Debian Potato
by Adam Bower 19 May '00

19 May '00

Hi all, Do we want a Potato CD set for Sunday? I have an up to date local mirror here mounted via nfs on /debian and one of the developers has a cd burner on the other side of the room. How would I go about getting potato onto CD? Is there some CD making scripts?

If whoever started "Who's around" is still interested in who is in the Cambridge area, I work in Bar Hill and live in Somersham (nr St Ives). I am a relative newbie to Linux and am also trying to learn C programming.

Introduction / OT LDAP, SAMBA, Netatalk, PAM
by Joe Frost 16 May '00

16 May '00

Hi, Just a note to introduce myself and ask a question... My name is Joe Frost and I work at a software company based near Saxmundham in Suffolk. We have been using Linux for around 5 years (first Slackware for DNS and Sendmail, then later RedHat 5.1 for QMail, and now RedHat 6.x, Caldera OL 2.x, Turbo Linux 6, and Cobalt appliances for development). I'm the IT bloke so I have very little to do with coding but get involved extensively in the network, hardware, and OS side of things. If you want to know more about the company's products then email privately as I don't want to spam the list with that stuff. Now the OT bit... I've recently taken it upon myself to try and come up with a Netware 4.x replacement based around Linux (probably RH 6.x), and am looking at using OpenLDAP and PAM for user authentication against the directory to support services like SaMBa, Netatalk, POP3 and IMAP. I've got quite a bit of stuff working but I would be interested chatting to anyone who has experience with this kind of thing. Hope to speak to (at least some) of you soon. Best regards, Joe Frost I.S. Engineer Omnis Software Ltd.

Someone at work today said that there is still a Lug in Cambridge. They are going to get me the url tonight and I will post it here tomorrow. I will also see if can find a CD-R drive at work so I can burn a Potato cd set for this weekend.

diald problem..
by Neil Sedger 15 May '00

15 May '00

Hi all I've got ppp working fine, using scripts linuxconf generated. But diald doesn't like it. It tries to bring up the connection when it should, but then bombs out when starting pppd: May 15 00:55:32 passage pppd[5515]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0 May 15 00:55:32 passage pppd[5515]: Using interface ppp0 May 15 00:55:32 passage pppd[5515]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS2 May 15 00:55:35 passage pppd[5515]: Remote message: ^@ May 15 00:55:36 passage pppd[5515]: Peer is not authorized to use remote address 212.41.40.37 May 15 00:55:37 passage pppd[5515]: Hangup (SIGHUP) May 15 00:55:37 passage pppd[5515]: Modem hangup May 15 00:55:37 passage pppd[5515]: Connection terminated. Normally (if I run pppd from the shell without diald) I get the 'Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS2' line then it tells me local and remote addresses and off I surf... any ideas? Checked the diald/ppp howtos and FAQs and they don't mention it...?

Mandrake on Laptop
by Rob Smith 13 May '00

13 May '00

Helo, As you may remember my last e-mail I was considering installing Mandrake on my laptop, well now I've done it and I have to say I am very impressed, it auto detected all my hardware, even my PCMCIA combined Lan/56k modem and installed the correct drivers (I was very wary of this). Now however I have a problem..... The contrast is really bad. It is far too bright and the icons look really washed out. I have tried turning brightness down/contrast up but to no avail what should I do??
