La mejor solución para mí es utilizar como método afio comprimido, que tiene la ventaja de que es una compresión archivo a archivo, por lo que si hay un problema en alguno no se corrompe el resto del backup, como ocurre con tar.gz. Aunque si lo que quieres es hacer copia de todo el sistema puedes utilizar directamente afio, creo que es mejor el camino tob, porque te guarda más información en tu disco duro de lo que has hecho, es más versátil, lo que escribe (si seleccionas ese método) es un volumen afio normal y corriente, y así siempre puedes recuperar la información con un diskette de arranque que tenga afio y gzip Saludos, Uno de los inconvenientes de grabar en formato comprimido en cinta suele ser que si no cabe todo en una cinta no permite continuar con otra. Por ejemplo 'find . | cpio -oBH newc | gzip /dev/st0 ' no se puede detectar el final de lacinta ya que el ejecutable que tiene abierta la cinta ya no es cpio sino gzip. Me pregunto si afio permite grabar comprimido sobre varios volúmenes. Para mi esto sería incluso más importante que la posibilidad de la corrupción de toda la cinta porque puede minimizarse dentro de lo razonable volviendo a leer la cinta y comparando, cosa que siempre hago. -- = Agustín Martín Domingo, Dpto. de Física, ETS Arquitectura Madrid, (U.

Estimados compañeros:
Quiero hacer copias automáticas y completas de todo el sistema sobre una
unidad de cinta.
¿Cómo lo haceis vosotros?
La copias completas son muy costosas. Yo creo que hay que alternar
copias totales y copias incrementales tomando el incremento como
los cambios ocurridos desde la última copia total. Siempre conviene
rotar varias cintas para no machacar la última copia. Cada instalación
tiene sus necesidades particulares en función de las distintas partes
del sistema atendiendo a su distinta importancia. Hay partes que
pueden requerir copias de seguridad frecuentes y otras que no.
Por ejemplo hago copias totales de /home cada cierto tiempo rotandolas
sobre tres cintas y copias incrementales de /home diariamente rotandolas
sobre otro juego de tres cintas. Cuando las copias incrementales tardan
demasiado hago una nueva copia total.
Otras partes del sistema saco copias totales cada dos meses, y no hago
copias incrementales.
Independientemente de eso una copia que yo hago una vez cada 15 días es
la siguiente. Pongo un limite de tamaño (50MBytes) y un número de días
60. Lo que hago es que los ficheros que han cambiado en los últimos
60 días irán o bien a cinta si son menores de 50MBytes o bien serán
listados para decidir más tarde que hacer con ellos. (Muchas veces
son copias temporales de CDs o cosas así que abultan mucho y ya no
sirven). Cada 15 días aproximadamente hago una copia de estas sobre
tres cintas que voy rotando.
Este último tipo de copia combinado con los otros que he mencionado
antes me da bastante seguridad.

[off-topic] Imagenes para/con rawrite
Siento el off-topic, pero no se me ocurrio donde mas preguntar :) Tengo un amigo que quiere crear una imagen ghost (se le llama asi?) para usarla como copia de todo el disco de unos ordenadores de un ciber. Se puede utilizar rawrite para volcar la imagen, que estara en un cd o en un disco en el servidor, a los clientes? Me parece que con Nero (de Windows) se puede crear dicha imagen, pero con sector de arranque y todo para tener un ordenador como nuevo cada vez que se vuelque la imagen? Si no, con que programa (de WIndows, de momento)? La otra cosa es que quisiera convencerle para que usara Linux en el servidor :) pero con que argumentos? El debe convencer a sus jefes.

Try using a simpler mail transfer agent such as exim. Sendmail is really for big sites that need a lot of configurability. You really don't need all that configurability or complexity.

For most dialups it's handy to set this; in your case, make it 'postoffice.pacbell.net' and also use 'masquerade_envelope', which iirc is an option in sendmailconfig.

perl and exim filter
I have recently been setting up my email on
the linux side and decided to use a tip that
I found in an old addition of the linux gazette.
Basically the idea is to create a filter for mail
leaving the local system. I tried to use it a few
times but the mail keep being sent back with the
following:
A message that you sent could not be delivered
to all of its recipients. The following address(es)
failed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIZE=1412:
host mail.inet.fi [192.54.155.189]:
553 hampaita.fi does not exist
Anyway here is the code in question.
#!/usr/bin/perl
while () {
if (/^From: /) {
s/.*/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/;
print;
last;
}
print;
}
while(){
print;
}
The idea is to place a reference to this on exim.conf and it would
be used when mail was being sent outside of the system.
I know next to nothing about perl and I'm not sure whether the
author may have made a typo or the syntax may be outdated. When I
try to source it I get the following:
bash: /usr/local/bin/mail-filter: line 3: syntax error near unexpected
token `()'
bash: /usr/local/bin/mail-filter: line 3: `while () {'
exim and perl filter
In an article in the linux gazette I found the following piece
of code:
-- #!/usr/bin/perl
-- $address = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
-- while(){
-- if(/^From: /){ s/.*/$address/; print; last; }
-- print;}
-- while(){ print; }
After naming it /usr/local/bin/mail-filter and changing it's
permissions (chmod +x ) it was meant to be inserted
into /etc/exim.conf as follows:
-- remote_smtp:
-- drivers = smtp
-- headers_remove = sender
-- transport_filter = /usr/local/bin/mail-filter
-- end
The problem is that it doesn't work and I'm forced to use
-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] bcfrF
which works but changes the address of internal mail as well.
Can anyone see any problems with this code. I don't know much
about perl and was wondering if the code contained any obvious
(to perl coders) errors.
It gives the following when I source ( . /usr/local/bin/mail-filter )
it
-- bash: =: command not found
-- bash: /usr/local/bin/mail2: line 3: syntax error near
unexpected token `while(){'
-- bash: /usr/local/bin/mail2: line 3: `while(){'

Without knowing how much memory your machine has, I would say you certainly need more than the standard amount supplied in a 486. Mine had 64 Mb in it, but had 32 at one stage which was okay.

Modules
Hi, i just got a cd drive for my computer and i was wondering what module i should install to use it? It is a 40x Diamond Data. Could someone please help me. I also got an internal modem.

Re: X on a 486
Don't throw your 486 away when you eventually get a faster machine. One day it will make a fine firewall. Apropos 486 and firewall: what requirements are there for a firewall / masq. gateway to serve a LAN of approx. 20 - 50 clients? I mean, I have seen a 486 25sx w/z a cable modem serve up to 5 clients completely fine. It has IIRC 48 mbs of ram and was using about 100 ipchains rules. Are there any tests / comparisons on this subject? TIA Sven
UPS - setserial - baud_base?
I bought a Tripp Lite Omnismart 1000 INT PNP ups. I have never before used a UPS and am now living in an area with frequent power failures. Now I have a few questions about he setup and software. According to the documentation The port must be set to run at 2400 baud, gety/login off, modem control enabled. The man page for setserial says baud_base baud_base This option sets the base baud rate, which is the clock frequency divided by 16. Normally this value is 115200, which is also the fastest baud rate which the UART can support. 1. Does that mean that I have to do a setserial /dev/ups baud_base 38400(16*2400) to get 2400 baud? (I made a symlink /dev/ups -- /dev/ttyS2). I have tried the baud_base 2400 option but setserial would not accept it. 2. Do I have to use the ^hup_notify option to disable getty/login on the port? 3. What is modem control and how do I enable it on a serial port? 4. I see that genpower and smartups are two Linux packages that have configurations for the Tripplite UPS. Genpower is part of the Debian distribution and smartups not. Any opinion on which is would be the best package to use in my setup? 5. I see in the documentation there was supposed to be a software CD with the UPS which including software for unix. I notified the dealer that the CD was missing and he is trying to get it for me. Will such unix software work on Debian Linux or must I confine my use of software to the abovementioned packages. Johann. -- J.H.

X windows in and out puzzle
I have noticed the following strange behaviour of my X windows: If I log in first as user, I can restart, quit it, without problems. It goes back to it. But if I log in first as root, when I then logout to afterwards enter as user, the X window doesn't come back, just hangs in a black screen -console- on terminal F7. The only way then is to type startx. But then if I don't add -bp 32, it comes in -bp 16 or so. I am using potato, xdm, afterstep. Any ideas?

I know next to nothing about perl and I'm not sure whether the

Re: OT: named cache
I've never seen any disk usage for anything other than master zones on the seven nameservers I run, if that's any help. Without having looked at the source, it would appear that named writes some temporary files during zone-transfers, and can be configured to dump statistics in a database-like format file. Other than that, the cache is not using hard disk space at all, as far as I can tell. I'm in the process of building a CD-ROM boot disk that has a live Debian filesystem on it and logging cranked down with logrotate aggressively rotating off the logs ... that all runs from ramdisk as a test of how to create cheap caching-only/forwarding nameservers.

Re: mounting cdroms
| How do I give normal users permissions to mount cd-roms? Do I add | them to a group?? Which one? Please 'CC' me in a reply. If you put this line in /etc/fstab: /dev/hda/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide then any user should be able to mount a cdrom file-system at /cdrom, with either: mount /dev/hda or: mount /cdrom The device-name will probably be different on your system, of course. If you have a symlink from /dev/cdrom to the real device-file, I imagine you can use that instead. The `ro' option mounts the file system as read-only. The `user' option lets any user mount the file-system. `noauto' means that the file-system is not automatically mounted at boot time (presumably what's wanted in the general case) `nohide' shows hidden and associated files. One caution: only the user who mounts the cdrom can un-mount it again. Hope this helps, Jim

Now I'm still having initial trouble with correctly setting the other distro's LILO to boot debian. Now, after having done all that, I needed to delete the defaultroute as it wasn't set correctly and as pppd doesn't replace a defaultroute that's already set. I did this by editing /etc/network/interfaces. I commented out the last line containing gateway. I just want to know if that's the correct way. Thanks for your support! I love this stuff! Sven
mouse-Xfree4.0
Hi-I just finished installing XFree4.0 over the top of XFree3.3.x. My problem is that I can't get the mouse to function. Configure detects it as /dev/mouse, that doesn't work. I changed it to /dev/psaux, like Xfree3.3.x, but this doesn't work either. Anyone know how to get the mouse working. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Greg

LILO boot problem
Hi all I have trouble setting up LILO correctly. :-( When booting LILO V20 (on other distro), I get error 0x02. This is when I try to boot debian potato from a different disk (/dev/hdb) using the other distro's LILO. (Other distro is on /dev/sda) This is what (part of) my config file looks like: # Start LILO global Section boot=/dev/sda #compact# faster, but won't work on all systems. read-only prompt timeout=40 vga = normal# force sane state # End LILO global section [...] image = /vmlinuz root = /dev/sda3 label = Normal other = /dev/hdb label = potato #root = /dev/hdb1 On /dev/hdb, where debian resides, I have set up another LILO config file and installed it and LILO into /dev/hdb and /dev/hdb1(this is the kernel-partition). What do I need to do next?! Thanks Sven
naming kernel images (potato)
Whenever I've built a kernel I've used the following syntax: # make-kpkg --rev tux.1.0 kernel_image where tux identifies the machine to me and 1.0 identifies which of my revisions of the kernel I'm dealing with. I install the resulting kernel-image-...-.deb with dpkg -i. I recently upgraded a box to potato, grabbed the source for kernel-2.2.15, and built and installed a kernel. No worries. But, # apt-get update ; apt-get -s upgrade offered to upgrade kernel-image-2.2.15 for me. :-( I definitely don't want that to happen. It's never happened before under slink, hamm, bo, or rex that I recall. Deep in the vague recesses of my memory I seem to recall an issue similar to this being discussed, with a suggestion for naming kernel images to avoid the problem. Details, anyone? Thanks.

From what I can remember, the article in LG never tells you to do that.
This filter is used by Exim, not by Mutt. Exim catches outgoing mail to

That's bash complaining, not Mutt, nor Exim. You don't use 'source' on the
script within Mutt or from the shell. Exim runs and uses the script. (if
you're not using Mutt's source command, or the I might be confused).
Have you restarted Exim for the changes to the config file to take effect?

anyway so I may as well say it). If hampaita.fi is the domain that's in the

you haven't restarted Exim.

Cfdisk + win98 + 8.4 GB = DANGER!
Okey...here is what I've learned, the hard way (no guarantees, but I'm quite sure about this now). 1) For large disks, win98 uses LBA mode. That is, the partition *must* be Win95 FAT32 LBA and not Win95 FAT32. (Otherwise, windows writes on your linux partition, which may cause severe file system damage) 2) In case you want to make logical partitions, cfdisk automatically reserves a primary partition for this, which it gives id 5, Dos extended. For large disks, THIS IS WRONG, because the LBA rule is here too: It should be id 0f: Win95 Extended LBA. (Otherwise, windows writes on your linux partition, which may cause severe file system damage) 3) There can be only one primary DOS partition and one extended (primary) DOS partition on one hard disk, or windows goes crazy complaining about corrupt partition table (might have been why win-fdisk integrity-checked my floppy...) I don't know if this is something I should report somewhere, but at least you know about it now. Spread the word. / David
Re: LILO boot problem
When booting LILO V20 (on other distro), I get error 0x02. This is Sorry, but the error code should have been 0x01 instead. Apologies. In a README I've found data on error code 0x01: 0x01 Illegal command. This shouldn't happen, but if it does, it may indicate an attempt to access a disk which is not supported by the BIOS. See also Warning: BIOS drive 0xnumber may not be accessible in section Warnings. Strange. It is /dev/hdb I'm trying to access that leads to the above error (from the LILO which is on /dev/sda). The machine has an on-board SCSI card. I can mount and play around with /dev/hdb fine after booting the distro on /dev/sda. An fdisk -l reveals the following infos: Disk /dev/hdb: 16 heads, 51 sectors, 1010 cylinders Units = cylinders of 816 * 512 bytes Device BootStart End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 4819558+ 83 Linux native /dev/hdb249 19258752 82 Linux swap /dev/hdb3 193 1010 333744 83 Linux native Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 131 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 11 8001 83 Linux native /dev/sda2 2748195 82 Linux swap /dev/sda3 8 131 996030 83 Linux native I have also attached the two LILO configuration files onto this mail.

Re: LILO boot problem
Hello I don't know if it would help you, but I got error 0x01...which was because I forgot to enable the disk in my BIOS. In fact my error is 0x01, as yours. In my BIOS I too haven't enabled the IDE disk. This hasnt been a problem to Linux so far as it bypasses the BIOS in many cases AFAIK. Now, upon booting I see that /dev/hdb has the CHS figures 1010 / 16 / 51. Even when using those, the BIOS errors telling me it couldn't recognise any IDE disk! The disk is a Quantum LPS420A-2. I saw that hdb indicates that the disk isn't on first position on the IDE cable, so I changed it to first, but funnily the disk still shows up as hdb when booting. This is weird, or am I just missing something? I did this as I the BIOS wouldn't let me enter data for the second IDE device if the first one was unused. Hmm, this is really tricky. Help is appreciated as always. TIA Sven

Re: TCP domain connection
It's probably nothing to worry about. But if they're zone transfers,
you can prevent that (BIND 8.x syntax ...) with allow-transfer in your
named.conf. ie:
zone domain.com {
allow-transfer { 123.456.7.8; };
};
Also, if you're worried about BIND security, you might want to look into
running it under chroot. I believe SecurityFocus and linux.com have
good tutorials.

Video problems during 2.2 install
I have a 20 fixed-freq monitor that uses a special Permedia2 video card. It works fine except for some DOS games that like 640x480 resolution (like Harpoon 2 -- it doesn't _require_ higher res, but it's a whole _lot_ nicer with it). The Debian 2.2 boot disk apparently displays some graphic of a penguin when it starts up the kernel (so I've been told). All I know is that my monitor goes _dead_ at that point, as dead as if I pulled the cable from the video card. There's disk activity afterwards, and if I put in the root disk after it stops, and press ENTER, it appears to load it into RAM. Still no display though, which makes further progress pretty much impossible. Is there any way to turn off this graphic so I can install 2.2? I can open up my machine and remove the PCI video card and disconnect the monitor, borrow a 15 monitor and hook it up to the motherboard's video and install it that way, but if there's a switch to pass to turn off the graphic, I'd much rather do that. I really hope that answer's not in the release or install notes or I'm going to feel really dumb because I've gone over them a couple of time now without seeing any mention of this... The 2.1 disks work on my machine, but absolutely refuse to recognize my UDMA controller and the hard drive on it that I want to put Linux on. I pass the proper parameters (linux ide2=0xfca8,0xfcba ide3=0xfcb0,0xfcbe) and I can see that the kernel finds the drive just fine as it boots (the partition is type Linux and formatted ext2fs). The install program does _not_ see that drive at all, though. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated! Larry

hi ya jon check that your telnet daemon is called /usr/sbin/in.telnetd grep -i telnetd /etc/inetd.conf remember that hosts.allow is read before hosts.deny so you can use positive or negative logic which ever file you decide to use... /etc/hosts.allow # # hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are # allowed to use the local INET services, as decided by # the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # # Version: @(#)/etc/hosts.allow1.0005/28/93 # # Author: Fred N. van Kempen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # # end of empty file /etc/hosts.deny --- # # hosts.denyThis file describes the names of the hosts which are # *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # # Version: @(#)/etc/hosts.deny 1.0005/28/93 # # Author: Fred N. van Kempen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # # deny everybody telnet access except: ( use ip# is even better ) # in.telnetd :ALL EXCEPT mydomain.com # ALL : ALL # # end of file restart inetdand try it if you do not want to muck with these files on all machines... allow/disallow it from the firewall... better still use ssh instead of telnet/ftp/pop3/etc/etc have fun linuxing alvin On Sat, 3 Jun 2000, Jon Hughes wrote: I am attempting to let machiens from a certain domain (mydomain.com we'll call it) telnet into my machine.

Editing the order of modules in the boot sequence
How do I change the order of loading for modules? I need to load my ppa driver before lp so that I can get my zip drive to work. Also, once the driver is loaded, how do I determine what device handles in in /dev? __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos -- now, 100 FREE prints! http://photos.yahoo.com
Dual boot problem!
I installed linux on apartition of 7GB using text installation and fdisk instead of diskdruid because diskdruid limited the size of each partition to 4GB maximum. I installed the PC with dual boot: winnt and Linux. When the system boot up, it only see Linux at the boot time. I was surprise that the system did not see the NT partition. I added the winnt in /etc/lilo.conf: ap=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 linear default=linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0 label=linux read-only root=/dev/hda3 other=/dev/hda1 label=winnt table=/dev/hda Then boot it again and the system still cannot see the winnt partition. This is my disk patition table: Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1245 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 319 25623367 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 320 344200812+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda3 345 1245 7237282+ 83 Linux I can see that in my first Linux PC (I used diskdruid) the patition table has an extended partition the size of the entire Linux file system. This is my first PC's partition table: Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1245 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 392 3148708+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 393 1245 6851722+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 393 802 3293293+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 803 835265041 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 836 1245 3293293+ 83 Linux You can see on the second one, I used fdisk and there is no extended partition. All partitions on the second PC with problem are primary. Do you have any ideas what is wrong with the setup? How can I make my PC see both operating systems without reinstall it? Thank you, Daisy
Re: Video problems during 2.2 install
On Sat, Jun 03, 2000 at 06:30:59PM -0600, Larry Elmore wrote: I have a 20 fixed-freq monitor that uses a special Permedia2 video card. It works fine except for some DOS games that like 640x480 resolution (like Harpoon 2 -- it doesn't _require_ higher res, but it's a whole _lot_ nicer with it). The Debian 2.2 boot disk apparently displays some graphic of a penguin when it starts up the kernel (so I've been told). All I know is that my monitor goes _dead_ at that point, as dead as if I pulled the cable from the video card. There's disk activity afterwards, and if I put in the root disk after it stops, and press ENTER, it appears to load it into RAM. Still no display though, which makes further progress pretty much impossible. Is there any way to turn off this graphic so I can install 2.2? Not sure, but I don't think the framebuffer is enabled by default (this is what'll load that penguin logo). Anyway, you can check while doin the installation by switching to another VT, login as root and look at /etc/lilo.conf. To enable the framebuffer, it'll have a line like 'append=video=vesa:...'. If it does have such a line, just remove it and rerun lilo. Otherwise, I'd say the problem is elsewhere. I can open up my machine and remove the PCI video card and disconnect the monitor, borrow a 15 monitor and hook it up to the motherboard's video and install it that way, but if there's a switch to pass to turn off the graphic, I'd much rather do that. I really hope that answer's not in the release or install notes or I'm going to feel really dumb because I've gone over them a couple of time now without seeing any mention of this... The 2.1 disks work on my machine, but absolutely refuse to recognize my UDMA controller and the hard drive on it that I want to put Linux on. I pass the proper parameters (linux ide2=0xfca8,0xfcba ide3=0xfcb0,0xfcbe) and I can see that the kernel finds the drive just fine as it boots (the partition is type Linux and formatted ext2fs). The install program does _not_ see that drive at all, though. ? -- ¶ One·should·only·use·the·ASCII·characterset·when·compos » ing·email·messages.

Don't know if lp and zip can work at the same time though... I think /zip could be mounted on /dev/sda4 (at least that's what the jaz drives defaulted to). lp would be on /dev/lp0 (I think -- 2.2.x kernels). There are a couple of HOWTOs on iomega devices. They may discuss sharing with a printer. -- ¶ One·should·only·use·the·ASCII·characterset·when·compos » ing·email·messages.
