 Hi,
 
 I've asked this question before, but I lost the email and the archive
 doesn't help me much...
 
 So here it is...
 
 How can I set a specific directory on my Apache web server to require a
 user/pass?? 
 
 Some web sites which I looked only suggest to use htpasswd filename
 username - but that doesn't help..
 
 Also, if someone could give an example - it would be better...
 
 Thanks,
 Hetz

Serial Terminal.

2000-09-18 Thread Benji Selano

Hi..


I need some help in finding info on 2 related subjects...

How do i get linux to forget about the screen and boot into a Serial
VT Terminal ? (any preferred terminal?)
If at all possible, (all i got from the docs is at the boot: prompt to
enter linux console=ttyS0 \ 1)... i'm using an Annex terminal server on
a few SUN machines, what i get are 8 or 16 machines which i can connect
through one telnet session, and control remotely.. (everything, from
memory check onwards ), is it possible to connect an x86 linux box to
such a system??

Thanks

Benji

Help with an ISDN connection, particulary to bezeqint.

2000-09-18 Thread Shaul Karl

For those of you with an ISDN lines, particularly ones with bezeqint as their 
ISP, can you post one or more of:

1) output of 
isdnctrl list all
2) option file for ipppd (/etc/isdn/*ipppd* ?)
3) Censured versions of pap-secrets and chap-secrets (/etc/ppp/*-secrets ?). 
Which one is being used?
4) Must I have the VJ compression module if I have the slhc module?
5) Any other info that seems relevant.

Thank you.

Re: samba vs win98 enabled

2000-09-18 Thread Nadav Har'El

On Mon, Sep 18, 2000, Alex Dubrovsky wrote about "samba vs win98 enabled":
 Hi all
 We have a weird problem here
 When user modifies file on samba share from win98 with
 notepad/word/other program the modification date for that file is turned
 into
 the year , like this:
 drwxr-xr-x   5 odedbodedb4096 Sep 18 07:18 Desktop
 -rwxr--r--   1 odedbodedb1422 Sep 18  2000 oded.test.txt
   ^^^
 This doesn't happen when done from win95/NT/2000 machine
 it happens with both samba on solaris and samba on linux
...

In Unix, modification times are stored as the number of seconds that have
passed since Midnight, January 1, 1970, GMT (if I remember correctly). But
if you were to convert this to a full date, with month, day-of-the-month,
year and hour, ls would not have much place to display it, assuming the
standard 80-character line width.

This is why it is customary for 'ls -l' to use the following heuristic to
decide how to display only partial information about the date:
(see 'info ls', for example):

"For files with a time more than six months old or more than one hour
 into the future, the timestamp contains the year instead of the
 time of day."

If you want to see the full time, use the "--full-time" paramter to ls
(Assuming, of course, GNU ls. This option was *not* available on ATT's Unix).

Anyway, because the file you show is not over 6 months in the past (because
it says "September 2000"), we can come to the conclusion: it is more than 1
hour in the future. This could mean one of two things:

  1. The time on your PC is off by over one hour.

  2. Time-zone problems: in this case the file will be 3 hours in the future
 (check this with the --full-time paramter as I said above).
 You should check if the timezone configuration on your Windows 98 is
 different than the one in windows 95 (which you say works correctly),
 and if it is, copy the timezone configuration from Windows 95.
 You can also try
 a) Setting your PC is to "GMT" (e.g., "Monrovia" time zone) with the
Israeli time.
 b) Setting your PC to "Israel" time zone, with the Israeli time.
 and see which one will work correctly.

Good luck,
Nadav.

Re: UPS

2000-09-18 Thread Shaul Karl

 Hi
 
 I sow that Powercom protocol (Advice compatible) is now supported by
 NUT.
 Any one tested it with advice ?
 


I am the current maintainer of the driver. I am using it with Advice 
Partner/King PR750 model:

[10:06:20 /tmp]$ /sbin/upsc localhost
host: localhost
MFR: PowerCom
MODEL: Advice Partner/King PR750
SERIAL: 00131581
UPSIDENT: myups
ACFREQ: 49.10
BATTPCT: -1050.3
LOADPCT: 21.7
STATUS: OL 
UTILITY: 230.5
[10:06:23 /tmp]$ 

As you can see, it has at least one bug (BATTPCT: -1050.3) since the protocol 
is not fully known. However I believe it is useful and that it is working 
correctly in case of a power failure. The indications that I am getting for 
this belief on my system are positive.

If you are interested in Advice products then mentioning Linux and also the 
need to reveal their protocols is desirable.


 Any one have any experience with their model ULT-3000 ?
 


This looks like a 3KVA UPS and therefore an online technology. Advice site has 
a link from their online UPS page to http://www.imv.com, but I did not find 
the specific model you were reffering to.
In any case I do not have any expreince with this model.
Are you hoping to use this UPS with the NUT or did you mentioned them together 
without any implied implications?


BTW: If you are interested in a driver model for the NUT for other UPSs and 
you are able to get their protocol then I might write a driver for them.

If I will get paid for that then it is even better.

hi,

I remember see a link in this list a while ago (year?)
for a hardware device that emulate BW screen/keyboard on 
a serial port (the card have its own serial port) so you really 
do not nead a keyboard nor a SVGA card for the system 
and, of course, you can see all the bios output on it. 
and no configuration is needed.

Netscape problem

2000-09-18 Thread solomon

I have a problem with Netscape. Actually, I'm not really sure if this is a
Netscape problem or if something else is causing it. I often enter a URL and at
the bottom of the Netscape screen I get the message:

Connect: Host . cintacted. Waiting for reply 

But nothing else happens. I've tried PING and TRACEROUTE to verify that the
address is active and reachable, so it's not a TCP/IP problem. This usually
happens with addresses outside Israel (www.askjeeves.com,  www.dogpile.com),
but it also happens to local address. For instance, at the moment I'm writing
this, I can't reach WALLA with Netscape although I can reach it with PING and
TRACEROUTE.

I'm not sure, but I think this started only since I connected to the ADSL
service. Could there be a problem here - maybe with PPTP?

Any advice would be appreciated.

This means you have the fonts setup correctly. But I believe that the text
still shows "reveresed", so reading it is a bit difficult. Right?

See http://www.iglu.org.il/faq/cache/56.html for instructions on how to
get hebrew chars to X apps from your keypresses.

But you willl still see what you write reversed.

See http://www.iglu.org.il/faq/cache/93.html for some pointers about
hebrew in mail. This about pine, and under construction, but may have some
useful information.

Generally you can write the messages in another editor and copypaste the
text to your mailer's composer. 

One possible option is vim. Since you have Mandrake 7.0, the easiest for
you may be to upgrade to the vim packages from 7.1 (or above), which are
already complied with Hebrew support. Also see

 Please note that some so-called "server motherboards" have such a

 For example, I have a server with an Intel Lancewood motherboard, which
 will let you use a serial console at BIOS-level. Very cool.

Many years ago, I was bit by such a bios feature :) I was running ATT
System V Release 4, on the console (without X windows) of a 386sx machine,
and everything was great until one day everything seemed strange: I couldn't
see text attributes (like colors) on the screen, and output to the screen
was about 100 times slower than usual (the output of ls, for example, would
scroll about one line every second). I couldn't for the life of me figure
out what's wrong, and on some point I was sure I got some wierd virus, although
no antivirus could find it.
After several days of wasting my time looking at every possible configuration
parameter, I finally found the problem: my BIOS configuration was set up to
send a copy of all the video text output to the serial port (or printer,
I don't remember). I still don't know what caused it to start behaving this
way.

4.3.1.  Dynamically insert and remove SCSI devices
 
If a newer kernel and the /proc file system is running, a non-busy
device can be removed and installed 'on the fly'.
[snip]

Hmmm... Have you actually used this feature?

What I'm wondering about is: Say you have 2 disks (say SCSI ID 1 and
SCSI ID 2). Upon boot, the kernel assigns them the devices /dev/sda and
/dev/sdb. Now, say that you dynamically remove the first disk. Will the
second disk become /dev/hda, or will it stay /dev/hdb? If 
you later add back the first disk (or a replacement with the same ID) --
will it become /dev/hda again, or will it be /dev/hdc?

Thinks,

Gavrie.

Re: samba vs win98 enabled

2000-09-18 Thread Matan Ziv-Av

 We have a weird problem here
 When user modifies file on samba share from win98 with
 notepad/word/other program the modification date for that file is turned
 into
 the year , like this:
 drwxr-xr-x 5 odedbodedb4096 Sep 18 07:18 Desktop
 -rwxr--r-- 1 odedbodedb1422 Sep 18  2000 oded.test.txt
   ^^^

ls uses this mode of displaying file time (year instead of time of
day) when the file is more than 6 months old, or more than 1 hour in the
future. This probably indicates timezone problem. try ls -l --full-time
to make sure it is indeed a timezone problem, and then read samba
documentation.

2000-09-18 Thread Oren Held

Hello Yoav,

It's not 'a command', it's a 'software'. get it from www.freshmeat.net ,
for example. search there for 'nmap'.

If you want the rpm file (ease of install), maybe you'll find it in
www.insecure.org. 

Cya,
Oren

Re: Serial Terminal.

2000-09-18 Thread Yedidya Bar-david

Hi

Benji Selano wrote:
 Hi..
 
 
 I need some help in finding info on 2 related subjects...
 
 How do i get linux to forget about the screen and boot into a Serial
 VT Terminal ? (any preferred terminal?)

Actually, I have in front of me 2 PCs, connected by a NULL modem cable
(see http://www.hardwarebook.net on how to make one - I made mine).
One of them is a 486 with no monitor, keyboard or mouse - I control it
from it's big brother.
What you'll need:
1. As some people said, make Linux use the serial console. Look at
/usr/src/linux (or where you keep your kernel sources) under
Documentation/serial-console.txt on how to do that. Basicly - add
something like
console=ttyS1,38400 console=tty0
to your kernel command line to make it use both for startup output.
2. run getty on it - add to /etc/inittab a line like this:
T1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 38400 vt100
make sure your getty knows how to handle serial lines. On my machine
(a Debian 1.3 upgraded to 2.0, then parts of 2.1 and parts of 2.2, which
explains why I have this:) I have 3 versions - mingetty, which doesn't,
getty, which does, and mgetty, for modem (which I don't use). I know
of gettyps (also for modem - quite powerful) and fbgetty (for framebuffer).
You might want also to add to /etc/securetty a line with your serial device.
3. I don't know if it is very helpful, but I symlink /dev/console to ttyS1.
I know some programs write directly there, so you'll see the output.
4. Lilo: add a line like
serial = 1,38400n8
to be able to control lilo (/usr/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz or something for doc).
Use a recent version - one of the latest versions sets the line on at boot,
so you can also type (and not only see). Maybe some COMM programs turn it
on from the other side, but I used minicom and it doesn't.
5. Very recently, I added to it's net card a boot ROM someone burnt for me,
with support for net boot (naturally), and with ability to control it from
a serial console. This way, I can boot from the net even if the disk doesn't
work (and I did have problems with it).
I don't know how easy it is to burn an EPROM if you don't have useful friends,
but if you can, you can get the software from
http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/
Actually, it can also boot from floppy, so that can be useful even without
an EPROM burner. Also, http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/FlashCard.tar.gz
has instructions on how to make a flash card. Havn't tried that :-(
6. Last (don't flame me on this!), you can add to DOS, at
autoexec.bat, lines like
mode com2:9600,N,8,1
ctty com2
and you'll get a 'C:\' prompt if you select that from lilo.
Of course, most things won't work (fdisk, edit, ...) but simple
copies, formats, loadlin, etc., will work.
and at least OpenDOS (what I have) can't use more than 9600.
7. Not operational yet, but you might be interested in
http://freebios.sourceforge.net/
http://www.freiburg.linux.de/openbios/
which will probably support serial consoles when they mature, and
http://www.acl.lanl.gov/linuxbios/
that puts linux as the bios - and from their site seems quite working already.
Havn't tried any of them (yet?).

 If at all possible, (all i got from the docs is at the boot: prompt to
 enter linux console=ttyS0 \ 1)... i'm using an Annex terminal server on
 a few SUN machines, what i get are 8 or 16 machines which i can connect
 through one telnet session, and control remotely.. (everything, from
 memory check onwards ), is it possible to connect an x86 linux box to
 such a system??
 
 Thanks
 
 Benji

 If you're joking, you should have added a ":)" or something. Otherwise I'll
 assume you're speaking seriously. In this case, what are you talking about??
 
 I understood that question was about DOS ("batch file") commands, not for Unix
 system calls!! 'man' would be completely irellevant to answer a DOS question,
 and the fact there's a "pause" system call in Unix (which I'm very well aware
 of, thank you very much) is completely irrelevant.
 
 A great quote from /usr/share/games/fortunes/people (on Redhat, at least):

I'm not using proxy and haven't before either. Since I can sometimes reach a s

on ADSL, I don't really have an ISP in the regular way. The service is similar
to the BEZEQ 135 service. I connect to one of six available ISP's (none of
which is **my** ISP using PPTP


 One thing you can test is whether or not you can establish a connection to
 port 80 of that remote server:
 telnet www.askjeeves.com 80
 
 If you establish a connection - try writing:
 HTTP/1.0 GET /

The experiment you suggested  worked fine. I connected and got the error message
as you wrote. Here's what I got:

# telnet www.askjeeves.com 80
Trying 208.185.160.9...

But Netscape still stalls after reporting that I've connected to
www.askjeeves.com. The strange thing is that the address I can and cannot
reach seem to change at random. For instance, as I write this, I can't get
askjeeves but I can get Dogpile, Hotmail, and Davecentral. An hour ago, I
couldn't get any of these sites.

I really do suspect that the problem is related to the ASDL connection, but the
BEZEQ help staff are useless :-(
