qpop and netscape clients
Does any one know of problems using netscape mail clients with qpopper? Didn't see anything in bugtrack. The clients can read mail, but not send. Seems like netscape versions 4.5 & 4.7 (on my Ultra10s) don't do pop correctly, qpopper complains about "too few arguments to authenticate". I can use the same clients to work with other systems with pop servers, but not with qpopper on debian. Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

As good or better than that other brand. Install the xfstt package and borrow some true type fonts somewhere. Those from the other brand will work.

Programowanie za pomocą skryptów
Chciałbym przesłać do zaopiniowania programik,
który moim zdaniem świetnie pasowałby do Linux'a.
Jest on napisany w oparciu o bibl. curses i
służy do łatwej budowy menu wyboru w skryptach.
Nazywa się win3 i zwraca do shell'a wartość
będącą numerem wybranego przez użytkownika skryptu wiersza.
Odczytując status ostatnio wykonanej operacji
wiemy jakie pole w menu wybrał użytkownik i możemy
wykonać odpowiedni program (np. następne
podmenu). Pierwszym parametrem programu jest tytuł menu,
a następne parametry - to pola menu.
Wywołanie: win3 [ [] ... ]
Przykład: win3 "Zarządzanie systemem" "Liczba
użytkowników" "Liczba procesów" etc. etc.

Any contribution is welcome, however: The official language of debian-users list is English. If you want to send something in Polish, I'd rather suggest the usenet group: pl.comp.os.linux Additionally I'd rather suggest sending the sources as "tgz" or "gz" attachments to spare the bandwidth.

Re: SMB Printing
I had this problem too. I think it's because from the point of view of lprng the input filter outputs nothing. And that's true. You take all the data from the input, send it to the SMB printer, but after this you break the pipe by outputting nothing. Try just add echo "whatever" as a last line of the script. It can be anything, it'll go to /dev/null anyway. Maybe this helps. R.

Corrupt apt status and available lists
Hi! I have a woody system, and pretty unstable hardware. Yesterday I had a crash when running apt-get upgrade. Since then apt-get update wont work any more, complaining about the status file, and when I try to apt-get updata I get some problems with the available file. Any idea how to regenerate these files? /nisse

Most instructions expect the kernel source to be in /usr/src/linux, so that way is easier for newbies. If it's just a symlink then all you need to do to unpack a tarball is remove the symlink, unpack, rename the created directory to something else (like linux-2.2.15), and drop the symlink back in again. Things end up at their most consistent that way, I think. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: system clock workaround

What do I have > to change to accomplish this, or is there a better solution altogether? I had exactly the same problem with one of my machines. (AWARD-Bios, switched the year back to 1994 on every reboot since 2000, Unicore offered me an upgrade for about 50$, hell, that's more than the whole machine is worth! ;-). I also thought about a solution like the one you mentioned, until I found out that on potato hwclock there is an option --badyear. This tells hwclock that it has to manage a faulty BIOS-year-setting. It then will set it four years back (to be able to cope with leap years), but set system time on bootup correctly, so everything works fine. So, if you have potato installed, read the manpage of hwclock. If you have slink, you can either upgrade the whole system or try to get an upgrade for hwclock. Regards, Daniel
Re: 3Dfx X Server and drivers
Hi there, I can confirm that the 3dfx drivers work fine with Debian, both with 'Slink' running 2.0.36 and 2.2.14. I just grabbed the files from 3dfx's Linux site, converted them with alien and installed. You will probably need to manually install the actual driver as the dpkg install didn't install the driver in /dev. If I remember correctly I moved the driver to /dev and set up the symlink by hand. All then worked fine. Run 3dfx's test programs to check. If you look at the driver source in the directory you built the driver in all should be clear.

Re: [LUGALIST] smb.conf
Hi rob, 1)i have admin differend samba-server and my experience is: you don't need a public share, but you have to use the "brwseable=yes/no" in your shares or in the global section. 2)Don't care about the network environment ot NT. You are working with a M... Product. There is no way to force NT to show the shares.

Now I'm a little confused, because it is obviously different from the agp_backend, provided in the 2.2.14 kernel sources provided with RedHat 6.2. (available eg. at: ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/redhat/current/i386/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm ) AFAIK both potato and debian use the same xfree86-3.3.6. So what is the difference between the agp_backend and agpgart? Which one is better? Has anybody tested and compared both of them? It seems to me, that agp_backend (internally marked as AGPGART module version 0.99) is just the previous version of agpgart (internally marked as agpgart.c,v 1.1.2.2 1999/11/18 19:06:20)... -- Greetings Wojciech M.

Re: system clock workaround
Hello, I have a similar but yet another problem. The battery of the clock is old, and the clock is wrong if the power was off. It isn't a constant drift so "hwclock --adjust" wouldn't help. Because I am connected to a network, I have used netdate to get the correct time from the net. But I still don't know what to do if the connection fails (and sometimes it happens). The only solution is to set the time somewhere manually, but is there a way for this to be done earlier than logging in? I guess it would be better for different programs which act depending on the system time. (Maybe allowing someone to type in a date, if it is possible at all, is somehow insecure, but I am the only user at the console). Bye Guentcho

Using gnuserv (Re: bigots - was Emacs - was Mail/news software)
Here's why I use gnuserv all the time.
Say I in a shell in a directory called
/deb/potato/home/rhogee/deb/gri/CVS/gri/doc/cookbook
and I want to edit a file in Emacs. I could go in Emacs and type
C-x C-f and then type in (or cut/paste) the whole path. That's
arduous.
Instead, if I want to edit a file called Makefile, from the shell I type
$ e Makefile
and it magically pops up in Emacs.
How to set it up (in slink anyway):
Step 1) install the gnuserv package
Step 2) insert the following in your ~/emacs file :
(gnuserv-start)
Step 3) Optionally, create a short-cut alias name for `gnuclient -q`
by inserting the following in your shell startup file,
~/.tcshrc for me
alias e gnuclient -q
Step 4) start Emacs
Step 5) type from the shell:
$ e somefile
or
$ gnuclient -q somefile
Step 6) Oh wait... There's no step 6! :-)

scsi support for ide to enable cdrecord-ing
I have a frozen system working, with kernel 2.2.15 and lsmode shows: serial, sg, ide_scsi, ppp, slhc I have ATAPI CDROM DRIVE 36-X and HP CD-Writer +7200 both in the secondary IDE controller. When I try to run cdrecord, or xcdroast I get the message that I have to implement generic scsi support. Don't I have it already? What exactly do I have to configure in my module to have these two fellow CDROMS visible to the system? Thanks, Antonio.
Network Cards

Anyone having trouble upgrading Helix-Gnome?
For most of yesterday and today I have been trying to upgrade to the latest version of Helix-Gnome (based on Gnome 1.2). Following instruction exactly (the usual apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade with /etc/apt/sources.list pointing to Woody and spidermonkey.helix.com) the connection keeps timing out. I eventually downloaded gtk-themes_0.1-helix5_i386.deb after many stop starts, (it is over 16MB) only to find the message from apt-get "MD5Sum mismatch" and "E: Some files failed to download". Starting apt-get dist-upgrade again, the whole damned file starts downloading again. On a dial-up link this is beyond a joke Am I doing something wrong? -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000

ip masquerading on debian slink
hello i've got a LAN setup and would like a linux box on it to be a gateway. the LAN works fine but it is a class C network and i would like to enable ip masquerading on the linux box (debian slink). i'm having two problems: 1. debian distributions don't compile ip masquerading into the kernel, right? 2. kernel compile problems. problem 1: decoding an error message generated while trying to enable ip masquerading on kernel without ip masquerading enabled. error messages: # ipchains -F input ipchains: setsockopt failed: Protocol not available # ipchains -F ipchains: cannot open file '/proc/net/ip_fwnames' problem2: compiling the kernel. i configure the kernel the way the IP Masquerade howto suggests for 2.0.x kernels. the compilation almost completes and generates a command 'as86' which generates a command not found error. any suggestions? any help or references to relevant documentation would be appreciated. thanks, __ Brad Reid, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try the samba-book. It should be available from the samba-homepage
(www.samba.org ?). If not, look at www.ora.com: O'Reilly publishes
"Using Samba" under an "open publication license".
you can even download using something like
wget -r -L -I/catalog/samba http://www.oreilly.{yourcountry}/catalog/samba/

the latest release of gcc does not currently support the latest C++-standard
with regard to its implementation of the standard C++-library.

if you want to distribute programs, you probably don't want to use the new
features of libstdc++-v3, but instead the (portable) subset included
with gcc-2.95.2.
For the headers, you can create symlinks.

is /usr, so the headers are in /usr/include/g++-version)

There is currently no (complete) documentation of the GNU standard C++-library. Here is a free (but not GPL) C++-reference: http://www.dinkumware.com/refxcpp.html (this reference covers the latest standard, which is not what gcc-2.95.2 has). be aware that gcc 2.95.2 (the latest release) does not support the latest version of the standard c++-library (few compilers currently do, so you might not want to use the latest features). If you want a C++-library according to the latest standard, you need to install libstdc++-v3: http://sourceware.cygnus.com/libstdc++/ BTW: It would be good if someone would start a project for a GPL'd C++-library reference.

No, I've got the same problem - the helix servers reset the connection and the transfer rate is 7Kb/s tops (compared to 80Kb/s previously).

I've installed potato (kernel 2.2.15) on my thinkpad from the install floppies, but some things seem wrong.

Also, the man command is not found, as in: X:~# man hwclock > bash: man: command not found sorry to bother this list, but I'm lost and help seems elusive.

Re: befuddled
Hi, Because of size issues, lots of stuff is not included in the boot-floppies distribution. You need to install the following packages: man-db - not included in the base system manpages- general system man pages kernel-source-2.2.15- you'll need to unpack the resulting archive (in /usr/src) manually kernel-package - automates most of a kernel compile and gives you a kernel-image*.deb file when the bits settle gcc + - C compiler and the stuff it depends on libncurses5-dev - if you want to use "make menuconfig" Everything else you need should be picked up by the dependencies in the packages mentioned. - Bruce -- On Fri, 26 May 2000, Michael Skipper wrote: > I've installed potato (kernel 2.2.15) on > my thinkpad from the install floppies, but > some things seem wrong.

I manually downloaded the couple of files causing apt-get problems and put them into /var/cache/apt/archives and re-ran apt-get dist-upgrade. This time, it worked OK. Hope this helps. BTW the new version of Helix-Gnome has the panel applets in a package called 'gnome-applets' which the upgrade didn't install for me.

RE: mod_frontpage and original Debian Apache src
Thanks, but I the files that were patched in the Apache 1.3.3 (is used before) and this one (1.3.9) are the same and the patches also. The only thing that might be different is the mod_frontpage.c, but that's all. I don't want to re-build the Apache from the sources because I wnt to use the Debian modules like PHP and the Perl module.

Apache recompile with FP ext
Hi, I solved this by grabbing the settings of the modules and paths of the debian/rules file and recompiled apache. After doing that I added the PHP4 module again. Now everything works fine (apache+php4+mod_fp). That's it... ;-) Bye, Sven

For an ethernet configuration using bootp or dhcp, this info is supplied by the bootp/dhcp server and automatically set up by the bootp/dhcp client. For most ppp connections, pppd gets the information and sets up the networking, but sometimes this is configured statically in the pppd config files (pppconfig really helps here). There are other situations. To manupilate the routing table, look into the route command. To manipulate the ip address, broadcast address, netmask, and such, look into ipconfig. For pppd/dhcp/whatever if you use them, look into the docs for those programs.

Presuming that you can reach the net (which means configuring your NIC etc etc), you can then use the great tool 'dselect' to add all these other things to your system. dselect is kinda ugly graphically, but it extremely functional and handles all package dependencies. Getting to the net with a new install may be a bit of a challenge, though, depending on how you get there (via modem dialup, DSL, cable modem, etc). Good luck!

On slink it's /etc/init.d/network, which is set up nicely
IFF you identify and configure your network card during
installation. A fairly standard example is attached;
if you don't have one customise this one then place it
in /etc/init.d and run
# chmod a+rx /etc/init.d/network
# update-rc.d network start 40 S .

Authenticating SMTP Server
I would like to configure my SMTP server to relay mail for a few friends who dial up and are dynamically assigned IPs. I certainly don't want an open relay, but I don't know what other options I have with Debian. A web search reveals several authenticating schemes -- some password protected, one particularly elegant one accepting outgoing mail from any IP from which the user has successfully checked POP3 mail in the last several hours -- but they seem to be for commercial servers.
