Stupid Stuff
Hello, I know that this might sound silly, but I'm a long-time Microsoft Windows/MS-DOS user who wants to switch from Windows 95 to Linux; and I would like to know which files do I need to port Linux into my system; because I've been wrestling with the FTP for over 10 hours and I still didn't get any results.

Q: Second Ethernet Card
I am planing on purchasing a 256k DSL to my Linux server. I currently have one Ehternet card that is connected to my home PC with a crossover cable. I will need to purchase an additional Ethernet card for my Server to connect to the DSL connection. Should I purchase the cable and then completely rebuild the server from the ground up with the two Ethernet cards, or just place the second one in and go from there? If I just place the second one in, what will have to be done to get it online? BTW - As I get ready to place my server on the net with DSL, I was planning to setup Sendmail for email, Apache as my Web Server and TIC as my Firewall (to protect my home PC on the other Ethernet card). Does this look OK? or is there something else I should do? Thanks.

Thank you in advance for your help! This is just a standard reply and not personal to you. It is the same advice I give about 10-15 people a day when I am opping on the #linux channel on dal.net. If you have no experience with Linux before, do *NOT* attempt an FTP install. Because it is a new OS and you're not sure on what is what. Trying to FTP on top of that just just compounding the problem. Buy a CD. Everything is there that you need that way you only have to worry about installing and not also what, exactly, to download. Personally, I do FTP installs now. However, I have two years experience with Linux under my belt across 4 versions of Slackware, 1 of Red Hat, 1 of Stampede and 1 of Debian. Even with all of that I am still leery of doing an FTP install and have a trusted Slackware CD, a bakup Linux machine and my Windows machine to fall back on in case I screw up. -- Steve C.

new kernel-2.0.34 missing filesystems?
Fellow Linux users: I have downloaded both the patch and then the complete source for the newly released 2.0.34 kernel. It appears that at least the following filesystems are no longer supported in the kernel: FAT, msdos, vfat, iso9660. Could this be true? If so, why? I realize that this is not a debian-specific topic, but we all are Linux users. Surely there is a mistake somewhere (my part I hope)! PS: I am also using 2.1.103 on another machine which does contain the support for these filesystems. -- /--\ |James D.

This may be a silly question but it's related vaguely to the above which has already been brought up. Has anyone had trouble with AIC7XXX support for 2.0.34?

debian program to list junk in filesystem?
Is there a debian-specific program that will go through a filesystem and lists stuff that doesn't belong, like alien files, old directories which have not been deleted because they are not empty (I get a lot of these messages), etc.?

What package? I don't advise using any package. Debian has one, but it's kinda geared for static IP. See the IP Masquerade HOWTO for info on setting up IP masq in your kernel and the ipfwadm commands to make it work. These commands go into either /etc/init.d/network (not the best place lest your connection to the net is 24/7) or in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ipmasq, a short sh script you'll write. Don't forget to make a corresponding script in ip-down.d/ to remove the forwarding commands. I believe the HOWTO explains this too. pgpDAYY0NM9CD.pgp Description: PGP signature

Ok there are a few workarounds hereall depending on how worried you are about security and esp about your own users. A) you can make pppd suid root (or sgid dip i would guess). (not a nice option) B) try this install sudo ...edit the /etc/sudoers file to allow www-data group to run pon as root (or as group dip). Then edit your cgi to use sudo to run it (btw you will need to allow this with no password) [read the docs on sudo] As long as you are not worried about your own users trying too hard to subvert security, that should work. The main problem would be if THEY could write their own CGIs and use them...then they could write a cgi that uses sudo to run pppd...of course...then they need to be able to do something with that (they need some way to exploit that ability) on the whole this solution should work... there are of course other ways... this is just what I can think of off the top of my head... NB: be carefull...it is very easy to make a mistake editing sudoers. just last night I made my girlfriend an sudoer to let her run pppd so she can connect to my isp and use itI accidently did it wrong and gave her full acess with no password to any command (I didn't fix it tho cuz I am not worried about her having that acess through sudo..._) -Steve PS what i sthe cgi written in? is it perl? have you thought of suidperl? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

isapnptools confusion.
Hello my debian friends, I just got a pentium II with an awe64 sound card, and I want to have sound capability. I know I have to recompile the kernel for this to work. I also know that I have to use isapnptools. I am running slink (2.0) kernel version 2.0.33 (from the base disks) I have not recompiled the kernel yet for sound support. I read the awe-sound-howto and other relavent documentaion. I followed it upto a certain point. What I have done so far is: # phpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf (as root) it gave me this isaphp.conf file, but I am stumped on what to do next. Do I have to get source awe sound drivers? I thought I could use the awe.deb packages once I got the card to be recognized. Can any one shed some light on my lack of knowledge of isapnptools and how to use them to recognize pnp cards.

At least it is comforting to know that lawmakers, lawyers, etc will be "the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes" (no empire lasts forver...I just hope the current ones don't last much longer) it is so silly to think that someone can, in good faith, try to help people out by compiling information for them, can do this without being asked, for free...and can be sued for it by some ingrateful slime am I the only one who sees the sad irony in that? on a more practical note I have to wonder, are there any cases where someone wrote something like this, and distributed it freely to anyone who wished to have it, for no charge (not necissarilly on the net but preferably) and been sued for bad legal advice? Moreover have any of these disclaimers seen all over the internet on pretty much every document, ever been "tested in court". I ask mostly because courts tend to be very weird in that all of the "legal analysis" in the world really tends to mean jack shit until a real case comes up and it happens in court.

pppd disconnects after authenticating
(I'm dialing from a win95 machine to my Linux box) Immediately after I authenticate (using PAP), pppd disconnects me and windows just says to try connecting again... I looked through all the logs for any kind of error or warning, but i didn't find anything -- even with debug on. The last pppd line contains the correct login name and password. Why is pppd disconnecting me? I'm using the lastest Debian hamm/slink packages (pppd 2.3.5).. kernel 2.0.34pre16 with ppp support built in. Anyone experiancing similar problems? How can I resolve this issue? Also, I don't know if this makes a difference with connecting to pppd, but I have not configured any networking settings for pppd (other than the options.ttyS1 and /etc/hosts files)...

Why is pppd disconnecting me? First, who is authenticating who? It's quite likely that the linux box is trying to get W95 to authenticate it. I have no idea how you would deal with that at the W95 end. Are you using mgetty to answer the call. I think it may have a default setting of +pap on the /AutoPPP/ line in /etc/mgetty/login.config which you might need to override with -pap or nothing. Lastly, pppd is rather matter of fact in its log files. It isn't an "error" when authentication fails; it's the Right Thing. So rather you should look for LCP packets with ConfRej in them. Here's an example from an old email I sent a while ago to someone else.

/dev/sga and /dev/dsp no longer accessable
I have a fully upgraded hamm system. I upgrade with dselect almost daily. I recently tried to use my scanner under GIMP and it said: Failed to open device 'umax:/dev/scanner' invalid argument. A day or so later I tried to play a RealAudio feed, but it said 'Cannot open audio device'. Just as a test, I tried xanim on a .wav file, and it said 'Can't open /dev/dsp device'. All of these things worked a week or so ago, but I've upgraded using dselect more than once in that time so I'm afraid I don't know which packages were installed that resulted in this problem. I do have a hard drive image tarball dated May 13th that I unpacked to another partition, and everything works there. Don't know if that date will help at all. It can be assumed that the May 13th image was up to date within a day or two. I could just update the May 13th image package by package, but that would be a bit tedious, as you can imagine. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great, otherwise, that's what I'll do and at least then I'll know which packages breaks access to these devices. Cheers, Matt P.S. I did scan the May and June list archives in hopes of finding someone else with this problem, but didn't see anything.

IP masq was:PS/2 mouse device
On Thu, 4 Jun 1998, Nick Gillam wrote: > Also, what Debian package is required for IP Masquerading. I have a Debian System that does IP masquerading, here is how I did it. First, echoing an earlier comment, consult the HOWTO on this subject. I read somewhere that the masquerading code in kernel 2.0.33 is more stable than in earlier kernels, so I got the source for 2.0.33 and compiled it using the Debian kernel package. You will need to compile in support for firewalls, ect, per the HOWTO. Here is my setup: mapleloop connects to the outside world using a modem and ppp. It has a regular internet ip address assigned to that connection. mapleloop connects to a dual boot NT/Debian machine through an ethernet card (eth0). I have assigned ip=192.168.1.1 to that connection. I have assigned 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 to the ethernet card in the dual boot machine. It uses one address for NT, the other for Debian. I am allowed to assign these ip's because this part of the network is private; these ip's will never be seen by the internet. I run bind on mapleloop for the benifit of the dual boot machine. This is available as a Debian package. I added the following to /etc/init.d/network in mapleloop. This is probably the wrong place for it, but it works. (Maybe someone more knowledgeable can tell us where it *should* go.) ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 up route add -net 192.168.1.0 eth0 ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/3 -D 0.0.0.0/0 insmod ip_masq_ftp There is also ip_masq module for irc I think. You will need this module too if you use irc behind the firewall. Before I installed the ip_masq_ftp module in the firewall machine, ftp clients behind the firewall would sometimes drop connection and abort in the middle of a download. I understand you can also fix this problem by configuring your clients to work in passive mode, but it is easier for me to just use the module. I configure the dual boot machine to point to 192.168.1.1 for both gateway and DNS services for both operating systems. Not exactly on the subject but related: My only printer is connected to mapleloop. I connect to it from the Debian remote machine by configuring lp as a remote printer in the printcap of the remote Debian machine. The remote NT machine obtains print services from mapleloop by using the LPR method in printer setup. See the NT help utility for details.

It turned out that i did indeed have .32. After a few hours, I gave up and did a clean install of frozen on another partition.
