strange shorewall error
Hi, I'm running my internet firewall using an up-to-date unstable using shorewall. Current kernel is 2.6.16-1-686 *no* self-compiled packages. Only non-standard is the usage of eciadsl (taken directly from "deb http://www.flashtux.org/debian unstable main" because I have been unable to make the standard eci-adsl package work); this package is also the only reason I'm not using stable on this machine. If someone can help me there :) ;) :) .. but that may be another question :) It is now some time (~3weeks, after some routine upgrade) that I receive the following error: ipt_policy: matchsize 116 != 308 This happens every time I do anything with shorewall (including "shorewall check"), right after "Loading Modules...". This hinted to me that some module failed loading. Sure enough there is a .../kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_policy.ko module that appears to contain the above printout! ..[un]fortunately this module installs in my kernel without a glitch and the above message persist even if the module is already loaded. Does anyone have any idea about what's going on here? Thanks in Advance Mauro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

evbug and 2.6.16
Hi. Since updating to kernel 2.6.16 my syslog gets spammed constantly by evbug messages of this kind: evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0 'rmmod evbug' helps. But I wonder why the evbug module is loaded anyway, this didn't happen before and the evbug module is still blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: - # evbug is a debug tool and should be loaded explicitly blacklist evbug - This happenes by the way with both the debian kernel and my homemade 2.6.16 kernel.

Help with Squid Authentication from cell phone
I set up a squid server on my debian box to use as a proxy for my phone's web browser (openwave). The proxy works perfectly, but I now want to secure it. What is the best way to enable user security that will work with the phone? I tried NCSA-style, but apparently the communication with the phone was encrypted, thus I was locked out of the proxy. There is no field on the phone for a username - just a password. Based on the carrier, would the username be my phone number? Thanks for any guidance. Scott
Fujitsu N3410 Hd won't mount
Fujitsu N3410 Hd won't boot linux.I think that linux is seeing my ultra ata 100 as a scsi or sata device and can't use it. what kind of drivers or modules do i need to make this work (gory details below) . I've installed a couple of different distros on desktops and have not had major problems. This is probably something obvious or easy but I am so new to this and my Google Fu is just up to this.

IDE/ATA controllers intel 82801FB/FBM Ultra ATA storage controllersWindows Xp Media Center (works with no problems)all of these specs came from windows hardware manager and toshiba opps all most forgot
Here how i partitioned it - primary for linux drives so that windows can't see the drives and want to format them. fat 32 so that i can transfer stuff between win and linux80Gpart1: ntfs (shrank to 15G) - primary
part2: reiser 15G - primarypart3: swap 3 gig - primarypart4: extended/logical fat32 =Basic ScenarioI installed debian (5 times same results) etch (and sarg) kernal
2.6.xx (and 2.6 generic & 2.4) the net install for the latest driver and stuff. I boot up and install. I get to disk partitioning. The partitioning software recognizes the hard drive (even has the right model # and size) as sda not hda but it recognizes the partitions and lets me work with them. I partition and format. go through the entire install without any problems (that I am aware of). Install grub it recognizes win xp for dual boot. finish installation. Reboot and grub comes up no problem choose linux and starts booting (I think) it rattles off a bunch of ata errors (see below) and drops me to grub shell. I can't seem to do anything here that is effective to solve the problem.
debian error messagesThese are the ones that i remember.they moved by very fast and look like the same error messages i got with kanotix as it booted.ata1: Status=0x51 { driveready seekcomplete error }

If it is by DSL, you probably are connecting through the DSL modem which acts as a router. That means that actually your router gets assigned the DYNDNS name you chose, as this is the IP that is seen from outside. The router then forwards any packets from the internet to the respective machines on your (private) network. Now, if a machine makes a request to your router, e.g. fetch a webpage, your router does not have have any way to resolve which is the destination of the request. For this purpose, many DSL modems/routers have a configuration option which enables you to define traffic by port which should be forwarded to a specific machine inside your network. Thus you could set one box up for web serving and another for secure shell access. On the other hand, if you have a modem connection, DYNDNS should be set up for using your web server directly. That leaves us with: do you have a firewall installed, and if yes, how did you configure it?

I think what you're referring to is 'snmptrapd', which is installed on some systems already but apparently not enabled by default. If logging is enabled in the router, then this utility will capture that logging output to a file in /var/log/snmptrapd.log. It was part of the rh7.3 install that I use for a firewall, and all I had to do was start it. As it logs the src and dest address and port #'s of all traffic, it will generate a sizable log if you are running a BT client. This info, in my case from a BEFSR41, contains a lot of what I'd call extrainious information IMNSHO, easily quadrupling the size of the log.

I've been performing some manual testing of the snmp commands and seen some logging. Now that I have snmplogd running and sysklogd running with "-r", will the logs automatically start to pick up incoming and outgoing traffic and their associated ports, or do I need to put a special periodic query for that?

But when i try to umount it gives me an error telling me this option is not supported by umount ... the details of the error which occurs is: /bin/umount: unrecognized option `--cifs' Usage: umount [-hV] umount -a [-f] [-r] [-n] [-v] [-t vfstypes] [-O opts] umount [-f] [-r] [-n] [-v] special | node... Do i just have to wait for a next update? Or is there a workaround in some smb4k configuration file? ... i already can manualy umount the share but would like to use smb4k also to umount. Richard

cid tasksel postgresql install failure
tasksel returns an error 255 when installing postgresql. Before that happens though several packages appear to get installed and configured. The error happens right after postgresql-doc is configured and 100% shows up on the screen. It's possible the installation may have gone completely correctly but tasksel coulldn't handle whatever happened and bombed out anyway. I'll check this out later today since I have to do a credit union run before the place closes and shopping today. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I had the same problem on my laptop. I made a small change to /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh, adding the following line right after the comment section: [ -e /tmp/powerbtn_flag_hibernate ] && rm -f /tmp/powerbtn_flag_hibernate && exit 0 (I have posted the whole script to http://pastebin.com/621675 to avoid ambiguities due to line wrapping in emails; the addition is on line number 6.) The additional line checks if the file /tmp/powerbtn_flag_hibernate exists; if it does exist then the file is deleted and the script will exit without shutting down the computer. Otherwise it will work as before. Now all you have to do before you suspend to ram is "touch /tmp/powerbtn_flag_hibernate" to generate this file. I have included this command in etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf (package "hibernate") and now my laptop wakes up without problems when I press the power button.

I don't think this is something obvious. It's taken me a while to dig up
this information, so don't feel bad. :-) Of course, don't feel bad at all

According to the information I found, you are correct.

I believe this is a SATA controller chipset. This is where your problem
begins. Luckily, it can be solved, since SATA includes backward
compatibility with PATA. You just have to enable it.

There, you'll find a description of all the modules and what they're supposed to do. Many are support for specific hardware. If you know you don't have that hardware, you can remove that module. Without consulting the documentation, you could always modprobe -r each module that isn't referred to by another module. If it removes, then it wasn't being used. If it is being used, you won't be able to remove it. Note, however, as Sumo points out, some modules may not be presently used, but will be needed at specific times (especially the ppp modules). So just be aware that when programs that used to work fail for bizarre reasons, it may just be that you removed a module it depends on.

Actually, this isn't so bad; it rarely happens, and you can always boot from CD to fix the problem. But, of course, that is a hassle; better to keep the old kernel around. > Can just install this update over the running kernel and reboot it, > or should I install a different 386 kernel, boot it and then install > the update? That will keep you safe. However, the better approach is to use a different name for your custom-built kernel than the official Debian one uses. This will allow you to keep both kernels installed, and also may save you some headache later on.

Postgresql 8.1.3 Debian installation encoding question
Hi, I was forced to reinstall PostgreSQL 8.1.3 on my Debian machine, using the deb installation files. I used to have UTF8 or LATIN1 encoding for the postgres, template0 and template1 databases (can't remember which one I actualy had :-( ). But after my reinstallation I suddenly had SQL_ASII as (default) encoding. How can I change that? Why did the Debian encoding change? Can I still use the Debian deb files or must I manually initdb PostgreSQL? TIA Joost -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: How do I make my NIC pick the same ETH port every time?
Hi Matt, Sounds like a good plan. I do not use DHCP and having the NIC built into the kernel sounds swell. However, I am very new to debian - is there any chance I could get a step-by step procedure for this? It would take me a week to figure out otherwise.

Re: gnome menu update
Hi. Sometime new installed program does not create its own icon in menu. I've recently discover that you can create a new file in /usr/share/applications/ (i.e. /usr/share/applications/application_name.desktop) where define name, exec, type, category and icon. You can look at another file in the same directory to understand. In my experience i can say also that with gnome 1.x if you launch "update-menu", it replicates same menu entries. It does not work well (not test in gnome 2 which i'm now running). The better way i think is create yourself the file .desktop in /usr/shaere/applications/.

Re: bootloaders selecting wrong video adapter [was: GRUB doesn't come up in new installation]
Out of necessity to have a working system ASAP, I installed Ubuntu which has the same problem, but does all the installation from the blue screen which I can see. Now when I boot up, the screen goes blank when GRUB should appear, and stays blank until the graphical part of the boot-up. I will try sumo wrestler's suggestions now in my spare time (rather than out of desperation) and post any solution I come up with, and file a report on debian-boot. The trial and error is a bit time-consuming since I have to go through the initial stages of the install up to the point of reboot to know if it worked or not. The same problem occurs with the Etch beta 2 business-card ISO. It goes further before rebooting, but then the same thing happens.

I tried a hard link and I get an error: ln: creating hard link `/var/chroot/sid-ia32/dev/hdc' to `/dev/hdc': Invalid cross-device link -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi Jude, this is the 3rd installation error you posted. if may be worthwhile to google through the debian-boot mailing list and/or subscribe/post a question there as that is a list more focused on the installation aspect of Debian. use 'site:list.debian.org' with your google search to get better results.

With a line of pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -m 1412" and mtu 1492 ifconfig ppp0 still shows an MTU of 1492. Though I'm guessing that's what it should be showing, based on Anoop's reply, below. Eth0 (the interface that pppoe runs on) of course has an MTU of 1500.

No, the d-link has it's own firewall stuff. It connects directly to the network line, in place of a modem. (Since this fiber optic service does not have a "modem"). I tried disabling iptables on the firewall to see if I still had the same problem, except I do not have a way of downloading e-mail on the firewall.

If one or both of them is a card then you could try moving them to another slot. Or is there something on the firewire that is getting an eth assignment?

Similarly, if you have an AMD Athlon XP (K7), you'll install the i386 architecture even though the i stands for Intel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
