Off-topic: Good Solaris guide?
by Martyn Drake 30 Sep '99

30 Sep '99

Off-topic, I know, but does anybody know of a decent web site with a guide to Sun Solaris 5.7? There are certain elements that I just can't seem to find under Solaris which are readily available under Linux and want to know if they have Solaris equivelents..

Off-topic: Good Solaris guide?
by Andrew.Chandler＠ft.com 30 Sep '99

30 Sep '99

Martyn, http://www.SunFreeware.com/ has lots of Solaris Package files of various GNU utilities that are standard on most Linux distros but are lacking on Solaris. Also have a look at http://www.SolarisCentral.org/ as it has pointers to all things Solaris.

scp/ssh help needed
by jg＠cyberstorm.demon.co.uk 27 Sep '99

27 Sep '99

OK this sucks big time... Here I am (right now), using scp to upload a small (1KB) index.php file to a webserver in the States run by VA (see below). I watch the initial upload, then all goes quiet indefinetly. I've tried many times without success. I've had it suggested that the server may be doing a reverse dns lookup on my, yet nslookup <myip> works fine. Any ideas, only watching a 1KB upload for more than five/ten minutes gets boring...

LAN Party at Melton Grange (yes, it's ALUG-related)
by Laurie Brown 24 Sep '99

24 Sep '99

This may not appear to be ALUG-related, but it is... We've got a major LAN party planned for 21/22 Jan 2000, which is a Friday and Saturday. The main games will be Half-Life (inc TFC) and Quake3, servers for which run on Linux. We're expecting over a hundred people, and expect to need a minimum of 8 servers, possibly 9 or 10. There may be an NT box required for Tiberian Sun and so forth (no Linux servers). The purpose of this mail is: a) do any of you lot fancy coming? b) do you know anyone prepared to lend a server(s)/100mb network hubs? c) are any of you prepared to help technically? Cheers, Laurie.

Stupid Company Policy of the week
by jg＠cyberstorm.demon.co.uk 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Well, I'm going to let off some steam. I'm on Demon, using the CWC 50p offer. I'm getting Star Office weighing in at around 70Mb. There's not much competition in the office world so I guess this is going to have to do. So I start downloading from the Amsterdam mirror. It stalls more than it comes down. I abort and try the US East Coast; this one's fast without stalling. Whoops. Netscape crashes at 15%, 3hrs 30mins to go. I go back to the website and try grabbing it again. Oh no! The webserver to manage download accounts is down. In dispair, I find sun.co.uk, a lovely fast mirror. But oh no - the Star Office download goes back to the US. Why? I try once again, and his time I'm not getting any response at all. In fact, a 503 Server Not Responding comes up. I hit reload a few times and am finally presented with a response: Your Session Has Expired. I have now written to Sun blasting them for not keeping sun.co.uk in the UK. It's diabolically stupid to maintain a mirror when critical parts are left in one country susceptable to crashes and downtime. If any of you are put into the position when you're asked to setup mirrors or something similar, think of my tale of woe and think harder than the people in management - do the right thing and mirror in full. grrrr. -- James Green jg(a)cyberstorm.demon.co.uk Site Manager jg(a)linuxnewbie.com LinuxNewbie.com LNC http://www.cyberstorm.demon.co.uk/ [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Triple booting
by John Woodard 19 Sep '99

19 Sep '99

Any ideas on how to or where to look for info on triple booting Linux, Win NT and Win 98? Win NT and 98 reside on a FAT16 partition on hda1. Linux has / on hdb1 with /home on hdc1 and a swap partition on hdc5. Lilo is on the first sector of the Linux boot partition hdb1 so I'm booting it with a floppy at the moment. I presume that the NT boot loader can be configured to point to the Linux boot partition but I'm not really conversant with NT so I need some help here. I don't really want to use a third party boot manager or a floppy so it's either the NT boot loader or possibly loadlin but again that's a root I'd like to steer clear of. It wood be nice to have the NT loader come up at boot and have it select Linux as default. :-) Cheers, BJ [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Any chance of recovering a partition?
by Tatsuhiko Maekawa 12 Sep '99

12 Sep '99

Greeting from Japan (Hi all!) I migrated into Debian 2.1 Slink (with a tiny bit of Japanese environment), and it is cool to have it on my computer. That said, I also mistakenly configured lilo, my Windows 9x partition won't work -:) I know that there is a configuration problem in boot.0301. I don't have "boot.0301" in boot. I know myself that in order to boot Windows 98 on my first partition, I need a right "boot.0301" file, so that I can recover from that. Is there anyway I can recover boot.0301 without backup? I can't access to /dev/hda1, as the earliest part of the partition is messed Don't worry if I got to lose "that" partition. Though I'm gonna lose lots of pictures files and job hunting documents, I know I won't use Windows anyway.

Strange X problem.
by Laurie Brown 09 Sep '99

09 Sep '99

Lads, I don't know if this is a coincidence of not, but since I brought my PC home after alug3, if I connect to it from any other PC using X the machine hangs totally. The only cure is the reset button. Telnet works just fine, and X works fine on the machine itself. Does anyone have any idea what this might be or how to get around it? I recompiled to kernel cleanly and from scratch (we did that a few times on Sunday!), and that didn't help at all. Cheers, Laurie.

Mail Spool Question
by jg＠cyberstorm.demon.co.uk 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Hi all, Well, having fought with Debian 2.1 for some hours, I had to give up. The reason: with no mouse I could'n't get into X, and with no modem I couldn't hit the net to get help; I set both up myself and in the case of the modem, I tried manual configuration and Debian's pppconfig/pon progs, but neither had much effect (setserial reported the tty to be fine). So, last night I formatted again, and reinstalled RH6 - I am now rebuilding what I had, this time using RPMs and not source tarballs. However, I have had one slight hitch in my mail system. I backed /var/spool/mail up onto a Windows partition, reinstalled, got sendmail up and unfortunately collected mail before installing the backed-up mail. Hence this email. I just took a look at /var/spool/mail/jg to see if concatentation of files was possible, but there's a system-generated initial email with an 'X-IMAP' header and number which appears to have some significance. I'm no Unix mail expert, so what should I do? I only use sendmail with pine using standard unix mail configuration, so what do I do? Here's the email:

Question about .htaccess
by Ashley T. Howes 07 Sep '99

07 Sep '99

I've got a question on .htaccess on a web server. My friend has one of those ftp only web space accounts, so I can't get telnet access to it. I want to create a .htaccess file to password protect one of the directories, with corresponding .htpasswd file so I can prompt visitors to enter a username and password, and then it allows them to view the web pages in that directory. In the documents I have read on the web it indicates I need to issue an htpasswd command (with appropiate arguments) to create the .htpasswd file. This isn't possible as I have no telnet access to issue the command. Is it possible to fudge the .htpasswd file, either by hand or on my own linux box and then upload the resulting file? I currently have the .htaccess file set up to certain domains (e.g. anything ending with .dial.pipex.com), but this solution is not ideal. What we really want is a single user/password to access a restricted area. Furthermore I thought I would be able to write a perl script with a user/password setup for this type of application, but then I realised that once past the perl script password checker, you can get straight to the desired files :( Please email me your replies or see me at the meeting on Sunday to discuss this further if needed.

That debian MD5 question

Hi, can't remember if this was answered ;) I think Bill asked about MD5ing files in a package. If you do dpkg -s <packagename> you get a list of config files with their original MD5s. Do you really want to MD5 the binaries too or is that good enough? Also, when you upgrade a package, it detects if you've changed the configfiles and asks you what action to take.
