In the described case I would like a solution that store record the session in a safe way, immutable and trustable, therefore encrypting all (only the owners have to be able to read it) and hosted on a read only resource (the user who logins should not be able to delete it) and provable (signed). I think that with pam there is the risk that a user with full access right could easily delete all the logs. Or that the log could be altered after.

SSH session audit
Hi, I'm co-managing a server with a friend of mine offering ourself some basic service (like emails, file sharing, etc). At this time each of us can freely login on the server via ssh (we trust each others) for the daily administrative tasks. I would like to improve the current set up by adding a layer of certification and proofing of the ssh session, because if you know that you are recorded you'll be enforce to behave better. For this scope I've found many different possible solution, but quite complex to be implemented (like ssh proxy that records the session [1]), or too basic (like using /usr/bin/script). So far none of those that I've found satisfy me. About that I remember that some time ago (maybe one or two years ago) I read a post on planet debian about such a method for session audit. It was suggesting as an easy to run solution for external consultant: the recording and encrypting of the remote session was performed without requiring any proxy, letting to store the session data on a dumb external host. From what I could remember I think that the idea was something like recording the session with script like utilities (launched at session login), then periodically encrypting it with gpg and publishing on a local folder or on a remote resource. This way the owner of the system could reliably access the session log, and the remote person could always prove what he did at during the ssh session. Do you know about that solution? Or could you suggest something similar? Thank you, risca. [1] ssh proxy solutions: ssh-bastion, KeyBox

Your system probably doesn't use caching then, unlike the default Debian+GNOME install. Since you are careful not to unplug your drives when the LED is on, this seems to be the reason why you didn't loose data. It applies to your system, but it is still a dangerous advice to give, because many systems use the default, caching config. And you need a LED on all your keys to avoid damaging them. Also, remember that writing all the data immediately decreases your drives' lifetime. Anyway, I reported the bug, because as I said this can be dangerous for most people.

As I said, I frequently get a message from GNOME saying the writes are not finished, and that although the drive disappeared from the menus, I have to let it plugged. Especially when I write large amounts of data. Which happens frequently, because it's my backup drive. > However, I did write my on udev rule to do the mounting/unmounting, and > this was after reseaching expert advice on how to do it properly. Can you explain how your udev manages to "unmount properly" when the drive has already been unplugged ? Or do your rules just disable caching ? I could do that, but that doesn't prevent some program from writing on my disk when I want to unplug it. I've also read that disabling caching and writing all the data instantly can reduce the lifetime of the key, as it stresses more the memory cells. > > > Additionally, I don't have any LED on this drive, which makes it even > > more dangerous. > > Then my method won't work well for you.

Just because you didn't lose data doesn't mean it's safe. All systems are known to use caching, and GNOME frequently informs me, after having asked to unmount my key, that I shouldn't unplug it until it has finished to write data on it. Additionally, I don't have any LED on this drive, which makes it even more dangerous.

GNOME Shell can't unmount my USB key
Hello, In GNOME Shell, when I click on the "Eject" option in the notification bar to unmount my USB key, it unmounts correctly and then immediately mounts again, as if I just plugged it. It happens only with the Kingston DataTraveler I own. I've tried on several desktops, and it seems to happen only with GNOME Shell. MATE, XFCE, and Ubuntu with Unity don't have the issue. And when I unmount it with Nautilus, it stays unmounted, as it should. This bug is annoying, as I can't be sure that nothing is writing on my key before unplugging it. I want to find the cause, and if necessary write a bug report. I need advice : should I report the bug to Debian or GNOME ? What additional information could I provide that could help ? Obviously, if someone has a way to fix this without reporting a bug, I would also be happy to read it. Thanks.

It will be corrupted unless I manually unmounted it, and the notification is the fastest and easiest way to do that. I don't want to open a terminal, type 'sudo umount /dev/sdb1' and give my password each time I unplug my key. And, what is the point of having an "Eject" option if just unplugging the key is safe ? Windows also unmounts USB keys when they are unplugged, and that doesn't make it safe.

Manufacturers can still screw it up with poor hardware design and/or incompetent scripting. You appear to have a router problem, confirm this by disconnecting everything but one client computer, and try it with at least two cables and two computers. You may well have done this already, if you have nothing else on the wired network. 1. Power cycle the router, if you haven't tried that yet, waiting at least ten seconds before restoring power. I've owned or used five different low-cost routers, from five different manufacturers, and every one of them could get into a state where a simple reboot wasn't enough to fix them, they needed a hard reset. 2. Save or write down the configurations, restore the factory defaults, reboot, reconfigure, reboot. 3. Check the voltage of the power brick while under load or substitute another of suitable ratings. Not easy, but that's the least reliable part of the router hardware. 4. Check the Net for news of firmware upgrades, download from manufacturer if any seems appropriate. If none of this solves or at least alters the problem, you have a faulty router. If it's out of warranty, buy another one, as it's pretty well certain to be uneconomic to repair. Keep it for emergency wireless-only use when your next router breaks... -- Joe -- www ... http://www.callistix.net/ mail ... vitam...@callistix.net irc ... #chezpaeule @ euirc mud ... vitaminx @ aardmud

Hi, maybe you should take a look at the *cpulimit* package. greetings, vitaminx 2009/7/2 Jordi Moles Blanco jo...@cdmon.com hi everyone, let's say i want to create an .img file of 50GB with dd command. After that, i will give it a format with mkfs.ext3. The problem is that while dd is running I'm not able to do anything else on the machine, not even ssh in, it just consumes all the available resources, and as I'm creating a 50GB image, i can't access the machine for several minutes. I've tried to use nice command, giving the dd process the lowest possible priority, 19. The thing is that the whole thing performs better, i can establish ssh connection. However, i can't do much when I'm in it, everything is so slow. I've also read some documentation about limit/ulimit command, but i fail to see how i can use it successfully for this matter. I would like to run dd and let it use, for example, only 10% of the CPU time or 30% of the total amount of memory. Is that possible? I'm not looking for a general process limit for the whole system, only for a particular process.

Uptimes - any guidance? [moving OT]
Hi, to come back to the point: we have some servers here in the company that are up for over 400 days now (linux, aix, hp-ux)... so there's really no reason to reboot until you have to do maintenance on kernel / hardware - even better if you have hot-pluggable hardware (hd's, ac-adapters, there are even hot-pluggable ram processors), then you can even do maintenance on hardware without downtime. greetings, vitaminx 2009/6/27 AG computing.acco...@googlemail.com Allen Kenner wrote: AG wrote: Hello list I'm running Squeeze on a desktop and so far have an uptime of some 11d. I am just curious whether or not there is any guidance/ advice on how long uptimes should be allowed to be run, or whether it is wise to shut down and reboot? Are you by chance coming from Windows? ;) Only when at work - at home, most assuredly not ... at least, not since 2001 anyway. I'm thinking wise as from the perspective of the system and its overall functioning, etc. By way of comparison, I have a headless OpenBSD box running nothing but firewall and router and it is a workhorse - just keeps on going and going. I'm sure I have clocked uptimes of 90+ days on that without a problem. Open BSD and Debian are similar in terms of stability. I personally think OpenBSD is crap and the guy doing it is a totally arrogant jerk, and not in the self respectable way but that's just me. That's an interesting opinion, and certainly not one that I've come across before (about OBSD, not de Raadt, who I couldn't comment on). I was under the impression that OBSD was considered one of the best OSs for security, due to the security audit of all lines of code, automatic lockdown of services by default, and strong encryption, as well as the OBSD's team uncompromising stance on openness, etc. So just interesting to hear such an apparently widly divergent opinion on the OS. I use FreeBSD instead for BSDs as it's closer to the stuff from Berkeley, Yeah, FreeBSD has always interested me, but I have yet to try it. Maybe once I've finished my current project and have some time on my hands, I may well look to dual boot FreeBSD and Debian, just to see if there's any difference. Are there any issues regarding UID flags for /home for example on a shared Debian/ FreeBSD machine, if both OSs try to access the same directory? snip I rarely reboot ever. One of the things that made me use Linux and BSD to begin with was me being tired of rebooting for a MEDIA PLAYER! I couldn't believe I had to reboot for it, and got fed up. Now, I reboot only to add hardware. (I use FreeBSD, Slackware, SUSE, Mandriva, Debian, and Solaris). Aaah Slackware ... I still have fondness for Slackware and enjoyed using it from 8.1 to 11.0 However, I confess to having become quite spoiled by the package management system of Debian (and I suspect that FreeBSD and Gentoo are similar with ports and portage respectively).

Re: Can't remove LVM swap device
Hi found this on http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Unix/Linux/LINUX_ManagingPhysicalLogicalVolumes.shtml : *Delete Physical / Logical Volumes* Before going into the details of how to drop all of the physical and logical volumes created in this article, it is very common to only want to remove a Logical Volume from a Volume Group. Let's say we no longer needed lvol15. We can remove it and place its PE's back in the empty pool for the Volume Group. First, unmounting its filesystem (if it is mounted). Next, deactive it with lvchange and finally delete it with lvremove. Here is an example that removes the lvol15: # *lvchange -a n /dev/pv1/lvol15* # *lvremove /dev/pv1/lvol15* lvremove -- do you really want to remove /dev/pv1/lvol15? [y/n]: *y* lvremove -- doing automatic backup of volume group pv1 lvremove -- logical volume /dev/pv1/lvol15 successfully removed Now, it you would like to delete all physical and logical volumes created in this article.

Re: X-server restart console command
hi, when you use gdm as login manager: /etc/init.d/gdm restart greetings, vitaminx 2009/6/24 Sthu Deus sthu.d...@gmail.com Good day. I have a dell laptop on which after latest bios update, in X, the keyboard often becomes unworkable (as well as impossible to switch to console). So I try to solve it w/ X-server restart. But as I have only mouse working and would not to have a logout dialog every time I quit KDE, I would create a menu item that will run a restarting X-server command. After googling I did not find what the command is. So this is my question, w/ which console command or some other way using mouse only (that is w/o sudo) I can restart X-server?

Re: Version mismatch between kqemu module and qemu
hello, myself i'm using KVM right now, it's like qemu but i found it to work better with some operating systems. so i can tell you how to compile the kernel module for KVM, for qemu it should be similar (i'm not posting the output of the commands here). # aptitude install kvm kvm-source module-assistant # cd /usr/src # tar -xf kvm.tar.bz2 # cd /usr/src/modules/kvm # m-a a-i --force kvm # reboot this should give you a working KVM installation. for details don't forget to read the manual ( /usr/share/doc/kvm/ ). NOTE: kvm is based on qemu and uses the same command syntax, so it's easy to confuse between KVM and QEMU. greets, vitaminx 2009/6/24 Sthu Deus sthu.d...@gmail.com Thank You for Your time and answer, me: NOTE: the *kvm-modules-2.6.26-2-686* package was created by compiling * kvm-source*.

I have done dpkg -P qemu* kvm* Now when I simply install qemu from a DVD and try to run the machine: qemu-system-x86_64 -localtime -hda /pub/vm -m 512 the machine just hangs on its bios info screen. 2. It is strange to me that I have to compile a a package in order to get the hardware acceleration - I remember for sure that in the times when I had the acceleration (I believe it was before an upgrade) I did not compile anything myself - all was installed from repos. Probably, now I will the hard way. Can You recommend how to perform the compilation? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

They take couple of hours to finish. The time to complete proga, progb are not same. progc should to be launched only after both proga, progb are finished. progc takes another couple of hours to finish. What is good way to automate this problem (that is no manual interaction)? I prefer to use nohup since sometimes I have to log out of the machine before the whole process finishes. Currently I have a shell script that works as below. 1) launch proga, progb in the background using nohup. 2) Ask proga, progb to write a file when they finish. 3) Every five minutes check if these files are present. If they are present, launch progc. This gets me going for now. But it looks terribly inefficient. I would appreciate if someone can provide a better solution.

I am wanting to offer her a Debian solution in pace of her windowz solution but I thought I would ask some questions first. Apart from the basic web surfing and email stuff I asked her what else she really must be able to do. They are: 1. Rip (copy) DVD movies. We copy every single movie we own and only play the copied movie. This includes copywright movies. I won't get into the discussion over copying our movies. 2. Play her games. They are all windowz based games like call of duty and the like. Can I meet the above requirements in either etch or lenny and if so can someone please point me to where I can get the information to allow me to setup the new platform to meet those requirements for her.

That URL you cited seems laughable to me; there is no real data, no testing, etc. KDE itself, without actual apps running, can take up about 80 MB of memory. From there, it just depends on how many apps you run at the same time, which is true of any situation. And remember that when you use KDE apps, those libs are shared among all of them.

I have them installed an running just fine, but whenever I put an icon on my desktop or in a panel I get either nothing or a little gear icon for them. I would like to have the normal icons showing. It sounds like you're making a new launcher from scratch. Instead, drag copy the one from the K menu to the desktop or your panel, etc. On a personal note, putting app launchers on the desktop is a holdover from Windows and is very inefficient--you can't even see them unless you minimize everything; not to mention that it obscures your wallpaper. I recommend you put them on a panel, and also turn on the recently used apps feature on the K menu, and set it to 3-5. Hotkeys are also handy, and easy to use in KDE.

If you can't mount the device, please search some troubleshooting info on Google.

Re: burning from .ogg
Antony Gelberg had the gall to say: Hi all, Anyone know of an easy way to burn an audio CD from .ogg files, i.e. without converting them to .wav first. I'm not fussed about a GUI, infact I'd rather not have one. Here's something I posted to d-u a while back: Fwd: --- A couple of weeks ago, I found myself having to drive from the south of the UK to the north. Having just moved house, my CD collection was still in moving boxes. Luckily, I'd ogg'd them all up as I bought them so I could easily burn the half-dozen or so albums that I wanted for the trip. Getting bored of doing each album by hand, I wrote the following script that might just be useful to someone in the same position. Small, but I find it does the job. It burns all the ogg files it finds in the working directory to the default CDR drive. Don't try it on a huge directory of tagged ogg's, as it'll just think you know what you're doing and happily burn 700MB to the CD. Use: cd ~/music/band_name/album_name/ insert cd ogg2cd wait remove cd Caveats: o /etc/default/cdrecord must be set up correctly. If not, add the appropriate options to the script. You might need to add them in two different places. o Output is screwy, as it's not filtered/parsed/anything. o From when you type ogg2cd to realising that you're in the wrong directory, you have 2 seconds to ^C out. Press it multiple times. #!/bin/bash for FILE in *.ogg do ogg123 -d au -f - $FILE | cdrecord gracetime=2 -audio -pad -nofix - done cdrecord gracetime=2 -fix END Fwd -- HTH, jc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Tres problemas en mis primeros pasos.
Esta es mi primera vez que instalo Debian, y he aquí las primeras dificultades: i) Al ejecutar "startx" todo va bien hasta el punto "(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration". Creo haber configurado todo bien en el XF86config: mi tarjeta es una geforce2 (gts) y mi monitor un flatron775ft. Podría ser debido a que mi tarjeta es AGP, y la veo configurada cómo PCI? Una cosa es curiosa: al intentar arrancarme gdm, después de dos intentos me surgía un modo gráfico X-Window que me permitía configurar tarjeta, ratón, y monitor. Pero ná de ná. ii) Debido a esto, y también a que el menú de configuración se empeñaba en arrancar en modo gráfico, tuve que borrar a pelo del directorio que se encarga del runlevel 2 los ficheros gdm, kdm y xdm. Para modificar los procesos que se arrancan, se hace así, o hay otra forma menos radical? iii) Mi ratón no funciona: lo configuro como un Netscroll+, y este es tal, pero óptico (Netscroll + eye ps/2). Qué hacer?. Sé que no me funciona, por que cuando arrancaba aquella sesión X-Window mencionada en el apartado 1, estaba más muerto que un cadáver del CSI. iv) En caso de que logre ponerle las pilillas a las X-Windows, es difícil instalar la Gnome 2.0?

Re: Lean and clean IMAP client
* Joey Hess [EMAIL PROTECTED] [021226 02:15]: An alternative you may not have considered is just picking whatever mailer works best for you (mutt is quite lean and mean for example), and then use an external program to do the imap. Both isync and offlineimap do an excellent job of synchronising local mail folders with folders on a remote imap server. Then you can use whatever mail reader you like on those folders. If you're not using mutt, offlinimap is probably a better choice than isync. Thanks I hadn't thought of that. I am not concerned at the moment with offline access, but will keep it in mind, but I do like the idea of choosing your viewer. At the moment I am giving mutt a try, and so far have been successful with a few glitches in sending mail (the from field is a mess) and the reply-to. I am trying to fix that now. Other benefits of this approach include being able to read your mail while offline, and being able to swap in a different mail reader at will without worrying about how good its imap support is. -- see shy jo Thanks again, rohan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Installing Potato or Woody?
Hello, if one would need to install a production server would he choose Potato or Woody? I have nothing against installing Potato but what bothers me is ipchains and the relative old kernel. Do I need to be worried about future packages, who can be interesting, who will not being able to run on the old kernel? When will Woody be stable? Any ideas are welcome! Thanks!

Re: Time to fight for our beloved DEB format!
When I've mentioned about incompabilities between distros then I've mentioned about not only packaging format. I can only repeat that you expect to much if you think that common packaging format is the only problem of differences between distros. Please try to use something different than RH, i.e. Debian. I totally agree with you. There's a LOT more to cross distro compatibility than the package format and manager! A whole heck of a lot!! What would be cool would be if someone came up with a project specifically targetted at this much larger problem: cross-distro compatibility! Actually, this should have been started years ago, but never mind. I hereby put out a call for an initiative to do this. To begin to put flesh on this, I suggest the following draft opening to a mission statement for this effort: The goal is to develop and promote a set of standards that will increase compatibility among Linux distributions and enable software applications to run on any compliant Linux system. Anyone interested? Mariusz?

Anyone else have any thoughts on this article? More than a couple: 1) 2.2's a huuuge improvement over earlier incarnations of Deb., certainly in terms of installation over the 'net. Great and detailed instructions on the process. Didn't even have too much difficulty with the g-d bootdisks that everyone seems to have been bitching about. 2) Lots of the probs w/ 2.2 revolve around X, mouse, etc. X configuration is usually a troublespot w/out something snazzy like Lizard, YaST/Sax, whathaveyou. X is absolutely inconsistent in terms of performance, and the DM's (desktop managers that act like dungeon masters) are a disgrace. Neither of these is Debian's fault per se, but each package's project team. Nor is either essential to secure and stable running of Debian. 3) If the reviewer had been a newbie, the complaints might have been forgivable. Deb is not (yet) for newbies.

Problem with ISP16
My problem is next:
I have Media Magic ISP-16 sound card (SB compatible) and Sony CDROM drive
attached to it (card is controller).
During installation I get to the point of adding modules in the kernel
(kernel and
modules are already installed from driver and rescue floopy).
My first choice was isp16 module for CDROM. When I started the installation
responce was:
{
ISP16: configuration cdrom interface, version 0.6.
ISP16: cdrom interface (with OPTi 82C928 chip) detected.
Isp16: cdrom interface set up with io base 0x340, irq0, dma 0, type Sanyo.
Installation succeeded.
}
Next to isp16 module was +.
But when I tried to go on with installation (Base System) computer responses:
{
mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist
The CD-ROM was not mounted successfully.
}
First I try to change wrong CDROM drive type by adding to parametars:
{
isp16_cdrom_type=Sony
}
Responce was:
{
ISP16: configuration cdrom interface, version 0.6.
ISP16: cdrom interface (with OPTi 82C928 chip) detected.
Isp16: cdrom interface set up with io base 0x340, irq0, dma 0, type Sony.
Installation succeeded.
}
But when I try to go on resault was same.
Then I try to add cdrom module (Common toutines for CD-ROM drivers
loaded automatically.).
Responce was:
{
Module inserted $Id: cdrom.c, v 0.8 1996/08/10 10:52:11 david Exp $
Installation succeeded.
}
But resault was same (both with Sony and Sanyo as drives).
Only other module which can be added is Sony 535
Responce was:
{
Sony CDU-535: probing base address 340
Sony CDU-535 I/F CDROM: base address 340,
using
65536 byte buffer
Executing module post-install script 'cdromsymlink'...
script: cd /dev rm -f cdrom ln -s cdu535 cdrom
Post-install 'cdromsymlink' scripts done.
Installation succeeded.
}
But when I try to go on responce was:
{
mount: /dev/cdrom: Can't read superblock.
The CD-ROM was not mounted successfully.
}
That is not suprising because it is wrong driver, but it could help you
to understand what is wrong.
My understanding is that when I add module it should (through 'cdromsymlink'
script file) link files /dev/cdrom and /dev/cd.driver, and isp16 and cdrom
don't do that. Later when installation trys to mount cdrom
(mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom) /dev/cdrom just don't exist, or in case
of cdu-535 can't read it.
Can you help me to solve this problem, or is it bug in installation
(I have Debian GNU/Linux 1.3 with Linux 2.0.29). If bug is in the installation
is there some way to solve problem manualy (through shell)?
Thank you for help,
Jure.

Help! FAT magic number corrupted!
Hi all--- I'm new to Linux, and in the process of hacking cluelessly with my hard-drive setup I've managed to trash some vital part of my hard drive. Here's the general setup: /dev/hda1 (~100MB) Win95, formerly bootable, formerly DOS /dev/hda2 (~16MB) linux swap /dev/hda3 (~200mb) linux main: bootable, mounted as / /dev/hda4 (0) /dev/hda5 (~75mb) linux /var /dev/hda6 (~250mb) linux /usr a few days ago, i was hacking on something (LILO?), and flipped the bootable flag on /dev/hda1 to OFF. I also changed /dev/hda1 from a DOS partition to a Win95 FAT16 LBA partition, not thinking that this might pose a problem. (/dev/hda1 has win95 loaded on it, but I corrupted all the long filenames when I was repartitioning it. when it was labeled as a DOS partition, I could get into it using linux.) cfdisk returned an error as it was trying to write; silly me, i didn't write down what it said, but i figured nothing was seriously wrong. I rebooted. when I rebooted, I got an error: Kernel Panic: [something to the effect of, this drive's f*ed up] 03:01 I looked around and found a rootboot disk on the net (tomsrtbt), dutifully created it using another computer, and booted from a floppy. (My Debian rootboot disk wasn't working, still isn't, dunno why. sigh) Using a boot floppy, I can mount and read /dev/hda3 just fine, but I can't seem to run any of the binaries on it. (for example, cfdisk). I can't get into /dev/hda1 at all. So: is there a way to fix the hard drive, and /dev/hda1, without losing significant amounts of data? If so, what is it? Thanks in advance. -Renee Landrum [EMAIL PROTECTED] (main) - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (forwarding)

Hmm. Why does it think I have 81 FATs on one partition? As for the Win95 system... you will probablky need to re-install yep, i figured so. but right now I can't even get a Win95 boot floppy to recognize my C drive (aka /dev/hda1). sigh Could fips help me with that problem? Thanks so much.

This was what it gave me originally when this whole mess started. Well, did you reboot? There's a very good reason fdisk emits that message. If you don't reboot before making any file system modifications (mkfs et.al.) there is a good chance that you hose the wrong part of the disk, since the kernel's idea of the partition layout is then different from the actual layout.

Try removing the broken FAT partition with Linux fdisk. Then boot with the win95 boot floppy and run DOS fdisk to recreate the FAT partition--make sure that you have a copy of fdisk.exe on the boot floppy! It is also a good idea to have a Linux boot floppy handy, just in case... sounds drastic. how likely is it that i'll lose the data on /dev/hda1? (did i mention that during an ftp process, my backup got corrupted, and /dev/hda1 (used to?) contain my only other copy of those files? sigh) Talk about learning the hard way. I really need to corrupt that partition as little as possible. -Renee Landrum [EMAIL PROTECTED] (main) - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (forwarding)

PPPD ERRORS: Via FTP
I downloaded the vase disks via ftp, then installed the base system. Everything ok. I edited the /etc/ppp.chatscript for my isp...and i conected... Everything still ok. ppp0 was shown by ifconfig as working corectly, which it was. I set up nameservers..everything still working great. I go into dselect, set it up to get the rest of the packages via ftp, Updated, everything working great...i download the 30 some megs of *.deb's install them and configure them. I reboot the system, and pppd doesn't work corectly. Looking at the logs, it initiates chat just like normal, dials, gives login/password, then returns to pppd, which says something like Conection established. Then it says ppp0 --- /dev/ttyS2 That is all good and dandy. Then it stops and times out...looking at the previous logs, it should have said some stuff about my ip, but it didn't.

Hi (btw: no need to shout at us), sorry maybe you could answer some questions to give us a better understanding: did you upgrade pppd on your dselect run? i am not sure...what ever comes by default (it is entirely possible) do you try to connect as root or as a normal user ? root what are pppd's permissions? i forget...but that seems not to be a major problem (i will check later) do you have debug enabled in /etc/ppp/options ? yes Ciao, Martin -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Orientation documentation please (was: Re: Changing mouse drivers)

What would be the steps (I do not want to reload the OS.)? Reload the OS? That's windows-world thinking. First, if you installed the gpm package, you'll need to run 'gpmconfig' as root, and tell gpm about your mouse. Those who live in glass houses... No, that's not windows-world thinking. It's the kind of thinking you get when the operating system doesn't come with good installation/configuration _documentation_. Since users set up the system by running installation scripts, that's the only way new users know that the system can be configured. If the system came with better installation and configuration documentation users would have documentation in which to look up things like changing mice, etc. I thinking of an overview of the things to do and of how the system-manage- ment utilities fit together (as opposed to documentation of individual utitilies, which is probably close to sufficient). Why doesn't Debian come with a document that points to the system-wide Debianizations of the system (e.g., the xxxconfig commands (which _are_ quite convenient once you know they exist)), and why doesn't the Debian installation document point to that orientation document? (Consider new users: They follow the instructions for loading Debian on the system. Those instructions (last I saw), dumped the user into dselect, without given an orientation of what still needs to be configured, to Debian-specific ways of doing things, etc.) (I know there are some LDP documents out there. However, they don't cover the Debianized aspects of a Debian distribution.) (Also, I know that many packages' README files are in /usr/doc/xxx, but they don't apply when Debian has changed the default configuration of the package, and the changes from that default are not all documented in README-Debian files for the packages.)

Re: Infomagic LDR debian, and, What's Hamm and Bo?
From: David Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bo is the current stable release; hamm is unstable. The names are just codenames, which never change. ... For some reason, some people object to the user of these codenames (don't ask me why; every project in real life has a codename) so ... And when the project is released, there are version numbers or release numbers. Why the heck doesn't Debian use the release number (e.g., 1.3, 1.3.x) as the primary (canonical) name? Then when you seem 1.2 and 1.3, you can tell which is newer and which is older.

More Gnus problems
Thanks to the people who sent me mail regarding Gnus... but I guess I'm such a dunce that it'll take more than that to get me reading my mail with Gnus... I read deeper into the info pages, followed the cookie cutter recipe, and still have no luck, so I made nnml the main select method... Here is my .gnus file: (BTW, should I put this stuff in .gnus, or .emacs, or does it matter?): (setq gnus-local-domain lightcom.net) (setq gnus-user-from-line Lars Louder [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (setq user-mail-address [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (setq gnus-local-organization What? I'm not organized.) ;;(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml lars_mail)) (setq nnmail-split-methods '((other ))) ;;that's been trimmed :D ;;(setq nnmail-spool-file po:lars) (setq nnml-spool-file /var/spool/mail/lars) ;; And here is the message I get: Cannot read active file from nnml server.

Gnus isn't the culprit (too bad I don't know what is:(
Well, even though you're all stumped as to why that .gnus file doesn't work, I think i've tracked the problem down to something other than Gnus. When I inc my mail for mh, i get this message: inc: unable to lock and fopen /var/spool/mail/lars And when Gnus calls movemail to get my mail from the spool file, I get this error message: nnml: Reading incoming mail... Getting mail from /var/spool/mail/lars... movemail: Permission denied for /var/spool/mail/Ea10189--see source file lib-src/movemail.c Cannot read active file from nnml server. This isn't the only problem with my mail setup. When I send messages with something like echo test | mail lars i get this message after waiting a few minutes: cannot chdir(/var/spool/mqueue): Permission denied The perms on /var/spool/mqueue are drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 1024 Nov 25 17:16 mqueue/ which can't be right. I'm starting to think there are serious problems with my mail setup, and I have no clue as to whether they are related or not :( Thanks again -lars -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version 3.12 GUCSAT dpu s-:- a---?

Gnus as a mailer
I've been using mh for a while now, and even though it's super functional, I'd like to try something else. S I look at the headers on this list and lots of people seem to be using Gnus as a mailer. Is there a page detailing how to do this? There is breif mention in the info pages, but not enough to get me going.
