How to turn off screen blanking

Hello, My computers are primarily servers (Debian/woody) which display diagnostic information. How do I turn off the automatic screen blanking features? Thanks, Doug

Re: What happens when Woody becomes Stable ??

Of course, the smoothest way to upgrade is to use dselect. Brian, Why this assertion? I thought dselect was on its way out... Cheers, Doug

Brooktrout users on Debian

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone else here uses Brooktrout (telephony) hardware on Debian or other versions of Linux. I'm having the oddest problems with mine (Woody SMP 2.2.19 on Asus CUR-DLS server MB) and was hoping I could discuss with you. Thanks, Doug

Re: DNS problems

All connections to my machine are delayed. "telnet localhost" takes 20 secs to connect and another 20 secs to display the login. "telnet 127.0.0.1" connects immidiately, but also needs 20 secs to display a login. Sounds to me the reverse mapping is not set up. Which doesn't make sense because

P3 patch for woody

Hello all, I am interested in using the kernel-patch-2.2.19-p3 with my SMP P3 boxes. However, I would like to get some opinions on it's stability and reliability. I ask this especially in light of the patch's duplication of stuff which is already in the 2.2.19 kernel. When applied, the CPU sel

BIND9 on Debian

Hello, I'm using BIND9 on Debian Woody with Kernel 2.2.19 with several patches (primarily freeswan). I'm finding that it doesn't work reliably in the following circumstances: 1) It doesn't seem to do a proper reload of zone files with "rndc reload" 2) After several rndc commands, the server c

What I am wondering about is: a) Does anyone maintain ssl versions of nss-, pam- ldap and openldap 2.0.1x? Hello, Over the last two days I just completed converting my development environment to a fully LDAP NSS/PAM environment in preparation of converting the entire data center. I used t

OT - Finding old PCI Ethernet cards

Slightly off topic... I am still running an old 1.2.13 kernel system, and I have found it increasingly difficult to buy a system with enough ISA slots for my old hardware. So, I want to put a PCI ethernet card in instead of an old ISA NE2000. (I obviously can't upgrade the software else I woul

BRU and Debian? (Arkeia, other solutions)

Hello all, I was going to purchase Arkeia to run my backups for my mostly Debian network, using my FastStor 22 DLT library. However, my opinion of them changed when they wanted $2,800 to enable the "library" module of the software which otherwise costs only $600. Talk about a rip-off, when "mt

Re: ntpd

I'm trying to run ntpd here to both set the clock and then keep it synchronized with our ntp server. My problem is that ntpd seems to be trying to slew the clock instead of setting it. Here is an example: There is no problem; your description of what happens is correct. NTP does not set the

dselect and delete archived .debs - no

Hi all, I _never_ want to delete the downloaded .deb files. However, I haven't figured out a way to get dselect to stop asking. And, every now and then, I hit one too many returns and it defaults to "delete." So, I often end up downloading the same package(s) several times, wasting my bandwi

Too many slapd processes

Hello, Woody had the 2.0.14 version of slapd (OpenLDAP) upgraded a while ago, instead of the official "stable" 2.0.11 version and also not the 2.0.15 most recent version. Since then, with my LDAP PAM/NSS configured woody box, I get a proliferation of slapd processes - over 20, as reported by

Re: dselect and delete archived .debs - no

man apt.conf In short: Put the line 'DSelect::Clean "never";' in /etc/apt/apt.conf. Thanks! Just FYI, on my woody system, I put it into /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf and that did the trick. That file was created by the debconf package, but adding the line you suggest works. As usual, I

Re: DNS/Domain questions

In short: 1) Buy DNS & BIND, 4th edition, and read it cover to cover 2) Use BIND9 instead of BIND, as that provides "views." Views allow you to present one set of DNS entries to "the rest of the world" and another set internally Cheers, Doug At 11:44 AM 9/28/2001, Matthew Daubenspeck wrote:

Which POP3 server to use?

Hello all, I've been trying to decide which POP3 server to use. My requirements include: 1) Ability to use PAM for authentication, or have a simple way of extending the authentication to use a highly customized authentication scheme (for which I will write a PAM module) 2) Ability to have a s

Re: Raid Card

I use 3ware RAID cards very nicely on my Debian boxes. Unfortunately, they just announced they would no longer be selling them. My vendor says there is enough stock in the channel or about six months. Damn shame; good product. Doug At 01:40 PM 10/8/2001, Jeff McIntosh wrote: Debian-User, I
