uso del mrtg
Buenas. Me he instalado el mrtg para ver qué tal, pero me encuentro que cuando ejecuto el programa cfgmaker, no me rula. Me pide un nombre community, osea, el community name SNMP de la máquina a inspeccionar. ¿Qué nombre es ese? ¿dirección MAC, o qué demonios de nombre es? ¿de dónde lo saco? Es algo que me interesaría saber y conocer lo más pronto posible, ya que lo aplicaría aquí en la empresa. Muchísimas gracias por todo. -- \|/ \|/ Have a nice day ;-) @'/ ,. \'@ TooManySecrets /_| \__/ |_\ \__U_/
Re: uso del mrtg
Hola majo: El snmp suele ofrecer dos claves para acceder a su información. Generalmente la clave publica (no confundir con encriptación) te permite acceder a una información y la privada al resto. Por defecto, la pública suele ser public. Y con ella te suele dejar ver el tráfico de la red. Yo lo tengo instalado en el trabajo y vigilo un hub que tiene snmp. Saca unos gráficos preciosos que le encantan a mi jefe. Si tienes más problemas te puedo mirar la configuración que tengo, pero eso si, desde el trabajo, que ahora estoy en casa. ¿Has probado el tkined? Viene con el paquete scotty y puedes hacer planos de tu red, monitorizar variables snmp, descubrir redes, visualizar servicios que ofrece una máquina, todo ello con ventanitas, como gusta a los jefes, y a mi también ;-) Saludos K-charro Buenas.

Re: kdenetwork
Al final lo que he hecho ha sido extraer del paquete kdenetwork con el mc los ficheros del kmail y crear un paquete independiente que sólo ocupa 800 Ks instalado. Pero sería mejor que esto ya fuese así de serie, ¿cómo va la cosa en potato? ¿habría que sugerirselo a su maintainer? Supongo que será lo mismo. Si te has fijado, esa es la forma de distribuir las aplicaciones kde, por grupos. Asi que si te quisieras compilar el kmail, tendrías que bajarte las fuentes del kdenetwork. Pues acabo de ver que en la versión para rpm el kppp ahora va en paquete aparte... PD: ¿porqué es tan rematadamente lento el mc extrayendo ficheros de paquetes debs? Si quisieras extraer un archivo a mano de un .deb, te tocaría hacer un 'ar -x paquete.deb' y después un 'tar xzf data.tar.gz' (o algo así) deberías comparar la velocidad del mc con la operación manual. *** File '/tmp/mutt-fanelli-21709-68' From: Jordi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Lista Debian debian-user-spanish@lists.debian.org Cc: Bcc: Subject: Extraer en tar?

Re: Varias cuentas de e-mail
Tal día como Mon, Jan 10, 2000 at 06:57:28PM +0100, Alexandre Maneu i Victòria me decía: Supongo que este tema ya estara tratado, pero... existe alguna forma de poder manejar varias cuentas de correo electronico con un mismo programa, que a ser posible pueda leer HTML? Hummm! Supongo te refieres a algo parecido al Outlook. El programa de correo de Kde (kmail) posiblemente sea lo que más se asemeje. Y creo (sólo creo) que maneja html. Posiblemente también el Communicator te sirva. El kmail resulta muy simple de configurar y maneja varias cuentas; aspecto más o menos vistoso aunque sólo sirve para el entorno gráfico. También puedes configurarlo para el smtp de tu servidor si no quieres usar exim, sendmail o smail. Te viene en el paquete Kdenetwork y tendrás que tener instaladas las librerías del Kde, aunque puedes arrancarlo desde cualquier gestor de ventanas, por supuesto. Aunque en Slink el exim se configura solo; para fetchmail tienes la utilidad fetchmailconf y el ~/.procmail cualquiera te lo puede pasar. De este modo puedes usar cualquier cliente de correo (el mutt también queda configurado hasta para ver gráficos en consola instalando zgv y los html se los pasa a Lynx; y, por ende, resulta de lo más vistoso); filtrar el correo para varios usuarios y que cada usuario filtre su correo en diferentes carpetas... Simplemente dispones de más opciones con un ligero esfuerzo por tu parte. Eso sí, son varios programas y no uno sólo. Salud. -- carlos saldaña emilios: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Check out the IP masquerading HOWTO, on your favorite HOWTO mirror. it explains all the options you need to enable when recompiling your kernel (if you need to, i never use stock kernels for any longer then it takes to compile my own) it also goes over in detail how to configure everything properly, for both 2.0 and 2.2 kernels. potato and possibly slink have a ipmasq package which seems to work right out the box if your kernel is ipmasq compiled, though i think it would be a good idea to read the howto and go over those rules to make sure they are appropriate for your environment.

using openssh on slink (slightly o-t)
I just grabbed the OpenSSH 1.2.1pre27 sources from the openssh web site. I already had a working installation of OpenSSL (also built from source). For the most part OpenSSH works fine, but I have 3 problems with it -- one of which may be a bug in the Makefile/configure script, but anyway Really I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen these problems. I'd write to the OpenSSH list if it existed, but the only ones I see are for developers and for bug reports and I'm not sure I'm ready to file a bug report just yet. Anyway, here they are: 1) When I send the process a HUP signal, it is unable to restart. I see this message in /var/log/auth.log: sshd[21839]: Received SIGHUP; restarting. sshd[21839]: RESTART FAILED: av0='sshd', error: No such file or directory. Normally I would think that it was just a problem with the daemon's PATH env variable, but even if I use env to run it with a path which includes the binary's dir, I get the same error. Ex: # env PATH=/usr/local/openssh/bin:/usr/local/openssh/sbin:$PATH /usr/local/openssh/sbin/sshd I have looked at the daemon's output under strace and with debug (-d) mode enabeled but I don't see what file it can't find. 2) Though I set the pidfile dir to /usr/local/var/run, it still puts it in /var/run. Here was my configure line: configure --prefix=/usr/local/openssh --enable-gnome-askpass --with-tcp- wrappers --with-md5-passwords --with-pid-dir=/usr/local/var/run Is this a bug? 3) Lastly, when I enable UseLogin in the sshd_config, the daemon boots me out when I try to log in. Here is what I see in auth.log: sshd[22097]: debug: Allocating pty. sshd[22097]: debug: Forking shell. sshd[22097]: debug: Entering interactive session. sshd[22101]: debug: Setting controlling tty using TIOCSCTTY. sshd[22097]: debug: Received SIGCHLD. sshd[22097]: debug: End of interactive session; stdin 0, stdout (read 125, sent 125), stderr 0 bytes. sshd[22097]: debug: Command exited with status 1. sshd[22097]: debug: Received exit confirmation. sshd[22097]: Closing connection to 127.0.0.1 And in sshd's debug output: debug: Attempting authentication for user.

Re: About Exim : HELP ME !!!!!!
Why do you send the same emails three times?? Please consider that debian is a Non-profit organisation, and it costs them money! While I am willing to help, I cannot understand your question, and that is why I did not reply your first 2 emails. You said: Lorenzo Zampese [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am not able to send remote e-mails by 'Exim', but only locally. and then you said: When I send e-mails to internet, my exim's configuration seems to work fine, and then you said: but my addresses don't receive my e-mails at all. So is your problem receiving or sending?? When I run 'fetchmail' it says something like this : SMTP error, I can't relay mail for following addresses : paste a couple lines from fetchmail logs would be very usefull. Have you checked that exim is actually listening on port 25? telnet localhost 25 see if you can get anything... And what mda you are using to to deliver local mails? Procmail, or you simiply forward them to port 25? You might have a look at the FAQ for exim about the issues between procmail and exim.

The first time I did it was with ghost and I hooked up the installed hard disk to every client and mirrored it... Not a nice job to do and there must be a better way do do it! I know that ghost CAN use NETBIOS connections and such but I don't know how to boot it from a 1.44 flop and then use ghost. My question: I want to boot the workstation to be installed from a floppy with Linux or DOS. Then I want to make a connection to my server (or the installed workstation) and mirror the hard disk from a file (or hard disk).

Thanks for any ideas, Onno I'm doing the same with a 486 server and a bunch of 386 workstations, all IBM stuff with MCA buses, over a token-ring network, with small (~70MB-~200MB) SCSI drives. Basically, I made a boot disk that mounts a NFS filesystem over the network and chroots to it. That image mounts another NFS filesystem with all the Win95 stuff on it. Everything pretty much works, except the bootblock stuff (which I should get working tomorrow), and I have yet to add the small random-number generator that will assign a unique SMB computer name to the computer in a registry file that will be imported on first bootup. This all needs to be on one disk, because we all know the windows computers will periodically have to be scratched and reinstalled, and this is a one-time job for me, so I need to make it as easy as possible for those who will maintain it. If all your hard drives are the same size, you could probably just do a dd from, say, /dev/sda or /dev/hda to a file and back, and that would copy all the partition tables and the like.

In trying to install Enlightenment on my Debian/Corel machine, I've got myself trapped in all sorts of loops where apt-get, dselect and dpkg all refuse to install any of the things I need because they can't install other things that those things depend on. I've somehow managed to get my X Server uninstalled, and I can't reinstall it. I get several screens of errors about things that it can't install, and I can't find any way of piping this output to less or anything so I can see all the errors. The ones I can see say, for example, that things can't be installed because they depend on xfree86-common, which it doesn't get up to installing, because of these errors that come up first. I've tried everything I can think of. Just now, for example, I told dselect to remove everything. Then I told it to install xfree86-common. It complains it can't because cannot open help file '/usr/share/doc/xfree-86common/.dhelp' I've tried apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade, but I just get the same errors. I thought this whole package thing was supposed to make this stuff easier. This makes windows look like something well organised. Hlp! First, try dselect update ; apt-get -f -y dist-upgrade. It will cause hell and remove and install a bunch of packages, but it might solve your dependency problems enough to use dselect again. If you're stuck in a mutual dependency loop (I've gotten it with kernel-image and alsa-modules packages), figure out what everything needs, make sure you're right, and dpkg --force-depends -i the packages.

Re: New drive ready to partition. Just what some recommendations and suggestions.
Hmmm, does incremental backups sound good in this situation? Anyone? Regards, Onno At 07:44 PM 1/18/00 +, John Gay wrote: I've got some good suggestions, and apparently raised a few questions as well. Let me outline my reasons for asking and what I hope to do: I've got a CD-RW. I plan to use this for back-ups as well as software publishing. I've also got a SCSI tape drive, but I'm not quite sure how to use it yet. I've got / as a 500M partition. This is perfect for putting onto a bootable CD-RW for emergency recovery. Being new, I've already screwed up my system to the point where it wouldn't boot. Last time I had to do a complete install. I would like to keep the other partitions small enough to put onto just a few CD's each. Worst-case scenario, I trash a complete partition, I can recover from just a few CD's. This also makes backing up each partition less work. I also want to have a few partitions set aside for CD images. I would feel better having a number of smaller partitions that I can back-up and recover quickly, plus fsck would run faster, that just a few really big partitions and lots of sym-links to hide the facts. I've read the multi-disk HOW-TO, as it has some good info on partitions sizes and such. I've also read the FHS info as well. I know StarOffice wants to install in /opt, and apt-get uses /var quite heavily. I expect only three users, and maybe a business account, so mail shouldn't be too much. At the moment I'm more concerned with being able to recover the various system and user programmes before I make my next mistake as root, rather than and user data. This would indicate a good scheme for recovering /usr. Probably spitting it up may help, as long as my / partition would have enough to recover the rest of the system in case of catastrophic failure. Thanks again for your input. I'll have another read of the FHS documents and a good think.

Can't give non-root X access
How do I give access to X from anything other than root? I get an error that the user is not allowed to run X. I realise that this probably involves xauth. But the explanations I can find about how it works might as well be in Greek. They all talk about the name of the host, for example. Why should I need this when I want to just be able to create a non-root login on the same computer? Can someone explain for me, step-by-step, how I let my non-root login use X? Many thanks.

I have an Asus MB with UDMA support but it only does UDMA-33. I also have a quantum 13gig UDMA-66 drive. I was having some problems with it, and went to the quantum website. I found there a util which somewhat described a problem I was having, and there was a utility to 'fix' the drive to UDMA-33. This didn't actually relate to my problem but the idea is to check out info on your drives by the manufacturers and find out about what support the MB has. 2) I would also selectivly remove drives from the machine to see if another drive is causing the problem. Same ide channel? Different ide channels? Slaves / master conflict? The drives should work on your MB. There might in fact be a problem with the maxtor drive. As to UDMA support.. I am using the current stable kernel, and it does not support my ide chipset. So, I can't use UDMA support for my drives. But regardless, I can still function normally...

I am not certain if any debian packaged kernel has IP masq compiled in though, i suspect they do. Lastly, what is in the ipmasg package? basically a set of prewritten ipchains rules to protect the internal private network, prevent spoofing and to set up the masqerading. you install it and your done pretty much, i have looked at it and it seems sufficient. do note that it does nothing to protect the firewall itself, it works on the assumption you disable all its services. if not you need to setup some ipchains rules yourself (which i am now trying to do...) Thank you very much again! np -- Ethan Benson To obtain my PGP key: http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/pgp/
Help gettin' X to work...
Hi, i recently ran 'apt-get install xf86setup xserver-svga' and installed the svga x server as my default. After configuring it and everything, I tried to run 'startx', but it didn't exist. So then I went into /usr/X11R6/bin/ and ran './startx'. That's where I got the error: X: X: cannot execute binary file Then it just sits there. Is there anyway somone could give me step-by-step directions on installing a working x windows system with gnome and enlightenment? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot. Bye. Rob Hensley
Double-Image in X
Okay, I've struggled with this for two days, and tried to find the answer myself to avoid adding traffic to the list, but no go. I've just installed Debian for a friend on his Gateway P5-120 upgraded to P5-180. It has a 1MB Cirrus 5446 card in it. When I start X, I get a double-image, one atop the other (imagine squeezing your monitor's image to half-height, then making a xerox copy of it, then placing them so the bottom edge of the top image touches the top edge of the bottom image). I've tried running both XF86Setup and xf86config several times, both modifying the existing XF86Config file and removing it entirely and starting over from scratch. I've tried both the SVGA and VGA_16 servers. I've tried all manner of modeline configurations and resolution settings. I've tried xvidtune. If instead of choosing the 5446 card (or STB Nitro Video or STB Nitro) in the XF86Setup list and choose Unsupported VGA Compatible instead, I can get a working 640x480 display, but it's ugly and full of flicker. I did an ftp (apt) install from Stable, so whatever version of X is there is what is on this box. Thanks for any clues!
gpm repeating Intellimouse protocol?
Has anyone gotten gpm to repeat in Intellimouse protocol for X? I'm trying to get my wheel mouse (logitech forst mouse+ serial) to work with wheel events alongside my USB generic 3-button. According to http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/wwwboard/messages/93.html Zephaniah E. Hull (GPM's maintainer) says that the gpm in Potato (which my machine is running) will repeat into ms3 protocol. Unfortunately, when I set up X to use protocol IntelliMouse with device /dev/gpmdata I get the classic `pointer stays in top left corner and acts jumpy' behaviour. X works with MouseSystems protocol even when gpm is (supposedly) repeating in ms3 protocol. (gpm -t ms3 -R ms3). gpm repeating in raw mode didn't seem to work with ANY X mouse protocol I tried. Looks like a bug somewhere, but is it that potato's gpm is supposed to repeat intellimouse but doesn't, or is it a bug in my setup?

Re: Sound from cassete to mp3
Stephan Engelke writes:
What is the best way of transferring sound stored in cassete to mp3? Can
this be done without the microphone?
you should be able to get an adaptor cable of the form 2-Chinch -
3.5mm (whatever this type of plug is called in English :-). These
cables are often part of a soundcard package. If you do not own such
a cable, visit you local Hifi store.
Then connect your sound cards line in with the tapedecks output
sockets, hit record on your computer and play on you tapedeck.
Also take a look a the package gramofile. It was originally written
to transfer those old antique analog CDs (otherwise known as
records) :) to digitized form. I've been using it very successfully
to transfer old Jean Shepherd radio shows on cassette to mp3.
gramofile has a nice graphic (ncurses) VU-meter so you can properly
set record levels. The resulting digitized file is not an mp3,
however. It is a .wav. So you will need to wav to mp3 encoder. I've
used both bladeenc and lame. On my 486/133, lame seems to do a better
job for me. (I'm not sure if lame is debianized.)
Make sure you have plenty of hard drive space available. A 45-minute
radio show ends up as an ~500 MB .wav. When converted to an mp3, it
ranges from ~10 to ~17 MB depending on the bitrate you choose to
encode it at.
Typically the sound quality of a regular tape is fairly low compared
to CD's, additionally there is always some background noise created by
the tape machine's motors. You may be disappointed with the results
Agreed. Tape-mp3 will definitely not be of CD quality. However,
if you are willing to accept the lower sound quality or if there is no
CD available, this might do the trick.

help with ftp site please
I am trying to download a basic package for the 68K Mac from the Debian ftp site and could use some help please. Files seem to be spread all over with no rhyme or reason. As a result I can't be sure what I need or where to find it (and I've installed Debian once before and BSD once too). There seems to be a basic package that is not clearly labeled as such (just Debian) and is, to my way of thinking, way too small to be a full basic install. (About 14 megs stuffed, including the Base2.1gz file which of course was somewhere else on the ftp site. WHY?WHY?WHY?). The minimalist information on the web site also seems to suggest very strongly that there are no man pages included with the above package, but that the man pages must be downloaded separately, also difficult to make sense of, from a separate page. The packages page took me a couple of hours to find at all, then when I did, it made little sense. I opened the X windows page and found everything in there EXCEPT X windows!!! Unless the Debian folks have performed a Guiness class miracle in compact software design, Xwindows is certainly not contained in the Debian package, it also isn't in the X folder of the ftp site, so can anyone give me a clue as to where it might be? Why on earth can't they put together some basic packages and clearly label them?: 1. minimal system install 2. full system install 3. full system + Xwindows install 4. all the other stuff you might need or want thrown in a box Do they really think that someone wanting to install Linux might not want the man pages? Is that why they are off in some other corner of the web site? I can accept the argument, Linux is difficult to install. I can also accept the argument that, Linux is difficult to learn. But I find it hard to accept the argument that, Because they're Linux files, it is difficult to clearly organize and label them on the ftp site. Thanks for letting me blow off steam. And TIA for helping me make sense out of this gibberish. David Kachel

IBM PS/1 Consultant problem
Well, I'm pulling out of the mailing list, but I wanted to leave you all with the results of what I discovered after playing around with my settings on my computer and such. I found that no-way-no-how will Linux boot from the floppy drive on my PS/1 Consultant (486 based) computer, but it will boot and install from the Hard Drive just fine and dandy. I had to do an install from a DOS partition in order to install it on my system and then discovered that the packages I need to get it running on my system exceeded the amount of space on my Hard Drive that I was willing to use. So, I removed it and this is why I am pulling out for now. There are no BIOS settings that can be changed to eliminate this problem on this computer and I have no idea why it won't boot from only the floppy drive. I would like to thank you all for what little input and help was given to me on this problem and hope to try this again sometime in the near future. -Bradley __ Do You Yahoo!?

* mac/install.sit.hqx (StuffIt archive of the installation files),
or
* mac/Debian-m68k-2.1-Mac.img.hqx (DiskCopy 4.2 image of the 'rescue'
floppy), and
* mac/resc1440.bin ('rescue' floppy image)
* mac/drv1440.bin ('drivers' floppy image)
* common/base2_1.tgz
base is in the common/ directory because all the other m68k machines
use it too.
The minimalist information on the web
site also seems to suggest very strongly that there are no man pages
included with the above package, but that the man pages must be
downloaded separately, also difficult to make sense of, from a separate
page.
If you look in common/, you will see that people who are installing
from floppies have to download 7 (or 13) more floppies. Were the
man pages included, this number would increase dramatically.
The installation uses a bootstrap principle, where the first
rescue disk contains enough to run a linux system on a file system
in memory, which builds the small linux system on disk, which can
then download the packages (by ftp, CD etc.) you need to build the
type of system you want.
The multiple pages, or directories, are designed to keep the huge
number of package files organised into manageably-sized directories,
by distributions, licence categories, chip architectures, etc.
The packages page took me a couple of hours to find at all, then
when I did, it made little sense. I opened the X windows page and found
everything in there EXCEPT X windows!!! Unless the Debian folks have
performed a Guiness class miracle in compact software design, Xwindows is
certainly not contained in the Debian package, it also isn't in the X
folder of the ftp site, so can anyone give me a clue as to where it might
be?
I'm not sure what you mean by the X windows page or the Debian package
or the X folder. The X packages are in
debian/dists/slink/main/binary-m68k/x11/ but using dselect (which the
installation process automatically starts) avoids your having to type
all that.
Why on earth can't they put together some basic packages and clearly
label them?:
1. minimal system install
2. full system install
3. full system + Xwindows install
4. all the other stuff you might need or want thrown in a box
If the installation dialogues are the same for macs as x86, you
will be asked for a machine profile just before entering dselect,
though it's not obligatory to choose one.
Do they really think that someone wanting to install Linux might not want
the man pages? Is that why they are off in some other corner of the web
site?
See above. What appears to be a corner is the right place for
dselect to find it, according to your chosen distribution, architecture,
etc.
I can accept the argument, Linux is difficult to install. I can
also accept the argument that, Linux is difficult to learn. But I find
it hard to accept the argument that, Because they're Linux files, it is
difficult to clearly organize and label them on the ftp site.
The labelling is via the Packages files which are designed for
programs like dselect to read and present to the user.
Thanks for letting me blow off steam. And TIA for helping me make sense
out of this gibberish.
So the intention is not that you peruse the directories (though you can
do that if you're familiar with them), but to get the disks-m68k files
you need, and then use the tools as they present themselves.
Good luck.
Cheers,

BW vs color, bsd vs linux
Do I understand this correctly? netBSD will boot only in BW on the 68Kmac, while DebianLinux will boot in color??? Is that correct? David Kachel
