Clusters, Beowulf y PVM en Debian
Hola Me gustaria montar un cluster linux con algun servidor de base de datos sql que aprovechase la disponibilidad de un cluster, y despues de remirar en www.beowulf.org y en www.netlib.org/pvm solo he visto referencias a RedHat en el primero y nada sobre aplicaciones en el segundo, si no tan solo la librería de paso de mensajes pvm. ¿Alguien sabe donde encontrar información para montar un BeoWulf o algo parecido con Debian? ¿Y un servidor de base de datos que haga uso de librerias como pvm o mpi? Ya he visto el paquete pvm y el pvm-dev, pero no he encontrado en main ningun programa que dependa de ellos. ¿no hay programas que hagan uso de estas librerias? en www.netlib.org/pvm no he visto nada más que el pvfs y ni si quiera tengo claro que haga uso de pvm.

Re: Clusters, Beowulf y PVM en Debian
Me gustaria montar un cluster linux con algun servidor de base de datos sql ¡anda! ¡que casualidad! ¡yo tambien! ;-) Hay una lista debian-beowulf pero parece un poco muerta Pero Ramiro Alba, (que esta en esta lista), esta montado un beowulf con debian. Seguro que el te contesta mejor sobre eso. Un proyecto al que el mismo Ramiro me remitio, es mosix. Es un parche en el kernel. Puedes poner maquinas y quitarlas del cluster con un comando. Lo que hace es que cuando un nodo se carga empieza a derivar procesos a otro segun un algoritmo. Posibilidades: -Que es comodisimo -Que segun entiendo, no hace falta ninguna libreria, ni reprogramar, ni recompilar, es un parche del kernel. -Puedes decidir cuando una maquina esta disponible o no para el cluster por ejemplo con el cron, o si hay inactividad durante x minutos (en plan salvapantallas). -Intenta imitar un sistema de multiprocesadores simetrico. -Que es GPL. Fundamental, pues lo hace una Universidad de Israel, y asi se puede revisar lo que metes en tu ordenador. Estos israelies espiando son muy buenos. (Este mensaje seguro que lo captura echelon, asi que sera mejor que cambie de identidad, ;-)) Las desventajas respecto al beowulf a mi modo de entender son de rendimiento. Ganas muchisimo en comodidad pero el rendimiento no debe ser ninguna maravilla. En el sitio veras una web hecha con un cluster de estos. Echale un vistazo y me cuentas que te parece. ¡Ah si! ¡el sitio! http://www.mosix.org/ Vaya nombrecito, me recuerda a los servicios secretos de Isr... eh, oiga, ¿quies es usted? NO, NO, SUELTENME.

No me refería a tí, con ese tú me refería a _todos_ los usuarios de Debian. En RedHat seguramente lo harán de otra manera, pero con los supersueldos que cobran de Debian los maintainers de gpm, fetchmail, apache o samba, simplemente, si no pueden arreglarlos, pues no pueden. Por algo lo de los Bug Festivals, por algo los NMU's. Si te sirve de consuelo, ayer arreglaron GPM, en medio de una flame-war en #debian-devel (algunos decían que el bug que rompe las X era un bug y otros que no). Los bugs de openssh los ha arreglado Tommi Virtanen, no Philip Hands, su maintainer (P. Hands dijo que estaría fuera y no podía). Ayer yo hice lo que pude para arreglar gnome-napster, aunque un desarrollador lo acabó por mí (espero). No quería decir que tu personalmente lo tengas que hacer, simplemente esto funciona así: si nadie lo hace y te interesa, hazlo tu (si sabes, por supuesto). Mira la gráfica de RCbugs, verás como caen en picado. Siempre pasa lo mismo, sale la lista con los [REMOVE] tags 2 o 3 meses antes del release, y nadie hace ni caso. Quedan 2 semanas, y alguien se empieza a preocupar por ssh. Quedan 3 días y todo el mundo se pone a arreglar bugs pertenecientes a otros maintainers. Creo que no es el unico caso en el que las cosas se hacen a ultima hora, jeje, yo lo veo todos los días en muchos sitios. Al ritmo de anoche, de los paquetes en la lista para el bug horizon, se van a caer algunos sin importancia (porque nadie está interesado en arreglarlos), ya verás.

Re: Clusters, Beowulf y PVM en Debian
Hola a todos: Bueno, no es que sea un experto en Cluster Beowulf, pero me he mirado bastantes cosas. Aparte de el software mosix, que para tus necesidades puede que sea la mejor opción (yo no me lo he mirado por mi cluster va con otra filosofía), el mejor punto de partida es el Beowulf HOWTO y sus referencias. En el fondo un cluster Beowulf son nodos en la red cuyo grado de integración depende de la aplicación que se le quiera dar. Una vez que estes situado puedes echar un vistazo a la lista de Debian-beowoulf, pero como ha dicho David está muy poco activa. En cualquier caso, consiste básicamente en la debianización de software que se utiliza en el cluster, tanto para gestion de sistema y procesos, como para ejecucion de procesos. Una lista de software (y más documentación, la puedes encontrar en http://www.beowulf-underground.org). Espero que te haya servido de algo, y de todos modos a medida que te vayas introduciendo en el tema podemos comentar/intercambiar aspectos concretos.

RE: Configuracion Samba
Si te refieres a que el guarrindous no se entera de la contraseña (perdón si te contesto con una cosa diferente a la que preguntas), el otro día me ocurrió lo mismo. Lo que hice fue decirle al innombrable que reconociera la clave en texto plano (que no viene definida por defecto). Para ello copie un archivo terminado en *.ini (Win95 noseque .ini ) o terminaba en reg (no estoy muy seguro pero es facil de encontrar en el paquete del samba). Despues instalé este archivo en el ordenador de Windows (con el botón secundario etc etc etc para actualizar el regedit. También hay que tener en cuenta que la clave es la misma que la clave del usuario, con lo que en el servidor construí varias cuentas que eran las que iban a utilizar la red. Por cierto, cada uno de los ordenadores tenían versiones diferentes de windows (98 y 95) pero no hubo ningún problema. Recibe un saludo: Juanma

¿Dónde pongo el boot de lilo.conf?
Hola a todos. He recibido algunos mensajes con ejemplos de cómo configurar el lilo.conf para 2 discos duros (yo tengo la partición de Win98 en /dev/hda1, la de Linux Swap en /dev/hda2 y la de Linux Native en /dev/hdb1) y creo que en todos instalais el LILO en el MBR, es decir, existe la línea: boot = /dev/hda. Yo creo haber leído en algún documento sobre LILO que es mejor tenerlo en la partición raíz para la instalación de Linux (/dev/hdb1 en mi caso, creo) si tienes otro S.O. en tu sistema. Pero como yo no tengo ni idea de esto, os pregunto a vosotros qué es mejor poner en la línea 'boot' de lilo.conf. Muchas gracias. Emilio.

How to install Zope products in Debian
Hello, I'm trying to install some Zope products, particularly Squishdot, following the install instructions of untaring the tar file in zope's root directory (/var/lib/zope) and then restarting zope (zopectl restart). However, the products never show up in zope (not even under product management). Is there something Debian-specific about installing zope products that I am missing? I managed to install ZPhotoAlbum only because it comes with a .zexp file that allows me to import it directly into zope. But there's no equivalent import file on Squishdot. I'd appreciate any suggestion. Thank you, -- Pedro PS. I'm running Potato.

Upgrading libc6 from slink to potato (no network!)

IMP Configuration
I have installed IMP 2.2.0 and am very pleased with it. It took a bit of figuring out the installation of imap, but that seems to be working too. One issue is still open. I would like the users mail data in ~/mail (which is Debian standard, it seems). I cannot seem to get IMP to handle that. I have tried all kinds of tricks in the setup.php3 file, but it does not give me access to mail folders in my ~/mail directory. I would be very pleased if someone could send me their setup.php3 file as an example. Also, I am having slight trouble with understanding the workings of imap. Very little documentation comes with the package. Can someone give me a pointer for some background reading? I would like to know things like: Can I still use a pop3 client on the /var/spool/mail/name mailbox file and imap alternatively? Thanks a lot! -- Erik van der Meulen [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's bad security for cgis and their associated datafiles to be web-readable. Yes, I know security through obscurity isn't really security, but we should at least make the black hats work a little to get at the cgi source. And how can you set up /home/user/cgi-bin to be web-executable if you cannot describe it with a web url? With cgiwrap, you don't directly specify the cgi, you pass it as a parameter to the cgiwrap cgi ex: if you want to run ~user1/cgi-bin/a, the correct url is http://server.domain/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/user1/a.cgi cgiwrap will take care of making sure a.cgi belongs to the user, isn't setuid, etc, etc and then run a.cgi as user1 And another thing I have been running circles around is: - how can I protect data files from being read from the filesystem, which should be readable from the web, but only after authentication?

FW: IBM Developer Kit for Linux, Java Technology Edition and Debi an (fwd)
Hello all, Sorry for crossposting, but I think this may be important enough to warrant that action. I have received the following letter from IBM. This states that in two weeks the license for IBM JDK will change so that it will not contain any restrictions for the usage of it on any Linux system (the ridiculous clauses concerning RH6 and Caldera2.2 will go away at the very least). I don't know anything about what the exact license will be, whether it will allow packaging IBM JDK in non-free, or only the installer, but anyway, there will be no legal problem concerning the usage of the ibm-jdk11-installer. I don't expect IBM JDK to go open-source by the way, so I don't think that it will go into main.

sorry for posting twice
And sorry for posting my previous message twice, but it took a very long time for my first message from a non-subscribed address to make it on the list, so I thought that they are ignored by the list processor. At the moment I sent my second letter did the first one from the list arrive. Sorry again, Robert Varga

SuExec(?) isn't installed?
Hello. This might be a stupid question, but how do I get support for SuExec in Apache? I've been browsing the Apache website and /usr/doc, but there's no easy explaination of how to implement it. I've noticed in several places that it is recommenden not to use SuExec, but what other alternatives are there if I want cgi-scripts to be executed with the users uid? Regards.. Andreas
Re: Lexmark 3200 colorjet...
You can try cat somefile.txt /dev/lp0 (/dev/lp1). As far as compatibility is concerned, the only thing I can think of is to search the archives, or go deja.com and search there. Hopefully someone else has a similar printer and can make a better (more informed) suggestion. Hm. Apparently, this printer should be able to use HP Deskjet 500/500c drivers under DOS. (Loathe...) But no reactions whatsoever. cat foo.bar /dev/lp0 gives no reaction whatsoever. Kinda irritating this. Anyhow, a dmesg gives the following: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2] parport0: Unspecified, LexmarkLexmark 3200 lp0: using parport0 (polling). And, utilizing the wonderful tool printop: opening device '/dev/lp0' at 22:02 printing job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' at 22:02 printing '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' starting 0F at 22:02 printing data file dfA562moonspell', size 151670 at 22:02 --- so far, so good, no reaction, then... --- finished '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', status 'JSUCC' at 22:03 subserver pid 564 exit status 'JSUCC' at 22:03 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' printed at 22:03 job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' removed at 22:03 .. and still no printout.

(actually, some form of printer test program would be a nice addition to debian... Go through all filters, and then some ability to select one that might work... :)) That'd be great.

Re: can't activate swap
dont know what else to suggest other then wiping the whole drive out, rebooting, adding a swap partition, rebooting again, format the partition and try to mount it. ive gotten that error and the above has always fixed it(if you've tried it try again- delete ALL the partitions on the drive). to be safe make sure the swap partition is less then 128MB (you mentioned 24MB for your setup? - newer kernels can support larger swap partitions but just incase..keep it to 128MB or less) make sure its the right type(82 linux swap). here is a couple of examples of 2 machines i got running: Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1108 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 115120456 82 Linux swap /dev/hda2 *16 197 1461915 83 Linux /dev/hda3 198 1108 7317607+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 198 379 1461883+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 380 561 1461883+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 562 743 1461883+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 744 925 1461883+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 926 1108 1469916 83 Linux and for a scsi setup: Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 554 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 *1 108 867478+ 83 Linux native /dev/sda2 109 554 35824955 Extended /dev/sda5 109 261 1228941 83 Linux native /dev/sda6 262 452 1534176 83 Linux native /dev/sda7 453 518 530113+ 83 Linux native /dev/sda8 519 537 152586 83 Linux native /dev/sda9 538 554 136521 82 Linux swap nate On Mon, 28 Feb 2000, FreeMan wrote: c-3 I also have rebootet before I formated the disk, I tried it thousand c-3 times, no matter what I did, I always got swapon failed - drive or c-3 resource busy c-3 I also tried other HDs, another RAM, nothing helped. c-3 c-3 you didnt mention that you rebooted, that message is very common when you c-3 do not reboot. some system configurations REQUIRE it. make sure you c-3 reboot BEFORE you try to format the drive, otherwise you will probably c-3 screw the whole drive up. c-3 c-3 nate c-3 c-3 On Sun, 27 Feb 2000, FreeMan wrote: c-3 c-3 c-3 I already tried what you told me.

Re: possible to extract .cab files under linux?

Re: SuExec(?) isn't installed?
This might be a stupid question, but how do I get support for SuExec in Apache? i just went through this a couple days ago. I've been browsing the Apache website and /usr/doc, but there's no easy explaination of how to implement it. all you have to do is add the suid bit to /usr/lib/apache/suexec. it should look like this for it to work. gotham(root)# l /usr/lib/apache/suexec -rws--x--x 1 root root 9916 Oct 30 19:47 /usr/lib/apache/suexec and then restart apache. check your logs and you should see a line like this if everything is working as expected: [Mon Mar 6 13:39:35 2000] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/lib/apache/suexec) if you are having problems with it working make sure you check the suexec log file which is in /var/log/apache as well. I've noticed in several places that it is recommenden not to use SuExec, but what other alternatives are there if I want cgi-scripts to be executed with the users uid? cgiwrap is the best other alternative, however it doesn't provide support for ssi's. i use suexec for virtual domains and cgiwrap for ~username stuff. adam.
how do I pick gnome-terminal's meta key?
I got a new machine and am trying to setup the same meta key to work under all of my programs. gnome-terminal seems to want the alt key and ignores the meta key, whereas emacs uses the meta key and ignores the alt key. So, I can't just swap them with an xmodmap. Is there a way to tell gnome-terminal to use meta instead of alt? thanks, -Cliff [EMAIL PROTECTED]

build raid on install
Is it possible to build RAID-1 on install before installing any packages. I was looking at the software-RAID howto, and it says to install linux on a single partition, then create your RAID devices, and then move the data over to the raid devices. Here is my setup: /dev/sda1 swap 64 Megs /dev/sda5 / 100 Megs /dev/sda6 /boot 10 megs /dev/sda7 /usr 700 Megs /dev/sda8 /tmp 250 Megs /dev/sda9 /var 350 Megs /dev/sda10 /home 7000 Megs /dev/sdb164 Megs /dev/sdb5100 Megs /dev/sdb610 megs /dev/sdb7700 Megs /dev/sdb8250 Megs /dev/sdb9350 Megs /dev/sdb10 7000 Megs As you can see, I have configured two disks almost identical. I want to turn /dev/sda7 and /dev/sdb7 into /dev/md0 which in turn will be mounted at /var and then I want to do /dev/sda10 and /dev/sdb10 into /dev/md1 which in turn will be mounted at /home When I read the software raid-HOWTO, it says install Linux on one root partition and then prepare those other partitions, but don't mount them. Then once you have a small running system, create the raid partitions, copy your data over, change you /etc/fstab so it mounts the /dev/mdx and voila, you are off and running. Here's the problem. I only have 100 Megs as root. I suppose I could install a teenie tiny system on this, but it would be nice to create the /dev/mdx devices before installation. Is this possible? brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/
