Bind problems -- Won't look reverse lookup local IPs
I'm having problems with bind. All of a sudden it won't look up my local ip addresses (209.83.245.201-206). It will look up everything else, including the hosts of the ips. This is making my dns not resolve correctly on irc and such... Also, I can't figure out how to make it a ns that does more than cache. I read the docs explaining how to add to named.boot, but they say that it's deprecated. Also, even if I do add to that, it doesn't work. dlint gives me: WARNING: nameserver ns42.warped-reality.com. is not responding properly to queries; skipping.

Technical aspects that make Linux better than NT -- Is a list compiled somewhere?
Is there a list somewhere that's compiled about technical reasons that Linux is better than NT? I'm interested as far as having good reasons to quickly list off to NT hacks. Not a matter of convincing _me_ -- just them. I'd appreciate either a url of somewhere that has a bunch of reasons or just a bunch of reasons. Either way.

Exim Not delivering to Local users from aliases
Ok... I've looked through the documentation and stuff before asking this one. I'm having a problem now where my aliases work except that they won't let me have an alias to a local name. Ie: lordwurm: ahaig or [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ahaig Neither work (each in its own place -- either the aliases.global file or the aliases.virtual which are set up to handle global or virtual aliases respsectively). The error that it gives in /var/log/exim/mainlog is that the domain is not included. If it wants me to include a domain for an alias, how do I have mail delivered to a POP account on the same machine? == | Asher Haig[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Pager/Voice Mail (972) 328-9247 | == It was like a visit by Don Carleone.

Exim aliases using local-part only when set to use domain
OK... This is getting somewhat frustrating. I'm having a problem now
where all mail being delivered goes to the local-part. If it doesn't
exist, it returns the error, such as:
A message that you sent could not be delivered to all of its recipients.
The
following address(es) failed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
unknown local-part lou in domain showtrucks.com
The rules that I have set up right now are as follows:
global_default:
driver=smartuser,
domains=lsearch;/etc/exim/domains.virtual;
new_address=${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/exim/aliases.global} {$value}
fail};
virtual_specific:
driver=smartuser,
domains=partial-lsearch;/etc/exim/aliases.virtual;
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/etc/exim/aliases.virtual}
{$value} fail};
virtual_default:
driver=smartuser,
domains=partial-lsearch;/etc/exim/aliases.virtual;
new_address=${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/exim/aliases.virtual}
{$value} fail};
real_local:
prefix = real-
driver = localuser
transport = local_delivery
system_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
file = /etc/aliases,
search_type = lsearch
Moving real_local to the top or otherwise hasn't seemed to do anything.
Forwarding seems to work if the local-part exists, except that it
forwards _to_ the local part.
Just to make it clear, if i have chaosinc as a local user and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] as an alias, and I send
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], chaosinc gets it in the local box.
I haven't been able to figure out what the problem might be. Any insight
is appreciated.

Exim Aliases With Domains
I just installed Exim to replace sendmail. I'm trying to set up the alias file now so that I can have domain-dependant aliases (ie, two ahaigs depending on which domain it's sent to). I set include_domain to true in /etc/aliases (When I tried setting it in /etc/exim.conf it complained about it being invalid). It didn't complain in any way, but it didn't seem to work either. Sending mail resulted in the mail going to the first alias listed, ignoring the domain. What do I have to do in order to have this work? == | Asher Haig[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Pager/Voice Mail (972) 328-9247 | == It was like a visit by Don Carleone.

Re: Exim Aliases With Domains
George Bonser, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 8/23/98 3:32 PM Maybe I am a bit slow today ... what exactly are you trying to do? If the mail is addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it goes into the account for user but if it is addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it goes to the mailbox for otheruser? That is easy enough to do if you treat domain2 as a virtual domain. Is this what you are trying to do? Yeah that's what I'm trying to do. I want it to evaluate not just user but also domainX Right now I have warped-reality.com and plastered.net on the same box. I want to do specific addresses for each.

Re: Exim Aliases With Domains
George Bonser, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 8/23/98 3:52 PM Just add a line under the driver = aliasfile; that looks like this: include_domain = true, Note the comma! Now you will need to include the domain for EACH alias! In other words: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: billy [EMAIL PROTECTED]: bobby An alias like: postmaster:susie Will never be matched if you set include_domain.

Re: new to networking question
Shaleh, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 8/12/98 11:33 PM Hi, I just bought a network in a box kit: hub, two 10/100 ethernet cards, cable. Could someone please point me to FAQs, HOWTOs etc. for getting machines connected and using one box w/ ppp so all have net access. Also it is a sohoware kit, has anyone had good/bad/indifferent luck w/ their hardware. I can still take it back. Thanks, I am still getting accustomed to Linux networking. Never set oe up from scratch by myself. (Which is why I am doing it). Install all the cards and such, compile the modules, get ethernet working on all the machines. Then set up ppp on one machine. Compile IPMASQ and IPForwarding support in modules or in the kernel. Set up forwarding rules for each internal ip, such as: ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.0.0.2/32 -D 0.0.0.0/0 ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.0.0.3/32 -D 0.0.0.0/0 ipfwadm -F -p deny I put them in a file, such as /usr/bin/startipmasq. (This is on the ppp machine). Set up networking on the other machines (/etc/init.d/network) so that it uses the ppp machine as a gateway. 10.0.0.* and 192.168.1.* both work as internal-only IP ranges. You may also want to get midentd which allows you to set up ident to work through ipmasq. == | Asher Haig[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Pager/Voice Mail (972) 328-9247 | == It was like a visit by Don Carleone.

Re: laptop install help
I've got a Megahertz PCMCIA 14.4 fax/modem card that was recognized as com2 by the win311 software that came with the laptop. There were no cua? devices in /dev so I made cua0 and cua1 using the MAKEDEV script, made a /dev/modem symlink from cua1, but the pon command still dies on me. You may need to add the inittab entries for a serial device. Not sure as far as that goes. I copied minicom off another machine and tried it, and haven't gotten it to recognize the modem, so I figure there must be something else to it - do I also have to install some PCMCIA software, maybe a module? PCMCIA comes in the form of a module. It's generally best to get the source package and use that to recompile and install them whenever you recomile a kernel. The easiest way to get it set up to begin with is to use the hamm install disks and install the pcmcia modules as you install debian. Otherwise, you'll need to put them on a floppy and copy them over and install them. They're in teh pcmcia-cs package. --Asher Haig [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

X -- xinit dies but the server alone will run?
Ok.. this problem seems kinda strange to me, maybe one of you guys can explain it. I'm running (well -- trying) Accelerated X laptop edition. Those of you who know about X, please don't stop reading there -- I don't think the problem is AccelX specific. When I try to run startx, X begins to start, the server starts loading and I see the startup screen, and then it dies as if it'd been shut down. No error messages are created (see bottom of mail for log). I narrowed the problem down to what seems to be xinit -- when I do xinit (which startx does) on its own, the same thing happens. The strange part comes in in that when I run the server on its own (X :0) and then do DISPLAY=localhost:0.0;afterstep it works (albeit not completely). Looking at xinit's man page, it appears to me that xinit is essentially doing the same thing I can do manually. This problem starts when I upgraded to hamm. I upgraded all of the X packages and then reinstalled AccelX just to make sure -- still the same problem. Computer specifics: This is a Dell LM166mmx with a Neomagic 128xv+ card. 2.0.33 kernel on hamm. Idiots at XIG won't give me support until hamm is an official release.

Re: Linux on top of win95
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 2/17/98 7:47 PM I know Linux can be installed ontop of a dos partition. Can it be installed on top of Win 95 or NT. I need to know this because although I run linux at home my office is NT and 95. I would like to be able to boot to linux in the office in order to work on some of my personal projects when I have free time at lunch or after work. How safe is this way of running Debian? Is there any chance of it damaging either my office computer or the network. (The network is currently 2 base t, but will be upgraded to 10 base t) My boss absolutely refuses to allow me run linux as a normal part of the network. Lets be frank, I want to run linux during lunch and after work. But I do not want to lose my job. Can I do it? How? Thank You If you set up LILO when you install it, and then tell LILO how to find the Windows partition, you can easily do a dual boot. Superior to doing UMS partitions.

Re: Why is debian more of a learning curve than Redhat???
Tyson Dowd, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 1/24/98 11:43 PM Perhaps you could explain why you think the Mac/Win UI is better? Is it just prettier, or is there some way in which it is a better interface for doing the job? As far as I can see (the Windows installer) just covers your screen, tells you to kill all your other processes, shows you some cryptic disk space graphs (and some crappy graphics) as it copies files, gives you nice next buttons, then offers to reboot for you. Debian wouldn't need the reboot, the warnings, or the useless graphs. Perhaps the next buttons could stay. The mac makes it clear as to exactly what is being installed -- that's the biggest difference. It tells you what's happening. dpkg is better for doing stuff en masse and certain other things, but the mac is certainly easier, mainly because of presentation. But if Windows were to allow you to install 27 packages at once, offered to download them, informed you of dependencies at the same time, and warned you if removing a package would cause trouble with other packages, you could be certain the windows installer/uninstaller would have more complex dialogs as well. In this way, the mac/windows is worse. Windows worse than the mac. dpkg is still intimidating to new users.

X(init?) problems post-hamm installed. (Using Accelx, although seems irrelevant)
I have Laptop-Accelx that I'm running on a Dell p166 with a neomagic 128ZV video card. I'm having the problem where when I run startx it beings to load and immediately quits. It doesn't seem as if it's quitting, rather than exiting as if it were killed -- there are no errors generated. When I just run accelx directly it works fine (ie loads the server etc. and sits on the blank screen with a default grid background). It appears that the problem is in xinit, as when I simply run xinit it does the exact same thing. The problem began after hamm upgrade. As far as I can see, I've upgraded all necessary packages. I assume xinit would be in xbase Anyone had any experience with this and might know what's wrong?

Backwards compatibility compiling
I'm trying to compile various things that want to use older libs -- whether it's trying to link to stuff that wants libc5 or older versions of tcl. I have the older versions installed as well with the alt-dev. What do I need to do to compile with these? Seems like it should be simple, but I can't find anything about how to do it.

Networking loading on boot before PCMCIA services for network card
I have a problem when my system boots where networking loads before the PCMCIA services that are needed to drive the network card. As a result, I have to run /etc/init.d/network whenever I boot before networking will work. Anyone have any idea why this might happen? The proper rc.* files are all there, as far as I can tell TIA --Asher -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: misc questions: screen, version notation
G. Crimp, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 1/8/98 10:51 PM I am in an interrogative mood this evening. There are two things that have often caught my eye when cruising the dselect selection browser. The screen package is one. From the description it seems to me to be pretty much the same thing as the virtual terminals that come part and parcel with Linux. Are they the same, or do they provide something the VT's don't ? Screen is more for over telnet sessions etc. It also provides the ability to detach (either great, or evil, depending on who you ask) screens and resume them later. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Two Mice
I've been looking for an answer to this question for a while (it's actually two questions, I suppose). Both questions regard using two mice, one on /dev/psaux (Touchpad on a laptop) and one on /dev/cua0 (Kensington serial mouse). The first is with GPM: It appears I can do this with the -M flag, but does anyone know exactly how? I've been trying to make it work and have yet to be able to. Second: In X: Is it even possible? I haven't seen anything that says how, but it'd seem like it wouldn't be overly difficult. Or at least it shouldn't be.

Ethernet not starting correctly
Once again, I'm having some problems with networking. I at least got my card working now (was having problems before that I fixed by recompiling new kernel and pcmcia modules etc.) but now the networking isn't loading correctly when it boots. When I boot up networking simply doesn't work. eth0 hasn't initialized. Yet when I run /etc/init.d/network, it works perfectly from that point. What's the deal with it not starting correctly? One thing I had to change before in /etc/init.d/network was the device from pcmcia to eth0. Do I have to do this in other files as well?

PCMCIA E-Net Errors.... More Again
Hey once again... For anyone who's looked at my last two mails, I'm still having the same problem setting up a 3c589a pcmcia ethernet card. I'm using a debian distrib and have pcmcia services installed and working. The problem is that I'm not real sure how to go about setting up the card for ethernet. When I try to do insmod /lib/modules/2.0.29/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o it returns this: /lib/modules/2.0.29/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o: unresolved symbol dev_alloc_skb_Re1879ac7 /lib/modules/2.0.29/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o: unresolved symbol ether_setup_R49e2786a /lib/modules/2.0.29/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o: unresolved symbol unregister_netdev_R8ca4afc9 /lib/modules/2.0.29/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o: unresolved symbol eth_type_trans_R5d6ef009 /lib/modules/2.0.29/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o: unresolved symbol netif_rx_R4c16cac7 /lib/modules/2.0.29/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o: unresolved symbol dev_kfree_skb_R7154554e /lib/modules/2.0.29/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o: unresolved symbol register_netdev_R1a0543c6 /lib/modules/2.0.29/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o: unresolved symbol dev_tint_R3dd5ae2a I'm not sure what it takes to fix this. Does it require a recompile of the module? If so, how exactly do I compile it as a module (and more importantly, where do I get the source) Thanks. --Asher -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Installing Debian and setting up PCMCIA E-net
Hey everyone, I'm trying to install Debian after having Redhat installed on my system. I've gone through the install, but I'm confused as to how I can make my ethernet card work. The card is a PCMCIA 3-com 3c589a. It doesn't seem as if there's any driver for it in the installer, and as far as using a module to do it, I'm not real sure what to do. When I try to install the PCMCIA packages (pcmcia-cs and the modules) the modules tell me that the version of cs is too new, and cs tells me that there are first: no modules, and second: that there are no PCMCIA devices in /proc/devices. Would appreciate any help regarding how I can make this work. Thanks -Asher Haig -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
