OT: Libros sobre HTML

2000-06-15 Thread Angel Vicente Perez
Hola a todos...

Quisiera introducirme en la creacion de paginas web, y me haria falta algun
libro sobre HTML, y otras tecnicas relativas al tema, a poder ser en
español, y a poder ser tambien que no hagan referencia a programas (Front
Page y tal) en concreto, porque la intencion es utilizar amaya, ya que lo
tengo instalado, pues a usarlo.

He visto algun libro, pero el contenido siempre es en relacion a programas
concretos de creacion de paginas web, necesitaria algo mas generico.

Asi mismo, si conoceis algun otro editor de paginas, mejor que amaya y que
sea GNU, por favor indicarmelo.

Gracias y saludos.

Estoy probando screem. Aún está muy verde. Pero tiene una pinta estupenda. 
Estoy usándolo
habitualmente teniendo precaución de guardar cada vez que cambio algo.
Hay otro muy sencillo llamado august. Viene a ser un editor de texto con alguna 
macro que
te escribe las marcas de html.
Otro llamado bluefish que no he probado a fondo.
Todos están en potato.
¡Ah! y seguro que emacs también lo puede hacer. (¿Hay algo que no se pueda 
hacer con emacs?
...bueno, sí, ya lo se ¡¡guarros!!, ¡¡que sois unos guarros!!  ;-))

Respecto a lo de los libros de html, o manuales, prueba a buscar en 
www.google.com. Este
buscador es increible y seguro que encuentras lo que quieres y más.

Como a todo el mundo que me pregunta algo así mi contestación es rotunda:
  * Visita 'http://www.w3.org', que es el sitio de el World Wide Web
Consortium u organización que mantiene el estándar HTML y muchas cosas
más. Para diseñar páginas web es necesario según mi punto de vista
conocer el estándar, mi consejo es que visites estas páginas y te
descarges el fichero comprido del estándar XHTML 1.0, que es el estándar
propuesto para la creación de páginas web por el W3C.

 He visto algun libro, pero el contenido siempre es en relacion a programas
 concretos de creacion de paginas web, necesitaria algo mas generico.

Lo dicho, con el estándar harás páginas lo espectaculares y efectivas que tu
talento te dicte.

 Asi mismo, si conoceis algun otro editor de paginas, mejor que amaya y que
 sea GNU, por favor indicarmelo.

XEmacs :)

Saludos y suerte.

 Si lo imprimo con papel A5, una vez reducido el contenido de la
 página, me imprime el principio del contenido bastante más abajo del
 principio de la página, es decir, me deja una parte de la página en
 blanco (la mitad o un poco más) y empieza a imprimir más abajo, con lo
 cual no cabe todo en la página (más bien casi nada).
 Me parece que puede ser esto de la Bounding Box.  Al hacer la
 reducción me deja el contenido en A5 en la esquina inferior izquierda
 de una página en A4 (en vertical).  Parece que al intentar imprimir
 tratase la página A5 en la que va a imprimir como la esquina superior
 izquierda de la página A4 donde está el contenido en A5 (espero no
 haberlo liado más).  O quizá si dejase el contenido en la otra esquina
 sería suficiente.
 Por cierto, lo he vuelto a mirar y con el gv no me sale en
 A5, sino en A4 con el contenido en la esquina inferior izquierda

Ahora si está clarísimo. Para que te salga bien en gv basta con
corregirle la Bounding Box; para lograr imprimirlo el problema es que
conviene mantener tu impresora configurada para A4 (pues es una
impresora A4) y colocar el contenido A5 en la parte apropiada de la
página A4. Lo que pasa es que según la forma como imprima la impresora y
como esté construída la bandeja de papel, será necesario aprovechar una
de las cuatro esquinas de la hoja A4. El programa pasresize debería
tener una opción que permita mover el contenido para cualquier esquina;
me pondré a modificar el psresize, pero mientras lo hago, te mando una
solución rápida (script perl de 11 líneas adjunto) para tu caso que
parece que lo único que necesitas es subir 9cm la página A5.

El script que te mando se debe usar así:
   psresize -PA4 -pA5 fichero1.ps fichero2.ps
   cat fichero2.ps | ./sube9.pl  fichero3.ps
fichero3.ps debe funcionar bien tanto en gv como en tu impresora.
(obviamente sube9.pl deberá ser ejecutable).

[AL MARGEN]amazon forest to 50%

2000-06-15 Thread Roberto Lopez
Perdon por el FUERA DE TEMA pero yo thinko...

This is important for all of us!!!

Brazilian congress is now voting on a project that will reduce the
amazon forest to 50% of its size. The area to be deforested is 4 times
the
size of Portugal and would be mainly used for agriculture and pastures
for live stock...

All the wood is to be sold to international markets in the form of
wood chips, by multinational companies...

The truth is that the soil in the amazon forest is useless without
the forest itself. Its quality is very acidic and the region is prone to

constant floods. At this time more than 160.000 square kilometers
deforested with the same purpose, are abandoned and in the process
of  becoming  deserts.

We cannot let this happen. Copy the text into a new email, put your
complete name in the list below, and send to everyone you know.

mpeg4 y avi

2000-06-15 Thread Luis Taboada
Hola debian-user-spanish,

  Acabo de encontrarme con un cdrom en el que está grabada completa la
  película de MATRIX ( en 500 y pico Mb.). El fichero tiene formato .avi y 
utiliza el
  standard MPEG4. Viene con los codecs de mpeg4( para windows, of
  course ).

  ¿Sabe alguien si puedo probar a ver esto desde debian ?. Lo he
  probado en el trabajo bajo un pentium III y el MediaPlayer: se ve de 
escándalo.

  En MPEG3 ocupaba más de un cdrom, no se cuanto más, pero el hecho de
  poder guardar una peli de 1 hora tres cuartos en un solo cdrom me
  parece una pasada, manteniendo una buena calidad.

Saludos,
 Luis  mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hay compañias que venden cd's con películas. Yo he comprado Titanic y
The fifth element este último cabe en un solo cd, pero el primero que
dura 3 horas ocupa 3 cd's.
Los veo en Linux usando mtv (que no es libre pero se puede conseguir

Perfectamente. (En este momento está en acción mientras escribo).

La versión que viene en potato no me funcionó (creo que me dió el mismo
error que a tí), pero la que viene en helixcode (hace unos dias se habló
sobre eso aquí, y también en la sección de gnome en barrapunto.com)
si funciona y tiene direcciones de nuevos servidores napster.

¡¡Socorro!!, ¡impresora poseida!

2000-06-15 Thread Javier Viñuales Gutiérrez
Buenas, bueno la cosa no es para tanto pero me tiene frito pues no se cómo
atajarlo.

El problema es que envié un documento PDF a la impresora que no se que debe
tener en el formato que no hace más que impreimirme hojas con algún caracter
especial y el resto en blanco. Lleva ya una hora imprimiendo idioteces y no
se cómo decirle que pare ya porque el proceso lo tiene almacenado en el
buffer de la impresora y no se cómo limpiarlo.

¿A alguien le ha pasado algo así?.
P.D: Jaime, si me lees dímelo que creo que te voy a enviar el documento en
si para que experimentes porque no me da problemas en PostScript pero si en
PDF. No entiendo nada.

Normalmente lo que hago es quitar rápidamente el papel de la impresora y
mientrras espera que le ponga mas, puedo hacer su; lprm para matar el
proceso, y después hacer el reset de la impresora para limpiar el
búfer. Puede ser necesario apargar o hasta desconectar de la corriente,
dependiendo de la impresora.

 Hola a todos.
 Tengo un pequeño problema con el escritorio:
 no puedo organizar los iconos como quiero. Si muevo un icono a una posicion 
 determinada cuando levanto el dedo del ratón, el icono se desplaza más 
 arriba, o más abajo, o más a la izquierda de manera que no hay dos iconos 
 alineados en condiciones.
 Utilizo el GNOME.

Buenas. Parece ser que Gnome no trata demasiado bién a los iconos del
escritorio. Al menos no tan bién como lo hace KFM. No obstante tienes
una opción dentro del GDM (El gestor de archivos de Gnome, en la pestaña
de preferencias creo recordar), que permite hacer que los iconos se
muestren adecuadamente en la pantalla, haciendo algo similar a la
organización automática de Windows. También puedes elegir el modo en que
se disponen, de arriba a abajo o de izquierda a derecha del escritorio.
Lo que me extraña, precisamente de Gnome es que siendo tan configurable,
de tan pocas opciones de configuración en este aspecto, yo por ejemplo
todavia no he logrado dar con la opción de cambiar el color del tipo de
letra de los títulos de los iconos :| .
Bueno espero que te sirva...

Para los que no lo sepam EFM es el administrador de archivos de

bastantes recursos y anda un poco beta.
Los ficheros que se que hay que instalar aparte del tarball del EFM son

exim y varias direcciones de correo

2000-06-15 Thread David Muriel
Buenas...

Tengo una duda que no se como resolver.  Tengo dos direcciones de
correo que utilizo, una desde casa y otra desde la facultad.  Para la
de casa tengo configurado el exim para que utilice el servidor smtp
del ISP.  Para la de la facultad, hacía un telnet a mi cuenta y desde
ahí la utilizaba, ya que no permite hacerlo a través del smtp (por
seguridad y esas cosas).  Pero eso es lo que hacía, ya que desde hace
un par de semanas (o más) no me conecta por telnet, y como no voy
mucho por la facultad estos días (hay exámenes), pues no puedo
utilizarla.

Lo que quiero hacer ahora es configurar el exim para que si utilizo la
dirección de casa siga haciendo lo mismo que hasta ahora, pero si
envío un mensaje con la dirección de la facultad quiero que lo envíe
él directamente, como si fuese el servidor smtp. ¿Alguien sabe como se
puede hacer?, porque supongo que se podrá, aunque sea algo complicado.

Por cierto, ¿alguien sabe como hacer para que el exim sólo reescriba
las direcciones de los mensajes externos y no las de los locales?

Gracias por adelantado.

Hasta luego.

 Generalmente el fichero log suele ser algo como supra.log (para un

Novato pregunta sobre configuracion de tetex

Hola muchachos,
Estoy tratando de correr tex y latex en mi slink pero este se niega y 
afirma que no encuentra programa.fmt. Ya revise los faq, los 
documentos, todo lo posible a mis manos pero nada.

Alguien sabe como salgo de este embrollo.

Ya realice todas las sugerencias del faq pero no he podido solucionar 
el problema. En rh6.1 inastalado en mi pc corre tetex sin problemas

Si, es un Y2K bug en la utilidad de configuración de tetex. Al instalar el
paquete que viene con anteriores revisiones a la Debian 2.1r5 está el bug y
se para la instalación.

Has de actualizar tetex-base (tetex-contrib y tetex-nonfree no lo se, pero
supongo que si) a los que hay en 2.1r5.

[OT] linux w/mac client ok: linux w/windows client ugh--?

2000-06-15 Thread Will Trillich
i'm in a mixed marriage. i'm mac, my wife is windows
(not that she likes it, she just invested all that
time and doesn't want it to be for nothing).
and we now have a new member on the team, of course:
debian linux. works like a champ!

but this is a very odd situation.

in my home i've got linux acting as firewall, routing
thru cablemodem/microwave wireless to connect to the
world. i use the 192.168.*.* subnet within the house
to assign numbers: i'm 1.100, she's 1.200, and linux
is 1.1, and all works fine from my mac.

i power up my mac and can instantly browse, email,
telnet, ftp... no waiting, ever.

but when my wife cranks up her computer and launches 
exporer it says she has no internet connection and 
would you like to work offline? starting a dos 
window we try 'ping pacific.net.au' just for fun, 
and the linux nameserver correctly looks it up and 
the pings march across the screen. (this is from her 
msdos prompt, not a telnet session to linux.) so her
setup seems okay, but outlook express, aol and
explorer all refuse to cooperate for minutes on
end. after quitting/relaunching or stopping/reloading
a webpage finally comes up and then all is well.

i checked to see that her nameserver/gateway/tcp/lan
settings were just like mine (except for the last
number on the 192.168.1.* of course), yet this persists.

even bewilderingly vague clues would be much appreciated.

 I've installed the gmp library...several times.  any ideas?
 

Most libraries, libgmp2 included, come in two packages: the
runtime package, required for compiled software that links
against the library, and a development package, required for
building software that links against the library.

From your mail, it appears that you have installed the
libgmp2 package; have you also installed libgmp2-dev?

 If it's purely the space you're concerned about
 you could consider using nvi in place of elvis,
 but then you miss out on some of the fancy stuff
 (like X support) that you probably like about 
 elvis.  Of course, this won't help you much
 with perlmagick.

i don't use X at all any more. it's got cool stuff
and would be great if i needed it, but i'm just looking
for server functionality now (i still use my mac for
the graphical stuff). i'm apt-get --purge remove XYZ
until something breaks... :)

but the perlmagick stuff has me a bit baffled. i've
been to their website and looked for all the dox i
can find in /usr/{share/,}doc/*magick*/ but don't
find anything on imagemagick or the commands that
are available. from documented perl examples i've
discovered little more than
my $q=Image::Magick-new;
$q-Set(size='45x500');
$q-Read('gradation:#66-#00');
so i know how to create a gradation, but how do
i make a flat blue graphic? how do i specify
a simple checkerboard or horizontal-line overlay?

any pointers are welcome...!



diald/pppd refused connection--PAP auth?

2000-06-15 Thread Kenward Vaughan
Diald is my nemesis... Various attempts to get it working have failed to
connect me.  I'm using the stock conf files with the only changes being the
use of the ppp provider script for connecting, and trying to change noauth
to auth in the diald.options file to match the options I see in
/etc/ppp/ppp_options.  PPP connects with PAP authorization.

syslog messages I see immediately after connecting are:

Jun 14 22:13:07 kaynjay diald[29726]: Running pppd (pid = 29869).
Jun 14 22:13:07 kaynjay diald[29869]: Running pppd: /usr/sbin/pppd

Jun 14 22:13:07 kaynjay pppd[29869]: The remote system is required to
authenticate itself
Jun 14 22:13:07 kaynjay pppd[29869]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret
(password) for it to use to do so.
Jun 14 22:13:07 kaynjay pppd[29869]: (None of the available passwords would
let
it use an IP address.)


my ppp_options file in /etc/ppp is:

asyncmap 0
auth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

Can someone possibly, _please_, shed light on my inadequacies in this matter?? 
It'd be greatly appreciated.  I'll gladly forward other info as
needed/requested.

Additionally, I cannot understand the readme.masq file where it describes
Not using defaultroute (use addroute somewhere...).  What am I supposed to
do to masquerade?  I can set ipchains to not masq initially, but where does
this addroute come into play?  Not being educated as a geek leaves me in
the cold on this issue (among others).

TIA,

Kenward



post-install in modules.conf problem

/etc/modules.conf

In my modules.conf I have the following lines:

alias net-pf-4 ipx

stays unconfigured.
The same syntacs works fine with alsa modules:

Any help appreciated,

inn2 makehistory

2000-06-15 Thread Bob Bernstein
I looked at inn2.postinst and realized that my install of the inn2 deb did
not complete successfully. After I ran the makehistory command and did the
mv's, /var/lib/news looked like this (this is using the default sample
history and active files):

lindsey:/var/lib/news# ls -l history*
-rw-rw-r--1 news news  341 Jun 15 00:15 history
-rw-rw-r--1 news news   41 Jun 15 00:15 history.dir
-rw-rw-r--1 news news  450 Jun 15 00:15 history.hash
-rw-rw-r--1 news news  300 Jun 15 00:15 history.index

Although INN appears to function, using only local.* groups so far, I wonder
at the size of those files. Should they be so large?

Also I tried makehistory with the '-r' argument, but produced the same
thing. Should I assume that dbz is turned off somewhere? I see the phrase
config.data in the man pages but that must be for building the source code?

As for the unsuccessful install of the deb, iirc I ran into a problem with
my hostname, so perhaps there is an issue there? ('hostname --fqdn' returns
a correct value.) I have what I think is a properly configured
mostly-caching named running on this machine.

Try the source package for whatever kernel it is (2.0.38?). You'll find
it in the top-level source directory after unpacking.

('apt-get source kernel-source-2.0.38', if you have appropriate deb-src
lines in /etc/apt/sources.list, or download kernel-source-2.0.38* from
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/source/devel/ and

ok. i have to deal with this everyday... on the internet preferences you
have to tell windows to get on the internet via a LAN (maybe you did so
already, don't worry). even then, windows won't understand it, maybe it is
trying to connect via a DIP? if you have any DIP connections defined, erase
them. if you need them, then re-create them with different names.

just a guess, but maybe at some point you configured that machine to connect
to the internet via DIP, now windows won't understand you want to change
that. anyway, in the multiple cases customers call to tell us your internet
won't work this fixes the problem (and makes me waste around 15 mins of my
time).

hope that helps

Re: boot install from HD

2000-06-15 Thread David Wright
Quoting Fish Smith ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Is there a way to boot the install system from the
 hard disk?  Of a pre-installed debian system I mean, I
 know how to do it from an msdos/win system I'm going
 to install over.
 
 I made a few mistakes in install and I want to revise
 my selections.  I don't particularly want to make all
 those floppies again, especially considering I only
 used one physical disk.

You should be able to make corrections without going back to
the installation system. For example, network addresses
in /etc/init.d/network (slink) or /etc/network/interfaces
(potato).

But if you want to do it from floppies, you only need the
first one (slink) or two (potato). You need to Mount a
previously initialised partition, and then Configure
whatever-it-was to make the changes.

Apart from the network above, I can really only think of
Configure Base System which only seems to affect /etc/timezone
and the clock line in /etc/default/rcS. What did you get wrong?

Apologies if I pick up the wrong end of the stick, but diald just
automates the PPP link for you? So I'm not sure why you want to
make the peer (your ISP?) authorise itself to you. In other words,
just as your ppp provider script has noauth in it, diald needs the
same treatment (however that is configured).

The reason auth is in the ppp options file (and must be left there)
is explained in the second paragraph of SECURITY in man pppd.

html2ps

2000-06-15 Thread Goeman Stefan
Hello everybody,


Somebody probably encountered this problem before.
You download a manual from the Internet but this manual is in html format or
better you get 100 or 200 html files.
You have to browse this manual with a html viewer (netscape). 
This browsing through the online manual is usefull but I would also like a
paper version of the manual.
So, I found that with html2ps you can convert html to ps. This is
interesting but I don't like to do this for every file separately.
I would rather like to issue one command to create the complete manual (in
ps format) at once.

Can anybody help my with this??


Greetings,

Stefan



Re: samba auto-unloads

2000-06-15 Thread Lindsay Allen

I can't help with unloads because I can't get them loaded in the first
place.  It's like this.

client  server  result

w98 samba   ok
w98 nt4 ok
smbmountw98 ok
smbmountsamba   ok
smbmountnt4 fail

In other words, I can smbmount everything except an nt4 share.  If I can
do it from w98 it cannot be a password or encryption problem, can it?  Any
ideas please?  

This is vital as we plan on using Debian workstations in the classroom and
users must be able to mount their home directories.

smbd and nmbd can run from inetd or in daemon mode.  inetd is slower but 
uses less ram.  Running as daemons is faster, but resource useage is 
greater.

I run it as a daemon, and it looks like you do too.

  As of SP3, Microsoft has decided that they will no longer default to
  passing clear text passwords over the network.  To enable access to
  Samba shares from NT 4.0 SP3, you must do ONE of two things:

  1. Set the Samba configuration option 'security = user' and implement

Get the 2.2.16 kernel tarball, apply the Hedrick IDE patches

Still, I've just seen in linux-kernel that 2.2.16 and (probably) 2.2.17pre1
seem to have issues with the PS2 mouse port under SMP (hangs/crashes after a
while), which would require reverting the PS2 driver to 2.2.15.

Maybe just patching 2.2.15 with 2.2.17pre1 security fixes and the VM fixes
(but nothing else) would work. But that's something for Debian's kernel
maintainer to decide, so I'll just wait to see.

Yes it is a kernel bug.  See the the debian-laptop list archives
from the past week or so and read more about it.  The problem
occurs when the potato pcmcia-3.1.8 package is installed.  According
to David Hinds, changes were made in that release to the serial
module that discovered a bug in the kernel code.  3.1.9 and later
have implemented a work-around.  In the mean time, this sequence
of commands may work:

Log in as root and issue:

cardctl eject
rmmod serial
modprobe serial
carctl insert

After doing that my pcmcia modem worked flawlessly.  Earlier this
week I installed kernel 2.2.15 (potato source) and pcmcia 3.1.14 
(compiled from the woody distro source).

Try to change your lilo.conf like this.

I am not 100% sure whether this works.

A different method that may work is to do a change root (chroot) to /mnt and

 If everything is working correctly, you should only be asked for your

 However, from 'man ssh':
 
If other authentication methods fail, ssh prompts the user for a pass­

  someone listening on the network.
 
 
 Most of the systems on which I have set up a .ssh/authorized_keys file
 require only the key.  One requires the password instead, although the
 key file is correct as far as I can tell.

It's worth noting that ssh cares about file permissions; it seems to
get upset if your key files are group writable.  Remove group write
permissions and see what happens.

Merging distribution CDs

2000-06-15 Thread Moore, Paul
I have a set of four potato unofficial CDs, and a massive hard disk, and I'm
bored of swapping CDs. What is the best way of copying the full contents of
the CDs onto my hard disk so that I can install off there?

I assume that

mkdir -p /dist/cd[1-4]
mount /cdrom
(cd /cdrom  tar cf - .) | (cd /dist/cd1  tar xf -)
# repeat 3 more times

works, with appropriate sources.list lines, but can I merge the CDs, to make
a single directory tree - ideally in such a way that I could use this as a
base for a mirror of the FTP site and then update regularly...

Thanks for any suggestions,
Paul.



stable/secure remote mount option

2000-06-15 Thread Brian Stults
I have two linux boxes, one at work and one at home.  The one at work
has several remote filesystems mounted to it via samba (2 unix and 2
NT).  I would like to have access to all of those filesystems from home
as well.  I currently use samba to mount them all, but I periodically
have problems.  This prompts me to ask what is the most stable and most
secure way of mounting remote filesystems.  Is NFS a better option than
samba?  I suspect these are my best two options, but perhaps there is
more?  Security isn't a huge issue.  The data I'm trasporting isn't
particularly sensitive (i.e. it doesn't really matter if someone sees
it.)  I just mean security in the sense that someone can't use it as a
hole to get into my system.

Thanks,
Brian

I suppose it would cause a problem if it were trying to configure

dhcpd 0.70-5 Incompatible with RR in Raleigh, NC?

2000-06-15 Thread Dave Slotter
While I am a newbie in regards to the naming conventions of Debian, I 
have been using it for about a year now with excellent success. I 
have had so much success that I upgraded from my 486 learning box 
to a dual Celeron motherboard (ABIT BP6), 30 gig disk, 10BASE-T 3COM 
NIC on (cable modem side), 10/100BASE-T Linksys NIC (on internal 
side) etc. Despite recently moving close to Redhat HQ, I have chosen 
to stay with Debian.


I subscribed to RoadRunner in Raleigh, NC and found out that the 
dhcpd I have installed (version 0.70-5) absolutely refuses to acquire 
an address. I have tried the switches to put it in RFC 1541 
compatibility mode, to provide the host name, etc. but have been 
totally unsuccessful.


When I would try to start DHCP, I would get the following errors in 
/var/log/syslog:


dhcpcd[1311]: ioctl SIOCGIFHWADDR (ifConfig): Operation not supported by device
dhcpcd[1328]: sendto (init): Operation not permitted

I have perused the dhcp-mini-howto as well as DHCP sites and found 
another dhcpd which is dhcpcd-1.3.18-pl8 which appears to operate 
just fine. I found it at 
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/system/network/daemons/dhcpcd-1.3.18-pl8.tar.gz


I don't know if I'm running slink or potato or whatever, but here is 
the output of uname -a:


Linux vortex 2.0.36 #2 Sun Feb 21 15:55:27 EST 1999 i686 unknown

I don't know whether this is a problem with RR's DHCP server or a 
basic incompatibility or whatever. I have heard occasional mentions 
that dhcpd does not like multiple NICs, but if that's the case, how 
come I can put the interface name in the dhcpd configuration file? If 
it is a bug, I would appreciate it if someone would guide me on how 
to submit this into the Debian bug list.


If there is something I can do to make the dhcpd in the standard 
Debian distribution work, please let me know.


Thanks.

Re: boot install from HD

 You should be able to make corrections without going
 back to
 the installation system. For example, network
 addresses
 in /etc/init.d/network (slink) or
 /etc/network/interfaces
 (potato).
 
 But if you want to do it from floppies, you only
 need the
 first one (slink) or two (potato). You need to
 Mount a
 previously initialised partition, and then
 Configure
 whatever-it-was to make the changes.
 
 Apart from the network above, I can really only
 think of
 Configure Base System which only seems to affect
 /etc/timezone
 and the clock line in /etc/default/rcS. What did you
 get wrong?

Kernel stuff.  I didn't configure PCMCIA, and I need
some more modules. (i.e. PS/2 for my mouse) I can't
get the kernel source onto it to rebuild, although
that would be the really nice way to do it, until I
get a new modem and figure out why my phone line isn't
giving me a dial tone.

I'm a bit confused by all of this, because dhcp-0.70 is supposed to only
work with 2.0.x kernels, which you have, and 1.3.18 is supposed to only
work with 2.2.x kernels.  Maybe they changed the way 2.0.36 works? (from
previous 2.0.x kernels.)

You have Debian 2.1 installed, BTW. (slink).  The next version of Debian
has dhcpcd_1.3.17pl2 in it, which I no longer maintain.. (Actually, it
has both 0.70 and 1.3.17, and it would try to run 0.70 on your kernel.)


Unfortunately, you can't use these as-is without upgrading at least part
of your system to the latest Debian.  (They are compiled for a newer
glibc.)


The package for dhcpcd-1.3.17 is at:

 
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/net/dhcpcd_1.3.17pl2-8.deb

You might have to change /etc/init.d/dhcpcd to us the right dhcpcd
binary.


The package that I maintain is pump (again only in the newer debian) -
it is the exact same program that Red Hat 6.x is using, found in:

 
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/net/pump_0.7.3-2.deb

Unfortunately, you can't use these as-is without upgrading at least part
of your system to the latest Debian.

# To upgrade all or part of your system:

You can try adding:

  deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free

to /etc/apt/sources.list and do:

  apt-get update
  apt-get install pump

This would pull down the new libc, and other packages that pump depend
on.

  apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.14

would upgrade the kernel.

  apt-get dist-upgrade

would upgrade the entire system...  But it require downloading a lot of
stuff.. (If you have DSL you can probably manage though.)

I'd recommend IRCing to irc.debian.org and sitting on the #debian
channel, in case something goes wrong..


 ##

The other option is to wait till the 2.2 CDs come out and upgrade then.

 Kernel stuff.  I didn't configure PCMCIA,

I think that'd be dpkg --configure pcmcia-cs

 and I need
 some more modules. (i.e. PS/2 for my mouse)

This just puts the names of the modules into /etc/modules and
(I assume) any parameters into somewhere like /etc/modutils/local
(which update-modules then builds into /etc/conf.modules).

If you need prompting for the names, look in the /lib/modules/...

Re: samba auto-unloads

2000-06-15 Thread Jens B. Jorgensen
smbd and nmbd are only used for serving linux filesystems to other machines. 
That's
not the problem. I have noticed that the newer versions of smbmount let the 
connection
time out and get closed.

Brian Stults wrote:

 Hello,

 I've been using the samba client to mount NT drives to my linux box for
 some time without any problems.  Now, on my home linux box, I'm mounting
 drives from my linux box at work.  It works very well at first.
 However, when I come back the next day, the mounted drive produces I/O
 errors.  It turns out that the smb and nmb daemons have automatically
 unloaded from my work box.  When I login to the remote machine and
 restart samba, the drives can be mounted again.  Why does this happen?
 Is it related to the daemons versus inetd issue?  I don't fully
 understand this.  There are entries in my inetd.conf like this:

 #:OTHER: Other services
 #off# netbios-ssn stream  tcp nowait  root/usr/sbin/tcpd
 /usr/sbin/smbd
 #off# netbios-ns  dgram   udp waitroot/usr/sbin/tcpd
 /usr/sbin/nmbd -a

 But it appears they are commented out.  I also have the standard startup
 script in /etc/init.d for samba.  I sifted through the SMB-HOWTO, but
 couldn't find reference to this.  Can someone help?

 Thanks.

Re: dhcpd 0.70-5 Incompatible with RR in Raleigh, NC?

2000-06-15 Thread Dave Slotter
I'm a bit confused by all of this, because dhcp-0.70 is supposed to only
work with 2.0.x kernels, which you have, and 1.3.18 is supposed to only
work with 2.2.x kernels.  Maybe they changed the way 2.0.36 works? (from
previous 2.0.x kernels.)

Well, I have been having some difficulties on this installation. I don't know
if it is the newer hardware or having set it up for dual-boot or what. The
dual-boot configuration boots the system up into a DOS config menu and under
no user-intervention starts up Linux via linload. I would have preferred using
lilo, but either I am too unknowledgable of its operation or it just simply
doesn't support booting into DOS/Windows (which I wanted to be able to do on
occasion).

You have Debian 2.1 installed, BTW. (slink).  The next version of Debian
has dhcpcd_1.3.17pl2 in it, which I no longer maintain.. (Actually, it
has both 0.70 and 1.3.17, and it would try to run 0.70 on your kernel.)

I looked at my Debian CDs earlier and yes, they are 2.1. After I installed
from the CD set, I upgraded the rest of the packages via the net.

Unfortunately, you can't use these as-is without upgrading at least part
of your system to the latest Debian.  (They are compiled for a newer
glibc.)

See above comment. Is that what is making dhcpcd-1.3.18 work on my machine?
Could it be causing dhcp-0.70 to fail?

The package for dhcpcd-1.3.17 is at:


http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/net/dhcpcd_1.3.17pl2-8.deb

You might have to change /etc/init.d/dhcpcd to us the right dhcpcd
binary.

What I did was probably evil in the Debian way of doing things, but then
again, Debian wasn't helping me to solve it either, but I just moved the
old dhcpcd program aside and put the new one in its place.

The package that I maintain is pump (again only in the newer debian) -
it is the exact same program that Red Hat 6.x is using, found in:


http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/net/pump_0.7.3-2.deb

Unfortunately, you can't use these as-is without upgrading at least part
of your system to the latest Debian.

How does pump differ from dhcpcd? Are there any advantages/disadvantages?

# To upgrade all or part of your system:

You can try adding:

  deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free

to /etc/apt/sources.list and do:

  apt-get update
  apt-get install pump

This would pull down the new libc, and other packages that pump depend
on.

  apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.14

would upgrade the kernel.

  apt-get dist-upgrade

would upgrade the entire system...  But it require downloading a lot of
stuff.. (If you have DSL you can probably manage though.)

I've got a cable modem and have managed to max it out at 2 megabits. ;-)

I'd recommend IRCing to irc.debian.org and sitting on the #debian
channel, in case something goes wrong..


 ##

The other option is to wait till the 2.2 CDs come out and upgrade then.

apt-get: 93 Protocol not supported

2000-06-15 Thread Christopher S. Swingley
Yesterday I installed frozen on a new machine.  I used the network to
fetch all the packages from a local mirror (http, port 8080).  Everything
worked fine.  Now when I try to use apt, I get the following:

# apt-get update
Err http://web.address.edu potato/main Packages
  Could not create a socket - socket (93 Protocol not supported)

snip

Failed to fetch http://web.address.edu:8080/debian/dists/potato/main/
binary-i386/Release
  Could not create a socket -- socket (93 Protocol not supported)

I did recompile the kernel to support my CD-RW, but I used the same
settings I've always used, and the networking options seem perfectly
appropriate (all set to yes):

CONFIG_NET, CONFIG_PACKET, CONFIG_FIREWALL, CONFIG_INET,
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL, CONFIG_IP_TRANSPORT_PROXY, CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE,
CONFIG_SKB_LARGE, CONFIG_NETDEVICES, CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET, 
CONFIG_NET_EISA, CONFIG_EEXPRESS_PRO100

Plus I can connect using this port:

$ telnet web.address.edu 8080
Trying 123.456.0.0...
Connected to web.address.edu
Escape character is '^]'.
HEAD / HTTP 1.1

Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

Connection closed by foreign host

I also tried using the standard Debian http sites for /etc/apt/sources.list,
but these gave me the same errors as my own mirror.

When I try using the ftp method, it fetches about half the files and then
freezes at: [Logging in], and eventually times out.  When I ftp manually
(using ftp on the command line), everything seems fine.

Any ideas on what's going wrong?

Thanks,

I'm guessing they backported the new stuff in 2.2.x to 2.0.36.  It's
basically just the raw socket interface that it depends on.

 The package for dhcpcd-1.3.17 is at:
 
 
 http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/net/dhcpcd_1.3.17pl2-8.deb

 Unfortunately, you can't use these as-is without upgrading at least 
 part

 How does pump differ from dhcpcd? Are there any advantages/disadvantages?

dhcpcd-1.3.18 was a rewrite of dhcpcd-0.70.  I didn't like the new code,
it seemed poorly written, and wasn't written in a very careful manner. 
(In early versions, there were some rather stupid segfaults.)

The pump code seems a lot more clean and better organised to me.

The whole story, an the reason that I'm confused by the situation, is
that something in the kernel itself was changed, causing dhcpcd-0.70 to
stop working.  (It wouldn't let you give a device the address 0.0.0.0.) 
and dhcpcd-1.3.x relied on some new interface that changed in 2.2.x (but
it may have been backported by now).

(The support on dhcpcd is rather questionable too - 0.70 was written buy
a guy in Japan who seems to have disappeared, and 1.3.x is by a guy in
Russia who said he did it for his own use and wouldn't support it.)

 Thank you for your help, Steve.

Any time.

This is exactly the error that occurs when the directory is not enabled

double process?

Hi debians

I am wondering why I often see things like this upon connecting to the
inet:

 2179 ?S  0:00 sh /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/2firewall
 2181 ?R  0:00 sh /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/2firewall

I mean, why are there two of those processes? The above script should
only be started once: the command run-parts does this from the ip-up
script upon having the PPP link up.
Similarly I see other double shells like the above. (exim or so)
