RE: diald
= Original Message From Andres Seco Hernandez [EMAIL PROTECTED] = Hola El 21 May 2000 a las 11:03PM +0200, Javier Fafián Alvarez escribio: Sin mucha convicción por mi parte, creo que estás equivocado. Me parece que lo que para es el ppp0 porque la conexión se ha caido (lineas anteriores del log) y arranca de nuevo el sl0 porque es el interface proxy de diald que está como default gateway cuando no estás conectado a internet. No sabía yo eso del sl0, pensaba que era un dispositivo erroneo, entonces: ¿ Por qué dice: stop ppp0: SIOCDELRT: No such process ?, ¿ querrá decir que lo intentó lanzar y no fue capaz ?, quizá por permisos o algo así ? :-m No te puedo decir. Siempre me ha funcionado diald y no te creas que tengo muy claro porqué falla a los que os falla, pero me arriesgaría a decir que el SIOCDELRT es algo así como un error al borrar la ruta tras desaparecer el interfaz (seguramente usas kernel 2.2 y en estos no hay que establecer la ruta para la red de una interfaz cuando lo creas, y supongo que tambien cuando lo borras), pero no creo que ese sea el problema. Esto es posterior al corte de la linea.

descubierto que significa pero tampoco parece causar ningún problema. La

sources.list de apt
Hola debiandantes, ¿Sabe alguien si tiene alguna restricción el fichero sources.list de apt? Me refiero a un nº máximo de entradas en el fichero, o que deban agrupadas por tipo, o que tengan que aparecer los diferentes tipos en cierto orden( cdrom, http, ftp, ... ) El problema es que cuando ejecuto la fase instalar de dselect, o el apt-get dselect-update se me queda como colgado después de indicarme los paquetes que se van a instalar o actualizar, sin llegar a indicarme la cantidad de bytes que se van a descargar y sin preguntarme si quiero proceder o no. Si comento las entradas de 'cdrom', parece que todo se arregla y funciona. Saludos, Luis mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
gnome en potato
Hola a todos, He instalado la versión de Helixcode-Gnome que indicásteis en la lista hace unos días, y se la ve muy muy hermosota. Pero tengo algunas dudas: 1) Tanto en esta versión como en la que viene con potato, cada vez que arranco algún proceso manejado por gnome, aparece una entrada en la xconsole que dice algo así como neighborn table overflow. No casca nada, pero el arranque de los procesos se ralentiza mucho. 2) Me gustaría poder tener la ventana xconsole arrancada desde gdm, pero no he conseguido hacerlo. En la ayuda de gdm especifica que deberían introducirse entradas en unos directerios pre.. y pos... para arrancar lo que queramos. Mi duda es si aquí deben ir enlaces a los que queramos ejecutar o deben ser ficheros de scripts en los que podemos incluir en un solo fichero todo lo que queremos arrancar.

Re: Correo de Microsoft en Debian
Hola: Si no estoy mal microsoft utiliza un protocolo denominado x.400 para repartir el correo interno utilizando Exchante, si lo que quiere es remplazar este servicio me imagino que le tocara buscarse un servidor de correo sobre este protocolo o algo asi, de cualquier manera smtp es estandar para Internet y es la opcion mas facil de configurar, aunque imap tambien es bastante bueno. Justamente como dije antes, lo que no quieren es cambiar, pero al menos ya tengo alguna idea del protocolo que microsoft usa. :) Gracias, Camilo Alejandro. -- * De simio la conoci y he visto hombres que la añoran. * En lo que a mi se refiere, ni entonces ni ahora * perdi mi libertad.

El problema viene cuando se instala la actualización del paquete netbase. En este proceso, sale un aviso en el que te indica que debes revisar la configuración de los interfaces, pues va a quedar deshabitido todo por defecto. Como no tengo tarjeta de red, no le di importancia, pero resulta que te deashabilita hasta el el interface loopback, que es lo que provoca todos esos mensajes neighbour table overflow. El problema yo lo he notado con gnome, pero puede saltar en muchas otras situaciones. La solución es la siguiente: editar el fichero /etc/network/interfaces y descomentar la línea: iface lo inet loopback. Saludos, Luismailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Minor Samba issues
Thus spake Philip Lehman on Sun, May 21, 2000 at 12:15:19PM CDT When printing from either client, I get an extra blank page after each print job. This is mentioned in the docs but I'm only advised to check the printer config on the server and the settings on the clients, whatever that means. I just had exactly this problem a couple of days ago with a print server set up with a virgin install of Debian potato. The problem turned out to be in /etc/printcap. The default printer pulled up in the share is 'lp', which is basically a config for an old-fashioned dot matrix printer. It has no 'sf' entry. Make sure the printcap entry defining your share contains 'sf', which is 'supress form feed'. Adding 'sf' to the printcap entry fixed the problem for me. The printcap I use for may shared Epson Action Laser 1500 (which emulates an HP LaserJet III) is as follows: hpljiii:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpljiii:\ :af=/var/log/hpljiii-acct:\ :lf=/var/log/hpljiii-errs:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :sf: This basically says to accept a file of any size and don't add a blank page at either the beginning or end. If you're going to share a printer from a Windows box you basically want a printcap that's transparent and doesn't muck with anything at all. The Windoze driver will do all the mucking, and you basically want the printer to receive exactly what the Windows driver puts out. This printcap entry ought to work for almost any modern printer shared to a Windows box for which a straightforward Windows driver exists. The printcap facility in Linux is straight out of the 70s or 80s and is in serious need of substantial revision. I understand that some such effort is underway. -- Lindsay Haisley | Everything works| PGP public key FMP Computer Services | if you let it | available at [EMAIL PROTECTED]|(The Roadie) | http://www.fmp.com/pubkeys http://www.fmp.com| |

One alternative to my Plan is a.) yes, upgrade from Red Hat 6.1 to Debian Potato on the Pentium II box, but b.) install OpenBSD in place of Debian on the 486DX firewall box. Any opinions on that from anyone? OpenBSD is a very nice, clean system, its indeed very secure out of the box, its also somewhat sparten out of the box... (that is what /usr/ports is for) so far i have not gotten around to finishing up my NAT setup on my OpenBSD box (just been doing other things/lazyness etc) but here is some impressions/notes on OpenBSD: when a bug (security or otherwise) is found in OpenBSD only a source code patch is released on openbsd.org you must install the source code in /usr/src, patch it and rebuild the affected program yourself. this is really not that hard, the first line of the .patch tells you what it applies to. when i first installed OpenBSD 2.6 i had to rebuild, the kernel, libc, syslogd, and one or two other things, it was all just a matter of patch -p1 some.patch make make install quite painless really. the kernel is built somewhat differently then linux kernels are: on linux we configure it with either make config, make menuconfig or make xconfig. with OpenBSD we configure are kernel like this: cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/ cp GENERIC HOSTNAME vi HOSTNAME cd /usr/src/sys/conf/ cp GENERIC HOSTNAME vi HOSTNAME config HOSTNAME cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/HOSTNAME/ make depend make mv /bsd /bsd.old cp bsd /bsd shutdown -r now different but again not that painfull. also note that in OpenBSD (and presumably NetBSD) there is no such thing as a IDE/ATAPI driver, instead there is a scsi driver for IDE stuff, a bit strange but it does ensure that /dev/cd0a is always your first CDROM regardless of whether its IDE or scsi. (see you don't need silly devfs to get device file consistency) i found that the documentation on getting PPP working was OK but with just enough mistakes to make a newbie jump off a bridge, if you know what your doing and know how to read debug output from the ppp.log you can see the problem. OpenBSD's PPP includes ipnat making a NAT setup a bit simpler to setup presumably, the rulset seems to go into ppp.conf (i have not finished working this out yet) documentation on setting up NAT with dynamic IP's is quite absent (i may just get a static IP rather then fsck with it, i want one anyway) if you look at the docs on ipfilter you will instantly start liking it over ipchains, the rules are actually readable. setting up rules looks quite simple (unless you have stupid dynamic IP which obfuscates everything it seems) here are a few things i really like about OpenBSD: 1) Blowfish encrypted passwords with configurable number of rounds. try running one of these babies through john the ripper even the most crappy passwords (like `password') take over 30 seconds to be discovered by john instead of a split second like linux's md5 or old crypt. 2) STRONG crypto everywhere, in the libc, in the kernel, in the base system. everywhere, ssh, kerberos, IPSEC, etc all in the default install mm. ;-) 3) /usr/ports ;-) this is just plain cool, its also usually very simple to update a port yourself to the current version if its outdated. when you install a port its listed in the package list and can be removed with pkg_delete. 4) simple clean and unbloated default install. 5) sendmail is easily replacable with postfix or whatever MTA you prefer, /usr/sbin/sendmail is a wrapper, you configure what the real on is in /etc/mailer.conf. a sort of alternatives system for the MTA. 6) don't have to update the boot loader every time you touch your kernel. 7) shutting down services is very easy to do (there are not many to shutdown either) the initscripts are BSD style of course but are really quite elegant and easy to customize. though if you are attached to the sysv style /etc/init.d/foo stop you may be annoyed by the bsd style kill `cat /var/run/foo.pid`. there is no killall command (and if there were i think the bsd style killall does just that, it kills ALL) a few things i dislike about OpenBSD: 1) the passwd program lacks a built in cluestick, it will happily let your users set there password to any lame thing they want, including `password' `abcdef' `123456' and so on. there seems to be no way to fix this other then replacing the password program alltogether, which is not trivial given OpenBSD's Blowfish passwords and built in kerberos support. 2) no /etc/limits support, it seems the only way to set resource limits is by sprinkling ulimit commands in /etc/profile /etc/csh.cshrc and so on, not very convenient. 3) typical unix semi broken keyboard/termcap setup, delete key does not work etc. (Debian is the FIRST and ONLY *nix i have encountered that lacks this annoying problem) 4) the filesystem is SLOW compared to ext2, soft updates help but

Re: Please help - network incredibly slow...
A couple of general comments... You don't have standard PC hardware - regular PCs only have IRQs 0-15 whereas you're using IRQ 18 19. I assume that they are supported on your hardware, but if your problem relates to your specific platform then those familiar with your platform may be better-equipped to comment. The second machine you have seems to have a lot of problems with eth0 - 14 framing errors in 333 packets is very high. Have you tried replacing your cable/NIC on that end?

Albuquerque) to get help with my ppp dial-up. A young man named James
answered.
I told James I needed help connecting a new Red Hat Linux install to my
ppp dial-up and was there anyone there who could help me. James said
Linux? My heart sank. Then James said Welcome aboard.
For the next hour (luckily for me it was a slow support day) James and I
climbed up and down my Linux file tree like a couple of monkeys. He
covered every possible aspect that a newbie like myself might or might
not need to have a successful first experience. I was just about running
out of index cards to jot down his invaluable input, when he walked me
through the linuxconf 'Network Interface' protocol setup. He had given
me enough background for me to finally understand his simple answer to
my simple question! Many writers of Linux documentation should heed
James's 'method'!
James subsequently became the facilitator of our local LUG (which his
company whole-heartedly supports) and, very oddly enough, is also the
friend who 'bounced off Debian' that I mentioned in my first post in
this thread. He has come to be quite happy in Slack.
James is also my quide in the switch to SDSL, which, of course, I am
contracting through his company. Although I have been 'invited' to
switch to 'better, slicker, cheaper' services offered by other ISP's, I
have never forgotten that first Welcome aboard. from James and will
remain a lifetime customer of Southwest Cyberport as long as James is a
member of their team.
Well, I do runs on, don't I? Most ISP's get a pretty general running
down among Linux folks so I thought a 'different experience' might be
encouraging. Thanks for all your support and your patience with
montefin

apache question
i don't use inetd to start apache, i start it from a script which i can only run as root. if i chmod the script and try being any other user, it won't start. the documentation says you will have to start apache as root and then it will switch to Nobody, it kind of does, I get one process running as root, and about five running as Nobody, which I guess are the servers mentioned in httpd.conf. If i shut down the process owned by root, apache shuts down. apache doesn't mind how many of the Nobody server processes are running. Yeah But What's The Question? Question: is this safe? everybody everywhere always says never run apache as root, particularly if there are cgi etc running.

Yeah But What's The Question? Question: is this safe? everybody everywhere always says never run apache as root, particularly if there are cgi etc running. yes this is safe and perfectly normal so long as the children processes are not running as root you are fine. the parent needs to run as root to write to the logs and bind the children to port 80 but it will not serve requests itself. however one thing you should do on a debian system is chown /var/www to root and make sure its not group writable. also chown /var/log/apache/* to root.adm and make sure the permissions are 640 or 644. (you have to fix the apache cron jobs to not undo this change) for some insane reason debian leaves the www-root owned by www-data.www-data (the same user debian runs apache as) along with the logs. this is totally wrong as the web server user should NOT own files or have any write permission to anything. if it does then all it takes is one of those unprivileged child processes to be exploited and your web site can be replaced and your logs can be removed. bad bad bad. if you run apache as nobody instead of www-data you should be ok though.

but note, that this works only, if the virtual console was not switched,
so if {x,k,w,g}dm is run, this will be impossible.

Re: ppp connection failure - re-post
Quoting John Gould ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I am running potato with kernel 2.2.15 installed. Whatever
I do I cannot get ppp to connect to the local RAS server. Another box
running 2.1r4 works perfectly. I have re-built the kernel several times
and stripped out ppp and pppconfig and re-installed. Still I get the same
error on connect. Can anyone help? Part of ppp connect from syslog shown
below:-
May 18 17:32:17 heman pppd[666]: Connect: ppp0 -- /dev/ttyS1
May 18 17:32:18 heman pppd[666]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 asyncmap 0x0

May 18 17:32:45 heman last message repeated 9 times
May 18 17:32:48 heman pppd[666]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
It looks as though you're receiving nothing. Try dialling with minicom.
Do you need to type PPP before the other end starts pppd (i.e. before
you get lots of {{{ coming back)? If so, you need to amend your
chatscript to send this after a suitable pause.
Cheers,

Bug in installation of modules (network)
Package: Initial installation and setup on a PC Version: Debian GNU/Linux Release 2.1 (I think it comes up as kernel version 2.036 ??) When installing the Linux onto the pc and going through all of the modules to install as part of building the core, I found an error in the NETWORK portion of the load. I have the D-Link DFE-530TX+ network card in the PC and found on the internet somewhere that the VIA Rhine module should work for this card. The error occurs in the 'Configure Device Driver Modules' menu step - under the 'net' category of drivers. When you choose the VIA Rhine family chip Ethernet driver and try to install it into the kernel, you get the error Parameter documentation for this module is unavailable. When you hit return, you get put into the Please enter any command-line arguments for the via-rhine module. Here is my problem.. I have no idea what the arguments could be. I went to the D-Link page and found a link to a driver for Linux, but to my avail, it is not current. It turned out that the driver file no longer exists on the machine that the link pointed to. On the D-Link diskette that I have I found a copy of what looks like the driver and some instructions how to compile it and insert it into the kernel with the 'insmod' command. (insmod rtl8139.o) (source file is rtl8139.c compiled with gcc) The following steps to bind use the '/sbin/ifconfig' command on eth0 - to add to routing table using the '/sbin/route' command. The steps on rebuilding the kernel are also included, but are a little beyond my knowledge right now. I would appreciate any assistance possible on how to get around this - I just want to get my machine working on my home network with all of my other computers and printers.

Cleaning up the dpkg status file? [Was: Re: Debian vs Red Hat??? I need info.]
Ethan Benson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On Sat, May 20, 2000 at 07:07:00PM +0200, Wichert Akkerman wrote: That is a result of the fact that rpm uses a binary database for its data, while dpkg uses a large number of text-files instead. The advantage of that is that it is robust (if a single file gets corrupted it's not much of a problem), and that it is possible to fix or modify things by hand using a normal text editor if needed. this is a tremendous advantage of dpkg, it should never be changed to use a binary database. the human readable/editable dpkg database has saved me from having to reinstall a system from scratch when the /var partition was destroyed and had to be restored with a slightly out of date backup. dpkg was broken due to the inconsistent databases but it only took a little bit of editing to fix it. Concerning this databases, a remark and a question: after a long time of updating and upgrading, installing and purging, I've got the impression that it takes longer and longer time for dpkg to read the database before taking an action. When looking at the `status' file, I can see numerous packages which I installed and tested and then purged out again, many of them don't even exist any more in the Debian packaging system. Would it help to start up dpkg a little bit quicker if I clean up the database from all this stuff (and if yes, is there a automatic way of doing this)? Greetings and thanks for your answers, joachim
