A *mi* servidor local claro, pero no a mi ISP.

 Al  enviar  un  mensaje  desde  el  lector  de  news,  INN  lo
 coloca  en  el   grupo  que  le  corresponda  y   se  crea  un
 archivo  en  `/var/spool/news/out.going/',  el  mio  se  llama
 `diana.bcn.ttd.net',  con   la  referencia  al   mensaje,  que
 utilizará   Suck   para   postearlo   al   servidor   cuando
 conecte. Algo como ésto:
 
 esp/comp/so/linux/2325 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 es/comp/os/linux/25398 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Eso no me aparece por nigún lado :-?

 El script de Suck para recibir  las news también se encarga de
 enviarlas,  y si  falla acaba  su ejecución  sin entregar  los
 mensajes recibidos a INN, y te darías cuenta.

No te entiendo, si INN es un servidor y suck es el que tragina con
usuario/servidor, ¿por qué me voy a enterar si suck ve al servidor para
enviar posts a mi máquina y no a la de mi ISP?

 La prueba  definitiva es rearrancar  W$ y ver si  tus mensajes
 aparecen en  el grupo (con  el mismo servidor  configurado, si
 usas otro a lo mejor no ha llegado).

Con arrancar Netscape y en Preferencias poner 'news.ctv.es' como tu
servidor de noticias vale. M$ Win ni en pintura please... si caso através

 de este modo lo unico que tendria que hacer es cargar el modulo de la

 pero el sistema responde:

 asi que me puse a probar otras irq consiguiendo instalar el modulo en la
 irq=15

Creo entender que la RDSI es ISA, si el sistema te ocupa automaticamente
la irq 10, es que estara puesto en la bios que la pueda tener un
dispositivo PCI.
Tienes que cambiar en la bios la asignacion de esa interrupcion poniendo

Llevo un tiempo esperando que alguna revista publique un CD con debian 2.1 
y no he visto
ninguna. ¿Sabe alguien si alguna lo ha hecho?. De no haberlo hecho ninguna, ¿de 
donde puedo bajarme
una imagen para pasarla a CD y cómo para instalarlo?

Gracias

Bien, yo estoy hablando con varias (Linux Actual y Sólo P. Linux) para
incluirlo en sus revistas, junto con un articulillo (sobre instalación y
novedades) que sería parecido al que escribí para OpenResources
(http://www.openresources.org). 
De momento LA me ha dicho que quizás, pero será para el número 8
(junio/julio creo), Sólo P. Linux aún no ha respondido (les había planteado
hacer un especial como hicieron para SUSE según recuerdo, que incluyera los
5 Cds)
En cualquier caso si quieres bajarte las imágenes prueba
http://cdimage.debian.org, pero si no quieres hacertelas encargaselas a
Datom (creo que es http://www.datom.de, pero mira las páginas del servidor
de Debian, en la sección de empresas que venden Debian) parecer funcionan
muy bien (además allí trabajan varios desarrolladores de Debian) y tienen
CD's con algunos añadidos (dan non-free, por ejemplo).

Hombre Javier, en vez de encargárselos a los de Datom, en Alemania, puede
encargárselos a I+D Agora (http://www.id-agora.com), que están en España,
también aparecen en las páginas del servidor de Debian (los únicos en
España), los CDs también funcionan muy bien (el método de instalación se
basa en el fantástico apt, no se basa en el dpkg-multicd que no gestiona
predependencias), en I+D Agora también trabajan varios desarrolladores de
Debian :-) y también tienen CDs con muchos añadidos (non-free, non-US,
GNOME, KDE, ...). Además la instalación está en castellano y los CDs
vienen con el manual de instalación (en papel), también en castellano.

Vale, ya está bien de hacer publicidad de la Citius Debian, pero es que

Creo que esa tarjeta Teles traia un CD con utilidades que te permitian,
entre otras cosas, cambiar eso.

Mira tambien en el manual los valores de los dos microinterruptores de la
tarjeta, que creo recordar que eran para la I/O.

Si lo tienes mas facil, cambia la IRQ de la tarjeta de red, seguramente con
alguna pequeña utilidad para DOS que le acompañe.

Diferencias entre WET DST y WEST

1999-04-12 Thread Tomás Bautista
Hola!

Intento recoger en mi máquina GNU/Debian 2.1 la hora por ntp desde una
RedHat 4.2. El caso es que la mía está configurada con la hora WEST y la
RedHat con WET DST. Aún así sé que en las dos el timezone está señalando
a la misma zona (Atlantic/Canary).

El problema (temo ser repetitivo) es que al final se me retrasa una hora
con respecto a la RedHat. Yo creía que WET DST y WEST eran la misma cosa,
pero... ¿cómo podría confirmarlo ---si es así o no---? Alguien me podría
decir si podría jugar con el ntp para forzar a que esta diferencia de 1
hora no se produzca y siga manteniendo mi máquina con WEST?

Gracias,

   Tomás.

Re: setting up DNS

1999-04-12 Thread iodine

On the topic of DNS anyone kind enough to forward a copy of a named.conf
file for bind that shows me how to setup the domains I host on the dns
server as seconardy.

named.boot contains (cut to show example of interested part)
secondary   domainpri\domain.zone

I just need to know how I changed the named.conf on a primary dns to suit a
secondary dns setup, and then forced it to only look at 1 master for
changes?

Subject: setting up DNS


Hello,

I'm going to be registering a domain soon, and I'm having some
problems...after having gone to www.internic.net, and filling out the forms
there, I got some error messges back:


ERROR: Name Server SILVER168.MMINTERNET.COM/209.241.149.168
is not registered with InterNIC.

You cannot register this host through domain registration process
because...

You are not authorized to register hosts in MMINTERNET.COM domain

First register this host through the host registration process or
choose a different name-server.


my ADSL provider is mminternet.com, and my address is
silver168.mminternet.com (the IP is listed above).

am I missing something here?

more importantly, if I'm not mistaken, I will have to run a DNS
server...I've read through some of the DNS-HOWTO, but I need to first
install a DNS server...I've looked for one on the CD's (from
www.cheapbytes.com), but was only able to find dnsutils.  Am I looking in
the right place?

are there any URLs what describe in-depth what I'm trying to do?

thanks for any help!!

Maybe some interrupt conflict or such? Check /proc/interrupts

Already done. I hesitated to provide too much or irrelevant information
initially, so I'll give a more complete picture now. The box is as basic as
possible: 486/33, 16mb RAM, plain all-isa mobo, trident s3 w/mono VGA, the
ne2000 clone (at a very plain-jane IRQ and IO base, 3-300), 3.5 floppy and
250Mb hard drive. All the /proc stuff checks out okay AFA possible hardware
conflicts.

Did you try to ping or telnet to your box from some other host in the
net? Does the RX line in ifconfig show received packages?

Yes, and no. As before, the ping works fine under LOAF. Wish I had more time
and energy to compare a few different distros on this box; this is truly a
weird beast. Right now I'm booted to LOAF, in fact, so I can telnet
downstairs and compose this message...

Pinging your own IP won't use the interface, so this should always
work and is no indicator for a proper setup.

Thanks for clearing that up; I had been under the assumption that using the
loopback interface (127.0.0.1) would not use eth0, but that using the real
local address would at least use that interface, if not go out over the
wire. Maybe it's time to try reading the RFC's again, after a few years of
getting familiar with the basic concepts of TCP and actually slogging my way
through some books on the subject; the 30th anniversary one, as well as 2196
(determining security policy for Internet hosts) reminded me that there's
nothing like the original source.

I've been recently tackling this whole issue in preparation for registering
a domain. So as always, may others gently correct my errors.

To register a domain, you need two things: a static IP address, and two
nameservers. Virtual host providers give you a static IP on their machine,
and if you have a high-speed connection you may use your own. Generally the
host provider runs the required nameservers; you *can* run your own if you
need/want to, but if you have to ask why you want it, you probably don't
need it. So for most people, the pair of nameservers you give are whatever
names your provider tells you to use. 

(Naturally, any high-speed connection you run personally should be protected
by at *least* a simple firewall. A tool called Mason can help the novice
user with firewall configuration. Good passwords that aren't trivially
guessable should be used and changed regularly on the firewall machine. Fast
connections are a rich target for enterprising script kiddies and the (very)
occasional malicious attacker. See www.opensec.net/tools.html for lots of
powerful tools which may be used for good or ill. Those interested in the

re: routing issue

1999-04-12 Thread debian
Anyone care to help me out with some routing issues.

What I have is a linux machine with a perm modem, with an ip of 139.130.x.x,
then a 64 ip subnet of 203.x.x.128, which gets broadcast out over my perm
modem.

So my linux machine has a ppp0 (or ppp1) with 139.130.x.x address, then my
eth0 in this machine has 203.x.x.129 and a netmask of 255.255.255.192.

What I want to do, is to install a eth1 network card, and have a 192.168.1.0
network on eth1 and ip-masq it. Anyone beable to help me out with the
routing, as I do the setup and get both network cards going, compile the
kernel with everything I need in. And only the ip-masq 192.168.1.0 network
will work, I seem to loose all connectivity with the 203.x.x.128 network, it
just doesn't work, even with all the ip-forwarding on.

Is it possible that the recompile of kernel/reboot etc, some how changed
/proc/net/ip_forward, would this stop the 203 blah network from not working?

Might have to install it all again and see if it does. Comments welcome
though.

Setup questions -- HELP!!

1999-04-12 Thread Jim Campbell




Hello, everyone -- 

Getting to know Debian Linux has been fun, but I 
haven't gotten as far as I would have liked with setup. Here are my 
issues. Can someone help?

- Can't run X-windows

I successfully ran the XF86Setup utility, and got 
it to display and recognize my mouse (a PS/2 style mouse, on /dev/psaux). 
However, I can't get anywhere with configuring the X Server. I am using an 
ELSA Gloria Synergy graphics card with an Optiquest Q71 Color monitor. 
ELSA Gloria-8 and ELSA Gloria 4. It said that I would have to load the 
xserver-s3 choice with either choice. I did, but the program now complains 
that it can't connect to the X Server. The same thing happens when I 
simply run "X". Should I have taken either of these choices? What is 
the procedure here?

- Ethernet card

I want to run DHCP client from my home system to 
connect to my cable modem. How can I tell if my system is recognizing the 
Ethernet card? I don't see it listed among the startup messages, unless it 
is buried in some obscure message. It is a Realtek RTL8029 Ethernet 
Adapter at IRQ 09, I/O address 18C0h - 18DFh. It all runs fine from 
Windows 98.

- DHCP client

The DHCP client software won't configure properly 
when it is installed. However, it doesn't tell me what went wrong. 
Where can I find this out?I realize I need to enter information 
about the DHCP server, which I do not have yet. Once I get it, where does 
it get entered?

Any help I can get on any of these topics would be 
terrific. Thank you!
- Jim

- Apply the attached diff to /usr/local/staroffice/bin/soffice:
 # patch /usr/local/staroffice/bin ~/soffice.diff
  (Assuming you saved 'soffice.diff' in your home directory)


  If you want to make the changes manually, that's fine too.  You
  should:
o Remove any dependency on positional parameters, such as $0.
  We will call 'soffice' not by itself, but as an argument
  to 'ld-linux.so.2'.  Therefore, all positional parameters
  will be off by one.

o Make /usr/local/glibc20 the first directory in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

o Modify the call to 'soffice.bin' ($sd_binary), so that it
  is an argument to /usr/local/glibc20/ld-linux.so.2


Unfortunately, StarOffice will come up complaining about not being
able to open the file /usr/local/staroffice/bin/soffice.bin, which is
now an argument to ld-linux.so.2.  The only way to fix this would be
to modify this version of ld-linux.so.2 so that it shifts arguments
in the argv[] table it passes to soffice.bin (i.e. the first argument
becomes argv[0], instead of argv[1]).  Not a terribly difficult task,
if anyone feels inclined.

Another approach is to start Soffice from within a slink chroot
environment, after mounting /home (from something like
localhost:/home, if exported).  (I.e. not remove the 'slink'
environment after installation).

Good luck!

You do NOT register www.linuxnewbie.com.  You register linuxnewbie.com.

names, like mail.brokersys.com, www.brokersys.com, and so forth, to
the real names.  However, there's nothing at all preventing you from
having multiple A records that resolve to the same address or even just
having a single A record to name www.linuxnewbie.com.  (There are even
circumstances under which the same name resolves to multiple IP addresses,
but I won't go into them, here.)

Also, it's possible to register a domain and have a zone file with no
addresses in it.  You might do this to park a domain.  (Or, you might
just have no zone file at all in that circumstance.)

If you can, please have your ISP help you set up your domain.  They've
likely done it a lot more than you ever will and they'll be able to make
sure everything is set up on your end (and theirs---they'll likely be
providing secondary name service for you) before you send the application
in to the NIC.  It shouldn't be too much trouble for them to fill in the
application for your domaind and to send you a properly formatted hosts
file for the domain you want to set up so that you can use it as a basis
for customization.  (I don't know anyone in the ISP business who has
written a DNS hosts file from scratch.  Everyone I know got their first
one from someone else and copies and modifies it to suit their changing
needs.)

One of the things that annoy us about some of our users is they
occasionally send incorrectly filled-in applications (if we run the
primary nameserver for a domain, we insist on being TPOC and we insist
that customers be all the other POC's for that is the intent of the NIC)
to the NIC and tell the NIC that we're providing name service for domains
that we've never heard of.  In any case, you WILL want to inform them if
you need their secondary name service.

Re: How to use Netscape mail w/local mail system?

Installed fetchmail to retrieve mail from my ISP and pass it to the above,

installed qpopper for POP3 to retrieve the above with netscape.


Told netscape my SMTP server is localhost,
  POP3 server is localhost,
  logon = my linux user name ,
  password = my linux logon password.

works fine so i also get any local system mail coming in ;0).

 fine), but Netscape doesn't seem to capable of doing this.

 In PreferencesMail  Newsgroups-Mail Servers I've selected Using

 says it needs to write lock files.) It suggests that I set the permission of
 that directory to 01777 (it's currently -rw-rw), but doing so (it
 becomes -rw-rw-rwT) does not correct the problem. It also says that an

 Well, the Release Notes don't cover this and I don't know what might

Anyhow, Emacs let's you achieve a very high degree of automtization of a lot
of menial tasks like indenting, switching windows and typing latex ...

IMHO Emacs is an integrated development environment which
let's you do your work a lot quicker than a number of other tools.  Also
you don't have to remember a lot of different (commandline) commands or 
have to think about how this program's GUI works opposed to that other

Yes, you can skip the make config step, but wouldn't you normally want to
change the answer to at least one of the questions?

(Unless you are upgrading, of course.)

Note that once you've done make config once, it's a lot easier to do it
again because the defaults it gives you are your previous answers. So you
just need to hit Enter until you get to the thing you want to change,
change that single one, and continue with Enter until it's finished.
