[local (Madrid)] Expo Linux y Linux Expo

2000-03-07 Thread Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona

Hola,

En una semana tenemos en Madrid Expo Linux, y a finales de
abril será Linux Expo. En ambos casos habrá charlas interesantes,
empresas en la parte de exposición, y se espera que muchos visitantes.

En ambos casos nos dejan espacio en un stand para Debian. La
pregunta es: ¿hay gente que quiera organizar un poco el que haya
presencia de Debian en estas ferias? Creo que sería muy importante que 
entre tanta empresa haya presencia de la comunidad, y entre ella, la
gente de Debian es uno de los representantes más claros... Seguro que
los desarrolladores están muy liados, pero toda esa gente que siempre
quiso colaborar con Debian y no sabí acomo tiene su oportunidad
(aunque desde luego, un desarrollador es un desarrollador, y siempre
puede representar mejor a Debian ;-) ). El
mínimo es prepara un par de carteles, y arrimarse por allí a atender
preguntas de la gente, o sólo para dejarse ver. De ahí en adelante,
hasta donde se quiera llegar ;-)

¿Quién se anima? Yo puedo echar una mano, y estar algún rato,
pero no puedo coordinarlo (también estoy como BarraPunto, y eso me va
a quitar bastante tiempo). ¿Alguien se anima? Al menos para Expo Linux 
habría que avisar tan pronto como se pueda que va a haber alguien de
Debian por allí... Ya que tienen el detalle de dejar que vayamos
gratis, habrái que aprovecharlo, ¿no?

Saludos,

Jesus.

El domingo 05 de marzo de 2000 a la(s) 17:03:10 +0100, Ricardo Villalba contaba:

/usr/lib/qt2/include/qwindow.h:29: #error QWindow has gone away

QWindow ya no existe en Qt 2.

 Je, no hay más que ver el qwindow.h:

#ifndef QWINDOW_H
#define QWINDOW_H
#error QWindow has gone away
#endif

 Ya tá :^).


Por lo que veo el x-plorer requiere qt 1, así que para compilarlo
deberías instalar qt1g-dev 1.42 o qt1g-dev 1.44.

Re: Lista fuente para wget

El Sat, Mar 04, 2000,
Jordi...

  ¿si  utilizo  wget con  una  lista  como fuente  para  los
  paquetes, si  la modifico mientras wget  esta bajando algo
  especificado  en  ella,  debo  reiniciarlo  para  que  los
  cambios surtan efecto?

 Supongo  que   debes  reiniciarlo,  pero  ya   sabes,  -c  y
 reconecta...

Pero creo  que hay que tomar  la precaución de eliminar  de la
lista,  al  añadir nuevas  entradas,  las  entradas que  estén
completadas,  porque  sino  empieza  a  bajarse  de  nuevo  el
fichero.

A mi me ha pasado, por ejemplo con el kernel, O:-)

Re: Samba

2000-03-07 Thread Pookie
Si quieres añadir un espacio publico para todos los usuarios, y por lo tanto
comun, crea en el /etc/samba/smb.conf una seccion parecida a la siguiente:

[public]
comment = Espacio publico para todos los usuarios
path = /home/public#(o lo que te de la gana)
public = yes   # esto es lo que hace que no pida pass
writable = yes
printable = no

Y si quieres que solo sea escribible por un grupo de usuariuos (p.ej.
friends) añade la siguiente linea (las demas personas solo tendran permiso
de lectura):

write list = @friends

Nada mas, espero que te sirva de algo :)
Si tienes mas dudas consulta el SMB HOWTO, esto esta extraido de alli :)

  Hay un programa que se llama mpage que permite sacar las páginas que te
interesen de un fichero ps y darle varios formatos. Luego está el gv, que
es como el ghostview, pero con más opciones y colorines. Te recomiendo que
uses ese en vez de ghostview. No hay color, de verdad.

Con el lpr no creo que puedas, no entiende el archivo que está

Tendrás que hacerlo con alguna herramienta que entienda postscript,
para extraer las páginas que te interesan.
En modo texto tienes el psselect (del paquete psutils): man psselect :).
En modo gráfico te puede servir el mismo ghostview, aunque sólo te permite
seleccionar páginas consecutivas. (click  drag con botón izquierdo
sobre lista de páginas, luego menú file-print/save marked pages).
El que más suelo usar es el gv (sucesor del ghostview). Con el botón
derecho seleccionas (click o clickdrag) y después le das a print marked
pages.

Una sugerencia, no utilices ghostview que es ya histórico sino gv que es
mucho más majo. Ahí puedes marcar individualmenle las páginas y decirle
que te imprima únicamente las marcadas.

También puedes utilizar las psutils, concretamente psselect. Si tu
archivo no tiene numeraciones raras,

psselect -p357-400 tu_documento.ps | lpr

te sacará por impresora lo que quieres.

fetchmail: realloc failed: No se pudo asignar memoria

Me pasa con todas las cuentas, incluso he probado con una local y lo
mismo.
He reinstalado el fetchmail por si acaso, pero nada.

 Prueba reinstalando las libs con las que está compilado,
aunque
 eso de reinstalar en Unix me da que no... :^).

$ ldd /usr/bin/fetchmail
libcrypt.so.1 = /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x40018000)
libresolv.so.2 = /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x40045000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40054000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000)


El fetchmail que tengo (el de slink) sólo depende de libc6, la he
reinstalado por si acaso, pero nada sigue igual.

Probé a mirar con el strace a ver que intentaba hacer
(strace -o/tmp/ficherin fetchmail -) pero el ficherín empezó a
crecer y crecer, y al final lo paré cuando ya ocupaba más de 16 megas.
Por lo visto no paraba de llamar una y otra vez a remap, si no recuerdo

 Buenas.

 ¿Cómo puedo  cambiar el  puerto del  ftp y  del telnet?  El del

 esos dos  que cito,  la cosa  está en  inetd y  no sé  dónde tocar.
 ¿Quizá poniendo el  número del puerto que quiero  como primer campo

Hjälp önskas: Översätta www.debian.org

2000-03-07 Thread peter karlsson
Hej!

Jag söker (fortfarande) hjälp att översätta www.debian.org till svenska. Som
det är nu har jag något mindre tid än tidigare över, vilket gör att vissa
översättningar tar längre tid att få till än de gjorde tidigare.

Det mesta är redan översatt, så det gäller i första hand att hålla
översättningarna uppdaterade, och översätta nya saker som kommer in
(nyhetsartiklar och säkerhetsnotiser etc.).

Du måste kunna använda CVS och kunna HTML. Perlkunskaper är ett klart plus,
men inget krav. Och så måste du kunna skriva ordentlig svenska.

Svar till mig personligen.

Configuration of local mailserver behind linux firewall - HELP!

2000-03-07 Thread doug
Hello,

I have a linux (2.2.X kernel) box that I am using as a firewall between
my internal network and our new ADSL modem.  I am currently working on
configuring the ipchains on the linux box to protect my internal
systems.

Question: My internal mailserver is currently running on a HP-UX C3000
which
is behind the firewall (IP: 192.168.XXX.XXX).  I need to configure my
linux firewall to pass the SMTP transmissions to and from my server.

What is the best way of doing this?

Are there any additional pitfalls I should be aware of to make my
systems as secure as possible?

Thank you for your time!

Re: Can no-one help? Gnome has lost all but the basic icons on desktop

2000-03-07 Thread Phillip Deackes
This is definately becoming a monlogue!!

Further to my problem of desktop icons missing from Gnome (gmc) I now
have a solution. I am surprised no-one pointed it out, but there again I
only tried it as a last resort.

I created a new user and found that this user had all the correct Gnome
icons on the desktop. This led me to suspect the configuration files in
my home directory. I removed ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome-desktop and logged in
as me.

I must say I was very pleased to see that I now had all my desktop icons
intact.

I think that upgrading from Storm Rain (=Slink) to Potato (and hence
upgrading to Potato Gnome apps and libs) caused the problem. I
understand it is part of Debian received wisdom that no file in ~/ is
tampered with during an install or upgrade. Is this so?

ipchains/firewall

2000-03-07 Thread ktb
I've read through the ipchains howto and the man page and the firewall howto
and I'm confused.  My setup will have a firewall and two other computers
hooked together through a hub.  I will access the web through dialup/squid.
I have Debian Slink running on the firewall and one of my other computers
also.  These two I'm trying to get working together.  I can ping and Telnet
just fine between the two.  My question is do I have to have ipchains set up
on both computers?  I am under the impression that I have to compile
ipchains into both computer's kernels by selecting the firewall options in
makeconfig.  Or do I just set up and configure ipchains from within the
firewall computer?
Thanks,

Smoke,

I am far less qualified to answer the specific questions you have about the
files needed to install, as I have always used a CD (_very_ cheap from many
places), but I do suggest that you possibly look at a distribution like
RedHat or Suse.  With the feelings you express about having to learn unix
commands, those are IMHO better choices for you until you get your feet wet 
(at least, I Think Suse fits you better.  Redhat for sure.).  After you
figure out whether you like the OS or not, you might consider Debian a better
choice.  

Linux is a Unix offshoot. Learning its language is going to be unavoidable
for you if you plan to do more than fire up a couple of GUI apps under X. 
But don't rush into Linux expecting the world of it.  Unlike Windows, things 
are not hidden from you and done in some fashion considered optimal for all
users.  Programs do get set up using a default, but you can tune it the way
You want it.  You'll know far more about your computer by the time you feel
handy with Linux.

How to use it comes with patience, time, and a sense of adventure.  Something
like--Linux.  Not just an OS. It's an adventure!  :-)

Good luck!

TTF problems

2000-03-07 Thread Carlos Henrique Santos Laviola
Hi people,

I have installed xfstt on my system, and it works great, but I still 
have a problem with it: I can't display characters like the ' in Joe's 
correctly (they look like Joe?s on the screen). I have heard that's a 
encoding problem, so I put on my /etc/init.d/xfstt:

ARGS=--port $portno $daemon --user $newuser --encoding 
iso8859-1,windows-1252

I have the newest version of xfstt (1.1.6).

Also, do you have any tips on getting TrueType fonts to work with 
StarOffice / WordPerfect 8? I could convert my TTF fonts to Type1 (.pfb) 
and then display (most of) them on the screen with StarOffice, but it 
refuses to print something I write with them.

Please redirect answers to my e-mail (I am not subscribed to the list).

Thank you very much,

I think I have asked this question before... but none of the sugestions
seem to work...

My problem is in getting Eterm to grab the console messages.  I have
tried suid root, I have tried to run Eterm as root.  I have even tried
to change the owener of /dev/console.  Nothing works... the Eterm just
opens up and gives me a command prompt (normal Eterm usage).  Is there
anything I am overlookiing?  I am stumped!  I know it can be done...

Re: Bug#59683: xdm: when upgrading xdm to gdm xdm daemon fails to shutdown.

2000-03-07 Thread elijah wright

  probably just needs a package script change... :)
 You did not provide me with nearly enough information to know what you're
 talking about.
 I suspect you're assuming that gdm and xdm cannot coexist.  They can, but
 they need to be careful that don't both try to manage the same servers.
 Please describe your scenario on debian-user and get back to me if there is
 an actual bug here.

ok.  sorry i didn't give more information, but i've never used the bug
submit system before.  i dunno what's expected.  lemme
explain.  (debian-user is the mailing list, right?)

generic slink r2 system, immediately updated to potato-current.

followed by:

apt-get install gdm

says that it will remove xdm and install gdm.  ok, this happens.  sort of.

when xdm is 'removed', the already-running copy doesn't exit.  so gdm,
when it starts up, tries to take over the same server.

what would be great would be for the script that removes xdm to also take
the time to shut down any copies of the server that are running.  its a
trivial thing, but it would really be nice.

a reboot certainly would have fixed this issue for me, but it would be
much cleaner to have the thing shut down as it gets uninstalled (this
seems to be a semi-standard feature of daemons that are getting
removed... xdm is the first one i've seen that doesn't do it.)

make more sense?

 Refer to other threads, but you can get round this with

Re: installing- last try before win98

2000-03-07 Thread Ross Boylan
Let's keep this on the list, so others can see and comment.

I don't think the old partitions are causing the problem, though I'm a
little puzzled: you say you have a new hard drive with windows 3.1, but you
also referred to windows 98.

I've been using the beta system (potato) so slink (what you have, I think)
might be a little different.  But potato is very picky about where you put
the files it's looking for.  You need to replicate the whole directory
structure for it to find things  (this may be improved before release).  So
you need something like
\mydownload\main\disks-i386, and maybe more depending on the file.

I'm assuming you downloaded the files to your hard drive under windows.
You should tell the install program that you want to get the file off your
harddisk when it asks where
to find base2_1.

Another possibility is that the file was corrupted during the download; in
particular, if it was transferred in a text mode, instead of binary, it
won't work.  The fact that you were able to get the boot floppies working
suggests that you do not have a mode problem, however.

At 12:34 PM 3/5/00 -0800, you wrote:

could the fact that dos is in the boot sector stop the base file from

should i just wipe out dos? i was hoping to leave it on in case of emergency.
the files size is still 9.9 megs so i don't think the base file  was touched

 Hello All,
 
 I am using loadlin to load up a kernel from from

You may have a problem with the large disk.  RTFM LILO WRT linear
option.

What kind of drive is this?  IDE or SCSI (more below).  From the
/dev/hda references, I'm assuming IDE.

 I have a Pentium 200 CPU with MMX and 32 MB memory.

Buy more RAM! g  Not related to your current problem, but

 I compiled a custom 2.0.36 before and it worked
 without a problem. 
 
 I then wiped the linux partition, installed the base
 slink system again and used apt-get dist-upgrade to
 upgrade
 to a potato system. The kernel did not get upgraded
 even though it was a stock 2.0.36 kernel.
 
 Anyway, I downloaded the 2.2.14 kernel source deb
 package and used a config similar to the one I had
 used 
 for my 2.0.36 kernel.

You need to re-run LILO when you install a new kernel, if you're booting
with LILO.

 The 2.2.14 kernel starts ok but right after :
 
 Freeing unused kernel memory : 36k freed
 
 it says:
 
 Kernel panic. init not found. Pass init= option to the
 kernel.
 
 I tried using rdev on my custom 2.0.36 kernel (which
 works)
 
 rdev linux.20
 
 Root device /dev/hda5
 
 rdev linux.22
 
 Root device /dev/hda5
 
 and /dev/hda5 is where / is located so that does not
 seem
 to be the problem.
 
 What am I doing wrong or is this a kernel bug ?
 
 
 Here is the config file for 2.2.14

Hmmm...  Looking at the SCSI options, you've configured AIC7XXX as
a module.  Are you using a SCSI disk?  If so, you'll need an initrd
to mount your HD, as modules are loaded from disk *after* you boot.
Note the dilemma -- need module to read disk, need to read disk to
get module  Better yet, compile the SCSI support into the kernel.
If you don't need the support, drop the SCSI stuff.

Don't Panic.  Slow down.  Read the instructions.

If you're not willing to do all of the above, go back to the Evil One.
You and Linux may not be ready for one another yet.

First off, where are you finding your getting started, DOS install
stuff?  Did you download the files?  Got a URL?  Did you buy or
otherwise obtain a CDROM?  What's it say on it? 

Several of us with Debian don't find ourselves installing the
system every days (it runs, we don't have to), and while the installation
process has common elements, it's also got common features between
variants.  Without knowing what you're dealing with, I can't offer more
specific information.

There should be documentation, quite possibly in a file name README.
I'd suggest you read it.

You may also find the following references useful:
  http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/install

It sounds as if you're using the floppyless method described at 5.3.1 of
this page:
  http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/ch-install-methods.en.html

Please respond detailing exactly what commands you are entering, and
what output you are getting from the system.  You may want to capture
output, I believe ctrl-P in DOS will capture all output to your
printer, if connected.  Logging your session would be useful.

It would also be helpful to know:

 - What kind of hard drive(s) do you have (IDE or SCSI)?
 - How many of same.
 - Partitioning of same.


 WHAT IS THE KERNEL out of these files? IS LINUX SUPPOSED TO
 HAVE
 AN EXTENSION?

The Linux kernel is usually a file named linux, vmlinuz, or vmlinux,
sometimes with a numeric extension following like 2.0.36 or 2.2.13.

The Linux kernel is not a DOS executable.  It usually does not have an
.exe extension, though this is arbitrary.  Linux executables are marked
with a filesystem attributed, not by filename extensions.

I'd suggest doing a DOS directory listing and posting that with your
problem:

dir  dir.txt

 IF I DO GET AN INSTALLATION TO WORK WILL I SEE A GRAPHICS PAGE OR
 JUST
 #
 #
 #
 # ?

You'll probably find yourself looking at a console.  Yes.  Text.  Linux
can (and often is configured for) boot GUI, but it's not part of the
Debian process currently.

 i want to learn linux, but if it is uninstallable without knowing unix
 commands i will
 buy windows 98.

With those expectations, I'd honestly suggest you buy Windows 98. 

If you don't mind learning something, pick up a few books --
Learning Debian GNU/Linux will walk you through the installation
process and give you the basics of Debian.  Running Linux will give
you bit of system administration and features information.  Linux in a
Nutshell does a good job of summarizing commands and features.  All
three are available from O'Reilly.  Learning Debian GNU/Linux is
available online at O'Reilly's website: http://www.ora.com/.

 i have compacted a second harddrive, and ran fips. 

A compressed (is this what you mean by compacted?) drive will cause
problems.  Do you mean a physical drive, or multiple partitions on a
single drive?

 i have two
 partitions. i have the
 files required according to the getting started page in a file on the
 dos partition.
 WHAT DO I TYPE IN FOR THE KERNAL?
 is the base 2-1.tgz a compressed file i have to unzip?

Yes.  This should be covered in the instructions.

LILO shouldn't touch your partition table.  It may overwrite your MBR,

 I am using loadlin, which I heard could be used with

You may still have to append a linear or disk geometry option to

 I only have one IDE hard drive. The only reason I am
 using the Adaptec scsi card is for my scsi scanner. I
 am also builing the generic and scsi emulation support
 as modules so that I can make the kernel see my CDRW
 drive as a SCSI device instead of an IDE ATAPI device
 so that I can use the cdrecord utility to record CDs.
 
 Maybe SCSI support in the kernel instead of as modules
 is the way to go - though frankly I don't understand
 why since I don't have SCSI hard drives.
 
 Also, why should the kernel behave differently from
 2.0 to 2.2  in this case ?
  
   
   I am using loadlin to load up a kernel from from
   Windows 95 partition. Since my BIOS is old and my
  hard
   disk is new, I am using the EZ Drive disk manager
  for
   my 10 GB hard drive.
  
  You may have a problem with the large disk.  RTFM
  LILO WRT linear
  option.
  
  What kind of drive is this?  IDE or SCSI (more
  below).  From the
  /dev/hda references, I'm assuming IDE.
  
   I have a Pentium 200 CPU with MMX and 32 MB
  memory.
  
  Buy more RAM! g  Not related to your current
  problem, but
  
   I compiled a custom 2.0.36 before and it worked
   without a problem. 
   
   I then wiped the linux partition, installed the
  base
   slink system again and used apt-get dist-upgrade
  to
   upgrade
   to a potato system. The kernel did not get
  upgraded
   even though it was a stock 2.0.36 kernel.
   
   Anyway, I downloaded the 2.2.14 kernel source deb
   package and used a config similar to the one I had
   used 
   for my 2.0.36 kernel.
  
  You need to re-run LILO when you install a new
  kernel, if you're booting
  with LILO.
  
   The 2.2.14 kernel starts ok but right after :
   
   Freeing unused kernel memory : 36k freed
   
   it says:
   
   Kernel panic. init not found. Pass init= option to
  the
   kernel.
   
   I tried using rdev on my custom 2.0.36 kernel
  (which
   works)
   
   rdev linux.20
   
   Root device /dev/hda5
   
   rdev linux.22
   
   Root device /dev/hda5
   
   and /dev/hda5 is where / is located so that does
  not
   seem
   to be the problem.
   
   What am I doing wrong or is this a kernel bug ?
   
   
   Here is the config file for 2.2.14
  
  Hmmm...  Looking at the SCSI options, you've
  configured AIC7XXX as
  a module.  Are you using a SCSI disk?  If so, you'll
  need an initrd
  to mount your HD, as modules are loaded from disk
  *after* you boot.
  Note the dilemma -- need module to read disk, need
  to read disk to
  get module  Better yet, compile the SCSI support
  into the kernel.
  If you don't need the support, drop the SCSI stuff.

question on modconf

2000-03-07 Thread john smith
I have successfully updated my kernel from 2.2.13 to 2.2.14 but when I 
issued the command modconf I noticed that there are only two categories of 
modules misc and net, what happened to the rest? and furthermore, the 
modules that are in the misc and net are incomplete compared to the modules 
from out of the box 2.2.13. do I have to install something else to make the 
category of modules complete? I think I may be missing something? there were 
no error messages or missing files by the way when I compiled the new 
kernel.


any info will be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

Re: Remote Printing

Have you rebooted after making the setting?
Did you try redirection?
# cat /etc/fstab  /dev/laser
Whats the output of ps -ef on the remote machine?
are both the queue daemon and the lp daemon in the output?

It is worth trying the same thing from the remote printer itself..
setting its local queue as a remote queue, then try printing 
or better yet if you have a third Linux machine, so you can isolate the
source of the problem.
Is it harulu or vayu..

Re: installing- last try before win98

2000-03-07 Thread mahdi


I haven't used this method of installation but I can answer a few of your
questions:

1-  The kernel file name should be vmlinuz

the images you seem to have downloaded look like the root and rescue
  diskettes

2- The *.tgz file is a gzipped tar archive, so if you have a utility which
  deals with this, you can uncompress it, however, I am not sure if
  there is a DOS

utility that does this.

3- You will get a command line prompt, and no graphical installation, but
  you will have a list of options to choose from and to guide you
  through the Installation.

4- Don't waste your money on win98, because with Linux:

   You will get a powerful OS with much more features. Although it is
  harder to deal with.

   Linux being hard to deal with helps you learn more about Operating
  systems and so will be more beneficial to you in the long run.

   Linux  is an open source OS, which means you can truly dig in to your
  problems or get a more professional advice from mailing lists or the
  web

   Linux can also be tailored to fit your needs, while windows doesn't have
  the capability to be changed.

   Think of the things you can buy instead of Windows with that money.

Think about that when making your decision

SCSI disk failure

2000-03-07 Thread Anton Emmerfors
Hi,

This is not strictly Debian related, but lots of competent people
dwell on this list so...

Yesterday I came home to find that my Quantum Fireball SCSI-disk had
produced an Unrecoverable read error. From kern.log:

--8--
kernel: scsi0: MEDIUM ERROR on channel 0, id 0, lun 0, CDB: Read (10) 00 00 25 
73 90 00 00 02 00

kernel: scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:05, sector 221318
kernel: (scsi0:0:0:0) Performing Domain validation.
kernel: (scsi0:0:0:0) Successfully completed Domain validation.

and so on for a few more sectors...
--8--

All sectors were within sda5 so I thought this would be fixable.  I
tried fscking it and when that didn't work, scsiformat (it only served
as temporary backup space -- no important data) but not even a
lowlevel format can be performed. scsiformat complains that:

--8--
SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 6328861 [3090 MB]

Current error sd08:00: sense key Medium Error
Additional sense indicates Unrecovered read error
scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
 unable to read partition table
--8--

Is there any other method, however ugly, to get this disk into shape
or should I consider it to be in doorstop mode?

TIA!

Problems with DHCPCD and/or pump

2000-03-07 Thread Hausheer, Geoffrey
I installed the 'frozen' distribution onto my laptop last week, (as a
replacement for Slack).  Everything seems to work great except that my
network connection is flaky.  On bootup it randomly either gets starts the
dhcp client daemon or doesn't.  I have tried using both pump and dhcpcd and
get the same results.  I alsways see the Starting dhcp client daemon:
dhcpcd. message, but sometimes the lights on the cable-modem flash (in
which case a 'ps ax' shows dhcpcd (or pump) running) and sometimes I don't.
When I log in as root, I and run '/etc/init.d/dhcpcd start' (or pump) the
dhcp client alwaysstarts up.  This is really driving me nuts (especially
since it is not easily reproducable).  Does anyone have any ideas?

The only two things I could think of were:
the dhcp client is started immediately after the pcmcia driver (the
network operates through my pcmcia network card).  Could the card take some
time after cardmgr et al are brought up before it is ready to go?

my /etc/networks/interfaces file has no entry for eth0 (the network
card)  should it?

Thanks,
Geoffrey Hausheer


php3 does not support postgres?

2000-03-07 Thread Alberto Maurizi

I know the subject is false: php3 DOES support Postgres.
But in my (daily upgraded) potato it seems not to.
A very simple call to pg_connect returns:

Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function pg_connect()
in functions.php3 on line 17

In the apache configuration the following line is present:
LoadModule php3_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp3.so
No other references to PG or PHP modules are present.

Does anybody have an idea of what to do to activate
postgres functions in php3?

A typical Debian install is done in two phases: the base install, which is just 
enough to
have a minimal system, and the rest of the install, which includes such fancies 
as the
X Window System and emacs and samba and anything else you might want to 
install. The
base_2_1.tgz file, and what you've installed so far, is only the base portion.

In order to finish the install with the dialup configuration you need to 
either have
the .debs stored locally (on a DOS partition or floppies, etc) which is 
generally not
very efficient, or you need a Debian CD-ROM or better yet, a net connection.

If you have a net connection (LAN, modem + ISP, etc), you'll need to get that 
working
before you can finish up the install. The base install typically has everything 
you need
to get your LAN or ISP connection working. (Be aware that most internal PCI 
modems are
winmodems and won't work with Linux, so you may need to invest in a real 
modem in order
to finish up.) Alternatively, you could download the .debs to your DOS 
partition or to
floppies, but I assure you that's a pain. Or as mentioned, you can acquire a 
Debian CD,
but a net connection would get you newer packages than you'd likely get from a 
CD.

I would turn on CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF.  I know the docs say that if you

I recently got exactly the same result from switching to

I don't know where the best place is. It depends on the way you configure your

Personally I keep it directly under /etc/init.d as a sysV-script. From there I

compiling new kernel

2000-03-07 Thread Beavis
this is what i am doing:


Once that is all done and you choose Exit and save your config file, you
must run make dep followed by make clean. And now the fun begins, type make
bzImage to build your kernel. This will take awhile (15mins+) so go browse
our site a little and send us some feedback ;). Instead of make bzImage,
you can also do make zdisk which will write your kernel to a floppy disk
instead.
Now that it's done, you have to do make modules followed by make
modules_install and that should be it for the Kernel if all goes well. Now
it's time to set up LILO. First you have to move the newly created Kernel
to your /boot directory. Do this by typing cp
/usr/src/linux-2.2.x/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.x. Next would
be to move the System.map file to your /boot directory. Do that by typing
cp /usr/src/linux-2.2.x/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.x.

..but i get

cp: /usr/src/linux-2.2.14/arch/i386/boot/bzImage:  No such file or directory

any ideas?


How to add a user to a group on the fly

2000-03-07 Thread Kent West
If I want to add my normal user (westk) to the
dialout group, I know I can (as root) edit the
/etc/group file and add westk to the end of the
dialout line. However, I then have to log out (and
shut down vmware and NT-on-vmware) and shut down
X, etc, then log back in and fire everything back
up in order to get the change to take affect. Is
there any way I can get the change to take affect
without logging out/logging back in?

exim and spam relay

2000-03-07 Thread John Kuhn
This story begins on an ancient R3000 based SGI Indigo running IRIX 5.3.
Due to my own negligence, this machine had open mail relaying.  One night
recently a spammer discovered this machine and used it to send spam.
The following morning, I had a few e-mails addressed to me kindly pointing
out my oversight.  I immediately removed the machine from the network
until the relaying and other problems were fixed.

Shortly after this incident, this machine was retired and replaced with
a PC running Debian.  It is currently running Debian 2.1r5 with exim 2.05-2.
This was a planned transition that was unrelated to the mail relaying.
Since the name and IP address remained the same as the old machine, the
Debian machine inherited the history as a known spam relayer.  Today it
remains on at least one list of insecure mailservers - The MAPS Relay
Spam Stopper (RSS) http://maps.vix.com/rss/.

Below is a portion of the relay test log for this machine which indicates
why it is still blacklisted.  Note that I have changed my machine name
and IP address to protect the guilty - that would be me.

Assume:
   my true IP address:  192.1.1.1
   my true machine name:  badhost.corp.com

Is there a way to configure exim to return a 5xx response code to this

Configuration of local mailserver behind linux firewall - HELP!

2000-03-07 Thread doug
Hello,

I have a linux (2.2.X kernel) box that I am using as a firewall between
my internal network and our new ADSL modem.  I am currently working on
configuring the ipchains on the linux box to protect my internal
systems.

Question: My internal mailserver is currently running on a HP-UX C3000
which
is behind the firewall (IP: 192.168.XXX.XXX).  I need to configure my
linux firewall to pass the SMTP transmissions to and from my server.

What is the best way of doing this?

Are there any additional pitfalls I should be aware of to make my
systems as secure as possible?

Thank you for your time!

remote printing broken due to PAM?

2000-03-07 Thread fairfax
After I installed Potato on my machine, I noticed that remote printing from the 
Windows boxes on my network was failing.  Looking into the problem, I noted 
entries like this in auth.log when I tried to print:

PAM_unix[535]: authentication failure; (uid=0) - scmartin for samba service 

I have never used PAM before, but it was necessary to install it this time, 
several other packages are dependent on it.  All I have loaded is 
libpam_modules, libpam_runtime and libpam0g.  Do I need to install libpam_smb, 
or is this a password authentication problem?  (That is, do I need to do 
something to the password database to correct this?)

 I think that upgrading from Storm Rain (=Slink) to Potato (and hence

I don't believe personal config files are modified during
installs/upgrades, but often the *format* of said configuration files
can change. The gnome files in Slink and the gnome files in Potato are
separated by almost a years worth of development. It would not be
unheared of for the format of the configuration files to have changed
and Gnome to have been confused.

  to your /boot directory. Do this by typing cp
  /usr/src/linux-2.2.x/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.x. Next
 would
  be to move the System.map file to your /boot directory. Do that by typing
  cp /usr/src/linux-2.2.x/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.x.
 
  ..but i get
 
  cp: /usr/src/linux-2.2.14/arch/i386/boot/bzImage:  No such file or
 directory
 
  any ideas?

Re: compiling new kernel

2000-03-07 Thread John Leget
Ughh, just run an additional command ( after youve installed bin86 re previous 
email)

make install

does the work of copying and running lilo at the end.

Id suggest you modify /etc/lilo.conf to also point to a known working kernel 
and
have a resue disk and maybe even a boot disk handy.
They come in handy when things dont work out as expected

Ummm, speaking from personal experience of course

cheers

 update:

 after doing make bzImage, it starts to compile, which takes about 10 mins or
 so right.
 then at the end it says:

 as86 -0 -a -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s

 why is this happening?
 i went over a redid the make menuconfig and even checked to make sure it
 saved properly .config in /usr/src/linux-2.2.14

  this is what i am doing:
 
 
  Once that is all done and you choose Exit and save your config file,
 you
  must run make dep followed by make clean. And now the fun begins, type
 make
  bzImage to build your kernel. This will take awhile (15mins+) so go
 browse
  our site a little and send us some feedback ;). Instead of make bzImage,
  you can also do make zdisk which will write your kernel to a floppy disk
  instead.
  Now that it's done, you have to do make modules followed by make
  modules_install and that should be it for the Kernel if all goes well.

 Greetings:
 
 I'm trying to get a better than VGA resolution on the console with a
 G400 card. So far, I've gotten the console driver to work minimally
 but I can't get it into a mode I want.
 
 Here's what I get in dmesg:
 
 matroxfb: Matrox unknown G400 (AGP) detected
 Invalid vesa mode 0x01B8

You have to convert that number for lilo. For instance, I have

image=/vmlinuz
label=linux-2.2.14
read-only
append=video=matrox:vesa:280

in /etc/lilo.conf.  That's 32bpp, 1024x768

See linux/Documentation/fb/matroxfb.txt for more info...

 matroxfb: 640x480x0bpp (virtual: 640x13104)

 But when I use fbset to change modes, (even if I specify the current
 mode) I get this:
 
 owl:~# fbset 640x480-60

 Has anyone out there had better success with a G400?

Which means that you need to install the bin86 package.  

If I may inquire, why are you trying to compile a 2.2.x kernel for a
i386?  That's going to hurt.  I compiled a 2.0.x kernel on my old 486
and it took over 5 hours!  

Well, hope this helps.

 there any way I can get the change to take affect

sg dialout

or newgrp dialout

as long as you are a member of the group (in /etc/group) this will
work, note that it will change your primary group to dialout meaning
all files created after the sg will be owned by westk.dialout.  

if you are not a member of the group as written in /etc/group you will
be promted for a passwd.  newgrp and sg work much like su.  

 Thanks!
