postgresql y permisos de la base de datos
He instalado postgresql sobre debian slink y funciona perfectamente. Los problemas los estoy teniendo cuando quiero acceder a la base de datos a través de Apache, ya sea con www-pgsql o PHP3 (esto último no lo he probado , pero supongo que el problema es común). En Postgresql se definen permisos para acceder a la base de datos. Apache cuando accede lo hace con el usuario www-data (predefinido por defecto, se puede cambiar). Supongo que PHP3 también lo hace de la misma forma. WWW-PGSQL también tiene definido el usuario como www-data. Este usuario está definido en la máquina Linux. Con el comando de posgresql createuser intento definir ese usuario para darle acceso a la base de datos y me contesta lo siguiente: createuser Enter name of user to add --- www-data createuser: invalid characters in username 'www-data' Parece que lo que le molesta es el guión. He solucionado el problema creando un usuario www y cambiando el usuario de Apache por www y el de www-pgsql también por www. En apache se hace en el fichero de configuración Apache y en www-pgsql lo he hecho editando el binario y donde he visto www-data lo he cambiado por www (cutre pero efectivo en este caso). La pregunta es si alguien ha tenido este problema y como lo ha solucionado pero de una manera un poco más elegante que la mía. Saludos
Debian, Samba y... MacOs?
Tengo una bonita red local cuyo servidor de ficheros e impresoras corre Samba 2.05 sobre Debian Slink. Todo funciona bien y mis usuarios de Windoze son felices, pero necesito conectar un Apple G4 que, seguramente, correrá un MacOs 9. En la documentación de Samba y mis libros de Samba no encuentro nada de Macintosh y en la web de samba.org hace referencia a un producto propietario de una tercera parte (Dave). Mi duda consiste en saber si este software sigue siendo necesario en MacOs 9, o si existe alguna otra forma de conectar el Mac a mi Samba.

Re: Debian, Samba y... MacOs?
el samba se basa en el protocolo SMB que utilizan las redes windoze... en el caso de un mac, mediante modconf puedes añadir los siguientes módulos para la comunicación linux-mac: misc - appletalk Soporte Appletalk: para ver la red mac net - ipddp Soporte Appletalk-IP: para ver la red mac con appletalk ip fs - hfs Soporte HFS: para montar volumenes macintosh en tu linux salutti, teixi.

Re: PDF
Si a alguien le interesa puedo escribir una miniexplicación. Lo haces con print command, no? Pues no. ¿Como lo harias con print command? Asi supongo que solo te valdra para hacerlo en local. A mi me interesaba para que desde cualquier programa windows y desde la red pudieran convertir a pdf y dejarlo en el servidor de intranet. Aqui va una explicacion de como lo tengo hecho. Si te sirve, usalo, pero los daños corren de tu parte. Tengo poquisimo nivel con el bash y estoy segurisimo de que puede mejorarse. Es mas me interesan sugerencias. Yo lo cocine asi: Ingredientes: magicfilter demonio de impresion (lprng) samba ps2pdf 1 pizca de bash Haces un pequeño filtro de impresion asi: #!/bin/bash cat|/etc/magicfilter/ps600-filter/tmp/archivo.ps ps2pdf /tmp/archivo.ps /tmp/archivo.pdf rm /tmp/archivo.ps Llamalo /etc/magicfilter/mifiltro y guardalo. Lo que hace es guardarte el archivo en el directorio temporal. Pero puedes decirle que lo grabe en algun directorio que por ejemplo tengas compartido en la red. En el servidor (supongamos que es 195.120.234.286) se configura una impresora en el printcap. Podemos ayudarnos del magicfilterconfig. Luego rectificamos el campo if para que señale a nuestro filtro de impresion, es decir, if:/etc/magicfilter/mifiltro Tenemos que ser muy limpios y mandar todo lo que no necesitemos a la basura, por ejemplo del modo siguiente lp:/dev/null De este modo todo lo que intente imprimir realmente, se pierde por el dispositivo nulo y no malgastamos papel. Reiniciamos el demonio de impresion. En mi caso /etc/init.d/lprng restart Ahora ya tenemos una cola de impresion (y sin viagra) que nos convierte ps a pdf. Vamos a suponer que le hemos llamado pdf. Compartimos nuestra impresora con samba. Es muy comodo disponer del swat pero si no lo tenemos se puede hacer a mano editando el smb.conf. Desde otro puesto linux en la red. Podemos instalar una impresora con el magicfilter, poniendo un filtro de impresion postcript y le decimos que imprima sobre la cola de impresion del servidor. En el printcap aparecera el campo del servidor remoto rellenado con el nombre o direccion ip, por ejemplo rm:195.120.234.286 Y el campo con el nombre de la impresora remota, se llamara en nuestro ejemplo pdf. Es decir, rp:pdf. Asi conseguimos que mande los trabajos a la impresora llamada pdf del servidor cuya ip es 195.120.234.286 Desde un puesto con windows instalaremos esta impresora poniendole el driver de una impresora postcript (por ejemplo la laserwriter de apple). ¿Y todo esto para que?. Pues para que desde el dichoso word, o desde el pagemaker, o desde cualquier programa de cualquier ordenador, se pueda obtener la documentacion en un formato unico de gran calidad. Añadidos. Si pones la informacion en una intranet, la combinacion acrobatreader+netscape sobre windows, te permite ver los pdf en la misma ventana del navegador. Algo que para mi es muy util. Espero que os sirva Un saludo David

Preferiría navegar por la información con algo como lynx antes que el info, un tanto incómodo para mi gusto (aunque desde XEmacs tampoco está tan mal). Pues yo debo ser un bicho raro porque no me parece tan complicado el info (sólo hay que aprenderse 4 o 5 teclas). De todas formas prueba el tkinfo.

dselect behaves differently in 2 similar situations?
Hello, I have a woody box here... A few days ago, I did an upgrade from within dselect, and had ssh installed, but not with libssl09 (on which it depends). I installed libssl09a, and forced the install with the Q key when prompted to solve the dependency/conflict problem... Things worked well, and I actually used ssh with no problems (as far as I could see). (I wanted libssl09a because I also installed openssl) But today the ssh package was upgraded... So I tried to upgrade using dselect... There was the same problem, and I tried to force the same thing as before (keep libssl09a installed and don't install libssl09), hit Q... And all right, I was in the main menu again. Then, when I asked dselect to [I]nstall, it said the only thing it'd do was to remove ssh!!! I also tried apt-get with all relevant options I saw in the manpage, but it also refused to do anything but removing ssh. Both ssh packages have the very same dependencies, and the only difference is that the installed version Provides: rsh-server: Version: 1:1.2.3-6 Provides: rsh-server Depends: libc6 (= 2.1.2), libpam0g, libssl09, libwrap0, libz1, libpam-modules, libwrap0 (= 7.6-1.1) Suggests: ssh-askpass, debconf Conflicts: ssh-nonfree, ssh-socks, ssh2, debconf ( 0.2.17), debconf-tiny ( 0.2.17) Version: 1:1.2.3-8 Depends: libc6 (= 2.1.2), libpam0g, libssl09, libwrap0, libz1, libpam-modules, libwrap0 (= 7.6-1.1) Suggests: ssh-askpass, debconf Conflicts: ssh-nonfree, ssh-socks, ssh2, debconf ( 0.2.17), debconf-tiny ( 0.2.17) Well.. Is there any way to upgrade ssh only, other than ftping to ftp.debian.org, getting the .deb file and then using dpkg manually? And -- this is what's puzzling me -- why would dselect now refuse to do something it did just a few days ago? As far as I remember, it was not even upgraded (so I'd have the same dselect program behaving differently in 2 similar situations)...

dynamic IP addressing
hello. i have an ethernet card attatched to a DSL modem. i'll provide more hardware details, if requested, but for now i'm just wondering if there's a quick way to setting-up the dynammic ip-addressing. (preferrably: without having to go through the DynIP howto in order to get a net-connection, though it is very neat that a person can learn about networking by installing this system.) i've already tried to install debian, and need to re-check to see if there are any tulip ethernet-card drives available in the standard distribution, but figured i'd send this question for now. (hopefully to get encouraged about giving it another shot) thank you. -- s.c

Then, restart Enlightenment (use the left-click menu). Now, you can choose your new themes from the middle-click menu. It's really pretty simple... I wouldn't worry about apt-getting that sort of thing (if you even can). There is supposed to be a tool that will automatically update your themes, but last time I checked, it was in the alpha stages. Can't recall what it was called, sorry... Tom

When i built it i found a .deb package ready to install. I dpkg -i the kernel image. My system warns me that there is a kernel image with the same name installed yet (my version has a revision of my own) but i proceed. All goes well but whe i try to install a new package using dselect, in the Install session, dselect tells me he wants to upgrade my custom kernel with the standard kernel having the same name kernel so i've to interrupt the installation of my packages. Can somebody tell me ho to solve this problem ? Can i build the custom kernel with a different name (not only the revision name) ? Thanks in advance Luca De Giorgi

Well, to answer your first question, remove '-F' from the options list to
ls.
Regarding your second question, do a 'find . -type d'. Read the man page
for find.

2.2.15 code is the same as the 2.2.10, as what regards this part. Adding
these extra printk showed me that the string ignore is composed only by the
first word, even if actually there are more than one. i.e if i put:
options ignore='aa hdb hdc'
it will just appear:
ide-cd: will ignore aa
I tried to find where does ignore come from and I found that it's determined
by a function called MODULE_PARM(), which does not belong to ide-cd.c so I
think the problem does not belong to the ide-cd module. But I couldn't do
anything more 'cause my programming knowhow is very limited. anyway, thanks

If you built postgresql on your own, you may find it easier in the long run to build the 7.0.2 debian packages from source, especially if you're planning on running it on more than one machine.

What is happening is that Debian has a version of the same kernel with a revision number higher than what you are using for your custom kernel.

(preferrably: without having to go through the DynIP howto in order to get a net-connection, though it is very neat that a person can learn about networking by installing this system.) i've already tried to install debian, and need to re-check to see if there are any tulip ethernet-card drives available in the standard distribution, but figured i'd send this question for now. (hopefully to get encouraged about giving it another shot) See Ethernet-HOWTO if you have problems with your card. When you have got your ethernet card ok, then take a look at this: http://www.oswg.org/oswg-nightly/DHCP.html You need to get dhcpcd client software working. If you don't already have it, download the debian package. (You need it because you want to get that dynamic ip from server). When you have the software, working ethernet card and the document, rest is very simple. First read the document. Make sure your ethernet card is working, then install the software and reboot. You may need to change some configuration options, but everything is hopefully explained in the document.

If most of these operations are ineffective, why are they performed? They are carried out because a great deal of money (mainly belonging to medical insurance companies) follows the patient to the operating theatre. Consultants earn referral and operating fees from hospitals which in turn provide consultants with free facilities and consulting rooms from which to practice. It is therefore not in anyone's interest to turn away patients by suggesting alternative treatment options, and the medical insurance companies and patients themselves are not in a postition to know any better or to dispute recommendations made by a surgeon. Whether you are a patient or a medical insurance company, you need to know that there are effective alternatives to undergoing spinal surgery. You need to stop thinking about surgery and consider physical therapy. In 30 years of practice, we have only had to refer two patients for surgery. For information on non-surgical treatment of spinal conditions please visit our UK website. Back surgery has proved to be ineffective in the vast majority of operations, because the overall majority of spinal disorders are due to mechanical trauma, which can be effectively treated without surgery. Common conditions such as herniated discs, nerve root compression, scoliosis etc can all be cured or at least made symptomless using our methods of treatment which form an essential part of Orthopaedic Medicine. If you can afford to pay for spinal operation, you can easily afford to come to London for a month's treatment (that usually all it takes), while staying at a 5-star hotel in the bargain. You will return to your country a new person with your back and wallet intact. The average cost of curing a herniated disc condition at our clinic is £3,000-£4,000, while the cost of staying for a month in a top hotel (£3,000) and air travel (£800) between the USA and London still means that the final price compared to surgery is cheap. One difference that youare sure to notice is that you won't be crippled for lifeas a result of unnecessary spinal surgery. And how much is that worth to you in terms of money?

Boot from the rescue, give it the root when it asks, and tell it you want to get the drivers and base system from the network. Two floppies. I don't think it includes a DHCP client, though, so you may need to note your assigned IP number and such instead of relying on DHCP to assign that. -- Brian Moore | Of course vi is God's editor.

You must manually download the *.tar.gz file from ftp.netscape.com and make sure you get a version with a file name that matches the pattern you got above, eg., communicator*-v4*.x86-*-linux*glibc*.tar* Once you download the file from netscape simply copy it to /tmp and rerun the installation via apt-get.

Password Comlexity
Hello, I am a graduate student, just started working on the area of computer security. Few months ago, when I used Debian OS, I remembered when you create a new account and enter password for it, the kernel warns you if it categorize the password as simple. I want to learn about the procedure with which the kernel decides that whether a particular password string is complex or simple. Thanks in advance Sajjad What are you N2?

In PAM there is a cracklib module which checks passwords constantly, you should look there as well.

That looks reasonable, but according to the bounce you posted earlier on mail is actually being given a domain part of phoenix.phoenix. Try adding that to mydestination and see where that gets you. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFShttp://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/ pgp4zSQk6AojU.pgp Description: PGP signature
