Solo decir que se puede configurar DHCP para ligar una IP con una dirección MAC, así cada vez que conectes el portatil que tendrá la misma mac tambien se le asignará la misma ip se puee configurar que pasados x dias no haya esta ligadura (por si viene un amigo no guardar su mac con su ip siempre), etc... dicho está carles pina i estany

iso-8859-1 o iso8859-1
Me rindo. Resulta que en glibc (2.2, seguro que antes también pero no se me ocurrió mirarlo) es_ES apunta directamente a es_ES.ISO-8859-1 (el formato es location_LANGUAGE.characterSet), o es_ES.ISO-8859-15 o es_ES.UTF-8 si te quieres complicar la vida (con o exclusivo, parece). Locale-gen toma los datos de /usr/share/i18n/ y escribe en /usr/lib/locale/. Pero resulta también que el paquete xlib (el de 4.01) trae sus propios ficheros de localización, que instala en /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale. Pero ahora los characterSets se llaman iso8859-1, iso8859-2, iso8859-3..., con un solo guión. En /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias es_ES apunta a es_ES.ISO8859-1. Entonces definir LANG y LC_ALL como es_ES.ISO-8859-1 da errores en X (basta leer los mensajes al arrancar netscape) y es_ES.ISO8859-1 no es un locale que entienda glibc. ¿Qué hago? El comando 'locale' no ayuda nada porque se limita a repetir lo que hayas definido en el entorno. He probado a añadir un alias en /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias pero no ha funcionado. ¿Hay que definir es_ES por ahora y esperar a que la cosa madure? Lo que pasa es que es_ES es ambiguo (latin1, utf-8...) y probablemente glibc y xlib entiendan cosas distintas. ¿Alguien me saca del pozo de la ignorancia? -- jr [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP 2.6.3ia GnuPG keys available -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GP/ED d? s: a@ C++ UL+++ P+++ L+++ E W+ N o-- K w-- !O M- !V PS+ PE- Y+ PGP++ t-- 5?

Servidor de nombres. Problemas.
Observo problemas con mi servidor de nombres. Actualmente tengo un dominio alojado, he realizado los cambios de configuración adecuados para alojar otros dominios. En su día íbamos a alojar el dominio (llamémosle) dominio1.org. Pero posteriormente se decidió cambiar el nombre (llamémosle) dominio2.org. El caso es que hice todo lo pertinente para registrar el dominio1.org en su día. Añadí la zona en el /etc/named.conf, creé el archivo db.dominio1 y aquí puse un registro ns hacia nuestro dns secundario. Todo fué como esperaba. Justo antes de registrar el dominio1.org me dicen que no vamos a alojar el dominio1.org sino el dominio2.org. Bueno pues hago los cambios necesarios en el sistema, exactamente lo mismo que hice con dominio1.org. Y nada que no veo por ningún lado que nuestro dns secundario (es uno de pago) transfiera la zona concerniente a dominio2.org, desde el master, que somos nosotros, hacia el secundario, que son ellos. Debido a ello probé a dar de alta nuevamente dominio1.org y veo con sorpresa que nuestro secundario sí que dá de alta a esta zona. Pero no hay manera que dé de alta al dominio2.org. Bien, en principio pensé que era culpa de algún error de escritura en el db.dominio2. Después de haberlo revisado unas cuantas veces, no encuentro ningún fallo. Por tanto lo que hice fué aumentar los seriales en una unidad tanto de dominio1.org como de dominio2.org, mando una señal HUP al proceso del named y la salida es la siguiente: Nov 27 01:34:55 p250 named[18700]: reloading nameserver Nov 27 01:34:56 p250 named[18700]: master zone dominio1.org (IN) loaded (serial 282023) Nov 27 01:34:56 p250 named[18700]: master zone dominio2.org (IN) loaded (serial 282023) Nov 27 01:34:56 p250 named[18700]: Forwarding source address is [0.0.0.0].1914 Nov 27 01:34:56 p250 named[18700]: Ready to answer queries.

Ya llevo toda esta puñetera semana intentando solucionar el problema y nada de nada. Si alguien pudiera echarme una mano le quedaría muy agradecido. Muchas Gracias por adelantado.

Installing new SCSI driver in Dell Poweredge - a challenge?
hi all Thanks for the helpful comments re: my LILO problem. I've temporarily abandoned adding a SCSI drive from an old sparc station, and have got the server booting properly again through LILO. Here's what I'm trying to do though, if anyone has any ideas they'd be much appreciated. The HDD is a 50pin SCSI drive from an old Sun sparc station (which was running Debian also - and has linux Sun partitions) - the old HDD does not boot. What I'd like to do is install this drive into the newer Dell server we have here at the Uni. The Dell server has an on-board SCSI Ultra-2 controller for two Seagate drives, and a separate PCI SCSI card for the DDS4 tape drive. This separate card has both an Ultra-2 channel and a separate Fast/Ultra channel for older SCSI devices. My basic plan of attack has been to install the old Sun HDD internally and hook it up through the Ultra channel on the SCSI card. Everything's terminated correctly, and at boot time the controller correctly identifies the SCSI id and type of the old Sun HDD. The Sun disk is set at id 3, the two Seagate drives are set at id's 0 and 1. The problem is that the PCI SCSI controller initialises prior to the onboard Ultra-2 controller (which controls the drive that I want the system to boot off). This means that the old Sun HDD becomes /dev/sda, while the two Seagate drives become /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc respectively. LILO is set up on the Seagate HDD at id 0, and the config file tells LILO to look for the kernel and root partition on /dev/sda1. If I boot the server with the old Sun HDD attached, I get a message along the lines of can't find boot device, if I take it out again, the Seagate drive can't boot (it gets to LI and hangs). What I'd like to do is make sure that the old Sun HDD is /dev/sdc - NOT /dev/sda - in which case the machine should boot a-ok. However, for the life of me I can't get Linux to recognise it as anything but /dev/sda. I've tried setting it's id to 0, and the normal Seagate boot drive to 1 (and changed the SCSI controller to boot from 1) - but this doesn't work either - the Sun disk is still /dev/sda. I've also told the BIOS to give the on-board controller a higher boot priority than the PCI SCSI controller - but this doesn't change Linux-world. I realise know that it's probably the fact that the PCI SCSI controller initialises before the on-board, meaning that the old Sun HDD is detected before the two Seagate drives attached to the on-board controller. I'm not sure if, and how, I can get the on-board controller to kick-in first, meaning that my main system drive (SCSI id 0), is /dev/sda??? *Any* help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Andrew - Andrew McRobert LL.B B.Sc (Comp.

(if ur CD-ROM has one).also what sound card are u using?? and which sound drivers???basically with my Opti sound card and using the MAD16 drivers I think there's an option to disable/enable CD support i.e. CD-in for the Sound card, with my driver I think it's using the cdtype argument which by default is disabledI'd recommend u go through the /usr/src/kernel2.2.17/Documentation/sound files...maybe they'd helpbut if you do have a phone jack on ur CD-ROM drive then please check to see first if sound plays through that, since it could be a drive fault.

Anyway, i've never had this problem before with any of my other linux boxen, so i'm a little dumbfounded. I think i've troubleshooted it quite a bit, but haven't found the answer, so i'm hoping that someone here will be able to help me. My only idea is that perhaps when i rolled my own kernel for this machine (using kernel-package of course :) that perhaps i may have messed up support for audio cds somehow. Well, that's my only guess anyway. I hope all this information will be of some use to y'all in solving my problem.

Re: strange dns problem on login to isp
Hi Peter, I had the same prob when using wvdial.I think u'll notice that the problem doesn't exist if you use ponanyways what needs to be done is that you need to add your primary and secondary DNS servers IP address, as supplied to you by your ISP, to your /etc/resolv.conf file.once you do that things should be fine.

Recompiling the kernel.
Hi. I'm using the kernel that comes with debian 2.2, but I need to recompile it so I can use an ATAPI CD-RW drive. I've downloaded the source, but I can't go through all of the options on the configuration, because I always miss a detail and the kernel doesn't work (tried 2 times alredy :( So I was wondering: is it possible to get a configuration file for the current kernel, to load on menuconfig, so I can modify the configuration from there? (there is a Load an Alternate Configuration File and a Save Configuration to an Alternate File at the end of menuconfig). I searched on the ftp and the cdroms and I can't find anything. Thanks.. Bye.

What I'd like to do is make sure that the old Sun HDD is /dev/sdc - NOT /dev/sda - in which case the machine should boot a-ok. However, for the life of me I can't get Linux to recognise it as anything but /dev/sda. I've tried setting it's id to 0, and the normal Seagate boot drive to 1 (and changed the SCSI controller to boot from 1) - but this doesn't work either - the Sun disk is still /dev/sda. I've also told the BIOS to give the on-board controller a higher boot priority than the PCI SCSI controller - but this doesn't change Linux-world. the linux kernel assigns the device nodes dynamically, whatever disk it notices first will get /dev/sda, its much simpler to just fix /etc/fstab and lilo.conf then try and convince the kernel otherwise. as for the LI stuff maybe you should try grub, i think its much less fragile then lilo, its also much more powerful and smarter.

Every time the system mounts a volume (disk), it increases a counter. When this counter reaches a predefined value (the maximum mount count), fsck is forced to check the disk.

When I do this, the game works but the colors are just weird - the wrong colormap is set. So I have to type: startx lxdoom -- -bpp 16 which shows perfect colors but is quite slow. Is there a way to set the right colormap when running lxdoom exclusively with 8bpp without a window manager? Thanks for your help, Christoph

Currently, no software has been installed in /usr/local or no files have been copied in that partition. A few empty directories have been created by some package installation scripts.

As a work-around I have windows as the default and use a boot floppy to bring up linux. I am running Debian 2.2.17 on a Abit KT7 with a Duron 800 processor. The keyboard is a generic US 104. Here is my lilo.conf file: # /etc/lilo.conf lba32 # boot=/dev/hda # root=/dev/hda5 # install=/boot/boot.b # map=/boot/map delay=100 vga=normal # default=dos image=/vmlinuz label=linux read-only alias=2 image=/vmlinuz.old label=linuxold read-only optional alias=3 # other=/dev/hda2 label=dos table = /dev/hda alias=1 Thanks for any help, Clay

I set out to install by download but decided that even with a fast (cable) internet connection, it was more than worth while to buy a set of official CDROMS. I used cheapbytes and had no problem. If you have a good, fast interenet connection and decide to go the download route, I would suggest aiming to first get whatever you need to get apt-get working and use that to install the rest of what you need.

potato-n-woody side by side?
Hi, My history with woody is checkered. The first time I upgraded from potato I had *no* problems apart from having to wait for everything to download and unpack, etc. I finally sank what was a decently-working woody system by opening dselect in a spirit of oh, what's THIS for and mucking everything up. Since then, all my efforts to upgrade to woody have been disastrous: I couldn't get X to boot because of a missing default 'cursor' font; I somehow couldn't backspace in X; certain packages would refuse to configure completely, and so on and so on and so on. Anyway, I'd like to: split up my main partition and install woody next to potato, so I always have a solid working version. I believe that with 30G I should have enough room... I was wondering whether anyone's used GNU parted can report on its reliability ... A stupid idea? I've gotten the reinstallation of potato (following a woody tangle) down to a matter of flying fingers, but it sure still feels like a lot of wasted time, especially when I have work pending. But I want some of the stuff in unstable ... and every time I try to set it up, I learn something. Thanks in advance for feedback or psychoanalysis.

Re: XFree86 + NV_GLX
Okay, if you've read any of my older postings, you'll realise that installing the GLX drivers is a snap (if you know what your doing). First, go to NVidia's web and download the GLX and NVidia Drivers. From the main screen, click on products, then drivers, then linux. That should get you to them. After you've downloaded them, put them both into your /usr/src directory. Then tar -xzvf NV(driver name) and then tar -xzvf NV(GLX). Go into the newly made NV(driver name) directory and type make. cd .. and then go into the GLX directory. Type make again. Okay, here's where things got a little bit tricky for me. First, type dexter and setup your config (if the nvidia driver isn't listed, just use the nv driver for now.) MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT WHAT DEXTER WRITES THE CONFIG SCRIPT TO!!! I spent who knows how long debugging my box's X config file (/etc/X11/XF86Config) only to find out later that dexter had changed it to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. I set it everything right. I was just using the wrong config file. Next, check out your /etc/modules.conf file. Make sure it says something in there about alias char-major-195 NVdriver or something like that. If it isn't there then go into the directory /lib/modules/your-kernel-version/video (or do a locate NVdriver to tell you where it is other than in the /usr/src/NVdriver directory.) After you get there mv NVdriver NVdriver.o. Then do a modconf. Go into video and select the NVdriver module. It should install just fine. After doing that (*gasp* *gasp* *breathe* . . . quick rest ... ok, I'm back) then edit whichever config file dexter wrote to. If you use vi, open in up and type /. Then type nv and press return. It should find you where in the script it sets which driver to use. (The nv should be in parentheses.) Replace nv with nvdriver. Now, if your not already in X, do a startx. If you are in X, reset it (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.) Hopefully it should run just fine. If it doesn't ... just tell me, I should be able to help. Play Quake. Have fun? Does it run slow? If it does, you still have some mesa drivers lying around. Do the following commands : rm /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a rm /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a rm /usr/lib/libGL.so rm /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so* rm /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLcore.so* Then, go back into /usr/src/NV(GLX) and type make.

How would you distinguish between the two? Would you have a directory
structure like:
.../webstuff/foo/joey/
.../webstuff/foo/foo/
.../webstuff/bar/bar/
If so, then you can just set the path for the 'UserDir' for each virtual
server seperately. Something like 'UserDir /whatever/path/webstuff/foo/'
in the foo virtualhost config and a similar one in the bar config will
do that. (Note that you could also set up the path itself as a 'symlink
forest' pointing to the real data elsewhere, which may be easier to set
up and maintain.)
If you want to do a db file (or even a program) like:
foo.com.db:
joey - /home/joey/public_html
foo - /home/foo/public_html
bar.com.db:
bar - /home/bar/public_html
... then mod_rewrite is your answer. It would be a bit more complex to
set up (and not as 'self-documenting' as the directories are), but you
can do a bit more with it.

hola, i've been doing a lot of reading about the voodoo 5 card, and can see there's a lot of confusion and chaos out there. unfortunately, the only definitive source of info is very imprecise in their choice of words, making things even more confusing. according to linux.3dfx.com, there is a voodoo5 driver for linux. it seems to indicate that this driver is only for xfree86 4.0, since you must have DRI. 1. is that correct? the website says that hardware antialiasing and SLI are not supported yet, but will be in the future. that's ok. the website also says that glide apps like myth II or UT won't work with the voodoo5 driver. that is NOT ok. amazingly, it doesn't say if glide support is planned for the future. 2. is glide support for the voodoo5 planned for the future? the website also says that mesa 2.* games, like quake II, won't work with the voodoo5 driver. this is NOT ok either. 3. is this planned for the future? 4. it sounds like just about the only 3d game that will run on the voodoo5 is quake 3. is that right? 5. is there any official or unofficial time frame for the voodoo5 driver to be finished? 6. 3dfx says it open sourced the specs and drivers for the voodoo 1, 2 and 3. doesn't say anything about the 4 and 5. are these boards also being open sourced? 7. is there a time frame for the beta voodoo3 dri drivers to be finished? i've been reading that they're under development for almost a year now. greatly appreciate some clarification! thanks! pete

Re: Hi there
If you don't want to buy the CDs, although they are very cheap, you need to download 6 floppies, and the programme to copy the files you download onto theactual disks, and to have a working internet connection. go to ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/ choose the directory suitable for your disk size and download the rescue root and driver disks and then from the dosutils directory download rawrite2.exe. When you have used this latter to transfer all the files you downloaded to floppy disks, boot from the rescue disk and follow the instructions. And enjoy it!

Re: eth0 on kernel 2.2.17
in general, ethernet interfaces are not implemented as files in /dev/. there's no need to create one. if you want to use your ethernet card, make sure: 1. the proper module loaded correctly 2. the kernel has the correct nic built into it either case, dmesg | less should tell you whether the card was found and configured correctly. if all is good to go, try: ifconfig eth0 your ip up and from here, you'll prolly want to play with route to set up a gateway. pete On Sun, 26 Nov 2000, Joseph Anthony wrote: Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 14:17:12 -0600 (CST) From: Joseph Anthony [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: eth0 on kernel 2.2.17 Resent-Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 12:17:50 -0800 Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.org I compiled my kernel with pci ethernet support for the Intel Ether Express pro, dmesg reports the device and does tests it all verifies.. but in /dev there is no eth0 device, MAKEDEV gives an error don't know how to make device eth0 .

Re: eth0 on kernel 2.2.17
eth0 isn't suppose to be in /dev If your driver is loaded properly then all you have to do is ifconfig eth0 ipaddress netmask up to configure the device and get it running. Do man ifconfig for details. To have debian configure it automatically on boot up edit /etc/network/interfaces. I would point you to the howto for detail, however I can't remember where the right one is off hand.

Re: licq qt2.2.2-0
I believe the data is stored in '.licq' directory in your home directory. You could just back up the files there and remove the package. After you install the newer version, you could copy the data back to '.licq' directory.

Re: apache, perl, 403 forbidden, help? (SOLVED...kinda)
thanks for everyone's help so far. it works...a little bit more. =) the problem i found is that there is already a Directory directive for the public_html/ directories in access.conf. this seems to either be read last (thus overrriding changes made in other files) or conflict w/ changes made in other files. so it now is able to run the perl script. but it still doesn't work entirely. the problem i have now is i get a '500 internal server error' from my browser. checking the error.log shows Premature end of script headers: /home/herb/public_html/init/test.pl the problem is a similar script works on a working http server my university runs (so i can't get the httpd.conf file to compare). here's the simple script. hopefully you can punch a hole in it for me: #!/usr/bin/perl -w print Content-type: text/html\n\; print EOF; htmlbody hi /body/html EOF also, here's the relative modification from my access.conf that made apache want to run it: DirectoryMatch ^/home/.*/public_html AddHandler cgi-script .pl .cgi Options ExecCGI Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch AllowOverride None /DirectoryMatch thanks in advance, herb On Wed, Nov 22, 2000 at 01:47:38PM -0800, Ernest Johanson wrote: Herbert, A few things to check: 1. Remove the quotes in your Directory statement, i.e. Directory / instead of Directory /. 2. Make sure the directory you are trying to execute cgis in is under your DocmentRoot if you're using a Directory / statement. If what you want is to serve pages and execute cgis from your user directory (typically outside the DocumentRoot), then read up on the UserDir directive in the apache docs. 3. Check your access.conf file to make sure there isn't already some directives configured for the path your directory is in. The default configuration in Debian has something for public_html that you may need to edit. 4. Be sure to restart the server after making changes.

teTeX path question
Not a specifically Debian question, but I just upgraded my version of teTeX to 1.0.6, and discovered it no longer seems to follow the TEXINPUTS environment variable to find various style files, etc. I need to get this to read in a revtex.cls file that I've added in, but don't know how to get this included in the search path. I've got a feeling it has something to do with the ls-R file, but don't know exactly what I'm doing there and don't want to mess things up. Could anyone provide any hints?

Exim does unwanted DNS lookups for LAN
Hi, I've a problem with Exim; I couldn't figure out what's wrong with my configuration, so I'm asking here for help... My LAN consists of two hosts (both running Debian 2.2 with Exim): orion.sc (192.168.0.1), which is the Gateway and gryffindor.sc (192.168.0.2). orion should be the SMTP smarthost for gryffindor, it should forward mail To: *.sc (local mail) to these hosts and it should forward outgoing mail to another smarthost (on the internet). I don't have a local DNS server, the /etc/hosts on both hosts has these entries: 192.168.0.1 orion.scorion 192.168.0.2 gryffindor.sc gryffindor I can reach the hosts with their names without problem. My router section in /etc/exim.conf on gryffindor looks like this: ## # ROUTERS CONFIGURATION # [...] # Send all mail to a smarthost smarthost: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = * orion.sc byname end I *wrote* byname, which tells Exim to use gethostbyname() to find the IP address of orion and not bydns_* BUT, Exim *still* makes DNS lookups for orion.sc, which is very annoying, 'cause this establishs a connection to the internet. It fixes the problem if i set the route_list to * 192.168.0.1 byname - but I don't understand why * orion.sc byname doesn't work. Well, it works, if I remove the default gateway on gryffindor pointing to orion, but sure that's not the solution. The router section on orion looks like this: ## # ROUTERS CONFIGURATION # [...] # Deliver mail to the local net via gethostbyname(), not via DNS lan: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = *.sc $domain byname # Send all mail to a smarthost smarthost: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = * smtprelay.t-online.de bydns_a end Here's the same problem; Exim establishs a internet connection because of a DNS lookup. In both cases, the mail gets delivered correctly, but it should work without establishing a internet connection. Can somebody please tell me what am I missing?

Apache-ssl query
Hello all, I've got apache-ssl up and running nicely For the record apache-ssl comes with a properly setup httpd.conf whereas apt-get apache needs editing The question is i've heard apache-ssl should be able to handle straight http queries as well as https is this true? if so what do i need to do to make it so? or should i run a second version of vanilla apache for this purpose? TIA John
