Accounting de impresión

2001-01-11 Thread Hue-Bond
 En el 'man printcap' pone que el campo af es para especificar
 un  archivo donde  se guarda  la información  de accounting  de los
 trabajos de impresión. Pone también que  ese campo sólo se usa como
 parámetro a la hora de llamar al if. Por tanto, es el if el que
 realmente se encarga del accounting.

 El problema  es que mi if  es un filtro de  magicfilter, cuya
 primera línea es:

#! /usr/sbin/magicfilter

 Vaya... si no está  en bash ni perl me temo que  no voy a saber
 cómo añadirle algo.  Por supuesto el archivo al que  apunta el af
 está completamente vacío, ya que  el filtro de magicfilter se ocupa
 de imprimir y nada más. ¿Cómo puedo hacer?

 Lo que me gustaría conseguir es guardar algo como:

Jan 11 11:21:22 Usuario A en máquina B imprime un trabajo de C hojas

 Es  que a  veces  viene algún  cliente  graciosillo a  imprimir
 montones de folios que probablemente  no le interesan, con la única
 finalidad de hacerme  gastar papel y tóner/tinta.  Si consigo hacer
 esto podré empapelarlo (y nunca mejor dicho :^)).

 Mi kernel (2.4.0-test11) trae ese driver, de hecho el copyright del
 mismo es de Creative Labs. A pesar de ello uso ALSA; siempre me ha
 funcionado bién.

La versión 2.2.18 (final) ya incluye soporte para este chip EMU10K1, y

Cortafuegos y mantener la conexion

2001-01-11 Thread Jaume Sabater
Enas.

Antes tenia algo asín:
 ethrdsieth
 MAQUINA1 -- ROUTER1 == ROUTER2 -- MAQUINA2

Y me funcionaba perfectamente, desde maquina1 podia hacer un ssh a maquina2
y dejarlo horas que no cae, se mantiene la connexion.

Ahora tengo:
eth  eth rdsi   eth
 MAQUINA1  CORTAFUEGOS --- ROUTER1 === ROUTER2 -- MAQUINA2

puedo hacer ssh desde maquina1 a maquina2, pero la conexion no me dura mas
de media horita, si no hago nada se corta:

Read from remote host maquina2: Connection reset by peer
Connection to maquina2 closed.

El cortafuegos es un Pentium 133 con 32 RAM, kernel 2.2.18 y el squid
rulando, y tiene varias ethernets realtek 10/100MB (es suficiente para
30/40 clientes, ¿verdad?) ¿Que puedo hacer para que no se me corte?

supongo que estas usando el ip-masquerade de linux, si es asi, la conexion
se te corta depues de todo ese tiempo idle porque hay unos timeouts
definidos por defecto para el enmascaramiento de conexiones tcp, tcp despues
de haber recibido fin, y udp (esto es necesario porque el numero de puertos
dedicados para hacer masquerade es bastante limitado entre 61000 y 65096 y
si no se van liberando las conexiones por inactividad se llenarian
rapidamente...)

echale un ojo a

vaya bien ;)

Puedes hacer una prueba con 'free' antes y despues de abrir programas. Veras 
que el tamaño de los buffers y de cached varian. Se ajustan dinamicamente.


Yo personalmente tengo 198 MB de RAM y he visto el Mozilla llegar a ocupar

Ayuda urgente, cagada!

La q he liao a sido pequeña, ya no me arranca mi 
debian potato.
Empecemos por el principio, resulta q me baje el 
kernel de inet, la misma version q tenia instalada. Carge la configuracion q 
trae debian y empece a tocar ciertas cosas q creia q no necesitaba.
osea: 
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

Como lo tengo sin teclado y sin monitor (lo hago 
todo remotamente) pase de usar el lilo, cambie el link de /bzImage a q apuntase 
a el nuevo kernel /boot/bzImage q habia prebiamente copiado. Tendria q haber 
hecho igualmente un lilo? 
Reseteo ... no arranca, me temo lo peor, la 
lie para sacar mi pequeño server, meterle un monitor y un teclado, lo enchufo de 
nuevo y veo el error, lo siento pero no lo copie, pero era algo como de q no 
podia cargar no se q modulo (podria ser unix.o).
Gracias a lo q he aprendido en la lista me puse 
manos a la obra. Meti el rescue disk, despues el root, puese idioma castellano y 
me meti en una consola. tire de 
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 /mnt y
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt/boot

me meto en /boot y renombro el bzimage a 
bzimage.bak y mi antiguo kernel a bzimage, supuestamente lo he dejado como antes 
del estropicio.
Pero na de na, sigue con el mismo 
error.

Que puedo hacer, necesito ayuda 
urgente.

Ahora me acabo d enterar q existe un paquete q se 
encarga de meter el nuevo kernel en un deb y despues t lo instala solo. Pero.. 
demasiado tarde.

Hola chicos... solo les quiero agradecer por 
toda la ayuda que me brindaron en el tema de la placa de video y del mouse. 
Efectivamente, en el tema del mouse era un problema con el tipo de mouse. Estaba 
puesto como PS2, y cuando lo configuraba con el xf86config, al poner Microsoft 
Compatible, me ponía como tipo de mouse MS3. No se si sea el te siempre, de 
hecho creo que antes lo tenía asi yo... pero lo configuré con el gpmconfig y a 
la hora de poner el tipo de mouse, elegí MS y anduvo desde ese momento. Aun 
estoy verde con Debiany hay comandos de configuración que no me sé, por 
eso les agradezco también.
Con respecto a la placa de video, estaba 
puesto el xserver SVGA mientras que mi placa entra en las S3. El problema era 
que mis CDs que tenía antes de Debian, de la Potato R0 pero solo los dos 
primeros, estaban mal copiados y por eso no me dejaba instalar la S3. Me compré 
la R0 del distribuidor oficial de Debian aca en Baires y solo tuve que 
instalar el S3 y configurarlo como antes para que anduviera. Ahora por suerte 
todo funca de maravilla y puedo comenzar de una vez con ese bendito modem que me 
compré para Linux y que no pude ni tocar porque se me armó lío con la placa de 
video y el mouse. Les agradezco mucho a todos por toda la ayuda, les mando un 
abrazo a todos.
P.D.: Angel, si lees este mail (que supongo que 
sí), este agradecimiento va para vos también.

 Me temo que sí. De la documentación:

   - Run /sbin/lilo _whenever_ the kernel or any part of LILO,
 including its configuration file, has changed. When in doubt, run
 it. You can't run /sbin/lilo too many times.


 Si no recuerdo mal, Lilo no entiende de links (de hecho, no entiende
 nada de sistemas de ficheros); cuando ejecutas lilo se almacenan en
 el sector de arranque las coordenadas exactas en el disco duro del
 kernel que tiene que cargar.


Bingo, que alegria, me temia lo peor. Pero ahora al arrancar me salen
errores de depmod intentando cargar un monton de drivers de usb, q yo no he

Estos errores al arranque de depmod se guardan en algun log? lo he buscado

Re: Problema con kernel 2.4

2001-01-11 Thread Miguel Angel Vilela

Hola gente

¿Algún alma caritativa me echa una manita?... :-)

Ayer me bajé el kernel 2.4.0 y lo compilé (tenía el 2.2.17). Tras la
instalación reinicié para probarlo (con Lilo) y el resultado fue el siguiente:

LILO: l24
Loading l24..
Uncompresing linux... Ok, booting the kernel.

Y a partir de ahi se queda totalmente tieso, el único botón que
responde es que está en la carcasa del PC. Para compilar el kernel seguí las
instrucciones de un libro (basado en Slackware 3.4) y luego algo de sentido
común ;-). No sé que puede estar mal, así que pongo aquí lo que hice (extraido
de mi cuaderno de registro):

(estando en /usr/src/linux)

# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/
# cp vmlinux /boot/vmlinux-2.4.0
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.0
# vi /etc/lilo.conf
añado:
image=/boot/bzImage
label=l24
read-only
root=/dev/hda2

# lilo
Added linux *
Added l24
Added dos

# cd /boot/
# rm -f System.map
# ln -s System.map-2.4.0 System.map
# rm -f vmlinuz
# ln -s vmlinux-2.4.0 vmlinuz


Reinicio y se me queda tieso. Lo apago con el botón de la carcasa y
entro en linux como siempre, sin problemas. Pruebo con:

# cd /usr/src/linux
# make zlilo
tools/build/ bootsect setup compressed/vmlinux.out CURRENT  zImage
Root device is (3, 2)
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 4627 bytes.
System is 908 bytes.
System is too big. Try using bzImage or modules.

Pero bzImage ya está usado, y el tamaño del kernel (bzImage) no ha dado
problemas al ejecutar 
# lilo

Pruebo
# cd /boot
# rm -f vmlinuz
# ln -s bzImage vmlinuz

Pero al reiniciar todo sigue igual. Al final estoy hecho un lío con
esto de bzImage, vmlinuz, vimniuz-2.4.0, etc.

Netscape não roda

2001-01-11 Thread I. C. Mourão
Cansado de usar a famosa distribuição nacional que na sua versão 6.0 não 
funciona a contento na minha máquina meio velhinha mas ainda muito boa, resolvi 
instalar o Debian 2.2 Potato R2 porque sempre ouvi maravilhas sobre a sua 
estabilidade, facilidade de instalação de pacotes e a variedade dos mesmos. 
Confesso-me meio decepcionado, porque:
1. Escassa documentação em português.
2. Versão do Gnome muito antiga. Não consegui instalar o Helix.
3. Dselect diz que o Netscape está instalado porém não consigo rodar.
4. Muitos aplicativos que aparecem no menu do WM simplesmente não rodam.
Estas são apenas as minhas primeiras impressões, mas já estou achando que o SO 
não justifica tanta fama.

Saudações a todos,

Dica: otimização IDE/HD

2001-01-11 Thread KrIsSkRoSs
Hardware utilizado:
- Intel Celerom 300A overclocked to 450MHz
- HD Quantum BigFoot 4.3GB (sem DMA/UDMA)

Sistema utilizado:
- Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r2
- kernel 2.4.0

Antes:
- taxa de transferência do HD: 3MB/s

Depois:
- taxa de transferência do HD: 6.75MB/s

Passos:
1. acrescente a linha abaixo no /etc/lilo.conf e execute o lilo.
append = idebus=66
2. acrescente a linha abaixo no /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
hdparm -m8 -c3 -k /dev/hda
3. Reinicie o sistema para que as alterações do lilo sejam
efetivadas, para o hdparm não é necessário reiniciar, pode simplesmente
digitar a linha de comando especificada em um terminal.

Eu *adoro* esse tipo de dica perigosa.

NAO MEXA EM IDEBUS se não souber o que está fazendo. Particularmente se for
usar o hd em modo DMA.

 2. acrescente a linha abaixo no /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
 hdparm -m8 -c3 -k /dev/hda

Nunca adicione -k em hdparm a menos que você tenha testado no hardware e
verificado que não há problemas. Com aquele -k um reset no bus não vai
salvar seu HD de um tremendo pau de disco por erro nas opções.

Mantenha um olho nas mensagens de log do kernel (dmesg mostra), para ver se
não está ocorrendo erro de disco durante alguns dias após brincar com o
hdparm.

Use UDMA se for possível. É muito mais seguro que DMA ou PIO porque tem CRC
de um lado do cabo de HD pro outro :)

Em 99% das máquinas NOVAS, se o hd estiver com DMA habilitada, -u1 vai
melhorar a perfomance em muito (não a taxa de transferência, mas tente
trabalhar durante um cp de um arquivo de 1GB que você vai entender).

 Olá Clovis,
   Pois é... mas é problema que eu tinha falado na outra mensagem: a
 Telemar anunciou que ia começar, mas não começaram. Acho que não deve ter
 havido muito interesse, sei lá... Um dia, eles vão implantar... o problema
 é: quando. No site não tem nenhuma informação.

Esse q eh o problema... Ai eu fico soh com o virtua como opcao... Como o 
virtua nao esta disponivel pra minha area (Bairro Floresta) fico sem nada!

  O Cable Modem da virtua pra alugar eh soh 16. Eu acho bem razoavel.
   É... mas você tem garantia que esse cable modem vai funcionar no seu
 computador (rodando Debian)?. Você tem que pagar ainda a instalação, uma
 taxa dependendo do velocidade, e o provedor (que também depende da
 velocidade). Se bem que você já paga 200 contos de telefone... deve ser
 suficiente :)

Este Cable Modem nao funciona conectado a sua placa de rede?

 Além disso há a questão do limite de bytes transferidos, e a
   porcaria do login em Flash/Java/sei lá como que funciona
  essa imbecilidade.
   Eu acho que tem o limite é de 1GB, acho que por dia. O interessante
 é que no site eles não especificam... Além disso, eu fico puto com a
 empresa que não tem uma postura correta. Eu recebi uma correspondência lá
 em casa oferendo Virtua e insinuando que eu vou poder baixar E ENVIAR a uma
 velocidade superior, o que não é verdade: a velocidade de upload é
 limitada.

Mas eh superior a normal (modem)

disso. O fato é que eu perguntei 8 veces por telefone, e falaram a
mesma coisa que para você. Quando tudo estava instalado, o têcnico da

Funciona. Eu demorei uns 2 minutos em ter rodando. É um modem externo
ligado ao computador por ethernet padrão. Usam DHCP (i.e., não há IP
fixo, trocam ele approx. cada 48h), que não custa muito em
configurar. É possível simular um IP fixo implementando um DNS
dinámico. Procurar dynamic DNS no google. Há alguns serviços de graça

O limíte é por período de pagamento que é um mes.

O Vírtua é DSL mas não ADSL, tem a mesma velocidade de upload como de

por mais do 30%. Como devolvei no mesmo día, não posso dizer se é a

help: 2.4.0 kernel and /dev/shm

I'm trying out the new 2.4 kernel on my Potato box.  I upgrade modutils to
the version currently in Woody (2.4.1).  Works real nice except for a slight
problem I ran into.  I can't mount the System V IP shared memory on /dev/shm
at bootup.  I get this error message:

shmem fs invalid option
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock or none,
   or too many mounted file systems

I said YES to 'General setup'-'System V IPC' and NO to
'File systems'-'/dev file system support' when running 'make menuconfig'

I added this line to /etc/fstab as the linux-2.4.0/Documentation/Changes says
to:

none/dev/shmshm defaults0  0

I created a directory /dev/shm with permissions 755.  The 2.4 docs don't say
to, but didn't say not to.  A mistake?

The kernel boots and even though it can't mount this virtual filesystem,
everything else seems to work--so far.  Can't believe how much faster the
machine boots and runs compared to 2.2.18!!  Nice work Linus and all the
other kernel developers!!

Can someone tell me where I went wrong.  I tried searching the 'net for a

Can anyone point it out?  Thanks for the help.

I don't think the screen is frozen because initially "enlightenment" scrawls in

ball.If necessay I would get another pointing device. But it 
was working under an OLD ver of Slackware. It is installed under windows

Well my workstation says:

Don't worry about /var/shm vs /dev/shm - it's just a mountpoint and will
work fine either way.

 I created a directory /dev/shm with permissions 755.  The 2.4 docs
 don't say to, but didn't say not to.  A mistake?

It won't matter - the permissions on /dev/shm will be changed to 1777 by
the kernel.

 The kernel boots and even though it can't mount this virtual filesystem,
 everything else seems to work--so far.

The shm filesystem is needed for stuff that uses shared memory segmets (ie
apache, samba, etc) to work.

 Can't believe how much faster the machine boots and runs compared to
 2.2.18!!  Nice work Linus and all the other kernel developers!!

Yea, I noticed that too.  I see you haven't tried to push on it yet.
You'll get blown away by the results of some speed trials with dbench
compared to 2.2.x:)  But it seems a bit slow compared to 2.4.0-prerelease.
Maybe it's just me.

 Can someone tell me where I went wrong.  I tried searching the 'net

 so im assuming a raw socket is a udp socket? and that you need root

You are not allowed to open a raw socket on Linux as non-root, I don't
know if it's different on Solaris (but I would expect it not to be). And
no that's not an UDP socket, it says something about IGMP (Internet Group
Managment Protocol, which is used for Multicast I think).

 priviledges for udp sockets? (simalar to why you cant run nmap udp scans
 unless you're root).

No, that is also because of Raw sockets in general. There is no reason why
you can't use UDP sockets... just not raw sockets. That's why nmap won't
work for, UDP, TCP and probably not even Ping (it uses rawsockets to
send out very specific packets, well I guess you know).

 
 am i on the right track?

Eventually. :)

re100tx.c

2001-01-11 Thread Oki DZ
Hi,

I have just installed the 2.4.0 kernel and I have the re100tx.c to compile
(it's the driver for Compex's ReadyLink card). Unfortunately, the
compilation has problems on including the header files (I guess, some C
sturctures have been changed on 2.4.0). I have looked around for the
driver, including the Compex's web-site (www.cpx.com), to no avail. Is the
2.4.0-compatible driver source residing at somesite that I don't know yet? 

BTW, I intend to use iproute2 (iptables, ip, tc) on a system which has the
new kernel. I think I have some problems with the kmod (kerneld
replacement). If I want to execute iptables, the module ip_tables have to
be loaded before; meaning, the module auto-load seems not to be working.
But it does work for loading floppy.o and ext2.o; if I did mount
/dev/fd0 /mnt, the command would work without preloading the floppy and
ext2. Clues please...

Thanks in advance,
Oki




Re: System.map irritation

Hi,

I have the same problem after upgrading my (system's) kernel to 2.4.0.
I put the 2.4.0 source to /usr/src2/linux directory, and when top 
executed, the System.map looked up is the one in /usr/src/linux (in 
which I put the 2.2.13 source).


BTW, I have removed the System.map's in /usr/src/linux and 
/usr/src2/linux; surely enough, when top executed, there's no warning 
reported. The question is, what's the use of the System.map file? (My

Apache 1.3.9-13.1 - ExecCGI problem?

2001-01-11 Thread Niall Young
I'm tearing out my hair.

CGI scripts and Includes aren't executing, my logfile shows:

[Thu Jan 11 17:35:06 2001] [error] [client xxx.xx.xxx.x] Options ExecCGI is off 
in this directory: /xxx

I've setup both ExecCGI and Includes in each Virtualhost configuration
in /etc/apache/httpd.conf and this has all been working fine with a
more recent version of Apache but I had to downgrade for various reasons.

I've tried forcing ExecCGI globally, inside a Directory directive,
inside a Location directive (both inside the VirtualHost directive),
and I just can't get this working the way it was.

Any ideas?

Solid DBD driver

2001-01-11 Thread Teun Vink
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Hi,

While moving some scripts from an old FreeBSD server to a new Debian box,
I stumbled upon some problems with a script which connects to a Solid
database:

install_driver(Solid) failed: Can't locate DBD/Solid.pm in @INC (@INC
contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.005
/usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5) at (eval 1) line 3.
Perhaps the DBD::Solid perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'Solid' isn't right.
Available drivers: ADO, ExampleP, Proxy.
 at ./read-radius.pl line 17

I understand that this means I don't have a Solid driver installed on the
Debian box. My problem is that I cannot find the appropriate perl
module. Anyone have any suggestions?


Thank!

KOrganizer: strange behaviour

2001-01-11 Thread Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
Hi guys,
i hope someone can help and sorry if this might be OT or a stupid
question but i was not
able to find an answer in the documentation.

I usually leave my pc on duty 24h/day but i noticed after a couple of
reboots that some activities,
that i recorded like appointment, are now readonly and i'm not able to
modify them in anyway.
My questions are:

there is the possibility to put them back read  write and if yes how???

is it a bug or a feature??? I mean it's normale that after a certain
period of time some activities
are marked readonly??? because this might be fine but not for recurrent
events that might need to
be rescheduled, etc.

Thanks in advice

Until recently I had accelerated 3d graphics under X. I've now done an

why.

I'm using unstable, kernel 2.4.0-test10. The graphics card is an ati
rage128 and seems to be recognised by the kernel (r128 module) and X.

For some reason, lilo is looking in /dev/hda1 for something. My bet
would be your lilo.conf has an other = /dev/hda1 line, and it can't
use it any more for some reason. However, since you lilo.conf attachment
didn't make it through, there's very little anyone can do :(

indeed the /usr/src/linux `problem' does not exist on debian since it

 i always copy the System.map to /boot and label it appropriately to dintiguish

At it's simplest, something like

macro   index   S   |catfreddie\n

in your ~/.muttrc, where index means that it will work in the

boot disk problem

2001-01-11 Thread Nina Jansen
Greetings :-)

I'm a new Debian user, and I have a problem with my boot floppy. I saw a
post about a very similar problem in the latest digest: It takes
extremely long time to boot. However, I do not suspect that there is
something wrong with the disk because I have tried several different
disks and they all have the same problem. When I insert the rescue
floppy and enter rescue root=/dev/hde8 the system boots just fine,
however, I'd like like to avoid this workaround. 

My debian version is 2.2_r2, and there is nothing special about my
floppy drive. The various boot floppies were creating during the
installation process using dbootstrap.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely

Nina Jansen

 Although I do get the mail (because I have set postmaster to point to

 it is right to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

Don't know what you have in your .fetchmailrc (you really should have
posted it), but have you looked at using the 'to' (or 'is username
here') clause?  That's what tells it what the local recipient username
is.  man fetchmail.  Seems like it should already know that, but it's
worth a shot.

The default local username it uses is supposed to be the one you log
into the POP server with, I believe.  Does that user exist on your
system?

When I ran fetchmail
 myself and used a .fetchmailrc in my home directory I saw this:
 
 2001-01-10 07:39:41 14GFrB-yX-00 =

 T=local_delivery
 
 That looks much better.

I would *guess* that in non-daemon mode it defaults to a local user of
whatever you're running it under.
 
 I am using exim to distribute mail recieved by fetchmail. Should I move
 .forward from /home/gsmh to /root as well?

I'd try the 'to' clause in /root/.fetchmailrc, as a more direct
solution.

By the way, you're supposed to be able to run fetchmail as a daemon
under your own username.  That might make it magically work as well.

 Well my workstation says:

OK, tried it.  Sort of works.  I am still getting shmem fs invalid option
and mount is still complaining.  Once the system boots if I do 'mount', there
is still no mounted /dev/shm.  'cat /proc/filesystems' shows shm is one of the
filesystems the kernel knows about.  If I do 'mount /dev/shm' manually, it
works.  Now I'm puzzled, but getting closer.

I was looking at /etc/init.d/devpts.sh.  In the 2.2.x kernel docs, recommends
adding an appropriate line to /etc/fstab.  However, Debian choose not to and
does it in a boot script instead; not sure why.  I am tempted to hack together
a similar script for shm.  

 Don't worry about /var/shm vs /dev/shm - it's just a mountpoint and will
 work fine either way.

Which is apparently what is used to be.  Looks like /dev/shm is the approved
mount point.

  I created a directory /dev/shm with permissions 755.
 
 It won't matter - the permissions on /dev/shm will be changed to 1777 by
 the kernel.

Which it did when I manually mounted it.

  Can't believe how much faster the machine boots and runs compared to
  2.2.18!!  Nice work Linus and all the other kernel developers!!
 
 Yea, I noticed that too.  I see you haven't tried to push on it yet.

Not yet. :-)  I'll have to try dbench and see how it compares.

 compared to 2.2.x:)  But it seems a bit slow compared to 2.4.0-prerelease.
 Maybe it's just me.

*This* is *slow*?! :-)  I didn't have chance to try the prerelease before
Linus released the real version

OpenSSH 'alternative' DSA key

2001-01-11 Thread Andy Roosen
Is anyone else having problems getting ssh 2.3.0 to use a DSA key
other than the default ~/.ssh/id_dsa?

Here's the testing procedure: I used ssh-keygen to create
a DSA key in ~/.ssh/id_dsa (without passphrase for testing),
and put the public part in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2. Then I use
'ssh -2 localhost' to successfully connect using SSH v2. If I move
the private key to (say) id_dsa_other and try connecting with
'ssh -v -2 -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa_other localhost', it fails with (among
other lines from the -v):
debug: authentications that can continue: publickey,password
debug: next auth method to try is publickey
debug: key does not exist: /users/roosen/.ssh/id_dsa
debug: next auth method to try is password
Looking at the source code, I'm not surprised to find that the -i
flag adds only to 'options.identity_files[]' (for RSA keys) and
not to 'options.identity_files2[]' (for DSA keys).

The strange part is, when I reported this to the debian maintainer,
he has no problems getting it to work with the -i flag. So I'm
left wondering how it is that my source code distribution matches
my .deb and neither work :). Anyone else have the same problem?
This happens for 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 (the latest).

Cheers,
Andy Roosen

This it the only drive the kernel finds when booting?  Seems like it.  The
kernel should report all IDE devices (hard/CD drives, tape drives, etc.) it
finds.  From the looks of it, you have only one hard drive which set to be
master and plugged into the secondary controller.  Does your BIOS agree with
this?  You need at least one drive which is master on the primary controller.
Your BIOS might allow you to boot from any drive or auto-detect any single
drive and say Guess I'll use this.  I don't know.

So before you go any further...how many drive does your machine have?  If just
this one, where does your BIOS say it is.  DON'T move the drive around yet!
If your /etc/fstab isn't right, you won't be able to reboot!

Re: new boot disk?

2001-01-11 Thread Scott Patterson



Greetings, everyone.

I just migrated from RedHat over to Debian potato and I'm thrilled so
far.

But, I think my boot disk is defective, since it takes 5-7 minutes for
the

Loading Linux..

process to complete from /dev/fd0 before Linux actually boots. I suspect
I have a bad floppy, and I want to make a new boot floppy.

I just had to boot from a floppy and had the same situation. It does take a LONG
time (I don't remember other distribtions (Redhat, Caldera, etc) boot-floppies
being so slow...), but eventually my system boots up properly. I'd install LILO
or grub ASAP and not rely on a floppy. IMHO, floppies are an unreliable media.

rep-gtk-gnome dependency problems

2001-01-11 Thread Timothy H. Keitt
Did anyone else run into dependency problems with rep-gtk-gnome?  I 
can't tell if this is a problem with the Helix packages or a combination 
Helix/debian packages.  After my last apt update, rep-gtk-gnome depends 
on rep-gtk-1, but the latest version is rep-gtk-helix1.

arp problem

2001-01-11 Thread Barry Smoke
We have a proxy server running debian potato.
i downloaded a program called iptraf to try and help me figure out why it
takes so long to do things like an apt-get update, etc. from our internal
network behind the proxy.

using iptraf i noticed that when apt-get is just acting hung on the
workstation the server is having arp requests from it that take about 25
seconds to resolv.

any ideas?

 At work, our internet access is from a proxyserver.  Is there anyway
 I can set dselect on my Debian 2.2r2 laptop to access through the
 proxyserver, while I'm at work.

$ export http_proxy=http://foobar/; # or ftp_proxy?
$ dselect

I don't know, wether other dselect methods than apt honor http_proxy.

lprng not working

2001-01-11 Thread Sebastiaan
Hello,

my lpd is not working correctly. The init script is loaded at boottime,
but no daemon is started. When I try to start it manually, the following
happens:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] # /etc/init.d/lprng start
Starting printer spooler: [EMAIL PROTECTED] #

and still nothing is started. Sometimes it starts correctly (not at
boottime) and I can print all I want, but I have not been able to
reproduce that situation (coincience?).

Anyone has any idea why the daemon does not want to start, or how I can
make it work, hints?

thanks in advance,
Sebastiaan




Re: inittab process ownership

2001-01-11 Thread Sebastiaan
Hi,

can you not add a line with su, as in normal scripts? I do not remember
how to do this correctly, but it is an idea.

Greetz,
Sebastiaan

 is it possible to have processes brought up via inittab not to be owned by

 and automatically respawned, but i want the process to be owned by a

 but i would prefer to use inittab directly.
 
 thanks

What kind of motherboard do you have?  Does it have a PS/2 port?  I
don't think that any recently built keyboards work with the older AT
keyboard ports.  I have the MS keyboard at work (NT 4.0 system) -- it
has a PS/2 connector and an adapter for USB.  (Aside:  does the USB
really only work with Win98 like they said or will it work with any
USB capable system?)

I have a different brand of ergo keyboard on my personal Debian
system.  It has only a PS/2 connector and works fine.

I would recommend plugging a basic keyboard in and rebooting.  If you
don't see the error, return your M$ keyboard immediately.  (If you
want I can give you the brand/etc of my keyboard.  It isn't curved as
nicely as the MS one but it has those cool buttons on the top -- now I
just need to write a driver to use those buttons :-))

Re: rep-gtk-gnome dependency problems

2001-01-11 Thread Timothy H. Keitt
Apparently this is a Helix gnome v. debian-packaged gnome problem.  
rep-gtk-gnome from unstable requires rep-gtk = 15-1, but I have 
15-helix1.  This is odd because I thought I was running a pure Helix 
gnome distribution.  Its also odd that there doesn't seem to be a 
rep-gtk-gnome in the Helix gnome distribution archive (which is perhaps 
why I'm getting the debian-packaged version?).
