Re: Backup
Hi, Thank for the recommendation.

Its been use for about 5 years (every night) without a problem. I've used 'tar' and 'dump' and both work just fine. I'll second the Surestore recommendation. I've got a 2GB DAT which has been used a little less frequently g, but does a great job. Note that if you plan on aquiring more than about 15 tapes, the cost point between DAT and Travan/QIC breaks down about even. DAT is solid, dependable, proven technology, and the media are cheap and reusable. Just what you're looking for in a backup. The downside is that capacity, relative to today's drive sizes, is somewhat limited. I can get ~4GB compressed, which works for me, but you'll have to look at higher capacity tape drives for your 9-40GB disks out now. Whether or not the software appends or not, is in part predicated on where the tape is when the run gets going. Device /dev/nst0 doesn't rewind, while /dev/st0 does. If the backup software always rewinds, and doesn't search for an EOF marker before writing again (i.e. knows to append) you'll be out of luck. If you use commercial software, check the specs first. If you write a simple 'tar' script, you can do what you want. On this. Unless you have specific requirements to meet (eg: management can't keep from fucking with a technical decision), I'd choose the simplest backup methods possible. My own local backup script is: #!/bin/bash # Create backups of /etc, /home, /usr/local, and... mt rewind tar cvf /dev/nst0 /etc tar cvf /dev/nst0 /home tar cvf /dev/nst0 /usr/local # and selected /var directories tar cvf /dev/nst0 /var/backups tar cvf /dev/nst0 /var/cache/apt tar cvf /dev/nst0 /var/lib tar cvf /dev/nst0 /var/log tar cvf /dev/nst0 /var/www mt rewoffl Tar isn't the sexiest thing out there (honey is g), but damned if it doesn't work, and if the tools for accessing archives aren't available on every flavor of Unix, and most lesser operating systems, not to mention boot, rescue, and minimal installations of Linux. You *will* be able to get at your data. Other general recommendations -- dump, cpio, and apio. I'd generally *avoid* using an integrated backup management solution -- far less portable, and you may *not* be able to get at your data, unless you are part of a large and well-supported organization.

Re: SSH again!
Hi all, Thanks for all the replies. I believed that I got it to work somehow. Need to redo the steps again to make sure. Still, do not quite understand how all this work: 1. Can one steal/copy the *.pub keys and use it to logon? 2. It seemed to me that if I do not remember/supply the correct passphrase when run ssh, it would still allow me to log on using the regular account/password. 3. Even if I do not have the *.pub keys and I could still log on the server via the regular login/password! I thought that if not public key were given to the client, the client shall not be able to log on regardless whether the client has or does not have the regular login/password. Otherwise, what is the point of having the key or not having the key? Last, how do I generate the key from a windows/nt machine? I'm trying to login from an windows / nt as well. Thanks!

SSH again!
hi All, I'm still confused about the keys file. I ran the ssh-keygen on machine-1 with passphrase and it created two files in $HOME/.ssh/identify $HOME/.ssh/identify.pub I copy the identify.pub to machine-2:$HOME/.ssh/m1.key on machine-2, I ran the command on machine-2 to logon machin-1: ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/m1.key machine-1 and I got this message: The authenticity of host'machine-1' can't be established. Key fingerprint is ... Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no) If I replied yes, it will create a file in $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts and I'll be able to connect after the supplying the login password (no the passphrase from the ssh-keygen) to the login prompt. If I ran the ssh without specifying the -i m1.key, I can still logon to the machine-1. So my question is that what are the keyfile(s) used for? Or did I do something stupid ? Thanks in advance! --- tcp
Re: SSH again!
Hi all, Don't I suppose to get two prompts for two passwords? One from the key and one from the login?

Yeah, basically you need to rename that identity.pub file to authorized_keys on their other end as far as I remember. By the way, I don't really know what you're trying to do but if you did enter a passphrase you will not then be able to ssh or scp to that host without entering a password. I was just thinking that perhaps you're trying to set up the whole thing so that you are not prompted for a password at all, so you can run scripts remotely.

Hi, Does IOMEGA JAZ 2GB EXT SCSI DRIVE work well in Debian or Linux in general? Anything should I be aware of before go out and buy the JAZ drive? TIA --- tcp
Re: IOmega
Hi All, Thank you for you comments about the JAZ. This what I afraid about. I was going to use it for mirror the Debian distribution as well as backup device. I thought JAZ would be better than SyJET which I have quite a few. This SyJET would have the same symptoms that you described. It sometime would cause system to have problem reading other scsi device while the SyJET just sit there do nothing nor mounted. For weeks, I thought it was scsi controller, the harddrive and even CDR recorder until one day I loaned the SyJET to my friend for couple weeks. Within this couple weeks that the SyJET was not connected, I did not experience any problems... Aaron Solochek wrote: Unfortunately, I must agree with this. I have had a 2gb jaz for 1.5 years or so. I've replaced all of my disks twice, and the drive 4 times. Granted, iomega is good about replacing the stuff, paying shipping both ways and such, and when the disks and/or drive fails, you only lose a few files, it is a big pain in the butt. I still have my jaz drive, I use it seldomly. When it does work, which, for fairness, is most of the time, it is great, but don't bank on being able to recover the media. I use it as temporary space. Iomega did tell me though that the problem could be related to a compatibility with my adaptec 2940u2w, which at the time was an embedded controller. They had patches avalible, or, maybe adaptec had patches avalible, but it didn't matter anyways, since they were only for the retail 2940. -Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED] kmself@ix.netcom.com wrote: On Wed, Feb 23, 2000 at 09:35:18AM -0600, Timothy C. Phan wrote: Hi, Does IOMEGA JAZ 2GB EXT SCSI DRIVE work well in Debian or Linux in general? Anything should I be aware of before go out and buy the JAZ drive? No. It does not. It will work. For a while. Jaz is essentially just another SCSI device. However neither the media nor the drives are reliable under long (or short) term use, in my experience. My experience is a Jaz drive and six disks purchased since 1997. I've replaced the drive three times, as well as four disks. Under Linux (RH 4.2, 5.0, 5.2, and Debian Potato), any media ultimately starts returning sense read (or is it read sense?) errors after time. When these get sufficiently bad, the system locks up. I recently asked an open session at BALUG what I could do to improve operability of the drive under Linux. The consensus response was tell us how far you can throw it. For a price-storage ratio, a large EIDE drive is going to be a much better investment -- 10-40 GB for roughly the cost of 2-3 GB of Jaz storage. For archival and backup, I'd recommend tape backup (I use an HP Surestore DAT 2GB), or CD-W. For removable, reusable storage, the Zip is a de facto standard (though I'll refuse to spend another dime on Iomega), the Imation Superdisk allows transfer of up to 120 MB at a pop and is compatible with existing 3.5 ff diskettes. If you have a budget, you might want to evaluate MO (magneto-optical) devices. In a roughly 3.5 ff they offer 1GB of storage, though the double-sided devices only offer access to one side at a time. Read/write performance is significantly slower than pure magnetic media, though faster (IIRC) than CD-ROM. In particular, the write cycle requires three passes (thermal, write, verify). Massive components make random access seek times very high, though sequential read performance is much better. MO reliability is quite high. Drive and media are relatively expensive. Media are reusable, though most are rated for only a few hundred write/rewrite cycles. Particularly telling: reading through Wired's masthead credits a couple of years back, I noted that though ad space was dominated by Iomega, their internal storage solution was MO. -- Karsten M.

Re: rebuild kernel and modules
Hi Lee, So, when I do a dpkg -i kernel_image, would this allowed me to install the modules one by one or it would just install all the modules that I configure to build before rebuilding the kernel? Secondly, when I installed the module during the fresh installation, I selected a several modules and the system would prompt me for some command line options to the modules that I selected, what are the available options?

Rod... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 28, 1999 1:38 PM To: debian-user Subject: Re: java Thanks for your help. I'm not short of JDKs (on CDs and on the Win95 half of my hard drive), but I don't know my way around Debian yet. I presume I would need some Debian program (jdk1.1-dev?) to install the JDK. I didn't find anything linux-specific on the javasoft site. Would I have to upgrade (from hamm) to slink for this? (I seem to be years away from getting my internet connection working.)

Do I have to have Netscape on my limited partition to see what it looks like? dselect suggests a jvm but doesn't offer one. Von: Carl Mummert [EMAIL PROTECTED] You probably should get the jdk from sun; you can install it in /usr/local, or there is a debian package that takes the tarball from /tmp and installs it for you. Once yu have that, you can use the 'appletviewer' program to see applets, without needing any html or even a webserver. The JDK will provide the jvm for you to test java programs (of the non-applet kind) if you write them. Von: Shao Zhang [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you have installed jdk1.1 and jdk1.1-dev in slink, then you should have the program appletviewer. Can this do the job for you?? If it doesn't, let me know exactly what you want... I am sure there will be a solution... -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Re: SCSI Controller
Hi, Which motherboard has the BusLogic on board? Thanks! Anders Hammarquist wrote: I'm in the middle of getting a new PII (300MHz +) system.

Thanks! -- Timothy C. Phan Intelligence Quest Research, INC. There are many AGP cards currently supported by XFree86. There are also a few more available through special servers such as S.u.S.E's Elsa_GLoria server for cards like mine (Diamond Permedia 2). You should check out the supported video cards list in the XFree86 3.3.2 documentation and also S.u.S.E's supported video cards list. You can find these lists at http://www.xfree86.org and http://www.suse.com. Just follow the links. There are no special configurations needed for AGP cards either.

Hi, It was my mistake. It should be SyJET drive.
