Holas! Me acabo de pasar toda la noche tratando configurar mi debian Bo para que me baje los mails de mi ISP, pero al parecer no llego a entender la filosofia detras de todo esto. Toda la documentacion que me he leido esta orientada a instalar un MTA como si la maquina estuviera conectada permanentemente y sirviera ademas para rutear mensajes a traves de Internet... cuando lo unico que yo quiero es bajar mis mensajes y ya. Hasta ahora he usado netscape, el cual se conecta directamente al servidor del ISP, remotamente y se trae los mensajes. Si alguien pudiera explicarme como se hace que un MTA haga eso estando instalado en una maquina que apenas tiene una identidad en la red (un ip dinamico), pero no tanto a nivel de archivos de configuracion y detalles tecnicos, sino a nivel de filosofia del asunto, creo que eso es lo que me esta faltando para dar con la solucion. SI sirve de algo estuve tratando de configurar EXIM, porque decia por ahi que era mas facil de configurar que otros MTAs.

Instalate el smail que con eso ya tienes suficiente. También te has de instalar fetchmail. Cuando configures el correo selecciona la opción Internet Site. Fetchmail se encargará de recoger tu correo de una cuenta POP3 y hacerle creer a tu ordenador que lo acaba de recibir directamente de otra máquina de Internet. Esto es, cada email que tengas en tu cuenta POP3 lo inyectará por el puerto SMTP de tu ordenador. En ese puerto (creo que es el 25), está escuchando el MTA, de manera que cuando detecta que hay un email, lo coje y hace con él todo lo necesario para que llegue a su destino. Lo que yo haría en tu caso es instalar el paquete smail y configurarlo. Pruebas ha mandarte varios emails de root a tu usuario y mira si te llegan (correo local). Cuando esto te funcione te instalas el paquete fetchmail. Para entregar el correo de TU PC a tu proveedor has de ejecutar runq una vez estés conectado a Inet.

¡Criticadme mi página web Linux porfa!
Hola a todos y feliz 1999 antes de nada, acabo de subir unas páginas dedicadas a Linux en http://www.ctv.es/USERS/vigu/linux/vigulinux.html se que no son una maravilla pero... bueno por lo menos intento poner poco a poco en un mismo sitio lo que yo siempre uso y me es muy util. Decidme que me falta o sobra o que debo variar. Estoy abierto a cualquier colaboración, enlace desde mi página a otras que tengais hechas vosotros, si alguien tiene una idea y quiere compartirla ¡ya sabe!. Quiero crear una sección dedicada a truquillos y pequeñas cuestiones de configuración y uso de Debian que después de estar mucho tiempo en esta lista me he dado cuenta de que son reiterativas... ya se ya se, están los howtos, pero bueno, parece que es más amigable para el que empieza desde cero a veces una página web. Repito, estoy abierto a todo, soy Open Maind (~Open Source... bueno era un chiste, ¡no me mateis!) ;-) Saludos y perdón por si alguien se molesta por que utilice la lista para promocionar una página web, pero ese no es mi objetivo, mi objetivo es que la gente en la que confio mi sistema linux, a veces a ciegas, me aconsejen sobre mi trabajo.

SI sirve de algo estuve tratando de configurar EXIM, porque decia por ahi que era mas facil de configurar que otros MTAs. Te cuento mas o menos como los tengo yo, que debe ser una forma bastante usual entre los que usamos Debian. En principio necesitas cuatro programas si quieres algo completito. 1. Un servidor SMTP (el MTA del que hablabas). Los mas usados en Debian suelen ser Sendmail y Smail. Yo tengo este ultimo, y con el script de configuracion smailconfig queda listo para funcionar. 2. Un servidor POP (en mi caso qpopper) que permita que puedas solicitarte correo a ti mismo, como si lo estuvieses pillando de la cuenta de tu ISP. 3. Un cliente POP que se baje el correo de tus cuetas de Inet y las deje en el servidor POP local. Fetchmail es el mas utilizado. 4. El programita que quieras utilizar para leer/escribir correo. Puedes seguir usando NetScape pero configurandolo para que los servidores SMTP y POP sean tu propio equipo (localhost). Yo prefiero el mutt en modo texto, aunque estoy en temporada de pruebas con el NetScape a ver como le sienta a mis neuronas el trabajar en entorno grafico ;-) Todo esto viene con la Debian Hamm, y venia con la BO. Ademas, tanto Smail como qpopper quedan listos para funcionar una vez que los instales y respondas a las preguntitas pertinentes. La configuracion de fetchmail te la tendras que currar, pero es muy facil. Si quieres te paso mi fichero del fetchmail y ya veras que no tiene gran misterio. Finalmente, si quieres filtrar el correo al recibirlo, o clasificarlo en distintas carpetas, te vendra bien procmail, aunque aqui me paro porque no lo he usado (lo tengo pendiente).

Building a custom install
I want to burn a CD which is -basically- debian, but has two or three extra packages present and marked as necessary, and also runs a script which changes which packages are and aren't selected (depending on things such as the partition sizes) before it runs dselect. (It's for a volunteer project to install linux on old computers and donate them to people who wouldn't otherwise have a computer) I probably also want to use a custom kernel, and pre-answer some of the questions in the install script (eg: there'll never be any pcmcia or scsi devices, or a lot of the other weird stuff, so not to ever ask about it). Can I put extra 'info' screens into the install scripts too? Where do I find instructions about doing this type of stuff?

Thanks/Switching X managers
Hi, I'm trying to set it up so that after I sign into X the fvwm2 windows manager comes up and not fvwm95. I followed the tutorial directions at the Debian site to do this: touch ~/.xsession chmod u+x ~/.xsession I then used locate .xsession and found three files in /home/kent directory: .xsession~ .xsession .xsession-errors I placed exec fvwm2 in both the .xsession and .xsession~ files and used chmod again. I did all steps as a regular user while in the /home directory. I rebooted and nothing changed in X. The directions at the Debian site said the files should be in the home directory so I moved the three files to /home. Rebooted and no change. What am I doing wrong? BTW thanks to everyone for helping me get Communicator up and running:) Kent

XFree86 3.3.2.3a-8pre9v2 available, and help wanted
There is another test build of the XFree86 packages available. The .dsc and .changes files are not PGP signed. These are not official debian packages; they are simply used to make sure I have not introduced something hideous into the X packages. *) http://master.debian.org/~branden/xfree86/ *) Apt users, see the APT file at the URL above *) This test build addresses at least 34 distinct bugs in the Debian BTS. *) The sooner I can close the book on slink X, the sooner I can get 3.3.3 packaged. *) 3.3.3 is not in slink because it is too new, and the security vulnerabilities it addresses are relative 3.3.2, not the subsequent patches that XFree86 released (up to 3.3.2.3, which is what we're using) *) Most people want 3.3.3 because the new SVGA server supports their graphics hardware. Such folks should download the server binary from ftp.xfree86.org, unpack the .tar.gz, put the XF86_SVGA file in /usr/local/bin, edit /etc/X11/Xserver appropriately, and go about their business. There are a few things remaining to be accomplished with X before I declare it done, and move on to 3.3.3, and I need help on a few of these: 1) xf86config.c needs to be modified to edit /etc/X11/Xserver, writing the name of the selected X server to it 2) the XF86Setup tcl scripts need to be similarly modified 3) I have the Euro patches that were submitted to freshmeat, but am unclear on *exactly* what needs to be done to include this support; for instance, there appear to be xmodmap files for the new charatcer set (ISO 8859-15), but no XKB support?

Re: LILO
Could someone tell me how do I install LILO and where, in what files, do I configure it, and of course how ? LILO is installed in a default Debian setup. If for some reason you need to reinstall it, just download the lilo*.deb file from ftp.debian.org. Once downloaded, just use dpkg -i lilo*.deb to install it. The install will ask you about whether you want to install LILO on your master boot record or not. To configure LILO, the main configuration file is /etc/lilo.conf. To reset lilo after compiling a kernel or for some other reason, just run the command liloconfig. Documentation is in /usr/doc/lilo. You can get information about any Debian package installed in the /var/lib/dpkg/info subdirectory. In that, just do a ls looking for package name.list (e.g. lilo.list). That package name.list file will list out every file that a particular software package installed on yoru system -- quite helpful sometimes. -- Regards,| Debian GNU/ __ o http://www.debian.org . |/ / _ _ _ _ _ __ __ Randy | / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | // /_/ /_/\/ /___/ /_/\_\ http://www.golgotha.net | ...because lockups are for convicts...

Re: Defragging large filesystems

I have an 8gig hard drive which I made a single ext2 filesystem to hold my mp3s. While ripping and encoding some of my CDs, the fragmentation jumped to 45%, so I figured it was time to defrag. Are you sure? ext2 is quite good to keep files allocated continiously. AFAIK, fragmentation percentage is not what you're probably thinking. ext2 allocates space for file in continious blocks which has some size limit (few megs?). I believe fragmentation percentage means that more than one continious block is allocated for file(s), but that blocks might be as well following each other ! What does that mean? Real fragmentation percentage always less than or equal to reported one, and i don't know how to get the real one reported. I might be very wrong though... HNY OK
Re: dumping to tape drive
I too have an Exabyte 8200. Mine works, so I mention what I do.
The primary line I use is
/sbin/dump 0uBf 250 /dev/nst0 /
Notice the 0 for a whole dump, the B for size 2.5MB (250)
You merely needed to tell it how long your tape is,
otherwise the default is old-fashioned small.
If you have a Buslogic SCSI controller, it could be incompatible with
your Exabyte tape -- search the debian-user archives for the last couple
months,
or send me email (Exabyte has a firmware change you can make).
Both Buslogic and Exabyte are giving the Linux community some help,

Multiple X sessions?
Greetings, Is there a way of starting two X sessions with *different* screen sizes ? I can start a second session fine but it uses the same screen size as the primary. I've tried Ctrl-Alt-[-+] but it only changes the resolution, not the screen size. What I want to do is start an X desktop running xvncviewer only. Since the machine it is viewing runs at 800x600, and the local resolution is 1600x1200, the difference is extremely annoying.

I followed the tutorial directions at the Debian site to do this: touch ~/.xsession chmod u+x ~/.xsession Another method that you can use, but one which will affect ALL users, is to edit /etc/X11/window-managers. The first one on the list is the default window-manager, so move fvwm2 to the top of the list. You will not then need to do anything with .xsession. Another thing to note, if you do need to change ~/.xsession, is that .xsession is used by xdm but not by startx (which uses .xinitrc). You should ensure that ~/.xsession is linked to ~/.xinitrc so that they are effectively the same file.

I installed sane, but looking at the docs it seems as though the only Umax scanners it supports are SCSI models; this is a parallel port scanner. I have the Mustek 9636P and have the same problem. We need to obtain/decode/hack (?) the protocol used for communication between the parallel port and the scanner to write the driver. Unfortunately the Mustek dosn't seem to be interested in releasing the protocol's specification (may be they are afraid, that someone will copy their genial solutions or maybe they are ashamed of it :-) ...), I'm afraid Umax will not release their protocol either. Unfortunately the Mustek's driver doesn't work with wine (it is VxD based), so I'm unable to investigate the protocol with the software tools. The only solution is to hack the protocol with the parallel port sniffer (or logic state analyser). The driver for my scanner works not only in EPP, but also in SPP nibble mode, so sniffing of the parallel port should be easy (however it requires a relativey simple additional hardware). Unfortunately I'm just finishing my PhD thesis, so at the moment I have no time for this project... Wojtek Zabolotny [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS.

instead of the normal startx call. Default colordepth is 16, you can

Debian and Cyrus IMAP server
Has anyone installed the CMU Cyrus Imap server? I am having a hell of a time running the ./configure script because of a tcl problem. Here is the output of the script: (I am running it with the --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.0 switch on by the way) checking if tclsh knows where tclConfig.sh is... no checking for a tclConfig.sh in likely places... unknown configure: warning: tclsh was found, but tclConfig.sh could not be located. configure: warning: Either your Tcl install was too old to be usable, configure: warning: or tclsh doesn't know where it's supposed to live. configure: error: Use --with-tcl or --disable-cyradm, or fix your Tcl installati on. Is there something particular with the Debian tcl packages? According to the documentation on cyrus, this should work for Red Hat. Please cc your reply directly to me, Thanks a lot, Antonio

modprobe: Cannot locate module char-major-10
I have searched the mailing list archives for this problem, and I understand it can be solved by aliasing module char-major-10 to off, but I would like to understand what is going on. (It is not really a problem, because in spite of the message everything seems to work.) The problem appeared on my box when I upgraded from the Debian hamm kernel 2.0.34 to a 2.0.36 kernel straight from linux. The only relevent difference in the configuration of these kernels seems to be: diff -u /boot/config-2.0.34 /usr/src/linux-2.0.36/.config # # Character devices # -CONFIG_SERIAL=m +CONFIG_SERIAL=y In human language: The Debian 2.0.34 configured the serial support as a module, whereas I included it into the 2.0.36 kernel itself. It seems that, even when the serial support is included into the kernel, 'somebody' still wants to access it as a module, but I can't find who, where and why. Can somebody explain what is going on? Thanks in advance. -- Jeroen N. Witmond ( mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xs4all.nl/~jnw/ ) This message was composed in a Micro$oft-free environment.

Rundown on Netscape .deb packages?
Can someone give a quick rundown on the various Netscape packages out there?

It would be helpful to get explainations of what each package actually is. Everything I've found on them has been insufficient, except for the dependencies. (I know some of the packages are obvious, but I included them for those who would like to know). There ia also a .tar.gz file that has to be downloaded from ftp.netscape.com, but there are two versions: libc5(supported) and glibc2(unsupported). Which one?

Termcap and Libc5/6 with Debian Problems...
I have a binary that is linked with both libc6 and libtermcap2 that I am trying to get running. I tried installing the termcap-compat debian package, and that provide the binary with the needed libtermcap library. Unfortuntely, since libtermcap was built and linked using libc5 (as stated in the package description), both libc5 and libc6 end up linked to my binary when I do a 'ldd' on it (I do have the libc5 package installed). I am rewarded for my efforts by a segfault of the binary when I try to run it, which is quite understandable given the two, conflicting, libcs present. The worse news is that I can not recompile the binary, as it is a commerical product. The product is C/BASE 4GL from Conetic (www.conectic.com) if any one is interested. It is actually thier demo version, and I have had the same problems with both thier Eval kit for RH5.0 and the one for RH5.1. Now, how, if possible, can one get this binary running? I imagine that I need a libtermcap2 built/linked with libc6. Does such a debian package exists? Or do I need to go find the sources and built it myself? Or should I just find a RH machine to test out this program? :( Thanks in adavance for any help! PS. This is better than thier previous Eval kit they had up until just recently...

Re: Strange PPP problem
Akop, Did you try to dial you ISP with a terminal emulator, like minicom? This is a good way to find out exactly what it expects as far as send and expect strings. The log looks similar to mine.

micro-HOWTO (was Serial consoles)
Hi! I've seen FreeBSD being installed over a serial console and thought Hmm, how can I do this with debian?. I was aware of the sercons stuff in recent 2.1 kernels. Initiated by a question from Shane Wegner on debian-user I tried it out (up to partition a harddisk - I had no spare disk to continue). Cleto Pescia [EMAIL PROTECTED] finished an installation and sent me all those missing hints. I'm summing this up for all those of you intereseted in it. It's based on Debian 2.0 (hamm), but should work with other versions, too. Get a recent 2.1 (or 2.2) kernel or patch your 2.0 sources with Miquel van Smoorenburg's patch to backport the sercons stuff: ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/kernel/ Build a replacement kernel for the installation disk. Enable sercons, initrd, ext2, msdosfs and all needed drivers. Do not use modules (or prepare to hack the driver disk, too). Check the install manual for more details (in case I missed something) Put the kernel on the rescue disk: mount /tmp/resc1440.bin /mnt -o loop cp the new kernel to /mnt/linux and run sh /mnt/rdev.sh Edit /mnt/syslinux.cfg to automatically boot with sercons: set TIMEOUT to 1 and add console=ttyS0,9600n8 to all APPEND lines (for COM1, 9600 Baud, no parity, 8bits, software handshake) (possibly unneded if you have no graphics card and keyboard attached) Add the needed /dev/console to the rescue disk's root-fs: zcat /mnt/root.bin /tmp/root.bin mount /tmp/root.bin /floppy mknod -m 622 console c 5 1 as root umount /floppy gzip -c9 /tmp/root.bin /mnt/root.bin The new rescue disk image is done. umount /mnt Make a boot floppy cp /tmp/resc144.bin /dev/fd0 boot from the rescue disk, select monocolor and your keyboard (used for virtual console), select open a shell from the menu, manually run fdisk (cfdisk segfaults), exit the shell and continue installation as usual (alternatively symlink cfdisk - fdisk in root.bin) before you reboot your new system, reopen a shell. make the new-style console device rm /target/dev/console cp /dev/console /target/dev/ (alternatively modify base*.tgz) Instruct lilo to use the sercons, too: echo 'append = console=ttyS0,9600n8' /target/etc/lilo.conf echo 'serial=0,9600n8' /target/etc/lilo.conf lilo Make root logins via the sercons possible: echo ttyS0 /target/etc/securetty and put a getty on the serial line: Edit /target/etc/inittab and uncomment the line starting with T0. (alternatively modify /etc/init-tab in root.bin) reboot Special Thanks to: Miquel van Smoorenburg for the sercons patch Cleto Pescia [EMAIL PROTECTED] for finishing what I started.

Apache modules compiling ?
I want to add the mod_auth_pam module from Ingo Lütkebohle [EMAIL PROTECTED] from http://blank.pages.de/pam/ to my existing apache-ssl setup.

modem problems
Ok, got my new debian system up and running at work (yahoo!!), now i'm trying to do the same at home. Everything seems to have installed properly, but i can't get my modem to respond. I tried a cat /dev/ ttyS1 atdt## to see if i could get a response, and nothing. I'm sure that the modem is on comm2, and that it works, because my wife is able to connect to our ISP on the windows side of the machine (I'm not doing a very good job of convincing her that she should abandon the dark side :)). Any suggestions? Thanks. Brent

How to establish a semi-permanent dial-up connection?
Hi, folks What I'm trying to setup is this: When I boot-up my system, I want to get a dial-up ppp connection to my ISP and grab mail. I want this to happen without having to manually run pon after I log in. I also want to be able to detect if the line has gone down and re-connect in that event. I am currently using fetchmail, running as a daemon, by having the fetchmail-up script which starts it in ip-up.d. This works ok, except I have to run pon to start everything. However, if the line disconnects, fetchmail has no way of getting it back up again. I think I can do what I want by using diald. That way, whenever fetchmail wakes up to get new mail, diald will reconnect if the line has died. My question is: instead of having fetchmail start up from ip-up, how to I get it going by itself? In other words, I want to start fetchmail in daemon mode during the boot sequence. I know it has to be after diald gets started, or the thing won't work the first time out. Where do I put the fetchmail-up script to make this happen properly? -- 'til next we type... HAVE FUN!! -- Jesse

Re: How to establish a semi-permanent dial-up connection?
My question is: instead of having fetchmail start up from ip-up, how to I get it going by itself? In other words, I want to start fetchmail in daemon mode during the boot sequence. I know it has to be after diald gets started, or the thing won't work the first time out. Where do I put the fetchmail-up script to make this happen properly? Add a script to /etc/rc.boot called fetchmail or something. Be sure the first line of the script indicates the shell to run the script (i.e. #!/bin/sh) and make sure the script is chown root:root and chmod 0750. I can't remember for sure or not - it's been a while since I worked with fetchmail - but you may have to do a /bin/su -c 'command line to run fetchmail' username to get fetchmail to run as a user other than root But, probably all you'll have to do is move the fetchmail line out of ip-up and into the new script created above. Hope this helps! Later, Kevin Traas Kevin Traas.vcf Description: Binary data

How can I set things up to be sure that diald has been started before fetchmail-up runs. BTW, here is the fetchmail-up script I'm refering to: #!/bin/sh test -r /etc/fetchmailrc \ /usr/bin/fetchmail -d 600 --syslog --fetchmailrc /etc/fetchmailrc TIA for any advice!

Rename /etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot to /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot . Ppp will then come up when you boot. I also want to be able to detect if the line has gone down and re-connect in that event. Add 'persist' to /etc/ppp/peers/provider . Pppd will then attempt to recconnect when the link goes down. Where do I put the fetchmail-up script to make this happen properly? If it is in ip-up.d it will get run whenever ppp comes up regardless of why. -- John HaslerThis posting is in the public domain. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do with it what you will.

Zmagic binaries linked with libc4! :( It would probably be easier to get those running though :-) Just grab libc4 and a few other things from buzz, rex or bo. Although the a.out stuff is not included with current releases, the old versions still work just fine. All my machines are originally buzz and they have it installed still.
