adding ipfwadm rules
I've been playing around with masquerading (which has been going surprisingly smoothly -- great!:-). Well, I've got enough confidence in this that I want to have it come up whenever the machine is up. Being the Linux newbie that I am, I was wondering there the most appropriate place to add the ipfwadm lines would be. I'm thinking they'd be a "natural" for adding to /etc/init.d/network, but I was wondering if this is a good place for such commands or whether there's a standard place for such things.

Read the man for xauth, of course, then do: Here: `xauth list unix:0.0' ... and highlight everything from `MIT' through the end of the line with the near button. Then, in an xterm where you're logged into the other machine, do: `xauth add here:0.0 [PASTE with middle button]' ... and hit enter. That will make an `xauth' entry on the remote machine, so it can authenticate itself for display authorization. The reason it needs authorization is that X Windows programs have the ability to send synthetic events to other programs through the display server. (I'm not an expert, yet; I've got the XBooks pack, but have read only one or two of the documents.) Programs running on separate computers can rendevous through a third machine's Xserver, where you sit, controlling programs on several computers whos displays are in front of you. This means drag-and-drop operations across machines and architectures can be done, and that a subwindow inside an application can be run by a program on the mainframe, while the app runs on your workstation, and things like that. It wouldn't be safe if just anyone could put a window up on your display and watch what you type, or send events to your programs, from anyplace on the global internet, without proper authorization. I think that's all there is wrong. I don't think anything from X uses PAM yet. -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Karl M.

Well, you should not modify or touch something that already exists, like
/etc/init.d/network. You should definitely create your own script under
/etc/init.d (call it ipfwadm, for example) and the run update-rc.d
(see man update-rc.d) to update the links to /etc/init.d/ipfwadm in the
/etc/rc?.d directories.
A good start point is this script that [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(Jaldhar H. Vyas) posted to Debian-user a couple of weeks ago:

/sbin/ipfwadm -O -f

echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/ipfw {start|stop}"

Modify the above script acording to your needs and put it in
/etc/init.d/ipfwadm, then run update-rc.d.

I must correct my earlier message on this subject. I certainly did get that error message, but I was not upgrading bash.

I have a similar system. Bootup from the install disks for me was always *extremely* flaky. I've found that if you wait until the system hangs, turn off the machine, then turn it back on again (and mutter the right incantation :-), it will boot up normally. Lilo will also hang the machine, but LOADLIN works well.

Well, here is my 2 cents : Pros: Large, competent volunteer development staff Automated installation and upgrade over ftp using dpkg and dselect Timely, friendly, competent help with problems via this list There is a Debian package for almost anything you could want Cons: None not shared by any other Linux distribution, or any other large software project of any type, for that matter.

If you have a working ppp options file and chatscript, just stick them in. No kernel recompiles, ect like in the old days. For a new setup, just edit the /etc/ppp.options_out and the /etc/ppp.chatscript files. Bring the link up and down by running the pon and poff commands (shell scripts) as root.

Sounds like you may not have set the download for binary transfer. On a typical ftp session I type "binary", to set the tranfer mode to binary, then type "hash", to give a visual indication of the transfer. If I am going to do multiple file transfers with mget, then I also type "prompt" so I don't have to say "y" for each file. If you don't set binary mode for transfers, ascii transfer mode is usually the default, resulting in only 7/8ths of the data getting sent to the target file.

I use it here without any problems. Normaly you have to edit two files (/etc/ppp.chatscript and /etc/ppp.options_out) and perhaps /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (if your provider uses the PAP authentification method) - and you should get a connection.

I have a Toshiba Satellite T2130CT; I don't know how much that differs internally from yours. Suspend/resume works wonderfully. I just close the cover and it suspends. I had to go back to the Dos partition and enable it with the Windows Control Panel. Mine also has that function on the keyboard, but I forget which of the function-key icons is for suspend (could it be the lock? or the water faucet? or the suitcase?). Does the screen show where you left off and then it hangs, or what does it show on the screen when you restart? If I leave my computer suspended and unplugged for three days or so, I get a blank screen saying "RESUME FAILURE". I then press a key and it reboots.

I took some notes of exactly what was needed for me to set ppp up: 1) edit /etc/ppp.chatscript and /etc/ppp.options_out, pretty straight forward using the comments in chatscript, never had to change the options. 2) chgrp and chmod ppp.chatscript and ppp.options_out so it is readable by members of group dip. 3) add appropriate users to the dip group (/etc/group) 4) set up the dns in /etc/resolv.conf (or say you are connected to a network during the installation process, it will prompt for this). 5) make a link from /dev/modem to the appropriate /dev/ttyS? All done, use pon / poff to start and stop the ppp connection (or you could use diald I guess, never used it myself). Is there a step by step in the install notes like this?

dpkg not installing modules
Upgraded to 1.3 from 1.2 -- noticed the lack of appletalk and netware modules in the base distribution. dpkg would also have trouble getting the module .o files into the appropriate library directories. After a little work with dpkg, depmod and modconf, I got appletalk and ipx modules up and running, but I still can't get ncpfs to generate ncpfs.o anywhere for modconf to detect install into the kernel. Without them, modprobe (at startup and manually) generates a "can't find module ncpfs". I am probably forgetting something really basic (like don't run your machine through a mangle), but I can't for the life of me figure out what.

Concerning PPP:
I picked up a script from a friend that makes setting up ppp
extremely easy. A few Q&A's and it's done. I slightly modified it to
write to /etc/ppp.chatscript and /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer, and when
summoning the ppp daemon I added the options: persist crtscts
ipcp-accept-remote ipcp-accept-local modem. It takes care of resolv.conf
as well by prompting the user for their ISP's domain name and name
server's ip. However, it doesn't address ppp.options_out. Under most
configs this should not be a huge problem.

Ok, then why not adopt some default standard (Say PAP like windows does) that you MAY CHANGE but for newbies, asks them what the phone number is, what their password is and username and then sets the darned thing up to act like Win95 does on a PPP login so that any ISP that supports Windows DUN by default (this is about 100% of US providers and probably a very large percentage of the rest of the world) also supports Debian in ITS default configuration. Just have the system ask "Would you like to set PPP up like Win95 DUN" or something and if you say no, it just leaves things like they are.
