hotplug netwotk interfaces
Hi Is it somehow possible to enable a kind of hotplug with the debian interfaces system? If i configure my eth0 device like: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp and i have no network cable pluged in while im starting my laptop then it tries to fetch an ip at startup and if there is no connection it tries very long till it gives up. Is there a config method that this process is completly backgrounded? The interface should always be activce and as soon as i plug a cable in it should gather an IP imediatly (like on Win2k). Second case: wireless card. If we have a pcmcia wireless card and plug it into a running system a new interface is created. Is there a method to let the debian interface system react on that? As soon as i plug in my wireless card it should set it up and gather an IP via dhcp. I cant just enter that device into the interfaces file because it does not exist while the card is not pluged in. cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini [EMAIL PROTECTED] Annoyed about M$ Windows?

Time is runnign too fast
Hi I have a problem on my laptop. Almost every time its running on batteries the time runs twice or more as fast as it should. It almost everytime happens if i plug AC on while its running... Im sure thats a stepping problem (laptops runns at higher freq with ac plugged in). Is there a way to fix this. Linux has to know when the CPU stepps to recalculate the time.

[Linux 2.6] racoon questions
Hi
This is a little OT for debian-user but i hope here are some with the native
kernel 2.5/2.6 implementation of IPSec
Im not sure if i got the real purpose of racoon.
I have here debian unstable with kernel 2.6.0-test8 and ipsec-tools 0.2.2
installed. I'd like to establish a VPN connection to my University via the
native Ipsec stack and the kame tools.
The university providides a CISCO VPN userspace programm to do that. This
vpnclient doesn not work with Kernel 2.5/2.6
My question: Are the KAME tools (especially racoon) able to do the same thing
as vpnclient from cisco?
I red many guides and tried many configs but never got it worked. I even never
got racoon to try to establish a ipsec connection.
Is racoon only here to do vpn between 2 racoons or also normal VPN
connections like vpnclient from CISCO?
The only info i have from my Univerity are the vpn-servername, my username and
my password. There are no certs or such stuff.
I'll append my config files. racoon.out holds the output of racoon -F As you
can see there is no error but i can ping vpn-cluster.ethz.ch as long as i
want racoon does nothing... ipsec is a script wich sets the security
policies.
cheers,
Raffaele

Kernel 2.6: Using an USB mouse and an touchpad at the same time
Hi I have kernel version 2.6-test6 installed on my Dell Inspiron 5150. I can access my USB mouse via /dev/input/mice and my touchpad via the event device and a special Xfree86 driver for the touchpad. I'm wondering if some of u guys have managed to get the touchpad and the USB mouse working at the same time. Im thinking of a situation like in Win32 systems where i can move the cursor with the mouse and the touchpad at the same time. Its annoying to restart X server with another config only because i plugged or unplugegd my USB mouse. The difficoulty is deffinitly that we are talking about more than one interface (mice and eventX). In kernel 2.6 all devices were mapped through the standart ps2 device /dev/ psaux. This old fashioned interface is no more present in the new kernel. Every input is now managed via HID. Any solutions/suggestions? cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini [EMAIL PROTECTED] Annoyed about M$ Windows? Don't worry. Try Linux!

confused about /dev/input/mice
Hi Im not sure if I got that right. Every mouce device accessed through HID can be accessed via /dev/input mice. Is that right? Im experiencing some problems here. I try to setup my laptop wich has an internal touchpad, connected via PS/2, and an external Logitech mouse connected via USB. I run a debian kernel 2.6.0-test4 here. Getting the USB mouse to work was no problem: loading the uhci_hcd.ko and the hid.ko kobject file and the mouse worked perfectly and i can use it via /dev/input/mice. My problem is the touchpad. HID successfully detect it if i insert psmouse.ko i get: Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Firware: 5.9 Sensor: 37 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits - multifinger detection - palm detection input: Synaptics Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1 I can do on my touchpad what i want the cursor does not move. Whats the problem here? Should the touchpad be accessed via another node? Or isn't it propper detected? I thought /dev/input/mice should make the mouce transparent to userspace programms like X or gpm... cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini [EMAIL PROTECTED] Annoyed about M$ Windows? Don't worry.

It is a part of input and i cant find any section of the traditional input system in the 2.6 kernel configuration. /dev/psaux is only used by input as a somewaht clone of /dev/input/mice. That means that it also outputs the data from my USB mouse and not the ps2 touchpad. The problem must be somewhere else. The input system detects my ps2 touchpad i get no error message somewhere... i dont know if i have to switch somehow between these devices... very strange. -- Raffaele Sandrini [EMAIL PROTECTED] Annoyed about M$ Windows?

Easy way to share deb files?
Hi Im looking for an easy method to share debian files. Im running several sid machines here. I used to upgrade them every week. Till now i did a dist-upgrade on evey machine wich the downloads all the packages on its own. All these machines have many identical packages installed. Since APT saves each deb file it downloads it would be cool to do the upgrade the one machine and let the others use that one as source and try to get all packages from there and only download packages wich are not avail on the first machine...

Kernel problem using Dell Laptop
Hi I experience some problems installing Linux on an Dell Inspiron 5150. I used the cd image from http://people.debian.org/~blade/XFS-Install/ to get XFS support. This image uses an altered 2.4.20-bf24 kernel. With it everithing works fine. But my laptop has an /*%(ç(/%ç*(// Broadcom 4400 eth adapter buitin wich is supportet from kernel version = 2.4.22. So i took the kernel config from the kernel from the XFS image and built a 2.4.22 kernel with the kernelpackage. The only thing i changed was to build the bcm4400 driver as a module. i installed the debs (via CD) on my laptop. After restart i get the following message (without a kernel panic) and the kernel stops: cpu: 0, clocks 0, slice 0 i have no idea what this means since the cpu setting is set to 486... BTW: i have tried to compile a module version of the bcm4400 driver for the 2.4.20-bf24-xfs kernel but when i send data to the netowork i get a kernel panic. cheer, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini [EMAIL PROTECTED] Annoyed about M$ Windows?

User Mangment: LDAP, AFS, Kerberos
Hi I'm thinking about creating a central managed user and data system here. It should use AFS (OpenAFS) as virtual filesystem and LDAP (OpenLDAP) as User and Comuter info Database. I tried this earlier but it ended in more than one user database (LDAP and AFS (kerberos 4)). I thought of using Kerberos 5 as login and credentials manager because its very secure. I am not sure if it is possible for this three compnents (AFS,LDAP and Kerberos 5) to interact together using LDAP as central infobase. M$ has managed to get that to work with its AD and Login system and DFS wich is all kerberos 5 based. There are several issues wich need to be thought about: - Is there a need for Kerberos 5? Is LDAP over SSL not equal secure? - Is there a possiblity to trim OpenAFS to LDAP so that it not uses its own userdatabases? - If Kerberos 5 is needed is there a way to trim it to LDAP? The system should be the most secure and the most simple one :)). The more complex a system gets the more points of attac there are.

Getting original GLX back
Hi Some time ago i changed in my XFree enviroment to the vendor driver nvidia (Xfree driver is nv). This driver installes its own GLX to gain access to hardware OGL functions. Now i switched back to nv wich has no hardware support. I had to disable GLX in the XFConfig because of binary incompatibility between the open source driver and the non-free GLX (obvious :) ). Without GLX im not able to run OGL at the moment not even Software driven OGL. How can i get my old GLX back? Of wichpacket is it part of? MESA?

ACPI on Debian
Hi Was someone here able to use ACPI on Debian or any other Linux flawlessly? My Win2k lets me set my PC to a compleet sleep/standby state... (S3). I wanted that too for my Debian here. I read some docs about ACPI on Linux and rebuilt my kernel where i enabled ACPI and disabled APM. My Chip support ACPI and passes the blacklist of the ACPI driver. However i cant use ACPI well here. I can echo to /proc/acpi/sleep anything i wont and get no or unusefull results. S1 - noting happens S3 - nothing happens (ok not supportet by 2.4 kernel) S4 - noting happens S5 - my system looses all its power and resetts (and restarts) I think at least with S4 i should be able to set my system to a suspend state... Anyone information on this? cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini [EMAIL PROTECTED] Annoyed about M$ Windows? Don't worry. Try Linux!

PS/2 and IMPS/2 mice
Hi I did several tests here with our different PS/2 mice. I had the problem, that not every mouse was usable trough XFree86 with the same config. I found out that i am able to use every PS/2 mouse with eather ther PS/2 driver or the IMPS/2 driver (im talking about the Protocol option in the XF86Config of Xfree 4.2.1). All older mice _only_ worked with the PS/2 driver and all newer mouse (logitech weel mouse, M$ weel mouse and co) worked _only_ with the IMPS/2 Driver. That means that i am not abel to use the PS/2 driver vor every mouse. As we have _many_ systems here and i don't want to stick a mouse deffinitly to a computer I need something wich is able to probe if there is a newer or older mouese connected to the system and wrtites the correct values to the XF86Config. Is there something like that in the Debian dirsti wich could be automatically run on sartup?

Centralized user-database: LDAP vs. KerberosV5 vs. AFS
Hi I try to evaluate wich is THE user database and login system. I read many docs and tried it for myself. I ask here for your thoughts about that. First some of mine: LDAP: This is deffinitly a cool method. Its very simple and very secure due its high SSL encryption. And through the possibility of NSS_LDAP virtually every application will automatically support that and due the nature of LDAP you are able to store all sort of information about the user in the LDAP tree. KerberosV5: Also a somewhat simple method. Also (very) secure. Has a different approach (its ticket system). Is fully compatible with AFS. Perhapps compatible with other systems like Win32. But you still need a passwd file to store special user data, right? AFS: The old approach. Somewhat secure. Is also (no, really? :-) ) compatible with AFS. It uses a modified Krbv4 system. It should be also very protable through all sorts of Unixes and Win32. Need of a passwd file. Conclusion: Out of this information i would prefer the LDAP Approach but what is if you want to use AFS as distributed filesystem and LDAP as user-database? Then you need to maintain 2 user-databases or is there a way to get AFS working with LDAP? You see, there are lots of points to view at! Have i missed an important other approach?

If root is squashed to nobody he wont be able to any of the files because they owned by root. You have /path/to/system which implies that you have multiple system images there.

Re: Why bash exports variables implicitly?

I believe this wasn't used to be like that. Did the default behavior changed or is there some configuration file for this behavior? That behaviour is correct. You type prinf $MYVAR. But bash executes printf testing. I checked it wrong. If u export a variable the its avalible for all sub sessions like: $ export TEST=hello $ bash $ echo $TEST hello $exit * or $ TEST=hello $ bash $ echo $TEST nothing $ exit cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini [EMAIL PROTECTED] Annoyed about M$ Windows?

ftp conf probs (netkid)
hi I got the proposission to use the standard (netkid) ftpd on this list. Its true - its much more easier to handle it. I got it working but with a litle problem: I created a new user. If i connect to it via FTP with a browser (Konqueror in my case) i get directly in the homedrive. But the url is: ftp://user@host.com/home/user. This way the user can access my root directory wich is nood good :-) To avoid this i added the user to the /etc/ftpchroot file. After that i got chroot correctly but there wasn't any files listet... i can create files but they are not visible on my brwoser (and not on a console ftp client).

In this file should be informations wherer deamons/services should be started or not. That is necessary because, as strang it sounds, there is no reason that i use a package when i install it. I don't understand why this isn't implemented in Debian bcause it would be so easy. I started now to add such options bymyself such as for mysql.

OT: GCC cross compiling
Hi,
I have a genera crosscompiling quetion:
Do i have to compile a special GCC for every source and destination platform
or can i specify the destination on the command line? (the manual is a bit
weird about that)
Do i have to compile a libc for that platform? Do i have to link staticly?
E.g:
for a app like:
int main(void) {
cout Hello World;
return 0;
}
To execute that on an ARM platform like the Nokia 9210 (Communicator) or a
Psion is it enough to compile that for the specific platform?
cheers,
