Re: multihomed linux box
sorry bout the long delay my mail server decided to die on me a couple days ago..copy/pasted your reply from the archives. GNU Zebra :) i'll check that out. Oh, and I have good news: in my *limited* testing, your trick with the metrics works fine: I remotely disabled one of the internet connections at work, and the Linux firewall *automatically* switched over to use one of the other internet connections. Thanks to the magic of policy routing I sayed in contact with the firewall the whole time :) i didn't. i just tried it. I do, however, have rp_filter turned off (ie I have spoofprotect=no in /etc/network/options). i tried that too. my config iface eth0 inet static address 10.121.110.35 netmask 255.255.255.224 network 10.121.110.0 broadcast 10.121.110.255 gateway 10.121.110.33 iface eth1 inet static address 10.113.243.240 netmask 255.255.255.224 network 10.113.243.0 broadcast 10.113.243.255 gateway 10.113.243.225 Router A Ethernet0 address: 10.121.110.33 Router B Ethernet0 address: 10.113.243.225 i set in /etc/network/options: ip_forward=yes spoofprotect=no syncookies=yes (tried both ip_forward on and off) restarted, /etc/init.d/network restart could no longer ping 10.113.243.225, can get out onto the net via 10.121.110.33 no problem. once i unplug router A, all network activity stops. nothing can get in/out. if i did an ifconfig eth0 down, i could access 10.113.243.225 any changes to my config that you can reccomend to me? i'll see if i can find that GNU zebra thanks! nate
Re: multihomed linux box
hi ya aphro/phil this same almost exact same concept just went thru the firewall mailing list - same conclusions... their ideas is to let the routers do the NATing and Load balance the external routes using EIGRP or OSPF yeah my routers do NAT already. and i do have failover for outgoing on NAT but i haven't gotten around to figuring out how to do failover nat(which seems to require dynamic NAT) combined with static NAT. a CCNA friend of mine works with a CCNP and he said its possible and would look at my config files to see what can be done but, i really expected this to be simple in linux! so until i figure out how to somehow combine dynamic and static nat on my cisco 2500s then i cant do failover for static nat entries(which my machines are on). nate
Re: multihomed linux box - dual t1
hi ya... think theres lot's of folks with dual t1... for outgoing traffic... think the routing and metrics might work.. yeah all im concerned about is outgoing traffic. for incoming traffic... we'd need all kidns of whacky work arounds or an autonmous ip# routable by either isp... yeah, too messy for me :) - pacbell ( SF bay area ) had a major fiber ring outage about a month ago where the main fiber was cut late one afternoon ... i remember when global crossing had their fiber cut last july i think...wow..took out most of the west coast :) thanks nate
Re: multihomed linux box - dual t1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- No workarounds. Policy routing :) how does that work though? the rest of the world has to know how to route to you..without that information i cant imagine a thing in the world you can do on a server to advertise you :) i can't believe this is such a difficult routing thing for the kernel to do..the metrics should work but they don't. from the docs i see that the kernel ignores it. (it says 2.0.x kernels used it) maybe if i switched to a 2.0 kernel it would work ;) ill try that networking option you mentioned though. i wont be able to unplug that other t1 till i get back to the office tomorrow though. thanks! nate
multihomed linux box
hi. i have this setup on 2 machines Machine A \ eth0 --- Switch -- Router A(65.xxx.xx.x.x) -- Internet \ eth1 -- Switch -- Router B (63.xx.x.x.x.x) -- Internet Machine B \ eth0 -- Switch -- Router A (65.xx.x.x.x.x) -- internet \ eth1 -- Switch -- Router B (63.xx.x.x.x) -- internet what i can't figure out is how to get it so if one route fails it will take the other. i have routed installed but im not sure if it will do what i want. what i have: /sbin/route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw MY_GATEWAY metric 0 /sbin/route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw ALT_GATEWAY metric 1 so i ssh to a machien it shows me comming from MY_GATEWAY's ip network. so i unplug the router, and try to ssh. nothing. try to ping using -i, nothing. once i remove the route to MY_GATEWAY i can ping/ssh again. each interface has a different IP address. its not really multihomed in the sense that to the outside world i have 1 ip address and it can be reached through either provider (2 different T1 providers) i just want failover route setup. /etc/gateway's manpage: /etc/gateways is comprised of a series of lines, each in the following format: [ net | host ] name1 gateway name2 metric value [ passive | active | external ] The net or host keyword indicates if the route is to a network or specific host. Name1 is the name of the destination network or host. This may be a symbolic name located in /etc/networks or /etc/hosts that doesn't seem to do what i want as both networks will be '0.0.0.0'. from route's manpage: metric M set the metric field in the routing table (used by routing daemons) to M. from the looks of it routed just does RIP on linux which is not what i want. my routers are setup to use static routing, so there is no routing protocols in use. in simple: if route 1 fails i want to use route 2 instead. oh and im running debian 2.2r3/linux.2.2.19 on 1 machine and debian testing(a month or so old) with 2.2.19 on the other. maybe there is another 'routing daemon' that i could use? thanks! nate
Re: multihomed linux box
Generally BGP is the way to do it. BGP is outta the question for me..i asked cisco about that a couple months ago and they said 128MB was minimum for BGP on routers..my routers have 8MB each .. I think it can but only if your routers send out RIP packets :) If they don't, can't, or whatever then routed obviously won't work. yeah thats what it looks like. so hopefully i can find something other then routed. i dont want to enable rip, this should be a very basic routing thing. its not like it needs to be dynamic its either gateway A or B if A is down. not very complicated!! For incoming traffic (ie redundancy for a mail server) or outgoing traffic? outgoing traffic. If you want redundancy for outgoing traffic I would think your trick with routes above would work. But they don't... unless you forgot a step. Try setting spoofprotect=no in /etc/network/options, reboot, and try again. i'll try that. thanks! Incoming traffic is much easier :) Install the iproute2 package and read the Advanced Routing HOWTO, particularly the bit about policy routing. outgoing should be easier!! incoming i can see how it could cause problems as each ip is on a totally different network different isp etc.. GNU Zebra but it needs RIP (which you can't get) or BGP to work. i can enable rip but i raly dont want to for something this simple.(or which should be) thanks! nate
woody/linux 2.4/raid/athlon/almost a horror story
i had originally planned to delay testing of linux 2.4 until late this year. but i recently had an urge to try to do some video capture, and discovered if i want to capture at 640x480 i need linux 2.4 and V4L2. So since this is a fresh install i decided to try out 2.4.. what a horrible experience. firstly, i compiled my 2.4.5 kernel with Athlon/Duron' support, and was promptly greeted with Illegal Instruction on e2fsck when i tried to boot the system. Kind of odd considering i have an athlon 1309mhz proc .. anyways i booted back to 2.2.19(good kernel..good kernel..) and recompiled for PPRO instead of athlon. this time it got farther, and begun to scan my raid(!) arrays. since the arrays were stopped clean i didn't understand why it was doing this. i have /usr and /var on raid1 and i have /space on raid0. it took the next hour and a half to scan(don't know why it was only scanning at ~2MB/s while under linux 2.2 it scans at ~15MB/s). when i came back to the screen i saw tons of errors saying /dev/md0 md1 md2 no such device, can't scan the filesystems and dumped me to a prompt. i rebooted the system again into 2.2.19 again and everything was fine. honestly i expected linux 2.4's updated raid to have totally trashed my old raid drives(and no i don't want to use the new raid, ive been using the old raid for over 2 years without a single problem...ever) but it booted fine, the arrays were clean(although i think i should force a check just to be sure) was able to login to kdm and get my afterstep desktop, no glitches. PHEW. now can someone enlighten me as to what could of gone wrong? i expected since i was running woody a fairly smooth changeover to 2.4 with the exception of having to recompile my other modules like nvidia driver, vmware and bttv i had no idea id encounter such issues before even getting to a login prompt. this of course leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. im just glad 2.4 didn't trash my drives. even if it did i'd only lost a week of data luckily i decided to stop trusting the local machine due to an asus motherboard frying my filesystems a couple weeks ago(have since replaced it) and now save most of my data directly to NFS shares on my main server. the installation of woody is about a week old... ohwelli guess this experience just makes me more glad that linux 2.2 is solid. my system: woody(1 week old) athlon 1300mhz 768mb sdram tyan KT133A-based motherboard(forgot the part#) dual IBM 20GB ide drives promise ata100 controller(non raid) adaptec aha2940UW scsi 4x8x CD-R (SCSI) Nvidia Geforce2 MX 200 (64MB) AGP Intel eepro100 Soundblaster PCI 128 Hauppauge WinTV Go!(bt848 i believe) 450watt PC Power Cooling power supply ~650watt (1100VA) UPS Linux 2.2.19(ide patch, nvidia kernel drivers, bttv drivers) nate
Re: woody/linux 2.4/raid/athlon/almost a horror story
On Fri, Jun 29, 2001 at 11:58:45PM -0700, 1309 is odd as well, and a typo probably, too. :-) well thats what cat /proc/cpuinfo shows :) If you can clock your system busses down, stretch memory timings and reduce the cpu speed, you might want to try that and see if you can boot with init=/bin/sh. oddly enough my TYAN motherboard has no way of adjusting anything other then 100/133mhz bus speed. my system IS running at 104mhz bus speed(!) and theres nothing i can do. i emailed tyan tech support last sunday and am awaiting an explanation. That way, it will not attempt to fsck and mount your filesystems readwriteable, just boot the kernel and give you a shell. yeah i could try that, e2fsck was the only program i ran during that test boot, but im betting most everything else will cause the same error. do you have an athlon? do you run it with the athlon optimizations? maybe its a kernel bug..i read kernel traffic and have never heard of the athlon optimizations cpu option Alternatively, prepare a memtest86 bootdisk and boot from it. You may need to leave it running for hours and hours. with my previous MB (same ram, same cpu) i did this because of my problems. i ran memtest86 for 124 hours 30 minutes without a single error reported. you may try to overclock your busses, memory and cpu just a little and run memtest again. not sure if i can do that..hardly any options for memory speed on my MB. Too bad that memtest cannot generate heavy io on peripheral devices while running its tests. Heavy device activity can severely affect power supply quality, reflecting in turn on the reliability of the mainboard chipset and busses. yeah i intentionally got a bigger power supply then AMD reccomended(450 watts, Turbocool - top of theline) to rule that out as a problem. That sounds a lot like the optimized-for-athlon memcopy instructions are asking too much from your system. Ppro maybe. You already fried a motherboard in this machine? I'm not really surprised even, noticing the list below. haven't fried one. the previous board i just believe could not support the 1.3ghz properly. A7A266(Asus). i got complete and instantaneous filesystem corruption using it. never seen an issue like it before: partition a disk format it(mke2fs) mount it unmount it right away(without creating any files) e2fsck it see tons of errors all over the place (repeat) when i was using this MB i ran memtest86(as noted above) for 124 hours(while i waited to install the tyan) and i also ran IBM's drive fitness test for 2 days straight on both drives, no failures anywhere. Consider replacing your power supply too. A faulty one can wreak havoc, while you are suspecting all the devices that break down due to the out of spec supply. Even the best manufacturers have monday mornings, too. i think the hardware is fine. its been running a week on 2.2.19 ive been stressing the opengl, upping system load to 10 for days on end running distributed.net, and running bonnie++ copying gigs and gigs of data to the filesystems to stress the I/O out ...not a single hint of an error. again my power supply is a Power PC Cooling Turbo Cool 450 ATX. specs are here: http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/power_supplies/highperformance/turbocools/index_hp_450_atx.htm cost more then the athlon itself(about $220) so i expect it to be top quality. ive been using turbo cool power supplies (of the 300watt variety) for a couple years now and they give out rock solid voltage. Are you in California? used to be..now in washington(since april 2000) thanks for the reply!! nate
Re: IDE braid/b - which is better ?
Hi, I am putting together a workstation which will have raid. I found the following vendors which have ide raid controllers: www.promise.com (fastrack100) www.3ware.com(escalade 3w-6200) I will be doing raid 0 (striping) strictly for performance. Does anyone have experience with these cards or any other cards? Any recommendations/comments welcome. go 3ware. promise is not releasing information to kernel developers and people are having random problems with it. 3ware's drivers are open source and have been integrated into the kernel. i am recieving a 3ware based ide raid system tomorrow and can report to you how it works when i wipe out redhat and put debian on it next week if you are interested. http://www.asacomputers.com/Html/systems/3ware.html is where i ordered mine from. i had ordered 3 similar units from a company called pogolinux last week and they were the worst pieces of crap ive ever used. the experience was horrid. im hoping/expecting asa computers to be better :) the system im getting has 4 75GB IBM drives in raid5 and 1 30GB ibm drive for the OS. on a side note, promise's ata100 controller(non raid) is excellent, at least under 2.2 kernels, it solved my problems i was having with the newer VIA IDE chipsets. rock solid..very fast and stable. nate
Re: 3ware raid - custom rescue floppy?

Re: problem installing i810 motherboard
Hi, I am trying to install linux on my system which already has Windows 98. I got linux installed (not the X Window) but it doesnt recognize my video card. I have a Intel 810 motherboard with integrated sound and video card. I found this link sound card your on your own there i haven't used an i810 board with i810 audio(didn't know there was such a thing). i setup several i810(Dell GX110) systems at my previous job, and it was a pain at first but once i got the hang of it, it was easy. I hear Xfree86 4.x is easier to get working with i810 but i don't use that i use Xfree 3.3.6. anyways. what i did was download the source of xfree86 3.3.6 from ftp.xfree86.org. extract it, and find the agpgart module hidden in the source tree (find . -name agp*) and compile it for your kernel, typically just cd to that directory and type 'make'. this requires kernel source/headers to be installed as well. provided that is successful copy that module to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc or something, thats the place i usually put it. then, modprobe agpgart the module should load then configure X with xf86config(i dont think i810 worked with XF86Setup i don't remember though). be sure to have XF86_SVGA installed, it is in the xserver-svga package. all should be well. put agpgart in /etc/modules and next time you reboot it will load automatically. there are many versions of agpgart, at the time, with my testing only one of them worked(i tried about 4 different ones), and that is the one included with xfree86 3.3.6 source. there are drivers on intel's site that may make the process easier, but i try to limit the amount of 3rd party stuff i install, in this case it is just 1 kernel module(1 file) i also tried getting GLX working at the time(almost a year ago) and was not very successful. i really learned to hate the i810 video chip. we eventually replaced those cards with voodoo3 3000 pci..much better!@ good luck. nate

backing up packages
hi.
i am interested in doing something along the lines of:
dpkg --get-selections | awk '{print $1}' | dpkg-repack
to get debs of all of the existing software. some of it
(less then 5 packages) are 3rd party, and i want to back
up what EXACTLY is on the system as opposed to download
the packages off a debian mirror and storing those.
however, the above command doesn't work too well. i get
a lot of these errors:
-- Creating control files
-- Copying files
-- Building package
dpkg-deb: building package `zlib1g' in `./zlib1g_1.1.3-5_i386.deb'.
-- Cleaning up
dpkg-repack: Errors were encountered in processing.
dpkg-repack: The package may not unpack correctly.
-- Creating control files
-- Copying files
-- Building package
dpkg-deb: building package `zoo' in `./zoo_2.10-7_i386.deb'.
-- Cleaning up
dpkg-repack: Errors were encountered in processing.
dpkg-repack: The package may not unpack correctly.
from the looks of it all of the packages are made, but
i am curious what could cause such an error? it happens
on virtually every package. listing the contents of a
package such as zoo comes up with a buncha files that
look right..is there a better way of automating the
repacking of all installed packages? and/or is there
a way to verify the packages?

Re: Exhausted by P3V4X+Maxtor harddisk.... looking for ata100 stuff... suggestion?
newer VIA ide chipsets seem flaky with linux. i have a Epox MVP3G5(Super7) and it runs perfect. but once i upgraded to a p3 ...ide started getting whacked bad. now the hd could be going too, but if i were you i'd go out and get a promise ide ata66 or ata100 controller for that machine and see if that helps. it has done wonders for both of my VIA based systems at home, and im about to install one at work once i break down and reboot(74 days and counting.. sucks to lose that much uptime). the promise controllers are cheap .. US$30-40/each new for OEM parts. as for transfer rates i don't use hdparm to judge it i use bonnie or bonnie++. i think hdparm may just test the drive itself, which can be misleading once you start testing it at the filesystem level ..not that it matters to me though i want a reliable system, speed is ranked 3rd or 4th on my list. i use the ata100 card from promise btw(not the raid one though) good luck. nate Hi everyone, I am exhausted by my P3V4X board and Maxtor combo because of the once-in-a-while system freeze due to the harddisk (some timeout out error, and dma trouble) does anyone with that combination but works fine? I am using kernel 2.4.3 right now... the system worked fine for me a quite a long time Another thing is that I guess my maxtor harddisk is reaching the end of its life.. and causing all these trouble (just a guess, I heard NO weird sound from the harddisk) so I am planning to get ata100 stuff.. can anyone suggest me some reliable/well behaves/long lasting ata100 harddisk+card. thanx in advance if I get ata100 harddisk+card what should be my transfer rate if I try hdparm -Tt Edwin Lau ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: ALSA problems in Debian/unstable
I've installed gamix and also gmix with gnome-media, but still ther's no sound. Furthermore alsaplayer does'nt start with a GUI, I can call it from the command line but it yields nos sound. xmms is also hanging as soon as I want to start ato play a track. It seems very mysterious to me. However aplay -l yields i admit i don't know shit about alsa. only have it running on 1 system(laptop). im replying because you say XMMS hangs when you play a track. i have the same thing, although it doesn't just hang, it locks up my laptop. i don't remember off hand what soundchip(some kind of yamaha), and i am not running unstable, but rather stable on my laptop. i can play mp3s all day long in mpg123 but everytime i hit play on XMMS bang, crash. i haven't tried to ssh to my laptop after such an event(lazy), so i usually just hit the power switch. the mixer i use is the console mixer, i forgot the name off hand(i symlink it to the word 'mixer' so i dont have to remember the name :) ), i haven't tried gamix or gmix or gnome-media or alsaplayer or aplay (see i told you i don't know shit about alsa :) ). i originally tried alsa because commercial OSS locked my system when using xmms, but alsa does the same thing, i think the only advantage to alsa in my view is that i can unload the modules if i need to, weird that i never have been able to unload oss modules, always gives device busy even if nothing is using it. i use the kernel's drivers only on my ES1370/1371 cards(my favorite card for linux) and NEVER have had a problem. works totally flawlessly. i play mp3s in xmms all day long at work everyday and this machine has been up for 71 days, with 30 virtual desktops in Xfree86 3.3.6. my machine at home i play a lot of mp3s but also unreal tournament, no reboot for 35 days, since i reinstalled it onto an software ide raid array. good luck ...try the OSS(kernel) drivers since its an ess137x card. nate

Re: glibc compatibility
Hi debian-user readers, I'm running testing, which I believe is based on glibc2.2. Is this backwards compatible with glibc2.1? If a program says it requires 2.1, should I expect that it will work? most of the time..sometimes it wont..depends how the program was coded, and compiled i recently copied some self compiled binaries i made on a debian 2.1 system to a 2.2 system and they work great. debian 2.1 is based on glibc 2.0, while debian 2.2 runs glibc 2.1 If not, is there anything I can do? I notice that there is a libc5 package, to support older apps built against libc 5. Does anything similar exist for minor versions? things may of changed since i last compiled libc on my own, which was back in 1997 or 98. but at least then you could only have 2 libcs installed, one primary/master one secondary/slave. it may be possible to have both glibc 2.1 and 2.2 installed but it may mean not being able to have libc5 installed, and at the same time you'd have to install glibc2.1 manually, which isn't so easy to do. and you may hose your system in the process so if you attempted it be sure to back up first. More generally, if I have multiple libc versions installed, how does the system know which one it should be calling from any given app? (I realize that this is probably a fairly big question; a pointer to a web reference would be appreciated if its easier than answering.) it may be more difficult/impossible with minor libcs but with major ones, the programs call libc.so.6 or libc.so.5, and the system (provided its configured correctly) automatically directs the program to the right library. this configuration is handled automatically in debian when having libc5/6 installed at the same time. nate
Re: bridge? tunnel?
I have a Debian computer acting as a DSL router. My ISP gave me 5 static IP addresses but I'm currently using only one, for the router itself. lucky you ..not many isps do that :) (mine is good too ..) But what I want to do now is promote one or another of the masqed computers onto the real static subnet given to me by my ISP. Some of these computers may be running Linux, others Windoze. your better off having the dsl modem/router go to a hub/switch and out of the hub/switch to the various machines on the public network. my ISP-level subnet. So the result is that I want two logical IP networks running over my physical network, one private, masqed, and unroutable, and the other public, static, and fully acting as part of the internet and my ISP-level subnet. i wouldn't reccomend this at all. unless you have nothing on your network that is not important to you e.g. you don't mind if people on the outside can see what your doing. Can bridging do this? Or would IP tunnelling help me accomplish this? Or is there a better way? And how can I easily do this in Debian? i don't know about the linux kernel, but when i was playing with openbsd there was the ability to forward EVERYTHING on one external ip to one internal ip. haven't noticed anything like that with ipchains/linux 2.2 although 2.4 has much improved NAT code ..(i honestly still wouldn't use it JUST yet) one thing i do on 1 of my gateways.. i have 1 static ip on eth0, then i have a routed subnet(differnet network then what is on eth0) on eth0:1, and eth0:1 handles the routing for that network. so it looks kinda like: internet - switch1 - eth0 - eth1 - switch2 - masq'd network \- eth0:1 - switch1 - routed network so, eth0:1 spits packets back out of the interface back to the switch it came in on. this is doing somewhat what you are proposing(2 networks, 1 wire). the difference, (and its pretty major) is the internal lan traffic never gets out onto switch1 without going through the firewall on eth1. it was tricky at first to set this up, the key was to allow forwarding of packets both TO and FROM the routed network hanging off of eth0:1. e.g. /sbin/ipchains -A forward -j ACCEPT -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d MY_ROUTED_NETWORK_IP/SUBNET_MASK /sbin/ipchains -A forward -j ACCEPT -s MY_ROUTED_NETWORK_IP/SUBNET_MASK -d 0.0.0.0/0 nate
Re: VMware
VMware works fine under root but for some reason refuses to work under another user. It keeps on insisting that it doesn't have permission even though every file - windows.cfg, windows.dsk, windows.log, windows.nvram has definitely been set rwx. The path is also undoubtedly correct. check the permissions of the directory as well. ive been using vmware under debian ever since their first public beta about 2 years ago and it has always worked flawlessly. i am most impressed by it. i think it is the only app i use on a regular basis that has never crashed. nate
Re: Steps to Sound
Hi everyone, I'd like to set up sound on my debian system. It is one of those IBM 300GL machines that come with (I think) an onboard sound card. Funny though is that the KDE CD player kscd plays fine when I insert a music CD into the drive. I added sound in my /etc/modules file but this doesn't seem to work. first thing is to determine EXACTLY what kind of soundchip is on your soundcard. rip open the system and take a look. if its a PCI soundcard you may be able to cheat by downloading the demo of the commercial OSS and install it, it may auto detect the card and show you what it is, then you can use OSS or you can ditch it and keep the info it gave you. maybe it will be supported..maybe not..who knows... nate
X forwarding over SSH
hi. i thought it was a generic problem but it seems more application specific. I've been playing with it for the past few hours. I'm trying to load netscape through a SSH tunnel off a solaris 7 machine. through my trials ive reconfigured and recompiled ssh on the solaris machine about 6-7 times now, and installed a newer version of openssh in /usr/local/openssh on the debian client machine. finally i tried something other then netscape and it loaded fine(i tried xclock and admintool). I can load netscape off a machine at home running debian, i exited out of my netscape here(4.76) before attempting to load but it still refuses to load(error is below). is there something in X or in netscape that would prevent certain X apps from being tunneled? there are some times when i need netscape to run on the remote host(especially when doing stuff on sun.com, some of the download links i encounter don't do anything on netscape/linux). id like to avoid export DISPLAY= but unless i can fix that thats the only way i can get X. error i get is: % netscape debug: Received X11 open request. debug: channel 0: new [X11 connection from 192.168.50.17 port 35705] debug: X11 connection uses different authentication protocol.

I tried reverting back to the ssh from 2.2r2 but that didn't help. It says X11 connection rejected, so that tells me the client is refusing to accept the stream, so im hoping somebody else that uses the same client as me might know whats going on :) nothing on the solaris box had changed(until i noticed the problem and started playing with it's configuration). any ideas? thanks! nate

sendmail statistics(sendmail.st) not working ?
hi ive been playin with mrtg this weekend and found a config where i can graph incoming/outgoing mails but it depends on a sendmail status file, which none of my systems seem to generate except 1(*). i have the StatusFile set in the cf file, i even tried setting it in the mc file and they still are not generated, there is plenty of host status stuff though. i can't find out by checking on the www if there is something else that has to be turned on to trigger sendmail stats generation other then turning it on either in the mc or in the cf. i have checked 5 different systems each using slightly different configurations, only 1 seems to generate a sendmail stats file, it's a debian 2.1 machine running a self compiled copy of sendmail and a raly old sendmail.cf file(i have no .mc for it so i can't really use it elsewhere). - 2 of the systems are running a heavily modified sendmail 8.11.3 (compiled from unstable) on debian 2.2 - no status files - 1 of them is running a heavily modified sendmail 8.9.3(from potato) on debian 2.2 - no status files - 1 of them is running a slightly modified sendmail 8.9.3(from potato) on debian 2.2 - no status files all of the systems have sendmail running as user mail(via RunAsUser), and permissions seem to be ok in /var/lib/sendmail (owned by mail.mail) logs dont show anything ..any ideas ? everything else works great.. never had to bother with sendmail.st until tonight.. thanks nate
smart host using postfix?
hi i know sendmail a lot but not postfix very well. on a few machines i am running postfix because it seems easy to get it to bind to only 1 or 2 of the interfaces on the system, i don't want a smtp running on all interfaces. but i cant find info in the config files for postfix on how to relay to a hub (or in sendmail terms, a smart host) instead of attempting delivery directly. running a grep for hub and smart host come up with nothing, so i imagine the term postfix uses is different ..I can't imagine postfix wouldn't support something like this so if someone knows the config variable to set i would appreciate it!! thanks nate
ftpd security fixes?
anyone hear about any security fixes for ftpds that were found a few weeks ago ? haven't seen any news on security.debian.org. seems the ftp bugs are much more serious then the ntp bugs :) (e.g. 100x more people running ftpds then ntpds ..) last time i tried to exploit it on my desktop system memory was comsumed at about 15MB per second. the bug im referrin to is when u login to a ftpd (wuftpd excluded it wasn't affected) and do this: ls */../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../* you can pretty much kill the system. proftpd has a workaround and also a patch, but my systems are running the openbsd ftpd ..which traditionally has seemed to be mroe secure then proftpd or wuftpd but it was also affected. haven't noticed other updates from other linux vendors so im curious . thanks for any info .. nate
.forward with cyrus?
hi im tryin to get vacation working. however my system seems to be ignoring the .forward . mail is delivered straight to cyrus. my configuration is probably far from standard. i use debian 2.2r2 and sendmail 8.9.3 on the destination system. cyrus from debian is used as is amavis(http://amavis.org) for antivirus scanning. amavis uses a few hacks to integrate with sendmail mainly the main sendmail.cf uses 'amavis' as the mailer, and all mails are passed to it and scanned, then amavis launches sendmail again using the original configuration and mail is processed as normal. i can't figure out how to make autoresponders work via aliases(this would be optimal) but now i can't even do it with vacation as cyrus seems to intercept the mail before anything else. not sure if this is a sendmail issue or an amavis issue or a cyrus issue or what ... any ideas? thanks nate

For many moons i have had a lpd print server running on a debian 2.2r2 system. basically it just re-spools to another win32 system which prints to the printer. sofar i only have used it on other linux machines and it has worked great. today i am trying to setup a solaris machine to print to it, and it tries but the debian machine returns a not-very-useful error message: Mar 15 14:02:10 it-wa lpd[860]: restarting lp Mar 15 14:02:13 it-wa last message repeated 3 times Mar 15 14:02:14 it-wa lpd[860]: lp: job could not be printed (cfA003nis-wa.graphon.com) printing from my desktop to that server works fine, i am attemping to print a basic website (http://portal.aphroland.org) just for testing. via netscape. since solaris seemingly is submitting the job(nis-wa.graphon.com is the host) i tend to think the trouble may be on the debian side. solaris's configuration: /etc/printers.conf : lp:\ :bsdaddr=it-wa,lp,Solaris:\ :description=defaultprinter: _default:\ :use=lp: the debian box is 2.2r2 running lpr 0.48-1, and a smbprint script. I added the solaris machine to /etc/hosts.equiv (before that i would get an error saying access denied). the setup on my debian desktop to print to the same machine is: /etc/printcap: lp|Remote printer entry:\ :lp=:\ :rm=it-wa.graphon.com:\ :rp=lp:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: i am no good at lpd stuff so maybe someone has an idea what could be goin wrong .. !! i hope :) thanks! nate

apt-get source
im tryin to build a sendmail 8.11 package.. using apt-get source with a source entry for unstable. it gets mostof the way but dies when trying to link in with NIS stuff. so i'm trying to remove the config references to NIS/NIS+ as i do not need it. everytime i remove them apt-get re patches from original and mychanges are lost. so i change the patch itself and recompress the diff, and apt-get re downloads the patch and my changes are lost. so i specify the --no-download option to apt-get and it still downloads(!?!) i remove the source entries from sources.list and apt bitches that i need to have them(?!) to build a package. also i made a patch file with a newer version (8.11.1-2 instead of -1) and it ignored it. so what woudl the steps be to build this package manually? or preferrably get apt to accept the files i have in the current directory as the ones to use. sendmail builds fine by itself. so all im tryin to do is remove the NIS/NIS+ and LDAP stuff from debian's site.config. or could i force install a version of sendmail from unstable on potato, replace the binaries it installs with my own, and run dpkg-repack ? so the binaries that i replace would be linked against glibc 2.1 and not 2.2. thanks! nate
Re: P2P Networking Question
be sure both machines have ips on the same network, be sure both machines are using the same subnet mask, be sure the cable is the right kind and/or be sure your hub/switch works. any basic networking book/page will describe this. no special setups to enable TCP/IP communications between a win32 and a linux system. nate On Sat, Mar 03, 2001 at 09:22:11AM -0600, Jason Nord wrote: I have a windows 98 - Debian LAN at home, and I can't seem to get either computer to ping the other one.

Re: apt-get package listing question
try apt-get update first before apt-get install unzip possible there is a newer version and the packing listing you have is outdated. nate On Fri, Feb 23, 2001 at 07:39:03PM -0500, Brian Nelson wrote: I'm new to Debian, and I have a question about apt-get and why some files are missing from its listing. Recently, I needed to use unzip, but it wasn't installed on my system. So I tried 'apt-get install unzip', but it said the package was listed in the database but was empty/obsolete/or whatever. Confused, I tried 'apt-get install zip' and that worked fine. So I went to the package search engine on debian.org and searched for unzip. It found copies in every distro (stable, testing, unstable). So I downloaded the deb and installed it. But, why wouldn't it show up with apt-get? I had done 'apt-get update', and had a couple different listings pointing to testing in sources.list.

service amanda

and as i had in my original mail the user backup is a member of the correct

also, it can't access 2 out of the 3 disks on the system, so it can access

Re: max resolution reached?
find out the horizontal and vertical sync rates of your monitor and X should let you use something higher then 640x480. finding the right sync rates is critical especially on a small monitor which i assume your using(14?) if you set the wrong rates and go higher you can blow the monitor pretty easy. if you can't find the info check www.monitorworld.com or something if you still can't find it..look harder :) or find a new monitor. nate On Mon, Feb 19, 2001 at 09:18:30AM -0800, Tim Veazey wrote: Hello, I'm trying to change my screen resolution to something higher than 640x480, via XF86Setup.

gnome-terminal question
hi i was curious what needs to be done to get a remote host (connected through ssh) to display the hostname and directory in the titlebar of a gnome-terminal window. redhat systems seem to do this but none of my debian systems do. it's handy when i have 26 terminals open and i want to see exactly where im logged into by using the right mouse button in afterstep ... is this possible with debian? or are some drastic changes needed? i didn't see much in /etc/profile on the redhat system(s) that might refer to this. btw all of my debian systems(have about 20 of them) are running potato. thanks! nate
Cyrus IMAP/POP +NIS ?
hi i recently noticed that Cyrus IMAP/POP3 does not seem to support NIS..is there something special required by the program to support it? i had thought the program just asked the system somehow is this password valid and the system told it yes or no..but it looks as if cyrus does the authentication directly? i can login fine through ssh, and replaced cyrus pop3 with qpopper just for a test and it worked there too. all without entries in /etc/shadow and just 1 entry in /etc/passwd which tells nis to use /bin/bash as my shell. i had been testing for a few days with NIS but i guess i didn't realize i had an entry for my account in /etc/shadow. then i started playing with qpoppassd today and thats when i noticed i could no longer login to cyrus. the mail.log says the user account doesn't exist. since i can login to qpopper and ssh i just think it's not quering the NIS server. running debian 2.2r2 with cyrus: ii cyrus-admin1.5.19-2 Cyrus mail system (administration tool) ii cyrus-common 1.5.19-2 Cyrus mail system (common files) ii cyrus-imapd1.5.19-2 Cyrus mail system (IMAP support) ii cyrus-pop3d1.5.19-2 Cyrus mail system (POP3 support) NIS would of been nice as we use it on a lot of other machines (yes i know it's not secure, but NIS+ is not an option as many of the unix platforms we develop on are too old to support it out of the box, and we need to develop on out-of-the-box systems) however the option of not using nis and also using poppassd is nice too. so before i go ahead and just disable nis on this machine i wanted to know if anyone else knew wether or not cyrus supported NIS. thanks!@ nate
bug in php4-ldap?
not sure since i have been using php4 for about a day now. i am using a php-based email front end which has the ability to query a ldap server for addresses (in this case its squirrelmail 1.0.1 quering a netscape directory 3.1 server) when setting up php4-ldap i get: Setting up php4-ldap (4.0.3pl1-0potato1) ... You are installing LDAP support for php4, but it's not enabled in you /etc/php4/apache/php.ini. To enable it you need to add this line: extension=ldap.so Do you want me to add it now [y/N] ?y and it indeed adds it to /etc/php4/apache/php.ini however apache's module(s) seem to ignore it unless it is specified in /etc/php4/cgi/php.ini. i also need to make /usr/lib/php4/cgi a symlink pointing to /usr/lib/php4/apache (or modify php.ini to point to apache instead of cgi). I'm runnin apache and apache-ssl with these versions: ii apache 1.3.9-13.1 Versatile, high-performance HTTP server ii apache-common 1.3.9-13.1 Support files for all Apache webservers ii apache-ssl 1.3.9.13-2 Versatile, high-performance HTTP server with php4 stuff is: ii php4 4.0.3pl1-0pota A server-side, HTML-embedded scripting langu ii php4-cgi 4.0.3pl1-0pota A server-side, HTML-embedded scripting langu ii php4-dev 4.0.3pl1-0pota Files for PHP4 module development ii php4-imap 4.0.3pl1-0pota IMAP module for php4 ii php4-ldap 4.0.3pl1-0pota LDAP module for php4 it works fine after i do the changes i am just curious what the /etc/php4/cgi directory is used for if /etc/php4/apache is what apache seems to be using ? just seems kinda odd . tia nate
RPC services - bind to 1 ip?
hi I've been dealing with this for a long time, and was curious if anyone knows if it's possible. I want to force all RPC services to listen only on 1 interface, it is VERY VERY difficult to firewall them as they apparently choose random ports everytime they load which means i have to spend 30 minutes running nmap both TCP and UDP ports 1-65535 and verifying what ports are open with lsof and netstat and firewall the rpc ones accordingly. this procedure works but it gets old after a while :) so i wanna know if i can force rpc services to bind to 1 interface, or force them to use the same ports everytime(even if i restart NFS it uses new ports) the rpcs: rpc.mountd, rpc.statd are the worst offenders for me.. sunrpc is good and happily sits on port 111 ... luckily i don't reboot often but sometimes i need to reload the /etc/exports file ..maybe i can do this without reloading the nfs services..but that still doesn't solve the problem as a whole :) i don't think its possible to run rpcs from xinetd ..but if it is i'd like to know how. thanks!@ nate
ipmasqadm portfw vs autofw vs rinetd ?
hi today i had a small problem trying to get portfw to forward connections to another netowrk. what i wanted to do was send connections from port X accross our T1s to a place on the other side of the country(all the internal traffic is using non routable ips..) however it did not work .. connection couldn't be made. directing a connection to an ip on the local network worked fine. i thought about using autofw but i could not find a way to specify an IP address to listen on to forward, as there are other ips on the machine forwarding the same port number to various internal machines, i have to specify the ip. the temporary solution was to use rinetd, which seemed to work fine.. but i'm curious if this is possible with portfw? the command i was using: /usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L EXTERNAL_IP PORT -R INTERNAL_IP PORT since it worked when i directed it to a local ip i figure my syntax is fine ...but i dont understand what is different about portfw vs rinetd (other then one bein kernel and the other bein userspace) that lets rinetd work and portfw not.. any ideas ?? thanks! nate
filtering in mutt
hi is there a way to filter mail in mutt? i am testing mutt in IMAP mode so i do not believe i can use procmail or anything external to do it. the mail system is cyrus so i do not have access to the mail files themselves either, so the filtering has to be done by the client itself. i don't need anything complex, mainly match addresses and move them to other folders .. any ideas? thanks nate
ipchains and redirection
hi i have a firewall machine on a network somewhere and it has 2 real ips and 1 fake ip. our mail server acts as a secondary MX incase the primary MX is down. here's the current setup: 123.456.789 - primary ip addy of the firewall on 'net 123.456.788 - secondary ip (also resolves to our mail server) port forwarding is setup so 123.456.788 port 25 to forward to the internal mail server. however outgoing traffic goes through 123.456.789 which for some reason screws with some of the spam sites like rbl or whatever. so what i'm wondering is if it's possible with ipchains or something to redirect all outgoing traffic on 123.456.789 port 25 to 123.456.788 port 25. i know -j REDIRECT but it seems to only be able to specify a port not an ip. i am thinking of trying to do -j REDIRECT in combonation with rinetd to redirect out of the other interface but i've never used rinetd in this fashon, and am pretty sure it won't work. maybe i can use -j REDIRECT in combo with -i eth1:1 to do what i need? i will have to play around with it.. any ideas are welcome :) thanks!! nate

i got 3 mails that seem to be stuck in my mail queue, my system's clock was wildly off so i updated it via ntpdate, and i think for some reason those mails got stuck, as they don't deliver, all 3 of them are supposed to go to local users, the system shows no errors for them. its just not sending, sendmail shows it is processing it, but its been trying for ages(30mins ?) to no avail.. anyone else experience such a thing? i am running a custom build of sendmail 8.9.3 on debian 2.1. i suppose i could just copy/paste and deliver the mails manually, since there is only 3 but it'd be nice if i could get sendmail to do it. nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 8:18pm up 6:26, 2 users, load average: 1.37, 0.93, 0.49

Re: OT: Video cards? Creating Athlon Debian box..
you should also take into account the linux kernel itself, only the most recent kernels suport the athlon, most of the older ones just crash on it. if i remember right if the distribution is 2.2.x based you need at least 2.2.13 for the kernel. if it is 2.0.x based there shouldn't be a problem(although there could be) as the 2.0.x are more generic(i have a 2.0.36 i686 SMP kernel that ran on my dual p2 running on a p200mmx just fine) you will know right away if the distribution/kernel is compadible as it will crash within seconds of boot if it is not. although whatever distribution i expect you would choose the newest rev of it, avoid the older ones with the older kernels. cpu type/speed has very little to do with what will and won't work in X. nate On Tue, 11 Apr 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: kvaugh At 09:41 AM 4/11/00 -0700, you wrote: kvaugh It's not Debian you are matching your card up to, it's xfree86.

Re: new computer ??
there are and always will be issues. as always stick to standard hardware for best results. avoid win* stuff(modems especially), most oem systems should be mostly compadible with exception of the modem 90% or so ship with a winmodem as standard, most usually have a hardware modem as an option though. of course its best to buy from a vendor that will tell you 'yes it'll run linux!'. I have found SAG Electronics to be an excellent OEM. they use all top quality stuff, www.sagelec.com they have great prices, but i dont think they offer anything real cheap/low end, most of their stuff is workstation or server class, you may be able to find something for under $1000 though. cybermax has mostly compadible systems as well one of my friends got an athlon 550 from em last year, only thing he had to swap was the modem. suse 6.3 installed somewhat easily (i had to tweak his X config for his savage4) nate On Thu, 6 Apr 2000, Hunter H Marshall wrote: marsha I'm considering a new computer.

better to try using the bios to change the IRQ, if that doesn't work -- if the soundblaster is PCI (i cant remember what a SB32 is..) try moving the slot, if its ISA the default for it should be IRQ5(but your system appears to be different :) ). if your video card is PCI try changing the slot too. if the soundblaster is ISA use isapnp to reconfigure it, you should not need a kernel recompile, unless your drivers are statically compiled into the kernel as opposed to modules. nate On Mon, 3 Apr 2000, Jaye Inabnit ke6sls wrote: ke6sls ke6sls Hello, ke6sls ke6sls I have a creative labs soundblaster 32 pnp.
