Re: Making a DSL server
That would be great if I could just do DHCP ethernet. But I have visited people who had DSL connections in their homes, that required them to run some windows program to authenticate. My concern is that I won't have any control over the authentication required by the ISP. I expect that many different ISPs will be used. If the product is a success in the market, it will be installed in retail locations throughout the US and possibly in other countries as well. I don't want the installer to have to go through a lot of pain to set up the authentication. I also don't want my client to have to deal with the situation that the ISP refuses to provide a connection because the box is running a turnkey system and not windows. Finally, I can't have the client's installer hacking on text config files - I have to minimize manual configuration and provide a pleasant GUI interface to any configuration that can't be avoided. Does Linux handle DSL authentication? Can linux configure a DSL modem to handle authentication, without any use of Windows? Is there a way I can test this authentication with my office LAN?

(OT) Worst night ever. WAS Adding a ide drive to an all scsi computer
Dear all, Thank you for the advise on adding the ide drive to my computer. I could not get the ide drive to even recognize. After some monkey-ing around, I decided to pull all the drives out of my computer and add 5 brand new 36GB 10,000 RPM 80pin SCSI drives to my computer. I printed out the Software RAID How-to, ordered a pizza, bought 4 cans of Mountain Dew from the soda machine, and went to work... That was 2.5 hours ago. Now here I am writing to you. You see I could go home and tell my wife all that had happened but she would be half asleep and just stare blankly. Even awake she could not begin to sympathize with me, or even understand in the least what I am talking about. This is where you all come in. Tonight, you will unwillingly lend me a sympathetic ear. Now where was I? Oh yes, my new hard disks. About a month ago my boss decided to order 10-15 (I lost count) of these hard drives. He did not read the fine print and accidentally ordered 80pin hot swap drives. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade right? I happened to have 5 80 pin to 68/50 pin SCSI converters lying around in the back and used those to connect these hard disks to my back-plane-less computer. Geocentric (my beloved Debian box) is a IBM Z-Pro with a Xeon 1Ghz (I could add a second processor), 1.5GB of RAM, a dual head video card, etc; all housed in a 50,000lb case. Way too much for what I use it for, but nice none-the-less. I haven't turned this computer off in months. Stable as can be, even though I was running SID. Btw, thanks to all Debian project people out there, I am constantly amazed at how functional even the 'unstable' tree is! I think I'll get "Debian 4 Life" tattooed on me somewhere... Ok, I'm loosing focus. Geocentric has 6 or 7 slots that you can add drives to on these little rails that come with the case. It took about an hour to figure out how to insert all of those drives in such a way that they would all fit. But, I did it! I then had to somehow cable these together, with the one cable I had to daisy chain them all together. It was impossible. In a moment of "ah-ha" I carefully removed two of the pressed on connectors to the ribbon cables, and then just as carefully pressed them back on with the help of a vice and a micrometer. With my newly customized cable I went back to work. After some twisting to get the connectors oriented correctly with the SCA -> 68pin adapter, they all snapped in perfectly. I would like to take a moment to add out of the 5 converters I had, I had three different brands, mismatched throughout the chain. Finally getting the computer assembled I plugged it in... A smile on my face... A 1 INCH SPARK ARCED FROM ONE OF THE CONVERTERS... Then... My main board started to smoke. I unplugged my computer... Put it on a cart and wheeled it to the back room. I'm going to sleep now... tomorrows another day... Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As you will probably come accross providers that use USB modems which are not supported, or internal PCI modems.. Qwest for example used to sell an internal Intel PCI modem for DSL service(it was that or the external cisco when I ordered), which as far as I know was/is not compadible with linux(at least at the time). you may be better off just going with a dialup connection or ISDN. At least with dialup there are several large nation wide ISPs(and world wide) you can test with, I would expect them to use the same form of authentication throughout their POPs. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You > should see the traffic coming in, and then being forwarded on. Ok, I finally got a chance to try this. I can't really make heads or tails of the majority of this stuff, but as far as I can tell, each message that comes in on the public interface, gets forwarded to private interface and then the appropriate machine on the LAN. This is expected since gnutella DOES work, just not really the way that I want it to. :) The problem comes from the fact that gtk-gnutella still thinks that I'm behind a firewall. Actually, a great example of this NOT working is as follows: -A PREROUTING -d 12.159.251.11 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 6346 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.8:6346 as reported by iptables-save. I'm running gtk-gnutella right now on my computer, 192.168.0.8. My roommate is also running gtk-gnutella right now on his computer, 192.168.0.9. The above rule should send all traffic on 6346 to 192.168.0.8. Yet, doing "tcpdump -i any tcp port 6346" shows plenty of traffic headed for 192.168.0.9. Is there any way to track this down? Specifically, is there some way that I can trace a single packet from the time it comes in to my NAT box, as it passes through each of the filters, and is finally sent on to the appropriate box? Preferably something that could show me the outcome of each rule as it's encountered. Perhaps then I might be able to actually track down the source of the problem?

Well, I can't speak for others but I've been doing this for more than a
year now without any problem at all (that should give you some hope of
success `;-). The only thing you need is a BIOS that will allow you to
set the boot priority of SCSI higher than IDE. Of course you will need
to adjust lilo or grub and fstab too. I had some trouble with lilo before
I learned to use the bios option, but that might not be the case for you.
Just in case it is useful to you, here's a copy of the relevant part of
my /etc/lilo.conf:
# Overrides the default mapping between harddisk names and the BIOS'
# harddisk order. Use with caution.
disk=/dev/hde
bios=0x81
disk=/dev/sda
bios=0x80
# Specifies the boot device. This is where Lilo installs its boot
# block. It can be either a partition, or the raw device, in which
# case it installs in the MBR, and will overwrite the current MBR.
#
boot=/dev/sda
# Specifies the device that should be mounted as root. (`/')
#
root=/dev/sda5

Add something like this to your /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdax /win ntfs defaults,ro,user,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
Adjust the device, mountpoint and userid to your situation. This will
allow you to use that partition as a normal user. If you prefer to mount
it yourself add the noauto option.
Others will probably warn you against using it (that happens almost every
time someone mentions it) and they are right to let you know this isn't
a risk-free affair. On the other hand I have been using NTFS in read-only
mode for years now ('til recently on a daily basis) and have NEVER had
any trouble with it. So, don't let those warnings scare you off. Do heed
them however when it comes to using write-mode: I won't dare to without a
current and verified backup of that partition.

According to LinuxMall.com, Debian 3.0r0 allows the user to choose which kernel to install. Does this mean there is any chance my modem will work?

What does the xDSL provider provide and expect? - PPPoE, or a USB modem, or a modem that outputs "regular" ethernet? Since it's a business account, I *presume* that it will be straight ethernet, but I've been wrong before... - A single static IP address, multiple static IP addresses, or multiple dynamic IP addresses?

Yup.

Not safely. You can share user accounts, but system accounts will be
created and removed as you create and remove packages, and base-passwd
will rewrite global static accounts (0-99) whenever it's upgraded.
> I'm pretty sure I want to share /etc/X11/XF86Config{-4}.
Probably, yes.
I wouldn't explicitly share /etc (i.e. mount it on both systems), but
you might well want to copy files back and forward between them. My
approach would probably be to 'diff -Nru' the two directories after
installation and see what can be merged.

There's {gtk,gtk2}-engines-lighthouseblue in unstable, which may be of
use there.

[SOLVED]Re: Kernel - compile error
I was trying to compile a 2.4.18 kernel source that
comes with the cds of DEBIAN .. so, I wasn't get to
compile it without SMP support (since this can't be
enabled to insert some modules, like ptserial.o to
makes my HSPPCtel modem works..).
So, last night I got the 2.4.18 kernel source from
debian.org/packages, and I got compile it normally.
So the problem was the version of the 2.4.18 kernel
source.
I take a week trying to discover this problem ..
Thanks very much to all that spend some time help
me.

mutt compile????
Ok, I'm banging my head on this one. I'm trying to compile the latest version of mutt. When I start to send an email I put in the To: name which is an alias in ~/.aliases, put in my subject and hit enter. It hangs at this point. I have to kill -9 it from another terminal. I'm compiling it with ssl, imap, +fnctl, -flock (per the previous version that work) and I'm trying to enable dotlock. When I do a "mutt -v" on the old version it gives me a +USE_DOTLOCK but my compiled version is giving -USE_DOTLOCK which I'm reading as disabled. I've tried --enable-dotlock, --with-dotlock, --enable-external-dotlock and none of them make a difference. Thoughts? Robert :wq! --- Robert L.

pppoe and dsl on debian
help! I'm running debian stable (woody, 3.0R0) (from cd) and I have rp-pppoe 3.3 (from a debian package). I want to use the debian package, rather than installing software outside the apt-get system. However, debian has modified the rp-pppoe setup to suit itself. rp-pppoe comes with scripts such as adsl-start, adsl-setup that magically sets up stuff for you. Debian removed them and it does the setup and startup another way. I don't mind, but all the support channels seem to... My installation doesn't work, and I can't figure out how to make it work. My isp just says that if I don't have adsl-setup, then I "don't have a proper installation" so I don't think I'll be getting any help there (this is a different isp than the one I'm posting from now). I have a dsl modem, and it does synchronise with the telephone company (the ADSL light lights up solid green after a few seconds of being connected). When I run pon provider, I get the following in my logs: Jan 9 10:39:25 seal pppd[12966]: Connection terminated. Jan 9 10:39:55 seal pppd[12966]: Serial connection established.

Is it normal for the Service-Name to be null? I don't think it's normal for the Connect line to be pointing to pts/4. I think it's supposed to point to eth0. According to the docs, pppoe is supposed to default to using eth0. I have verified with the isp that my username and password are correct. While the connection is getting established, I can see that both pppd and pppoe are running, however the ifconfig never shows an ip address for eth0. Here's the output from ps fax while trying to connect: 13068 ?S 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd call provider 13069 ?S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -m 1452 So I see that pppoe is indeed being told to use eth0 as the network interface, I'm not even relying on the default. I've turned on pppoe debugging and looked at the packets, it never gets to the point where it tries to do authentication (at least, I never see a username/password packet(s)) Please don't tell me to upgrade my rp-pppoe, the latest package in debian is 3.3 and I want to use debian. Also, I've looked at the change-logs and it doesn't look like there is anything I need in 3.4 or 3.5. I can give lots more information, please let me know what info you want and I will send it (eg, ppp options file, debug dumps, interfaces file, etc). Thank in advance for any help.

You might consider setting up a chroot area for the non-booting distribution. This works both ways, in that Debian can host RH and the reverse. Depending upon things this works really well. I use it to create older executables bound to older libraries but compatible forward onto my newer system. Others do the reverse to test against unstable while still living on stable. A lot of variations are possible. See Colin's nice description on the subject. http://people.debian.org/~walters/chroot.html Using chroot is more subtle than the direct brute force method of dual booting. And we all know that brute force and ignorance will always triumph over intelligence and finesse. But it does allow you simultaneous use of both systems on the same hardware at the same time.

Order of identifying filesystems for "auto"
I haven't touched this the past couple of kernels, so it may have changed, but another thread reminded me of this problem. I deal with diskettees at times from a variety of operating systems, including MacOS, OS/2, and vfat. As such, I'd thought the sensible move would be to specify "auto" as the filesystem in /etc/fstab, and let it pick out what to use. Well, it works fine for Minix and MacOS, and FAT filesystems, but when it comes to vfat, well, it sees FAT first, and goes with it to the exclusion of its nominally more powerful counterpart. Is there a way, other than rewriting the code for mount, to have it look that little bit more to see if the freshly found FAT volume is aactually vfat, or have I been fortunate and that is already done and I should just try it again? -- Mark L.

Some older VIA chipsets had USB problems but your athlon is several years newer then the ones I encountered with issues(socket 7 era). I use a couple USB trackballs(Logitech).

Perhaps they take out the dependencies of the pci-scan stuff. everytime I've built one of his drivers into the kernel I copied the pci-scan.c and .h as well as a kern_compat.h(?) and the driver to the networking driver tree, edited the makefile to include pci-scan and build the driver directly into the kernel(I like static kernels out of habbit). nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Give xfce a try, it is one that no one has mentioned yet. It is not particularly small nor particularly focused like fluxbox/blackbox/icewm, but somehow I settled on it instead of the usual GNOME/KDE mess. xfwm, the core window manager, takes 1400K resident memory. The xfce panel (optional) takes another 3900K. Cheers! Shyamal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
