Sharing a printer with SAMBA
Gday y'all, Im trying to share a CUPS printer over samba. I can see the printer, but when i try to print to it from a windows box i get the message "Access Denied, Cannot connect.". I seem to be able to print a test page from the http config tool. This same problem hapened with lpd. I am running Debian GNU/LINUX 3.0 (woody) with an Epson Stylus Color 600 on /dev/lp0. I have attached my smb.conf file. Cheers, Chris # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 192.168.0.5 (192.168.0.5) # Date: 2003/02/02 17:18:13 # Global parameters [global] passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u printing = cups dns proxy = No encrypt passwords = Yes printcap name = cups invalid users = root max log size = 1000 obey pam restrictions = Yes passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n server string = server.home.lan workgroup = HLAN syslog = 0 netbios name = SERVER log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m [public] path = /home/smb/public valid users = ctd danny mum dad read only = No [smbroot] path = /home/smb valid users = ctd read only = No [drivers] path = /home/smb/admin/drivers valid users = ctd read only = No [programs] path = /home/smb/admin/programs valid users = ctd read only = No [patches] path = /home/smb/admin/patches valid users = ctd read only = No [wwwroot] path = /home/smb/wwwroot valid users = ctd read only = No [parents] path = /home/smb/parents valid users = mum dad read only = No [ctd] path = /home/smb/users/ctd valid users = ctd read only = No [danny] path = /home/smb/users/danny valid users = danny read only = No [dad] path = /home/smb/users/dad valid users = dad read only = No [mum] path = /home/smb/users/mum valid users = mum read only = No [printers] path = /var/spool/samba valid users = ctd,dad,danny,mum printable = yes guest ok = yes

Hello, Im having no luck getting X to work with Debian(3). I have a ATI Radeon8500 card. I chose the 2.4 kernel at install time and chose to include the ati module (I think).

Re: debian-user-digest Digest V2002 #400
Hey Thanks But I went to the ATI site, and all they seem to have are rpms. And like I said, the "rpm" distrobutions have no problem with my card during install. I also tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and entered in all the. bus information( I think I got it right, tried it about 16 different ways) but still no luck seeing this card. Unfortunately this situation has kept me on Mandrake and RedHat for 2 years because I always cannot install anything else even after days of trying.

apt-get upgrade broken && ls broken && many others broken
Greetings: I run apt-get update&&apt-get upgrade frequently. Seems a recently installed package is broken (I'm suspecting fileutils). When I do an ls I get: ls: reading directory .: Function not implemented When I do an apt-get upgrade I get: 27 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded. 3 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B/26.2MB of archives. After unpacking 5009kB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y dpkg: cannot scan updates directory `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/': Function not implemented E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) Anyone have suggestions? Is there a known broken package? How do I fix the problem? The fine folks on #debian at irc.openprojects.net suggested a problem between libc6 2.3.1-6 and a 2.2 kernel, though I've not yet found how to fix it with apt-get broken. I do not believe that I am running sid. I believe that it is the testing release, though I am not certain how I can tell. Thanks!

Re: I am not impressed with Debian so far.
Hi, I thought I'd just throw in that I have used both Red Hat (5.0 ->) and SuSE (5.1 ->) and am mightily impressed by The Debian Experience. The install process is rather rough, I'll admit. I just pick the installation type from the "custom" menu on the Slink disk and grit my teeth as dselect does its work. Am I the only one that finds dselect to be a horrible package manager to work with? Once it's installed, though, Debian works beautifully. I run bleeding-edge Potato (weekly updates) and have run into only minor problems (suid su, &[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/ppp permissions) so far. Apt is a wonderful tool, and Gnome-Apt completes the package. One question: How do I point Apt at something else besides an http connection? I'd like to use it on CD-ROM images, if possible. Dpkg would take forever to use and, as I've said before, I hate dselect. As for sound, I must say that I've had a few problems with it. Of course, I had similar problems in previous versions of RH... Go fig. Anyway, once you've compiled in the kernel modules that you'll need, try this: Grab an rpm of RH's sndconfig, alien it over to a .deb, and install it. I used it, and it worked the first time (SB AWE-64 PNP). Is there a comparable Debian tool that I've been missing? Anyway, I just thought I'd share :-) Keep up the good work! I am currently working on getting my local RH-dominated LUG to convert :-) -Chris

Check out http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html for a list. For instance, this one is fairly close to me: ftp://groucho.cs.wisc.edu/pub/linux/redhat/redhat-6.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/sndconfig-0.33-1.i386.rpm I think that I might have used the RH 5.2 version, but this one ought to do. YMMV. Anyway, the RH mirrors are many, though their organization level varies wildly. Generally, though, you can find a stock image (such as the one above) on every mirror. Cheers, -Chris
Unmapped keystrokes?
I've just noticed this problem recently... It seems that a number of keystrokes fail to do anything. In emacs or Jed, ^W, ^K, ^F, and probably a number of others do nothing, or at least don't do what they're supposed to do. ^X, ^S and ^C all seem to work, though. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? I have a tough time interpreting keymap files, so I don't know if something is missing or not. These keystrokes have worked for three months, and I can't recall upgrading for at least three weeks, so I haven't a clue what might have caused this. Any help would be much obliged. Thanks, -Chris
Missing key bindings
Hi. I've posted this before, but maybe some of you missed it... Anyway, my problem is that I am missing some very useful key bindings all of a sudden. Some of these include contol-alt-delete, control-k, control-f, control-w, and a number of others. Other bindings such as control-x and control-s still work. The same thing happens in my RedHat partition,so I sense an ominous Hardware Problem... They tend to be more worrisome than software problems :-P One odd thing I have noticed about the box is that it emits a rapid clicking throughout the BIOS bootstrapping (much like the sound that it normally only makes during its RAM count). This sound goes away once it hits my boot manager. I have an Epox MVP3G-M MoBo. Does anyone have any idea what or where I should check for problems? I'd like to fix this ASAP since Emacs and Jed are rather irritating to use in my system's current state :-P Thanks, -Chris

It is based on the Data Encryption Standard algorithm with variations intended (among other things) to discourage use of hard? ware implementations of a key search. key is a user's typed password. salt is a two-character string chosen from the set [a-zA-Z0-9./]. This string is used to perturb the algo? rithm in one of 4096 different ways. By taking the lowest 7 bit of each character of the key, a 56-bit key is obtained. This 56-bit key is used to encrypt repeatedly a constant string (usually a string consisting of all zeros). The returned value points to the encrypted password, a series of 13 printable ASCII characters (the first two characters represent the salt itself). The return value points to static data whose content is overwritten by each call. Chris --- Debian GNU/Linux Ooohh You are missing out! --- Reply with subject 'key' for PGP public key. KeyID A9E087D5
Xterm color
Hi, I'm having trouble with color support in xterm. At the moment I am running xterm with the terminfo as xterm, which seems to disable all color support (although ls --color still works ?). When I mean color support I'm talking about programs such as mutt and dselect. When I change terminfo to xterm-debian I get color support on my local machine, but when I connect to another machine (also debian 2.0) color still doesn't work in mutt (although I now does in dselect). I am connecting via ssh (although I tried with telnet as well). Is anyone able to explain this behaviour? Can anyone tell me how to make it work properly?? Also, I'd prefer not to use xterm-debian, as whenever I connect to uni machines I get the message "Sorry, I don't know anything about your "xterm-debian" terminal" whenever I try and run anything like vi, etc. Is there any advantage to xterm-debian (and anyway to make it more seamless?)

Hmmm. The following is what I prefer about debian, but this is just for me, and may not be better for you. 1) Everything is ensured to be "in the right place". This means that if I go looking for an installed file, config file, etc, then it is *always* in a sensible location. 2) The package management is excellent, which lets me easily and virtually flawlessly install packages via ftp (or http) on the fly. I also love the fact that I can update my entire system to the latest versions with only two commands. Also the packages themselves are really nice to work with, particularily for a developer (unlike redhats rpms), and utilities like make-kpkg, make-deb, etc make my life alot easier. 3) The high degree of documentation. Every package is garanteed to be documented to some degree (even if only to say that there is no docs). 4) The free nature of debian. I know debian is free and I know I can get any package I want from the ftp site (or any mirror). 5) From my experience debian has *alot* less problems, particularily with regards to security, than other distros. 6) I'm not tied down by kludgy gui's for doing system maintainence. 7) The sence of worth you get from working with an open development project. The people making and using debian are friendly and very community spirited. I get the feeling that most people are proud to be using debian, and the developers take great pride in their work. 8) The support provided by these mailing lists. Theres probably a dozen other reasons, but I think that'll do for now :) > Also do you think debian will continued to be developed? > I read somewhere that the head of the progect quite because he thought the > progress was not fast enough.

File path caching?
Hi all, I've got another weird problem which is kind of annoying. Say I have a program in /usr/bin, called fred for example. I can run fred and everything is fine. Then I create a file in /usr/local/bin, which is also called fred (say a wrapper for the real one). Since /usr/local/bin is earlier in my path it should run first. However when I try and run fred, it still runs the original version in /usr/bin, until I log out and log back in again. Also, if I log out and back in I can run /usr/local/bin/fred, but if I then delete that program and try running fred again, I get a "file not found" error, despite there being a executable called fred in /usr/bin. Can anyone explain why this happens? Thanks, Chris -- --- REALITY.SYS corrupted: Reboot universe? (Y/N/Q) ...Debian GNU/Linux --- Reply with subject 'key' for PGP public key.

boot time options
Hi, I just found out that I can boot a linux system to root by typing the following at the lilo prompt: linux init=/bin/sh Due the environment in which the machines running linux are used, I would like to disable the ability to modify boot methods.

System.map
Hi, I was wondering if somebody could give me an idea of what the System.map file is for? I've allways compiled my own kernels, and never had to worry about this file (never had any problems). However I tried to use the command lsof, and it complains that it can't find a System.map file to match my currently booted kernel. What does this mean - and how can it be rectified? I've looked through the docs and it doesn't appear to be mentioned. Thanks, Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: System.map
Just a thought - when I compile and installed my own kernel, I used the zImage kernel. I played with make-kpkg, and this wants to put the files vmlinuz & vmlinux in /boot. Would using zImage instead of vmlinux cause problems? How do I produce vmlinux from the kernel source? BTW, I can't see any install options in the kernel makefile. I just followed the instructions in the readme, which were to: make config make clean; make dep make zImage make modules make modules-install cp arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot modify lilo to include /boot/zImage The README doesn't mention anything about System.map :( Thanks for any information, Chris On Sun, 24 May 1998, Bill Mitchell wrote: > Off the top of my head --- > > That file gives the memory addresses of symbolic variables used in > the kernel.

Accessing html forms...

I know perl very well, and as Ralph said it has proved invaluable. However, what I want to do is ~send~ something to a html server via a POST operation. Scenerio is as follows: There is a web page on a remote site that contains a form which I must fill out on a regular basis. Rather than loading netscape and going to the page, then filling out the form, I would like to write a program to connect to the remote http server (actually via a proxy) and send the POST information automatically. I can then add it as a cron job. Unfortunately I don't know the protocol used for sending POST (I've done plenty of cgi-bin to except POST before), and I was wanting some information on that, or a utility that does this allready (something like snarf).

Compiling a kernel
Hi, There was some discussion a while ago about installing a new kernel. I was just wondering if someone had some definate instructions for installing a 'debian compliant' kernel (with correct system.maps, etc, etc). Following the instructions in the README for the kernel source does not work correctly (there is no mention of a system.map file for instance), and I've got a funny feeling I should be putting in a vmlinux (or vmlinuz ?) file instead of zImage.

Well...yes, it has gotten out of hand - but really, why waste it?
In simple summury, we have the following issues for large file transfer:
email: ("the bane of postmasters everywhere")
- inefficient file transfer methods.
- large amounts of space required on possibly numerous servers for
spooling.
- difficult for a reciever to choose whether to receive the file or not.
- DOS possibilities.
ftp/http(et al):
- difficult to use, requires a user to know how to use them - to place
the
files in appropriate places and to pass correct urls to the files.
- often not an available alternative due to ISP restrictions.
- lack of security (ok, email isn't secure either - but _far_ less
people
have the technical skills + access to snoop email transfer).
So far these are the only protocols mentioned for transfering files between
people over the internet. Both have their problems, thus neither is a good
solution.
Now - I was thinking, what this debian-user lists represents is some of the
best computer programmers in the world mixed with one of the largest user
bases. Surely between ourselves we have the ability to come up with a
"Better Way"? What is really stopping us from developing a better solution
ourselves? These things have to start somewhere...
Here is my first suggestion:
One program I use regularily on linux is sendfile (see the sendfile package
guys). This program is very useful - although it suffers from some of the
same problems as email transfer (the file is transfer is done immediately,
hence spooling is required, DOS possible, etc).
What would be nice is if this program only transfered the file when the
user chooses to "recieve". This would require the file to be spooled on
the senders machine awaiting download - which is a much better solution than
"transfer then spool". A basic algorithm to do this could be:
User requests a file be sent. Their "sendfile server" (either their
local
machine or a server that gives them access) will be sent the file and it
will store it somewhere. A ticket is then sent back to the user which
contains a URL (or similar) for the file plus an authentication code, so
that the file can only be downloaded by supplying that code (you could
even
add support for a limited timeframe to pervent indefinate file storage).
This ticket is sent to the recipient (possibly with a email message),
and
upon receipt the user is given the option to download the file. The
recipient could use information such as the sender and the file size to
choose to a) download the file, b) not download the file (and remove
from
the "sendfile server" or c) differ the choice until later.
There is also the possibility to set up automatic download at the client
end if required. It would all be part of the client software.

getting WP to run in Potato
Hi. After much struggle getting the file itself, I've finally installed WP 8. Unforunately, I am having some trouble with it. When I first installed it, the program refused to find the library libXpm.so.4 even though that exact file was in /usr/X11R6/lib, a directory which is (of course) in my ld.so.conf. So, to remedy this, I made a symbolic link (with the same name, of course) to /usr/lib. Now the program segfaults :-p I made a stacktrace, but I can't really understand what's going on... If anyone's interested in seeing it, let me know. I am running a mostly potatofied Debian system with a 2.2.6 kernel on a K6-2 450 system with 128 MB RAM. Suggestions are very welcome. -Chris
VideoRam settings?
Well, I upgraded my X server to 3.3.3.1, but it hasn't really helped very much. To review, my previous problem was that i was able to get my Xserver to run at 1024x768 after much tweaking, and even then it was sprkly, the mouse pointer was a green block, and the vertical axis was partially repeated on the top and bottom of the screen. Now, with my new Xserver files, XF86Setup segfaults, and I can't seem to make the server recognize that I have 8 MB of video RAM. Here's the card entry from my XF86Config file: Section "Device" Identifier "Primary Card" VendorName "Unknown" BoardName "Diamond Viper 330" VideoRam8192 EndSection Now, my question is: where is it getting the 2 MB size? The XF86Config file that I edit is in /etc/X11. Is there another one lying around that might be overriding my settings? Is there another spot in the XF86Config file that also might override the device entry? I might also note that the Xserver has no qualms with running at 800x600 32 bpp. However, the main point of buying a 17" monitor was to expand my desktop, and running the same resolution as I had on my 15" monitor does not forward that cause. So, my stats are: mostly potatofied Debian, XFree86 3.3.3.1 SVGA server (from http://master.debian.org/~branden/xfree86-3331/), kernel 2.2.6, glibc 2.1, etc... TIA, -Chris
PHP3+MySQL problems
Hi. Well, I seem to be having problems getting PHP to recognize that I have mysql support in place. When I try to view a document with a mysql_connect() function in it, I get: Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect() in /home/cmayes/public_html/apples.php3 on line 12 Now, the given php script will probably not work correctly as I do not have things set up exactly the way I had them on the machine where I had originally wrote (copied) the script. Even so, it should be able to use the function, right? Anyway, I checked for the .so, and yep, it's in the right place: cmayes:/usr/lib/php3/apache# ls calendar.so crypt.so mysql.so In my /etc/php3/apache/php3.ini: extension_dir = /usr/lib/php3/apache The strange thing is that I had done almost exactly the same thing on a previous Debian install without a problem. I have the following packages installed from the unstable tree: mysql mysql-dev mysql-client apache php3 php3-mysql php3-cgi-mysql (just to be safe) ..and the dependencies associated with the above. I am running a potatofied Debian on a 2.2.6 kernel. What else should I check, change or do in order to track down the problem? Standard PHP seems to work fine, BTW. TIA, -Chris
Weird su problems
Well, living on the blleding edge seems to have finally bitten me in the ass ;-) I normally do an apt-get update;apt-get upgrade every week or so unless I hear about major fixes. I did such an upgrade earlier today, upgrading nearly everything that could be upgraded. The only immediate abnormality was that X seemed to freeze (I could move the mouse, but clicking did nothing) soon after I upgraded some Gnome packages. When I got back to my machine later, I found that ppp had reset some permissions on the ppp directory (it took dip off of the group, for some reason). I went to su to root, and I got a bad password error. Of course, I totally panicked. I quit X and restarted it, but the problem remained. As a desperate measure, I switched to another console and tried to log in as root and... it worked. It looks like some element relating to su has been broken. I apologize for not knowing which package contains su, but I have the latest version for Potato (x86) as of Wednesday (yesterday). I've just discovered that su fails to work on the console, too. Should I downgrade some packages (and if so, how is that done?) or wait until the next version of package x(y,z) to come out? Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks, -Chris
Compiling a Kernel 2.0.x with Debian 2.2 (potato)
Hi,
I've upgraded to the Debian 2.2 (potato) release. The the default gcc
enviroment is based on gcc-2.95 (egcs-1.2). These include the compilers
g++, gobjc, g77, chill and gcj and libraries libstdc++2.9(-dev),
libg++2.8.2(-dev). gcc-2.95 provides the preferred C compiler which is
called `gcc'.
This compiler is not able to compile old kernel 2.0.x releases. So I
added to my standard gcc-2.95 enviroment the following compiler an
librarys:gcc272, libg++272(-dev), g++272
After doing this I tried to configure the 2.0.38 Kernel with the
following option:
make CC=gcc272 CXX=g++272 menuconfig
But I get an error message witch tells me about some ncurses problem.
This seemed very strange to me because nothing changed from debian
version 2.1 to 2.2 concerning the ncrses librarys.
To avoid the problem with the ncurses library I configured my kernel
with this option:
make CC=gcc272 CXX=g++272 config
After configuring the kernel I tried to compile it with this:
make CC=gcc272 CXX=g++272 dep clean zImage
But the make process stops after several error messages.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong !
Thanks

Sendmail...
Hi, I was wondering if any sendmail guru's can help with this one I have a gateway machine where all the incoming mail to the network arrives. This machine has some local users (so their mail should stay on the gateway), but also must forward any other mail on to another internal server for distribution (note that the gateway doesn't know whether a particular address is for a valid user on the internal mail server, it should just forward on any mail that it can't match itself). The questiong is how can I set this up?

Sendmail setup....
Hi all. I was hoping that someone could help with a rather obscure techinique I'm trying to implement with sendmail. Basically our network has two different mail servers - one for a student network, and one for administration staff. They both accept mail for the same domain address. Now all the mail from outside is first delievered to the admin server (it is also the network gateway), then any mail that is explicitly known to be for a student is passwd on to the student mail server (via entries in the aliases file - such as "student: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"). However, when a student sends outgoing mail, it is sent first to the student mail server. If the mail is for a local address the student server must then determine if it is actually for an admin account, and if so pass it on to the admin server (again this is currently done by entries in the aliases file - such as "adminuser: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"). Confusing? Now what I am trying to do is remove the need for each machine to know exactly what users are on the other. I have done this for incoming mail by configuring the admin server to forward any mail for unknown users to the student server so that it can attempt delivery. I tried to do the same for the student server, but the problem is that any mail for a real unknown address ends up boncing back and forth between the two servers. What I would like to do is to configure sendmail to first check if the mail has allready been through the other machine before relaying unknown users to it - but as you've probably guessed I really wouldn't know where to begin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
ftp firewalling
Hi, Sorry if this is off-the-topic. I am trying to set up a firewall on our network, but to allow ftp connections from internal machines to specific external sites (on a per-site basis). The problem I am having is that ftp seems to use ports other than 20 and 21. At the moment I only allow transfers on these two ports. This allows me to make an ftp connection (ie. the external site prompts for username password, and I can enter those) but when I try to do any transfers (ie gets, puts, or lists) they just time out.

disk partition problem
Hello. I have been reading about Debian, and I am eager to try it out. However, I seem to have a problem that I have not found an answer for yet, even after searching through all of the FAQ's and help documents I could find. The problem is with partitioning my hard disk. I DO NOT want to wipe it out (like using fdisk), so instead I tried FIPS (found on the Linux CD). First I scanned and defragged my disk, then I tried to run fips. Then it told me there was a file(s) at the end of my hard disk. So I checked the documentation on fips and it listed a two files that might be at the last sector, but it wasn't true on my machine. And that's where I'm stuck. Please help me or tell me where I can get help so I can free myself from the tyranny of Windows!! Thanks for your time Chris P.S.

disk partitioning (again)
Hello again Thanks to all of you that gave me suggestions on my partitioning problem. I have one more thing to ask: I have decided to go with the method of changing my system file attributes so that my disk defragmenter will move them to the beginning of the drive. But how do I do this and how do I know which ones I need to change? Also, will this cause a major problem with my computer by moving these files?

pgp
Hi all I notice alot of you use pgp signed messages. I would like to set this up myself (just for the hell of it) - but to be honest I can't figure out how. I tried to install the package pinepgp from my local debain mirror, but it complains that it can't find the package pgp. Any ideas how I can set this stuff up?

pgp
This is probably off the topic, but I was wondering what the difference is between the international and "America only" versions of pgp are? Which is better? Why? (Not that I am allowed to use the america only version - I'm just interested in why there is a difference) Thanks for any info, Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

runaway processors
Hi all, I am having problems with user process's running away (taking up 99.8% CPU time) on our linux server (primary examples being elvis and netscape). Is there an easy way to get the server to recognise these - and kill them off? I know elvis runs away if you close the xterm (or window manager) that elvis is running in - I haven't figured out the cause for the others...

Software watchdog & full process table
Hi, One of our network servers went down for reboot in the middle of last night, which was done by the software watchdog.

A few things about Debian Hamm
Can anybody tell me when hamm is expected to go stable? Also, I am in the middle of installing a hamm system onto a clean drive, however it seems alot of old packages are missing (ie. pine, etc).

Mutt & libc6
Hi, With all the discussion of pine v's mutt, etc, etc, I thought I'd take a look a mutt and see what people where on about. However, I am currently running a bo system (waiting for hamm to go stable) and I can't find a package for mutt. Is there one? The only package I could see was for hamm - and that requires libc6. Also, I was considering installing libc6 - is it difficult? what would be the best way to do it (ie. should I just get the libc6.deb file and use dpgk -i?)

You can increase the difficulty by setting the bios to only boot from HDD and then locking the bios - but if he's smart enough that you have to worry about the root password, he's going to know how to reset the bios. In addition, if you have dos/windoze installed as well, and he can run it, he can most likely reset your bios without even taking the case off (use one of the numerous bios hacking programs around).

This is the best thing to try first - although I have seen some things
that even this won't work on. If you do get stuck you can try rm -i *.
This will try to delete EVERYTHING in the directory - but prompt for each
one, so you can say no to everything but the ~ file. (Alternately you
could move everything else out of the directory first).

I still don't know how the user managed to get them into a file name! Also, just out of interest, you can also enclose alot of those strange characters (such as ~) in single quotes (ie '~').

Quota on Mail systems
Hi. I am trying to implement quotas on the mail system of my debian linux server. I have configured the quota system so that users have a quota on /var/spool. This quota works fine and enforces the limit correctly when a user attempts to put any files in that filesystem via the shell - but when a user recieves mail it is placed into their mail file - regardless of their disk quota. So affectively the mail system is quotaless. Can anybody explain this behaviour and perhaps suggest how I may correct this??

I believe this is because it is running as root (although it really should assume the id of the user just before attempting to deliver the mail). Perhaps to overcome the problem with the quota notification, the quota warnings should be delivered by root, using an alternate MDA (such as deliver) - which means the user will recieve the mail regardless of their quota?
