running rsh and ssh?
At work we've been running a linux network for the past six years. This is a isolated network. Everything is linux except for three machines. One dual boots win98se to run a payroll program. One mostly runs in win98se to run a credit card processing program. One runs SCO to handle a CAD/CNC program. It is not very important to keep the SCO machine connected, but would be convenient for backups. My first concern is what to run on win98se that will handle ssl and provide good terminal emulation, and samba. (I don't know much about windows or its culture.) What to run? The default installation of ssh seems to want to replace rlogin outright. I want to run ssh/ssl beside rlogin and then phase rlogin out. How to? I've been using rlogin with a TERM hack on several machines. That is if TERM contains a semi-colon, execute it as a program. How do I duplicate this effect with ssh?

Help! Exim & verizon.net

Telnet your smtp host, issue the EHLO command and note the response. $ telnet your.mail.host 25 EHLO What you are interested in is AUTH LOGIN PLAIN AUTH LOGIN=PLAIN In /etc/exim/exim.conf in the transports section under smtp_remote you want to set authenticate_hosts to your.smarthost.

Help keeping a news spool
I like to run a local news spool, but I only have newsreader access with my provider. I like to use trn or strn to read from the local spool. What is the best way to do this with Debian?

Occasionally I run Red Hat on one of our servers because that is the blessed distribution of a software vendor and I check if the application's bugs might be resolved by having the "right" libraries. Red Hat is much more appropriate for a PC that is outside of IT's domain. It is easy to set up with RH's defaults. Debian is marginally more difficult to install. The difficulty is knowing what services/packages you want installed. Debian is much more attuned to the Unix geek, redhat adds many bits of indirection which will trip up a unix geek.

This lets the install finish but the cdrom/dvd is not found. Dvd is my backup so I am concerned. I would like to move to 2.6. I would like to develop to something current and udev seems like it would allow the mounting of devices at mount points by labels or serial numbers. Specifics follow. Thanks.

cfengine2 Beginner problems.
Hi. I'm trying to set up two Debian Sarge machines as my playground for cfengine. My initial goal is to have a simple edit of my /etc/motd files. I have gotten this working only on one host--the policy server (PS) serves itself. I feel uncertain about the location of files on my PS. There are references to /masterfiles, /var/cfengine/inputs, /var/lib/cfengine2/inputs, /etc/cfengine and the cf_install_dir. Does "cf_install_dir" only refer to the location of the cfagent binary on the client (host running cfagent)? What is the difference between /var/lib/cfengine2/inputs and /var/cfengine/inputs? Is this just a Debian packaging artifact? Which versions of update.conf and cfagent.conf should go where on the PS and other clients? I know I have a problem with authorizations. My PS has a fixed localdomain IP: 172.16.2.2, this localdomain is nameserved without any authority by dnsmasq. My other client is in the same localdomain but is a dhcp client. Running "cfservd --debug" on the client I see that the PS host is recognized but the user, root or me, is not authorized. I have been doing too many voodoo incantations. Help. Thanks.

grub and swapping out drive
I want to install grub to (hd1) so that it is ready to be used as (hd0). I have Debian 3.1r0a up. On /dev/hda2 (hd0,1) is my root. On /dev/sda2 (hd1,1) is a cloned root. I want to remove the IDE disk at /dev/hda and boot from /dev/sda2 which will then be (hd0,1). I have no floppy drive. By cloned I mean (modulo typos): fdisk /dev/sda; mke2fs -j /dev/sda2; mount /dev/sda2 /mnt; cd /; cp -ax . /mnt; grub-install \(hd1\); grub gives me "Hard Disk Error". What is the grub invocation I need? Thanks. rir -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Some of the replies you have gotten seem to miss the point of "bare metal recovery"; which is to come back to your basic system without out having to think about configuration. It presumes that your "metal" is the same hardware configuation, more or less per the particular recovery program. Accordingly the satisfying ones derive the recovery system from the live system; this puts the sysadmin in a comfortable environment. I will recommend the Debian package "bootcd" to your attention, this is rather like Yard but for cds or dvds, and more modern. Summarily: bootcd lets you copy a bootable cd from your system, it lets you exclude directories from the copy. I have the practice of keeping a spare "rescue" root partition on most machines. This is occasionally a great convenience. For me this is just a Debian base install with a few extra programs. Grub is also to be recommended over lilo for recovery. Grub allows a wider range of command decisions to be made at boot time. rdev is slick but it doesn't offer redundant redundancy, so it is more convenience than real data safety. I use cpio to write all my backups. After you dig around to find a 5.25 floppy drive, or some other old hardware, you do not want to be trying to determine how to decipher some odd backup format or look for a 8 year old version of an OS that will run on current hardware and may run the appropriate restore program, if you can find a copy of it. Lastly, Preston's _Unix_Backup_&_Recovery_ seems to be the only good treatment of the subject. Be well, rir -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Where is CPU/Mem Usage Applet in sarge
In debian 3.0 there was a nice compact "CPU/Mem Usage Applet 1.4.0.5" that took very little screen space. Is it, or something much like, available in Sarge? Thanks. Be well, rir -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
