IMO, grub is vastly superior to LILO. The ability to reconfigure everything at run-time is one of those features that you just can't go back from. LILO gets the job done for day-to-day work, generally, but whenever you have to reconfigure the boot loader, if you're working with a grub system, you're a much happier camper. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.digitalconsumer.org/ Protecting fair-use rights in the digital world pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Try tar. When I first got my tape drive, I tried a lot of fancy graphical backup utilities: Perfect Backup, Arkeia, and others. But like you, my needs are simple. In the end I just wrote a shell script to call tar. It's completely adequate for my needs. Remember, the most important thing a tape drive can do is to protect you in case of catastrophe, i.e. hard disk crash. In that event, you may not have X working, you may be working in a very minimal environment after booting from a rescue disk. tar will be there for you, but will you be able to run Arkeia or Amanda? While we're on the subject, consider building a custom rescue CDROM. There are several of them out there. I followed and modified the instructions at http://www.phenix.bnl.gov/~purschke/RescueCD/, with good results. With one of these you can boot your system from CD and be in a good position to call tar to get your files back. Good luck!

My fave backup method is using Star and rsync, and backing up to another hard drive. It's fast and easy, and hard drives are so cheap you can have all the redundancy you want for not a lot of money.

how to revert unstable package upgrade?
Hello debian-user, I'm running Debian unstable and I would like to revert one package upgrade that I did earlier this week. I upgraded to version 0.6.1-5 of mozilla-firebird. After some testing and attempts to do basic things with bookmarks, I've found it much too buggy (the bugs are reported; I'm not ignoring them). Ideally, I would like to go back to version 0.6.1-4. Is there somewhere where I could find the i386 .deb file for version 0.6.1-4? I tried looking in the pool at http://http.us.debian.org. I did not find a .deb for 0.6.1-4. However, I found the .diff.gz and the .dsc file for 0.6.1-4 which I thought was enough to recreate the source for that version. But despite my best efforts, the build from source failed. The exact steps I followed: 1. downloaded these files (from http://http.us.debian.org/pool/m/...) mozilla-firebird_0.6.1-4.diff.gz mozilla-firebird_0.6.1-4.dsc mozilla-firebird_0.6.1.orig.tar.gz 2. got the build depencies As root, I did/saw: # apt-get build-dep mozilla-firebird The following NEW packages will be installed: libatk1.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libidl-dev liblinc-dev liblinc1 liborbit2 liborbit2-dev libpango1.0-dev libpopt-dev sharutils 0 upgraded, 11 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. ... The 1 not upgraded is because I have libruby on hold (unrelated). I think this was using the Build-Depends from 0.6.1-5 (since that is the version shown by "apt-cache showsrc mozilla-firebird"). To double check, I looked at the 0.6.1-4.dsc file and it had the same Build-Depends, so that shouldn't be the issue. 3. extracted the source package In the directory with the three files (src package), I did/saw this: $ dpkg-source x mozilla-firebird_0.6.1-4.dsc dpkg-source: extracting mozilla-firebird in mozilla-firebird-0.6.1 4. tried to build (from mozilla-firebird-0.6.1 directory) $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b >../make.log 2>&1 It was long and it ended with errors. I can send make.log if it is interesting, but the first few lines said this: dpkg-buildpackage: source package is mozilla-firebird dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 0.6.1-4 dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Eric Dorland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386 fakeroot debian/rules clean ...

Well the problem isn't the network, so a VPN doesn't help anything. The network traffic is still encrypted. This key is used only for authentication. The danger is that if someone gets ahold of that file, they have full root access on the remote machine. Traditionally, a private key has a passphrase, so that an attacker needs both the encrypted private key file and the passphrase, especially for a key that is authorized for root. Using a forced command means that even if this key falls into untrusted hands, they can't get a root shell with it. This is really sort of a "belt and suspenders" thing. Generally, for most people, this type of security is good enough. But sometimes it's just worth doing right, for example if you're building this system on a machine with some sub-100% trusted users. If you're just talking about your home network, you're probably fine. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "As we enjoy great advantages from inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously." --Benjamin Franklin pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Prior to ITAR regulations revision,s it was legal to import, but illegal to export, strong crypto from/to the the US.

X/Gnome2.2 Keyboard/Mouse issues
A while back, I acquired a Compaq 2105us laptop. I decided to put linux on it. Just to see if everything worked, I threw in the knoppix cd, and lo and behold, all was good, so I did a hard drive based install from knoppix. Yesterday, I got sick of kde, gnome wouldn't install for some reason, so I backed up all the important stuff, trashed the partition, and installed from scratch. Everything seemed to install fine, I had kept the .config from the 2.4.21 kernel I installed on the knoppix system, so I successfully upgraded to that with the same settings that I had on the old system. I also kept the XF86Config-4 file, so using that, I am able to get X to start. I'm using XF86 version 4.2.1 (from www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/debian) and Gnome 2.2 (from debian.uni-klu.ac.at/GNOME22/) BTW. Now here's the problem(s). A. The first time you run startx, it runs fine. Once you close the session, the next time you run startx, the keyboard/mouse are locked up. This happens no matter what user is logged in, and continues until a reboot, then you can run it once again. The X logs show no difference between the two sessions (I saved and DIFF'd them to be sure). There are no extra running processes that I could see (ps -A). To close the X session, I had to ssh in from another box and do a 'chvt 1', and ctrl-c the running X - keyboard and mouse worked fine in other consoles. This could be related to... B. gdm is pretty screwed up. Fonts are too small to read, and the keyboard/mouse are always locked up if this is running. I don't have it installed at the moment. xdm did the same thing. Any ideas? I don't think this is an X problem, as if it were, I think it would be consistant and not work the first time. Just in case though, my XF86Config is below. When I was using the knoppix install, X/KDE worked just fine, so it must be a gnome thing somewhere...

Question on make-kpkg
I've been using make-kpkg to build my new kernel,playing around with 2.6.0-test2. (aside: Thanks to all who responded to my earlier request for help.I've got a bootable 2.6.0-test built, but now I need to play with the config a bit and figure out what's causing some of the errors during boot; at least it hasn't crashed in about 24 hrs so far, though). Anyway, as I play with the config parameters, I'd like to be able to create kernel packages with different names to help keep track of what's what. This is helpful by labelling packages with the build date, and also with some info, esp as I will eventually build a package for a different architecture as well (I'm going to swap my MSI motherboard/Athlon process for a new ASUS MB and P4, and I'd like to prebuild the kernel and have it ready to boot). Anyway, I started out by using: fakeroot make-kpkg append-to-version=.20030915 kernel_image because I first did the build on 9/15. Now, if I try to issue fakeroot make-kpkg append-to-version=.20030917 kernel_image, I get an error message telling me that the changelog wants to build vmlinuz-2.6.0-test2.20030915 "but I thought I was building vmlinuz-2.6.0-test2.20030917" I was expecting that I could keep using make-kpkg in a given linux source tree and change the append-to-version on each build, but obviously I don't understand something important about make-kpkg. The man page isn't really helping me out here. Can anyone shed some light? THanks. nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For a comparison point -- SGI was involved in NSort, a project / high-end data sorting system which attained a throughput capable of sorting 1 terrabyte of data in 2.5 hours, in 1997: http://www.ordinal.com/white/whitepaper.html It attained this performance through several means: - 32 processors. - 8 GiB main memory. - 559 4 GiB disks, arrayed as 1 system disk, a single 280 disk XLV volume, and 278 temporary disks. - A large number of independent controller channels (I remember this from prior research of the topic, can't find a cite now). The values attained are modest by today's standards, but the principles are sound: spread your head movements over as many spindles as possible, keep your channels clean, and use gobs of memory.

Re: grub/lilo question
If you mean how well they (e.g., grub and ext2) work together, any combination of these should work harmoniously. If you have a seperate /boot partition though, it will need to be ~64 mb to use Ext/3. (This extra space is taken up by the journal file.) If, on the other hand, you mean how are they individually, then I would first say that the choice between grub & lilo is mostly arbitrary. On a modern computer, either should work well; lilo has easier configuration syntax, but grub is much more advanced. As far as the filesystems are concerned, nowadays it is very clear-cut. As Ext/3 has matured a great deal since it was released, my opinion is that it is entirely superior to Ext/2 at least. The journalling capabilities greatly increase speed and reliability in many cases. I personally use SGI's XFS, but Ext/3 is a good choice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks. koules probably uses KDE's sound server, which might be properly configured to interact with the ALSA sound system. cdplay is probably just "playing" your cdrom drive (making the drive spin) and not passing the digital output to the soundcard. xmms is probably using the OSS driver, and you need to enable the OSS emulation for ALSA.

Weird network behaviour - can anyone explain it?
We have a machine whose network configuration is in some way wrong, but I don't know how. When it boots, the network is configured correctly, according to ifconfig, but it takes forever for things (a deliberately vague word) to be processed. Then it seems to handle a number of requests all at once and goes back to sleep for a while.

Installing Debian with no CD drive and only USB dsl modem.
Hi, Im trrying hard to install Debian. I have no CDROM drive. And my connection to the internet is through a USB dsl modem, which makes the net install extremely difficult, if not impossible. I have tried a hard disk install by mounting the ISO image, but the debian installer refuses to install from it. So now i am looking for ways to do a Net install with the USB dsl modem. I have got the base system installed already, with the floppy disks. I used the special kernel image that has support for USB devices. However, it doesn't seem to support VIA USB controllers, So ofcourse the modem will not work. I know the USB modem can work under linux, because I have used it under Slackware. I have a kernel image that I got from the peanut linux install files. They use this kernel in a very similair way to how debian does, with a 'ram.bat' file and the initrd line. I know the peanut kernel supports my USB setup, so i tried to replace linux.bin with that. However, I get "invalid compressed format error". Back to square one. Any help in getting out of this mess and installing Debian would be appreciated, thanks. p.s: No, I don't know anyone who can lend me a CD drive.

Digging around, I also have a kinit (and klist, but not kdestroy) alternative, but /usr/bin/kinit from krb5-user. Using Blackdown j2se1.4 mirrored from metalab.unc.edu.

In the ancient days, you asked the KDC for a TGT, and it handed you back a TGT encrypted in your password; kinit then took the password you typed in, tried to decrypt it, and if you succeeded, you were done. But this enabled an attack where you asked for a TGT, got back something encrypted, knew more-or-less what the result should look like, and could do an offline dictionary attack. So now there's an encrypted exchange where you give your password to the KDC, it checks that the password is correct, and *then* gives you the encrypted TGT; the "validate password first" step is the pre-authentication. > If I typed the correct I did actually get a TGT, at least the "fake" > klist reported so.

That's what's for. I won't use this package as the current "valgrind" package (at least not for the moment because of the time) that's why I said it was not "official".

Actually cdrecord is not involved as it does not support dvd+rw. growisofs launches mkisofs and uses dd somehow to send the data to the drive. I have just discovered that you can do 'growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=/dev/fd/0' and pipe the mkisofs output into it though, so the same idea applies. I think I'll give that a shot as I don't think that buffer underruns are the source of my problem. Thanks, Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Open "bounce" relay in Exim 3.35
I set up an extra machine to relay mail to another machine (as an MX backup) using relay_domains. The problem is that the relaying machine accepts the mail for the domain regardless of the local part. But if the localpart doesn't exist on the final machine then the mail is bounced back to the envelope sender. If the envelope sender is fake and rejected then the mail is frozen. But it also provides a way to send mail (in the form of a bounce) to a third party. In other words, someone could send mail to a fake address at my backup MX, and use the Mail From: address the real intended recipient. They would get a bounce, but their message would also be attached. Short of not running the secondary MX is there a way to prevent this? Can I get exim on the secondary to verify the address on the primary MX before accepting the mail? (And if so, what would happen if the primary MX was down for a period of time?)

After a check at my home lan where it worked, of course, I followed up what kinit I was using at work, where I discovered the problem: ~$ type -all kinit kinit is /usr/bin/kinit ~$ ls -l /usr/bin/kinit lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 23 Sep 16 14:43 /usr/bin/kinit -> /etc/alternatives/kinit ~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/kinit lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 27 Sep 16 14:44 /etc/alternatives/kinit -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/bin/kinit !!! On a correctly configured debian box with krb5-user, the /usr/bin/kinit is a file, not a link! And the test you suggested makes one think everything is ok, although it should normally sort it out: ~$ dpkg -S `which kinit` krb5-user: /usr/bin/kinit The problem seems to be caused by the thing I did yesterday. For the first time ever, I installed an unofficial deb, the j2sdk1.4 compiled with gcc-3.2, downloaded from jrfonseca.dyndns.org/debian. Found the link on apt-get.org. I didn't exactly read every line of the install progress, but there were no flashing signs of it overwriting my krb5-user files, kinit and klist! Yes the other file is also exchanged. There may be more, I haven't checked yet. I'm really upset by this happening silently... Interesting thing though, the java stuff worked with mozilla as I expected. Now should I consider the whole machine tainted, or is this only a bug? As a note: I use the krb5-xxx official packages at version 1.3, and they normally works lika charm. With the "fake" kinit, when I write an incorrect password or none at all, the output looks like the following: (obviously incorrect password is here sdklakjfd) ~$ kinit Password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:sdklakjfd Exception: krb_error 24 Pre-authentication information was invalid (24) - PREAUTH_FAILED Pre-authentication information was invalid KrbException: Pre-authentication information was invalid (24) - PREAUTH_FAILED at sun.security.krb5.KrbAsRep.(DashoA6275:65) at sun.security.krb5.KrbAsReq.getReply(DashoA6275:308) at sun.security.krb5.KrbAsReq.getReply(DashoA6275:271) at sun.security.krb5.internal.tools.Kinit.(DashoA6275:264) at sun.security.krb5.internal.tools.Kinit.main(DashoA6275:104) Caused by: KrbException: Identifier doesn't match expected value (906) at sun.security.krb5.internal.af.a(DashoA6275:129) at sun.security.krb5.internal.au.a(DashoA6275:58) at sun.security.krb5.internal.au.(DashoA6275:53) at sun.security.krb5.KrbAsRep.(DashoA6275:48) ... 4 more If I typed the correct I did actually get a TGT, at least the "fake" klist reported so.
