I have chatted with people at AMD about the AGP bug and they contend
that it is fixed in the in 2.4.20 kernel. Is this true in the debian
2.4.20 kernel sources package? My machine still hangs randomly, and
when it does, XFree86 is running at ~98% cpu.

Re: Desktop hostname?

I use exim on every one of my debian machines. Did you let it know to
use a smart-host? You probably need to know the name of the mail server
at our ISP. 

Regarding your hostname, you can specify what you email address should
be (usually set by your ISP). The local host name shouldn't matter.

Question on Winbind

2003-01-19 Thread Debian User

Hi, I have been pulling out hair on this one.

I am trying to get a debian box to share files to an NT 4 network.  

I installed Samba, works great.  I also installed Winbind and that also 
works, but I have a problem when trying to set file permissions.

When I do a - getent group or a - getent passwd the mappings show from 
the NT PDC but the uid and gid are identical on some users.  Like say 
User1 has a uid of 10004, but looking at getent group shows that 10004 
is the GID for Domain Users on the NT box. So, basically the UID and GID 
are the same for some users and groups.  This is causing a serious 
problem when trying to set permissions on certain folders for users.

All the instructions I have see say to set the lines -- winbind uid = 
1-2 and winbind gid = 1-2 in the smb.conf.

So I figured Linux would give the id numbers a first come first basis, 
but it abviously dosent.

I have completely uninstalled, purged and reinstalled both Samba and 
Winbind, and still the same  mappings.  I have also changed the smb.conf 
file to give completely different mappings of --winbind uid = 
15000-2 - winbind gid = 20001-25000 , but when I do a getent group 
or getent passwd it still shows mappings starting at 1.  I have 
restarted all the related services and rebooted the machine, still no 
luck.  It is authenticating properly to the domain when browsing, but I 
really need to get proper permissions set.  I searched the web for 2 
hours and didn't find a bit of info on this problem.  I'm stuck.

It's as if there is a database file somewhere in the system that has 
kept this information from my orgional install and won't give it up.

Thanks for any help

Having identical numbers for groups and users is not a conflict, it is
numbering different things. You can be user #123 in group #123 or you
can be user #456 in group #789, they do not conflict with each other.

Thanks a bunch Mark, now that I think about it, I guess your correct
about the group UID numbers, I guess I was use to seeing on my local box
totally different numbers in the /etc/group file so I assumed they had
to be different and I kinda changed my direction at that point to solve
the number conflict, when it was actually ok. I also saw other post
that said they had to be different.

All the instructions I have see say to set the lines -- winbind uid =
1-2 and winbind gid = 1-2 in the smb.conf.

try /var/lib/samba/winbindd_idmap.tdb
and /var/cache/samba/winbindd_cache.tdb

for reference you can look at man winbindd for these filenames

Not sure, but my man winbindd file shows locked files for the database,
here is the sniplet,

WINBINDD(8) WINBINDD(8)

$LOCKDIR/winbindd_idmap.tdb
Storage for the Windows NT rid to UNIX user/group id mapping. The lock directory is specified when Samba is initially compiled using the --with-lockdir option. This directory is by default /usr/local/samba/var/locks .

$LOCKDIR/winbindd_cache.tdb
Storage for cached user and group information.
-

Note, this is from the debian package of winbindd.

I did find the .tdb files where you said they would be though, but the man showed different.

Thanks again.

-debuser

I think you should post what your permissions problem is, not the
uid/gid stuff. i.e., you are trying to use acl's and it is not working,
can't create files when viewing the share from windows... you should
have much better luck solving your issue that way.

-Debuser.

Yes, isn't it a great name? :)

Debian + RAID hardware

2003-02-03 Thread Debian User

A little background: A few months back I put together a box to
do some work at the office, nothing earth shattering. the only
thing we had handy at the time was a PC workstation. At
somepoint the Boss was supposed to get me server to replace
it. But he never quite got around to it, just recently the
harddrive has gone kaputt. Luckily I make backups, so all my
scripts and (damn near all) data are safe.
Now (after the crash) they are finally willing to get me a
proper box. I could use some suggestions on what to get. I
don't need more than 1 processor, 1G of RAM is almost a waste,
but what I need are nice, fast, and REDUNDANT disk drives,
preferably hot-swappable.
So anyone who knows of a 2 or 3 U rackmount with a RAID5
controller with hotswap SCSI that will take debian stable,
please let me know. Or even if you have had good experience
with a RAID controller, I could build it myself, the main
thing I am concerned with is that it does RAID5 and is
supported by stable.
Thanks.

Re: Using VIA C3 and Woody?

2003-02-04 Thread Debian User

I have a 733 Mhz C3 at home. The motherboard is a soyo 7VEM.
It is a fairly small board. It has sound and video built in. I
use it as a fileserver, so I never bothered to install X or
sound, so I can't help on those to points. Otherwise a C3
based system is like any other i386 install. I compiled my own
kernel for it afterwards, but I didn't have too, the stock
ones worked just fine. The performance is a bit disappointing.
As a home fileserver it fits the bill, but I tested it with
setiathome and found it did no better than your average K6-2
or K6-3 500~ mhz.

Re: squirrelmail, uw-imapd (and ssl)

2003-02-05 Thread Debian User


Squirrelmail shouldn't do ssl. Squirrelmail will connect to
uw-imapd via the localhost, so you can install uw-imapd (and
block imap port for remote connections). When you config
squirrelmail with the perl script, config it to use https,
then the connection/authentication to squirrelmail is ssl
protected. Also, you don't need to tls nor any special config
to exim/postfix/etc since again squirrelmail connects via
localhost to send email. Exim's default config will relay
localhost.
its a really great solution as squirrelmail is very very
convient since the only client you need is a browser.

The short of it: hotplug appears not to work after I

What happened to linuxconf

2003-10-03 Thread Debian User

hi,
sorry for me beeing called "Debian user" on my system, but i was just a little
inattentive in the base-install and i am just new to linux - after heavy
virus - attacks decided to switch over. Now i don't know how to change my real
name in order to appear correct in Mails send out by mutt again.
I thought of linuxconf, because it runs well with command-line and lynx
isn't so well with webmin, and adduser manpage is just to complicated. I
just want to change the behavior of "Debian User" to "Attila Konietzka", 
Would be nice if anyone could tell me how.
I did an apt-cache search linuxconf and it dind perfectly on stable but on
testing the Message:
"e: Couldn't find Package Linuxconf" 
appeared.

Surely i could edit my /etc/apt/sources.list, change testing to stable do an
apt-get update and
get my linuxconf and do it all the other way round, but for a so tightly
system-integrated tool like linuxconf it all doesn't make sense and looks
primarily like a brillinat idea but infact after looking closer like a 
pseudo-solution, because i don't know of any incompatibilities between stable 
and testing and the interferences that linuxconf might cause on 
a mixed-up-system. 

So if anyone also could be so kind and tell me what has happened to 
linuxconf i'd be very glad.
Please include me in your cc, becuase i'm not subscribed to this list.
thanks and Regards, Attila.

Backup Script

2002-10-19 Thread Debian User

Would anyone happen to know of a ready made backup (tar) script for a 
debian box, something that I could tell to backup to another drive, and 
make full copies with incremental updates throughout the week.  Would be 
nice to have it report to a file too.  I have messed around with using 
tar, but don't know enough to make a nice backup script yet, maybe 
someone already has one made up they could hand out.  Don't want an 
excessive script, just something that gets to the point.

Thanks a bunch

Re: Wireless networking question

2002-10-30 Thread Expert User

Hi,

I have solved this problem with a little different aproach and much less
money. You don't need a wireless accesspoint.

I have 3(xp, xp, linux-mandrake) desktops and 1(linux-debian) server 
at home and a laptop(w2k/RedHat).

Two of the desktops are connected by wire, one is connected with
wireless, laptop can be connected with wire/wireless depending on which
room I am in.

The debian machine has 3 network devices: 
eth0  (eepro100) -to dsl line, 
eth1  (tulip)-to 8 port 100Mbps switch, 
wlan0 (hostap)   -USRobotics Wireless card

The hostap driver is capable of performing all the AP related functions
in software. It works with most PRISM 2/2.5 cards, should work with
orinoco.

eth1 & wlan0 are then bound into a bridge:
/etc/network/interfaces
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
   address 192.168.11.1
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   network 192.168.11.0
   broadcast 192.168.11.255
   bridge_ports eth1 wlan0


I use NAT on br0 to make internet connection available to all my
internal network.

The server also runs:
dhcpd (DHCP server, all the client machines use DHCP to get their
internal IP address)
DNS server
dhcp-dns to update dns entries whenever a new client connects
smtp & imap server for mail.

By creating a bridge, I was able to keep all my client machines on 
the same subnet and saved myself from the routing nightmare.

Re: Linksys 802.11 pcmcia card troubles

2002-10-30 Thread Expert User

After you load the module prism2_pci, you have to run these commands:
I think that's what is there in linux-wlan-ng_pre_up file but you can
always verify:
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid= authtype=opensystem

Are you using wireless_* keywords in the interfaces file?

Web site users, and ftp

2002-11-05 Thread Debian User

So, I have a few users I want to add to my web server, but I have a 
question or two.

So with apache installed, I am not sure where I should store all the web 
data, previously I was storing in /var/www.

I wan't users to be able to upload their content easily without hassle.

Problem 1.  When a user connects thorough ftp, presently they have to 
change to the /var/www/users folder to upload data.  This is a problem 
because not only will they have trouble changing directorys, a smart 
user can browse my entire server from ftp.

Problem 2.  When a user uploads a file, they have to change permissions 
on that file, problem is that a lot of users, will be using Dreamweaver, 
and Dreamweaver requires a Permissions extension to allow changing a 
permission, I don't want to have to explain to them how to use this.

I came from a Micro$oft enviroment where all this mentioned above was 
done automaticly, is there any way to make this an automatic process to 
eliminate the users calling me all the time?

Maybe I should be putting all the web site files in the users home 
directory, that would make the directory change easier, but I don't 
think it will solve the permissions problem.  maybe there is a way to 
make the permissions in the users directory to default to 755 or 
something.  I have been having trouble finding these answers, if there 
is a page I can read, then I will I just need to know where to look.

Thanks for any info.

Re: Web site users, and ftp

2002-11-06 Thread Debian User

Ok, I am having a hard time being new to linux and all.  

Basically I am looking for the Standard procedure for setting up an 
apache server, and ftp for users on a debian box.

Someone first tells me not to use FTP, and use some windows util that 
none of my clients will have.  I am at a loss, isn't FTP what everyone 
uses, they sure did on the window servers I use to administrate.

You have to figure that I am a newbie and I don't know all the different 
ways of doing things, but I was hoping that there was a way that the 
Average administrator would set up things.

I looked into this UserDir module, but I am failing to see how that is 
going to help me, for all it seems to do is map a web site to a users 
directory.  I failed to find a page that explained just what it does, I 
only found reference in experienced terms.

What I need to know is what FTP program would be best to use so that I 
don't have to instruct users on this.
Also need to know where I should store my HTML files. (/var/www) or 
(/home/*user/www) ?
I don't know how to use Umask yet, can this set permissions in a Certain 
directory so that all new files created in that directory are a certian 
permission?

I see much more documentation needed in the Linux world if this is going 
to be easyier on newbies, there is plenty of reference, but the system 
lacks Layman terms, or terms that explain how something works as a 
whole, or how something should be setup for a certain situation.  Maybe 
I am just looking in the wrong spot, but the apache web site dosen't 
seem to help much with how things should be done, they only seem to give 
reference for experiance users and I am far from a experienced user.

Sorry if I sound upset, I am just frustrated spending all day on 
something that takes 5 mintues on a windows server.

Greetings,
	Let the users manage it themselves.  Typically, (to avoid this very
problem), users put their content into a public_html directory, such as
/home/robinson/public_html.  From there they can change the permissions
themselves or you can give then a umask.  The files are available from the
web server at http://servername/~robinson.  I have also done a symlink in
/usr/lib/cgi-bin to a /home/robinson/cgi-bin directory to let them do
cgi-bin work.  Most of these setting are in the plain vanilla settings for
apache.

HTH,

Brooks

Re: Web site users, and ftp

2002-11-06 Thread Debian User





Thanks for the help Mark.

Ok, what I would like to is web/email hosting for friends and a few clients.
(so far email works fine with postfix)

So, they need to have their own private domain name/web site/email per user.

This means they need to have their own container.  (presently I store all
these folders in /var/www)
The users need to be able to upload files into their container without the
help of me. (one user per account).(with ftp they login to their user directory,
they won't know where /var/www is.  Should I add a symlink to /var/www/user_html
in their home directory to solve this).  Samba works great on the network
here, but that won't work accross the Internet for file transfer will it?)

Presently I only use (1) ip address, so far so good.

My Debian box is pretty plain, everything is apt-get installed, nothing compiled
yet.

Ok, so FTP is bad to use,  so what do all these web hosting companies tell
their users to use to upload files?  from what I am finding out, they all
use different procedures with different file transfer clients?

It just seems like I setup this stuff like the majority of other new Debian
users, and it would seem that I am not pioneering anything here, so why all
the diffferent ways of doing things with such a simple setup.

By the way, I have been using Debian for over two years off and on, I read
page after page of documentation, I own about 15 different books on linux
stuff, but I still consider myself a total newb because there is like 500
different ways to do the same thing.  

Note-- I don't get paid to learn any of this, I do all this on my own time.

It depends on what you are trying to do.  Do you need one site per user?
Do you just want an internal webserver for people to publish?

  
  
I don't know how to use Umask yet, can this set permissions in a Certain

Sort of.  umask only works for processes.  So, the trick is to set the
umask for whatever fileserver you end up using to give the permissions
that you want.  samba can do this, I'm sure that ftp servers can, too.

Re: Web site users, and ftp

2002-11-06 Thread Debian User

Ok, I think I might have been beating myself up.

I only have (1) ip address but so far I have got about 5 different
pages up, plus 5 different virtual mail domains up, so no problem there.

I changed apache so that it would look at the /home/user*/web_data
directory. I moved all web data to the appropriate user accounts. The
web pages still work fine now.

I attempted to ftp into one of the user accounts, and I noticed that the
files created from ftping into a users directory default to 755
permissions. When they were uploaded to /var/www/web_data, they had 644
permission level which as you know wont present a web page. so wow,
this will work great, now the user dosen't have to change permissions on
every file they upload.

Now, I am still confused on what is the best way to go about setting
default permissions on new files created in directories other than the
users home directory. Is this what umask can do?

Say I take the example that "Mailing List" wrote, he puts everything
into /home/sites/*domainname/ , I see how this works fine if the ftp is
chrooted to the approprate domain name directory, but I don't see how he
gets around the permissions problem on newly created file when his users
upload their web data.

I'm not sure what he means by,
-

Set the /etc/passwd file to reflect that as user Joes home dir as:
/home/sites/www.domain.com

-
and I still have never used chroot, but I think I understand that it just changes the users home directory to another directory, but wouldn't this mess with the mail settings for postfix, procmail, and squirrelmail if you change your home directory, or does this only take place when you ftp into the server?

hmm

We do it our way, which is similar to Cobalt,

Place all sites under home i.e.
/home/sites/www.domain.com/web
/home/sites/www.domain.com/cgi-bin

Set the /etc/passwd file to reflect that as user Joes home dir as:
/home/sites/www.domain.com

We use ProFTPD and chroot the user to their /home/sites/www.domain.com

In apache just set the scriptalias, documentroot and you should be fine. I
know many are extremely security minded and you can offer to the clients the
option of using ssh to tunnel in or set up SFTP. But for basic, come as you
are hosting whatever directory path is your choice. Pretty simple once you
do a few.

mkboot w/ bzImage?

2002-11-09 Thread Debian User

I just recompiled my kernel under debian woody.  I would like to make
boot floppy for it.  So.. I typed 'mkboot
/usr/src/.../arch/i386/boot/bzImage'.  It made the floppy, but when I
reboot with floppy - it doesn't work.  The kernel appears to load, but
then the screen blanks out and the power cycles.

What gives?

Should I be working with a 'vmlinuz' file instead of 'bzImage'.  Could
it be that the kernel I made is crap?

I don't want  run lilo of hard drive.  Just off boot floppy.

TIA.

okay - got it working.  But I must admit my problem solving was rather
non-linear...
 by that I mean that I just experimented and entered \\192.169.0.1 on
 the winMe client's browser - and sure enough - everything came up.

 So.. I edited the c:\windows\lmhost file to include the server's IP
 address and name and now everything is back to "normal".

I noticed that my logfiles still give the same 'bind' error problem as
well as:

  unable to open passdb database.

despite these error messages - things seem to be working okay... but
just for how long - I don't know.
... Afterall - everything was working well (without the edited LMhost
file) previously then - poof - my samba connectivity turned to crap.

So now things are working - but I can't help but feel like I'm walking
on eggshells since I've been burned once already...

anyone else have this problem with Debian-Samba box?

mail reader for news and mail

2002-11-21 Thread Debian User

Any suggestions for client that reads mail *and* news?

I currently use mutt, but then use gnus for newsgroups...  briefly
looked into vm and rmail... not exactly attractive...

want to get away from the huge ness of emacs...

perhaps will get used to having two terminals open all the time - one
for mutt and one for slrn...

I used to use pine in college, but I remember it not having thread
capability for newsgroups.  Is that still true?

Any other suggestions?

Oh - preferrably terminal based

Its failing because you need somekind of MTA. You could

Re: Need help from Network Guru's

2002-11-21 Thread Debian User

If I'm understanding the situation right, then the problem
looks to be the router rather than the pix. If you're meant to
access the network, there might already be a route there for
you, but not one for everyone else.
A bit of a longshot would be to check /etc/hosts.deny and your
DNS setup on Zeus. Make sure it can do DNS revlookups on IP's
out in the internet. Make sure there is no paranoid line hosts
deny.

BIND9 DDNS features

2002-12-05 Thread Expert User

Has anybody successfully used the DDNS features of bind9?

I am trying to setup bind 9, and a dhcp server which can update the DNS
records when there is a new host connected to network...

I went through all the docs but was not able to get it working.

finally I went back to bind8 and installed dhcp-dns package that does
the same thing through perl scripts and cron jobs.

Apply a linux patch to a Debian kernel

2003-06-06 Thread Joe User

Hi,

I would like to install kernel.org's prepatch 2.4.21-rc7.  I currently
have Debian's 2.4.20 (from kernel-source using kernel-package).  I
noticed that changes were made to the 2.4.20 source to "Debianize" it.

How do I go about applying the patch?  Can I patch the Debian source?
Should I get origional kernel source and patch that, and if so, do I
need to "Debianize" it somehow??   Something else?


Thanks,
Peter

/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.exe

2002-12-18 Thread Expert User

When the dhcpclient used to be dhcpcd, there was a way to run some
script after the dhcp has run by putting a script in /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.exe.

Now that I have dhclient, how do I achieve the same result?

I learned from the man page that there is /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks
script I can create, but how to associate it with a perticular
interface?

I need this to run my Dynamic DNS update script, everytime my IP
changes.

I thought that it might go in there but I wanted to make sure that was
the correct way.  Plus I am doing ipmasq for internal network.  I have a
script that I am using.  It works for me so far.  Thanks for yours
though.  I plan on putting the firewall on a p133 that is goin to be
gateway+firewall+dailout.  Just haven't had the time yet.

Would I need something like diald on the p133 to accept dailout or is
there another way?

Among a zillion other things this is covered in the Serial-HOWTO, which
you probably have on your system as /usr/doc/HOWTO/Serial-HOWTO.gz.

You need a terminal program on the computer you want to use as a
terminal. Connection by a null-modem cable.

Actual configuration on the Linux host side is trivial. You need to tell
init(8) to spawn a getty on that particular serial port. Enter an
appropriate entry in /etc/inittab. There's an example there. E.g.,
I use:

T6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -hL ttyS6 38400 vt320

-L tells getty that this is a local line, i.e. not connected to a modem,
-h tells it to use RTS/CTS flow control (not required but recommended).
Then there's the serial port, which is probably ttyS0 or ttyS1 unless
you have a multi-port card, the speed and terminal type. For the latter
two, use what your dumb terminal (or emulation thereof) supports.

After editing /etc/inittab you need to tell init(8) to re-read its
configuration file. The "telinit q" command will do this.

- Partially, you can deduce this from the keymap you load. If you don't
  know what keymap is loaded on you system, you can dump the current one
  with dumpkeys(1).

- You can dump the Linux console terminfo entry with infocmp(1). The
  terminfo(5) man page describes the capability codes.

- In the shell, you can enter ^V followed by the key in question, which
  will insert the literal escape sequence produced by the key in the
  command line buffer.

"\033[[5", which is a Linuxism.

I assume SecureCRT, whatever that is, emulates a DEC VT100 terminal. The
VT100 had only four function keys, named PF1 to PF4.

(The Linux console tries, within the limits set by the PC hardware, to
emulate a DEC VT220 terminal, which is itself a superset of the VT100.
Due to some substantial differences in the layout of the MF2 keyboard
compared to a DEC LK201, there are some incongruencies regarding the
function/special/keypad keys.)

> Also, what terminal setting works best w/ Linux (and what is the
> difference)?

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to ask. If you use the
Linux console as terminal, obviously TERM=linux is correct. If you use
some other terminal to access a Linux system, set TERM to the type of
that terminal.

What do you guys use for a Web Server Log anaylizer using apache.

I tried analog but can't seem to get it to work.  Is there a web based 
version that can be totally administrated by web page?

Question on File Permissions

2002-09-22 Thread Debian User


I set up a Web Server here on my Debian Box.

Question, is there any way to set a default file permission on a certain 
user folder inside the /var/www/ folder.

I want to setup accounts for users to upload web files, but the problem 
is that whenever I upload files, the files always default to read only 
and I have to run the chmod command each time, instead of them just 
defaulting to read and exe access for all.  

Is there any way to set this.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I am learning this umask util.  I'm confused, if you set the umask, 
is that for any new file created on the linux system, or just the files 
in the paticular directory that the umask command was run in?

This isn't listed on the man page or in my book.

Basically I just want to grant exe permission to the world ONLY on new 
files created in the USERS web directorys, just to save them the hassle 
of manually changing it, I DON'T want to give .exe status to any new 
file created on my linux box by default.

Re: Question on File Permissions

2002-09-22 Thread Debian User


Well, basically what I learned today, is that web file permissions are 
usually handled by the FTP client, which I am finding out is a problem 
with certain FTP utils like Dreamweaver for instance, because for some 
reason you have to download the Exchange Utilties which cost more $$ to 
get the feature of setting default UPLOAD permissions, while several 
other FTP utils have this feature built in.

I am a little pissed, that Dreamweaver would have people scrating their 
heads on this one, with no info in the help, or on there web site.  In 
their forums, several people have had the same trouble and it takes a 
user, not Macromedia to tell them the answer is to spend more dollars on 
Dreamweaver extensions.

Shouldn't this feature just be built in to any Web writing software?

Oh well, thanks for all your help with this one.

Need help with Bind

2002-09-30 Thread Debian User


Hi everyone,  I have been pulling hair on this one.

I got bind set up, nslookup resolves all domains and records just fine, 
but when trying to register my domains to my server, I get error 
messages from the domain registrars that my dns server is invalid or 
something..

Another problem is that when I search the nsiregestry or opensrs 
regestries for my dns server it shows nothing.

I have heard and read that you need to register your server with these 
regestries to allow a domain name change to a new dns server, but how is 
this done, for I have searched up and down verio.net tucows opensrs, 
nsiregestry.net, plus a few others, and have found no ways of entering 
my new dns server.

A link to this would be great, it seems I wouldn't be the only one with 
these troubles.

Thanks

smail: rsmtp spools all mail

1998-03-29 Thread debian-user

It seems that after I upgraded smail to 3.2.0.92-3, rsmtp now spools all
mail, i.e. it behaves as if it were called with "-odq".

Is there a way to restore the old behavior of immediate delivery? I
can't find a config option for this. rsmtp also refuses to take the
"-odf" parameter, so a wrapper won't help.

I reported this problem on 27 Jan when I got stuck trying to install from 
Debian 1.2. (This was on sda, but sdb was the same.) Strangely, Debian 1.1
had 16 partitions which is why I didn't get hit before.

I don't think 1.2 had any ram disk devices either, so I couldn't rdev the
root device on my custom boot/root disk at home (1.2) but only at work
(originally 1.1). Looking at 1.3 of 4 Apr, it seems to have one ok 
(/dev/ramdisk0).

So please, more SCSI partitions. Disks are getting bigger, and some of us
need to run multiple OSes. And please don't say "you should have more
disks, not partitions"; that's a decision made by our purchasing dept,
not me.

Modules / depmod

1997-10-20 Thread debian-user

Help,

I've been playing arround with the new 2.1.5x kernels. Now when I issue a 
depmod -a, it does not update the modules.dep file. Any content of the 
modules.dep is cleared. I've re-built the depmod / modprobe utilities (v 
2.1.55) from source, but still no joy.

Can anyone suggest what I've done wrong as I'd like to return to using modules. 

I get the same result whether I use the 2.0.27 / 2.0.30 or 2.1.55 kernel. I 
couldn't get the modules to load correctly before I updated the depmod / 
modprobe utils.

Thanks

Big fonts again

2003-11-17 Thread user list

I have been struggling with fonts, with some success, for the last few
months. Now I have fonts that have nice shapes, but are HUGE. I'm 
running a testing box.

I have a .gtkrc.min file that looks like this.

style "gtk-default-iso-8859-1" {
 fontset = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-100-75-75-*-*-iso8859-1"
  }

 class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default-iso-8859-1"

I followed the font guide that was posted a few weeks/months ago from
this list. The fonts that seem out of my control are those on the
borders of mozilla and those associated with the title and tool bars of
xterms and gnome-terminals. I would really like to figure this out.

dhclient

2003-12-01 Thread user list

I'm running a testing laptop and I'm trying to use dhclient (as I have
in previous incarnations of this testing laptop). When I invoke
dhclient, I receive a message saying:

socket: Protocol not available - make sure CONFIG_PACKET and
CONFIG_FILTER are defined in your kernel configuration.

So I looked at the .config file in the 2.4.20-kernel-source
directory and, sure enough, CONFIG_FILTER owas not defined. However, in
the xconfig menu, it appeared that CONFIG_FILTER had an =N default. I
am compiling a kernel with CONFIG_FILTER=y.

So I have tow questions for now.

1. Why doesn't xconfig have a default setting for CONFIG_FILTER that
matches the menu?

2. What has changed in dhclient to make this necessary?

i think you have to go under _advanced_ options for the particular

there is also a link in the user account window for server selection.
i have my local smtp server for some accounts and an open relay

I am searching for a good HowTo on firewalls and ipchains. 

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO-8.html references a dead 
link at
http://www.adelaide.net.au/~rustcorp/ipfwchains/ipfwchains.html

Does anyone have another reference worth reading?

Re: [OT] C programming, variable size array

2003-12-12 Thread Debian User

if you really have to do it in a low-level language, do it in assembly 
native to that processor. you can even write them inline within your 
C code.

asm(" mnemonic_instruction operand, operand");

Re: How to login as ROOT as start

why not log in to your gui as a common user and su as root from a

anyway, i cannot anything in /etc/gnome that would limit who has

hardware raid and 3ware

I am interested in implementing hardware RAID on a new machine I 
am putting together. I have read a post _Hardware RAID setup_ and 
am glad that it can be done w/ modules in Debian. It looks liek 3ware 
is the way to go. I only _need_ two disks (I think). Does anyone 
have a suggestion as to card/driver selection?

Re: My email is rejected by some sites

maybe i missed something in a previous post... isn't it the purpose 
to soecify hosts you are allowing to relay w/ the host_accept_relay 
setting in exim.conf? this will allow you not to be an open relay 
eventhough you have a dynamic IP address.

Re: My email is rejected by some sites

but using a smarthost is a way around this. 

or, just tell your friends who are using aol, earthlink, snet, etc.
, that you cannot send email to them because their isp is uptight 
;)

Re: My email is rejected by some sites

interesting articles. 

realisically, as i have some business domains on my server, i cannot 
prevent users from receiving email from aol et. al. accounts. furthermore,
i have to use a friend's open relay as smarthost to get aol-bound 
email off my server. 

is there no other way to stop aol et. al. from blocking dynamic IPs?

Re: My email is rejected by some sites

wow ... so, if you don't have exposure to the joys and sorrows of 
running your own server on the net, how can you really learn? 

then, the net and everyone who uses it should be licensed like ham 
radio operators? afterall, the net is just a transmission medium 
like rf is a transmission medium.
