Re: Problemas con pon

2000-01-28 Thread Cosme P. Cuevas
El Wed, Jan 26, 2000,
Lluis Vilanova...

 No se  pq, al arrancar la  conexion con pon, no  se ejecutan
 los archivos almacenados en ip-up

$ cat /usr/bin/pon
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/pppd call ${1:-provider}

Ya ves que el problema no debe ser de `pon'.

Para  que  se  ejecuten  los  scripts  de  `/etc/ppp/ip-up.d',
debe ser  lanzado por  `pppd' el script  `/etc/ppp/ip-up', que
contiene la línea

run-parts /etc/ppp/ip-up.d


Y tanto este  script como los almacenados  en el subdirectorio
tendrán que tener permisos de ejecución.

$ ls -l /etc/ppp/ip*
-rwxr-xr-x1 root root 1942 Jun 21  1999 /etc/ppp/ip-down
-rwxr-xr-x1 root root 3119 Jan 26 08:18 /etc/ppp/ip-up

Para que te reconozca más de los 64 Mb que reporta el

El máximo de linux está en 2GB o en 4GB con las extensiones que
Siemens hizo al kernel (si las activaste al recompilar el kernel) . En
muchas ocasiones para que linux te pille toda la memoria tienes que poner
MEM=128MB como opción de carga del núcleo (en otros ordenadores no es
necesario, no sé de qué depende, la verdad). 
Eso en lilo se hace añadiendo al lilo.conf la opción
append=MEM=128MB o bien añadiendo MEM=128 a la cadena que ya tenga el
append. 
Con loadlin es aún más fácil de hacer, simplemente se lo pasas como
opción de la línea de comandos al loadlin.

  Gracias anticipadas.

Re: TeTex de slink

2000-01-28 Thread Jaime E. Villate
Alvaro Alea escribió:
 1º En lo de babel me dice que no esta definido spanish como idioma, pero yo
 ya fuy a un fichero y descomente la linea de spanish.
 pese a ello lo de Capitulo y las fechas aparecen en español, pero por el
 mensaje que dice algo de hypenations, creo que no me separara bien las
 silabas al final de las lineas.

Como te ha dicho Enzo Dari, no basta con editar el fichero de
hyphenation; es necesario también volver a crear los fomatos del
latex, plain-tex y todo lo que uses. Para eso hay una opción en el menu
de texconfig (escondida dentro de HYPHEN) o puedes usar (como root):
   texconfig init log.txt
confirma en log.txt (o en el fichero que te diga texconfig) que las
reglas para separar palabras en español hayan sido incluidas.

 El otro problema que tengo es con los dibujos:
 tengo las figuras que quiero insertar en formato .gif, ( el xfig, ni me gusta
 ni me entra en la pantalla )

Quien hizo el xfig debia tener un monitor de 19 pulgadas. Para los que
no nos podemos dar ese lujo, conviene usar:
  xfig -but__per_row 3 -pheight 15 -pwidth 20 

Yo trabajo en centimetros (20 por 15) pero puedes usar otros números de
tu agrado.
El xfig es muy bueno para hacer dibujos vectoriales, pero si lo que
quieres es convertir gif en vectorial hay opciones mucho mejores. Por
ejemplo instalate el imagemagik y usa:
   convert dibujo.gif dibujo.ps

 asi que con el gimp las conbierto a .eps.
 el caso es que en el fichero .dvi ( lo veo con xdvi ) me aparecen los
 dibujos ( aunque la lupa no funciona ), pero cuando los paso a ps con
 la orden:
 
 dvips -f file.tex  file.ps

Aqui hay várias posibles fuentes de error. Si lo de dvips -f file.tex
no fué un error tuyo al escribir esta nota, entonces atención que devia
ser -f file.dvi. Pero eso ni hace falta: dvips -o file.ps file

Otra cosa es que no conviene usar eps sino ps. Hay muchos tipos de
eps y lo que algunos programas definen como eps puede no ser lo que
tu necesitas. Es mejor trabajar en PostScript normal. Con cualquier
versión de ghostscript te debia funcionar, si lo que hiciste fué pasar
de gif para postcript, ya que no estas usando ninguna instrucción
vectorial sino lo mas básico para representar una imagen bitmap.

 Y por cierto, sabe alguien de algun sitio web donde pueda conseguir
 informacion en español para los muy principiantes ( ya tengo el libro Una
 descripcion de LaTex2e pero me gustaria mas informacion ), o una lista de
 correo para muy principiantes.
Ya fuiste a Cervantex? (grupo de LaTeX en español).

 Y para acabar ¿Alguien utiliza los paquetes o estensiones circ o
 circuit_macros ? para dibujar diagramas electricos en latex,
 le agradeceria que se pusiese en contacto conmigo, no se ni por donde empezar
 
No los uso porque tengo mi propia herramienta para dibujar centenas de
circuitos eléctricos de una forma simple (eso creo yo). Puedes ver un
ejemplo en mi página: http://www.fe.up.pt/~villate/psimage/
y si te animas a usarlo me puedes preguntar o pedirme mas ejemplos.

gnupg + rsa + idea

Hola!

Me he instalado el 'gnupg' (para ver que tal se comporta) y para
mantener compatibilidad con mi antiguas llaves me he compilado
tambien los módulos 'rsa' e 'idea'. 

El problema es que cuando le pongo que cargue un módulo en el
'options' me suelta un 'Segmentation Fault'. 

En teoría esto tendría que funcionar ¿no? ¿Alguien está usando todo
este tinglado?

(Ya sé que lo correcto es pasar del 'rsa' y del 'idea' y usar
algoritmos libres, pero ya digo, lo hago por compatibilidad con
llaves 2.x)

xscreensaver en potato ¿bug en dependencias?

2000-01-28 Thread Juan C. Amengual
Hola a tod*s,

Después de una actualización salvaje de potato a principios de esta
semana desde ftp://ftp.de.debian.org me quedó el sistema hecho unos
zorros. Entre eso, entre que no tengo ningún dato importante en el
portátil, entre que el gnome todavía no se entendía muy bien con el
wmaker y entre que quería reparticionar el disco y no me atrevía a usar
el parted o el ext2resize, me decidí por volverlo a instalar todo de
nuevo (sí, ¿qué pasa?, a lo windoze :), asumiendo que me costaría menos
empezar de cero que empezar a trastear por ahí. Bien el caso es que he
tenido problemas con dos paquetes: el xscreensaver y el communicator.

El del primero me parece un bug serio. Cuando selecciono el
xscreensaver, el dselect me dice que depende de un paquete (de esos
ficticios) llamado perl. Resulta que este perl depende del
perl-5004-base el cual entra en conflicto con el perl-5005 ... y ya la
tenemos liada (perdonad si los nombres no coinciden exactamente, estoy
hablando de memoria), porque si desinstalo el perl-5005 que es el que ya
hay instalado ¡se lleva consigo más de la mitad de las aplicaciones
que tengo instaladas en el sistema! Conclusión: me quedo sin
xscreensaver y, la verdad, me gustaría instalarlo (antes, lo tenía).

Con el segundo me pasa algo parecido ... me dice que depende de
libc6-bin ¡la cual es incompatible con libc6! Ya os podéis imaginar lo
que pasaría si desinstalase libc6 ... ¡adiós Debian, adiós! Conclusión:
prefiero decir adiós netscape y así pruebo el mozilla ;-)

¿Sabéis si lo del xscreensaver está reportado como bug?, a mí me lo
parece. Si es así, supongo que la semana que viene ya estará resuelto.
En fin, gracias por vuestro tiempo.

Saludos,

CUANTO GASTA EN LLAMADAS TELEFONICAS ?? DGCall LE ACERCA LA SOLUCION

2000-01-28 Thread info
Estimado Sr./Sra.

Dgcall le ofrece una solución para ahorrar dinero con respecto al gasto 
telefónico 
que Ud. o su empresa tienen.

Por este medio DGCall quiere hacerle llegar la información necesaria de esta 
una nueva propuesta, para que vuestra empresa los implemente y asi tambien 
pueda ofrecerle a sus clientes actuales y ampliar el espectro de los futuros. 

Como sabemos, el mercado de las comunicaciones, esta avanzando 
significativamente. Es por ello, que DGCall desarrolló IPStar 700 e InterStar, 
equipos que le dan la posibilidad a sus clientes, de reducir los costos 
telefónicos  de forma tal que podrá utilizar, el 95% de lo que gastaba 
anualmente por telefonía, en desarrollar y concretar numerosas operaciones 
comerciales a favor de su empresa. 

Por este motivo no dirigimos a Uds., para que en forma conjunta demos 
soluciones 
prácticas a las empresas de hoy.

IPStar 700 se conecta directamente al teléfono y la comunicación se produce vía
 Internet, lo novedoso y revolucionario de este sistema es que no necesita 
estar 
conectado a la computadora en ninguna de sus etapas de configuración ni de 
comunicación. Su modo de conexión se realiza a través de dial-up. 

InterStar se conecta a una línea de 64K o mayor o  cable módem.

A continuación le enviamos los detalles técnicos de ambos equipos, 
como así también el beneficio económico que obtendrán sus clientes 
al implementar este sistema.

  Yo estoy igual que tú. De momento me he dedicado a documentarme. Tengo
pensado comprarme un Toshiba apañado y me he suscrito a una lista de
distribución de Linux en laptops. Por lo que he visto, los mayores
problemas están con el módem, que suelen ser en realidad winmodems,
y en la configuración de las X. Pero estamos salvados, por lo que he visto
todos los problemas se solucionan.

  Te paso direcciones interesantes. Ahora no sé a qué corresponde cada
una, pero una va sólo sobre Toshibas, otra lista el hardware de cada
portátil y también hay una en la que indican cómo se configuran las X para
cada modelo

http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~npollem/linux-laptop/

  En una de estas dice también cómo suscribirse a la lista de distribución
de linux en toshibas. No tiene mucho tráfico, pero pasa muy poco tiempo
entre que alguien describe un problema y se lo solucionan. Casi todos los
suscritos utilizan RedHat, pero no creo que sea ningún problema

Re: problemas con lynx

Me da la impresión de que se trata de un problema de que no te has
actualizado debconf, una herramienta nueva en debian para gestionar la
configuración de los paquetes. Algo similar me pasó con lynx a mi también al
configurarlo y lo he mandado como bug-report, aunque a mí no me dió ese
problema.

¿ Por qué no mandas un bug-report a lynx? (Después de probar si te
funciona con debconf).

Simulating viruses with wine (this is totally serious;-)

2000-01-28 Thread Tassilo von Parseval
Hi folks,

after someone has obviously tried to distribute the happy99.exe (nice
try, by the way ;-), I just thought this might be the right time to ask
something about wine. As a matter of fact I have two viruses stored as
files ( I did not run them though ;-) and I am rather curious to see
what they *would* do if I ran them. Is there perhaps a way of finding
out when running them with wine ?  I guess this cannot damage anything
but perhaps I finally know what they were supposed to do.
So if anyone has any idea, please drop a few lines.

You should not send mail from your »root« account.  The »root« is a
login that bypasses all security protection on your system. The root
account should only be used to perform system administration, and only
used for as short a time as possible.

You should *not* use the »root« account for daily use or as your
personal login.  Why not? Well, one reason to avoid using root's
privileges is that it is very easy to do irreparable damage as
root. Another reason is that you might be tricked into running a
Trojan-horse program -- that is a program that takes advantage of your
super-user powers to compromise the security of your system behind
your back. Any good book on Unix system administration will cover this
topic in more detail -- consider reading one if it is new to you.

Please use adduser and create a regular user account for you and send
mail from that account.

If you haven't sent from a root account there is a chance that
our list server has inserted a line like Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
which confuses the lists software.  In that case please wait few

Re: Simulating viruses with wine (this is totally serious;-)

using vmware might be a better option - it creates machines that are
completely separated from the rest of your system. if you trash the
virtual machine you can just blast the whole thing and be on your way

only problem with this is the hardware requirements for vmware are pretty
steep - it's slow on anything but a rocket

Gonna hafta try it and find out, on a standalone box. My first guess would be
that wine would dump, but until it's tried, we won't know.

BTW, I'm not sure he tried to distribute it; I'd be more inclined to think that
he's not very security conscious. (He IS using windows, after all).

 but the version from potato has the line:

 I'm not much of a shell hacker so I don't know what @libexecdir@ is
 supposed to do, but evidently it's not setting the path correctly so
 frcode is not being run and updatedb dies without creating the file. 
 Guess I should file a bug report if I can remember how to do that.

Help with bootp

2000-01-28 Thread Brian Schramm
I am running Debian Slink fully updated.  I am working on hooking up an
Xterminal to the network.  I am using the bootp server as nothing more
then a nfs server so it does not have bind installed on it.  I have my
other machine maped as the firwall, bind, isp conection and home
directory.  

I have a very basic configuration in the bootptab file and have tftpd and
bootpd installed in the inet.conf file.  For some reason I do not get the
bootp system to even load when I boot the Xterminal.  I have even gone as
far as trying to load it from the command line to no success.  No error
messages (that I have found) have come up.  

I have configured other bootp servers before so I am not a real newbe to
this.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for the help.

As I understand from the dpkg bug, it should be okay if there is

 Are there technical reasons for not continuing to package the different

 as 


Mostly because there is no need.  If all the different versions can
be supported in a single binary with very little overhead compared to any
one of the single support binaries, why not?  Plus it allows KDE and Gnome

   communicator-spellchk-47 gconv-modules libc6-bin netscape-base-4

This is caused by the removal of libc6-bin (swallowed by the libc6 package).
W3M and netscape-base-4 depends on libc6-bin and will be removed when you
upgrade libc6.

I've just filled RC bugs against w3m and netscape-base-4 regarding this
bug. Until the packages are fixed, you'll have to deal with the situation by
hand (holding the libc6 upgrade, for example).

Re: system requirements for SCSI

2000-01-28 Thread Phil Brutsche
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

 I want to by a SCSI drive and controller for one of my older computers
 so it can act as an ftp server.  My understanding is that a slower
 computer can act as a decent server if you use SCSI since it doesn't
 require much from the processor.  Is that right?  Also, are there any
 minimum requirements?  The computer is a Gateway P166 with 32MB of EDO
 ram.

First thing to do is as more RAM.  Even a SCSI disk can go slow if there's
a lot of programs trying to read off it.  That way quite a few files can
be stored in the file system cache and won't have to be read off the disk.

I would also recommend that you look into the 2.3 kernel series - it's
less stable than 2.2 so it may not work for you, but the multithreading in
the file system layer has led to visible improvements in performance when
reading data off disks.

 It will boot from an IDE drive, but the files that will be available
 from the server will all be on the SCSI drive.

That's fine.

 Sorry this isn't entirely Debian-related, but I use Debian and I want
 to install Debian on this computer, too.  I'm thinking of buying a
 9.1GB IBM Ultrastar 18ES and an Adaptec 2940U2W U2W/S host adapter.

I would look into other brands of U2W SCSI adapters, like ones that use
the Symbios logic chips - they tend to be quite a bit cheaper (up 40%
cheaper last I checked) and work every bit as well.  Stick with the IBM
disk - you can't go wrong there.

 Thanks in advance for any input.

 Obviously I have not done it yet, thus the question.  I have searched

You can do that to0; that's what I do.

There is a reason why I like dselect (despite the wonky UI but I've

The key is that libc6 updated, and now conflicts with libc6-bin for some
reason:
| libc6-bininstalled -  ;  remove (was: install).  Standard  
| libc6 conflicts with libc6-bin
| netscape-base-4 depends on libc6-bin

The upgrade of libc6 will delete libc6-bin, which will removed
netscape-base-4, which will remove the rest of netscape.

Put libc6 on hold (which will be a bit of a fight, since you'll have to
put a few other things on hold too, like libc6-bin, libc6-dbg, etc) and
it should be happy until the dependencies/conflicts are fixed.

Also, /etc/cron.daily/standard has some find -name 'blah' -xargs blah

Did this ever get worked out?  Is there a newer version of find that
doesn't contain this problem the standard script talks about?

Hi,

From :  http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/nag/node42.html  ,

As described in chapter-, the kernel accesses a device through a
so-called interface. Interfaces offer an abstract set of functions
that is the same across all types of hardware, such as sending or
receiving a datagram. 

Interfaces are identified by means of names. These are names defined
internally in the kernel, and are not device  files in the /dev
directory. Typical names are eth0, eth1, etc, for Ethernet interfaces.
The assignment of interfaces
to devices usually depends on the order in which devices are
configured

For information concerning using the 2nd NIC :

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-3.html

http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/multicard.html

Yes, you will need to create an eth1 interface.

netatalk setup

2000-01-28 Thread Guyren G Howe
While there is a debian netatalk distribution, I can't find any useful
documentation for getting it working. Most of the instructions I can find
refer to compiling and installing it on Red Hat, and the instructions don't
match what I have.

I've tried searching the debian archive, but it never turns up anything.

I've also looked in the Debian documentation online, but that doesn't give
me anything, either.

man atalkd *does* give me useful information, but it doesn't work. Since my
local net is on eth1, man atalkd seems to say that all I need is a
/etc/netatalk/atalkd.conf with the string eth1. But I created this, and
when I try to launch atalkd, all I get is:

socket: Invalid argument
atalkd: can't get interfaces, exiting

Thinking I might need to load a module, I ran modconf, but there is nothing
about appletalk, atalk or anything similar in the net section there, or
anywhere else for that matter.

Yet when I do apt-get install netatalk, it says I have the latest version
installed.

So how do I get this working?

I feel too conditioned to type 'ls --color=always | less' in place of

I suppose an alias 'lsl=ls --color=always | less -r' does the trick,

apt-get and the ftp method

2000-01-28 Thread Lindsay Allen

apt-get using http works fine, but I have problems using the ftp method.

My sources.list shows:

deb ftp://ftp.it.net.au/debian frozen main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.it.net.au/debian-non-US frozen/non-US main contrib non-free

but apt-get gives:

elm:# apt-get update
Ign file: unstable/main Release
Ign file: unstable/contrib Release
Ign file: unstable/non-free Release
Ign file: unstable/non-US/main Release
Ign file: unstable/non-US/contrib Release

Err ftp://ftp.it.net.au frozen/main Packages
  Protocol corruption
Err ftp://ftp.it.net.au frozen/main Release
  Protocol corruption
Err ftp://ftp.it.net.au frozen/contrib Packages
  Protocol corruption

etc, etc.

There is no proxy involved and I can use ncftp to connect to the site so
it's not a firewall problem.  I have removed my apt.conf so it's not that.
I also tried Acquire::Ftp true; but could not find any output.

Potato and apt 0.3.16

Any ideas?

How to use 2 IPs and 1 machine

2000-01-28 Thread Patrick Dahiroc
hi all

i have 2 static IP address (actually i have 3 IP address one is assigned to a 
Win95 machine).  i don't know the best way to utilize the resources i have.  i 
was kinda wanting to make one IP to be used by my http server and the other to 
be used by my named and my mail server, but i don't know if this legal.  since 
it seems to me that i would have to assign two IP address to the same machine.? 
 any suggestion on how i could use the 2 IPs i have.

How to use ntp/ntpdate to fix my clock

2000-01-28 Thread Patrick Dahiroc
hi all

the time on my machine is seriously messed up - currently my machine is already 
on Feb 15, 2000.  digging through the package database i came across ntp and 
ntpdate and installed both (i have an always on connection to the net).  all i 
want to do i to keep the time on my machine correct.  so now i think i only 
need ntpdate when i try to run ntpdate it complains i need specify a server to 
ask. is there a list of machine that listens for ntpdate connection? where? do 
i need to get permission (something to do with auth stuff) to ask those 
machines for the time?

Yep.  BIOS (which LILO uses to load itself and the kernel) does not
like media with 2048 byte sectors.  If you want to boot off MO, then
you must not use the 640MB media --- any smaller ones, from 230MB

Re: Debian SAMBA

i reccomend you use the latest CVS build of samba, as it seems to be MUCH
MUCH better then 2.0, despite it's alpha/beta status.  I worked with 2.0
for hours trying to fix problems to no avail, installed 3.0 and BANG
worked perfectly.

you can get the latest CVS code by following the directions here:

Yes, unless you don't use lilo at all on your system. Even if the
symlink or the lilo.conf file changes, the boot sector on your disk will
still be using the old setup until you rerun lilo to impliment the new
configuration.

At the point in the boot process where the kernel is loaded, nothing is
available which knows how to check the symlink. lilo writes the physical
location of the kernel on your disk into the boot loader.

Is the Jan 27 version of Packages.gz for potato/main safe?

2000-01-28 Thread Eric Hanchrow
I've been upgrading my potato installation about every day for months,
and usually only a few packages get upgraded.  But earlier today, I
started my usual upgrade process, and pulled down the latest
Packages.gz file for potato/main, and (I use dselect) noticed that
many (thirty or more?) of my installed packages were now marked for
removal.  I was afraid to continue with the process, so I didn't ask
dselect to do the installation.

Is there something actually wrong with that Packages file, or am I
just being paranoid?

Thanks


CPU question

Hi,
I am going to set up a new server which will serve pretty much
everything except www. At the moment, it has a P166, and the
load avg is around about 5. The highest once reached to 22.

In Australia here, the price of getting two P550 and one P700 is
roughly the same. So should I get two slower CPUs, or one fast
CPU. Which case will the server run faster/perform better?

Thanks in advance.

The problem is twofold. First, libc6-bin has been folded into libc6,
which will remove netscape-base-4 (and the rest that all depend on that)
and w3c. The larger part of the problem is that xscreensaver mistakenly
depends on perl instead of perl5, which causes perl-5.005 to be removed,
which kills many other things.

The best solution for the moment is to put libc6, libc6-dev, locales,
and xscreensaver on hold until it's all worked out.

Re: help with dselect (on m68k)

2000-01-28 Thread dkphoto
OK, I've figured out (at least partially) what is going on. dselect is 
working just fine and so is everything else, except the actual CD. I gave 
up on dselect and rebooted, then mounted the debian CD and discovered 
that my system sees all the folders on it as just plain text files. 
That's why it can't find the directories when I direct it to them.
This is probably my fault, though I'm not exactly sure why. I downloaded 
the cd image from the debian ftp site and made a CD. I was sure to make 
it 9660 format and can see all the files and folders on it with my Mac, I 
just can't get to them with the Linux box.

Has anyone made a CD for 68K Mac from this image before? Is so, what is 
the secret. I tried making another disk at only 2x speed and that didn't 
work either. I know I have a complete valid CD image, I just can't copy 
it.

ntpdate is used to do a one time only update to your clock. ntp is used to
discipline your clock and will in fact keep the RTC in a short leash
updating it every 11 minutes.

If you're going to use ntp (not ntpdate), remember to get rid of that
systohc adjust crap in runlevel 6 (/etc/rc6.d, /etc/init.d; I forgot the
script name, I think a search for systohc --adjust will find it). It does
not play well with ntp most of the time.

If you use ntp, you must use ntpdate as well. Ntp will refuse to run if your
clock is off by more than a certain amount of time (which isn't very big
BTW, so this is a real risk). ntpdate is used to 'force' the clock to an
acceptable value at boot time, and after that you can either leave the RTC
alone or use ntp to keep it synced.

Ntp *requires* a reliable, fast, permanent internet connection for at least
four or five hours a day to work properly AFAIK (but it really wants 24/7
connections), as well as a good configuration and nearby stratum2 time
servers (it will work otherwise, yes. But not properly and you'd be better
off with only ntpdate).

If you don't have such a connection, restrain yourself to ntpdate. If you
use modems for dialup, forget ntp and use ntpdate. If you don't have the
time to read http://www.ntp.org/ and the docs in the package ntp-doc (which
you didn't read or you'd not be asking the ML), and search the stratum *2*
servers list for at least 2 near you (ping  300ms is a must. 100ms is
desired), request permission to use them (ntp will keep hammering them every
64-1024s, unlike ntpdate which does it only once), and deal with the hassle,
you'd be better off with only ntpdate.

 specify a server to ask. is there a list of machine that listens for ntpdate
 connection? where? do i need to get permission (something to do with auth

There's a list in http://www.ntp.org. You want the stratum -**2**-
servers, not the Stratum 1 servers.

stuff) to ask those machines for the time? 

If you're using ntp, then YES, you must request permission to use the server
about 4 times out of 5. If you're using ntpdate you should ask first, but
since ntpdate only connects to the server when you run it (i.e.: once on
every reboot, most people add a cron job for once a day as well) you might
get away without asking permission.

My advice is to stick to ntpdate, it is MUCH easier to config :-)

depends whether the load is cpu- or i/o-caused, in the former case you would be 
better off with a dual-processor machine, in the latter case you should 
probably spend your money in some celeron/amd/whatever cheap cpu and 
higher-performance peripherals (harddisk, scsi, maybe disk-striping...)

Is are there /etc/hosts.allow and/or /etc/hosts.deny files? What text
is in them?

The next time your try to irc and are denied, take a look at
/var/log/daemon.log and see if identd is either denying a host or
giving other errors.

 hi all
 
 i have 2 static IP address (actually i have 3 IP address one is assigned to a

 i was kinda wanting to make one IP to be used by my http server and the other 
 to be used by my named and my mail server, but i don't know if this legal.  
 since it seems to me that i would have to assign two IP address to the same 
 machine.?  any suggestion on how i could use the 2 IPs i have.
 
 thanks

For assigning multiple IP-adresses to one NIC you need the IP-aliasing
function of the linux-kernel. Enable support for IP-aliasing and read

ascii file conversion Mac - UNIX

2000-01-28 Thread Hans Ekbrand
Hi all!

Are there any program, or perl one-liner, that convert Mac ascii files 
(with CR only as line terminator) to Unix ascii format? I have only found 
the dos2unix proggie.

TIA

Hans Ekbrand
