Problem with RAID
I would like to know how I can install Debian on this machine: DEC HX 6000 server 128 Meg ram Adaptec 2940 running the CD-ROM Mylex DAC960 Raid controller with all the hard drives on it DEC 21x4 network card single CPU I have tried Redhat, Caldera and Debian on this system to no avail. Any ideas on how to install this? -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Rights on shared directories
I am running Debian 2.1. I would like to set up a directory for all users logging into the Linux box to have full rights to. I would like to have it set up so that all the users can rw and when they save the file it will have the same group permissions assign to it as it did when I first created the file. I am assuming that I would have to force a set for the full directory somehow but I am not sure how to do this. Can anyone tell me how? Thanks -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Problem with RAID
I am sorry, I cannot set them up from the install disks. I need to boot from them or figure out a way to use the cdrom or floppy to boot and get the raid system working. In my job, puting another HD in th system is out of the question. So to sumerize, I need to access from the install disks and need some way to boot it or create a boot cd/floppy for it. Creating any type of a cd-rom (including a custom unit for installing) is NOT out of the question. I have a Debian system with a cd-rom writer in it so I can do amost anything with it.

If you look at fdisk or cfdisk you will see the name listed. You can use fdisk /dev/hda and from there type p and it will list all the patitions that you have on your HD. Then you just look for the one that is formated for dos and use that name.

Sendmail problem (fwd)
I am having trouble with my sendmail on Debian 2.1. I want it to map all email to the auto-forwarding addresses that I have on the net (bigfoot, linuxfan,et.). This way when I change ISP's next mouth I do not have to change much on the system. I have read all the sendmail documents on this that I could find and followed the instructions to the letter. Attached is the configuration files that I have created for this. Can someone see what I am doing wrong?

StarOffice help
I have downloaded the 5.1 version of StarOffice. I am using Debian 2.1 (slink). I use fetchmail and sendmail on my local machine to recieve and send mail. I use the pop3 and IMAP servers on my local machine to have some programs get access to my mail. I have configured StarOffice to use the pop3 server and smtp to the local machine. For some reason it cannot log into the machine no mater what I try. I have tried the real host name and localhost name both connected to the internet and not. It just cannot log into the server. Has anyone got this type of a system working? Thanks. -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bind
I am using one machine to run Debian 2.1. I do not have a network but I want bind to handle caching of DNS inquires. I am doing this so I can use the sendmail genericstable and virtualtable and convert my addresses to the ones I want to have everyone use for replys. My problem is now if I am not connected to the net, everything stops when I send a message. I have not changed my sendmail configuration yet to vurtual hosting so I cannot see where that is the problem. I installed the bind package with no forwarding so it is in caching setup. Thanks for all the help. -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Staroffice mail
OK. I have Staroffice mail working to my local machine. My problem is intermetently I am having problem connecting to my machine. Everything is set to localhost for a server name. Bind is set up with localhost in it's table (acording to the deb install). And it works 90% of the time. Since this is the only office package that I have that is fully inticrated so I can automate some of my tasks, I would realy like to have everything working well. My main problem is nothing shows up in the logs as an error. At least none of them that I have checked. So, if anyone would have a sugestion I would like to here it. I am running Debian 2.1 with KDE as a desktop. Thanks. -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sendmail-anything else
I am trying to learn sendmail but it is not working the way I am expecting or wanting it to. I have tried everything that I can think of to no avail. Maybe someone can tell me why or maybe I should try something else. I am running Debian Slink with sendmail running and bind working. I use multiple mailboxes for my family. Each member has a login account on the Linux machine. Each member has a permanate forwarding e-mail box on the net so when I change ISP's I do not have to worry about changing e-mail addresses. Now what I want is sendmail (read any one like exim, send, et.) to always re-write the from address to the forwarding e-mail address for that user. I want to use any client program that I want for the mail program. Like I like StarOffice for my personal mail and ishmail for my work mail. My wife likes Netscape for hers. All these programs access the Linux machine for all e-mail for the user. So my local sendmail sends and receives my mail. I also need to have a flexible alias system so I can have all accounts receive mail from one address and they get the private mail from the other accounts no matter what the name is on the ISP side. The mail pull from the ISP is done through fetchmail at the root level so I only have one configuration file. Is anyone running a system like this? Can anyone help me get it set up? I have tried so many things that this letter would be way too long for anyone to read if I listed them all here. I am willing to take any suggestions that anyone has to offer. Even trying something else as long as someone has an idea as to how this configuration would work. Thanks. Brian Schramm -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PIM's
Ok. maybe this is asking for a lot but I like to use my equipment until it no longer runs! I run Debian Linux for all my machines and use the KDE desktop system for my address book and schedualer. My problem is I want to use my portable for this type of setup too. But it is an older unit that X will never run on. 1. I am not afraid of the command line. I also do not mind writing small converting utilities for my own convenience. 2. I want software that is compatable with a GUI unit too. I will not mind changing software on both ends if it gives me this type of compatability. 3. I cannot garintee that I will be comunicating with both computers by a high speed link so I do not want to transfer large somes of date back and forth for updating. Any ideas? -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a debian machine that is a firewall for my network. I would like to remove the monitor and keyboard on the machine so I need a way to control it by a secure shell from my internal network. Is there any way to do this? I looked for ssh and did not find it. Is it hidden in a package that I did not see? Also, I would like to have Pine for my email.

Help with ssh
I figure that I need to configure something at this time but I am not quite sure where to start. I installed the ssh deb file on my Debian 2.0 machine. I have also installed the redhat side on my redhat machine. Now I would like to configure it so the root user has access to the debian machine by ssh only. I have the man page for ssh but I am a little lost. Do I configure a file for access to user accounts like the hosts.allow? Or do I have to build a set of keys to copy to the local machines?

Help with cdwriting
I have desided to go back to Debian for my Linux needs. I am now installing a Debian 2.1 box with a HP cd writer drive in it. This is going to be the main purpose of this box. I know under redhat I used /dev/sgc for the device to access the drive. I am assuming I use the /dev/sg0-9 driver for Debian. I have the sg drivers loaded in the kernel and I see them in the /dev directory but when I run the cdrecord program against any of them, it comes back saying that it cannot find the drive. I also thought that I would try xcdroast. It sees the drive but does not see any driver file listed for it. I also cannot get past the configuration screen on the program although, that may be my problem since I have never used that program before. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Gnome-enlightment
I am running Slink. I would like to get the latest gnome-enlightment packages on my home machine. I have a slow net work connection to this machine (28.8 modem) so I would like to have my work machine download the files and I can put them on a CD for my home machine to install. I do not have these two programs set up on eather machine so the update will not work. I have tried to download the packages from the web site but I do not have the time to sit there and choose indvigual files to get them by http. Is there a way that I can get the full file system for both onto my machine here at work and then I will burn a CD with them so I can take them home? I know that this is the location for the current files: http://www.debian.org/~jules/ But that is not reachable by ftp and I need some way to get it here automaticly. The system that I am useing at work for CD burning is a headless system so I do not need this on it. Also, along the same lines, I noticed on the kde site that the only distribution for the newest kde is for hamm. will that work under slink? Thanks -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Printer sharing

Printer problem
I hope this gets to the list. I never saw my question post the last time. I am running Debian slink and I need to share my printers with my networked Debian slink workstations. I know that there is a file I need to modify in order to give permission to each computer to do this. I just forgot which one and what to put in it. Can someone please help me on this? Thanks. Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Printer problem
I am sorry. I did not give a good explanation for the problem. I am talking security. I have the printer setup in the printcap file but it is not working because it cannot connect to it. The machine at the other end says it cannot allow the connection. I use to create a hosts.lpd file and that would work but I know that this version has some other file to edit.

Questions on X
I run Debian Slink 2.2 fully updated from debian.org. I have 2 machines setup on a network in my house. One of them has a lot of ram and HD space for use and the other is very limited in both. I have my home directory maped by nfs to the large machine. What I want to do is use xdm to act as a x terminal on the small machine so it will not be so slow in X when I want to use it. I am asuming that it is posible but I cannot figure out how to configure that. Can anyone help me? Thanks. Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org

X help
I am running Debian 1.31. I want to install X windows on my system. Keep in mind that I have run X windows on this machine in the past using XFree86. So I know there is no incompatability in the software hardware issue. Here is the problem: I cannot run XF86Setup. It will not show anything on my monitor. I configure it by way of xf86config and run startx and get a blank screen also. I have tried the copy off my CD and the copy on the debian FTP site with the same results. BTW, it must be loading because all I have to do is wait for the hard drive activity to stop and press CTRL-ALT-Backspace and get back to my CLI. This has to be something simple that I have overlooked since I cannot see the system not working. BTW, I have looked at the configuration file from my old install and cannot find anything meaningfull different between the two.

Boot problems with 1.31
OK, I know I have a strange configuration but I like it. Here is my configuration: HP Pavilion 7126 computer 32 meg ram 2 IDE hard drives with a IDE CD-ROM hda = 1.65 GIG IDE hdb = 500 Meg IDE hdc = CD-ROM 1 SCSI hard drive and 1 4 MM tape drive driven by an Adaptec 1520 card sda = 1 GIG SCSI ID 0 Tape drive SCSI ID 6 External modem internal sound system and vidio Now for the problem. I messed up my Debian install that I had on 2 partitions on the 2 IDE hard drives. I also have OS/2 and DOS running on the IDE hard drives. Since I have blowen away my Debian and I was in the middle of installing it anyway, I figured that I would put the new install on the SCSI hard drive. My old install I had configured to go to the MBR on hda. It worked fine. So I tried to do that with this one. Lilo tells me there is a problem with hdc (my CD-ROM) and run MAKEDEV-IDE, but it does say that it is adding my boot labels. When I rebooted it, all I get on the screen is Li. So, I got my OS/2 boot manager back and I configured it for the SCSI and it will not show on the menu. Can anyone give me some help on this? I need to get one of the boot managers working. I am thinking about reinstalling again because of the strange error I got but I do not know if that is a good thing to do at this time or not. Thanks for the help.

Debian vs. Caldera
Here is my opinion on the different dist. of Linux that I have used over the years. Caldera Standard: Great if you never need technical support, modifiy your system, or want any documentation that is acurate. Since I do not know of anyone that can say that, I would not recomend it. Red Hat: Good distrubution. Installs easy, has good documentation, is really useable from the first reboot. It's update and packaging system is not very good. I have had a lot of trouble upgrading the system from version to version. Other then that, it works well. Slackware: Installs well, has very good doc's, and works well from the first reboot. It has no upgrade capability, and is difficult to get X to work just the way you want it. Debian: Installs well, has good doc's, and is very easy to modify. The upgrade system works very well with the utilities available. I have upgraded through mager versions with no problems. The only problem is when you get to the first reboot you hav quite a bit of configuration to do to get a really usable system. The upside of that is you have learned a lot from the configuration and will have no trouble in the future modifications. I hope this helps, I have been lucky in the fact that I have had the opertunity to run different dist. side by side for quite a while. That gave me a chance to compare them well.

OK Sten Anderson; Thanks for the idea, how would I copy the disks from the cd to the hard drive? Or can I tell LILO to boot the cd files?

WINE useage
If this is not the place to ask this please point me in the right
direction. BTW I am not new to Linux and it's way of handling
questions.
Here it goes:
I downloaded the latest version of Wine from the Wine web page. I
extracted it and read the readme file for compiling it. I found out
that I needed xpm and the x lib development on my system. I then went
to dselect and installed the two libraries. I then ran config and
make depend and make. somewhere in the middle of it the make crashes
saying 'ld: cannot open -lXpm No such file or directory'.
Is there something that needs to be put in from the package system?
Maybe someone else has had good luck at compiling the 0118 wine file.
Any help would be beautiful

Samba and LyX
Hi Debian! I was using Slackware for the last 2 years and have switched to Debianbecause of your package install program. I love it! I do have a couple of questions: 1. I use NT as a network here(choke). So I need the Samba routiens running. Although on Slackware I had some other problems with it (probably the version levels I was using), On this one I cannot see long filenames. I am using the smbmount command like I am supose to and I compiled the smb support into the kernal. I figure that it is something simple but I do not know. 2. In Slackware I could never get LyX to work at all. I installed it on Debian and it worked! Thanks for that much. But today I powered up and none of the keys work at all! I do not know why but for some reason the keyboard is dead in only that program. What would cause this? Thanks to everyone that made Debian. It is an exelent system.

I did a no-no and acidently removed my printer routines (opps). So since I was in the ftp update I figured that I would re-install apsfilter. I cannot because the gsfonts file is to old! I know that I could go back to my old version but I would like to upgrade it since I need to install it again anyway. How do I get the upgraded files? Brian Schramm PS. I am ftped to the debian.org site. -- For more info please see http://www.csd.net/~bschramm/home Or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Help with Laserjets
Hi, I would like to connect my Linux machine to a HP Jetdirect card. I know it means setting up bootp and setting up the printercap files special. I just cannot find any info on how to do that.

HELP! Crashed system
I installed Debian from my infomagic cd that had version 1.1.4 on it. It worked but I needed some new packages so I FTP'ed to Debian.org. I let it update all selected files and now dselect will not work any more. I have also found out that mc sill not work. Both were working before. What has happened? Can anyone tell me how to get to a working system from this point? Thanks for any help. Brian Schramm -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Suggestion: *Professional* CD distributions
This is a very good point and I would like to bring up another point. I am using OS/2 as well as Linux and am slowly changing over to Linux full time. I would also like to be involved in making the docs for a 'professional' release. The other thing that I feal Debian needs to come up with a way of configuring it to use NTS and Novell servers on install. I am looking at default configuration files and others to work from. So when you install the package, it will ask questions or poll the network for settings that would at least make it work (maybe not good but at least it is there). This would make it a little easyer to have as a workstation/server on the 'normal' lan invironments.

Problem with mail
I am having some problems with my pine system and netscape mail system. I am running debian potato using the same home directory as I was using in slink. Pine: Pine keeps asking me to save my sent-mail folder into the aug backup folder every other time I start the program. I do that and it is fine for that run. Then the next time I start pine it tells me that I need to delete the aug folder to conserve disk space. I have 250 meg free on that drive so it should not be concerned with disk space. This is a continues pattern since the first of this month. Netscape: I cannot find any of my folders nor can I delete messages. Keep in mind that all the mail systems on my system works through imap. I also have one other user on the system and they are working fine in netscape. That is the only mail program that they use. Also, keep in mind that the users are local so there is no diference on the program end in that way. Please help. Thanks for any help you give. Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
Sun xterm revisited.
OK. I asked for help once before on this. I now need this fixed so I am back to it. I have Debian potato running at this time. I did use Debian slink working fine. I saved the etc and other configuration data off the old slink system on CD so I could use it to rebuild my system with. I have everything set up the way that I had it before and am still not able to get the Sun xterms working. I have set the tty0, tty2 and console on the xterm directory and the debian directory to be readwrite by the world. I still get the same error messages. I have run through all my thoughts on this and I have not gotten anywhere. I think the xfs is working but that is one of the error messages. Here is the error messages on the console of the bootp computer: fh_verify: dev/tty2 permission failure, acc=8, error=30 fh_verify: dev/console permission failure, acc=8, error=30 fh_verify: dev/tty0 permission failure, acc=8, error=30 Here is the error messages on the Xterm boot screen: pexextensioninit: couldn't open default pex font file roman_mcouldn't load xkb keymap, falling back to pre-xkb keymap xdmcp fatal error: manager unwilling host unwilling I hope this helps.

2gig file
OK. I am dealing with a 2gig file size limit on Linux. I have been reading up on this all day to very little luck as to how to fix it. If I recomend someone to go to debian for an upgrade will this fix it? I am after any fix I can get and at this time changing dist. is just as good for me as anything else. Please someone help me see the lite on this. Thanks Brian -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
Monitoring program
Is there a program that I can run in Linux that will tell me if there is a disk in a floppy or a cd in a cdrom drive on a machine? I control machines remotly and it would be nice to know if someone stuck a disk in a drive that has the potencial of booting off it so I know if a reboot will do what I want. Brian Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
Re: Monitoring program
That only works on normal floppies. If I have a boot floppy in there that was created a special way most systems will not mount them directly. But they will still boot from them.

Problem with upgrade and xterm
OK, I had a working Debian slink system that allowed 2 Sun Xterminals to work off of it. I had a problem with my hd so I rebuilt the system from scratch not knowing what has been damaged (yes I am running with no backups). Since the Potato reliese is close to done, I desided to take this time and upgrade too. I have configured everything with the same paramiters (I think) and am using the same slxt package for the xterm system. For some reason it is not working. I get the normal boot messages on the xterm but it never loads the kdm login manager. Here is what is displayed on the main computer monitor at that time: fh_verify: dev/tty2 permission failure, acc=8, error=30 fh_verify: dev/console permission failure, acc=8, error=30 fh_verify: dev/tty0 permission failure, acc=8, error=30 I am at a loss. Can anyone help? Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
xfs servers
I am not able to get the xfs or xfs-xtt packages to work on Potato. They load but when I try to test them with "fslsfonts -server localhost:7100" it fails. Also, my xterm tells me it cannot get the fonts. What do I need to do in order to get this working? Thanks Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
HELP!
I am cofiguring a potato system for xfs-tt use and I cannot seem to get it to work. I run kde as a desktop as well as gnome. I cannot seem to get the fonts that I have told it about to list in eather desktop. Also, my Xterminals are not working. They stop at the point to request the fonts and the font server is not there. Any ideas? Brian Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
Serial/modem experts
OK, I would like to use a multiport serial board to connect more then 1 modem to my Linux machine to dial into the same provider to try to get faster net access. I know that equ will handle making the modems act as one but I do not know how good it is. This is about the only afordable solution that I have at this time so I need to know how it works in the reliability side of things. Is there a problem with wetting up the system for dyn. DNS? Is there a performance hit? Does it take a high powered machine or can it run good on a 486 firewall? Has anyone got a setup like this working well? Is there a modem max to it? Thanks.

SCSI & SCSI emulation
I am running Potato with a IDE cdrom writer and I just got the Tekram DC390U2W SCSI card so I can get some SCSI devices to run. I have tried several drivers (Tekram web site) and biltin kernel drivers to get the card to work. I finally ended up with turning off the scsi emulation in the kernel to get it to work. Is there any way that both can exist with each other? I need both for what I am doing and rebooting is such a waist of time. Thanks for your help. Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
KDE2
I have a Debian Potato system fully up to date. OK. I read the reviews, I read the how install its. I installed the deb files. I cannot get any help on any kde aplication. There is no way that I can find to change the buttons arround on the windows. And there is no way to save the preferences on kword like tabs, indent, et. This is not the qualitly that I expected. Please tell me that there is something wrong with my install. And maybe how to fix it. Thanks Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
Problem with sound
I am running Potato with 2.2.17 for a kernel and KDE2 as my desktop. I have a cs4232 audio card. When I was running Slink I had no trouble running the audio card but when I upgraded, I have not been able to get it to work at all. If I cat a audio file out to /dev/audio the device is always busy. KDE2 does not drive it eather. I can still play audio CD's on it but that does not use the audio card. Can anyone tell me where to go from here? I have tryed different settings with no luck. Thanks.

Problem with boot
I am running Potato. I have my kernel customised so I can write to my ide cd-rom. I also am running a 45G ide drive. If I install the kernel from the deb file and tell it to make a boot floppy and a lilo image everything works. But if I run lilo or try mkboot that does not work. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and how I can doplicate the job that the deb package does? I hate to re-install my kernel just because I needed to change something in lilo.conf. Thanks for the help. Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
Re: Problem with boot
What I am talking about is I built the kernel using make-kpkg kernel_image and that creates a deb file for me to install. The problem is that the lilo utility at the command prompt does not install right and the mkboot command from the command prompt does not make a bootable system for me but the programs that are used when you install the deb file that the above command makes works with no trouble. I would just like to know the commands that it uses so I can use it to do the changes when I make them instead of using the lilo or mkboot commands. I also wanted to point this problem out so we can get it fixed in the next reliese.

ISDN and Sprint
I live in a Sprint controled area. They are offering a good deal on ISDN for my area but I cannot find out if Linux can handle the ISDN modem that they are offering with the service. The modem is: Eicon Diva t/a modem I am planing on setting the link up on a 486 running debian striped to use as a firewall and email server to my network. I will be using my other machines to run programs and GUI's on. 1. is this a standard modem? 2. can I use another modem? Like an internal? 3. Telco equipment can allways be more expencive then nessasary, can I buy this modem from another source? 4. Where can I find info on using this type of modem on Linux? 5. Any gotas on running a serial device for a 128K connection? Thanks in advance for helping. -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
