Problem with apache and includes
I have apache-1.1.3-6 up and running on an otherwise basically Debian-1.2.9 system. Everything is running fine so far, the only real problem is that server includes are not working. Maybe it is worth mentioning that the machine was in fact updated from an older Slackware distribution recently (where server includes used to work) and I decided to also change the http server from CERN to Apache. Ok, what I would like is that lines like the following work again (as they did before with the CERN server): I understand that server includes are turned off in the standard access.conf file. Consequently I turned 'Includes' globally for the whole document root: Options Includes AllowOverride None order allow,deny allow from all Unfortunately this didn't yield the desired result. I read some more of the documentation and tried some other things but without any success so far. So, I am completely clueless and would be very grateful to any help and hint!

Thanks a lot for your responses, Chad and Alvin! I uncommented the respective lines and restarted apache as you suggested.

Re: dpkg-ftp Error - Suggestions?
Hi Kevin, your problem looks slightly familiar to me. If I remember correctly, the error is due to a faulty perl package. Which version of Debian are you running? The fix would then be to download the respective perl package(s) via ftp manually and install them manually with 'dpkg -i '. After that everything should be fine.

Installationreport 1.3 (Not really, just some remarks)
Yesterday, I made a testupgrade from 1.2.14 to frozen on my machine at home and basically, everything went smoothly - big 'THANK YOU!' to the developers. The only real flaw was that '/tmp' had the wrong permissions after the upgrade. Is this ancient bug really still lurking out there? ;-) Another strange thing I noticed after the upgrade was that, while booting, syslogd takes pretty long to come up (about 5 - 10 s). (That is after 'syslogd' has been printed on the screen it takes at least that amount of time until something happens and 'klogd' is printed. Any idea what the reason could be? Regards, Andree PS: For the upgrade I used a Zip-Drive which did work very well: I copied the whole /var/lib/dpkg tree to a Zip disc put it into another computer with network connection made /var/lib/dpkg on this machine a link to the disc and used dselect to update and download the new packages (about 70 MB). Then I interrupted the install procedure, took the disc home and continued the installation to install the new packages on my home machine. -- | Institute of Geophysics phone: +49 40 4123 4389 ANDREE LEIDENFROST | University of Hamburg fax: +49 40 4123 5441 Geophysicist | Bundesstrasse 55 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | D-20146 Hamburgwww: www.app-geoph.dkrz.de -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: A problem
Hi Feng, though I am no real network specialist this looks pretty much like a routing problem to me. If I understand you correctly your win95 clients see other members of there own subnet but no machine in the other subnet with which you are connected via the gateway. I think you should check the default route in your windows configuration. It should point to your gateway. This will make your windows clients send every package that doesn't belong to your local subnet be sent to the gateway and thus transmitted to the other subnet. Sorry that I can't be more precise about the win95 configuration but I just don't remember more without having a look at the configuration menus which I can't at the moment. Hope this helps anyway.

Updating Debian home system from machine connected to network
As the pretty longish subject already indicates, I would like to allow my users (including myself ;-) ) to update there home system from our Debian machines which are connected to the internet. The scheme we currently use works as follows: 1) At home, copy your whole /var/lib/dpkg tree to a Zip Disk 2) At Institute, mount Zip Disk, make /var/lib/dpkg link to /zip/dpkg and with dselect update This works but of course is far from ideal for obvious reasons (i. e. the second step). So, I checked out '--admindir=' for dselect but that did not work as expected. I can't be more precise at the moment because I do not exactly know what is acually happening. One point is simply that the package list isn't updated when I use something like 'dselect --admindir=/zip/dpkg' and, consequently, I can't update anything. So my question is: What am I doing wrong with dselect or is there another program suited for this task. Many thanks in advanc!

WARNING: g77_0.5.20-1 buggy
Here, we have some problems with g77_0.5.20-1. It breaks code in special cases if optimization levels other than -O0 are given. g77.plan (fetched from gate.gnu.ai.mit.edu via anomynous ftp) says: [...] BETA TEST STATUS (last updated 1997-06-24) The latest public beta-test release of g77 is: g77-0.5.20 (1997-03-01 00:20) -- the front end gcc-2.7.2.2 -- the back end Version 0.5.20 is known to have many bugs at this point (see "Bugs pending or being on" below), and, in particular, the version of gcc in this version (2.7.2.2.f.2) has some bugs that afflict a few source packages out there. Users of 0.5.20 should do one of the following: - Uninstall 0.5.20, replace it with 0.5.19.1, including gcc-2.7.2.2.f.1 (which is built by 0.5.19.1). - Leave 0.5.20 largely installed, but replace the cc1 (and cc1plus) executables with those from 0.5.19.1 (versions 2.7.2.2.f.1) or with those from a vanilla gcc-2.7.2.2 distribution. This is more risky, in that g77 users still could encounter the bugs, but at least they get the new features in 0.5.20. [...] And indeed, going back to g77_0.5.19.1-1.deb and gcc_2.7.2.1-4.deb from Debian-1.2.18 seems to solve the problem. I haven't filed a bug concerning this against the g77 package because it definitely is an upstream problem and downgrading as specified above seems to be a workaround. But maybe someone feels differently or you, Galen, may have an idea what to do about it.

Help needed: weired name resolving behavior
I just managed to nail down a problem that appears every now and then with name resolution. One of our name servers - the first listed in resolv.conf - is currently down and I was not able to resolve anything until I changed the order of the nameserver entries in resolv.conf. Before I did that e.g. ping www.uni-hamburg.de just gave me ping: unknown host www.uni-hamburg.de after a decent while. I always thought that the nameserver entries are tried subsequently until one try succeeds or there is none left and that's what the resolv.conf man page says, too: [...] use the name server on the local machine. (The algorithm used is to try a name server, and if the query times out, try the next, until out of name servers, then repeat trying all the name servers until a maximum number of retries are made). [...] Just for completeness, my (fairly simple) resolv.conf domain dkrz.de nameserver 136.172.100.240 136.172.60.68 136.172.60.241 So, am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong? Some additional remarks: The name server is not really down, but under maintainance and not accepting any connections.

Re: epson Stylus 600
Salut Franck, you are probably looking for some kind of printer filter. Debian offers you 2 different packages for this task: apsfilter and magicfilter (both in the 'text' section). They not only print ascii and ps but many other formats, too. I recently switched from apsfilter to magicfilter, because the latter is more elegant and slim plus I also switched from lpr to lprng. apsfilter comes with a nice installation script but is somewhat unflexible and as far as I can see no longer actively maintained (i.e. the upstream source, not the Debian package). magicfilter is a little harder to get to work (at least for me it was) although there is a program called magicfilterconfig. But it is *really* easy to write your own filter if none of the existing ones works for your printer. The core question for both packages, however, is whether (better: to what extent) ghostscript supports your printer. With 'gs -h' you get a list of available devices. There are several starting with eps and st, I don't know which one is compatible to the Epson printer you have. For further information on ghostscript have a look at: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ There's also GhostScript 5.01, but it's not yet debianised. Maybe you also wnat to visit this page dedicated to Epson Stylus Color printers: http://www.fammed.sunysb.edu/holve/epson.html Regards, Andree -- | Institute of Geophysics phone: +49 40 4123 4389 ANDREE LEIDENFROST | University of Hamburg fax: +49 40 4123 5441 Geophysicist | Bundesstrasse 55 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | D-20146 Hamburgwww: www.app-geoph.dkrz.de -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Hi Tom, first of all I didn't see your reply on the list. To get as many people involved in helping with your problem it is really a good thing to discuss on the list - otherwise people simply don't hear you.

Re: I just can't get 1.3 to work using dselect....
Hi Tony, there we got it! Some of your library links are trashed. (ldconfig manages all shared libraries on your system and says that it can't find neither the main C library nor the math library.) Probably the fix is pretty simple: Login as root, delete the dangling links /usr/lib/libc.so and /usr/lib/libm.so. Then create new ones pointing to the available library files: /usr/lib/libc.so --> /lib/libc.so.5.4.33 /usr/lib/libm.so --> /lib/libm.so.5.0.9 In case rm and ln do not work (because of the missing links) you have to boot from the rescue disk, mount your /usr system and make the links.

Re: Diald & modem forget irq #
Hi Will, did you perhaps compile the serial driver as a module? If so the behaviour is quite clear. When the serial module is unloaded the hardware configuration, i.e. IRQ and IO is lost. Upon reloading the module the default values are used. Consequently, the solution could be to compile the serial driver into the kernel rather than as a module.

Re: clock/time
Hi Timothy, to my knowledge, Debian is reading time and date from CMOS when booting. Make sure you have the right timezone, the correct CMOS time - either local or GMT - and that the system knows what it is - local or GMT. Besides, under Debian you can read and write the CMOS clock with the clock command in /sbin (not /usr/bin/X11). Further, you might want to have a look at the adjtimex package. It corrects CMOS clocks which are usually notorious for either speeding or creeping.

Hi David,
you can use 'dpkg-split'. It's in the 'dpkg'-package, maybe only in the

'split' from the 'textutils'-package. It also comes with a manpage.

Re: Gcc errors while compiling 3com updated driver 3c59x.c
Hi again, you're welcome ;-) However, thinking of it, why would you want to patch the kernel for a 3c590 card? The one in the machine which I use to write this mail works perfectly with right this card under the stock 2.0.30 Debian kernel package. In case, there is something newer/better available for a newer better card: After having patched the kernel (and having checked ther e were no rejects) you usually can access any new feature via the various configuration methods. And the subsequent usual makes sgould give you a new kernel with the new feature. I think (but am not sure) that kernel modules are not mere object files but that there is a wrapper that forms an interface between the kernel and the module.

Re: question...
Hi Rafael,
you probably only have to configure the third serial port COM3 in 'DOS
language' or '/dev/ttyS2' for Linux.
To do this make sure the 'setserial'-package is installed. Then open the
file '/etc/rc.boot/0setserial' with your favourite editor. Goto the line
that says:
#${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS2 ${AUTO_IRQ} skip_test autoconfig
${STD_FLAGS}
and remove the comment sign '#'.
You might also want to set a higher interface speed. Consult the
setserial manpage with 'man setserial'
Execute the script - reboot or just type
'/etc/rc.boot/0setserial'. (Is there a reason why the latter
shouldn't work?)
That's it! The only thing you need is a decent terminal program like
'minicom' or 'seyon'.
Just a remark: In case you want to use the serial driver in the kernel
as a module it is important to use the standard values for io and irq.
And I'm not sure if this will work for COM3 and COM4 at all when using a
module. (Probably it does - anybody has more knowledge on this?)
Regards,
Andree

Re: X-windows/Trio64/16 bit colours
I think the problem is as follows: As of xfree-3.3, XF86Setup generates the modeline for the 1024x768 resolution with a clock of 85 MHz instead of the 80 MHz previously used. This is basically a good thing because you generally get higher refreshing rates. However, they only could do this because they also raised the maximum frequency of many graphics chips from 80 MHz to 85 MHz for 16 bpp, too. Unfortunately, for the Trio64 chip they still stick to the old limit (they might have good reasons though) of 80 MHz, and thus the modeline doesn't work in 16 bpp mode. I consider this a bug. The fix is to use a modeline with 80 MHz clock frequency, e.g.: Modeline "1024x768" 80.00 1024 1028 1164 1264 768 787 793 822 -hsync -vsync Do not use this modeline blindly, it may burn your monitor if it has not at least a horizontal frequency of 64 kHz!

Re: I just can't get 1.3 to work using dselect....
Hi Tony, ok, let's see. If I get you right, the installation of the base system works correctly. You can boot your Debian GNU/Linux system from harddisk, you have got a network connection. Fine. Now to the problems. You start dselect, choose ftp as access method, do an update (This works?), select your packages, start install. And then it stops with the dpkg-something-message you posted. Did you try not to call select and not to change the selection and go directly to install after access and update? Does this fail, too? If you haven't got through the installation process, I presume, you don't have gcc on your system - it's not on the base disks. (Soemone correct me.) I do not understand why dselect should fail, though. But first things first. Could you try to download the gcc- and cpp-package from stable and install them manually with dpkg -i . Does this work? If not, could you post the output?

Re: More diald problems.
This IMHO is not correct. From the diald-man-page: PPPD OPTIONS When diald is being used in PPP mode extra options can be passed on to pppd by specifying them after a "--" on the command line. This should not normally be necessary as default options can be placed into the /etc/ppp/options file. But, if you need to run multiple instances of pppd with different options then you will have to make use of this ability. Note that some pppd options should not be specified, not even in the /etc/ppp/options file, because they will interfere with the proper operation of diald. In particular you should not specify the tty device, the baud rate, nor any of the options crtscts, xonxoff, -crtscts, defaultroute, lock, netmask, -detach, modem, local, mtu and proxyarp. Use the equivalent diald options to control these pppd settings. This to my mind clearly states that the defaultroute option has to go in the *diald* options file *not* in the one for ppp. Regards, Andree -- | Institute of Geophysics phone: +49 40 4123 4389 ANDREE LEIDENFROST | University of Hamburg fax: +49 40 4123 5441 Geophysicist | Bundesstrasse 55 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | D-20146 Hamburgwww: www.app-geoph.dkrz.de -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: mouse problem
Salut Patrice, I think the problem has to do with the device you are using. As far as I know, the cuax-devices can normally be used by one process only at a given time. E. g. if gpm uses device /dev/cua0, as in your case, and then the X-Server is started it can't use the mouse because device /dev/cua0 is locked by gpm. The solution is to use /dev/ttyS0 instead of /dev/cua0 because the ttySx devices can be shared between processes. By the way, I think that Debian is shipped with a symbolic link /dev/modem that you set during the installation procedure. Programs which use the mouse like gpm or the X-server use this symbolic link as mouse device by default. So, the right way in terms of Debian policy is probably to change/create a link /dev/mouse -> /dev/ttyS0 and to make programs use this link as their mouse device (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Re: automatic mounting of CDs
Well, RTFM ;-). Ok, the package provides documentation in /usr/doc/amd and there are examples in /usr/doc/examples/amd. There are things both in doc and in examples that refer specially to auto-mounting removable media. There is even a program that umounts and ejects cd's. The new maintainer Roman Hodek has really been hard-working - Wham Bam, Tank You Ma'm! Amd uses so called mount maps. The excerpt from my one that tells amd how to handle my cdrom-drive reads (location: /etc/amd/amd.server): I) [snip] cdrom type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/scd0;opts:=type:=iso9660,conv=auto,ro; [snip] Further, there is a file /etc/amd.master. Mine reads: II) -a /amd -x noinfo -r -c 5 /etc/amd/amd.server Now, you can do a 'cd /mnt_amd/cdrom' and the cd gets mounted at /mnt_amd/cdrom. After not being accessed for more than 5 seconds it gets unmounted automatically. In detail: II) o '/etc/amd/amd.server' is the mount map of which I) shows an excerpt o '/mnt_amd' is the place where the devices get mounted o '-c 5' tells amd to keep idle mounts for 5 seconds o the rest is from the amd.master template provided with the package I) o 'cdrom' means the cdrom-drive gets mounted under /mnt_amd/cdrom o 'type:=ufs' means it's a unix file system, i. e. the kernel knows what to do with it o 'dev:=/dev/scd0' tells amd to mount th first scsi-cdrom o 'opts:=type:=iso9660' tells the kernel exactly which fs-type to use o 'conv=auto,ro' mounts read only and unmounts when idle (not sure about the last one) First Note: If you don't want to wait 5 seconds for the unmount, you can diminish the repsective parameter or you can use the included eject-program (and e. g. bind it to a button in FVwmButtons or the like). This unmounts and ejects your cd with one mouse click. Second Note: If things don't work as you expect you perhaps really should have a look at the manuals. Amd is in fact very powerful and can do a lot of very sophisticated things to your file system structure. On the other hand this means that things are sometimes a little more tricky than they should.

Re: Wrong permissions of /etc/rmtab?
I just tried to export a file system from a machine which does normally export nothing so no '/etc/rmtab' existed. Result: again (IMHO) wrong permissions, '/etc/rmtab' was created world writable. So I think I'll file a bug-report... Thanks again!

Re: first installation, network problem
There is no specific gateway configuration file. The gateway is defined in '/etc/init.d/network'.

Re: first installation, network problem
Hi Bob, interesting point. I think you are right: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root12476 Feb 14 02:22 /bin/ping However, I wonder why ping has to be setuid root. Anybody more knowledgeable than me out there?

Re: first installation, network problem
Hi Peter, I did not mean the ownership of ping but that it's user ID is set to root when executed (the 's' in the permissions). Sorry if this was not clear.
