mirroring servers over internet
Is it possible to sync two servers connected over the internet? I want to sync the home-dirs of my users and there should be a very low delay to sync files (some seconds or less). It should also be possible to exclude files (on name, user, group, permissions). Is this possible? Oliver
linuxconf
Hi! Does anyone use linuxconf with slink? Is it save to install linuxconf and use linuxconf? (I found a deb in ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/project/experimental/) Oliver
Apt - Segmentation fault (Slink)
Hi! Apt segfaults before it's finished. I can install packages, but I'm not sure if apt update the package database. Not all packages are up-to-date, maybe there is a conflict with an old package, but I don't want to install new packages when apt segfaults. Oliver
Apache 1.3.3 rotating logfiles
Hello! Most of my Apache logfiles don't rotate. I think all logfiles which are defined in external file which is included (via Include) in httpd.conf don't rotate. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Oliver
Re: Where is kernel 2.2.0?
What is the point of doing this? I've always compiled my own kernels from source, in both RedHat and Debian, and never felt the need to use either .rpm or .deb versions. Perhaps it's because I don't use lilo but prefer loadlin. Compiling a kernel is not a problem, but I only installed the base system and don't want to manual download all the stuff I need to compile the kernel (12 MB kernel sources, egcs, etc...). I want to install add. packages via apt and ISDN, but the ISDN configuration doesn't work and maybe the 2.2.1 kernel fix this problem. But I don't want to download 12 MB kernel sources to find out that the 2.2.1 kernel doesn't fix it. :-) Oliver
Re: Where is kernel 2.2.0?
The kernel-source is available as debs from ftp://ftp.netgod.bnet/linux/v2.2 . I don't know if they are official packages, but at least they're debs. I installed the kernel-image*.deb, but there are many modules missing (vfat, hpfs, hisax,...). If I compile the kernel-source deb, could I compile these missing modules? But I don't like to compile the kernel. Is there a 2.2 kernel-image deb available with hisax and vfat modules?
Re: [Debian]: isdn ppp bind: Can't find usable ippp device
Wie sieht es denn beim Hochfahren des Rechners aus? Bekommst Du da eine Fehlermeldung, wie z.B. die, das eine Datei noch nicht konfiguriert wurde? Oder die, dass Deine Karte mit den Bytes ff und ?? arbeitet? Nö, eigentlich nicht. Ich hatte auch schon früher mal Debian und Isdnutils zum laufen bekommen und habe damals eigentlich auch nichts anders genacht. Kann es vielleicht mit dem 2.0.36er Kernel zusammenhängen? Wenn ich jetzt $ isdnctrl dial ippp0 eingebe erscheint folgende Fehlermeldung: isdn_ppp_bind: Can't find usable ippp device
FP-Extensions Premature end of script headers: /home/user/www/_vti_bin/shtml.exe
I have installed the Frontpage Extensions without the Apache-FP patch (don't want to patch Apache for that), but suexec seems to work. I get the following error in the error_log file: Premature end of script headers: /home/user/www/_vti_bin/shtml.exe Any idea what could be wrong with my installation? (Never used Frontpage before).

substitute strings in text files (links in html files)
Hello! How could I substitute a string (links) in html files with standard Linux (debian) tools? i.e. I want to change every http://one.domain.com in http://two.domain.com in some files and files in subdirs. Oliver
Security of Samba
Hello! Are there any security risks with samba? It would be nice if my users could update their webpages via SMB. Or is FTP the more secure alternative? Oliver
suexec
How could I use suexec with the Apache Debian-package (1.3.3)? The webpages are in $HOME/www. Oliver

Frontpage for Apache
Hi! I have some customers who asked about Frontpage Extensions. How could I install FP for Apache 1.3.3? Do I have to patch Apache or could I build a FP module? Are there security flaws with FP, what are your experiences? Or are there good alternatives to FP for my customers (I don't know FP and I don't need it). Thanks, Oliver -- \|/ \|/ @'/ .. \`@ /_| \__/ |_\ \__U_/

Re: qmail 1.03 package?
Is there a qmail 1.03 package? qmail 1.03 has been out for a long time... I don't think so, but it would be very nice. A checkpasswd package and an up-to-date ezmlm-idx package would also be very nice. -- \|/ \|/ @'/ .. \`@ /_| \__/ |_\ \__U_/

Re: qpopper and cucipop
I run an MTA, but I want a authentication for relayed mails and this is not possible with smtp. Cucipop ist faster than qpopper, but does not support XTND XMIT. So cucipop should be default and qpopper for sending mails via POP3. But I found the solution: I installed qpopper with --force-conflicts and changes the qpopper service from pop-3 to pop-2 in inetd.conf. I'm not sure you can tell qpopper to run on a port other than 110 and even if you did this would probably cause you problems since most clients don't allow you to specify a port for your pop server. One possibility would be to use ip aliasing to add another IP and have qpopper bind to the other address. This would require you to modify the source code though. Perhaps there's an easier way around your problem. Why can't you run smail/sendmail/exim/qmail?
qpopper and cucipop
Hello! Is it possible to install qpopper AND cucipop? cucipop should be the default pop3 server and qpopper should listen to another port for receiving emails (xtnd xmit).
Re: q: Web/Mail Server
1. Should I move to Apache, even if I don't need that much power? Would it be best because everyone else is running Apache and I can get better support? Do you need better support? I don't think you need Apache, but it could be wrong to install it. 2. Before I place this online, is there any suggestions anyone would make that would help secure the box before placing it online? Are there any specific packages I should not have installed? Only install what you need. I should let you know, I will have it behind a Cisco 765 ADSL Router with Firewall/Packet Filtering, I plan to filter everything coming in out and I will only allow port 80 that is coming in for the Server's IP address. This should be very secure, but I'm no expert. 3. Lastly, I would also like to use it as a Mail Server. Should I just use Sendmail? or is there another package that would be easier to use and manage? Do you know sendmail. If you don't, use another MTA. I think Exim or qmail (avail. as source package) are good choices. I don't know Smail.
Apache mod_ssl
Hello! Is there a Apache mod_ssl package under development?
Re: Apache mod_ssl
No but there is apache-ssl, wich is also a debian package (in hamm), find it at www.debian.org - packages - search I think it's in the non-US section Does anyone know why it's such an old version of Apache? There should be 1.3.1/SSL in unstable (slink).

Re: /etc/named.conf
Under Debian 1.3.1 I just had a /etc/named.boot file. In Debian 2.0 ther is now also a more complicated looking /etc/named.conf file, and guess what, my nameserver is not serving the zones it should be primary for anymore. I guess this is just a RTFM issue. So could someone please tell me which FMTR? Did you update or make a new install? I guess on 1.3.1 you used bin 4.x.x and now 8.x.x. They have different configuration files. If you put your old configuration and zonefiles in /var/named, you could run bindconfig to update named.conf. Hoffe das hilft... :-)
mod_throttle
Hi! Can anybody help me with mod_throttle for Apache?
Re: /etc/named.conf
I made a new install. Debian 1.3.1 is running on another machine. Dann ist alles klar :-) I ran bindconfig, which created a new /etc/named.conf file, but also a new /var/named/boot.options file without all the zones named should act as primary server for. So I mved /var/named/boot.options.old to /var/named/boot.options, and sent named a HUP, but it still does not serve these zones as primary. Do I have to increase all the serialnumbers in each zone file also, or is the problem still somewhere else? The primaries are configured in named.conf with a new syntax (primary is now master). If you now run bindconfig, your old zones will be put in named.conf.
Re: mod_throttle
: Can anybody help me with mod_throttle for Apache? If you make clear what's causing you troubles, maybe :) What doesn't work? I don't understand the configuration. Is it possible to throttle virtual servers?
Re: mod_throttle
: I don't understand the configuration. Is it possible to throttle : virtual servers? As far as my knowledge about mod_throttle goes, that isn't possible. You can just limit the amount of traffic users on a complete system (including all the virtual hosts) are allowed to generate. Does mod_throttle use the owner of the files to calculate the amount of traffic? Every virtual server points to a user's public_html dir. If I use different users for different virtual servers, would it possible to limit the traffic per virtual server?

Re: 386SX-33 for pop3 server and proxy server
I have a 386sx-33 with: 4mb ram 100 mb hard disk 10mbit ethernet card Would this be enough for pop3 server and proxy server for a 25 node network with one dial up connection ? I think you need more than 4 MB to install Linux (or FreeBSD). Maybe FreeBSD ist an option for you, on my 8MB 486 it runs faster than Linux. It should be possible to use your machine for this. I think a 486 machine with 8 MB and a 200 MB harddisk would be better.
Re: ISDN in Debian 2.0: questions.
I am about to try my first kernel compilation ever and I'd like to know wheter ISDN support should be compiled in. I think so. You should compile the HiSax drivers in. But a current Debian kernel should have ISDN support compiled in. Moreover, is isdn4linux necessary in addition to the ISDN package that comes with Debian? This issue is not addressed in the FAQ. No, you only need the isdnutils. In the Debian documentation, I read that isdnutils is all you need to run an ISDN connection. That's right. Do you know whether isdn4linux can be compiled with the new glibc6 libraries? I don't think that a kernel depends on libraries. Can anybody suggest a card (passive, active?)? I had no problems with an old Teles S0 16.3, but had problems with a Teles PNP. All cards with an Siemens chip should work: AVM Fritzcard, Elsa, Sedlbauer,... Don't know if the current Teles cards works. Look at the isdn4linux FAQ and in newsgroups (I think there is alt.de.isdn4linux newsgroup - use www.dejanews.com) Does one use plain PPP to connect, or Seyon, or a similar communication program? There is a ipppd for synchronous PPP in the isdnutils package. tschüß, Oliver
