Re: Connecting to a Microsoft Proxy Server
As others have noted, Microsoft Proxy Server does support SOCKS. This feature must be enabled by the administrator. Having done that you can install the SOCKS client and use: runsocks apt to use apt. I'm not sure if runsocks comes with the debian package. You might have to download the source and compile yourself if not.

Re: PyORBit vs. ORBit-Python
Sounds great. The available PyORBit isn't much use anyway since as near as I can tell, it can only understand CORBA objects which were compiled into it. I assume ORBit-Python can take in new IDL at runtime? Roland Mas wrote: Hello people, This message concerns Python users, and in particular users of the python-orbit package. The python-orbit package currently contains the PyOrbit module, that is a Python binding for ORBit, the CORBA ORB used e.g. by GNOME. PyORBit development seems to be somewhat dead. On the other hand, there is ORBit-Python, another module with the same goals. This one is more advanced, and is still actively developed upstream. I do have an interest in ORBit-Python (I am part of upstream and I use it for work). So, what I suggest is this: having successfully gone through the new maintainer process, I'd like to take over the package, and replace its contents (PyOrbit) by ORBit-Python. PyOrbit is version 0.0.2, ORBit-Python is 0.1.3 (+ CVS changes), so there should be no problem. Consequently, I'm looking for comments. Are there PyOrbit users out there? Are there any people depending on it being PyOrbit and not ORBit-Python? If noone raises their hand, I'll probably upload a new python-orbit package in a few days.

Re: qmail not starting....
The file /etc/qmail/control/me should contain the FQDN of your machine as it wants to be known to other machines on the internet, e.g.: exchange.tallan.com I am surprised to hear you say that you have exim and that it's starting. dpkg should prevent you from having two MTAs installed since it doesn't work. If exim starts then qmail can't start since they both want to listen on the SMTP port. There can be only one! This may actually be the reason qmail won't start. W. Crowshaw wrote: After a bit of luck, I managed to build debs for qmail 1.0.3 and its counterpart ucspi-tcp for the powerpc. Installing was generally successful except towards the end when the install told me that I needed to set up /etc/qmail/control/me on my own. It is the absence of this file which I believe is causing qmail not to start on boot ( /etc/init.d/exim exists and does atttempt to start). So the installer told me that I should read qmail's docs /usr/doc/qmail in order to find out how to configure 'me.' I have also read posts on debian-user which claim that these docs are very informative. However, I have read them all and I can't find out how to write 'me' manually, nor does it supply any examples. One file (either INSTALL or INSTALL.ctl) refers to two scripts intended to configue qmail: config and config-fast. The debs themselves fail to supply these scripts anywhere. I did however manage to find them (config.sh and config-fast.sh) when I unpacked the tar file of the original sources. However, these scripts fail to work too. So any tips, pointers, howtos, or examples anyone could pass on to me would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, its back to exim. p.s.

Re: how to watch VCD?
Well, I can't point you toward a player but I can perhaps offer a little more insight. Actually, my knowledge pertains to SVCD so I'm guessing a little bit but... In SVCD each video piece (for lack of a better term--and I'm leaving out SPIs but let's just not worry about those right now) are represented in the ISO9660 filesystem as files under the directory MPEG2. The entry in the ISO9660 directory specifies the extent where the file is located. An extent is basically a block on a CD-ROM. AFAIK ordinarily files in an ISO9660 are stored in the same track. In a SVCD, each video piece is stored in its own track. Also, data in an ISO9660 filesystem is stored in Form1 sectors (which have error correction bits) while MPEG data is stored as Form2 sectors (no error correction bits). I don't that the linux driver for CDs (ie. what would be used in dd if=/dev/hdc output=hopefullympegdata.mpg) can only read from track1 (where ISO9660 filesystems generally live) but who knows? It is much more likely though that it expects the sectors to be Form1. This would probably cause it to miss the last 276 bytes if it didn't just cause an error. This might give you some ideas.

Quoting the pertinent part: I tried to play VCD with MpegTV. It runs just fine, but the FullScreen mode doesn't work. (S/He's obviously having some problems.) My own attempts to play VCD's with free tools has thus far been successful. The problem I believe is in getting the data off the VCD. If the data (found in the pseudo file /cdrom/mpegav/avseq0?.dat) can be extracted correctly, you can can watch the movie in the VCD. To test this little theory of mine I copied /mpegav/avseq01.dat using windoze. plaympeg played avseq01.dat just fine. Under gtv the video looks a bit jumpier. BTW, I tried both dd and cp under linux but the resulting file is unplayable (or only the first frame, freeze-framed, appears). I also found out that the program cdrdao can duplicate some VCD's. Now, can anybody complete this half-baked answer? Does anybody know of any linux way of extracting the data off a VCD so it can be piped to plaympeg, etc? This probably will be the video equivalent of audio ripping.

Re: signing gpg key with old key ...
The tools people use for sending you stuff should tell them that the key is expired. That should encourage them not to use it. If you revoke your old key that certainly invalidates the signature. Technically you can't change the expire date. I mean there's nothing to stop the software from changing the date and regenerating the signature but the server *should* recognize this and reject such a change since the old signature includes the expiration date.

Re: problems w/ fully qualified domain names over DHCP
First, changing the NS IPs in resolv.conf might help your machine think that it's IP address maps to your FQDN but it doesn't help anyone else. The change in dynamic dns will take a few seconds to take effect. I realize though that for things like apache it's helpful/necessary to have the FQDN-dynamic IP working first. It should work (though not necessarily 100% reliably) for you to just have the dynamic dns update occur as soon as you get your DHCP address. I'm assuming you've found this not to be the case. So, I'll tell you what I do (I also have a host with a cable modem-dispensed dynamic IP that I resolve to my own domain name). I just update /etc/hosts when I get my IP address. I use dhcp-client rather than pump. Actually pump may have the capability that dhcp-client does but I'm not aware of it. With dhcp-client the script /etc/dhclient-script is run to handle events (like getting a new IP). I use a python script I wrote which will find the correct line and update /etc/hosts. It's robust to comments and the position of the hostname. I've hardcoded my hostname in the script so you'll need to update it. Then you just need to edit /etc/dhclient-script and put the call to this script in the right place. Look for the part: if [ x$old_ip_address = x ] || [ x$old_ip_address != x$new_ip_address ] || \ [ x$reason = xBOUND ] || [ x$reason = xREBOOT ]; then ifconfig $interface inet $new_ip_address $new_subnet_arg \ $new_broadcast_arg and after the ifconfig line add: /usr/local/bin/update-ip $new_ip_address (assuming you put the script into /usr/local/bin). And that's all there is to it! Easy huh? Daniel Freedman wrote: Hi, I'm having some difficulties with my Debian 2.2 box using a DHCP-provided IP address (with cable modem) and dynamic DNS. (And apologies upfront for the length of this email.) Here's the background: I've had the system working for awhile now with DHCP by itself. Recently, I've been obtaining a dynamic DNS address through dyndns.org (their nameservers are even collocated here in Ithaca with me!), which also has always worked fine; however, this dyndns.org address was a subdomain of dyndns.org, and, since I wasn't receiving mail (i use this, my school account, for email) or running a webserver, I didn't care that the machine didn't have a fully qualified domain name for my own SLD. Now, however, I've started using easydns.com which allows one to resolve personal SLD's (that we've registered with ICANN or CORE) with dynamic dns, and I'd like my machine to be able to recognize it's full domain name. If I had a static IP, this would probably be easy and I could just place the ip address and FQDN in the /etc/hosts. However, the way I have it currently configured (which isn't resolving the FQDN, of course), is to only place the loopback address (as well as the names and addresses in 192.168.xxx.xxx for my other home machines) in this file. I then obtain my current IP address fron DHCP by having RoadRunner's nameservers in my resolv.conf file. The problem is that I'm not sure where to place the nameservers for easyDNS.com which actually associate the dynamic IP address from RoadRunner with my registered domain name. I've tried replacing the RR ns ip's in resolv.conf with the ns ip's for easydns.com, but upon reboot, the resolv.conf file is rewritten with the original RR ns ip's and I still don't have my domainname associated with my dynamic ip. I've also tried to fully qualify the domain name in hostname (rather than just putting the machine name), but that ends up breaking the configuration (pump --status won't work and other network tests end up killing the connection). In thinking about things, I'm considering that the answer might be in changing my routing tables such that the default gateway isn't the roadrunner domain, but my knowledge is running precariously thin here. I've looked at a bunch of linuxdoc howto's and through this list's archives, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere, and it's fully possibly I'm making some stupid mistakes :) Suggestions and pointers would be most appreciated.
