I have the same effects here with a nvidia chipset on a msi mobo. The screen
goes dark (not really black), using Sid's xserver-xfree86 (1-7). With the
one from Sarge (1-4), everything is fine.

So in my case it's no hardware problem...

mailing list manager with creation-on-subscribe?

[martin f krafft]

I am looking for a mailing list manager to manage an undefined
number of list. A list should be created whenever someone
subscribes. Mails to non-existant lists go to /dev/null. Reason:
I want to set up a system to allow subscriptions to individual
Debian bugs.

Does anyone know such a list server? Or know how to tweak one
easily?

I realise the functionality would be trivial to implement with
python and postgres, but I don't want to fall into all the
bounce-handling traps that mailing list managers are already
managing...

What controls the rotation of "/var/log/auth.log"?

[Adam Funk]

What causes /var/log/auth.log to be rotated?

`grep -R auth.log /etc/` lists only the /etc/syslog.conf file entry to
produce the auth.log file.  It *is* being rotated weekly on my system,
but I want to add to the rotation procedure a script to mail me a log
analysis.

Re: Apache un-able to understand.

[Ivan Adams]

Did you install PHP ?
How did you want to open .php files if you didnt have php

apt-get install php4
after that it will show you do you want to use DSO - press "y". That
script will put some raw in /etc/apache/httpd.conf which will fix your
problem. Your apache configuration is the problem, not your Mozilla!
So the raw in /etc/apache/httpd.conf are:
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so
You have to add extra information in:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm  - add there index.php
RESTART YOUR APACHE!
/etc/init.d/apache restart
THEN See http://localhost/

However, it can speed up swapping considerably, particularly if the drives
are on separate buses.

Or so someone on this list once told me.

do you have the package 'logrotate'?  If so, see /etc/logrotate.conf

logrotate is called by the cron daemon. Take a look
at /etc/cron.daily/logrotate.

Re: IDE Bus rescan

[pir aa]

The Idea of a modul is interesting, but wouldn't that mean, that if I remove
the module I'll remove the whole IDE. I've hear that removing the /root could
cause problems. My disk is on a separate line anyway, so is there a way to
have a modul, that removes just the one line, leaving the other untouched?

I've been throug ide.c and found a method called ide_revalidate_disk,
check_media_change and check_disk_change, but as Linux is pretty new for me I
can't make anything good from it. Is it the right track? Could someone point
me in a direction, to learn more about IDE at startup and initialization on
the software side (HW is not the problem)?

How does IDE function on startup on the sw side? Where do I start?

FWIW I have a 40gig which I use to dual boot win98 and Debian Woody.
I also have a 80gig drive in 1 partition which I just mount as /data.
The last contains my collection of iso images of various Linux distros.
If I had multiple users on my system I would give it the same perms as /tmp.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear that I already know about logrotate.  But
I can't find any references to auth.log in /etc/logrotate.conf
or /etc/logrotate.d/*; the wildcards in the config files do not catch
auth.log; and the status file doesn't list it.  

So something else must be rotating it?!

I can't find any references to auth.log in those config files, or in the

How about, after partitioning, mounting the partition of the
new disk with a filesystem as /home-extended. Create directories
under there for each of your users; e.g. /home-extended/alexis and
then, make a symbolic link from /home/alexis/extended pointing to
/home-extended/alexis. Then you get access to the second disk in a
reasonably comfortable way.

How do I check? I'm rather new to both bind and the practical use of
chroot (but I know what it does in theory). I have set up bind according
to
,
except (like the article says) there is no utility by the name of
bindconfig and the config files are organized a little bit different.
Seems like no problem to me. The server works great now as a DNS server
for the clients in my LAN, resolving names on the internet. But it does
not do anything with my own zone files - have to figure that one out,
but it's another story.

I'm not sure that it runs in chroot mode, and I'm almost certain that it
does not, and I'm not clear about what I could have done (during or
after install) to make it run that way. I can see that named *does* run
with it's own user, bind. But that is not necessarily evidence of
running in chroot, is it?

So I'm reading contradictory statements about this. Some will say that a
vulnerability in bind will only allow an attacker to "hang up" your
system, but it will not let them in. How many real world exploits have
been reported and of what nature?

The theory I did already know a bit about, I just don't have any
experience in setting things up like that :)

I think I would rather not get "compromised" at all.

But when it happens I think I will want to understand how and what
exactly went wrong. Could be instructive :)

Still have a lot to learn...

apt-get remove doesn't remove daemons

[Peter O]

Hi!

apt-get remove in Sarge (fully updated) does not remove (some?) files 
from /etc/init.d and links to them from /etc/rc2.d. For example, these two 
commands:

apt-get install cpufreqd
apt-get remove cpufreqd

left /etc/init.d/cpufreqd file there, as well as a link to it in rc2.d. 
Several other daemons were also left there after apt-get removing them.

Is this behavior 'by design'? If so, where can I read about it? The man page 
insists that apt-get remove is 'identicall to install except that packages 
are removed instead of installed'. The behavior I'm experiencing does not 
support this claim.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Peter

Gimp 1.2 and 2 together?

[Piotr Kopszak]

Hello, 

I  have  to install  gimp  1.2  in order  to  use  GIMP Color  Manager
Plugin. Unfortunately  it doesn't work  with any newer  version. (Very
strange, by the way, does it  mean nobody needs it anymore?). Is there
a way to install two gimp packages (both 1.2 and 2) in Sarge or Sid?

I have sarge daily updated. Some time ago I noticed that in OO there are
rectangles instead e.g. name of fonts. The same is in all dialogs,
rectangles instead of filenames.
How can I correct that ?
   

Dou you know any other e-mail list which is better suited for this

I don't have any suggestions for another list, but I do want to ask if 
the problem occurs for other users, or just your user? If just yours, 
you might want to blow away any OO.o-related directories in your home

You can change it using hostname(1). If you want it to be 
persistent meaning, it sets the hostname everytime you restart, 
set it in /etc/hostname.
 

Be aware that there may be other config files in /etc that contain the 
hostname. I believe Woody (or maybe Potato) had it scattered in various 
places, like exim's config file and the issue file, etc. So you might 
want to do a grep through /etc for your current hostname.

Ich you use apt-get remove, the configuration files of the package won't
be deleted. And the init script links are treated as configuration
files. Use apt-get --purge remove. If the package is already removed,
use dpkg --purge do delete the configuration as well.

Several times you have referred to /swap which is incorrect. You do not
mount a swap partition, but it is instead just a partition of type linux
swap which the kernel takes care of. You may know this, but in case...
There will usually be a line for your swap partition(s) in /etc/fstab,
but it should not be mounted as /swap.

One gb is probably quite a bit more swap space than you need, but if you
have 512mb of ram then its probably okay.

A month ago, I found a .deb for Rekall, version 2.2.0-beta4-2.
I can't seem to find the package again, but the maintainer listed
through apt-cache show is:
Maintainer: Edgar Jasper < develop at edgar dot org dot uk >

I can't say much about the program because I haven't used it
extensively.  Hopefully the email address will help.

i ran into this problem last week, but i can't completely track down
the file involved now.

initially, i used ipcs(8) to find shared memory segments allocated by
www-data, used ipcrm(8) to remove them, but that didn't quite do it.
(it may have not been necessary at all in the end.)

otherwise, i ran apache2 under strace(1) to see what file it tried to
create which caused the problem. (# strace apache2 -X).  i just had to
remove the file then.  it was something like "ssl_cache".  as i said
though, i can't find it right now.

Too bad gimp1.2 is just a transitional package:

gimp - The GNU Image Manipulation Program, stable version 2.0

gimp1.2 - Transitional dummy package for upgrading The GIMP

evolution and web-browser ??

[Richard Palfalvi]

Hi !

I would like to no from EVOLUTION-Users where I can change the
default-browser evolution starts when I am clicking on links listed in
emails? 

In my case (sarge/testing-distri) evolution always starts epiphany but
I'd like to use FIREFOX instead.

I already tried to change this behavior with update-alternatives but
nothing changed - and I believe now that it has nothing to do with the
alternatives-system but with some Config-File of evolution.

I just cannot find the place/file where to tell evolution this
changement 

Any hints on this topic??

yours, 

Richard

Thanks, I can't seem to locate any information so far.
I seem to recall seeing a similar error in the past, and remember having to 
install or relocate a fonts package to fix it. 
I will investigate further.

ALSA working kernel 2.6.7 not sure how

[lebbatdot]

Well the good news is my ALSA is playing sound, the bad news is I have
no idea how I did it.
I have been pounding my head against the wall for some time, finally
started an strace on aplay where it seemed to stall on
open("/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p", O_RDWR)
RTFW I stumbled on a few others having the same issue, but no real fixes
(most otheres seemed to have a remnant of OSS running which I do not
think I did)
Well download ltrace and looked at aplay again, and low and behold the
sweet sounds of Orbinson drifted from the basement (I am building a
headless play system)
Well the output from strace before and after  looks almost identical except for 
set_tid_address(0x4023d0c8) = 7286|
set_tid_address(0x4023d0c8) = 6472
with the 7286 being the one that works, this call seems to have
something to do with threading.  Not sure if it has any relevance.
So the only thing I did is apt-get ltrace and running it on aplay.  Any
ideas  on what may have changed?

problem installing a new kernel

[Scott Mohnkern]

Okay, I'm in the process of installing a new kernel (from 2.20 to 2.4.18)  
and I modified /etc/lilo.conf to have the initrd.img file, however, I  
can't find anywhere on the drive a copy of the initrd.img file for the  
2.20 kernel.

Is there a place to download, or a way to re-create the image file so it  
can be used?

If I try to use the 2.4.18 kernel, with the image file, It's a complete  
mess, with dozens of errors. Plus the ethernet card stops working.  (One  
error is that it cant' find it)

There may be: obtain the last sources for 1.2 (snapshot.debian.net or
something, I haven't used it in a while) and figure out the
debian/rules stuff to build it yourself. It might conflict with the
installed gimp though, so you'll have to work that out yourself. Check
out backports.org (I think, haven't ever used it) for directions on
compiling, they might have something like a tutorial.

A couple issues with Sarge; requesting assistance.

[Mason Loring Bliss]

Hi, all! I've decided to run Sarge on my laptop, and I've encountered a
couple issues. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on them for me.

1. I'm using xautolock and xlockmore. When xlockmore kicks in, either because
of a "hot corner" being inhabited or an idle time-out, the selected screen
saver (stars) will kick in, but cursor will remain visible. Bringing up the
password screen and then having it go away again results in the cursor being
hidden. I've used this combination of software under many (many!) NetBSD
systems, and I've never seen the cursor remain visible before. Clues would
be welcome.

2. XTerm is giving me trouble. First, it seems to ignore what I
set in .Xdefaults-(hostname). I know that my .Xdefaults is being read,
because some other software is obeying what I specify in there, but XTerm
is being recalcitrant. "XTerm*backarrowKey: true" is not being honored,
which is a bit of a pain.

3. TWM seems to ignore my TitleFont declaration in .twmrc.

4. I built a new kernel - my first home-built Linux kernel ever - and it
seems to work, except for one thing that I have yet to figure out. To wit,
my eth0 is not automatically configured, despite being told to use DHCP in
/etc/network/interfaces. It can be manually configured and used without
problems, but it should ideally be configuring itself automatically as it
does under the default kernel. Any idea what I've done wrong here?

5. With a default Debian 2.4.26-1-i386 kernel, I get an error message about
some module or other having a problem. It occurs just after the hot plug
stuff runs. I see nothing about it in dmesg, and I don't have a serial
console setup available for this box. Is there any way I can capture a
complete record of messages between kernel-load and gettys running?

Thanks kindly in advance for your assistance!

It doesn't have one. Well, at least the Debian 2.2.20 installation
kernels from Woody didn't have initrds, because the necessary drivers
for installing were compiled into the kernel.

The 2.4.18 kernel package should include a matching initrd image that is
called /boot/initrd-2.4-18-something.img, at least if you don't use the
2.4.18 installation kernel (2.4.18-bf2.4). That one doesn't use an
initrd image.

The package manegement should also automatically create a symlink

/initrd.img => /boot/initrd-2.4.18-something.img

so all you need to do is to add a line

initrd=/initrd.img

to the 2.4.18 section of your lilo.conf and rerun lilo. Obviously that
worked so far, because you can't boot without the initrd image - the
kernel doesn't have the drivers to access your hard disk.

If you get device errors, this is probably because when you booted using
your old kernel, the drivers (e.g. for your network card) were compiled
into it, but are now compiled as modules. Adding the module name
to /etc/modules should help. If you need more help, tell us what error
messages exactly you get.

Re: rekall doesn't work properly on debian

A month ago, I found a .deb for Rekall, version 2.2.0-beta4-2.
I can't seem to find the package again, but the maintainer listed

I can't say much about the program because I haven't used it

Be aware that precompiled Debian kernels have patches applied.  As a matter 
of fact, 2.4.18 is available for Woody (which it seems you have, since you 
mention 2.2.20).  Depending on your needs, 2.4.18 may be suitable.

There's a very good reason that there are plenty of modules available for 
the precompiled kernel: hardware compatibility.  Anyway, if you didn't 
specify (when you configured the kernel) to build any drivers as a module, 
you won't see any when you use modconf.

No, you cannot simply copy the contents of /lib/modules/`uname -r` over.  
You need to recompile your kernel, and build the modules.

Incidentally, if you didn't build your kernel the Debian way, did you 
specifically make the modules?  If you didn't, you won't have modules to 
load, even if you specified them in the config.

At risk of being shot at at sunrise, I had rekall working without any problems 
in Gentoo a few days back.  Does the following help you at all?

DEPEND="virtual/python
 mysql? ( >=dev-db/mysql-3.23.57-r1 )
 postgres? ( >=dev-db/postgresql-7.3.4-r1 )
 xbase? ( =dev-db/xbsql-0.11 )"
RDEPEND="virtual/python
 mysql? ( >=dev-db/mysql-3.23.57-r1 )
 postgres? ( >=dev-db/postgresql-7.3.4-r1 )
 xbase? ( =dev-db/xbsql-0.11 )"

myconf="--with-gui=kde \
 `use_enable mysql` \
 `use_enable postgres pgsql` \
 `use_enable xbase` \
 `use_enable odbc` \
 `use_enable odbc iodbc`"

sed -i -e 's/$(LN_S) $(kde_libs_htmldir)\/$(KDE_LANG)\/common/$(LN_S) common/' 
${S}/doc/rekall/Makefile.in

For those that do not know, DEPEND is packages that are required to build, 
RDEPEND are runtime only deps, the myconf variable is appended to configure 
and the use_enable function emits the correct configure argument if the 
feature following it is enabled.  As for the sed, I'm not sure...

Full URL for ebuild:
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dev-db/rekall/rekall-2.2.0.ebuild

Maybe gdb backtraces could be helpful.  Since I'm interested in getting this 
working in Debian (as well as working out how apt-get actually works ;) can 
you post the url you found the packages at and I'll have a play myself.

Where to put module config with module-init-tools?

[Mike Fedyk]

Hi,
What file should I edit to set options for a module at boot time?
I looked at /etc/modules.conf, and it is generated by update-modules, 
but that is a "deperciated" command, so what is the new way of doing things?

I created /etc/modutils/options[1], and ran update-modules but the 
options I set don't seem to be used by the module.

It is deprecated for kernel 2.6. It used to generate /etc/modprobe.conf
from /etc/modprobe.d. However for 2.4, it still
generated /etc/modules.conf from /etc/modutils.

Add

options aic7xxx aic7xxx=verbose,pci_parity:1,global_tag_depth:1

to some file in /etc/modprobe.d (2.6) or /etc/modutils (2.4). If you use
2.4, run update-modules or update-modules.moditils. Also make sure
that /etc/modprobe.conf does not exist if you use a current version of
module-init-tools.

Question about apt, apt-proxy, Sarge and testing

[Paul E Condon]

I have a setup in which one of my Debian computers maintains an apt-proxy,
and all the computers on my LAN, point their apt_sources.list to that proxy.
I am running Sarge on all the computers. It has worked very nicely, but I
notice something that I don't like, and I don't know how to fix, or even
if it is possible to fix:

In the past, I have used "sarge" and "testing" interchangeably. That is
sometimes I set up a source.list to get stuff from sarge, and sometimes
from testing. This happened because long ago, the computers were all on
woody, and the transition to sarge was gradual. 

Now I notice that my system does not recognize that sarge and testing are
really the same thing. On a single computer, apt, dpkg, etc. seem to believe
that some packages are from sarge and some from testing, and that these are
not the same. If I remove change one to the other in a sources.list, they
want to download a bunch of stuff that is really up to date. (I talk about
this as being a problem in apt, dpkg, but it might be a problem in apt-proxy.
I really don't understand where the misbehavior actually happens.)

While thinking about how to fix the problem, I realize that I can't see
why these programs should be aware of the fact that sarge and testing are
the same. So maybe this is a 'feature' of the package system that is not
subject to fixing. But is there some way to fix it?

Why fix it? I had been expecting to stick with sarge for a while after it
becomes the new 'stable'. I thought that would be easy: Just point my
sources.list to 'sarge' now, and don't worry. But... if a remove the
lines specifying 'testing', the system wants to download and install all
the same stuff again. I call this not a smooth transition. 

Any ideas?

To load a module at boot time, add it to /etc/modules:

echo psmouse >> /etc/modules

By the way, this has already been asked countless times on this list.
Please check the archive (lists.debian.org, groups.google.com) first

Wordpress installation problems

[Jerry L Bash]

Hi,

I am having difficulty in getting wordpress installed and in a useable state.  The apt-get process completed successfully, but the post install configuration is giving me problems. 
I was able to complete the 3 step setup process as indicated via the web interface, but when I try to login as admin with the supplied password, I get a message on my browser that says:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare __() (previously declared in /var/www/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-l10n.php:35) in /usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-l10n.php on line 35

Looks like there's an overlap in the declarations somewhere, but I know nothing about php, so if someone can help with this, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
-Jerry

Re: Where to put module config with module-init-tools?

OK, thanks.
Now, wtf is wrong with this module?!
I can
modprobe aic7xxx aic7xxx=global_tag_depth:1
And get the specified tag depth
and I can:
modprobe aic7xxx aic7xxx=verbose
And it will be verbose.
But I can't:
modprobe aic7xxx aic7xxx=global_tag_depth:1,verbose
When I do I get
aic7xxx: can only take 1 arguments
aic7xxx: `global_tag_depth:1' invalid for parameter `aic7xxx'
or
modprobe aic7xxx aic7xxx=verbose,global_tag_depth:1
and when I do I get
aic7xxx: can only take 1 arguments
aic7xxx: `verbose' invalid for parameter `aic7xxx'
to get both at the same time.
WTF?

Chapter "9.7 Localization" from the Debian Reference at

Used xcdroast with atapi cdrom under 2.6 kernel. Worked fine, except it
would take forever if there wasn't a disk in the drive when trying to
do something.

It still works better with emulated scsi (as does vmware and some other
things).

Hey all.
I recently made an update of apt followed by an upgrade and rebooted. 
GRUB then gave me this error:

GRUB loading stage1.5...
GRUB loading please wait...
Error 15
Now as far as i know, the error code 15 stands for "File not found". I 
tried booting with the grub bootdisk and do:
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/2.4.25-eb-cfbox
But that gave me another file not found error, so i did
kernel (hd0,0)/[TAB] and the only thing that got displayed is the 
"lost+found" directory with a bunch of "#XXX" files in it, seems 
like it's the only thing left in the system.
I'm sure (hd0,0) is the good device since when i "root" it, it tells 
me that the FS is ext2fs.

Now, i would really like to be able to boot my box again without 
losing the precious data i have on it, most importantly a coding job i 
spent weeks making.
I've been told to use Knoppix to chroot to /dev/hda1 and then do 
"grub-install", "grub" and the root and kernel commands i showed 
above, but i burned "KNOPPIX_V3.6-2004-08-16-EN.iso" two times (one at 
24x the other at 8x) and it doesn't boot, even though the ISO is 
detected to be bootable (yes the bios is set correctly).

Has anyone got a clue on how i could fix/minimize the damages?
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.
Do not do anything that involves writing to that drive until you have 
successfully read it. IE on no account go reinstalling grub.

It sounds like your system is hosed, and the Knoppix CD is a sound way 
to boot something else so you can inspect the drive.

You can also try booting a Sarge install CD, but I don't think there's 
anything wrong with Knoppix  3.6 (I can boot my CD fine), but testing 
_that_ on another box is a good idea.

So is attaching your HDD to another machine, maybe in a USB enclosure, 
booting K on that...

With the hostname command as root (see man hostname).
You could also change the content of the /etc/hostname file, but it

You need to do both of those: one for immediate effect, the other for later.

Sarge install hangs on ide-cd detection?

[Olav]

Has anyone experienced any problems with the installation of Sarge,
kernel 2.6? I have used a "businesscard" iso version of Sarge to try.

If I boot from the cdrom and install the default 2.4 everything goes
smooth and without any problems. System is up & running in no time.

When I try the same with the 2.6 kernel the installation program boots
quickly, I can make several selections, seems allright, but... when it's
going into hardware detection it just stalls at around 87% while trying
the "ide-cd" module.

Should I try another Sarge cd? Bootfloppies or Netinst? Newer version?
This one I downloaded only a week ago. Or do I in fact have a cdrom
drive that is not compatible with 2.6?

TIA

To fix it, add:

Adding New Programs

[David Snyder]

I've been using Debian Linux for about 1 week and love it.  I'm still trying 
to learn the ropes and have been successful in getting many things 
accomplished.  Getting closer to kissing Windows GOODBYE.

I have 2 questions and have looked at numerous web sites for answers.
1.  I figured out how to add new packaged with apt-get install since I didn't 
install everything I needed initially.  What I haven't been able to figure 
our is how to add these to the desktop or desktop panel.  For example, I 
installed Mozilla and was able to lauch this via the command line but lost 
when attempting to add to the panel.  How is this done?  I'm sure it's easy 
but for some reason I haven't been able to figure it out.

2.  I'm using Kontact for my email, calendar, notes, etc.  I like to spell 
check emails before I send, however, I get an error saying ISpell/Aspell 
could not start, be sure to add it to your path.  Is this the path 
in /etc/profile?

Any help would be appreciated.

ximian-connector under debian

[Clifton Sluss]

Hi all,

does anyone out there have systematic approach to making
ximian-connector work for evolution?  I have tried to install via
alien the rpm packages found on novell's site, but to no avail. 
Closest to working is the redhat 9 rpm but gives:

"Cannot activate component
OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_ExchangeStorage_ShellComponent :
The error from the activation system is:
Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred"

upon startup of evolution.
i am using 1.4.6, i would use 1.5 and evolution-exchange if anyone has
crossed that bridge.

 It looks like a .deb may have been available until sometime this
summer, but no more, maybe someone saved it?

i would give more detail, but the computer on which i am trying to
make this work is at work and my monitoring of this list is going to
be limited to home. any specific information that may be needed to
work through this could be obtained upon request with a day's lag in
response.

i am rather new to this type of thing, but can follow directions.

thanks for your help

Re: Adding New Programs

[Clifton Sluss]

David,
sounds like your in KDE, so the first problem is pretty simple.  if
you right click next to the K menu icon on the taskbar a set of
options comes up, including "menu editor" choose this.  it will show
you a list of the items found in the K menu, in the same arrangement
they are found normally, for your convenience.   under file here you
can choose to add a submenu or an item.   when you add or select an
existing item to modify the right side of the dialog becomes active,
you can map the path to the executable if need be and pick out an icon
that works for you. you can drag anything from the k menu to the panel
to leave a little shortcut.

i gave up on kmail a while back and have been using ximian evolution,
so i am not really sure about your second question

Confused about modules

[Robert Parker]

As root
On a Woody system 2.4 series kernel.

modprobe apm
the module installs and is in the lsmod list but does not persist through a 
boot.

insmod apm
same story.

So what command should I use to have apm installed on boot?
I guess a second question is why have 2 commands doing the same thing?

There is no bindconfig or any utility like that.

Bind does two functions - as a caching nameserver (resolver) and a DNS
server (publishes entries as placed in your zone files). The Bind book
(deadtree edition) recommends running both components of bind under
different IP's.

If you followed the chroot'ed bind howto (e.g. "replicate" the folders
needed from the root filesystem into say /var/lib/named, then place
bind's configs there in /var/lib/named/etc/bind, run as a
non-privileged user -> there's explicit instructions on how to do
this) then it runs chroot'ed.

The most dangerous of vulnerabilities would allow denial of service or
entry to the system. What I've stated is just the theory on the
purported advantages of running the bind daemon chrooted with regards
to compartmentalizing the damage that can be done.

For info on bind's real-world exploits record - check the archives at bugtraq.

As root
On a Woody system 2.4 series kernel.

modprobe apm
the module installs and is in the lsmod list but does not persist through a 
boot.

insmod apm
same story.

So what command should I use to have apm installed on boot?
I guess a second question is why have 2 commands doing the same thing?

Thanks

You could also try aptitude, either from the command line line apt-get or 
just run aptitude and it has a text interface. There is also a gui 
interface either synaptic or gnome-apt (no experience with either).

It should be added automatically to the menus (at least when you 
logout/login, probably depending on the window-manager).

Make sure that the menu package is installed.

>From the next question I am guessing that you are using kde, (if not, 
then which one?), in that case, once the program appears on the menu you 
can drag it to the panel IIRC. You probably also have an option when right

to add a launcher manually (probably won't get the icon automatically 
though).

It should be on the path, but its probably not installed. Try installing 
either aspell (usually better but sometimes gives too many options) or 
ispell, and make sure you also install the matching dictionaries (it will 
should require at least the basic ones, do apt-cache show aspell and 
apt-cache show aspell under dependecies there are the dictionaries.

Re: ximian-connector under debian

%% Clifton Sluss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

Unfortunately Debian doesn't have a good story for this software (yet?)

I heard that Evo 2.0 was going to be release RSN; maybe they're waiting
to do connector with that.


Anyway, I built and installed connector from the vanilla source file
(actually I got mine from CVS but it's much simpler to get the source
.tar.gz from Novell).  It works fine for me although it's true it's not
tracked by dpkg.  Oh well.


Anyway, look at this thread on the connector mailing list for info:

This bug report is from a woody install, but it sure looks close to
your problem. 2 years and 150 days old. Maybe unfixed due to lack of
enough info to isolate the problem. Maybe you should file a follow-up
bug report.

Redirect all http requests to a single page?

[Jimmy Liang]

Hi All,
I have a Sarge server running only Apache2 and not much else. All it 
does is serving 1 index.html, with a few images and css. Its my 
maintanience page for when the actual web servers are down.
My question is, how can I make it so that any request made to the 
server, will be redirected to index.html?
I don't care what the web users request it, I don't want any page not 
found errors, just my maintainence page.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
-Jimmy

I think you could copy /bin, /sbin, /lib and /etc onto a ramdisk,
chroot to that, rmmod/insmod the ide module then chroot back?

do you have to have a card in, when you boot? just curious. mine shows up as
a mass storage device, but nothing happens when i insert a cf card. maybe i
need to a rescan of the scsi busses to get it to check for partitions and
register the blk dev.
