Re: user X session at boot
Yep, on my box, I have my X session start for me, with a locked
screensaver starting on top of it. It's great so I can turn on my box, go
and get some food, and when I come back it will be ready to use.
I attached the file I use (tailor it to your needs). Put it in
/etc/init.d. You'll have to run:
update-rc.d startmyx defaults 99
It's a quick-and-dirty hack, but it's something to start with.

I'm assuming you meant "can I crack web-sites with Linux?". The answer is
yes, but you can do that with many other operating systems. Also, nobody
here is going to help you degrade yourself to being a script-kiddie. I
started using Linux in the hope of cracking computers too, but at the same
time as I started learning Linux, I started growing up. I realized it's
not really worth it to bother with cracking. Too much hiding, justifying,
and power trips. Take it from me: it's not worth it. Become a real
hacker, not a cracker (script kiddie) like on TV, but someone who displays
expertise and wisdom in creation, not destruction.
From the Hacker's Jargon File:
:hacker: /n./ [originally, someone who makes furniture with an
axe] 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable
systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most
users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. 2. One who
programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys
programming rather than just theorizing about programming. 3. A
person capable of appreciating {hack value}. 4. A person who is
good at programming quickly. 5. An expert at a particular program,
or one who frequently does work using it or on it; as in `a Unix
hacker'. (Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and people who
fit them congregate.) 6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. One
might be an astronomy hacker, for example. 7. One who enjoys the
intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing
limitations. 8. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to
discover sensitive information by poking around. Hence `password
hacker', `network hacker'. The correct term for this sense is
{cracker}.
The term `hacker' also tends to connote membership in the global
community defined by the net (see {network, the} and
{Internet address}). It also implies that the person described
is seen to subscribe to some version of the hacker ethic (see
{hacker ethic}).
It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to describe
oneself that way. Hackers consider themselves something of an
elite (a meritocracy based on ability), though one to which new
members are gladly welcome. There is thus a certain ego
satisfaction to be had in identifying yourself as a hacker (but if
you claim to be one and are not, you'll quickly be labeled
{bogus}). See also {wannabee}.

That is a big no-no. A non-expert just can't live up to the quality one should expect from Debian.

Maybe, but does rpm support "Suggests", "Recommends", "Provides", "Hold", "Section", "Priority", package-based "Depends", or even text-based databases that you can grep? No. The Debian motto has sort of always been to do things the right way, even if it means being different. If it weren't for the speed issues of dpkg (IMHO, the database should still be text, but binary cached), I suspect most other distros would be using it as well, as it really displays the quality and intelligence that is Linux. Conformance and ease of use have never been high priorities of the Debian community. The reason there are multiple distributions of Linux is so you can choose which ones you like. If you don't like Debian, I suggest you get another distro.

Re: Modem connection transfer rate
Those are compression modules. Basically, PPP provides a compression layer, so when easily-compressible data is send over the wire (eg. text/images), it gets compressed, thus being faster over a modem. The compression modules get loaded when you establish a connection with compression enabled. This is generally a Good Thing. So don't worry. Those modules are always there (in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/??misc??), and they get dynamically loaded into memory. Sorry for being redundant and repeating myself.

Parallel CDROM on an old PS/2 machine
I've made some custom Debian install disks (2.2 kernel, basically), that
has support for an EPAT parallel-port cdrom drive (HP CDRW-7200e). When I
boot it at home, it works fine, and successfully detects the CD, but at
school, where I'm trying to install on an old IBM server (SCSI/MCA; it
came with a bunch of old PS/2 workstations, if that's a hint), it
refuses to detect it. I've included pretty much every parallel and SCSI
driver, and all the MCA stuff I need, but the box simply won't find the
drive.
Trying to boot DOS and use DOS drivers for the CDROM locks up the box.
Anyone have experience? Also, this might be in a man page (which one?),
but how do I set up a compiled-in token-ring driver for this? I want to
mount an SMB share (of the Debian CDROM, as a last resort, if the
parallel drive won't work).
It sort of sucks, because this server (and workstations) do not have an
internet connection, so I can't telnet into my box to read docs as I think
of them, so does anyone have and past experience with this type of thing?

Re: Modem connection transfer rate
Sorry, I don't remember, exactly (it was on my old RedHat system, before I wiped and went to Debian) something like: REPORT CONNECT REPORT CARRIER then you had to add something to the script that calls chat, so the reports get written to some file (why I said RTFM, because I don't know). Basically, wmppp.app checks the file that those reports get sent to for the modem line like: CONNECT 49333/ARQ/V90/LPM/BLAH/BLAH to detetrmine what your connect speed is. If you can figure out where wmppp looks for it, and can set up the chat script (and PPP script that calls it) to write reports to that file, all will be good.

MD5/bigcrypt passwords with potato
I did this on RedHat months ago, and how do I do it in potato? I want passwords longer than 8 chars, whether it be MD5 or bigcrypt or whatever, I don't care how (although I'd like to be able to preserve other people's old passwords, if it's easy enough), but I miss this functionality in RedHat, and I suspect it's possible with Debian. -- "I already have all the latest software." -- Laura Winslow, "Family Matters" Dwayne C.

Re: hwclock and fear of rebooting
Shouldn't be. You should actually let it calculate the drift under

reboots were fine.

Re: adding win 95 partition
If you need to look at splitting an ext2 partition. Have a look at ext2resize. It seems to work for me, but MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR FILESYSTEM MOUNTED READ-WRITE, OR IT WILL GET CORRUPTED IRREVOCABLY. Other than that, it works great for me.

IPv6 on home network
I'm a total newbie to IPv6. I have 2 Linux boxen on my home network
(connected via ppd over a null-modem cable). My box does NAT (10.x.x.x
<-> dialup dynamic IP) for the other box's internet connections.
Basically, I'd like to convert this "network" to IPv6, and run IPv4 over
top of that. Eventually, I'd like to get onto the 6bone, but for now I
just want to set up an IPv6 intranet to get things working.
Anyone have any experience with any of this, or some good IPv6-newbie
links to point me to?
Thanks.

Re: adding win 95 partition
Okay. Here's what you do: 1. Start up fsck, and shrink the partition you want to shrink, but DO NOT SAVE THE PARTITION TABLE, just look at the size you get, and write it down. 2. Make sure the filesystem is at least mounted read-only, preferrably not mounted at all. 3. Run ext2resize /dev/whatever 4. run fsck again and do like step #1, but actually save it this time 5. Reboot. 6. Do what you want with the extra free space. On Sun, Oct 24, 1999 at 09:20:43PM -0700, Eric G . Miller wrote: > On Sun, Oct 24, 1999 at 09:52:59PM -0600, Dwayne C .

Really weird (and cool) WP8 bug, try it
I have Corel WordPerfect 8 (free, as in beer, version) for Linux, and it has the weirdest bug in the world: You start it up and type: There's 10 of us. and boom! it segfaults. Something to do with the proofreading grammar checker (which has to be on). What's neat is, you can start some pretty nasty FUD, because the following will also crash: Microsoft Office is bug-ridden, but you know what? There's 100% of those bugs in Corel WordPerfect too! and it segfaults. Ouch! Try it and post the results. More details: There's 10 of us. - Grammar "As-You-Go" proofreading must be on. - Uses the free (beer), downloadable version of Corel WP8 for Linux. - must have a space or nothing before and after the sentence; enclosing it in quotes doesn't cause the crash. - expanding the "There's" to "There is" doesn't cause the crash - Other words, such as "them", "those", "these", "their", can replace "us" and still cause the crash. - "10" can be replaced by a number (literal or spelled-out) that is two characters or more long. (not 0 1 2 3..., but 11 150 ten twelve fifty-six etc.) - Reinstalling WordPerfect did not fix it. This crash occurs on two Debian systems, an i686 and an i586, both running 2.2 kernels (2.2.11-ac3, and 2.2.13) Again, try it and post the results. -- "I already have all the latest software." -- Laura Winslow, "Family Matters" Dwayne C.

Re: 2.2.13 resc disk?
I've done it. But there's not enough disk space in the standard boot disk to do it on one disk, thus you need to spplit the rescue disk into two. Assuming you have the rescue images on your hard drive, here's what you do: 0. Compile your kernel (see below) 1. mount the rescue image (you need loopback support) on, say, /mnt/alt 2. move the initrd.img out of the image into somewhere else on your hd 3. copy your new vmlinuz-2.2.13 from /boot into /mnt/alt/linux 4. edit /mnt/alt/syslinux.cfg and change the 2nd line to something like: APPEND vga=normal noinitrd load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1 root=/dev/fd0 5. edit the /mnt/alt/debian.txt to say that it's a 2.2.13 kernel (optional) 6. umount the rescue image 7. dd if=resc1440.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k # boot disk (#1) 8. dd if=initrd.img of=/dev/fdo bs=1k # root disk (#2) Remember, for simplicity's sake, that everything you need on bootup should be compiled into the kernel, not as a module. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, then e-mail back and I'll try to be less terse. Please tell me, roughly, how experienced/able you are with these things, so I can give you the best help I can.

Re: annoucement: auto-login patch for xdm
I have this script as /etc/init.d/startmyx. It auto-logs me in on tty9, and
xdm can still run on tty7.
It could be modified to run xdm after startx finishes.
So my question is: who really needs a patch to xdm?

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of not rebooting -- keeping everything running while you reinitialize one program?

I'll see about that.

Yep. It works fine. Also, the pings are actually going out of the firewall
and coming back, but the firewall doesn't seem to see them to route them back.
In fact, I can only tell that the replies are coming back when I use iptraf
and put the card in promiscuous mode.

Re: IP forwarding
Some more information about my problem: As soon as I do an "ipchains -P MASQ" (yes, I know that's evil), the pings work. So, I can do masquerading. It seems the routing code isn't telling my 3c509 (or tulip card, I swapped them) card to recognize IP addresses of other nodes in the network. Am I having some kind of ARP problems, maybe? -- Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists.

Re: IP forwarding
> In english: > append to forward chain that on interface ppp0 from our internal network to > any destination jump to Masq'ing. > > Here's the problem: I don't *want* to do masq'ing. The ethernet card/network subsystem is not picking up that it's supposed to forward packets from the cable modem (that's what it is) to the computers on my home network. The firewall's address: 24.15.16.190 My workstation's address: 24.15.16.179 The gateway after the cablemodem: 24.15.16.1 Note that I don't have a whole subnet, just a few addresses. But I think it's a more low-level problem than ipchains. The logs show nothing about return packets, and I only see them with iptraf in promiscuous mode.
