dmesg also doing the trick.
I am used to get the boot messages in /var/log/messages in sequence with
a other messages.

The stats message are switch on by adding then '--enable-stats' to the
./configure for ipsec-tools. There is no runtime option to switch the
message off.

No it's not fixed, patches are always welcome.

Serge has a few changes to 1.3 pending, one of them the 2.6.26 Kernel.
I'd wait until he has uploaded them and then try again.
It's sometimes very useful to start over with "make mrproper", I  
usually even wipe out the lfssystem to have everything clean.

We did that because the screen output got all messed up. Maybe it's  
better with 2.6 Kernels, we implemented it originally with 2.4.
You should be able to get all messages with the "dmesg" command once  
the system is up.

I personally don't use IPSec, so I'm not sure how useful this parameter is.
Does anybody know if we need it in general or not? Any opinions?

At the moment klogd en started en killed in initrd/linuxrc to flush the
kernel message buffer. This is my problem.
Now I need to unpack initrd, mount initrd, edit linuxrc, unmount and
pack initrd to comment out 2 lines.

Normaly is just use syslog-ng to read the kernel message buffer en write
the syslog to /var/log/message. This file start then with the boot log.
This works in Devil 1.2

There are some changes in the 2.6.25 kernel so it is prefers a differend
time source. I my case it resulted in a instable timesource. Searching
with google just gives to many useless hits. The solution is to add
clocksource=<name> to the linux boot options.

This build option give the following syslog messages:

racoon: alg_oakley_encdef_decrypt(3des klen=192 size=56): 0.000090
racoon: alg_oakley_hmacdef_one(hmac_sha1 size=36): 0.000057
racoon: alg_oakley_hmacdef_one(hmac_sha1 size=36): 0.000044
racoon: alg_oakley_encdef_encrypt(3des klen=192 size=64): 0.000061

It is nice to known how fast your hardware is.
But 11520 messages a day is............

Will this command executing just after the system is up help you? I realize that
it is not an elegant solution but if I should do it, I'd make something like this.

It's much easier to remove some functionality than add one. :-) Let's wait for

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Postfix problems

[Chris G. <dj_...@ti...>]

Hi Dom, and everyone else.
One quick and probably silly question, I've managed to get postfix to work
so I get system messages emailed to me (or at least I think I have), but is
there any way of getting my server to email me when it's finished printing
something? Thanks Chris.

Subject: Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Postfix problems

Hi Chris

I'm pleased to hear you got it working. There is mention of the postmap
command on my page, in the sub-section about setting up postfix SMTP
authentication; are you using SMTP authentication? If not, do you need a
password at all to send emails? (I'm not an expert on email systems!)

To change the outgoing email address using nail, use the -r option (do 'man
nail' for more information). And you can also change it using 'sendmail' by
putting into the text a line From:MyDevil<dev...@so...>. Both
seem to use postfix for the actual sending, but nail does a lot more
pre-processing and is generally easier to use, sendmail is basic but works
fine for simple text messages.

System-generated messages (e.g. from md_adm) as far as I know will always
come from 'root@', but perhaps you can overcome it by changing the name of
the 'root' superuser? See
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-change-rename-user-name-id/

You can change the source domain (tiscali.co.uk) by changing the
'myhostname' setting in main.cf. Do you have a domain of your own - I
presume you don't own tiscali.co.uk ;-) ?

[Devil-Linux-discuss] Requests

[Peter J. <P.J...@vi...>]

Hi,
 
I have 2 simple request for the next devil-linux 1.3 test release.
 
Please don't throw a way the kernel boot messages in initrd/linuxrc.
When you have a hardware issue you needs these messages.
My problem is that the 2.6.25.X kernel is using a bad time source. There
are a lot of messages on the net related to it but no clear reason why.
One posible solution is to hardcode the time source with the linux boot
command options.
 
I have the bad luck that the other side of one of my ipsec-tunnels is
using keep a live which result in 4 statistics log messages every 30
seconds per tunnel.These message are generated because of the
'--enable-stats' option in the build script.
Is it posible to remove this option from then build proces?

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] [PARTIALLY SOLVED] e100 module problem with1.3.6

Hi,

Devel-linux 1.3.6 has 2 drivers for 100 Mb Intel NIC, e100 and eepro100.
In my box both drivers got loaded but eepro100 was used. I want to use
the e100 so therefor I blacklisted the eepr100 in /etc/modprobe.conf

The new version of DL (with kernel 2.6.26.6) will be availible soon. Probably it
will be better with KVM than 2.6.25.x

May be... Hopefully it's fixed already in new version, which will be availible
in couple days.

Is it necessary for you to use exactly dhclient ? Standard DHCP client for DL is
   dhcpcd and it works fine. Anyway, thank you very much, I've modified
/etc/dhclient.conf in order to get it operational.

[Devil-Linux-discuss] [PARTIALLY SOLVED] e100 module problem with 1.3.6

[Sandro T. <tek...@li...>]

Hi to all,
just begin to play with DL.

I'm not a module expert but I think I've found a bug in the e100 module loading (Intel ethernet card or on board card for laptops, for example Thinkpad) in the development version 1.3.6-2008-08-12 for i586 CPUs.

I installed DL on a USB key and everything went fine.
In the setup procedure I set up the e100 module but when I tried to get an IP from the lan dhcp server I've got a fault, due to something wrong in the file /etc/dhclient.conf (btw, there is also some garbage in this file, like reference to 'andare.fugue.com',  'home.vix.com' and 'andare.swiftmedia.com'): 

line 14 ---> script "/etc/dhclient-script";

while this script file is located in /sbin


Quick workaround in 3 steps to let the network run:

1. ifconfig eth1 up
2. cp /sbin/dhclient-script /etc
3. sudo dhclient eth1

Remeber to save-config after these steps, so next time you boot you have only to do steps 1 and 3.
At the moment I didn't try to automatize this at boot time, because this won't be my final hw architecture.

Regards
Sandro

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Virtualization support.

[warptrosse <war...@gm...>]

Hi, thanks again... I have *devil-linux* working on *KVM* vm.... this is
becouse *Fedora 9* has removed the *XEN* support from their OS... until the
version 10 is released....

I'm trying to put *devil-linux* in a virtual hard-disk... using *
install-on-usb*.... but It gives me folllowing error:

==============================
=======================================================
mke2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
Warning: 256-byte inodes not usable on older systems
tune2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
Setting maximal mount count to -1
copying files
copying image of CD in /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd to device mounted
on ./tmp-install2usb/disk-mnt/bootcd.iso
/sbin/install-on-usb: line 28: 804 Bus error           nice dd bd=$bs
count=$nsectors if=$1 of=$2
Install failed!
syncing and unmounting (this could take a while)
=====================================================================================

I'll try to change the *inodes* size to *128*... in *mke2fs* line of *
install-on-usb* script (mke2fs -I 128 <disk>)....

I'm using a VM with a *4gb* virtual *hard-disk* (/dev/hda) and an ide *
cd-rom* (/dev/hdc).... maybe the *hard-disk* must be *sata*....

regards...

WARPTROSSE {The knowledge of a man belongs to all the humanity}

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Problem compiling vmlinux.lds.S

[Reid S. <RSp...@do...>]

I didn't modify any of the build environment code. However, I did
reconfigure several times and consequently removed some
tmp/.done_build_* files to get added things to build again (instead of
being skipped).  It would be nice if build.sh did that for you on
"menuconfig" if the .config file already exists and you add something
that has an existing tmp/.done_build_* file.  I might prepare a patch
for that unless its already fixed in 1.3

 

My build host system is:  

Linux dev 2.6.24-19-server #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:44:47 UTC 2008 x86_64
GNU/Linux

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy 

I don't have SELinux, Exec-Shield, GRSecurity or PAX on the build host

Nothing special here .. can I build on a 64-bit host?

 

My lfssystem was unpacked after downloading from here:

 
ftp://ftp.univ-lille1.fr/pub/os/linux/distributions/devil-linux/devel/so
urces/lfssystem-for-DL-1.0_and_up/lfssystem-cvs-20030127-i486-stripped.t
ar.bz2 

 

However, please note that the sources/1.2 directory on that FTP server
are *wrong* (different from ftp.hotze.com) so I'm wondering if the
lfssystem is broken too?

 

BTW, how long before the main FTP server is functioning again? I'd like
to "update_src" but every time I do (and point it to #1), it just fails
on connection and keeps retrying.

 

Reid.

[Devil-Linux-discuss] acpi for DL 1.2.15?

[Mike B. <mi...@bu...>]

I'm looking for a set of pre-build acpi modules for Devil-Linux version
1.2.15 (kernel version 2.4.36.6).
Anyone have them already?

(just lazy about not wanting to setup the build env, etc).

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Virtualization support.

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey, 

Some of the options are enabled in DL 1.3

These are the options which we currently have enabled related to XEN. 

CONFIG_NETXEN_NIC=m
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_GUEST=y
CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y

Please keep in mind that we're still on Kernel 2.6.25.

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Postfix problems

[Chris G. <dj_...@ti...>]

Hi Dom,
I have no idea if it's using SMTP authentication as I know very little about
email systems either, but I'm guessing it does as it wasn't working until
after I used the postmap command. Thanks for the information about changing
the address, I've had a bit of a play with the sendmail options and managed
to send an email so it appears to come from my email address instead of
tiscali. I wish I did own Tiscali, at least I might have a stable net
connection, but that's a different story lol. I'll have a bit of a play with
nail later, only I've got to go to work in a bit. Thanks again for the help,
Chris.

Hi Chris

I'm pleased to hear you got it working. There is mention of the postmap
command on my page, in the sub-section about setting up postfix SMTP
authentication; are you using SMTP authentication? If not, do you need a
password at all to send emails? (I'm not an expert on email systems!)

To change the outgoing email address using nail, use the -r option (do 'man
nail' for more information). And you can also change it using 'sendmail' by
putting into the text a line From:MyDevil<dev...@so...>. Both
seem to use postfix for the actual sending, but nail does a lot more
pre-processing and is generally easier to use, sendmail is basic but works
fine for simple text messages.

System-generated messages (e.g. from md_adm) as far as I know will always
come from 'root@', but perhaps you can overcome it by changing the name of
the 'root' superuser? See
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-change-rename-user-name-id/

You can change the source domain (tiscali.co.uk) by changing the
'myhostname' setting in main.cf. Do you have a domain of your own - I
presume you don't own tiscali.co.uk ;-) ?

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Postfix problems

[Chris G. <dj_...@ti...>]

Hi Dom, Well its working now, but I'm not really sure how or why. One thing
I did find from somewhere on the net was that you need to run something
called postmap to convert the passwd file in to the right format. Having
said its working now, I do still seem to have a small problem. Whenever I
send an email from my server it comes up as ro...@ti... and no matter
what I fiddle with it either works as ro...@ti... or not at all. Any
ideas please??

Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,

Well as I wrote that guide I would certainly like to help, though there are
real experts around here who will know more! Here are some suggestions:

When you do:
/etc/init.d/postfix restart
do you get a series of messages all ending [OK]?

Have you tried:
postfix check
to see what this tells you? All I see for instance is a couple of warning
messages saying
postfix/postfix-script: warning: /var/spool/postfix/etc/shadow and
/etc/shadow differ
postfix/postfix-script: warning: /var/spool/postfix/etc/passwd and
/etc/passwd differ ... but these are not a problem since my postfix works.

Have you looked in your syslog file? For instance, after trying to send a
message e.g. by typing:
echo hello | sendmail root
you can then type:
cat /home/messages | grep postfix
(assuming that you have set /home/messages as the destination logfile in
syslog-ng.conf). If postfix is running then the most recent messages should
tell you something about what is happening when it tries (and presumably
fails) to deliver your email.

If you are using DL 1.3.6 [testing], did you follow the instructions to fix
the data_directory entry in /etc/postfix/main.cf? [I am sure this bug will
be squashed in the next release.]

If you solve your problem (or not!), please let me know if there was
anything wrong/confusing in the guide so I can improve it.

Regards

Dom

Hi, I think I understand what you're saying. The printer is an old HP
Laserjet 4 on LPT1. I'm not quite sure why it thinks the 2 are different as
windows is using the same driver for both instances. Is there any way to
make this work??

Hi Chris,

The problem is that Windows sends not PS (postscript) data to the printer
but if you print the document to a file it will be exactly PS.
It's an assumption only because I know nothing about your printer.

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] FTP Mirror Quality?

[Reid S. <RSp...@do...>]

Okay, seems my suspicion was right. Using ftp.hotze.com as the source
for the 1.2 source files leads to no checksum errors from update_src.
Someone needs to update the Lille mirror. In particular, this directory:
ftp://ftp.univ-lille1.fr/pub/os/linux/distributions/devil-linux/devel/so
urces/1.2/ contains the wrong sources for 1.2

 

Thanks for your help, Martin.

Martin,

 

I think the problem is that the UT Lille mirrors 1.2 sources are out of
date. At the very least they don't match yours at ftp.hotze.com. Your
list of files seems to correspond with what the 1.2 release wants in the
md5sum.lst so I'm going to try again using your ftp server (which isn't
part of update_src).

 

Thanks,

 

Reid.

Thanks, Martin.  Yes, the mirrors seem fine.  After I looked a little
deeper, it seems to be a mismatch between the build and src versions -
at least as best as I can tell.  See my follow-up message (which you
should have by now J )

Betreff: [Devil-Linux-discuss] FTP Mirror Quality?

Heiko,

How up-to-date are the mirrors? When I run update_src, it gives me a
long list of files that exist in the src directory but do not appear
in the md5sum.lst file. For example, a few of them are:

    src/zip232.tar.gz
    src/wget-1.10.2.tar.gz
    src/openssh-4.6p1.tar.gz

There are 113 of these files with missing md5sum.lst entries.
Correspondingly, I get an error message like this:

src/zip-2.3.2.tar.bz2: FAILED open or read

for each one of them.

Is all this normal or is the mirror I'm using (UT Lille/France) out
of date? The build instructions say that I should get my initial
download from the mirror (which I did) and then run update_src again
with the Devil-Linux FTP-Server which I want to do but can't because
of the DNS problem.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Reid Spencer

my bad, I forgot to set up the dns entry for ftp.devil-linux.org with

It'll be a few days until it is fixed, please go to one of the mirrors
