X displays but console doesn't: vga=?
I cannot get to a console, but X works fine. If my runlevel is set to start graphically my monitor flashes "Invalid Scan Freq" three times and then works fine. If I start in single user mode it flashes "Invalid Scan Freq" forever. when I pass vga=ask to the kernel and select 80x25 the result is the same. When I choose "scan" it never comes back. I have been using the same monitor and video card for 3 years, but this just started last week when I put the card into a different box. The old motherboard is fried so there is no going back.

where are netboot ide-disk modules?
I am installing debian on a system with no removable media. I am netbooting the installation using pxe, dhcp, tftp. This works fine and I can start the installation. However, the install cannot access my harddisk because the ide-disk.o modules is not found. That the module is needed is autodetected, but insmod module load failed so I cannot access my harddrive.

Real Time Clock won't boot
When I compile the Real Time Clock into my kernel I cannot complete the boot process and login. This is true in single user mode. Strangly, most of the boot process completes. The hang appears to be in the /etc/rcS.d scripts. The last message to the screen is "WARNING: no network interfaces found" which is what I get when mounting samba shares I am mounting at boot. I can't believe the RTC would break Samba, and I get that message with every successful boot as well. What can I try next? Where should I look to fix this?

libGL dlopen() woes in unstable
I run unstable, and after the latest upgrade of nvidia-glx and glibc, I seem to be having no end of trouble with commercial opengl applications that like to dlopen() libGL.so.1. This seems to have something to do with the recent addition of TLS specific GL libraries to the nvidia driver. The readme from nvidia notes a similar problem in Redhat 9, which was later fixed by redhat with a glibc patch. Has anyone else seen this problem lately? On my machine, quake2, quake3, ut2003, ut, marble blast, and ballistics are affected. All but the last 2 of these work when LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1. When not set, the applications simply exit with a diagnostic message after dlopen returns an error (ltrace confirms this). When set, the applications that don't work simply crash. Not *all* commercial applications I have suffer from this problem (enemy territory, rtcw, neverwinter nights). Is this buggy use of dlopen? A glibc bug? I can't seem to find any bugs assigned to binutils, glibc, or nvidia-glx that describe this problem, but I don't want to file a bugreport before I know that it isn't some borked configuration on my part.

samba print samsung ML-1710
I am having some trouble figuring out how to get my Samsung ML-1710 printer to be shared with winXP. I am using lpr. I can print fine from linux, and can see the printer from XP. I can print gibberish from windows when using the same printer as defined in printcap that I use in linux. I figure that all I need to do is set up a raw printer and have XP use that. I cannot get my raw printer to print anything, either from windows or linux. I do not get any errors. The only time I see anything in the queue is when I turn the printer off and then print.

Here is a pretty picture of the OCI model which shows this http://www.howstuffworks.com/lan-switch7.htm Hubs just get packets from one interface to another on a network segment. Hubs work by broadcasting the packets to all interfaces connected to the hub, they only need a physical connection and so are at OCI level 1. Switches inspect the ip infomation and route the packets to the correct interface, they operate at OCI level 2. Routers can also connect different network segments perform firewalling/NAT/port forwarding packet mangling, and general TCP stuff and so use OCI level 3. I believe it is possible to have two cards with the same ip for redundancy/performance, but I expect it takes some special setup. Also you can stripe ( think raid ) across two cards.

The kernel parameter for initrd is just initrd=/boot/newinstall/root-2.4.bin but this is just doing what you have done with the grub command so I would expect anything different.

The reason I am bringing this up now is that I am finally getting a dedicated gateway machine. My dev box is functioning as the gateway now, which is not good. But I would like to minimize the number of services on the gateway, because the more services on your firewall box, the less secure the firewall. I appreciate all the good discussion on my specific question, but now lets open it up. Philosophy of Network Architecture: I have 4 boxes at home. My wife's and mine, the gateway, and the web/mail server in the DMZ. Also a Cisco 678 DSL router which provides NAT and port forwarding. I am debating what to do with squid,junkbuster,lpd,bind,apt-proxy. Should all this go on the gateway? Should any be in the DMZ? I am trying to restrict the DMZ to only public services, but maybe I do not have enough resources. It would be nice to have yet another box to host services in the LAN, but that is not going to happen soon. Basically I need help understanding the pros and cons of different setups. I am very concerned about security. ~Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
network print server
I have been using samba as a print server at home, but I am often mucking around on my debian box, and sometimes this results in my wife not being able to print. To increase user satisfaction I am considering purchasing one of these dedicated print server appliances which attach directly to the network. It must work for win98, XP pro and Debian. Ideally it would have parallel and usb support. I am looking for recommendation as to where to research what would work best.

sas fileserver
I have been asked to help with getting a server for SAS. One of the large expenses of this is the 200Gb+ RAID-5 disk on the EMC frame. When presented with $ the question came, can't I just get something I can put under my desk and save $? The SAS server will be on WIN2K. I am thinking of using Debian with software RAID and SAMBA. I have had good experience with this. Maybe even use the 8mg cache western digital IDE drives. We only expect a dozen users simultaneous or so, but working with large datasets. I have never seen anything about the best configuration of a file server with few connections and gobs of data being used per connection. Does anyone have experience with something similar? How will SAMBA perform when hammered by SAS? For the purposes of this thread, let us assume that the maintenance, service, backup and recovery and such is satisfactorily worked out. They are the major problems, but I am looking for advice on just the fileserver question. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

login: cannot cd /home/user
I copied my root file system onto a seperate partition. When I try to boot into new partition as / I cannot login. I get the error: cannot cd /home/user When I boot normally and chroot into the new partition and run login I get: cannot determine tty name I copied devices ( and everything else ) with `cp -a` I have done this before many times without a problem. What should I be looking at to understand what is happening? ~Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
exim security = unprivileged
I have just reconfigured exim to run with the security = unprivileged option as described here: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.30/doc/html/spec_55.html#SEC922 This is working fine, with exim owning the mailboxes. None of my local_parts have system accounts. Now I find that the pop3 daemon I use, popa3d, will not allow delivery without system accounts. Can you recommend a pop3 server to use for this configuration? There are a number which say that they do not require system accounts, but I can't find any documentation for any of them which describes how to set the uid for the pop3 server after authentication without an account. I have been looking at: cyrus cucipop teapop courier I only manage mail in the hundreds per day so high performance is not a requirement. I am much more interested in security then performance at any rate. Thanks, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
compile one kernel module
I is possible to compile just a single kernel module and copy it to /lib/modules by hand and have it work? Sometimes with new hardware I end up trial and error compiling to see what will work. Just doing a `make modules modules_install` works, but it would be nice to have to recompile everything to get a single module added. How would I go about this? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unidentified subject!
I would like to change which controllers my disks are on, but when I do my system no longer boots. I have three ide drives on hde, hdi, and hdk. My main system is completely on hdk. I boot into hdk. If I move the other two drives I can no longer boot into hdk. Depending on where I move the other drives I get one of two results when I try to boot into hdk again. 1. Usually I get 'L 01 01 01 01 01 01...' Repeating O1's forever. For instance, this happens if I simply remove one of the other two drives. According to the lilo users guide "this shouldn't happen" 2. Sometimes I get "Not a System Disk", that is, I don't even get lilo started. For instance, this happens if I move hde->hdi and hdi->hda. hde and hdg are an off board promise controller. I would like to remove this controller, but without it my system will not boot. I realize that once I get this working I will need to modify /etc/fstab.

iptables not logging (much)
I cannot get my iptables firewall to log syslog.conf: kern.* -/var/log/kern.log lsmod shows ipt_LOG moduled loaded I created this test "firewall" in an attempt to log something iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination LOGall -- anywhere anywhere LOG level emerg Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination LOGall -- anywhere anywhere LOG level emerg ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination LOGall -- anywhere anywhere LOG level emerg I get nothing in the logs. However, some firewall logging does work. For instance I can log martians with: for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/log_martians; do echo 1 > $f done Any ideas on how to get logging to work? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
