[...] Hola Cosme, Lo que pasa es que el modem puede estar en dos estados, recibiendo comandos o recibiendo datos para transmitir. Cuando esta transmitiendo, existe una cadena, por defecto son tres signos de adicion consecutivos, que le dice al modem que no transmita lo que sigue, sino que lo interprete como un comando. Asi, si tienes la famosa cadena en un mensaje, cuando pase por el modem este se va a parar ahi y va a esperar un comando. En este caso era ATH0, que le dice al modem que cuelgue. Felipe Sanchez

Configurando el sonido
Hola debianeros, Pues aquí estoy intentando configurar la tarjeta de sonido de mi Debian, y me he encontrado con unos problemas que os cuento: En primer lugar he seguido al pie de la letra las instrucciones que incluyen los fuentes del nucleo, pero no he podido encontrar para mi Debian el paquete AweSfx que se menciona en ellos y que, entre otras cosas, sirve para cargar el banco de instrumentos MIDI. Tampoco he podido importarlo con Alien desde un RPM y al intentar compilarlo desde los sources ha fallado... El programa exacto que necesito es el fxload. La pregunta es: Existe otro programa en mi Debian para hacerlo lo mismo que este? Si no es así, de donde puedo sacar el fxload para mi Debian? Y si tampoco está por ahí, como puedo compilarlo (Lo he intentado siguiendo las instrucciones del tar.gz, pero no funciono)?? A pesar de estos problemas he obviado la parte MIDI y he recompilado el kernel. Ahora, gracias a esto, puedo escuchar CD's de audio. Sin embargo he intentado probar a copiar un fich. a /dev/audio para probar la tarjeta y no existe!!! Esto es normal?? Como puedo probar sino si la tarjeta ya esta configurada?? Porque tambien he intentado probar los sonidos del KDE (no funciono) y un par de programas de mp3 (tampoco funcionaron, decian que les faltaba /dev/noseque). Alguna ayudita, por favor???

Ya es mucha la generosidad que muestran los desarroladores de linux como para que encima vengamos a exigirles. Sin embargo, yo pienso que podría existir un certificado Y2K para linux. En este caso no se trataría de asumir una responsabilidad sino de, al igual que sacan revisiones períodicas con bugs solucionados, indicar que el desarrollador ha comprobado que su paquete funciona en el 2000 (independientemente de la minuciosidad con la que lo compruebe). Sería algo así como incluir una nota en el 'lastchanges' del paquete que diga 'Y2K tested'. Creo que esto sería útil sobre todo como una propaganda para linux.

Re: df and du disagree
Quoting Patrick Kirk ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): df shows my main partiton to have 1.1 Gigs of data and du -x shows it to have about 650 MB. I think du is correct. I don't. You could try out filling it up as long as you do it as a user, so that you leave the 5% to prevent the system crashing. df reads FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 1.9G 1.1G 750M 60% / /dev/hda3 15M 1.2M 13M 8% /boot /dev/hda5 1.7G 1.2G 471M 72% /home /dev/hda10387M 281M 86M 77% /var /dev/hda6 3.2G 2.6G 479M 85% /samba Far from being a duplicate of the previous posting, quite a lot seems to have changed. You seem to have added 400MB to /, mounted different partitions and changed your mount points. I run slink and have just checked that du (as root) and df agree on Used precisely where expected (i.e. on static partitions like /usr) and extremely closely where expected (i.e. on /, and my combined /home /var /tmp partition). I agree with Eric - that with the confused layout, you've covered over a bunch of files which will be revealed if you unmount the partitions in the correct order. Bear in mind that du can also seriously underreport usage when run as a user because of permissions (whereas df is always right). But can I make a couple of suggestions: 1) Would it be simpler to mount all your partitions onto their own mount points at top level with fixed neutral names. Then create the directory tree you want with symlinks. As well as making it simpler to understand what's going on, it means you can mount partitions in any order as the mount points always exist. You just have broken symlinks for a few moments during the mounting process if you mount them in the wrong order. The broken symlinks make it much harder to write files which get covered up when you mount the next partition. For example, if I unmount my shared partition called foo on host foo, then /home becomes a broken link to foo/home and I can't accidently write files to the empty mount point. I'd have to write to /foo (the mount point), and the neutral name is a protection. 2) Repost after your partitions have settled in. It's frustrating for us to sit here contemplating your first query (which was to do with hda4) and then suddenly have the query re-posed with a new set of partitions (a root partition even fuller (it was already quote overstuffed) and no hda4).

Could I just ask if anyone out there has any 'post install cleanup' advice, particularly to remove some of the spurious pci warnings, I am not in front of the screen now, but the boot gave several warnings about 'ea-???' stuff, along with warnings about stuff missing from the bios, when I get back tonight, I will check it out more thoroughly. Presumably things like this: qlogicisp : PCI bios not present eata_dma: No BIOS32 extensions present. This driver release still depends on it. Skipping scan for PCI HBAs. eata_pio: No BIOS32 extensions present. This driver release still depends on it. Skipping scan for PCI HBAs. Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card! megaraid: PCI bios not present. scsi : 0 hosts. which means you've got no PCI bus or SCSI, and lspci not found, so PCI resource conflict not checked which I think you can only get rid of by changing the bootup script or running 2.2.x kernels which have the necessary /proc files. (I presume somebody thought 2.2 kernels would make it into slink.) P.S. I did take the option to remove the PCMCIA module(s) but there still seems to be some residue ? Starting PCMCIA services: modules/lib/modules/2.0.36/pcmcia/i82365.o: init_module: Device or resource busy cardmgr. I think that just goes away when you boot the next time (if you answer yes to remove). But if you're running slink, I don't think you'll have all the potato problems that Ethan mentioned. I usually check /etc/modules (and again after compiling a kernel, because you'll have different modules and built-ins) and customise such files as /etc/fstab. slink also forgets to cd /dev ; mknod gpmdata p if you're going to use the -R option to repeat your mouse in X.

unstability due to large scsi disk
Hi I have just setup a redhat 6.1 duel pentium file server with a 36Gig scsi disk and up till now everytime it reboots it comes up with errors on the filesystem mounted on the scsi. I was wondering whether anyone else has found that large scsi disks are unstable to use as a mainstream image fileserver? There may be a problem with the duel pentium server itself . ie. i manually fsck the scsi and fixed the filesytem problems then rebooted... when i went to log on the entire system crashed... the screen went blank, keyboard died, front panel power switch couldn't be used to reboot. i had to reboot from the power switches at the back of the server. Luckilly it came back up smoothly after that. So basically i am concerned as to the reliability and integrity of large filesystems mounted on scsi disks and of duel pentium servers with linux os. any thoughts would be appreciated
dictd is not restarted after upgrading from unstable?
It seems to me that dictd is not restarted after upgrading, although it might be that installing dict-web1913 for the first time is the cause. In any case, I am quite sure there is a problem after using some dict relating package from unstable. Did anybody has encountered this or has more info? I have restarted dictd myself. If someone will tell me what to look for I will look for more info.

hi there, It means that that interface is receiving all packets on the network segment. Useful for packet sniffers. It's a bad thing if a cracker has initiated it. That is what I thought. Is there a way to keep a cracker from doing this? The only person who can put the ethernet device into promisc. mode is root, if root is not comprised, people will not be able to switch the ethernet card over to this mode. Also remember that promisc. mode is only for ethernet cards. If you don't let anyone put a machine onto the network that could be doing naughty promisc. listening, then you should be fine.

Netscape mail timezones
Hey, There was a thread a week or so ago trying to figure out why Netscape was always stamping GMT times on emails sent from it. I can't find an answer for the problem in the archives yet, and I don't remember there being one on the list. Anyway I found the answer today when this started to bother me (I wanted my boss to see the how late I work! ;-). It wasn't that hard to find, go to http://help.netscape.com/, type timezone in the search box, the answer is the first result returned. The answer is here: http://help.netscape.com/kb/consumer/991108-1.html Basically you need to set the shell variable TZ to your current timezone entry before you start Netscape. The Netscape solution on the link above doesn't apply to Debian though. What I did is add the line export TZ=`cat /etc/timezone` to my ~/.bash_profile, so it gets set whenever I log in. Hope that helps. Chris Schleifer

Re: df and du disagree
David Wright said: Bear in mind that du can also seriously underreport usage when run as a user because of permissions (whereas df is always right). Besides files hiding `under' mount points, there is another type of file that is invisble to du. If a file which is opened by a process is removed, it is not really removed from the disk. As long as the process keeps the file open, it is a valid file (to that process). As soon as the file is closed, the disk space is freed again. Some programs use this fact to make sure that temporary files are cleaned up even if the program crashes: they open a scratch file, and immediately remove the link from the disk. Then the process has an open file that not even root can read (unless with a disk editor), which disappears from the disk as soon as it is closed. Sometimes this technique causes hard-to-understand filled up /tmp partitions if daemons have a leak towards a tmp file. It then helps to stop/start long running daemons to identify the problem.

Re: df and du disagree
I do not need to know what is using the missing space but I am intrigued as I believe du is correct.

I can type in all the commands I want, but I keep getting no access to such files. For instance, I would lie to install the Star Office from the CD-ROM. I follow the instructions given in the manual, but the Mandrake edition will not recognize the instructrions. What is going on. How can I get these applications into the system? Is there something wrong with the space I have still left (about 550MB). I am missing something for sure.

SMP support started sometime in the 1.3 series (1.3.3x?). Of course it didn't work very well until late in 1.3 (I think 1.3.8x?). At first, it only supported x86 processors. Although it's always supported many processors (I think never fewer than 16) until 2.2 there wasn't very much benefit to more than about 4 since the lock system wasn't very good. 2) What support Linux 2.2.* (stable versions) provides about SMP? SMP is much faster now and scales better. It supports Alpha now too - more or less, and Sparc too. 3) What are the main routines and functions in Linux 2.2.* that provide support for SMP?

Go to http://www.linuxhq.com/changes/2.3.html and http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel2.2/wonderful.html for lots of fun information.

// HTTP method configuration

I don't know if this is yourb problem, but if apt-get uses the same
conventions as (say) Lynx for specifying proxys then there should be a
trailing slash, like so:
http://193.158.21.90:8080/
Also, I'm not sure that the ftp proxy you have specified will work;
I believe that this setting is for an ftp proxy server, not a squid-style
cache. If you're behind a firewall that lets you make outgoing ftp
connections, just having `Passive true' may be enough.

So, the short answer to your question is, yes, it is possible that someone could crack your system, even with all the daemons turned off. Is it likely? Depends on what you have on that system and how bad somebody wants to get at it and how many people know about it. I doubt any cracker's going to spend hours breaking in to the average users system.

I find that installing the slink base from CD (i.e. going through the whole install process. not picking any task-packages, and going through deselect choosing the defaults.) and then changeing the source.list for apt to unstable, and then using dselect to update and install the packages works well.

Can anyone give me any tips or pointers to how I can do this. I can't seem to track down the ports/protocols that cvs uses, so I don't know how to change our ipchains script. Thanks, Edgar. from /etc/services I get that it uses tcp port 2401. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= dyer[EMAIL PROTECTED] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
