How can I install/configure an Xproxy/Xfirewall?
Hello. I'm having some trouble installing an Xproxy in my system, can someone give some (ANY) ideas? This is what I want to do: I have a COW (Cluster of Workstations) in a private subnet, and a gateway to connect them all to the outside world (in this case our Faculty net). I want to give access to the COW to all/some of our teachers through the gateway, using X. As 99% of them are using some version of Windows (95,98,NT,2000), the connection will be through some X client, like X-Win32, or similar. I've installed xdm on the gateway machine, and configure it to serve xdm through the net using XDMCP. This way the clients can connect to the gateway machine and the xdm login screen is shown on the client and allows the user to login. But this is not what I want, because I don't want the user to login to the gateway, but to some/any workstation inside the COW. I've played around with lbxproxy/xfwp/proxymngr and can't figure how they are supposed to work. So this is what I want: The client (mainly using Windows) should connect to the COW. But between them is a gateway/firewall. How can I configure the gateway so that is allows the X connections to pass through? Please don't say RTFM, as I've read all I've found. If anyone can give more specific answers, I would be very gratefull. Thanks. pmguerre
Configure muttzilla

Problems upgrading CorelLinux to potato
[Please CC me in all replies, as I don't read debian-user] Hi. I needed to do a quick install of a linux box today, and I've choosed to install CorelLinux, with a full install. Then I upgraded it to frozen potato, using apt, and I've come across some problems[1]: 1) cron package didn't configured sucessfully, as the CorelLinux cron package refused to be upgraded. This caused all packages depending of the new cron to be half-installed/half-configured until I fixed it. 2) When I restarted my machine, the mouse (PS/2) refused to work both in X and in the console. I've reconfigured it with gpm, and it started working in the console, but not in X[2]. 3) After the reboot, the kdm won't let me login, complainig about all the user/passwords I give. I can logon using the console perfectly though. So, as anyone seen this? 1 and 2 don't bother me, I've reported them so that others can see it. 3 OTOH I need to fix. I have a feeling that this is a problem with some pam modules/rotines and the kdm. Does anybody have an ideia as to what can I try? Thanks, Pedro Guerreiro [1] I'm not using the system now, so the report is how I remember it. [2] After I leave, a colleague of mine phoned me reporting that this was fixed, but I haven't checked. -- Pedro Guerreiro UIN: 48533103 Universidade do Algarve (EST) - Campus da Penha - 8000 Faro - PORTUGAL GPG: 0xCF32D4E7F506 DDF4 0B92 247D B8E6 13BA A6DB 9E3A CF32 D4E7

# Reboot button
/usr/bin/wish EOF
wm geometry . +0-0
button .halt -text Halt -command {exec shutdown -h now}

pack .halt .reboot -side left

e estas no fim do ficheiro /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup_0

# Reboot button
if test -r /var/run/xdmbutton_0.pid; then
kill `cat /var/run/xdmbutton_0.pid`
rm /var/run/xdmbutton_0.pid

O que isto faz é adicionar dois botões num canto do display do login do XDM:
um para fazer reboot outro para fazer halt.

Which are the permitions for /dev/tty?
Hi. I seem to have a little trouble with pgp/gpg and /dev/tty permitions. My /dev/tty device was like this: root:/dev $ ls -l tty crw-r--r-- 1 root sys5, 0 Mar 6 17:26 tty root:/dev $ And pgp/gpg were breaking with permitions errors with /dev/tty. So tried this: add my account to the group 'sys', and changing /dev/tty to be group write, like this: root:/dev $ ls -l tty crw-rw-r-- 1 root sys5, 0 Mar 6 17:26 tty root:/dev $ Now, everything works, but I'm not very convinced that this is the right way to work thing out. BTW, I'm using kernel 2.2.2-ac7, but I've tried this 2.0.35, 2.0.36, 2.2.1, 2.2.2-ac4 and it gives the same result with all of them. Can anybody out there just reasure that this is ok, _or_ if this is not ok, then just give any ideia as to what might be happening?

Problems with pgp and gpg
Hi. I'm having problems with the permitions for using pgp and gpg. It's
diferent symptoms but the problem it's the same (I think). Let me explain
the problem:
With pgp:
-
When I try to make my own .deb packages, using 'build -rfakeroot', the script
breaks when running pgp with this error:
---begin quote---
Enter pass phrase: cannot open tty, using stdin
Unable to get terminal characteristics: ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device
---end quote---
If I try to run the build script under root ('su root', then 'build'), it
runs smoothly (I've copyed my ~/.pgp dir to /root/.pgp just to try this out).
On the other hand, If I try to run pgp by itself (using 'pgp -sa ...' or
whathever), it runs great. Why does it run if called directly, but breaks if
called under the build script? Some problem with this script?
With gpg:
-
Well, with gpg the problem goes like this: If I run it under my account,
it doesn't matter if it's called in the command line or from the build script,
it breaks right away with the following error:
---begin quote---
gpg: fatal: cannot open /dev/tty: Permission denied
secmem usage: 0/0 bytes in 0/0 blocks of pool 0/16384
---end quote---
But if I run under root, everything goes well. This one seems like a problem
with the permitions.
So, the problem goes like this: I think the problem has something to do with
the /dev/tty permitions, but if I'm right, why can I run pgp? And the big
question is, how can I solve this?
BTW, I'm running kernel 2.2.2-ac4, and I think maybe this has something to do
with it, because the last time I've used pgp, about 6/7 months ago (I didn't
need it so... ;-)), I was running 2.0.x, and everything went smoothly.
If needed, I can send you the /dev listing.
Thanks.
