AFAIK. En el samba tienes que definir usuarios -no máquinas- que compartiran los recursos del servidor. En el NFS defines máquinas. En ambos casos das acceso a un directorio y sus subdirectorios en la máquina servidor, nada más. 2- Samba puede utilizarse como un servidor para clientes winsos. ¿que tengo que configurar para esto ? Siento no poder ayudarte. 3- ¿Como me conecto a otra maquina? Usando samba no tengo ni idea. Usando NFS es con el comando que ya te comenté. Existen otras maneras de conectarse al servidor: - Abriendo una sesión de shell, con telnet o ssh. - Abriendo una sesión de ftp. - Conectarse para bajarse el correo. - Conectarse a un servidor Web.

Sería extraño que no esté instalado el NFS, en linux es de lo más estándar. Lo que puede pasar es que es script encargado de arrancar los daemons relacionados con nfs detecte que el exports está vacío y no los dispare. Así es como funciona en Debian Slink si no me equivoco. Tendrías que crear el archivo exports y ejecutar: /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs stop /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs start cada vez que modifiques el archivo exports, para que los cambios tengan efecto deberías hacer: /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs reload En Debian Potato las cosas parece que cambiaron.

Sí, mas o menos. En unix todo el control se hace a través de usuario, mientras que en el protocolo smb (de windows) el control de acceso suele hacerse por recursos.

Los recursos exportados (o compartidos), todo se define en el archivo de configuración de samba: /etc/samba/smb.conf. 3- ¿Como me conecto a otra maquina? ... Conozco un par de clientes del protocolo smb: - smbclient: muy útil para hacer debugging, lo podés usar para ver los recursos disponibles en alguna máquina o para conectarte a algún recurso y poner/sacar archivos, imprimir files, etc. - smbmount: para realmente montar un directorio de la máquina remota en algún punto del árbol de directorios local. -- Saludos, O__ Enzo.,/ ()=\() Enzo A.

Actualización de Perl
Hola, mu buenas. Es la primera vez que participo en la lista y va a ser, como no diran algunos, para preguntar. Seguro que alguien tiene la stable de Debian, que trae perl 5.004, y ha tenido que actualizar a perl 5.005 built 03 (un standard). Pues bien, ya instalé perl-5.005-base (dpkg --force-conflicts -i perl-5.005-base*) y perl-5.005 (normal). Me reconce que la version es esa (5.005), pero tengo otro problema. La historia real es que necesito cargar algunos modulos por la via tradicional (fichero .tar.gz, perl Makefile.PL, make, make install). Son modulos que ya probe en RedHat y van bien, pero al hacer el make me da multitud de errores de que no encuentra muchos archivos .o Pues bien, cómo puedo instalar esos modulos (quizá esos .deb que vienen en la distribución pudieran serlo, pero MiniVend no los reconoce) por la vía dura. Me falta algo? Quiza las cabeceras o algo así? Muchisimas gracias. Miguel A.

S. Champ wrote: hello. -- -- -- -- an excerpt from the text, below, which may be the root of the issue: 2) crucial question: do i need to have dhcpcd up-and-running before or after i start-up the pppoe client-daemon ? and why do i need to have dhcpcd running, at all? ( shouldn't the pppoe software be handling this? ) Some suggestions: 1. Get right with your ISP. If your account is severely delinquent (whatever that means), it doesn't matter how you configure Debian, you're not going to connect to the Internet. 2. Make sure your NIC is properly installed and configured. This is not necessarily easy. 3. Install the pppoe.deb package. Read the README in the pppoe.deb package. It will tell you exactly how to configure all necessary files in /etc and how to start and stop pppd to connect via your DSL line. Do exactly what the README tells you; it works just fine with PacBell's flavor of DSL. 4. Read the info at the PacBell site about system settings to connect via DSL. What you mostly need from there are the ip addresses for the DNS servers at PacBell. You add those nameserver addresses to /etc/resolv.conf. If your account at PacBell is delinquent, you won't be able to get to this information. See step 1. 5. That's all there is to it to get connected via a PacBell DSL line. PacBell certainly doesn't make it easy, but they don't prevent it either. They just leave everything as an exercise for the student but that's the way Linux folk like it, eh?

( instant gratification, and no lessons-learned ... the ms-w method?) i've looked through howtos (ethernet, pppoe? , * ), and other documents, to no avail. maybe i'm missing something. i've tried, in various combinations: the deb package of pppoe ; dhcpcd ; pump . none of these combinations have worked. i tried something like pppoe -d with whatever argument is used to send the debug output to a file, and got a command-line full of odd-looking characters, and a file full of hexadecimal values that i have no idea about the meaning of. this file i chose the IPv6 module, when installing debian, because it seemed like a neat thing (value-added for my impression of the installed OS). i'm wondering if this might be the cause of any problems. i cannot currently contact the DSL provider for assistance, as my account is severely delinquent, and one note to them about this could spoil the connection. furthermore, i'm very unsure about their ability to be a help with this. ( the microsoft marketing-program, while far from stamping-out the usage of Linux [ and foolish of them, if they thought that otherwise might happen ] has left a blank-spot where linux should be, in the collective public knowledge-set . i find it to be a personal goal to remedy this, to provide a better system if, we can. we darn well should be able to, with the wealth of (free!) available tools. ) -- -- -- -- 'route-add's, and the general dynamic-ip-assigning process: i've looked through the log-file of the connection-client (?) that was provided by Pacific Bell, for connecting to the DSL service from ms-windows. i'd found two route add commands, each with the same gateway and netmask, but each with a different metric. for some reason, the log-file, today, is only showing one route add, with metric 2. i'm wanting to know how this is (?supposed to be?) handled with the tools on debian: excerpts from the (ms-w dsl-connection client) log-file: Connect: Tap IPAddress: 169.254.131.55 ...

The machine bios cannot boot from hdb. 2) Is it possible and safe to install 'lilo' so that I can boot both the OS directly from the hard disks? Questions: a) How should the lilo.conf file be written? b) Is it possible to get lilo 'out from the mbr' (the previous situation restored) just by 'lilo -u' command if something goes wrong? Yes, no problem. You can use essentially the same /etc/lilo.conf as Johann did, with a couple of possible changes: 1) His root partition is /dev/hdb2. Just substitute yours in the root= line. 2) If you're running slink, you have the old Lilo, so the lba32 line is not valid. You don't need that anyway if your root partition is below 1024 cylinders. Here's a start: (I added a couple of minor things) boot=/dev/hda (install Lilo in MBR) compact install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map prompt timeout=100 vga=normal image=/vmlinuz(assumes this is where your kernel is) root=/dev/your_root_partition label=Linux read-only other=/dev/hda1 label=win98 Look at the file /usr/doc/lilo/Manual.txt for explanations of options, or to find others you may want to use. Lilo automatically backs up the sector that it replaces when you run the 'lilo' command. 'lilo -u' will reverse that process, and put back whatever was there before. However, unless you specify otherwise, it will only make the backup the FIRST time you install lilo to any particular location such as /dev/hda. It names the backup file according to where Lilo was installed and keeps that file in /boot. So in your case where you're installing to the MBR (boot=/dev/hda), the original MBR that you replace will be the one that 'lilo -u' will put back. In other words, you can install Lilo a 2nd or 3rd or 4th time to the MBR if you want to tweak things, but still be able to restore the original MBR with 'lilo -u'. Again, see /usr/doc/Manual.txt or 'man lilo' for more info.
some basic unix commands and mswordview?
Hi, I started using mswordview just today. (My system is Debian/GNU linux 'slink'.) It works fine and good. (I've used latex2html as well to make good html-documents earlier, but when starting from msword docs it is too much trouble to convert them first to latex and then to html...) Mswordview will generate html documents form msword documents. The output is written on the screen as default. But how is it possible convert with a single command many docs into html? For example I've got: __ asiakirja1.doc asiak2.doc asia.doc etc about twenty word documents starting with 'a'. _ And I wanted to get them each into html, if possible with a single command. I've tried something like: mswordview as*.doc as*.html But that gives me only one html document: as*.html. What to do?

I also want users to have access to their mail folders, which I believe becomes possible with an IMAP-based system, correct? Are there any issues to consider when converting from POP3 to IMAP?

I did not have the other debian packages to satisfy the dependencies so the package didn't install correctly.

How could this happen and what's the best way to reinstall so it doesn't happen or fix the problem without reinstalling? * To see what would happen, I downloaded the pcmcia-modules deb file (2.0.36) from the Debian-2.0 site (copying it over to the Toshiba via floppies). This I was able to install with dpkg -i ; so, while the modules are 2.0.34, there are two sets of pcmcia modules, 2.0.34 and 2.0.36 . The Ethernet card requires pcnet_cs.0 so I entered the necessary lines in /etc/pcmcia/config and started pcmcia with /etc/init.d/pcmcia start (I have this card working on a Linux box that runs with Turbolinux [quite similar to Redhat]). On the Toshiba w/ Debian it's not perfect yet, but the card is being recognized, at least partially. Anything else I need to do? Does the network need to be configured before the card will be recognized properly? * Finally, I downloaded the kernel source from /Debian-2.0/ and tried dpkg -i. It seems that I need to install binutils first, or at the same time. Anything else needed before I can recompile the kernel? bin86, maybe? kernel headers of some kind? Thanks!

Have a look at both. I just tried apsfilter, went through the apsfilterconfig script and when I try to test print I got an error. You can see the error in the apsfilter.log attached file (where it says tubería rota it translates to broken pipe). Anyway, I purged apsfilter and tried magicfilter. Ran magicfilterconfig --force: Printer name Short name Spool dirDevice Input filter --- XeroX DocuPri xerox /var/spool/lpd/xerox /dev/lp0 ljet4l * I created the xerox/ directory for spooling (shouldn't I change the group owner to lp instead of root?); Perhaps, but I think it should work as it is. From the list of filters it gave me, I chose the default one (ljet4l). I know this is not a laserjet, but I don't know which one to try, as there was none close to cdj550, which is the one I found supports these xerox models: Xerox Document Homecentre Xerox DocuPrint C5 C6 Xerox Workcentre 450cp Xerox xj6c it is called dj550c in magicfilter. ljet4l probably won't work.

One of export PRINTER=lp export PRINTER=xerox export PRINTER=XeroX DocuPrint C15 or, since lp is the default anyway, unset PRINTER would work. Noone except lpd ever wants to know to which interface (say: kernel device) your printer is attached, and lpd can read it off from printcap. Everyone else just needs to know the name (or one of the names) of the correct printcap entry and this name is what lpr's -P option expects. This may have been the problem with apsfilter, too, but the error message isn't very informative. broken pipe usually means that one of the (many) programs in the chain in which the printer data is passed on has died unexpectedly. [...] Does that mean your Xerox is HP DeskJet compatible? If so, both magicfilter and apsfilter will work. I don't know. I just called to the customer service and asked them what driver they use. They couldn't tell me and they'll have a tech to call me back. If the dj550c/cdj550 driver works then it is compatible to a DeskJet 550 Color.

ThinkPad 600, kernel 2.2.17pre6, and hibernation
This is just to inform ThinkPad 600 users that I have tested the latest kernel, 2.2.17pre6, and can report that SFAICT the hibernation problem has been solved. With kernel 2.2.15, when one would request hibernation the machine would hang up for a few seconds, beep, and then hibernate. But the problem was more serious than there being a delay: at the time of the beep the APM software was also falsely carrying out a resume sequence, with the result that the machine was not properly prepared for hibernation. The ThinkPad 600 needs to be prepared for sedation by stopping all programs generating sounds, so that on resume they will not attempt to make sounds before the ALSA cs4236 driver has had a chance to restore the sound chip register contents which are lost during a sedation. (Since release 0.5.8 the ALSA cs4236 driver restores sound chip registers on resume. The current Debian alsa-base package includes the script /etc/apm/event.d/alsa which STOPs and CONTs sound processes before and after sedate and resume. I like Debian.) The release notes for Alan Cox's Linux 2.2.16pre5 describe changes to the APM driver designed to handle an IBM ThinkPad BIOS bug. The bug is that Thinkpads keep sending SUSPEND events until something else happens. A quick look at the patch reveals that the APM_IGNORE_MULTIPLE_SUSPEND configuration option has been removed and the driver will now reject multiple suspends all the time. This, we may presume, is what has fixed the problem described above. Thomas Hood

Re: Forcing X to use 100dpi fonts?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] com [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Nate anyone know how to force X to use 100dpi ? Try adding '-dpi 100' to your X command line, either by modifying your display manager's configuration file or by tacking it on to the end of a startx line (startx :0 -- -dpi 100). Also, make sure 100dpi fonts are listed before 75dpi fonts in your XF86Config/xfs configuration. Keep in mind that scalable (e.g. Type 1) fonts can be scaled to any size at any resolution, so if the X server (or font server) believes that you should be using 75dpi fonts, it'll synthesize scalable fonts at 75dpi sizes. This can cause some of the mixed-point-size lossage. (It also seems to me that, in the specific case of 12 pt. Helvetica, an exception line in the gsfonts package forces 75dpi fonts. It'd help if someone else could confirm this, though. The easiest workaround is to comment out the broken line in /etc/X11/fonts/gsfonts.alias, IIRC.

RE: FTP, MASQ, certian hosts timeout
In researching this it looks like the servers that lag 5 minutes were failing to do a reverse lookup for the ftp connection because of a bad DNS setting with ATT (they had a typo). This turned out to be the problem. Thanks! -Original Message- From: Chris Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 11:16 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: FTP, MASQ, certian hosts timeout For some reason, with some ftp hosts my FTPs will timeout when I try to go to them, every single time. Other hosts work perfectly fast every single time. I've got two particular hosts that I work with all the time. A Sun OS box with one ISP that works perfect. The second is a Linux box with a different ISP that is slow. Traceroutes to both ISPs actually show a closer and faster connection to the linux box. My gateway is a Debian 2.2 masq'd firewall (kernel 2.2.14). From my PC behind the masq, my pc will timeout going to the ISP with the linux box. If I go to the linux box from a unix machine behind the masq, it will say it connected to the ISP but it will wait about 5 minutes before it prompts for a username. Once I'm connected, transfers are as fast as they should be. When I access both of these ISPs from home (DSL) I can connect immediately without any hesitation from either of them. I can ssh to both ISPs without this 5 min delay. It is specific to FTP. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? -- -=-=-=-=-=- Chris Wood Kitco, Inc. 801-489-2097 Wencor West, Inc.
