En slink había algunos paquetes que podían dar problemas, y por eso se

que con algún paquete más.

en su página de debian algunas otras cosillas interesantes para slink

I've made an apt-able repository containing the needed updates for slink
to eliminate the known y2k problems. So far, the only package I know of
with y2k problems with no fix is nethack.
the corresponding sources.list line is:

course if your system break even with these updates applied, you get to
keep the pieces...]

Editing Mail Headers...
Hi all:
I have exim set up to call a filter that changes my address in the
From: header from my local address to the one assigned to me by my
ISP. Apparently this changes only the From: content, however, the
From (no colon) heading still shows my local email address.
This has caused some confusion with some people at school. They see
the From address, but not the From: address.
Is there a way to change the From address also? Here is the script I
use (stolen from LG#43):
#!/usr/bin/perl
$address = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
while () {
if (/^From /) { s/.*/$address/; print; last; }
# I added the above to see if it would change the address, but
# it doesn't
if (/^From: /) { s/.*/$address/; print; last; }
print; }
while () { print; }
Is changing the From possible/allowed?
Thanks for any insight...

Re: file permisions in /etc

If you really insist on hiding the contents of the /etc directory from an average user and still allowing the programs to access their config files set the /etc permissions to 711. I don't think that is likely to work since bit one is the execute bit and most config files don't need to be executed, just read by the program that needs them. Cheers, Tom
Re: what happened to netstd?
On 25-Nov-99 George Bonser wrote: Tell me about it. I had to go all over the place stamping out things like rwhod, rsh-server, rthisd and rthatd. That netstd package is a major security problem. I fail to see why it installs all that crap on installation OR on removal. I can understand a metapackage installing a bunch of things but 1. It should be clearly spelled out in the package description what new daemons have been added to the meta package and 2. that REMOVING the package will cause a bunch of stuff to be installed anyway. r services should, in my personal opinion, never be part of a meta-package unless the meta package clearly shows this in its name ... Actually, this is what the debian maintainers are out to fix. Since netstd was required, and the rwhatever services were included in it, you pretty-much had to have them, evne though many (most) never used them. Now, netstd is being broken-up into smaller packages. Since you had netstd, you had rlogind. The way the packages are set up, when you remove netstd, it is replaced with whatever used to be in netstd, like rwhod, rlogind, etc. It seems to be the logical thing to do. Replace netstd with all the new packages that were in netstd. Except now you have to go through and make sure none of those rfoo services are running. Bryan

I'll return with other questions, but for a start: * has anyone had sucess with isdn4net on debian, or is anyone porting it, or writing an easier frontent do the stuff in isdnutils? * is isdnutils the only deb-package needed (any my_brain*10)? * are there any problems using 2.2.12 kernel with slink isdnutils Don't know about Debian since we use Red Hat at work (don't ask why) and I don't ISDN at home, but under Red Hat all I have to do is enable ISDN support in the kernel then tell PPP to use ttyI0.

which always works for mounting rw but does not always work for
remounting ro because after install/upgrades for some reason mount
thinks /usr is busy and refuses to remount it read only. very
irritating especially since i have not found any files opened with

dropping down to single user mode and coming back lets it remount

it looks like you copied the example conf from /usr/share/doc you
should not use that as it is an example and not really suited for
real use.
i have:
DPkg

// Auto re-mounting of readonly /usr
Pre-Invoke {mount -o remount,rw /usr;};
Post-Invoke {mount -o remount,ro /usr;};
}
which always works for mounting rw but does not always work for
remounting ro because after install/upgrades for some reason mount
thinks /usr is busy and refuses to remount it read only. very
irritating especially since i have not found any files opened with
write permission with fuser...
dropping down to single user mode and coming back lets it remount
though, but this is less then convenient... at least it does not ruin
uptimes :-)
Your lines are exactly as mine, aren't they? However I do not think that I have
a problem similar to yours because remounting manually before and after apt-get
runs is working.
Maybe some other setting in /etc/apt/apt.conf changes the behavior of these
lines. Can you email me your /etc/apt/apt.conf?

well yes the lines doing that are the same, however my apt.conf is

complexity was messing things up.

as for my busy /usr yes, that has nothing to do with apt as trying to
remount it readonly manually also fails, its probably some
braindamaged program being started/restarted leaving a file open with
write permission. (the xfs's tend to trigger this)

If you replace a program which is running, the old executable file
is not actually deleted until the last instance of the program has
terminated. Therefore the file system cannot be remounted read only.
If you kill or restart all such programs, you should be able to
remount /usr read only.

Athlon and debian
Hi! We're buying an Athlon based system. I'd like to use Debian with it, but it looks as if that won't be as simple as advertised :) I am aware that I'd need a newer kernel (2.2.13ish) in order to boot. I can possibly do that now (else, I'll beg for one :D), even though it's gonna be too big for 1 disk (I recall someone mentioned that). I just wanted to know if there are any other things one should be aware of in this installation procedure. Ideally, I'd like to install over ftp. I'd really like to go into potato straight away, as the graphics card will not be supported by XF86 3.3.2 (?). So far, I have installed slink and apt-get upgrade-ed it as necessary. Is there a better way? Has someone got any success stories about Debian and Athlon?

Bernhard Rieder said: Eric G . Miller wrote: Well, I have potato with 2.2.13 and StarOffice working fine here. Any idea what the patch applies to? Perhaps I'm not using whatever it is that breaks it. Maybe this applies only to SO 5.1 (from StarDivision) and not to SO 5.1a from Sun but I'm not sure about (I have installed and updated it on my machine since 5.0 but never really used it) Bernhard Rieder I managed to install S.O. 5.1 (StarDivision) with slink and 2.0.36, and it did work fine. Now it's S.O. 5.1a (Sun) the one which I can't have up and working with a partly installed potato and 2.2.10. The problem here is not that it doesn't work, but I can't even install it. As I said earlier, the installation screen shows up frozen, and it hangs the whole system, leaving me with the only alternative of having to press the reset button (so, I won't be giving it many more chances). I looked at kt.linuxcare.org, and through the kernel developers discussion about it. I found no patch whatsoever. I agree that if it is a failure of the program and not of the kernel, the kernel SHOULD NOT be fixed (as there's nothing to fix in it, but in S.O.). Therefore, if kernel 2.2.13 has the fix (and it seems most ppl using it have no problems with S.O.), that's a wrong approach. Instead, patches should be provided, though never integrated with the kernel.

What kernel sound modules I need to have sound here? I'm at lost of what
sound card is this?
BTW, when I tried pnpdump -c /etc/isapnp.conf it freezed.

Re: HP Laserjet 1100
Hi Paulo, I'm one of Shao's friends who uses a hp1100 (great printer btw). To get it printing under Debian I use magicfilter. The other software - gs or gs-aladdin, lpr or lprng is purely your choice. To set up the printer type (as root): magicfilterconfig (delete /etc/printcap if you have one already) The config util will then ask the standard stuff - what do you want the name of the printer to be, what port is it connected to etc Then, when it asks you what filter you want, use the ljet4l filter (I'm not sure if a filter exists just for the hp1100, but the 4L filter has so far handled everything I've given it). Then you'll be ready to print. Hope this helps. Cyrus Paulo Henrique Baptista de Oliveira [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, thanks.

Xlib / imake

I assume I need to configure a library path somewhere for the gcc line to work but which one? Also, why doesn't the Imake work? Surely that should have been configured by the install script or do I need to do something to that too? All suggestions gratefully received.

Re: Sound Card
Hola Paulo,
I checked /usr/src/linux/Documentation and found a document
called ESS ... I've attached it to the foot of this message.
It sounds like you need the soundblaster module (sb.o).
These's another doc specific to the ESS1868, don't know if
this might also apply to your board's chip.
Use the source,

PaulDocumentation for the ESS AudioDrive chips
In 2.2 kernels the SoundBlaster driver not only tries to detect an ESS chip, it
tries to detect the type of ESS chip too. The correct detection of the chip
doesn't always succeed however, so the default behaviour is 2.0 behaviour
which means: only detect ES688 and ES1688.
All ESS chips now have a recording level setting. This is a need-to-have for
people who want to use their ESS for recording sound.
Every chip that's detected as a later-than-es1688 chip has a 6 bits logarithmic
master volume control.
Every chip that's detected as a ES1887 now has Full Duplex support. Made a
little testprogram that showes that is works, haven't seen a real program that
needs this however.
For ESS chips an additional parameter esstype can be specified. This controls
the (auto) detection of the ESS chips. It can have 3 kinds of values:
-1 Act like 2.0 kernels: only detect ES688 or ES1688.
0Try to auto-detect the chip (may fail for ES1688)
688 The chip will be treated as ES688
1688 ,, ,, ,, ,,,, ,, ES1688
1868 ,, ,, ,, ,,,, ,, ES1868

1788 ,, ,, ,, ,,,, ,, ES1788
1887 ,, ,, ,, ,,,, ,, ES1887
1888 ,, ,, ,, ,,,, ,, ES1888
Because Full Duplex is supported for ES1887 you can specify a second DMA
channel by specifying module parameter dma16. It can be one of: 0, 1, 3 or 5.
RE: Joystick on a SB32
From: David Blackman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have my SB32 autoconfigured by my BIOS, with sound support in my kernel, how can I get the joystick port on my SB32 to work without turning off auto-PNP in BIOS, and isapnp'ing it. I'm not sure you can. Somehow the card needs to be told to activate the joystick port, and where to map it (almost always 0x200-0x207). If your BIOS can't, I don't think the kernel drivers are smart enough to.

A gateway solution ?
Hi debian list users; I have a little problem called lack of knowledge. Apart from being the kernel virgin man, I also am the unexperienced in many aspects. Lack of knowledge is nasty, because if I knew what programs to use for what and when, then I would be able to do some more. I'll completely explain the problem here, in hope that someone can orientate me a little regarding this little gateway problem I have. Let's see. I have an internal network here with a possibility of having up to 250 computers for example. Currently we only have 25 internal machines for office work excluding the linux box. The list would be something like this : Machine Operating System IP Address Subnet -- Gateway Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 192.168.1.1255.255.255.0 neilWindows 95192.168.1.2255.255.255.0 intranet1 Windows NT Server 192.168.1.3255.255.255.0 and_so_on Whatever 2000 192.168.1.4255.255.255.0 Now, the question would be the Gateway Machine. I have a machine here with 32Mb, a boot partition of 150 Mb as root file system, a 100 Mb partition mounted as /var and all the rest as swap partition (about 500 Mb). It has a trident VGA card, and three ISA network ethernet cards. Currently installed is Linux, with it's base files from the 7 base install disks. Apart from that, it has installed an iomega zip drive for backups and the first ISA network ethernet card. This ethernet card is configured for the internal network, so it's IP is 192.168.1.1 My next step, which unfortuantly I still haven't been able to install,are the other two ethernet cards. The second ethernet card which has to be installed has to have 10.20.10.10 as it's IP address with subnet being 255.255.255.0 Hmmm, better still, look at the diagram bellow: eth irq io ip_addrsubnet purpose --- eth0 0x300 5 192.168.1.1255.255.255.0 Internal Network eth1 0x340 11 10.20.10.10255.255.255.0 External Network eth2 0x280 15 192.168.1.255 255.255.255.0 Maintenance Entry So, I suppose that you can guess what would need to be done. I don't know what package I have to install in order to to make this linux box a gateway from an internal network, to an external network. I am not sure if it is done by configuring the routing table or what, but I need help here, I am about to get hanged. What would happen is that an internal machine asks for a web page, and it goes to the default gatway through eth0, then it get directed through eth1 to internet, and comes back in the same way. My next step would be to have ipchains or ipmasquerading or both in onearghh I have allready written out my rules for the network and that, so all I need to do is just insert these rules when all is done. So, I hope I am not completely boring you to the floor ae, adduser, apt, base-files, base-passwd, bash, bsdutils, debianutils, diff, dpkg, dpkg-multicd, e2fsprogs, elvis-tiny, fdflush, fdutils, fileutils, findutils, gettext, grep, gzip, hostname, isapnptools, kbd, kbd-data, ldso, libc6, libgdbmg1, libncurses4, libreadlineg, libstdc++2.9, lilo, locales, login, makedev, mawk, modconf, modutils, mount, netbase, newt0.25, ncurses-bin, passwd, perl-base, ppp, pppconfig, procps, sed, setserial, shellutils, slang1, syslogd, syslinux, sysvinit, tar, telnet, textutils, timezones, update, util-linux, whiptail. These are in alphabetical order, and they are the only debian packages currently installed in the system. They come in the base installation. I now have the first ethernet card installed (eth0). It's IP Address is 192.168.1.1 and name is gate.lander.es with subnetmask 255.255.255.0 and no default gateway. This ethernet card will accept connections from the internal machines. I'll set a clear example. I, from my computer (192.168.1.232) open an email program, and conect to mail.alfa.org to recieve my mail. So, my machine is making a connection to the default gateway on port 110. Now, my default gateway (192.168.1.1) has to forward that connection to mail.alfa.org on port 110. So, I would have to forward 2 things here. DNS Server, since mail.alfa.org has to be translated, and a pop3 connection to the outside. I really do hope that I am not breaking your head with all of this stuff. I am just so stuck. People say that someone gets stuck because of lack of knowledge. You see, if I knew what programs to use for what and when, then I wouldn't be so lost in all of this :((( Thanks thanks and very very big thanks in advance. . . Neil

Keep in mind that I am running Debian on a slow computer, so speed is big plus. But a manager that provides nice looking feature is nice too :). Also, i want to install KDE desktop managerCan u guys tell if this package is on the official released binary CDs (SLINK) or do I have to download it from the web?

Re: Sound Card
Hi,
I still dont get the sound configured. It appears that I have a CMI 8330
3D Audio Adapter and a ESS 1869 (two sound cards???!?!?) in the same machine.
My Ethernet card only wants to work in IRQ 5 that is the recommended IRQ
for ESS1868 kernel documentation.
If anyone has a sound card like please write for me with your
