Setting debian to use Win2k as it's Internet gateway?
Hi, I have a win2k box set to do ICS and dial on demand (not the question) - 192.168.0.1 I have my Debian laptop attached to this eth0 192.618.0.10. They share files via samba. But, I'd like to be able to set Debian so that it uses 192.168.0.1 as it's internet gateway. I've fiddled with route but to no avail. Is there a simple way of doing this? How?

Building a source tarball..
Hi, I'm running Debian 3.0r1 stable (woody) on a x86 laptop. I know how to build a source tarball into binaries and how to bung 'em into /usr/local/bin. However, I have recently found (thanks to this list) how to build the kernel source into a .deb package using make-kpkg - what I want to know, is there a way to do the same thing with a foo.tar.gz? Then do a dpkg -i foo.deb? Anyone point me in the right direction? Or should I stick with: ./configure ./make ./ make install ?

Setting up IPTables..
Hi all, Can anyone tell me where there is a HOWTO describing (or give me an outline of what I should do) setting up IPTables on my debian 3.0r1 box. I am using a self-compiled 2.4.20 kernel and connect using ppp/dialup so here's what I think I need to know: * What kernel options/modules should I compile and set with modconf? * What userspace stuff do I need to do? * Is firestarter a good way to set up a basic firewall? (It looks easy to me). Thanks, Kevin -- The information contained in this e-mail is intended only for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.

Best WWW browser..
Hi, I'm using Debian 3.0r1 stable (woody) and am currently using Galon for web-surfing. However, it seems to break on some sites - they seem to be moaning about Frames support mostly. Anyway, which browser should I use under gnome to get the most pages viewed?

[OT] Learning PERL
Hi, I know this is slightly off-topic but it's definitely related to virtually all Un*xen I've ever come across. I have a colleague who has never used a *real* OS but now as part of his job he has to. A few times I've come across him doing things like find/replace over and over in nedit to change every occurrence of fred for wilma for example. I've quickly shown him how to PERL it on those occasions. He's finally starting to get it and has asked me if I know of a good book for learning PERL for a complete beginner - I let him borrow my Camel (Programming PERL to those who don't know) but it's too hard for him - no prior programming experience. Can anyone recommend a book (or even better, and online tutorial set) for this guy to learn basic PERL from. You know simple reg-ex's and the like?

Re: pppd on demand trouble
Hi, I seem to remember if you use DEMAND dialing you shouldn't use PERSIST and vice versa - one or the other only. Seems logical if you think about it.. Personally I use demand with an idle set for 10 minutes so that my ppp is dropped if I don't access the network for 10 minutes at a time. Hope this is helpful, Kevin Greetings, all. I'm running Woody on an old Pentium box as my gateway/firewall/fileserver for my LAN here at Castillo del Lago (my home). Life is good here, and I'm really enjoying Debian, but I'm kind of stuck with the demand dialing thing. If I comment out the "demand" and "persist" statements in /etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/peers/provider, I can say "pppd call provider" and the modem dials (and I post to the list asking for help). I do get "tdb_store failed: IO Error," but the link comes up fine, and here I am. If I uncomment "demand" and "persist," when I call pppd and then point the browser of one of my masq'ed machines outside of my LAN, the Woody box just sits there. Oh, I also have smbd running on the Woody box (shouldn't matter, I would think.) This is obviously a problem that has been solved, just not by me :-/ I don't know what else to toss out in the way of info for now, but will cheerfully provide more if asked.

sharing /var/mail/ with mutt and Evolution..
Hi, I have a problem with Evolution - I keep swinging from trees! :-) Seriously, using Debian 3.0r1 stable I've got mutt working beautifully picking up mail from my /var/mail/kevin mbox. When I installed Evolution and pointed it to this box and set it to 'use Unix mail spool file' it cannot get the messages out of the spool. While mutt still works perfectly. If I set evolution to Local mbox support it gets the mail out of the spool but doesn't leave it there so I cannot see it from mutt then, help! I think there must be some trick to getting Evolution to leave the mail in /var/mail/kevin or to have /var/mail/kevin act as my Inbox? Any one have any ideas?

Bash terminal beep - how to shut it up?

Help with setting time from internet timeservers over dialup
Hi, I am using Debian 3.0r1 and connect to the internet using a dialup. Basically I've set my /etc/peers/provider and my /etc/chatscript to dial up Freeserve Anytime and negotiate ppp using PAP. pppd handles getting the link up and running and all I do is type 'pon' and 'poff' to bring the network up and down. This is a single machine with nothing else connected to it. My questions are thus: a) What package do I need to install to set my system time from an internet timeserver? (and write it to the CMOS clock?) b) Where is the _right_ place to invoke this, what script? I'd like it to set the clock upon establishing a ppp connection. c) anything else you might think would be helpful for me?

getting time from timeserver on a dial-up
Hi, I'm using Debian 3.0r1 stable on a dialup in the UK. I'm using PAP authentication that CHAT's to the modem then launches pppd and away we go. What I'd like is for the machine to check and set (if necessary) the system clock based on the time from one of the many timeservers on the internet. What package do I need to do this? How do I make it autorun once pppd has got the ppp connection up and running (I use the pon script) Thanks for your help, Kevin -- Please don't read any further if you're offended by mailservers adding legalese to the bottom of eMails.. ;-) The information contained in this e-mail is intended only for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.

Re: URGENT: Building kernel.
Before you compile your Kernel (In this case you'll need to start again)
and probably do a 'make clean' in the source directory followed by 'make
menuconfig' then find the option about RAMDISK SUPPORT - then turn it off!
then I'd 'make dep', 'make modules'.. &c.
PS. I don't think this is the Debian *way* of doing the compile but I never
had a problem my way so I've never bothered to learn how to do it the
Debian way.
Anyhow, essentially the answer is to turn off the RAMDISK SUPPORT in your
Kernel Configuration seetings prior to compilation.
Hope this helps,
Kevin

Dear all,
I am installing the linux kernel 2.4.18 in debian following the
instructions found in the url:
http://subwiki.honeypot.net/cgi-bin/view/Main/DebianKernelBuilding?skin=print
At the final step for installing the new kernel and module packages:
"dpkg -i {list of .deb packages from the previous step}
I receive the following error message:
rena2:/usr/src# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18myhost1_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 54323 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace kernel-image-2.4.18myhost1 10.00.Custom (using
kernel-image
-2.4.18myhost1_10.00.Custom_i386.deb) ...
You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version
2.4.18myhost1)
This will not work unless you have configured your boot loader to use
initrd. (An initrd image is a kernel image that expects to use an INITial
Ram Disk to mount a minimal root file system into RAM and use that for
booting).
As a reminder, in order to configure lilo, you need to
add an 'initrd=/initrd.img' to the image=/vmlinuz
stanza of your /etc/lilo.conf
I repeat, You need to configure your boot loader. If you have already done
so, and you wish to get rid of this message, please put
`do_initrd = Yes'
in /etc/kernel-img.conf. Note that this is optional, but if you do not,
you'll contitnue to see this message whenever you install a kernel
image using initrd.
Do you want to stop now? [Y/n]n
Unpacking replacement kernel-image-2.4.18myhost1 ...
