Re: XF86Setup para Dell Dimension

2000-06-09 Thread Camilo Alejandro Arboleda
Hola Carlos:
 
  - Dell E550 en Intel 810e chipset graphics driver (dc133fsb133)

En la página de Intel existen drivers X para el chip 810, pero me temo
que necesitarás las X 3.3.5 y glibc 2.1 (es decir: potato). Yo intenté
instalar los drivers de intel en un equipo con video 'on board' y no
funciono (quizar por el video 'on board' y no por los drivers). En todo
caso intentalo y cuentame como te va.

Suerte,

Camilo Alejandro.

de novato a gurus. Preguntas sobre redes

2000-06-09 Thread Juanma
Querido debianeros:

Bueno, la consulta, más que un problema en concreto, es sobre el tema de
redes.
Resulta que me estoy empapando sobre esto y hay varias dudas prácticas sobre
varios puntos. Vamos que es como el alumno que pregunta inquieto a sus
profesores.

a) sobre el tema de enrutado y pasarelas. ¿es posible hacer una pasarela en
un ordenador con una sola tarjeta de red a fin de enlazar dos subredes
distintas?. En caso afirmativo  ¿cómo se podría hacer?

b) Habiendo una red (con direcciones 192.168.x.x) que quieren conectarse a
internet y además tener correo externo e interno ¿como se haría a grosso
modo la resolución de los nombres? es decir que primero se resuelvan las
direcciones tanto de correo como de intranet primero y luego las de fuera en
caso de no encontrarlas. ¿hay que construir un servidor DNS? ¿vale con solo
configurar el /etc/hosts? Debo mencionar que la salida a internet sería en
base a un modem ISDN, y creo que se comporta como una tarjeta más de red.

c) cuando optar por DNS o por un simple /etc/hosts y /etc/host.conf?

d) otra pregunta más (y perdonad el abuso de confianza) es el siguiente:
como lamentablemente todavía se sigue apostando por puestos con el SO
innombrable (si se le puede llamar SO), en el /etc/hosts ¿habría que definir
todos los puestos en sus lineas?

Seguro que me quedan más preguntas en el tintero pero por el momento a ver
si puedo ir saliendo del atasco. Estoy leyendo varios manuales, entre ellos
el que nos ha traducido LUCAS (y gracias a su traducción me entero de algo,
porque yo de inglés no sé casi nada).

Recibid mi gratitud.

   Subject:Gnome, Mount, winSOSnt y Novell
  
   Hola Lista !!
  
   Uso el windowmaker y recien instale el gnome, pregunto: ¿existe alguna
   forma de que cada vez que inicie mi pc y carge el windowmaker tambien se
   cargue el gnome ?? como lo hago ??
  
edita el fichero ~/.xinitrc
(puedes encontrar el xinitrc por defecto en /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
 


Hola a tod*s,

vamos por partes:

1) Gnome: No sé porqué la gente tiende a crear un fichero .xinitrc en su $HOME. 
Pregunto
entonces, ¿para qué está el Xsession? Me explico, el fichero general 
/etc/X11/Xsession es
el que se ejecuta cuando lanzas una sesión X (bien con startx, xdm, gdm o lo 
que sea, pero
¡ojo! sesión X, ya que gdm, por ejemplo, permite lanzar bien una sesión X, bien 
una sesión
Gnome). El comportamiento general de cualquier sesión X que se abra en un host 
se controla,
como root, editando el fichero /etc/X11/Xsession.options. En particular, 
llamo vuestra
atención sobre la opción allow-user-xsession ... extraído del man de 
Xsession.options:

If  users  have an executable file called .xsession in their home directories, 
the file will
be executed instead of the default actions at the end of /etc/X11/Xsession.

En mi máquina yo tengo definida esta opción y, luego, en mi $HOME, tengo el 
siguiente
.xsession:

#!/bin/sh

# This starts pland on login.
if [ -x /usr/bin/pland ]
then
/usr/bin/pland -k
else
echo 2 AVISO: No se encontró el demonio pland
fi

### Put here background apps to start

### Put here your session manager app
# Do not put it in background, or it wouldn't be a session manager
/usr/bin/X11/wmaker

### Kill pland after session was terminated
if [ -x /usr/bin/pland ]
then
/usr/bin/pland -K
fi

Para lanzar una sesión gnome, basta con cambiar la línea /usr/bin/X11/wmaker 
por estas dos:

pon_aquí_tu_gestor_de_ventanas_compatible_con_gnome_favorito  (en background)
exec /usr/bin/gnome-session

(algún día os contaré cómo usando el fichero autostart de wmaker y una macro 
de gawk
consigo que al hacer login en el xdm se me coloque automáticamente un tema de 
wmaker
elegido al azar entre todos los que tengo)

2) Mount: fichero /etc/fstab, opción de montaje auto. Ver man mount y man 
fstab

3) Novell: Hay una opción en el kernel (serie 2.2) que permite dar soporte al 
protocolo de
Novell (IPX). Es algo así como CONFIG_IPX. Te recomiendo que uses make 
xconfig (si tienes
TCL/TK instalado) para elegir las opciones de compilación. Esto lo encontrarás 
en Networking
Options; The IPX protocol.

Perdón por el rollo.

RE: Gnome, Mount, winSOSnt y Novell

2000-06-09 Thread Joaquin Fenandez Piqueras
Buenas,
yo tb tengo Gnome y Wmaker, y lo hago todavia mas facil. Haces que la
variable WINDOWMANAGER apunte a gnome-session, por ejemplo:
WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
y despues desde la herramienta de configuración del gnome, eliges que
arranque wmaker. De esta forma da muchos menos problemas, ya que el gnome se
encarga de gestionar al wmaker y no te pasan historias como tener que cerrar
los dos escritorios por separado, o que se peleen por poner el fondo de
pantalla.
Por defecto el gnome viene arrancando enlightenment, pero como ya he dicho
en la configuración se puede elegir wmaker (si lo tienes instalado) y
yasta!!!

TA LUEG.

 a) sobre el tema de enrutado y pasarelas. ¿es posible hacer una pasarela en
 un ordenador con una sola tarjeta de red a fin de enlazar dos subredes
 distintas?. En caso afirmativo  ¿cómo se podría hacer?

No lo he probado nunca, pero si usas ip-aliasing deberia funcionar. Al fin y
al cabo, lo que haces es crear varios interfaces de red sobre el mismo
dispositivo fisico, y a partir de ahi continuas como si se tratase de tarjetas
diferentes.

 b) Habiendo una red (con direcciones 192.168.x.x) que quieren conectarse a
 internet y además tener correo externo e interno ¿como se haría a grosso
 modo la resolución de los nombres? es decir que primero se resuelvan las

Yo optaria por hacer al Linux servidor de todo tipo de correo, y jugar con la 
reescritura de direcciones del remitente para el correo saliente. No se si el
servidor DNS seria obligatorio, pero yo lo pondria de todos modos: te ahorras
muchos problemas a la larga, y no te digo nada lo que es ahorrarse el fichero
hosts en todos los clientes.

 c) cuando optar por DNS o por un simple /etc/hosts y /etc/host.conf?

Salvo que sean muy muy pocos clientes, y no uses ningun servicio que resuelva
obligatoriamente por DNS, siempre pondria DNS.

 d) otra pregunta más (y perdonad el abuso de confianza) es el siguiente:
 como lamentablemente todavía se sigue apostando por puestos con el SO
 innombrable (si se le puede llamar SO), en el /etc/hosts ¿habría que definir
 todos los puestos en sus lineas?

Si te pones un servidor DNS y se lo encasquetas como DNS a los clientes, te

Re: Te reenvio esto: New Debian Maintainers ...

2000-06-09 Thread Javier Fdz-Sanguino Pen~a

En realidad depende:

- para paquetes dependerá de cuanto de populares sean, que va en
proporción al número de bugs que encuentras de ellos. Y también depende de
las ganas que tengas de crear nuevos.
- para otras cosas (documentación, traducciones) depende de lo que
quieras hacer (coordinar, colaborar)...
- para las listas depende de lo activo que quieras ser, y si quieres
discutir o sólo oír cosas.

O sea, que para responderte rápidamente: el tiempo que cada uno
quiera. Te contaré mi situación personal:

Yo ahora estoy terminando el PFC y leo/respondo las listas en una
media hora al día, como mucho, los paquetes casi no puedo tocarlos y no
estoy arreglando muchos bugs (a lo mejor les dedico una tarde o dos al mes
a los que mantengo , que son unos cuantos pero no tienen muchos cambios).
Con respecto a la coordinación de la traducción, como,
lamentablemente, no hay mucha gente colaborando ahora mismo, y yo no me
puedo traducir el web entero, le dedico una hora o dos al mes.

Eso es ahora, que mi objetivo es terminar el PFC. Ha habido rachas
en que le he dedicado una o dos tardes semanales, y tenía tiempo para hacer
nuevos paquetes a porrillo y traducir algunas partes de documentación y del
servidor de WWW.

Sobre conocimientos mínimos depende de la tarea. Un desarrollador no
tiene por qué mantener paquetes, pero si lo hace es reconmendable
conocimientos del lenguaje de programación de los programas (generalmente C,
aunque pueda ser Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, C++, Java...), de herramientas de
configuración (autoconf, automake) y de la política de Debian en cuanto a
paquetes. Un desarrollador que ayude en la tarea de traducción no necesita
saber tantas cosas de bajo nivel. Un desarrollador que colabore con paquetes
*específicos* de Debian (i.e. bootfloppies) tiene que saber *programar* (más
que meterle mano) en el lenguaje de programación de éstos... así como
conocer las librerías que se vayan a usar.

Como antes he dicho, depende de la contribución que cada uno quiera
hacer. Las puertas no están cerradas a nadie y en la puerta de admisión de
solicitudes no pone imprescindible conocimientos de C/C++ :P

Un saludo

booteo directo

Muchachos he compartido mi PC c on dos sistemas 
operativos el amigo LINUX 2.3 en una particion (que ya estaba)
en otra el BEOS 5 (nuevo). Por otro lado recomiendo que lo
prueben ya que tiene un par emuladores que hace que uno pueda
correr programas Linux y Win95, por lo que gente como 
nosotros cansados de estar obligados a usar cosas de MicroSoft 
hay otra alternativa mas ha nuestro querido LINUX, y lo mejor
la edicion personal viene grata en varias revistas.

Pero cuando termine de instalarlo me cambio el LILO por otro
perteneciente a BEOS que me resulta mucha mas simpatico e intuitivo 
(muy parecido a BOOT Magic, pero integrado al Sistema Operativo)
por lo que quiero volver a usar el LINUX pero no puedo por que le
cambie el boot sector y se queda sin poder acceder al rigido, y ya me
canse de tener que bootear a diskete.

Asi la cuestion es esta, quiero bootear a LINUX pero conservar este

Debian diz nao ao software nao livre. (fwd)

Prestem atenção que o subject refere-se aos softwares NÃO LIVRE.
Concordo 100% com a Debian em boicotar empresas como Sun que usam a
política software livre, estou contigo e não abro (thanks to Maçan pela
excelente frase).

Fonte: Slashdot.org , postado em Fri Jun 9 12:20:53 2000 

Uma resolução da organização que coordena o
desenvolvimento da distribuição Debian
pretende retirar dos arquivos todos os softwares
que não sejam completamente livres. Na
prática, isto significa que usuários Debian que não
sejam ativistas do movimento do software
livre terão que obter pacotes conhecidos e
tradicionais como o xv, Netscape, mySQL e pine de
outras fontes - ou adotar alternativas como o ee,
Mozilla, PostgreSQL e mutt,
respectivamente. O assunto é controverso, e por um
lado não dá para deixar de admirar a
Debian pelo seu espírito idealista de software
livre. Mas por outro lado, estes pacotes já fazem
parte do panorama do Linux e podem fazer falta para
muitos usuários que escolhem o Debian
não por ser a mais livre das distribuições, e sim
por sua excelente qualidade.

I don't know about you, but I never got a non-free cd with my official
Debian cd's. Non-free has never been a part of official Debian releases
AFAIK.

I paid a 3rd party seperately for a CD-R containing the non-free deb's.
Before that I just downloaded a few over my 33.6k dialup. My official
Slink cd's contain only main and contrib.

The non-free section is only connected with the official Debian via its
online distribution (ie debian ftp sites and mirrors) and the bug
tracking system, both of which would be affected by this GR. The debs
themselves would still be free to exist - just not on the debian
servers.

i look at the 'success' of RedHat's contrib, and shudder. Some packages
are good, but some are very bad, and usually there's multiple variations
of the same package done by different people. One of Debian's strengths
is that, although anyone _can_ make a deb, most don't have to because so
much is included in the Debian system or associated and packaged by
official developers.

 It does not have to be a commercial operation. I use LyX a lot. I also
 use a lot of other software packages that are not DFSG-free. However,
 LyX will eventually be GPL clean when it can link against GTK.

Umm, LyX is DFSG compliant, it uses a modified GPL (the you may not
link against closed source code sections were removed, check
/usr/doc/lyx/copyright). It's only in contrib because it currently links
to something non-free; otherwise, it'd be non-free or KDEd itself.

If we strike out not only non-free, we'll lose programs like LyX that
depend on non-free, and others that are licensed to be not only libre
but gratis as well. Yes, they can be installed to /usr/local, but that
loses the advantages of Debian packages: managed through a common
interface (apt) and very likely to work well with Debian.

 Other packages may follow suit because the developers want to be
 included inside Debian.

I'd support this GR if it didn't remove needed functionality that
currently exists only in non-free. Make vrms standard, put non-free on
non-free.debian.org, whatever, but keep the ability for Debian
maintainers to provide packages that _officially_ work with the Debian
system, with a centralized place to report bugs in the Debian packaging.

With samba, you can get SMB-passwd and unix passwd synchroniced, when

But if you want to use NT as master, there's no options avalable,

Nope. Your problem is de header file which is missing. You must install

--exclude behavior in tar seems to have changed

2000-06-09 Thread Matthew Thompson
Hello,

I always install Debian in one big ugly partition for convenience' sake.
Perhaps not the recommended method, but that's the way I do it.

Whenever I wanted to make a big tarball image of my current installation,
I always would log in as root, cd to /, and submit the following command:

# tar --same-owner -czpvf /syjet/debmain.tgz --exclude=tmp/*
--exclude=proc/* --exclude=syjet/* *

This would create an image on my syjet without including the junk in /tmp
or /proc, or the new image itself.  I have done this far too many times to
count over the past 2 or 3 years, and it has always worked and proved very
convenient for me.

I recently upgraded to potato and it seems this no longer works.  I just
tried to do a backup, and all the files below the directories following
the --exclude command now get included.  /tmp and /proc are bad enough,
but to include the partially created debmain.tgz from /syjet in
debmain.tgz would very obviously be ridiculous.  --exclude=/proc/*
doesn't work, either.

I re-read the manpage for tar, and it says:

--exclude FILE
  exclude file FILE

I thought that perhaps the equals sign had become unnecessary, so I tried
it without, and all it did was tar up the /proc directory.

May I ask why the behavior of the --exclude command has changed?  Can
someone suggest a remedy for my situation?

TIA..

Re: secret data for php pages

2000-06-09 Thread Robert Varga

If php is called as a cgi then it can be run setuid via suexec anyway.
What I was looking for was a way to provide some information preload
during the time when apache is still root for the php3 module, since
modules run as www-data. 

There was another suggestion for running several instances of
suid-ed apache on ports other than 80 and using the rewrite engine to
transfer calls to them. This would cause large memory consumption but
still looks like the most feasible method aside from ip-based
virtualhosts.

 There exists a patch that allowes apache to run every virtual host in

 This involves that php has to be called as cgi but it's ok from the 
 security point of view.

Linux client for NT workgroup

2000-06-09 Thread Peter Welte
Hello, 

Is it possible to configure Debian (or any other Linux
distribution for that matter) to verify logins against
a Windows NT server instead of the /etc/passwd file? 
If it involves a lot of specific information, i can
probably find that myself, but a general description,
at least, would be very helpful and much appreciated!
;)

Note:  I am a Junior in high school who has the
majority of the control over the few Linux computers
we have in the comp. lab, but no control at all over
the choice of servers (unfortunatly!).  I would like
to be able to verify users/passwords against the NT
server because that would let any students with
accounts on the server use linux, without them adding
themselves to each computer manually, and because (of
school regulations) i cannot setup a NIS server.

Thanks in advance,
Peter Welte ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Re: Samba and VMWare

2000-06-09 Thread Bob G
Kelly Corbin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


 I am using VMWare (which rocks!)

Agreed! VMware is stunning!

 In my win98 virtual machine, I can see my linux box and the rest of my
 workgroup and all shares work fine, including the shares setup on my
 linux samba server.  Other windoze machines in the workgroup can see my
 win98 virtual machine, but not my linux samba server.

I'm assuming you're using a bridged network configuration under VMware. I
suspect your interfaces line in smb.conf is the culprit.

 ; Allow several Samba servers on the same machine
   interfaces = eth* 208.46.58.171#/208.46.58.248/255.255.255.0
   bind interfaces only = yes

That interfaces line doesn't look right. Is it really like that, or just the
message got mangled?

The biggest problem I've seen is VMware users using a configuration that
tells samba to only use vmnet1 (host-only interface) and not eth0 when
running a bridged configuration in the host OS.

Here's how I had success getting a Win98 guest working:

1. Verify that a real Win9x system works when plugged into the same physical
network as eth0 (or whatever you use for your bridged interface)
2. Set up your guest OS using EXACTLY the same settings (except of course
the actual IP address).

In my case, I already had DHCP and Samba/WINS running with external Win98
clients, so my guest OS popped right up when I told it to use DHCP for
everything. I completely disregard the VMware Samba installation and just
use the real stuff.

I'd work on getting Samba to work with the external real machines first.
Then getting a VMware guest to see it is pretty straightforward.

Hope this helps!

Hi, Jim,

Thanks for the reply. :)

Unfortunately, this isn't as effective as the way I used to do it, as it
doesn't create the empty directories /tmp  /proc in the archive.
Therefore, I would have to manually create those directories after
restoring.  This is compounded by the fact that I actually have several
such directories where I want the directory saved just not what's in it:
/win, /extra, /zip, /doma, and /angedon.  Some are local filesystems and
some are NFS.  I didn't include them originally for brevity's sake.

What I'd really like is to be able to just execute the same command that I
used to.  Can I just use an older version of tar?

Re: My quite ordinary comment about Re: GR to remove non-free...

2000-06-09 Thread Antonio Rodriguez
 I don't know about you, but I never got a non-free cd with my official
 Debian cd's. Non-free has never been a part of official Debian releases
 AFAIK.


The problem friends lies in the fact that if support is withdrawn from the
developers, MANY users will be left without any idea about what to do: The 
thing is
simple, they will not know how to put the things in the right place, nor how to 
fix
dependencies or conflicts. This is the meat of the problem for users. So, I 
propose
that (developers, are you listening?) some kind of tool be developed for that 
matter.
Otherwise, many will just start using alien, and then may be switch. I know 
that the
feeling is that it is really not important, that many users leave, but, in 
reality,
isn't the purpose of all this to facilitate the life of people and make it 
easier for
them to have good working software in a sea of financial sharks?



Matrox frame buffer not working

2000-06-09 Thread Damon Muller
Hi folks,

I'm sure I have seen something similar to this problem on the list
recently, but I wasn't able to find anything helpful in the list
archives.

I recently installed a Matrox Mystique in my debian machine, which had
been in my windows machine for a few years until I got a new card. I
used to run the VGA16 framebuffer with no worries, but thought it would
be cool to run in something other than minimum resolution and 16 colours
on the console.

I recomiled my 2.2.15 kernel, removing the VGA16 framebuffer, and
inserting the matrox framebufer as a module.

I rebooted with the new kernel, and at the lilo prompt typed in:

linux video=matrox:vesa:0x114

(which should give me 800x600x16bit), according to the matrox
framebuffer documentation in the kernel sources.

The new kernel proceeded to load, but only with the standard VGA text
console - no sign of a framebuffer to be seen. However, if I tried
modprobing matroxfb, the framebuffer will load correctly, and can be set
from fbset. There was no error or anything when using the lilo line
(typed in maually at the lilo:¨ prompt, not appended in lilo.conf),
it just didn't appear.

My preference is to have it load automatically, which I'd believed it
should do giving my lilo command line (isn't the idea that kmod
automatically loads modules when needed?). Any idea what I'm doing
wrong? If I'd compiled it in would it have made a difference?

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

cheers,

damon

hosts.allow not allowing hosts

2000-06-09 Thread Damon Muller
Hi all,

Like a good paranoid user, I protect my dial-up machine with both a
firewall using ipchains, and also using tcp wrappers to add a further
layer of security.

Sometimes I find it convinient to scp things to my machine for the
outside world, so I leave my ssh port open (I'm using gShield as my
firewall, and highly recommend it). However, I've found that I can't
connect my ssh port from outside when online.

Digging around for a solution, I found that I had the following in
/etc/hosts.deny:

ALL: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

Which I vaguely remember having put there because of aforementioned
paranoia. This shouldn't have been a problem, I wouldn't have thought as
long as I had the correct line in hosts.allow, as the hosts_access(5)
man page says that allow is checked before deny.

However, I can't get the hosts.allow bit working.

I've tried putting
ssh: ALL

and

ssh: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

in hosts allow, but neither works. Commenting out the sole line in
hosts.deny does, however, allow incoming ssh to work, so obviosuly it's
just a matter of having the correct line in allow.

Can anyone tell me what that line should be. Maybe I'm overlooking
something obvious, but I can't work it out.

cheers,

damon

ipchians forwarding error

2000-06-09 Thread Damon Muller
Hi gang,

Our network has recently gone from a ISDN router (with an IP on out
class C) to a ppp modem link (with an IP that is not part of our class
C) for its gateway. The machine that is the new gateway has an ipchains
firewall running, which I'd managed to munge together, which was broken
quite badly by this change.

This gateway machine also has a MASQ network connected to it via another
nic, and lots of IP addresses for virtual hosting, so the setup is
reasonably complex, considering my relatively limited understanding of
all things firewall related (hey, I'm learning, but not quickly enough).

The most significant of the ways in which the firewall broke when we
changed to the modem was that none of the other machines on the public
class C (as opposed to the MASQ'd one) were able to connect out through
the gateway. They could connect to the gateway machine, but could go no
further. Obviously, this caused a few small problems, especially for our
PPP users!

I came to the conclusion that it was the state of the forward chain
which was the problem, as it was set to DENY. It was my impression that
anything else was a Bad Thing (tm). Not knowing what else to do, I
changed the default policy to ACCEPT, and it all worked again, but I
fear that this is compromising the integrity of our firewall.

Here are the relevant bits from ipchains -L (trimmed of all else):

Chain forward (policy ACCEPT):
target prot opt sourcedestination   ports
ACCEPT all  --  192.168.1.0/24   192.168.1.0/24n/a
ACCEPT all  --  localnet/24  anywhere  n/a
MASQ   all  --  192.168.1.0/24   anywhere  n/a

I would have thought that the ACCEPT all from localnet to anywhere
should have covered it, but obviously it doesn't.

Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong, or even if I am correct in
not wanting my default forward policy to be ACCEPT. Do I need to do
something like ACCEPT all from localnet to gateway?

Thanks for any suggestions,

cheers,

damon

Yes, I think you found the solution by yourself.
As far as I know the FB staff is done right at the beginning when the kernel

is compiled as module, and the kernel can't load modules at that stage.
So either compile it into the kernel, or load the module during init.

Re: Which baud?

2000-06-09 Thread David Wright
Quoting Johann Spies ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 I am confused about what is exactly meant by the instruction in the
 documentation of my UPS: Port must be set to run at 2400 baud

Yes, it would have been more sensible to write 2400 baud/bps,
as they're the same for a port.

 According to the Serial-HOWTO.gz it seems to me that even fast serial
 port run at 2400 baud:
  baud
 The baud rate is a measure of how many times per second a
 signal, for instance one sent by a modem (modulator-demodulator)
 changes. For example, a baud rate of 1200 implies one signal
 change every 833 microseconds. Common modem baud rates are 50,
 75, 110, 300, 600, 1200, and 2400. Most high speed modems run at
 2400 baud. Because of the bandwidth limitations on voice-grade
 phone lines, baud rates greater than 2400 are harder to achieve,
 and only work under very pristine phone line quality.

(This is the slink HOWTO, which has been superceded, in case you
can't find this quotation, folks.)

As it says, this paragraph is about modems, not serial ports.
You need the next paragraph:

 bps
The bps rate is a measure of how many bits per second are
transmitted.  Common modem bps rates were formerly  50, 75, 110,
300, 1200, 2400, 9600.  Today they are 14.4K, 28.8K, 33.6K, and
56K (these do not correspond to the rates over the serial-port-
to-modem cable which are in addition to the old modem bps rates
(50-9600): 19.2K, 38.4K, 57.6K and 115.2K).  Using modems with
V.42bis compression (max 4:1 compression), rates up to 115.2K
bps are possible.  This is what most people mean when they
misuse the word ``baud''.

In other words, the serial port is dealing with:

(50-9600): 19.2K, 38.4K, 57.6K and 115.2K).

IIRC the typical relationship bps / baud used to be 4,
i.e. your 1200bps terminal was communicating over the phone
line at 300baud. Now that factor is higher.

 But when I do  stty -a -F /dev/ttyS1  I get
 
 speed 38400 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0; etc.
   ^

I think I warned you not to use the -F switch in my first posting
to you. If you need to convince yourself, try typing the line you
have typed above into a VC and an xterm. Then try and explain how
the serial port speed changed when you switched between the VC and
X! Alternatively, try running stty under strace and see if there's
any trace of ttyS1 in the output.

Now try replacing -F with  and you should get the right answer.

BTW when you said the script in rc.boot didn't work, that may be
the reason.

 Quite happy to investigate / play myself, perhaps someone could point me in

The only thing I found that required woody was a dependency on libguile6

Potato provides 1.3.4-2. This was only for the games I think. I upgraded

 hi all
 
 When a user creates a new directory/file in their home directory, the setuid

 drwxr-sr-x

the setgid bit on directories changes the file creation behaviour from
SysV to BSD:

SysV:  when a new file/directory is created the group is set to the
user's primary group id (or rather the primary group id of the parent
process) 

BSD:  when a new file or directory is created the group is set to that
of the parent directory, regardless of the user's group membership.  

so under Linux (and i think many SysV like systems) when the setgid
bit is set on a directory any files created in that directory will
have the group set to that of the parent (the setgid directory) just
like BSD.  

additionally, any directories created inside a setgid directory will
have the setgid bit set automatically.  this has nothing to do with
umask.

what happened to you is for some reason creates all user home
directories with the setgid bit set.  this is pointless since when you
use the user group system the group will be the same, ie: your home
directory will be set to your primary group, and any files you create
are created with your primary group per SysV.  

if you don't like this (i don't, i hate seeing s bits ;-)) just remove
the setgid bit from your home directory like so:

chmod -s ~

and off of any directories you have in your home.

 umask = 022, what do I need to set it to, for new files to = drwxr-xr-x ...
 and is this ok security-wise ... the execute bit?

there is no security problem with setgid directories.  (except if the
group the directory is set to is public and you don't want files
created under it to have that group)

 Assuming that is correct you subtract that number from 777 to get the

 careful- the operation is a binary AND of the ones-compliment of the
umask.  A subtract might generate a borrow, which would interfere with
adjacent bits and have very unexpected results.

 look ak at 'man 2 umask' which describes the C function call, yet
provides some insight into how the umask actually works.  Remember that
this is a 9 bit octal field (3 groups of 3 'rwx' bits).

   umask sets the umask to mask  0777.

   The  umask  is used by open(2) to set initial file permis­
   sions on a newly-created file.  Specifically,  permissions
   in  the  umask  are  turned  off from the mode argument to
   open(2) (so, for example, the common umask  default  value
   of 022 results in new files being created with permissions
   0666  ~022 = 0644 = rw-r--r-- in the usual case where the

Not for an asynchronous port.  The baud rate is symbols per second and

Re: Notice: GR to remove non-free support from Debian

Matthew, and Debian Folks, 

On Fri, 9 Jun 2000, Matthew Dalton wrote, in part:

 The real change is that non-free will no longer be covered by the same
 bug tracking system as the rest of Debian. This will have the most
 effect on the packages in the contrib section that depend on packages in
 non-free. This is the main reason for my objection to the proposal.
 
 The non-free section would turn into something similar to the debian KDE
 site, except to my knowledge there isn't any package on the official
 debian site that depends on a KDE package.


Though I too am not a developer, I must add my voice to those
opposed to this GR. It is not a good thing.  

I am a vigorous and noisey supporter of Debian and the GNU projects. 
Debian, and Linux, need applications that are _stable_, useful, and
distributed WITH Debian. I am afraid this can only injure Debian.

The one thing I dislike about other distributions is that I never
know whether a package will work, fail, or eat my system. I have
never had the latter untoward experience with any package
distributed by the Debian community, and Debian packages mostly work
as advertised. 

Are there good, nonidealogical reasons for the GR?

Help wasn't working at all. I found that I didn't have winhelp.exe or
winhlp32.exe in wine's c:\windows directory. When I put either or both of
these programs in place (using win95 for exe and dll), it gives this error
and hangs Quicken:

Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x9aac)!
err:seh:EXC_DefaultHandling Exception frame is not in stack limits =
unable to dispatch exception.
X Error of failed request:  BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for

  Resource id in failed request:  0x4401402
  Serial number of failed request:  39597

MSPAINT does a similar thing:

The Xlib error happens right away. The failed request error I think
might happen after I hit ^C in the xterm where I launched wine.

2.2.15 kernel boot freezes at running ntpdate...

2000-06-09 Thread Mark Phillips

My friend has a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop.  We are having problems with
the 2.2.15 kernel.  It boots fine with the 2.0.36 kernel, but recent
attempts to boot the 2.2.15 kernel have it freezing at the line

running ntpdate to syncronise clock

or something like that.  Now I suspect the problem has nothing to do with
ntpdate.  We have had problems with this kernel ever since it was
compiled.  Previously we have had the problem that the console keyboard
freezes, making it impossible to use the machine, except when it was
connected via ethernet and you telnetted in from outside.  We overcame
this problem by getting it to boot straight into xdm (kdm).  This meant we
didn't need to get near the consoles in order to use the machine.  Of
course we still couldn't use the consoles with much success.  Recently,
changing to a console results in a blank screen with a thin horizontal
line running across it.

Anyway, now it won't even boot at all which is a real problem.  I
suspected the problem may be an apm one, but when I booted with the option
apm=off it still hung at the same place!

Does anyone know what's wrong or what I can do about it?  It's very
frustrating.  Clearly it's some difference between the 2.0.36 kernel and
the 2.2.15, but if it isn't power management, what else could it be?  Any
other kernel options that could be causing the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Mark.

It seems no one I've talked to can figure this error out. I'm getting this
error every few days (sometimes every 5 days, sometimes in 3 days). It will
start coming up 1 or 2 times, then 10-20 times, then programs stop loading,
sockets stop opening, machine becomes not useable. I have to use the 'magic

few more days. This has been happening in every kernel. I have not tried 2.4

Does anyone have any sort of clue what would cause this? I've searched
everywhere, asked many people, and still nothing. Now I'm trying the
experienced people of the Debian mailing lists. Big thank you to anyone who
gives some light to this problem. My linux server is becoming an NT box,

libncurses5-dev.  (This is a problem for may different programs, BTW, and
you can often solve it by appending -dev to the package name.)

Re: 2.2.15 kernel boot freezes at running ntpdate...

2000-06-09 Thread Mark Phillips
I wrote:

 My friend has a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop.  We are having problems with
 the 2.2.15 kernel.  It boots fine with the 2.0.36 kernel, but recent
 attempts to boot the 2.2.15 kernel have it freezing at the line
 
   running ntpdate to syncronise clock
 
 or something like that.  Now I suspect the problem has nothing to do with
 ntpdate.

I was wrong.  The problem was ntpdate.  It was trying to poll the internet
while not connected to it.

Cheers,

Mark.

 We have had problems with this kernel ever since it was
 compiled.  Previously we have had the problem that the console keyboard
 freezes, making it impossible to use the machine, except when it was
 connected via ethernet and you telnetted in from outside.  We overcame
 this problem by getting it to boot straight into xdm (kdm).  This meant we
 didn't need to get near the consoles in order to use the machine.  Of
 course we still couldn't use the consoles with much success.  Recently,
 changing to a console results in a blank screen with a thin horizontal
 line running across it.
 
 Anyway, now it won't even boot at all which is a real problem.  I
 suspected the problem may be an apm one, but when I booted with the option
 apm=off it still hung at the same place!
 
 Does anyone know what's wrong or what I can do about it?  It's very
 frustrating.  Clearly it's some difference between the 2.0.36 kernel and
 the 2.2.15, but if it isn't power management, what else could it be?  Any
 other kernel options that could be causing the problem?
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 Mark.

new legacy Yamaha PCI module in 2.2.16 kernel won't link??

2000-06-09 Thread James D. Freels

I have recently upgraded my kernel to the new stable version 2.2.16.
I noticed the new kernel has new support for legacy Yamaha PCI sound, 
so I thought I would give it a try.  There is very little documentation
(only the comments in the driver code).  

I enable the driver in the configuration, and disabled my sound
blaster support.  I have a flacky SB16pro card and an on-board Yamaha
740 chip in the Intel 440bx mother board.  So the goal is to switch to
the onboard chip without having to purchase the OSS drivers outside
the open source of the kernel.

When I try an build the kernel, all goes well until the end when an
undefined reference is found with the error message below.  The
ymf_sb.c modules compiles fine and is loaded in the sound.a library.
So why won't it link?

drivers/sound/sound.a(sound_core.o): In function `soundcore_init':
sound_core.o(.text+0x3e5): undefined reference to `init_ymf7xxsb_module'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1



Re: kernel: grow_inodes: inode-max limit reached

2000-06-09 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes

Hi Reid,

As you ask for clues, here goes my $0.02!
This message comes from $KERNEL_SRC/fs/inode.c when the kernel
tries to get more inode. Browsing the file I found a #define MAX_INODE
(16384). What's your number? Maybe you can try increase this and see if
the problem persist.
You can see and maybe modify the /proc/sys/fs/inode-max. Mine
(2.2.14) shows 16384, too!
Just a clue!

Re: Which baud?

Thanks for the explanations everybody.

 I think I warned you not to use the -F switch in my first posting
 to you. If you need to convince yourself, try typing the line you
 have typed above into a VC and an xterm. Then try and explain how

 X! Alternatively, try running stty under strace and see if there's
 any trace of ttyS1 in the output.
 
 Now try replacing -F with  and you should get the right answer.
$sudo stty -a  /dev/ttyS2
bash: /dev/ttyS2: Permission denied

$sudo stty -a -F /dev/ttyS2
speed 38400 baud; rows 25; columns 80; line = 0;

I get the same in rxvt, but not in xterm.  I see your point.  I
originally understood that you meant -F is not working at all, not that
it works erroneously.

My the permissions for /dev/ups - /dev/ttyS2 are:
crw-rw   1 root root   4,  66 Jun  4 13:54 /dev/ttyS2

How do I get the  option to work?

Fortify says:

It is either not a copy of Netscape, or it is a version

Debian packages for gl?

2000-06-09 Thread Robert L. Harris


I think a lib or bin might have gotten nuked when I upgraded to XF86-4.0.
I can't get Q2 to drop to gl mode.  Anyone know which packages I need for
OpenGL so I can remove, purge and re-add them?

Thanks,
  Robert

wheel mouse

2000-06-09 Thread Goeman Stefan
Hello everybody,

Same question again,

I have my (Logitech) wheel mouse working for a terminal window, and that is
about it. I mean, it only works for a terminal window.

It doen't work when I use: Netscape, gv, xdvi, emacs, 
I don't understand this.

The funny thing is when i do imwheel -k in a terminal window. The wheel
mouse does not work in terminal windows anymore. 
But this time it works in Netscape, gv, xdvi, emacs, ...
I don't understand this either.

Another thing I don't understand is: do I have to put a imwheel -k in a
startup file. For now I have put it in the file .xsession
(I try to remove it, but it does not change the behaviour of the mouse)

Can somebody help me ??



The rest of this mail is just my .imwheelrc file in my home directory.

Can't get php4 to work with Apache

2000-06-09 Thread Jeff Self
I've got Apache 1.3.12 installed and working.  Loaded the deb package.  I 
installed PHP4 using the deb package also.  But when I try to bring up a php 
page in my web browser, it gives me an unknown file type message.  But I have 
looked in the srm.conf file and I have put 'AddType application/x-httpd-php 
.php .php3' in there.  What's the deal?  I would like to be able to use the 
debs for convenience, but I'll go back to source if I have to.  I have looked 
at php.ini and compared it to one on another server running Red Hat.  
Everything looks right.  I have restarted apache but no good.

I installed the following debs:

apache 1.3.12-1
apache-common 1.3.12-1
php4 4.0rc1-2
php4-mysql 4.0rc1-2
php4-xml 4.0rc1-2



loading modules

2000-06-09 Thread Goeman Stefan
Hello Everybody,


Another problem.

I have found a way to get my sound card working. It seems that I just need
to load the module esssolo1.o.
(# modprobe esssolo1). 
The problem is that I have to be the root user to do this and I don't like
to do it manually.
I guess there is a better way to do this. I would like to have it loaded
automatically when I boot my PC.

Should I write a small script like:

#!bin/sh
modprode esssolo1

and put it in /etc/rc2.d/

or do I have to do something else?


Greetings,

Stefan Goeman
