Apache
Nas peña. Tengo un servidor apache corriendo en mi red casera. Con lsof -i me dice que todos los apachitos corren como root,aun cuando en el archivo de configuración el user y grupo del server es www-data. User www-data Group www-data (pater) apache1071 root 16u IPv4 1867 TCP *:socks (LISTEN) (fils) apache1072 root 16u IPv4 1867 TCP *:socks (LISTEN) apache1073 root 16u IPv4 1867 TCP *:socks (LISTEN) apache1074 root 16u IPv4 1867 TCP *:socks (LISTEN) apache1075 root 16u IPv4 1867 TCP *:socks (LISTEN) apache1076 root 16u IPv4 1867 TCP *:socks (LISTEN) En cambio GTop me muestra el padre como root y los niños como www-data. #l /usr/sbin/apache -rwxr-xr-x1 root root 313456 Apr 29 2000 /usr/sbin/apache Que pasa con esto? Podeis decirme algo? El problema es que mi conexión a internet es casi-permanente con DHCP(red de cable). Aún cuando el tráfico de fuera-adentro está restingido por mi proveedor(no es posible acceder al server desde internet) que ocurre con la red de mi ISP? Ya tuve un port-scan desde dos equipos que pertenecen a la red del ISP.(Posiblemente ellos mismos intentando saber que tienen en casa ,aunque cuando les pregunte por ello se hicieron los locos) Se podrían obtener privilegios de root a traves de apache? Un saludo y gracias anticipadas. Cesar.
Disco duro nuevo instalado, pero ¡linux confunde hdb con hda!
Buenas. Por fin he instalado el disco duro nuevo, pero ahora me ha surgido un problema gordo que no sé cómo resolver. En primer lugar aquí van las particiones que tengo (están creadas con el fdisk de linux), el disco duro nuevo es hdb: rvmsoft:/tmp# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 621 cylinders Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 220443488+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hda2 221 4204032006 FAT16 /dev/hda3 * 421 605372960 83 Linux /dev/hda4 606 621 32256 82 Linux swap Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1240 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hdb1 1 128 1028128+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 129 1021 7173022+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb3 1022 1038136552+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hdb4 1039 1240 16225656 FAT16 Las particiones del disco duro nuevo aún no están formateadas, a excepción de hdb4 que lo he hecho desde windows. La primera vez que la he formateado he tenido un problemilla ya que al intentar copiar algo a la partición me decia que no se podían crear nombres de ficheros largos ¿? He vuelto a linux y le he cambiado el tipo de /dev/hdb4 al código e que se corresponde con Win95/Fat16, pero al arrancar windows se ha hecho un lío y me mostraba dos particiones más (y D: la sacaba como E:). De nuevo en linux he vuelto a cambiar el tipo de esa partición al código 6. Otra vez en windows he vuelto a formatear pero esta vez le he puesto etiqueta. Ahora sí que acepta nombres largos, e incluso he instalado algún programa. Pero el problema gordo llega ahora. Vuelvo a linux y antes de formatear las particiones para linux trato de montar la partición de windows. Para ello he puesto esta línea en el /etc/fstab: /dev/hdb4/E vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0 que es una copia casi exacta de /dev/hda2/D vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0 que funciona perfectamente. Pues bien al intentar montar la partición me sale esto (por supuesto ya había creado el directorio /E): rvmsoft:/tmp$ mount /E [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 16,check=n,conv=b,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,bmap] [me=0x0,cs=0,#f=0,fs=0,fl=0,ds=0,de=0,data=0,se=0,ts=0,ls=0,rc=0,fc=4294 967295] Transaction block size = 512 VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev 03:44. mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb4, or too many mounted file systems ¿Qué diablos pasa? He intentado montarla con otros tipos como msdos pero siempre me dice lo mismo. Entonces he pensado que quizás windows se haya hecho un lío y esté usando en realidad hdb1. Entonces monto esa partición con mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /E y ahora ya no me da ningún error, pero al ver su contenido resulta que es ¡¡¡hda1!!! Es decir, que parece que linux (o al menos el comando mount) está confundiendo hda con hdb. Y ahora entiendo porqué no ha podido montar hdb4 ¡porque hda4 es la swap! Menos mal que no he formateado las nuevas particiones porque probablemente hubiera formateado en realidad las particiones de windows de hda... Bueno ¿qué pasa? Pensé que quizás linux hubiera intercambiado hdb con hda, pero no puede ser, ya que de ser así linux no podría haber arrancado (está en hda3). El disco duro creo que lo he instalado bien, el jumper está puesto como esclavo, lo he conectado al cable de datos con el conector que estaba libre (el de en medio), la bios lo reconoce e incluso el propio linux parece reconocerlo por los mensajes de arranque: SIS5513: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 09 SIS5513: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later SIS5513: simplex device: DMA disabled ide0: SIS5513 Bus-Master DMA disabled (BIOS) SIS5513: simplex device: DMA disabled ide1: SIS5513 Bus-Master DMA disabled (BIOS) hda: WDC AC21200H, ATA DISK drive hdb: SAMSUNG SV1021D, ATA DISK drive hdc: HITACHI CDR-7930, ATAPI CDROM drive ide2: ports already in use, skipping probe ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 hda: WDC AC21200H, 1222MB w/128kB Cache, CHS=621/64/63 hdb: SAMSUNG SV1021D, 9732MB w/444kB Cache, CHS=1240/255/63 hdc: ATAPI 8X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache Uniform CDROM driver Revision: 2.55 Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb3 hdb4 (Lo único que me parece un poco raro es lo de las 444kB de caché...) Y como ya he dicho antes las particiones las he realizado con el fdisk de linux, o sea que no tengo ni idea de lo que puede ser... Por último pongo los permisos de las particiones, por si alguien ve algo raro: brw-rw1 root disk 3, 0 jul 21 1998 /dev/hda brw-rw1 root disk 3, 1 jul 21 1998 /dev/hda1 brw-rw1 root disk 3, 2 jul 21 1998 /dev/hda2 brw-rw1 root

Yo tengo pocos libros de Linux.Hay documentación a patadas y si no ,tienes las listas de correo ;-) Por estos lares,casi todos andamos con Debian 2.2 ,otros con 2.4. Yo personalmente he instalado con éxito, la 1.3.1(Buzz),la 2.0 (Hamm), la 2.1(Slink) y la 2.2(Potato) todas desde cero desde el particionado de disco. Incluso tengo un 386 con 1Mb de RAM con MINIX para 286.Una auténtica reliquia. Lo que cuentas me suena a las primeras instalaciones de Buzz, ( hice varias,instalé ,formateé volví a instalar,vuelta a formatear) sudé mucho antes de tener lo que puede llamarse un sistema operativo útil.(sobre todo con el XServer).Fué mi primer contacto con un sistema de tipo Unix. A ciegas! Hay alguno de los presentes que no recuerde los sudores fríos que provocaba la instalación de Debian 1.3.1 a pelo? Hoy por hoy las instalaciones son mucho más sencillas. Con Potato prácticamente sólo hay que poner la B.I.O.S para que arranque desde el CDRom meter los 4 CD's y ya está. ( o casi :-)) ) Todo esto me parece una burla de los desarrolladores , Los desarroladores no tienen tiempo para burlarse de tí, entre otras cosas por que muchos de ellos dedican al desarrollo de Linux su tiempo libre. que hablan de las maravillas del SO ( talvez Bill Gates tenga razon) y espero que no sea cierto que los programas y/o SOs valen lo que se paga por ellos.

XDD. ¿podran Uds. ayudarme? y convertirme en fanatico de linux. Te recomiendo que busques los 4 CD's de la Debian Potato 2.2r0 Hace unos meses salieron con la revista Solo Programadores-Linux. por 1000 pesetas. Tambien puedes bajarlos de debian.org. también puedes comprarlos en http://www.id-agora.com/citius.shtml algo más caro. En Debian hay pocas fórmulas mágicas,no hay dos máquinas iguales no hay necesidades iguales, no hay un botón SETUP y ya está, no oyes como el Windows 2000 está (raca raca raca crish crash pim pum )detectando dispositivos , tienes que cargar módulos, recompilar kernel's, configurar el XFree (servidor de ventanas) con los parámetros de tu tarjeta de video y el monitor,configurar tarjetas de red,configurar el acceso a Internet, cerrar puertos( muy importante) cuando hayas terminado de instalar. En suma , adaptar ese pedazo de sistema operativo a tu máquina y tus necesidades. Es cierto que cada vez hay más utilidades para todo pero aún así hay un requerimiento esencial en un usuario Debian que lo diferencia de un usuario WinD.O.wS. e incluso ( aunque en menor medida ) de usuarios de otras distribuciones Linux y es : el gusto por aprender. Créeme el sistema operativo vale la pena, (según las leyes del mercado mucho más de lo que cuesta ) eso si ,estarás tú preparado para él? Aquí hay un montón de gente que lo ha conseguido, no sin obstáculos,pero seguimos pálante. Animo , suerte y un saludo. César. P.D Espero no sonar muy duro ;-)

Acabo de mirar más detenidamente el contenido del directorio y me he dado cuenta que no es C: porque he visto un directorio llamado win98 ¡¡¡me han dado un disco duro con windows 98 instalado!!! (esto sí es un expediente X... ¿a alguien más le había ocurrido algo así?) He visto que también está el Internet Explorer, el Outlook... Vale, entonces no es que linux se estuviese confundiendo de disco como pensaba en un principio, pero aún sigo sin entender porque no es capaz de montar hdb4. Bueno, ya que me han regalado windows 98 querría guardarlo antes de nada (en un tar.gz o así, no pienso instalarlo de momento, pero tengo dos hermanas que a lo mejor lo quieren ver). Las tres primeras particiones como no las he formateado supongo que uniéndolas recuperaría su contenido original. La 4ª partición sí está formateada pero como está al final del disco no creo que hubiera allí nada. Pero necesito poder montar hdb4 para copiar allí el windows 98 (en el disco antiguo no cabe, sólo tengo como máximo 50 MB libres en C:). ¿Alguien sabe qué pasa? ¿Qué significa el dev 03:44 del mensaje de error VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev 03:44.?

I tried lowering the mtu and mru to 552 as recommended in the FAQ, monitored logs, etc. There is no pattern that I can see. Q.

With partitions on the MOD, the drive designations of the OS/2 system, with which the data have to be exchanged, will be messed up.

You should look at the tool mkfs.vfat for starters; vfat is just large FAT with an extended segment for long file names, and even OS/2 should be able to use /those/ 8.3 tables.

Re: new Kernel 2.4 missing Old Tulip module ?
I have tried the Generic DECchip DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA module and build it into the kernel. The Netgear FA310TX cannot brings up after reboot. Here is the part of the boot message: Modprobe: modprobe : Can't locate module eth0 Configuring network interfaces: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device Eth0: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device Eth0: unknown interface: No such device Eth0: unknown interface: No such device Done . . After login, the ifconfig appears lo (Local Loopback) only. Do you have any suggestion? Warm Regards, Jack P.s. I have tried the DECchip Tulip (dc21x4x) PCI support' and it work ok with my Netgear card most of the time, except it locks up the eth0, if there was a few minutes of network outage. Example: The upstream network has outage for 10 minutes and the Netgear will lock up eth0 even the network backs on. I have to manually use ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0 to brings it up. It is still in the kernel, look for the Generic DECchip DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA configuration option.

Re: Switching between KDE Helix-Gnome
On Fri, 29 Dec 2000, Noah L. Meyerhans wrote: You don't need KDM in order to start KDE, nor do you need GDM to start GNOME. Either of these display managers will allow you to choose a session from a menu when you log in. If I understand you right, it is probably best to do completely without a display manager and instead use an .xsession file in my home directory from which I start the corresponding session. What script do I have to execute for starting Helix Gnome? The way I have it set up is that my ~/.xsession has an exec gnome-session in it. I use kdm. On log in, if I leave the session type at default then I go into gnome, if I choose kde2 then I go into kde2. Easy.

Like if you were running potato with the kernel upgraded to 2.2.18, you should still have the source (or the headers, at least) to 2.2.17 in /usr/src/linux. At least, that's what I thought, feel free to correct me. no the reason Linus says to leave /usr/src/linux alone is because he does not use debian, and pretty much every distro *except* debian has /usr/include/asm - /usr/src/linux/include/asm and /usr/include/linux - /usr/src/linux/include/linux, and the distribution then installs the kernel source to whatever kernel they ship with in /usr/src/linux. so if you remove /usr/src/linux you remove all the glibc headers which breaks your ability to compile ordinary programs. This is why Linus says just leave /usr/src/linux alone, its because distributions insist on having the broken /usr/include/ symlinks. since debian does not have these symlinks and does not even install any kernel source in /usr/src/linux this is all irrelevant on Debian. you can add a /usr/src/linux symlink on debian but it doesn't affect anything since /usr/include has no symlinks pointing there. where it *DOES* break things is redhat, and everything following redhat's lead.

Re: lilo- from Sarah
Hi, when you boot from your CD, you have to mount the root partition of your debian installation. Your root partition depends on your setup, but try the first Linux Native partition that has an asterisk in the Boot column of the output of `fdisk -l`. Try (as root) # mount -t ext2 /dev/your_root_partition /mnt and then # vi /mnt/etc/lilo.conf The LI output of LILO suggest, that the second stage boot loader (okay, never mind :) was loaded, but could not be executed. Make sure, that your lilo.conf file looks correct and then run /sbin/lilo to re-install lilo. Oh, btw, you will have to copy /mnt/etc/lilo.conf to /etc/lilo.conf, because otherwise the copy from the CD will be used and not your new version.

Imac CD install problem
I am trying to install debian 2.2 from the CD on my Imac DV (slotloading). I burned the CD myself. It boots okay and enters the install process. The problem arises after Install Op System Kernel and Modules. I choose cdrom. It then says, Please choose path inside the cdrom where the Debian Archive resides. It defaults to /instmt. Clicking okay it does nothing. I then tried just listing from root. It then gives me 2 options: list and manual. I try list and it reports that it can not find a directory on the cd containing file rescue.bin. I then try manual and have tried several trees here. the one that would seem appropriate is /dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/2.2.16-2000-07-26/powermac/images-1.44/rescue.bin This does not seem acceptable either. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this has been covered before. I could find nothing at the web site. I tried IRC and there was no one that could help there.
Esound Festival

Garbled fonts with X Windows in potato
Hi, I recently upgraded the linux half of a friends' dual-boot box from RH 6.0 to Debian potato (2.2r2) (actually looked over her shoulder while she did it so that she'd get the experience and be more comfortable with Debian in the future). Primary problem I encountered: X-Windows garbles all the fonts it uses, to make it unreadable. I'm not only talking about fonts in a given xterm (which one often encounters after, e.g., viewing a binary file with more), it garbles menu-items, words in xdm's login screen, title-bars, etc in addition to all fonts in xterms. I installed X through tasksel, used the svga server, installed both 75dpi and 100dpi fonts (though tried it again with only 75dpi with same problem). System video card is S3 Trio64 (764), but xfree86's S3 accelerated server doesn't work at all when I tried it, and anXious identifies the server for the card at SVGA by default, so I would think that would be safe. Suggestions much appreciated. I'd be happy to supply any additional info needed. Thanks so much and happy new year, Daniel PS. Strange sidenote: surprisingly, though this never occured in RH6.0, something weirdly similar occurs for her in Win95, where all fonts are garbled until one exits to DOS, exits back to Win95 and fonts are restored.

making recompiled packages available
We are recompiling a bunch of packages to optimise them for i686. The setup is along the following lines: 1. A copy of all six source and binary cdroms is on the hard disk 2. A local repository is at /debian/dists 3. sources.list has source and binary entries for the local repository and the cd's 4. sources.list has source entries for debian mirrors 5. apt-move.conf targets the local repository and mirrors only sources The following commands are used to maintain the source mirror: $ apt-get update# update the list of available sources $ apt-move sync # retrieve any new sources These seem to work well enough, although it is necessary to do a dselect/update before the downloaded sources will be retrieved from the repository instead of from the proxy cache. :-/ Having installed and configured pentium-builder for i686, the following command will do a nice job for any source whose build-dependencis are met: $ apt-get -b source package So now we have the following problems: A. The following command should add the recompiled binary packages to the repository: $ apt-move movefile *.deb But it only works some of the time -- many of the deb packages are skipped and left where they are, and if there is already a matching deb file in the repository, the new one is put in /debian/.archive... which seems to be some kind of bit bucket? B. The locally compiled packages are not recognised by dselect. We have read lots of documentation (but I suspect not all), and issued every kind of refresh or update commmand that is mentioned. So far, the only way that we have found to use the recompiled packages is with dpkg -i *.deb which is tedious and error prone to say the least. BTW, is there any way to analyse build dependencies automatically, the way dselect and friends can analyse install dependencies? All in all, Debian is a fantastic system to use, and we would appreciate any help or advice as to how to use it better. I am not sure if we are doing something wrong, or trying to make apt do something it is not quite ready to do yet. Finally, are there already any i686 optimised mirrors available? If not, is there some economical way that we could make ours available to the community. Haven't been with Debian long enough to now if this fits in with policy or not. Cheers, Andrew PS Can send config files to anyone who wants them for use or further analysis.

Check to see what the listed status of the packages listed by apt-get for removal is. We'll return to this later. Sounds like you may have corrupted your status file. Look under /var/lib/dpkg for two files names 'status' and 'status-old'. First, copy both someplace safe. Try substituting 'status-old' for 'status', and see what apt wants to replace. You might also try grabbing the debs for base-passwd, mailman, libc6, and logrotate, and installing these via dpkg rather than apt: $ dpkg -i package-list If neither of the above two suggestions work, try taking the --get-selections list generated above and marking 'install' the packages you *don't* want removed, then send this to the dpkg system with: $ cp package-list.out package-list.in $ $EDITOR package-list.in $ dpkg --set-selections package-list.in Good luck cheers. -- Karsten M.

In the libgnomeprint-data package the /usr/share/fonts/afms/ directory was empty. I don't know why because it wasn't on a different machine earlier and the disc is not full either. Installing these packages a second time fixed the problem. Note that I don't have libgnomeprint-dev installed. Is this required for Gnumeric? I find it unlikely (development package for a userland package?), but if so there's a failed dependency. -- Karsten M.

Only that there's yet another thing to add to my already extensive list of things I need to learn about! I recall giving the matter a casual glance awhile ago, and, it not being immediately evident to that superficial inspection that the dl stuff would make life either easier or more interesting, I stuck with plain vanilla emacs.

How Do I Put a Package On Hold?
Hello Debian World, I'm trying to upgrade from a mixed potato/woody to a woody. I edited my sources.list file, ran apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade. This procedure results in an attempt to remove kernel-image-2.2.17. I don't want to do this because I'm running a custom kernel to support Win4Lin. If I tell it not to remove the kernel image, the remainder of the dist-upgrade is aborted. From what I can glean from the various man pages, my problem would be avoided by placing the kernel-image package on hold but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. The dpkg man page implies that this should be possible using dselect but the dselect man page mentions no such thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mark
