help with mailscanner and mailwatch and unstale packages
I need to know if there is a debian list that has unstable packages. Seems the one I've found do not work when trying to get the latest version (unstable) of mailscanner_4.51.5-1 Also like to know if there is someone on the list that uses mailscanner and mailwatch. I'm having an issue where the mailwatch (web interface) does not load properly. It only comes up with a blank page when it's suppose to prompt for username and password. There are no errors I can see in the apache web logs or the mail logs Thanks Jon
running backup
I have a file that I want to run daily to backup data. This tgz file then
needs to be copied to a Windows 2003 server. I'm using smbclient, but it does
not seem to work thru the script. Can someone point out where the problem
lies. I run this as a cron job as follows:
30 19 * * 1,2,3,4,5 root /root/rubybackup.sh
The script is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
# script to automate the backup of the Ruby server to the W2K3 server
#
DAY=`date +'%a-%d-%m-%y'`
BACKUPDIR=/backup
RUBYLIVE=/var/lib/mysql/
cd $RUBYLIVE
tar -czvf /backup/rubylive${DAY}.tgz ./rubylive
cd $BACKUPDIR
smbclient //server/backup tfc651800 -U administrator
put rubylive${DAY}.tgz
Thanks
Help with iptables
I'm trying to construct a set of rules that would allow udp ports 5060, 7824, 49152:65535 6000:6004 to come in as well as go out. It is my understanding that these packets needs to be able to have an open port both incoming and outgoing. What I'm looking for is the iptables rule to allow these ports in. The external interface is on eth1 and the internal (LAN) is on eth0. Thanks, Jon
backup on DVD
Does anyone know of any script that can backup to a DVD media? What I want to do is run a nightly backup of certain samba shares data M-F and rotate the disk either daily or weekly on the server. Furthermore, if possible have the backup report the amount of space used in an e-mail sent to the backup operator. Thanks Jon L.

setting up mirrored server
I'm in the process of setting up a server with 2 disks that I want to mirror. I'm using a Promise Fasttrack S150 Tx2 plus SATA card. I've gotten the system to boot stating it has the 1 logical volume, however, when I use the Sarge DVD to do the install it reports the 2 physical drives instead of the single volume. Is this correct or have I not done something right. Based on info I've found on google, it seems that I have to partition one drive and mimic the partition on the second drive. Is this correct?

hacked server
I have a hacked server that has a few rootkits installed.

I'm going to try 2 methods a) using the boot cd and going in as a single entity and installing the driver while the new card is installed and b) try to compile the new drivers without the card. The new card is a fasttrack tx2 2300 which is the replacement for the fasttrack 150 Sata Tx2plus. Any ideas on how I replace the Controller card and or fix the other problem. Jon Jon L.

replying to list
Is there a simple way to reply to the list when using the digest form. It just that I do not want a lot of email floating around so I selected to have the digest only come to me. But I find it difficult to reply to an individual from the digest. anyone know of a better way to doing this? Thanks
Re: kernel update from 2.4.26 to 2.6
Is your search string 'kernel-image'? I get a lot more entries. You should check your sources.list Andrei [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:43:34 am 3/02/2006 Yes I get a lot more, I only gave a sample, what I was showing is that I do not get the version on the strings that are returned when I do a apt-cache search kernel-image and I get nothing if I do a apt-cache search linux-image.

upgrading a kernel

The current kernel is Linux mei 2.4.26 #9 Fri Sep 17 09:13:49 WST 2004 i686 unknown. The only reason I have to do this is due to we are running a software (MyNetfone) a software VOIP product on the users desktop and we cannot get the voice to come back through and this was due to not having sip_conntrack as a module loaded or available.

forwarding iptable packets
I'm having a major problem trying to forward packets from either a workstation of the LAn to the Internet. I want to be sure I'm doing this correctly. I set a forward rule: $IPT -A FORWARD -i $INT_IFACE -o eth1 -p tcp --dport 1262 -j ACCEPT Then I set a PREROUTING rule $IPT -A PREROUTING -i $EXT_IFACE -p tcp --dport 1262 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.xxx.xxx All I can see using tethereal on the network is SYN packets. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks
RE: IDE PCI Advice Needed
Stan, What I would do is the following: As you've stated run the primary IDE on the 20GB drive and remove the secondary drive. Compile the kernel (2.6) with the correct driver. When completed, add the 250G drive back and try to access that drive. I didn't have the same problem but a similar problem where the CD did not have the driver for a SATA drive. I ended up putting in a PATA drive and building the system around this (linux26) and all went ok. Then I compiled a driver for the SATA and ran the SATA drive as a secondary drive. I'm not sure if during an initial install one could add a parameter to point to a complied kernel or device module (on a floppy) to load the driver for a drive and then return to the CD to complete the installation. Be like hitting F6 in Windows to load a driver for the Controller. If any one on the list know if it's possible please reply. Jon [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:36:02 pm 28/01/2006

network card problem
Recently I had to replace a motherboard and 2 network card due to a static discharge in a rack. I've now have 2 networks cards in the server and they load ok, both can be seen with lspci. The interrupts are not being shared or anything of the sort. Yet one of the cards (Netgear FA311) will not respond to a ping. This the is tests that I've done. 1) connect a cable from the FA311 to a hub, put my workstation on the hub and the Cisco 2821 router's gigabit interface on the same hub. from there I ping the router - that was good, ping the gateway server with the FA311 (no reply, times out). 2) from the router I was able to ping the workstation yet when pinging the gateway server again times out and no reply. Had a look at the interrupt the card is on irq19 whereas the other card is on irq 16. I've unloaded the driver and reloaded it and still nothing and no errors when it loads. Can anyone suggest any test or a fix that may help in resolving this issue? Summary: Gateway server Debian 3.x eth0 - Netgear FA311* *fa3xx.o (notice that it states that it is running a half duplex if this helps) eth1 - Realtek 8129 a crossover cable connects the gateway server (eth0 192.168.100.2) to the Cisco 2821 router (gigaethernet0/0 192.168.100.1), whereas the other nic (eth1) connects to a Cisco 2950 switch. Thanks
Failed to load module e1000
On reboot of our Debian server the 2 x Intel 1000 GT nic are not detected and therefore do not load. When I try modprobe e1000 I get a message stating it cannot find the file e1000.o, although the file is there and in the right location. This appears to be some sort of interrupt conflict or something to that affect. The problem is I keep getting error message stating that insmod is having a problem with IO or IRQ. If I do a lspci I see no mention of the nic and same in the /var/log/message or /var/log/syslog. How do I get the card detected so it can be loaded? Thanks
redirecting where cucipop looks for mail
I've had to move the mailbox (/var/spool/mail) from the installed location to another location /db/mail. This was done due to space constraints. Like to know if anyone knows how to reconfigure cucipop to point to /db/mail instead of /var/spool/mail. Users are not getting their e-mail in their clients. Thanks Jon
getting PHP and MySQL to work together
I would like to have Apache2, PHP4 and MySQL to work together. I did a apt-get mysql-server, php and several other modules and it all went in. I can access mysql from the local server and from using phpmyadmin from a WinXPP PC. However, when I run the phpinfo() from a php file, it does not mention has in it's listing a section on mysql. Is this normal ? It does have mention of several mysql modules: PHP Version 4.3.10-16 Loaded Modules - mod_auth_mysql supported databases - MySQL Configure Command - '--without-mysql' I'm just wondering is this is setup correctly.

cannot mount cdrom/dvd drive
I've managed to get Debian 2.6 installed on my system using a Pioneer DVD/CD-ROM Drive. After the install I wanted to use the DVD/CD as a source and found that the system does not recognize the drive. I also have a SATA drive 200GB installed. Seems that the 2.6 kernel treats the SATA as a sda1-4 but does ot see the IDE DVD/CD Rom. Can someone point me in the right direction to getting this fixed. dmesg: SCSI subsystem initialized libata version 1.02 loaded. ata_piix version 1.02 ata_piix: combined mode detected PCI: Setting latency timer of device :00:1f.2 to 64 ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x1F0 ctl 0x3F6 bmdma 0xF000 irq 14 ata1: dev 0 cfg 49:2f00 82:746b 83:7f01 84:4023 85:7469 86:3e01 87:4023 88:207f ata1: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 390721968 sectors: lba48 ata1: dev 0 configured for UDMA/133 scsi0 : ata_piix Using anticipatory io scheduler Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD2000JS-19M Rev: 02.0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 ata2: PATA max UDMA/33 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xF008 irq 15 ata2: dev 0 cfg 49:0f00 82:0218 83:4000 84:4000 85:0218 86: 87:4000 88:0407 ata2: dev 0 ATAPI, max UDMA/33 ata2: dev 0 configured for UDMA/33 scsi1 : ata_piix Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 System Stats: Intel P4 HyperThreading CPU 3.0 BioStar M/B P4ST4 1.2GB DDR memory WD200 SATA2 HDD Intel Pro/1000 NIC The SATA drive is set combined (giving access to both SATA and PATA drives).

how to use initrd command
I'm attempting to upgrade Debian 3.1 kernel version 2.4 to the latest 2.6 version. I understand I need to add a initrd command somewhere in this. How do I pass this command and when (a link to a document would be a big help). Thanks Jon
