cdrecord image
In order to write files to a burner I issue the following command: mkisofs -R -J /directory/with/files | cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -v - However, I can't figure out how to issue the command to write an *iso image to a writable CD.

Re: cdrecord image
Well, just issuing a command like: cdrecord -dev=0,0,0 -v - cdimage.iso starts the processes up and eventually gets to to: Waiting for reader process to fill input buffer ... And it just sits there like that forever. Now, I'm assuming when you say to issue the command: mkisofs -R -J -o cdimage.iso /directory that /directory in this case is where the cdrom is mounted? or what? Anyhow, I tried to do the following: mkisofs -R -J -o cdimage.iso | cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -v - But that didn't work. It immediately completed the job with: Waiting for reader process to fill input buffer ... input buffer ready. cdrecord: Premature EOF on stdin. cdrecord: Input buffer error, aborting. cdrecord: fifo had 1 puts and 0 gets. cdrecord: fifo was 0 times empty and 0 times full, min fill was 100%. I've looked at the man pages, and I'm even more confused.

You could always read the man pages for mkisofs and cdrecord. :-P To create a CD image using mkisofs, add the -o option (example: mkisofs -R -J -o cdimage.iso /directory) To write a CD image using cdrecord, just specify the file name (example: cdrecord -dev=0,0,0 -v- cdimage.iso) I'm not too sure how reliable it is to use a pipe between the two; I would be worried that using a pipe would make a buffer underrun more likely. -- Michael Wardle Adacel Technologies -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

FreeS/WAN on PPPOE
Has anyone had similar problems? Out DSL connection is through a PPPOE connect, unfortunately. Although setting up multiple VPNs has generally been no problem, this time for this office it has been a pain. The only reason we can think of now is because this is first time we've dealt with a PPPOE connection. Has anyone experienced similar problems? If so, were you able to overcome it? Or, perhaps this isn't the problem at all.

Road Warriors on FreeS/WAN
A simple question, perhaps. When setting up road warrior account for FreeS/WAN do Windows users who authenticate with the network thereby gain normal in office network access? Or are there more steps to this. Let me take a step back. I thought I would simplify things by turning on RRAS on a Windows 2000 Server for people needing network access for certain reasons. Well, it turns out the firewall doesn't pass GRE. So, I was returning to my original idea about road warrior, but am not sure whether it will provide what we need.

I have tried compiling my kernel twice now, but the ide modules that would appear in modconf don't show up. What do I need to check?

Re: config file for Kernel compile
Ok, I loaded the previous config file while in menuconfig and it worked great! So, that got some of the stuff working, but I still don't see the items for ide (i.e., there is no ide tree in my /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers directory. I thought maybe that since I had another computer with almost the exact same architecture that maybe I could just copy that tree over to this computer and modprobe the modules that way. No go.

Geological tracking application
Is anyone aware of Linux-based application capable of proving visual geographical tracking? To be more specific: We are a fishing company. Every daily we receive reports from our vessels about their location, water temp and depth, fish caught, weather, fuel, etc., etc. This data is entered into a database. It would great to have an application that could take that data and put it on a map. This way we could track trends, perform historical analyses, etc. I realize there is probably nothing specifically that meets our needs, but close enough that with a little reprogramming would, in fact, work.

Samba + LDAP
A colleague of mine is RedHat nut, but regardless, he has compiled Samba + LDAP to act as a primary authentication server for his company. When he tried to apply it to our Debian environment, he was stumped. So we turned to a Slackware nut, who was also stumped, but decided to forget the RedHat approach and try to do it the Debian way. Well, suffice to say, he was also stumped. So, my question is, has anyone been able to get such working on a Debian server. More specifically, currently an NT4 server provides all authentication in our workplace. I want to shut it down and have a Debian server provide all authentication for Windows clients, regardless of whether they are just logging in to a computer, VPNing, obtaining mail (through an Exchange Server and a Postfix Server).

Offsite backup
I was wondering what options there are for maintaining offsite backups? The most feasible way I can imagine (maybe not the most practical) is to basically tarball everything necessary and then secure copy it to the offsite server. However, whereas I use taper to backup servers, I was wondering whether it is possible to do the following. After backup is complete, would it be possible to somehow then copy all data that was just backed up onto tape media to an offsite server? I'm not sure how that would work at all, but that would be great for consistency (i.e., the backup on tape is the same as the backup off site). Keep in mind that I do not wish to purchase any backup software, btw. Thanks for any input. Curtis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

UPDATE: Relaying restrictions cont.
In addition to what I have written below: It turns out I was wrong about those changes. In fact, it was still relaying. Since then I made the following changes and now it seems to be working more or less. Changes: smtpd_client_restrictions = check_relay_domains, reject_unknown_client relay_domains = $mydestination, $virtual_domains virtual_domains = domain1.com, domain2.com So, now mail can be sent by anyone to either my domain or a virtual domain, but to no other addresses. At least using a mail client and telneting in, I always got a relay reject on any other addresses.

Postfix setup
I am trying to set up a Postfix server, but without any luck. So, I would like to know whether, perhaps, I have been answering some of the Postfix setup questions wrong. The following are the questions and how I answered them: 1. General type of configuration; No configuration Internet Site Internet with smarthost Satellite system Local only HP Whereas, I want to have a mail server for our office, which is accessible not only to employees while in our office, but out of office as well. This server is to serve only our employees of course and not act as a relay, but employees must be able to send and receive messages to and from people outside of our office. Finally, I do wish to have virtual hosts as well. So, with that in mind I chose: INTERNET SITE 2, Mail name? vostok1.com 3. Append .domain to simple address? No 4. Other destinations to accept mail for? vostok1.com, pacifica.vostok1.com, localhost,vostok1.com, localhost 5. Local networks? I just left this as it is by default, since it doesn't really matter, yet. By I would think in the end I will change this to: 10.0.1.0/24 Default is: 127.0.0.0/8 6. Use procmail for local delivery? No. 7. Mailbox size limit: 10 8. Local address extension character? left blank By the way, I also want to configure this server with cyrus.

Leaving local_reciepient_maps = unix:passwd.byname as well as = $relocated_maps, $alias_maps produces the same results. Any ideas on how to rectify this problem?

Re: Pwcheck messing up again
Something's definitely wrong with the way i have the server set up. I finally found the log I was looking for in order to identify the problem as well as the post one Debian user had posted about the same problem. Here's that letter: I straced pwcheck and inetd (which pop3d is working from) and saw that the former tries to open /var/run/pwcheck/pwcheck, and the latter connects to /var/state/pwcheck/pwcheck. As a workaround, I ln -s ../state/pwcheck /var/run, and it works. But I don't understand what has happened. I've searched the archives and read /usr/share/doc/libsasl7/sysadmin.html, but I can't see how pop3d knows that it should use pwcheck and not anything else, or why pwcheck started to look for /var/run/pwcheck instead of /var/state/pwcheck. Could anyone please explain what has happened, and possibly point me to the proper solution? But I looked in /var/run earlier and there was no link. So my symlink must have been deleted or something. It's working again, but I worry that if the server were to reboot due to a power outage that it will be down again.

I have a question, which really doesn't concern quotas as far as I understand them.

At 3.2 I received an error to the effect that there was no more disk space left, although in fact the partition size was about 28 gig. So, just for the sake of it, I copied the file from the server to the partition and it worked! After deleting the file, I tried to perform the original operation again, but it would only write about 1 meg of information and then error out that there was no space. Why would this be happening? btw, I don't have quotas enabled. Curtis Vaughan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

dates on share
I just noticed that whatever I save from my Linux computer over to my Linux server, the date for the file is all wrong! The date will be different depending on how I copy it over there. For example: 1) If I copy through smb mount, then the date is always Dec. 31, 1969. This is the date shown in Konquerer and when in a bash screen. 2) If I copy through scp, then the date in Konquerer is also Dec. 31, 1969, but in the bash screen it shows today's date and time.

proftp or wu-ftp?
I need to set up an ftp server. I've looked at wu-ftp and a little at proftp. I'm wondering what people find to be the better, and easiest to set up. Actually, I'm having trouble setting either up. But let me tell you what I want to do. Right now I need to set up an ftp site that authenticated users can only access in order to download files. Authentication in our network is provided by LDAP w/PAM. I see that proftp has an LDAP package, which I have installed right now. So, it seems at first the better.

I think the default setup requires the user to have a valid shell (listed in /etc/shells) did you check that? What does "getent passwd username" show for a user who can't log on. Also, make sure that "AuthPAM on" is in your config file. As for the default path for users to see (mentioned in another message) I believe that all you need is a section like this: "DefaultRoot /home/ftp" or whatever path.

SBS4.5 with Samba PDC
Has anyone made a Samba server the PDC for a Windows environment with SBS4.5? My concern is that SBS4.5 is going to have problem with relinquishing its PDC role.

Samba permissions
Wow, I thought I knew Samba permissions, but I guess I don't. Currently, any user that has an account on the Samba server has access to the share "Accounting". So, let's say I have user1, user2, user3, user4 I have added user1, user2 and user3 to the accounting group. user4 is not a member of accounting. On the server itself (not for Samba), I set up permissions for the folder as 774 for all directories and files therein. User/group permission are set as admin.accounting The samba section for this share reads: [Accounting] comment = Accounting path = /home/accounting read only = No create mask = 0770 force create mode = 0770 security mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 force directory mode = 0770 directory security mask = 0770 inherit permissions = Yes If any local user access this share, they also automatically become part of the accounting group (as far as samba is concerned). Now, if I add a line "valid users = user1, user2, user 3" then of course, just they can get in. But that doesn't seem to be the right solution. The right solution would be to permit only accounting group users into the folder.

pam
I have found the following document from a post dated Nov. 1999. I am wondering how relevant it is today to Debian. Particularly, the part I have highlighted concerning pam_pwdb.so [ANNOUNCE]: Mini-Policy regarding PAM usage in Debian * // Because of all the questions I get pertaining to PAM and its implementation in Debian wrote a small document which answers most of the common questions and describes things to look for when enabling PAM in applications for Debian. Please feel free to comment, and note this file will be in the libpam0g doc directory on the next upload. Also, for those interested in packaging some small modules from other sources, I have a nice list of some that should be worth while. Please email me for the URL's: pam_krb5: (requires a non-US developer) pam_mysql: auth against a mysql database pam_opie: OPIE style authentication pam_if: provides if/else style syntax for pam.d config files pam_nw_auth: auth against a netware server pam_pwdfile: unix style authentication on databases other then the standard /etc/shadow,/etc/passwd pam_radius_auth: auth against a radius server pam_smb_passwd: helps to keep smb/unix passwords in sync Xauth: authentication agent for X (prompts using graphical interface) Thanks -- ---===-=-==-=---==-=-- / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED]' `---=--===-=-=-=-===-==---=--=---' Author: Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Objective: To document a base set of policies regarding PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) usage in Debian packages. === In order to have a consitent and stable implementation across packages that use PAM, these guidelines will help to avoid some common mistakes and be usable as a cross reference for FAQ's. This document will not go into the details of how to add PAM usage to existing code, please read the documentation in the libpam-doc package for info on this. == PAM Applications == Each application that uses PAM also must contain a file in /etc/pam.d/. This file specifies which PAM modules will be used for the common PAM functions in that application. There are several notes concering what modules to use in this file. Most commonly, the pam_unix.so module will be all that is needed. Under some circumstances (such as ftp auth, or auth based on tty) other modules will be required. The name of this file is determined by the call to pam_start() in the application source code. The first parameter will be a string containing the "service" name (eg. "login", "httpd", etc..). Please make sure that the filename coincides with this parameter. The file should _not_ reference the full path of the modules. It only needs to reference the basename (eg. "pam_unix.so"). This will ensure that the program continues to work even if the module location changes, since libpam itself will resolve the location. *Under no circumstances should any program in Debian use the pam_pwdb.so module by default. Instead the pam_unix.so module should be used. *Most programs with RedHat support/default files will reference pam_pwdb.so in their example files. Do not use this. There are several problems with regard to pam_pwdb.so: 1) It attempts to reimplement glibc's NSS code. For example, if your program uses pam_pwdb.so, and the user changes /etc/nsswitch.conf to use NIS, NIS+, or LDAP, then your program will fail to work unless the user also knows to edit /etc/pwdb.conf (which is not neccesary for pam_unix.so). In the case of LDAP, the program would become absolutely useless until the user modifies the pam.d file themselves to use pam_unix.so. 2) It adds to the layer of glibc function calls making it harder to debug problems. Because libpwdb masks glibc native calls, it requires being able to debug libpwdb, libpam, libc and the offending program. Note that pam_unix.so takes the same module arguments as pam_pwdb.so, so you can just replace the references. If you are not sure if the pam.d files is correctly setup, please feel free to email it to me, and I will glance it over. Currently libpam-modules is in the base setup, so it's dependency is not needed (since the library depends on the correct version). However, if any modules other than the base set in libpam-modules are used, that package must be depended on. The pam_unix.so module allows programs to verify the authentication of the uid of the calling process without any set bits (uid or gid). NOTE: this means the user executing the program, you cannot authenticate agaist other users without suid root (root makes sure the NIS and NIS+ works too) or atleast sgid shadow (wont work in the above
Russian Phonetic Keyboard, pt 2
According to some advice I got, there should be a file ru_yawerty in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols, which apparently is for a Russian phonetic keyboard. However, in my installation of Debian 3.0, KDE 2, there is no such file. So, I found the file on the internet, and copied it over to this directory. According to the advice, I then need to issue the command: setxkbmap ru_yawerty which I did. After which I could no longer even type anything. So, either I got the wrong ru_yawerty file or something else needs to be done. Also, I need to somehow use the yawerty file for Russian and not for English.

Linux on an old machine
Ok, I want to put a linux distro on an old handheld pc. Here are it specs. Most distros, however, don't seem to like the lack of RAM. TOSHIBA LIBRETTO 50CT PROCESSOR Intel Pentiumï 75 Mhz 16Mbit EDO DRAM I wanted to put Knoppix on it, but Knoppix won't like the low ram at all. I would put Debian on it, if I thought I wouldn't have problems with devices. Any ideas about how to do this? Curtis
Question about a networking issue
I realize the following issue I describe has nothing necessarily to do with Debian, but I've found this to be one of the better forums to get answers. Here is a really strange problem we are having between our 2 companies, which no one so far seems to be able to figure out. Our company is in the Seattle area and is connected to our parent company in Russia by a VPN. The VPN, firewall, gateway solution for both our offices is IPCop (1.4.1 in Seattle, 1.3.0 in Russia). In the Seattle office we have postfix server using Courier-IMAP with a POP3 daemon on a Linux server. Last Friday, when the Russian personnel came to work, they were receiving their mail just fine for about 2 hours. Then 5 employees (and only 5 specific employees) were no longer able to receive any mail. They were all using POP3. In the logs I could see that they would LOGIN and the there would be an immediate DISCONNECTED. Given the error they were getting at their end, it was as if they would connect and login to the server, but certain networking issues caused the server to believe that it had lost connectivity with those users. The IT Admin on the Russian side was one of the 5 experiencing problems. His computer was set up to pull mail through a mail proxy server in their office. So, I told him not to use the proxy and circumvent it. Just go directly to our mail server through the VPN. He started pulling mail fine. AHA! The culprit was the mail proxy server. Wrong It turns out only a few people were going through the proxy server. The IT Admin in the Russian office went to the remaining 4 employees having problems and switched them to either using the proxy or not. In the end only one other of the employees starting pulling mail. In his case, he went from going directly through the VPN to going through the mail proxy in order to pull mail. Very strange. I had him try reconfiguring the remaining three to go through the Internet (not through the VPN), but that didn't resolve the problem either. I asked him if they had any switches over there. Turns out they had several. Since he didn't want to shut down the switches till the office was empty, we tried one other solution. We switched the remaining 3 from POP3 to IMAP. It worked! But why? That evening when the office emptied out, he shut down all the switches for 10 minutes. As I understand 2 of the 3 remaining employees nonetheless cannot get mail through POP3, but IMAP works. So, I was wondering why this might be the case? What could possibly be going on? What tests could we do to see what's going on? BTW, we did do telnet sessions from the client computers. What happens is the clients LOGIN through POP3, but then a disconnect happens. Curtis Vaughan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

fsck on /dev/hde1 during boot,
Just installed Sarge on a server with 3 SCSIs and one IDE drive on an Adaptec ATA RAID 1200 A card. The system starts booting otherwise fine, until it gets to apparently running fsck on the IDE drive. Then it errors out with: fsck.ext3: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/hde1 Possibly non-existent or swap device? Then it tells me to run fsck against it or hit Control-D to continue. Doing a Control-D continues the boot process. Whereas /dev/hde1 = / home, all I have to do after booting up is issue the command mount / home and everything is working fine. My guess is that for some reason /dev/hde1 is never mounted during the boot process. How can I overcome this problem? BTW, fstab does have an entry for this partition.

Outlook to Mozilla
I remember recently someone wonderning about converting their Outlook mail to Mozilla. In response someone else noted that Mozilla for Windows can import Outlook mail. SO! The obvious thing to do is to import Outlook mail into Mozilla. It works! Then, copy the folder and all of its contents Mozilla creates (you might want to archive it) and move that folder to your Linux partition. In this case I copied everything to ~/.mozilla/default/Mail/ Here you will find the folder for whatever mail account you have already created - assuming there is no mail in it, I renamed the Mozilla mail account folder (say it was, "AOL" to "Old" and renamed the imported mail account folder to the name of the Mozilla mail account folder (i.e., "AOL"). You may not find this step necessary as this made all of my Public folder available - which I wanted. Under the folder "AOL" you will see 2 folders, one is "Public Folders.sbd" and the other in my case is "a19922df.sbd". In order to get the contents of "a19922df.sbd" to be available, open Mozilla mail. Create a new folder under "Local Folders". Say it's called "Mail". Go ahead and close Mozilla mail. Now, Take the "a19922df.sbd" folder and move it to ~/.mozilla/default/Mail/Local Folders Under "Local Folders" you will see the folder "Mail.sbd" which you just created in Mozilla mail. Delete it and change the name of folder "a19922df.sbd" to "Mail.sbd" Now open Mozilla and all your mail will be there. Actually, it failed to import mail in some subfolders, but I had so little mail in them, that it didn't matter. Good luck! Curtis
Jumping on the printer setup problem bandwagon
Background info: Using potato installed: lprng installed: apsfilter Apsfilter seems to have successfully set up my printer. I assume this as it successfully printed the test sheet. When I try to print any file from bash (i.e., cat printcap > /dev/lp0), however, paper just runs through the printer with nothing printed. Any ideas? Curtis
Re: Jumping on the printer setup problem bandwagon
Trying "a2ps" yields the same results were I to try "lpr": i.e., sending job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 'localhost' requesting printer [EMAIL PROTECTED] error 'LINK_TRANSFER_FAIL' sending str '^Blp' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' transfer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed [Total: 1 page on 1 sheet] sent to the printer `lp' Curtis On Wednesday 30 January 2002 11:54, you wrote: > * Curtis Vaughan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 2002-01-30 14:46 -0500: > > Background info: Using potato > > installed: lprng > > installed: apsfilter > > > > Apsfilter seems to have successfully set up my printer.

Printer bandwagon
Although I hate using this as a solution to problems, rebooting got my printer working. However, in light of the fact that apsfilter didn't offer me an HP4L, I chose just the HP4. This is not the right printer specs obviously. How do I know change the specs to what I need? Thanks, Curtis
Samba clarification
I'm a little confused. Background: We have a network with a single subnet, which is divided between a Windows 'community' and a Linux 'community'. Communications between these 2 'communities' is facilitated by a Samba server - or what we may call a gateway between the two. Recently when I installed printer utilities on my workstation computer, I was informed that whereas samba was not installed locally I would not be able to share out the printer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it all resources on my and other Linux workstations are not shared out to Windows OSes from the local Linux workstation per se, but by the Samba server (which in my case is a seperate box).

In my work, the best way to run a network is to keep to a minimum the number of computers you have to service. Therefore, if Samba can be configured on 1 computer, thereby making all Linux workstation share resource available to all Windows workstations and visa versa, then why install Samba on each Linux workstation?

Networking - in theory
Ok, a theoretical question. If I wish to network linux computers along with Windows computers, it seems that I have to have Samba server on each Linux workstation. Is this correct? Originally, it was my understanding that Samba server was installed only a seperate box that was basically a gateway between, what we might call 2 'networks'. Thanks for some input. Curtis
Messenger
Is there an application that will allow me to communicate with people using MS Instant Messenger (or whatever it's called)? One that will let me log in to hotmail.com as well? thanks
