adduser: what is the difference between --disabled-password and --disabled-login
adduser(8) states that
With the --disabled-login option, the account will be created but
will be disabled until a password is set. The --disabled-password
option will not set a password, but login are still possible for
example through SSH RSA keys.
I wonder what is the difference? Alternatively, how adduser accomplish
that? The relevant source lines seem to be:
} elsif ($arg eq --disabled-password) {
$ask_passwd = 0;
$disabled_login = 0;
} elsif ($arg eq --disabled-login) {
$ask_passwd = 0;
$disabled_login = 1;
}
if ($ask_passwd) {

Fork, session leader and printing to stdout
What will happen when a daemon process with no controlling terminal
tries to print to its stdout?
More specifically, consider the following pseudo code:
int main(void)
{
pid_t pid;
/* Assume that at this point stdin, stdout and stderr are open
* because the process was created by the shell.
*/
if( (pid = fork()) 0 )
return FORK_FAILED;
else {/* Child Process - Continue Execution */
fclose(stdin);
fclose(stderr);
setsid(); /* become session leader */
chdir(/); /* change working directory */
umask(0); /* clear the file mode creation mask */
printf(No controlling terminal. What will happen here?)
return OK;
} else {
/* Parent Process - Exit Return Control */
exit(0);
}
No, this is no homework. Just trying to get a complete answer,
hopefully with a bit of wider overview, without falling to some corner
case when I am trying to get the answer by myself.

Is there a problem with the Debian mirror on mirrors.kernel.org?
I have two machines running dselect update On one of them, /etc/apt/sources.list points to mirrors.kernel.org while on the other, /etc/apt/sources.list points to http.us.debian.org.

Re: NFS permissions question
On Tue, Nov 16, 2004 at 02:01:02PM -0500, Christian Convey wrote: My understanding of NFS permissions is that for any file appearing on an NFS share, the username/uid and groupname/gid mappings should (ideally) be identical on both the NFS client and the NFS server. So consider my home situation: I'm running two computers, each with local security files. I have four users: alvin, benny, charles, and david. I have several groups: users and chefs and busboys. I want to define an NFS share that alvin and benny can use. My *expectation* at the time I'm setting this up is that any files appearing on those shares will have a group-owner of chefs. So I go through, and ensure that alvin and benny each have the same uid on both computers. I go through and ensure that chefs has the same gid on both computers. Is there a good way for me to ensure that alvin doesn't create, on the shares, a file owned by the busboys group? I believe that the only way for alvin to create those files is by pretending he has the busboys permission. If there is no way he can have those permissions without NFS on any of the machines then he shouldn't be able to create those files while NFS is running. Or so I think. As far as I know, permissions is a weak point for NFS. (The reason I don't want this to happen is that I've taken no steps to ensure that both computers have the same groupid for the busboys group. I don't want the resulting permissions confusion to ensue.) As far as I know, this is not recommended. Since permissions is a weak point of NFS, the recommended way to go is to have exactly the same id/gid on any participating machine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I've currently set fsck to run pretty much on every other boot. And just about every time it runs , it informs me that it fixed file system errors and reboots the system. Are you shutting down the system properly? I mean, do you use the shutdown command or one of its derivative? I hope this isn't too dumb. After all, you could be totally new to the system. So this problem has a history. I had previously been seeing corruption in the /dev directory and only the /dev directory. Duplicate file names, files which could not be deleted, etc... The only way to fix was to reboot with a rescue disk and wipe the /dev directory and start over. Unfortunately I had to do this several times. I had such a behavior too a long time ago. In my case this was with a SCSI disks. I do not know why the problem went away. It could be a kernel issue, and I used several kernel versions since then. Maybe the steps that I took, which are similar to what you have done, managed to make the problem go away. 1. the /dev directory seems to be somewhat dynamic, could there be a debian start-up script which is/was somehow corrupting the /dev directory ? 2.4 had a dynamic device manager. As far as I know it is now obsolete, and Debian never used it by default. What kernel are you using? 2. Do I have bad blocks on the disk ? And how would I check this? Again, I've seen no other evidence whatsoever of flaky disk behavior ? There is a badblocks utility. I not sure if this is the right name. Should be close. I believe the modern disks tries to fix those problems in a transparent manner. 3. Could this be a bug in fsck ? Why doesn't fsck actually tell me what the errors are !! It just says fixed them - rebooting. isn't this a Bad Thing (TM) ? This is the default behavior when fsck finds errors in the root fs. I haven't tried to change that.

By problems I mean that apt starts downloading all the debs again,

Beside looking at the documentation you might start with only copying
the files to the new location, as opposed to moving them. Hopefully this

Resier-FS and nfs.
2.6.4's CONFIG_REISERFS_FS says that
Additional patches are needed for NFS and quotas, please see
http://www.namesys.com/ for links.
I couldn't find those links. Perhaps I didn't search throughly. In
addition, a quick googling suggests that there are/were issues with the
triplet {nfs, lvm, journaling fs}.
Any comments? Do the other journaling fs better then reiser when nfs,
lvm and quotas support are the _main criteria_ for choosing the fs?

Re: sarge installer ver. 03/10/2004
I didn't follow the whole thread, so I hope the following is meaningful. I also believe I had a similar problem and got help on debian-boot. In my case the reason that the kernel installation, and, more precisely, mkinitrd failed is that there is/was a bug with etc/fstab in the partitioner. What I did is the following: 1. Immediately before the installation of base I executed a shell. This option is at the bottom of the expert version. I don't know whether the regular (linux) version has it. 2. Within the shell, the command cat target/etc/fstab failed. So one has to issue /usr/lib/partconf/mkfstab 3. Exit the shell and continue with the installation of the boot system. Thank to Petter Reinholdtsen from http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/debian-boot-200403/msg01591.html and to anyone working on the d-i. -- If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.

Can dselect display get shown on a serial console?
1. I am trying to run dselect on a serial console. Yet it seems that `only ascii' screens like the main menu (the one with the possible actions to choose from) and the screen where one can actually see the installation process (that is the screen that is shown after selecting I from the main menu) gets displayed properly. Some other screens, like the unfulfilled dependencies screens are sometimes cluttered with other characters. In particular, the space character is replaced by something else. Is this a matter of correctly setting the terminal and if so what do I need to do? 2. Actually, my setup is more complicated. I ssh from machine A to machine B. On machine B I run screen. In one window of screen I run minicom, which connect to machine C. And on minicom display I get the terminal on which I run dselect. What do I need to do to get proper display of dselect? It should be noted that debconf has a proper display on the terminal that was obtained by minicom. For example, I get blue background and nice windows. -- If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.

This system has a NCR53C710 SCSI controller with 2 disks (1G and 4,5G) connected to it. There's also a CDROM on the SCSI chain. Both disks and the CDrom work fine under DOS (with the appropriate drivers). When starting the install I do so from a small DOS (6.22) partition on the 1G disk starting with loadlin from a batch-file made from boot.bat (from \install of the first Woody CD). I'm booting the kernel from kernel-image-2.4.16-386_2.4.16-1. Using another Linux machine I changed the installation ramdisk to contain the following modules from this kernel-image package: /lib/modules/2.4.16-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/sim710.o (for the SCSI controller). /lib/modules/2.4.16-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o (SCSI midlevel drivers right?) /lib/modules/2.4.16-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.o (for SCSI disk support). /lib/modules/2.4.16-386/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o (for the NIC on the motherboard) After the Configuring the Keyboard step I switch to the second console and do: insmod scsi_mod insmod sim710 sim710=addr:0x8000 irq:11 ?nsmod sd_mod and verify with dmesg the SCSI disks are recognized by the kernel. I can see the disks, make partitions on them etc. If I return to the Installation menu to initialize and activate swap and to initialize the root partition, it still says that there are no disks. I suggests the Preload essential modules from floppy step. I tried this but it does not recognize the floppy either, that's why I started putting together my own installation ram-disk in the first place. I also tried restarting the installation system to get it to recognize the disks and partitions. So my question is: Which command or action can I execute to make the installation system recognize the disks/partitions? Or do I need more modules? A way to bypass the problem might be to replace the kernel of the installation media with another one.

Loadlin fails where lilo succeeds.
initrd was made while the deb for the self prepared kernel-image-2.6.0-test2 package was installed. Lilo boots fine. Yet when launching loadlin, and activating an identical kernel image and initrd like the ones that are used with lilo, I get: [ looks like the expected boot process ] mknod: when creating special files, major and minor device numbers must be specified. Try `mknod --help' for more information.

No such file Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! Why when booting with lilo the fact that the ext3 module is not there causes it to continue with ext2 while this is not the case for loadlin? What component is mainly responsible: loadlin, mkinitrd or the kernel? Both lilo and loadlin can boot with 2.4.21 and an initrd that was made for that kernel.

That of course doesn't mean that there is not any. and how I might identify packages for source build only? You might start with the Build fields of the debian/control file. However those fields are likely to mention only immediate dependencies, not packages that are dependencies for those that are mentioned. In addition, there are the build-essential packages that are assumed to be available. As such, they don't need to be mentioned in the Build fields, even if they are first level dependencies. Yet I believe that there is an apt-build utility which target your question. It could be that it also has a --simulation flag. However I have only heard about apt-build, never used it myself. It could be that I even don't remember correctly its name. In case you have good network access and you are not tight with disk space you might look at pbuilder. Hand tools for building debs from source is dpkg-buildpackage and friends. The devscripts automates the dpkg-buildpackage process but messing with the build dependencies is not in their jurisdiction. An example might be to change XFree and my Window Manager to compiled packages to take advantage of the chipset graphics instructions. -- Shaul Karl,shaul @ actcom . net . il -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The docs under /usr/share/doc/iptables/html about your questions are not clear enough for my taste. Still, they are basic and one should probably look at it. When a packet comes from the Internet with destination one of the computers on the local lan, which route does it take? My understanding is that it goes through PREROUTING, FORWARD and then POSTROUTING. Is it put straight away through the FORWARD chain or does it go through the INPUT chain first? It is put through the FORWARD chain immediately after it has pass the PREROUTING chain. In particular, it never goes through the INPUT chain. And when does the addresstanslation take place?

Only packets that are generated by the firewall machine will go through that machine OUTPUT chain. Am I correct when a packet from the local lan wants to go to the gateway it goes straight through to the INPUT chain, gets processed and goes to the OUTPUT? You are wrong. The path for the firewall (== gateway ?) machine is PREROUTING - FORWARD - POSTROUTING. And am I correct if I say that when I packet from the internet wants to go to the static ip (e.g. apache running on the firewall) it is: INPUT; process; OUPUT?

Maybe I should ask a more primitive question. What is 'deb-src' for? I thought it was to provide the source code of a deb package and allow the end user to subsequently build a CPU specific or slightly modified (configuration parameters) .deb file for installation onto their own Debian installation. That is one reason for deb-src. Others might be to comply with the license which requires the distributer to let the user have the source, to help modifications and further development of the software and so on. Still, if one wants to build a deb one way is to follow what was written above about the modification of the source. As it is, the debian source packages usually don't have out of the box facilities to help the end user build an optimized package for his machine. A user that want to use the source for this end is welcomed but he will have to know what he is doing. -- Shaul Karl,shaul @ actcom . net . il -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Your proposal has some side effects which might be undesirable. More
specifically, with your proposal MY_ENV will be set until you
explicitly unset it or exit the shell. With what I tried to do, MY_ENV
will only be set for the following command. There will be no need to
explicitly unset it or exit the shell in order for it to disappear
afterwards. In addition, the construct I am trying to use is a well
known construct and the man page says it should work. Is it a bug?
Can you try on your machine the line that I have asked about and see
if that is working for you? What version of bash are you using?
