This is not true, normally it would list the ICMP type, but it seems didn't know what it was or something, because it picked the highest one (that's for example also what it does if it doesn't know the protocol: just look in /usr/share/doc/netbase/ipchains-HOWTO.txt.gz).
Help: Intel Pentium with F0 0F bug - workaround enabled
I have Debian 2.0 and Intel Pentium 100 and notice the following message when booting Debian: Intel Pentium with F0 0F bug - workaround enabled Does it means that I have a buggy chip? How to verify that and find more info?
E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
I am trying to use masquerading to upgrade debian on a laptop, via a local network. I have made /var/cache/apt/archives a soft link to a directory mounted using nfs. I have mounted it rw and have the no_root_squash option set, so there should be no problems I thought. But when I use apt-get dis-upgrade I get the error: E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (13 Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the download directory This makes no sense because I am able to read and write the lock file okay.

Hello, I've recently decided to get an apt-proxy for my two woodys behind a single 64k line... But since I'm not familiar with the sources.list format, I'm not shure about my apt-proxy.conf. The client always reports Connection failed on apt-get update :( Can someone mail me his apt-proxy.conf with both sources.list of the client and the server? I think I'll be able to figure it out myself then, but an explanation of how the mirroring-system works would also be appreciated :) Uuh, since I started writing this mail, 3 Debian-User Mails dropped in my inbox.

Re: coping with a high-volume mailing list (like this one)?
I won't say much more that has been said before (actually I wouldn't be able to say halfof the comments said, he). But, as an ex-Eudora Light user I'll tell you something that perhaps you'll appreciate a lot. When emptying the trash (200 messages per day, to say the least) the differences are the following: Eudora: the disk drive song (seven seconds on a PIII?) Mutt: a SNAP. Man man man. I still feel quite awkward with Mutt, but I think I'm starting a love affair with this program. On the other hand, I answer the questions I can. As a newbie, there are not much, so no trouble at this time. I delete more than 95% of messages. I keep only the interesting messages that I know they would be quite difficult to find using standard searching techniques. I use a lot search engines for this list. I go to http://geocrawler.com to do basic search about debian-user. If the thread is enough interesting to follow, I follow it copying year, month and day in http://lists.debian.org (The reason why I use geocrawler instead of the lists.debian search engine is because I'm too lazy to learn how it works :) Best, Ignasi _ Do You Yahoo!?

recommend a secure shell client for Windows
A friend of mine wants me to set up an account for him on our server, and since I do not allow telnet logins he needs a Windows SSH client. I checked around and there are quite a number of them out there, can anybody recommend which is the best? I do not have a Windows machine to test them out on, but I figured this must be a pretty common problem so somebody must have a good idea of which one is the best. Once he has attained proficiency on the command line I want him to be able to use X, so it would be nice if it is a client that supports port forwarding (of course at that point I will have to find a Windows X server for him, but that is a problem I'll deal with when it comes up, maybe by then he'll be willing to put Linux on one of his machines.) -- Harry Henry Gebel, ICQ# 76308382 West Dover Hundred, Delaware
Re: Apache Package (woody)
I've seen this myself (although I get line 481 mispelt using apacheconfig) when adding/installing jserv as a package from dselect. Because of this error, it leaves the package (jserv) in a state of not fully installed. Quite a few modules that were uncommented in httpd.conf get commented out therefore causing httpd.conf not to start. (That would be the problem your getting).

OK I have used apt-get install mysql-server, and it has installed it. It came back with an error saying :- starting Mysql database server: mysqld failed.

I'd been getting the "Warning: using shared memory" message from gpg since a system upgrade yesterday. Checking, I found that gpg was not set SUID. I've set the SUID bit, but am wondering why this changed. I can't find any notes about setting gnupg non-SUID in any of the obvious locations, or have I missed something?

Noah, unfortunatly I'm not able to follow your explaination because I have no precise imagination exactly how the link lowers the system security. I have had a look into .Xautority, but its a binary. Then the link someone suggested is uni-directional and not bi-directional. So if I would set the /root dir to drw- --- --- nobody would be able to see the link. After all, this autority file only seems to restrict X11 access and as a newbie I have absolutely no idea what might happen when setting the suggested link. The only thing which just pops up into my mind is the TCP traffic OS<->X11 which might be spoofed when lowering X11 root permissions. Was that what you wanted to say? But how can this happen when keeping only to a local mashine? Robert

Installing KDE2 from CD
I have a CD from Linux Emporium (in the UK), which says it is taken from the kde ftp site. It has a Debian folder with packages for potato/i386 binary in /cdrom/Debian/dists/potato/i386-binary However I don't think that this is a proper path. Should there be a main/non-free/contrib in there somewhere? Also it doesn't have a Packages file. When I do dpkg -i libqt-22_2 (something like that) it complains that it depends on libmng (Graphics?) However this is not in the folder. The libmng I can get from Debian ftp depends on a newer version of libc6 is it ok to use this? There is also a source folder which has source for a libmng package. Could I use this or does a package on the Debian CDs(1-3) provide it anyway? My main problem is getting dselect to find this directory. Is there a way I can do this manually? If not, is there an order that I should install the KDE packages manually? Thanks for any help (yes I am new to Debian. But I have been using Slackware for two and a half years so I do have quite good technical ability.) Richard Hunt _ Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com

Configure networking?
Hi folks, I got a new laptop hard drive yesterday so I'm reinstalling Debian 2.2. The install sequence didn't recognize my PCMCIA card, so networking didn't get configured. Long story short, I rebuilt the kernel and pcmcia and the card now works. That is, I can bring it up by hand using ifconfig. But things are still a bit underconfigured (there's no /etc/resolv.conf, etc.). What do I have to run to get Debian to redo the network config now that it can see the card? Thanks. --norm
Re: unzip
Hi, you can install unzip (and almost every other application you might need) with: # apt-get install unzip Under Linux it is more common to use 'tarballs' or bzip2. Tar is standardly installed and you could use it the following way: $ tar -cvzf homedir.tar.gz /home/myself this (c)reates a new file For unpacking: $ tar -xvzf homedir.tar.gz Winzip handles these file's well, so you can also send these to almost every windoze user.

You need the debian package cvs. There is also a cvs-doc package, but you might be ok with the online documentation at www.cvshome.org. After installing cvs, set the CVSROOT variable after the instructions from the repository owner (the avifile people). Then do a cvs login, with username and password also from the owner. You do the login only once, the password is saved in your .cvspass file. Then execute cvs get avifile or a similar command (info from the owner). This will produce a directory tree in your current directory. You do this also only once. Later you do cvs update as often as you like, and modified files will come down the line like magic. -- Johan Ur Riise 90 15 77 78

You can partition these drives how you like, but it makes sense to have equal sized partitions on the 3 drives. You combine 1 partition from each drive into an raid set. It dows not make sense to include two partitions from one device in a raid set. I have an empty machine right beside me here, with 4 x 30 Gig. I plan to divide each into 6 partitions with 5 Gig on each. Same size on each gives me som freedom to copy back and forth.In addition I will have a small partition of 20 MB or so for /boot. I make this on each drive too, just to make them equal. I plan to install the full system on a single 5 Gig first. Then I will set up a raid5 set on 4x5gig. On other partitions i might try striping or mirroring or both. If raid 5 works well, I will try to install the complete system on raid. The raid software must be availlable early in the boot process. Someone has done it, don't know how yet. I would not bother with swap partitions if you have 128MB or more on you machine. You can always add swap later. -- Johan Ur Riise 90 15 77 78
What's the Debian way to install LAMP?
hi. i have debian 2.2, kernel-2.2.17 with 128MB ram and 6GB hd (lots of
free space). wanting to install LAMP the debian way, i did the ff:
apt-get install apache mysql-server mysql-client
tested the installation by doing "lynx http://localhost/"; which shows
the usual gnu and penguin graphic. i still don't know how to test mysql
from apache though.
so afterwards i did an "apt-get install php4", added:
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so
in /etc/apache/httpd.conf and i also did add:
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4
in /etc/apache/srm.conf so that php4 will work with apache.
now the problem is my test2.php file won't connect to mysql database i
created manually. it gives an "the connection was refused when
attempting to contact localhost". i went thru the php3-doc (the only
available doc for the php4.deb package) and i can't get any more info on
why it won't connect. to be sure that the password is right i login to
mysql from the shell (mysql -u root -p) and i was able to connect/login.
what am i missing here? attached below is my test2.php

unzip - again
Hi, Using 'apt-get install zip' worked like a charm to install the zip package. However, using the 'unzip' variant, the following error occurred: "Package unzip has no available version, but exists in the database.

If this is like other setups, you may need to reconfigure Enlightenment to not use the right mouse button for gmc to see the click.

doh. sorry for the previous message i pasted an old one.
anyway, here's my problem:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in
/var/www/test2.php on line 15
this appears whenever i tried to open "http://localhost/test2.php";. i
installed LAMP using apt-get like so:
apt-get install apache-perl mysql-server mysql-client php4
php4 is working fine with apache as i've tested opening a test.php file
with "" as the only contents. it showed what is
expected. mysql on the other hand is only tested directly within mysql
when i created the sample database "books". what am i missing or do i
really have to use the source to make it work? i prefer using all .deb
package as that's how i update my kernel using kernel-package.

Any ideas? Go to the ftp mirror. Dig around for the unzip*.deb package in both the stable and unstable distributions. Download it. Load it manually with dpkg --install . It's quicker to do it this way than to have to change your sources.list entries to point to the new distro, update the list, install the package, and switch back to your original config. Don't worry about having an older or newer unzip package than your current distribition of Debian.

sendmail MD5 errors
I am running a current woody system, running imap, sendmail and MD5 passwords. Something has happened in the last week which is causing sendmail to post errors to the /var/log/auth.log every time I send a mail message. Nov 30 10:39:35 hecke sendmail[4482]: PLAIN: set secret for trs Nov 30 10:39:35 hecke sendmail[4482]: DIGEST-MD5: failed to set secret for trs: can't request info until later in exchange Nov 30 10:39:35 hecke sendmail[4482]: CRAM-MD5: set secret for trs As background, I use Netscape to read mail on the local machine, but treat the account as an IMAP account, with the local machine as both the incoming and outgoing SMTP server. Somewhere around last Friday, I could no longer send mail via Netscape because it was suddenly asking for a outgoing mail server username to go with the outgoing SMTP server. Netscape (4.75) has not upgraded since Sept 1, so other things are afoot. If I changed my outgoing SMTP server to another (potato) server, no username was required. At any rate, I gave it my username, and it seemed quite happy. By the way, both mail and IMP had no problems with the SMTP server. Moreover, Mozilla could process the outgoing mail without a username. I checked that sendmail has not updated since Nov 9, and libpam0g hasn't upgraded since late September, so I am somewhat at a loss as to the culprit. Every time I send a message, I generate the above complaints from sendmail. Perhaps the sendmail errors are a result of my having to enter an outgoing mail server username, but then the question is why did Netscape suddenly get fussy, especially since Mozilla is not? It is not a serious problem, except that it shows up in my hourly logcheck summaries. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks Tom -- Thomas R.

My Linux router for the LAN only rings once (on request)
Compaq Deskrpo 2000 - 32 MB - Eicon Diva PCI - Intel Ethernet 100 Pro Debian 2.2 - Ipchains - Isdnutils Installed packet = "Newbie help" In at test now wit dynamic ip. After the boot of both the linux router and a connected windows98-pc a start of Netscape on the windows98-pc causes a dial-on-demand to my isp. Ipchains -L -n shows an activated "chain" . After the idle time the connection is terminated and the "chain" is gone. Everything fine up till now. A new start of Netscape on the windows98-pc (!) now doesn't bring up the line on the linux router to the isp. I can ping the linux router from the windows98-pc, and reverse. If I then on the linux router itself bring up the line to the isp by for instance a ping, the windows98-pc can travel along to the internet. A reboot of the linux router gives the windows98-pc again exactly one possible activation of the dial-on-demand function on it. I have struggled for a week now and also taken another Compaq and thus a new install but same problem. Can anyone give me a hint This router is supposed to be our new Lan router (with static ip) to the internet.
