Disablin IPv6 in Debian sarge with Kernel 2.6.7
Hello, just to document how I disabled IPv6: - changing /etc/modutils/aliases or /etc/modules.conf did NOT work (found in Google) - adding alias net-pf-10 to a fresh /etc/modprobe.conf (didn't exist on my system) DID work I tried to deconfigure the IPv6 addresses at runtime and remove the ipv6 module, but I failed (device or resource busy)... which was quite annoying because I had to reboot...

ext3 on Debian woody
[Please CC me in replies, as I'm not currently subscribed to debian-user] Hi, I just successfully did the following: 1.) add ext3 to /etc/mkinitrd/modules 2.) mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.4.17+ext3-686 /lib/modules/2.4.17-686/ 3.) in /etc/lilo.conf set initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.17+ext3-686 4.) tune2fs -j device for all filesystems to create journals 5.) edit /etc/fstab replacing ext2 with ext3 Unfortunately, this means that I have to recreate my initrd everytime a new kernel package is to be installed. What do you think about enabling ext3 support in the standard kernels by default? I'm not talking about switching the default fs type already to ext3, but to change the initrd for the stock kernel packages. ext3 is already in there as a module, it just has to be enabled. Another thing I noticed: After rebooting, / was mounted ro as ext2 (!) and fsck'd. Maybe we should also fix that, so that the journal is really used also for the root fs. If I'm too complicated and there's easier, documented, working solutions, please enlighten me :-) Alex PS: Couldn't find anything on the list archives, only things I found were google::+debian +ext3 -- Forgive me, but I'm talking to a politician.

Are you sure about this? ext2 is also a module in the latest stock kernels, have a closer look at the /boot/config.x.y! I was surprised by this myself. The modules have to reside in the initrd and they have to be loaded, but it works, even with modules! I'm using Debian woody with ext3 for / and /boot, too. Perhaps you may have forgotten to edit your /etc/fstab to match the changed filesystems Re-read my mail, I did change the fstab. Maybe the defaults entry messes things up?

When you use make-kpkg to create your kernel_image just add --initrd as a make-kpkg option . I know that I can do this, but it would however be nicer to have ext3 also in the stock kernels. Change lilo.conf so the line reads 'initrd=/initrd.img' then when you run 'dpkg --install kernel-image?.deb' it should all be done automatically. Thanks, already knew that.

Samba printing problem after upgrade slink-potato
Hi, I just upgraded our office fileserver to potato, running samba 2.0.7-2, lprng 3.6.12-6 and an HP LaserJet 4050 TN connected to the LAN. Everything worked fine until the upgrade from slink to potato. The following (very) weird thing happens now: - when I lpr a file from the Linux box directly (eg /etc/passwd), it prints correctly (- LAN OK, Printer OK) - when I rlpr the same file to our Win2k server (sorry, yes, we have one), it prints, too (- LAN OK, Printer OK) - when I connect to my printer share \\server\hplj4050tn using smbclient and tell it to print /etc/passwd, it does as it should (- Samba printing also OK) - I can connect to the network shares of my Samba machine. I can even install the printer correctly. (Samba ok?) - when I try to print from any of the WinXX machines in the office (no matter if NT 4 or 2000), it just doesn't print at all. It won't even appear in the Windows print spooler.

Apache SuExec won't work with virtual hosts outside /var/www
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Package: apache Version: 1.3.6-15.2 Changing the SuExec docroot from /var/www/htdocs to /var/www will enable SuExec for people without or with few virtual hosts residing below /var/www. However, on bigger systems with lots of virtual hosts, one might want to specify a directory like /home/virtualhosts/www.yourcompany.com, each one containing docs/ cgi-bin/ logs/ directories etc. SuExec won't work in such an environment because it expects all cgi programs in /var/www, and of course symlinks won't do the job. What's the point of forcing the location of cgi programs to /var/www? Shouldn't all the directories defined as ScriptAlias for each virtual host be acceppted as docroot for SuExec? I thought SuExec was intended to make cgi in a virtual host environment more secure, i.e. to run cgi scripts as a different user for each virtual host?

Using MySQL as user database
Hi! I am thinking about using mysql for administering my user database, as it will probably be quite large (expected round 1 users). I thought about the following ways to do this: 1) using normal passwd/shadow files, dumped regularly from mysql I encountered the following difficulties with this approach: a) I do not want to store clear passwords anywhere, so b) I would have to encrypt the user passwords manually when adding a user to the database 2) patching shadow so that it can use mysql for authentication I think there are even more problems with this approach, because not only shadow uses the passwd/shadow database, but the whole libc does, and I'm not sure if all my programs that need user information use the getpwent() function of the C library... So my question is: Has anyone done something like this before? What do you think is the best approach? I thought about writing a script that *) creates the user in the system with a random password that is of course sent to the printer immediately (well, at least the user should know his/her password) with all the other account info, *) creates the user in the MySQL database with no password information, but details such as account status (active, hold, delete), and a cron job that *) updates the password database regularly, that is, removes users from the database or puts a * into the passwd file according to the user status in the SQL database I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on this topic!

The newer betas are corrected in this regard. So you have to buy your Motif anyway. And apart from that it's still not even worth trying for people with standard hardware.
