[Linux 2.6] racoon questions
Hi
This is a little OT for debian-user but i hope here are some with the native
kernel 2.5/2.6 implementation of IPSec
Im not sure if i got the real purpose of racoon.
I have here debian unstable with kernel 2.6.0-test8 and ipsec-tools 0.2.2
installed. I'd like to establish a VPN connection to my University via the
native Ipsec stack and the kame tools.
The university providides a CISCO VPN userspace programm to do that. This
vpnclient doesn not work with Kernel 2.5/2.6
My question: Are the KAME tools (especially racoon) able to do the same thing
as "vpnclient" from cisco?
I red many guides and tried many configs but never got it worked. I even never
got racoon to try to establish a ipsec connection.
Is racoon only here to do vpn between 2 racoons or also "normal" VPN
connections like "vpnclient" from CISCO?
The only info i have from my Univerity are the vpn-servername, my username and
my password. There are no certs or such stuff.
I'll append my config files. racoon.out holds the output of "racoon -F" As you
can see there is no error but i can ping "vpn-cluster.ethz.ch" as long as i
want racoon does nothing... ipsec is a script wich sets the security
policies.
cheers,
Raffaele

Time is runnign too fast
Hi I have a problem on my laptop. Almost every time its running on batteries the time runs twice or more as fast as it should. It almost everytime happens if i plug AC on while its running... Im sure thats a stepping problem (laptops runns at higher freq with ac plugged in). Is there a way to fix this. Linux has to know when the CPU stepps to recalculate the time. I use kernel 2.6.0-test8 with SID. cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Annoyed about M$ Windows? Don't worry. Try Linux!

hotplug netwotk interfaces
Hi Is it somehow possible to enable a kind of hotplug with the debian interfaces system? If i configure my eth0 device like: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp and i have no network cable pluged in while im starting my laptop then it tries to fetch an ip at startup and if there is no connection it tries very long till it gives up. Is there a config method that this process is completly backgrounded? The interface should always be activce and as soon as i plug a cable in it should gather an IP imediatly (like on Win2k). Second case: wireless card. If we have a pcmcia wireless card and plug it into a running system a new interface is created. Is there a method to let the debian interface system react on that? As soon as i plug in my wireless card it should set it up and gather an IP via dhcp. I cant just enter that device into the interfaces file because it does not exist while the card is not pluged in. cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Annoyed about M$ Windows?

Disable a Flat Screen
Hi I'm wondering if there is a method to disable a built in flat screen (on a laptop). I'm thinking of something like dpms. Win32 know a method (i don't kniw how) but when my laptop stands around doing nothing the screen never shuts down in linux mode. Is there a method/tool/XFree86 extension to do so? "xset dpms force suspend|off" does nothing on my laptop here. cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Annoyed about M$ Windows? Don't worry. Try Linux!

Kernel problem using Dell Laptop
Hi
I experience some problems installing Linux on an Dell Inspiron 5150.
I used the cd image from http://people.debian.org/~blade/XFS-Install/ to get
XFS support. This image uses an altered 2.4.20-bf24 kernel. With it
everithing works fine. But my laptop has an /*%&(ç("/%ç&*(//& Broadcom 4400
eth adapter buitin wich is supportet from kernel version >= 2.4.22. So i took
the kernel config from the kernel from the XFS image and built a 2.4.22
kernel with the kernelpackage. The only thing i changed was to build the
bcm4400 driver as a module. i installed the debs (via CD) on my laptop.
After restart i get the following message (without a kernel panic) and the
kernel stops:
cpu: 0, clocks 0, slice 0
i have no idea what this means since the cpu setting is set to 486...
BTW: i have tried to compile a module version of the bcm4400 driver for the
2.4.20-bf24-xfs kernel but when i send data to the netowork i get a kernel
panic.
cheer,
Raffaele

Kernel 2.6 and modutils
Hi I tired to install a 2.6.0-test4 (debain release) kernel. After the reboot i was not able to use the modutils (and all modules) at all. It says that "QM_MODULES" is not implementet. After some googling around i know that modultis need to be patched to work proper with the 2.6 kernel. Since debian ships the 2.6 kernel im wondering if there is also a patched version of modutils around or what would be the debian way to thing running? cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Annoyed about M$ Windows?

How to include the experimental distribution
Hi The expertimental distribution should be locatet on many mirror at "debian/ projects/experimental". I wondering how i should access this place through apt. A line like deb /debian/projects experimental main contrib non-free does not work because APT searches for the "dists" directory. A line like deb /debian/projects/experimental/main/binary-i386/ ./ does also not work because APT cat find the real packages witch are localet in the pool secrions.

NVIDIA drivers
Hi I would like to inastall the native nividia driver onto my debian box. I use unstable there and i saw that there are packages containing the latest debian driver. However these packages are broken (nvidia-glx depends on a non-existend package). Since i need this driver im asking u how i should install this driver with maintaining the debian way? Im afarid of installing that .run file provided by nvidia. I dont know what they are installing.

Easy way to share deb files?
Hi Im looking for an easy method to share debian files. Im running several sid machines here. I used to upgrade them every week. Till now i did a dist-upgrade on evey machine wich the downloads all the packages on its own. All these machines have many identical packages installed. Since APT saves each deb file it downloads it would be cool to do the upgrade the one machine and let the others use that one as "source" and try to get all packages from there and only download packages wich are not avail on the first machine...

confused about /dev/input/mice
Hi Im not sure if I got that right. Every mouce device accessed through HID can be accessed via /dev/input mice. Is that right? Im experiencing some problems here. I try to setup my laptop wich has an internal touchpad, connected via PS/2, and an external Logitech mouse connected via USB. I run a debian kernel 2.6.0-test4 here. Getting the USB mouse to work was no problem: loading the uhci_hcd.ko and the hid.ko kobject file and the mouse worked perfectly and i can use it via /dev/input/mice. My problem is the touchpad. HID successfully detect it if i insert psmouse.ko i get: Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Firware: 5.9 Sensor: 37 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits -> multifinger detection -> palm detection input: Synaptics Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1 I can do on my touchpad what i want the cursor does not move. Whats the problem here? Should the touchpad be accessed via another node? Or isn't it propper detected? I thought /dev/input/mice should make the mouce transparent to userspace programms like X or gpm... cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Annoyed about M$ Windows? Don't worry.

It is a part of input and i cant find any section of the traditional input system in the 2.6 kernel configuration. /dev/psaux is only used by input as a somewaht clone of /dev/input/mice. That means that it also outputs the data from my USB mouse and not the ps2 touchpad. The problem must be somewhere else. The input system detects my ps2 touchpad i get no error message somewhere... i dont know if i have to switch somehow between these devices... very strange. -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Annoyed about M$ Windows?

Kernel 2.6: Using an USB mouse and an touchpad at the same time
Hi I have kernel version 2.6-test6 installed on my Dell Inspiron 5150. I can access my USB mouse via /dev/input/mice and my touchpad via the event device and a special Xfree86 driver for the touchpad. I'm wondering if some of u guys have managed to get the touchpad and the USB mouse working at the same time. Im thinking of a situation like in Win32 systems where i can move the cursor with the mouse and the touchpad at the same time. Its annoying to restart X server with another config only because i plugged or unplugegd my USB mouse. The difficoulty is deffinitly that we are talking about more than one interface (mice and eventX). In kernel 2.6 all devices were mapped through the standart ps2 device /dev/ psaux. This old fashioned interface is no more present in the new kernel. Every input is now managed via HID.

PS/2 and IMPS/2 mice
Hi I did several tests here with our different PS/2 mice. I had the problem, that not every mouse was usable trough XFree86 with the same config. I found out that i am able to use every PS/2 mouse with eather ther "PS/2" driver or the "IMPS/2" driver (im talking about the "Protocol" option in the XF86Config of Xfree 4.2.1). All older mice _only_ worked with the PS/2 driver and all newer mouse (logitech weel mouse, M$ weel mouse and co) worked _only_ with the IMPS/2 Driver. That means that i am not abel to use the PS/2 driver vor every mouse. As we have _many_ systems here and i don't want to stick a mouse deffinitly to a computer I need something wich is able to probe if there is a newer or older mouese connected to the system and wrtites the correct values to the XF86Config. Is there something like that in the Debian dirsti wich could be automatically run on sartup? If not, does somebody have an idea how i could solve that issue? cheers, Raffaele -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.

As i tried to patch the kernel i run into difficoulties: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/kernel-source-2.4.21$ cat patch.log | grep FAILED Hunk #1 FAILED at 8. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file include/asm-i386/kmap_types.h.rej Hunk #2 FAILED at 255. 1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file init/main.c.rej Hunk #2 FAILED at 2960. Hunk #3 FAILED at 2981. Hunk #4 FAILED at 3159. 3 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file mm/filemap.c.rej I tried a original 2.4.21 kernel and the patch worked. I'd like to use the debianized kernel and so im asking if theres somone who made that? Is it clean to hack the files and simply put the rejects in? I want this approved by someone before i spend time in destroying my system :)) cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Annoyed about M$ Windows? Don't worry. Try Linux!

libacl1 (sid)
Hi I like to compile my own version of cyrus-sasl but the package wants heimdal-dev installed. However i am not able to install heimdal-dev cause it depends on libacl1-kerberos4kth-dev wich depends on libacl1-kerberos4kth wich conflicts wich confilcts with libacl1. libacl1 can not be removed cause it is a core bakcage and would remove nearly the whole system. Is this a package bug or a joke? :)) Should i simply force heimdal-dev and libacl1-kerberos4kth dev to install? cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Annoyed about M$ Windows?

OO and locales

Formating a big partition with mke2fs
hi I tried to format a 40GB partition with mke2fs. I typed: mke2fs -b 4096 -i 4096 After writing 135 of 12215 (or similar) tables the programm processes very slow and was not finished after one hour formating... after one hour it was on the 145 table.

unstable packages for woody
Hi I'd like to install licq 1.2.6 on my woody box. Its not avalible as binary package for woody. Ok i could install it from unstable and would have to update some other files (libc) to get it installed. If i dont want to mix my woody box with unstable libs (and i don't want to do that) i could download the source by hand from licq.org and compile it (i would need the kde and qt dev files). Sice the debian installation system is one of the most genious systems in the computer world im sure that there is an automatet method for this issue. E.g. compile the package on my box with woody incs and libs. Is there a "debianized" method or do i have to use the old-fashioned-self-compiling way? cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Annoyed about M$ Windows? Don't worry. Try Linux!

Screen blanking on logout
Hi Debian uses getty as the tty program. Getty does not blank the screen when its invoked. Other distri namely SuSE, take mingetty for that job wich is able to blank the screen. I did not find an option wich lets getty blank the screen so wich are my options to get that feature? write a script wich firstly runs clear and the getty and take that one in the inittab or do i have to use mingetty to get the screen blanked? cheers, Raffaele -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It can be changed by the user. It has to be "over the user-level". I solved it with this script: - #!/bin/bash clear exec /sbin/getty 38400 $1 - And in the inittab i have then: 1:2345:respawn:/root/bin/shell tty1 The disadvantage about this approach is that if i loose the "shell" script i wont be able to log into my system without tweaking with a second system... cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Annoyed about M$ Windows?

Is Rsync able to cache filelists?
Hi I'm running an rsync server here (rsync in deamon (inetd) mode). Everytime i connect with a client it creates a filelist. My Rsync server is an older machine so this process takes a major part of the whole transmission time. Is there a way to get the server to store the filelist in a kind of a cache? So that only the client has to figure out wich files it needs and the server can use its cache. cheers, Raffaele -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

supersuer by a normal user with chmod
Hi On normal homedirs the owner of the files is the owner of the homedir. That means he/she can alter the file permissions in the files he/she ownes (with chmod) I tested the following: As a normal user i crated a file in my homedir. % touch test I changed it to a exec file. % chmod 700 test No i set the superuser bit % chmod +s test It worked(!). That means that a user can download for example a BASH binary and set the superuser bit for it ans has root privileges ??!!

Centralized user-database: LDAP vs. KerberosV5 vs. AFS
Hi I try to evaluate wich is THE user database and login system. I read many docs and tried it for myself. I ask here for your thoughts about that. First some of mine: LDAP: This is deffinitly a cool method. Its very simple and very secure due its high SSL encryption. And through the possibility of NSS_LDAP virtually every application will automatically support that and due the nature of LDAP you are able to store all sort of information about the user in the LDAP tree. KerberosV5: Also a somewhat simple method. Also (very) secure. Has a different approach (its ticket system). Is fully compatible with AFS. Perhapps compatible with other systems like Win32. But you still need a passwd file to store special user data, right? AFS: The old approach. Somewhat secure. Is also (no, really? :-) ) compatible with AFS. It uses a modified Krbv4 system. It should be also very protable through all sorts of Unixes and Win32. Need of a passwd file. Conclusion: Out of this information i would prefer the LDAP Approach but what is if you want to use AFS as distributed filesystem and LDAP as user-database? Then you need to maintain 2 user-databases or is there a way to get AFS working with LDAP? You see, there are lots of points to view at! Have i missed an important other approach?

How to use Exim with GMX and other quests
Hi all I have some Exim questions. I comming from a SuSE system wich uses Sendmail so i have very little knoledge about exim. First of all: I use Kmail to get my mail via POP3. I use a relay, mail.gmx.ch, for outgoing mail so i chose option 3 in eximconfig. If i try to send a local email (via Kmail) i.e to [EMAIL PROTECTED] then exim doesn't send anything. If i type sendmail -bp i get the mail in the queue... How can i say exim to deliver the mail.? Secnd problem. GMX uses the today non-standard to login via SMTP (RFC-2554) as lots of cliants can do that. Is it possible to give exim a username and a password to login in the smarthost? General question: Is better to use sendmail than exim i thought to use exim because the debian developpers would have thought something before they decided to use it apart of sendmail... Thanks a lot. Cheers, Raffaele -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
GCC and EGCS
Hi all I am really confused over the different compilers wich seems to be together. Does EGCS exist today? or is it included in GCC. Many software recomments to be compiled with egcs (???). I have GCC 2.95.2 installed on my machine wich seems to be the latest version of GCC. The kernel doc tells me that i have to use GCC 2.72 (???) and only for secondary choice the latest GCC! Could someone solute my confusion? Thanks for every help. cheers, Raffaele -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net

Thanks a lot for your help. I also compile all my stuff on GCC 2.95.2 without having any troubbles at anytime. I'm just wundering what the GREAT difference between the releases could be. I mean the language for example "C" doesn't change... But the changes are as big as the kernel wont compile on GCC 2.96? thats strange to me...

ATAPI Tape "OnStream"
Hi all I have an OnStream Di30 ATAPI Tape. On their website (www.onstream.com) they have some driver patches for the ide-tape driver. In the kernel sources is only version 1.15 of ide-tape included wich doesn't support onstream tapes. The patch on the website is for the 2.2.16 kernel. This patch would update ide-tape to ver. 1.16f with full onstream support. I got errors on trying it on 2.2.18 kernel. Is there a way to get it into the 2.2.18 kernel? cheers, Raffaele

Thats a hard question and depends on tne enterpise where you want to start your career... Generally: You don't need a big knoledge about C but it wouldn't be bad if you "know" the language and the generally system it interduces. System administartor turns more around Accounts, Permissions, Remote Actions and so on... Of Course at UNIX based systems BASH is very important and also PERL. I am programming in C and C++ and i think that this helps me to understand very complex system procedures it makes me thinking more mathematicaly.

Whats the difference or for what are the *.a files and the *.so OR *.dll files used? Could it be true that the *.a files have to be comlield with the SAME compiler than the programm wich uses it but the *.so or *.dll don't. Or is it ture that the *.a files are only used at compile time?

main conf file
Hi I have just a comment now. I love Debian, i really do but i has one major lack. I'm talking about a main rc file like the rc.config on SuSE. In this file should be informations wherer deamons/services should be started or not. That is necessary because, as strang it sounds, there is no reason that i use a package when i install it. I don't understand why this isn't implemented in Debian bcause it would be so easy. I started now to add such options bymyself such as for mysql. There i have a "START_MYSQL=NO" in a /etc/rc.conf file and the init script checks if that is set. I think there is a good reason why this isn't done so. Can anyone tell me them :-)? cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For encrypted Mail get my Public Key from "search.keyserver.net" ID: 0xEC4950E9

GPM and XF86
Hi all I have an IntelliMouse. I use the imps2 protocol with gpm - all works well. I send raw data to /dev/gpmdata... Now, if i choose imps2 at xf86setup and /dev/gpmdata the cursor filps around and nothing works. The same happens if i use ps2 at xfsetup. I tried to use msc to repeat to /dev/gpmdata but this also didn't work. Now i have to shut down gpm then XF works with the imps2 prot on /dev/psaux. Any idea to get that in order? cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Check out the most powerfull Linux desktop at www.kde.org !!

But why is QT trying to link something with KDE libs (kdevelop) i haven't enabled "-kde" in the configure process. The referece errors are often X related. I have X 4.0.2 installed that shouldn't be a problem? Please don't say i shoud take pecompiled .deb QT. I need the original due several resons.
