Hi there,



We will soon have, 5 or 6 Debian boxs (servers and desktops), in our
LAN. We would like to know, if it is better to use apt-cacher o approx
for the updates.



I couldn't find enough documentation of any of them, to see some
features, before installing one.


Do you need help?X

Thanks very much,



tizo

Don't know where to look next?X

This is an example only. I have never worked with the .amr format
before, and this is what I had to input for ffmpeg to successfully
convert an .mp3 file. Before that, it errored out a few times, saying
the AMR codec requires mono (-ac 1) and a sample rate of 8000 Hz (-ar
8000), and one of a certain list of bitrates (-ab 7400 (omit that
parameter and read the error message to get the list)). If you need to
tune additional parameters, read the documentation:



$ man ffmpeg

Excellent advice.

In my experience, this is unreliable. Those sensors are
not accurate.

Hi,=20

I had been able to use netselect before. When I tried it again just now, =
all
sites end up with "9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok".=20

I'm wondering why netselect fails on me. My understanding is that netsele=

uses ping, but ping works fine for me, but traceroute not. That means=20
netselect actually depends on traceroute?

As more and more settings don't allow traceroute to go through, is there
any alternatives to netselect?=20

if you can somehow get on the same ethernet network, you might have
luck with ncpfs, which provides some netware protocol stuff. I use it
on one of my networks to connect to a point-of-sale system server that
runs netware.=20

otherwise I think you're in for some kind of null-modem thing off the
serial port but don't ask me how...

what was the problem? there are 2.6 series kernel in sarge (2.6.8 I
think). You should be able to just do it without messing with Etch
packages. and since you've started... you may need to finish moving up
to Etch.

I think there is some new console-font stuff happening. You can see it
with a successful post-sarge boot .. the screen flickers while it sets
up the consoles. Have you tried booting single-user mode?=20

At work I use a networked box that runs from Novell Netware on DOS v5.0
This runs very old accounting software. The box itself is a P120 with
16 MB RAM and a small HD (about 128MB). No OS on the HD.

I have managed to persuade the somewhat ITphobic management to provide me
a standalone box on which to analyse the daily data. Obviously I have
installed Debian Etch. Having written a few Python scripts to take the
output of printed reports and parse them into an OO spreadsheet it is
all coming together.

However, to transfer the files I have to use a floppy disc. How can I
connect the 2 boxes? The DOS box cannot boot from CD, has no installed
OS (boots into network off floppy) and has only a serial connection
spare. The network is 10BASE-2 thin ethernet.

I am using approx for a at least one year now. I used apt-proxy before.
Approx is fast and simple. There is almost no configuration (just add
the repository you want to use) and change the sources.list of your
host. Concerning speed, i move from apt-proxy which can achieve 1MBps
to approx (2-4MBps).=20

I cannot compare with apt-cacher since i have never used it.

Smart Boot Manager can probably boot your machine from CDROM.

Not sure if dnsmasq[1] might help - it can serve the names of local machines
which are not in the global DNS. I've looked at it but never actually used it
myself.

are you using sid? All my sid boxes recently showed this behavior with
the plug-in. You have to right-click the plugin-screen (the part that
comes up when youclick a link) to get a context-menu. select
Configure. then pick a video output. I used x11 and it worked for me.

Hi,=20

I'm trying to setup Debian to accept my remote ssh
login. No problem with that, but I'm facing a
configuration problem:=20

It doesn't seem to be able to handle/accept the public/private key
checking, i.e.,what sourceforge.net is doing [1], but insists on checking
login password [2], which is not a recommended practice.

This is a vanilla sshd configuration. I.e., everything from Debian defaul=

What changes should I make to enable the public/private key Authenticatio=

thanks

No, I actually haven't an Inform Guard 600A, but will to by some UPS.=20
On that site I find that, that an APC Back-UPS is supported by apcupsd.=20
So I decide that, that I should to by such an UPS. :)

Thats correct Chris, dnsmasq is what I use and I connect via hostname with
ssh on the lan.

=66rom /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes

[....]

# To enable empty passwords, change to yes (NOT RECOMMENDED)
PermitEmptyPasswords no

# Change to no to disable s/key passwords
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

# Change to yes to enable tunnelled clear text passwords
PasswordAuthentication no


and before you do that (i.e., while passwords is still on) do

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub you@your-box

it will prompt you for the password, copy up the key and tweak a
couple permissions if needed. Then you can test it using public-key
before you turn off the passwords...

Looks like that could be a partial solution. There is a spare terminal
in my office and the 'IT Manager' is on 2 weeks leave.

Thanks, I'll try that. If I can boot a live CD I'm halfway there.
