ipop3d - best way to run it?
ive been running ipop3d for about a year inside inetd. and it gets a lot of connections, i want to minimize inetd's usage is there another (good/tested) thing out there i could use? i know of xinetd but the best of course for me at least seems to be being able to run a POP3 server stand alone. i dont use tcp_wrappers i favor ipfwadm above them, so ..any suggestions on how better to have ipop3d run ? it gets about..it seems to get about 5-8 connections a minute. i guess its not a lot but it looks like it is when im wathcin the logs :) any ideas would be appreciated!@ nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]--

Re: slink and potato
Hi, It appears that the the other directories are just symbolic links. In other words, opening "stable" is the same as opening "slink". When I first installed linux, I had to figure out all of this stuff, as I copied the entire slink CD to my hard drive under win95, and had to fix up all of these links manually!

All you need is just to install lilo. I have an IDE and a SCSI disk having NT and Linux; I put Linux on the SCSI disk and write lilo on the IDE disk. (When I did that I knew that it was pretty risky, but it worked fine.) If your lilo doesn't work properly, just use a floppy to boot.

Free space of about this size was traditionally reserved for root so that he/she could still log in to take corrective action even if the disk is full. In the days when 50MB was a big disk, saving a few percent for this requirement made sense. Applying these same old percentages - often 5% for most kinds of unix, 10% on hpux, reserves an excessive amount of space; often for no advantage. On /home and similar partitions it is my belief that zero percent need be reserved. On / and if it is a separate partiton /var, a few (<5) megabaytes reseved is plenty. This is all purely subjective.

Quoting the fine manual `info libc "Temporary Files"':
: *Note:* Because `mktemp' and `mkstemp' modify the template string,
:you _must not_ pass string constants to them. String constants are
:normally in read-only storage, so your program would crash when `mktemp' or
:`mkstemp' tried to modify the string.
> $ gcc -o test test.c
As a workaround, you can compile -fwritable-strings. The proper solution is
to ensure that *template is writable; there's bound to be a clean way to do
that but I don't have one handy (except via malloc and strcpy).

The trade-off is that it is less stable - hasn't been tested as thoroughly. Potato is almost ready for release. It all depends on what you're comfortable with. The months before and after a freeze can be pretty rocky, so I might recommend waiting until it goes beta at least (since you're new to debian).

external modem problem
I'm having a problem with an external US Robotics 56K Faxmodem. I'm running a Potato system with the 2.2.12 kernel on a Toshiba Tecra 700CT. I have never gotten the modem to work with Linux before, but I have used it with Windows. The problem is this: when I run Minicom (or anything else that requires the modem) the modem is unresponsive. The TR light -- Data Terminal Ready light -- gets lit up and the modem won't "talk" to the software. The same light also goes on when I run statserial to check the serial port. However, there is definitely some communication between the OS and the modem. When I exit Minicom or statserial the TR light goes off. Also, when I re-initialize the modem within Minicom the light temporarily goes off. Also, when I updated my ppp connection with pppconfig I told it to search for all available modems and it found the modem (which is attached to /dev/ttyS0); when it was searching, all the lights on the modem briefly flashed. I've checked the dip switches on the modem and they seem fine -- they are set to the factory default, which includes the DTR switch off (I've tested it with it on as well; no good). The serial port, /dev/ttyS0, also seems fine. I have support for the serial port loaded as a module and when I type lsmod it shows up. I don't think I have a getty running on the serial port (I checked /dev/ttyS0). The info from setserial seems fine and I don't think that I have any conflicts (from /proc/interrupts). I'm stumped and any help would be much appreciated, especially since I've managed to disable my PCMCIA modem (which may soon be the subject of another post). Thanks.
?complex args pass to other app w/o changing?
i want a wapper for make that do "make -j -l 10.00"-like things. so i need the wrapper (pretend as make) to pass args to it to the real make program. that is for a call: make CXXFLAGS="-O2 -do-strength-reduce" LD="-s" i want the wrapper (above "fake" make prog) to pass the CXXFLAGS=.. et al to the real make prog (say, make_real). but i cannot make a wrapper wrote in neither bash or perl do the trick. they only passed "CXXFLAGS=-O2 -no-trangth-reduce LD=-s" (no quotes) as seperate args as seperated by white space, w/ the double-quotes effect removed. can anyone enlighten me?

hda: irq timeout
Hello,
running kernel 2.2.12 on a new machine I found the following kernel
messages in the syslog file with decreasing time intervalls:
Oct 18 16:28:38 Winona kernel: ide0: reset: success
Oct 18 16:30:45 Winona kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }

the thing that bothers me is that the machine locks up for several

improve the situation.
Does anybody have ideas/ suggestions?

It only takes a few seconds > of waiting. I agree with Ctrl-Alt-Del being the simplest safe way, but there's one other thing you may need to check on certain comuters. Ctrl-Alt-Del by default performs a reboot, and usually you can just switch off after the Rebooting ... message. On some computers, however, the power switch won't work while the computer is executing its self-tests etc. In this case you can do one of three things, depending on circumstances. a) Set a power-on password, and turn off at the prompt.

Potato: dpkg errors??
Just yesterday I did the following potato upgrade: apt_0.3.13.deb gconv-modules_2.1.2-5.deb ldso_1.9.11-4.deb libc6-dev_2.1.2-5.deb libc6_2.1.2-5.deb libglib1.2_1.2.5-1.deb libstdc++2.10_2.95.2-0pre2.deb locales_2.1.2-5.deb Today, I upgrade the following from potato: libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1_2.91.66-2.deb libstdc++2.9_2.91.61-1.deb licq_0.61-1.deb qt1g_1.44-6.1.deb xlib6g_3.3.5-1.deb but the some packages (libstdc++2.9*) give me some errors while installing (dpkg -i ). I'm including a log of one `dpkg -i' errors (same errors for both packages). Is there anything v. wrong? TIA, -- Horacio Anno MMDCCLII ad Urbe condita [EMAIL PROTECTED] Valencia - ESPAÑA

The cron job: I think 2.2.x kernels no longer remove modules after one minute as the 2.0.x kernels did, but a cron job pops up and looks through /proc/modules to see what to remove. The error message: I've seen this one, but I can't remember exactly what it means. However, I got it when I was playing around with the sound modules. Most likely, I did a modprobe which partly failed but didn't roll back correctly (which I think it's meant to). Once I'd figured out the right modules to load, I didn't see it again. You can perhaps check if this is right by trying yourself to rmmod any module that has a zero usage count and no dependents. But IIRC I cleared the problem by rebooting to give me a clean kernel.

Select Help when configuring the kernel and selecting the modules. If you've installed these with a packaged kernel, you might want to prune /etc/modules. As for a table, you can read the file Documentation/Configure.help in any kernel source package (and perhaps kernel doc package) which is the file used by Help. With sound, there's no easy one-to-one lookup table that I know of.

When I started using linux, I sent/received all my emails via Pine running on W3.1 using IMAP on a Sun. I certainly wasn't going to trust my emails to a system I knew little of. One of my first experiences of Pine/linux (when Debian still distributed binary .debs) was massive corruption of mailfiles through what I can only suppose was file-locking failure.

Connecting BNC to 10/100BaseT segment...
Greetings from Winnipeg! Here's an outline of my situation: Currently we have a 10Base2 (BNC) network cable running through our building. We want to wire one computer lab with RJ45 cable and preferably install fast ethernet cards in each of the machines with time. So, for the meantime, we will have a mixed network of 10 and 100 BaseT machine hooked up to a 10/100 BaseT dual speed hub. The BNC cable in the rest of the buidling is to be replaced in a year or two and we would like to simply be able to keep the Hub when the renovations are done. What I am envisioning right now is a system that looks something like the diagram below: -->BNC--> eth0 of Debian GNU/Linux Box --> 100 Mb/s eth1 --> Dual Speed Hub --> Lan. The IP addresses for the machines on the LAN are to be assigned dynamically (DHCP) from somewhere down the BNC cable before the Linux box. Firewalling for security is not necessary or desired. I want every machine in the Lab to have unrestricted access to the outside network. My question is: How do I set up my Linux Box? Do I set it up as a Bridge or a router, firewall? Or is there another way of doing this? Something like a dedicated piece of hardware? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!! pgpCaBRID59iY.pgp Description: PGP signature
