Enmascaramiento del correo con SEndmail
Hola a todos. Como últimamente habréis observado todos, los servidores de correo se están poniendo cada vez más duros con el tema del spam. A resultas de esto, me he encontrado con que parte del correo que mando no llega nunca a sus destinatarios, ya que aparece como proveniente de alderaan.maptel.es, mi máquina (bueno, lo de maptel.es es el dominio de mi ISP, lo puse para evitar ciertos problemillas, la máquina se llama alderaan a secas), y muchos servidores lo rechazan al ser una máquina inexistente (evidentemente, no aparece en ningún DNS). Lo se porque tengo acceso como administrador a alguna de las máquinas a las que envío correo y veo en los log's del correo que mis mensajes son rechazados. Además, no mandan el manseje devuelto, con lo que muchas veces no se si ha llegado o no. En el sendmail tengo puesta la opción de que enmascare todo el correo como maptel.es y que use como smarthost pop3.maptel.es, pero aún así hay servidores que rechazan mis mensajes. ... ergo, la pregunta del millón es ¿hay alguna manera de que el sendmail reescriba las cabeceras de manera que el mensaje venga de una máquina conocida, o que no ponga que viene de alderaan?

CLASSPATH
Hola a todos. Una pregunta, supongo que facilita: ¿qué es exactamente el CLASSPATH y como lo puedo definir para incluir en él un directorio X? Lo he intentado en .bashrc y en .profile (donde tengo el PATH) pero no sé si lo habré hecho bien (supongo que no) porque unos programas no se me ejecutan porque, en teoría, no lo tengo bien definido (según me han dicho). Muchísimas gracias por vuestra ayuda y vuestro tiempo. Un saludo. Emilio.

Una pregunta, supongo que facilita: ¿qué es exactamente el CLASSPATH y como lo puedo definir para incluir en él un directorio X? Lo he intentado en .bashrc y en .profile (donde tengo el PATH) pero no sé si lo habré hecho bien (supongo que no) porque unos programas no se me ejecutan porque, en teoría, no lo tengo bien definido (según me han dicho). El CLASSPATH es el conjunto de directorios donde el Java busca sus librerías de clases (.class o .zip/.jar/.cab si están empaquetadas). Uséase, que sólo es necesario para aplicaciones Java. Lo normal es tener algo así como /usr/local/jdkM.m/lib:. donde jdkM.m es el jdk que tienes instalado (la versión de Java que tienes instalada) o si no, /usr/local/netscape/java, que es el directorio (creo, si no es ese es otro parecido) donde suele estar el classes.zip del Netscape, para que los applets se ejecuten bien.

Si lo único que quieres es usar las X con tu tarjeta (porque la distro de Xfree de Hamm no la soporta), pienso que es mejor que vayas a un mirror de XFree y te bajes el binario de SVGA precompilado de XF86 3.3.5 para glibc2.

Programas para impresoras HP
Buenos días a todos, estoy buscando algún programa que permita configurar automáticamente impresoras HP. Tengo una HPLaserjet 4L, y me gustaría poder controlar por ejemplo el modo ECONOMODE que me aparece en güindos. Por otro lado, el fin de semana estuve configurando linux para mi impresora, y conseguí que me imprimiera. Otra cosa que intenté fue imprimir archivos PostScript en mi impresora no-PostScript. Para ello utilicé el filtro de entrada que aparece en la documentación de ayuda para la configuración de impresoras en linux. Este filtro se supone que es capaz de detectar al comienzo de un archivo los caracteres %!. Si detecta estos caracteres es un archivo PostScript, y entonces hace uso del ghostscript para imprimirlo, sino lo trata como texto normal. El caso es que utilicé ese filtro y cuando era un archivo normal funcionaba perfectamente, pero cuando era PostScript me salía impresa una sola línea tal que así: GSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGSGS ¿Alguién sabe que ocurre? Gracias y un saludo. Manolo.

SB-PCI-64
Estimados amigos. Por fin he conseguido, tras un no corto fin de semana, hacer que mi equipo pueda usar la tarjata de sonido bajo Linux. Sin embargo he encontrado un par de problemas que os quiero comentar para, como siempre, tener vuestras sugerencias y comentarios. Para entrar en situación os diré que tenía el Kernel 2.0.36, bajo el que no conseguía sonido. Actualicé al 2.2.4 que ya traía soporte para la tarjeta que como bien me habeis dicho es la es1370. Ahora puedo escuchar CD musicales desde el CD-Rom, pero solo si soy el root, y este es el primer problema que tengo que comentaros. Desde cualquier otro usuario me dice que no puede acceder al dispositivo cdrom. Además no puedo montarlo pues el sistema de ficheros no es el iso9960. Por otro lado oigo un ruido en los altavoces que se produce cuando muevo el ratón. ¿Conoceis solución para esto? Tampoco puedo escuchar ficheros mp3. Los programas parece que funcionan pues no dan señales de error, sin embargo no se oye nada. Los programas que uso son amp, freeamp, ... que ya tenía instalados hace tiempo. Por último os quiero comentar que bajo X he dejado de poder correr Xemacs. En la consola 1 da algunas indicaciones de que tengo que tener instalado unos programas pero antes de compilar el 2.2.4 esto no ocurria. Os agradezco la ayuda. Bueno, saludos y hasta la próxima.

Re: SB-PCI-64
Tu problema con el CD-ROM es obviamente de permisos, date los permisos adecuados... Tu problema con los altavoces... comprueba las conexiones, si realment tienes bien enchufada la clavija donde corresponde, se por experiencia que los agujeritos de la SB-PCI pueden liarte. Comprueba con un mixer que tienes el sonido a un volumen audible... lo de los mp3, será por tu problema con los altavoces...

Re: inicio de X con xdm
Ignacio J. Alonso wrote: Hola, hola, Desde que actualicé a slink se me instaló el arranque en X con xdm y lo he dejado así, pero me a cabo de dar cuenta de una cosa si entro directamente en X al arrancar linux esto ¿significa que no se ejecuta ni el profile, ni el .bashrc, ni el environment, ni ningún otro script de configuración de este tipo que se ejecutan al arrancar en consola? A ver, si abres una xterm se ejecutará tu .bash_profile o .profile (según el shell que utilices esto puede cambiar) en esa xterm. En mi caso el .bash_profile se limita a cargar el .bashrc. En las X (que es lo que entiendo que quieres decir) no se ejecuta ninguno de estos ficheros. Si esto es cierto, ¿que debo hacer? ponerlo en el .xsession de la forma exec /etc/profile exec /etc/environment exec ¡Ah!, vale. Luego te refieres a los ficheros generales de configuración en el /etc. El /etc/profile NO se ejecuta (es sólo para los login shells como los que se ejecutan al abrir una xterm o conectarse) tal como dice en la cabecera del propio fichero: # /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for bash(1). En lo que concierne al /etc/environment, don't worry. Dicho fichero SÍ se carga al arrancar las X, aunque sea desde el xdm. Ahí configuras variables de entorno que te gustaría que leyesen todos los programas que ejecutes en las X, como la impresora por defecto del sistema (variable PRINTER), etc.. Si te sirve de algo, te envío mi /etc/environment: PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games PRINTER=homero NLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls MANPATH=/usr/local/man:/usr/man/es:/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man MM_CHARSET=ISO-8859-1 LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-1 export PATH PRINTER NLSPATH XNLSPATH MANPATH MM_CHARSET LANG Por otra parte, si quieres ejecutar el /etc/profile en tu sesión X, sí, puedes poner en tu .xsession: source /etc/profile.

And if nosuid is a good thing for this system, can it be implemented for the /home directories only, without doing it for the whole / directory? Being that nosuid is a mount option, this would be quite easy to do if your /home was a separate partition, which I assume it is not.

Hello! I think that Debian is the best Linux distribution , since it suports free software , and it is easy to install and upgrade , and higly stable and secure. Is the linux distribution that better reflects the spirit of free software. But I think that there is something that we should care about. Some packages are rather old and should be updated more frequently. Some examples: The current version of Xfree is 3.3.5 ( from ftp.xfree86.org) but the xfree in the stable release is 3.3.3 (I think) . This is crucial since some video cards (like Sis 620) are only supported by the new version. The same happens with gnome (I was able to get from ftp.gnome.org debian packages for slink that are newer than the ones from ftp.debian.org , but they are not there any more). I think that we should consider: 1) Create some easy-to-use tools for making debian packages ( not for experts I mean) in order that everybody can make a debian package and so debian is updated faster (or perhaps we could get debian packages from elsewhere , if someone want to make a program freely avaliable it would be nice that he could make easy a debian package). 2) Try to agree with the other linux distributions in a uniform package format . I think we should consider use the rpm format for debian. The are excelent tools from red-hat (under GPL) for installing rpm ( glint is more intuitive than dselect ) , and let me say that is easy to find rpm packages than deb.

help.. your search is not running yet and need help
I am installing Debian on a Compaq SystemPro/LT (arrrg Compaq!!!) and having a couple of problems (probably provoked by a lack of a CDROM). I have the software 'all installed' and configured except the proxy server. I am in the process of trying to install the 2nd card. I have gone through the FAQ and installs and etc etc. I first tried with 2 NE2000 but had no luck and realized I really need to have one of the cards as UTP. The promary card works fine. If I plug the LAN cable into the other NE2000 it too works fine but I cant seem to configure 2 cards running at once. What I want is to have the NE2000 as my side of the gateway and running a network with: IP 172.17.12.35 and a Compaq 32 bit NetFlex UTP on my ISP side (which is permitted): IP 10.169.96.98 sub=255.255.255.248 gate=10.169.96.97 domain=nbtel.net hostname=010169096098 DNS=192.168.254.2, 192.168.253.2 I tried using the append command with the options with no luck and I tried some other options in the lilo.conf.

Re: DHCP problem....
I would add: if you want to be able to ping the machine just like you can windows boxes then you'll need the Linux version of the software which makes this mechanism (Lan Manager a.k.a. Windows Networking) work. This package is called samba and is available as a couple different debian packages. Doing 'apt-get install samba' should get you there. Note that you may need a script which will update /etc/hosts. I'm not sure if the current dhcp package will do this and samba will not work otherwise. Phil Brutsche wrote: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... I just installed DHCP client on Debian slink machine. It works almost fine it just does not pick up the host name :(. It is seen on the network by its IP address only. If I ping it by the name from the local console it responds that the host name is not known (I removed its static IP entry from the hosts file). Any suggestions will be appreciated :) This is how I read your message: 1) A computer running slink called elvis (for example) uses DHCP to get it's IP# and related information. 2) Someone else on the network tries to ping elvis, and fails 3) Someone on elvis tries to ping elvis, and fails If this is the case, welcome to DHCP :) The reason #2 and #3 fails is because there is no way for another system to find out elvis' IP#, either because the name 'elvis' wasn't found in /etc/hosts (or the equivalent), or in DNS, as you found out. Your solutions are: 1) convince the local system administrator(s) to use Dynamic DNS. This allows the DHCP server to update the DNS server's IP# database 2) convince the local system administrator(s) to give you a static IP# somehow, either through DHCP by MAC address or an outright static IP# (no DHCP involved) 3) use one of the free dynamic hosting services available on the internet; an example is www.dhs.org -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.

Re: http://www.debian.org/contact
1) Create some easy-to-use tools for making debian packages ( not for experts I mean) in order that everybody can make a debian package and so debian is updated faster (or perhaps we could get debian packages from elsewhere , if someone want to make a program freely avaliable it would be nice that he could make easy a debian package). That is a big no-no. A non-expert just can't live up to the quality one should expect from Debian. Making it easy-to-use would just let more ignorant people make packages that possibly break other things. Package maintainers should know what is going on with their packages, so they can fix bugs, etc. 2) Try to agree with the other linux distributions in a uniform package format . I think we should consider use the rpm format for debian. The are excelent tools from red-hat (under GPL) for installing rpm ( glint is more intuitive than dselect ) , and let me say that is easy to find rpm packages than deb. Maybe, but does rpm support Suggests, Recommends, Provides, Hold, Section, Priority, package-based Depends, or even text-based databases that you can grep? No. The Debian motto has sort of always been to do things the right way, even if it means being different. If it weren't for the speed issues of dpkg (IMHO, the database should still be text, but binary cached), I suspect most other distros would be using it as well, as it really displays the quality and intelligence that is Linux. Conformance and ease of use have never been high priorities of the Debian community. The reason there are multiple distributions of Linux is so you can choose which ones you like.

For a good discussion of the reasons stable is mildly out-of-date, check this thread: http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9910/msg2.html I think that we should consider: 1) Create some easy-to-use tools for making debian packages ( not for experts I mean) in order that everybody can make a debian package and so debian is updated faster (or perhaps we could get debian packages from elsewhere , if someone want to make a program freely avaliable it would be nice that he could make easy a debian package). Making a _good_ package isn't something you can make extremely simple. The tools the actual developers use are available, and they are pretty easy to use as long as you can follow a few HOWTOs (look in the Developer's section of the website). If you really want the new stuff that badly, and you don't mind a little risk if instability, check out unstable. And remember to file bug reports if you find any bugs! 2) Try to agree with the other linux distributions in a uniform package format . I think we should consider use the rpm format for debian. The are excelent tools from red-hat (under GPL) for installing rpm ( glint is more intuitive than dselect ) , and let me say that is easy to find rpm packages than deb. Why? Debs actually have quite a few advantages over rpms. Other people don't share this opinion. I'll stop now lest i provoke an even greater flamewar. Check the archives, other replies to your post, and the web for discussions of the matter. Oddly enough, a few people (me for one) find dselect very easy to use.

debian-security: another new mailing list
This is to announce the establishment of a new debian mailing list: debian-security, for the discussion of all aspects of security significant to the Debian system, including cryptography. Why have a list dedicated to security? The primary reason is to facilitate future reference and research. When, in the future, questions arise about security issues, e.g., what was the rationale for establishing the security policies that will be developed, it will be far easier to research those issues if the discussion is brought together in one place, rather than being intermixed with all the usability and developmental issues that necessarily dominate debian-user and debian-devel. Why have to wade through the masses of, say, release-oriented posts on debian-devel if one is only interested in a security-related matter? Conversely, by removing some of the traffic from debian-user and debian-devel, it should make those lists a little more compact. As to the invited inclusion of both users and developers on this list, it is hoped that that may make the list a better learning vehicle and communication channel for all parties. Your cooperation in subscribing to and using the list for its stated purpose will enable those goals to be achieved. To subscribe, please visit the Debian mailing list subscription page http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe or send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the single word 'subscribe' in the message body.

Need advice about WingzPro Script.
I have just dowloaded and installed the WingzPro Spredsheet program. I
did follow all of the instructions but I'm not sure what to do next. I
wil post the pertinent instructions, but I do not know exactly how to
implement them.
Launching Instructions
---
The following example shell script includes commands for
launching both the Wingz and WingzPro products.
Select the appropriate line for the product you want to launch.
#!/bin/csh
setenv WINGZ3 /path_to_install_directory
${WINGZ3}/bin/WingzPro # Wingz Professional
${WINGZ3}/bin/Wingz # Wingz

Any suggestions will be appreciated. I am sure this is probably very
simple, but it is likely a little more Unixey than I can deal with. BTW
I use a bash shell as my default but have csh available. Thanks!

cannot route after adding more interfaces
Hi, At one of our servers here, we have about 11 ip adresses allocated to it. However, when I try to add an additonal interface, the server cannot traceroute to anywhere anymore. In particular, the last couple of entries in the routing table look strange: 100.100.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 26201 eth0:11 100.100.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 2233 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default our.gate.way.ip 0.0.0.0 UG1 0 13866 eth0:11 where 100.100.100.0 is our entire network. eth0:11 is the last interface we added in /etc/init.d/network. With this, everything still works fine. Now, when I add an additional interface, eth0:7 which isn't used before, the routing tables change to the following: 100.100.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0:7 100.100.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 26251 eth0:11 100.100.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 2233 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default our.gate.way.ip 0.0.0.0 UG1 0 16 eth0:7 And the machine can no longer traceroute to anywhere. Could anyone please tell me how to change it to use eth0 for default instead of 11 or 7. Thanks in advance.

Congradulations Debian - Comercial product coming ! [Long]
Just got this from pointcast ! --- Story VA Linux, SGI, fund retail version of Debian GNU/Linux October 12, 1999 3:55 PM EDT SAN FRANCISCO, (Reuters) - Three companies have teamed up to fund the packaging of another version of the upstart Linux operating system called Debian GNU/Linux, which was developed by a group of about 500 independent programmers. VA Linux Systems Inc., a maker of systems that run the upstart Linux operating system, workstation maker SGI (SGI.N) and book publisher O'Reilly Associates are sponsoring the packaging of Debian GNU/Linux for sale at retail. Until now, Debian GNU/Linux, which was created by a group of developers called the Debian Project, has been available over the Internet for free. The Debian Project is an open source project, where developers access a product's source code for free and share their work over the Internet, in order to create better, bug-free software. In retail stores, Debian GNU/Linux will compete with Red Hat Linux and a few other retail versions of the software, which has become increasingly popular in the past year as a competitor to Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT.O) Windows NT for some applications. Linux is a version of the UNIX operating system that was developed by Linus Torvalds, a Finnish programmer. Torvalds manages the updates and additions to Linux. VA Linux Systems said Debian GNU/Linux is the second most popular version of Linux among hardware customers after Red Hat Linux, which is distributed by Red Hat Inc. (RHAT.O), the first company in the Linux space to go public. ``Debian has a few qualities that make it interesting,'' said Brian Biles, vice president of marketing at VA Linux Systems. ''It's our second most requested distribution.'' O'Reilly Associates, a publisher of books on the Internet and open source software in Sebastopol, Calif., will include its new book, ``Learning to use Debian GNU/Linux,'' in the Debian package, which will retail at an introductory $19.95. The Debian CD package will also include 1440 open source software packages and a demo of Loki Entertainment's ``Myth II: Soulblighter'' game software, which runs on Linux. One of the most popular features in Debian GNU/Linux is ''apt-get,'' which automates free network downloads of all software package updates, making the Debian CD the last CD a user may need to keep their system up-to-date with Linux. SGI, based in Mountain View, Calif., is helping to sponsor the project by helping VA Linux with the cost. Sales for Debian GNU/Linux will be donated to Software in the Public Interest, a nonprofit group for open source projects, including Debian. VA Linux Systems, based in Sunnyvale, has two Debian programmers who work on Debian full time while at VA Linux. Last week, VA Linux Systems filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to raise $70 million in an initial public offering. Chip giant Intel Corp. (INTC.O) is among the investors of VA Linux Systems. ``We want to give back to the community,'' said Biles. ''(Debian) has been a cornerstone of the open source community. It's a way for them to give back to their audience.'' The Debian Project, which started in the mid-1990s, is central to the open source community. - Double E Solutions Attn: Paul McHale 4912 Effingham Dayton, Ohio 45431 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: 937-253-7610 Mobile: 937-371-2828 Fax:408-351-8803 Home: 937-253-6260 (anytime) -

Thinkpad 560 - suspend/resume wierdness, tried MANY things...
Hello, I've been quiet, as I got sound and my ppa (imm) zip drive working! For the past couple days, I've tried everything I could find on the web the Thinkpad 560, and it's APM problems. I even downgraded my BIOS to the 1.1 version. I built many kernels, even 2.2.0 on the slink CD. (Which has the new ignore multiple sus/res cycles) I went back to 2.0.36 as everything else (CDROM,etc.) works OK with that kernel. The machine will suspend/resume OK (multiple times) when plugged in, but when running off battery, it always logs can't enter requested state when I close the display. The APM patch posted on one site appears to be already included in the 2.0.36 version of apm_bios.c from what I can determine by comparing the (old?) patch with the source. As it works PERFECTLY when on AC, I am still persuing this. I am wondering if perhaps there are other variables in this picture that I am overlooking. In other words, is apm_bios.c the only thing that I should have to muck with to fix this? Or could the apmd daemon be at fault possibly? I really want to get this working. ANY help or advise is welcome! John __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: no /dev/dsp
Hello Lance, - I also get the error when trying to start ViaVoice. I have - a SoundBlaster PNP16. What is dsp? Is there a way I can - get the device /dsp on my system. I just went through this. Assuming that you have (made) a kernel with sound support, login as root and perform: cd /dev MAKEDEV audio That will create the audio devices for you, which include the dsp, mixer, etc. The dsp device is the Digital Signal Processor or Digital Sound Processor I believe.
