ftp anonymous
Hola:
Tengo instalado Debian en 3 pc's y me he dado cuenta de
que en uno de ellos no existe el usuario ftp para conexiones
anonimas.
Podeis alguno recordarme cual es el paquete que crea este usuario.?
(Conozco más o menos el procedimiento para crearlo de forma manual,
aunque he visto que en Debian no se crea dentro del directorio del
usuario la estructura de directorios tipica ( /bin /etc ) por que ? )
Saludos.

adduser y GID
Hola. En mis sistema, al añadir un nuevo usuario, por defecto se crea su directorio home y un grupo nuevo para ese usuario. Los permisos para el directorio home queda drwxr-sr-x, es decir, se activa el setgid. Seg'un tengo entendido, setgid significa que los archivos ejecutables a nivel de grupo se ejecutaran como si los ejecutara root. Me pregunto: cu'al es la utilidad de activar setgid? supone problemas de seguridad? hay alguna opci'on en adduser.conf para desactivar ese bit? Muchas gracias Anita

printtool ya es oficial (Aviso para los que usan el mío)
Hola a todos, He visto hace unos días que Rafael Kitover [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha decidido mantener oficialmente el paquete printtool, con las utilidades de redhat para impresora, y que éste ya está disponible para potato. Para los que utilizáis el que me hice yo y puse en la red, es recomendable bajo todos los puntos de vista que os acualicéis al de Rafael, ya que me imagino que estará mucho mejor mantenido. Como depende únicamente de wish y perl5, los que utilicéis slink no lo podéis utilizar todavía, por una cuestión de dependencias, ya que me parece que el perl de slink no ofrece perl5, aunque creo que funcionaría bien, salvo que dslect os recordaría todo el rato que falta perl5. En una próxima versión quitará la dependencia, ya que en realidad depende sólo de perl-base. En el printtool que ya está en potato, los dos paquetes printtool y rhs-printfilters (y parte del control-panel) están ahora juntos en uno sólo, printtool, que incluye todo lo necesario. En una de las versiones mías se me deslizó un desvío (diversion) erróneo en el postinst, que en la prática impide purgar bien rhs-printfilters. De momento instalando primero la versión que está en este momento en mi página (http://corbu.aq.upm.es/~agmartin/linux/store/debian/rhs-printfilters_1.51-3_i386.deb) se elimina al problema. Rafael Kitover incluirá una solución similar en su próxima versión. Si tienes instalado el mío y vas a instalar el oficial, estos son los pasos que debes hacer: 1. Haz una copia de seguridad de /etc/printcap con otro nombre. 2. Instala mi paquete nuevo. Puedes evitar este paso si en vez de hacer 1) simplemente renombras /etc/printcap. En cualquier caso, una copia de seguridad con otro nombre nunca está de más 3. Purga los paquetes anteriores: dpkg --purge printtool rhs-printfilters 4. Si lo has cambiado de nombre en 2), deshaz el cambio de nombre. 5. Instala el nuevo printtool. 6. Rehaz las impresoras. No necesitas introducir de nuevo todos los datos, simplemente velos con el printtool y al salir te lo habrá rehecho. El paso 6) es necesario para que todo funcione, ya que el paquete de redhat copia para cada impresora el (mismo) filtro maestro que tiene la dirección de los demás filtros. Como las direcciones han cambiado con el nuevo printtool, es necesario que los filtros en cada directorio de spool cambien. A los que lo habéis utilizado, gracias, y si necesitáis alguna ayuda, ya sabéis donde estoy Saludos, -- = Agustín Martín Domingo, Dpto. de Física, ETS Arquitectura Madrid, (U.

Gracias a las news he descubierto como ver qué puertos estan a la escucha (netstat -a), y claro aquí es donde han empezado mis dudas. He logado identificar todos los puertos habiertos... salvo uno, un tal sunrpc que habre el demonio portmap, sin embargo, su pagina man es un tanto criptica: Portmap is a server that converts RPC program numbers into DARPA protocol port numbers. It must be running in order to make RPC calls. Y claro, la cuestiones son: ¿Qué son 'números de programa RPC'? ¿Qué son los 'números de puerto del protocolo DARPA'? Vale, esto ultimo intuyo lo que es, son los números de puerto: 21 - telnet, 25 - smtp,... ¿no?. Lo de DARPA no me suena nada.

Necesito ayuda con el exim.
Saludos. Ya me he montado un mini-servidor http/ftp/pop3, y claro, ahora estoy peleándome con lo de los emails que vienen de otras partes de la red local. La situación es que hay un ordenador que tiene conexión con internet, y tiene cuentas de email. El resto de los ordenadores lo usan como servidor pop3 local, y smtp también. El invento funciona, y puedo mandar para fuera y para dentro de la red sin problemas. Sin embargo, en el exim tengo configurado, que siempre que pilla una dirección [EMAIL PROTECTED], me la reescribe a [EMAIL PROTECTED], dado que sólo tengo una dirección de email. Pues bueno, me reescribe el from, pero ¡de todos los emails! Es decir, los mails locales también son reescritos a [EMAIL PROTECTED], por lo que un reply no funciona, teniendo que cambiar manualmente la dirección a donde se va a responder, por la dirección local de email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). He intentado usar el flag q de las rewritting-rules, pero sólo se aplica si el resto de las rewritting rules para una determinada dirección _también_ cumplen los mismos flaqs. Es decir, que algo como: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] tTq [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] F no funciona, porque la segunda línea no tiene los flags tT. ¿Se ve lo que quiero hacer? He releído el manual del exim, y no parece ser que haya forma alguna de hacer una especie de if/else con las rewritting-rules :-( ¿Alguien tiene una idea de qué puedo hacer?

You have to explicitly specify at least one include path that contains the ndbm.h directory. If you are using the configure script supplied with the app/package, one way to do this is: ./configure --site-includes=/usr/include/db1 (rest of the options) Check the configure script supplied with the app and see what the exact option is to specify additional include directories (try ./configure --help), though the --site-includes option is a pretty standard way of specifying additional include dirs.

There's probably a lot of people in my boat. I imagine I could get one of the cheap licenses from Sun, but I thought I'd take a look at the Debian port (NetBSD in the case of the /3s) first. There's also the fact that Debian is less revolting (or at least more familiar - though they might be the same thing) to use than Solaris.

The non-freeness isn't such an issue as the fact that the restrictions in the GPL make it illegal to distribute KDE binaries. You're not allowed to combine code under the GPL with code under a more restrictive license (such as the QT one) and distribute the results. The chances of anyone trying to sue because of KDE are minimal, but since pretty much all Debian resources are donated and we encourage third parties to sell and distribute our stuff it is felt that paranoia is the best policy.

When I start dselect and select the select option, the list I get looks like there are many packages that will be installed - for example, all of the required packages. Since these have already been installed (as part of the initial install of the OS), how to I tell dselect that I only want to install a particular package (in this case XFree86). It looks to me that if I run dselect the way it apprears that all of the packages marked for installation will be installed, including the one I want installed. Is this true? What am I missing? You're misinterpreting the display. The three stars indicate (from left to right) that the package is currently installed, that it was marked for install when you entered the screen, and that it should remain installed. Occasionally you'll see a character to the right of these three symbols indicating an error status. Read the help (press '?') for more information on this. There's three basic headings a *** package can be under: --- Up to date installed packages ---, --- Updated packages (newer version is available) ---, and --- Obsolete and local packages present on system - ---. If it's under 'updated', that means a newer version is available. 'Obsolete' means that it's not on any of the Debian mirrors you told it to check. 'Up to date' means that you have the newest version available. A package marked for installation will have either '-' or '_' as the leftmost of those three characters, and '*' as the rightmost. A package marked for uninstallation will have '*' as the leftmost and '-' or '_' as the rightmost. A package that is installed and should stay installed will have '*' as it's left and right characters. A package that isn't installed and should not be installed will have '_' or '-' for left and right characters. '-' in all cases means that config files are still on the system (so you don't have to modify them anew if you reinstall the package), while '_' means that config files have been removed. The center character always indicates the state of the rightmost character when you first entered the selection screen, in case you want to reset your changes (using the 'R' option, perhaps).

This one worked without problems with glibc2.1.x. There were however later upgrades to glibc in that time, but I think it wasn't glibc, they did something with the new version ^^^ Why? Circumstances point more towards the glibc problem mentioned above. of SO to solve the problem. [[[ SNIP ]]] With glibc2.0.x, the original tarball from stardivision.com would work fine, but that version only works for systems with glibc2.0.x.

At one point i was troubleshooting a RedHat laptop (not mine or it would've been Debian ;) where the network card would only function when the cdrom/floppy wedge was not attached. I found a message in the logs that made me suspect that the system couldn't assign an IRQ for the card and so refused to insmod the module.

Netboot swapfile
Hi, It seems that this mailing list is not only talking about Debian specifics but also Linux in general, so I have questions on Linux netboot. Some days ago I installed several Linux clients with no harddisk to boot from a server. The clients had 32MB RAM; this could be quite a lot, but for running X apps I thought that swapspaces would still be needed. The problem was that I couldn't set the swap files for the clients. I tried it using nfs, but swapon wouldn't work. Is there any possibility to have swap files on the server to be accessed by the clients via the LAN? BTW, if you happen to install Linux for netbooting, ps (which needs /proc) wouldn't work. I worked it around using ramdisks (/dev/ramdisk); all I needed was to set ramdisk on on the clients' boot floppies (using rdev) and used the devices later as the mount points for /proc. The question is, was that the right way to make ps working? Oki

Here is a snippet of my script which contains the code for the ftp session: # setup networking defaults /bin/cp /home/someuser/somefile/ ~/.netrc # begin ftp session to upload file /usr/bin/ftp -v -i home.myisp.com EOI put /var/www/somefilehere www/somefilethere quit EOI Why would this work from the (bash) command line, but not from /etc/init.d/ip-up.d? BTW, I've tried with #!/bin/sh and #!/bin/bash. It could be that the script is trying to run before the link is all the way up and cannot make the connection. You could try throwing a sleep in there test this theory. Just guessing from some things along this line I was doing awhile back. Hi again, I tried adding a sleep 9 right before beginning the ftp session, but it didn't make any difference. Maybe it needs a longer amount of time? Since the file is written to my local machine with a link to the (correct) current, dynamic IP address, I can't imagine that the link is not up when that same file is uploaded to the server _later_ in the script. In fact, I added a line with mail -s script name myuserid /somefilehere right before, and right after, the ftp session part of the script. Both messages found their way to my inbox with the _correct_ dynamic IP address for ppp0. It seems that everything in the script runs properly except the scripted ftp session (which works fine from the command line). Which brings me back to my original question: Where are ftp error messages logged? Thanks for the interest. PS: Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d supposed to run only _after_ the ppp link is established? -- David Karlin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://funk48.home.travelin.com Powered by Debian GNU/Linux 2.1
Sun sparc: no media install? [Re: Sun classic]
BTW, why would anyone install the Debian on Suns if the machines come with Solaris right out the boxes? The only reason I'm asking about Debian on Sun is that I think it's an interesting alternative since the Classic where I have an access to doesn't have Solaris on it (the CDs I mean). I've been trying to get a Sun sparc machine for myself, with the only purpose of installing Debian/Linux into it. I don't know why I should have it working only with Solaris if I could make it run with Linux. On another list someone said he had got one sparc station, with no media in it, and no OS installed. Anyone knows how could this guy have Debian installed? (surely via internet, but as I said there's no system installed, and no floppy or cd drive).

Just a guess, perhaps Morse is a 2 or more dimensional array type rather
than a one-dimensional one, and you need to add braces for the rows?
No, don't think so...
Here is a bit from the code:
---

int ct=0;
while(MorseTable[ct].code)
{
if(MorseTable[ct].code==c)

Looks one-dimensional to me.

Re: Slink to Potato
On Mon, Oct 04, 1999 at 03:38:05AM +0100, Mark Brown was heard to state: The stable GNOME packages are actually produced by the Debian maintainers - they're just distributed from the GNOME site. So, why would they not be introduced into slink-proposed-updates? The only things in proposed-updates should be minimal fixes for very important (eg, security) bugs - things that will go into a new point release of slink. New upstream releases don't generally make those criteria, and the GNOME one certainly doesn't. I've managed to stay out of this up until now, but this is something I have been concerned about myself. This last statement is really the crux of the matter - should stable remain untouched except for security updates? I think when the new debian comes out, I'll really have to be called Debian 3.0. As far as I'm aware, the traditional naming convention for software projects means that a whole number release signifies a release which is incompatible with the previous release. Because of the developments such as glibc2.1, perl, and probably numerous other things, you can't take something out of Potato and put it on a Slink system and expect it to work. It's an all-or-nothing arrangement. They may both be `GNU/Linux', but they are essential incompatible. The problem for most of us trapped in slink-land is that, while the linux and open source community is streaking ahead in leaps and bounds, with advances in software coming so quickly that it's hard for anyone to keep up, we are merely marking time. Let me make clear that I have nothing against the Debain model. I know that it's completely volunteer, and that a bunch of volunteers who do the packages, organised via a series of high-traffic mailing lists, is as close to anarchy as you can really get. I fully appreciate the dedication that the developers have, and know that they wont release anything until they believe they have it right. For a production system, I'd much rather have an slightly rusty debain install than a brand new RedHat one. Maybe the problem with the debian model is that everything has to work together so well before it is released, and there is so much that has to work. The number of debian packages seems to grow by a dozen or so every time Debian Weekly News comes out, and I suspect by the time Potato becomes stable, it'll need at least 3 CDs for Main. The problem is that, unlike with RPMs, very few people outside the debian project package DEBs of their software - why would they when they may as well be offical for the same effort. Yes I know you can use Alien, but really, that's a hack (if quite a good one at times), not a solution. So if you want any new software to easily add, you need to wait for a new debian release. Luckily for us, there are a few people who package and release stuff for Slink, such as netgod, and the GNOME and KDE maintainers. In my experience, all of this stuff has worked quite well, and I have no complaints. But to keep up to date with anything other than what these people maintain, you're on your own. Now, I've been using linux for a few years now, so I'm not scared to try a `./configure; make; make install', but then you loose the benefits of dpkg/apt looking after your system. You also run the very real risk of not having the libraries you need, or not in the right places, and if you want to update something `significant', like the GIMP, you're probably going to have to be installing lots of libraries yourself, and ending up getting into all sorts of confusion. I've looked after a few RedHat machines, and although I'll take Debian any day, they did have one advantage. Their base system, like Debian, was only really updated for security fixes and the kernel differences, between major releases. But at least RH users have the possibility of looking in the Conrtib archives (their contrib means `user contributed', which makes more sense to me than contrib meaning `depends on something in non-free', but maybe I'm just thick...), and finding nice new releases of their favourite packaged. Sure, it might not work, it might hose their system, it might even install a backdoor and have you owned in half an hour, but it's an informed choice. Debian stable, on the other hand, works perfect, every time, for a long time - but it doesn't change for a long time either. Something of a doble-edged sword, I guess. I'm not necessarily suggesting we go the RH way, and throw quality control to the wind, but it's an interesting difference that highlights some issues. Where does this leave me? I like trying new things, and I'm as up-to-date as netgod and gnome want me to be. I'm also pretty adventurous, and I'd like to try some of the newer stuff. I compile a bit of stuff myself (Lyx was one of the apps mentioned in the original message in this thread, and I've got that working fine by compiling it myself). On the other hand, I'm not a programmer - I'm a user. I can fix some things, apply patches

Clock is loosing time
Why is the time as shown by asclock drifting so far from the real time? Does Linux read the BIOS time, and therefore my BIOS clock is losing time quickly, or is something else going on? Now the time is off by about 15 minutes, and it makes crontab jobs sort of tricky. Is there a way to sync the time with a server when I start a PPP, so I won't have to worry about this in the future?

Re: In case anyone was wondering where kde.tdyc.com went.
[While I am a lawyer, the following is not legal advice. If you need legal advice, contact an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.] It is not that Qt is incomaptible it is the fact that KDE is linked to software under a non GPL license and KDE is under the GPL. This violates the GPL. See http://www.debian.org/News/1998/19981008 for all the specifics. Keep in mind that this is for Qt v1, Qt v2 is under a different license so things are starting to change for the better. This is a common misunderstanding, even among KDE developers. No matter how many times they say it, KDE is *not* GPL, but quasi-GPL. The actions of the developers override the conflicting boilerplate in the GPL, creating a different license. This is basic and ancient law. On the other hand, being that KDE is not GPL, inclusion of other GPL'd software withing KDE could/would/does(?) violate the GPL. The bottom line is that it is legally impossible for the developers to violate their own license. It is, however, possible for them to violate other licenses by including code. --
