SMC Ether Power II problem
Hi everyone, I have a problem with my SMC Ether Power II PCI card. It doesn't work. Could anyone tell me if LINUX supports this hardware and if it does what to do to set it up. Thanks for your help! Robert

You get these errors (sometimes) when suing to a normal user from another normal user, eg: /home/jim has permission 700 (drwx--) and I'm in /home/jim (and I AM jim ;) I do 'su bob', enter the correct password, and I get those messages.

I'm not entirely sure, though I remember once getting duplicate pings from a mac we have here at work. Upon investigation, it turned out that the mac was running 'virtualpc' (same idea as vmware), and both the mac and the virtual win95 running on it were responding to the pings.

Re: 64 Kbps Leased connection - HELP
Well, your first big clue as to how the interface will work out is the addresses you've been assigned. If you've been provided a range of 16 addresses, they're most likely giving you a subnet of a larger network with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.224. This will provide 16 addresses, although only 14 are useable (the high address in the range is the broadcast, the low is the network or "wire" address -- note that you can sometimes get away with using the wire address, but this is not the recommended process). In order to do this, they're most likely going to provide you with a router and a DSU. The circuit will go into the DSU, the DSU will connect to the serial port on the router. Your network will connect to the router via whatever LAN port they provide for you. You need to setup your proxy or whatever machine you have sitting between your network and the Internet so that it's default gateway points to the LAN interface on the router, which must be addressed on the same IP network as the LAN interface (ie two of your 14 available addresses are eaten by the router and the proxy). The rest of your client machines need to have their gateway addresses set to the private network address of the proxy machine. Basically, a client request will go the the proxy, have it's address changed to a that of the proxy server, the proxy will send the request to the router, which will forward the packet to where-ever it needs to go-- this is of course gross oversimplification.

Re: ftp proxy
This one works for me, so assuming your ftp proxy uses the normal [EMAIL PROTECTED] login, just set the ftp host to be the proxy server, or proxy:port if required, and the username as [EMAIL PROTECTED] my settings are: ftp site: green:2121 passive: y username: [EMAIL PROTECTED] password: (normal email address) where green is the name of my proxy server, and 2121 the port that the ftp proxy listens on.

Apache
Hello all. Hopefully this is a simple question, but I'm relativly new to Linux.. I have a fairly minimal installation of stable debian, as I'm short of disc space. ie, no X, no compiler, no man pages. (It's a 486/25 with 80Mb although I have a spare 120Mb disc I havn't tried adding yet -that's another question!) I have been using the apache web server, though. I notice from www.apache.org that they are currently up to version 1.2.4, wheras the package I installed from ftp.debian.org is apache 1.1.3-6, and doesn't support some of the "version 1.2 and above" commands I was trying to use. Not having a compiler installed, I can't just download the updated source, and the binaries don't include debian. Question is: can I use one of the other linux binaries, or is apache 1.2 or later available pre-compiled as a debian package somewhere else, or can someone out there assist me in compiling and installing the later version some other way?

diskless workstation?
I have a spare 486 that I would like to utilise in some form for debian. Unfortunatly, it has no hard disc, although it does have a network card. The rest of the network consists of an NT4 server, two W95 workstations, and another debain (hamm) box, which currently talks to the others via basic TCP/IP services (ftp etc), and samba. Is there a simple way of creating a boot floppy that will get enough off the ground to load the rest of linux off one or other of the other systems (presumably the other debian box!) or do I have to scrounge another hard disc..

Two Net Cards problem
I have just tried adding a second network card to my linux machine, and am
having a few problems.
I am running all hamm software, although I think some modules have been
updated since I installed it some weeks ago. The original card in the
machine was a basic NE2000 clone. I have added a Racal Interlan NI6510ES.
I have had both cards working individually in the system without problems.
On boot up, both cards were recognised automatically, I did not need to
change the con figuration. The Lance drivers see the Racal card some time
before the ne drivers see the NE2000 clone, and they are given names eth0
and eth1 respectivly. Originally, with the NE2000 only in the system, this
was eth0.
I adjusted /etc/init.d/network manually to move the eth0 code to eth1, for
the internal network, and added the code for eth0 for my internet link. I
had to do this because only the NI6510 has the utp connection I need for
the external link.
Now, the internal network still works, on eth1, but I can't get any life
out of the internet link. I know the link itself is OK, as it's currently
in use from an NT machine that I anm trying to replace here. I'm just
plugging it in when I want to test it. Pinging any external address,
including same-subnet stuff, doesn't get any responses, and it seems from
ifconfig that the packets are going out the wrong interface.
I know it must be something simple I have done wrong, but I can't for the
life of me see what. I'm sure it will be obvious to someone there..
Thanks
Rob.

Using More than one Ethernet Card per Machine yep.. read that, was trying to do that when I realised that it had found both cards anyway. Maybe because one's a Lance and one's an NE card; I dunno. I did read in the hardware compatibility how-to, however, that the NI6510 is only semi-supported, although hamm seems quite happy with it. I have had it as the only card, linked to the local network instead of the internet, and it worked perfectly. I have also had both cards in place, and swapped over the config, and it worked. So I know the card is basically OK. The only difference between the internet use and the local use is the local network is coax, and the cable modem needs a RJ45. But the (dos based) setup utility tells me it's set to "Auto detect" anyway.. >I bet you could have kept eth0 like it was with some lilo options, but >can't guarantee this since I'm not really an expert in these (both lilo >and multiple ethernets) areas. > >HTH, >Brandon > Thanks again for the response.

large drives with linux / LBA
Hello all, I am going to be using linux to set up a small intranet web server/mSQL DBserver for a client of mine and have a bit of concern about the system i have scoped to use. they have an old dx-33 with 20mb ram that isn't doing anything which should really be fine for what i'm thinking about setting up. (any concerns?) only problem is that it only has a 128MB drive in it that i would like to be at least a 540MB. of course i can't find anything smaller than a 1.6GB these days. Because the motherboard is an old VESA thing (as is the IDE controller) I am worried that it's BIOS won't support LBA. if this is the case will it be a problem? is there something that i can do to get around this? am i going to have to upgrade the motherboard to something newer?

EhterLink XL PCI TPO 3C900-TPO Ethernet Card
Hi All, I'm new to this, just installed debian Linux from the CD for the first time yesterday. During the installation, it prompted me for my Ethernet Card type. Unfortunately, I have the type of card listed in the subject line, and this card was not in the list of available options. Does anyone have any information regarding this card? If there's a FAQ out there that answers this and other stupid questions I'm most likely going to ask, please feel free to direct me to it.

Linux and ADSL
Hi there, My local phone company is offering internet access through ADSL and I'm considering hooking up with them.

Backup system
Hi there, I would like to set up a simple Backup system for a linux server I'm setting up. I hear that linux has great support for floppy tape drives. Anyone recommend a good one with least amount of troubles getting to work? The system I would like to set up is to have a cron that backs up the entire drive to tape every 48 hours or so while everyone is sleeping. I would also like to create a boot disk that anyone could use in the event of a hard drive failure. After a new drive was installed the disk would boot, fdisk and format (if possible), and then dump the contents of whatever is on the tape back to the disk. Is this possible? Can anyone suggest what would be the best way to go about setting this up?

Way off topic: humor
Hi all, Thought many of you might enjoy this... if this is a "no no" let me know :) A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communication equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position and course to steer to the airport. The pilot saw a tall building through the fog, flew toward it, circled, drew a hand-written sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign read: "WHERE AM I?" in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it to one of the building's windows. Their sign said, "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER." The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how in the world the "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped him to determine their position. The pilot responded: "I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building because, similar to their help-lines, they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer.

Dual booting Win2k/deb2.2
Hello guys, this is my first time using this mail-user list. I am almost finished building my new PC(waiting on a couple parts), and once its done I will be dual booting win2000/deb. I want to install these OS's on three partitions (win2000, / , /swap) on my RAID0 Array (Highpoint onboard controller). A) How can I install these OS's so that I can have a bootloader ask me which OS I want to boot into at startup? B) Will I have any problems installing/running Deb2.2 on my RAID0 Array (its a dual 30gig IBM Deskstar on an Abit KT7-RAID motherboard) Thanks alot in advance guys! _thaReF
Recommended Partitioning
Hey, im about to install deb2.2, can anyone recommend a specific partitioning scheme? Like if im willing to allocate 20 gigs. I figured id just do 128 for /swap, and the rest to /, but ive had friends tell me they do other partitions like /boot, /user, and /home. What do you guys recommend ? Also, im dual booting next to win2k(dont flame my, I have to do 3d rendering), will I need to make a special boot partition for LILO? I've heard something about /mbr which I dont understand. Will someone clarify this stuff for me? Thanks! _thaReF

Re: DVD-Rom Drive
Hiya, Well, there are hardware decoder boards( DXR2 and DXR3 ) from creative labs. ( i read something today about DXR3 drivers being available, but double check that before you buy anything ) latest model: http://americas.creative.com/pc-dvd/encore-6x/ Also check out http://opensource.creative.com, a couple interesting things. Free software decoders are probabably a ways off, because of the current court battle over whether it is legal to reverse engineer the encryption scheme. This was sparked because of the development of a program (DeCSS) released under the GPL that did just that. The UNIX code is called css-auth-(version).tar.gz, but the legally tenuous position of this software makes it impossible for Debian ( or any other distro ) to carry at this point. However, there are some proprietary products being worked on ( they must use the licensed encryption/decryption algorithm to avoid being prosecuted, and this makes their software non-free AND requires certain royalties, making it very very unlikely that anyone will release an authorized player for no charge ). http://www.opendvd.org has more info on this.

I can't remember the last bug which actually caused me grief. I think it must have been the libfreetype6 one for AA fonts in KDE. But I have been running non-AA KDE for months now. I am currently having a problem with xlibs not getting installed, but it isn't hosing my system. I think (hope?) that the days of "broken bash", and "no more /dev" are over. I will only use Debian unstable from now on. Any other Debian becomes more and more unmaintained as time passes. I can't deal with that. This is my work laptop, and even though it _must_ work all the time, I am quite fine with testing/unstable. rob

What is the status of these packages now. I don't remember problems with perl. Please refresh my memory. I can also say that I have been impressed with how quickly 'big problems' get fixed in Debian. One of the big problems I remember from at least six months ago which left things unusable was actually fixed with an upload by someone other than the package maintainer.

nfs mounting from netapp
Hello, I'm running Debian 2.2 and I'm having a problem mounting an NFS share from a NetApp. I can successfully mount the share ( it is a snapshot directory ) and browse the tree as root, but I cannot read all of the files as root. There is a directory in the share that is owned by UID 1001. If I create a user with this UID on the Debian box, it can read these files fine, but I cannot read the same files as root. When I try as root, I get either Input/Output error or Permission denied ( alternating ) Doing this from a Solaris box works fine as root. Additionally, the man page for mount specifies some options like "uid=0,gid=0,umask=666" that the mount command does not recognize. I do this : mount -o uid=0,gid=0,umask=666 192.168.1.1:/.snapshot /mnt/snapshot I get back : unknown nfs mount parameter: uid=0 Or gid=0, or umask=666, depending on which is first on the command line.

In this situation, I usually use update-rc.d and either stick the init script into a specific runlevel or just remove it from all runlevels. This works fine, however, when I do an upgrade, any packages that are upgraded will put the symlinks back and I will have to remember to use update-rc.d on each package that was upgraded. Since I use stable and track security, this happens enough to be a major pain. Is there a "right" way to do this? I don't want to put packages on hold or anything, because I do want them to be upgraded, but I want my configuration of the init system to be honored. Thanks in advance, Rob Helmer P.S. Please CC: me as I am not currently subscribed to debian-user
[mluca@canada.com: Re: init scripts]
Oh, I've been using update-rc.d remove instead of update-rc.d stop... So packages will not turn the services back on if there is a K symlink? Cool. Thanks!

Re: Samba Setup
Hi Jay, I assume you are trying to configure samba through SWAT.. ( I like using the manpage and editing smb.conf, but that's me :) Is SWAT in your /etc/inetd NOT commented out ( without a # in front of it ), is inetd running, which port are you trying to connect to?

Re: Samba Setup
Odd.. I don't have netscape 4.x installed, but the newest mozilla. I installed swat to test it out ( I am on woody ), hmm.. do you have nmap installed? sending the output of `nmap localhost` might help, just to ensure that SWAT is running on port 901. Hmm, the "Broken Pipe" error does seem to indicate some other problem.. perhaps use 'nmap localhost` and `lynx localhost:901` and post the output to the list, that should make things more apparent..

Re: Samba Setup
Hi Jay, Well, to install nmap do `apt-get install nmap` Might as well get it, it as a good tool. But from that lynx error it sounds like there is something wrong with SWAT. What version of Debian are you using? Perhaps `apt-get remove samba` then `apt-get update` then `apt-get install samba` will help, there is a possibility that there was a bug in a samba package built at one time... this will make sure you are installing the newest version of samba for your Debian version...

Re: Samba
Do you have the 'interfaces=x.x.x.x/xx' set correctly in your /etc/samba/smb.conf ? Be sure that you have an interface that can access the IP address/netmask you substitute for x.x.x.x/xx ..

Re: less and color
My issue with this is that while -- ls --color=always | less -r -- works nicely, -- ls --color=always > file.txt -- does not ( color codes ). I would like to include aliases to 'ls' and 'less' in my login profile to have '--color' and '-r' respectively, but run into the aforementioned problem. I feel too conditioned to type 'ls --color=always | less' in place of 'ls | less', but maybe that's just me ;) I suppose an "alias 'lsl=ls --color=always | less -r'" does the trick, but I would rather not use non-standard directory listing commands. whatever. Maybe some way to make 'less' pretend to be a tty ( !? ) would let 'ls --color=auto' work? -rob On Thu, Jan 27, 2000 at 03:47:33PM +0100, Matus fantomas Uhlar wrote: > -> I have got the same problem with 'more' and 'less' too. > -> > -> How did you configure 'ls' for displaying colors when piping to 'more' ? > > -> I have setup the ls command to use the display color option using an > -> alias.

Re: Apache2 'SSLEngine on' not working in testing
Hi Jake, I am having the same problem. After an upgrade to Apache2 2.0.51-2 (testing) my ssl site also does not work. I haven't gone so far as to purge and reinstall the packages yet. Using netstat -l does not show anything listening on my port 443. There doesn't seem to be anything in my apache logs that would indicate either that the ssl version of the server has started or not started except for the lack of hostname warning. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: [OT] Mozilla/Java: xpicleanup.dat files wanted
Here is the problem. When you close the browser it goes through some sort of cleanup process. When you are logged on to a limited user account you cannot launch the browser. Every time you try to you get a message that a previous installation has not finished. And if you try to click on the icon again you get the same message. When you go to the Task Manager you see a process running called XPICleanup. Every time you get the error message from trying to launch the program their would be that many XPICleanup processes running. e.g. you try to launch the program 3 times it would appear 3 times on the process list. Now this is very annoying especially when you have other family members that do not have Admin rights to use the Browser. If you log onto an account that has administrator rights, then switch users and go back to the limited user it would then launch. However if you were to close the browser you would end up in the same loop of endless errors on trying to re-launch the Browser. Any assistance would be appreciated. Oh I submitted this recently and no one replied to my E-Mail to help resolve this problem. I have always been an avid Netscape user, as I prefer using this browser when compared to IE, and I do not want to have to switch back to 7.2 or start using IE. Please help me resolve this ASAP. Sincerely, Robert R Coccaro Jr. getting the same errors that

If you've managed to get full ISO C++ compliance working, then send your patch to both the Debian maintainer and GNU, they will love you for it :) -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/ msg31266/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Also, it's endian-safe, which reiser isn't.

Also, if he'd used aptitude to manage his packages (either the curses interface, or the apt-get-clone CLI) then just removing the 'kde' metapackage would clear it all out for him. -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/ msg31271/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Any sort of solution you come up with will just be some poor imitation of NAT. You can either use the 'ipmasq' package (which does most everything automatically) or install a caching DNS server on PC_1 and point PC_2 at that. -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/ msg31272/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
