The problem starts mostly on Debian install party while all the area
is covered with Broadband wirless network (Thank you SCE for it)
There are not ethernet cards to connect to get the package from the net.
so i find myself creating a seprate disk with:
some kernel sources , lots of module source files
or Just 4 debian dvds (Just in case).


Since you don't know what you may need .

This is exactly what i can't affored myself (since on Install parties
you can't say: sorry mate your wifi isn't working we need to bring you
some more divers).



while with normal drivers (! Ndiswrapper) you can apt-get / wget there
you need to google for it.



P.s


on most Install parties / meetings we use allready created Wirelless
BroadBand Network or Ad-Hoc based .

I don't know k9copy, is there a way to have it use another directory
than /tmp, e.g. by a command-line option or by setting TMPDIR?  If not,
you should file a bug report to the k9copy authors, because putting huge
files in /tmp is just plain wrong.  These days it makes sense to mount
/tmp on a tmpfs filesystem, and writing DVD images there thwarts this
possibility.


Do you need more help?X

Bob, 



I have not done this with AD; however, I have done it with Novell's eDir on a 
Netware Box. After confirming what attributes where visiable with an LDAP 
Browser on my windows workstation (http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/), 
I wrote a perl script to verify/test e-mail address verification on the eDir. 



  •   Perl Snippit **************
 # Open Connection to the LDAP server
 print "Opening a connection to $ldhost ... ";
 $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ldhost) || die "Could not connect -- $@";
 print "OK\n";
 # 
 print "Binding ... ";
 # Do an anonymous bind
 $mesg = $ldap->bind;
 $status = $mesg->code;
 $errmsg = $mesg->error;
 print "Status: ($status) $errmsg ";
 #
 # Do a search for each e-mail address
 foreach $addr (@eaddrs) {
   print "Looking for $addr ... ";
   $filter = "(\&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson) (mail=".$addr."))";
   $mesg = $ldap->search(base=>$ogunit, filter=>$filter, attrs=>@attribs );
   $status = $mesg->code; $errmsg = $mesg->error; print "Status: ($status)
   $errmsg "; $ecnt = $mesg->count; print "found $ecnt entries\n"; if(
   $ecnt > 0 ) {    # Found email address in directory 
     foreach $entry ($mesg->entries) {
       $dn = $entry->dn;
       $spam = $entry->get_value('SpamControl');
       print "\t$dn \tSpamControl: $spam ";
       @email = $entry->get_value('mail');  
       $flag=0;
       foreach $alias (@email) { 
         if( $flag ) { print "\n\t  Alias: $alias"; }
         else {
           print "\n\tAddress: $alias"; 
           $flag=1;
           }
         }
       }
     }
   else { print "failed. Does not exist in the directory\n\n"; }
   } 
******** End of Perl Snippit ***************




Once, I was able to verify email addresses with the perl; I adjusted Exim4's 
configuration like so ... (You need to have the "heavy" exim4 package)



 #### CWR Attempt at LDAP E-Mail Address verification
 #### accept any "group" or "mail list" address which are not in the
 #### eDirectory
    accept
       domains = kimberly.uidaho.edu
       recipients = lsearch;CONFDIR/acceptable.lst
 


 #### check for individual e-mail addresses which are in the eDirectory


    deny

       domains = kimberly.uidaho.edu
       message = Administrative prohibition - unable to validate recipient
       condition = ${lookup ldapm{ \
                     ldap://###.###.###.###/o=ui?mail?sub?\
                     (mail=${quote_ldap:$local_part@$domain})} {0} {1} }

 ####


 #### CWR Attempt at LDAP -- discard
 



The key for me, was using the perl script and ldap browser to verify what 
attributes where visiable when doing an anonymous bind to ldap _and_ how to 
code the request. 



I how this helps a bit. My setup is a Novell Netware server hidden from the 
outside world and a Debian ETCH server visable to the outside world running 
exim.

Hi,



Does anybody know how to install the latest version of ntfs-3g from 
http://ntfs-3g.org/ in the latest version of Etch stable???



I just finished installing the latest version of "Etch" and want to 
setup fstab for read/write access to a couple of XP NTFS partitions.


Do you need help?X

ntfs-3g seems to be the way I want to go but ntfs-3g isn't part of the 
stable release of Etch so I downloaded the latest (stable) version of 
ntfs-3g (1.1120) from the ntfs-3g.org web site and ran ./configure.



./configure told me that I needed to install a version of fuse>=2.6 for 
it to continue ... but "fuse" (Filesystem in Userspace) is already 
compiled as a module into Etch stable.  I thought that version was 2.6 
or better???



So how do I get where I want to go?



Thanks in advance



Don

Please, help me! I have read much much about bluetooth protocol and
Debian, but from begin to now I cannot transfert my files from my PC
to my cell phone without grafical interface (gnome-bluetooth and
similar).


Do you need more help?X

It's frustrating!



Now, I want and easy text-based way to trasfert one file PC->phone. I
think `obex' family is the  right way, but despite
/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf said NO, cell phone ask me a password (PIN),
isset on 1234, but it said it's wrong!



With grafical interface phone ask if I want receive file and then
trasfert start without


problems! Why?


THX!

  If k9copy reads an environment variable (usually TEMP or TMP) to find
the temporary directory, you could try setting that to somewhere that
has more space (e.g., ~/tmp).  Its documentation might say more about which
environment variables it respects.  If it's a GUI program, you could also
check its interactive configuration and see whether there's a setting
controlling where the temporary files go.

Fuse has a kernel component and a userspace component. Your
kernel version is > 2.6, but in Etch, libfuse and fuse-utilities are
version 2.5.x.  Backports.org has fuse >= 2.6 for etch. And they
have ntfs-3g packages as well.

Hello,
I have the following raid active partition:

sudo dmraid -s
*** Group superset isw_cfaabdceig
--> Active Subset
name   : isw_cfaabdceig_RAIDv0
size   : 308281344
stride : 256
type   : mirror
status : ok
subsets: 0
devs   : 2
spares : 0

sudo dmraid -r
/dev/sdb: isw, "isw_cfaabdceig", GROUP, ok, 320173054 sectors, data@ 0
/dev/sdc: isw, "isw_cfaabdceig", GROUP, ok, 312581806 sectors, data@ 0

cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] 
[raid10]
unused devices: <none>

This RAID set was working until now, but /dev/sda (first disk on my system but 
not include in the RAID) was replaced.
So I suppose simply I have to (re)mount the RAID.
How to proceed ?

Thanks for any clue or help.
Bye,
Bruno


Can we help you?X

No.  The NTFS file system does not need defragmentation.
The best explanation I've heard of why they have a defragmenter for it
is that it was considered easier to write a defragmenter than to go
about explaining that FAT32 just sucks.

PS: The only time I ran XP's defragmenter for its NTFS filesystem (so as
to make space for Debian using ntfsresize back when it was not yet able
to move files on its own), my wife subsequently complained that her
machine booted (and generally felt) slower ;-)

Well, I debugged this further. When NMBD is loaded then I get irregular 
disk accesses, that is differing periods of time between them. If nmbd 
is stopped, then those disk accesses stop completely.
I tried using strace on all processes, most are in idle just waiting to 
do something. NMBD is very often doing things, usually attaching 
processes, these  exit then a while later. But there doesn't seem to be 
any correlation between these processes and when I see the disk access.
So I guess strace is not showing me everything, I have also tried just
strace -t -f -pPID, I get a lot more ouput, but no sign of nmbd trying
to access the disk.
Anyone know why?

Cheers Brian

It's been a while since I used k-9 copy (a few months at least) but
I never needed that much space in /tmp. Poke around in the config
dialogs looking for references to /tmp and change that.=20

hm... it occurs to me that maybe you're trying to backup from one dvd
to another? And that's causing k-9 copy to want to store the file
temporarily, thus it uses /tmp. Why not just copy it directly to your
harddrive and then perform the burn as a separate step. just a
thought.
