I checked the Windows Explorer history and movies.go.com has not been accessed in weeks, at least, although it is on the favorites list and has been accessed several times in the last year. I've heard all the chilling spyware stories, but this is an eye opener for the sheer volume of data being passed 24/7 to or from this box. But what data and to whom? Could be fairly innocent, but I expect any application that wants to phone home to ask me first: common courtesy. It's generally felt that no single anti-spyware program can do a proper job. Microsoft itself now does what is considered quite a good one, but you never know what deals they might do (especially with Disney, which has been mentioned) and a certain amount of money might move a program from the 'spyware' to the 'adware' category. McAfee calls them all 'potentially unwanted programs'. I use AdAware and Spybot, but I've seen problems that neither would fix. A session with the task manager, regedit and Google may be called for. Then a few reboots to make sure it doesn't sneak back. The nastier ones are even harder, but even slightly legitimate programs don't actually disable the task manager. Something that does that belongs in the 'virus' class. I might note in passing that since Win95 there has been no version that has 'no web client running', as from W98 on they all have Internet Explorer built in.

Why the mystery?
What message is being transmitted by calling it 3.2 versus 4.0?
If there is no message, why the distinction?
So what we have now is current version of debian is N.K with next
version of debian being N.{K+1} or {N+1}.K according to some
inscrutible random variable dependent upon the phase of the moon and
other chaotic factors.
The only effect as far as I can see is to cause confusion about the
version number of the next release.
I suspect some sort of Schödinger's cat experiment where the next
version number is in some sort of half-incremented
half-not-incremented superposition state.
Does this state of affairs actually help anyone? ANYONE?

Erm, OK. Coming back to earth for a second, I think the
reason why some people object to a version number being
attached to etch is because of the stage of its life
that it's at, it could be argued not to be an official
release yet. (Pardon me, has it even made it to
"testing" yet?).
Refraining from giving early-stage upcoming versions of
software an official version number until it gets to a
certain stage of maturity is pretty common practice in
largescale software development. And it doesn't get a
lot more large scale than a worldwide open source
project.

I do however agree that, generally, running a mixed system is not really highly recommended, but simply for a *kernel*, I believe this to be a good option: 1. You are not pulling down any non-Sarge packages other than the new kernel; 2. You are removing the non-Sarge entries from sources.list after downloading the non-Sarge kernel, meaning that the entirety of your system will remain Sarge; 3. The kernel will then *not* be touched by any subsequent 'upgrade' or 'dist-upgrade' unless you explicitly ask it to. Actually, what I am proposing is no different to going to http://packages.debian.org/ and finding the appropriate (unstable) kernel package and just doing: dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.11-... This is *not* running a mixed system. > I STRONGLY encourage you to learn how to use the Debian kernel tools > like "make-kpkg" to compile custom kernels from the Debian or > kernel.org sources. I found the following on a Google search, but > there are plenty of other guides around: > http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html make-kpkg is a fantastic tool and I thoroughly recommend it for when you have to *customize* your kernel. However, in this case the poster presumably wants the stock kernel image, but for a more recent version of the kernel than appears in Sarge. The act of *compiling* a kernel is becoming less of a necessity as time goes on - a few years ago, it was common: now the stock kernel packages for your distribution of choice are nearly always sufficient (there are exceptions, true, but fewer than there used to be). I needed a more recent stock version of the kernel myself when I wanted a Sarge system but my disk controller needed a newer kernel to avoid a critical bug. Given the choice of: A. Download the source for kernel.org and compile -> No, kernel.org kernel source does not have Debian patches and as such may not behave as expected, and will need plenty of configuration; B. Download the most recent source package from Debian and build it using make-kpkg -> No, unnecessary. And, in any case, you will probably need to go outside Sarge to get the source for the more recent kernel anyway! C. Get the Sid kernel; -> Yes. Unlikely to break anything and it's quick and simple.

Let me see if I understand you correctly. Your reason for having the
ambiguity of wether to call it 3.2 or 4.0 is just to keep people from
assigning etch a number?

postfix/procmail/spamassassin permissions issues
I've never quite "gotten" how spamassassin permissions are supposed to set in users' home directories, and nothing in the documentation directly addresses the issue. I'm running sarge with postfix, mailman (using the spamassassin option), procmail, and spamassassin daemon mode (spamd). I get errors in syslog as follows: spamd[12739]: cannot write to /home/adam/.spamassassin/bayes_journal, Bayes db update ignored: Permission denied spamd[16734]: Cannot open bayes databases /home/adam/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Permission denied /home/adam/.spamassassin is world readable and executable. bayes_journal is read and write only by me. But who is spamd running as? ps aux reports it running as root, so that shouldn't have a problem. Even if it's running as me, it still shouldn't be a problem. So why permission denied? /usr/share/doc/spamassassin/README.spamd suggests that spamd is supposed to run as root and drop to the uid of the user to whom mail is being delivered. Are these files really supposed to be world readable and writable? That seems like the wrong way to do it.

adduser: default groups
Hi, I found that Sarge's new users "adduser xxx" by default aren't on group "camera" so a friend of mine has been drived nuts before I got their Kodak working :) It was the same on woody where I needed to add new user to groups "audio", etc, in order to get permisions to play Cd's, etc. Now in Sarge, I see that new users are in those groups by default Question is: where can I set these default groups the user will be in?

Atheros support in Ubuntu, but not Debian?
I recently installed Ubuntu 5.0.4, and my wireless card (D-Link DWL-G650) just worked. I then installed Debian 3.1, and found that it ignored my wireless card.

Linux and Solaris Mail playing nicely
Hi all, I realise this is a Linux list, but I figured there must be some Sendmail guru out there :-) I have just added a few Solaris boxen to my (nearly) all Linux (Debian) network, and would like to get each one to deliver *all* mail to my current mailserver. Basically, I don't want *any* mail delivered locally, just forwarded on. My new.mc file looks like this: OSTYPE(`solaris8')dnl DOMAIN(`solaris-generic')dnl define(`SMART_HOST', 'my.mail.server')dnl FEATURE(`relay_entire_domain')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') MAILER(`smtp')dnl But I still get local mail Any ideas?

Second time on hostname
I'm having some difficulties (From: line missing in header of outgoing newsgroup mesaages) and worry their cause might be due to what I put into /etc/hostname when I installed. I had done some reading, got inconsistent answers, and ended by using as hostname my FQDN, teufel.hartford-hwp.com when I installed. Since then I've seen suggestions to use only the local host name (teufel). Is "machine name" synonymous with "local host" name? A simple question for which I desperately need an answer: Should I have used only the local hostname? Secondary questions: does my use of FQND spell trouble? If so, some sources say never try to change your hostname, but do a reinstall instead; others say, grep the /etc directory and change the name whereever it appears. Which is right? Should /etc/mailname be brownh#hartford-hwp.com? Here, incidentally, are the returns from the hostname command: $ hostname teufel.hartford-hwp.com $ hostname -a localhost $ hostname -d [nothing is returned] $ hostname -f localhost $ hostname -s localhost None of these seem right. -- Haines Brown KB1GRM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

samba setup tips?

Strictly speaking the system hostname should only appear in /etc/hostname. However, some programs unfortunately expect to be able to resolve this name as if it were a domain name. Thus, the Debian installer puts the hostname in /etc/hosts too. If you change the system hostname then you should also change the relevant line in /etc/hosts. /etc/mailname is completely different: the MTA looks in that file to find out what domain name it should use as the origin of mail. See mailname(5). > Which is right? Should /etc/mailname be brownh#hartford-hwp.com? No, it should be a domain name such as 'teufel.hartford-hwp.com'. Set up /etc/hosts like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.1.1 teufel.hartford-hwp.com teufel Put 'teufel' in /etc/hostname and reboot. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Atheros support in Ubuntu, but not Debian?
IIRC the drivers require non-free stuff, or there was some other reason they weren't accepted into the mainstream kernel. See recent Linux Journal for a card that's supportable by Linux w/o proprietary drivers or go with a distrib (e.g. Ubuntu or Xandros or Knoppix) that doesn't mind distributing non-free modules. It should not surprise you that corporate distrutions might have drivers included that DFSG-free distribs would not.

Re: Atheros support in Ubuntu, but not Debian?
Depends on which set of steps you want to do. If you're looking to install the drivers as a Debian package, you'll have to build it yourself, which is what the marlow.dk link discusses. If you just want to install the drivers and update them yourself (similar to what you might do on a Windows machine), you just download a tarball from http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/ and follow the instructions. If you've never installed software from a tarball (tar.gz/tar.bz2 file) before, it's pretty straightforward. If you've never compiled a kernel before, though, the stuff with the kernel source tree might be a bit tricky. I don't know if the Ubuntu madwifi packages work with straight Debian, but you could certainly try them. Whichever path you decide to take, post if you have any questions, and somebody can surely answer them.

I'm very, very far from a sendmail guru, but I happen to know off of the top of my head that MAILER(`local') is implied, even if you don't explicitly include it.

Re: adduser: default groups
I feel my question was badly explained. So there is 2nd attempt: It seems it's possible to set a defaults file for useradd-usermod (say /etc/default/useradd or the like), were (perhaps?) I could set some default groups, so new users would be automatically on these groups. Unfortunately, I 'can't find any examples so I don't know about the syntax (if any). Could you give me some pointer? I know, I can write a little shell script. I made it for Woody. I'm sure it would work on Sarge too. Now I would know about that defaults file. After all, adduser is a perl script that calls useradd. To do a second script on top of adduser doesn't seem very neat to me. And curiosity is stronger than me.

exim4 & spamassassin - no spam scanning
After a recent upgrade to sarge, I decided to update exim to exim4. This was fairly painless, until I tried to configure spamassassin. Following instructions at: http://koivi.com/exim4-config/ I added a transport to /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_spamcheck and a router to /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/850_exim4-config_spamcheck_router Mail is still being delivered fine, but the SPAM headers are not being added to the received email and the /var/log/exim4/mainlog reports that mail is being collected and delivered immediately to the necessary Maildir folder. What am I missing? How do I get Spamassassin to scan the mail and tag it so that I can filter it out with .forward rules, as I had previously? I upgraded in the hope I could get sa-learn working, but so far spamassassin is a non-starter. Any help would be appreciated. -- Branden Faulls -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Does the driver brw that comes in gpm work properly or at all? I have been trying to get my Fellows browser connected via usb to work. It simply does not work with xserver-xfree86. I can get it to work somewhat by setting the driver in gpm to exps2 setting the x protocol to auto in XF86Config-4 and setting buttons to "4" & the z axis mapping to "4 5" the scroll wheel works and the the left & right buttons work. The side buttons do not work. I have tried setting buttons to "7" and z-axis mapping to "6 7" but that kills the scroll & only the rt. & lft. buttons work.

I don't recall Exim4 requiring either transports or routers to use SA; esp. not exim4-heavy. In exim4 the common practice is to use ACLs to call SA and accept/reject at SMTP time. That is well prior to transports and routers. That looks like someone is updating their exim3 config to exim4 without understanding the changes between the two versions. Do a Google search on "exiscan-acl" and "spamassassin" to find a ton of directions on how to use exiscan-acl with SA at SMTP time. exiscan-acl has been a part of exim4-heavy for some time now and exiscan-acl itself recently was integrated into the main exim code.

Sharing the internet connection with XP
Hello! I have problem with sharing my internet connection... I have configured my Windows XP system to share my internet connection to my Powerbook (G3 "Lombard"). But I think I need to configure the Linux system also, somehow? Any ideas of how I can do this? Should I edit a config file somewhere or what? The Debian team has taken out Linuxconf so I feel a little handicapped, but even if I could use Linuxconf, I'm not sure if I could solve this anyway. Hmm... The PC has 2 network cards. The first one is connected to an ethernet ADSL modem. The second network card is connected to a 100Mbit switch which is connected to my Powerbook. I now have a working connection between these 2 computers, I have succesfully transferred files by ftp, but this is only in the local network. So... Any suggestions? Both the PC and the Mac has a static IP address which is used in the local network. My connection to the internet, there I get an automatic IP address from my ISP. Greetings Björn Johansson

HPOJ, you will have to use some sort of command (I don't know which) to tell it to stay away from the USB ports, and then configure HPLIP to use them. I wonder if it is possible to force aptitude to install those 2 conflicting packages and somehow match them to the appropriate printer? You will need to use a backport of the sid hplip package (not yet uploaded, maybe when 0.9.4 shows up), and to modify hpoj to stop conflicting with hplip.

But what if you don't know the binary? Even on Debian, one could have none, or several, web browsers installed. I more frequently than not invoke a given application from a command line but a new user may be uncomfortable with that. If he's running X, for instance, his only adjustment (from Windows) might be that he needs to type "program &" rather than just "program" if he doesn't want his shell hanging on him. However, other than perhaps firefox or mozilla (and opera, of course), there's no real association between a program's name on Windows vs. a similar-functioning app on Linux. For instance, how does a newbie come to the conclusion that "kopete" is (one choice for) an instant messaging client? If he's using KDE, he can surmise that, because Menu- >Internet lists it and tells the user that it's an instant messaging client. To put this in perspective, I was a new user of a Mac OSX system a few weeks ago. Took me sometime to figure out that "Safari" was their web browser.

what i want the proxy for is stuff like, telnet, ftp, ssh, and then of course , various instant messengers as for pretty much every connection to servers that i make via terminal. not to speed up the browser because i have hacks to do that, and well not to speed up any connection, but more of a way to cover my IP address over any connection.

Thanks to Luis and Rodney. I went to the Cdrecord FAQ website (http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/man/cdr_readme.html) and found this: Cdrecord currently only supports Track at once. (For audio files.) If I use track at once $ cdrecord -eject -v -tao speed=16 -pad -audio dev=ATA:1,0,0 *.wav I get a playable audio disc. If I use disk at once $ cdrecord -eject -v -dao speed=16 -pad -audio dev=ATA:1,0,0 *.wav I get a disc not recognised by audio equipment. This is also true of X-CD-Roast. You must choose "Track-At-Once (TAO)" and not the default "Disk-At-Once (DAO)". This must be how I encountered the problem in the first place - I just accepted the default. In my original post, I indicated that -tao did not work when I now know that it should do. I think I confused myself because writing in simulate mode (-dummy) produces an error. Also unexplained is that Rodney seems to have made a successful recording using -dao. Perhaps its something to do with the -useinfo switch?

Sarge - postfix/saslauthd issues
Dear List:
Note: This is more for reference in the event that someone is
searching for info on this stuff.
I haven't had to touch my Postfix setup in quite a while, since it
has been running lovely. However, last time I configured it, I had a
lot of issues... that I hoped would be resolved this time.
Unfortunately I had the same problems today as I tried to configure
Postfix/saslauthd. It may very well be ME that is the problem, but I
thought I would seek some other opinions.
System: Debian Sarge
postfix2.1.5-9
sasl2-bin2.1.19-1.5
libsasl22.1.19-1.5
libsasl2-modules2.1.19-1.5
PROBLEM 1:
The first problem is is that Postfix can't connect to the saslauthd
socket. The reason appears to be because it is running in a chroot
environment (by default) and the socket is outside of the jail by
default.
These what the vars in the "/etc/init.d/saslauthd" script looks like:
NAME=saslauthd
DAEMON="/usr/sbin/${NAME}"
DESC="SASL Authentication Daemon"
DEFAULTS=/etc/default/saslauthd
PWDIR=/var/run/saslauthd
PIDFILE="/var/run/${NAME}/saslauthd.pid"
The saslauthd socket is created as "$PWDIR/mux". However, Postfix
looks for it as "/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux".
Errors without /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux (/var/log/
mail.log):
postfix/smtpd[7663]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot
connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory
postfix/smtpd[7663]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password
verification failed
postfix/smtpd[7663]: warning: SASL PLAIN authentication failed
To fix it I removed "/var/run/saslauthd", and then recreated it as a
soft link to "/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd" (make sure that
postfix or whatever the postfix user is, is a part of the sasl group).
This fixes the problem for me, but Is there anything I'm missing? I
really didn't find anything in the documentation for saslauthd that
led to this. Just want to make sure I didn't waste hours of my life
for no reason. ;)
PROBLEM 2:
When installing "saslauthd", the following directory is created: "/
etc/postfix/sasl". However, out of the box i can't seem to
authenticate with saslauthd unless I manually create the file
"smtpd.conf".
Errors without /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf:
/var/log/mail.log:
postfix/smtpd[7501]: warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to
open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory
postfix/smtpd[7501]: warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to
open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory
postfix/smtpd[7501]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password
verification failed
postfix/smtpd[7501]: warning: SASL PLAIN authentication failed
/var/log/auth.log:
postfix/smtpd[7501]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key
database /etc/opiekeys: No such file or directory
Logs obviously show that its not finding an AUTH mechanism. I
thought that "/etc/defaults/saslauthd" or something else held the
info for authentication mechanisms. however, unless I create
"smtpd.conf" with the following in it:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login
is there any reason that this file isn't create when apt-get
installing postfix/saslauthd? I've found info on the net that
mentions this file in "/usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf" or "/usr/lib/sasl2/
smtpd.conf" but never in "/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf". Maybe its
just me.
Regardless, its working. Maybe this info can help someone else, or
maybe someone out there has a bit more knowledge to help me
understand why this seemed so difficult.
Thanks
