Re: Imprimir
Bueno: Por lo que parce solo tienes insalada la impresora lp, y la tienes instalada como postscript. Para poder imprimir archivos de texto plano directamente tienes que creear una impresora de texto plano, mas o menos en la mismo forma en que creaste la primera (modificar /etc/printcap y demas.) Algunas veces la impresora no se activa automaticamente, por lo que es necesario ejecutar lpc (como root), y activarla manualmente. Para imprimir los archivos de texto en tu impresora actual necesitas un filtro universal, estilo a2ps o magicfilter.

Cron: daemon.log grep mail to root
Hi, I'm a newbie, butI need to set up cron to grep the auth attempts from /var/log/daemon.log and mail me (root) the results daily. Can anyone suggest a means of doing this? As it stands, it only logs weekly. As well, if there is anyone who can point me to some good info on using cron effectively, I would appreciate it. Thanks, bw.

Jonas (I have a foggy idea what this message means but don't know how Jonas to repair it.) The System.map is generated when a kernel is compiled. It can be found in the /usr/src/linux-x.y.z assuming that the kernel sources are in that directory. This file contains debugging symbol information that can be useful if and when the kernel crashes. If you are compiling the kernel by hand, then you need to copy the System.map from that directory into /boot right after the kernel has been compiled.

Environment Variable weirdness
(1) Running Debian 2.1, I noticed sth odd about a couple of environment variables (I am running XFree-3.3.3.1-2).

Same thing for the MACHTYPE env variable : MACHTYPE=i386 Why do these variables refer to i386 when the arch command displays the correct output : @phoenix:[/home/ssahmed] arch i686 (2) The other thing is that the DISPLAY env variable is set to unix:0.0. My question is : shouldn't this variable be of the form $HOSTNAME:0.0 ? So why is set to unix:0.0 ? And how do I change this env variable on a global basis (ie for all users) ?

Apache segfaulting upon perl module load
I'm having a strange problem where apache is segfaulting when I start it. The only time I get the segfault is when DynaLoader.pm loads an .so file, for example, DBI.so, resulting from use DBI or use Apache::DBI in startup.pl. But use Apache::Status, resulting in loads of Request.so, et al, also causes the segfault. I'm running Debian Linux, Slink, kernel 2.0.36. The relevant Debian packages are: apache-1.3.9-8 libapache-mod-perl-1.21-5 libc6-2.1.2-5 libdbi-perl_1.12-1 (that's where the DBI.so comes from) I've tried compiling and using the packages from CPAN also, but get the same thing. I don't feel at this point it's the .so files themselves, but a problem with apache or mod-perl. I should mention, though, that this problem seemed to go away Friday upon an Apache reinstall, only to start recurring, which made me suspect hardware problems. Memory tests show nothing, though, and the problem is consistent and isolated to this situation. Anyone else have problems with this configuration or have any clue where to look next? TIA.

I haven't seen this in RedHat. AFAIK, it's a feature of most modern Unicies. It's not publicized much, because when it's needed it's just used for the most part. If you do socket programming, your reference work will probably mention them (Programming Perl does, for one) Now for a networked system, you'd have to change the DISPLAY env var to allow remote X clients to display locally, right ? Technically yes, but not the way you're thinking. When you connect to a remote machine using telnet, DISPLAY is usually initially unset (when it's not, it's almost always initialized to the proper value). So you'd set it manually to point to your machine. When you connect via SSH with the proper X forwarding options, it'll automatically set the DISPLAY variable to the proper value to securely forward the connection. If you change it to what you'd use under telnet, you'll lose the security. If the machine you're connecting to is named foobar, the variable will probably look something like 'foobar:10.0' (instead of 'yourmachine.example.com:0.0' as with telnet) On your local machine, you'd still use unix domain sockets like you always had. - -- finger for PGP public key. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN/K82b7M/9WKZLW5AQGFLwP+MR+FLWMBAfzbT4n2Fqza5Hnwau5MltO/ n+YidQiyX0vZc4a2uBIL1xRqMLpdxQ/iO1ZcPyJUBaYLohz7FSYbMfZC+93bzxz8 qndA6rY+/1/4AbSlmmvK5Y53BueQdWOWjK9JPl3oDpNuzaKeZKFGWuK/rhzf1tlt jm126m6Twdk= =YT1f -END PGP SIGNATURE-

dynamic IP and exim config (different from LG #43)
Greetings,
I have been tinkering with a different way of setting up
exim/fetchmail/mutt so that I can get mail on a dynamically assigned IP
but still act like a static email address.
I have [EMAIL PROTECTED] as my ISP assigned email address. I have also set
up exim to think that my personal machine is eou.edu ( If I understand
the setup ). I run fetchmail to retrieve my mail and use mutt to read
it.
Appended are the conf files for exim and fetchmail. I like how it
behaves except in one respect, I can't send mail to other users of the
domain eou.edu because exim thinks that is localhost, other wise mail
goes out just fine ( for example this message). Can anybody tell
me a way to get exim to pass any locally unqualified address ( ie. no
account on my machine ) to eou.edu ( the real one) automatically?
I have read the article in Linux Gazzette #43 and tried it but it didn't
offer the same degree of transparency that I am attempting. I have also
attempted to read through the exim docs but overwhelmed with the amount
of info. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm surprised there isn't some kind of automated format checking tool that makes sure there are no syntax errors in the Packages file before it's allowed to be uploaded from Incoming into the dist area. As I understand it that process is automated for unstable and already-available packages, so shouldn't the automation verify the syntax?

apt-get newbie question
Hi, I decided to upgrade my slink box to potato tonight, using apt-get (0.3.10) for the first time, but I've gotten stuck: My /etc/apt/sources.list consists of one line: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free I first ran apt-get update, which seemed to work fine. Then, I ran apt-get -f dist-upgrade, which is where things went awry: apt-get appeared to download a good number of packages successfully before coughing up 404 Not Found errors for dpkg-ftp, lilo, dhcpcd, gdb, info, man-db, libgpmg, gpm, dhcpcd, and nfs-server. Then, apt-get just quit, suggesting I try --fix-missing. So I believe I understand what the 404 errors mean -- the files that apt-get is trying to get simply don't exist -- but what I don't understand is if I'm doing something wrong that's causing these errors. Am I correct in assuming that the Packages list created by apt-get update is somehow out of sync with what's actually on http.us.debian.org? Or is there something else I'm missing? More to the point, what can I do to workaround this problem? Try another mirror? Thanks in advance, Michael

Depending on the user this may be helpful or even necessary. Is it a real human or a program that owns that directory? I did not manually chmod the permissions that way. What might have caused this, and what are the implications, anyone? Setting +s group on a directory means that new files created in that directory will be group-owned by the owner of the directory instead of the current group of the user. It does not grant g+s to those files themselves, and of course the actual owner of the file can change the group owner to anything he wants. It is merely a convenience - for example, you have two users collaborating on something. They both belong to group 'project' and agree to store their stuff in a particular directory owned by group 'project'. Normally both users belong to group 'users' - that won't work for this though, because then everybody on the system could tinker with their stuff. So they set g+s on the 'project' directory. Now, all the files they create in there are group-owned by project, so they can both modify them, but other users can't. Of course, there are a variety of uses for this setgid ability of directories - that's just an example.

The user can set it this way in purpose (since they own the directory). It allows them to force the group that new files are created under (only groups they are members of though, so it's safe). The user gains no extra priviledges by doing this, so you can safely let them set it this way. Other instances where this is useful is is group working directory, such as a CVS repository. Ben

where is /proc/asound?
Hallo all, I've just installed slink on my laptop and I'm trying to use the ALSA. Do you need to do any special configureation for ALSA? I've just got a vanilla system and a custom kernel ( still 2.0.36 though) and ALSA just doesn't work. I don't appear to have a /proc/asound directory and I can't find out how to get one. The reason I want this is because I bought Civ:CTP and it doesn't play the music. So I figured that my sound wasn't correctly figured on hamm, one upgrade later and I'm still confused. Any suggestions on how best to get ALSA running would be appreciated. Could you cc. me as well 'cos I'm at work at the mo. :-) thanks

Re: Environment Variable weirdness
The first two variables are set by the shell and are determined either at compile time or by the environment it starts up in. Read the man page for your shell. For bash it says the following: HOSTTYPE Automatically set to a string that uniquely describes the type of machine on which bash is exe cuting. The default is system-dependent. [...] MACHTYPE Automatically set to a string that fully describes the system type on which bash is executing, in the standard GNU cpu-company-system format. The default is system-dependent. Others have described how they are used and what they pertain to. *- On 29 Sep, Salman Ahmed wrote about Environment Variable weirdness (1) Running Debian 2.1, I noticed sth odd about a couple of environment variables (I am running XFree-3.3.3.1-2). First of all : HOSTTYPE=i386-linux I have a Celeron 300A processor and have installed a new 2.2.12 kernel recently. Where is this variable getting set from ? How do I change this env variable on a global basis ? Same thing for the MACHTYPE env variable : MACHTYPE=i386 Why do these variables refer to i386 when the arch command displays the correct output : @phoenix:[/home/ssahmed] arch i686 (2) The other thing is that the DISPLAY env variable is set to unix:0.0. My question is : shouldn't this variable be of the form $HOSTNAME:0.0 ? So why is set to unix:0.0 ? And how do I change this env variable on a global basis (ie for all users) ? (3) The last thing is : I'd like to create an environment variable that contains the following information : kernel version and machine architechture. e.g. : linux-2.2.12-i686.

Ever considerd the package 'kernel-package'. This makes out of any kernel source debian packages, which then can be installed with dpkg, apt-get or what ever ... sure, since i had discovered it, i've never made a kernel without using it. But still you have to make the kernel, and if you compile it, you can't resist tweaking it to each particular system's needs, can you? :) But this is where modules can help you. I have several machines that need slightly different configurations because they have different built-in sound mobos. I compile the kernel on one of them but with all the modules I need. Then I fine tune /etc/modules for soundcard, ppa, joystick etc. But I think that the separation of kernel and distribution is a valuable property of linux and should be preserved at all costs. Otherwise there is the temptation to introduce subtle dependencies between them, which increases complexity and decreases robustness. On a slightly different but related tack, now that NT is an Intel-only OS, how long before Intel architecture specific code creeps into the kernel. How hard will it be to extract those dependencies when transferring it to a new platform.

Re: Modem speed
Christian: The Cisco AS5200 does contain a bank of modems-- if your Windows machine is getting 42000bps, then they're likely 56K modems. Are the Windows and Linux machines calling on the same phone line? They're calling the same phone number, right? To verify that Linux isn't mis-reporting the speed, use minicom to talk to the modem. Send it whatever init string is specified in /etc/chatscripts/your provider, then dial the phone number: atdtphone #. When you connect, does your modem report CONNECT 36? If it does this repeatedly, then you can be fairly confident that this it really is always connecting at this speed. If you suspect that it should be able to connect at a higher speed, start looking through the AT command reference for the modem, to make sure that you haven't inadvertently told it not to try to connect at a higher speed. I believe that most modems accept atf as a command to return everything to the factory default. Let us know what you find.
