Debian 6.0 and Raid
I'm installing Deb 6.0 on a system with and I2O raid adapter and a single raid 5 and the installation is not able to install a boot loader on the raid, either LILO or Grub. Is this normal?

Having trouble with Cron
Maybe someone can help out with this. I have a bash script I run at 1am every morning via an entry in cron.d. It records an echo in a file when done so I can record it running. The trouble I'm having with it is that it's recording that's it has completed about once a minute from the hour starting a 1 am until 2 am!. I'm not sure it's actually running that entire time. I can't imagine that it would run exactly for a perfect hour then stop. If I run the script by hand it only takes a few minutes and records only one entry into my log file. In /etc/cron.d/backuppublishers I have * 1 * * * root/bin/backuppublishers The script is an rsync routine and an echo to my log file.

php4 on Squeeze?

Sources for Debian 4.0 Etch
Hello all, Call me crazy but I'm still using Etch on my server. It's very stable and does everything I need it to do so I'm sticking with it. My problem is I can no longer get packages for it because it is so outdated the apt-sources list is no longer current and doesn't work. Where can I get packages for Etch? I've tried using http://www.backports.org/debian etch main contrib non-free in my apt-sources file but it too gives errors on updating apt. I realize I no longer get security updates but that's fine too. Thanks, Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

SSH Keys and Debian
I have two deb machines I ssh to constantly on our lan. I had previously set up ssh-keys on these machines to rsync files to one machine. This morning I ran the ssh update the system update wanted me to run and can't ssh to this machine without using a password. I've rerun the keygen on the other machines and transfered them to the computer I log into but still get prompted for the password. Any ideas? I figure it's something to do with the update as it generated all new host keys, etc after it was installed. Thanks, Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

4 gigs of ram shows only 3 in meminfo
Just installed a new server that has 4 gigs of ram. Running cat /proc/meminfo shows only 3 gigs of memory. I though maybe there was a bad stick. Checking the bios screen at boot does show 4 gigs. Any ideas why etch isn't seeing all 4 gigs? Thanks, Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

TIA for any info, Ed Hi, I recently built a box with an onboard Nvidia NIC, and it didn't work under Etch. I spent several days Googling and troubleshooting it until I finally gave up and installed a PCI NIC I knew would work. The problem seemed to boil down to the fact that the forcedeth driver was not able to query to NIC properly to get its MAC address, so it would just assign a random MAC address to it instead. Because of this, the NIC got a different device designation (eth0, eth1, etc.) each time the computer booted, and it wasn't possible to use udev to fix it since the MAC address was always different. One of my Google searches brought up a post that said this was fixed in the forcedeth driver in testing, but I didn't try it. - Dave Sounds like I'll just add a Intel Pro/1000 Dual Port adapter to it then and not worry about the Nvidia nic.

Re: Upgrade to PHP 4.2.3 or higher
Please don't do this on Woody! It will almost certainly pull in new versions of perl and libc6 which *will* completely hose your system. Thanks to everyone who responded.

Filesystem size
I seem to have a problem with one of my systems. At least filesystem reporting makes it appear that way. My / filesystem on a system is 1.9G in size and is reporting via 'df -h' 100% use. If I check it against 'du -hcxL' it says only 113M is in use. What else can I use to check it? The drives are part of a hardware raid and it's the only system I have that will accept the drives, so mounting them in another system to check is out of the question.

System/Bios Time
Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this for me. Our system's time has been off by about 30 minutes for the last month or so. When I run ntpdate and set the time we would get some wierd things happening on the system (i.e. Service unavailable in apache, etc.) I would have to move the time forward at least the 30 minutes again to have the system act normally. This morning at 5:31 I shutdown the server to look at the bios time and date. It showed the correct date but the time was 10:04. I set it to the correct time of 5:31 and rebooted. When I checked the server time after the reboot it said 1:04 am with the correct date. I used ntpdate to update and everything is running normally. Can anyone shed some light on to why the system/bios time would differ like that or why running ntpdate and setting the correct time would affect the server as mentioned above?

I've only seen this problem on dual boot machines where on installation you set the time to the hardware clock but switching between systems does strange things. This doesn't apply here but you could try rerunning base-config and see if that helps I use ntpdate and I've never seen this but other people recommend chrony.. could be worth a try. It's not a dual-boot. I'm not sure but I think the bios date/time had something to do with it because I haven't had a problem with it since resetting it and updateing with ntpdate.

either like this, where it would be good if you could register the
script as a shutdown function, but then you'll have to be aware of the
difference in behaviour of register_shutdown_function() in differing php
versions.
or, if you're lucky, the cli version of php is installed and you can
call any php script with php -f yourscript.php.
If you don't have php cli installed on your machine, you can also use
wget to call your script from cron. Check the man page for details on how
to use it. It's very simple.

Rsync options
I'm rsyncing some directories to an offsite machine for backup purposes
and am running into some problems with permissions. I'd like to keep the
same owner,group and permissions on each file rsync'd. I've tried
rsync -a {src} [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/{dest}
and
rsync -pog {src} [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/{dest}
and the owner always gets changed to daemon and the group to users.
The file permissions seem to be preserved with either option set. What do
I need to keep the same owner,group?
Thanks,

Server response slow (revisited)
So far I've managed to speed up pop processes by adding all my Lan hosts to the /etc/hosts file. This also help internal ssh logins. Also, I found my problem with SMTP response times. Apparently the RBL I was using was slowing down the process. I removed their entries and SMTP requests are now instantaneous.

Slow server response
Just recently one of our servers has started to respond to certain requests rather slowly. POP, SMTP, and SSH reqeusts have started showing slower reponse times from the server. I'm running Woody on a dual processor machine with 2 gigs of memory and a hardware raid. Uptime shows our load average at 1.17 and top shows 98.2% system resources free. I don't know where to look to find out why the server is repsonding so slow. Thanks, Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Check the logs -- is the slowness in server response itself, or in the network? For instance, if there's a firewall/router upstream of the server, that could have slowed down or been overloaded. The logs show no errors other than a canonical name error. That's been going on for years. I did fix that. I don't believe it's a network problem either.

Troubleshoot FTP
Sorry if this isn't the right place for this but I don't know where else to turn. A client of mine has recently started having connection problems to my ftp server hosted under Debian. He says he simply cannot reach us. I can ftp just fine to his server. They think we have changed something on our end that would cause this problem. I've checked our access-list on our Cisco but there's nothing there blocking ftp connections. I'm planning on a little field trip to their office over the next week to try to troubleshoot the problem. What methods can I use to find out what is stopping the connection. The only methods I know of are ping and traceroute but that's not going to tell me what's causing the problem. My server is connected via Sprint. Their server is connected via Verizon. Personally I think it's something on Verizon blocking ftp from their end but I need to be able to prove it to them so they will go after their ip provider with the evidence. Any ideas?

Upgrading to sarge
Just want to know if I'm following the correct path here. I set up a mirror test system to see if I could accomplish this correctly before attempting it on my production server. I currently run Woody. I ran apt-get update then apt-get upgrade to make sure my system was up to date. I then changed all instances of stable to sarge in my sources.list and then ran apt-get dist-upgrade. It shows that I have 221 packages to upgrade, 95 new, 2 to remove.

Upgrading PHP Version
Hello, I've searched the archives and haven't found anything on this as of yet. I'm running 3.0 woody and need to upgrade my php version to better than 4.1.2. I need at least 4.2.0.
