RE: Pregunta sobre particiones.
Cuando montas sobre un cierto directorio, lo que en un principio tenias por debajo deja de ser accesible, pero no se pierdes, vuelves a tener acceso una vez que lo desmontes. Eso si, sigue ocupando espacio, y el problema sigue existiendo. Lo que debes hacer es copiar lo que tienes en /usr/local actual a la raiz de la nueva particion manteniendo la extructura. Para ello tendras que montar la nueva particion en un directorio temporal (habitualmente se utiliza /mnt) y copiar teniendo en cuenta dos cosas: 1) Cuando se copia de una particion a otra, se crean nuevos ficheros, por tanto las fechas cambiara inremediablemente. segurmanete no te su pondra ningun problema, pero es bueno tenerlo en cuenta. 2) Usar cp: a) Posiblemente (seguramente) perderas la informacion de usuario y grupo de los ficheros (todos pasaran a ser de root) y esto si que puede suponer un problema segun que aplicaciones. b) La utilización de cp tambien proboca la perdida de hardlinks (un solo fichero con mas de un nombre o path). Puede traer problemas de perdida inecesaria de espacio, e incluso problemas en ciertas aplicaciones que creen que modifican el mismo fichero.

RE: instalar debian en 15 ordenadores
Ye he llegado a instalar 40 slackware sin servidores iniciales, el sistema tambien se debe poder aplicar a debians Haces una instalacion normal con un ordenador con CD. Luego botando con el disco de instalacion, creas una copia exacta del sistema 'cerrado' (solo montado, si utilizarlo como /) volcandola en otra particion del disco. Reinicias este sistema tal cual. Exportaras por nfs la imagen para utilizarla en los otros ordenadores a fin de crear clones de la primera instalación. A parte de la copia, deberas realizar pequeñas tareas de personalizacion de los clones (cambiar su IP, nombre, etc.) automatizables mediante scripts. Tansolo he explicado la idea, la verdad es que requiere un poco de experiencia en administracion para resolver ciertos problemas que surgen durante el proceso.

Eso seria suficiente. En el resto de los equipos solo tendrias que instalar el sistema base desde disquette (unod 4 o 5 discos creo) y terminar de instalar el sistema a traves de nfs. Con los dos disquetes básicos, ya se puede acceder a un server que exporte por nfs, o mejor todavía, por ftp. Si vas a instalar todos los equipos a la vez, y tienes sitio, vuelca el primer CD, si es la 2.1, en el disco duro y realiza la instalación por ftp. Harás las instalaciones mucho más rápido que si lo haces por NFS y utilizando solo el CDROM. Leer de CdRom puede llegar a ser una autentica tortura ... El problema es la falta de automatización del proceso intermedio, donde nos ponemos a elegir los modulos que queremos que lleve la instalación. Esta parte es la que nos produce problemas durante las instalaciones masivas. Si alguien sabe como automatizarlo, seguro que sería un comentario muy bien recibido. Una vez que tienes una instalación 'personalizada', es decir, con los programas que crees necesarios para tí, puedes hacer utilizar estas opciones: dpkg --get-selections [pattern ...] get list of selections to stdout dpkg --set-selections set package selections from stdin Con estas opciones, podrías 'pasar' de tener que elegir de nuevo todos los paquetes que te has molestado en seleccionar durante la instalación del primer equipo, el que luego hará de server durante la instalación. De esa manera, te ahorrarías el tener que 'reseleccionar' todos los paquetes en cada nuevo equipo. Aparte de eso, otra opción que agradecerás será la de crearte tus propios kernel's a la medida de los equipos de que dispongas, todo ello en formato *.deb, de manera que instalar un nuevo kernel consistirá en un simple 'dpkg -i nuevo-kernel.deb' Eso lo haces con la herramienta 'make-kpkg'. = crear-kernel.sh #!/bin/bash VERSION=luis.686.19990506 # Como root, nos vamos al directorio de las fuentes... cd /usr/src/linux # Arrancamos el programa de selección de opciones make menuconfig # Una vez elegidas las opciones que necesitemos, nos preparamos... make-kpkg clean # Ahora, nos fabricamos el paquete *.deb (Tener en cuenta el numero de # version) # Empaqueto las fuentes en formato deb make-kpkg --revision=$VERSION kernel_source # Preparo las cabeceras por si hicieran falta... make-kpkg --revision=$VERSION kernel_headers # El nuevo kernel, listo para instalar make-kpkg --revision=$VERSION kernel_image # Para tener la doc disponible tambien... make-kpkg --revision=$VERSION kernel_doc # Si no fuesemos root, la orden anterior se lanza como: # 'fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=$VERSION kernel_image' #Ahora, lo único que nos quedaria, seria el instalarlo... # dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_arch.deb == Con lo anterior, el proceso de creación de los kernel, para los equipos que quieras, es un juego de niños :-) Bueno, aquí me paro.

RE: Forma correcta de lanzar un proceso como usuario automaticamente
Puedes hacer que lo lance init, el proceso encargado de las inicializaciones. Este se configura mediante el fichero /etc/inittab, hay encontraras claros ejemplos de como hacerlo, tambien tienes paginas man sobre init y inittab. que te explican el formato del fichero. Quizas sea más elegante integrarlo en el sistema de inicializaciones system V que utiliza debian, veras ejemplos en el directorio /etc/init.d y rc.* Para escoger con que usuario se debe lanzar un procesos, yo se dos formas: a) Puedes hacer su usuario -c comando, su no pregunta password a root por razones odbias b) Declarar el fichero como SETUID. Un ejecutable marcado como setuid se ejecuta directamente como del usuario propietario sin preguntar password ni a root ni a nadie, tambien existe SETGID. Un ejemplo clasico de SETUID es passwd, este debe tocar un fichero /etc/passwd o /etc/shadow protegido para cambiar el password del usuario. El flag de SETUID o SETGID se guarda con las protecciones de fichero y se modifica con chmod. Se indica con una s en donde normalmente se coloca un x. p.e: wrs--x--x /bin/passwd Espero haber solucionado tus duda.

Pues ya he instalado slink en varios ordenadores y en todos parece funcionar bien el reloj, excepto en mi portatil (toshiba 4010CDS). Cada vez que arranco en debian, la fecha aparece aleatoriamente entre 5 años antes o después de la fecha verdadera. Siempre pense que debia ser que la pila del reloj estaba gastada (a pesar de que el ordenador solo tiene 3 meses y ha dado ese problema desde el primer dia). Solucioné el problema usando rdate, cuando estoy conectado a la internet en la Universidad, pero en casa tenia siempre que ajustar la fecha manualmente cada vez que lo enciendo. A raiz del mensaje de Xose Manoel, fui a ver que pasaba en windows 98 (que hasta entonces estaba prácticamente virgen!) y ahí no aparecia el error. Eliminé aquello del ajuste de tiempo del hwclock.sh y ahora funciona bien! Me pregunto si será porque un dia (recien instale slink) cambie la fecha para el año 2000 para ensayar un script y esto puede haber dejado valores errados en el /etc/adjtime que se propagaron desde entonces? Concuerdo con Xose Manoel que ese script hwclock.sh es peligroso y de todas formas poco útil. Jaime

Estoy de acuerdo que la inmensa mayoría de los clientes utilizan Windows y que de esta manera ustedes rebajan mucho los costes al instalar directamente de fábrica Windows en el disco duro. *Pero* debería existir alguna opción para los clientes que no usen Windows. Además, aún en el caso de querer usar Windows, yo ya compré (y registré) mi versión de Windows95 en el pasado. La licencia de ese software me permite usarlo en el nuevo portátil ya que no lo uso en ningún otro. ¿Cómo es posible entonces que una empresa que fabrica *hardware* no pueda vender ese *hardware* si no es acompañado de un software *determinado*? ¿Cómo es posible que no haya opción a *elegir*?

Bueno, yo soy ese usuario que comentas. Y no me duele admitir que desconozco las interioridades del kernel. ¿Quien puede decir que conozca a fondo lo que pasa dentro del kernel? Lo que sí que me he leído es el funcionamiento del `hwclock'. Y más o menos he entendido como funciona este programa y lo que es más importante como funciona su opción de `--adjust'. A mi una diferencia de segundos no me preocupa. He de ser sincero, pero lo que si me preocupa son atrasos de horas o minutos, y esto estaba pasando en mi sistema. Quiero decir que arrancaba el ordenador, y cuando se me daba por mirar la hora, esta estaba atrasada en minutos con respecto a la real. No había tocado nada en mi sistema, ni en la CMOS, ¿quien podría ser el culpable? Imagino que la culpa la tendrá el `hwclock'. Ahora al arrancarse se ejecutan varios comandos: hwclock --adjust (...) hwclock --systohc Es normal que le eche la culpa a alguno de esos. En teoría esto debería funcionar de maravilla, pero la realidad puede ser muy distinta. Lo curioso es que si ejecuto estos comandos en mi terminal, la hora no sufre variación y todo parece funcionar bien: hwclock --adjust hwclock --hctosys hwclock --systohc A lo mejor mi problema es que mi fichero `/etc/adjtime' era incorrecto. Puede que sí porque nunca había puesto en hora el reloj en mi sistema. Pero pienso que el `hwclock' debería ser inteligente y si no existe este fichero pues no hacer nada. Sea lo que sea, no echo la culpa a nada, pero pienso que de incluir un script que hace cambios en la hora del sistema (escribe en la CMOS) se debería de informar explícitamente al usuario y avisar de lo que hay que hacer para configurar correctametne la hora del sistema.

Joshua If you install Debian on one drive, data on the other drive is unlikely to be affected adversely, I suspect you have more data than you really want to put on floppies. However, Assuming your files are on MS DOS file system, you could use pkzip to put them on a sequence of floppies. You will be able to read MS DOS, Vfat, and NT file systems from Linux if support for these is in your kernel. The install kernels usually have MSDOS file system support, but I don't think the will have NT or Vfat (wind 95 32 bit fs) support. So I do not know whether you will be able to get to your files with the kernel that comes on your CD. This is a wonderful bunch of men and women who provide help on this list.

Re: SV: Getting there
Hi, Except for people who try to understand the workings of computers, most computer users treat them as a tool. They learn how to use their applications, maybe to only 1/10th of capability, but enough for what they want to do. How many car drivers will do a full overhaul on the engine, or replace brake linings, or even a do a grease and oil change ? When the support technician walks through the door, they know all their computer problems will be over. A tweek here, hammer there, install a thingy, a careful explanation of how to avoid the problem in the future. Pay the technician heaps of money and everybodies happy. People want to walk into a shop, see a lovely Linux box, buy it, take it home and use it. With a unix box they can't break the operating system, they just install and use their applications, great. They don't care how the propellers go round, just that they don't crash. If they want to fiddle, fine, there's enough complexity in there to keep a geek happy for ages. Have a technician come and install a new peripheral device, costs an extra $50, but its going to work. An annual service to update the kernel, utilities or applications, costs $100. Good investment.

This is why: to enable it to spread and become popular among every-day-users, Linux will _need_ more userfriendliness, (idiot-safe-ness, we call it in Denmark), and to develop and grow and become better, faster, easier, it needs the tweaking and all the nerds and programmers and that sort of folks, who are making things work. -- Cheers, Colin Tree

Alternatively, you could do one or more of the following: 1) If you have network storage somewhere, ftp (or etc) the files to the network. 2) Borrow, buy, etc a zip drive, or jaz, or etc. and copy the files there. 3) Temporarily put in another hard drive (cheapie or free 200MB drive from a garage sale, flea market, etc) and copy the files there; just make sure to test the retrievability of the files before committing yourself to wiping the original. 4) Leave one drive (permanantly?) as Windows, and the other as Linux. 5) Or, as you say, put linux on one drive for now, later copy the files to it and then convert the other drive.

I think, because you can do harm (conflicts in the selection) if you use it after having selected/deselected packages on your own. As somewhat of a minimalist, I felt that it installed way too much, even with the choices that sounded small. The first thing I did was go into dselect and choose what to delete. I have done subsequent installs the old way, by using dselect, although with the number of packages growing the way it is, this is probably a bit intimidating for a newbie.

Re: I need some info/piece of mind before installing linux
Mounting an MS-DOS filesystem should work - I was doing that until I realised you could do VFAT. You'll just be without your long filenames. There is a Windows 'emulator' called WINE for Linux but it's not 100% reliable and is still listed as a developer's-only alpha release to the best of my knowledge. I believe there is a UNIX win emulator called WAPI, but it's commercial and I don't know how much it would cost. Wahoo!

Joshua If you install Debian on one drive, data on the other drive is unlikely to be affected adversely, I suspect you have more data than you really want to put on floppies. However, Assuming your files are on MS DOS file system, you could use pkzip to put them on a sequence of floppies. You will be able to read MS DOS, Vfat, and NT file systems from Linux if support for these is in your kernel. The install kernels usually have MSDOS file system support, but I don't think the will have NT or Vfat (wind 95 32 bit fs) support. So I do not know whether you will be able to get to your files with the kernel that comes on your CD. This is a wonderful bunch of men and women who provide help on this list.

Package upgrade classes in dselect
Hi, one thing I would like to see is some kind of warning when a package that can be upgraded using dselect if the upgrade means the software needs to be majorly reconfigured after the upgrade. An example would be if for instance program-x could be upgraded and /etc/program-x.conf would have to be replaced with a new one with new syntax. I would like to know this *before* I did the upgrade since this could mean a lot of work. I know I cold go check doc's and changelogs before doing the upgrade, but one of the wonders of Debian is that you safely can upgrade most software without having to this. The only shortcoming of dselect is just the situation I have described here. I do not know how this could be done, but I would avoid some problems I have had in the past because packages have been upgraded and syntax or placement of configurations files has changes drastically. I am *not* talking about dselect upgrades actually being broken or bad, only that they may take more time than it initially looked like they would. Maybe I even have overlooked an option where I would be able to see this in advance? Am I being too demanding? It is just an idea! :) --- Regards, Christian Dysthe Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~cdysthe ICQ 3945810 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux --- Clones are people two
Slink = Potato breaks Dosemu?
After upgrading to Potato and Dosemu 0.98.1-7, the latter fails with the following message: ERROR: slang_keyb_close(): failed to restore keyboard termios settings! This happens when starting from the console or under X. The only change was the upgrade itself and the updating of the new conf file with my old settings, which worked all right on my Slink system (except for a cursor that would vanish whenever I started an IBM host session on the Passport package--but that's another story).

RE: Package upgrade classes in dselect - It happened again!
Hi, too funny! Right after I posted this I upgraded to exim 3.02. AFTER the upgrade dselect gave me this message: Important! Exim configuration file format has changed! == Your old configuration file has been renamed to /etc/exim.conf-pre-v3. An automatic conversion script has been used to write a new /etc/exim.conf for you. However, this does not fix everything, and you should check it is OK. Because a wrongly configured mailer can cause serious problems, exim is now disabled! When you want to re-enable it, you should do eximconfig -i. I now have serious problems. exim won't work with fetcmail (outgoing and local mail works). If I had known this about the exim upgrade, I would have waited and planned this upgrade. This illustrates my earlier described problem perfectly! :) On 25-Jun-99 Christian Dysthe wrote: Hi, one thing I would like to see is some kind of warning when a package that can be upgraded using dselect if the upgrade means the software needs to be majorly reconfigured after the upgrade.

Potato on ThinkPad 600E
Hi *, I'm trying to get all the features of a ThinkPad 600E to work with Debian potato. What I have: - all my PCMCIA-cards (xircom, fritz, adaptec) work - sound (cs4232) works - X (neomagic, 16bit) works What I want: - serial interface is detected but cannot be used - irda-port?! - internal modem - sound does not load automatically - I cannot have pci-support in the kernel when I want to use my PCMCIA-cards (I installed RH on another partition and their kernel uses pci-support _and_ PCMCIA works - at least with the notebook of my colleague) I have nearly all the information you can get from the web concerning ThinkPads. What I need is the address of somebody who knows how the thing internally works - especially as I have the impression that configurations under windows (I have that on one partition) have some effects on the linux-installation on my other partition. What I really don't understand is, why the serial port does not work. When will the first ThinkPads with preinstalled Linux be available from IBM? By Töns -- Linux. The dot in /.
Re: still configuring PPP :-(
Hi Isabelle I had this error. I did not have the last line of my negotiation right. You will need to know what your isp expects to be told to start the negotiation to set up a ppp connection. If the ISP isn't sent the signal to commence negotiating, your ppp thinks the ISP isn't 8 bit clean, and gives up. It looks like you are very close. You will need to find some terminal emulation and talk to the isp directly to find what it expects. I had a copy of Liux Kermit stashed in my files, so I used that have that ftp site handy.

samba/win95 network over ip-masquerading
I'm running Debian/Linux potato kernel 2.2.10 with Samba 2.0.4b and I'm
trying to setup a Linux box to masquerade and allow browsing across the
Linux box. Currently, IP Masquerading is working and I'm using the default
Debian auto-configuration. More specifically, I want the machines on the
local network to see and be able to access the machines on the outside
network and vice-versa. And, if possible I'd like the Linux box to only be
seen/accessible by the local network (not as important).
Here's the situation: There are 3 win95 machines behind the Linux box and a
WINS server on the outside, which I'm not in control of. Right now the
local network is 192.168.1.x on eth0 and the outside is 192.168.100.x on
eth1 (which will be changed to a non-private IP in the future).
I've tried setting up the Linux box as a WINS server and having the local
machines point to it, but then there is no link to the outside machines. If
the local machines point to the outside WINS server, nothing seems to work.
If I telnet into the Linux box, smbclient -L {machine} is able to locate the
clients without any problems or help from DNS, yet the machines don't report
a browse list containing machines from the other network.
---
Just recently I changed the firewall rules so the default policy is ACCEPT
for input, output, and forward and I deleted the DENY rule from the input
and output chains just to make things a little easier. Now, the local
machines are set to the WINS server on the outside network and are able to
browse and connect to those machines + the inside machines. So, one
direction is working. Now, how can I get it to work the other way?
I think it should be possible because I think the WINS server stores the IP
and port of the clients machines, thus is the Linux ip masq box manipulated
the WINS connections from the inside to the outside network so that the
machine was the Linux box outside IP and changed the ports, everything
should work fine. --- do I need more MASQ/firewall rules?
What can I do?
Thanks,
-Paul

Paralell Port problems
Hi everyone! My problem is that I have a Linux computer without CD, and a Lost98 with a 32x. I don't want to change anything in the hardware config, so I tried to connect the 2 computers with FastLinx (a DOS program to connect 2 computers via COM or LPT). It worked fine until I used it on the Linux machine on a Dos partition (I booted DOS too). Then I managed to set up Dosemu 0.98 to enable raw LPT access. Since then I can't connect the two computers. Not even if I am in DOS mode. What did I do wrong? Algernon NG of The MadHouse Project email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] home: http://w3.swi.hu/paradise/

Splitting swap onto two hard drives
Frankie writes: What I am about to say probably isn't appropriate to a newbie, but depending on your competence it may be useful, or you may remember this a few months down the line... In my experience this seems to speed up my computer by about 40 to 50% when I am running lots of apps at once. In that case you should probably run out and buy yourself more RAM. If you are *so* dependent on swapping, you do need more memory. techie bit if you don't understand the meaing of the above, you probably shouldn't read this next paragraph :-P If you split linux over the two harddrives, then the hard disk access will be faster, because you are reading from two at once. One way to achieve this is to split your swap partition over two harddrives, and set them with equal priority. /techie bit Well, technically speaking you cannot split you swap partition over two hard drives, but you can have two swap partitions on different hard drives -- that's probably what you meant. Nit-picking aside, the answer to whether you'll get faster disk access by doing this is the usual one: it depends. Generally it depends on your hard disks controller(s) and the way they are set up. To give an example, I believe that two IDE hard drives set up as a master and a slave on a single IDE controller cannot be accessed simultaneously and thus there is no point in creating two swap partitions. There is much more interesting and detailed information in Multi-Disk-HOWTO which can be found in the usual places. Kaa ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
