Accounting de impresión
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.

Re: sound blaster live
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 si no me equivoco, la versión 2.2.17 ya lo tiene también. Un saludo Luis
Cortafuegos y mantener la conexion

Re: Cortafuegos y mantener la conexion
nas 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 http://members.home.net/ipmasq/howto/ipmasq-HOWTO-1.95c-7.html#ss7.13 ahi te da un ejemplo de como cambiar los timeouts, pero tampoco los pongas excesivamente altos, es cuestion de encontrar el punto de equilibrio que te vaya bien ;) un saludo aSkAiNeT - Original Message - From: Jaume Sabater [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user-spanish@lists.debian.org Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2001 1:17 PM Subject: Cortafuegos y mantener la conexion Enas.

servicios
bueno ya soy mas o menos usuario de linux arrancando o parando servicios no tengo problema en init tampoco 1,2,3,4,5 etc el problemas es que no entiendo que significa cada uno de estos en alguno lado dice que singl, reboot,multiuser bueno en fin pero en ulimas no se si esta anotacion tenga base. uno puede hace su propio init o modificar uno existente de acuerdo a su necesidades ? ya que los demonios que estan en /etc/ini.d son los que se referencian en /etc/rc* y de esta manera yo puedo dar las caracteristicas que desee a mi arrancada bueno otra pregunta porque mi debian no me arraca lo que esta rc.local

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. Socooorrooo.

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.

Re: Problema con kernel 2.4
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.

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?

re100tx.c
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

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 Fabiobegin:vcard n:Di Nitto;Fabio Massimo tel;fax:++45 89 38 51 01 tel;work:++45 89 38 51 76 x-mozilla-html:FALSE org:Test Documentation;Ericsson Telebit A/S, Skanderborgvej 232, DK-8260 Viby J version:2.1 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Test Engineer adr;quoted-printable:;;Skanderborgvej 232 Viby J;=C5rhus;Denmark;DK 8260; x-mozilla-cpt:;18656 fn:Fabio Massimo Di Nitto end:vcard

YP doesn't push?
Hi All I had install nis on my linux box. And set cron to exec make -C /var/yp every 5 mins. But I got a problem that user info did not auto change if I didn't modify user passwd throught the yppasswd or ypchfn. (sorry, I indeed need to modify the passwd file directly.) I can restart nis to active my change. But it will cause service interrupted. I guess it maybe is yppasswdd's problem. How did I do to fix this problem? Thank you, Edward

boot disk problem
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.

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. :-)

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.

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).

Re: LILO Problem
Hi Bob, When I change hdc to hda and run /sbin/lilo I get the following message: lymond:/# /sbin/lilo Fatal: open /dev/hda1: Device not configured I am not sure now why these are listed as hdc, this install comes from libranet 1.8.2 (althought I don't know why that would make any difference). I'm confused, that's for sure. thanks Bob Billson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, Jan 11, 2001 at 07:15:37AM -0800, Dale Morris wrote: here's how my hd is partitioned: hdc1=windows hdc3=/ hdc5=/home hdc6=/usr hdc4=swap Assuming you didn't make a typo and meant hdc not hda, what is on hda (master drive, primary controller)?

inittab process ownership
is it possible to have processes brought up via inittab not to be owned by root? i would like some user processes automatically brought up on boot-up and automatically respawned, but i want the process to be owned by a non-root user. i'm aware that daemontools and the like can do this for me, but i would prefer to use inittab directly. thanks -- Patrick Dahiroc Tel: 301-767-1565 Armillaire Technologies Inc.
Creating a bootable CD from online files!!
Files I have gotten from the FTP site: -base2_2.tgz -loadlin.exe -entire compact directory (drivers.tgz, install.bat,kernel-config and linux) -entire doc directory I am pretty sure I have all the files needed to create a bootable CD-ROM which will allow me to install the compact version of the Debian distribution. Now, I have read all the possible instruction files from the debian site and, yet, I still don't have a clue as to what my installation CD should "look like" (directories)!?!?! Can anyone fill me in? Again I want to make a bootable CD-ROM that will install the compact version of the Debian distribution. Thank you SG

Partition check: hdc: hdc1 hdc2 hdc5 hdc6 hdc3 hdc4 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!

Re: new boot disk?
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. Scott

arp problem
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?

lprng not working
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: rep-gtk-gnome dependency problems
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?). Tim Timothy H.
