debian ftp crashes redhat

1998-01-10 Thread Berni Ernst

Hi,

I have a strange problem which may have to do with ftp services.

A RedHat Linux box (2.0.30) acts as a gateway to the internet.
I has a built-in ISDN card (avm fritzcard) and is connected to
a virtual ethernet with Linux, BSD, SCO and Minix machines.
Via ip forwarding the rest of the ethernet can do ftp, http etc.

That of course basicly works. But:

my main workstation is a pentium with debian linux 1.3.1 (2.0.30).
When I do ftp to the internet via the gatway (redhat) the redhat
machines crashes totally. The last message is:

kernel panic: skpush: under: 001a4bf0:2 in swapper task - not syncing.

Now only a hard reset brings the redhat box back to live.
This happens not every time I use ftp via debian but very often.
And definetly it only happns from the debian box. Using FreeBSD,
SCO OpenServer, SCO Unixware or even Minix is OK over weeks and
months.

Any idea what can be the reason for my problem ?

Btw: network adaptors are WD8013 (redhat) and 3com509 (debian).

thx

berni

debian 1.3.1 apache

1997-12-26 Thread Berni Ernst

Hello,

I have an debian box with version 1.3.1 where I want to run
apache as a http server. Works! But I am unable to run any
cgi scripts or SSI in my html documents. I commented out
the described parts in srm.conf.

What else can I do or where should I have a special
look for ?

thx

berni

ISA Adaptec and RAM 16 megs

1997-09-25 Thread Berni Ernst

Hi,

I installed debian 1.3.2 on my porty computer which is an older
Pentium (60) with an adaptec 1542cf ISA scsi controller.
As soon as I install more than 16 megs of memory the system crashes
sooner or later without any message. Reducing the memory to 16 megs
stops the crashes.

Can I use the adaptec1542cf only with a maximum of 16 megs ? Can't
believe !

Bye

Cursor problem

1997-09-14 Thread Berni Ernst

Hi there,

is there a chance to force the cursor ? I installed debian 1.2 on
an older portable computer with LC EGA display (which is maybe a little
bit incompatible). 
During booting the cursor is there but is away as soon as the
computers bios messages are shown. 
Then everythings is fine except the cursor which is NOT THERE.
 I tried to play a little with setfont, which gave me a very small cursor 
but cuts a part of the screen.

Any hint how I can force the cursor ? A big block cursor like on SUN machines
would be great.

thx  bye

berni

debian with smail

1997-09-14 Thread Berni Ernst
Hi there,

we have an internal (virtual) domain with 192.168.0.xxx IPs. Our debian
box (1.3) is the gateway to the outside world. It has an ppp connection to
a provider an several uucp connections for news and file transfer.
This box is also the smarthost for our domain.

So smail has to 
- route mail within our own domain with smtp
- pass mail for the outside world to the provider with smtp
- transfer mail to systems with direct uucp connections

Basicly everything seemed to be OK. But sometimes there is mail to
an address like [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only as an example) which is
going wrong. This example mail has to go via the smarthost (provider)
with smtp. But it did'nt! smail tries to force a direct smtp connection
which doesn't exist.

Please cracks, have a look to my routers file:

# do I need this entry ? 
inet_addrs:
driver=gethostbyaddr,
transport=smtp;

# for my neighbours, that works fine
uucp_neighbors:
driver=uuname,
transport=uux

# some special uucp adresses, works fine
paths:
driver=pathalias,
transport=uux;
file=paths

# for the internal domain (maybe this causes the problem .
inet_hosts:
driver=gethostbyname,
transport=smtp; 
#   required=lahn.de
domain=lahn.de

# smart host, OK
smart_host:
driver=smarthost, 
transport=smtp;
path=freeway
#   transport=uux;
#   path=dyob

#

When there is mail to such a critical address I comment out the inet_hosts
entry. Then the mail goes correctly via the smart host. During this time
ALL internal mail is routed via smart host and is lost there.

Any hint for my problem ?

thx  bye

berni
