Re: strange grep or tail behaviour

2001-05-02 Thread Jeremy C. Reed
Replying to my own message...

I should have looked in the Unix FAQ first :) I believe the answer was in
3.14. It has to do with the amount of buffering.
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/faq/part3/section-14.html

I did receive some off-list emails about this. One used strace to see that
it was buffered. (Thank you.) Another simply said "man tail" -- well I
already read the manpage and info page for it; I must have missed
something; please share specific details.

I guess as a workaround I could just use a single instance of awk, sed,
grep, perl or a simple bash script to solve my problem. Or I could
find and modify a BSD-licensed grep to not buffer the output.

Does anyone know of a grep that can use multiple expressions
that some are reversed, for example, one grep that can do the same as
"grep keyword | grep -v exclude" (without knowing the placement of the
keywords in the line)?

Or can anyone share some examples of using awk to do this?

Apache VirtualDocumentRoot

2001-05-02 Thread Russell Coker
Here is my Apache VirtualDocumentRoot setting:
VirtualDocumentRoot /www/%-1/%-2/%-3/%-4+

Now for URLs such as "http://company.com/"; this will be expanded to 
/www/com/company/_/_/ !

Currently I am putting sym-links from "_" to "." in the directories 
/www/com/company/ but this is a real hack.  Does anyone know of a good way of 
doing this in Apache?

Re: Performance monitor

2001-05-02 Thread Jason Lim
It would be really cool if there was some kind of app that would run on a
console, and would show a summary of most types of stats a real sysadmin
would be interested in (eg. total system loading, total network bandwidth
being used), and things like that. It would definately not be very
detailed (you want that, go get BB or Netsaint), but at a glance a person
could see the general health of the system and network.

Actually, on a similar note, does anyone know of an app that, again, runs
on the console, and can show bandwidth related stats? I know all about
iptraf and ntop... but is there something that can run totally automated,
and is secure enough to be run on a multi-user box? (ntop has had it's
share of security problems before... not sure bout iptraf).

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Jason.

Accounting Software

2001-05-02 Thread Robert Brown
What are other ISPs running for financial accounting software?  We are running
Peach Tree 7.0 with a customer base of 3000 users.  Printing invoices is now
over 30 hours. A call to Peach Tree informs us that our software is only made
for 1000 or less accounts but they will be glad to sell us their bigger product
for $2000.  "Oh, but it won't import your old data."  So, anyone have any
recommendations?  Thanks.

Are you printing invoices from Peach Tree?  Can you automate dumping
a "pre-invoice" or some sort of structured data dump to files and 
generate your own invoices as a separate process?  What takes the time?
The physical printing or is someone manually doing File->Print?

I am using debian box with 2.2 basic installation, working as an ISDN

I am not sure if I understand this. Are you saying that your ISDN
connection is only up (dials out) when connected by some diald (or other
daemon)? And that it connects when you don't want it to?

Use "ps aux" to see what daemons are running. Maybe disable diald (or
whatever dials up) and just connect manually instead.

Look at all your crontabs -- can you correlate some process with the same
time that it dials up?

How often does it try to connect? (What times?)

Re: Accounting Software

2001-05-02 Thread Rich Puhek
An ISP I work with recently offloaded all the ISP billing and account
management to Optigold (www.digitalpoint.com). Optigold should be able
to import everything from Peach Tree without too much trouble (they had
to import from Quickbooks, which can't be too much different). If you
need to hang on to Peach Tree for payroll and other accounting stuff,
Optigold can export the financial data back to Peach Tree every month,
so that you can still track your money and handle the tax stuff as
before.

There are a few other similar packages out there. We had also
investigated Rydopi and Billmax, but settled on Optigold, and have been
happy since.

Newbie from NT exim question

2001-05-02 Thread Gregory Hostettler



Hi!
 
My brand-new exim on potato kernel 2.2.13 used to 
work perfectly for some days. Just before (what a chance!) to go production, it 
stopped working on outgoing e-mails, with this nasty message: '550 relaying to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> prohibited 
by administrator (failed to find host name from IP address)', Port : 25, 
Sécurisé (SSL) : Non, Erreur de serveur : 550, Numéro d'erreur : 
0x800CCC79
 
I guess it is maybe related to DNS. My simple 
problem is "where in the hell do I specify the DNS primary and secondary IP 
addresses under Debian Linux ?" Yes, with Windoze NT, it was quite 
straightforward, either on the DHCP server, or, for statically addressed 
servers, just go to this DNS tab under protocols under NW neighborhood. Just a 
kind of knowing where it is. Guess the same under Linux.
 
I tried to tweak exim.conf, adding a couple of 
sites under "relay_domains". All e-mails for these two sites are going out 
perfectly, as exim does not try to get thier IPs from their names. That seems to 
indicate one more time a DNS problem.
 
Do I have to change anything in host_accept_relay 
(which is actually localhost which points in the hosts file to 127.0.0.1). 
Should it be instead of the loopback, the real address of the mail server ???). 
The token relay-domains_include_locale_mx=true is commented out, and host_lookup 
is set to *.
 
Any help greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your answer, but..

There was no file resolve.conf in /etc, so I created one with the following
entries
search mydomain.ch
nameserver 164.128.36.34
nameserver 164.128.76.39

I did not mention an important fact: We are hosting Web server (apache) and
mail server (exim), but the nameservers are external. After having created
the resolve.conf file, I simply ifdown -a, then ifup -a to reset everything
and tried a ping to www.ibm.com (we know for sure they are up...). Result:
host unknown and no try to go to the Internet (I have a separate line and
router for this test config) to lookup DNS.

I am surely missing something somewhere.

If you can give me a clue to "where to strat looking" I will be really
pleased.

VirtualDocumentRoot IS mod_vhosts_alias.

I have read the documentation for mod_rewrite and couldn't work out how to do 
this.  However mod_rewrite is described as being "like Sendmail" to configure 
so I may have missed something.  If you know how to do this with mod_rewrite

Re: Accounting Software

2001-05-02 Thread Nathan Ridge
With our ISP we started from scratch and now have over 3000 clients so
eveything was a learning process, or accounts manager started using a
Filemaker database that took monthly totals of users in and then was able to
quickly sort and invoice customers even now with somany, Filemaker is very
scriptable, daily can just set the wheels in motion, it will update new
data, send a 10 hour warning and 5 hour remaining reminder to applicable
customers, print invoices of due accounts even cut clients of that havn't
paid.

MSI K7 MASTER MS-6341 MOTHERBOARD

2001-05-02 Thread Landon Hendee

(please 'CC' me your replies. Thanks. This is also my first
posting to any debian.org lists, so if I'm posting to the wrong
group, etc. please let me know. I hope the cross-post is ok, also.)


I'm buying a motherboard soon and want to know if this one is
compatible with Debian.  (Info and specs are at bottom.)

Has anyone tried this board yet? I would like to hear some
feedback about how this board works in particular and also on
whether the chip sets on this board are compatible with
debian/Linux. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Going by all the reviews that I've read, this board looks like a
real "BAD ASS" so I hope and pray that it will work ok.

Could someone recommend a really good CPU and chip set cooler?

I would be VERY interested in finding a good, reliable and CHEAP
place to purchase this board as well as the parts listed below:

AMD ATHLON "C" 1.33G CPU
MICRON/CRUCIAL PC2100 DDR-SDRAM

I haven't really found a cheap place to buy parts from yet.

The cheapest places that I have found so far are on
http://www.pricewatch.com ... These prices *seem* reasonable, but
I was told on IRC that it was still high. The board retails for
around $200 I think.

An incredibly over clocked system was made by tomshardware.com
using this board with a special liquid cooled CPU cooler.

For some background info on the board I have included the
following quote from http://www.chip-online.com

 BEGIN QUOTE 

Test winner: MSI K7 Master (for DDR-RAM)

  The MSI K7 Master with AMD 760 chip set is basically well-
  enough
  equipped to use in servers. The test results leave little doubt
  of this, and in the areas of stability and compatibility, it
  was the only board which didn't allow itself to make even the
  slightest slip-up.

  But, instead of making this board to use in servers, they
  designed it for use in PCs, so the K7 Master can run through
  its paces even for us mortals. We feel the board would easily
  fit into production mastering or also internet/web service, for
  example. A similar quality is noticed in the board's layout and
  description. You don't have to spend much time looking for the
  well-labelled plug-ins or jumpers, for example. Unique so far:
  the K7 Master is currently the only board that really allows
  over clocking of both the CPU-multiplier as well as the FSB.

MOTHERBOARD SPECS FOR:
MSI K7 MASTER MS-6341 MOTHERBOARD AND OPTIONAL ONBOARD UW160-SCSI

  Chip set:  AMD 760

Apache VirtualDocumentRoot

2001-05-02 Thread Russell Coker

Here is my Apache VirtualDocumentRoot setting:
VirtualDocumentRoot /www/%-1/%-2/%-3/%-4+

Now for URLs such as "http://company.com/"; this will be expanded to 
/www/com/company/_/_/ !

Currently I am putting sym-links from "_" to "." in the directories 
/www/com/company/ but this is a real hack.  Does anyone know of a good way of 
doing this in Apache?

Re: Performance monitor

2001-05-02 Thread Jason Lim

It would be really cool if there was some kind of app that would run on a
console, and would show a summary of most types of stats a real sysadmin
would be interested in (eg. total system loading, total network bandwidth
being used), and things like that. It would definately not be very
detailed (you want that, go get BB or Netsaint), but at a glance a person
could see the general health of the system and network.

Actually, on a similar note, does anyone know of an app that, again, runs
on the console, and can show bandwidth related stats? I know all about
iptraf and ntop... but is there something that can run totally automated,
and is secure enough to be run on a multi-user box? (ntop has had it's
share of security problems before... not sure bout iptraf).

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Jason.

What are other ISPs running for financial accounting software?  We are running
Peach Tree 7.0 with a customer base of 3000 users.  Printing invoices is now
over 30 hours. A call to Peach Tree informs us that our software is only made
for 1000 or less accounts but they will be glad to sell us their bigger product
for $2000.  "Oh, but it won't import your old data."  So, anyone have any

Are you printing invoices from Peach Tree?  Can you automate dumping
a "pre-invoice" or some sort of structured data dump to files and 
generate your own invoices as a separate process?  What takes the time?
The physical printing or is someone manually doing File->Print?

I am not sure if I understand this. Are you saying that your ISDN
connection is only up (dials out) when connected by some diald (or other
daemon)? And that it connects when you don't want it to?

Use "ps aux" to see what daemons are running. Maybe disable diald (or
whatever dials up) and just connect manually instead.

Look at all your crontabs -- can you correlate some process with the same
time that it dials up?

How often does it try to connect? (What times?)

Re: Accounting Software

2001-05-02 Thread Rich Puhek

An ISP I work with recently offloaded all the ISP billing and account
management to Optigold (www.digitalpoint.com). Optigold should be able
to import everything from Peach Tree without too much trouble (they had
to import from Quickbooks, which can't be too much different). If you
need to hang on to Peach Tree for payroll and other accounting stuff,
Optigold can export the financial data back to Peach Tree every month,
so that you can still track your money and handle the tax stuff as
before.

There are a few other similar packages out there. We had also
investigated Rydopi and Billmax, but settled on Optigold, and have been
happy since.

Newbie from NT exim question

2001-05-02 Thread Gregory Hostettler



Hi!
 
My brand-new exim on potato kernel 2.2.13 used to 
work perfectly for some days. Just before (what a chance!) to go production, it 
stopped working on outgoing e-mails, with this nasty message: '550 relaying to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> prohibited 
by administrator (failed to find host name from IP address)', Port : 25, 
Sécurisé (SSL) : Non, Erreur de serveur : 550, Numéro d'erreur : 
0x800CCC79
 
I guess it is maybe related to DNS. My simple 
problem is "where in the hell do I specify the DNS primary and secondary IP 
addresses under Debian Linux ?" Yes, with Windoze NT, it was quite 
straightforward, either on the DHCP server, or, for statically addressed 
servers, just go to this DNS tab under protocols under NW neighborhood. Just a 
kind of knowing where it is. Guess the same under Linux.
 
I tried to tweak exim.conf, adding a couple of 
sites under "relay_domains". All e-mails for these two sites are going out 
perfectly, as exim does not try to get thier IPs from their names. That seems to 
indicate one more time a DNS problem.
 
Do I have to change anything in host_accept_relay 
(which is actually localhost which points in the hosts file to 127.0.0.1). 
Should it be instead of the loopback, the real address of the mail server ???). 
The token relay-domains_include_locale_mx=true is commented out, and host_lookup 
is set to *.
 
Any help greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your answer, but..

There was no file resolve.conf in /etc, so I created one with the following
entries
search mydomain.ch
nameserver 164.128.36.34
nameserver 164.128.76.39

I did not mention an important fact: We are hosting Web server (apache) and
mail server (exim), but the nameservers are external. After having created
the resolve.conf file, I simply ifdown -a, then ifup -a to reset everything
and tried a ping to www.ibm.com (we know for sure they are up...). Result:
host unknown and no try to go to the Internet (I have a separate line and
router for this test config) to lookup DNS.

I am surely missing something somewhere.

If you can give me a clue to "where to strat looking" I will be really
pleased.

Arrggg. I'm very embarrassed! I hope I didn't cause you too much teeth
gnashing! :-(

As punishment I've been sentenced to install Unix Services for Windows

VirtualDocumentRoot IS mod_vhosts_alias.

I have read the documentation for mod_rewrite and couldn't work out how to do 
this.  However mod_rewrite is described as being "like Sendmail" to configure 
so I may have missed something.  If you know how to do this with mod_rewrite 
then please explain how to do it!

Re: Accounting Software

2001-05-02 Thread Nathan Ridge

With our ISP we started from scratch and now have over 3000 clients so
eveything was a learning process, or accounts manager started using a
Filemaker database that took monthly totals of users in and then was able to
quickly sort and invoice customers even now with somany, Filemaker is very
scriptable, daily can just set the wheels in motion, it will update new
data, send a 10 hour warning and 5 hour remaining reminder to applicable
customers, print invoices of due accounts even cut clients of that havn't
paid.

MSI K7 MASTER MS-6341 MOTHERBOARD

2001-05-02 Thread Landon Hendee


(please 'CC' me your replies. Thanks. This is also my first
posting to any debian.org lists, so if I'm posting to the wrong
group, etc. please let me know. I hope the cross-post is ok, also.)


I'm buying a motherboard soon and want to know if this one is
compatible with Debian.  (Info and specs are at bottom.)

Has anyone tried this board yet? I would like to hear some
feedback about how this board works in particular and also on
whether the chip sets on this board are compatible with
debian/Linux. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Going by all the reviews that I've read, this board looks like a
real "BAD ASS" so I hope and pray that it will work ok.

Could someone recommend a really good CPU and chip set cooler?

I would be VERY interested in finding a good, reliable and CHEAP
place to purchase this board as well as the parts listed below:

AMD ATHLON "C" 1.33G CPU
MICRON/CRUCIAL PC2100 DDR-SDRAM

I haven't really found a cheap place to buy parts from yet.

The cheapest places that I have found so far are on
http://www.pricewatch.com ... These prices *seem* reasonable, but
I was told on IRC that it was still high. The board retails for
around $200 I think.

An incredibly over clocked system was made by tomshardware.com
using this board with a special liquid cooled CPU cooler.

For some background info on the board I have included the
following quote from http://www.chip-online.com

 BEGIN QUOTE 

Test winner: MSI K7 Master (for DDR-RAM)

  The MSI K7 Master with AMD 760 chip set is basically well-
  enough
  equipped to use in servers. The test results leave little doubt
  of this, and in the areas of stability and compatibility, it
  was the only board which didn't allow itself to make even the
  slightest slip-up.

  But, instead of making this board to use in servers, they
  designed it for use in PCs, so the K7 Master can run through
  its paces even for us mortals. We feel the board would easily
  fit into production mastering or also internet/web service, for
  example. A similar quality is noticed in the board's layout and
  description. You don't have to spend much time looking for the
  well-labelled plug-ins or jumpers, for example. Unique so far:
  the K7 Master is currently the only board that really allows
  over clocking of both the CPU-multiplier as well as the FSB.

MOTHERBOARD SPECS FOR:
MSI K7 MASTER MS-6341 MOTHERBOARD AND OPTIONAL ONBOARD UW160-SCSI

  Chip set:  AMD 760
  North bridge:  AMD 761
  South bridge:  VIA VT82C686B
Memory technology:  [PC2100] DDR-SDRAM
  BIOS-source:  Award

RE: DNS calls....

2001-05-02 Thread Jerzy Miszczyk

Hello Jeremy,

Thank you for the response.
I am sorry for brief description of the problem. There is no diald 
installed, the system runs straight forward "isdnutils". Something keeps 
the line up. Every few minutes there is a call to a broadcast address and 
port 138, or a call to a DNS server :(. There is no broadcast specified in 
network configuration for ippp0 (my ISDN interface). I would like to be 
able to see "who" initiates" those calls.

Best regards
"Jersey"

I am not sure if I understand this. Are you saying that your ISDN
connection is only up (dials out) when connected by some diald (or other
daemon)? And that it connects when you don't want it to?

Use "ps aux" to see what daemons are running. Maybe disable diald (or
whatever dials up) and just connect manually instead.

Look at all your crontabs -- can you correlate some process with the same
time that it dials up?

How often does it try to connect? (What times?)
