El gobierno de Afganistán está emprendiendo una guerra contra las mujeres. La situación está tan mal que un editorial del Times comparó el trato de las mujeres de Afganistán al dado a los judíos durante el pre-holocausto en Polonia. El régimen fundamentalista de Talibán llegó al poder en 1995. Desde entonces las mujeres empezaron a usar una buruca, un vestido largo con una capucha que esconde la cabeza y que tiene una tela por donde mirar. Son apedreadas en público si no usan el traje formal, o solamente porque no tienen la malla que cubre el frente de los ojos. Una mujer murió porque un grupo de fundamentalistas la atacó por exponer un brazo accidentalmente mientras caminaba. Otra fue apedreada hasta la muerte por haber tratado de dejar el país con un hombre que no era su pariente. A las mujeres les está prohibido trabajar y hasta estar en público sin un pariente masculino. Las profesionales como profesoras, traductoras, doctoras, abogadas, artistas y escritoras fueron despedidas de sus trabajos y consignadas a sus casas. La casa donde vive una mujer tiene que tener las ventanas pintadas para impedir que ellas sean vistas por extraños. Tienen que usar zapatos silenciosos para nunca ser oídas. Las mujeres viven con miedo de perder la vida por causa de un leve desliz en el comportamiento que les han impuesto. Como ellas no pueden trabajar, sus parientes masculinos o maridos, o están pasando hambre hasta la muerte o están mendigando en la calle. No hay ninguna instalación médica disponible para las mujeres, y muchos profesionales del área de salud, en protesta, dejaron el país llevandose medicamentos y otras cosas necesarias para tratar el creciente índice de depresión entre las mujeres. No hay manera de saber con certeza la tasa de suicidio en esta sociedad fundamentalista islámica , pero se calcula que ha aumentado significativamente entre las mujeres , ya que no pueden hallar un tratamiento para la depresión severa, y no soportan el cambio radical en sus vidas. En uno de los raros hospitales para mujeres, un reportero encontró cuerpos casi inanimados, inmóviles encima de las camas, envueltos en burucas, sin voluntad para hablar, comer, hacer cualquier cosa. Otras han enloquecido y son encontradas en las esquinas, balanceando sus cuerpos o llorando, la mayoría con miedo. Un médico está considerando, cuando se termine el poco medicamento que queda, dejar a estas mujeres frente a la residencia del Presidente como una forma de protesta. Ha llegado el punto en que el término violación de los derechos humanos es desconocido. Los hombres tienen poder de vida o muerte sobre las mujeres, especialmente sus esposas. Pero cualquier hombre tiene el mismo derecho de apedrear o golpear a una mujer, aun cuando sea desconocida, si ella simplemente expone una pulgada de su cuerpo, aunque sea accidentalmente. Dicen que occidente no debería juzgar el régimen Fundamentalista de Afganistán porque es una cuestión cultural, pero ni siquiera eso es verdad. Las mujeres disfrutaban de una libertad relativa para trabajar, generalmente vestían como quisieran, caminaban y aparecían solas en público hasta 1996. La rapidez de esa transición es el principal motivo de la depresión y el suicidio: las mujeres que eran pedagogas o doctoras o simplemente disfrutaban de la libertad básica para cualquier ser humano ahora son severamente reprimidas y maltratadas en nombre del ala fundamentalista del Islam. Si la OTAN usó su fuerza militar en Kosovo en nombre de los derechos humanos, por causa de la segregación racial contra los Albaneses, entonces Occidente también puede expresarse contra la opresión, asesinato e injusticia cometida contra las mujeres por el Talibán. DECLARACIÓN: FIRMANDO ESTA COMUNICACIÓN, CONCORDAMOS EN QUE EL TRATO DADO A LAS MUJERES POR AFGANISTÁN ES COMPLETAMENTE INACEPTABLE Y QUE ES PRECISO QUE LOS ORGANISMOS COMO LAS NACIONES UNIDAS TOMEN UNA ACTITUD. LA PROPIEDAD DE LAS MUJERES NO ES UN ASUNTO PEQUEÑO. EN CUALQUIER LUGAR ES INACEPTABLE QUE LAS MUJERES EN 1999 SEAN TRATADAS COMO SERES SUB-HUMANOS Y COMO PROPIEDAD. LA IGUALDAD, LA LIBERTAD Y LA DECENCIA HUMANA SON DERECHOS, VIVA LA

Me instalan el ADSL en el curro el dia 1 de Marzo, contratado con Mundivia. Uso como servidor de intranet/internet una Debian ;-) Mundivia han suspendido las altas ADSL porque hay muchos clientes que estan teniendo muchos problemas, en cambio reconocen que hay zonas en las que el ADSL va bien y sin problemas... Ademas planean tener una reunión con Telefonica en Madrid pronto para pedirles que solucionen los problemas, que asi no se puede trabajar...

Esta semana (28/3/2000) ha ido bien el lunes y el martes (he llegado a 18-24 kBytes/segundo de los del Netscape :-) Posible explicación: - Telefonica deberia haber empezado la instalación de ADSL en Noviembre y parece que han empezado en Enero. - Ademas la demanda es brutal, llamando al telefono de info del ADSL te dicen que los plazos de instalación son larguisimos porque no dan abasto. - Y claro quieren llegar a cubrir toda España a finales de este año... - ¿Os acordais del principio de infovia plus? - Mi jefe me ha dicho que les damos de plazo dos meses...

De hecho cada 30 minutos se hace una negociacion DHCP PC/ADSL a la que previamente el router ADSL ha antecedido con una llamada broadcast a SU servidor DHCP (en la central telefonica supongo).

Rutar entre dispositivos con ip´s reales
Tengo tres interfaces de red actualmente, dos eth y una rdsi, eth0 tiene ip real via dhcp, ippp0 también, eth1 es mi red local. La maquina hace masquerade y todo funciona correctamente, configuro los dispositivos via isdnutils para la rdsi y para las eth con /etc/network/interfaces via ifup e ifdown (con pump para el dhcp de eth0), la cosa está en que de los dos dispositivos con ip real (eth0 e ippp0) quisiera que eth0 fuera mi default gw y conseguir enrutar de alguna manera viable todos los paquetes de mi red local hacia el puerto 6667 (ircd) por ippp0, con ipchains lo he intentado y no he podido... lo mas que consigo es que si las conexiones son para maquinas de ctv (proveedor con quien tengo la cuenta para la rdsi) la metrica hace que ellos solos se escapen por ippp0, pero si no nada... quisiera saber si hay alguna manera de hacer ese tipo de enrutado entre interfaces. Todo esto en una debian potato :) Gracias por anticipado :)

El sistema que monte debera tener acceso POP3, para unos 120 usuarios (aunque crecera hasta unos 300), deberia ser facilmente configurable, tener todos los programas en paquetes Debian, que se puedan incluir utilidades del tipo de listas de correo, redireccionamiento del correo, incluir respuestas en caso de ausencia, deshabilitar el acceso a las cuentas pero que se puedan cambiar el password. ¿Podrias sugerirme una buena combinacion de programas?

Re: Imagenes de Potato
Vamos a ver: Yo usé el make-pseudoimage de windows para bajarme los ficheros por http: primero te bajas un fichero que tiene la lista de los ficheros del primer CD. A este fichero lo llamé binaspar.lis. Luego ejecuté el siguiente make-pseudo-image.bat @echo off set CYGWIN=binmode tty bash make-pseudo-image binaspar.lis http://193.63.255.4/packages/Linux/debian %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 #bash make-pseudo-image %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 Lo retoqué para que el proxy que tengo me hiciera ip-masquerading directamente. Por eso le puse la dirección IP real pero tú podrás poner en lugar de eso sunsite.org.uk. Con esto el programa va bajando todos los ficheros de la lista. Mantiene unos ficheros donde tiene información de lo que ha bajado y lo que le queda. Cuando esto termine, debes correr el rsync como ya comenté en otro mail. Yo tengo ya la imagen iso bien grabada y si la monto en linux con la opción -o loop lo veo todo perfecto. Pero tengo un problema con la grabadora. Es Plextor y no se hacerla funcionar con Linux (cdrecord no la entiende). Y el programa NERO que tengo en Windows me crea una copia con nombres cortos (me trunca los nombres largos) en lugar de largos. Si no consigo grabarla con nombres largos supongo que no se puede usar para instalar porque la estructura de instalación de debian creo que busca los nombres largos. Ahora estoy probando con cdrwin y con el EasyCdcreator. Si me funciona pues ya lo comentaré en la lista. Saludos.

Justo ayer probé de hacer un fdisk /mbr desde DOS para recuperar el mbr original. Luego de eso la máquina entraba a Windows directamente sin pasar por el LILO. Como pensaba reinstalar el slackware, no me preocupé. Corrí la instalación y cuando llegué a la sección del LILO entré en modo 'expert'. Agregué una opción para Windows y otra para Linux y le dije que lo instalara en el superblock de la partición de Linux. Reinicié la máquina y apareció el LILO nuevamente, dandome la opción Windows y Linux! En tu caso deberías sustituir el fdisk /mbr que yo hice por la instalación del programilla que se instala en el MBR. No sé que distribución de Linux vas a instalar pero supongo que todas te dan la opción de instalar LILO en el superblock de la partición Linux.

I've heard this before, too, especially when gcc was so far behind the times. But when egcs was merged back I just assumed things were better. And I imagine there's not much in the way of optimizations for the Pentium III yet, either. Does anyone know how we can find out whether 586/686 compiling is worthwhile? Wouldn't it be at least worthwhile to recompile the kernel, the Xserver one uses, window manager (e.g., fvwm2, englightenment, etc.), and the desktop one uses (gnome/kde, etc.)?

RE: Lying to dpkg?
Lying to dpkg eventually causes huge problems and usually a re-install. If you can not install the software from debs, please mail the maintainer or submit bugs. It is very important to debian that all of our software work out of the box for our users. You should never have to see source if you do not want to. So, you have to compile something. Consider using apt-get source and compiling the package yourself, seeing how it works. You may even discover ways to make our system better. OpenSSL is available on the non-us mirrors. add: deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ unstable non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list. Two additional pieces of information: mailing package name@packages.debian.org always goes to the maintainer of the package. So mailing say [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets you to the person who can help. install reportbug and use it for bug reporting. It lists open bugs, will give you the bug's info, allow you to submit bugs or add info to existing ones, and more. I hope this helps.

Memory (RAM) problems?
Hi, I'm a litlle worry about the memory (RAM) used by my machine. I'm using slink ( recompiled kernel 2.0.36) and recently I realized that I have my memory full very frecuently, even when running only a few programs. Actually, the buffer and the cache use a lot of memory. I have 256 Mb, and a typical (not the most terrible) output of 'cat /proc/meminfo ' looks like : total:used:free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 263127040 221241344 41885696 47808512 95961088 79933440 Swap: 133885952 286720 133599232 MemTotal:256960 kB MemFree: 40904 kB MemShared:46688 kB Buffers: 93712 kB Cached: 78060 kB SwapTotal: 130748 kB SwapFree:130468 kB Sometimes, there are a release of memory (e.g. when I run a heavy process) , but the cache an buffer slowly increase their memory usage.

RE: Lying to dpkg?
Lying to dpkg eventually causes huge problems and usually a re-install. Uh-oh! :) Well, I'll probably do a clean install when potato is released as stable anyway. I still don't have an awful lot riding on the current installation. Maybe I'll even try installing apache/php/mysql/mod_ssl/openssl from debs again. If you can not install the software from debs, please mail the maintainer or submit bugs. In my case (never have looked at a unix-like system before) it's more likely that I did something wrong than that there's a problem in the packages. I probably failed to install some package or other that would have acted as a bridge between the various main packages... or something like that. That's my guess anyhow. The problem's more likely with my ignorance than with the debs. At any rate, I don't know how to tell the difference yet. ;) So, you have to compile something. Consider using apt-get source and compiling the package yourself, seeing how it works. I've tried that on a few things now that I (blush) know how it works. That's gone really well, and beats the heck out of trying to figure out how to lie to the system after the fact. Thank you for the help. I will definitely do my best to report bugs as soon as I feel confident enough that what I'm reporting is actually a bug in the software and not in the wetware. Phoenix

Re: Apache virtual hosting
Not really like that. Don't forget there are hosts out there which have only one ip-address, so they must use name-based virtual hosting. For this they must configure their only ip-address as NameVirtualHost. After this the documentroot in srm.conf is ignored. All ip-names which the server have, should appear in a VirtualHost section in a ServerName or ServerAlias directive. If it does not, then the default virtualhost is served for it, which is the first VirtualHost section parsed. Of course if you use mass virtual hosting (vhost module), then the operation is as it is described in its documentation.

apt-get stone
Hi, I'm looking for a port forwarder for Debian Sparc. I have tried, but I couldn't get stone. I could, but it was for Intel. There is ipportfw, but I think my SunClassic would be too slow for recompiling the kernel (and it's already running Squid). Makes me wonder, why on earth there are some packages that are not available on Debian Sparc. BTW, I'm connecting to the Internet via a dial-up line, and stone wouldn't run if the connection is not up yet. If I use ipportfw, can ipportfw be used for forwarding to outside hosts? As I understand it, ipportfw is mainly to be used for forwarding ports from outside to inside ones (via a gateway which is masqueraded). Thanks in advance, Oki
Re: Memory (RAM) problems?
This is normal, and done by kernel to keep memory full all the time, so access time to binaries is less (so your machine works faster). This can only be a problem on systems with low RAM (I remember having 48M, and having it all full.going into swap even when I was just running X alone). If you don't like it, there are 2 files you can tweak: /proc/sys/vm/pagecache and /proc/sys/vm/buffermem Read about them in kernel docs, but with 256M you have nothing to worry about. Just turn off the swap, and never touch it again. Andrew - Andrei S.

If the firewall is a Linux box using the kernel's masquerading features, the firewall administrator needs to load the `ip_masq_ftp' module; other firewalls will require other measures.

The ViewSonics are well supported under Linux, console works out of the box, and X config is generally pretty straightforward. There are some artifacts -- in particular, console mode text gets seriously chunky at higher resolutions -- say 50x80 or 60x80. There's also the stray dropped pixel -- essentially a screen bit that's always either on or off. Most panels have one or two. Effective resolution under X is slightly less than an equivalent (17) CRT -- 1024x768 was about the most I could sqeeze out (vs. 1280x1024).

Fwd: Bug#61223 acknowledged by developer (Unresolved symbols after setting up kernel-image)
I have a few questions, partly for my own edification and partly because
I'm concerned something is not quite right. Let me start with the second.
If I follow what's going on, the kernel has been updated. In that case,
the update does not succeed because it doesn't update the kernel the system
is actually running. That seems like a problem.
Second, I chose to create a boot diskette. That diskette failed to boot
the system when I tried it.
Third, the process is confusing. I thought from the error messages that
the standard kernel was no good--that is, that the process of making a new
standard kernel had failed, and that I therefore should not try booting
into it.
That's it on the bug/desirable enhancement vein. My question is simple:
could you tell me a little more about what these errors mean, and what is
going on? I have built some kernels in the past, so I'm somewhat familiar
with the process. Here's my expectation/understanding:
* kernel modules need to be built for the specific kernel they'll be run
with, or they won't work properly
* they won't work because they have the wrong memory addresses
* The error messages I got are NOT the product of wrong memory addresses,
but missing symbolic information
* Compact and regular kernels are the same, except the former has fewer drivers
* So I should only get a missing symbols error if a module references a
symbol not in the kernel
In fact, I get errors even for a module (vfat) which I know is present in
the compact kernel.
So something about my understanding is wrong.
I think the error I reported below resulted in an error return from package
configuration (I'd have to check and I'm not on the system). They did not
prevent apt-get from proceeding on its way.
Thanks.
P.S. I copied debian-user because I think others might benefit from an
answer to these questions, or might even be able to answer them.

This may be related to the fact that the system is running 2.2.14-compact,

This is as expected since you're not running the same kernel. Once you
boot this kernel, it'll be correct. It isn't a bug unless this is preventing
the configuration of the package.

You are getting errors because it's trying to match the modules' symbols with
the kernel that you're currently running. I don't know why it tries to do
depmod at install time, perhaps Manoj can answer that one.
* Compact and regular kernels are the same, except the former has fewer

They are configured differently, thus the checksums which are part of the

Re: neomagic
Hi, concerning a NeoMagic cards, I would like to share my own observations. I own a Siemens Scenic Mobile 510 AGP notebook, that is equipped with video+sound combo called NeoMagic 256 AV. This card is not very well supported by the Linux as of time because the manufacturer does not release any specs. Anyway, I found out, that the video card runs nicely under SVGALib as a VESA card. Even the tweaked modes like 400x300 work! I do not have any experiences with X as I do not use it. Now to the sound: there is a driver for a NeoMagic sound card in a Linux Kernel, but it works only for the 'genuine' cards with ACL97 chipset. But my card was not compatible with this driver. The commercial OSS drivers seem to support the card in a right manner, but I haven't tried. There are also some compatibility modes (8bit SB, MSS) which didn't work too. The only message I've got using any of these was: Interrupt test on IRQ5 failed - Probable IRQ conflict. Accidentaly, loading one module after another the card started working! I tried that several more times until it turned out, that the right sequence is to load a soundblaster module, that will fail. And then immediatelly a module for OPL3-SAx, that will initialize correctly! This way you get 44kHz, 16bit sound instead of a crappy 8bit. I do not understand why it is so, but it works. Below is my sound.sh. The values may not be the same for your machine, try to look into the Windows driver settings or in a Bios. -snip- #!/bin/bash # # sound This shell script starts the NeoMagic 256AV # sound modules. # # I do not know why, but the soundcard works only with # this sequence: # echo Initializing sound modules. /sbin/modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 /sbin/rmmod -r sb /sbin/modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 -snip- I hope this will help, Radim

Re: printer port
Hello there, On Tue, 28 Mar 2000, John Anderson wrote: Did you configure the parallel printer port module during the installation of Debian? If not that may explain the problem. I'm not very experienced with Linux, but I would say that the kernal would have to be redone or reinstalling Debian if it's easy enough. If this is really the problem, you do not have to reinstall the whole system, and usually you also do not have to recompile your kernel (though this is always a thing to consider after a new installation, as it usually makes your kernel smaller and therefore your system faster). Many modules get installed automatically while installing debian, the lp-module for the printer-port included. If you didn't configure this during installation, you can do it by running the modconf command, which allows you to load and configure modules after your installation is completed. Regards, Daniel

Woody: missing parse-xf86config? /etc/init.d.xdm wants it!
Hi Something blew away a program called parse-xf86config this weekend. I suspect it was when I did my apt-get upgrade. This is a problem because /etc/init.d/xdm won't run properly without it. Any clues as to how I can get it back? - Brian

It seems that parse-xf86config has been removed from xserver-common (and removed altogether). My kdm init script was complaining. I just changed the kde.config(?) file to not check for or parse an XF86Config file. Probably not the best solution, but it works. Maybe Brandon will respond and tell us what the future is for this. dyer

Make bzlilo -error
Hi there Trying to roll my own kernel (first time!). What I did is basically: Install ncurses and bin86 packages. Download source of 2.2.14 from kernel.org. make menuconfig enable SMP, FATmsdos filesystems and sound, disable scsi. The rest is left to the defaults. make dep (took quite a while) make clean make bzimage (took several hours on my 486/100) All of these scrolled bunches of text on the screen, but as far as I could tell, there were no errors. Now, the last step should be make bzlilo, but I get this error: make: no rule to make target 'bzlilo'. Stop. Am I commiting some stupid newbie mistake here? AFAIK, I've followed the Kernel-Howto at linuxdoc.org, to the letter, but maybe not? BTW, my system is a standard slink, 486/100/50Mb. I'm running Slink only, / is on /dev/hda, which is a WDC IDE disk. My lilo.conf looks exactly like the standard one in the Howto...

RE: s...l...o...w... ppp xfers
I'm looking for some troubleshooting help. Slink is working like a champ in all aspects but ppp connection speed. Actually, I connect at high speeds, but my sustained throughput runs from only 200-400 bps! When first downloading, I get a burst of speed, but in seconds all activity seems to stop then another short transfer burst... then another pause... etc. (I am using an external modem that works fine in windoze98). Am I looking at a buffer overflow or handshake problem? What should I do to help diagnose this? Thanks! Me, again... this is still unsolved. I've tried the two solutions offered: 1. echo 0 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps 2. try turning off all compression by ppp Neither one helped (though by turning off compression my throughput MAY have gone up to 500-600 bps.)
