initscripts
Still no responses to my apm question ( http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200307/msg03355.html ), so I've started investigating a bit, to see if I can figure this out for myself. I have found the following page that describes, amoung other things, the initscripts that are run when changing runlevels: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html and I think I am in the right area. Trouble is, this seems to be more aimed at package maintainers, so that packages that add initscripts do so in "the right way" for debian. Still, what I have come up with is the following: 1) I need to write a script that when it receives the argument "stop" will do a "modprobe apm power_off=1". 2) The script needs to live in /etc/rc0.d, or somewhere else but be symlinked there. 3) The script needs to be called Sxxloadapm, where xx is a suitably high number so that gdm has already been stopped (I chose this, as in rc0.d, "S" scripts are still run after "K" ones, but with the parameter "stop", so it seems safer). I'm afraid that's as good as I can do by myself, so would anyone be so kind as to do the final polishing for me (that includes suggestions as to the script itself - I've never written one of these before, and I find the existing ones hard to follow). I would also like to make sure that this is done in the nicest way, i.e. not too hacky. The whole thing is a bit of a hack, I know, but I can't see any other way to make this work.

Help needed tracking possible hardware related crash
I don't have any hopes a quick solution but would appreciate tips on how to track down the problem described below. I suspect it is a hardware problem but I don't seem to find any logs telling me what is going on at the crash moment. The symptoms are: 1. About once per week all networking services but ping stop working requiring us to ask our ISP for a reboot. 2. The Java Virtual Machine (Sun 1.4.2) we use crashes while doing a networking operation in native code. This would be a bug in the JVM but we don't have this problem on other Linux systems. Another strange thing is that the process becomes defunct in such a way that sometimes not even root using -9 option can kill it.

Thoughts about my mail setup
Hi everybody. Yesterday, I tried to read mail from my IMAP account via modem. This was horribly slw. So I thought about my mail setup again. I know that I could store my IMAP mails locally (fetch them once only) with "offlineimap". At the moment I am using kmail for my three mail-accounts: Two POP3-accounts on gmx.de and one IMAP account on web.de. I have read the man page of "offlineimap" and saw the remark that it does not work together with kmail, but it can be used together with a locally running imap server (courier). So, what do you think about such a setup: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> fetched by kmail, sent through smtp.gmx.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> fetched by kmail, sent through smtp.gmx.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> fetched by offlineimap -> fetched from local imap by kmail, sent to local imap folder, synchronized by offlineimap Does this make sense?

Very annoying. For future reference, the easiest way to check for whether ECN is causing it is to use "tcptraceroute". Just use tcptraceroute , then try tcptraceroute -E . The second call with the -E switches on ECN. if the first gets to the destination, and the second doesn't, it's an ECN problem. You can either remove ECN support from the kernel, or: check the file: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn If ECN is on, the file will contain a 1. Simply edit the file and change the 1 to a 0.

Identify dhcp client to server using hostname
I am trying to allocate ip-addresses on my local network using
dhcp3-server. I want a couple of systems to have a fixed address,
while other system should get any ip that is still available.
I have created a range of dynamic ip-numbers and have tried to find
a way to identify those hosts that need a fixed address using host
statements.
When I add a "hardware ethernet HWADDR"-statement to a host
definition, everything works as expected. However I don't want to
use MAC-addresses, since sometimes I boot a live-cd or another
operating system in which case I'd like to use an ip from the
dynamic range.
I have tried changing the "send host-name" option in dhclient.conf,
but this seems to get happily ignored.
These are the relevant parts from dhcpd.conf on the server:
--
option domain-name "mydomain.net";
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.138;

apache-ssl or libapache-mod-ssl?
hi list, i'm running a webserver for a client who wants to add an online payment system to his webshop so i have to deploy a ssl-enabled webserver on the same machine. the question is now if i would upgrade the already running apache with mod-ssl or rather install an independent ssl-enabled apache. i would feel slightliy better with the two-independent-packages approach but i could be missing something. could anyone experienced with this tell me about some pros and cons i might have forgot to consider? thanks in advance. alexander -- Alexander Meyer Key ID: FA4FC80C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I had, in fact meanwhile found the Net-HOWTO, and am trying to use its guidance. It tells me that, for Debian, I need to put the Interface Config/Routing commands in /etc/init.d/network and the Server Initialization in /etc/rc2.d/*. It does not tell me what to write in those locations. I have tried starting the network manually thus: # ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up but I get error messages: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device which suggests there is not much point in continuing with trying to write the configuration files from scratch. However, inserting the card shows immediately: cs: cb_alloc(bus 7): vendor 0x10ec, device 0x8139 so I suppose the device is identified, and lsmod shows (inter alia): ds 6624 2 i82365 22416 2 pcmcia_core 41408 0 [ds i82365] which may or may not be what it should say, but at least these are the modules I am told to expect. I now do not know how to proceed. Perhaps it is not possible to connect this laptop to the LAN for some reason that I know nothing of. Perhaps I need to install the Debian base system differently. Perhaps I need to configure something that is already installed. I don't even understand how to identify where the problem lies.

No, the problem is that Dan has outdated CD-ROM sources in his APT configuration (sources.list). AFAICT, aptitude lists any installed package that it cannot find a download source for in the "obsolete/local" section. If a package is in a local repository or on CD-ROM, aptitude won't notice that the package is no longer supported by Debian. That's the same trap apt-cache fell in. Dan seems to want a technical solution, i.e. a change in the APT software. I don't think this would be justified. Keeping the /etc/apt/sources.list in a reasonable state is something that Debian can't help the admin with. -- Best Regards, | Hi! I'm a .signature virus.

Switching stable kernels dhcp confusion
I obtained debian through the idepci distribution. After a "devlopers" installation, kernel version 2.2.0 was up and running. I then downloaded the source for version 2.4.18 and, then, configured and compiled this version. Both versions boot up just fine. I'm looking to work within the most recent stable version - at least until I have the kernel the way I want it. I used the idepci disketts to download my installation through an ethernet connection to the internet that uses DHCP. And here are my questions: The 2.2.20-idepci kernel image connects sets up routing tables just fine even though dhcp doesn't seem to be installed. How is that?l The 2.4.18 image that I compiled doesn't set up routing tables even though would seem to be running with the same configuration files Why is that? Could I have neglected a configuration option I needed? How do I look for that option?

After > manually rmmod-ing them, my mouse unfroze and all was happy. Bizarre. The funky little modules are due to the IDE rework that was merged into 2.4.21. The advantage is much better IDE support, but a side effect is that the IDE code got broken up into a ton of chipset specific modules. I think the Debian kernel maintainer just loads all of them for backwards compatibility purposes, since before they were all "loaded" in the monolithic IDE driver anyway. > My recurring problem is that all of the modules that I rmmod-ed re-appear > upon a reboot.

I asked very much the same question a few weeks ago, and ended up going with the two-independent-servers approach because somebody on this list indicated it was simpler to set up. I have no experience with mod-ssl whatsoever, but I *did* find that adding an independent apache-ssl server worked pretty nearly "straight out of the box". I guess the main drawback of this method would be increased resource overhead.

I'll try setting up Kerberos first before doing anything else. In any case, there is another, hopefully bite-sized task which has been on my todo list for awhile. This is, to enable integrated afs token fetching and login onto my Linux machines. My users don't like typing klog, and they can't remember it... :-) I took a look at the Openafs quick start Unix guide and it says the following. *** Place the AFS entry below any entries that impose conditions under which you want the service to fail for a user who does not meet the entry's requirements. Mark these entries required. Place the AFS entry above any entries that need to execute only if AFS authentication fails. Insert the following AFS entry if using the Red Hat distribution: auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_afs.so try_first_pass ignore_root * The /etc/pam.d/login file for my test machine (Debian) follows. This is pretty much the default file; I've hardly modified it at all. I am not sure where exactly to place this line. I get the general idea but am afraid that if I put it in the wrong place I will not be able to log in. It would be extremely nice if someone using openafs Debian would tell me what line(s) they are using and where they put it. Then I too could use it with confidence that it will work. I hope it will not involve rearranging the entries, though. I basically want the login to behave as follows (if possible). If it cannot contact the afs server it should still log me into the local machine without a long delay (a few seconds should be Ok). Otherwise I want everything to behave as normal. The fetching token behaviour should be like klog. The Debian package I'm using is libpam-openafs-kaserver, which I think it the correct one. At any rate, it contains the file /lib/security/pam_afs.so. Thanks in advance.

Kernel 2.2 and 2.4: boot differences?
I have version 2.2.20 (idepci downloaded) running OK (at runlevel 2).
I have version 2.4.18 (compiled myself under 2.2.20) running sort-of OK
(again runlevel 2).
One difference is that my self-configured/compiled version isn't establishing a
network connection. Here are my thoughts as to why --
my thinking isn't good enough yet:
Something is different about the way these are booting up. Since
I see no error messages in /var/log/dmesg (or nothing I recognized as
an error message) and since the same /etc configuration files are
being used, I'm thinking the difference must come from tests of things
in the /proc system. So grep for "/proc" within the files found in
/etc/*.conf
/etc/init.d/*
The list appears below. Am I correct that my problem is probably
findable by considering this list? The only thing that jumps to
my eyes in it are the entries for the nfs ― I didn't compile support

I use dd to copy entire drives and partitions (it's my backup scheme). Since it works at both the /dev/hda and /dev/hdaX levels, I think it might. If there's a lot of angst about trying it, you might do this experiment: dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=512 It won't prove the whole thing will work, but if it emits errors, it might prove it won't before you go on to try it. I do it this way: date; dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=512; date 'cause I'm interested in how long it takes... If you've got the new single drive, you could just try it. The worst likely is you'd need to re-do the new drive. I assume the new drive is big enough? I'd like to know the outcome if you'd post it to the group.

limiting download speed
Hello. My home computer (running Debian sid, kernel 2.4) is connected to a LAN and runs Apache to serve web pages and files to other computers in the LAN. Recently admins of the LAN told me to limit total download speed from my computer over http. Than means, if one person is downloading from my computer, he should get at most N kbps, but if e.g. 3 people are downloading from my computer, each one should get at most N/3 kbps. What is the correct way to do that? Although I am a unix admin, I have never solved this before. Seems that I need to configure iproute? Or there is a better way? I want to limit only outgoing HTTP traffic; if at the same time I am uploading a file to some other computer, there should be no local speed limit. Could someone please help me to do what LAN admins want, or point to appropriate documentation? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Can't Keep Kernel Log Messages From Console
I've been trying to stop kernel log messages (generally from iptables)
from going to the console, and thus making the console unusable for login.
I've tried different things, but they just keep popping up.
I have "iptables" lines like:
iptables -A WATCH -m limit -j LOG --log-level warn --log-prefix ACCEPT-
and those message always appear on the console -- nothing else; just these
messages. I've attached the "syslog.conf" file for more information. Any
help is appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Kernel 2.2 and 2.4: boot differences?
Thanks, I had already seen in dmesg and ifconfig that the ethernet was configured. There is a difference that I had not thought consequential: with 2.2.20 I get eth0: Accton EN1217/EN2242 (ADMtek Comet) rev 17 at 0xc6022000, 00:D0:59:24:04:C0, IRQ 11. eth0: MII transceiver #1 config 3000 status 786d advertising 01e1. whereas with 2.4.18 I get eth0: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at 0x1c00, 00:D0:59:24:04:C0, IRQ 11. Either way ifconfig says I have eth0 configured bid I NOW NOTICE that the base address reported by ifconfig is not the same. Perhaps the driver for 2.4.18 got it wrong? How can I force 2.4.18 to use the other driver?

I'm using SSH to tunnel thru my company's firewall to allow easy access to the servers inside the firewall when I'm at home. On the server side I issue this command: ssh -f -C -R2001:localhost:23 pctom sleep 8h this connects to my home pc, which has an external address via the cable modem. The sleep command keeps the connection open so that when I get home I can enter this command: telnet localhost 2001 This way I can telnet into the corporate server via the ssh tunnel. This worked very well when my home system was running woody (the corporate server is an old release of SuSE and hasn't changed) but when I upgraded to sid I ran into this problem. Instead of the connection staying up for 8 hours, it terminates after exactly 2 hours of idle time with the server reporting: Read from remote host pctom: Connection reset by peer The log files on the server and my home pc give no indication of what's wrong. I've read some previous posts about this problem and folks decided it must be a faulty connection thru the cable modem. This is not the problem here. The disconnect always occurs after exactly 2 hours of idle time and only started happening when my home system went to sid. I can only assume there is some timeout parameter somewhere on my pc but I don't know where to look. I sure would appreciate any guidance someone can offer. Thanks.

firewall scripts
I know that RedHat uses something called Bastille, Suse has their own firewall script/gui thing. Does Debian have any firewall scripts or gui's that work for a Debian configuration? -- I wonder if I should put myself in ESCROW!! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've tried different things, but they just keep popping up. I think you can disable kernel logs on consoles completely by passing the "quiet" parameter to the kernel on startup or adding it to the append-line of your bootloader. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

LDAP
If I install openLDAP, what tools do I use to configure the various databases? I'm interested in NSS/PAM (passwd, group, hosts...) and also an LDAP address book for Mozilla.

Re: Identify dhcp client to server using hostname
Robert Ian Smit wrote:
I am trying to allocate ip-addresses on my local network using
dhcp3-server. I want a couple of systems to have a fixed address,
while other system should get any ip that is still available.
I have created a range of dynamic ip-numbers and have tried to find
a way to identify those hosts that need a fixed address using host
statements.
When I add a "hardware ethernet HWADDR"-statement to a host
definition, everything works as expected. However I don't want to
use MAC-addresses, since sometimes I boot a live-cd or another
operating system in which case I'd like to use an ip from the
dynamic range.
I have tried changing the "send host-name" option in dhclient.conf,
but this seems to get happily ignored.
These are the relevant parts from dhcpd.conf on the server:
--
option domain-name "mydomain.net";
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.138;
option routers 192.168.1.3;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.11 192.168.1.19;
}
host myhost {
# hardware ethernet 00:10:A7:10:83:B8;
fixed-address 192.168.1.7;
}
--
The only uncommented line in dhclient.conf on the client:
--
send host-name "myhost";
--
When I uncomment the hardware statement, I get 192.168.1.7,
otherwise I get something from the 11-19 range. Is it possible to
use a different identifier (ideally the host name) and if so what
statements are needed in the different config-files?
Thanks,
Bob
My experience has always been to use the MAC address.
Using a name is too easy to spoof.
I don't think you can do what you are looking for.
However, if you are trying to set an IP address to the same machine based
upon a boot-CD then why not set the installed (hard drive) IP address to a
fixed address and when you boot into the CD, it'll use DHCP to set up.

I asked very much the same question a few weeks ago, and ended up going with the two-independent-servers approach because somebody on this list indicated it was simpler to set up. I have no experience with mod-ssl whatsoever, but I *did* find that adding an independent apache-ssl server worked pretty nearly "straight out of the box". I guess the main drawback of this method would be increased resource overhead. HTH You can manage the resources by setting the SSL child process limits low. -- Sex, Drugs & Linux Rules -- MaDsen Wikholm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's probably the best method because it will also log who turned in the command to reboot/shutdown the computer. Also, because it (may) require password authentication for the command, shutting down the computer will be a more deliberate process. -- Sex, Drugs & Linux Rules -- MaDsen Wikholm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
