Mira /etc/crontab. 'cron' es un demonio que realiza tareas de
mantenimiento y otras programadas por el administrador del sistema cada
cierto tiempo marcado en el fichero /etc/crontab. También está 'anacron'
que es igual al anterior, con un fichero /etc/anacrontab, con la
diferencia respecto a 'cron' de que este no asume que la máquina está
encendida las 24h. del dia. Es muy probable que lo que tengas en tu máquina
corriendo periódicamente sea 'anacron' y no 'cron'.

Yo hice lo mismo que tu quieres mediante arranque automático del PC mediante
autosetup por BIOS a una hora de la noche con buenos ratios de descarga (por
ejemplo las 3:00h.) y apagado de la máquina, mediante un 'shutdown'
programado en /etc/crontab pasado un tiempo estimado para la descarga
completa, o bien si lo haces por sesiones, con 'wget' a la hora que convenga,
para seguir el proceso al dia siguiente.

Saludos, espero haber aclarado algo :)

 Yo use otro programa para detectar el modem y no lo reconocio, creo que
era
 el pppconfig. Tuve que ponerlo manualmente pero el problema es que tengo
 solo dos puertos que Debian me carga: ttyS0 y ttyS1. El ttyS0 es el del
 mouse, y creo que podria usar arbitrariamente el otro no? o cómo sé cuál
 usar? porque en Windows me usa el COM5 y hay un tutorial que te hace crear
 el ttyS15 para hacer enlace con el /dev/modem y asi usarlo, pero no logré
 hacerlo. De ahí mi duda de cuál puerto elegir y demas... porque suponiendo
 que el wvdialconf no me reconozca el modem como me paso con el pppconfig,
 qué puerto le asigno? esa es mi duda mas que nada, porque aunque en
Windows
 el modem anda, Linux no me lo detecta y tengo que configurarlo
 manualmente... pero manualmente no sé qué puerto asignar. El modem estoy
 seguro de que es PCI Full y que no es winmodem, pero no pude hacerlo
 andar... yo me tiro mas por el lado de que soy muy inexperto, ademas de
que
 un amigo de la lista que entiende mucho mas que yo, me reocmendó ese modem
 siendo que lo vio funcionar sin dramas. Voy a probar con el wvdialconf
 mientras espero a algun alma caritativa que me saque esas dudas del puerto
y
 demas.

 Tiene un programa para configurar el modem que me ha funcionado
 bastante bien. Va chequeando los distintos puertos serie y trata
 de darse cuenta de qué tipo de modem tienes.

 Se trata del paquete wvdial y el programa de configuración se
 llama wvdialconf

 En realidad no me acuerdo de qué es lo que hace el programa
 en sí, siempre lo usé para detectar el modem (puerto, velocidad
 y esas cosas), nunca pasé del wvdialconf).

 Con respecto a los modems internos PCI: efectivamente, la
 mayoría son winmodems, pero no todos. Yo tengo uno que es
 un modem en serio y funciona bien en linux.

comiences con este, el cual es muy fácil de manejar y si quieres más

Básicamente tienes que:
* instalarte el paquete ipop3d
* crearles cuentas a todos los usuarios que quieres que puedan acceder
* al POP3 de tu máquina con useradd

Y con esto, todos los que tengan cuenta en tu máquina se pueden
conectar al puerto POP3 con su login y passwd y recoger su correo
desde otras máquinas.

Re: Programa un suceso, y manejo de wget

 Quiero saber como puedo hacer para que mi linux haga alga algo y acabe o
 entro caso devcirle que termine a determinada hora, ademas como es el manejo
 de wget para hacer que despues de parada una descarga la pueda reaundar

 Aparte de usar at (para ejecutar procesos, deberias aprender a usar
 CRON (para ejecutarlos, o acabarlos, con kill).

 Para wget, sencillamente usa siempre wget -c y cuando quieras parar
 pulsa ctrl + c. Para continuar donde se quedó, ejecuta la misma orden
 de antes en el mismo directorio (aunque sea otro dia).

 
 _
   
Uso de CRON para tareas programadas.
 _
   
   Utilizando crontab -e como usuario (o mediante programas como
   kcrontab para KDE), se puede editar el fichero de tareas programadas
   de CRON.
   
   Su sintaxis consiste en una línea por taréa, con el siguiente formato:
   
   minute hour daymonth month dayweek comando
   
   Los valores pueden ser los siguientes:
  minute 0-59
  hour   0-23
  day of month   0-31
  month  0-12 (or names, see below)
  day of week0-7 (0 and 7 = sunday)

   Si algún campo queramos que se ignore (que se ejecute para cualquier
   valor) pondremos un *.
   
   También pueden incluirse múltiples fechas mediante la COMA, como por
   ejemplo, ejecutar un programa los dias 1,3,5,7 de la semana.
   
   Ejemplos: ejecución del programa randsig:
  A las 12:30 de la mañana:

 30  12  * * *   /usr/bin/randsig

   Eso ejecutaría randsig a la 12:30 de cualquier dia de la semana,
   cualquier día del mes, y en cualquier mes, es decir: ejecutaría
   randsig todos los días a las 12:30:
  A las 12:30 de la madrugada:

 30  00  * * *   /usr/bin/randsig

   Para disponer del PATH estándar para la ejecución de los comandos (y
   no tener que añadirlo en todos, pues el PATH no estará disponible)
   puede incluirse la siguiente línea al principio del fichero:
   PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:(etc...)

   Por defecto cron envia un email con la salida estándar y otro con la
   salida de error (si la hay) al usuario propietario de la tarea. Para
   evitar esto podemos usar 1/dev/null y 2/dev/null (ambos, o sólo 1 de
   ellos si queremos conocer los errores, por ejemplo).
   
   Ej:
   30   12   * * *   comando 1/dev/null 2/dev/null

   También puede usarse /dev/null 21
   Se pueden incluír líneas de comentarios con # al principio.
   Más información: man 5 crontab.

Para ejecutar un programa a determinada hora usa el at. Teclea man at en la 
consola para
ver las distintas opciones. Con el wget yo uso:

/usr/bin/wget -o logfile -nd -c -r -H -i fichero_con_las_URLs_a_descargar

-nd para no crear la jerarquía de directorios cuando descargo recursivamente.
-c para que continúe desde el punto en que se cortó la transmisión.
-r recursivo, self-explained ;-)
-H para seguir los enlaces de pega cuando hacemos descarga recursiva.
-i lee las URLs a bajar del fichero especificado.

No se te olvide poner la opción --passive-ftp si estás detrás de un firewall.

Esto lo meto en un selescrí, tal que así:

[EMAIL PROTECTED](~)_$ cat Downloads/descarga.sh
#! /bin/bash
cd /home/jcamen/Downloads
/usr/bin/wget -o logfile -nd -c -r -H -i fichero_con_las_URLs_a_descargar

donde previamente he escrito en el fichero fichero_con_las_URLs_a_descargar 
la lista que me
quiero bajar. Después lo meto en el crontab, man crontab para ver como 
usarlo, para que lo
ejecute diaria o semanalmente (p.e. todos los sábados a las 03:00 h.) y ya'tá 
;-).

Problemas con el exim (¿y el dns?)

2001-01-17 Thread Jaume Sabater
Enas

Tengo dos máquinas: una estacion de trabajo y una que hace de
router-firewall, las dos con el exim.

El caso es que desde la estacion de trabajo no me deja mandar mails, pues
/var/log/exim/rejectlog me dice que 

2001-01-17 19:22:28 refused relay (host) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] H=(cafetera) [193.57.33.102] (193.57.33.102 does not match
any IP address for proxy.ese.dominio.com)

Supongo que debe ser algun problema de resolucion de nombres, el caso es
que si des de la estacion de trabajo hago un nslookup me dice que nanai,
que no hay servidor de nombres... Pero haciendo un host dominio si me
responde... 

El /etc/resolv.conf es exactamente eso:

nameserver 194.224.156.2

En el router-firewall está puesto el bind, aunque no he configurado ninguna
zona... ¿Deberia hacerlo? ¿Cómo?

Lo que si puedo hacer es telnetear al router-proxy al puerto 25 desde la
estación de trabajo. ¿Porque si puedo telnetear yo no puede hacrelo el
exim? Eso me hace suponer que el exim del router-firewall esta bien, que el
problema es del exim o el dns de la estacion de trabajo.

Bueno, a ver si me podeis hechar un cablecito...

apt-get y dselect.

2001-01-17 Thread Pablo Dorronsoro
Buenas...
Llevo un mes o asi sin actulizar mi woody con lo que el numero de
paquetes a actulizar es considerable, y me pasa algo un poco raro.
Normalmente acutalizaba siempre con apt-get update; apt-get upgrade pero
ahora despues de hacer apt-get update ejecute dselect.

El caso es que tengo muchos paquetes que me aparecen como obsolete y que
el quiere desinstalar. Me da un poco de miedo. Entre otros estan por
ejemplo el task-x-window-system-core y un monton de cosas la mayoria de
kde y gnome.

Sin embargo si en vez de con dslect lo hago con apt-get update no
intenta borrar nada sino solo cambiarme cosas. ?Que esta pasando?
Supongo que los paquetes marcados como obsoletos en dselect son paquetes
que han sido sustituidos por nbuevas versiones (kde2.0-kde2.1beta) y
que dslect me quiere borrar los viejos y apt-get solamente me baja los
nuevos dejandome los dos. Estoy en lo cierto?

Gracias y saludos.

Hola, posiblemente este es un offtopic muy bestia, pero tengo problemas

Algun kmap.gz catalán ? Tambien los tengo en las X, pero creo que se

Complementando o que foi sugerido...

Minha placa não é como a sua, mas com vídeo onboard também. O que fiz foi
atualizar apenas o arquivo (server) XF86_SVGA da versão 4xx do XFree (copiei
por cima do arquivo da versão 3xx para manter o restante da versão da
distribuição). E quando configurei pelo xf86config, mandei que utilizasse o
próprio. Lá dentro, rodei o xvidtune, copiei os Modelines e ajustei na mão o
XF86Config.

Resumindo. Fiquei com a versão XFree original da distro, com apenas o server
SVGA da versão 4 do XFree.

Talvez também resolva no seu caso. Mas não se esqueça de copiar o XF86_SVGA
original em backup.

Se ainda houver dúvida, mail-me.

mh-rmail in emacs falls over at 10k messages.

2001-01-17 Thread Paul Schulz
Greetings,

I was starting to enjoy using mh-rmail mode in emacs.  It suddenly
stopped displaying messages, even though it would read them, at
message  (or there abouts).

The Debian connection? This took about 5 months of debian-user,
debian-laptop and kernel-dev.

I copied ~/Mail/inbox to ~/Mail/inbox0 and everything started working
again. 

'nmh' from the command line, seems to be able to cope with this.

 Whoops!  Sorry.  I searched for 'cs4236' and forgot to try 'CS4236'.  My

 Ummm... didn't see anything in xconfig for a cs4236 driver...  course,
 it's been one of those weeks :(

Maybe need to enable experimental drivers?  Ahh, just looking and was
thinking of Crystal Soundfusion (CS4280/CS461x).  It came up in my
head because there's some connection with the CS4611 PCI audio
accelerator (which I have, but doesn't work with that driver).

 Whee! It says: modprobe sound, insmod ad1848, insmod uart401, insmod
 cs4232 io=* irq=* dma=* dma2=* and it gives nominal values, same as you
 gave. (about the only thing that is tickling my brain at this point is
 it refers to the io=0x534 being the same as the 'Windows Sound System'
 -- do I need to compile in the Microsoft Sound system module to kick
 this thing in gear?).  Tried that.  Still didn't work.  Same document
   No you don't want generic WSS (only 8-bit I think).
 
 says if this doesnt work, need to use Linux PnP.  So, I look in
 xconfig.  Yes, I enabled Plug-n-Pray.  It says to check out pnpdump,
 isapnp, and isapnp.conf.  So, I dug a bit thru the manpages for those

PNP shouldn't be required (though I've done it with both with no
difference -- 'cept some isapnp settings will make the sound worse 
like in WSS mode).

 Whoohoo!  Looking good!  So I do a quick rmmod to remove my still
 uninitialized cs4232 module, and then do another 'insmod cs4232 io=0x534
 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0'.  And this is what I got for my troubles:
 
 ishamael:/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound# insmod cs4232 io=0x534
 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
 Using /lib/modules/2.2.18/misc/cs4232.o
 
 I ended up (as before) having to do a Cntrl+'c' to kill it to get my
 computer back.  I tried io=0x220 as well, hoping(praying) for SB
 compatibility, something.  Nada.
 
 /bash head against desk
 
 Any idea's suggestions, I'm open to 'em.  Ugh, this is almost like
 work!! 

Maybe consider forking over a couple bucks for a couple SB LIVE
soundcards?  I understand they're dirt cheap and work well for what they
do.  I don't understand why your machine would get stuck.  Do you have
your BIOS set to PNP OS?  If so, turn it off.  Think I've told you
'bout all I could think of.

Re: cdrecord problems

2001-01-17 Thread Brian Frederick Kimball
Mike wrote:

 SCSI emulation support
 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI
   This will provide SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices,
   and will allow you to use a SCSI device driver instead of a native
   ATAPI driver.
 
   This is useful if you have an ATAPI device for which no native
   driver has been written (for example, an ATAPI PD-CD or CDR drive);
   you can then use this emulation together with an appropriate SCSI
   device driver. In order to do this, say Y here and to SCSI support
   and SCSI generic support, below. You must then provide the kernel
   command line hdx=scsi (try man bootparam or see the
   documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to
   pass options to the kernel at boot time) for devices if you want the
   native EIDE sub-drivers to skip over the native support, so that
   this SCSI emulation can be used instead. This is required for use of
   CD-RW's.
 
   Note that this option does NOT allow you to attach SCSI devices to a
   box that doesn't have a SCSI host adapter installed.
 
   If both this SCSI emulation and native ATAPI support are compiled
   into the kernel, the native support will be used.
 
 Part way through is what you sent, at the end is what I sent.  To me this
 particular passage is self-contradictory.  At one point it says you can, and
 then goes on to say that you can't.  Which portion am I to believe?

I read this to mean that by default the native support will be used if
both are compiled into the kernel, and you can change the default by
using hdx=scsi.

 Then there's the matter of whether it's hdx=scsi or hdx=ide-scsi  One source
 says one thing, another says another thing.  What's more confusing is they
 *both* *work*.  You got your's right from the kernel docs - an authoratative
 source, to be sure.  I got mine from the CD-Writing HOWTO - not an
 authoritative source, but it does work.

drivers/ide/ide.c:
[...]
/*
 * Look for drive options:  hdx=
 */
if (s[0] == 'h'  s[1] == 'd'  s[2] = 'a'  s[2] = max_drive) {
const char *hd_words[] = {none, noprobe, nowerr, cdrom,
serialize, autotune, noautotune,
slow, swapdata, bswap, flash,
remap, noremap, scsi, NULL};
unit = s[2] - 'a';
hw   = unit / MAX_DRIVES;
unit = unit % MAX_DRIVES;
hwif = ide_hwifs[hw];
drive = hwif-drives[unit];
-  if (strncmp(s + 4, ide-, 4) == 0) {
-  strncpy(drive-driver_req, s + 4, 9);
-  goto done;
}
[...]

OK, apparently you can prepend any ide driver option with ide- and
it will still work, so I guess we're both right (but my choice is
clearly the preferred one :-).

Found it.  From the help blurb in the SCSI emulation section of make
menuconfig:

If both this SCSI emulation and native ATAPI support are compiled into the
kernel, the native support will be used.

So, take out the built-in IDE CDROM support and all will be well.

Which, of course, also means that you have to have a hdX=ide-scsi for 
 each and every IDE-cdrom, because without IDE-cdrom-support you would 
 otherwise not be able to use it (I´ve shoot myself in the foot with 
 this once ;) )...

 Here's his problem:
 
   2. Added append=hdd=3Dide-scsi to my /etc/lilo.conf
  
 Should just be hdd=scsi.  Search for =scsi in
 linux/Documentation/Configure.help for more info.

I found an old working lilo-config in a backup, where it reads

append=ether=5,0x360,eth1 hda=49585,16,63 hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi

Somewhere in the exmh-docs it´s also mentioned. So my pragmatic

 because it slows down searching et al and if I want to search

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

 OK i've got a NIC that i need to get working.

 its PCI appears to support Co-ax as well as cat-45

 it has a netware approved sticker on it

 it has 3 components on it made by Delta

 the most comprehensible component proclaims itself to be

 Delta LANF7236 9701F

 has anyone got any ideas what driver i should use?

 it has worked with slackware (which does auto-detect) but the HD it was 
 working with has gone to heaven.

 thanks for any help that can be proferred

If it's a PCI nic just pop it into a computer with a PCI bus and see what
you get.  On Linux you should find this ethernet card listed under
/proc/pci someplace.

You can also try to do modprobe ne2k-pci as root - it sounds awfully
similar to a NE2000 PCI card I have here someplace.

Q: SB16 ok-Need load other modules?

2001-01-17 Thread Jonathan Gift
Hi,

I have my SB16 working fine with the following modules compiled and
loaded:

sound
uart401
sb io=0x220 irq=10 dma=1 dma16=5

Everything works. But I didn't find the other card options when
compiling to, I believe, load the following modules:

mpu_io=0x330
op13 io=0x388

So the question is, have I in fact missed some settings in my kernel (if
so, which) compiling and are there further modules and uses of the
card and are they those just above?

Thanks.

  Both my network cards were detected and both seem to be
  working right. One of them has a local network address which
  I assigned my self with the following command: ifconfig eth0
  192.168.0.1. The other was configured as a cable modem upon
  installation. When I boot it is assigned the address
  24.200.41.15 and the netmask 255.255.255.0.  

from what i can tell (and based on my setup)
you need the address of the cablemodem...

if your ip is static, the the cablemodem's
probably is, too. if not, you're probably in
need of dhcp expertice, which i don't have. :)

  My routing tables consists of the following entries (all

  192.168.0.0*255.255.255.0u000eth0

  127.0.0.1Lisalocalhost
  192.168.0.2 Marge
  192.168.0.3 Homer
  24.200.41.15LIsa

presuming you're using a healthily-updated potato, (debian 2.2)
your /etc/network/interfaces should resemble

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0

network 208.33.90.0
broadcast 24.200.41.255
gateway 24.200.41.cableModemIPnumber


then configure all your other networked boxes
to be 192.168.0.2,3,4... and have a default/
gateway/router of 192.168.0.1 (being your linux).

   From my linux box, I can ping addresses on the 192.168.0.0
   and 24.200.41.0 networks and  I can ping the DNS server
   (24.200.243.242). I can't ping modemcable001.4 From my
   win98SE comps I can only ping addresses in the 192.168.0.0
   network. If I want to ping addresses in the 24.200.41.0 or
   the DNS server, I need to enter the following commands:
   ipchains -P forward ACCEPT and ipcahins -A forward -s
   192.168.0.0/24 -d 0/0 -j MASQ.  Also before I can enter
   these commands I need to enable ip_forward: echo 1 
   ip_forward. .   

aha!

apt-get install ipmasq

boy will THAT save you some trouble!

   I cannot access the internet from any on my win98SE comps.
   And I haven't installed any applications on my linux box, so
   I can try accessing any http sites from the this comp. The
   proxy settings are detected but the pages will not load.
   What has to be done to fix the situation and to allow games
   and email progs to go through? 

make sure your linux can get to the web; try something
like

lynx http://www.rootprompt.org

once your 'ipmasq' package is installed and your ipchains
(or ipfwadm for slink users) rules are in place, then any
connect success you have on the linux box ought to be
reproducible on the windo~1 boxes. theoretically.

 Whoops!  Sorry.  I searched for 'cs4236' and forgot to try 'CS4236'.  My

 Ummm... didn't see anything in xconfig for a cs4236 driver...  course,
 it's been one of those weeks :(

Maybe need to enable experimental drivers?  Ahh, just looking and was
thinking of Crystal Soundfusion (CS4280/CS461x).  It came up in my
head because there's some connection with the CS4611 PCI audio
accelerator (which I have, but doesn't work with that driver).

 Whee! It says: modprobe sound, insmod ad1848, insmod uart401, insmod
 cs4232 io=* irq=* dma=* dma2=* and it gives nominal values, same as you
 gave. (about the only thing that is tickling my brain at this point is
 it refers to the io=0x534 being the same as the 'Windows Sound System'
 -- do I need to compile in the Microsoft Sound system module to kick
 this thing in gear?).  Tried that.  Still didn't work.  Same document
   No you don't want generic WSS (only 8-bit I think).
 
 says if this doesnt work, need to use Linux PnP.  So, I look in
 xconfig.  Yes, I enabled Plug-n-Pray.  It says to check out pnpdump,
 isapnp, and isapnp.conf.  So, I dug a bit thru the manpages for those

PNP shouldn't be required (though I've done it with both with no
difference -- 'cept some isapnp settings will make the sound worse 
like in WSS mode).

 Whoohoo!  Looking good!  So I do a quick rmmod to remove my still
 uninitialized cs4232 module, and then do another 'insmod cs4232 io=0x534
 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0'.  And this is what I got for my troubles:
 
 ishamael:/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound# insmod cs4232 io=0x534
 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
 Using /lib/modules/2.2.18/misc/cs4232.o
 
 I ended up (as before) having to do a Cntrl+'c' to kill it to get my
 computer back.  I tried io=0x220 as well, hoping(praying) for SB
 compatibility, something.  Nada.
 
 /bash head against desk
 
 Any idea's suggestions, I'm open to 'em.  Ugh, this is almost like
 work!! 

Maybe consider forking over a couple bucks for a couple SB LIVE
soundcards?  I understand they're dirt cheap and work well for what they
do.  I don't understand why your machine would get stuck.  Do you have
your BIOS set to PNP OS?  If so, turn it off.  Think I've told you
'bout all I could think of.

Re: IMAP MUA and filtering

2001-01-17 Thread Damon Muller
Hi Matthew,

On Tue, Jan 16, 2001 at 10:59:48PM +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I have recently managed to set up Postfix, and get it to feed to the
 Cyrus IMAP server. At the moment I'm using TkRat, but am finding it a
 little restrictive.

This isn't an MUA solution, but rather a whole mail system, but it
works well for me.

maildrop is a procmail-like MDA which is packaged for debian, and is
very stable and easy to use. IMHO, its syntax is a lot easier to
understand than procmail - it uses pretty bog-standard conditionals,
curley braces, and posix regexs.

If postfix supports .forward files, you'll need something like

| maildrop -d $USER

in your .forward file (off the top of my head, could be wrong).

Next get courier-imap, which may be available for debian, but if it
isn't it's very easy to compile by hand (configure; make; make
install). It's available at www.courier-mta.com.

Courier uses maildir directories (which are supported by maildrop,
which is by the same author as courier-imap), so you just need to tell
maildrop to, say, deliver debian-user into ./Maildir/.debian-user,
which then becomes available as an imap folder.

You can then read your imap mail with mutt, which now has good support
for imap and imap browsing (hint: try spool = {localhost}INBOX in
your .muttrc). The IMAP client in netscape also works well with this
combination.

If you want to get really fancy, on the courier site you can also find
sqwebmail, which is a hotmail like webmail interface, which works with
the same maildirs as courier-imap. It also has a nice web interface for
writing sorting rules, so you don't have to edit your .mailfilter file
by hand to add new sorting rules.

I use effectively this combination myself, and it works really well.

 Could anyone reccomment a good MUA with good support for IMAP and
 filtering of incomming mail. I'm assuming one can't use procmail to
 filter mail as it won't work in a IMAPd (I think!), so which MUAs are
 there out there that both support IMAP and filtering?
 
 I am interested in functionality rather than a pretty GUI, and am more
 than happy with a console app if it does everything I need it to.

In this case, you can't go past mutt. Nothing with a pretty gui (even
for windows) comes near it for functionality and spead. It has somewhat
of a steep learning curve, but it's worth it.

cheers,

damon

Yes, you can use find for backups.  I find (pun noted) my own mechanisms

Re: IMAP MUA and filtering

2001-01-17 Thread Brian May
 Damon == Damon Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

Damon I use effectively this combination myself, and it works
Damon really well.

My only dislike of the above is courier-imap. It insists that all
folders appear below INBOX (eg. INBOX.trash) which in turn looks
messy and prevents using a hierarchy for your own folders.

ie. A commonly known commercial mail program for a non-Debian
non-Linux OS would display:

imap
  |- INBOX
 |- trash
 |- sent_mail
 |- sent_mail_1998
 |- sent_mail_1999
 |- sent_mail_1999_January

which is totally broken IMHO, as what I want is:

imap
  |- INBOX
  |- trash
  |- sent_mail
 |- 1998
 |- 1999
|- January (this one might be tricky, as nested folders to this
depth are not supported by the Maildir++ standard[1]).

as none of the folders have anything to do with INBOX, but
Courier-imap does not support this.

The author was written something and claims that this behaviour is not
broken[2], but instead blames the client. I remain unconvinced.

I do not believe he answers the question in the FAQ (change the
question from Why can't I create any top-level folders, only
subfolders of INBOX?  to Why do all folder names need to be prefixed
with 'INBOX.'? and the answer might make more sense).

In short all folders have to be sub folders of INBOX because that is
what courier-imap uses to indicate private (non-shared) mail, and no
solution to this problem is given.

Yes, it may be not be absolutely necessary, but I for one like _full_

 alleverything (excluding things not needed anyway to get a running 
 system again) in one step.

But this is to everyones own liking, IMHO.

backup with some path/files excluded

Yes, you can use find for backups.  I find (pun noted) my own mechanisms
sufficient.  'find' may produce problems with filenames containing
embedded blanks, haven't checked this myself.  You may wish to
investigate.

Yup, find has troubles with it. But as I don´t want _any_ files on my 
 system containing spaces, I run a little script which changes them all 
 to underscores anyway before I do any backup. But point taken, this is 
 far from perfection (but so is your method ;) ).

But this is one of the points of Open Source: everyone can look at the 
 code, make changes and discuss the pros and cons in public.

So we could start a discussion which level of complexitivity and

On bug reporting

2001-01-17 Thread Enrico Zini
Hello!

I would like to know if there are guidelines for bug reporting: I use
debian unstable, and I find bugs, but I don't report most of them for many
reasons.

I've never discussed these reasons with anyone.  Now I would like to.

I identified until now three kind of such unreported bugs:

 - Evident bugs

   I work mainly offline, so I don't have constant access to
   bugs.debian.org, and usually can't know when a bug has already been
   reported.
   When I find a bug in a package that is likely to already have been
   reported, I don't do it to avoid the possibility of flooding the bug
   database with reduntant reports.

   An example of this is when tar changed behaviour of the 'I' switch, or
   when a package can't be upgraded due to missing dependancies (like
   glademm, erlang and wordtrans are now), or when a package keeps redoing
   the same debconf questions on most updates.
   
   I only report these bugs when I see the problem persisting after a week
   or two.  Should I always report it, instead?
   
 - Pedantic bugs

   Sometimes I notice something that should be different, but I don't know
   if it is to be considered as a bug, and I don't report it.
   
   For example, packages like skipstone, or powermanga or lxdoom appear in
   the Debian menus but not in the Gnome menus (is there a policy for
   Gnome menus?), or alsa doesn't load oss-emulation modules on demand
   with kernel 2.4.0+devfs (are packages supposed to correctly cope with
   devfs?)

   Should I be on the safe side and risk reporting a non-bug, or should I
   be on the other safe side and risk non-reporting a bug?

 - Non-Debian small bugs

   Sometimes I find small bugs that are clearly to be reported upstream,
   like wrong i18n translations (many, many, many of them), usability
   quirks or even usability suggestions, that I don't report upstream
   because I can't quickly find the address of the right person, and
   there's not an handy tool like `bug' for them, or there is, but is
   online, or there is, offline, but I don't know how to launch it,
   because every program has its own.
   
   It would be very handy to file a `whishlist' bug to the Debian BTS,
   knowing they are eventually reported upstream, but I don't do it to
   avoid flooding the BTS with non-debian-related items.

   Could the Debian BTS be used as a proxy service to upstream mantainers
   (considering that with debian-native packages it already is supposed to
   collect these kind of reports anyway) or we should wait for the
   development of a different common bug reporting system for such little
   issues?


I would like to hear your opinion on this behaviours, to get out of Doubt
into The Right Way (TM) to report bugs.

   
Bye! Enrico

Re: bin86

2001-01-17 Thread Tom Pfeifer
That error seems to get just about everyone when compiling a kernel the
first time. If you look back in the debian-user archives far enough,
you'll find me asking about it.

The base system is only meant to get enough of a running system so that
you can then go ahead and install the rest. It should be kept that way.

 It is not installed in the initial Debian install.  Both times I have
 done new installs of 2.2r2 and gone to rebuild a new kernel (from the
 source from kernel.org) the build has stopped with an error that it
 can't find as86.  I install the bin86 package and run make again and
 it goes fine.  Am I missing something else that should be there to
 build the kernel or is bin86 really needed?  I am wondering which

I was in ypur position a little while back with a dual boot finally just

come with having an MTA so I bit the bullet and researched what was out
there. The general opinion was that Mutt was the best so I installed, no
compiling, and grabbed as many of the setup (.muttrc files) I could
fine. It took a good couple of days of fiddling around and and lot's of
questions, but I got up and running fairly painlessly and haven't
regretted it. Once you get used to Mutt it is far superior to Outlook
and you can get very fast on it. My two cents worth is put in the time
and you won't be sorry.
 
 Okay, maybe a little sooner but this is getting to me, how on earth is linux

True. But while desktop systems such as KDE and Gnome are trying to
rival Windows functionality, I don't think Linux itself is, nor should
it. And there's the rub.

I'm currently doing just that so that I can still use Pegasus which

Some bug reports that I get are actually down to PEBKAC[1] but I

Upstream bugs are not non-Debian issues.  If the package is in Debian,

 that APT evolved out of DPKG and that they each

apt is a distribution-level management tool.  dpkg is largely aimed at

Apache, SSL, proxy, etc.

2001-01-17 Thread Ola Muan
Hello Debianers,

I'm in the situation of being the only lucky person in our company with
any knowledge of Linux. My skills aren't too high, though.  That's why I
would like to do some loud thinking about this case I'm working on, and
hopefully I'll get som answers to my questions from anyone with higher
skills and more experience than myself. I hope some of you have the
patience to read the entire thing - it grew pretty large while i wrote
it.

He's my case:

We run IIS on Win2KServer as application server against Oracle inside
our firewall.  Now we want to provide to our customers the ability to
access reports and such things on that IIS via the Internet. 

Then there are some problems:

Our firewall managers won't let any external http-requests through the
firewall.  

To solve this problem, we're planning to run Apache on an existing
Debian-box in our DMZ (We already run Apache, but only as a regular
web-server). 

Will Apache serve as if it was the real server, or will it only do http
redirection to the IIS? I guess that the latter is true. (Please correct
me if I'm wrong.)

Then I guess I'll have to make the Apache act as a proxy server of some
kind. Unfortunately my knowledge on that subject is poor. I've heard
about both mod_proxy and Squid. But then the next problem arises: we
need secure connections. We're hoping that we can leave the whole
SSL-job to the IIS. But then I read that proxy-servers, or at least
Squid, doesn't support decryption/encryption, but will only perform
tunnelling of SSL-packets, all of which will have the external client's
signature. And then I'm back where I started, right? -They will be
stopped by the firewall.

(Another assumption: Opening the firewall for https-traffic on port 443
is just as dangerous as opening for http-traffic on port 80. Again:
correct me if this isn't true.)

This probably means that I should turn Apache into a
SSL-and-proxy-animal. 

I've had a look at Apache-SSL. But some recommend to use Apache and
mod_ssl instead. 

Which one is the best, and which proxy server works best in cooperation
with SSL?

I appreciate any comments and suggestions on this, since I don't have
any skilled discussion partner inhouse. Thanks in advance!

Looking for a driver for a sound card

2001-01-17 Thread Jim Lynch
I recently purchased a pci sound card for my system and haven't been
able to make it work.  I tried a generic Yamaha driver, based on things
I read when I did a search, and when I try to
insmod sb.o, I get a message saying 

Using /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/sb.o Device or resource busy
Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid
IO or IRQ parameters

Since it is a pci device, I don't have the ability to change the IO or
IRQ parameters, I don't guess.

I'm running Debian 2.2, kernel 2.2.17 configured to my machine.  The
card is an Xwave 4000, which gives me fits trying to find information
about it by searching the web since there is a graphics program for
Linux called Xwave too.  I got a bunch of bad hits.


Can anyone help or point me to a place I might have luck getting an
answer?

Thanks,
Jim.

   Hi, Richard,

  I just tried to install and get wine running for the first time and
 though it still doesn't run :-( I got the config issue that you seem
 to be having, too, figured out. In the wine manual somewhere they
 mention old and new config format. You can get your old wine.conf
 converted to the new format by copying it to ~/.winerc
 After doing that start wine and it will convert the config which you'll
 be able to copy to ~/.wine/config

  it's been one of those weeks :(
 
 Maybe need to enable experimental drivers?  Ahh, just looking and was
 thinking of Crystal Soundfusion (CS4280/CS461x).  It came up in my
 head because there's some connection with the CS4611 PCI audio
 accelerator (which I have, but doesn't work with that driver).
 
  Whee! It says: modprobe sound, insmod ad1848, insmod uart401, insmod
  cs4232 io=* irq=* dma=* dma2=* and it gives nominal values, same as you
  gave. (about the only thing that is tickling my brain at this point is
  it refers to the io=0x534 being the same as the 'Windows Sound System'
  -- do I need to compile in the Microsoft Sound system module to kick
  this thing in gear?).  Tried that.  Still didn't work.  Same document
No you don't want generic WSS (only 8-bit I think).
 
  says if this doesnt work, need to use Linux PnP.  So, I look in
  xconfig.  Yes, I enabled Plug-n-Pray.  It says to check out pnpdump,
  isapnp, and isapnp.conf.  So, I dug a bit thru the manpages for those
 
 PNP shouldn't be required (though I've done it with both with no
 difference -- 'cept some isapnp settings will make the sound worse
 like in WSS mode).
 
  Whoohoo!  Looking good!  So I do a quick rmmod to remove my still
  uninitialized cs4232 module, and then do another 'insmod cs4232 io=0x534
  irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0'.  And this is what I got for my troubles:
 
  ishamael:/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound# insmod cs4232 io=0x534
  irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
  Using /lib/modules/2.2.18/misc/cs4232.o
 
  I ended up (as before) having to do a Cntrl+'c' to kill it to get my
  computer back.  I tried io=0x220 as well, hoping(praying) for SB
  compatibility, something.  Nada.
 
  /bash head against desk
 
  Any idea's suggestions, I'm open to 'em.  Ugh, this is almost like
  work!!
 
 Maybe consider forking over a couple bucks for a couple SB LIVE
 soundcards?  I understand they're dirt cheap and work well for what they
 do.  I don't understand why your machine would get stuck.  Do you have
 your BIOS set to PNP OS?  If so, turn it off.  Think I've told you
 'bout all I could think of.
 

Well, I _have_ a Soundblaster AWE64, and a Soundblaster16(dunno if this
one works -- I 'inherited' it).  I'd tried the AWE64 awhile back, and it
seemed like things didn't want to play nicely, even w/ the onboard sound
disabled in the BIOS.  The main reasons I've been trying to get the
onboard sound working is a) the principle of the thing, and b) I've had
it working under RH w/ sndconfig (though w/ that damn 'pop'), and
flawlessly under SuSE 6.4 w/ the OSS/commercial drivers and SuSE
7.0/Mandrake 7.2 w/ whatever drivers they use.  Unfortunately, I never
dug around to see 'how', since things just 'worked'.

Thanks for all your help, Eric.  I really appreciate it.

 There's your problem.  For the SCSI emulation to work you have to remove
 the IDE CDROM support.  IIRC I had to *completely* remove the IDE support,
 though it might work if you compile it as a module.  I figured that with
 the SCSI emulation I wouldn't need the IDE syupport, so I left it
 completely out.

While it's true it's _easier_ to setup if you remove IDE CDROM
support from the kernel, it's not strickly necessary.

For my PD-CD on /dev/hdd to be detected as ide-scsi using a stock
Debian kernel, I have used this in lilo.conf:

 append=hdd=ide-scsi

and created a file /etc/modutils/pdcd containing:

 # Leave hdd for ide-scsi module
 options ide-cd ignore=/dev/hdd
 # Run update-modules after editing this file.

Then I run /sbin/update-modules and the above shows up in
/etc/modules.conf and the kernel's IDE driver doesn't grab hdd on
bootup.

The only simplifying step I'm missing is how to pass the
hdd=ide-scsi info to the kernel using modules.conf instead of
lilo.conf (That way, it wouldn't matter if I used lilo or not).
Anyone? 

  1. apt-get install cdrecord
  2. Added append=hdd=ide-scsi to my /etc/lilo.conf
  3. Ran lilo
  4. Added alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi to /etc/modutils/aliases
  5. Ran update-modules
 
 Once you remove the IDE support, these steps should produce working
 results.

Before people start telling you to not compile-in IDE-CDROM support, to
start adding lines to lilo.conf etc., here's what I did; In the
appropriate section of lilo.conf, I added:

append = ignore=hdd hdd=ide-scsi

The ignore=hdd tells the IDE code to ignore HDD. Trust me, it works. I
know you're probably pissed at everyone else telling you to do different
things, but please try this. It should work. If it doesn't, *please* let
me know. :)

No, you don't - not in my experience.

Currently, for me, Sylpheed is in the sweet spot. It has all the
features I use(filtering, newgroup reading/posting, multiple account
support, etc., etc.), and none of the features I don't work(calandering,
HTML, you name it).

Check it out. It's GTK+ based, not GNOME-based, so you don't have to
install too much. GTK+, of course. :)

Depending on why you think that's a problem, it might not be ;) I've
long hated mail apps that munge my stuff. If it's in 'mbox' format,
leave it alone. :) Anyways, check out the 'nmh' package. It has lots of
tools used with MH-format directories. Very useful. Procmail also
support MH-format folders too.

RE: Firewalls and IP Maskerade

2001-01-17 Thread Serge Gibeau
Hey,

 I am able to access the internet from my linux box. I tried a few sites
with lynx, and they all connected.  My /etc/network/interface file has the
following entry when I boot up, which is sufficient to properly configure my
cable modem NIC as it seems.

 iface eth1 inet dhcp


That /etc/network/interface file is execute on start-up I gather? Could I
add an entry for my other NIC? How would I do so if possible? It doesn't
seem like I will need to reconfigure the eth1 NIC (since I can access the
net). But if I had to and wanted to configure it has a static ip,  how
would I go about finding my cable modem ip (24.200.41.cablemodemIPnumber)?

Finally, I tried the apt-get command. I got an error saying it could not
find the packages or something.  Do I have to specify where it should look
for it (soruces.lists or something)?

 Thx for the help

 Hi,

  Both my network cards were detected and both seem to be
  working right. One of them has a local network address which
  I assigned my self with the following command: ifconfig eth0
  192.168.0.1. The other was configured as a cable modem upon
  installation. When I boot it is assigned the address
  24.200.41.15 and the netmask 255.255.255.0.

from what i can tell (and based on my setup)
you need the address of the cablemodem...

if your ip is static, the the cablemodem's
probably is, too. if not, you're probably in
need of dhcp expertice, which i don't have. :)

  My routing tables consists of the following entries (all
  automaticaly configured, I haven't entered any):

  192.168.0.0*255.255.255.0u000eth0
  24.200.41.0*255.255.255.0u000eth1
  defaultmodemcable001.40.0.0.0ug000eth1


   My hosts file /etc has the following entries.  I added the last 3
entries.

  127.0.0.1Lisalocalhost
  192.168.0.2 Marge
  192.168.0.3 Homer
  24.200.41.15LIsa

presuming you're using a healthily-updated potato, (debian 2.2)
your /etc/network/interfaces should resemble

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255

iface eth1 inet static
address 24.200.41.15
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 208.33.90.0
broadcast 24.200.41.255
gateway 24.200.41.cableModemIPnumber


then configure all your other networked boxes
to be 192.168.0.2,3,4... and have a default/
gateway/router of 192.168.0.1 (being your linux).

   From my linux box, I can ping addresses on the 192.168.0.0
   and 24.200.41.0 networks and  I can ping the DNS server
   (24.200.243.242). I can't ping modemcable001.4 From my
   win98SE comps I can only ping addresses in the 192.168.0.0
   network. If I want to ping addresses in the 24.200.41.0 or
   the DNS server, I need to enter the following commands:
   ipchains -P forward ACCEPT and ipcahins -A forward -s
   192.168.0.0/24 -d 0/0 -j MASQ.  Also before I can enter
   these commands I need to enable ip_forward: echo 1 
   ip_forward. .

aha!

apt-get install ipmasq

boy will THAT save you some trouble!

   I cannot access the internet from any on my win98SE comps.
   And I haven't installed any applications on my linux box, so
   I can try accessing any http sites from the this comp. The
   proxy settings are detected but the pages will not load.
   What has to be done to fix the situation and to allow games
   and email progs to go through?

make sure your linux can get to the web; try something
like

lynx http://www.rootprompt.org

once your 'ipmasq' package is installed and your ipchains
(or ipfwadm for slink users) rules are in place, then any
connect success you have on the linux box ought to be
reproducible on the windo~1 boxes. theoretically.

I'm not the original requester and I assume that he has a different/better
reason but...

I normally run X in at least 24 bpp (32 if the video card can do it at my
preferred resolution).  Some of Loki's games will only run in 16 bpp.
I'll occasionally run dual Xen so I can play those games without having to
shut down wdm first.

Re: XFree86 3.3.6 / Linux 2.4.0 / Intel i810

hi bejamin

the XFCom_i810 driver will work with your older XFree86-3.3.x setup
for linux-2.2.18 on the i810 chipsets ( onboard SVGA ? )

linux-2.4.0 fails to install the required agpgart.o for the
server XFCom_i810 ... so no X11 on 2.4.0 ( yet )
- insmod complains about MAP_NR problem...
