Have a look at RETRY CONFIGURATION in /etc/exim/exim.conf. I think you can make things work like you want there. However maybe it's a little bit dangerous to have homepc not give up on a message. Will you ever notice a problem with your email configuration if homepc blindly keeps polling your smart host? Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

10 based eepro acting weird
Having a funny one here: The eepro card stops functioning, for hours on end. Then suddenly it would start responding again. In the logfile, just before it stopped functioning: Sep 11 09:21:43 buzzer kernel: eth0: XMT status = 0x8841 And then before it started responding: Sep 12 04:08:03 buzzer kernel: eth0: set Rx mode to 1 address. Netsaint is telling me it has been up for 4 hours now. Yesterday it stopped working while I was ssh'ing into the PC, and I think it has something to do with that. HTTP is fine (but it is a very low load PC). I've talked with someone on IRC, and he says he's dmesg says something about a work-around being enabled for this card. I have the stock 2.4.18 on that PC, it's an old Pentium.

Is that shared library available in Woody? How about testing or unstable?

using two exims for dialup, was Re: Using exim efficiently on a dialup machine
Seeing as there are some people around here that seem to understand
exim, I thought that I'd try and sort out an answer to something at
home.
I have a simple network like this:
|
| dialup
|dially|-|homepc|
LAN
I have dially running ppp, in the 'dial-on-demand' mode. Most of the
time I leave dially turned off (as most of the time I don't want to
be connected, I only have one phone line). I do all my work on homepc.
I can see that it is possible to fire up an exim process on dialup,
and to unthaw the message queue.
Is it possible to configure exim on homepc to use dially as a smart
relay, and to continually poll dially (say every 5 minutes) to try
and deliver email? It could be almost a week between times that
dially actually dials up (or is even turned on). I don't want the
exim on homepc freezing emails if it can't send them out though.
Cheers
Geoff Crompton

What I have done in the past is do just like you said: change your sources.list to "testing", do the apt-get update, and then wait.

Enabling support for oracle requires access to the oracle libraries at compile-time and run-time. And understandably, Debian does not want that software on their autobuilders. The oracle licens does not allow you to re-distrubute them either (I'm pretty sure, but IANAL). However, if you have a copy of Oracle8 lying around (might work with 7 and 9 too, haven't tried), then enabling oracle support is as simple: - remove "--without-oracle" in the call to configure in debian/rules - Make sure that $ORACLE_HOME is set - fakeroot debian/rules binary and you have a deb that supports oracle. I'm not sure how much of the Oracle stuff it pulls in at compile-time; I would not assume that you're allowed to redistribute the result. -- Karl E.

I'm not having a lot of luck with 2.4.18. Suggestions? Thanks, Jim. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Consequences of package hold
I had to compile a package for my situation. As far as I can tell I followed the guidelines described in the official(?) documents. My sources.list contains entries for deb and deb-src for stable, testing and unstable. By way of apt.conf I use stable as Default-Release. I believe the source package I compiled comes from unstable. Why? I did an apt-get upgrade -s today and saw security updates for Python and a new version in unstable for said package. I looked around in the Apt documentation. I tried to pin the package but that didn't work (need to study those docs a bit harder). Anyway then I saw I could also hold the package by means of dpkg --get and --set-selections. This works. I now see a message of the package being held back. However what happens when a security update becomes available for the package I compiled? I would like to know about that. Will I also get the generic message or will I be alerted of the new situation? So in short, I need a custom compiled version of a package. I think I ended up with a source package from unstable. I don't want to track unstable for this package. I held the package by means of dpkg. I would like to know and install (or recompile) in case of a critical update. Should I try to get pinning to work for this package or is my current method the only way? Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I can get it to work, but it is not a pretty method and not terribly efficient (and it has to be done each time the computer reboots). The module is es1371 (or possibly es1370). I've tried loading it with io and irq specifications, but it is still not enough. I also have the sound and soundcore modules set to load. Here's what happens when I boot: -no mention of loading the module(s) in the boot messages, despite it being in /etc/modules with the correct io and irq parameters -when starting Gnome or KDE, off in the background (if you switch to one of the other virtual consols) I see the following message repeated: Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 sb: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones... sb: dsp reset failed At this stage, apps like XMMS complain about the sound card. Not only that, the directory /var/log/ksymoops starts filling up quite quickly with files with .ksyms and .modules extensions - I've filled up my /var partition a few times because of this, forcing me to clean out that directory. Through trial and error, I've figured out how to stop this - by running sndconfig. The problem there is that the configuration fails, but it does stop the previous problems of the infinite messages and the infinite files in /var/log/ksymoops. I used to then try a manual configuration in sndconfig, but that just fails as well and restarts the problem, so I now just exit once the automatic config fails. But after that, everything seems to work, even though, as I said, sndconfig failed to actually configure anything. That is just plain wierd as far as I'm concerned...

hi jamin...
all i had to do was do a double-take on my script and i figured it out.
right at the beginning, i totally missed this:
IPADDR=`/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 | grep "inet addr" | awk -F":" '{print$2}' |
awk '{print $1)' `
there's my missing variable... i only get a small self-inflicted DUH this
time because i actually figured it out... LOL...
it works fine with the above ipmasqadm statement:
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L $IPADDR 4000 -R 192.168.1.11 4000
anyway, i'm still fairly new to linux... and damn there's so much to
learn... but i love it...
thanks for the quick reply anyway

hi, i am trying to print two separate 1-page ps files so that they appear both at 50% side-by-side on one page. just concatenating the files doesn't work cat file1.ps file2.ps | a2ps -o- | gv - only displays the first page. the "insert 'false 0 startjob pop' between the files in the concatenation" variation didn't work either. psmerge from the psutils package, when invoked like so: psmerge -o- file1.ps file2.ps | a2ps -o- | gv - results in an empty page. the method at http://ktmatu.com/info/merge-pdf-files/ works, but it's cumbersome[1]. any clues on how i can do this for a bulk operation? [1] actually, it's interesting because it links the original files, rendering it into a general purpose program almost if you could somehow pass the two parameters of the to-be-linked file in with the command invocation. is this possible somehow? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck "i have smoked pot. it is a stupid business, like masturbation." -- thomas pynchon (v) msg01843/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

For the ability to switch environments and window managers you'll probably want to stay away from XDM. I'd suggest WDM (light, but has the features for switching WM) and modify the /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers file with something like the following: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt8 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp :1 This will start up two X sessions for you.

ipmasqadm and firewall stuff
ok... so, i have this nice new firewall script that's auto-executed whenever i start rp-pppoe... i'm connecting using ADSL, so ppp0 is different every time i connect (which isn't very frequent unless something goes whacky on the ISP's side). so, here's the deal... i have a nice ipmasqadm part that forwards ICQ stuff for me: ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 4.x.x.x 4000 -R 192.168.1.11 4000 now then... i had to manually put in my $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE (the 4.x.x.x) because for some reason, ipmasqadm won't accept the variable. i would like the ipmasqadm to work with the variable for ppp0 ($EXTERNAL_INTERFACE)... rather than manually typing in the dang external ip and re-running the script just so i can use ICQ. any idears? thanks!!! -jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've done it once, but don't remember the details and don't have a Debian machine in front of me to figure it out. However, ssh'ing to a Deb box and looking around, here's a couple of ideas: If you're running KDM, look in /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc; I vaguely remember some comments in there about starting KDM on more than one window. There's a configuration tool for GDM in Gnome, I believe, which might allow you to set this option. If you're running WDM, the file /etc//X11/wdm/Xservers looks like what you want. Of course, I find it easier in my case just to start the first session of X however I normallly do, and then to Ctrl-Alt-F1, login, and run "startx -- :[num]", where [num] is the number of the display on which I want to start X. If I want to have a different wm for that session, I'll first edit .xinitrc and .xsession (because I never remember which file takes affect when) to have my wm of choice as the only uncommented line in it.

I don't have PHP installed at all on this box, and it seems to be working. I guess, rereading my message, I really wasn't clear what the problem was. Not enough (coffee | sleep) and too much time in my head. Let me start over. If I choose to install sqwebmail non-SUID root (my preferred solution), I get the above error. If I do install it SUID root, then it works, but under foo.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail. What I have set up currently is this: I have a domain, let's say foo.com. DNS points to 2 boxes, www.foo.com and mail.foo.com, each with their own static IP. www.foo.com displays a main webpage and users pages as it should. (Yaay - I really don't know apache well, so this was a small triumph). I would like it if I could go to mail.foo.com, and be presented with a login page, which I think would mean setting up the DocumentRoot to be /path/to/sqwebmail, although this has so far failed. I basically would like this because there are no other virtual domains on this server, and it is serving a fairly small user base. I suppose I could just set up index.html in the DocumentRoot to redirect to cgi-bin/sqwebmail, but this feels clumsy. As all the users are friends of mine, is there a way to not install sqwebmail SUID root (they can just ask me to change their passwords, rather than having a potential security hole) and have the DocumentRoot work as described above?

I have a dual boot (WinXP\Debian) and until last sounds like a hardware problem. maybe ide controller, maybe your trying to force DMA mode on a controller/disk that is not very good at DMA(at least under linux).

Maybe the cable is going bad, maybe the cable is too long(IDE spec requires cables to be 18"). but the hda lost interrupt would tell me its either a driver or a hardware issue, most likely hardware .. Abit BP6 has a history of bad problems(I was the unfortunate owner of one for over a year and spent that year trying to make it stable some revs are bad others are not so bad), though I am not certain of any specific problems related to the IDE controller.

2.4.18 doesn't find my root device.
Simple description: 2.4.18 kernel panics and says it can't find the root device on 03:06. 2.2.19 finds it fine. I had a root=/dev/hda6 on the loadlin line, and it failed, so I took it off. Rdev of the kernel also says root on /dev/hda6. Background: I upgraded to woody and found that my cdrom no longer worked. I figured something had broken the modules but recompiling and depmod and modprobe didn't seem to fix the problem. lsmod showed everything OK, but it still didn't work. I'm running a ide-scsi setup since this is a writer. So I decided to upgrade the kernel to 2.4.18. I got the kernel-source-2.4.18 via apt-get. Unbziped it. Copied my .config from 2.2.19 to 2.4.18 and did a make oldconfig. I pretty much answered all the questions as no, which was default. This is a 600 Mhz celeron system. Plain Jane. Did the make dep, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install. Copied the bzImage to the DOS C: drive, modified a dos script to use loadlin to boot and rebooted. It looks like maybe there is a dump first thing, but the boot process rushes by so fast I really can't tell. Anyway somewere down the line, it fails telling me it can't find a root device on 03:06. The first time it said something about not finding anything on hda6. The loadlin command is identical to the one I use for 2.2.19. Is there something else going on that I'm not aware of? I saw a warning about using initrd, whatever that is in my browsing the web. Does that have anything to do with it? I've got another system that I attempted to compile 2.4.18 on. Similar setup. Upgraded to woody, apt-get the kernel source. Compiled, installed, rebooted with loadlin and it gets through spitting out the . line, blanks the screen and reboots. I'm not having a lot of luck with 2.4.18. Suggestions? Thanks, Jim. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Local address lookup
I seem to have a DNS problem indeed. When I run tcpdump in an X window on jupiter and call telnet saturn in another window, I get a lot of packets beginning with 19:35:30.080780 jupiter.my.home.1024 > ns1.myisp.nl.domain: 19522+ ? saturn. (23) 19:35:30.081839 jupiter.my.home.1025 > ns1.myisp.nl.domain: 17118+ PTR? 34.1.121.195.in-addr.arpa. (43) 19:35:30.107275 ns1.myisp.nl.domain > jupiter.my.home.1024: 19522 NXDomain 0/1/0 (98) (DF) So a private telnet to an entirely local computer involves my ISP's name server (ns1.myisp.nl), i.e. the outside world. I do not like this at all. It is in fact pretty frightening. I had supposed that "order hosts,bind" in /etc/host.conf would keep local address lookups local, but apparently it does not. Maybe there is some connection with xinetd as Nate suggested. In the past I had an xinetd directly from xinetd.org, not "linked with libwrap". Now I have a stock Woody xinetd. And I am pretty certain (but cannot prove it of course) that my telnet delay problem is fairly recent. Am going to experiment (with compiling xinetd from source, without libwrap), will report .. BTW, (in response to Mike Kuhar), in nsswitch.conf I had the proper order (hosts: files dns) all along. regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
