ipchains
Buenas. tengo una simple duda por que ando con problemas con mis reglas de ipchains, si mando un ipchains -A input -d 0/0 -s localhost telnet -p tcp -i ppp0 . Debo especificarle la direccion que tengo asignada a mi int. ppp0 ,no?? ahi localhost no iria ya que significaria otro interfaz (lo) de la misma maquina. porque con esa regla no me bloquea los intentos de conexion hacia mi telnetd provenientes desde ppp0 gracias

Cuando ejecuto el man con un usuario distinto de root se produce el siguient error: man: can't set effective uid: Operation not permitted. El man si puede ser accedido por estos usuarios porque si lo pueden ejecutar sin parámetros. El error ocurre cuando acceden alas páginas pero paraece que todos los directorios a los que debe acceder al man tienen permisos para todos los usuarios. ¿Alguien puede ayudarme? :-m ... parece como si el directorio de alguna página del man o allí donde el man tiene la cache de páginas preformateadas estuviese con permisos que impiden la lectura / escritura a algunos usuarios. Los directorios donde el man busca las páginas los tienes en la variable MANPATH, mira esa variable y verifica que tengan permiso de lectura para todos (ya, ya sé que dices que ya lo has mirado, pero por volver a mirar O:) ) y que los directorios involucrados tengan permiso de ejecución para todos. Si ya has mirado eso, mira a ver si el directorio que contiene las páginas preformateadas permite la escritura. Y mira que el ejecutable man no tenga el bit setuid puesto (mira la ayuda del man sobre el qué pasa cuando el man tiene puesto el suid). En /etc/man.conf mira a qué programas llama el man y comprueba que todos estén accesibles por cualquier usuario y que se puedan ejecutar.

kipping remote directories in sinc
I am working on a several projects as home work, both on my local computer and on the university comuter. The access i have to the university computer from home is through telnet and ftp. I want to keep the directories both at home and the university in sinc with each other (make shure that i have the latest versions of everything on both computers). It's kind of maintaining a mirror both ways, only I need to unly update the latest files in both directions. Is there an automated way to do this (not ftp each file menualy). Also, on the university computer I keep a version of at list most of the files on cvs, because on some of them I work also with other people. Any way to take that into account also? (Its also an option to just make shure the cvs repository is up to date, and update the local directory from it through the net instead of updating the files) I also might have a little problem with mirroring programs because my local system clock is running to fast for some reson I didn't have time to try and figure out, will this screw the process up? I am supposed to buy a new computer though in the very near future, so I am hoping it will solve the problem. Can I tell a mirroring program though to update both ways to make shure both sides have the newest files, and if so, any sujestion as to what program to use (I need something simple and light, just to perform this job at the moment).

Re: Slashdot colours (was Re: Debian Linux vs BSD)
I frequently see references to Slashdot here, and when I point my browser at them, the page is always rendered in grey/dark grey on black. Am I doing something wrong? The background should be white maybe you changed your prefs??? My usual workaround is (because I run netscrape with -install) to move my mouse out of the ns window so that the ns colours change to a fairly random combination of other colours. However, today that random selection gives me, in place of dark grey on black, light grey on green so I still can't read the text (and can barely read the links). Any advice?

I shrunk my swap partition, how do I let linux know?
Hello, I have been trying to make a boot/root disk, so I can have a kernel boot with support for my ZIP drive, and PCMCIA-SCSI-CDROM if possible. WOW, I can't believe how hard this is! To make it easier I shrunk my swap partition size by 17 meg, and created a spare ext2 partition of 17 meg. When I boot, I see a message saying that it is adding about 50 meg swap space. This was the OLD size, but the NEW size is about 32 meg. I can't find any info on how to let linux know that my swap partition has changes sizes. Any info on this, as well as a more newbie friendly guide to creating boot/root disks would be welcome. I figure I will start by setting up this meg partition with everything needed to boot, and use LILO (for now) to add it to my possible boot schemes. I am also doing this so I can learn about EVERYTHING that linux needs to boot up. John __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

I'd just finished compiling a kernel package (2.2.13) with no apparent errors when I saw this message. Were these problems at compile-time or runtime?

I realise Corel has 'Lizard', but I was wondering if he doesn't consider Debian to be a major distributor, or what proprietary extensions has Debian introduced to Linux? I am not Anti-RedHat, I just prefer the .deb package format to the rpm format.

So, it is a good idea to use one disk for the essential files, like kernel , /bin, /sbin and so on. I don't know how far you are now, how much do you have installed. It depends also, how your disk is mapped. Lilo has to find the kernel within the first 1024 cylinders. That is very important. I suggest to have a small partition for /boot, that containes the kernel. yout 64MB are much too much, but if you don't want to repartition again, it's OK. Now, how much memory to you have? The swapfile should be about twice as much. your fstab could then look like: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass /dev/hdc3 / ext2defaults 0 1 /dev/hdc1 /boot ext2defaults 0 2 /dev/hdc2 none swapsw 0 0 /dev/hdaX/dos/c vfatumask=000 0 0 /dev/hdaY/dos/d vfatumask=000 0 0 /dev/hdb/cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,users,hide 0 0 /dev/hdd4 /zipvfat umask=000,noauto,users,hide 0 0 /dev/fd0/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0 proc/proc proc defaults 0 0 Thank you for all help, Hope, it helps Ingo PS: If you have problems with my englisch, kann ich dir auch auf deutsch helfen :-) I.

inodes
I recently noticed that the defaults for mkfs.ext2 have changed somewhat recently (or maybe not somewhere after 2.2 kernel was finalized)... the main changes I am interested in are the default block size which was 1024 and is now 4096 and the number of inodes created which was 1 for every 4096 bytes, the new defaults appear to be 4096 block size and 1 inode per 8192 bytes, same ratio but you still end up with half as many inodes... having just run out of inodes on my 200MB root filesystem (only /home and /usr are farmed out on this system) and having had created that filesystem with the older ext2fs utils it has 1 inode per 4096 bytes ... (the filesystem has about 77000 inodes which figures about right, I don't see anything unusual I am not sure how i managed to run out of inodes...) what is the general opinion on the number of inodes that should be made on a filesystem? is there any disadvantage to creating much more inodes then default? (i would guess longer fsck times but that is less annoying then running out of inodes...) also what about the larger block size, I imagine this is faster but how much space is really wasted on average by the larger block size? fortunately I am in the process of replacing this box and the lack of inodes is not a huge problem at the moment (i found some files to delete so the system can function properly at least), but I want to avoid this in the future... does anyone know what the rationals were for changing these defaults? thanks Best Regards, Ethan Benson To obtain my PGP key: http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/pgp/
[Debian: XFree86] Linux shut down the VGA-Output
Hello and good afternoon, I am lost !!! Please help !!! I have tried again to install Debian 2.1 but now I have a problem with the configuration of X and can not do anything. OK, I have installed the Base and some selected tasks inclusive XFree86 and fvwm2.

Re: need HELP /* upgrading */
hi, I am trying to upgrade the slink to potato. Got some questions: 1. glibc2.1 is required for most recent applications. The version of it in slink, i believe, is something 2.0.xx. So which package should I upgrade first? run apt-get update and then apt-get -s dist-upgrade. This way you'll be able to see what apt-get will do if you'll use it. 2. How to search a package by name? either in installed list or on ftp site? I am using dselect. From dselect selection list, press /, key in the pacakge name and press enter. Another option is www.debian.org/ditrib/packages. 3. how to uninstall mozilla? It just does not work for me. dpkg --purge mozilla or something like that in case you install the deb package of mozilla. 4. how to make a bootable cdrom for potato (unstable release)? If it can be done, I am going to give it a fresh install instead of upgrading. I know, upgrading is pain in the ***. I've already have 200M main/binary What else do I need? If possible, I'd like to use wget. Upgrading with apt-get is much easier and quicker then making a CD IMHO. thanks, jack -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

I want to use windowmaker with gnome panel.
can anybody share their configs with me?
I can give a description of my current setup.
- I have moved away from windowmaker's dock/clip/etc since trying out
the stable gnome panel. I disabled clip dock with wmakerconf
- I have one visible bottom panel containing deskguide, tasklist,
clock etc.; one auto-hide top panel containing menus, minicommander,
and launcher buttons for frequently-used apps.
This basically replaces my clip dock functionality and seems easier
to manage. They are an elegant concept some app icons would never work
quite right. Also I find the auto-hide useful.
- I disabled all appicons resizebars with the following
~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMWindowAttributes:
{
* = {
NoAppIcon = Yes;
NoResizebar = Yes;
};
}
- windowmaker-gnome ignores gnome panels when maximizing windows; so I
use the no window over icons option as a workaround. Enlarge windows
to full size manually if needed.
- I start up with the following in ~/.xsession:
# install any manual edits to wmaker config files
mv -b ~/GNUstep/Defaults/new/* ~/GNUstep/Defaults
WindowMaker-gnome ~/.xsessionlog 21
Or you could try using gnome-session.

TO recap, here are the errors: loop awe_wave AWE32: not detected modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module synth0 /dev/sequencer: Device not configured /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc/awe_wave.o: post-install awe_wave failed /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc/awe_wave.o: insmod awe_wave failed Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 SB 4.16 detected OK (220) SB16: Bad or missing 16 bit DMA channel YM3812 and OPL-3 driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen, Rob Hooft 1993-1996 Any ideas on what to try next? Should I try another module? Am I missing one? Here's what I have selected (according to modconf): awe-wave, opl3, sb, sound, soundcore, soundlow. Should I select uart401? Deselect opl3? It's not a hardware problem. My mandrake partition has no problems whatsoever. Should I try upgrading/reinstalling another package outside of the kernelspace? I was about to include the isapnp config message from boot time, but it didn't make it into /var/log/messages. Any idea where that might show up? It was detected without any errors that I noticed, anyway. If it'll help: I'm running Debian Potato, 2.2.13, SB AWE64. Thanks, -Chris __ FREE Email for ALL! Sign up at http://www.mail.com

I have make 3 partittions: 1. 64MB for all files that need for boot Linux (in the beginning of my harddisk) - /dev/hdc1 This is good. You should put the following directories on this partition: bin, boot, dev, etc, lib, root, sbin You'll also have empty directories for the various mountpoints (cdrom, floppy, home, initrd, mnt, proc, usr, var, and perhaps tmp) 2. 64MB Swap 3. the rest for all other files (/dev/hdc3) This won't work, since you can't mount parts of a partition on different directories. Instead, you'll want to create one parition to be mounted on /usr, one for /var, and one for /home. You may also want to have one for /tmp, although i just make /var a little larger and symlink /tmp to /var/tmp (if you do this, create a /tmp directory under the /var mountpoint on /dev/hdc1). And, of course, you can have even more partitions if you really want (to keep /usr/local separate from /usr, for example) My disk is set up something like this. Maybe not the best, but it could be worse. i also have a few MB slack, in case i ever discover a pressing need for an extra data partition.

xwindows
I was in xwindows today reading the information under Debian online help and specifically the ethernet Howto, clicked on 3com to read documentation and that's when nothing happened. Everything froze, except my hard drive. The light kept going, blinking but I couldn't exit, shutdown, cntrl/alt/backspace, q, cntrl/alt/del, mouse wouldn't work, keyboard froze, nothing. I had to shut down the power after three hours of nothing happening. I was in root, and I don't know what I may have done to files etc. Can someone please tell me what to do next. I haven't gone back into Debian yet, however I was able to start win95 without a problem and I have cleaned the hard drive and I am going to completely scandisk the hard drive and fix auto. I'll come back to this list in a little while.TIA.Ray Ferrari

Re: Debian GNU/Linux at Linux.com
Personally, I prefer Debian because of its GNU emphasis and I happen to prefer apt to rpm. However, I have nothing but respect for Red Hat for trying to sell Linux to corporates. If Linux is to scale the enterprise, RH will have made a real contribution. Meanwhile, RH suffered commercially by sticking with GNOME when KDE was less free than it is now. That's putting their money where their mouths are and one must respect that. Overall, I wonder if Mr. Groeninger will feel the same when he has had to battle to get Linux into a company after he leaves college. My employers took the plunge with Red Hat because it seems people like IBM, Intel and so on like it as well as the techies. In time I hope to get them onto Debian but RH did make the move to Linux possible in a way the Debian movement is not equipped to.

Re: xwindows
You go back into linux. By default thesystem will detect unclean shutdown and will try to check/fix the partitions. You can look in log files, once you get in , for clues to what happened. /var/log/syslog and ~/.xsession-errors could be a good place to start. Andrew - Andrei S.
