IBCS and Recent Debian Releases

2002-03-22 Thread Mike Barton
Has anyone got IBCS working with a recent Debian release & kernel 2.2.20? I've got 2.2r5 loaded and need this functionality for Informix databases. Seems like the deb is lost in space. I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks.

Bridges Anyone?

2001-10-19 Thread Mike Barton
Hi all! Here's the story... I'd like to setup a dual NIC Debian box to act as a filtering bridge. The goal is to filter IP traffic in by port and, hopefully, other protocols. For example, I'd like to ship traffic destined to two (or more) web servers to their respective hosts untouched. However, an

Samba 2.2.0 and Debian 2.2r3

2001-05-11 Thread Mike Barton
Hi all.. Unstable has Samba 2.2.0 but it requires a newer version of libc than is supplied with 2.2r3. I'm a bit anxious about upgrading lib6 so I got the sources and compiled Samba under 2.2r3. It compiled fine. Anyone know of any issues to be aware of? I really need the new Samba in an attempt

RE: problem with installing Debian on a ide raid controler

2000-08-25 Thread Mike Barton
The easiest way around this issue is to use the motherboard IDE ports for the install. After you've got everything rolling, you can go looking for some UDMA drivers for your card. Check the Debian site for pointers. SCSI only systems work because the Debian boot floppy kernel has drivers for most o

Debian Progress and iBCS

1999-09-17 Thread Mike Barton
Hi all! I have Debian 2.1 running with the default 2.0.36 kernel. iBCS for 2.0.36 isn't available as a *.deb so I Debinized an iBCS Redhat RPM and installed it. After moving things around to the proper directories, modprobe iBCS seems to work as far as I and lsmod know. However, trying to run _pro

RE: How do you LOW FORMAT a hard drive

1999-09-14 Thread Mike Barton
Actually, low formatting most SCSI drives is useful since it tests the drive and updates the dud sector map with the results. SCSI and IDE drives that would be damaged in some way by low formatting *usually* return success with out doing anything when asked to do a low level format. IOW, hard driv

There are at least 2 differential driver standards. The current, popular one is LPD or Low Power Differential. The 2940U2W supports LPD _only_.
