Cyrus Imapd / Saslauthd Configuration
I'm attempting to install the cyrus21 2.1.5-1 packages on a Debian machine to utilize saslauthd authentication (saslauthd is set to look at PAM). I've made the requisite change in /etc/imapd.conf and enabled the saslauthd daemon in /etc/defaults/saslauthd, but I am still having trouble. When I attempt to make a test login using imtest, I receive the following error in auth.log: imapd: cannot connect to saslauthd server Any ideas why this might be? Saslauthd is listening in /var/run/saslauthd/mux by default, I presume Cyrus would look here. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Apache fails to ExecCGI properly
Why do you say that? It's probably not returning the headers you think it should ;) I assume you have run it from the command line -- and as the user apache is running as? Yes, the script runs fine from the command line. mod_perl will also correctly execute it. Daniel
Re: Apache fails to ExecCGI properly
Look at /var/log/apache/suexec.log. I think it's because your scripts are outside the suexec docroot (which is /var/www/ in the Debian packages). Looks like you might be onto something. This is what I get in the suexec.log: [2002-03-01 14:27:25]: info: (target/actual) uid: (whelan/whelan) gid: (dialout/dialout) cmd: foo.sh [2002-03-01 14:27:25]: crit: cannot run as forbidden gid (20/foo.sh) So...it is correctly identifying my user as whelan and my group as dialout (group being a result of group mismapping across architectures). The questions are, why is gid 20 forbidden and how can this be changed. Daniel
Apache fails to ExecCGI properly
Hey...On an a Apache (1.3.23-1) system, ExecCGIs are failing under all circumstances. mod_perl, mod_php, mod_jk are functioning properly. Similarly configured machines seem to work proplerly as well, and I've read over the config file several times and cannot find the problem. Here are some clips of interest from the config: AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .sh VirtualHost *:80 ServerName www.csit.fsu.edu DocumentRoot /home/www/csit Directory /home/www/csit Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes AllowOverride All Order Allow,Deny Allow From All /Directory ErrorLog /var/log/apache/sites/www/error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache/sites/www/access.log combined /VirtualHost If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks! Daniel

Re: Apache fails to ExecCGI properly
Whoops! Forgot to include the log message. The error log is reporting a premature end of script headers. Unfortunately, it isn't as simple as that error usually is.

Syncing packages across cluster
I'm currently setting up a cluster of several Debian machines that is to be used as a login/general usage cluster (i.e. they're not workstations, they're more like servers that people will ssh into and do workstation type-things on, as well as compiles and other tasks. Is there any solution for having any package installs/removals/reconfigures propagated to the other memebers of the cluster, such that in the future if I make any changes the other members will be updated as well?

Re: Managing many Debian machines
i love dpkg-repack! you can setup a box, then recreate the .deb with your settings, and install it anywhere. (ok, my debian network is four machines, so this approach may be worth just 0.02$...) Nice solution...I was looking into creating a dummy package of just the config files we needed to install a configuration specific to our setup, but this might work as well. Question: apt-get is a noticebly interactive program...what kind of problems does one run into when running it from a cronjob or the like? This is the major issue in applications involving many machines, as I want to keep the machines up to date (or at least up to what I say is the up to date version at the moment), yet I don't have the resources to ssh into each box and do an apt-get. Hiring college students to do this isn't an option, either. =) Daniel
Managing many Debian machines
Greetings - I am currently looking for a solution to managing and maintaining a large number of Debian machines. While I absolutely love apt-get, manually apt-getting a hundred machines to upgrade one piece of software is suboptimal. Is there any way to automate this process? One solution that has been suggested is to NFS mount some of the software off a server - my issue with this is that it would hose the package management somewhat. Does anyone have any experience with this? Daniel # Daniel Whelan Sysadmin, FSU - CSIT # [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.csit.fsu.edu # Life's not fair, but the root password helps.
GDM XDMCP Problem
Hey...I recently aquired a nice little 15 monochrome X-terminal (NCD 15r) and have been having some trouble in getting everything working fine in conjunction with a Debian-woody box. I got the thing to boot with no problem using TFTP and BootP, but the problem occurs when logging into the remote machine. I'm running GDM, and the login screen comes up fine...it authenticates properly as well, and only lets me past with a proper user/password. Immediately after successfully logging in, however, the x-session is terminated. I get a message on the middle of my x-terminal: There are 1 local and 0 remote apps running. Shutdown windows and logout?. The following is from the GDM logs running in verbose mode: Nov 5 17:00:17 sun3 gdm[4539]: gdm_slave_session_start: Authentication completed.

Password Change Machine
I'm currently configuring a machine to be the master password machine for a large network of machines. Is there a way to configure it to allow only root to get an actual console, and to have all other users redirected to a password change program? Thanks, Daniel

Set root's shell to whichever you prefer, and set the regular user's shell to /usr/bin/passwd. Yeah...I thought of this at first, but I need a solution that doesn't mess with the passwd file at all, as the passwd file is distributed to other machines on a regular basis, and the users actually need access to their shell there. :) Daniel
Boot disk dilemma
OK folks...it looks like I've got myself a bit of a problem. Suffice to say, the libc.so.6 on one of my boxes got wiped out. Unfortunately, I'm nowhere near the box, and only have a semi-computer-literate remote hands at the location, without any boot disks (well, there was one, but it doesn't boot anymore). So, I figure the best solution is to make some sort of boot disk with just enough to boot up, mount the filesystem, and either copy libc.so.6 from a floppy or download it from a machine. Then I could walk him through creating a floppy from a disk image, and all would be well. Any suggestions on this? Daniel _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Re: SSH Obsolete?
This is OpenSSH (from non-us.debian.org). Is there an OpenSSH2 package? If so, it's not showing up in dselect. In fact, other than this package (which is marked obsolete) no other ssh packages show up: except qmtpssh, which is not what I'm looking for. If you're interested in OpenSSH 2.1.something, you can fetch the Woody packages, you need ssh, ssh-askpass(-gnome) and libssl095 AFAIR. Isn't the currently debianized ssh2 package the official ssh2 (i.e. non-free, sucky licensed one) as opposed to the OpenSSH 2 version? Are there debian packages of the latter hiding someplace?

Re: ATA 66 support in Debian
i use Debian 2.1 slink but it looks that ATA66 doesnt work - HD Maxtor Diamond Max. Is ATA66 supported in Debian, if so what to do ? It depends on the kernel you're using, Peter. ATA66 support was added sometime in the 2.3.x kernel series; the 2.4.0-test3 is the most recent. As far as I know, there is no ATA66 support in the 2.2.x series (perhaps there is a kernel patch though). Anyway, with a kernel that supports it I've had no trouble using it under debian.

libssl09 vs libssl095a
I am trying to install libapache-mod-ssl, but am unable to for the following reason: libapache-mod-ssl depends on openssl and libssl09. openssl depends on libssl095a. libssl09 and libssl095a conflict with one another, making the whole thing unresolvable. :( Any ideas on how to get around this, or should a bug report be filed with someone?

Network Reconfiguration
Hi, I recently posted about a problem in changing the networking from one configuration to another. It worked initially, but after changing /etc/rc.d/network, /etc/networks, and /etc/hosts it didn't work. Upon restoring these files to their previous state and moving it back to the original network (my house), the box functioned normally. Am I missing something really obviou? :) This appears massively in /var/log/messages: Jan 14 15:15:02 flux kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out, status e426, CSR12 50cc, resetting... Thanks for you help folks... Daniel
Network Reconfiguration
Hi, I'm rather new to the Debian distro (primarily use Redhat and MkLinux (which is RedHat based)). I recently did a fresh install on a server and configured it with local network info so I could install software and such. This morning I changed /etc/rc.d/network to the proper settings and it was installed at the ISP again...the problem: It seems now there are error messages coming up in the console (i'm not there, so I can access the box myself). SIOCDARTY Invalid Argument Transmit Timed Out Status: CSR12 Resetting If anyone has any idea what could be causing this, help would be appreciated. If you need any specific details on the system (its running potato), let me know and I'll get them. Thanks! Daniel
