CIPE in debian 2.2 - a few problems
Hi All, I use the CIPE encrypted channel to establish communication between my two separated intranet subnets. The cipcb daemon is loaded with following options in modules.conf: ### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/cipe alias cipcb0 cipcb alias cipcb1 cipcb alias cipci0 cipci alias cipci1 cipci options cipcb cipe_maxdev=2 cipe_debug=0 These settings should switch the debugging off (and in fact I get the following loading confirmation in my kern.log: Nov 12 00:38:19 wzab kernel: cipcb: CIPE driver vers 1.5.2 (c) Olaf Titz 1996-2000, 2 channels, debug=0), but anyway I get the following messages in my log files: (IP numbers are changed due to security reasons) Nov 12 01:29:57 wzab kernel: PROTO=17 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:1234 111.222.333.444:9876 L=108 S=0x00 I=58291 F=0x4000 T=64 Nov 12 01:29:57 wzab kernel: nf_hook: hook 4 already set.

a few problems
Hello to everybody. I started working with linux at version 0.97 (the old SLS relase and MCC release). Now things are getting a litle more easy and rich but I have a few problem I would like to solve. I am running slink 2.1r3 with a 2.2.14 kernel and I have a 486DX4 with a Trident TGUI9440AGI 1Mb memory and an old VGA monitor (monochrome TARGA TM1410). 1) While in W95 I can run 640x480 in XFree3.3.2.3 I must run 640x400 otherwise a part of the screen goes out the monitor I tried vidtune but no way. With 640x400 it uses a dotclock of 25.18. I include the starting message with mode 640x400 2) I tried to replace exim with qmail but I could not configure the MTA because when unpacked it complains about the host name which is not fully qualified. How could install it for a machine with no permanent link but which connect to a ISP ? I installed also ucsp and serial mail. 3) When I switched from 2.0.36 my ide CDROM was changed from 36X to 24X and I do not understand why.

Re: a few problems since upgrading to potato
Package: login
Severity: important
Just confirmed both your problems, and I'm filing them as important bugs
on the login and PAM packages. Thanks for the feedback.

I just upgraded my box from slink to potato over the weekend.
Everything went well for the most part, but I have a few small problems
that I haven't yet been able to figure out. Here they are, any help
would be appreciated:
1) In slink I had restricted tty1 logins to members of group root by
using the following entry in /etc/login.access:
-:ALL EXCEPT root:tty1
With potato, I have tried to set up the same feature via the following
lines in /etc/pam.d/login:
account required pam_access.so
and in /etc/security/access.conf:
-:ALL EXCEPT root:tty1
However, when I test this with a user who is not in group root, he can
log in fine. Is there something I am missing? How can I get this
functionality back?
Basically it looks like tty matching is broken. If you change tty1 to
ALL, it works (not for the tty1, but for everything). Can you also test
host mathing to see if that works at all? This is a problem in the
pam_access.so module itself.
3) I have the following line in /etc/login.defs:
SULOG_FILE /var/log/sulog
This used to work fine in slink; in potato however, the logs are still
written to that file but they are trashed. Here's an example:
SU 04/02 22:10 + tty2 jimb-äÀu
SU 04/02 22:20 + ttyp7 jimb-äÀ{
Looks like a non-terminated string pointer. Should be easy to find/fix.

a few problems...
I am installing debian for the first time, and have already installed the base system as well as selected some packages (yet to be installed). I accidentally pushed the reboot button on my computer, and got error messages, although it would still let me in. As I didn't know how to fix it at first, I kept just using it unfixed a few times, having to remount the drive read/write each time, then running dselect to select a few packages. I would then quit dselect, and type: shutdown now and the computer would reboot. I finally learned how to fix it (fsck /dev/hda2 while in /), and rebooted my computer, but now all commands are useless. When I type mount -n -o remount,rw / (in /) it says that the command can only be used in the root directory. I also tried it in /root, /home, but kept getting the same message. I also tried typing shutdown now (in /)and it did not recognize the command. Please help! Also, I was wondering how I can configure it so that I don't have to remount the drive every time.

There are others around here who are rather more expert than I am. :) xemacs21 for potato doesn't seem to adhere to debian policy with regard to delete/backspace escape characters - the Delete key sends a ^H in both X and terminal instead of the proper sequence. Also it corrupts the console when exiting by replacing the normal _ cursor with a block one. Not sure if that's a bug or feature :) Pass on this one, I don't use emacs. :) Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Somehow, i have both the script and the /etc/fstab entry, with no record of where they came from. Ok, time to grep all the changelogs in /usr/doc on my system...

Looking inside seems to configm, since all it contains are packaging data, md5 sums, and verivication signatures. There are many benefits: you can make changes to the source (for example, if the maintainer is slow in replying to bug reports for whatever reason) and end up with a deb, you can compile with different optimizations, you can compile against different libraries. On my system right now, i have 4-7 packages compiled from source: 1 or 4 (depending how you count it) to fix a dependancy problem while the maintainers pursue a more ambitious solution, one to correct a misfeature (filed as a wishlist bug...), one to fix a bug (being ignored?), and one to fix a bug and add functionality that will hopefully be included in the next version of the package. As for the CFLAGS, sometimes you can set the environment variable before starting the compilation, other times you'll just have to edit the proper files in the source. -- finger for GPG public key. 8 Jan 2000 - Old email addresses removed from key, new added pgpXpdIgNyWel.pgp Description: PGP signature

A few problems
Hi, I just installed Debian Linux 2.1. I'm running on a 400MHz PII with 128M RAM. Everything seemed to install ok. However, when I reboot my machine it says that xdm can't find a valid X configuration file and won't start. I then log in as root and run xdm from the command line without problems. Why would it not be able to find the config files? Next problem: Netscape. I downloaded Netscape Communicator 4.51 from Netscape's homepage and installed it. The first time it ran, it said it needed libg++.so.27. I finally found the library and installed it, but now Netscape segmentation faults when I run it. Any idea why it would do that? My final problem is related to the last one. When Netscape seg faulted, it didn't dump core. How do I set things up so that the core dumps? Thanks, Rich

PHT's November 1996 Debian distribution---a few problems
Dear Debians: FWIW, here's a copy of mail I sent to Pacific HiTech. I upgraded by FTPing the a.out dpkg, and had enough spare disk space (recent drive upgrade :-), it'll probably disappear soon) to copy the CD .deb files into and repair the symlink problems by hand. I believe the release is 1.1.11. I used dselect to upgrade---a really nice job. Thanks to you all!

I bought it for the Debian 1.1 distribution it contains, but found a couple of problems, and an oversight: Problem 1: Two of the symbolic links are wrong: one is self-referencing, leading to an infinite link-loop, and the other is dangling, with the referenced file non-existent. These prevent the Debian installation program from running. Nothing to be done about it now, but could you run a check for such in the future? The Debian master site is updated frequently, and I presume that taking a snapshot can easily copy links in transition (to say nothing of the occasional just plain error :-)). (Sorry, I left my notes at home. If you need the exact filenames, mail me and I'll get back to you.) Problem 2: The upgrades/ directory is missing. This contains instructions and required software for upgrading a 0.x (such as my 0.93R6) installation to a 1.x (say, the 1.1.11 on your CD). Please include it in future Debian releases. Oversight: The contrib/ directory is missing. Note that it is freely-distributable files, they are just not actively maintained by the Debian organization. As a result, for instance, I couldn't install LyX, which depends on the xforms package, found among the contrib packages. Thanks for your kind attention to these items.

Re: A few problems
Hi Miro -- (I'm not sure of these answers, but see if any of them help.) You asked: 1. After I recompiled the kernel, NAS loads fine at boot, but auplay et all tell me that they can't connect to audio server. Can anybody help?? I think that the error here may be that the kernel provided with 2.0.6 uses a non-standard IRQ (namely, 7) for sound boards. If you recompile a kernel, and use IRQ=5 for your sound board (which is what most of them really use), then you might get NAS to work. Alternatively, some people have reported that they get sound to work if they use kernel 2.0.0, but I don't know exactly what that works for them. 2. I can't get diald to work. Pppd works fine, but diald disconnects from my ISP as soon as I get connected. I have a feeling that this has to do with the diald options file, and possibly the pppd options file. Any tips? Mark Warburton solved his problems by turning off all the modem-related options in the ppp config file. Joonwoo Nam reported that adding 'connect-timeout' as an option solved his problem. He gave this /usr/sbin/ppp-up script: /usr/sbin/ppp-up #!/bin/sh /bin/setserial /dev/cua1 spd_hi /usr/sbin/diald /dev/cua1 -m ppp local 127.0.0.3 \ remote 127.0.0.2 \ defaultroute modem crtscts dynamic connect-timeout 180 \ connect '/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/chat-ppp' \ fifo /var/adm/diald.ctl Adding the following entry at the end of /etc/diald.conf also helped me out making the line keep up contiguously: restrict * * * * * up 3. Lacking knowledge of the XPM format, I need to know how to make transparent pixmap backgrounds (for icons). I can't get xpaint or pixmap to do this. Anyone know how?? (Perhaps klutsy, but practical answer:) Convert the xpm file to a .gif (perhaps using xv from the non-free distribution). Then use giftrans to make the gif file transparent. HTH, Susan Kleinmann
