Los telefonos de RDSI
Hola a todos... Estamos utilizando una linea RDSI para conectar a Internet, y el numero que utilizamos como REMOTEMSN es normal, 91xxx, pero ahora me gustaria pasar ese numero a otra compañia de telefonia, para lo cual tengo que agregar un prefijo mas. Bueno, pues cuando se lo agrego, me pasa la conexion a incoming, en vez de outgoing, es decir como si la llamada fuera recibida. ¿Alguien sabe como hacer esto? Saludos.

Sería mas eficiente y compacto si en vez de crear mifiltro como lo has hecho, creas mifiltro igual a ps600-filter y inviertes el papel de las secciones Postscript y PDF: en el original no se hace nada cuando es postscript y se ejecuta el ghostscript cuando sea pdf; en tu filtro tu quieres que no haga nada en el caso de pdf y que ejecute al ghostscript con opciones de salida en pdf y gravando el resultado en /tmp/archivo.pdf (si no sabes como ejecutar gs con salida pdf, mirate el script ps2pdf y si no sabes como hacer que gs grave en /tmp/archivo.pdf preguntame). Si quieres que ignore todo lo que no sea postscript o pdf, también puedes tratar de eso dentro del filtro modificando el ps600-filter. Saludos, Jaime

Re: apt-get
Eso es mejor que lo hagas desde dselect. Respondo a tu pregunta partiendo del punto que no manejas muy bien la instalada de paquetes. Así pues, ¿porque tienes que usar dselect?-Resp: Por las dependencias. Si utilizas dselect sabrás que paquetes deben de ir con las xfree, cual xserver vas a utilizar, el xf86config imprescindible, el svga-xserver si tienes pantalla superVGA y un resto de cosas más. Si quieres no usar dselect solamente instalas el paquete de más alta jerarquía quien te arrastrara las demas dependencias, ese paquete seria el manejador de ventanas (twm es uno de ellos), el xf86config y listo (¿Si?). Pero eso si te recomiendo el uso de dselect, el es un excelente programa (en la selección de programas, corriendo dselect, con / puedes buscar una cadena especifica y con \ repites la busqueda al siguiente) Suerte a todos.

Eso si aclaro que no ensayo XF86Setup desde cuando usaba RH 4, pero recuerdo bien que debido al entorno grafico de la metida de datos siempre le puse lo que no era o no sabia como cambiarle un rango a la resolución o extrañamente mi CL5436 era soportada pero nunca me funcionaba. Igual recuerdo la cantidad de cosas que se pueden elegir y que me confundian (y me confunden aún pero en menor medida). Creo yo que para empezar seria bueno xf86config que le da poquitas opciones y lo guia a uno de la mano (eso si el genera el esquema igual que el XF86Setup), ademas tenemos 653 tarjetas de video de donde elegir (acabo de contarlas). Yo uso solamente la 3.3.5 todavia no me he bajado la 4. Cabe notar que una vez realizado la configuración de las X-w podemos afinarla con XF86Setup (eso dice en dselect) y cosa que intentare más rato De lo de dselect y apt, en estos dias he tenido muchos problemas con apt. dselect no me ha dado la oportunidad de escudriñar mas en apt pues dselect me permite una cosa o la otra, asi por ejemplo, en el uso de lpr y lprng, o con xno se que y gpm, o con xemacs y los mule y no mule, y con otra candidad de cosas que no recuerdo ahora. apt es formidable indudablemente pero cuando conoces el programa que instalaras y además yo a duras penas uso 2 dedos para escribir en el teclado. Pero entre gustos no hay disgustos y todos somos amigos. Ademas, quien soy yo para opinar si solo llevo 2 meses con debian. Suerte a todos. El vie, 30 jun 2000, Jaime E. Villate escribió: Me parece mucho mejor usar apt y no dselect (el apt substituyó al dselect).

Necesitas hacer: apt-get install xserver-el_de_tu_placa apt-get install xf86setup apt-get install gestor_de_ventanas_preferido para instalar todo lo que necesitas (puedes querer después otras cosas como xdm, wdm, etc). El apt también permite hacer búsquedas (y mejores que las de dselect) como hemos discutido en mensajes anteriores apt-cache search lo-que-sea apt-cache --full search lo-que-sea etc. Jaime Villate -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Re: need help with ip-forwarding
1- Recompile de kernel for supporting additional MASQ-modules
2- add the module port-forwarding (as module or part of the kernel) and
recompile (reset etc)
3- add a ipchains ACCEPT entry for the port 80 on your firewall box
4- add the rule for redirecting the port.
IMPORTANT: u will not can test the instalation, i mean, if u try to connect
to the extip:80 u will no be redirected, ONLY packets from which becoming
from the external interface will be redirected. It's a fail (or not, i dont
know) of port-redirect. Just try it from a external system or tell to a boy
about for cheking your redirection.
A SHORT EXAMPLE:
#!/bin/bash
# Initial Conf
extint=eth0
extip=`/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr' | awk '{print $2}' | sed
-e's/.*://'`
wwwip=192.168.1.10
IPCHAINS=/sbin/ipchains
PORTFW=/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw
# accept rule for port-forw
$IPCHAINS -A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -i $extint -d $extip 80 -j ACCEPT
# Place for ACCEPT rules (add ACCEPT for ftp ... etc , all services u

# Place for DENY/REJECT rules (just cut :1023 ;) and some uppers (nfs

#Place for MASQ/Forwd rules

Re: Changing SU's password ?
fast answer: passwd root longer answer: su passwd even longer answer: su is the name of the program that stands for Swap User . You can use it to swap your current user to whatever other user that is defined on your system (check man su). The SuperUser on a Unix system is named root . Yeah, the most initial part of the filesystem is, too. Note you can create as many superusers on your system as you do want, by adding users with UID=0 in your passwd database. But that's probably something you would want to do for 2 reasons only: 1. Changing the default shell of your interactive superuser sessions without interfering with programs which want a special standard shell as the root's shell 2. Having a rescue superuser account at hand in case of problems with the first one.

I can (sort of) reproduce it by issuing ypwhich -m from the box itself or another machine in my LAN which is just a NIS client. Suddenly there are several copies of ypserv in the process list which consume ridiculous amounts of memory and cause the machine to start swapping excessively, bringing it to a crawl. I haven't seen this problem with NIS under debian before (I have set up an NIS server in debian as well as in SunOS 4.1.3). Is there perhaps something wrong with your data? I don't think so. The configuration of a NIS server is a rather trivial thing. I think both my configuration files and my maps are sane. And even if there WAS a problem within the files, ypserv shouldn't run amok, should it? I don't know why so many servers would be spawned. That's really weird so many ypserv's are being started. If you wanted you could run ypserv under strace perhaps to see what it's doing before it forks. Ok, this is something that I could at least *try*, altho I doubt that it will help Let's see, should I find the cause for my problem I will report them here.

Need help with installing Debian on a COMPAC PRESARIO 5716
I'm now going to install debian on a third machine. So far everything has gone nice, but the third machine is a bit troublesome. It is a COMPAC PRESARIO 5716. The problem is that this machine shows a big red Q at startup and no BIOS info. I therefore do not know which keys to press to access the BIOS in order to turn on CD-ROM booting. It currently boots from floppy first before hard disc. So is it possible to make one or perhaps two floppy boot discs that could boot it up and the switch to do the rest of the installation from the CDs I have of Potato TC 2 ?

The inkjet printers are known to be cheap to buy, but they charge a leg and an arm for the ink. Some manufacturers are known to sell their printers with a net *loss*, earning their money on ink alone. Let's say you have to change the cartridges twice a year, for keeping them from drying out alone, and I guess you have paid the printer over again in two years! Nope, if you're not interested in colors, buy a laser. The cartridges are perhaps even more expensive, but they last many times longer. You can, of course, get refiller ink for both types, and this makes inkjet printers look a little brighter. Be sure to find a place where you actually can *buy* this sort of stuff, as I'm sure original ink pays the shops better and the printer manufacturers shun no means of telling you unoriginal ink might destroy your printer. (Fat chance!, in many cases.) Anyway. Buy the next cheapest you can get, the absolute cheapest ones tend to be money out your window. Second: What type of printer? Check the compatibility lists.

Re: linux + wan (frame relay)
Mario Olimpio de Menezes wrote: Hi, I would like to know if Linux (Debian/GNU) can work with wan protocols, especifically frame-relay? Linux has drivers for the frame relay protocol, and drivers for WAN cards. Stock Linux kernels do not have these drivers compiled, neither in the kernel, nor as modules. One must recompile the kernel himself for WAN support. It is a fairly simple matter to add that support: merely selecting in the X or curses configuration menus, typically, for it. That's, if I buy a wan card, can I route with Linux? Certainly! Should I expect some troubles? Troubles are pretty relative to expectations; expect some work. Some limitation? Open source = no limitation. Can I safely substitute a Cisco router with a linux+wan card? It really depends on what features you need. I had a momentary reaction remembering an need of OSPF routing using Cisco equipment in a past life, but I recover knowing that OSPF has been recently added to Linux. For simple IP routing, yes, you can. For routing with filtering (firewalling), yes, you can. For routing with protocol, maybe: we'd have to look more closely.
Re: linux + wan (frame relay)
I used a WAN card (a csu/dsu) with Linux. It was a card that was not supported by the Linux kernel, so I had to obtain the driver source for the card and compile the drivers. The problem I had with that card was that I could not compile the drivers with any kernel newer than 2.0.29. The card was a RISCom n2csu/dsu and I used it successfully with frame relay. -- Andrew

It is a COMPAC PRESARIO 5716. The problem is that this machine shows a big red Q at startup and no BIOS info. I therefore do not know which keys to press to access the BIOS in order to turn on CD-ROM booting. It currently boots from floppy first before hard disc. So is it possible to make one or perhaps two floppy boot discs that could boot it up and the switch to do the rest of the installation from the CDs I have of Potato TC 2 ?

Re: iMac: boot Debian Linux from CD-ROM
Hello Ethan and everyone! potato is up and running on my iMac G3! Ethan's webpages were immensely useful. especially the detailed file on using mac-fdisk for partitioning. (It took about 6 hours of fussing around, so that's not too bad, is it?) What follows might be just an esthetic question (since I'm able to boot to either Debian or MAC OS with the option key reboot), and perhaps not (should I want something cleaner???): (1) I'm using yaboot version 6. This is what was on the vendor CDs. I'm afraid to use the menu_ofboot.b file, even though the bug looks like it's been fixed (actually I tried it, and I couldn't reboot onto linux, which is no fun!!!). So via MAC OS, I put ybin-0.16.tar.gz on a floppy. But, I'm unable to mount the floppy from linux. What's the command line??? (mount is telling me to use insmod, but that's not working either) (2) in any event, should I install ybin-0.16 to avoid eventual problems? ... I'm still writing to you from MAC OS, I have no clue how to get started with PPP (e.g. to download ybin), emacs is running, but I don't know how to get X11 working. thanks a lot! Philip

mpich -- Help!
I'm looking for some help with mpich (parallel processing). I've got task-parallel-computing-node installed on two connected machines (ivan and alexi), and task-parallel-computing-dev installed on one of them (ivan). rsh-server is set up on both, and I've got a ~/.rhosts file on each that allows me into both machines. I have also set up the /etc/mpich/machines.LINUX with the fully qualified domain names for the two machines. Finally, my home directory is cross-mounted on both machines.

As I know *nothing* more than that, I don't know what to do next to get my source tarball (LAME) compiled and installed...? dpkg-deb is lower-level than you probably want. Install the devscripts, packaging-manual, maint-guide, debhelper, and dh-make packages (together with their dependencies), and preferably get the source for the hello-debhelper package too and examine it. Read the Packaging Manual and New Maintainer's Guide that you've just installed. You should find that the following will get you most of the way there: * Untar the upstream tarball; * Rename the directory to be of the form packagename-upstreamversion (e.g. lame-1.0 or whatever version LAME is at); * Type 'dh_make' and follow the prompts (single binary means a single binary package, by the way, not there is only one binary executable in this package); * Edit the files in the debian/ subdirectory.

Re: linux + wan (frame relay)
Hi! Two years ago I had the same doubt and evaluated some options. I finally decided to go for a small cisco router for the following reasons: - At that time the linux kernel didn't do traffic shaping - WAN boards were expensive and did'n have direct support in my country (Portugal) - Cisco hardware is probably more reliable than a PC with one board in it (I confirmed this since we still use Linux for the internal router and firewall all along with the cisco router for the Internet connection - PC's do fail a lot and the cisco router never failed) What we lost with this decision was: - Traffic logging and statistics - Efficient line monitoring - Free software upgrades If you are serious about this connection, spend a little bit more and buy a dedicated router or be prepared to switch PC's very fast when the the CPU hangs, the RAM fails or motherboard burns.

Experiences with Winbond w89c840f
Hello list, I am looking for an ethernet card that is not very big. I found a nice card in a store, that uses the Winbond w89c840f chipset. The SuSE support page lists the driver for this card as experimental and says it's supported by an external program and not by the kernel directly. Any experiences with that chipset?
