 That will not fix his problem.  Since it will automatically mount at
 boot, it will be mounted by root.  That means that only root will be
 able to unmount it.  Of course, this will not fix any of the ownership
 issues.

Why not mount it from crontab with an @reboot parameter?

That's the norm with gmail, the exact reason I forget now. I think gmail
sees the returning mail as a dupe and drops it. But be assured we do

Yes, that's why I said that this was only 'generally' true.  The above
compromise relies on an Apache (remote) exploit as well as any
subsequent local kernel exploit.

Anyway, as a general rule: keep your systems security-patched, and use
an OS which allows you to do this without introducing new/different
functionality :-)

Not anymore, I haven't seen this message anymore since I stopped and
later removed (purged) the lpr package.

Well perhaps the lpr package tried to access a printer connected to a
parallell port?  I don't know: I configured my (USB)printer using Cups
and it (still) works.  I can't remember ever configuring lpr, perhaps
it looks for a parallel printer with its default settings?

Anyway: removing lpr solved the problem for me, hopefully it does so
too for the OP.  If so should we consider this a bug in the lpr
package?

I've been reading up on ReiserFS and it seems more than a few people
have had problems with it. I choose it 2 years ago because of its good
performance when handling lots of small files. Right now I am thinking
of going the really conservative way and return to ext3 again.
Performance might be worse, but in my experience and from what I read in
the Internet it is rocksolid. I suppose that means fiddling around with
parted to make space for a new /home partition. Ah well...

My pendrive transfers files at ~1MB/s under my home sarge system, but

even for 1.1.
How do I get 1MB/s under etch?
thanks!

Did anyone not read my followup to myself (bad form, I know) that I
solved this quite simply and easily?  Once mounted, change the
ownership and group to whatever and it will hold through reboots.  It
has worked several times now, so I consider the issue solved.

Thanks for the replies, but this is not as complicated as it seems.

Greylisting with sendmail - anyone?

[Brett Charbeneau]

Greetings all,

	I've been trying to set up an anti-spam measure called greylisting on my 
Debian 3.1 box with sendmail.
	"milter-gris" from snertsoft.com comes highly recommended but it claims 
there is a version mis-match between sendmail and makemap (I can't figure out 
from which package the latter even comes from) so milter-gris says it cannot 
read the hash in /etc/mail/access.db.
	That being said, there *is* a greylistd .deb package for exim, but 
nothing for sendmail.

"relaydelay" has a nice page here:

http://www.thing.dyndns.org/debian/grey.htm

	but the instructions seem pretty complex and I'm reluctant to introduce 
a tarball milter to the sendmail .deb packages for fear that the planet will 
blow up, etc.
	So: anyone out there using greylisting with sendmail? I'd be very 
grateful to hear from you!

If you use procmail, try the following recipe before the messages are
threated by spamassassin:

[ '/home/michelle.konzack/.procmail/FLT_outlook_hello' ]


# 
# FLT_outlook_hello
# 


:0 H
* ^X-Mailer:.*Outlook
* ^Received:.*\(helo=\[[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\]\)
.ATTENTION.FLT_outlook_hello/



Between 15.10.2006 and today, this filter has catched over 17.000
Spams coming over  or  without
a singel FalsePositive.

And since I do  not expect Messages send by Outlook:

[ '/home/michelle.konzack/.procmail/FLT_outlook_suspect' ]--


# 
# FLT_outlook_suspect
# 


:0 H
* ^X-Mailer:.*Outlook

In procmail you can use:

Make sure you have the vsync and hsync values correct for your monitor
(see the monitor manual) otherwise you will get this.

Subpixel rendering should not affect this, but it can improve clarity as
the xserver knows more about the screen so can change the way pixels are
lit up to look better.

I would try purging udev, then purging hotplug and reinstalling udev (I
had warnings when installing udev to purge hotplug).

Anyway, mine works but there are loads of rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/

They should be created for you, but I wonder if your hotplug package was
interfering?

Oh.  Well, then, is slapd the only LDAP server in Debian?  (think so, I
looked)

Then is it possible to set up slapd to use the regular /etc/shadow for
passwords?  One of the errors I get a lot is invalid credentials.

Second, is it possible to connect to the LDAP server without putting
anything in it, like with a GUI like lat or luma?  Or do I have to put
some records in it first?

I'll try to do some reading about LDAP in general too, but I've tried
several different HOWTOs without success.

You should be able to do the natural resolution of the monitor
with no problems. (That way you get the shapest image).  What you
describe is what you get when you have a larger virtual screen running
on
a smaller physical moniter.

Huge is a relative term. Try running a 30" (2560x1600) moniter. But the
fuzzieness could be from running a LCD at other than its natural
resolution.

So the lpr package is not installed on your system?

If not the only other thing I can recommend is shutting down all
services on your system one by one untill the message flood stops.
(tip: run tail -f /var/log/syslog in one terminal and stop the
services from another terminal.)

That way you can at least track down the culprit.

Just in case: stopping services can be done by executing (as root) the
scripts in /etc/init.d/ with the parameter "stop".  E.g. to stop the
lp daemon that caused the problem on my box I used:
# ps -ef | grep lp # to see if the service is running
# /etc/init.d/lpr stop

The "catch" is that the daemon is (was) called lpd while the init
script was named after the package: lpr.

aptitude dist-upgrade removes important packages

[Marko Randjelovic]

When I run "aptitude dist-upgrade", it says some packages will be removed:

The following packages are unused and will be REMOVED:
 bug-buddy eog esound fast-user-switch-applet file-roller gcalctool
 gconf-editor gdm gedit gedit-common gnome-backgrounds gnome-cards-data
 gnome-core gnome-games gnome-games-data gnome-keyring-manager

 libpt-plugins-v4l python-gnome2-desktop system-tools-backends vino zenity
 zip

There is obviously something wrong because I use many of these packages. 
It wants to remove whole gnome. If I use apt-get, 0 packages are to be 
removed.


Is this some bug in aptitude?

Why don't you just do 'arp -ad' as root?

/usr/sbin/arp is in the net-tools package, so 'aptitude install
net-tools' is your friend, if it is not already installed.

How do you come to the conclusion that the stable etch installer
wouldn't work better with that laptop? If any linux works with your nic,
so should debian etch and it's installer (except perhaps, if it needs
some non-free firmware). The installer team has made some great progress
with the installer, recently releasing the current release candidate
[2]. I guess you have a fair chance to give it a try. You should also
send a report about your installation to either confirm that everything
went smoothly or to help improving things for the future.

RE: 32<->64

[David Gluss]

 
32 bit programs run on AMD64 systems.  That's what makes them
so good.  32 bit libraries are in the /lib32 and /usr/lib32 directories
on this
system; there is a /usr/lib/libstc++.so, but no /usr/lib32/libstdc++
so 64 bit c++ programs work but not 32 bit ones.  There is however a
/lib32/libc.so, so 32 bit C programs work fine.

What has likely happened is that one of these packages keeps the others
installed.  It was installed to meet some dependancy and is not
required any more to meet that dependancy.

Run aptitude interactive.  Go down the list and ensure that anything you
want installed (as opposed to installed to meet a dependancy) is set to
manual install.  For example, go to gnome-core and ensure that it
doesn't show that its automatically installed if you want gnome.  Ditto
zip.

Most likely it is not a bug. It seems that some packages have been
marked as "automatically installed" and no other package on your system
depends on them anymore. In that case aptitude will remove these
"unused" packages unless you change that configuration option. 

This should be fixable by running

aptitude unmarkauto '~M!~R~i'

to remove the "auto" mark from all the packages on which no other
installed package depends.

There was a discussing regarding this matter on this list a week or so
ago; check the archives.

Meanwhile, Debian installs "synaptic" by default.  Use synaptic
instead of aptitude.

Cannot fix broken package libc6_2.3.6.ds1-7_amd64.deb

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I've made a big mistake !

I have launched a full upgrade via package manager on a etch
amd64 with the testing repository checked.
The installation stops with this message:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.6.ds1-7_amd64.deb:
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib64', which is also in package
nspluginwrapper

Now libc6 appears as broken and there is no way to fix it.

Anyone can help ?

usbmount:
"This package automatically mounts USB mass storage devices (typically USB
pens) when they are plugged in, and unmounts them when they are removed..."

Seems like doing an umount after/during unplug would lead to data loss
if the device had been written to recently.  How do buffers get flushed?

That 'should' have worked, but oddly, dnsutils does not list the files

well, I would guess that ndiswrapper is way less important than
libc6. can you purge ndiswrapper and then maybe it will go.

you might be able to override the errors and get dpkg to install it
directly from the .deb

Note that I don't use amd64 and have also never broken libc6, so these
are just my ideas on what might work

not that this was reported to me (which should have been the right

I tried to install xmms-singit, but how do you actually start it?
This vital information seems to be missing from the README file. I
could not manage it so far. However, I do know that kinput2 is
obsolete, and should basically not be used for inputting Japanese.
Better to use uim/anthy or scim/anthy. What is your locale?

Use a _Sun_ USB keyboard. Don't use a PC keyboard, don't use a dongle -
otherwise you get randomness.

Suns, in my experience have "different USB" - certainly, I had to dig
up a Sun USB keyboard to get a Linux install to work on a relatively 
recent Sun.

My two cents: Booting from NFS and just mounting ordinary NFS shares
once the system is already running are two completely different things
with nothing in common but the name 'NFS'.

I had the same problem last week after compiling a customized kernel.
I forgot to select the "SCSI disk support" option. As far as i know
it's necessary to create a /dev/sd...

The "SCSI disk support" option is not enabled when you choose "USB
Mass Storage Support", but most USB storage devices need it.

You'll find "SCSI disk support" in "Devices Drivers" and then in "SCSI
device support".

Of course, if you did'nt compile your kernel, the lines above are out
of topic.

I don't think that is too good.  I upgraded a few days ago and the
xorg upgrade blew out X, so if I only had synaptic installed, I would be
dead in the water.  I hope that at least apt-get would be installed as
well.  apt isn't shown as a dependence for synaptic BTW.

I haven't run synaptic in a few years but did not like it way back then.

vmware on debian etch

[H.S.]

er ... I am not sure if I should be asking this in this forum since 
vmware is not open source.


I wanted to play around with vmware server and installed it on my etch 
system in /usr/local.


I also intalled vmware-mui in /usr/local as well.

When I browse to localhost:8333, I get an empty page, only the footer 
text is being displayed.


The installation seemed to have gone alright and the modules were also 
built without any complaints. I am not sure where the problem could. I 
installed vmware from its tgz sources.


If somebody has been successful in installing vmware in Debian Etch, I 
would love to know how you did it.

Interaktion between LVM and RAID

[Manfred Schuler]

Hi All,


I'm using software RAID to protect against media errors, and then LVM
built ontop of the md device to allow for maximum versatility.

In the boot sequence LVM is started before mdadm.
On  one of my servers LVM detects a LVM-Superblock on one of the RAID
disks and claims this device as LVM disk.
When mdadm is started, the RAID array cannot be assembled correctly,
because one disk is already used by LVM.

I changed /etc/rcS.d/S25lvm to /etc/rcS.d/S26lvm and everthing worked fine.

I'd like to report this as a bug, but I don't know if LVM is too early
or mdadm is too late.

Can you please give me a hint?




Best Wishes,

Manfred

I am pretty certain that the above command does what I think it does: It
will make sure that no packages are erroneously removed because aptitude
thinks they are unused. It will not do any more than that. You are
obviously asking for a massive upgrade (and you did not provide this
important second part of the output in your original message) and
aptitude might have to remove packages because of other problems, e.g.
conflicts, missing dependencies, etc.

I would run "aptitude keep-all" to cancel all actions and then
investigate the issue. To this end I would first try to ensure that the
system is self-consistent, i.e. aptitude should not want to change
anything if you run "aptitude install -fsD". (This is a safe command
which will simulate what would be done and give some explanations about
reasons for automatic installs or removals.) If aptitude already wants
to remove packages without being asked to (dist-)upgrade then you have
to find the reason for this and eliminate it. The most common cause for
this problem are top-level packages which are mistakenly marked as
"auto".

Once the system is self-consistent you can try the upgrade again. The
difference (if any) between "upgrade" and "dist-upgrade" might help to
find the reason of unwanted removals; the "-D" option can also be
useful. If aptitude keeps acting up with many blocked packages and
automatic removals then you might have one or more of the following
problems:

- incomplete /etc/apt/sources.list
- broken /etc/apt/preferences (e.g. package pins)
- non-Debian packages which have screwy dependencies
- installed backports (in case you are trying to go Sarge -> Etch)
- problems with /root/.aptitude/config

Make sure you have the vsync and hsync values correct for your monitor
(see the monitor manual) otherwise you will get this.

Subpixel rendering should not affect this, but it can improve clarity as
the xserver knows more about the screen so can change the way pixels are
lit up to look better.

Anton


Thanks Anton,

I checked with the manual and changed what xorg.conf had to the values
in the manual (Horiz: 30 - 82; Vert: 50-75) but everything looks the
same (running at the recommended 1680x1050) with the extra space on
top.  The manual also states that I should be running at 60 Hz but the
monitor reports that my video card is running the Horizontal at 65 KHz
and the Vertical at 60Hz, is this something that can be changed in
xorg.conf or am I mixing information there?

My Nvidia card is fairly old, could it be a video card issue (looking
for an excuse to buy a new one anyway).  Speaking of, using the nv
driver produces the same result as the binary driver.

Well, since nobody has really bothered to answer your question, I'll try.

What footer text is being displayed?  Are you accessing the URL as https, not 
http?  If you go to https://locahost:8333/ you should be redirected to 
https://locahost:8333/vmware/en/ Are you?  What browser are you using?  
Konqueror didn't work for me.  Firefox worked great.

That's all I can offer for now...did anything I say help?

I do get the redirected url you mention above (ending with en). But all 
I get is a gray text that seems to be a footer (with the copyright 
notice etc.). I did this on Mozilla and Firefox, both. And yes, I was 
trying the https url.


I have read the other replied, and I just now uninstalled vmware. I am 
going to try the rpm now and I'll see if that works.


Just for completeness, here is the text I get (in light gray near the 
top of the page, there is nothing above this text, apparently the page 
is empty and only this text is being displayed):

is there an easy way to go back to stable from testing? the stuff i've seen on 
google so far is not encouraging in this regard.

Re: ViewSonic Widescreen and resolution settings

[Dave Bellows]

Another update.  I am now running Kubuntu off a live CD and it is
displaying everything correctly.  A quick perusal of the xorg.conf
file didn't reveal any different settings.  Perhaps the version of
xorg?  I will keep investigating and I appreciate any help or
suggestions.

Thanks Anton,

I checked with the manual and changed what xorg.conf had to the values
in the manual (Horiz: 30 - 82; Vert: 50-75) but everything looks the
same (running at the recommended 1680x1050) with the extra space on
top.  The manual also states that I should be running at 60 Hz but the
monitor reports that my video card is running the Horizontal at 65 KHz
and the Vertical at 60Hz, is this something that can be changed in
xorg.conf or am I mixing information there?

My Nvidia card is fairly old, could it be a video card issue (looking
for an excuse to buy a new one anyway).  Speaking of, using the nv
driver produces the same result as the binary driver.

Yes, that is the right text. :)  Do you have javascript turned off?  Any other 
security features?  The login page seems to make use of some funky iframe 
stuff, as well as Javascript.

Re: vmware on debian etch

[Russell Ost]

I've been using VMware player and Workstation for over a year now. The 
default installation script works for both Sarge, and Etch without 
issue. My current image (Etch) can be found at www.netliving.com. VMware 
publishes a link to my server on VMTN. Over 10,000 images have been 
downloaded within the last 11 months. I update the virtual machine every 
few months. Hopefully, this helps spread the joy of Debian.

I wanted to play around with vmware server and installed it on my etch

I also intalled vmware-mui in /usr/local as well.

When I browse to localhost:8333, I get an empty page, only the footer 
text is being displayed.


The installation seemed to have gone alright and the modules were also 
built without any complaints. I am not sure where the problem could. I 
installed vmware from its tgz sources.


If somebody has been successful in installing vmware in Debian Etch, I 
would love to know how you did it.

RE: NFS Setup/Configuration

I have not thought of this but I am logged in with root from my
workstation which does in fact have the same password as the one on the
NFS server.

Also, I checked my PORTMAP file and it is not listening on the loopback
address (127.0.0.1).  That line is in fact commented out.

hoestly speaking, I am quite new to all this virtualization stuff. I 
started looking at it only yesterday, so I am going to ask a few newbie 
questions.


I understand that VMware server is free. Are there any other 
applications from them that are free (workstation?).


Once I install vmware server, I want to install Windows XP in the 
virtual machine. This is possible, right? And, er .. a few hints how to 
go about this?


I got stumped when my web interface didn't work. I am going to give it

Hmm...that is odd.  Are you getting any error messages in the logs 
under /var/log/vmware-mui?  Specifically access_log and error_log, but look 
in the other files too.

Good point.  Last time I tried was 8 months ago and I would rather do
an etch install than a sarge+upgrade.  So I'll give it another shot.

You need to have read a recent installation manual when you do the
install, and have it handy as you go through the install.  The manual
provides a plain-text form to fill out and mail, with instructions.

Last time I did an etch install with a netinst iso on a USB stick, it
took 20 minutes.

There is no server-side GUI with VMWare server.  Use the VMWare server console 
to access the server-side process.

Re: ViewSonic Widescreen and resolution settings

[Dave Bellows]

Yet another update.  I manually set the display size (according to the
xorg wiki multiplying the resolution by the dot pitch) which did not
help.  And then I looked at the log and saw this ominous looking line:

Virtual Screen Size determined to be 1680x1200

It should be 1680x1050.  Why is the virtual screen being set to a size
larger than the actual resolution?

suggestions.

I am not sure I understand this. After the step I mentioned above, I got 
the web interface gui and was able to login. When I gave the 'vmware' 
command as a normal user, I got a GUI window in which I am now 
installing Windows XP after creating a new virtual machine. Is this the 
same GUI you are talking about? I haven't installed any other vmware 
packages yet (only the server and mui; no console). In the message bar 
at the bottom edge of the GUI window I do see a message sometimes that 
"vmware tools are not installed" or some such thing.

Hmm...I was not aware there was a local GUI.  Sounds cool.  I just the Server 
Console on my local Linux box to connect to the VMWare Server on our server 
box.

Glad you got it working!

Re: NFS Setup/Configuration

[s spidas]

It's quite straight forward actually

1.  Make sure 'nfs-common' is installed on all the clients (I'm assuming all
clients will be linux boxes),and that both 'nfs-common' and
'nfs-kernel-server' are installed on all servers.  (apt-get install 
will solve dependencies if any).

2.  Modify the following files (3 of 'em) on the server;  A:
/etc/exports; B: /etc/hosts.allow   C: /etc/hosts.deny

A. /etc/exports   (this is the access control list for all
filesystems to be exported)
 e.g. to export /home as read/write to computers on 10.10.0.0
/home
10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

(will give access to /home to all computers on network 10.10.0.0)

(note that there must be no white space between the options!) (for
explanations see man nfs)

  B. /etc/hosts.allow   (list of hosts that are allowed to access the
system).  To protect your system, define specific service access.  Avoid
giving blanket access to all.  You may use the following:

  portmap: 10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0
  lockd:  10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0
  mountd:   10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0
  rquotad:   10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0
  statd:   10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0
  sshd:   10.10.0.0/255.255.255.0

 C.  /etc/hosts.deny  (list of hosts that are NOT allowed to access the
system.

ALL:   ALL


3.  Now force a re-read of the nfs/exportfs by issuing the following command
as root:

 #:  exportfs  -ra

4.  You may check that things are working ok :   rpcinfo -p

5.  Go to a client, and as #:  mount :/share   .
e.g.   #:  mount 10.10.0.200:/home  /mnt

GOODLUCK!

 All,

I have been trying to setup NFS on my home Debian systems.

I have followed all the stuff from nfs.sourceforge.net but I keep getting
Permission Denied errors when I try to mount the Exported folder.

Here is what I have…

:: PXE Server ::
tftpd-hpa
pxe
nfs-user-server

I know that my TFTP/PXE services are working properly because I network
boot a PC and I get the boot prompt/menu.

:: exports ::
/tftpboot/debian-live 
10.1.1.0/255.255.255.240(ro,no_root_squash)

:: hosts.allow ::
ALL:10.1.1.0/27

:: hosts.deny ::
'empty'

When I try this…
mount -t nfs 10.1.1.23:/tftpboot/debian-live /nfstest

I get the error…
mount: 10.1.1.23:/tftpboot/debian-live failed, reason given by server:
Permission denied

Can anyone shed any light on this subject?
If I run tcpdump on the PXE/TFTP/NFS server I see the client trying to
connect but it never gets connected.
I do not see anything in any of my log files which would help me out
either...

Thanks in advance,
Stephen

Re: NFS Setup/Configuration

[Nate Bargmann]

I have had an ongoing issue with the later versions of mount which was
claimed to have been fixed in bug 354075:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354075

I have held mount at version 2.12r-6 as anything later refuses to work
with my NFS server, also running Sid.  The latest version I've tried is
2.12r-12 on 25 Oct and I even tried with the (then) latest kernel,
2.6.18 on the laptop (the server was at 2.6.18) and found no change.

I would like to hear from anyone who is experiencing the same problem.

As an aside, I am running Shorewall on the server and Firehol on the
laptop to configure Netfilter.  Still, disabling both firewalls has no
effect for me on the failure.

Surely, I can't be the only one in the Debian Universe with this
problem.  ;-)

clvm vis aoe/ocfs2 ?

[Tim Post]

Hello to all, 

Just curious if anyone has experiences with clvm they would like to
share? From an administrative and performance perspective, how does clvm
compare to just using ocfs2 / AoE with lvm2?

Thanks in advance!

Re: usb drive errors with automount

usbmount:

Seems like doing an umount after/during unplug would lead to data loss
if the device had been written to recently.  How do buffers get flushed?



Seems like it'd just have to mount it with the "sync" or "async" option.

/etc/ld.so.conf for dpkg-buildpackage issue

[Scott Edwards]

I'm building a lib under sarge in a debootstrap chroot as a normal
user (and fakeroot).  When it gets to this part, it's trying to modify
the system /etc/ld.so.conf (which is naughty afaict).  What's the
proper way to prepare this?

Thanks

- Scott.

Hmm, looks like you forgot to add
/usr/local/src/libcommoncpp2-1.5.1/debian/tmp/usr/lib to
/etc/ld.so.conf.
I'll try to fix it for you (but pay attention to libtool's output
next time, ok?)
/bin/sh: line 1: /etc/ld.so.conf: Permission denied

Well, that didn't work.  Remember to add
/usr/local/src/libcommoncpp2-1.5.1/debian/tmp/usr/lib to
/etc/ld.so.conf if you want to use this library.

I think, installing requires *real* root. And your make target is
running some kind of install, as you can see.

can't find tcpd messages in system logs

[Brian Sammon]

According to various tcpd docs (manpage, READMEs) it logs information via 
syslog.
However, when I do 'grep -i tcpd /var/log/*' I see nothing.

I have tcpd 7.6.dbs-8 and sysklogd 1.4.1-17 on my machine.

I have stripped my /etc/syslogd.conf down to the following single line, (and 
restarted inetd) and still nothing:
   *.debug -/var/log/debug

I get messages in /var/log/debug from various other programs and daemons, but 
nothing I can recognize as being from tcpd.

What should I be looking for in my log files?  Am I looking for the wrong 
thing, or should I conclude that something is not working right?  Or (C), none 
of the above?


Miscellaneous possibly useful details:
x86 machine
running a mix of Sarge and testing packages, with a few older ones mixed 
in--Apt does not complain.

not that this was reported to me (which should have been the right

dvd+rw-tools. even version 7.0 has been very "predictable" in the last time.

  

sorry to answer this late!

it is *no* software fault: dvd+rw-tools works - after extensive tests - 
flawless.
the hardware, dvd-reader/writer gave up - on a for me completely - 
unpredictable way.
