Re: ISDN Adapter or Eth Router or Serial
I believe the Netgear rt328 is an OEM product from Zyxel http://www.zyxel.com. I've used Combinet (now Cisco) and Ascend. The Zyxel box is by far the easiest to configure. It's especially good for connecting to multiple sites and masquerading as different IP addresses on different connections. Check out the P100 for low end stuff or P128 if you need management (SNMP) or IPX. My only warning on the zyxel routers is test the pots ports when you get the unit. Make sure the volume is ok and there is no buzzing. I had several zyxel products with pots problems, but the data services have been solid.

Upgrade to X 3.3.2.3a-6 broke netscape
Netscape 4.5pr2 worked fine prior to new X. Now fails to run and calls the help messenger. Command line messages are: Locale `C' not supported. Perhaps your $XNLSPATH is not set properly Warning: Locale not supported by Xlib Locale set to C Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using defaults. Then it brings up the fullcircle messenger. Tried deleting netscape and reinstalled with the ns-install script but no help. Finally installed the xbase-clients and my xsetroot worked again.

Script help...............
Hi debian world...
Im not know very much about scripts so i need some help with one..
Here my situation:
A script will be executed when i call to my linux box... here it is:
/etc/init.d/xringd stop
/root/IP_MAIL
pon incomingcall
/etc/init.d/xringd start|
|
|
This has the -detach option so i can kill it
and the script will continue...
Now, i have problems with /root/IP_MAIL, becouse it try to send me my ip number
before i can get one... this is how IP_mail looks:
1)DAY=$(date +%A)
2)NUMBER=$(date +%d)
3)TIME=$(date +%r)
4)MONTH=$(date +%m)
5)IP=$(/sbin/ifconfig | grep inet | awk '{print $2}' |awk -F: '{print $2}' |

6)echo Today, $DAY $NUMBER/$MONTH [$TIME] you have got an ip address: $IP

7)mail -s Identidad: $IP [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/iptemporal.tmp

Hmmm, What you need, is a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ to do this, but only
when 'pon incomingcall' is executed.. change your first script thus:
/etc/init.d/xringd stop
touch /tmp/make_IP_available
pon incomingcall
rm /tmp/make_IP_available
/etc/init.d/xringd start
place your second script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and start it with:
#!/bin/sh
test -f /tmp/make_IP_available || exit 0
...
so if the first script was called, it creates a temporary 0 byte file,
that the second script checks for. If it exists, it mails you with the IP
Address.

More than one question....
Yep, I still have more questions. Ugh. But, things are shapping up at least. 1. Netscape Messenger takes a /very/ long time to load. Navigator loads pretty quickly but then it takes Messenger a good 6 minutes to load. I had version 4.5 so I figured it might be a bug so I downgraded to 4.07 but to no avail. Everything works fine (i'm using messenger right now), it just takes a long time to load. Any ideas what this could be? I'm thinking I might not have enough RAM...which leads to my second problem: 2. I have 32 megs of RAM, but when I call free, it says that I have 30. Where'd my last two go??? Actually, why don't I just show you: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 30264 29080 1184 17572172 12296 -/+ buffers/cache: 16612 13652 Swap:64256 12952 51304 Also, should the system be taking up so much? Right after I reboot, it's already taking up almost all of the real RAM. I'm going to upgrade anyway, but I was wondering if this was normal? 3. Where are the startup configuration files? As in where does linux store the list of daemons that it has to start up, and can I add my own without too much danger? 4. Finally, how do I change the default resolution X windows starts up at? Right now it starts up at 1280x1024. It could be much worse, I guess, I could be starting at a resolution of 2 or something. But 1280x1024 on a 15 inch monitor is sorta high. I can switch it once I start up but then I have to reconfigure my monitor and the virtual desktop is still at 1280x1024. That's all...for now...I'm sure there will be more. TIA. --Vince
exim filters and/or procmail
Aarg. I upgraded my system yesterday and smail stopped delivering my messages. I noticed that fetchmail was downloading, but then I didn't have any new messages in my folders. I couldn't find anything useful in the log files and I couldn't find the messages anywhere, so it looks like they went to /dev/null. I'm now switching to exim. Does anyone have an example of exim filters which split list mail into different files? Does anyone know how to get procmail working with exim?

Re: Security problem
The bug is real, and Debian has a fix. See security lists in Debian. If you are running Debian 2.0 you might have a security hole. There was also security problems with bind. The fixes appear in the current distributions (2.0.2 I think) not in package-updates. Why the bloody hell not? I think that it was moved from package-updates to the main distribution so that if you downloaded it or purchased a new cdrom, it would have the updates in it. Seems reasonable. Correct. This is also explained in the README in the proposed-updates directory. The idea is that you run dselect (or apt-get) on stable every couple of weeks to stay up-to-date with fixes for security holes and other major bugs. Sorry, this makes me angry. Debian does a whole lot on finding these holes, then spreading the information they are there, but then every one has to read at least debian-user or visit the security page on the web to find out. [...] Well, you can also subscribe to debian-security-announce@lists.debian.org Information about every security fix released by Debian is posted there. (To subscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the single word 'subscribe' in the subject of the message. And if you're wondering, an announcement about the security-announce list was sent to debian-announce on its creation.) Thanks, Christian Debian Security pgpj8cTagb3C8.pgp Description: PGP signature
RE: Script help...............
Dunno why you are doing it this way so let me ask. Why are you not using the
scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}?? The IP address of the connection is passed
to the scripts on login. So you are guaranteed to get a good IP. If this is
not useful for some reason contact me and I can get your script working.

Right, I'm going out on a limb here and I really don't know what I'm talking about, so keep that in mind. But: I believe Linux caches a lot of things into memory (including disk read/writes). This improves system performance. Once you load other programs up, Linux relinquishes it's cache to make room for them. Incidentally, this cacheing behaviour is why you should always umount a removeable disk before removing it (unless you use mtools) because the system may still have a lot of stuff you've written to it in memory cache and hasn't got around to putting it on the physical medium yet. I have 32 Mb memory and 32 of swap, and I've just had my first out of memory error. I was running Netscape, Xemacs, and The Gimp (all of which had multiple windows open) and I tried to compile a Java program. Buy more by all means, but 32 Mb is more than adequate to run linux plus tons of programs. Andrew Tarr If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate

ppp problem
I sent this yesterday (I think: windoze problems!), hasn't been copied back to me by majordomo so I assume it didn't get through. I have moved my debian machine home from old workplace and am trying to configure it for ppp access to my university ppp entry point. I have used pppconfig to enter the basic parameters that work for Win95 ppp access and I can see from plog (after pon) that I am getting a connection to the system and it notes the fixed address that it serves to me (which I have put in my /etc/hosts) and the host address that it uses. plog then shows a complaint: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP that was linked with a comment about not replacing existing default route for eth0 so I edited out all the eth0 lines in /etc/init.d/network leaving only the loopback lines. I rebooted and that removed the comment about not replacing the existing default route but ... I can only ping the host ip address ... every other address fails, numeric addresses just show no action at all and full names don't get resolved. I have put the numeric addresses of the DNS servers that the ppp entries for win95 use in my /etc/resolv.conf file after: domain sghms.ac.uk which was my old domain (I know my old name and ip address at the office in that old domain are unused). I think I'm failing to tell the ppp0 route or pppd (the same thing essentially?) the right default gateway and/or netmask to use. Nothing in plog, netstat, route or ifconfig that I can see are helping me, all suggest the ppp communication is working fine, the route lines look odd to me with the first line giving the host address then 0.0.0.0 with netmask 255.255.255.255 and then 0.0.0.0 and the host address with netmask 0.0.0.0 (as I remember it) but I'm out of my depth here despite looking at every man, --help, -h, doc, example and even running linux!

Procmail and smail
Hi, I have smail and procmail installed, and I want to get them working together. I am currently using a .forward file to push my mail through procmail, but what I'd like is if smail used procmail directly as the local delivery agent (when I used the SuSE distribution, with sendmail and procmail, it did this). This would mean that any user with a .procmailrc would automatically get mail processed via procmail, without needing the extra .forward file. I've looked in the smail and procmail documentation, but I can't see what I need to add to set this up. I guess I need some form of transports file, but I can't find an example I can work from. Can anybody help? Thanks, Paul

This means that they can only accept files on the local hard disks. If you use URLs never the less, KFM will download the files first and start the application afterwards. If the files are modified by the app, the user is prompted wether he wants them to be uploaded. You may enter %u instead of %f. This will cause KFM to pass URLs to the application. External files are not preloaded. Some KDE apps support this cool feature. There are addtional tags you may use. Here is a short list * %k The path and name of the config file itself. This is useful if the app you want to start should read/modify the config file that started it. This way you can for example implement simple printer representations. The same file that repesents the printer on your desktop stores your prefered printer settings. Use %k to pass the config file to the printer GUI. * %n The filename of the documents without path. * %d The path of the documents without file name. The %d and the %n tag together are the same as %f. * %c Name of the application. This is the name of the config file itself without path and extension. This way you can set the title of the application. - Anyway, %i and %m are _not defined_ in the readme. kde seems to pass %i and directly to the program, so it tries to open the file you klicked on, the inexistent %i and %m (maybe even creating them on the hd... how many such files have you found lying around?) I solved the problem by taking these %i and %m out of the applnk files for the programs i need most. But I am very unhappy with this solution.

Debian normally uses (if you installed the menu package) information provided in /usr/lib/menu, and normal .debs install their information there. After unpacking a new .deb, normally a program named 'update-menus' is called. So, the perfect way to solve your problem is to create a new file called /usr/lib/menu/rpms the same way like the others including the calls to your locally installed rpms, and then call update-menus as root.

Before I wiped redhat to install debian several weeks ago, I backed up my /etc, /root, and /home directories to .tar.gz's on another drive. Unfortunately I was overconfident that my syntax was correct, and that there were no other problems that could occur -- I think I verified that I could re-open the /etc /root archives, but the /home one was bigger than I felt like checking. Oops. When I reinstalled tried to restore it, I found out that gzip can't seek to the end of the file (dies around 2gb?). What do I have to do to restore my data ? I know it's doable, I just don't know if I'm gonna have to re-write half the kernel, gzip, and tar, which I won't be doing real soon. I have also considered installing windows again on another drive, and seeing if winzip can handle it, because I remember it could handle .tar.gz's, but I'd prefer not to Any option that will get me even pieces of my data will be helpful -- the normal syntax to extract single files doesn't even work. Is there any chance I could tear it in half (how?) and be able to extract one of the halves ?

GUS PnP with isapnp alsa-modules
Hi Debian Users! I'm trying to get my GUS PnP working under Debian 2.0 using Kernel 2.0.35, isapnp and the corresponding alsa-modules. My first question: Is the alsa-Driver OSS-compatible? I initialized my GUS using isapnp as I've done under my prev. distro(it worked there), but the alsa modules don't seem to get loaded correctly (some error which i can't remember (i'm here at my box at work...) when i insmod' them) In what order should the modules loaded to work properly? how can i test them (if not oss-compatible)?

Re: kppp
I installed kde on my Debian 2.0 and would like to use kppp to connect to Internet. After installation and configuration I tried to connect to my ptovider, but script expects OK after CONNECT message, but my provider doesn't send any OK ater connection (in ppp it would be CONNECT ). Sounds like your chat script is garbled. Both 'OK' and 'CONNECT' are messages that chat expects from the modem. Here is a typical chatscript for use with PAP authentication: ABORTBUSY ABORTNO CARRIER ABORTVOICE ABORTNO DIALTONE ATZ OK ATDT5551212 CONNECT \d\c This says expect nothing, send ATZ to the modem, expect OK from the modem, send the dialing command, expect CONNECT, wait a second so that the ISP can get his act together and start ppp, and exit so that pppd can do the authentication.

On the other hand, I don't know wether the library dependencies are ok or not. I have also tried to copy the xdm binary file from the hamm-system to the bo-hamm-system and the problem remains, and xdm continues depending on the same libraries (libc5-compat...). I don't understand this point (and many others... :-( ). What must I try, look, investigate, test, ...? The /etc/X11/xdm directory and the /etc/init.d/xdm file are identical in both systems. On the other hand, I can run my X server with startx. I hope your suggestions. Thanks in advance. * Javier Arregui System Engineer Innovation Technology (Systems) Siemens Elasa S.A.
