Script .... ¿perl?
Hola lista!! Necesito que alguien me de alguna sugerencia. Quiero hacer un script o algo así para el curro. Esto es lo que tiene que hacer: conectarse mediante telnet a un router (Cisco C7507), ponerlo en modo 'enable' (ejecutar un comando una vez en la sesión), sacar el 'show log' (otro comando) y la salida de ese comando (digamos que sería capturar la salida standard +/-, ¿no?) guardarla en un archivo de texto. Luego, salir de la sesión telnet y una vez de vuelta en la Debian/Woody (otra vez en casa ;-) procesar ese archivo y extraer ciertos datos. Yo he pensado en Perl, porque es un lenguaje que me encanta. No tengo problema en principio con lo de procesar el archivo, pero el tema está en conectar el script al telnet y capturar lo que me devuelve 'show log' a un archivo local (osea, fuera de la sesión telnet, donde se ejecuta el script). ¿Alguien me puede dar una idea, o decirme al menos si se puede hacer o no? Sería muy interesante, sobre todo para empezar a hacer ver por aquí lo necesario que nos es utilizar Linux. Muy agradecido: Juan Carlos Muro

Re: Intranet Linux
JFreak escribía... espero que puedas ayudarme, por lo pronto mañana voy a tener que reinstalar el CorelLinux en el servidor porque mi jefe olvido el password de root y sin ese no puedo cambiar algunas cosas que necesito, si sabes de alguna manera de obtener este password te lo agradeceria. Lo de obtener la password es un poco más complicado, así que nos vamos a centrar en como poner una nueva, sin necesidad de reinstalar todo el sistema. Hay varias maneras de solucionarlo. La más sencilla es reiniciar el sistema en modo monousuario: 1.Reinicia el sistema 2.En el prompt LILO boot: teclea linux single y presiona ENTER. Esto te debe botar directo a un shell como root. Aquí cambias tu password de root con el comando passwd. Si no tienes LILO instalado, usa un diskette o CD de arranque (de GNU/Linux, claro) y monta el sistema de ficheros raiz. Edita el fichero /etc/passwd con vi y elimina la contraseña de root. Te quedará algo así como root::0:0:root:/:/bin/sh Ahora root no tiene password; al rearrancar desde el disco duro deberías ser capaz de hacer login como root y poner la password que desees utilizando passwd.

En principio hay varios pasos para comprovar que una tarjeta funciona: 1. Comprovar que esté el modulo en el kernel 2. Comprovar que funciona en modo 'loopback' 3. Comprovar que funciona normalmente 1. El modulo seguramente sera el ne2k-pci, o sea que haz un lsmod y buscalo. Si lo encuentras, perfecto, sino añade una linea en /etc/modules así: ne2k-pci Despues grava y ejecuta el comando update-modules, despues reinicia la maquina. Para comprovar que ha detectado correctamente la tarjeta ejecuta el comando 'dmesg' y busca unas lineas así: ne2k-pci.c:vpre-1.00e 5/27/99 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/l inux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html ne2k-pci.c: PCI NE2000 clone 'RealTek RTL-8029' at I/O 0x6400, IRQ 11. eth0: RealTek RTL-8029 found at 0x6400, IRQ 11, 00:00:B4:98:93:E2. Si las encuentras, perfecto. 2. Ahora el módulo tiene que estar cargado, solo falta darlo de alta con los pasos que tienes arriba, para ver si ha funcionado este paso ejecuta el comando 'ifconfig -a', te tienen que salir dos interficies 'eth0' y 'lo'. Para ver si la tarjeta funciona correctamente ejecuta el comando: hostname:~$ ping 127.0.0.1 PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=2.7 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=1.9 ms ... (CTRL+C) para parar. Si te ha salido esto perfecto, siguiente paso... 3. Para comprovar que funciona correctamente la eth0 y la red en general si la acabas de montar, haz 'ping' hacia otro ordenador que esté correctamente configurado (Te recomiendo un guindous con TCP/IP activado, así sabes que si hay problemas sera culpa del linux), haz: hostname:~$ ping direccion_ip En teoria ya te has asegurado con todas las de la ley que todo funciona correctamente... si quieres puedes ir más rápido haciendo el último paso y en caso de problemas tirando pa' tras hasta encontrar el problema... ;-) Como imagino que no tendréis un servidor de nombres ni cosas de esas necesitarás configurar el fichero hosts, donde pondrás algo como esto 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 172.16.2.1 doramas.ainili-lp.net doramas 172.16.1.2 speedy.ainili.net speedy 172.16.1.3 piolin.ainili.net piolin 172.16.1.4 coyote.ainili.net coyote 172.16.1.5 silvestre.ainili.net silvestre 172.16.1.6 correcaminos.ainili.net correcaminos 172.16.1.7 jerry.ainili.net jerry 172.16.1.8 tom.ainili.net tom con los numeros de ip y los nombres de los pc de tu jefe, el tuyo y el de tus compañeros. Con esto ya deberías poder hacer ping a las máquinas de tu red. Una vez que el ping te funcione ya tienes comunicación y empieza la configuración de las aplicaciones, www, ftp, etc. hice esto pero no funcionó me parece que el problema es la tarjeta de red, cuando arranca Debian recibo este mensaje: Unknow Interface (refiriendose a la tarjeta de red -- eth0) y cuando escribo ping recibo este error: Network is unreachable. hay algun lugar donde debian guarde los mensajes que da antes de iniciar la sesion ?? hay mas mensajes pero no me alcanzo a copiarlos... El comando es el ya comentado 'dmesg', y lo de network unreachable seguramente sea por culpa de que no tienes el modulo de la tarjeta cargado (es como un driver de guindous), mirate el primer paso que te he comentado, a ver si te funciona así... espero que puedas ayudarme, por lo pronto mañana voy a tener que reinstalar el CorelLinux en el servidor porque mi jefe olvido el password de root y sin ese no puedo cambiar algunas cosas que necesito, si sabes de alguna manera de obtener este password te lo agradeceria. No hace falta reinstalar el Linux... hay un truquillo muy bueno para arrancar sin que te pida password, pero no me acuerdo ( a ver si alguien se acuerda y lo comenta por aki... era algo así como init=/bin/vi o algo así...) lo que hago yo es arrancar desde CDROM con la Debian y cuando me sale la primera pantalla de la instalacion ctrl+F2, enter y despues monto la particion primaria de linux (mount /dev/hdaX /mnt) editando el fichero de passwords (vi /mnt/etc/shadow), borrando el password de root

Tienes que cargar el módulo correspondiente a tu tarjeta de red. Eso se hace en el fichero -creo recordar- /etc/modules. De todas manera yo te recomendaría lo siguiente: crearte un script con los comandos que necesitas para configurar la red. Sobre este script vas modificando y probando, y una vez que lo tengas claro pasas los comandos correspon- dientes a los ficheros de configuración correctos. El fichero de script debería tener: modprobe modulo que corresponda a tu tarjeta de red ifconfigs routes . ping a la máquina de pruebas (solo numero de ip, no nombre de máquina) El modulo que necesitas en modprobe depende de tu tarjeta de red. Para averiguar que tarjeta tienes puedes usar el comando dmesg, que te muestra los mensajes del arranque, donde probablemente el kernel te sacará algún mensaje informativo de la tarjeta. Claro que lo ideal sería que supieras marca, modelo e irq exactos. Si quieres ver los mensajes de error y demás puedes mirar el fichero /var/log/syslog, aquí lo tienes todo. Incluso puedes hacer lo siguiente: En una consola pruebas y modificas el script y en otra usas el comando tail -f /var/log/syslog, con lo que vas viendo los mensajes de error de tu script. Para saltar de una consola a otra con Alt-F1, Alt-F2,Alt-F3, etc. Para saber cual es el módulo no se me ocurre otra cosa que mirarte el Ethernet howto. Ten en cuenta que para que este script tenga exito el ping tiene que enviar paquetes y no recibir respuesta. Esto significaría que tu máquina ya está configurada y que la otra no responde -hasta que la configures también-. En cuanto a la reinstalación probablemente no sea necesaria, si tienes un diskette de rescate o el CD de COLOS sirve como disco de rescate. Si es así sólo tendrías que arrancar con uno de ellos, montar la partición donde esté el direc- torio /etc, por ejemplo con algo así mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt y modificar el fichero etc/password, en la linea del root. Creo que te aparece algo así: root:*:xx:xxx:xxx:xx Lo siguiente que hay después de los primeros dos puntos es la clave, si lo borras y lo dejas así root::xx:xxx:xxx:x el sistema no pedira clave para root al arrancar.

Dos preguntas
Hola a tod*s, a ver, dos preguntas, creo que facilitas ... 1) ¿Qué fichero de configuración hay que tocar para darle permisos a mi usuario normal de trabajo para que pueda parar la máquina desde Gnome con el gshutdown? Se me ha ocurrido que podría montarlo con el sudo, pero supongo que debe haber un fichero de configuración general del gshutdown (yo no lo he encontrado en ningun sitio, ni leyendo la escasa documentación del gshutdown) donde se pueda especificar la lista de trusted users. 2) Para alguien que trabaje con el kernel-package y tenga un portátil ... ¿Cómo demonios conseguir que al ejecutar make-kpkg config_modules conteste de forma interactiva a las preguntas de configuración para compilar los módulos PCMCIA? Es que quiero cambiar las opciones por defecto. Por otra parte, al instalar el paquete .deb generado con make-kpkg modules_image y tras haber seleccionado (cambié el fichero donde guarda las respuestas por defecto para poder modificar la configuración) la opción build trusted versions para las herramientas (cardctl y cardmgr) que manejan el PCMCIA para que así puedan ser usadas por usuarios normales (no necesariamente root), NO me las compila ni me las instala (no están en el paquete .deb). ¿Acaso es que he de usar la vieja fórmula tradicional para compilar las PCMCIA y olvidarme del kernel-package? Muchas gracias a tod*s por vuestra ayuda y por vuestro valioso tiempo.

Re: Ayuda con PCMCIA SCSI
Juan C. Amengual wrote: Hola a tod*s, estoy teniendo problemas con una tarjeta UltraSCSI Adaptec SlimSCSI 1480A. Os cuento. He compilado los fuentes del PCMCIA para el kernel 2.2.15 de la Potato, por supuesto activando soporte SCSI en el núcleo, pero sin elegir ningún low-level driver. En el Configure del PCMCIA, he seleccionado la opción Cardbus, antes de compilar. La compilación la he hecho, como siempre, utilizando el kernel-package.

Why not use rlogin if it is no more risky than the alternatives? no he meant telnet is just as risky, he phrased it badly though. ssh is fine just so you configure it properly and don't permit lame passwords. The point is that I need to offer the functionality of rlogin. When I am elsewhere and I want to do a remote login to my machine, then I need rlogin or some equivalent. If rlogin is currently insecure, why don't people make it secure? What makes it so hard? people have made rlogin, rsh, and rcp secure, the secure versions have a new name however: slogin, ssh, and scp. all can be found in the ssh package. the problem with the r-commands is primarly they transmit everything including passwords in plain text, allowing the session and all passwords to be captured. plain text sessions also allow for session hijacking. telnet is guilty of the plaintext problem as well. the worse problem with r-commands is they trust remote machines based on the fact that they open ports below 1024. they also allow passwordless authentication from hostnames or IP addresses. this is inherently insecure. (granted you could refrain from doing this) the r-commands are also all suid root and must be this way to function. the less suid binaries you have the better off you are. (ssh does not need to be suid, unless you use the rsh backword compatibility mode) overall there is nothing you can do with rlogin, rsh, and rcp that you cannot do with ssh. ssh is secure, r* is not. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/ pgpF2koHPbxBl.pgp Description: PGP signature

RE: Samba Headache
hi Jay First of all, I'd recommend subscribing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's a general mailing list for SAMBA-related issues, and the people on it r very helpful (generally :) ). Ok, when you ran sambaconfig, did you specify the INETD option or to 'run as daemon' option. In your case, if you're running the samba server on a home network I'd go for the INETD option. Basically INETD will listen for SMB session requests on port 139 and start up a smbd for the relevant authenticated user. Setting up the INETD option can involve a little bit more tinkering that the daemon option though, so I guess the second option has convenience on its side. Your problem at the moment sounds like the samba box isn't running SMB services (ie. Samba as a daemon or through INETD). What happens when you click on the linux box in Network Neighborhood? ALso, do you have the 'homes' share configured? What security mode are you using (SECURITY=USER?), and have you added users to the smbpasswd file (in /etc/samba)? tks Andrew -Original Message- From: Jay Kelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 07, 2000 1:26 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Samba Headache Hello All, Well Im still working on getting samba to work with Windows 98.

I know that postscript is a programming language that describes the appearance of a printed page developed by Adobe in 1985 etc, and Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript language, but how do I use it for printing? You are perfectly right, Ghostscript is the interpreter for PostScript. You only need this interpreter if you want to view PostScript on a device, which doesn't natively support PostScript. There are several (usually more expensive) Printers on the market, which have a built-in PostScript interpreter, so you could send a PostScript file directly to the Printer. However, if you want to print on a printer which doesn't have this interpreter built in (or if you want to preview your PostScript file on screen) you need something like Ghostscript, which will translate Postscript into the device's native language. doesn't the magicfilter package already supports gs/ps? magicfilter relies on ghostscript (and several other graphics conversion programs) to translate your PostScript files for the printer (if it doesn't have PostScript support built-in). In fact, it is more or less some kind of collection of scripts, which try to determine the file type of the things you want to print and invoke conversion programs with the correct options automagically. I mean, right now I am using magicfilter for my hp deskjet printer but when I print something the fonts look ugly...kind of like fonts from the console Might be, that you sent a plain text file to your printer? Try to print a PostScript file. and it also doesn't print in color plus pics printed also look bad when compared to those printed from a windows machine. perhaps that is my problem? Might also be, that you chose the wrong filter in magicfilterconfig. (if you haven't used magicfilterconfig, try 'man magicfilterconfig'). So, if you give more specs about your printer, the commands you used to print and the files you tried to print, maybe someone on the list could help you. Regards, Daniel

HD Troubles
Hi, I have been having a odd hd problem. I have a machine that has 2 Promise Ultra 66 cards installed plus the on board interfaces. The first card (hde - hdg) works fine. The second card (hdi - hdl) on the other hand does not. When booting the kernel finds the card, and the hard drive attached and sees the partition on it. When I go to format the partition it says that the device is not configured. fdisk also fails. The devices are there (in /dev), I created them with MAKEDEV after installing the card. This is a bit frustrating, it seem like it should work! Thanks, -Matt-
RE: Problems Installing PHP 4.0
Hey, PHP needs the apache source dir to properly compile. Your php configure line should look more like this $./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 --with-interbase --with-apxs $ make $ make install You then must tell apache to use the php4 module $ cd ../apache_1.3.12 $ ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a You neglected to mention if you are using a package of apache, or if you have the source available. So i assumed you have the source dir somewhere. Hope this helps you out. Jason Hi I'm triying to install in my Debian system PHP4 with Apache and Interbase support.

ftape woes
I compiled ftape into my kernel (actually as a module). I have an Eagle TR-3 type drive on my floppy controller which is the on-board unit (can handle 2.8 mb floppies). The ftmt status command never completes, taring a backup to the tape drive doesn't work either. What happens is that the tape moves 3 or four times and stops. After a long while it fails with 'io error' or 'write error'. The tape drive is factory jumpered, and exists with both a 3.5 (A:) and 5.25 (B) floppy disk drives. The same tape drive was working fine with the same setup (on a different computer) under windows with the windows software (so I believe the drive is ok). Has anyone else got ftape (2.2.14 kernel source) to work with a similar drive? = Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: apt-move, merge ??
But here's the deal. I have multiple debian (potato) machines on my network, and only one with the disk space for a mirror. It's a server and doesn't have X installed. However, pretty much all the other Linux boxen on the net will have X installed. [snip] apt-get wouldn't work in the first place). Is there a straightforward way to merge the debs on the client box into my partial mirror on my server? I have tried that but... first I would download X to server, by just adding extra switch, which just makes apt-get just download, not install. apt-get install -d xserver-server_type man apt-get says: -d, --download-only Download only; package files are only retrieved, not unpacked or installed. Configuration Item: and next I would move those packages to local partial mirror by apt-move. Propably these are good candinates. apt-move move move Moves a collection of packages into the local mir- ror tree. Uses existing master files (see get) to repair any mangling done to the package names. Any packages that aren't listed in the master files will be left in the file cache directory. apt-move packages packages Builds new local versions of Packages.gz and Sources.gz files. or, if you want make deletions automagically, then: apt-move local local This is an alias, equivalent to 'move delete pack- ages'. -- Jarkko Niemi Happy Debian GNU/Linux user [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=( finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] or http://www.sci.fi/~jin )=-

What to use as an MTA
Hello folks, in the exim Texinfo file it says: Exim is designed to work efficiently on systems that are permanently connected to the Internet and are handling a general mix of mail. My question is: If I have a machine that's _not_ permanently connected to the internet, ie. if I'm using dial-up, is exim still a good choice, or are there better MTAs for that purpose.

I'm on a regular dial-up here - going through a demand-dialing firewall / router - and have been using exim with no troubles. At one time I was using our ISP's SMTP server as my smarthost, but am currently doing my sending direct. Occasionally I have troubles with sending to sites that use MAPS, but I manage. So I'd say go ahead and give exim a whirl. I found it quite easy to configure, and use its built-in filtering capability to sort my email into seperate directories. Quite easy to deal with, and I found the syntax of the filter easier to understand than procmail's. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | Where do you want to go today? | As far from Redmond as possible!

Walt There are no such files, the information is in MAKEDEV, which is a script, so look into it ! Each device has a major and a minor number (just do an ls -l in /dev, these numbers are after the user group names). The only thing MAKEDEV knows is that lp3 is major 6, minor 3; the rest is on the parport driver, who registers itself as handler of major 6 devices. When a process opens lp3, the kernel sends the request to the driver who handles the #6 devices, and passes the minor number to it as an argument. Thus the parport driver will know that he was requested to open the fourth parallel port. HTH Lehel

My question is: If I have a machine that's _not_ permanently connected to the internet, ie. if I'm using dial-up, is exim still a good choice, or are there better MTAs for that purpose. I've used exim for the last year or so on a box that does dial-on-demand and it worked quite well. You'll also need to use fetchmail (or similar) to retrieve your mail from your ISP, since you can't receive it via SMTP when you're offline (and I assume you don't have a static IP address anyhow). There are three potential issues that I encountered: 1) In the default Debian install, exim wants to pass mail on immediately and will bring up the line to do so. Personally, I found this to be a desirable behaviour, but a lot of people don't like it. I'm sure there are fairly easy workarounds, though I couldn't tell you what any are. 2) Unless you've registered your own domain and it can accept mail, the configuration generated by eximconfig won't quite work out of the box. Specifically, if you tell it you're @isp.net it will assume that all @isp.net addresses are local, preventing you from sending mail to other users who have the same ISP as you. If you go through the config by hand, though, the comments in the generated file make it fairly clear how to fix this. 3) (Not a problem with exim, but rather with dialup access...) Some ISPs put submit their entire dialup pool to the RBL. If you're using one of these ISPs, you'll have to use their mail server as a smarthost.

Previously to using this setup, I ran sendmail (suse at the time) and I wasn't able to config' it myself; had to use sendmail.cf-generating tools for that, so I say Exim is easy and nice to configure. When installing Exim a script gets placed into /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/. That script sends all pending mails when PPP is up, which is neat. Also nice is the ability to get statistics on a daily basis.

Initial Load, X Issues
Greetings all, I have just installed Debian via the apt method. Im not even sure what this did but it seemed to go right into the compilation where dselect from the cdrom was near impossible for me to figure out. Anyhow, while it was compiling it kept asking me if I wanted this WM or that, I was waiting for enlightenment to show up so I kept saying NO (apparently E doesnt come with 2.1). So now everything is installed, im on the net and in a console. A few questions: 1) how should I go about getting X working? I understand how to use xf86config, but it doesnt seem to support my newer TNT2. I have the Xfree86 4.0 DEB package and I definately want to install that. Where do I put it to have dselect recognize it. Or should I compilie X4.0 from source. 2) How do I get my window manager working when/if I get X running correctly? Is it just a simple matter of editing .xinitrc in homedir? 3) I want enlightenment WM, I used it b4 in mandrake, but could never compile it from CVS because of the way RPMs are strewn about the system in mandrake. Ive been told that getting E through CVS in Debian was a snap. Any tips on this? 4) Lastly, I want to upgrade the kernel. Should I do that first before anything else? I am familiar with this process. Thanks for your help guys, Im coming to Debian because it was highly recommended to me and well maintained. I dislike the way Mandrake sets files and packages about the system in disorganization. Please help me convert to Debian. Appreciations, Ethan

Indeed the mirrors are not working because the Brazilian
mirror had a disk crash (the mirror is one of the computers
at the Physics Institute of USP and they've been having
problems with their power plant and now that it is solved,
with bureaucracy).
And it appears that it won't be usable any time soon. :-(
What's the best option for us, in case the .br.debian really doesn't
work?
I've been using the US mirrors. Since http.us.debian.org is
not just one machine (half a dozen or so), if you have
problems downloading from the site (like slow connection),
just disconnect and try again. apt will probably use another
mirror.
That said, sometimes I've had better luck with the us.debian

apt-get upgrade problems
I just did an apt-get upgrade (to frozen) for the first time in several months. Unlike most of the people who say things like that around here, everything is still (mostly) functional, but it has acquired a few unpleasant quirks... 1) I used to have SSH set up so that I could jump between the boxen on my LAN without having to reenter passwords. This no longer works. I had previously arranged it using /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv, which probably isn't the best way to do it anyhow. Although my primary interest is in not having to retype my password constantly, I would also like to find out how to do this the 'right' way. 2) When connecting with SSH, after entering my password, I get a couple of errors: shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory job-working-directory: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory 3) When I open an Eterm (within wmaker, if that makes a difference), the shell opens up in the directory for the Eterm's active theme instead of the user's home directory.

I suggest using that where you are interested in an easier method. Also, sudo requires a password just like su, but caches that access. This means that you can use sudo again within like 15 minutes (configurable) without having to type your password again. Plus sudo allows you to use your own password, as opposed to the root password.

Although my primary interest is in not having to retype my password constantly, I would also like to find out how to do this the 'right' way. I think the preferred method of accomplishing this is using the ssh-agent. I believe on Debian, if you're using a login manager, wdm, xdm, etc., the agent is started when you log in. Read the ssh-agent man page for more info. The idea is to have the agent at the root of your login session. First make sure all the machines have the line RSAAuthentication yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I believe this is the default setting. Next you'll want to make sure you've generated your keys and given a passphrase. Do this with ssh-keygen. You only have to do this once and after that only when you want to change your passphrase. After the keygen you'll have a file called ~/.ssh/identity.pub. Copy the contents of that file and add it to the file on remote machines called ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Now, when you log in you just add your passphrase to the cache that the ssh-agent maintains via the ssh-add command. You'll be able log in to remote machines, running sshd, without a password, or passphrase, prompt. It's not quite as easy as the method you used, but it's certainly more secure.

software watchdog
Hi! My home-debian-box starts to behave rather odd lately, now and then it will freeze completely. The only thing working is ICMP, I can´t even get a TCP connection open, the screen is frozen, neither mouse nor keyboard will generate any event. I´ve already tried changing all I have on spare (read RAM and graphics adapter). Since there´s not even a single syslog-entry, I don´t really know where to start debugging. Would it make sense if I installed the software watchdog into the kernel in this case, so that the machine would (eventually) reboot when it hangs? This would be great because I´ll be on a trip next week and my girl-friend needs the debian-box as gateway/ mailserver in the meantime... tia, rw

Re: software watchdog
rw wrote: Hi! My home-debian-box starts to behave rather odd lately, now and then it will freeze completely. Is there anything consistent about the behavior? How long between reboot and freeze? Are there any error messages during startup? What applications are running when the machine freezes? (my bet is netscape) What Debian version are you running (Slink, Potato)? What kernel version are you running? Have you tried telneting to the machine to see if it is a console only problem? Is the behavior in ANY way predictable? More info is necessary if anyone is to be able to help. I've had uninterpetable (for me) problems on systems in the past, I'd try booting into single user mode, and fsck all partitions (except /) to check for and repair filesystem problems. If my /usr, /var, /tmp, and /home partitions were severely hosed (usually from running a hosed kernel with a buggy HD / BIOS combo) I'd then use a rescue disk to clean up the / partition. This usually would work somewhat. For some reason, upgrading to Potato helped with my current el-cheapo box ($40 motherboard, $45 processor, and $90 hard drive) but YMMV. The lack of syslog entries is something I've never experienced, so I can't help you there. -- ptw miscelaneous endeavors ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
samba Passwords
Hello Group, Well thanks to the list I got Samba working for the most part. It seems I didnt have the smb.conf configured right. I have a shared directory that I can access fine but when I try to access the /home/user directory I am promt for a password. I then enter the password but it fails. I looked in the smbpasswd file but its empty. So I tried smbpasswd neutec but after entering the pass I receive an error that it failed to add it. So my first question is how to add new users to Samba ? And I read somewhere that if I want to share a CD-Rom I will need to add something to the fstab file. What do I need to add there ? I cant find the man page on this. And for my last question, Does anyone know where I can get some info on setting up Samba as a Domain Controller? Thanks again guys for all your help.

Re: samba Passwords
1) As root, runsmbpasswd -a newusername That will add newusername to the smbpasswd file and set the password for you. 2) CDROMs Make sure your /etc/fstab contains a line like this /dev/hdd /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 then make sure theres a section like this in /etc/samba/smb.conf ; A sample share for sharing your CD-ROM with others. [cdrom] comment = Samba server's CD-ROM writable = no locking = no path = /cdrom public = yes ; The next two parameters show how to auto-mount a CD-ROM when the ; cdrom share is accesed. For this to work /etc/fstab must contain ; an entry like this: ; /dev/scd0 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,noauto,ro,user 0 0 ; /dev/hdd/cdrom iso9660 defaults,noauto,ro,user 0 0 ; The CD-ROM gets unmounted automatically after the connection to the ; If you don't want to use auto-mounting/unmounting make sure the CD ; is mounted on /cdrom preexec = /bin/mount /cdrom postexec = /bin/umount /cdrom That will automatically mount the cd if a client machine requests it. 3) Samba as a domain controller. Firstly samba CANNOT act as a PDC for a NT network, neither can it partake in elections as a BDC to an existing NT server. What samba can do is use an existing NT server to authenticate usernames and passwords from, or it can act as a domain controller for win9x clients (that means not NT or 2000 (not sure about ME)) My suggestion is to look at either buying Using Samba by O'Reilly or look at the samba website www.samba.org At 04:39 PM 7/7/00 -0700, you wrote: ...I have a shared directory that I can access fine but when I try to access the /home/user directory I am promted for a password.
