Re: Información sobre este sistema
El Mon, Apr 26, 1999, Rudolf Federisk... He leido una nota en un diario argentino sobre las bondades de este sistema y es mi intención en conocerlo. Les ruego me indicquen de donde lo puedo bajar y la manera de instalarlo. Hola, puedes empezar por ladirección de LuCAS (Linux documentation project en CAStellano), en la dirección http://lucas.hispalinux.es/. Desde allí tendrás acceso a documentos de iniciación, y muchos más. La forma más sencilla de obtener una _distribución_ en CD de Linux (hay varias, una es Debian), es en las librerías, con alguna revista de informática que la regale. También puedes comprarla, si consigues encontrarla en tiendas con sección de informática (quizás más fácil en grandes centros comerciales). O, a través de internet, hay casas comerciales que te la venden. El precio es más que módico, comparado con W$, y teniendo en cuenta que no solo se incluye el s.o. en sí, sino que se acompaña de muchísimos paquetes de software de todo tipo (la última versión de Debian, más de 2000), Además de lo que puedas bajarte de la red. Es decir, menos de 4000 ptas (+/- 25$). Dos direccionesde lasposibles sonI+D Agora http://www.id-agora.com, en españa, y otra es Datom http://www.datom.de/debian, en alemania. En la página de Debian http://www.es.debian.org/ puedes encontrar una lista más completa.

Kernel compilado :-)
Hola todos! Gracias a Horacio por su ayuda, ya logre compilar mi kernel. Como no se mucho aun del asunto, quisiera consultar con ustedes algunas dudas: Boot sector 512 bytes Setup is 3416 bytes System is 525 Kb Esta bien? O le monte muchas cosas? - La resolución de la consola se ha rebajado :-( Antes usaba el modo 0122, ahora esperaba ver el tan susodicho pinguinito que todo el mundo ama, pero resulta que mas bien los modos se acortaron a solo 8. Why??? - No se conecta! :´( despues de tanto sufrir, ahora no se conecta! el modem se detecta al inicio, el puerto esta... todo bien pero nada... pon provider... y hasta alli llega. Y dos problemillas con las X que vienen desde antes: - El startx se daño. Ya no sirve, tengo que iniciar el modo grafico con xinit. El otro da algo como acces denied. - Al fin logro altas resoluciones. Pero como cambio la profundidad del color? Gracias a todos! Adrian E. Moya

Re: Duda sobre dependencias

Por supuesto. Sería algo así como una estafa que algún paquete de Debian 2.1 dependiera de una biblioteca que solamente esté en Debian 2.0. Ahora la pregunta clave... ¿cabe la posibilidad de que alguno de esos paquetes funcione con versiones anteriores de las dependencias? Si te refieres a que si puedes recompilarlo en tu sistema para que no dependa de una biblioteca que ni tienes ni quieres instalar, la respuesta es que sí, en general. Por lo que he visto, puede que sí, siempre y cuando uno compile ese paquete para depender de esas versiones anteriores, y siempre y cuando el código fuente no requiera de esa versión posterior de las librerías. ¿Me equivoco en algo? Es que si no me equivoco, dejaré de bajarme miles de .deb cuando quiero actualizar un programa, y me bajaré sólo el fuente parcheado para Debian y lo compilaré en mi sistema. La cosa estaría en ver si el conjunto de todos los fuentes parcheados que piensas bajarte ocupa más o menos que los nuevos .deb y las nuevas bibliotecas.

Re: Copying system to another disk
I just tried doing this, and ran into an interesting problem. I think that it had to do with copying /lib over, but when it finished untarring the new system, it just gave me a login prompt. I logged in, got the message of the day, told me I had no mail, and then gave me the login prompt. when I tried to reboot with ctrl-alt-delete it asked for the administrator password for maintenance, which didn't seem to work.

adding new libs (.a) to debian (gnome xml)
I tried to add the gnome_xml libs to debian. Due to the fact that i couldnt find a .deb I compiled the package, did make install which copied the said libs to /usr/local/libs. I then added the directory to /etc/ld.so.conf (i hope i'm not getting the file name wrong) and then ran ldconfig. Then when i tried to compile another package which tried to link against the xml libs (gnome_print) i got an answear somthing like: error with -lxml no such library (I don't remember the exactly how it was writen).

Re: Lothar project
hi i dont think this kind of tool should be X oriented. At least we should have a console app for people who dont want to run X. it's probably easy to rip code from this project to start and then create a nice console interface. then if needed, we should create a nice gui (gnome or kde), but i think this tool is usefull at the first time of a debian install. So dont think X will be installed and maybe a X install app is too much for our needs. it's just my opinion, but the idea of lothar is great :).

A few questions
First off. Why cant I send mail to the debian list when I'm logged on as root. I get all my messsages back. Hey give some message about not sending mail as root. The message doesnt show up in the list. (Using my hotmail account to send this) should I just use my hotmail account to send and my ISP account to recieve? Second. Why can t I open my cdrom when enter KDE. I've tried to force software eject it and it says the device is busy, even if there isnt a cd in the drive. I have to exit X then put in the cd, then startx X again. Its a bit annoying, especially if I am downloading a huge file, so I have to either suffer without the cdrom and not get any work done, or stop the download. 3rd. Anyone know of some good text to speech software thats easy to use? I just need to be able to type something in and have it say it to me, and I need to be able to record the sound. I'm looking for something along the lines of the MS speech SDK stuff. Thanks in advance, all Jesse Lee ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com

Testing sub directories using perl AGAIN

All the answers used the idea to compare the string, but what about the following case: dir1 = /www/info/world; dir2 = /www/info/world/usa/../../../. Now, clearly dir1 is a sub directory of dir2. So how do I test. Since the security is a big concern of us, we cannot afford the case like above. Thanks.

My routing table was set up correctly, and I watched the tcpdump on each device to find that data was being sent and received, but just not finalized. The initiating program didn't receive packets...they seemed to disappear somewhere between the modem device and the eql device. Well, since I had done everything right, as according to documentation and the advice of a friend, we decided to go back to the 2.0.36 kernel. Lo-and-behold, it worked! After establishing a stable eql environment, I applied the firewall and masquerading rules to make the connection LAN accessible. Mission accomplished. The short and long of it, eql on kernels newer than 2.0.36 should be assumed to be broken until further notice. I will be reporting the bug to the tracker sometime tomorrow morning.

Benoit Joly You can not prevent your system from being scanned, all you can do is control what is learned from the scan. It is not a crime, as far as I know, to simply attempt connections to a machine on the public internet. First thing I would do is only have ONE machine exposed directly to the internet. Use this machine as a firewall/gateway for all the other machines. Turn off all services on this machine that you are not using. Carefuly plan and put into place a set of packet forwarding / masquerading rules for traffic between your internal protected network and the public internet. For services that you wish to provide to outside hosts, make a separate network different from the internal network. This is commonly called a DMZ in network documents. So your internet firewall / gateway will probably have THREE interfaces if you wish to provide public access to some services: 1. The interface to the external internet. 2. The interface to the private local network. 3. The interface to the internal network with public services (www, ftp, mail, news, etc.) The whole world can access certain ports in your public access net ( 80, 21, 23, 25, 119, etc) Nobody in the outside world has direct access to your internal net. Nobody on the public access net has access to your internal net and your internal net has access to everything. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Re: Hit by virus !? Help, please...
Wasn't there a 'how to make a machine really secure' thread on this list a little while back (probably around the last time one of these data viruses exploded)? If I remember correctly suggestions started with using 'tripwire' software, progressed through not using any floppies at all, then disconnecting from any network access, and ended up with a linux box encased in concrete in a secret underground bunker with automatic sentries, and switched off. The point is that it is impossible to completely protect your computer from some sort of 'foreign' interference without rendering it useless. Thus the sensible thing to do is to make regular back-ups, and also to have some way of detecting when your integrity has been compromised (excuse the lapse into pseudo-military jargon, I've been watching too many war movies on the news), so that you don't back up corrupted data over older but intact data if you use incremental back-up. Having said all that, I'm absolutely useless at keeping backups, so I'm probably heading for a complete loss of data. Rich Helge Hafting wrote: I'm curious about virii and Linux... Am I wrong to assume that Linux is not immune to virii (I don't even know if virii is a word - but it just sounds cool :) ? Obviously the security features of Linux can prevent some virii from affecting certain files on your system... but what about the boot sector? And what if you happen to be su'd or logged in as root when you get (and heaven forbid) execute an infected program? Viruses activate when infected files or bootsectors are executed. Some dos viruses also take over certain system calls. Viruses can be written for linux, but it haven't happened yet as far as I know. Dos/windows viruses are usually incompatible and can't work with linux, just as dos programs don't run in linux (unless a suitable emulator is used). So a linux-only machine is very safe. It can be vulnerable to booting with a boot-virus infected diskette in the drive, because such a thing may obliterate the harddisk before linux is loaded. These viruses will usually only mess with lilo though, possibly making the machine unbootable but no damaged files. These viruses may install their own int 13 handler (bios disk access) but linux doesn't use that after the kernel is loaded, so it is effectively isolated. dos-Viruses that affect files doesn't understand ext2 or the various linux executable formats, so no danger there. The only way to activate such a virus is by running some dos program in an emulator. The emulator will stop the virus from obliterating the disk (i.e. dos fdisk activities don't work in linux) The virus will only be able to mess with files that the user is allowed to mess with, and it won't find dos/windows executables among those. It can only spread to other dos files. It may crash the dos emulator only, not linux. A dual-boot system is worse. The viruses can do anything when dos/windows is running, but they don't understand ext2. Infection can spread to the boot sector of the linux partition, not the files. Of course the virus may do damage enough by interpreting the ext2 partition as a FAT partition and write to it in this manner. Virus writers don't bother testing for such mistakes. Also, overwriting random disk sectors is a common way to to damage when the virus pull the trigger. If you want a real safe machine, make it linux only. No dos partition, no dos emulator. And set it up so it won't try booting from the floppy drive. (You can always change that back if you ever need to boot a floppy.) Such a machine will be immune until a linux virus is written. And a linux virus wouldn't be able to do much damage other than destroying the user's personal files. Helge Hafting -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

I don't think that you can use fetchmail to do exactly what you want, but you may solve your overall problem by doing the following: Run fetchmail as a background deamon with the '-k' for keep option normally. Periodically, perhaps using cron, run fetchmail with the '-F' for flush option. Obviously, you should time this so that it doesn't interfere with your mobile fetchmailing. (this should mean that your debian box gets your mail, but leaves it on the POP server marked as read for you to fetch with the CE thing, untill the '-F' fetchmail is run, which deletes all the read messages from the POP server).

(I think that by default you will have the above line, but with '-r'
instead of '-h').
This works for me, but I don't use xdm, so I cannot comment on whether
it traps ctrlaltdel or not. If it does then that is just another
reason why, IMHO, xdm is pants.

I have created the user, and logging in as shutdown from a non-X

problems.
I have made the user shutdown's shell a script which calls the
shutdown command. However xdm does not seem to run this script.
Is the whole idea a bad one? If not, what am I doing wrong.

Real need for upgrades?
Hi, I started using Debian 1.3 for a short while, a few months later 2.0 came out, so I ordered it, and made a reinstall; now I'm waiting for 2.1 to arrive (still... damn post!), and I'll try not to reinstall, just to upgrade (that's the way it should be, right?). As I see it, releasing new versions can take place more than twice a year. While ppl are waiting for the next official release, they keep gradually upgrading their systems from the ftp server, so by the time the new release is official, they already have their systems greatly upgraded but they still re-upgrade ... and with some packages they downgrade since they already installed from the version after next. Is it all that necessary? The same goes for new kernel releases. While I see some using the very latest Linux kernels (2.2.x), others still use older versions of the kernel (2.0.2x) and they seem to be quite happy with them. Same goes for this: unless there is a specific new feature (module) in a newer kernel version, is there much point in upgrading it? With M$, OS or applications upgrades were, most times, a matter of $$$, which I hated; but this is obviously not the case here. Is there any pointer where to see what the differences from one distribution release to another are? and for kernels?

If it does then that is just another reason why, IMHO, xdm is pants. CTRL-ALT-DEL does nothing in xdm. However you can do CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch to a text console and immediately do CTRL-ALT-DEL to shut down (assuning it is set up as Richard describes) . So someone in Dave's position (like me) can tell their non-root users to hold down CTRL and ALT and press DEL and F1 in succession. Alternatively you can install KDE and you will find that its login manager, kdm, has a little shutdown the machine menu. In either case, make sure they know to wait for the power down or system halted message before they hit the power off switch. HTH! Hugh == Hugh C.

Solved! (?) Re: lilo: 'Kernel /vmlinuz is too big'
Hi gang! Got the 586 kernel running! I don't know why. I did make bzlilo instead of make bzImage, and it failed with the same error message from lilo in the second-to-last message. But then I copied the bzImage from that compile by hand to /, ran lilo by hand, and bingo. Go figure. So I'm no wiser, but quite thrilled with how many people pitched in to try and help me out.

Problems playing mp3's under potato
Hello, I have a potato system that I update regularly. Recently I put in a custom 2.2.5 kernel to support my soundblaster 16. This is whats is causing me problems. If I cat foo.au /dev/audio it works correctly. However once if I try to use x11amp or splay or anyone of the other mp3 players I get no audio. Has anyone seen anything like this? I have looked through the bug lists and monitored the list and have seen no-one with similar problems. Thanks, Charles Suprin
