Duda en Dump
Hola a todos Tengo en una pc con un Linux viejo 1.3 pero me dispuse a realizar un Dump sobre tape utilice el /dev/rmt12 como me indica en el man y todo aparentemente funciono de maravillas, pero para mi sorpresa hoy por la mañana no me funcionaba nada, luego de investigar en el Log el sendmail me decia que habia poco espacio, al dar un df verdaderamente no cabia un alpiste. Cuando di un ls al device /dev/rmt12 tenia una longitud en oct de 1 mega y pico, en /tmp no habia nada, al menos no lo pude ver. Me relei el man pero no me decia nada, esto no debe ser logico pero a lo bruto hice un rm -f /dev/rmt12 se quedo enganchado Por primera vez tuve que dar un reboot en esa pc Al reinicial ya no aparece el /dev/rmt12 como es logico, pero el linux esta funcionando. Quisiera me aclararan mis dudas El dump guarda una copia de lo que esta salvando en disco? Si es asi tengo que tener el doble de capacidad en disco. Donde es que lo guarda? Como es que lo puedo borrar? Es verdaderamente /dev/rmt12 lo que hay que usar para salvar en tape como dice el man ? Que tengo que hacer para que esto no me suceda?

Sé que es uno que Windows 98 crea cada vez que arranca, así que no hay problema de que lo borre.

Perhaps you can set the ulimit manually (don't ask me how to do

And after too much time of CPU usage and/or child processes, kill
'em all. :)
Any help available?
ps: /etc/limits with user www-data doesn't work.
This is only read (AFAIK) by /bin/login. It doesn't even work for ssh
logins (I could be out-of-date now, with the increased usage PAM -
anyone know for certain?).
Another package you may want to look at is lshell. This will help fix
the problem with sshd, but I am not sure if it will work for your
situation.

As others have noted, you cannot pass a string constant to mktemp().
Use this instead:
char template[] = /tmp/tmpfileXX;
Using the brackets ([]) here forces the allocation of an array big
enough to hold the initializer value (/tmp/tmpfileXX with trailing
NUL character). With the char * you're only allocating a pointer and
telling it to point to a string constant (which is in read-only memory).

Nathan, If you want to limit by actual clock time, you could use alarm and catch the signal (I know how to do it in Perl; I'd have to stumble a bit to do the same thing in C :) The problem is that I have an 'untrusted' user base I everything has to be implemented by the parent process or by the system itself.

Installation problems
Dear Sirs, I am experiencing problems installing Debian version 2.1 (Slink) on my computer. The first time I tried to install the OS everything went fine I had no problems at all. The problems started when I tried to to reload the OS after I made some mistakes loading Gnome. I went through the installation program again and everything went smooth until I had to reboot with the boot disk. I received a CRC error. I know that this means there is a media error with the floppy, so I go through the installation 4 more times with four different floppies with the same error. The next day I try the installation again but received a different error, the program wouldn't allow me to add a user. The program kept voiding the new user and asking for a new user in a endless loop. This happen 5 more times then back to the CRC error. I don't know what to do now I know how to load the software but it won't allow be to complete the installation. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me with this problem. Mark N. Wrigley
Re: apache + cgi
Brian, Perhaps you can set the ulimit manually (don't ask me how to do this from C...). And make Apache use those values for every son with user www-data that it breeds? ... too much work. :-/ This is only read (AFAIK) by /bin/login. It doesn't even work for ssh logins (I could be out-of-date now, with the increased usage PAM - anyone know for certain?). You're not out of date. Both ssh ssh2 don't use /etc/limits. Thanks for pointing that out. It's a pity that slink doesn't implement PAM. I hope potato does for all of this stuff.. Another package you may want to look at is lshell. This will help fix the problem with sshd, but I am not sure if it will work for your situation. I only have one shell available (bash) and only two user bases (the good ones -ie, two people + me- and the rest of the world)... if [ $USER in /etc/profile is enough for me. Thanks for point the package out anyway. -- p.
Re: Installation problems
Hi, If you must install from floppies, I would use different ones. When I need a floppy for something, I format it under windows 95, check the full format and no label option. After it formats, be SURE to check the number of BAD bytes in the info dialog that appears when the format is done. If the number of bytes in bad sectors is greater than 0, I always yell damn, walk into the kitchen and throw the floppy in the trash.

Admin group?
Ok, I'd like to create a admin group (adm), and have some questions. But first, my goals: Ultimately, I want to have 2 accounts for myself (1 being root, the other being a normal user.) I also would like to create a few accounts for friends. My normal user account will be added to the member of the adm group. Questions: 1) What is the best way to prevent other users (except for my normal user) from running programs like dmesg? I suppose I could always chgrp the programs to adm, and change permissions to -rwxr-x---. Is this the recommended way? 2) How does Debian's package management system deal with this? Am I going to have to reset my permissions/groups after every apt-get upgrade? 3) Some versions are said to not support the wheel group. how is this possible? If I've set the group of the file to wheel (or adm in this case), and the permissions to -rwxr-x---, then how can the su executable get around this? 4) What binaries do you suggest putting in the adm group? thanks in advance, Bryan

I am not sure where to complain about this...it probably isn't Debian's
problem, it is probably the new gcc. The newest gcc in potato:

compiled under the last one I used:
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 Debian GNU/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)
That won't compile under the new one. For instance, this assembly
function won't compile under 2.95.2, but is fine under 2.91.66:
/* Read the pentium Time Stamp Counter register */
unsigned long long read_TSC()
{
static union {
unsigned long dw[2];

.byte 0x0f, 0x31\n
:d= (tc.dw[1]), a= (tc.dw[0]):
:%eax, %edx
);
return tc.counter;
}
And I get this error:

Re: need a linux book
Just a brief question. Do you guys think it is necessary to buy a debian specific book on linux or just a linux book in general? Do regular linux books cover topics like dselect? I live in a very small community and will need to buy online, so I can't browse. Thanks, Jeff If you can browse the web then I believe that you can find a reasonably good online versions of both Linux and Debian specific books. As far as I know most regular linux books do not covers topics like dselect, but books that have some more details about specific Linux distro probably do cover it. BTW: If dselect is what you are currently most interested in then I would read the debian FAQ and the dselect article that can be found on debian CDs where the various diskette images are found.

Re: ALSA sound modules not loading
Marshal, There is a Seg fault problem with the ALSA drivers. I have a Creative Ensoniq PCI64 (ens1371) soundcard and the ALSA drivers do the same thing to me. This is on a S.u.S.E. system with kernel 2.2.5. What I do is to put the modprobe command in a script in my /root/bin directory and run it manually until the driver catches and doesn't segfault. Then, everything works fine. Since I almost never reboot my machine, this works well for me. I have reported this to the ALSA people. They responded that it was a S.u.S.E. problem. Apparently it isn't. I would recommend you go to the ALSA site and report it yourself. Regards, Arne I'm using the latest potato right now. The ALSA source compiled fine.

problems with sendmail on new potato laptop
Hi all- I had a recurring problem getting the latest sendmail to work today on a new potato laptop. IT continually bombed trying to find a required file; namely the aliases file that lives on my desktop in /etc. I tried numerous reinstalls of the latest sendmail in the instable tree but it would not succeed until I copied another alias file and then reinstalled. IT still wanted three other optional databases which I have no idea what they are. Another thing, now when I write a fetchmailrc file, it wants a mda statement in the file. I dont recall this behavior before. I know that debian uses procmail as the local delivery agent. Without a mda line, mail is received but just disappears to some unknown location... The aliases file appears to be built by any number of mail agents like exim but none of these would build one when I attempted to install them. Pretty wierd. I built the potato laptop from hand after installing a base system from floppy diskettes and a nfs mount. -- Michael Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Re: Upgrade and floppy
The floppy will still boot the same kernel, but it will be compatible. If you upgrade to a newer kernel at some time, you should prepare a new boot floppy (if it is a .deb kernel image package, you will be asked whether you want to make a floppy).

RE: Sudo and other root-based security issues
Actually, how a cracker will typically try to get in is by exploiting security holes in deamons that listen to network ports. These programs USUALLY run as root. Logging in as root presents little-to-no additional risk. If your system security is weak, logging-in as root wont cause much additional risk. If it's strong, you generally worry. That said, if you are going to bring your machine on-line, it would be worth your while to chech into the debia site every few days to check for security advisories. You also want to read the security howto, the ipchains howto, and look into tripwire. The real reason use of the root account is discuraged is that one poorly typed command can really screw up your system. For example, try this: ls a* now try: ls a * one misplaced space makes a world of difference. Glad that wasn't rm instead of ls? Bryan On 19-Oct-99 David J.

No, my sources.list still has stable and unstable entries, mainly because I was too lazy to remove them, but once I upgraded since it goes by version numbers everything I install now comes from unstable, so I guess I could take the stable portions out, doesn't really matter. 4) at what point does your kernel get upgraded to 2.2.x (or 2.3.x)?

Interesting, I didn't have a problem with this, but if I did have a package that didn't want to install correctly (such as dependancy overwrite problems, etc) I just made a note of it and used dpkg -i --force overwrite on those. My debian install was a fairly fresh 2.1r2 with gnome and kde updates through apt. Since I had a pretty awful time fighting through it, perhaps it can be of use to help the old stable - new stable upgrade process go smoother for everyone else ... -dave -- | oOOooO / --|oOobodoO/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] --| ooOoOo / | II / The wise man tells you where you have fallen | II / and where you may fall - Invaluable secrets. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Re: enlightenment problem
Hi Stephan, I have only seen the enlightenment on the slink CD. But when I checked it out, I think I got around the same problem by running a program called imlib_config (or something close). If you type imlibTAB at the prompt, you should see it. Hope this helps, John P.S. I never got enlightment-conf to run, something about needing a newer lib6. Enlightenment looked real nice, made cool sounds, but I couldn't get it to do anything useful for me :( __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Does anybody have ideas/ suggestions?
Make backups quickly! I have seen this kind of messages three times
now, and each time they came from a dying hard disk. Especially the
fact that it occurs at decreasing intervals is alarming. Try to backup
valuable data first, and then do a fsck on the disk. If you find a lot
of errors, it is almost certain the disk is failing.
The problem could also be in the hard disk controller or the
motherboard. Maybe reseating the connectors helps.
Good luck,
Eric

Eric Good luck,
Thanks, but the hardware is just about 4 weeks old... and there are no
other probs than these. Fsck works with no big errors and the time
decreasing intervalls seem to be temperature related (van etc checked of
course).

About 18 months ago I upgraded my hard drive and was plagued with these messages. I got a Quantum Bigfoot and ended up taking it back and swapping it for something else. To cut a long story short, I went through a few drives before I found one which did not exhibit the errors. I still don't really know what caused the problem. I have seen *many* postings about it on the 'net and no real answers. I suppose people don't usually try half a dozen disk drives and log the problems encountered with each. I do suspect it does not necessarily mean a failing drive since it occurs with brand new drives too. Have a look at whether you are using Ultra DMA and try disabling it. I have had few problems with drives bought in the last year - my current drive, a Quantum Fireball EX 6.4 GB, has behaved flawlessly. Maybe it is the interaction between motherboard and hard drive? -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux (Potato)

Re: seg faults while building kernel
Jacob Schmude Hello When I try to build a kernel the debian way, I get a seg fault. On my previous linux system this never happened. Was the previou s linux system on this or other hardware? If other, then I suspect your current hardware. Read the Sig11 faq. Often a go-faster option that is enabled pushes the machine into instability that is clearly evident when the machine is compiling a kernel and less obvious at other times; another cause can be a bug in the motherboard. A slow process of elimination is required to determine the precise cause of the problem; I had trouble with one motherboard which I traced to the bios option NA# asserted _or_ to having more than 64MB of ram fitted. Great, eh? Andrew -- http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=45690
