latin2, xterm, rxvt, bitchx
Przede wszystkim: czy mógłby mnie ktoś oświecić dlaczego niektóre czcionki (np.: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2) w rxvt wyświetlają się bez ramek, podczas gdy w xtermie nie ma takiego problemu? Czcionka o rozmiarze 140 również w rxvt wygląda prawidłowo, co dziwi tym bardziej. Przekompilowałem BitchX tak, aby wyświetlał polskie literki (tzn. w include/config.h #undef LATIN1 i #define CHARSET_CUSTOM). Od tej pory ogonki widać, występuje jednak zjawisko zamiany niektórych znaków na inne, np.: każda linijka zawierająca coś innego niż wypowiedź powinna zaczynać się od '-:-'. Znaki te uległy zamianie na: 'ůíů'. Powiedzmy, że z tym można się pogodzić. Jednak problem sprawia bitchx uruchomiony w xtermie. Tam znacznie więcej znaków wyświetlanych jest źle, np. '@' przechodzi w znakch paragrafu, '[' w 'A' z umlautem. Taki stan utrzymuje się również po opuszczeniu BitchX-a. W rxvt i na konsoli tekstowej problem ten nie występuje. -- Tomasz Olszewski | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Straszne są słabostki siły. -- Stanisław Jerzy Lec

[OT]-¿Como configurar un firewall?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Buenas a todos:
Me gustaría configurar un firewall por probar cosas nuevas (y poner un
poquito de seguridad) ;-)
Me he leido el Cortafuegos-Como pero creo que me dieron pocos petit-suis
(como se diga) y no termino de entender el concepto.
¿Me podríais dirigir a algun sitio donde pueda enterarme bien de todo este
mogollón?.
Algo así como un tutorial o FAQ para principiantes (principiantes en
firewall's se entiende) y a ser posible en castellano.
Uso Potato con kernel 2.2.18.pre21 (no consigo poner a punto el 2.4, que
fastidio). Lo digo porque ya he visto que segun el kernel se utiliza opciones
diferentes (IPchains 2.2 e IPtables 2.4, bueno, creo que no era así
precisamente).
Muchas gracias.
Hasta luego.

Apache + suEXEC
El paquete apache-ssl viene preparado para alojar las páginas web en /var/www, lo cual no es problema hasta que se te ocurre activar el dichoso suEXEC. Como el directorio raíz de las webs tiene que ser definido durante la compilación de Apache si usas suEXEC, ninguna CGI funciona si las páginas están en otro lado. Como lo de moverlo todo a /var/www no es una solución, podría intentar modificar el source del paquete de debian y cambiar el directorio /var/www por el adecuado, aparentemente sólo en uno de los ficheros (debian/rules). ¿Alguien lo ha hecho alguna vez? Porque la otra alternativa vendría a ser compilar directamente el fuente desde apache.org... -- Héctor Castillo - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: RES: UNIX world...
Olá Hélio, Dae André, No caso do Solaris, existe um nondisclosure agreement, em que você se compromete a não passar o código para mais ninguém, utilizá-lo em outro projeto, ou distribuir versões modificadas. Comparada à GPL, é quase a mesma coisa que ter só o binário. O que eles querem na verade é que um monte de trouxa fique procurando bugs e falhas de segurança de graça. O Plan9, pelo Foi o que eu disse. O Mac OS X também tem um MACL que é igual ao do Solaris. A Microsoft também deve estar preparando uma destas para liberar o Windows e melhorar o código com os samaritanos de plantão. que eu li, nem é UNIX-like. Tirando o shell, que aceita os mesmos comandos, é um conceito novo, mais ou menos como o GNU/Hurd. Em comum com o Gnu/Hurd ele tem a usabilidade, que é quase nula :) Ele é um Unix sim, só que kernel é desenvolvido com o conceito de microkernel, assim como o Hurd. Eu tenho o Plan9 aqui num cd da Geek, mas não fiz nenhum esforço para ver como é. Também a atualização é muito ruim. Em qualquer distribuição GNU/Linux já existem ferramentas muito superiores neste sentido. Um vez um amigo meu pediu para ajudar a instalar o Apache em um AIX. Baixei os fontes, mas o tar que vinha nele era tão antigo que não consegui abrir o código fonte. Tivemos que ficar com o webserver que vinha no CD, somente em binário. Detalhe: a máquina era nova. Vc teve o azar de pegar o pior UNIX para instalação (opinião pessoal). Quando os MIBs (Men In Black) da IBM criaram o hardware do RISC 6000, onde nada rodava, criaram o AIX para fazer o treco funcionar. Até para compilar hello.c no AIX é complicado. De tempos em tempos aparecem incompatibilidades entre o GCC e o AIX. Quer trabalhar com plataforma RISC? Experimente uma Ultra Sparc. Estou usando uma Ultra 5 com Debian e é simplesmente fantástico. Parece um PC de gente grande :-) O próximo passo é ver como rodam os binários de Solaris através de emulação. -- Hélio Alexandre Lopes Loureiro Unix System Engineer FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Debian GNU/Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://helio.loureiro.eng.br

However, the danger of portraying Red Hat Linux as 'sucking' is that it so compresses the space with which to judge software engineering that truly bad stuff is artificially elevated. Besides the fact that it often produces lots of email traffic (read: possible flamewar) with much lower signal-to-noise ratio than normal (here's hoping that this hasn't added to that effect :) ).

Therefore the direct mail. regardin' the staroffice crash you posted to debian-users a month ago, I ran into the same trouble. Some digging revealed quickly that it had to do s.t. with the font management (go to Options/Editor/Fonts - *kaboom*). Also spadmin shows that behaviour, trying to print a test page with a garbled system yields a crash. But in contrast to soffice spadmin can be easily straced. And now for the interesting bit ,). That traces reveal that spadmin tries to open several Type1 fonts that still exist in fonts.dir and fonts.scale. Removing them gave me back a working Star Office.

iptables and kernel 2.4 etc
Hi, I just upgraded to kernel 2.4.4 and I'm now trying to return my computer to some state of normality. after finding I missed a crucial option for ppp and a second recompile :) I'm now up to getting ipmasqing to work. I wasn't really sure what options to go for in the kernel - so I checked everything as modules. An ended up with the following: ip_conntrack.o ipt_MASQUERADE.o ipt_mac.oipt_unclean.o ip_conntrack_ftp.o ipt_MIRROR.o ipt_mark.o iptable_filter.o ip_nat_ftp.oipt_REDIRECT.oipt_multiport.o iptable_mangle.o ip_queue.o ipt_REJECT.o ipt_owner.o iptable_nat.o ip_tables.o ipt_TCPMSS.o ipt_state.o ipt_LOG.o ipt_TOS.o ipt_tcpmss.o of course I don't have a huge idea what most of these are, but I've managed to sort of get things working by a modprobe -a \*, then running ipmasq (problems with which I'll deal with in a sec). and things sort of go. So what I want to know is which of the above modules do I need for a masqed network and simple firewalling as a minimum? And where do I tell the kernel which I want loaded at boot time in the usual way - and everything will be happy? Also - when I run ipmasq, it cunningly iserts alsorts of rules into the filter table with the net result being that I can't access the net at all. (at least - packets get out - but are denied on the way in again). This is not helpful as a default (which it is, since I reinstalled the ipmasq package after purging it in the hope that my probs would go away) Is this a prob with ipmasq and 2.4 kernels or is something else wrong? btw - I found out that ipmasq was at least getting the masqing bit right but flushing all the chains in the filter table and changing the policy to ACCEPT.

xterm, bitchx, latin2, rxvt
Standard potatoe's bitchx package doesn't support non iso8859-1 charsets so I had to recompile bitchx from source. I did it using potatoe's source package. I modified include/config.h: undefined LATIN1 and defined CHRSET_CUSTOM. My iso8859-2 fonts are now displayed properly (unfortunately some characters are not; as far as I know there is no easy way to fix it (?) so that's not the point) on the text console or in the rxvt. The problem is with xterm. When I run BX in it many chars are completely screwed up (like an '@' becomes a paragraph sign, '[' changes into 'A' with umlaut and many more). What's wrong? BTW: many iso8859-2 fonts don't look good in terminals like rxvt: there are no frames (for example in mc). When I try a bigger font (like: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2 insted of: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2 ) everything is fine.

windows key
Hi, A while back, I remapped the ms-windows key on my keyboard to open an xterm. The mapping was done through sawfish configuration. I was pleased to have a Microsoft-intended key open a program that is such a bastion of *nix OS's. Anyway, maybe 2-3 weeks ago, the key stopped responding. Not only does it not run an xterm, but it generates no code whatsoever. That is, when I type Ctrl-V and then hit the windows key, nothing happens. Could someone point me in the right direction, and perhaps suggest a reason what would have caused the change? Thanks. -- Brian J.

I'll try to outline the usual procedure, walking through the list might help you find out what has changed. Run xev, press the windows key and look for the keycode, e.g.: KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x681, root 0x26, subw 0x0, time 2443744271, (-148,-578), root:(826,78), state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffed, Hyper_L), same_screen YES, ^^^ Create $HOME/.Xmodmap and map the keycode to any _unused_ keysym, e.g. (assuming you keyboard has function keys F1-F12, so F13- are not used): keycode 115 = F15 For a complete list of keysyms, see /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h (you need to omit the XK_ prefix when using them with xmodmap). Run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap Now you should be able to bind F15 to any action with sawfish. That's why I was asking how you map a key with sawfish. I'd assume that sawfish binds keysyms to actions, but doesn't now about raw keycodes. But I haven't tried it myself, so this might be wrong. To make this permanent, you need to run xmodmap whenever you launch X. I think /etc/X11/Xsession will do this by default. If not, out the line in ~/.xsession and/or ~/.xinitrc.

It works great w/ Alsa on /dev/dsp0, but I was wondering if I could also have /dev/dsp[123] point to my Ensoniq too, so that i could listen to tunes, play games, etc. Cameron Matheson On Sat, May 19, 2001 at 10:59:38AM -0400, Michael P.

Are they only available if you have multiple sound cards, or how can i access them (i want to be able to play mp3s and have sound in gaim, etc) dsp is short for digital signal processor. To have one of these devices, you need a modern soundcard. My /dev/dsp is the interface to my emu10k1 module driving my SBLive! Value card. At work, with a crystal sound card, it's a symlink to /dev/dsp0 and interfaces with alsa. What soundcard do you have? Mike -- Michael P.

When they go non-standard then I have a problem. There's some abstraction required, so that developers don't need to learn to output postscript, but isn't that what packages like gnome-print are for? *shrug* Keep it simple. Mike -- Michael P.

problem using Wacom tablet with XFree 4.0.3
Hi. I'm having problems getting my Wacom Intuos USB graphical tablet to work with XFree 4.0.3. I have uses the howto as my guide and I got it to work with gpm but when running X I get a lot of these errors in the logfile: Wacom write error : Unknown error 1007 Wacom unable to read first byte of request '~#' answer after 3 tries later on the write error changes to Unknown error 1013 sometimes I also get other numbers but 1007 seems to return frequently. So what does this mean (unknown error isn't very helpfull) and what do I do about it? Thanks, Bas

Are you sure that /dev/dsp isn't a symlink? Maybe you should make it one. Mike pgpWsoGEysVAP.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: nautilus 1.0.3-2 won't start

What does the xmlCheck mean? (originally I'm on a potato machine but I have A LOT of stuff from unstable, which I need for games and multimedia - so it could well be that there is a package that I miss ... or maybe two ...) then why not have unstable? my experience is that unstable is the best way to go for a computer that is not mission critical... I have been using unstable most of the time since the time potato was unstable and had no major problems. I tried testing for some time but as far as I can tell it combines the worst of both words: - you don't have the latest stuff (which is important in lot of cases - e.g. kernel etc...), the gap is often in range of months - the fixes are slow to come (weeks in testing compared to days in unstable) I had considerably less problems since I switched back to unstable about a month ago... that leaves you with two choices - unstable and stable. since stable is too 'old' for you then obvious choice is unstable... you do not gain any stability by combining the unstable and stble, you actually loose some as shown by the nautilus problem... that's just IMO, of course... erik
