unwanted log-message from icmplogd

[Ralf Müller]

Hello,

in our very large network there is a misconfigured computer which is not
whithin my reach. Every computer in our institute gets
:
Jan 31 06:35:10 krispc9 icmplogd: destination unreachable from 
achpc2.chemie.uni-karlsruhe.de [129.13.108.161]

and

129.13.108.161 sent an invalid ICMP error to a broadcast.

this repeats every 0.5 seconds. So PLEASE how can I prevent our systems from
producing this message in particular?

Thank you very much

if you have a mac, a double-click will usually do the trick (hqx
is an encoded mac format that stuffit, for example, can unfold
in its sleep). stuffit expander is freely available for download
at aladdinsys.com .

from there, there's a converter that'll take a mac truetype file
and swizzle it into a windows-happy file (and vice versa). i'm
betting that linux probably knows more about windows ttf formats
than the duo-forked mac font files...

um, right -- the converter utility (mac platform) is called,
IIRC, ttconverter. downloadable all over the place -- try
shareware.com for example.

Are you using X 4 and does your monitor go into power saving mode?  I
noticed this very thing with DPMS in X 4.  However, it seemed to go away
with subsequent upgrades in Unstable.  If this is the case, you can try
this in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

modem under debian

[Renai]

Hi Debian users!

I have a quick question. I have a action-tec call waiting modem (diamond
voice). I am wondering if someone could point me to a how-to or something
that is relevant for getting the modem to work under Debian. The modem is
external and 56k.

And yes, I know about kppp, but I need to install the rest of the system
(ie X-windows) before I can get that running!

much thanks,

Renai

Stupid Question...keymappings?

[John Travis]

I recently helped a friend resurrect an old machine with Debian :-).  
There is one little thing that annoyed me, and will annoy him, the more 
he learns.  The keymappings that I am used to don't always seem to 
work.  For instance with a 'man man,' I couldn't use the vi(m) like 
keybindings for movement.  Return was the only way to scroll down, and 
backspace wouldn't even scroll up.  And if I did a search, it wouldn't 
highlight the results.  If I searched for anything it couldn't find it 
just dropped me back to the shell.  Certain things, like the backspace 
not scrolling up, happen in other apps like slrn.  I vaguely remember 
this when I first set up my box running Sid.  But very early on in my 
apting/configuring it "automagically" went away.  I have run into this 
again with my Progeny setup.  Other than these problems, the 
keymappings are working fine.  I'm just not sure which package, or 
config I need to play with 8^).  Any help or where I can RTFM greatly

After Vixie's letter under the ISC AEgis, I'm less than thrilled about
referring you to them, but they did write the reference software.

Basically DHCP is a way to get an IP/gateway/nameserver/_et al_ upon
bringing up the interface.  This is the successor to bootp/rarp.  The
debian packages relating to it are

client:

pump, dhcpcd, dhcp-client, etherconf, rrlogind, bpalogin

server:

dhcp, bootp

Associated programs:

dhcp-dns, dhcp-relay, autodns-dhcp

I think man uses 'more' if 'less' isn't available and hence you can't
scroll up, etc.

Okay, this is from icmplogd. If the messages annoy you, don't run

"start-icmplogger", or if you want to disable this message only, comment
in "no-icmp-unreachable".

This one is from the Linux(TM) Kernel. To deactivate it, do

'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses'

on the command-line, or for automatically doing that on startup, create a
file /etc/rc.boot/local, make it executable, and fill it with:

#!/bin/sh
ICMP_ERROR=/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses
if test -e $ICMP_ERROR; then
echo '1' > $ICMP_ERROR

Wow, that is often. I'm receiving this once every three minutes in our
network (which is also large, BTW), it is caused by rwhod-packets. You could
of course try to find out which service sends out the packets that are
illegally responded to and deactivate it if you do not need it.

 This is really not necessary as one can set
 hooks in mutt, but shouldn't this at least be:
 debian-user@lists.debian.org ?

Write in the .procmailrc (this assumes that you make a directory called
Mail in your home directory):

   MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
   DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
   LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from

   :0
   * ^X-Loop: debian-user@lists.debian.org
   Debian-User


You can then add rules if you want to seperate other lists as well.

One tip. If you get a lot of spam, then this rule is quite effective if
put at the end of the .procmailrc file:

   :0
   * [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   Junk

All mail that is not addresed to you will thus go to the Junk folder.
Note that if you subscribe to a new mailinglist, these mails will end up
here until you make a rule for this mailinglist.

To the end of your .muttrc file add:

   source ~/.mutt.personal


Then make a file called .mutt.personal where you put:

   mailboxes +mbox
   mailboxes +Debian-User


Now when you get a new mail in Debian-User you will get notified and you
jump to this folder by pressing c and Enter.

Hope it helps

LOL.  THWACKKK! (sound of hand hitting forhead).  I just assumed 
that it got pulled in somewhere along the line (nor had I even thought

As I understand it, I think the 'exim oddity' only works if exim is the
first to see your mail (ie you have your own domain).  In your case, gmx
would have been the first to see your mail, and was most likely what
changed it.

Run pppconfig as root and then use pon to start a connection, poff to end
it, and plog to monitor it.  You should have been offered an opportunity to
run pppconfig during the install.

Quick answer: just like deleting a message.

I.e. when reading the message, press v to see the attachments.
Move the cursor to the attachment you aren't interested in.
Press d to delete it.

First off this is your third post regarding this subject.  One is
sufficient.  Use the "vanilla" kernel.  I don't remember if USB can be
selected as a module to add to the kernel or not during the install.
Look for it.  If it isn't there you will have to compile your kernel.  I
know 2.2.18pre21 has USB support.  Install the kernel-package to compile
your kernel the debian way.  Read -
http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-kernel.html

No. You're running a system where the portmapper is contained in
another package which you probably don't want to remove.
That's why I wrote (see above)

up to potato: /etc/init.d/portmap stop
and then rename the file to, say, portmap-hidden.

In other words, if there's no package to remove, then stop the service
(first line) and prevent it from being started again by renaming the
file which starts it, so that the system can no longer find the file
containing the instructions on how to start it.

setting language

Since then, many programs (bash, mutt, all GTK Apps) cannot display special

2.2r2 includes kernel version 2.2.18pre21, which supports USB.  However, as USB
support is not compiled into the stock kernel, you'll have to recompile the
kernel to include it.

vfat file name gotcha

I just got caught by a vfat property that I wasn't aware of.  I know
about not supporting certain file properties.  I was not aware that
you can't have 2 files of the same name except for upper/lower case
differences.  An example...

cp MYFILE.txt myfile.txt /zip/

will result in only myfile.txt on the zip drive cartridge.

Printer Problem

[Thomas H. George,,,610-444-2626]

My printer was working perfectly.  I rebuilt the kernel allowing 
autoprobe.  Printer no longer responds even to


  cat lptest > /dev/lp0  where lptest is a small text file

and

  lp lptest

responds normally but nothing is printed and nothing is in the print que.

  cat /proc/ioports  shows the correct value (0378-037f) for 
parport0


  cat /proc/parport/0/irq  reports none (should be irq 7 but is 
this needed?)


Documentation/parport indicates that a lilo command parport=0x378,7 
should work but /sbin/lilo rejects this line placed anywhere in 
lilo.conf.  The documentation also implies that the irq value reported 
by cat/proc/parport/0/irq can be changed but I don't understand how.


It seems to me that everything is working normally but the printer is 
not receiving the transmission.  The printcap file is unaltered and lp 
is directed to lp0.


Where is the missing link?

Netscape 6 Encryption Problem

[Thomas H. George,,,610-444-2626]

I downloaded and installed Netscape 6.  It works normally except when a

window but all of Xwindows.  I can recover only by returning to the

I tried sending an email to Netscape support but this was automatically 
encrypted.


Any suggestions?

I recently upgraded my system from 2.2 (kernel 2.2.17) to 2.2.r2. Does
this implies that the kernel was 
upgraded to 2.2.18?

font package nightmare

[Glenn Becker]

All,

I suppose I should've known better, but I attempted to fully upgrade to
woody last night. One of the problems I had had before the birth of
'testing' has recurred: there are four Chinese font packages

xfonts-arphic-bkai00mp 2.11.3
xfonts-arphic-gkai00mp 2.11.3
xfonts-arphic-bsmi00lp 2.11.3
xfonts-arphic-gbsn00lp 2.11.3

that get downloaded when I upgrade. *WITHOUT FAIL* they fail to configure,
producing dpkg errors such as the ones appended below. I only today filed
bug reports on them, which is only due to my own laziness.

The worst thing is I can't seem to GET RID OF THEM. No matter what I
attempt to do -- I delete them from /var/cache/apt/archives, I try to
compile other packages -- these g.d. font packages re-download, fail, and
hang around FOREVER.

I know that they are required for the task-chinese-t and task-chinese-s
meta-packages, but apart from that ... is there ANY WAY to
'backwards-check' dependency and get a list of packages on my box that
depend on these? That way I could just get rid of everything that needs
them.

I really would like to use my computer for Chinese language work, but this
has me at an impasse.

Thanks,

Glenn

Toshiba Satellite Pro XCDT490

[Jim Nutt]

Well, after a couple of weeks of fiddling and experimenting on the
trains going to and from work, I now have my laptop working with a
2.4.0 kernel (with reiserfs patches), reiserfs root, devfs, usb and
Debian/Unstable. I've finally gotten the kernel sound drivers to work
and now I'm ready for my next 2 projects.

The first is the built in modem, which alas, appears to be a lucent
winmodem. I've got the various drivers that are out there, but they
don't seem to see the modem (which I know is there). Has anyone else
had experience with this particular laptop in this respect?

The second project is the docking station, I got a really, really good
deal on it (US $20!) and would like to use the two pcmcia card slots
in it for my wired network cards. It works under windows, so I know
the slots are good. The pcmcia card manager does apparently see all
four slots when docked, it just won't recognize a card plugged into a
docking station slot. Again, if anybody has experience with this let
me know?

I have all the toshiba utilities and they are working (I actually get
almost an hour more battery out linux than windows!). Now I'm
wondering if any of my fellow debian users have made these final two
things work. And of course, if anybody has questions about how I got
the rest of the stuff to work, I'm happy to answer them!

X madness/Voodoo or Rage 128?

[Glenn Becker]

All,

Since upgrading to woody last night, I've had confusing X problems. I run
xf86config, choosing all the options I did for my potato box. When I run
startx, Enlightenment pops up (it used to default to AfterStep
...?) ... the cursor seems ok at first, but soon shudders, wacks out of
control, then freezes. I can't get to any other window manager.

History: I swapped out the ATI Rage 128 video card that came with the
system (Dell Dimension XPS T700r) when I began with Slackware some time
ago, because I couldn't get a satisfactory X display at all. I replaced
it with a Voodoo 3 2000 card because I heard that support for the Voodoo
cards was really good. The Voodoo worked swell with stable.

I am wondering if the support situation has reversed now.

Also, I recall a time before the advent of 'testing' when there was a
package called dexter. One of the times I tried upgrading to woody, I got
(unfortunately temporary) great results with dexter. 

So, my questions are:

1) is support for ATI Rage 128 now *better* than support for Voodoo cards?
2) what happened to dexter?
3) where do I start troubleshooting this, otherwise; specifically
4) what's the best way to capture error output from a frozen/crummy X
display?

I guess that covers it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thx,

Glenn

.procmailrc multiple actions

[Sven Burgener]

Is it possible to specify multiple "action" lines for any given 
procmail rule?

Like, say I want to achieve the following requirements:

o  rewrite the To: header field such that it will appear as what
   I rewrite it at the recepient.

o  do the same (or insert) a CC: header field.

o  then send it off to whoever's in the To: / CC: fields I just 
   rewrote.

I have this, which doesn't do the job, though:

--8<--
:0
* ^From: Mail Delivery Subsystem
| (formail -I "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]") |\
  (formail -I "CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]") | $SENDMAIL -t

:0
! [EMAIL PROTECTED]
--8<--

I suppose I need to rewrite Envelope headers, correct? How'd I go 
about doing that?

TIA

Looks great. I currently have about a hundred lines in .procmailrc for
stuff like that.

But tell me, what happens if I send you mail with
"X-Mailing-List: ../@lists.debian.org"
in its headers? I honestly don't know what will happen...

Something like this used to happen years ago after a serious error
had occurred IIRC. I think it was just that the logging level for
the console got changed. Putting in a removable disk would print
the disk-changed line on the VC as I remember, for example.

man 2 syslog gives some explanation. I would guess that the values
in /proc/sys/kernel/printk may have something to do with it. My
values there are 6 4 1 7.

If they're correct, then maybe there is a problem with syslog-ng.

The first recipy is a delivering one. This means that if the first
pattern matches, the mail won't get to the second.

If you want to have both actions taken, you must specify the "c" flag on
the first one (":0c" instead of ":0").

Furthermore, your first recipy will almost certainly create mail-loops:
If [EMAIL PROTECTED] cannot be delivered to, the mail will be bounced to
the account that did the above procmail-filtering, in turn being
forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You should therefore specify "-f '<>'" on
the sendmail-command-line to create a zero-return-address.

Another problem exists in the recipy. Strange things, that you will not
understand at first glance will happen, if the rewritten Mail contains
any Resent-(To|Cc|Bcc):-Headers. They take precedence over the
(To|Cc):-headers you are inserting.

Why do you want those headers to appear in the message?

Exactly what you would expect. There's no rocket science here.

If you add that header, and put in a spurious References: or copy
the Subject: from a debian-user posting on some boring (to me) topic,
you can send me an email that I'm unlikely ever to read because of
where my mutt threads it...

  not sure how it compares but voodoo support is fairly good (well, I
don't have any problems), make sure you are really running new X 4.x
server, if you just upgrade the server is NOT upgraded, you have to
explicitly install xserver-xfree86, check where X points to (it's a
link), try ls -l `which X`

  csh: X >& X.err
  sh:  X 2> X.err

  just run straight X (you might need to be root to do it) so that all
the other stuff (WM etc.) is not loaded, it's a lot faster and easier to
troubleshoot.

  also, if you have mouse related problems you might want to turn off
gpm if you use it (then man gpm and search for gpmdata)

  btw I did not have any mouse problems running both gpm and X while
using X 3.X but X 4.x seems not to be happy with gpm, not sure if that's
generally valid though

Re: Truetype fonts

[David B . Harris]

To quote Rob VanFleet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
# Since XFree86 4 has been moved into testing, I figured that I can do
# away with xfstt since the new xfs supposedly supports truetype fonts.

I'd like to warn you that there are two 'ttmkfdir' programs around that
people mix up; 'ttmkfdir', and 'mkttfdir'. One is good, the other isn't
quite so good.

A while ago in #debian on irc.openprojects.net, there was a debate about
which was better. I got the tarball of the one I used and sent it around
to people and had them run in. For the six people that did it, there was
a 150-230% gain in the number of fonts and font encodings that were
recognized. The one which recognized the most encodings was 'ttmkfdir'.

A search for "ttmkfdir" on Freshmeat immediately turned up what I was
looking for, and a tarball with a prebuilt, statically linked binary is
at:

http://freshmeat.net/redir/ttmkfdir/10789/url_tgz/ttmkfdir.tar.gz

So, there you go :) Have fun. Keep in mind that you need to have the
"freetype" module loaded from /etc/X11/XF86Config, and your font paths
need to point to the right places.

... that wasn't my question.

It is not my intention to apply both the formail'ing and the '!'
forwarding to one particular email.

Thanks for the info about this issue. I'll take that into account.

I merely want the mail to appear to be destined to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
instead of the user on the system that has the above .procmailrc file
and that receives this email in the first place.

Additionally, I want to add a CC: to the message on-the-fly, overwriting
an existing one, if there.

I must apologise, the above code *does* work. My test scenario / test
setup was misleading me.  /me blushes

Thank you for your time and insight, though.

problem with print server

[Philipp Bliedung]

Hi,

I have a problem - I don't know how to get two printers to work with the
print server.  The print server is a Sercomm Fast PrintMate and the two
printers are a brother HL-10V and a HP Business Inkjet 2250 PS.

I got the print server working so far - I can ping, telnet and ftp to
it, and it also shows the two printers (brother on Port1 and the HP on
Port2 - Port3 is still free) which are on-line. Now my problem starts -
how can I get something to be printed??

Before I had only one printer (the brother) connected to the server and
I printed from there. Now, how do I set up lpd for the print server?
What do I have to change in /etc/printcap - if any?

Can anybody point me to a site about setting up print servers?

Thanks a lot!!!
Philipp

Now Stormix is no more . . .

[Phillip Deackes]

With the recently reported demise of Stormix Technologies, creators of the
*excellent* Storm Linux, is anyone at Debian looking to taking over any of the
apps they developed? I am thinking particularly of the superb installation
routine; SAS, the GUI administration modules and Storm Package Manager, the
front-end to apt. Storm Package Manager is available in Debian Unstable (+
Testing?) already.

Has anyone here tried Libranet? from what I have read it is a very nice
distribution, also based on Debian, but I am not keen on the fact there is no
downloadable version and there appears to be no Libranet site usable with
apt-get - it certatainly looks like there is no apt-get upgrade path apart from
using Debian sources. If this is the case there doesn't seem to be much point
buying Libranet instead of Debian.

Voodoo Banshee ANYBODY?

[Lazar Fleysher]

Could someone please help me to install and configure Voodoo Banshee video

Thanks for the suggestion.  I had not learned about
dmesg.  Unfortunately it reported everything in order - i.e. parport0 using

Well... that would be great if I was looking for mkttfdir, but if you
would kindly reread my post you would notice that I was looking for
*ttmkfdir* (which has been located BTW).

Managing many Debian machines

[Daniel Whelan]

Greetings - I am currently looking for a solution to managing and maintaining a 
large number of Debian machines. While I absolutely love apt-get, manually 
apt-getting a hundred machines to upgrade one piece of software is suboptimal. 
Is there any way to automate this process? One solution that has been suggested 
is to NFS mount some of the software off a server - my issue with this is that 
it would hose the package management somewhat. Does anyone have any experience 
with this?

Modem noise

[Henrik Enberg]

Hi,

I've just switched to Debian 2.2r2 from Redhat and things are going
smoothly.  One thing bothers me though, my modem has a real noisy
speaker buildt in and I don't know how to shut it up.  The Redhat wvdial
setup had a little checkbox to turn off sound, and I never did look at
the scripts to see what it did. Can anyone Help?

I don't use procmail[1], so I don't know, but if it does rule 
processing in order, and exits after a match is found, you could just 
have a rule which catches all mail on which you're not in the To line 
(you need to have all your mailing lists rules first so that such 
mails, which have a similar construct, aren't binned my mistake). 
Very little spam will be directed to you directly, you'll be bcc'd on 
it, most likely.

[1] Little point at present, as I don't get any spam...

Are you sure this won't catch emails from IP addresses which aren't 
in dotted quad format? Like I say, I don't use procmail (and my reg-
ex is a bit rusty!)

having no experience in this whatsoever, i feel fully qualified
to render my opinion:

have one test box where you
apt-get install gizmo
and when you're satisfied with the working order,
apt-move
to put it in your 'broadcastable' area, which could
be nfs or http or ftp from your local intranet.

then have your other internal net boxes point
/etc/apt/sources.list
to your one test box as their repository, and for
all of them, it should be safe to do
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
via cron, since they only point to your tested
server repository.

did i mention this is based on conjecture?

What are you using to configure X?
Does the console flicker only after you have started X, or straight from
