Tk 8.0 y la eñe
Hola, He comprobado que el comportamiento de Tcl 8.0 y Tk 8.0 (de debian hamm) es diferente en el tratamiento de la ñ y las letras acentuadas. Por ejemplo, Tcl cambia perfectamente entre mayúsculas y minúsculas, pero Tk no lo hace; tampoco admite títulos de ventanas con esos caracteres. He intentado recompilar Tk, pero sigue igual. ¿Es un problema propio de Tk, o tiene que ver con la configuración de X-Window? ¿Sabe alguien cómo se puede solucionar? Gracias, -- Francisco Callejo Giménez Bornos, Cádiz, España [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://usuarios.bitmailer.com/fcallejo

Creo que hay un FAQ sobre eso... del Printing-HOWTO: HP Laserjet printers with Jet Direct interfaces generally support two built in lpd queues - raw which accepts PCL (and possibly Postscript) and text which accepts straight ascii (and copes automatically with the staircase effect). If you've got a JetDirect Plus3 three-port box, the queues are named raw1, text2, and so forth. Some printers (and printer networking black boxes) support only a cheesy little non-protocol involving plain TCP connections. Notable in this category are early-model JetDirect (including some JetDirectEx) cards. Basically, to print to the printer, you must open a TCP connection to the printer on a specified port (typically 9100, or 9100, 9101 and 9102 for three-port boxes) and stuff your print job into it. This can be implemented, among other ways, in Perl: en el primer caso, tienes el nombre de la cola de impresion mal, no es trusa sino raw a menos, claro, que la impresora este configurada de otra forma (que es posible). En el segundo, tienes que abrir una conexion al puerto correcto, con rm=maquina%puerto *creo*, mira printcap(5) Marcelo Quizas no me he explicado bien. La impresora imprime perfectamente. Cuando no imprime es cuando le mando ficheros postscript, evidentemente por que mi HP LJ 5N no tiene postscript. Por eso estoy sospechando que lo que no actua es el filtro /etc/magicfilter/ljet4-filter.

Re: INSTALACION DE DEBIAN

Yo no uso dselect sino que lo instalo todo a mano, o sea que si necesito las X primero instalaré el xbase (y todas sus librerias relacionadas cuando me las pide) y demás... Con esto consigo tener instalado solo lo que quiero i asi limpiar mi disco de paquetes que no voy a utilizar nunca o casi nunca. Pd: COMO SE LA VERSION DE MI DISTRIBUCION ???

[...] Cuando pregunte como instalar los paquetes manualmente me referia a instarlo y configuralo al mismo tiempo ( mostrandome informacion detallada de que esta haciendo ) se que dpkg -i nombre.deb se instala pero como realizo el resto ??? Veamos cuando haces un dpkg -i paquete.deb instalas ese paquete y si ese paquete necesita algún tipo de configuración pues te pide para configurarlo. Con esto conseguirás que todo paquete que instales lo configures al acto. Si en algún momento no necesitas configurar un paquete ya que tienes que tocar algo antes lo puedes volver a configurar con dpkg --configure nombre_paquete Pues venga... que vaya bien. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= __ |o | ___ |o|Raul Perez Justicia | | ___ | | | | ___ | | | | ___ | | | |_| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] | ___ | | | || | HD | | O |. _ Vocal i Webmaster de AEIGI |_ ___|___||`--(_= http://hades.udg.es http://hades.udg.es/~aeigi -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Problemas con el host
Hace poco instale la version 2.0 de la distribucion Debian. Despues de configurarla, empece a probar, y me he encontrado con un problema. Resulta que al escribir en un terminal de xwindow xterm -display debian:0.0 no muestra ningun terminal nuevo el la pantalla. En cambio, si escribo xterm -display :0.0 si que funciona. Tambien me ocurre que no puedo arrancar un segundo servidor grafico con : startx -- :1.0. Al trabajar con la libreria MPICH, solo puedo correr un proceso con mpirun. Si trabajo con mas procesos, se queda colgado. Creo que es porque al hacer rsh localhost este no responde. Creo que todos estos problemas se deben a que falla la conexion con mi localhost. He mirado el fichero /etc/hosts y tiene la siguiente entrada: 127.0.0.1localhost debian Por lo que creo que esta correctamente configurado. He instalado las librerias de sockets y no consigo encontrar el problema. Agradeceria mucho que alguien pudiera ayudarme.

Linuxero entre infieles.
Saludos. Soy un linuxero que estudia en la Escuela Universitaria de Informatica de la Politecnica de Madrid (un nombre muy largo para tan poca cosa :-)). Como se lee en el subject, estoy entre infieles. Si, a la gente le atrae LiNUX, como una alternativa interesante, e incluso hay una asignatura en la que el primer ejercicio es instalar un sistema LiNUX. Sin embargo, no he encontrado la cobertura tal vez deseada (soy de primer curso) para poder desarrollar alguna actividad (colaborando con LuCAS, por ejemplo, o con INSFLUG). Por eso, envio esto en busca de alguien que este en la Escuela, o simplemente, por cercania a la misma, este interesado en montar algo.

Adobe Capture o similar ?
Hola a todos: Pregunta de trivial... hay algun paquete en Debian/Linux que equivalga a Adobe capture en funcionalidad ? El proposito es el poder scanear una cantidad elevada de documentos y guardarlos como pdf ( o ps ), a fin de tener unos ficheros pdf ( o ps ) con las imagenes de los documentos y su OCR correspondiente con indices de busqueda. Es posible ? Hay algo que no me involucre estar con tres programas distintos ( uno de scanner, uno grafico y un OCR ) ? Un saludo, Juan Carlos Valero --
Problemas instalando Wmaker 0.20 de Slink
He probado de instalar el WMaker 0.20 que hay en Slink (¿esta en HAMM?) instalando primero todas las dependencias correctamente. Pero al instalar el paquete wmaker_0.20.2-1.deb me informa de una viloacion de segmento ( Quien sera ese Segmento ? :-) ). Lo he probado con el paquete que he encontrado en el ftp Rediris y en el de la Universidad de Sevilla. ¿Esta este paquete corrupto?¿Me falta alguna cosa? He vuelto a instalar el WMaker de Hamm pero he perdido los iconos, si alguien sabe donde han ido que me lo diga sino ya los buscare. PD : el paquete xbase de slink tambien tiene 'relaciones' con ese tal Segmento. No se si es normal porque bajando otros paquetes me ha dado el mensaje Nombre de paquete + version.deb is not a plain file ¿Que significa, aparte de que esta corrupto?. Muchisimas gracias.

Hay cientos de actividades en marcha dentro de Debian, y lamentablemente mis días tienen 24 horas. (Supongo que los de Santiago también). A veces no encuentro tiempo para responder a algunos mensajes, lo que no significa que me resbalen. En Debian hay gente dedicada a mantener paquetes, gente dedicada a mejorar las herramientas (picando c?digo), gente dedicada a escribir documentaci?n, gente dedicada a mejorar las p?ginas web, gente dedicada a escribir y distribuir comunicados de prensa, gente dedicada a hablar con empresas para adaptar sus productos a nuestra distribuci?n, gente dedicada a probar los paquetes (amigabilidad, instalaci?n, actualizaci?n, uso, ...) ?me podr?as decir qu? otras areas nos estamos dejando de lado?. Y donativos en met?lico que tambien los hay, pero yo no lo he puesto en duda la existencia de toda clase de colaboraciones. Algunas de las areas que mencionas son t?cnicas. (Documentaci?n traduccion, mantenimiento de webs). Esas otras tareas que mencionas de tipo auto promoci?n o marketin no sab?a que existieran. Supon?a que alguien hac?a algo de eso porque es inevitable pero no sab?a que existieran grupos de trabajo o listas dedicadas a estas cosas. Me puedes decir alguna lista donde se discuta de estos temas ? debian-testing, debian-www, debian-publicity, debian-doc, ... Todas las listas de Debian están enumeradas en la página web, junto con información de para qué sirve cada lista. Si se desea mejorar Debian, no hace falta crear cauces para canalizar el esfuerzo de los colaboradores no t?cnicos. De eso ya tenemos. Hacen falta m?s colaboradores, t?cnicos y no t?cnicos. Dices que hace falta ayuda y que no hacen falta cauces. Yo creo que multiplicando por diez la ayuda actual de Debian que es much?sima seguir?a habiendo problemas. Yo considero que la ayuda est? mal repartida. No digo que sea facil repartirla pero decir que no hacen falta ning?n cauce m?s, es poner a Debian en la cumbre de la perfecci?n. repartir la ayuda es un concepto difícil de aplicar en el caso de un esfuerzo voluntario. La gente colabora en lo que le apetece, y le dedica el tiempo que le apetece. Eso no se puede cambiar, por mucha campaña de concienciación que se haga. No podemos obligar a nadie a trabajar en el sistema de instalación si lo que a él le gusta son las aplicaciones para radioaficionados (por ejemplo). Repito que los cauces existen (listas de correo, páginas web, grupos de trabajo, servidores FTP, CVS y demás herramientas de trabajo en grupo, reglamentos, ...). ¿Qué otra cosa necesitamos?. Más gente. A tí te preocupa la facilidad de instalación. A mi también. Curiosamente hay decenas de personas, particulares y empresas, aquí mismo, en España, que han desarrollado o están desarrollando métodos alternativos para facilitar la instalación de Debian (o que se montan su propia distribución para solucionar la dificultad de instalación de Debian). Algunos de ellos han resuelto problemas que nosotros tenemos anotados en nuestra lista Por-hacer. ¿Por qué no colaboran directamente con Debian, aportando sus soluciones?. ¿También nos faltan cauces para canalizar la aportación de colaboradores técnicos? No duso que cada vez Debian ser? m?s y m?s amistoso . La duda es si iremos siempre por detras en esto con respecto a otras distribuciones. Si se considera que este objetivo no es importante yo lo considero un error. Se considera que es importante. Por eso hay gente trabajando en el apt y en los boot-floppies. Pero estoy seguro de que Red Hat o SuSe dedican muchas más personas * horas-de-trabajo que Debian a la instalación del sistema. (Y muchas menos al resto).

Agárrate los machos por que la cosa es larga. Esta tarde en un alarde de virtuosismo me he cepillado la configuración de las X que también me iban hasta ahora. Me baje todo lo necesario para que funcionara el Window Maker 0.20.2-1 que hay en unstable con todos los paquetes wm* y al darme un problema de dependenciascon librerías con wmss no se me ocurre otra cosa que bajarme xlib6g_3.3.2.3a-7.deb (unstable) y machacar el ya existente en mi sistema (el que viene con hamm, yo tengo hamm instalada). Pues bien, los programas que corren sobre X, no todos, pero si la mayoría, me dan mensajes de error y algunos ni arrancan o se cuelgan.

(This is a bug in the X11R5 libraries against which this program) was linked. Since neither X11R4 nor X11R6 come with these config files, we have included them with the Netscape distribution. The normal polace for these files is /usr/X386/lib/X11/nls/. If you can't create that directory, you should set the $XNLSPATH enviroment variable to point at the place where you installed the files. Netscape no llega a arrancar $ xterm Warning: locate not supported by Xlib, locate set to C Warning: X locate modifiers not supported, using default Failed to open input method xterm si arranca $ gimp locate not supported by Xlib, locate set to C can not set locate modifiers Gimp si arranca $ xadmin Use of uninitialized value at /usr/lib/xadmin/bin/xedit-users line 6355 Use of uninitialized value at /usr/lib/xadmin/bin/xedit-users line 6355 Use of uninitialized value at /usr/lib/xadmin/bin/xedit-users line 6355 Use of uninitialized value at /usr/lib/xadmin/bin/xedit-users line 6355 . . . xadmin arranca pero al intentar eliminar un usuario se cuelga mostrando en el error repetidas veces Aparte de mi cagada, ¿que pasa?, ¿puedo arreglarlo de alguna manera?.

Instalación de KDE y error
Hola. He puesto esto en las news, pero no me contestan mucho y estoy un poco inpasiente.. Distribución Debian 2.0 (completa) no la de LA. Serían dos cuestiones: 1) Al iniciar KDE, antes de cargar los iconos del escritorio me sale lo siguiente: Imposible encontrar el tipo mime application/x-tbz en usr/share/applnk/Utilities/kzip.kdlnk Antes no me pasaba, algo he hecho. Y así no puedo crear enlaces en el escritorio, con iconos, a programas. 2) Instalé KDE con: dpkg -i nombre_del_paquete.deb y no se ha instalado en /opt/kde Entonces en el .bash_profile me dice que ponga: export KDEDIR=/opt/kde export PATH=$PATH:/opt/kde/bin pero estos directorios no los tengo, qué debo poner. O he instalado mal. Algunas cosas no me funcionan como el kppp, kuser, y otras. (aunque les ponga el path) Las aplicaciones no KDE sí me funcionan. Si alguien tiene la paciencia de responderme se lo agradecería. Gracias. Un Saludo. Gabriel B. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Esto me produce una sensación extraña a la que intento dar respuesta en la lista de Debian exponiendo mis críticas, pero no consigo respuestas que me aclaren el enigma de porque. SuSe está creciendo mucho pero parece ser que en Debian no hay nada criticable o mejorable. No lo entiendo. Sinceramente no conozco SuSe pero según me dicen es bastante más facil de instalar. Yo me quedo con Debian por muchas razones pero estoy empezando a recomendar SuSe a algunos compañeros porque estoy arto de quedar mal. Esto no necesito justificarlo porque me guste o no es la realidad que yo he comprobado. La revista Solo Linux acaba de salir trae la distribución Suse 5.3 con 4 CD's y cuesta 2.995 ptas. En esta revista se califica a Debian como una buena distribución, pero dificil de instalar respecto a RedHat y mucho más respecto a SuSe. Debian me gusta más, trae más paquetes y es gratis, pero para empezar parece que Suse es mejor.

El mantenimiento de la enorme cantidad de paquetes de Debian es algo que no podrían hacer RedHat ni SuSe aunque quisiearan a no ser que partan del trabajo ya realizado por Debian y lo incorporen a la distribución comercial. La importancia que yo doy al número de usuarios es porque en Linux usuarios y desarrolladores van de la mano y si Debian continua perdiendo cota de popularidad frente a otras distribuciones podría llegar a desaparecer (torres más altas han caido) debido a un efecto de liderazgo de otras distribuciones.

Pase a Debian 1.3.1 y me parecio el paraiso. Cuando probe varias RedHat me lleve una desilusion enorme: a pesar de mi escaso nivel, tuve la guindosera sensacion de que todo era demasiado facil, y eso, desgraciadamente, produce sensacion de falta de control y de que el ordenador te esta instalando y haciendo cosas sin que tu lo sepas. Debian, comparado con RedHat (y Suse), me parece mas profesional, y me parece genial que no todas las distribuciones vayan a buscar al novato. Cuando se busca facilidad hasta ciertos extremos se acaban sacrificando la claridad y la flexibilidad, amen de la fiabilidad (caso RedHat). Deben existir distribuciones para principiantes, pero tambien distribuciones mas profesionales para los no principiantes. Debian es la distribucion ideal para los no principiantes (y esta muy bien que sea asi): con esa cantidad de paquetes, con su enorme nivel tecnico y con la seriedad y fiabilidad de sus distribuciones, tiene todas las papeletas para ocupar ese lugar. Se debe intentar mejorar la facilidad, sobre todo durante la instalacion, pero creo que es buena idea no concentrar en este punto demasiados esfuerzos que despues se echen en falta en otros aspectos.

Re: How big is my H/D ?
If you need to use DOS you'll have to upgrade the BIOS, twiddle the BIOS to work (try something like CHS=1023/64/63), or use a hack like Ontrack Disk Manager. Not so. Just make sure that your DOS partition and any Linux root is completely within the limits of the 504MB. The problem comes from the BIOS being old and not permitting access to cylinders beyond the 1024 limit. Linux doesn't have any problem with that, UNLESS you use Lilo. Linux itself DOES NOT use the BIOS, but Lilo does, and that is why any root must be within the limits of the BIOS itself. Just use the rest of it for the other partitions, such as /usr and /home. Its kinda cool in a way because you can have everything other than the root itself beyond the limit, and DOS will never see it and therefore can't screw with it either. Not only DOS by the way, but NT won't like it either...the difference tho' with NT is that if it sees a partition out there, it will refuse to use it, but it will see it. Paul

In a nutshell: Richard M. Stallman had the idea to create a free unix clone. Others liked the idea and helped him. Linux wrote the first working kernel. The ESSENCE of the idea is computer code that is totally open to examination and/or change. You've got your facts confused. I confess to my Linux typo when I meant Linus (Torvalds). By facts confused are you referring to this typo? If not, I would like to know to what. Thanks, joeh Linux Torvald's created the Linux kernel. Richard Stallman founded the Free Software Foundation that is responsible for creating most of the GNU utilities that most, if not all, Linux distributions use. The Linux kernel basically runs an operating system that is comprised predominantly of GNU utilities, in most cases. Linus Torvald's did not create GNU nor did GNU, i.e. the Free Software Foundation, create Linux. Linux by itself is not an operating system. It is for this reason that Debian refers to its Linux distribution as: Debian GNU/Linux ^^^ ^ Here are some Linux related sites that might be of interest: www.linux.org www.linuxhq.com By the way, the FSF is working on their own kernel called the Hurd. The Hurd will probably also run an operating system comprised mainly of GNU utilities, just like most Linux distributions.

#The above line should really have the whole path to perl
#This script must be executable: chmod 755 filter
while (STDIN){chop $_; print $_\r\n;);
#You might also want to end with a form feed: print \f;
Should I leave the STDIN as is or replace it with lp1 or something
else
?

The reason you are getting the stepping is that this is going as raw
data
to the printer, not through any filter. You need to pipe it through lpr,
not send it directly to /dev/lp1.
The ghostscript printer compatibility page
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/printer.html) indicates that the cdj550
driver (which is called by dj550c-filter) is the correct one to use with
the 660C, so you should use the dj550c-filter in magicfilter.
To print a man page, use 'man -t printcap|lpr'.
From the Printing-HowTo, there is an example
#!perl
#The above line should really have the whole path to perl

The easy way is to let magicfilter do the work for you.

RE: [Fwd: H E L P !!!!]
Your Absolutely right !! If I had the CD I would of used it ! It was just a suggestion... it's so much easier, and many people do not know they can boot from it, so they install the operating system from floppies in order to be able to use the CD later. Anyway, there is so much more packages to install after you get the OS (operating system) installed, that if you are in the US, Europe or otherwise could possibly get a CD in a reasonable time frame, it will be worthwile. Diskettes aren't reliable, you know. But all installation can be done from diskettes, I myself did not have a CD when I did my first installation. My information was you were had knowledgeable on the process of installing this software via raw data floppies as described in installation procedures.. I myself do not know much... other people in the list have more and better knowledge than me. Anyway, no knowledge is enough without a full description of error. So many little things can go wrong, from a physical error in the diskette surface to a not-so-clear dialogue, that without the details we are in the dark. The only Indication of any error was on installation of 2,3 4, base 1.44 floppies it stated 2 out of 6 which tells me you used the some of the same raw data for 1.2 floppies as 1.44 --- But there was not any indication of errors --- Anyway, what is the exact, verbatim message you get when the process goes wrong? If you send this details to the list, I am sure someone will be able to help. When I asked you for more details, I intended to give other people in the list who would read your answer better conditions of fixing your problems, because I myself will not be of much help. So, you need to send your answer to the list, not to me personally. That way other people with the same problem as you will benefit as well. Other details that would be important are the machine you have, its configuration, and which version of Debian GNU/Linux you got. Still hoping we can help!
Re: Sendmail configuration
I have to do some tricky sendmail configuration. Can anyone give me a
guide as to what to do with all those .m4 files?
yep, choose the ones you want and stick them in your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
file and then run /usr/sbin/sendmailconfig
Like:
FEATURE(genericstable)dnl ?
The basic problem, is that I need to run one set of rewrites for local
mail and one for external mail(i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] when sending
locally becomes say [EMAIL PROTECTED] when sending local mail and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] when sending external mail)
this is an odd requirement... why do you want to do this? i am aware of
no easy way to do this and am having difficulty imagining a circumstance
where you would be forced to (or would want to). can you give us a little
more info to work with?
Right: my machine is pick.sel.cam.ac.uk University Computing Service (UCS)
rules say that [EMAIL PROTECTED] are not allowed to be valid email
addresses. I therefore tell sendmailconfig that my mail hostname is
cam.ac.uk {This is because when using exim, my mail smarthost would just
bounce things with a cannot route to sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] even
if I had set the From: line correctly}.
Internal mail, therefore needs the hostname bit changed to
pick.sel.cam.ac.uk, so that people replying to local mail reply to the
sender locally rather than trying to send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is
a valid external mail address in many cases).
External mail, however, needs to substitute peoples @cam.ac.uk email
addresses. For example, user emma needs to have [EMAIL PROTECTED],
mcv21 needs to become [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so on.
you might check out genericstable and the userdatabase i believe that they
might do what you want but you would have to maintain a user database of
all addresses at either domain which wouldn't be a lot of fun.
I don't have very many users, and so re-running some sort of database
generator would be OK, but I can't figure out sendmail at all :(
Thanks,
Matthew

Re: How do you use su under X?
Cookies are just random keys that are assigned to an X session (by xdm) when you log in. In order to display anything in that session you have to have that key. RedHat and SuSE probably don't enable their use. Under Debian you can disable them via the xdm configuration file in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config. If you wanted to turn them off you'd set DisplayManager._0.authorize to false. The reason the cookies exist is because X is pretty insecure without them. It's easy, for example, if you have xhost + localhost set for someone on localhost to capture you're keystrokes in any of your windows, or take snap shots of your screen.

Permissions for vfat mounted drive
Hello Debian Land, I have a question about access permissions. I can access my vfat mounted windows98 partition as any user, however I can only get write access when I am root. My linux and win98 partitions are on the same harddrive. I used to be able to get the desired access by adding users to the dos group when I was using debian 1.3.1, but this dos group was not a default creation when I installed debian 2.0. I created a dos group and tried to assign the win98 partition as belonging to the dos group, but this did not work, only assigning the mount point to dos and not the file hierachy underneath that mount point. I even tried to chmod it, but no luck. Any ideas how I can get no root access to my win98 partion, or is it a Fat32 problem. P.s. I realise that some people would consider none root access to the dos/win partion a security hole, but I am aware of this, thanks. -- John Stevenson, Objective Alliance: www.oa.nl Objects are not a technology, they are a state of mind
Re: [ale] /dev/audio: Device or resource busy
Thus spake Wandered Inn ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Make sure you don't have an irq conflict. Shows below it's taking 7, isn't that what the parallel port normally takes?? Thanks for the idea. Hadn't thought of that. Um, I don't think I've got a conflict, but here's some /proc related system info. Do you see anything that catches your eye? BTW, I don't have a printer or anything attached to a parallel port here. I have to print to a remote printer on another Linux box here at home. But I think the parallel port may be taking the irq7 just the same. I think mines configured in the bios. That's the only difference I really see here. Well, it turns out I had installed something called nas, Network Audio Support. Never heard of it. Guess it was a new package. That was part of the conflict. I also went to the BIOS, gave the parallel port IRQ 5 (Yep, you were right. It wanted 7!!!), and recompiled the kernel with sound on IRQ 7, and voila! It worked.

IPFW works a little to well...
Greetings, Looking for a little help with ipfwadm. Got a good machine running 2.0, two nics and the system is passing traffic wonderfully. Now I would like to put in packet filtering. IPFW sounds as though it will fit the bill. The HOWTO regarding IPFW suggests a script, which I have written and is below. The problem, when I execute the script nothing comes in, nothing goes out, the perfect firewall. The bad news is I need some traffic to pass. The network behind the firewall is a subnet of a class B network with 255 addresses. If you have any insight on why I might be running into trouble, or if you have suggestions, I would love to hear from you. #!/bin/sh # Setup IP packet Accounting and Forwarding # # # By Default DENY ALL services first ipfwadm -F -p deny # # Flush all Commands ipfwadm -F -f ipfwadm -I -f ipfwadm -O -f # # Allow email to NCTAMS01 ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 -D 111.229.13.13 # Allow email to NS1 Relay host ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 -D 111.229.13.2 # Allow email to outside mail severs from NCTAMS01 ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 111.229.13.13 25 -D 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 # Allow email to ouside mail servers from NS1 ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 111.229.13.2 25 -D 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 # Allow DNS traffic to NS1 ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P udp -S 0.0.0.0/0 53 -D 111.229.13.2 ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 53 -D 111.229.13.2 ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 111.229.232.0/24 82 -D 111.229.13.2 # Allow Web connections to outside Web Servers ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 111.229.13.0/24 80 -D 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 # Allow FTP connection to outside Servers ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 111.229.13.0/24 20 -D 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 111.229.13.0/24 21 -D 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 # Allow Telnet connections to outside Servers ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 111.229.13.0/24 23 -D 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 # Allow NTP time to NS1 ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 111.229.13.2 123 -D 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 Anthony Landreneau Network Administrator Infinity Data Systems New Orleans Louisiana (504)455-8973

to the printer, not through any filter. You need to pipe it through lpr,
not send it directly to /dev/lp1.
The ghostscript printer compatibility page
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/printer.html) indicates that the cdj550
driver (which is called by dj550c-filter) is the correct one to use with
the 660C, so you should use the dj550c-filter in magicfilter.
To print a man page, use 'man -t printcap|lpr'.
From the Printing-HowTo, there is an example
#!perl
#The above line should really have the whole path to perl
#This script must be executable: chmod 755 filter
while (STDIN){chop $_; print $_\r\n;);
#You might also want to end with a form feed: print \f;
Should I leave the STDIN as is or replace it with lp1 or something
else
?
The easy way is to let magicfilter do the work for you.

Hey All, Just need to know if anyone is doing DTP with Debian and what they recommend using. My wife has a home based business and I would like to create some flyers, tri-fold pamplets and such for here. So ideally it has to be easy for her to use, but if not I'll do all the work! Rod

Re: How do you use su under X?
Helge Hafting [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I want the cookie security so other users can't do anything wrong. I also want root to be able to use the X display no matter who is running x. What is the simplest way to achieve this? At the command line in the user's session, type: su -c xauth add $(xauth list $DISPLAY); xterm This will prompt you for the root password, and then open an xterm running as root in the background. You will also be able to start other X clients from that xterm window. (Be sure to use double quotes. Single quotes will expand the $(xauth list $DISPLAY) as root, not as the current user.) If you want to be fancy, you could make this a shell script, and put it in, say, /usr/local/bin/xsu: #!/bin/bash su $1 -c xauth add $(xauth list $DISPLAY); xterm Then you would just type `xsu' to start an xterm as root, or `xsu joeuser' to start an xterm as joeuser. -- David Zelinsky [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Re: How big is my H/D ?
Quoting wb2oyc ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): If you need to use DOS you'll have to upgrade the BIOS, twiddle the BIOS to work (try something like CHS=1023/64/63), or use a hack like Ontrack Disk Manager. Not so. Just make sure that your DOS partition and any Linux root is completely within the limits of the 504MB. The problem comes from the BIOS being old and not permitting access to cylinders beyond the 1024 limit. Linux doesn't have any problem with that, UNLESS you use Lilo. Linux itself DOES NOT use the BIOS, but Lilo does, and that is why any root must be within the limits of the BIOS itself. Just use the rest of it for the other partitions, such as /usr and /home. Its kinda cool in a way because you can have everything other than the root itself beyond the limit, and DOS will never see it and therefore can't screw with it either. Taking that philosophy to its extreme, and using loadlin to boot linux, you can have a DOS partition of 504MB and all the linux partitions outside the pale. (Loadlin uses a copy of the kernel within its filesystem.)

bash completion
(using slink + some potato): I went through the X11 fiasco with the locales (fixed it for X, thanks!), and around the same time, had my file-completion under bash break (it completes with garbage).

Re: Installing Debian 2.0 on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 440 CDT
Hello, Dont Panic !!! There is nothing wrong with your laptop, except that it has the same feature as all the other toshiba laptops (and a few other brands). The Toshiba laptops require special rescue and drivers and these are located in the tecra folder in the boot disk directory. If you are installing using floppy, you will need to create alternative rescue and drivers disks using the files in the tecra directory. If you are installing from CD you might have to create a rescue disk in order to boot properly, I cant remember if this is neccessary. But when installing the kernel image and drivers you need to select alternative paths, not the default directories. You are offered the choice when running the install. Hope this helps to get you going. I am not sure what you have to do in order to compile the kernel youself, as you will still need to add something somewhere to ensure the toshiba patch is added to your own rolled kernel. John.
