Contrase~na para SMTP
Hola! Tengo un pequeño inconveniente: Mi ISP me solicita un nombre de usuario y contraseña para enviar correo via smtp, así que rechaza el correo que envio por SMAIL. De momento estoy usando el correo de netscape para solucionar el 'inconveniente'. Pero me gustar'ia usar mis otros MUA's. Alguien sabe como hacer para que SMAIL o EXIM evien el nombre de usuario y la contraseña al smart-host? o, tal vez, un MTA que lo haga?

IP-masq, RDSI y problemas
Hola a todos: Hace poco monte una RDSI sobre un 486 que habia por ahi con ip-masq, y ahora da servicio a toda la red de una academia, el problema es que, aparte de que las cotas de tranferencia no son todo lo buenas que se esperaba (entorno a 8kb por el dia), hay momentos en los que el servidor no encamina paquetes de los ordenadores de la red, aunque desde el si te puedes conectar a internet... he usado como herramienta de monitoreo el iptraf, y me de que más de la mitad de los paquetes tienen checksum erroneo. A ver si alguien me puede dar una pista de por donde mirar para ver por donde puede venir el fallo, pues se conecta y todo va bien, pero al rato se empieza a ir como parando, en ese momento, paras la conexión y la vuelves a relanzar y todo vuelve a ir normal, pero no es plan, como es natural. Gracias por adelantado. P.D: Todos los equipos clientes tienen instalado W95. -- Saludos. Antonio. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It would only crash when it got to files associated with the bad area of the disk, and these files were infrequently accessed by anything else and so it didn't appear to be hardware related, but in the end it was. I've also seen similiar things with bad memory. The particular chip was high in the address range and so the system ran fine until a LOT of memory was needed and then it accessed the bad chip and would crash. Gary
AIC 7870 scsi freezes slink install
Hi all. Setting up a proxy server for a small company who had Red Hat installed and had locked themselves out. Being a Debian fan, I set about redoing the whole thing using slink. Install freezes at the point where the partitions are being assigned on the hard disk. I never get beyond the installer doing mkswap /dev/sda2 as it locks at that point. Repartitioning the disk causes a freeze at the point where the fdisk is writing the new partition table. I tried using Tom's Repair Disk to partition the disk. No problems at all. In fact, SuSE 5.2 which s over 2 years old installed flawlessly. Is this a known problem? Id there a special rescue disk for scsi installations? Debian is MUCH easier to support than SuSE for me so if there's a way to install slink before returning the box tomorrow I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance, Patrick Kirk

In this case, /8 means to use the first 8 bits for the netmask, leaving 24 for the node, translating to dotted decimal of 255.0.0.0 ( ).

Re: ssh
On 13 Mar, Beavis wrote i need help setting my linux box up for a ssh connenction using putty on win98 wanna contact linux box via ssh what do i need to load to setup up authticatyion First, you need to be running sshd on your linux box. It's available as a debian package, however I believe you need to set your sources for apt to point to a server outside the US to even have it available for installation in dselect (or whatever apt front-end you use). This may change soon as the US recently modified it's laws governing the export of cryptographic software. Does putty support ssh? If not, you need a piece of software that does. Take a look at TeraTerm. It's a free telnet client for windows. There is an additional module that will allow TeraTerm to 'speak ssh.' You will notice that there are two ssh daemons available for debian linux. ssh ssh2. TeraTerm uses the ssh1 protocol. TeraTerm's ssh support is great in that it easily supports X11 tunneling. You can also tunnel any other ports through the secure ssh connection, ftp comes to mind. Good luck, Jason

ntop and nfs in potato
Hi, sorry for the not very specific subject line, but I have a very strange problem in potato concerning StarOffice, ntop and nfs. I am running an up to date potato with kernel 2.2.14 and user space nfs. If I start either StarOffice or ntop in an xterm the machine gets completly locked (no keyboard, no mouse and no ssh possible). At console 1 I see messages which are to fast to read, but I can seen the ip number of the nfs server distributing /home and /usr. The logs (daemon.log) of the nfs server show: Mar 14 06:34:05 nfs-server inetd[110]: /usr/sbin/tcpd: exit status 0x1 Mar 14 06:34:05 nfs-server rpc.mountd[16847]: connect from nfs-client Mar 14 06:34:05 nfs-server mountd[16847]: unable to register (mountd, 2, udp). Interestingly ntop works on the console, (I can not try soffice there :-( ). The same thing happens on a machine which has /usr local and only mounts /home. I am not surprised by a strange behaviour of StarOffice, but whats about ntop ? Any idea whats going on here ? Cheers Daniel _ Daniel Faller Fakultaet fur Physik Abt.

I didn't compile the server myself but used the RPM from SuSE. There is also a kernel patch included in this RPM. There is also a kernel patch included in the X-sources but this needs a little more work to compile nicely. For everyone's information. I pulled down the sources to xfree86-1 (with apt-get) unpacked the original distribution tarball, found the module in the source tree. Tried the makefile as shipped but it didn't work. The comments in the makefile point out that it is simple to roll your own makefile if that doesn't work. I just ended up compiling it by hand (using all the parameters that make would have passed to gcc) stuck agpgart.o in the right spot, configured X and off it went. Stuart Bernhard
mount directory part to new partition
Hello, Besides tar cvf.tar xvf Is there any other way to move a directory part to newly created partition? e.g. I want the /usr (became too big) to move it in a new partition and after this to mount /usr to this partition? ps The problem is that thereis no space left in the current partition (Available 0%), so I suppose thatI should use something to dump /usr into /dev/newpartition Thanks

Some comments on Storm Linux (Debian in disguise)
Hello there, There have been a couple of postings recently regarding Storm Linux which uses Debian as it's base. I just thought I'd post my experiences with this dist. I downloaded the iso image that is available at http://www.stormix.com/download/index_html and burnt a CD from this image. I then proceded to install on a HP 4100 laptop and a PII 400 with multiple disks. In both cases the graphical installer failed to work, click text install and all is ok. On the PII 400 I wanted to install on the second IDE hard disk, there is already a /usr 'Slink' partition at /dev/hdb1 on this drive, the installer would not let me do this! It created the partitions, a 4G / and a 96 Meg swap partition but refused to install to these. It also left the partitions on the drive, but to no avail, I removed these with fdisk. So on to the laptop, I set up a 16 Meg /boot, a 4 GByte / and a 98 Meg swap partition. The installer asked me what I wished to install, when I clicked details for the various sections of the install no packages were shown! Oh well, I'll just install everything, which I believe is the default anyway! The installation completed normally and I presumed that everything was installed. At least that's what I asked for. However after examining the installation I see the following problems. i) The PCMCIA package appears to be missing ii) The kernel headers are in /usr/src but there is no kernel source The CD does not contain a packages file so I couldn't run dselect on the installation CD. The apt/sources.list file points at Stormix's ftp site, fine but if I have no network or I use PCMCIA ethernet? The storm package manager, (a graphical front end to dselect) looks very spiffy but is of no use if I can't use the installation CD and have no fast http/ftp access to the ftp site. So in conclusion I'm rather dissapointed, if I had been at work on the network fine, but on a standalone laptop? These are just what I found, perhaps I missed something? Don't flame me if you disagree, they'll just go to /dev/null.

Need parameters for lance ethernet on install
I need help installing and I'm at an impasse. I'm trying to install debian linux in an old Dell 486, with three AT-1500BT NICs and an old Adaptec SCSI card with two drives attached. I'm able to get the drives recognized by giving the command linux aha152x=0x340,11,7 at the boot: prompt. The install goes along, but when I get to the step to install/configure the modules so that I can complete everything by FTP, the card is not being recognized. I get the message Installing module lance. If the device isn't there or isn't configured correctly, this could cause your system to pause for up to a minute. The three AT-1500BT cards are configured as follows: Adapter 1: I/O-0x300,IRQ-5,DMA-5 Adapter 2: I/O-0x320,IRQ-4,DMA-6 Adapter 3: I/O-0x360,IRQ-3,DMA-7 When I select lance as my internet driver it says no parameter information available so I'm guessing based on various things from the bootprompt howto I am guessing that the options on the line should be 5,0x300,0,0,eth0 reflecting IRQ-5, I/O address, probing for DMA and use the twisted pair connection instead of the coax, and use the card for eth0. I also tried 5,0x300,eth0 in case the installed didn't need the rest. I see myself as having three options: 1. Use a newer distribution. Since I'm using an old Hamm distribution CD - I could get the new Slink. I don't think it would make a difference with this problem. I also could burn a CD to install Potato. Though if I could get this card working I could update fairly easily. 2. Take out all the cards but one, to make sure that I've got the right card plugged into my network. But still the card, should have been found even if one of the other cards was plugged into the network. 3. Install from the Hamm CD - configure Networking and upgrade from there. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Saratoga Springs Public Library phone (518) 584-7860 x 211 49 Henry St fax (518) 584-7866 Saratoga Springs, NY 12866

A problem with cd-rom drive
Hi all, Well, I'm new to debian and this list, but have a problem already:-). Just flame me (in a friendly way, please) if this is not the right venue for this kind of problem. Anyway, the story goes like this. I'm setting up Slink in my machine, and have had some problems, most of them connected to me not having RTFM, so I'm not gonna complain any:-) I got the installation going up to the point that I had installed the base system and had rebooted the machine and up comes dselect. That's where the real problems started. I put in the 2nd cd (as explained in the install guide) and dselect seemed to find the packages, but then complained about some missing perl-script and suggested I'd put cd nr. 1 in the drive. Put whatever I tried I couldn't get through this level without an error message and couldn't install anything. I finally decided to reboot to windows and go through the manuals to see if I'd find any clues. But then sh*t really hits the fan. The cdrom-drive seems to be unaccessible. This seems to be a problem in the bios, because I can't even boot with the cdrom-drive, and linux can't even find it. Does anyone have any clue about what mey have happened and what I can do to solve it? Yes, the drive IS hooked up and I can still play audio-cd's with it, so it doesn't seem to have damaged any. Hope someone can help. Gudmundur Tech. details: Pentium PC, MMX, 32. mb, two harddisks, each about 2.5 Gb. __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com

User access to write vfat partition?
Hey gang, I want to temporarily allocate some disk space I have spare on my /dev/hda1 partition (vfat) and link it to a symbolic link in a users directory so he can upload files. The setup works fine if I create links for all the files manually, but if the directory is empty and he logs in and tries to upload he gets permission denied, because apparently my /cdrive mount point and the /dev/hda1 itself is set to user root group root. These cannot (as far as I have been able to figure out so far anyway) be modified with the normal chown/chgrp commands, so I am at a loss as to how to give a regular user write permission via ftp to this device.

Any suggestions would be most appreiciated, Well, vfat has absolutely NO idea about permissions and only limited access modifiers, so there's no way, in the filesystem, to allow a specific user to access a file on a vfat partition without allowing them to access the entire partition. Also, vfat won't allow you to place a symbolic link on it. You can link from your ext2 partition to a directory on a vfat drive, but not vice versa. You're probably getting the idea...vfat is dumb. It was intended for a single-user system and has many limitations associated with it because of that intention. If you're willing to allow this user to have access to your entire partition you can add a group (I called mine windows) and mount the partition as group writable and add this user to the group. Assuming the group you want to use has the GID 101 then you can have an entry in /etc/fstab like: /dev/hda1 /cdrive vfat defaults,uid=0,gid=101,umask=002 0 1 which will mount the drive group writable and owned by the group associated with GID 101.

Yet somehow I doubt that because I don't think the chip is one of the 486s mentioned in the Ethernet-HowTo. I also searched dejanews without gaining any realy insight. I'm still trying to do this with the install program. When I don't place give it any parameters I get an instant response of /lib/modules/2.0.34/net/lance.o : init_module : device or resource busy if I give it any parameters it hangs. Since I don't have access to the file system and commands until after I complete an install, I won't be able to try the other suggestiongs for a while. During the install you can switch to vt2 to get a command prompt (Alt+F2). At least that is a usefull bit of info. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Saratoga Springs Public Library phone (518) 584-7860 x 211 49 Henry St fax (518) 584-7866 Saratoga Springs, NY 12866

pptp + pppd + radius
Greetings, I'm trying to set up a linux replacement for our windows vpn server, using a combination of pptp, pppd (with ms-chap-v2 patch) and radius .. I was able to use the pptp and radius apps from the Debian dist (potato), but had to compile pppd w/ ms-chap-v2 separately... (I got pptp working from a windows box, using ms-chap-v2, via the chap-secrets file, and separately got the radius client to work fine with our radius server) Now I'm wondering if there's a way of connecting pppd - radius via chap authentication .. I've done some searching and all the methods I can find involve pap authentication using radius only (via modem dial-up), none using chap (via pptp).. Anyone know if there is a way to run a vpn server on linux, which either uses radius to authenticate, or uses the windows sam database (via an NT server)? Thanks, Terry Katz

Re: root unknown
The general solution is to boot the system with a rescue disk or boot floppy, and either edit out the root password from /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, or to issue a new password.

Re: root unknown
You need to boot into single-user mode, and then run 'passwd'. To boot into single user mode, you need to pass the boot parameter single to the kernel. For instance, if my linux partition has the LILO label Linux, then when you would enter Linux single at the LILO boot: prompt. This will give you a root shell, and you can then run passwd root. -- JL On Wed, 15 Mar 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hiya i have a laptop i got from work which has Red Hat on it... i know this is a debian news-group but the question is not linux specific How can i reset the root password.

Re: Storm Linux (Debian in disguise)also Corel
Sorry. It wasn't fair to compare Storm and Corel as I've not used Storm. I should have changed the subject and just said Corel have done a good job in taking Debian and wrapping it up in a way that can be sold in schools and offices along with WordPerfect. The Corel installer is very good. It never had problems with the Windows partition when I tried it on a laptop. And it did a better job on that laptop than I've ever managed in a year of tweaking X. That said, it barely ran because it has only 24 MB RAM but can't blame anyone but myself for that:-( The graphical front-end to apt/dselect worked fine when I tried it. It doesn't qmatter if the move to potato breaks Corel apps. Corel is not Debian and if you want a Corel desktop then you have to wait til they are ready to do upgrades. No-one complained of Win2k beta crashes so why should Corel be held to a higher standard? If it works as advertised, that's enough for most people. The Corel lilo is a pain; I couldn't wait to get rid of it. The keyboard maps not working for us non-US users is a pain. It gives a feeling that the vendor is bloody lazy. And its the word vendor is part of the reason I fsck-ed Corel after playing about with it for an evening. I prefer the I rolled my own desktop experience of the non-corporate world. Another eason I wouldn't stick with Corel is that I don't think they get it as far as open source is concerned. Its fine that they are porting this and that, but its not DFSG compliant. Helix, AbiWord, KOffice: these are the names I want to see doing well. WP is just a version of MS Office that hasn't sold as well. Its the free speech not free beer that is most important. I hope Storm continues their good work. Patrick Kirk

MozM14 install Netscape bookmarks (newbie q)
Hi Debianites I can't quite figure out how to install Moz M14. I d'led the mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-M14-talkback.tar.gz, which is supposed to be a binary of the M14 (according to Mozilla.org), and I figured out how to untar/zip it to a dir, but what then? How do I tell X to use this instead of the old one that was installed with my Slink system? Would it perhaps be easier to point apt to unstable and just install this particular deb? The other question is regarding bookmarks in Netscape Navigator (communicator-smotif45-something-like-that). Where are they located on the system?
