Re: am i being wormed? aaugh!
Just to the record: there seems to be a new variant of the worm, with all 'N' being replaced with 'X'. The last 117 (er, now thei'r 119) worm requests on my machine, starting 5 hours ago, were all except one of the 'X' type. And all of them come from 62.2.x.x (well, I'm on this subnet, too). Seems like someone wanting to kill this internet providers clients has rewritten the worm to attack all ip's in this subrange (instead of the semirandom ip's it used to select before). no fun for windows users christian.
ppp not working after upgrade to testing(solved)
Hi, Re my earlier post when I said I could not connect to the internet even though a PPP session had started, I have managed to solve the problem. (Of my own making I might add) so I will share this for future Users. Whilst doing a dist-upgrade you are asked a question regarding what network devices you have. The first time I answered this I correctly entered ppp only, but this is not the default. the script seemed to hang after this so on re-attempting I foolishly accepted the defaults. Somewhere in doing this, I managed to configure a slip device (sl0) which had taken an IP address from who knows where. After much reading about networks, I tried the 'ifconfig' command. 2 devices were listed. the loopback device, correct I believe, and the sl0 device. I took this out with 'ifconfig sl0 down' and hey presto, my ppp connection works again. I would also like to thank all those who responded to my initial email with help and advice, cheers guys! -- Best Regards Wayne.

A good list of what Debian installs and what it doesn't
Hey all, a Newbie here. Love Debian, but I noticed some things were not installed by default using the "simple" package install. On debian.org, some mention is made of this fact, but no detailed list of what is and isn't. For instance, telnetd and ftpd were nonexistent after install (I know, I know, I'm trying to install SSH as we speak). Anyone know of a good place to find a list of what Potato leaves out?

worse, when i turned on normal text-format logging, i saw this:

this is with a custom log format of
LogFormat "%{Host}i %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\"

so i'm getting "Host: www.worm.com" as an incoming header (which,
trust me, is NOT a domain pointing to my server).
comments? can i panic now?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #57 from Steve Kowalik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Wondering HOW TO SET YOUR TIME ZONE? Your system clock may be
showing UTC or GMT but you want it to display PDT (or whatever).
Just run "tzconfig" as root. (You're sure to have it on your
debian system already -- it's provided in package "libc6".)

Sawfish blocking X, by missing sound, where to init it?
Hello again! yesterday i managed t solve the sawfish problem: with missing audio the startup takes ages... but now i have the problem, that before i enter my session, somehow a modprobe sound and an esd & has to be achieved which would be the best places to start those? and could i possibly start the esd at boot time by root? -- ciao bboett == [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://inforezo.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett http://erm1.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett === the total amount of intelligence on earth is constant. human population is growing

That is an extremely vague problem description, which makes it nearly impossible to help you. What program are you trying to install or run? Is it a binary? If so, Does it come from a Debian package, or is it a binary you downloaded from the net? What are the exact error messages you get? What output do "file" and "ldd" give on the binary? If not, where can the source be found? How are you trying to build it, and what are the exact error messages you get?

But...the history repeats. And I installed >everything in the Debian after I donwloaded from the internet. That's plain impossible. There are quite a few Debian packages which cannot be installed simultaneously on one system (and they properly declare this using "Conflicts:") so there is simply no way in which anyone can install everything in Debian.

After a lot of experimenting I ditched the deb version, fetched the tarball version from the dosemu site, and installed it in /usr/local rather than in $HOME as suggested in the docs.

Re: [OT] Network speed ... again
Hello, On Fri, 3 Aug 2001, Hall Stevenson wrote: > rated at 100mb/s (or is it mB/s ??). All network cards are also rated Sorry, I only pick out this line. According to the SI, 'm' stands for 'mini' or 'mili', so 'mb' stands for milibits, 1/10 of a bit. So a megabit is 'Mb', 'MB' for megabyte. And no, 'KB' is not a kilobyte but a noting meaning 'Kelvin byte', so use 'kB' instead. Officially (according to SI (systeme international), a kilobyte is only 1000 bytes, while in the computer world it is 1024. Therefore, 1024 Bytes == 1 kikiByte. But because this is seldom used, remember this: when it is about bits and bytes, a kilo = 1024, a Mega = 1024*1024, etc. Hopefully this will make things clear (even my telephone company make these mistakes: they have never used bits, but then suddenly, with the introduction of ADSL, bits are back, with only some geeks or physisist who know how to use it).

ASCII is a standard that converts data stored by the computer into text. Both UNIX and windows use ASCII for text files. Both UNIX and windows use binary for program files (executables, libraries, etc.) There is a difference between UNIX and windows text files, and that is what they use as their line end character(s). Windows uses the two characters "carridge return" and "line feed", which can be abbreviated as "crlf". Also note that you will find "carridge return" as "\r" and "line feed" as "\n" all over the place in UNIX. run "man ascii" for details. Also go over to www.linuxdoc.org and read all of the intro pages. Mike
font "fixed" missing
hi, I was seting up Xwindow when the following problem occured. Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' search on google showed that i didn't have the package xfonts-base. that solved the problem. I was wondering as how I could find out which package had this rather than search the archives and get the answer regards harsha

Download from Network
HI, I am trying to download DEBIAN WOODY from the debian.org site. I have the Woody Debian Install system up and running, and my network is up. From the dbootstrap install system, I can ping sites on the internet So I tell dbootstrap to install the base system from the network, and it goes to the debian web site http://http.us.debian.org:80/debian and fails with the message, Malformed release file at debian/dists/woody/Release So question 1,can the base system be installed with the minimal install system over the network? If yes, how do I get dbootstrap to do it, or where is the detailed information of how to configure dbootstrap. Thanks, Wes [EMAIL PROTECTED]
