Buenos días, tardes o noches, según dependa. Acabo de meter en mi portatil el núcleo 2.4-test12 de GNU/Linux y todo ha ido perfecto, el soporte integrado de pcmcia ha solucionado el follón existente con el pcmcia-cs 3.22 que a m no me funcionaba con mi ethernet compatible ne2000 y muchas cosas más que funcionan mejor. La sopresa ha venido al hacer un 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' después de desinstalar el paquete pcmcia-cs dado que posteriormente he instalado pcmcia-cs diréctamente desde sus fuentes originales y no me ha dado problemas, si, si me he leido el README_2.4 y todo perfecto.

Soft de Backup.
Hola a todos: Hace un tiempo pedí en la lista opiniones sobre una configuración para poder realizar copias de seguridad de una red local (TODO Windows). La popuesta era la siguiente. Propuesta: - Servidor Linux Debian. - Compartir mediante Samba y seguridad=user para que no se puedan ver los directorios personales entre ellos. - Backup usando amanda o kbackup, todavía no lo tengo claro. Necesitaría uno con interface de línea de comandos (para lanzarlo desde un cron y con un interface de menú o gráfico para el interactivo. - Cinta DAT Seagata 12/24 GB (Si está soportado). He podido hacer unas cuantas pruebas con el kbackup, pero me peta estrepitosamente. Lo único que he conseguido es que me diga que hay un error en la copia (sin dar más pistas). Por favor, ¿sabe alguien de otras opciones?. Saludos Pablo Villanueva

Re: Alienar RPMs...
Hola. Soy reciente en linux, pero antes de Potato, y en su espera, me instalé una SuSE 6.3. Quizá debido a mi querencia por Debian, probé varios gestores de paquetes que andaban por allí, por los menús de KDE, y que afirmaban poder gestionar paquetes debian. Cada uno de los gestores tuvo su oportunidad en diversas ocasiones, y nunca conseguí echar a andar un .deb en SuSE. La verdad es que tampoco se las apañaban demasiado bien con los rpm, pero eso no me importaba, tiraba de YaST. Y también, seguro que otras utilidades de consola seguro que irían mejor. El caso es que salí yo escaldado de eso de andar mangoneando con los formatos de paquetes. Hasta que no hace mucho, ya con debian, decidí que necesitaba urgentemente instalar la ultímííísima versión de Amaya, y decidí tirar de alien, a ver qué pasaba, porque ésa no la localizaba en formato .deb. Dado que fue como la seda, pues supongo que ésta es una importante utilidad de alien, puesto que no debe ser muy bueno soltar directamente al rpm en el patio debian. Saludos.

X keyboard problem
Hello, I am using Debian 2.2r0 and wdm. Often when I log out of an X session, and return to the wdm login screen, the keyboard dies. The mouse would be still fine, but I cannot login again because the keyboard wouldn't be working. It starts working again only after the machine is rebooted. Sometimes it takes two or three reboots to get the keyboard going again. The keyboard section of my XF86Config file looks like this: Section Keyboard ProtocolStandard XkbDisable XkbKeymap xfree86(us) EndSection (I disabled the XKEYBOARD extension because I thought that may have been the cause, but the problem still persists, though it doesn't happen as frequently now.) The board has 104 keys. Any help is appreciated. Regards, Raghavendra. -- N.

I didn't see any promising drivers (aside from a SurfBoard 1000, which is completely different) in the kernel. The Surfboard 4100 can indeed be connected to a Linux box. As long as the Linux box has an ethernet card and is configured correctly to use it, the Surfboard will work.

Is this proverbial kill file another filter listed at te end of my .procmailrc, or something sourced from somewhere else? Any pointers in how to set one up apreciated. Especially one that can be easily added to... I've set up and am using Lars Wirzenius's procmail recipes, available as the Debian 'spamfilter' package. They're pretty good, but there are some things you should be aware of. First, I'd suggest the following as a general configuration for setting up mail filtering rules: - backup important messages - cron-subroutine - handle duplicate messages - handle DAEMON MESSAGES - handle plus addressed message (RFC plus or sendmail plus addresses) - handle server requests (file server, ping responder...) - drop MAILING LIST messages - send possible vacation replies only after all above - apply kill file - detect mime and format or modify the message body - save private messages - and last: FILTER UBE. My own inclination is to use a default deny policy. I'm seeing huge proportions of Asia-originating spam -- jp, cn, kr, and uunet.com, are probably my primary sources. I'd like to be able to set this up at the ISP level so that I can automatically reject all mail known to be spam, but am currently stuck with dealing with it after I've downloaded it via fetchmail. WRT spamfilter: - If you're not familiar with it, procmail rules are somewhat complex, and Lars is an adept. Working out what's going on is complicated for newbies. - TURN OFF THE AUTORESPONDER. The easiest way is to add a negation to the rule in ~/.procmail/rules/spam.rules: * ! ...prior to the sendmail rule. - Enable logging, and I'd highly encourage verbose logging. - Go over your mailing list filter rules very carefully. Anything you don't catch here will be treated as spam. I really pissed off a list admin (and author of a software package I'm quite interested in) by autoresponding to a post of his as spam. Not to mention Theo de Raat's response on OpenBSD-misc last week Great OS, but man, what a personality - The greylist rules are broken and don't properly identify all list mail. They also trap my list *responses* to a couple of lists incorrectly, meaning my posts don't show in folder. This is annoying to say the least. Other than that (and yes, I sometimes do ask myself if it's been worth the trouble), the filters are effective. I get some 500+ pieces of mail a day, subscribe to over a dozen lists, and see a fair bit of personal mail. I've found a few pieces of miscategorized mail, one or two items of miscategorized spam, and a slightly more substantial amount of mail which turns up in my greylist. But the bulk of spam is properly sorted. What I'm working on now is tools to handle spam responses for me. -- Karsten M.

Re: Surfboard 4100 cable modem?
On Mon, Dec 18, 2000 at 07:31:17AM +, Phillip Deackes [EMAIL PROTECTED] was heard to say: I thought cable-modems generally were external things that used an ethernet board in the computer itself to hook the system up to the cable box. However, he says that Windows doesn't have a driver for any sort of Ethernet card, instead it has some sort of Motorola Surfboard 4100 driver. This suggests to me that they have their own private type of Ethernet card that will have to be handled. Does anyone know first if this is correct, and second if there's any hope of getting the Linux kernel to talk to these devices? I didn't see any promising drivers (aside from a SurfBoard 1000, which is completely different) in the kernel. The Surfboard 4100 can indeed be connected to a Linux box. As long as the Linux box has an ethernet card and is configured correctly to use it, the Surfboard will work. The latest version of the Surfboard has an alternative method of connecting to the PC by using USB - maybe this is what you mean when you say that Windows appears to have a Surfboard driver and no ethernet driver? Ah, maybe that's what's happening. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's a driver for the USB interface, if that's what they're using. :( So I guess they'll have to buy more hardware if they want to use Linux, or wait for someone to write one..

Re: installing pine
Quoting Dwight Johnson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): On Sun, 17 Dec 2000, ktb wrote: You might want to try mutt. I like it a lot better. It took some configuring but it isn't as clunky as pine. I have recently been trying mutt and, quite honestly, I have find mutt a lot clunkier than Pine. One example: when you call up Pine for the first time in any home directory, Pine creates a default .pinerc and it is extremely easy to customize Pine from the Pine master menu. In contrast, with mutt, no .muttrc is created automatically on first use and evidently there exists no easy to use configuration program (at least I have been unable to find one) as there is in Pine. These are the sorts of issues that concern beginners who can be helped by having a good /etc/Muttrc file. Power users aren't really concerned. As my institutional copy of mutt resides in my own disk space (they don't support it), I would be disappointed at being quota'd for all that redundant help. It took me an hour of wading through documentation to figure out how to just get my 'From:' header to display my e-mail address. Apparently, I must do the same for each item of customization I want in mutt. Another example: control and navigation keys are clearly displayed at the bottom of each Pine screen. For the equivalent functionality in mutt, I must press '?' and wade through a gadzillion keys displayed over multiple screens. There's a set of key bindings in the deb for people used to pine. Again, for the power user, there's no desire for real estate to be wasted on stuff like that. I would gladly convert to mutt from Pine just to get a more pure open source license. But, in my opinion, the clunkiness of mutt makes such a conversion quite formidable when I must still read my e-mail each day. There are very few different commands you actually need just to read day-to-day emails, and the keystrokes needed can be (and are by default?) displayed in one line. So I am very surprised to hear you say that you think Pine is clunkier than mutt. I would welcome learning in what ways. Configurability, customisability, whatever, of keystrokes and status information for each type of screen, navigation, colours, headers, editor, etc. Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
