomson [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm hoping to run a course including the installation towards the end of next week, but the machines I'll be using have a problem.

Re: phantom in diald queue
David S. Zelinsky wrote:
Using diald, with a dynamic IP address, I sometimes get an annoying phantom
in the packet queue. It's usually something like:
some.remote.address/80 = stale.local.address/1234
evidently coming from an aborted http transfer. The stale local address is
the IP address I had on some previous connection.
The diald packet queue will show this for a minute, then disconnect when its
time expires. The queue will remain empty for a minute or two, and then this
same entry will reappear, and cause the link to come back up. It will sit
idle for a minute, the link will go down, and the whole cycle keeps repeating.
I've tried:
* killing Netscape (which initiated the transfer originally)
* killing and restarting diald
Neither of these stop the phantom from continuing to reappear.
netstat will still show the LAST_ACK for a connection that netscape
had left open, but which was obsoleted.
I've tried running lsof to see what process is opening the connection -- but
lsof doesn't show it.
The only way I've been able to make it stop is by either waiting (it goes away
after 10 or 15 minutes); or by rebooting.
So, can anyone tell me what is causing this request to be continually
regenerated, and/or how to stop it?
I came to the conclusion that the kernel was the culprit (in addition to
netscape).
I changed /etc/diald/ip-down to reject anything on the obsolete connection.
I would have prefered a diald's filter, but couldn't figure out one.

Apache/mod_perl packages ... not configured properly?
Hello all, After much banging of head against the desk, I am compelled to seek help on the list. My problem is with Apache 1.3.3-3 and mod_perl 1.16-1. I compiled both of them from slink source packages. After ensuring that I had the proper libraries, it went flawlessly. I made sure the mod_perl line was not commented out in /etc/apache/httpd.conf . I restart Apache and check http://localhost/perl-status and it indicates everything is peachy keen with perl and apache. Yet, now I can no longer run even simple CGI scripts, much less Perl scripts. Yes, I'm 99% sure the correct permissions are enabled in /etc/apache/auth.conf . I get the 500 error: premature end of script headers returned to the user and logged on my side. Even with something simple as /cgi-bin/fortune, which can be executed just fine from the command line (as can all my other perl scripts) and works just fine with mod_perl commented out. It's only when mod_perl is activated can I not run scripts. Thus it seems mod_perl is to blame only I haven't the slightest idea what to do about it. Can anyone offer some insight? Or perhaps someone can send me a .deb package of an older mod_perl that you are sure works? Perhaps the problem is with this recent Apache?!? I am trying to get the slashdot code up and running on my site. Any help would be greatly appreciated! --Preston http://mithy.dyn.ml.org

plog permissions

After setting up everything, as an user I could pon and get connected. I could even type plog and see whether the connection was active or not.

Re: Seyon and ISDN, step 2.
Dear Martin, I have misspelled the argument to seyon in my previous message (I wrote tty0 instead of ttyI0). The defult baud rate in seyon is 9600. This is why (since, in any case nothing was working) I played around with its value. I'll try the initialization you suggest. Is there a list of all these initialization commands (especially for ISDN)? You suggest the FAQ (I assume is the isdn4linux FAQ): I'll look at it again, but Ido not remember having seen anything like that in it. You say: Serial devices are ttyS0 ... The error message I was reporting comes after calling seyon as seyon -modems /dev/ttyI0 (here I had the misspelling). ISDN has the fixed rate of 64kB: all right. Will the baud rate be set once the correct initialization string is given? I am now going to step 2.epsilon.

smail config broken?
The last time I upgraded smail, I found that it would no longer behave properly. It seems, however, as if the config scripts are set up deliberately to to specify this misbehavior. Specifically, when set up to use a smarthost mail server, it insisted on sending mail intended for root, such as cron reports, to that mail server as well. (My ISP admin is less interested my cron reports than I am.) I gave up, purged Smail, and installed Exim, and now all is well. Maybe that was the point. Nathan Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You don't have . in your path, so files are *not* considered executable just because they are in the *current* directory. This is a security feature. (Some user could make a nasty script called ls or similiar in his home directoy. If you try to look at his files with ls the nasty script is invoked instead.) Such protection isn't necessary on a one-user machine, but it is a good idea anyway so the home-users don't develop scripts that need . in the path. Ways of solving the problem: 1. Create ~/bin and add that to your path. Put all private executables in ~/bin You may want to set up you compiler to put freshly compiled files there too. This works well and has no security problems. If you don't want to put your script in ~/bin, put a symbolic link to it there instead. 2. Add . to path. (Not recommended, but the script will run) 3. Change all local commands in the script to ./command 4. Put links to your script and other local executables somewhere in path, or move everything into a path directory. Helge Hafting

Solved the execution mystery ...
(augh! cringe ... ) I think it's solved ... my issues with permissions, etc. Remembered that the scripts involved had been modified to reflect an older path in /usr/local, where I guess I can't tread as a normal user w.r.t. permissions needed. Fixed that. I'll know soon enough. Things seem to be moving along ... Sorry folks. Thanks a lot, though for the tips. It wouldn't be going now without that. Kenward

Will the baud rate be set RB once the correct initialization string is given? Actually, you don't have to set any baud rate. The AT mode just is an interface to the card. It doesn't know about AT commands. The driver translate them into proper system calls. So you will get a 64k connect regardless of what you have as serial rate. Actually there is no serial rate as you have an extension card, not a serial device. Ciao, Martin
apt-get still won't work with local cdrom
I thought I'd got apt-get to read my local cdrom but it seems I was wrong. It will update the packages but won't install anything. I have a Cheapbytes cdrom. The entry in my sources.list is as follows: deb file:/cdrom/debian main/binary-i386/ The Packages file is read correctly. However, when I try to install a file I get an error message: Unable to stat /cdrom/debian/debian/binary-i386/... In other words, an unwanted extra /debian/ gets into the path when apt-get tries to install a file. Can anyone suggest a way round this?

Re: Waiting for scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d
I've had a number of suggestions now, thanks to all who replied. However, I've still got some problems. First - for all those who suggested fetchmail, thanks but I am aware of fetchmail, and it just does not do what I need. The reasons are complex but conclusive... [If anybody really wants to discuss why I don't want to use fetchmail, contact me off the list and I'll explain more] The nice suggestion was diald, which I tried to set up last night. I had some problems with it, though. I set it up to run the existing /usr/bin/pon and /usr/bin/poff scripts to start up and shut down the PPP link (I did it this way because I have this configuration set up nicely, thanks to pppconfig, and I didn't want to start from scratch - if there's an equivalent of pppconfig for setting up diald, then I'm interested, but otherwise not. I see no reason to reinvent the wheel here...) First problem was that I can't do the necessary kill -HUP diald-pid to force the link up unless I am root. I don't really want a setuid root script to do this... Also, getting the PID of diald is (slightly) tricky in a script. Never mind, I can fix this up when everything else is working... The second problem is the big one - Demon dropped the line on me (for no reason I could see :-() while my slrnpull session was under way. Diald proceeded to restart the link, as expected. Great. BUT, when the link came up again, diald started a SECOND copy of slrnpull (as per the ip-up.d scripts). This is definitely *not* right :-( Worst of all, because the link was started by diald, I couldn't stop it using poff - the process isn't owned by me. I pulled the plug on the modem as a quick fix... I've come to the conclusion that the best way of doing what I'm after is to dial up manually, using pon. This is no problem. Diald doesn't really offer me anything extra here, as I basically don't want to dial up on demand... BUT, once I am online, I'd like to be able to get at the bit of diald's functionality which monitors the link, and hangs up (preferably using poff) when the link goes idle for a specified length of time. Can diald be persuaded to do this (hangup-only, no dialup function)? If not, how do I get at the ppp link stats to monitor packets going through? If I can monitor packets/sec across the ppp link, or maybe traffic over the modem, I could write my own monitor-and-timeout program. Thanks for the help so far, Paul.

The doc says this field is a list of /dev/ttyxx's: how does one specify a list in .Xresources? 3) If I start with -nodial and then run xisdnload, I see the number I have in the phonelist shown in the status line of xisdnload: why if seyon is not supposed to dial out? 4) Still with -nodial, if I choose manual dialing and type in the phone number, I get no dialtone (all right, much seems not to be working yet, so this is no wonder). 5) In Switzerland (Euro/DSS1) we get three phone numbers with the ISDN installation. I have assigned the first one to the first analogic line (by programming this on the phone) and left the other two free. Is the MSN any of those two (as I have chosen for my init string)? 6) The register settings above coincide with those in the isdn doc README file, whereby I set s14=3 for HDLC, except for S20 which, in the README, is 0.

I have a few questions: 1) ttyI0 is appropriate for ISDN connections: what does the error about linux serial info mean? 2) In the .Xresources, I have the line Seyon.modems: /dev/ttyI0 but starting seyon without the -modems option gives an error. Is the syntax above correct or should /dev/ttyI0 be quoted? The doc says this field is a list of /dev/ttyxx's: how does one specify a list in .Xresources? 3) If I start with -nodial and then run xisdnload, I see the number I have sin the phonelist shown in the status line of xisdnload: why if seyon is not supposed to dial out? 4) Still with -nodial, if I choose manual dialing and type in the phone number, I get no dialtone (all right, much seems not to be working yet, so this is no wonder). 5) In Switzerland (Euro/DSS1) we get three phone numbers with the ISDN installation. I have assigned the first one to the first analogic line (by programming this on the phone) and left the other two free. Is the MSN any of those two (as I have chosen for my init string)? 6) The register settings above coincide with those in the isdn doc README file, whereby I set s14=3 for HDLC, except for S20 which, in the README, is 0. Is this all right? Hoping g to make another tiny step forward (maybcalling my own machine, just to check the card), I thank you for the hints you gave me so far.

exim/cron causes process pollution? Can't fork - reboot
Greetings,
Since I replaced smail with exim (2.04-3) last Saturday or so I
have had to boot the machine two or three times because no new
processes can't have been started. vfork: resource temporarily
unavailable is what my shell (zsh) says. If, with echo `
file`, I examine the contents of /proc filesystem, I see _many_
cron processes. Too many, it seems. I don't think the process
count is hitting kernel's default limit of 512 processes (IIRC).
This booting is rather unpleasant as the machine is our router,
{DNS, www proxy, mysql, samba, nfs, canna, skk, apache, ppp,
print, my emacs :)} server so if anyone has had similar
experiences, I'd like to know ASAP. I'm not sure if switching to
exim is the actual cause -- I did update several packages about
day or two before switched to exim, but the first time I saw
this happen was pretty immediately after this switch.
FWIW, kernel is 2.1.117ac3/x86.
Good ideas about how to trace the cause of the problem are also
appreciated. Logs haven't revealed anything relevant.
Thanks in advance,
//Hannu

Installed System Commander. Installed NT WS into the same partition as Win98 (no NTFS). Installed Debian. System Commander makes things nearly foolproof. The only thing left to do was to suppress the NT loader message.

I've run the XF86Setup app and it completed sucessfully, telling me I had established a properly working server, but when I quit, saving the config to XF86Config, and run startx, I get the following: (a long list of messages which scroll up the screen, followed by...) *** none of the configured devices were detected *** Fatal server error: no screens found - X11 TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 giving up. xinit: connection refused (errno 111) unable to connect to xserver xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error I had the same problem. If I su to root and run xdm, my display starts flashing, rendering all subsequent operation useless. The only way out at this point is Ctl-Alt-Del. That one too! Then I noticed that just ABOVE the text like you describe above (*** none of the configured devices were detected ***) there was a message telling me I needed to use the X server for S3V, instead of the one for S3 that I had configured... After installing the S3V X server from the CD (which I can still only access by booting from floppy, but that's another story) and changing the appropriate config files to use it, suddenly I had X working. So it could be that you've used XF86Setup to configure a card/chipset that is SLIGHTLY different than what you actually have in your machine. Check it out. What I don't really understand is why XF86Setup was able to function just fine with the S3 setup, but the actual S3 X server package failed...

I only want to access the scanner through it so I'm looking for a sensible price/performance. thanks Kevin That is what the sane-umax backend docs state so I didn't even plug in the supplied card. I had replaced my Adaptec 2940 with a BusLogic BT-958. Heard the aic7xxx-5.1.2 driver is now stable so I pluged in the Adaptec to handle the scanner cdrom (slow device chain). You might want to consider 2 scsi chains because when the scanner is running it blocks the scsi bus it is attached to. Sane-0.74d works well. Make sure to compile the backend with Oliver Rausch's UMAX patch, allows gamma correction. For what it's worth I ordered a NCR810 to control the slow bus. The Adaptec still seems flaky.

Leon Breedt writes: 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? any scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ get run when the ppp link is established. so, in your case, i'd create in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ a script like so: #!/bin/sh if [-x /usr/sbin/runq]; then You forgot the spaces - [ is actually a program (check /usr/bin/[) so its name needs to be separate from the -x parameter. Same for the closing bracket which needs to be a separate parameter. -- Alex Shnitman [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN 188956 http://alexsh.home.ml.org -- PGP key here http://www.debian.org -- and the OS here
alien or rpm?
Hey. I was wondering, what would be a better idea, to install an RPM package by converting it first to .deb with alien, or just by using RPM directly since it's there? -- Alex Shnitman [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN 188956 http://alexsh.home.ml.org -- PGP key here http://www.debian.org -- and the OS here

If I can monitor packets/sec across the ppp link, or maybe traffic over the modem, I could write my own monitor-and-timeout program. No need - take a look at the idle parameter of pppd. From the manpage: idle n Specifies that pppd should disconnect if the link is idle for n seconds. The link is idle when no data packets (i.e. IP packets) are being sent or received. Note: it is not advisable to use this option with the persist option without the demand option. If the active-filter option is given, data packets which are rejected by the specified activ ity filter also count as the link being idle. -- Alex Shnitman [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN 188956 http://alexsh.home.ml.org -- PGP key here http://www.debian.org -- and the OS here
Re: dvi viewer in 2.0
I retrieved dvisvga and dvilx from slink. I tried to install them with dpkg. Each attempt fails with the message tetex-bin is required but not installed. What am I missing about this? chuck kaufman [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 20 Oct 1998, Paul Seelig wrote: On Tue, 20 Oct 1998 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have just upgraded to 2.0. Previously I could view .dvi files with xdvi. It is no longer present. Is there a .dvi viewer (preferably for x) that does not require a tetex installation? 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 dvisvga and dvilx from slink (frozen) work perfectly under debian 2.0, there's no need to recompile them :) Btw debian 2.0 has the binary package tmview which has only an svga viewer. I split it into dvisvga and dvilx since the latest tmview supports X nicely. -- Madarasz Gergely [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Diald proceeded to restart the link, as expected. Great. BUT, when the link came up again, diald started a SECOND copy of slrnpull (as per the ip-up.d scripts). This is definitely *not* right :-( This script should be changed to check for an existing running copy first.. Worst of all, because the link was started by diald, I couldn't stop it using poff - the process isn't owned by me. I pulled the plug on the modem as a quick fix... I've come to the conclusion that the best way of doing what I'm after is to dial up manually, using pon. This is no problem. Diald doesn't really offer me anything extra here, as I basically don't want to dial up on demand... BUT, once I am online, I'd like to be able to get at the bit of diald's functionality which monitors the link, and hangs up (preferably using poff) when the link goes idle for a specified length of time. Am I missing something? pppd has an 'idle' option that does just that. Can diald be persuaded to do this (hangup-only, no dialup function)? If not, how do I get at the ppp link stats to monitor packets going through? If I can monitor packets/sec across the ppp link, or maybe traffic over the modem, I could write my own monitor-and-timeout For the most part, pppd can now do most of what people use diald for. The only reason to have both is if you need some of the more advanced control of which kind of packets are considered in the 'idle' determination. Diald does this well. -- This .sig space available for lease. Please contact: Mitch Blevins | [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgpjZxKKwKGnE.pgp Description: PGP signature
